Wu Qiudao suddenly scratched He Qiong's face, took off the gandharva's disguise, revealed He Qiong's original face, and said, "Yes, we are mortals!"
He Qiong was stunned for a moment: "You..."
Even the four rich men and ghosts were confused by Wu Qiudao's behavior. The leading priest asked: "How could a mortal..."
Wu Qiudao pulled off the illusion disguise of Asura on his face, revealing Zhang Tianqin's face, and bowed flatteringly to say hello: "Thank you for your hard work, elders. I am the ghost general Zhang Tianqin. I have just returned from duty in the mortal world to report on my duties. How many of you have I met?" An elder!"
"Zhang Tianqin? Who?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"I think I've seen him."
"have you seen?"
"Well, he should be a low-level ghost member of the Duowen tribe in the south. He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has always been taught by the Bu Ta leader as a negative example. Didn't he know when he was promoted to a ghost general?"
"It doesn't matter, he is still a semen-eating ghost!"
Wu Qiudao's lips twitched when he heard this. These wealthy individuals were really making unscrupulous comments. "啖精鬼" is a derogatory name for the lower-level members of the Bisheze Sect. It usually refers to the ghosts, and sometimes it also refers to the ghosts. The ghosts will be involved, and they won't lower their voices when they say bad things about people.
After the discussion, the leader, Fu Dan, spat on the ground, and a stench hit his face: "Just go and report your work. Why are these two brats blocking the way?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Qiudao nodded and bowed. He knew in his heart that these hungry ghosts had been deeply polluted by heretics. No matter which "Hungry Ghost Maha Wheel Sutra" they practiced, their physical bodies were almost rotten now, with only one left. He is skin and bones, so he smells so bad. After all, the literal translation of "Fudan Nagui" in Mandarin is actually "stinky hungry ghost".
Seeing that the two men had retreated behind the corner, the four rich men continued to stagger, crouched and carried the coffin away. In fact, these priests had left earlier than them, and Wu Qiudao and the two of them could not block the way of the coffin-carrying team. , only when the two roads converge at a Y-shaped intersection, the two sides will see each other.
The coffin-carrying team continued to move forward and passed by the intersection in front of the two of them. The coffin made of a huge skeleton had no cover. The sesame oil in the coffin gave off a strong fragrance, covering up the smell of the corpse. Wu Qiudao sharply saw the stuffing inside. holding the body of a woman.
Her face is pale, and her head is covered with thick black curls like poppy flowers. The curly hair is spread on the back of her head, like the fire pattern and round light behind the Buddha statue. Even death cannot take away her fragrant, warm and soft beautiful temperament, as if She was just sleeping, as if she would open her eyes and wake up the next moment.
It can be seen just from the astonishing beauty and majestic aura that the corpse retains after death that this is the corpse of a goddess. She may have been a noble of Balen Fuyi during her lifetime. It is even said that she was the product of a god who had sex with a god. His heir Wu Qiudao would not find it strange either.
He Qiong couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
The four wealthy ghosts stopped, and then turned to look at the two of them. Their faces were hidden behind silver masks, but Wu Qiudao could still feel their eyes as sharp as knives.
The leading priest suddenly chuckled: "Zhang Tianqin, is this the newcomer you brought?"
Wu Qiudao forced a smile: "Yes, the young general will definitely teach her these basic knowledge in the future."
The chief priest nodded and then said: "Little girl, I will teach you something today! This goddess is named Shanyue Jida, and she has a great background. Her father is Jakander, the king of the Western Qunu Kingdom.
"
"The Kingdom of Qunu and our Kingdom of Magadha have always been at odds with each other, but for some reason this Princess Shanyuejida secretly made a secret promise to our city lord Viraja of Balenfu. This greatly angered King Jakand."
"So Jakand held a marriage recruitment meeting, summoning the princes and immortal officials and generals from the surrounding countries, and asked Shanyue Jida to choose one as her husband. Only the Lord of Virajaya was excluded, and a Virajaya was established.
His statue was placed in the assembly as a shame.”
"Princess Shanyue Jida faced many princes and immortal generals, but she didn't choose any of them. She only walked to the statue and put a garland on the neck of the statue."
"Unexpectedly, the Lord of Viraja City came over overnight and hid the secret inside the statue. After the princess put the garland on it, he jumped out of the statue and took Princess Shanyuejida with her to start her escape."
"After going through many dangers, the two lovers finally got together and got married in Balenfu."
"It's a pity that the good times did not last long. After a border war between the Qunu Kingdom and the Magadha Kingdom, the Lord of Viraja City was seriously injured and died. The princess quickly fell into depression and soon followed her husband in death."
"She died very suddenly and mysteriously, and her appearance was not damaged at all. Doctors have not yet found out the specific cause. Some people think that she committed suicide in love; others think that she regretted leaving her father and losing her husband.
She died of depression; others view her as the victim of some evil spell cast by King Jakande."
"But it doesn't matter anymore. She is lying in this coffin now. She is about to escape this sad fate and enter the Buddha's kingdom of the Hungry Ghost King through the charnel house!"
He Qiong was surprised: "So she is a princess? You all dare to take the body of a princess of a country..."
The leading priest interrupted He Qiong's words: "I'm afraid that the King of Qunu Kingdom can't reach Balian Fuyi. In the Kingdom of Magadha, this is a legal system and a custom! Even the king and nobles are the same!"
"Everyone who died in Balenfuyi belongs to the King of Hungry Ghosts!" Another priest emphasized, "Outsiders are no exception! The black throat of the charnel house is always wide open, and no one, regardless of gender, old or young, can escape.
Get through its bloody mouth!"
"The Hungry Ghost King Buddha is higher than all kings, and her rules are holy laws! All mortal bodies must become the food of gods when the time comes!"
"Understood!" Wu Qiudao responded cheerfully, "Thank you, elders, for your advice! I have thanked all the elders on behalf of the little girl!"
The leading priest frowned and looked at the playful Wu Qiudao, waved his hand, and the four of them continued to move forward.
Wu Qiudao quickly asked: "Actually, I also need your advice on some places. Do you elders know where there is a secret passage leading to Chang'an on earth nearby?"
The ghosts of Fudan stopped again, and the leader frowned and asked: "If you want to go to the human world, go back to the charnel house. There are many passages connecting the heavens there, but aren't there only a few passages in the human world? What secret passage are you looking for?
?”
Wu Qiudao scratched his head: "Hey, hey, what the elder taught you is, but this time we were tracking the mission target, but we lost the clue nearby. The guy's home base is in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, so we guess that there may be a route leading to Chang'an nearby.
Secret passages."
Fudan asked curiously: "Who are you chasing?"
Wu Qiudao and He Qiong looked at each other, as if there was a way!
