Chapter 7: The Night Sea is Like a Tide
The night sea is like a tide.
The dim night of the stars and moon is like a heavy curtain covering layer by layer, the darkness seems to be condensed into substance, reaching out to touch it as if in the waves, bringing up the slightest ripples, this thickness makes people almost suffocated, the darkness is like waves of the sea, the whole world seems to be swallowed by this boundless darkness, leaving only the brightly lit Yishui City, inside and outside the city wall, day and night.
Yishui City is not curfew, so the lights are bright, lively and extraordinary, the night is full of lights in the city, the high and thick city walls are resisted outside, the city is full of people, the wine shop and the restaurant have not been peaceful, the night hawkers shout loudly, the knee-high children laugh loudly, a prosperous scene.
Mo Ling looked at the city full of popularity under his feet, Li Dazhi's mansion was full of lights, servants served left and right, officials patrolled the surroundings, the walls of the tall courtyard were majestic, and a large number of talismans were burned on it, shining brightly, like a shrine in the dark.
"With such an arrangement, even the ghosts will never be able to enter the house. β
Mo Ling looked at everything under his feet with confidence, Mo Li followed behind him and looked at the bustling city under his feet with envy, and watched the young children happily holding rock sugar gourds to visit the night market with their parents, his eyes were a little lonely.
Mo Ling looked at Mo Li's eyes behind him, and his heart suddenly softened, this immortal is not happy everywhere, although there are no illnesses and worries, but he can't enjoy the fireworks of this mortal world, the joy of family, he can only guard the temple and watch the prosperity of the world.
"Alright, let's go down, we'll all stay here during this time, and there must be no ghosts coming tonight!"
Mo Ling reminded Mo Li slightly, Mo Li was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and quickly put away the loneliness in his eyes, and replaced them with smiling eyebrows:
"Yes, Childe, we're just..."
Mo Liyan suddenly froze on the spot in the middle of his speech, his eyes looked straight into the distance, Mo Ling followed his gaze, first stunned, and then his eyes were full of shock.
Sui River, one of the largest rivers in Shu County, floods every year, several drowning, every year in the flood season will kill 10,000 people along the coast, the government does not take care of it, the relief does not think about the victims, the people die unjustly, the corpses are stacked at the bottom of the Sui River, breeding endless ghosts, but how many ghosts are there but no one has ever counted, until today, Mo Ling is fortunate to see one or two!
The darkness rolled down like a tidal wave over the walls, and they overflowed the walls, and overflowed the houses, avoiding only the few streets that were full of people, and they were overwhelming, and any light that stood in front of them was crushed into smoke, and mortals saw the bone-scraping wind blow the night lamp, and the lanterns beat restlessly, and the candles in them were dimmed, and they almost wanted to be extinguished.
Looking closely, the black tide was all made of ghosts, endless grievances filled the sky, and the black clouds became lower and thicker, as if the ghost tide was overwhelming people from all over the city.
Mo Ling gasped, pulled Mo Li and flew down the mansion quickly, until the ghost sea traveled to the front of the house wall, and the evil spirit talisman shone all over the sky, burning the scorching sun of the near ghost into powder, and followed the south wind, and the wave of the ghost sea could stop the pace.
The officers who patrolled the wall only felt that the talisman was dancing in the wind, and they were all cold and cold, and they wanted to fall to the ground in the cold, and the lantern they were carrying was extinguished instantly, and only the dazzling fire was revealed from the courtyard wall.
The official messenger didn't know, outside the wall of the courtyard, the endless ghosts witnessed the lonely and widowed official messenger walking alone through the long road, the thin human fire was invincible, the monstrous cold, staying for a while was enough to freeze the three fires of the body, and was sucked up by the ghost and died, if it weren't for the luck of the imperial court, the official would have already been dead on the spot, just because this ghost was gone all over the city.
In the middle hall, Mo Li looked at Mo Ling with a blue face, and didn't know what to say, Mo Ling set off a monstrous wave, he was shocked by the number of ghosts, and even more shocked by the resentment cloud that had formed a substance in the sky, this river, it was close to the demon river.
The wailing of the sea of ghosts outside the wall did not stop for a moment, but it never stepped closer to the courtyard wall, blocked by the divine light, and everyone inside the wall only felt the slightest breeze blowing high above their heads, which was much better than the usual cold, and the lady felt more warm and comfortable in the house, and did not see any ghosts wandering, only felt at ease.
Li Dazhi, who was guarding beside him, looked at Lang Zhong's pulse with a smile on his face, and the boulder in his heart fell to the ground instantly, and tonight, he finally rested.
"Lang Zhong, how is my wife's fetal gas?"
"Master Li, just rest assured, Mrs. is recovering very well today, and if she sleeps so peacefully, she will not prescribe medicine, and the fetal gas is also stable, but you still need to be prepared, I think this fetal gas is stable, but it is very close to labor, and it is possible to give birth in a few days." β
Li Dazhi, who heard this, instantly raised his eyebrows, and a smile cracked on his old face:
"Okay, okay, my Li Dazhi finally has a queen, and my Li family finally has a queen. β
Li Dazhi laughed happily, and then commanded with joy in his eyes:
"Go, give Lang Zhong a reward of ten taels, well, and then go to the middle hall on the ten pillars of Hainan Buddha incense, be fast!"
The servant who was happy and low in the lord's happiness was naturally happy, and the entire Li family mansion was beaming, as if he had finally swept away the haze of the past few days, and privately praised Mo Ling's miracle.
