Old Man Hu is going to see the Ghost King to see if the other person is his sister. It's a complete mess.
After all, when the ghost king travels, many ghosts will follow him, and under the soaring yin energy, no living person will be spared.
Fortunately, Wu Ming and Yan Shi each have their own means of prevention, and they are young and strong.
But Old Man Hu couldn't do it. At his age, being attacked by ghosts would cost him half his life, and he might have to die on the spot.
"Mr. Hu, you are too old. I am afraid you will die if you meet the Ghost King." Yan Shi expressed his opinion and did not agree with Old Hu going to recognize his relatives.
You know, it is no joke that humans and ghosts have different paths. There is still a big difference between the living and the dead.
If the Ghost King is really Old Man Hu's sister, and she has not come to visit her for so many years, it means that the Ghost King also understands the principle that humans and ghosts have different paths.
This is a tiger-headed tiger-brained thing. They took Old Man Hu to find the Ghost King. It would be easy to admit his mistake. If he had not admitted his mistake, the old man would have been killed by the Yin Qi. Wu Ming and Yan Shi would not have to think about it, but they would also have to face the Ghost King, who would become angry and pursue him.
.
"If you don't take me there, how will I know if the Ghost King is my sister?" Yan Shi disagreed with his point of view, and the old man Hu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
Wu Ming was sitting aside. When he heard this, he waved his hands and said, "If the old gentleman doesn't go, why don't we go? Anyway, we just want to find the Ghost King and draw her appearance. When the time comes, the Ghost King will
Mr. Hu will know at a glance whether it is Hu Jiumei or not."
"Yes, this is a good idea!"
Yan Shi clapped his hands and applauded. Then he thought about the terror of the Ghost King and hesitated: "Brother Wu Ming, the idea is good, but the Ghost King is not easy to mess with. Do you want to wait for my master to come back?"
"Why, are you scared?"
"How could it be possible? I, Yan Shi, am not afraid of anything, so how could I be afraid of a ghost?"
Yan Shi was young and energetic, so of course he would not admit that he was afraid.
Wu Ming waved his hand and didn't care. In fact, he had his own plan for doing this.
If the ghost king is really Hu Jiumei, he can start from Hujiazhuang and find Hu Jiumei's ashes during his lifetime.
You know, ghosts may seem powerful, but they definitely have a lot of weaknesses.
Not to mention sunshine and the like, ashes are also the opponent's weakness.
In A Chinese Ghost Story, Grandma Shu controlled Nie Xiaoqian's ashes so that Nie Xiaoqian did not dare to escape. Similarly, although the nine-tailed fox is the ghost king, Wu Ming does not believe that she can escape the restrictions of being a ghost, even her own ashes
No more.
"Both of you, I'm sorry to trouble you. If you see the Ghost King, you must draw her likeness. Please." Old Man Hu didn't know Wu Ming's plan yet, so he looked at the two of them with eyes filled with gratitude.
.
Wu Ming nodded and said nothing. He just greeted everyone to eat wine and food, and asked from time to time about the events of Hu Jiumei's lifetime.
When Hu Jiumei was alive, she could be said to be Xiaojiabiyu, with a soft and weak personality.
The only thing that impressed Wu Ming was that when Hu Jiumei was still alive, she was most afraid of toads covered with pimples on her body.
After finishing the meal, Old Hu rode his little donkey back to Hujiazhuang to wait for the good news.
On the way back, Wu Ming and Yan Shi had their own concerns. Even Cui Hongjian, who had bought the Four Treasures of the Study, did not dare to speak loudly along the way.
Silently all the way, the three of them returned to Wumenju.
At this time, according to the plot, Yan Chixia should be back.
But Wu Ming took a look and found that Yan Chixia was still not there, and the timeline obviously conflicted with the story.
"Hey, brother Wu Ming, I've thought about it all the way, but I still feel that it's not safe. It's not that I'm scared, but that this ghost king is not a trivial matter. Even my master can't do anything to her. Let's go to Yinfeng Mountain to find the ghost king. This is terrible
Don't be careless!" Yan Shi has a somewhat straightforward personality and is used to saying whatever he wants.
