Chapter 44: The Demon Beast of the Town Temple
"Uh......h Woo......"
The moonlight was hazy, and with the crying of fierce ghosts coming from far and near, I saw a group of terrifying walking corpses staggering from the depths of the dark Lethe River beach!
Looking from a distance, I saw that there were about thirty or forty of these walking corpses, all of them in rags, and the skin and flesh on their bodies had already rotted, revealing the white bones inside.
The eyes of these walking corpses have long since lost their luster, and some of them don't even have eyeballs, leaving only black holes in their eye sockets.
The group of walking corpses howled with their yellow teeth as they slowly moved their rotting bodies towards the door of the ghost, dragging a long and terrifying shadow behind them.
When he got closer, Fan Tianjiu found that the bodies of the walking corpses had long since decayed, and there were still bloodstained thick hemp ropes.
At the other end of the thick hemp rope is a two-wheeled wooden cart, and on the two-wheeled cart is a pair of mottled and dilapidated mahogany coffins!
This turned out to be a group of coffins pulled by walking corpses!
"Heaven and earth are yin~!Filthy soil guests~!Xiangxi chases corpses~!Living people don't approach~!"
With a low cry of crying from the coffin, a tattered flag was raised by a walking corpse.
Then in the dim moonlight, I saw a stained word "Xiang" written on it, and under the guidance of this Hunan character banner, the walking corpse coffin team slowly marched to the front of the ghost gate.
"Damn——!"
As the smell of decaying corpses came, I saw that the impermanent freshmen who were originally guarding on both sides of the ghost gate saw this group of walking corpses coming to their eyes, and immediately screamed in fright, scattered in all directions, jumped into the haystack next to them, and peeked at this group of living dead in fear.
When I came to the ghost gate, I saw the walking corpse coffin team slowly separate, and from the team appeared a large red lacquer coffin with gold edges pulled by six walking corpses, which was different from other rotten wood black coffins.
I saw that this red lacquer coffin was pulled by the walking corpse to Mu Tiezhu, and then with a creak, the coffin lid of the red lacquer coffin slowly opened, and a bony white hand stretched out from it, waving at Mu Tiezhu in front of the ghost gate.
Seeing this, Mu Tiezhu hurriedly walked up, then lowered his head and looked into the red lacquered coffin, and said with a smile:
"Huh...... Captain Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, your corpse makeup is really getting better and better!"
"Hey, hey, hey......"
I saw bursts of cold laughter coming from the red lacquer coffin, and then, I saw that the pale hand stretched back, and then took out a box with a lace net pocket and a pink body from the coffin and handed it to Mu Tiezhu.
"Hahaha, what's the matter? Did Captain Chen bring me a greeting gift? It's so polite......"
Mu Tiezhu laughed out loud when he saw this, and hurriedly reached out and took the box.
But when he opened the powder box and looked at it, he suddenly frowned, and complained to the red lacquer coffin:
"Ouch~ Why is it cosmetics again?!Captain Chen, didn't I tell you? I'm a rough old man, I don't need these things!"
"Uh......h Woo......"
Hearing Mu Tiezhu say this, he saw a whimper in the red paint, and the miserable white finger outside the outstretched coffin pointed to the makeup box, and then gave Mu Tiezhu a thumbs up.
"Ah, Captain Chen, you mean that this set of cosmetics is a famous brand and very valuable, right?"
Seeing this, Mu Tiezhu immediately sighed, looked at the red lacquer coffin and exclaimed:
"Hey~ Captain Chen, no wonder Teacher Zi Youyi always said that you are the most tasteful and delicate man in all the impermanence captains of the branch.
It's so different from us greasy uncles!
Okay! In that case, then I'll accept this greeting gift! When I turn around, I'll send it to Captain Ji and Teacher Zi Youyi, they should like it. I'll take them here first, thank you. ”
Speaking of this, I saw Mu Tiezhu put away the cosmetics, then stretched out his hand and patted the red lacquer coffin, and said to the inside:
"Okay, Captain Chen, the Yizhuang on the street has been cleaned up, you can lead the team over to rest first, if there is anything, let's talk about it later!"
