As he got closer, the breath was very unstable. If you listen carefully to the movement, you can feel its panic. Xuan Bao thought a lot, but it only took a while.
Looking secretly, Xuan Bao saw something that looked human and inhuman floating half a foot above the ground through the bed curtain. He said it was a human. It had a human shape, no hair, no facial features, and even no skin. It was red and looked like a floating lump.
Fresh meat, looking very frightened.
At this moment, this piece of meat was floating in Xuanbao's bedroom, searching everywhere. He didn't know what he was looking for, so Xuanbao simply opened his eyes wide and followed it.
The ghost energy, the thick ghost energy, the ghost energy is so powerful, stronger than any ghost I have ever seen before, this ghost energy can even be compared with the Yin energy of ghosts.
Unexpectedly, the excitement came to her room. A sneer appeared on Xuan Bao's lips. She quietly sat up and stared at the piece of meat while warily staring at the open window.
The cool ghost energy condensed into a cold wind and blew in from the window. The piece of meat shivered and was obviously scared. Then it paused for a moment as if it had discovered something and then rushed over.
No! Xuan Bao turned over and jumped up. Who would have thought that the disgusting piece of meat would rush towards the bed.
Across the bed curtain, Xuan Bao quickly grabbed the thin quilt and wrapped it around his feet while stretching out his delicate little feet.
He groaned like a wounded beast, and the piece of red flesh was kicked away by Xuan Bao.
Seeing it flying towards the window, Xuan Bao quickly opened the bed curtain, and saw a pair of black ghost claws with half-foot-long nails clawing at it outside the window.
Wailing, this time a real wail, the piece of red flesh fell back into the house and landed in front of the window.
Xuan Bao looked up and immediately smiled. A scary but familiar face appeared outside the window.
"County Lord, I'm back." After saying that, Old Zhou had already entered the house and stepped on the red meat.
"Old Zhou, you have advanced to become the Ghost King, you are so awesome." Xuan Bao smiled and got off the bed, put on his shoes and walked towards the window.
The ball of red meat was lying on the ground waving its limbs, and the seemingly light old Zhou on it was actually weighing down like a mountain, making it unable to move.
Xuan Bao stepped forward and looked at it: "Old Zhou, what is it?"
"County Master, it's that thing under the lake. As for what it is? I don't know, I really don't know."
"Did you go into the lake?" Xuan Bao looked up at Lao Zhou with concern in his eyes, "Did you see it?"
After lowering his head slightly to cover it up, Lao Zhou raised his head and replied pretending to be relaxed: "I saw it. I tried to open it, but to my surprise I couldn't even get close."
Xuan Bao was asking about Lao Zhou's body that was sunk at the bottom of the lake. He was already a ghost king and had not yet been able to open his body to save himself. This showed that the person who did it was far more capable.
"Believe me, I will definitely help you open the prison at the bottom of the lake and let you regain your freedom."
"Yes, I believe in the County Lord."
Looking at the lump of flesh, Xuan Bao asked: "Can you speak?"
Seeing it shaking its head, Xuan Bao asked again: "Can you understand what we are saying?"
After the thing nodded, Xuanbao pointed at Lao Zhou: "Not only can you see me, you can also see him."
Nodding again, Lao Zhou asked doubtfully: "County Master, this thing is so strange. I feel it has ghostly energy and a lot of messy smells on it."
The messy aura was very similar to the aura of the person in the painting. They were both messy. An idea flashed in Xuan Bao's mind.
"Lao Zhou." Xuan Bao stretched out his hand to pull Lao Zhou away and then flew out the willow whip.
Unexpectedly, the red flesh was extremely sensitive. Just before Lao Zhou's feet left slightly and Xuan Bao's willow whip flew towards him, it struggled to throw out the window.
By the time Xuan Bao and Lao Zhou chased it out, the thing had already run far away and disappeared among the flowers and grass in the blink of an eye.
"Old Zhou, there's no need to chase it, it can't escape."
"County Lord, what are you doing?"
"Don't talk yet. How do you feel?"
Lao Zhou was a little confused after hearing Xuan Bao's words, but he calmed down and couldn't help being surprised: "My cultivation seems to have consumed a lot.",
"It's not consumption, it's just being sucked away by that thing."
"Just when I stepped on it." Lao Zhou understood after thinking about it.
Xuan Bao nodded lightly: "It becomes powerful by swallowing. Because it swallows chaos, it has various auras. I don't know what its body is?"
"County Lord, his body should be human." Lao Zhou hesitated and said.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
It turned out that Lao Zhou advanced to become the Ghost King tonight. He could feel that his cultivation had improved a lot. He was so happy that he did not forget his promise to Xuan Bao and went down to the bottom of the lake in the Hou Mansion overnight.
For many years, Lao Zhou's resentment was the body that was suppressed at the bottom of the lake. When he reached the bottom of the lake, he didn't even have to look for it. There was a strong gravity that naturally led him towards the place where the body was.
Surrounded by bluestone slabs, large iron chains, and formations, Lao Zhou knew the danger, but after pondering for a moment, he still stepped forward.
Without even waiting for Lao Zhou to get closer, he was stopped by the formation and bounced out from the outside.
"I really wanted to think of something, but I was surrounded by a group of water ghosts."
"Water ghosts, water ghosts again. There are too many water ghosts in the capital. Under normal circumstances, they should not appear in crowded places, but should be between mountains and rivers."
Xuan Bao frowned, as if there was something he had overlooked and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he didn't think about it anymore.
"Those were a group of low-level water ghosts. I quickly eliminated them, and then the person just appeared." Lao Zhou continued to tell.
"Why are you sure he is a human being?"
"Because I knew him well when he and I were both human beings."
What Lao Zhou said was really beyond Xuan Bao's expectation. Knowing that he had been dead for so many years, could he still recognize who that lump of red flesh was?
Seeing Xuan Bao's doubts, Lao Zhou explained: "He is Qing'er, and he was a boy serving the old Marquis back then."
"Wait a minute, how did you recognize him as Qing'er?"
"The county magistrate may not have noticed that there is a silver ring on the little toe on its left side."
"This is strange. Why does Qing'er put a silver ring on her little toe?"
"At that time, he accidentally stubbed his toe and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the wound festered and the toe bones were exposed and he had difficulty walking. I found out and called him a doctor."
"Did you get cured later?"
"It's been cured, but the toe bone seems to have been injured so badly that it no longer has any flesh, and only a small bone is left. Although it can't be seen, it has become Qing'er's heartache."
"So you get him a silver ring to cover him up."
"That's right, it's like this."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Lao Zhou shook his head: "It's not a coincidence. I had someone specially make that silver ring, and the word 'Celebration' was specially stamped on it."
"Did you find it when you were at the bottom of the lake?"
"No, I only noticed it just now when he was lying on his stomach and his limbs were dancing around while I stepped on him."
