Chapter 574 Ghost Festival is coming, blank wedding invitation!
"Qiusheng, wake up! Don't continue to be such a fool! Dong Xiaoyu is the brothel girl of Yingchun Tower in the town! You should be familiar with Yingchun Tower, right? This is a brothel with a history of a hundred years!"
Uncle Jiu obviously knew Dong Xiaoyu's origins well, "Moreover, Dong Xiaoyu's death seems to be related to Yingchun Tower, but the history is too long and there is no way to investigate."
Yingchun Tower!
Suddenly, Qiu Sheng's eyes became bloodshot.
How could he not know about this century-old brothel?
"The biggest wish of a brothel woman is to find a good man to marry. You have been with Dong Xiaoyu for a while. I think you have also seen her in her wedding dress, right?"
Uncle Jiu said something coldly again.
This sentence completely broke Qiu Sheng's guard.
"No! No!"
Qiu Sheng gritted his teeth, feeling that all his good expectations for Dong Xiaoyu were completely shattered.
What kind of ghosts, what feelings, what love for him, etc.
These are all false and illusory.
"Da da da!"
Qiu Sheng stood up directly and left Yizhuang in a hurry.
He wanted to go outside to get some fresh air and calm down.
"Idiot."
Uncle Jiu sighed. He didn't want to say these words, but he had to say them to prevent Qiu Sheng from making the same mistake again and again.
Everyone continued to eat, but they were also a little worried about Qiu Sheng's condition.
"It's okay, that brat, do you really think you have real feelings for this female ghost Dong Xiaoyu? Maybe there is a little bit of feelings, but more often than not, it's just that you are greedy for other people's bodies!"
Uncle Jiu shrugged, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
Would he not know the temperament of his disciple?
really.
Just as Uncle Jiu expected.
Qiu Sheng felt sad for several minutes, then went back to the Yizhuang living room to eat.
"You always have to eat. After all, people are not invulnerable. If you don't eat, is it okay?"
Qiu Sheng's expression was very calm, without the previous sadness at all.
Even Ye Xiao was amazed when he saw it.
Wait until after the meal.
Uncle Jiu and others went out to continue patrolling Renjia Town and surrounding towns.
Ye Xiao did not go with them, but returned to his residence and summoned the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui from the underworld and Tieguai Li, headed by the Eight Immortals from Heaven.
In an instant.
Two red lights appeared in his field of vision.
A red light.
A figure appeared in the red light.
This figure is dressed in red robes, has a leopard head with ringed eyes, an iron face and curled temples, and has a strange appearance.
He is the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui.
And a figure also appeared in another red light.
This figure has unkempt hair, dark skin, disheveled clothes, and a messy beard. He is holding a long iron crutch in his hand and carrying a gourd behind his back.
He is not just Tieguai Li.
"See your Lord."
Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li looked very respectful in their eyes and also bowed.
"No need to be polite."
Ye Xiao waved his hand and said, but couldn't help but look at Tieguai Li one more time.
I just feel that Tieguai Li is really far from those immortals with elegant and handsome images.
But of course it is.
This Tieguai Li is the first of the Eight Immortals!
This has a lot to do with Tieguai Li's identity.
For example, Tieguai Li is the disciple of Taishang Laojun, Han Zhongli is his disciple, Lu Dongbin is his disciple, Cao Guoshu is Lu Dongbin's disciple, etc.
Such an identity!
Tieguai Li firmly sits on the throne of the Eight Immortals!
"That shadow that ate away the sun and blocked the sky, do you know who it is?"
Ye Xiao said calmly.
"this……"
Tieguai Li and Zhong Kui both looked guilty, and they were already doing their best to investigate this matter.
But as a result, there is still no clue, no clue.
"We are not doing our job well, please be punished by the Lord!"
Therefore, the two of them said something in unison.
"It's not your fault."
Ye Xiao did not mean to blame, but said slowly, "The owner of that figure is Jian! The legendary beast, the source of zombies! The creator of zombies!"
"What?!"
All of a sudden, Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li couldn't help but look shocked. They had never expected that Jian would revive.
"Hasn't Jian been defeated by Nuwa and Fuxi?"
"Yes! Not only did the three souls and seven souls of Jian disappear, but Jian's body was also sealed into the sacred tree by the supreme Haotian!"
While Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li were talking, they still seemed to find all of this a bit unbelievable.
