During the Qingming season, the entire mortal world was shrouded in a gentle drizzle. It was just past evening, and there weren't many people on the streets.

Qin Gang, who was dressed in a crescent-colored dress, held a lotus petal and flew in the air against the wind, like a butterfly lost in the night.

No sooner had she skimmed the street than she was followed by a green-faced and fanged spirit. It roared with its mace, its murderous face flashing as if it were about to tear her apart on the spot.

Flying all the way to the cemetery outside Qizhou City, I saw a dim lotus lantern floating in the air, which was the entrance to the Valley of the Ghost King.

Every year on the Qingming Festival, the ghost king will hold a banquet. From January to February, the Ghost King will scatter dozens of specially made lotus petals into the Demon Realm, and anyone who can grab them will be eligible to participate in the banquet.

The feast begins with a spell contest in which the winner asks the Ghost King three questions or receives a treasure. The Ghost King is independent of the Three Realms, controlling all the evil spirits in the Three Realms, and the information has always been the most complete, and the treasures in his hands are also coveted by many evil spirits.

In order to participate in this gathering, many evil spirits often fight in the demon world for the few lotus petals.

As an immortal, Qin Gang is not qualified to enter the Demon Realm. So she deliberately waited in Qizhou City, and when she saw the evil spirit carrying lotus petals, she went up to snatch it.

She slowly landed on a tombstone, and saw the blue-faced and fanged evil spirit chasing after her.

He slung his mace to his shoulder, panting in anger as the rain evaporated as it approached him. He stretched out his hand to Qin Gang and said coldly: "If you know each other, hand over the petals, otherwise your soul will definitely be scattered." ”

Qin Gengxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little disdainful.

Annoyed by the provocation, the evil spirit picked up his mace and smashed it. Qin Geng's feet flew up lightly, and then he bit his finger and drew a magic circle in the air.

The circle swirled with bits of light, wrapping around the evil spirit's body, and he couldn't move.

Qin Gang chuckled, took out a spirit rune and flew over, and said lightly: "Forget the resentment in the world and reincarnate." ”

The runes fell on the heads of the evil spirits, forming chains. The evil spirit burned with flames all over its body, and roared in pain. The chains tightened and tightened, and finally dissipated into green smoke, and the evil spirit turned into a small mass of souls and slowly rose into the sky.

Qin Gang clapped his hands in satisfaction and turned to leave.

In the green smoke, a small light fell on the tombstone where Qin Gang was standing. The earth of the tombstone moved, and then a sealed talisman opened. The faint light flickered, reflecting the three words "Chu Nanxing" on the tombstone.

Unconscious, Qin Gang walked to the grave where the lotus lantern was hanging and gently put the lotus petals into the lamp.

The lamp rotated, emitting a red glow. Immediately, a staircase appeared at the back of the tomb that spread into the air.

The entire staircase is no more than one person wide, and a lotus lantern is placed on each floor to illuminate the walking path. At the end of the stairs, there was a fiery red hall suspended in the air, and that was where the Ghost King held his banquet.

On the stairs, all kinds of evil spirits slowly ascended, all looking forward to gaining something at this banquet.

It was the first time for Qin Gang to come here, and he was inexplicably nervous.

She has died twice, and when she was kicked down to the Valley of Despair by a person who can't remember her face in her last life, she suddenly awakens and finds herself the heroine of a novel about cultivating immortals.

After being reborn, she began to observe the people around her, and only then did she realize that there were many awakened people in the book. After many inquiries, I learned that there are not only awakened people in the book, but also people who wear books. With the death of the heroine, a book wearer will be born.

By now, there should be three book wearers in the book, who can change the direction of the characters in the whole book, and even kill the protagonist to replace him.

Calculating that the plot will start tomorrow, she comes to the Ghost King's banquet, and is bound to ask the identities of the three book wearers, kick them out of the book, and maintain the peace of the whole book.

While thinking, Qin Gang came to the door of the main hall. In order to prevent being recognized as an immortal, she conjured a mask and put it on, hiding the immortal aura on her body before putting her hand on the door. Just then, she heard what appeared to be a fight behind her.

She turned her head suspiciously, a flash of red flashed in front of her eyes, and the door suddenly opened. She didn't even see what it was, she just felt that the power seemed to be very strong.

Thinking that it should be a more powerful evil spirit, he didn't pay much attention to it and entered the main hall.

The hall is divided into two floors, the first of which is a platform dedicated to the battle after the banquet begins. On the second floor, a row of seats was built around a railing for easy viewing.

Many evil spirits have already taken their seats, bustling with discussion about who will be the winner this time.

Qin Gang casually found a place to sit down, and smelled the aroma of peach blossoms coming from beside him. She turned her head slowly and saw a man in a red robe leaning on the table drinking tea.

He wore a white smiling mask on his face, and through the crooked holes in the mask, he could see that he had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, blinking slightly, as if a star would fall in.

Such a neat evil spirit, Qin Gang is the first time he has seen it.

The man in red felt her eyes and turned his head slightly to look at her. He seemed stunned, then nodded to her and looked away.

