Chapter 19 The Troubles Begin
At this moment, several lonely spirits wandering the streets suddenly stiffened, and began to shake their noses and sniff around, as if they had smelled some delicious food.
A few lonely spirits searched for the smell, and found a man's figure appearing in the street, staggering, with a wine bottle in his hand, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.
The ghosts were overjoyed and wanted to rush over directly to suck the person's popularity, but they glanced at the four ghosts guarding the ghost gate in the distance, and suddenly hesitated again.
Popularity is also the essence of people mentioned in the cultivation of immortals, which is undoubtedly the most delicious food for ghosts, which is why Meng Hao and the others used ghost masking talismans before the ghost door was opened, which can not only make ghosts not see themselves, but also cover the essence on their bodies.
The essence of the Qi Condensing Realm cultivator is undoubtedly the most abundant, and if he is seen by the ghosts, he will definitely be targeted. But as long as you break through to the foundation building realm, the essence in the body is fused with the aura of the outside world, and there is no worry. If you reach the realm of Yudan, the aura in your body becomes true qi, and the ghosts will avoid it.
The man walked very frivolously, and from time to time he would take a sip of the liquor in the bottle, and walk slowly along the street, not knowing that he had attracted the attention of a large number of lonely souls.
One of the lonely souls couldn't stand it anymore, and was unwilling to hang behind it to suck the remaining popularity, so he ran directly behind this person and began to blow cool air on the top of this person's head.
Ghosts are not sucked if they want to suck popularity, everyone has their own resistance, not only to diseases, but also to evil things, and the most intuitive appearance is whether the soul fire in the heavenly spirit is strong.
The soul fire and candlelight of ordinary people are no different, and the wind cannot be extinguished by the wind and rain, which is closely related to the health of the human body. The soul fire burns vigorously, and this person has strong resistance and will not invade a hundred ghosts; the soul fire is the size of a bean, then this person will often be riddled with all kinds of diseases, and evil ghosts will follow.
I saw that this lonely soul blew more than a dozen breaths on the person's head, and the candlelight representing the human soul did not change in the slightest, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Just when he wanted to give up, the lonely ghost who was looking on the side saw that the ghost next to the ghost door almost did not react, and he also moved his mind to join the action, and suddenly more than a dozen ghosts blew cool air on the back of the person's head.
"Suck ~~"
The man's soul fire was shaken by the combined force of a dozen ghosts, and the man suddenly felt a cold wind blowing through the back of his head, and even the alcohol was mostly gone.
The man shuddered, threw his wine bottle directly on the ground, looked up at the cloudless sky, and then at the tree beside it, which did not shake in the slightest, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Hoo !!"
At this moment, another cool breeze blew towards the back of his head, and the man looked back, and there was no one behind him, and the whole street was very quiet, revealing a trace of weirdness.
The man then remembered that tonight was the Midyear Festival, and he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he quickened his pace and rushed home, even if there was a cool breeze blowing constantly behind his head, he didn't dare to look back, but walked faster.
The eyes of the many ghosts who had been following this person were full of excitement, and this person was frightened, and the soul fire began to sway, showing signs of weakening, and when the soul fire became the size of the bean light, it was the time to suck the popularity.
"Smack!!
The lonely spirits were still fantasizing about the scene of being able to absorb the popularity immediately, when a long black whip suddenly flung from a distance, and a whip struck several of the ghosts.
"Ah!!h
Those ghosts suddenly screamed miserably, and they were knocked to the ground, with an extra whip mark on their bodies, and a trace of yin qi was knocked out of their bodies. The other ghosts who followed the man were startled and fled, but were struck by another whip and fell to the ground.
"Da Da Da"
A sound of slow footsteps sounded in the street, and many ghosts hurriedly avoided the sound, only to see two ghosts guarding the ghost gate slowly walking over with whips.
“¥%#¥%×”
The ghost who fell to the ground saw the two ghosts coming from the cold face, and immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
People say that ghosts have ghost words, and on the way to the underworld after death, there will be a pavilion of ecstasy, and there is a well in the pavilion, and the ghost must drink a bowl of ecstasy water. Drinking this water means that you have completely become a ghost in the underworld, and there is no chance of resurrection from the dead, and at the same time, you can also spit out ghost words and tell the past of the yang.
