Chapter 3: The Ghost Clan

This ghost must also realize that there is something wrong with his actions, the outstretched hand stagnates in mid-air and does not stretch forward, under the dim and dim lantern light, his eyes are firmly fixed on me, through his face full of hair, I actually feel the apology from him, his eyes that are integrated with the night darkness seem to be able to speak, it is telling me, because of the rude behavior just now, he feels very guilty in his heart.

Thinking that he is a god in the world, and no one has made friends in the past who has passed away for some reason, and after his death, he will come to this netherworld to suffer crimes, so he guessed that he was afraid that he was similar to the old friend who the little ghost in front of him knew in the world, and he recognized the wrong person, and said to him: "This, this, this son is still a young lady, what is the matter with calling me?" Thinking that although the popularity of the god is broad, he has never had any contact with the underworld, and quickly explained to him: "I, I have never met you, should you be the wrong person...... Hell, huh?"

"No, it's not. The ghost in front of him, whose face was not clear and could not distinguish whether it was a man or a woman from his voice, bowed his head again and said, "Girl, don't panic, I, I'm not disgusting. As he spoke, perhaps in order to show that he was really not disgusting, he took two steps back, and said in his hoarse and low voice: "Xiao Sheng saw the girl's face, and the yin qi on his body was very shallow, and he thought that the girl had just passed away. ”

"Passed away?" It turned out that he just thought that he had met a companion, so he followed me closely, so I thought that he found out that he did not belong here, and wanted to threaten himself with this, I asked him, "Yes, is there something wrong with you?"

"Yes, yes. ”

When he heard this, he became a little excited, and his hand, which was resting in mid-air, began to be uncontrollable, and became a little curled up and trembling, and he asked, "Do you know the person surnamed Luo in Luoyang City?"

"I don't know this. ”

I didn't even think about it, I just shook my head honestly at him. In the world, the prince knows two, but outside the staff, I haven't even figured out where Luoyang City is now, and how do I know that there is still a member surnamed Luo in Luoyang City.

"I don't know. ”

When he heard this, his feelings began to become a little lost, and the yin qi around him began to become heavier, he buried his head and muttered to himself, and the whole person seemed to become a little decadent, he said: " Xiaosheng had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping to get some news about his family from the girl's mouth, if the girl happened to be from Luoyang, or when she lived in the world, she happened to be close to Luoyang, and happened to know her father, then Xiaosheng could find out some news about her family from the girl's mouth, but ...... I just didn't think ......"

Unexpectedly, I let him down.

I looked at this unfinished ghost with a pout, and asked him curiously, "Are you a guest in a foreign land, and your parents don't know that you are dead?"

"No, no, no, Xiaosheng is not dead yet, but it is almost the same, and when you come to this kind of place, what is the difference between death and immortality. He sighed slightly, as if there was a big story to be narrated, "Xiaosheng's surname is Luo, his name is Qiusheng, and the words are top." Born in Luoyang City, a scholarly family, since childhood, full of poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, hobby is the study of gold, stone and jade, the year of the spoon dance accidentally participated in a poetry competition, and was fortunate to win the first place. At that time, he was young, young and vigorous, and he felt a little complacent, thinking that he was well-read and full of literature and ink, and if he went to Beijing to take the exam, he would definitely be able to get a good ranking. So, despite the opposition of his family, he left his hometown alone one night and prepared to go to the capital to participate in the autumn examination that year. But the world is unpredictable, who knows that on the way to the capital, when passing by a maple forest, because of the extreme sleepiness, I slept there for a while, Xiaosheng...... Xiaosheng came to this place and never left again. ”

Oh, it turns out that this ghost was a scholar when he was alive.

"And then?" I asked, "Did you come here because you slept in that maple grove and something happened to you?"

"Well, it seems like this. "This ghost in front of me is a little distressed," Xiao Sheng vaguely remembers that it was a summer a long, long time ago, how many days and how many years ago, staying in the underworld for so long, Xiao Sheng doesn't remember, only remember that day the weather was very hot, Xiao Sheng found a shady place in the maple forest to rest because he was too sleepy, half asleep, half awake, felt that his hair and clothes were wet with sweat, so he reached out and took out a puff fan from the baggage, fanned himself hard, fanned it, his eyelids couldn't help but open slowly uncontrollably, and saw that there was smoke rolling in the depths of the maple forest, where it swept, the maple leaves rustled, and the smoke faded, Xiao Sheng saw a beautiful woman in light clothes walking out of the depths of the maple forest, and slowly walked towards Xiao Sheng, she was still shaking the long silk in her hand, her steps were light, her body was graceful, and she was dancing. "At this point, this ghost is a little embarrassed," Xiao Sheng had never seen such a beautiful woman, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and he couldn't help but walk a few steps into the depths of the maple forest under his feet, and when he turned around and wanted to pick up the burden and hurry again, he found that the road had disappeared and turned into an abyss, and the direction of the little girl's dancing at the other end was no longer there, and the maple forest where he was was disappeared, and then, a hurricane blew, and Xiao Sheng became what he is now, and was forcibly brought here by those ghosts. ”

It seems that this scholar has less contact with women on weekdays, and as soon as he met the ghost, he was taken away by her, and he died with a whimper, and I don't know, now, the body that he abandoned in the maple forest back then, has there been any kind person who helped him collect the body and send it back to his hometown for so many years.

I looked him up and down again, and then asked him, "So, what you mean by this is that you are not dead yet, and the reason why you came to the underworld is because of the hurricane that brought you here?"

"Yes, yes, Xiaosheng is not dead. When I said this, the ghost in front of me became very excited, his head full of messy hair was like pounding garlic, and his feelings began to fluctuate a little, and he trembled for a while, and said in a rough voice: "Xiao Sheng has secretly talked to some ghosts in the underworld about this matter, but they don't believe what Xiao Sheng said, saying that Xiao Sheng is lying, and that Xiao Sheng is actually dead, and that the hurricane Xiao Sheng said is actually a lie that Xiao Sheng wants to return to the Yang Realm." ”

Lies, how is this not a lie, I secretly observed him from top to bottom, his body floating, his feet not touching the ground, his fingers were slender, and his skin was excessively white, this face

The face that can't see where the mouth and nose are is full of hair, how does it look like a ghost, how can it not be a ghost?

"Oh!"

Seeing that he seemed to be very sure that he was still alive, I couldn't bear to extinguish people's hopes all at once, so I responded perfunctorily. Looking left and right, there seemed to be no road behind this alley, it was a dead end, so he asked the ghost in front of him: "Do you know where the ghost palace is?"

"Ghost Clan's Palace?" he seemed a little surprised and a little scared, glanced back, stared at me with those gloomy eyes, and said to me in a rough and hoarse voice, "Do you want to participate in the Ghost Monarch's selection of concubines?"

For this unexpected news, the god said that he was very surprised, and he didn't expect that the underworld, like the human world, would also make the matter of choosing a concubine. It seems that this is an opportunity in front of me, instead of looking for clues here aimlessly alone, it is better to take one step at a time, enter the Ghost Monarch's palace first and take a look, even if I can't find Yan Mo at that time, but, in that place where ghosts gather Yin Qi is very heavy, I should also be able to find some news about the Flood Desolation Beast. I nodded at the ghost in front of me, looked at him expectantly, and said, "It's not that I'm participating, I just want to see the excitement." What a grand and lively thing it is for the ghost monarch to choose a concubine, if I can go and see it and be lucky enough to be chosen, it will also be a good thing, don't you say?"
