Chapter 44: Half Sea, Half Fire
The night is lonely, the dark sky is quiet and silent, and the ink clouds around Qingyuan Temple are dozens of miles, as if the mountain rain is coming.
Under the cloister, a lamp is like a bean, the clear and beautiful back stands in a pavilion, playing with the red candle, from time to time there is a crackling sound of the flame jumping, the candlelight shakes gently, the back of the beauty is slender, and the elongated shadow is like the swaying candlelight, unpredictable.
Plop, flutter, a strange-looking, crow-like cat bird suddenly fell, two melon seeds on the handrail of the porch, holding a big head that does not match the body shape, scanning left and right.
"How?"
The beauty turned around, her face was clear, it was Luo Mingya who had tested Zhang Yu, and at this time she was talking to the strange bird beside her with a calm face.
"Truly, truly. "The strange bird's beak made an unpleasant cry, like the whimper of the dullest knife scraping a millstone, and it was very hoarse and unpleasant.
The strange bird glanced left and right, and his eyes showed a bit of human thought, and his eyes rolled back and forth.
Hearing Luo Mingya's question, he raised his head, opened his lips, and said in a low voice: "Li Sheng has already entered, and Xu Jin in the world has already sent a big gift, and the cow ghosts and snake gods near the border city, there are many hundred-year-old ghosts with names and surnames, and they are celebrating in the hall." ”
"Oh, it's close to Halloween, and the guys in the neighborhood are not willing to be lonely, do you want to use Lisheng to climb the high branches of the ghost cave?" Luo Mingya sneered a little when she heard this, full of disdain.
"The yin cha you said is here too!" the strange bird spread its wings, but there was not a single hair on it, and it fluttered and shook its body.
Luo Mingya's eyes lit up, flashing with essence, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Oh?"
The strange bird raised his head high, revealing a kind of disdain, his eyes mocked, and said: "You said that he was yin, why didn't I see it, the rumors of the closed door of the underworld have been circulating for hundreds of thousands of years, where in the world will there be an orthodox yin walking, do you see it?"
"Yes, that person's identity is mysterious, his origin is unknown, his cultivation is not shallow, and the relics are in his hands, and I almost planted them under him. ”
"What, that's true!"
The strange bird seemed to be shocked by Luo Mingya's news, and let out a strange cry in his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "When those two people entered the temple, I intentionally tried to test them, but I broke a few yin ghosts, and they are now being led by me to Chen Erniu's side." ”
Drooping his head, the strange bird hesitated on his face, and said, "If it is really as you said, I'm afraid that Chen Erniu's nest is already over." ”
Luo Mingya smiled and said, "It's over, it's over, just push it to Li Sheng, just say that Chen Erniu was eaten by him, see what the other old ghosts near the border city think." ”
"Ji Ji, it's still Miss Luo's intelligence, but Chen Erniu is a real hundred-year-old yin ghost anyway, in recent years, he has been yearning for the qi of Taoist cultivation, and the breath on his body is already pure, if that person fights with him, it is impossible not to have a little movement, and if it makes a big fuss, it will alarm Li Sheng, but I am afraid that the three guys will not be pleased!"
"At that time," the strange bird laughed twice, and said hoarsely: "No one in this Qingyuan Temple can call the shots, and we just happened to report the ghost cave." ”
Luo Mingya's eyes flashed, and she didn't answer, and then a maid suddenly floated in outside the door, with a little panic on her face, and when she saw the strange bird present, she hurriedly bowed and bowed, took two steps back, and stayed aside.
"What's the matter?" Luo Mingya knew that her henchman had always been steady, and she would not be so eager if there was no big thing, and now she was cooperating with this strange bird, and she didn't want to have a dislike, so she simply asked generously.
"Miss......" The maid hesitated, glanced at the strange bird, and did not answer.
Luo Mingya pretended to be colored, and said coldly: "What can't be said directly!"