"Bang Bang !!"
The two ghosts almost whipped the ghosts who wanted to suck the popularity, and the screams of the ghosts in pain were heard throughout the street, attracting a large number of ghosts to stop and watch.
The drunk man was already afraid, but he vaguely heard the screams of those ghosts, and his hair stood on end, goosebumps fell to the ground, and the soul fire above his head trembled and turned into the size of a candlelight.
The man didn't dare to turn back and walk faster, but he didn't notice a pothole under his feet, and he tripped and fell directly to the ground, falling on a burnt tribute paper.
Next to the ashes of the tribute, a ghost old man was comfortably tasting the tribute, and the man fell directly on the tribute, completely ruining the old man's enjoyment.
The man who fell was already frightened at this moment, how could he care so much, hurriedly got up, ignored the dust and dirt on his body, and ran away.
The old man saw that this person left without saying a word, and his face suddenly showed an angry expression, and he followed up and sucked at the person's body, and a white popularity was sucked out by the old man and swallowed into his abdomen.
The two ghosts who were beating the ghosts in the distance also saw this scene, but instead of arresting the old man's ghost and torture it severely, they continued to beat the ghosts under them.
There are iron laws in the world of ghosts in the world: in the human world, ghosts are alien, and human monks can destroy and imprison ghosts for any reason, while in the underworld, on the contrary, humans are aliens, and ghosts can do anything to humans.
Only when Halloween comes, yin and yang are connected, the rules between people and ghosts have changed, ghosts can not offend people arbitrarily, and people can not commit ghosts for no reason, either party violates this rule, the other party can punish it, and the consequences of people's death and soul can not blame anyone.
That person offended the old man because he stepped on the old man's tribute, and he didn't mean to apologize, which is considered to be a violation of the rules of the two worlds, so the old man can do anything to this person, even if he kills him, it will not add to the crime.
The old man took three more sipes in a row, the man's body was weak, his feet were weak, and he fell directly to the ground, and when he looked up again, he saw a young man in a Taoist robe standing in front of him.
"Do you know that you offended the ghost on the side of the street just now?" Meng Hao said in a low voice as he looked at the man below him.
"Master, save me!!" The man grabbed the corner of Meng Hao's clothes like a life-saving straw and began to plead.
"You just disturbed an uncle, and now he is following you to lock your life, you now turn around and kneel down and kowtow to him to admit your mistake, as for whether he accepts it depends on your sincerity. Meng Hao said with a sigh.
"Okay, good" The man agreed, turned around and was about to kneel, when he suddenly saw the figure of an old man standing behind him, staring at him coldly, and countless figures appeared around him.
"Get down on your knees and admit your mistake. The man was startled, and was about to exclaim, but at this time, Meng Hao's voice reminded him in time, so that the man calmed down, and hurriedly knelt in front of the old man and kept kowtowing.
When people's soul fire weakens, it is not only conducive to the upper body of ghosts, but sometimes they will see the ghosts around them like psychic.
"Old man, I was wrong, I shouldn't bother you, please let me go. While apologizing sincerely, the man kept kowtowing to the old man, hoping to get the old man's forgiveness.
The old man, who was originally watching coldly, first glanced at Meng Hao's position suspiciously, then looked at the man in front of him who kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake, sighed, and turned to leave.
"Okay, the old man forgives you, get up. Watching the old man walk away, Meng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, if the old man didn't forgive the man, he had no way to save him, he could only wait for death.
"Thank you, Master. When the man heard this, he looked up, and sure enough, he didn't see the old man, and in addition, the other ghosts couldn't be seen, so he immediately thanked Meng Hao excitedly.
"Give you a talisman, hurry home, and take a detour when you encounter those burnt paper money tributes. Meng Hao handed the man a talisman he had drawn, and then admonished the man.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master. The man took the talisman gratefully, thanked Meng Hao again, and hurriedly left the place, passing by some burned paper money, he was careful to avoid it from afar, so that Meng Hao was also relieved.
