Chapter 122 This is the great king of the underworld
The old man scratched his neck and looked frightened.
"I don't know either. I feel like I knew it before, but I forgot it again. The ghost is old and his memory is not good... Is the girl a recent deceased?"
"Yes, my family lives in a small mountain village outside the county town. One day I was fetching water from the well in the courtyard. Suddenly I encountered a gangster who wanted to do something wrong. When someone refused, he jumped into the well."
As the female ghost talked, she covered her face and started sobbing... She always takes the blame, and it always works.
All the ghosts around showed sympathy. After asking about the female ghost's family, they all offered words of comfort.
The female ghosts thanked each other one by one, and the topic turned back to the mysterious figure in the small courtyard in the south of the city.
"Although I don't know who that person is, I think he must be an expert in the human world."
"Yes, I passed by the small courtyard in the south of the city many times at night, and I faintly heard someone preaching, and saw a brilliant light covering the small courtyard."
"I heard from an old ghost that Mrs. Chu once revised the life book of a baby girl overnight. But before that, she went to a small courtyard in the south of the city."
"Hiss... Mrs. Chu is already the king of the underworld in Wenhe County. If the person can make Mrs. Chu modify the life book, wouldn't he be the king?"
"In the daytime, I am a living person, enjoying the joy of fireworks in the world. At night, I turn into the king of the underworld, driving away ghosts and monsters, and obeying all orders... What a master he is."
"It's a pity that the laws of the underworld are strict. If I can ask the descendants of Meng to pray to the great king in the small courtyard south of the city, it will definitely benefit future generations."
Listen to the discussions of the ghosts and ghosts.
The female ghost in white nodded thoughtfully, but with a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, she said goodbye and left.
"What a bunch of idiots. It's been so long and they still don't know who lives in the small courtyard in the south of the city?"
"Haha, if I'm not wrong, this great king of the underworld must be the silver monk of the Xu family mentioned by the shopkeeper in Qingchun Tower... and he is also the one who broke my dream."
"Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, it's fine that you don't rely on me and the Chaotic Alliance, but you actually chose to rely on a monk, and your brain was damaged by the wheels of a donkey cart?"
"You have the order to kill monks. If you do this, you are simply seeking your own death."
The female ghost in white flew forward while whispering quietly.
She is not the real body.
It was a clone of the soul that Kongshan's grandmother left behind before she retreated into seclusion, guarding this dream in the dark.
At this time, through various inquiries, she finally figured out the identity of the king in the south of the city. Want to turn around? She informed the main body of the story who had not yet left seclusion.
"Relying on a monk to protect yourself? The Xu family is pretty close..."
"...Huh? Wait? Who is that person's identity?"
The female ghost in white stopped suddenly, a look of trance appeared in her eyes. Then, her heart was shocked.
She clearly remembered that a moment ago, she read out the identity of the "big king" - it seemed a little special, a little tricky, but it had extremely easy to identify characteristics.
But the next moment, she had forgotten all about it.
No matter how hard she racked her brains or meditated, she couldn't recall it.
It was as if someone had cast a spell on me, forcibly erasing this small piece of memory.
"Oops, is it possible that someone performed the spell in advance? To cover up the secret! To prevent the identity of the 'big king' from being exposed?
Who is this 'great king' and what is his identity? A heavenly master? A bad person? A traitor from the Hidden Sect? Or a master of soul energy?
No? It can’t be that simple, there must be a deeper secret!”
The female ghost in white caressed her long hair. After thinking for a moment, she turned around resolutely and returned to Wenhe County.
Not long after? She came to Qingchun Tower again.
I saw the piece of silver that had been offered high.
The banner on it reads - "The Treasure of the Silver Monk with Wonderful Hands".
Suddenly? It dawned on her.
"I understand, that 'big king' in the human world is actually a monk! No wonder he has to use magic to hide the secrets of heaven! Haha, you thought carefully about it, but it's a pity that I met you."
While muttering to herself, she used ghost magic to transform this memory into a letter, gathered it into a cloud of gray smoke, and then hurried out of the county.
But before she could leave Wenhe County, the gray smoke exploded, and the letter containing the truth also turned into ashes.
And her eyes became confused and confused.
"Well, I have forgotten again, what is the identity of that 'big king'?"
The female ghost in white gritted her teeth, hesitated for a long time, and returned to the county again.
On the bank of Shiqiaoliu, several women pouring chamber pots were gathered together, talking in low voices.
"This moon is really weird. It's round when you say it's round, and it's crooked when you say it's round."
"Every time I see it, I can't help but think of the one in the small courtyard in the south of the city."
"Slave too, that monk's head is really round, round and white, I really want to touch it."
"Hey, with that fierce maid here, there's no hope."
The female ghost in white who was hiding aside was listening to the gossip of the girls with great interest when she suddenly realized something.
"Wait a minute, bald... monk... I understand now! That great king who lives in seclusion in the south of the city, isn't he just a monk!"
The female ghost in white licked her lips excitedly.
She was no longer in a hurry to leave the county. She was muttering words, trying to forcefully wake up the owner and report this shocking news.
However, just as she was about to perform the spell, a burst of bells suddenly fell from the sky, as if carrying the will of all living beings in Wenhe County, it enveloped the female ghost in white.
The female ghost in white raised her head and was shocked: "This..."
She suddenly realized that the other party not only concealed the secret, but also cast a spell.
"Anyone who harbors ill intentions towards that monk will be tricked into forgetting his identity as a monk..."
Before she finished speaking, she was surrounded by golden firelight.
The soul clone then disappeared into ashes.
…
Southern China of the Tang Dynasty.
Somewhere between Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road.
The mountains are wide and the rivers are rolling, but there is a palace standing between the mountains and rivers, which is deep, magnificent and beautiful.
It has been shrouded in fog all year round, and although there are villagers near and far who have heard its legend since childhood, only a few can find it.
There are rumors in the countryside that if you can find the Mist Palace, you will be destined to be immortal, or you may stay in the Mist Palace from now on, or you may be given fairy tea by the fairy, you will stay young forever, and you will not grow old for decades.
This night, the full moon hung high, reflecting the mist palace, like accumulated water in the sky.
In the open palace, there are hundreds of transparent humanoid shadows, facing the east and crawling around.
They shook slightly from time to time, and their faces emerged, and they were the faces of snow-white and beautiful women.
I don’t know how long it took, but a faint sigh came from deep in the east side of the palace.
"It's still a little bit close..."
Hearing this, all the female ghosts showed regret on their faces, and immediately kowtowed and worshiped, shouting loudly: "Grandma has great supernatural powers and boundless magical power. I will attain Taiyin and realize the Tao and live forever."
After nine prayers, the female ghosts got up, either whispering to each other or praying in low voices, and soon they all flew away from the hall.
In the cave behind the palace.
A graceful girl in a white dress is sitting cross-legged among the mist. Her eyebrows are beautiful, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her fingers are like lotus blossoms. The artistic conception is profound and far-reaching.
However, there was a cold light in her eyes.
"It's just a little bit close to breaking through the Jiedu Envoy's ban!
That thought never came sooner or later, but it came up at this moment, disturbing me and ruining that moment of enlightenment!
Guangyuan County, Wenhe County, King Nan of the City...who are you?"
