Chapter I

Ghost King

――――――――

"Some grievances can't be resolved after a hundred years, or even a thousand years"

My name is Yu Dongliang, a native of the East China Sea, and my hometown was flooded when I was four years old. Forced to leave his home with his parents, his parents died of the plague while wandering. At that time, I was also terminally ill, and when I was about to close my eyes and never have to open them again, I met my master, a Taoist priest with a mission.

At that time, he was chasing a ghost king that he had been hunting for half his life, and met me on the way.

He said that when he saw me, the sky suddenly cleared after a long rain. Xindao: This may be a hint from God. He rescued me and took me to walk the rivers and lakes to continue to complete his mission.

I once asked him what kind of demon he was hunting.

He said he didn't know either.

I wondered

Later, I learned that he had hunted down all his life and had never seen the true face of the ghost king he said in his mouth. The appearance of the ghost king in his mouth was just from his own ancestor.

A ghost that he had never seen at all, or even didn't exist, why did he spend his whole life chasing down?

I don't understand, I don't understand

Later, I met my master's old friend, an ascetic. It was a strange old monk, and the monks always said that they wanted to have six major emptiness, and they wanted to borrow seven emotions and six desires. But he was the only monk I had ever seen who loved to cry the most. His crying sometimes leaves me speechless:

When he sees someone selling a child, he will cry; When he sees someone die, he weeps; Seeing someone sick can't be cured. He also cries

I really don't understand this monk, like you. How to become a Buddha. I don't think the Buddha would like a monk who cries his nose like him to be a Dharma protector or an arhat or something.

But it's such a group of people who have done great things that I have admired all my life.

That was when we passed by Linjiang City. A Western priest found the master and the ascetic who had settled down at the Linjiang City Inn, as well as my junior brother.

Speaking of my junior brother, he is very smart, and many times I think that he should not be a Taoist priest, he should go to the examination to gain fame. With his intelligence and talent, there is absolutely no problem in taking the top prize, but it is a pity that he is only willing to be a Taoist priest and a monk.

It was such a group of people with very different personalities who got together and were invited by Father Shekel. We joined the fight to crush that demon.

The purpose is not to help the so-called landlord Lao Cai's Su family, but the friendship between Father Shekel and my master, and the so-called demon subjugation and demon eradication are what monks like us should do.

But all the ends will deteriorate, and I especially like that our goals are as simple as I thought at the beginning, so that my master will not be desperate to do it. But by the time my master saw the demon, his purpose was not just to help Father Shekel, it was not just to slay demons

"Ghost King, you are the ghost king who robbed relatives back then?"

Master looked at the demon in shock, I couldn't imagine how he recognized the demon as the ghost king he had been chasing for half his life. Perhaps this is the so-called ability to achieve cultivation after reaching a certain level

Depending on the breath, even if the face changes. You can also tell the true identity of the other party.

In this way, the master and his old man fought desperately with the ghost king. The end result was that his old man died, and he was planted with my brother and Father Shekel at the time.

This sacrifice is indeed too great

Although the Ghost King was finally sealed by us. But I did not have the joy of victory after the battle. On the contrary, there is an inexplicable sense of emptiness. Especially when looking at the remains of my master and brother on the ground

I buried them, and I felt the feeling of parting from life and death again. When I was young, my parents left. That feeling wasn't particularly noticeable to me. But when I watched the master who raised me, and the junior brother who got along day and night left me. This is the first time I've felt how uncomfortable this thing is

Afterwards, Father Thomas remained in the church to guard the Ghost King Seal. And I left with the dervishes. Travel

Every day, listening to the old monk chanting sutras, and then going to Pudu sentient beings, I tried to escape several times and parted ways with him, but I always met him again at the next corner. I knew that this was the difference in strength, and then I gave up and studied with the old monk for a while. It wasn't until the old monk watched the sky that night that he said: "The microstar is falling in the west, we have to go back to Linjiang City to take a look!" ”

Even I felt uneasy. With that uneasiness, we went back

The originally prosperous Linjiang City is gone.

What I saw was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and I saw a fierce person standing in the midst of that mountain of corpses and blood.

Angry, I rushed over, but after all, I was defeated by the other party and let the other party escape.

The old monk said: "He is not the murderer who caused this scene in Linjiang City!" ”

The real murderer is the war

I admit that although he is not the murderer who caused the prosperity of Linjiang City to be destroyed, he is the murderer who loosened the seal. The Japanese soldiers in the city who were slaughtered by him eventually became the best sacrifice that the Ghost King absorbed in the seal

The seal is loosened, and the Ghost King tries to break it.

The old monk and Father Thomas, who had only half a breath left at the time, sacrificed themselves in this way to strengthen the seal.

The Ghost King was sealed again, but I who survived at the time knew that he had created an illusion in it, a particularly powerful illusion, as long as he didn't get rid of him, he would sooner or later regain the strength to break the seal again.

At that time, who will be able to stop him

I was going to leave, but I hesitated as I looked at the child I had rescued from the church in my arms.

I'm going to have to wait until this kid grows up before I leave, do I?

But who would have thought that I would stay here for decades. Watch that child grow up, watch that child start a family, have children. and watched his son grow up, and watched his grandson grow up

Until the seal is broken.

Only then did I understand why I didn't leave at the beginning, and I probably became a person who didn't know why like Master!

I just hid in the corner of the church, guarding the seal for decades.

Until that day, the young man I had seen slaughtering the Japanese reappeared in front of me.

Only then did I realize that everything has to have a result, but we don't know who controls that outcome, and we don't know who will end it all (to be continued). )
