Chapter 139 When it’s dark and you close your eyes, hundreds of ghosts appear
Ren Qing knew that what Huang Ziwan said was true. Anyway, he had never seen any bull-headed horse from the underworld come to seduce his soul.
Normally, once there is no life left, the soul will gradually dissipate over time.
He stared at the flower field on the other side, and found that in addition to the large field of flowers on the other side, there was also a vine standing in the center.
The trees look inconspicuous against the background of the ribs.
But Ren Qing recognized it at a glance.
It seems that it is Mu Yi who is stationed in Annan Town to guard the flower fields on the other side.
As the terrain gradually rose, the husky couldn't help but stick out his tongue and gasp for air.
Even if it masters the art of creation, as long as there is food in its stomach, it can regain its physical strength, but it will inevitably feel tired.
Seeing that Annan Town was close at hand, Ren Qing simply took the Husky back into the prison in his belly.
Huang Ziwan was not too surprised. The other party's mustard space method had already been shown occasionally in the disaster relief restricted area.
Lu Xiaoyu was completely numb and closed her mouth without wanting to speak.
She learned from Lin Cheng that it was not long ago that Ren Qing became a jailer.
Being promoted to the Ghost Envoy realm in a short period of time is surprising enough, but compared to the various spells Ren Qing has displayed, it's not just about his outstanding talent.
However, she noticed that even during her leisure time on the road, Ren Qing was in a state of cultivation, and suddenly it was not so difficult to accept...
Sometimes the gap is so big that people can't even feel jealous.
Ren Qing didn't pay attention to the reactions of the two people, and just kept observing Annan Town.
He found that the houses here were different from those in Sanxiang City in that their structures were mainly made of wood.
It should be a habit that evolved from the fact that there were few rocks around and there was no interest in making bricks.
It can be seen that even a town with a large population of mortals can form different living customs after decades or hundreds of years of closed development, let alone between regions.
Jingzhou and Xiangxiang are the best examples, so it is difficult to imagine the condition of the animal pen where the supreme demon is entrenched.
It was already dusk.
Ren Qing and others were just about to walk into Annan Town when suddenly a sparrow landed on their shoulders.
A soft female voice sounded in my ears, it was clearly Mu Yi who had performed some kind of magic.
"Since you have arrived in Annan Town early, you must be careful."
"Don't leave the house at night..."
After the sparrow chirped, it flew away, leaving only the confused Ren Qing and the others, who looked at each other without speaking.
We are now in Annan Town. If there is anything weird as Mu Yi said, then we have to pay attention to every word and action.
But after all, it involves the jailer's hall, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Ren Qing walked into the town first, and Huang Ziwan and the others quickly followed.
The strange thing is that none of the guards except Mu Yi showed up, and you can still vaguely feel the eyes peeping from behind.
Almost all the people in Annan Town are engaged in farming, and their expressions are also somewhat wary.
Ren Qing didn't wait to go far.
Immediately, a police officer came to question them, but after they showed their jailer badges, the police officers respectfully moved out of the way.
After arriving at a street with fewer passers-by, Ren Qing couldn't help but ask softly: "Old Huang, what is going on here?"
Huang Ziwan shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. Is it really because I arrived a few days early?"
“What’s up with the ribs in the flower field?”
Huang Ziwan thought for a moment and said: "You should also know that the Prisoner's Hall has performed spiritualism three times, during which large quantities of Bianhua flowers were planted."
"From then on, Ksitigarbha's ribs suddenly grew out of the ground, forming a complementary and mutually supportive symbiosis with the Bana flower."
"Sudden……"
Ren Qing was deeply surprised.
He originally thought it was a method of Yin difference, so that he could use the remaining soul to water the flowers of the other side, but now it seems that it is a coincidence.
Huang Ziwan said casually: "There is a rumor in the Jailer's Hall that although the souls obtained through spiritualism are often evil, they inadvertently revived Ksitigarbha's consciousness."
Ren Qing nodded slightly.
He always felt that it was not that simple, and the soul-calling in the Jailor Hall definitely had ulterior motives.
Sweat broke out on Lu Xiaoyu's forehead. Hearing such an incredible thing, the words coming from the two people's mouths seemed to be extraordinarily reasonable.
She was in a state of confusion and accidentally bumped into an old woman selling rice candy.
The old woman almost fell to the ground, but Lu Xiaoyu quickly picked her up with quick eyes and hands.
"Are you okay, aunt?"
"it's okay no problem……"
The old woman walked away with a weird smile on her face, spilling a few rice candies in the basket, and her walking posture was very stiff.
Lu Xiaoyu took out some money and was about to give it to the old woman, but was stopped by the serious-faced Huang Ziwan with his hand.
"Lu Xiaoyu, what are you doing?!"
"There is a mother-in-law..."
Just when Lu Xiaoyu was about to tell the two of them, he found that the rice candy on the ground had disappeared, and the so-called old woman was nowhere to be seen when he looked up.
Ren Qing frowned after hearing this, and he also noticed Lu Xiaoyu's strange behavior.
Perhaps because he didn't actively use Double Eyes, he only noticed a blurry shadow.
