Chapter 623 Half-faced hospitality and the new underworld
"Who am I? By the way, I am Zuo Xingyuan! Oh my god, how did I end up in such a ghost place? Ah! Brother 'So-and-so' come and save me!"
I was wandering around her and suddenly froze, staring at her mouth in confusion.
Just now, she suddenly woke up and remembered that she was Zuo Xingyuan, which was quite unexpected.
But what makes it even more difficult for me to understand is that she clearly called out a person's name, expecting that person to come to save her, but I didn't hear who that person was.
Sure, she called out someone's name, but why did it become so-and-so when it fell into my ears?
And I couldn’t see clearly the shape of her mouth when she called out that person’s name!
Yes, when I heard the word 'someone', Zuo Xingyuan's mouth shape suddenly became blurry in my eyes, and I couldn't tell the person's name through lip reading.
"What do you mean and why?"
I pulled my hair, puzzled.
"Originally it belongs to the rules of the world. Why did you hide someone's name from me? Could it be that... he is my cheap biological father?"
Suddenly something dawned on me.
Combined with those memories from childhood, in the Daohua Bliss Funeral and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are a lot of non-human powers living in seclusion. From this, we can know that my cheap biological father is definitely a great master in the Tao.
Before my mother, Xiangxiang, took me to escape, she took out the compass instrument and two secret books on the ghost gate from the memorial tablet cabin.
At present, I only have the first half of the secret book in my hand, and the second half is undoubtedly in the hands of Xiangxiang’s mother.
Based on all the clues, it can be inferred that my biological father should be a very important figure in the ghost sect of Maoshan in the original world.
"Could it be that he is the master of the Maoshan Ghost Sect? Or is he a powerful person with positions such as Dharma Protector and Guest Minister?"
Such a mage would usually do some work of exorcising evil spirits and detecting spirits, so it is understandable that he would interact with the wealthy Zuo family.
Zuo Xingyuan called him brother, which proved that his biological father was not very old at this time.
My current situation is very special. I am considered a specially hired bodyguard. Therefore, as a rule, I am not allowed to have access to information about my life experience.
According to the theory of cause and effect, you need to dig out your own life experience, so how can you just tell it casually?
"Based on this, the so-and-so Zuo Xingyuan called should be my biological father."
After a sudden thought, I came to this conclusion.
"Emotions, Shang Chun's previous life, Zuo Xingyuan, knew my biological father? This is interesting."
Not to mention the many thoughts that arose in my mind, just that Zuo Xingyuan suddenly woke up.
She turned around and looked around, and saw many ghosts passing by the alley. They were so frightened that they huddled in the corner, facing the water in front of them, whimpering, feeling pitiful and helpless.
I wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't reach her, so I could only worry.
At this moment, my heart moved and I looked up.
I saw that the window on the second floor was pushed open, and a female ghost with black hair covering half of her face poked her head out and looked at Zuo Xingyuan below.
The half of the female ghost's face that is exposed is quite graceful. This should be a beautiful ghost.
"Little girl, what's wrong with you? Are you lost?"
The female ghost spoke faintly, using ghost language.
Zuo Xingyuan was in the three-soul state, so she naturally mastered the ghost language. When she heard the words, she looked up.
When he saw the pale half of the female ghost's face, he was first frightened and screamed. Then, perhaps realizing that the other party had no ill intentions, he suppressed his cry and said: "Hello, sister, I don't know how I got here;
I was originally a stranger, but now..."
Zuo Xingyuan looked down at her almost transparent ghost body and cried again.
"Oh, stop crying, you won't be pretty if you cry any more.
You are obviously in a ghost state now. Could it be that your soul left your body and wandered here? This is not good.
You fly up first, my sister will protect you."
The female ghost above comforted her and signaled Zuo Xingyuan to come into her room.
Zuo Xingyuan had no other choice, so she gritted her teeth and slowly flew up, flying along the window into the female ghost's home.
I followed him inside.
Neither of the two girls can find me.
"Well, little girl, let me tell you first, sister, I only have half of my head left. Now, let me show it to you. Don't be afraid."
The female ghost in a red skirt motioned for Zuo Xingyuan to take a seat, then she seemed to have thought of something and said this awkwardly.
"Half a head? It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Zuo Xingyuan's body started to tremble.
The female ghost smiled and casually lifted her long black hair that covered her face.
Zuo Xingyuan's eyes suddenly bulged out!
She was almost frightened to the point of screaming, but she managed not to scream.
Even though the other party had warned me in advance, I was shocked when I suddenly saw the female ghost’s face clearly.
Indeed, it is really half a head!
It was as if the female ghost had been hit by some weapon, and half of her head was cut off at once.
The wound was red and white, with faint traces of blood flowing. Not to mention how scary it was.
Fortunately, she explained it in advance, otherwise, Zuo Xingyuan's courage would have been surprising if he didn't run away in fear!
"Are you scared? Don't be afraid. Sister, I was harmed by evil people. I didn't mean to scare you. I am a woman who loves beauty."
The female ghost pulled her black hair back in front of her face to cover the missing area, and now she looked much more normal.
Zuo Xingyuan took several minutes to calm down.
She finally figured it out, no matter whether the other person's image is scary or not, as long as he doesn't harm herself, he is a good ghost.
When the female ghost noticed that Zuo Xingyuan looked at her normally, she became happy and set a table of food and wine for Zuo Xingyuan to enjoy.
The two girls shouted "sister, sister" and smelled the ingredients happily.
During this period they talked a lot.
The female ghost's name is Shu Nan, and she has a tragic fate.
The bully here, a steward named Cui Leji, took a fancy to her, but she didn't like him, so the bully took away her lover whose ghost body was chopped into two pieces, and chopped off half of her head!
This experience is saddening.
Zuo Xingyuan also talked about her family's experience. She said many times during this period that someone would definitely come to save her!
However, she murmured that person's name so many times in front of Shu, but when it came to my ears, it was still just the word so-and-so, so it didn't bother me much.
Shu Nan liked Zuo Xingyuan very much and invited her to stay temporarily.
Zuo Xingyuan has a place to stay and can do some repairs, so there is no reason to disagree.
Although I wanted to take Zuo Xingyuan away, I was powerless and could only watch the situation develop.
Shu Nan and Zuo Xingyuan chatted very passionately.
I had nothing to do, so I took this as the center, explored the surrounding area, and lurked around each ghost resident.
Outside the county town, I met a ghost who was in charge of management. I felt that his behavior had already reached the level of half-step ghost king, and I couldn't help but be surprised.
Isn't the ghost level here limited to the green-clothed ghost level? What's going on with this guy?
Out of curiosity, I followed the steward named Cui Leji, and after patiently collecting information, I gained a better understanding of this place.
I was surprised to find that this alien space filled with ghosts and monsters is called the New Underworld!
This terrible name really scares me.
As the name suggests, it is to establish another underworld outside the official underworld of the original world!
In other words, this place competes with the formal underworld for the right to receive and manage the ghosts of ordinary people.
Isn't this a joke?
