Chapter 52 The Duty is Incumbent
Under the nine shadows, the underworld.
The bull's head is in front, the horse's face is behind, and black and white impermanence is divided on both sides of the team.
It was a group of newly dead souls, all but a few of whom had yet to emerge from the shadow of death.
Fear, anger, helplessness, worry... You can find all the negative emotions of human beings on the faces of these people.
Of course, there are also a few arrogant and ignorant people who will make a big deal of nonsense here.
I saw a young ghost with a hole in his head shouting in the ranks.
"Did the one with the horse's face hear it, and didn't let Young Master Ben go?"
"I tell you, my father is a great official who can reach the heavens, and if he knows that I am dead, you will not let me go back to the yang world."
"Be careful, he gives you a copy of the ginseng for Lord Yama."
Hey, big filial son.
Do you want your dad to come down too?
A certain kid shouldn't be like that.
A big man in the team who has a particularly prominent system is thinking there.
"Eh, I said you guys don't keep talking, if you hadn't invited Young Master Ben to go hunting in Cangshan, you wouldn't have met that damn thief."
Point Cangshan?
Thieves?
Dahan heard these two words keenly.
Just as he turned his attention to the past, wanting to hear more.
But I only heard a scream.
Holding a long whip, the horse flicked it at the broken head of the dead soul from afar.
I saw that the soul of the dead had been struck hard, and the whole person was curled up in pain.
The big man's mind moved, slowed down, came to the ghost's side, and helped him up.
Seeing this, the horse raised his hand again, but for some reason it didn't fall, and after looking at the big man a few more times, he quietly put it down.
"This brother, why bother, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses."
The big man picked up the young man and persuaded him softly.
"Hey, it hurts."
The young man slowed down for a moment before he stood up.
"After my father joins you, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant." The young man looked up and down again at the big man who had helped him up. "I think you are a good material, follow this young master, as long as you can go back to the yang world to eat and drink spicy food."
Dahan tried hard to hold back the swear words before he asked.
"I heard what you said about Cangshan, what are the thieves. Can you elaborate on that? ”
The young man didn't care, frowning and thinking about it.
"It's all to blame for those idiots, who invited me to go hunting in Diancang Mountain, but I didn't know that there was a gang of powerful thieves on Diancang Mountain, called Heifeng Village."
"I heard that there are monsters inside, and they are looting everywhere in the mountains, and many villages inside have suffered disasters, and they are angry..."
The young man was still talking in detail, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Eh, what about people?"
......
At the foot of Diancang Mountain, an unnamed village.
A Taoist approached on a donkey.
Suddenly, an old voice came from afar.
"Eh, that Taoist priest, let's go, it's not a good place to go any further."
The Taoist priest followed the sound and saw that it was a gray-haired old man, sitting on a rattan chair under the tree and squinting and resting.
"Boom."
The Taoist priest instructed the donkey to approach, then dismounted the donkey and walked to the old man.
"Uncle, why is that? Can you solve the puzzle of the poor road? ”
The old man opened his eyes, looked the Taoist priest up and down, and then sighed.
"At this point, there is a gang of evil bandits on the mountain, killing people and slaughtering villages, and doing all the bad things." As he spoke, the old man was so angry that he patted his chest and coughed, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the village.
"Ah, the people of our village have already run away."
"All gone? Then why are you, old man? ”
The Taoist priest asked suspiciously
"I can't bear it." The old man's eyes were full of nostalgia when he looked at this land.
"I've lived here all my life, the thief is coming, it's a big deal, I'm going to die, just go down to find the old woman as a companion."
"I happen to see my wife a lot lately, she died early, and she misses me..."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes slowly closed, and he lowered his head, but he fell asleep.
Then a pair of rough hands reached out from behind the old man's back, lifted the old man's head, and slowly leaned back on the back of the chair.
"The Taoist chief smiled, Xianggong's neck is not good, sleeping like this, I'm afraid that I will cry out in pain when I wake up."
This is a rather neat-looking woman, looking at the old man with a look of pity in her eyes.
Li Jiu'an smiled, looked at the woman twice, and then led the donkey to the village.
"Dao Chief, can you go to the ancestral hall to see, a strong man has come in the past two days and occupied the place, if you don't drive him away, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days."
Within a few steps, a woman's plea came from behind him.
Li Jiuan didn't look back, waved his hand, and it was a response.
......
It's night, the ancestral hall of the nameless village.
Li Jiuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the lobby.
With his sword on his lap, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking about how to deal with the strongman for a moment.
According to the woman, this strongman should also be a first-class lonely soul and wild ghost, but instead of harming people to replenish her essence, he robbed her of incense, which is quite a bit of conscience, and he will not kill it directly when he waits, and he will exceed it if he can.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose in the ancestral hall where the doors and windows were closed for no reason, and the extinguished candles gasped by themselves, and the faint green light flickered.
Li Jiuan opened his eyes with an awe-inspiring gaze.
This is coming.
"Bang."
The door of the ancestral hall was opened as if it had been hit hard.
Li Jiuan held the sword in his hand, and the blue light was already shining on the sword.
It's just that in the next second, after seeing the person clearly, Li Jiuan couldn't help but exclaim.
......
"Brother Xu, so you escaped from the underworld?"
The Taoist priest scattered his supernatural powers, and looked at Xu Mo with a surprised expression.
"Exactly. It's a shame to say that after running for four or five days, I really couldn't hold on, so I had no choice but to add one or two here. ”
Xu Mo explained with a smile, after all, it is not a glorious thing to occupy the land where others eat.
Li Jiuan looked at Xu Mo's swaying posture and knew that what he said was right.
Lonely souls and wild ghosts that have no place to live will not exist for long, and when their own qi dissipates, that is the day when their souls will be scattered.
However, if you escape from the underworld, once you are caught, there will only be one end for your soul.
Li Jiuan thought of this, his expression was grim, he walked to the door and looked out, and posted a yellow talisman.
"Brother Xu, what is the important thing to take such a risk."
Xu Mo's expression suddenly became solemn, his hands clenched into fists, and he bowed to the end.
"A certain family is in danger, please go into the mountain with me, save people, and kill thieves!"
Yes, the old man said before that there was a group of thieves in the mountain, and Xu Mo's family was also in the mountain.
In this way, the Taoist priest also looked solemn and said.
"It's incumbent!"
Then Li Jiuan groped around his body for a while, took out a small wine jug, and said helplessly to Xu Mo.
"I'm just going to grieve Brother Xu."
This sake jug was taken when I was drinking in Jeju County before, and I have been keeping it on my body ever since.
Xu Mo didn't talk nonsense, just drilled into the wine jug, and turned into a puff of green smoke and drilled in.
Then a buzz came out of it.
"Dao Chief, the taste of this wine is too bad, next time I go to the ghost market, I will invite you to drink good wine."