After hearing Yan Shi's words, Wu Ming also knew that this matter was a bit risky and would not be easy without Yan Chixia by his side.
However, Wu Ming knew that Yan Chixia did not want to care about the Ghost King at this time.
If he really waits for Yan Chixia to come back, not only will the other party not help him, but he will become a hindrance and miss this great opportunity.
"Yan Shi, these days the brave are overpowered and the timid are starved to death. You have been with Hero Yan for some years. Don't you want to accomplish two big things and let Hero Yan know your abilities?" Yan felt that
Shi was not very confident, so Wu Ming spoke earnestly and expressed his own opinions.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shi didn't care at first, but he couldn't ignore it later.
Yan Shi grew up next to Yan Chixia, and he was at the age where he beat his master to death with random punches. How could he not want to prove himself?
After hearing Wu Ming's persuasion, Yan Shi sighed heavily and nodded: "You're right. Master has given me so many skills. As a disciple, I can't be embarrassed. What a ghost king.
I, Yan Shi, am not scared!"
"Yes, that's the confidence we need!" Wu Ming patted Yan Shi on the shoulder and agreed to set off at midnight tonight to explore Yinfeng Mountain, the ghost king's lair.
Yinfeng Mountain is the ghost king's lair and the most haunted place within a hundred miles nearby.
Under normal circumstances, even at noon during the day, this place is like a restricted area. At night, not only is it a night of hundreds of ghosts, but the shrill laughter of ghosts can also be heard across the mountain road several miles away.
The sky gradually darkened. Wu Ming and Yan Shi had dinner and headed towards Yinfeng Mountain.
Cui Hongjian, a scholar, sent the two of them down the mountain, saying bluntly that Wu Ming and Yan Shi had seen the Ghost King and they must come back and tell him about it. Looking at this posture, if he was not powerless, he would follow whatever he said.
went.
"Scholar, go back, don't see him off!" When he walked to the woods at the foot of the mountain, Yan Shi refused to let Cui Hongjian see him off because it was not safe at night.
Cui Hongjian nodded in agreement, turned around frequently and reluctantly went back.
As soon as the scholar left, Wu Ming and Yan Shi started on their way at full speed.
More than an hour later, the two passed through several hills and stood under a black mountain.
Black trees, black stones, black weeds.
Everything on Yinfeng Mountain seemed to be black, and from time to time there were sounds of laughter, crying, and quarreling faintly coming from the mountain.
"Ghosts can see the yang energy of living people. We living people have three fires on our bodies, one on the top of our head and one on our shoulders. If we rush in, we will be surrounded before we get halfway."
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Wu Ming looked at the ghostly mountain and heard Yan Shi's warning in his ears.
As Yan Shi spoke, he took out two handfuls of incense ash from his pocket.
The next second, before Wu Ming could ask anything, Yan Shi muttered something and sprinkled the incense ashes on the two of them.
"What is this for?" Wu Ming was disgraced by the incense ash. Instead of being angry, Wu Ming looked at himself curiously.
"These incense ashes are very useful. They can cover the yang energy in our bodies. You will know it when you open your Dharma Eyes." Yan Shi pinched the Dharma Secret in his hand, quickly passed it with his fingers in front of Wu Ming's eyes, and whispered: "
Heaven and earth are endless, open!"
...whoosh....
Wu Ming felt his eyes light up and looked at Yan Shi, but he didn't feel anything different.
Seeing Wu Ming's gaze, Yan Shi smiled and wiped his shoulder. After wiping off the ashes on his shoulder, a flame suddenly rushed out.
The light blue flame is like lighting a candle on the shoulder, which is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
Wu Ming looked at this scene with curiosity and asked curiously: "Is this the function of the incense ash?"
"Yes, without these incense ashes, ghosts can see the flames on our bodies. But with incense ashes, it is not possible. Unless the other party's Taoism is too high, ordinary ghosts will not be able to recognize that we are human beings." Yan Shi said while saying
After explaining, he covered the incense ashes and suppressed the flame again.
Not to mention, with Yan Shi's unique skills, it's really a bit supernatural.