The maid lowered her head and said, "There was news from outside the temple just now, and the wild ghosts who maintained the patrol suddenly lost their information, and the matter has been reported to King Li." ”
"What?"
Luo Mingya and the strange bird glanced at each other, a little surprised.
"And ......" The maid's face was excited, and she said: "The great array of living beings outside this Qingyuan Temple has been destroyed, and all the living souls and babies used to suppress it are gone!"
"Could it be that he is really the god of the underworld, a god who walks in the world?"
Luo Mingya, who was originally suspicious of Zhang Yu's identity and had a bit of a desire to make use of it, was completely shocked by the news brought by the maidservant girl at this moment, and only this thought came to mind.
And the initiator was at a loss to understand the conversation in the backyard, and at the moment he was shrinking in a corner of the lobby with a strange expression.
"One, two, three...... Eight!"
Zhang Yu was full of excitement, his eyes jumped, and he looked at the noisy old ghosts in the hall with enthusiasm.
There are so many old ghosts in a hundred-year-old condition alone, plus other ghosts, haha, Lao Tzu is going to send it!
Jiang Mingming glanced at his boss resentfully, honestly going in and out, messing with the ghosts in the alley, taking out their names and surnames, and counting the points like turnips by the way, to see how many heads there were, no, they were ghost heads.
To paraphrase Zhang Yu's words, these ghosts are full of experience points!
Although Jiang Mingsheng didn't understand his boss's words, this did not hinder Zhang Yu's enthusiasm, Zhang Yu shrank in the corner of the hall, a pair of thief eyes were shining, full of affection, and swept back and forth on the old ghosts.
Occasionally, the dead souls passing by him, when they met the gentle gaze, they all trembled in fright, and then jumped away, after all, the gentleness in Zhang Yu's eyes was like the attention of a lover in a honeymoon.
These days, there are really all kinds of ghosts.
Several ghosts commented on Zhang Yu, shook their heads and sighed and left.
"Adult, the number of small people is clear, not counting the hundred-year-old ghosts, the remaining little ghosts, no less than a hundred, big and small, if you count the people who gathered in Qingyuan Temple tonight, I'm afraid there are thousands!"
"There are so many, it really saves Lao Tzu's effort!" Zhang Yu's eyes jumped wildly, full of heat.
Jiang Mingsheng was frightened by the gaze of his boss, hurriedly took a step back, grabbed his scalp, and hesitated: "It's just that adults, there are too many ghosts, many of them are evil ghosts that are stuck in the world and do not go to reincarnation, and they are a little difficult to deal with." ”
Zhang Yu nodded, thinking about it too, in case he was killed if he caught the ghost and exposed his identity, he would not have such a good opportunity in the future.
"Well, old Jiang, what do you think?" Zhang Yu thought that maybe this little brother had a trick and asked.
"Well, my lord, there must be something strange about this matter when so many ghosts and monsters gather!"
Jiang Mingsheng saw the boss asking a plan, and immediately became energetic and analyzed.
"Fuck off, nonsense, don't talk useless, you think you're Li Yuanfang!" Zhang Yu scolded angrily.
"Why don't we report to Lord Chenghuang and ask Lord Chenghuang to make a decision and send more gangsters to arrest him?"
Jiang Mingsheng hesitated and said what was in his heart.
"You scared of death, what's the difference between this and calling the police when you're alive!" Zhang Yu scolded in his heart, this kid will report to Chenghuang at every turn when he encounters something, and report a fart!
"Don't worry, Lord Chenghuang knows about this matter, and later there will be Yin Monarchs from all walks of life, sending troops to arrest him. In desperation, Zhang Yu still had to comfort and persuade Jiang's reputation on the surface.
As soon as he heard that Lord Chenghuang Mansion knew about it and would send troops, he intuitively felt that with the government as a backer, Jiang Mingsheng was overjoyed, and said: "My lord, then we will wait." ”
Zhang Yu gave him a blank look, waiting for an egg.
Half seawater, half flames, Zhang Yu has never been like now, suffering from gains and losses.
