For two days in a row, Yu Xiaolong moved forward quickly. He met many lonely ghosts and some normal ghosts on the road. He ignored them and hurried on as quickly as possible without using his true energy.
The safety of the current environment is unknown, and Yu Xiaolong does not dare to reveal his identity as a practitioner.
Although ghosts of the same level and above can sense it, he still hides himself as much as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.
In the past two days, he has not encountered any official ghosts, no signs of other forces, and no danger.
So he moved forward very quickly, and he slowly saw many ghosts busy in their own business, which indicated that he was approaching a town.
As there are more and more ghosts around us, houses begin to appear in the distance, and items used by ghosts can be clearly seen.
Yu Xiaolong slowed down, maintained his normal state, and walked away like a ghost.
"Hello." He walked over to a shambling old ghost.
"Huh?" The other party raised his head and looked this way.
"I would like to ask, how far is it from the town?" Yu Xiaolong asked politely.
"Follow this road and you'll be there in less than half a day." The old ghost waved his hand listlessly.
"Oh, thank you." Yu Xiaolong nodded and walked over there.
The old ghost looked at his retreating figure and shouted, "Huh?"
Yu Xiaolong stopped, turned around and asked doubtfully: "Why, what's the matter?"
"What do you do? Judging from the way you are dressed...it seems...cough." The old ghost blinked.
Yu Xiaolong turned around and walked back and said, "What am I wearing? What's wrong?"
The old ghost looked him up and down, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Yu Xiaolong asked tentatively: "What's wrong, you can just say it. I'm not a bad person...a bad ghost."
The old ghost looked up at him, thought for a moment, and whispered: "You are not the ghost here."
Yu Xiaolong nodded with a smile and said, "It's true, I'm from another town. You have very good eyesight, old man!"
Seeing that he spoke politely, the old ghost said cautiously: "What I mean is, you...are not a ghost, you are...a person from the earth."
Yu Xiaolong looked at him in surprise and asked: "Old... old man, how did you tell?"
Seeing that the other party had admitted it, the old ghost nodded with a smile and said: "I have been in contact with people from the earth before, haha."
"Oh? That's awesome! But aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy or something?" Yu Xiaolong chuckled.
"Haha~ I am already at this age. Even if I encounter danger, there is nothing to be afraid of. I won't live long." The old ghost scratched his head and laughed.
"This... you are really open-minded, hehe." Yu Xiaolong nodded.
"Hey~ No matter it's a human or a ghost, when you get to my age, you can see everything. When a person dies, he may become a ghost, and when a ghost dies, his soul may be gone. He has never seen anything in his whole life, so it doesn't matter."
The old ghost chuckled.
"It would be great if everyone had the same mentality as you. It's a pity, the intrigues are so annoying." Yu Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
"After you have gone through all the mess, you will understand everything when you get older. You are still young and don't understand this." The old ghost said with a smile.
"Haha...Old man, did you just say you spent time with people from the earthly world?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"It was many years ago. I met a man from the earth who was injured, and I took him home to recover from his injuries." The old ghost nodded.
"You are such a good person...what a ghost, hehe...how did he get injured? Is it serious?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"I don't know about this. Anyway, he didn't have any injuries on the outside, but he looked very weak. The man had his own medicine, but he couldn't move around casually. He stayed at my house to recuperate for nearly a month, and then he left after he recovered."
The ghost said.
"Has he taken medicine?" Yu Xiaolong asked further.
"He said he had medicine, but I didn't see what he ate. He sat there cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed, and told me not to disturb him, and then that was it." The old ghost recalled.
Yu Xiaolong knew that the person he was talking about should be a practitioner in the underworld.
"Old man, as a ghost, you are really kind-hearted to be able to help people in the world like this." Yu Xiaolong said approvingly.
"What the hell, as long as they are not bad, we should help each other!" The old ghost frowned slightly.
"Have you met bad ones too?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him.
"Of course, what haven't I seen at this age? There are bad people in the world, and there are also bad ghosts in the underworld!" The old ghost curled his lips.
"Tell me about it?" Yu Xiaolong became interested.
"A few years ago, there were some people from the world who killed many ghosts and even captured a few. They were so abominable and inhumane! They were simply beasts! I saw it with my own eyes, and I don't know what they were doing.
." The old ghost cursed fiercely.
"Ah? What's going on?" Yu Xiaolong asked in surprise.
"It all happened several years ago, so don't mention it." The old ghost shook his head.
"Okay... By the way, do you know Tiger Smiling Bones?" Yu Xiaolong asked tentatively.
The old ghost was startled, shivered a few times, and sat down on the ground with a "pop".
Yu Xiaolong said in surprise: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
The old ghost sighed and said calmly: "How could I not know him? My son died in his hands."
Yu Xiaolong was stunned and quickly asked: "What's going on?"
The old ghost smiled bitterly and said: "My son used to work as a busboy at Hu Xiaogu's place. That time a guest came, and he was temporarily asked to bring some fruit. Unexpectedly, he accidentally sprained himself and a plate of fruit fell on the guest.
The deputy of Xiaogu scolded him and gave him a slap. My son scolded him after he went back, and also scolded Hu Xiaogu. Unexpectedly, walls have ears, and he was reported. Hu Xiaogu just... directly... killed him.
!Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Yu Xiaolong stood there dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "Just because of that thing?"
The old ghost sat on the ground and cried bitterly. Yu Xiaolong stood beside him and clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
After a long time, the old ghost wiped his tears and said, "Forget it, it's been many years. This is my fate. Who will let ghosts like us lose their lives?"
Yu Xiaolong's chest heaved, and his teeth itched with hatred.
After hearing about the Tiger Laughing Ghost from two ghosts in a row, Yu Xiaolong had basically figured out what kind of guy it was.
Yu Xiaolong knelt down, patted the old ghost and said, "Old man, don't worry, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely avenge you and many ghosts!"
The old ghost raised his head, looked at him blankly, and asked: "You want revenge? You?"
Yu Xiaolong comforted him: "Don't be too sad, old man. As long as there is a chance, I will definitely avenge you and many others, but it may not be possible at the moment."
The old ghost held his tears and smiled bitterly: "Hey... thank you for your words."
When he raised his head again, Yu Xiaolong had disappeared.
The old ghost looked around blankly, and finally knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Thank you, gods, thank you, gods!"
Looking at the city gate not far away, Yu Xiaolong dressed himself up as a wild ghost and walked forward staggeringly following the ghosts in all directions.
When approaching the city gate, Yu Xiaolong looked up and saw: Black and White Leaf City.