Huang Ziwan looked gloomy and walked quickly towards the inn.
There were not many inns in Annan Town, and the location was relatively remote. By the time they found one, the sunset was almost setting below the horizon.
Stepping through the threshold, the innkeeper came over and said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel, each person has a room."
Huang Ziwan put some money on the counter, which was enough for them to stay for four or five days. Of course, the daily meals would need to be calculated separately.
"Okay, please come inside."
The shopkeeper didn't care about their origins. After brushing off the dust on several people's bodies with a rag, he led them towards the second floor.
Huang Ziwan glanced at Ren Qing and the two of them, and asked seemingly casually: "Shopkeeper, are there any taboos in Annan Town?"
The shopkeeper paused for a few breaths and said, "Maybe you outsiders don't know that decades ago we didn't like to go out when we were ugly."
He smiled and continued: "It's hard to say exactly why, but this is the custom in the town."
The shopkeeper came to the end of the corridor on the second floor. There were many guest rooms connected to both sides, but they were relatively deserted. Only the three of them stayed.
Ren Qing noticed a bronze mirror hanging on the wall, which seemed to be a folk magic weapon specially used to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
If you look carefully, the magic weapon is not ordinary.
Huang Ziwan thanked the shopkeeper, who pretended to clean the room and left.
After he left, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "What happened to that old woman? I did have contact with her."
Huang Ziwan frowned and said: "The other shore flower can attract the remnant souls to come closer. It should be fine after it blooms completely."
Ren Qing added: "I'm afraid only monks can come into contact with the remnant soul during the day, and ordinary people may encounter it when they are ugly."
"You can see what happens when Annan Town gets ugly at night."
Lu Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At least there was no life-threatening danger. As long as he stayed inside the house, he would be fine.
Ren Qing walked to the window, and the ghost gradually separated from the main body and looked outside.
You can indeed notice some remaining souls living in the shadows of the streets, and usually they will dissipate in half a day.
It is impossible for the remnant soul to harm a mortal. Even if it comes into contact with Yang Qi, it will be burned and turned into invisible smoke.
The main reason why the Jailer Hall maintains the status quo of Annan Town may be that the Flower of the Other Shore needs residual souls as nutrients to water it.
But what happens when you are ugly is also a question worthy of further study.
Ren Qing returned to the guest room to rest. He sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated on the spell.
As time passed, the neighborhood became quieter.
Wait until the ugly time approaches.
The divided soul came out of the body again, and the originally quiet night suddenly became extremely noisy.
He looked out through the window.
Ren Qing was stunned for a moment, everything in front of him seemed to be in the underworld.
The remnant souls are wandering the streets unconsciously. Their appearance is inseparable from the state of death, and most of them are old people.
Ren Qing had no intention of attracting them, and simply hung in the air and looked down at Annan Town.
It is indeed rare to see a scene where humans and ghosts coexist.
Most of the remnant souls have lost their intelligence, and they muddleheadedly repeat the actions they performed during their lives.
Little bits of rain fall.
The remnant souls were affected by an inexplicable influence, and suddenly gathered and merged with each other, and then pieced together a terrifying-looking tiger ghost.
The tiger ghost tore at its prey wantonly, and its body swelled accordingly.
Ren Qing felt a little confused.
Existences like ghost tigers can become more terrifying by devouring the remaining souls, and even the scorching sun during the day may not be able to kill them.
And as for the jailer, why didn't he take action?
At this time, the ghost image separated from the main body and seemed a little ready to move.
When Ren Qing saw this, his thoughts moved, and the ghost shadow immediately walked along the wall to the street, and quickly rushed towards the ghost tiger.
The ghost tiger is still hunting the remnant souls, and by the time it realizes the existence of the ghost shadow, it is already too late.
The shadow ghost wraps around the ghost tiger like a giant python. No matter how hard the latter struggles, it is useless, and it quickly absorbs the opponent.
Ren Qing could feel that both the shadow ghost's body and the Tiandao worms in his body were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But when he wanted Shadow Ghost to continue looking for similar ghosts, the latter started to tremble.
Then the shadow ghost took the initiative to return to his original body.
Ren Qing's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Annan Town was full of weird things.
Why allow a large number of remnant souls to gather?
If the ghost shadow can take advantage of this, maybe the netherworld's function can reach the level of Qi training, and the shadowless ghost can also go one step further.
Ren Qing's ghost chose a remote corner to avoid sudden changes.
Huang Ziwan and the two remained calm, closing their eyes in the room and waiting for the ugly moment to pass.
At this moment, Ren Qing noticed three or four people quietly walking through the street.
It can be seen from their appearance that they should be wealthy businessmen in Annan Town. They are all wearing brocade clothes and jewelry.
Because their bodies were mortal, wealthy businessmen didn't notice the remnant souls at all, and even crushed a few of them with Yang Qi as they passed by.
They only felt a little cold at midnight and subconsciously wrapped their coats tightly.
As we get closer to our destination, the faces of wealthy businessmen are full of pious enthusiasm, and not far away is a dilapidated Taoist temple.
Ren Qing's ghost followed him and watched from a distance with his double eyes.
I hope to find out what is going on in Annan Town.