But there is one thing...... That is, please strengthen your guarding, don't just let these 'weapons' of yours out and run around, they will really scare others!"
"Woo woo woo ......"
I heard a whimper from the red lacquer coffin again, and then the pale hand slowly withdrew into the red lacquer coffin.
And immediately after, the entire corpse coffin team moved again, slowly passed through the ghost gate, and walked towards Nai He Street step by step.
"Oh my god, it's scary!"
Seeing that the Xiangxi corpse team was walking away, Fan Tianjiu jumped out of the grass next to him, leaned into Mu Tiezhu's ear and muttered.
"The Xiangxi branch is good at raising ghosts and controlling corpses, and the 'fighting corpses' they refine are famous all over the world.
To be honest, although their Xiangxi branch is a bit weird, they are actually quite good.
Especially the captain of the corpse brigade, although he is a bit of a sissy, he is really a warm-hearted and good person.
But unfortunately, the smell of corpses on their bodies is too strong. So after so many years, no matter how enthusiastic they are to talk to other branches, they still don't like to contact them very much.
Tsk, it's really hot face to cold ass, good people don't have a good life......"
Hearing this, Mu Tiezhu looked at the walking corpse team in the distance and sighed.
"Oh my god! Playing with corpses...... It's strange that others will take care of them!"
Fan Tianjiu said sarcastically with a disgusting expression on his face.
"Okay, you kid don't talk nonsense, it's over here, assign a task to the two of you......"
Speaking of this, I saw Mu Tiezhu throw the cosmetics in his hand into Fan Tianjiu's arms, and then said to Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an:
“...... You two send this vanity case to Captain Ji, and then go back to the dormitory to rest!
After speaking, Mu Tiezhu turned around and led the other freshmen to leave in great stride......
..................
When the sun was in the sky, I saw Fan Tianjiu carrying the makeup box with the Zhenkun Divine Funeral Stick, while following Si Bi'an along the flower road on the other side, towards the Jizowang Temple in the middle of the Ghost King's Mausoleum.
"Brother Jiu, why are you carrying the makeup box with a stick? Isn't it good to hold it? It's so tiring!"
As he walked, Si Bi'an looked up at the vanity box that Fan Tianjiu tied to the head of the stick and said.
"Hmph, I don't want to touch anything that the living dead have touched......"
Fan Tianjiu grinned disgustingly when he heard this. Then he rolled his eyes, turned his head and smiled at Si Bi'an as he walked:
"Hehe, Anzi, although these guys from other schools who greeted me today are quite weird, but when I think about it, they are actually quite funny.
Now I'm getting more and more interested in the Ghost King Competition, so I'm wondering if we freshmen can also form a team to participate.
Even if we don't win the championship in the end, we can go up and have fun! ”
"Hey~ Brother Jiu, you can really join in the fun......"
Si Bi'an smiled bitterly when he heard this, then sighed and said:
“...... But I'm afraid not, Brother Jiu, I heard Sister Lan say that there are requirements for the contestants in this ghost king competition, and they must be squadron leaders with more than two bars to sign up.
But we freshmen don't even have a bar, and we don't even have the qualifications to sign up for the competition. ”
"What? Is there any such rule? ——! it's boring!"
Fan Tianjiu pursed his lips disdainfully and complained when he heard this.
Then Fan Tianjiu looked back and looked forward, only to see that in front of the Jizowang Temple not far away, a white figure was holding a thick book, pushing open the temple door and walking out.
Fan Tianjiu looked at it fixedly, and immediately shouted:
"Huh, isn't that Sister Lan? Sister Lan ——!"
With a shout, I saw Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an walking quickly in front of the Jizowang Temple, stopped Ji Xuelan, and said to her:
"Whew...... Sister Lan, it's such a coincidence, we were just looking for you, and we ran into ...... here."
Speaking of this, I saw Si Bi'an reach out and take off Fan Tianjiu's makeup box, stretched out his hand to hand her and smiled:
“...... Sister Lan, this is a welcome gift from the captain of the Xiangxi Branch. ”
"Oh, yes, yes? Thanks, thanks......"