Jian, who should have fallen in myths and legends, has now returned. This is ridiculous!
Haotian is a mighty and supreme heaven!
It is absolutely impossible for Jian to come back!
Jian is definitely dead a long time ago and has fallen!
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact."
Ye Xiao showed a tough attitude.
"We should not doubt the Lord's word."
Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li looked guilty and frightened.
In their hearts, Ye Xiao's status is even more powerful than that of Haotian!
Haotian is far inferior to the Lord!
My Lord, everything is possible!
Lord, this is their faith!
They can live because they are illuminated by the Lord's glory!
"So, your current task is to find traces of Jian as soon as possible."
Ye Xiao issued a mission, "Also, you must continue to clean up zombies and ghosts, and continue to spread faith! Let more people believe in gods!!"
He still needs more power of faith.
Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li nodded heavily and obeyed Ye Xiao's words.
Their attitude also made Ye Xiao very satisfied.
"The Ghost Festival is approaching, is there a gate to hell in this world?"
Ye Xiao asked Zhong Kui again.
"Reporting to my lord, there is no gate to hell in this world, but there are countless wandering souls."
Zhong Kui replied.
"Can those wandering souls be eliminated?"
Ye Xiao continued.
"Lord, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The number of wandering souls is like the crucian carp crossing the river. They are countless. If you want to eliminate them, it is almost impossible. Moreover, most of the wandering spirits are not harmful. If they are really eliminated, it will be counterproductive.
.”
Zhong Kui explained.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and immediately asked Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li to leave and get down to business.
Wait until they leave.
Ye Xiao once again inquired about the power of faith he currently possesses.
Two hundred and thirty million!
This data would have been absolutely astonishing at the beginning.
But now, in Ye Xiao's eyes, this is just a routine operation.
Currently, he is able to gather the power of faith throughout China.
No hesitation, no hesitation.
Ye Xiao directly spent 200 million more faith power.
Thirty million heavenly soldiers were summoned!
Fifty million underworld soldiers!
Let them continue to travel everywhere.
Destroy zombie ghosts!
Perhaps, Ye Xiao can also summon Yaksha Rakshasa and so on.
But they require a little more faith.
Still a Heavenly Soldier, a Yin Soldier is more cost-effective.
Cost-effective and affordable!
Three days in a row.
The heavenly soldiers slay demons!
Killed countless zombies and ghosts!
The underworld soldiers also destroyed countless zombies and ghosts!
The Eight Immortals in Heaven and the Eight Lords in the Underworld are still fighting to save the world!
And in these three days.
Ye Xiao's power of faith has also grown explosively.
Three days of scenery.
The power of faith exceeds 2 billion!
But he did not continue to use it.
Accumulate the power of faith and summon the immortals in heaven and the gods in hell!
And the Ghost Festival is getting closer and closer.
Many vendors can be seen in Renjia Town, selling various kinds of paper money, some firecrackers, fireworks, and river lanterns.
Among them, river lanterns are sold the most.
The traditional custom of placing river lanterns in Renjia Town seems to be very popular.
Let’s talk about this night.
When Uncle Jiu and others were inspecting Renjia Town, they could see many people coming out to set up river lanterns on the river bank at night.
Once the river lanterns are placed in the river, they illuminate the entire river extremely brightly.
Starry lights embellish the entire river.
“These river lanterns are so beautiful!”
Looking at the colorful river lanterns, Ren Tingting also blinked her eyes, looking very yearning.
Ye Xiao and others also nodded. They also thought the river lanterns floating in the river were quite beautiful.
"Uncle Jiu, why is there such a traditional custom of putting out river lanterns?"
Ren Tingting once yearned for Western culture and knew a lot about Western learning, but she was a little confused about Chinese traditions and didn't know much about them.
"July 15th is the Ghost Festival. When the Ghost Festival comes, the underworld will open the gate of ghosts and release the imprisoned ghosts, allowing the ghosts to return to the world. And the ghosts return to the world and want to find their way home.
There is no road, but this river lamp is needed to illuminate and guide the way."
Uncle Jiu talks about these traditional cultures very clearly and logically.
"I see."
Ren Tingting and others had expressions of sudden realization on their faces, feeling that they had been taught another lesson by Uncle Jiu.
"Master, this isn't right. It's not even the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar yet, so why are we setting off the river lanterns in advance?"
