Chapter 3: What is a "ghost"?

Li Zhi was so frightened that he smacked his tongue, Rao was such a small person as he was promoted, and he also knew that Zhongshuling was an official as big as the prime minister. I can't help but be a little afraid, if I continue to say the wrong thing just now, I don't know what trouble I will cause.

Zhang Jiuling waved his hand and motioned for Chen Ye not to continue.

Instead, he continued to say softly to Li Zhi, "It's okay, kid, you haven't said your name yet." ”

Li Zhi swallowed his saliva, "Lord Zhang, Xiaomin, Xiaomin Li Zhi." ”

Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly, but continued.

"Li Zhi, listen well, every word you say next is very important, and you must answer truthfully. ”

Seeing the serious look on Zhang Jiuling's face, Li Zhi's heart hung again, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded. "Yes, sir. ”

"Chen Ye said that you were bitten by a ghost, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Can you tell the old man to see it?"

Li Zhi obediently opened his shirt and exposed his neck, but he was so nervous in his heart, now he was like a lamb to the slaughter.

Zhang Jiuling leaned over and looked at it, and even touched it with his hand. was so frightened that Li Zhi's body shrank subconsciously.

"It's... It's weird, the speed at which it recovers...""Do you feel anything unusual?"

"My lord, except for some thirst, there is nothing unusual about the villain. ”

"Hahaha" Zhang Jiuling was obviously amused by Li Zhi's answer. "Come on, hand over the water. ”

A short time later, an official came up with a kettle. Zhang Jiuling picked up the wine jug and handed him to Li Zhi. Li Zhi hesitated, but still took it. He took the spout to his mouth and drank it in a big gulp.

Zhang Jiuling stood aside, didn't urge, just waited for Li Zhi to finish drinking. This surprised Li Zhi a lot, he didn't expect such a big official to be able to do this. But the hanging heart is also a little lowered.

Seeing that Li Zhi finished drinking. Zhang Jiuling spoke, "Li Zhi, have you ever thought about a question?" "The wound on your neck, will it heal too quickly? ”

Li Zhi's heart sank. I hadn't thought of this before, and for a moment a little fear flooded my heart. Could it be that I will become a ghost myself?

"Yes, yes, yes, sir. Li Zhi finally held back a sentence.

"Since the establishment of the Zhen'an Division, we have never seen such a situation in the documents that contain everything. "I was bitten by a ghost but I was fine, but the speed of recovery from the wound was as amazing as that of a ghost. "It seems that you are not afraid of the sun yet. ”

Seeing Li Zhi's puzzled eyes, Zhang Jiuling explained unhurriedly, "Ghosts are afraid of light, and when they see the light, they die." ”

"My lord, what the hell is a ghost!" Li Zhi finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Ghosts are filthy things, so they are afraid of light. Murder is also cannibalism, and it is a disaster for the people. Disturb the peace of the world. ”

"My lord, where did that ghost come from? ”

Zhang Jiuling obviously paused, "This old man doesn't know either." The old man only knows that since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, our Zhen'an Division has been killing ghosts for a hundred years. And further back, the ancestors recorded in history also had a history of killing ghosts with blood for hundreds of years. "The old man wants you to say, where did the ghost come from? The question is probably how the first ghost appeared in the world. After hundreds of years of bloody fighting, no one has left an answer. But we know that the more powerful and vicious the ghost, the longer it will live. When you encounter a ghost that no one can kill, that's the first ghost. The answer may lie there. ”

Li Zhi didn't expect Zhang Jiuling to answer such a question so patiently. A wave of gratitude unconsciously welled up in my heart. Growing up, no one has ever taken themselves so seriously. I've been wandering the streets since I was a child, and it doesn't matter if I die. Occasionally, someone is willing to say a few more words to themselves, and they become very happy. But life is always more cold and less warm. In order to protect himself, Li Zhi also slowly became a gangster, but he just ate and waited for death.

Li Zhi was still immersed in emotion, but Zhang Jiuling had already continued to speak.

"Li Shaoxia, please forgive the old man for having a reluctant request. Zhang Jiuling actually bowed to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was so frightened that he forgot to help him for a while. Zhang Jiuling maintained such a posture: "Please Li Shaoxia join our Zhen'an Division and be a ghost slayer who guards the people and stabilizes the world." ”

Li Zhi slowly came back to his senses and helped Zhang Jiuling up, but his mind was spinning. It turned out that after saying so much, he actually wanted to sell his life. Although his own rotten life is not worth a few dollars, not to mention that his own life was saved by Chen Ye. But remembering the appearance of the ghost, the cold still slowly crept up the spine. In broad daylight, Li Zhi couldn't help but shudder.

"Lord Zhang, villain, villain forgiveness. This evil ghost, the evil ghost is really fierce, even if the villain has the intention to kill the ghost, he will die in vain. ”

At this time, Chen Ye, who had been standing aside and had not spoken, spoke.

"Stay, live. "If you want to leave, you will die." "No one knows if you will become a ghost after you go out, so I will kill you here before you can prevent hidden dangers." ”

Unexpectedly, what was left in front of me was such two roads, both horizontal and vertical, and they were both death. It seems that he did not enter the official residence, but entered the den of thieves.

"The villain, the villain is willing to stay. There were also Li Zhi's tears, and after weighing the pros and cons, it was more realistic to die late.

When he looked up, he saw Zhang Jiuling smiling implicitly at Chen Ye, and Li Zhi couldn't help but scold this old man in his heart. He is the good guy, and the bad guy is done by others, but he is actually a thief.

"The old man also knows that it is not easy for you to make such a decision. But your situation is really rare, and I have to force you to stay in the Zhen'an Division. I hope you forgive me. "As for what you think in your heart, the old man also understands. Not everyone has the ability to kill ghosts, and letting innocent people die, this is by no means where the Zhen'an Division is established. In the Zhen'an Division, the armor who kills ghosts is called the ghost slayer. And all the ghost slayers will be trained by our generals. "The old man will entrust you to the person the old man trusts the most, train you well, teach you to kill the enemy, and teach you to save your life. Wait for the training period to expire, and then decide to stay, the old man can be a guarantee, I don't know what you think. ”

Li Zhi never expected Zhang Jiuling to say such a thing, and he had mixed feelings for a while. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly held back a few words, "The villain understands, thank you." ”

Zhang Jiuling beckoned, and an official messenger hurried up. "You take Li Zhi to Yin Zhao. "Yes, sir. ”

Then the official signaled Li Zhi to follow and went deeper into the mansion.

Zhang Jiuling and Chen Ye looked at Li Zhi's back, "This person may be the hope of Datang and Zhen'ansi", but Chen Ye did not respond.
