Li Xiuyuan and four guards lit a bonfire in the haunted house and waited for the ghosts and gods here to arrive.
It is impossible for him to let others live in his place just because he is afraid of ghosts and gods, and besides, he is not afraid of ghosts and gods. Since the living and the dead want to live in the same place, he naturally has to reason with the ghosts and gods who live here.
In addition to the ghosts lighting up the lights, at this time, waves of sinister wind carrying the smell of incense blew up, and then I saw groups of soldiers wearing armor, holding swords and guns, walking in uniform steps along the deserted street in the distance.
It turned out that a group of Yin soldiers were flying over holding ceremonial guards, flags, wooden signs and other objects.
"The ghosts turned on the lights and the Yin soldiers opened the way. This scene is comparable to that thousand-year-old bat demon in the underworld." Li Xiuyuan frowned and took a look.
The Yin soldiers stopped outside the mansion and stood beside them, motionless and well-trained.
At this moment, an old ghost sang: "The king has returned to his home."
Accompanied by bursts of strong and weak drumming sounds, four ghost horses from the underworld pulled an exquisite and luxurious carriage slowly. There was a wind chime tied to one end of the carriage. As the carriage moved, the wind chimes made a pleasant sound.
I don’t know how far it traveled in the dark night.
Hearing the ringing, the people nearby would know that either a Taoist priest exorcising ghosts was passing by on the street outside, or a ghost spirit was passing by and they needed to avoid it.
This is a very traditional rule and a means of dealing with humans and ghosts.
"Your Majesty, the palace has arrived. Please get off the carriage." An old ghost bent down and smiled flatteringly, and said from the side of the carriage.
"Hmm." A deep voice sounded from inside the carriage.
Then the curtain of the carriage opened, and a tall, but extremely thin, middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage. This middle-aged man was wearing a Gong robe, with all kinds of hideous and terrifying patterns of the underworld and the emperor's Gong robe painted on it.
The sun, moon, mountains and rivers embroidered on it are completely different. The face is black and blue, not like the skin color of a living person, and the chin has a long beard that hangs down to the chest.
He wears a crown on his head, and jade beads hang down to cover his face.
"Well, why did I smell the breath of a living person, and a living person broke into my palace?" This majestic man, like the emperor of the underworld, frowned and shouted: "Where are the Yin soldiers? Go to the general's palace.
The soul of a living person has been seduced, and I would like to see who is so arrogant and unreasonable as to dare to break into my residence."
"No~!"
The Yin soldiers responded, and immediately more than a dozen Yin soldiers rushed into the mansion.
They immediately discovered Li Xiuyuan and others lighting a bonfire in the front yard.
Immediately, these Yin soldiers armed with chains, swords and guns rushed over unceremoniously, trying to take away the souls of the five people.
"Young master, it's the Yin soldiers. The Yin soldiers are flying over." Wu Fei exclaimed.
He, who was always vicious, started to panic at this time, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"They seduced people indiscriminately when they met. They were so domineering. Ma Dong and Niu Er fought off these evil soldiers." Li Xiuyuan said: "The most taboo thing when dealing with ghosts and gods is fear. Once fearful, people will
The arrogance of ghosts is weak, and the abilities of ghosts and gods can be very powerful. As long as you are determined to fight ghosts, these evil soldiers are no match for you."
"Yes, young master."
Ma Dong and Niu Er took the willow sticks from their waists, pretended to be brave and immediately faced them without showing any fear.
The willow sticks in their hands were greeted fiercely, but the chain in the hand of a flying Yin soldier was instantly broken into two sections with a bang, and then the Yin soldier screamed strangely and flew out, heavily.
fell to the ground.
"Young Master, they are so weak." Ma Dong said in surprise.
Li Xiuyuan said, "It's not that they are weak, it's that you are no longer afraid of ghosts. People are not afraid, and tigers are not bullied, so why not be afraid of small evil soldiers. You can respect ghosts and gods, but you must not be afraid."
After hearing this, the two men's confidence greatly increased, and they greeted each other with willow sticks in their hands. They beat these evil soldiers, throwing away their armor and screaming in agony.
Then a Yin soldier's weapon fell on them, but it was not painful or itchy, and was broken directly.
Li Xiuyuan knew that this was because the courage of blood was aroused. With a burst of blood to kill the enemy, ghosts and gods would retreat. If it were placed on the battlefield, not to mention these Yin soldiers, even the real ghosts and gods would be killed by that.
The atmosphere of fighting and fighting dissipated.
Seeing the bravery of Ma Dong and Niu Er, Li Xiuyuan knew that his two guards had gained experience and could act alone.
Before the call, like Tieshan and Wu Fei, their legs weakened when they saw ghosts and gods.
Of course, Li Xiuyuan didn't blame them. Who made the ancient people think like this, and the fear of ghosts and gods was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In a short time, more than a dozen Yin soldiers were beaten with two willow sticks and fled. A few Yin soldiers were even more unlucky. They were stepped on by Ma Dong and Niu Er and were beaten violently. They wanted to turn into a
Yin Feng escaped, but was suppressed by their aura and couldn't break free.