Wen Cai's small eyes were full of doubts.
The others were reminded by him and felt that this matter had a strange flavor.
"Because I have already told the people in the town in advance that no one is allowed to go out on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. This day is very bad!"
Uncle Jiu said with a serious expression, but his eyes always flashed with worry.
He always felt afraid that something bad was about to happen.
After he explained this, everyone showed expressions of enlightenment.
"Hello Uncle Jiu! Hello Brother Ye!"
When walking in Ren's town, the people would greet Uncle Jiu and Ye Xiao cordially.
In response, Uncle Jiu and Ye Xiao also showed polite smiles.
Ye Xiao was not surprised by such a scene. Now he has earned the nickname "Great Good Man" in Renjia Town, and Uncle Nine is even more impressive.
"Taoist Exorcist", "A Heavenly Master", "Taoist Master Maoshan" and so on.
In short, Uncle Jiu has great prestige in Renjia Town!
Walked around again.
Uncle Jiu and others did not notice anything unusual in Renjia Town.
However, Uncle Jiu was surrounded by many people.
"Uncle Jiu, has anything big happened recently?"
"Uncle Jiu, is Renjia Town going to encounter another disaster?"
"Uncle Jiu, you asked us to put out river lanterns in advance, and even asked us not to go out on the Hungry Ghost Festival. Why is this?"
…
The people were talking all over the place, and they were full of questions.
Not asking these questions and keeping them in their hearts makes them feel very uncomfortable.
"Quiet!"
Uncle Jiu said in a deep voice.
time.
The people around him wisely closed their mouths and said nothing, waiting quietly for Uncle Jiu to speak.
"We are not allowed to go out. This is for everyone's good. On the Ghost Festival, you must not go out!"
Uncle Jiu said with a serious expression.
then.
He talked about the Hungry Ghost Festival again.
There are four things you cannot do on this day.
First point, if you really go out, don't look back. Once you look back, you may encounter unclean and dirty things.
Second point, don’t pick up money on the ground. The money looks like money, but it’s actually some ghost coins. And when you find out that they are ghost coins, it’s too late and you’ll be in trouble.
You got it!
The third point is, don’t stay up all night or until midnight, otherwise you may see scary figures or hear weird sounds. To stay safe, go to bed as early as possible!
"And the fourth and most important point is, never wear red clothes. Red clothes will attract evil spirits and attract evil spirits."
Uncle Jiu finished his last sentence.
The common people also silently chanted Uncle Jiu's words in their hearts.
They dare not forget a word of Uncle Jiu's words.
"Remember, remember."
Uncle Jiu said again.
The people nodded heavily and wanted to say some words of gratitude, but they were interrupted by Uncle Jiu waving his hand.
"Go back as soon as possible!"
Uncle Jiu said with a solemn expression, the strong ominous feeling in his heart getting stronger and stronger.
Ye Xiao and others also admired Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu is really good at dealing with ghosts. They don't even know the four points that Uncle Jiu just mentioned.
"Crack!"
At this moment, an invitation with a red cover that looked very festive fell out of the arms of one of the villagers.
Normally this invitation would be inconspicuous, but in this environment.
But an invitation suddenly appeared, which seemed very attractive.
"Whose invitation is this? Is this family going to have a wedding banquet?"
The people couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that this thing was very strange.
So many things have happened in Renjia Town recently.
Who's family still wants to hold a wedding banquet? Is this because they want to use the name of happiness and eliminate disaster?
Is this the only way to do it?
Ding!
Ye Xiao's heart trembled, thinking that the prophecy was about to come true?
The Ren Mansion in Renjia Town holds wedding banquets on the Ghost Festival.
He also paid attention to Ren Tingting, but found that Ren Tingting also looked very surprised, as if she thought it was incredible that an invitation appeared at the current time.
"Something weird."
Uncle Jiu, who has always been sensitive and cautious, said something.
However, he still bent down and picked up the invitation in his hand.
When I picked it up, I found two big words written on the cover of the invitation - Wedding Banquet!
Apart from this there is no other text.
The more he looked at Uncle Jiu, the more strange he felt.
However, he quickly opened the wedding invitation.
"this……"
But it made Uncle Jiu's face look astonished, somewhat unexpected.
When he opened it, he saw that the wedding invitation was blank, not a single word!
