Chapter 17: The Wild Ghost King of the Abandoned Apartment (3)
"Huh? You've got the hang of it! Pian Pian put down the book.
Guan didn't answer, touching his nose. After sixteen consecutive misses at the beginning, he was followed by twelve talismans, and successfully hit the straw man seventeen times within twenty-five talismans.
"It's actually quite simple." Ah Guan sent out three white flames in succession, hitting the scarecrow.
Pian Pian drew three strokes on the wall, made up four "positive" characters, and finally achieved her goal.
"Good, good." Pian Pian smiled, walked over, and patted the bamboo branch with leaves on Ah Guan's head.
Ah Guan saw Pian Pian blinking at him with big clear and bright eyes and laughing, and somehow, the dissatisfaction and grievances with her strict training these days were all thrown out of the clouds, and he also laughed.
He remembered that when he was a child learning to ride a bicycle, he fell and his knees and elbows were full of wounds, but once he got the hang of it, he never fell again.
"Let's have dinner at noon!" Guan touched his stomach.
Pian Pian picked up her backpack: "Yes, taking you to a delicious restaurant is a reward." ”
Walking into the elegant restaurant, Ah Guan picked a seat and sat down. The fluttering in front of him attracted the attention of many men, making Ah Guan a little proud.
"Is there any news from my mother? Didn't you say you would send someone to investigate? Guan asked, sipping the soup.
Pian Pian brushed her hair, as if thinking about how to speak. "I was just about to tell you that your mother imprisoned the Shunde evil god in the temple."
"What!" Guan choked on a mouthful of soup and coughed incessantly, his eyes widening as he looked at Pian.
"Don't worry, listen to me." Pian Pian wiped her mouth with a tissue and began to say, "A few days ago, our spy followed your mother to the outside of the Shunde Temple, and when she saw your mother enter the temple, she never came out again. The temple was guarded by many evil spirits and ghosts, and the spy managed to sneak into the temple only to find your mother locked up in a room in the basement. ”
"Why didn't you tell me a few days ago?" Guan was a little angry.
"What's the use of telling you? You can't even practice the White Flame Talisman, even if you want to save people, you won't be allowed to save them. Pian Pian said lightly: "Don't worry, your mother's captivity has not been a big deal for the past few days, her three meals are provided, and her believers and friends take turns to take care of her." Speaking of this, Pian Pian pointed to Ah Guan. It's you, we received the news that the Shunde evil god sent ghosts to look for you everywhere, and I cast a 'hidden spirit spell' on you so that they can't smell you. ”
Although Ah Guan heard Pian Pian say that her mother was fine, she still couldn't help but ask worriedly: "There is an old witch who knows witchcraft in that group of crazy believers who is very difficult, and I have been manipulated by her several times. I don't know if you can deal with her? ”
Pian Pian glared at him and said, "That old temple Zhu should have been bewitched by the evil god and turned into an evil god's lackey, although he knows some strange arts, but he is a mortal after all." I'm a god in the sky, do you think I can deal with her? ”
Ah Guan snorted and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you can't do it, since you can do that, why don't you attack the Shunde Temple in one fell swoop, catch that evil god out and beat it, and rescue my mother?" ”
"This Shun's means are very high, in just two months, he has defeated many evil god opponents, expanded his sphere of influence extremely fast, and now he is listed as one of the three major evil gods in the north along with the two evil gods of 'Qiyuan Xingjun' and 'Qianshou Gong'. There are dozens of evil gods and gods of all sizes as his eagle claws, and countless ghost pawns for him to drive. You fool can't help now, and no matter how good I am, I can't kill it single-handedly. Pian Pian said with a snort.
Ah Guan had nothing to say, so he had to bow his head and eat violently.