For some reason, Ji Xuelan's expression became a little flustered when she saw the two Fan Si who suddenly appeared, and her speech was a little stumbling.
Seeing Si Bi'an handing over the things, Ji Xuelan hurriedly hugged the thick book in her arms while struggling to free up her hand to pick it up.
Seeing this, Fan Tianjiu smiled slightly, and while stretching out his hand to pick up the book in Ji Xuelan's arms, he said:
"Hehe, Sister Lan, look at you tired! Come on, I'll help you hold this book. ”
"No——! no——! no, I'll just take the book myself——!"
As soon as she heard that Fan Tianjiu wanted to help move the book, Ji Xuelan's face immediately changed greatly, and she hurriedly hugged the thick book in her arms tighter, and at the same time refused loudly.
Ji Xuelan's fierce reaction immediately confused Fan Tianjiu.
Then, I saw Fan Tianjiu stunned and looked at Ji Xuelan, who was full of nervousness in front of him, and smiled inexplicably:
"Hehe, Sister Lan, I'm helping you move your books, not snatching your books!
"Ahem, no, no, no, I'd better move this book myself. I've accepted the gift, and if you're all right, leave ...... first."
"Whew......"
Before Ji Xuelan's words were finished, she heard the low roar of beasts suddenly sounding around her.
"Huh, what's the movement?"
Hearing this, Fan Si and the others looked up curiously, and were immediately shocked-
I saw that the two stone statues of demon beasts that were originally standing next to Jizowang Temple came to life with blue eyes at some point! They were twisting their heads and looking at the three people in the middle of the temple gate with a fierce light on their faces.
"I wiped ——?! how did these two stone statues live?!"
Looking at the two stone statues of demon beasts that were suddenly resurrected, Fan Tianjiu suddenly exclaimed.
"Shameless Xiaoxiao ~ Stealing Temple Treasures ~ Listening to the Corpse Meal ~ Ordered to Punish the Demon——!!
I saw that the demon beast located on the left side of the Jizo King Temple recited two sentences of law, and then its eyes bloomed, and it jumped up from the stone seat with a loud roar, and swooped towards Ji Xuelan in front of him.
"Ah...... Ah......h
For some reason, Ji Xuelan, who was experienced in combat, was unusually this time, and in the face of the oncoming Zhensi Demon Beast, she didn't fight back, but was stunned by her pale face
I saw her holding a book, looking at the attacking murderer in horror, stammering and muttering, but she couldn't move.
"Sister Lan, be careful——!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Tianjiu immediately screamed and rushed towards Ji Xuelan——!
"Whew——!"
The monster screamed and flew to the ground, but when the dust settled, it found that there was nothing under its claws.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem...... It's dangerous, it's dangerous, thanks to Lao Tzu's quick movements. ”
With a coughing sound, I saw that in the lawn not far away, Fan Tianjiu pushed away Ji Xuelan in his arms, stretched out his hand to fan the dust in front of him, and slowly stood up from the ground.
Then, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn his head to look at Ji Xuelan, who was lying on the ground behind him, and wondered:
"Sister Lan, what's going on? Why were you in a daze just now? Do you know how dangerous it is to do that?"
"I, I, that ......"
Hearing Fan Tianjiu's question, Ji Xuelan didn't know how to answer, so she had to look at Fan Tianjiu with a frightened face and stammered.
"Woohoo——! woohoo——!"
And before Ji Xuelan could say it clearly, she saw that the demon beast of the Zhensi Temple that missed the blow was suddenly furious, scratching the turf with its claws and roaring at Fan Tianjiu, making a posture of attack ready to attack.
"Hmph, forget it, I'll talk about it later, I have to take care of this guy first......"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn around, staring at the Zhenkun Demon Beast in front of him with his eyebrows tightly locked, and shook the Zhenkun Divine Mourning Stick in his hand vigorously.
So I only heard a snap, and a green lightning instantly covered the entire body of the Divine Mourning Stick.
Then, I saw Fan Tianjiu slowly raise the thunder-entangled Zhenkun Divine Mourning Stick in his hand against the Zhensi Demon Beast, and grinned:
"Come on, you biting janitor dog, let the ninth master teach you what the house rules are today......"