Only Mo Ling stood in the middle hall like falling into an ice cave, Mo Ling looked at the happy people in the courtyard, but he took a deep breath, slowly flew towards the outside of the courtyard, and said to Mo Li:
"Wait for me here, and I'll go and find out what's beyond the walls. β
Mo Ling was surprised by the ghost sea outside the wall, and wanted to know why this ghost sea gathered so much here?
Mo Ling flew over the courtyard wall, his body exuded dazzling brilliance in this dark night, and countless wandering ghosts outside the wall watched Mo Ling come out, instantly agitated, and kept retreating, but there were also several evil ghosts and powerful ghosts standing in front of Mo Ling who were not afraid of Mo Ling.
These evil ghosts and powerful ghosts are not even afraid of Mo Ling in front of the self-proclaimed Yin God, although they dare not touch their divine brilliance now, they are not as afraid as other little ghosts.
Mo Lingfei looked at the ghosts below outside the wall, coughed slightly and asked:
"Why are you gathered here to harass the people?"
Several demons looked at each other a few times, and then said disdainfully:
"Of course it's a fetus, otherwise why are you staying here?"
"Then why are you here so much?"
"Nonsense, this woman doesn't know who she offended, she was extinguished by two human fires, giving us an opportunity, if it were ordinary people, they wouldn't have come so much, but... This is the son of the leader of the gentry and the gentry of Shu County, this kind of fetus can only be won by the people who have attained the Tao in the previous life, and even the half-dragon of the river, this kind of identity, born in troubled times, can become a hidden dragon to fight for the emperor, how can we not come?"
This evil ghost also explained the matter in detail, Mo Ling didn't expect Li Dazhi's net worth to be so valuable, but he also understood why Li Dazhi's family would have so many ghosts, it is said that Li Dazhi's ability is enough to gather enough popularity to fight against ghosts, but he still can't keep his wife's fetal qi, but now he knows that it is because there are too many ghosts, and even flooded the city.
There are so many ghosts, not to mention Mo Ling, even the land and mountain gods are difficult to parry, it is easy to do without giving birth today, if you wait until that day to give birth, Mo Ling still has to block the ghosts all over the city, and it will definitely be torn into powder.
Mo Ling stopped talking, the ghosts looked at it for a while, and looked at the signs of no birth today, and began to slowly dissipate, after all, this city is very popular, and it is really hurtful for the ghosts to stay here for a long time.
"Immortal, let's leave for the time being today, come back tomorrow, give you a day to leave, if you dare to stop me from waiting for reincarnation, then be careful of the Tao you have cultivated with great difficulty. β
A few evil ghosts dropped a cruel word and slowly left with the sea of ghosts, just like the turbulent arrogance when they came, and like a river and sea when they went, it was mighty, leaving Mo Ling alone to stand in place and not make any thoughts.
Nothing to say all night...
Li Dazhi, who had slept peacefully, got up refreshed, and inquired and learned that his wife also slept very peacefully last night, and he was even happier after eating three bowls of porridge today, and he wanted to visit his child, but after thinking about it, he turned to the middle hall, Mo Ling's idol was still placed on the big table, and the servants who took care of it trembled, and the situation last night made them extremely shocked, and the cold and haunted for many days were actually solved on the same day after welcoming back the immortals, and the servants were of course waiting for Mo Ling's idol with 120,000 points of spiritγ
Li Dazhi came to the middle hall and took out three good incense sticks to offer, Mo Ling could feel that Li Dazhi's incense was thicker than the day before yesterday, and he must have been a little more pious.
"Thank you for the help of the gods, the gods rest assured, after my wife successfully gives birth to a son, she will definitely build a temple for the gods and seek canonization. β
After worshipping Mo Ling, Li Dazhi then rushed to visit the child he was about to give birth to, and Mo Ling sat on the seat in the middle hall and looked at Li Dazhi who was going away expressionlessly, Li Dazhi's conditions were too tempting for Mo Ling, although the ghost sea last night was terrifying, but Mo Ling was difficult to make a decision for a while, and he didn't know whether he should leave or not.
Mo Li stood aside and looked at Mo Ling cautiously, the sea of ghosts last night gave Mo Li a lot of fear, he never thought that the formation of ghosts and monsters would be like this after becoming a sea, Mo Ling glanced at Mo Li slightly, Mo Li turned his head and didn't dare to let Mo Ling see the fear in his eyes.
Mo Ling sighed slightly in his heart, this matter is indeed not easy to do.
Mo Ling also thought about letting go of the ghosts, anyway, Li Dazhi would not know that his child was robbed by other ghosts, but this is definitely not the solution, because there is only one child, and there are tens of thousands of ghosts, under the surging scramble, it is enough to exhaust the woman's popularity and directly force her to death, so if you want to do it, then there is no possibility of reconciliation for ghosts.
Mo Ling's face was grim, and what he was holding in his hand was the Fengshen Record that he couldn't put down, he looked at the surging power of incense in the Fengshen Record, the power of this incense was far beyond what Mo Ling's divine body could have, and he raised his head and looked at the closed door outside the middle hall, and his heart was a little turbulent.
"Mo Li, your son-in-law and I, I did it!"
Mo Ling's tone was resolute, Mo Li didn't dare to say more, just bowed his head to show obedience, Mo Ling looked at Zhao Donglai who was sleeping next to him, and a few colors flashed in his eyes.
"I don't know if I can do this talisman... Bigger?"