Pian Pian continued: "Qiyuan Xingjun was originally one of the five stars with Tai Sui Ye, but after the collapse of Tai Sui Ding, he degenerated into an evil god and fell to the mortal world to establish himself as a king. Qianshou Gong was originally the main god of a large temple somewhere in the mortal world, but he let the evil thoughts corrode and become an evil god, leading troops to rebel. And this guy called Shunde is even more powerful, originally just a little-known god of fortune in a small temple, we have never heard of his name, but in a short period of time, he has developed a huge force. ”
After explaining the origin of the three powerful evil gods in the north, Pian Pian saw that Ah Guan was just eating and didn't answer, so he smiled and said: "Now the main forces of the righteous gods are all spent sweeping away the evil gods in the south, because the new Tai Sui Ding is hidden in a secret realm somewhere in the south. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of dealing with the three evil gods in the north belongs to you, Tai Sui. ”
"Huh?" Guan raised his head in amazement, and the soup in his mouth actually flowed out.
"What are you grimacing? Ugly to death. "Pianpian is angry and funny.
"I'm not grimacing, I just think... not to mention the three evil gods, even the minions of their subordinates can easily kill me, how can I solve the three of them alone?" Guan asked.
"The power of Tai Sui in your body has gradually awakened, you will become stronger in the future than now, if you want to live a good life and be an immortal, you have to pay the price." Pian Pian replied.
Guan was noncommittal.
When the two finished eating, Ah Guan suddenly thought of something, rubbed his hands nervously, and whispered to Pianpian: "To be honest, the money Tai Sui gave me was robbed by a liar..."
Pian Pian didn't answer, and took out a credit card from her purse to settle the bill. Guan stuck out his tongue and followed behind Pianpin.
The two of them walked out of the restaurant and walked on the road, when Pian Pian suddenly asked: "You said that a scammer robbed you of your money, so were you deceived by him or robbed by him?" ”
"I was deceived by him first, and then I was robbed by him..."
After listening to this, Pian Pian said lightly: "Originally, we were doing things in the mortal world, and the currency used for mortal transactions was naturally not a problem, and there were as many as we wanted. But you are not an official immortal now, and the money is the reward given to you by Tai Sui, and it is your own responsibility to let people rob you carelessly. You'll have to wait until next month to get paid for that month. ”
Ah Guan nodded again and again in agreement, and he was already grateful at the thought of having so much money to receive next month.
The two walked towards the mountain road again, and Guan felt strange: "Haven't you already achieved today's goal?" Why do you want to go back? ”
"Have you forgotten that you still have to practice fighting evil spirits at night?"
"Why?" Ah Guan sighed: "I've achieved my goal, why do I have to be punished?" ”
"It's not a punishment, it's to increase your actual combat experience, what's the use of beating a straw man who can't move? Do you want to save your mother? Pian Pian said solemnly.
"Well, that's right..." The thought of rescuing his mother as soon as possible made Guan stop complaining.
At night, the wind around him was strong, and the leaves were rustling, and Ah Guan's head ached, and his hand holding the drink trembled and paced back and forth irritably.
"Wait a minute." Pianpian stood under a tree on the side, looking at the sky and night.
"Today, my head hurts so much today, I don't know why..."
"There's a wild ghost king coming to grab the land tonight, and it will be very lively later." Pian Pian replied with a smile.
"What!" Guan was shocked.
"Come here, don't stand in plain sight." Pian Pian pulled Ah Guan to the grass next to a few trees, from which he could clearly observe the entire row of old apartments in front of him.
At this time, the abandoned apartment was pitch black, and in the moonlight, it was clear that there were large mottled marks on the walls, and the vines that covered half of the walls.
"It's strange, how could anyone build a house here?" Guan shook his head, trying to alleviate his headache. "What did you just say that the ghost king is going to come to grab the territory, what's going on?"
"After the evil thoughts overflowed, more and more evil gods or evil ghosts wanted to be kings and overlords under the influence of evil thoughts. And this mountainside is a place of the most yin, often where geists gather, and under the influence of evil thoughts, those geists gradually turn into fierce and vicious ghosts. The kings and kings who want to recruit troops and buy horses, of course, all fancy this stronghold that can gather wandering spirits and cultivate evil ghosts. The Wild Ghost King who came today is naturally not worth mentioning compared to the three evil gods, but he will bring at least a hundred evil ghost subordinates with him later, which should not be wrong. Pian Pian looked at the abandoned building, brushed her long hair, and explained casually.
"I can't deal with so many evil spirits alone...," Ah Lian shook his head.
"Are you afraid?" Pian Pian looked at Ah Guan.