This man seems to have seen it somewhere.

Qin Gang secretly glanced at him a few times, and after making sure that he was not impressed, he shook his head and continued to drink tea with his head down.

In a few moments, all the seats were filled, and the doors of the main hall were completely closed. A faint figure walked to the screen on the second floor, sat down slowly, and held his head as if to observe everyone.

Although he couldn't see this person's face clearly, with the evil aura emanating from his body, Qin Gang deduced that this person must be the Ghost King.

The voices in the room gradually subsided, and the eyes of all the evil spirits looked over, their expressions respectful.

The ghost king behind the screen chuckled and said slowly: "The banquet begins, and if you want to get the qualifications or treasures to ask questions, you can go to the first floor to compete." ”

Before the words fell, many evil spirits that had long been unable to hold back flew down and began to fight.

The content of the battle every year is about the same, and the strength of these evil spirits is also very different, and the ghost king has no patience to watch. Through the shadow on the screen, he can be seen turning his teacup, as if hoping for the game to end soon.

Seeing that the evil spirits below didn't have much strength, Qin Gang was relieved. She flew down with one stride, and her snow-white figure shuttled between the evil spirits, like a ghostly butterfly.

She was originally the heroine of the book, and she learned a lot of spells by relying on the "protagonist's aura" before she died in her previous life, and she was simply handy for this kind of battle.

Those evil spirits didn't even have the ability to parry, so they were carried and thrown out by her.

The Ghost King put down the teacup in his hand, straightened up and looked down.

I saw that Qin Gang pinched the trick and drew a formation in one go, and his posture of dodging the attack of the evil spirit was like dancing. Some of the evil spirits were so stunned that they were thrown out before they even had time to defend themselves.

After all the evil spirits were knocked to the ground, she scanned the second floor triumphantly, and said loudly: "If no one challenges it, it will be a victory!" ”

All the evil spirits had already seen her strength, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to fight again.

Just when Qin Gang thought that he could get information, suddenly a touch of red crossed in front of his eyes. She subconsciously took a step back, and saw the man in red who was drinking tea by himself, standing opposite him.

His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and then he motioned for Qin Gang to make a move.

She was not polite, biting her fingers and drawing a magic circle in the air, pinching the trick to attack. The magic circle rotated, and the spiritual power condensed into silver needles and flew over densely.

The man in red kept smiling, clasped his hands together, and fiery red manzhu sawa suddenly bloomed around his body.

Before the silver needle could get closer, Manju Sawa shook and broke open her circle.

The huge evil qi struck like a tornado, and Qin Gang took two steps back, but he still didn't dodge. The evil qi instantly wrapped around her body, and a long sword with condensed evil qi rested on her neck.

His movements were so fast that Qin Gang didn't even see how he made his moves.

"That's good." Onimaru stood up from behind the screen and gently slapped his palm twice.

The man in red put away his long sword and turned his head to salute the ghost king respectfully.

There was thunderous applause around, and they were all impressed by the wonderful battle between the two of them. Some are even talking about which woods these two people are.

Qin Gang reluctantly returned to his seat, turning the teacup and sighing depressedly.

The Ghost King highly praised the performance of the man in red, and then said, "Do you want to ask questions now, or do you want to get a treasure from the Ghost King Valley?" ”

"Ask questions." The man in red said without hesitation.

The Ghost King changed the direction of his face and said, "Say it, Demon Venerable." ”

When asking questions, the Ghost King usually sets up an enchantment to cut off the hearing of other evil spirits. There was no problem in the Three Realms that he didn't know, and through Fang Cai's battle, he had already determined that the identity of the man in red was the Demon Venerable.

Qin Gang was an immortal, and spells didn't work against her, so the conversation between the two still drifted into her ears.

There are only a few words about the Demon Venerable in the novel, and it is said that his real name is Chu Nanxing, and he was sealed by the Emperor of the Immortal World. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, wondering how he had broken the seal.

Chu Nanxing pondered for a while and said, "First question, what should I do if I don't have a plot in the book?" ”

The Ghost King pinched his fingers and said, "You don't have much plot in this book, but now that you have broken the seal, you can fight for it." ”

It turned out to be another awakened one.

Qin Gang secretly observed him, thinking that he would leave the main hall for a while and be close to him.

He asked, "How do you get rid of the plot in the book and live forever?" ”

"Walking through the plot of the whole book, there is only one traverser left in the book." Ghost King Road.

After thinking about it carefully, Chu Nanxing slowly raised his head and asked solemnly, "Last question, how many traversers are there in this book?" ”

This is also what Qin Gang wants to know.

Her nervous fingers rubbed the edge of the cup, but she inadvertently met Chu Nanxing's gaze. She bowed her head weakly and pricked up her ears to listen.

The Ghost King paused slightly, and after counting his fingers a few times, he said, "Plus you, there are three in total." ”

？？？

Qin Gang almost squirted out a sip of tea, looking at Chu Nanxing, who lowered his head slightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

This guy is actually a traverser?!