"Who is so bold as to dare to injure my king's dark soldiers in my palace?" Before Ma Dong and Niu Er could finish fighting, the emperor-like ghost and god could no longer sit still.
But I saw two green will-o'-the-wisps emerging from the darkness, and then I saw a ghost god wearing a robe, a crown on his head, and a black face striding in angrily.
The two green will-o'-the-wisps were actually his green eyes, which were glowing green at the moment, revealing a frightening look.
"Some yin soldiers broke into my mansion and seduced people randomly. It is only natural for me to ask the guards to teach me a lesson. I wonder if I have angered the ghost and god?" Li Xiuyuan stood up at this time, out of courtesy.
He bowed to this ghost and god.
The ghost stared at Li Xiuyuan, as if he wanted to see through his life. However, after looking at it for a while, he was still confused and could not see the identity of the scholar in front of him, so he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
?”
"Li Xiuyuan, a scholar, is from Guobei County." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Scholar Li Xiuyuan? I've never heard of it. You, a little scholar, are so courageous. Do you know who I am?" The ghost and god said majestically.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not very clear? It would be best if this ghost and god could reveal his family name."
The ghost said in a deep voice: "I am King Yama, who is in charge of life and death in the world, and reincarnation in the underworld. This place is one of my palaces in the underworld. You, a mere scholar, dare to occupy the land of Yama. Don't you want to live?"
Seeing that you are ignorant, I am willing to let you go mercifully. As long as you and your guards kowtow to me three times, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will let you die at the third watch, and you will not survive until the fifth watch.
sky."
King of Yama?
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, but then he burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing, a scholar?" the ghost said angrily.
"Haha, King of Yama? Your title of Yama is self-proclaimed, right? If you are really King of Yama, you should have a book of life and death. Do you have a book of life and death in your hand? If you can show it, I will believe you." Li Xiuyuan
smiled.
The originally black and blue face of this ghost and god looked a little ugly for a moment, and he said angrily: "Isn't it possible for a mortal like you to read the book of life and death at will?"
"You look so stern and carefree, it means you don't have a book of life and death. If you don't have a book of life and death, you are not Yama. With your way, you can only be regarded as a ghost king. But you don't have a book of life and death, but I do." After Li Xiuyuan said, suddenly
There is an ancient book in my hand.
There are three big characters written on it: Book of Life and Death.
In the dim environment, the book of life and death seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black light, giving it a somewhat mysterious look.
"Book of Life and Death? This, how is this possible..." The ghost and god's eyes shrank, with a look of shock on his face.
The supreme treasure of the underworld, the Book of Life and Death, would actually appear in the hands of a scholar. This is simply an incredible thing. How could a mere scholar with the status of a scholar afford this Book of Life and Death, which carries the fate of countless people?
?
Li Xiuyuan said: "Nothing is impossible. You, a ghost king, dare to call yourself Yama. What's weird about me having the Book of Life and Death in my hand."
"Hand over the book of life and death, and I will spare your life."
Seeing the Book of Life and Death, this ghost and god lost his composure, and immediately roared, blowing out a terrible evil wind from his mouth. The evil wind swept wildly, and the weeds flew upside down. The little ghost hiding in the weeds was even more unlucky, and he screamed.
His body was blown away and disappeared without a trace. Even the sky was covered by the Yin Qi, and the entire mansion fell into darkness.
The ghostly wind roared, carrying the anger of the Ghost King. At this moment, even the ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers under the Ghost King couldn't help but were affected by the roar, and they were swept to who knows where.
The guards around Li Xiuyuan were startled when they saw this scene, with a look of fear in their eyes. Just when the look of fear was revealed, the four souls were blown out of their bodies and flew backwards.
go out.
The blazing bonfire in front of them changed color instantly, contaminated with strong Yin energy, and turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp, swaying and beating crazily.
When the ghost king is angry, his power is not inferior to that of the gods in the sky.
All the people and ghosts in the mansion were affected. Only Li Xiuyuan stood on the spot, motionless and unaffected by this terrible wind.
"Huhuhu~!"
The strong wind howled for a while before finally calming down.
The long-bearded ghost king just closed his mouth and no longer spit out evil wind. Instead, he looked at Li Xiuyuan coldly and said, "When this king is angry, mortals cannot bear it. It can range from unconsciousness to loss of soul in severe cases. Why are you okay?"
"It's a long story. There used to be a red-haired ghost king in the underworld who yelled at me like this. He should be higher than you, but in the end he couldn't hurt me. It was my four guards.
But they didn't hold on to their thoughts. When they were frightened by you, their souls were weak and blown away by the evil wind. Sure enough, their courage still needs to be tempered. They can deal with the evil soldiers and ghosts, but they still can't face the ghost king like you.
"Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly.
"No matter what fame you have, if you hand over the book of life and death, I can return the souls of your four guards and let you go. Otherwise, you will die today." This tall and bearded ghost king walked towards Li Xiuyuan step by step.
His figure was like a hill, shrouding Li Xiuyuan in shadow.
A huge momentum fell on Li Xiuyuan.
At this time, no one could stand the majesty of this ghost king and was so frightened that they lay on the ground and trembled.
Recently, I heard that Qidian has sealed many books, so it won’t be just me. The author is hiding in the corner and shivering.
