Chapter 3: The Ghost King's Marriage (3)
At this time, Hua Zhu took out the fortune chart and re-calculated, and the pointer on the life chart pointed firmly in the direction of the ghost king.
Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu both looked puzzled, and after they glanced at each other, they returned to the cave where the ghost king was.
Hua Zhu covered his nose and looked at the ghost king, and his upper left life chart pointed at the ghost king all the time, not biased or oblique.
Xie Tianqing smiled: "This thing can't be broken, right?" ”
"How is that possible! This is how the magic weapon can be so easy to break! Flower Candle immediately retorted.
Hua Zhu got closer a little closer, he covered his nose, looked the ghost king up and down carefully, and finally, found a ring of hair on the ghost king's wrist.
The ghost king himself is full of filth, and his body is also dirty, and it is really not easy to find this circle of hair if you don't look carefully.
Hua Zhu pinched his nose with one hand, and after taking his life back with the other, he withdrew the hair into his own hand.
The black hair floated in the palm of the flower candle, and in addition to the filthy aura of the ghost king, Lu Qing's aura could be clearly detected in this hair.
After the hair was taken back by the flower candle, the resentment on the ghost king's body suddenly disappeared by half, and the originally cloudy eyes became clear, and the ghost king breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed his body.
"Tsk! I just said that he was controlled by Lu Qing's hair. Hua Zhu was so angry that he burned the hair in his palms to ashes.
"Lu Qing wants the soul of a woman, and it just so happens that this ghost king is also thinking crookedly, so Lu Qing attaches a small part of the power to his hair and attaches it to the ghost king's hand so that it can be controlled." Xie Tianqing guessed.
"What does Lu Qing want female souls to do?"
Xie Tianqing thought for a moment: "I don't know, but the soul has many functions. ”
Hua Zhu couldn't guess Lu Qing's thoughts, let alone his purpose for doing this, but now it seems that it is a mixed bag. The good thing is that they happened to destroy Lu Qing's plot, and the bad thing is that the clue is broken again.
"What are you going to do with him?" Hua Candle was tired, and turned back into a cat and jumped into the arms of Tian Qing.
And Xie Tianqing also took it and hugged him.
"It's okay to kill him, it's okay to send him to the underworld, what do you say?" Xie Tianqing looked down at him
"Look at him and he's miserable, send him to the underworld." The golden cat's eyes looked at the immobile ghost king.
Xie Tianqing smiled: "Do you know what will happen if you send him to the underworld?" ”
Flower Candle looked at him puzzled.
"He killed people and stayed on earth for so long that he could not be reincarnated for at least eight hundred years, and it is not known which of the eighteen layers of hell he went to, but no matter which layer it was, it was torture, and the pain inflicted on the soul was ten times stronger than that on the body. It is better to endure 800 years like this, than to die happily. Xie Tianqing glanced at the Ghost King.
“…… Then you ask him. ”
Xie Tianqing's gaze turned to the ghost king's face: "If you want to die, blink, if you want to go to the underworld, don't blink." ”
The Ghost King was conscious at this time, and he tried to keep his eyes open without blinking.
Xie Tianqing was taken aback: "In that case, I'll send you to the underworld, don't regret it." ”
At this time, the ghost king blinked, probably nodding or something, and in this blink, a few drops of water flowed from the corners of his eyes, flowing down from his hideous face.
They sent the ghost king to the underworld, and what happened after that had nothing to do with them.
It was already six o'clock in the morning when I returned to the mortal world, and the sky was not yet bright, and the flowers and candles blown by the cold wind trembled and went straight to Xie Tianqing's arms.
Xie Tianqing didn't cover the flower candle as usual, but took him out of his arms, and the flower candle's paws hooked his clothes: "What are you doing!" ”
"You change back first, we have to go to the funeral home, where you can't bring cats." Xie Tianqing explained.
There was no way, Hua Zhu had to change into a human form again, and followed Xie Tianqing to the funeral home.
When I arrived at the funeral home, it was already about six o'clock in the morning and almost seven o'clock in the morning.
The mourning hall of the three girls happened to be in a funeral home, because strange things had been happening, so their family's funeral was never completed, and the mourning hall was placed like this, and the girls' mothers couldn't sleep well every night, so they simply stayed in the mourning hall to guard their daughters.
When they entered the mourning hall of one of the houses, the girl's mother had just woken up to offer incense to her daughter, and the candle next to her had not been lit, because it had not been lit before.
When the mother saw them walking in, she hurriedly stepped forward: "Master? How did you get here? Something can't be wrong, right? ”
"Did you still have a dream yesterday?" Xie Tianqing asked.
The girl's mother nodded, "Yes, she came to say goodbye to me...... and talked to me......" The girl's mother couldn't stop crying.
"That's good. Don't cry yet, can you call the other aunts over as well? Xie Tianqing spoke softly and patted his aunt's back to comfort him.
"Okay." She nodded and went to call the mothers of the other two girls.
