Chapter 1: The Ghost King's Marriage (1)
The winter night is bitterly cold, but fortunately there is no snow tonight, otherwise no one would want to go out if it is cold and snowy.
At half past three in the morning, the street was dark, and one of the street lamps was broken, which was particularly scary.
In the street, there was a figure of a man squatting at the crossroads, throwing paper money into a brazier, and a gust of wind blew, and soot drifted everywhere.
And not far from this man's side there was a white and yellow cat squatting, half-squinting, holding hands, in front of it a horoscope floating in the air, and the pointer on the horoscope pointed in the direction of the crossroads.
It has been half a year since Hua Zhu came to the mortal world, and he has never found Lu Qing's whereabouts, let alone caught him, and now he hasn't even seen a shadow.
Lu Qing. The Taoist priest who had disturbed the cultivation of the Three Realms almost turned the Three Realms upside down, but suddenly it was as if the world had evaporated.
And the horoscope given to him by Si Ming Xingjun had a reaction at this time, could it be that this incident was related to Lu Qing?
"Big orange, come on." The man shouted at the cat.
The cat stood up and stepped forward dissatisfiedly: "Call me Flower Candle or Demon Lord, or Master, don't call me Big Orange!" The voice of the flower candle also has a strong juvenile voice.
And the man who called him didn't look very old, with clear eyebrows and a tear mole in the lower corner of his right eye.
He smiled and picked up the flower candle, wrapped the flower candle in his down jacket, and pulled the zipper to show his head: "Yes, yes, Lord Demon Lord." This paper money has burned tens of thousands, but there is no lonely soul to rob it, is there something wrong? ”
On the streets of this intersection, in just three days, there were three fatal car accidents, and all of them were women.
After the family brought the body back, almost the same strange thing happened one after another.
The candles on the altar are not lit no matter how they are lit, or the family members can dream of crying their dead relatives every night when they go to bed.
Even those who don't believe in these things have to believe that there are things that can't be explained at all.
So these family members found Tianqing, and when they saw him as a deputy student, they had a calculation in their hearts, but later they saw all kinds of pennants in his home, so they reluctantly believed him.
Hua Zhu looked at the empty street and thought for a while: "Probably there is another ghost king in charge here, the ghost king didn't touch the money, and the other ghosts didn't dare to move." You have to think of a way to lure the ghost king out. Although he still doesn't know, what does this have to do with Lu Qing.
But he believed that his horoscope would not deceive.
"Hmm." Xie Tian nodded, took out a knife from his pocket, cut his finger and dripped it on the ground.
The aroma of Xie Tianqing's blood fascinates the flowers and candles. But he's a serious demon, and he can't do such a serious thing.
Soon, the surrounding wind began to stir, and the cold wind that was originally calm gradually became violent, and even Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu couldn't open their eyes for a while.
In the wind, the candles smelled of rot, and the smell of rotting wood was heavy, damp.
Hua Zhu half-squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see a black figure standing in the middle of the crossroads, his appearance was not clear, but his limbs could still be vaguely distinguished.
"Tianqing, you see, it's out." Hua Zhu stretched out his paw and patted Xie Tianqing's face.
"It's finally out." Xie Tianqing held the flower candle in one hand and posed the spell casting finger in the other, and the mana condensed on his finger.
The ghost king is not stupid, as soon as he senses that something is wrong, he immediately disappears without a trace.
Xie Tianqing ran in the direction of the ghost king, but the ghost king was gone.
"Damn! Let him run! Flower Candle shouted dissatisfied.
However, Xie Tianqing's left temple suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly looked to his right, and a black car actually rushed towards them without lights.
Xie Tianqing jumped back with the flower candle and dodged, the black car crossed in front of them, and hit the green belt headlong, and the front cover immediately bounced up, and it was suddenly unrecognizable.
One of them looked down at each other before stepping forward.
The window of the car was not closed, and inside was a man in his thirties and forties, with his head resting on the airbag, blood on his forehead, but still angry, still alive.
And the air inside the car was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Xie Tianqing sighed, took out his mobile phone and dialed 110: "Hey, police?" There's a drunk driver here who crashed into a car. Then he called 120 as well.
Coincidentally, 120 and 110 arrived almost at the same time, and the ambulance took the people away, and the police car took them away.
At four o'clock in the morning, they were at the police station.
The policeman was also apparently sleepy, drinking coffee and yawning: "You mean, you were on the street about to go home, and then the drunk driver crashed into it without turning on the headlights, and you happened to dodge?" ”
"Hmm." Xie Tian nodded.
"But we also found braziers and dark paper on the side of the road, aren't they yours?" The policeman took out the photo and dotted the glowing paper.