When the man thanked Meng Hao, Meng Hao saw a trace of white qi emerge from the man's body and floated to Meng Hao's side, like a silk thread around Meng Hao's body.
Meng Hao knew that this was the merit and wish formed by the man's gratitude for his life-saving grace, and if he often did good deeds, others would be grateful and have a wish, and this wish would be blessed on the body of the helper, which was of supreme use.
Meng Hao didn't feel too much, but hurriedly went to stop the other ghosts from escaping, it turned out that just when the ghost cha punished those ghosts, some bold ghosts took advantage of the chaos to get into the residential shops next to them and escape from the ghost's care.
Although the two ghosts at the ghost gate also began to take action to stop the ghosts, there were too many ghosts to escape, and the four ghosts were too busy at all, and Chen Yu and Jingshu, who were hiding in the shadows, had already started to act.
On the street, a ghost wanted to sneak into the residential area next to it, and a leather whip came over, directly wrapping the ghost's waist, and dragged it to the two ghosts who were whipping the ghost in the middle of the street, and there was one more ghost who was whipped.
At the end of the street, far away from the ghosts, one of the ghosts couldn't resist the joy of coming to the nearby shop and preparing to get in. The seven big stars in the northern sky suddenly lit up, and then the ghost was hit by a huge force, flew upside down and fell to the ground, and the yin qi on its body came out one after another, revealing a painful look.
The ghost on the side of "¥%%......" was taken aback, looked at the empty shop, turned his head to ear, and said a series of nonsense words that he didn't understand at all, his eyes were full of jealousy, and he didn't dare to take a step forward.
Jing Shu stood in front of the shop at this moment, saw the ghosts around him showing jealous eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to go elsewhere. Not only Jingshu, but Chen Yu also found a few ghosts who wanted to sneak into others while taking advantage of the chaos, and were scared away by Chen Yu's fist technique.
The two of them used the Seven Stars Tiger Fist, and at the same time combined with the practice of the Big Dipper Star Technique, the two complement each other and can invoke the power of the stars in the sky, so that there will be this effect of killing ghosts and destroying evil.
Meng Hao was much simpler, he had prepared a large number of spells before coming, and directly hit a ghost exorcism talisman, and the ghosts who dared to approach would be burned by the sunlight sealed in the ghost exorcism talisman, and their bodies would erupt one after another with yin qi, hurting the soul origin, and they would never dare to approach again.
The originally chaotic streets were finally calm under the suppression of the three and four ghosts, and the ghosts who originally wanted to escape were also frightened by the ghosts' fierce methods and wandered the streets peacefully.
The two onichas, who had been whipping and teaching disobedient ghosts, also stopped their whips and returned to the side of the ghost gate. The ghost who was beaten by the whip became illusory all over his body at this moment, as if his soul would be scattered in the next moment, and he fell to the ground and gasped for breath.
"There are still ghosts running away. The ghost that became peaceful gave Meng Hao and the three of them a chance to talk, and Meng Hao said regretfully.
"This is also something that can't be helped, we don't have enough strength, just do our best, and even Elder Dan doesn't dare to guarantee that none of the ghosts will escape. Jingshu comforted.
"Then what about these escaped ghosts doing evil?" Meng Hao asked.
"Rest assured, every time after Halloween, the sect will send its disciples and elders to travel, in order to catch the ghosts who have escaped, not only our various sects, but also the officials of the underworld will also return to the yang to catch ghosts. Jingshu said.
"In fact, there are not a few ghosts hidden in the shadows of the world, as long as they don't do harmful things, we will allow their existence, once they dare to do evil, they will definitely be arrested, and what awaits them will only be more cruel punishment. Chen Yu explained.
Jing Shu and Chen Yu's words also relaxed Meng Hao's nervous heart.
At this moment, many ghosts had already taken the paper money, tasted the tribute, and did not immediately return to the underworld, but began to wander the streets. For them, every second in the underworld is difficult, how can they be so comfortable in the world.