After the three mothers arrived, Xie Tianqing walked to the front of the mourning hall and lit two candles, the candles flickered and reflected on the girl's black and white photo, and he could vaguely feel a sense of relief in the girl's smile in the photo.
They immediately wept silently, and Hua Zhu stood by helplessly and didn't know what to say.
"Auntie, your daughter has already gone to reincarnation, and she will go to a good family in her next life, in order to make your daughter feel at ease, don't be too sad." Xie Tianqing stepped forward.
The girl's mother wiped her tears: "I know...... I know ......"
After Xie Tianqing patted one of the mothers on the shoulder, he left the mourning hall with the flower candle.
Outside, funeral processions came in one after another, in stark contrast to them.
Hua Candle's hand was in his pocket, his nose was frozen red, and he sniffed: "Is what you just said true?" How do you know they're going to have a good baby? ”
Xie Tianqing continued to walk forward, the sun fell on his face, and he was slightly pale: "This is a matter for the underworld, I don't know." ”
"You're talking nonsense again." Hua Zhu reached out and rubbed his nose, his voice was a little tight, as if he was choked by something.
Xie Tianqing grabbed Hua Candle's hand and put his hand in his pocket: "Cat's paws are so cold." ”
"I'm a cat, so it's normal to be afraid of the cold." A gust of wind blew through Hua Candle's neck, and he shrank his neck in the cold.
"That's right." Xie Tianqing suddenly stopped, "There is no one here." ”
After Hua Candle looked around, he immediately turned into a cat and jumped into Xie Tianqing's arms, Xie Tianqing closed the zipper, and Hua Candle showed his head outside.
When driving, Hua Candle lay quietly on her stomach, half-squinting at the sun outside.
Although the sun at this time looks warm, it is like the illusion of a cold wind luring people out to be frozen, the sun has just shone a little warmer, and when the wind blows, it is even cooler than the original.
When they reached the intersection, they turned the corner and saw an old woman sitting outside the shop, as if basking in the sun, her eyes looking at the street, not knowing what to think.
Soon, the old man's son beckoned the old man into the house, but the old man shook his head and insisted on sitting there.
The old man's son sighed helplessly, and went back to get another piece of clothing for the old man.
The old man's wrinkled hand took out a photograph from his pocket, very old but well preserved, and the man in the photograph was very young, about twenty years old. The old man's thumb ran across the man's face and he sighed deeply.
When they got home, they were sleepy, and after taking a shower, they went to bed.
"I'm trapped." Flower Candle yawned and tugged at the quilt with her paws.
"Well, it's hard for me to have classes in the afternoon, hey......" Xie Tianqing picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and set the alarm clock by the way, "Race against time." Then he closed his eyes.
Hua Zhu half-squinted at Xie Tianqing's tired face, which reminded him of the first time he saw him.
Under the banyan tree, he also painted landscapes with a tired face......
By the time Hua Zhu woke up, Xie Tianqing had already gone to school, and he was the only one left in the room.
He used to be a frequent housekeeper, and he was used to it.
This time, Lu Qing learned to be smart, and he didn't directly control the ghost king but used his hair to control it, so even if he was discovered, there was nothing he could do.
But at least he knew that Lu Qing was collecting souls, and he was also a woman's soul. The female soul belongs to the yin, and there are indeed many uses. But Hua Zhu can be sure that Lu Qing must be planning some conspiracy.
And here's the problem...... Where did Lu Qing go?
Hua Candle sat cross-legged on the sofa, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and after thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and a life chart appeared in his hand.
This was given to him by Si Ming Xingjun when he was in the lower realm, saying that it could be used to find Lu Qing.
The order of the Three Realms that had been disrupted before had not been fully restored until now, and Si Ming was also very busy, so he could only rely on him to support himself.
The natal chart floated in front of him, he closed his eyes, and the immortal qi suddenly surrounded him, and the pointer on the natal chart instantly moved.
The hand turned a few times, and suddenly stopped in the southwest, and it felt very close.
Hua Zhu instantly opened her eyes and jumped up from the sofa and ran out of the house.
The cold wind outside blew through Hua Candle's hair, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold, but he still looked down at the horoscope and ran to the southwest.
In the crowd, he saw at a glance the man standing on the side of the road with black gas wrapped around his body, his face turned sideways.
Although he hadn't seen Lu Qing a few times, his appearance had always been engraved in Hua Candle's mind and he had never forgotten it.
Hua Zhu ran forward excitedly, and before he had run two steps, Lu Qing noticed Hua Zhu.
Lu Qing turned his face and pulled the corners of his mouth at Hua Candle, and took two steps back into the crowd.
"Stop! Don't run! Hua Zhu couldn't help shouting.
And as soon as he shouted like this, many people in the crowd looked at him.
Hua Zhu didn't care about them, his eyes stared at the back with black gas, and his nose was not idle, distinguishing this Lu Qing's breath among mortals.