Xie Tianqing smiled awkwardly: "It's mine." ”
"So you took a cat in the middle of the night and burned the paper on the side of the road?" The policeman's eyes fell on the flower candle that had been hiding in Xie Tianqing's clothes, so he made his head and kept staring at the police.
"Comrade policeman, I think you should also know that there have been several car accidents over there in the past few days, and I was entrusted by my family to give their deceased relatives less paper money on the side of the road, which is a part-time job. As for me with a cat...... That's because it's still quite scary in the middle of the night, so I brought the family cat to be brave. "Xie Tianqing has been doing this for a long time, and he is very good at serious nonsense.
"And this kind of part-time job?" The policeman was a little unconvinced, and took a sip of coffee, "You're still a student, right?" Are you an adult? Take out your ID card. ”
Xie Tianqing took out his wallet from his pocket and handed over his ID card.
On his ID card, he is twenty-one years old.
"Which school?" The policeman glanced at the ID card.
"K big, junior this year."
"Learn what?"
"Those who study art." Although Xie Tianqing felt that this had nothing to do with the police, he still answered honestly.
"How good it is to study art, find other part-time jobs in the future, don't do such feudal superstitions. Did you know that it is illegal to burn paper money on the road? A fine of thirty invoices is issued to you, and you go to your employer for reimbursement. ”
In the end, Xie Tianqing paid a fine of thirty yuan and walked out of the police station with the invoice.
"There are more and more rules for mortals." Flower Candle complained.
"Forget it, go back to sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow." Xie Tianqing yawned, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Hua Candle looked up at Xie Tianqing's white neck and Adam's apple: "You still want to sleep?" I'll bet you a pack of dried fish, and those three aunts will come over to annoy you tomorrow morning before dawn. ”
Xie Tianqing's yawn choked back in fright, and looked down at the flower candle: "I am a mortal now, and mortals need to rest." ”
"The pointer on my natal chart points to that intersection, I think that ghost king may have something to do with Lu Qing."
"What's the relationship?" Xie Tianqing looked down at him.
Hua Zhu laughed a few times meaninglessly. In fact, the flower candle itself is not very clear.
Early in the morning, at about half past seven, the doorbell of Xie Tianqing's house rang, one after another, and the doorbell was mixed with the sound of the door.
The flower candle nested next to Xie Tianqing's pillow, the cat's ears trembled, his eyes didn't open, he raised his flesh paw and patted Xie Tianqing's face.
The solution to the heavens and the sleepiness is terrible, and the sleep is dead, and there is no reaction at all.
Seeing that he was still sleeping, Hua Candle half-opened his eyes, his paw stretched out from the meat pad, and slapped his paw on the face of Tian Qing.
His face suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he sat up from the bed, looking dazed.
"Open the door, it's noisy." Flower Candle yawned, closed her eyes, and curled herself tighter.
Xie Tianqing didn't get up, and he didn't have time to look at the injury on his face, so he walked out of the door and went to the living room to open the door.
Outside the door were the three family members of the three deceased. Seeing Xie Tianqing's face frightened and sad, he cried before he could start speaking.
"O Master! I dreamed of my daughter again last night! The only family member who didn't cry also shouted at the top of his voice.
The neighbors next door were woken up when they heard the commotion, pushed open the door and looked at it suspiciously.
"You'll come in first." Xie Tianqing smiled awkwardly at the next-door neighbor and pulled the three family members in.
Xie Tianqing asked them to sit down first to calm down, and he boiled a pot of boiling water first and made tea for them.
After they had finished their tea and calmed down a bit, they spoke, "Master! I dreamed that a team of relatives appeared at the door of my house, and then I pulled my daughter away, my daughter didn't want to, crying, but she was still pulled into a sedan chair and picked up! This...... What does that mean? ”
"Me too, me too!" The other two family members also said in unison.
Xie Tianqing frowned: "This is the ghost king's marriage." ”
The three family members looked at each other: "What? ”
"It's a ghost king who will marry a girl who has passed away and become a wife."
The three family members still looked at him incomprehensibly.
"Well...... The girl who was married away had to stay in that place for the rest of her life, and she couldn't be reincarnated, so she was naturally very reluctant, so she kept asking her family for help. ”
"How's that going to work! Guru! You've got to figure it out! My daughter died so young, and it's not peaceful to die, how can you let us live......" said one of the family members, crying again.
"I know that, I'll figure it out." Xie Tianqing comforted.
After tossing for more than an hour, Xie Tianqing finally persuaded the three family members to leave.
He glanced at his face as he passed by the toilet, three scratches, he sighed, raised his hand to cover the scar, and the wound disappeared in an instant.
He lay back on the bed and got under the covers.
The most comfortable thing in this winter is to hide in the bed and sleep.
"What's going on out there?" The candles were sleepy, and they didn't listen carefully, but they could only hear them crying over there.
