The old ghost said that it was from Changfeng Jingfeng Village, named Zhang Yougen, who died in 195 at the age of eighty-nine. After it died, for some reason, the ghosts from the underworld never came to collect it.
I wandered around my graveyard and talked to my "neighbors" every day, which was quite fun.
After several years of this, there was still no ghost coming to the door. Although he had those "neighbors" to play with him every day, as time went by, the old ghost began to feel a little bored and complained that he wanted to be reincarnated as soon as possible.
I want to be a human again, but the ghosts never come to take me down.
When the "neighbors" heard this, they all said to it, what's wrong with being a ghost? You can be free and free every day, and you can do whatever you want, and people will send tributes to support you every day. If you reincarnate, you will have to suffer the consequences of the human world.
It was painful, and in the end I was covered in bruises. And, are you sure you can be reincarnated as a human? What if you are a pig? Then you will be slaughtered if you don’t live for a few months, or you’d better be a ghost with us honestly.
The old ghost sighed and said, huh, you really want to be reincarnated, but you all died violently, but your resentment is too heavy, so you can't do it? You want to seduce me to stay here with you, but there is no way.
The "neighbors" said to him, if you can be reincarnated, why haven't ghosts come to take you in after so many years? It would be better to be a lonely ghost like us, and everyone can be happy and carefree together.
ah.
Finally, the old ghost didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he went back to his "home" and continued to wait for the ghost messenger to come.
Just like this, several more years passed, and the old ghost still didn't wait for the arrival of the ghost messenger. It thought, maybe the underworld has forgotten itself, and if it continues to wander around the world like this in boredom every day, it might as well find a Taoist priest to beat it up.
Forget it if your soul is gone.
But one day, it suddenly heard a conversation between two "neighbors".
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that several people were shot in the city."
"Tch, you don't know how chaotic the world is now. Why is it so strange that a few people have died?"
"No, let me tell you, after those people died, ghosts saw them with their own eyes and sent ghosts to escort them away."
"Damn, you're boring. Is this weird?"
"Yes, it's very strange. Do you think they are ordinary ghosts? Let me tell you, it was the two adults, Black and White, who came to escort them personally."
"What?! Black and White Wuchang actually came to visit our little place?! Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Absolutely true."
…
"What are you talking about?!" When the old ghost heard that a ghost messenger had come, and it was still black and white, he was very excited. He rushed out of his "home" door and interrogated the two ghosts.
Then, the old ghost learned from them that Black and White Wuchang had been here several times recently, including the night before yesterday.
After listening to what they said, the old ghost immediately decided to find Black and White Wuchang and let them take him to be reincarnated.
At night, after the Yang Qi receded, the old ghost left his "home" and drifted toward the city.
When it arrived in the city, it asked other ghosts if they had seen the black and white impermanence. The answers they got were all negative.
Next, the old ghost spent several days inquiring about the whereabouts of the ghost, but could not find it. Finally, it sat on a hillside in a daze, sighing in despair, that it really didn’t want to be a ghost anymore, and wanted to experience being a ghost again.
Once there were people, but no ghost messenger came to collect them.
Just when it felt helpless, two figures, one black and one white, suddenly flashed before its eyes, drifting towards a forest.
The old ghost reacted immediately. Although the two figures were already far away, it was sure that they were Black and White, so it chased after them as fast as possible, but no matter how hard it chased, it couldn't catch up, because Black and White were impermanent.
The speed is really much faster than that.
After chasing for a while, Black and White Wuchang suddenly escaped into the woods and then disappeared.
The old ghost stopped, looked at the place where they disappeared, and then shouted, "Masters Black and White, please take the little one to be reincarnated."
But no one responded to it. Apart from itself, there was not even a ghost in the huge forest, let alone anyone.
Just when the old ghost wanted to go around and see if he could find the black and white impermanence, suddenly, the surrounding scene began to flash with electric ripples, and then a crack appeared out of thin air, sucking it in.
By the time it reacted, it had already arrived at this place. When the old ghost first came, he found that there were already countless ghosts here. The new one was immediately bullied by the ghosts. It wanted to escape from this place, but it couldn't.
It knows how to escape, but it has been looking for it, but it can't find a way out. Moreover, every time it wants to get out of the woods, it will always be bounced back by an inexplicable force. The old ghost
I saw a huge stone altar deep in this strange forest. It wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but as soon as it got close, it was suppressed by an inexplicable energy. If it insisted on continuing to get closer, it would be stabbed all over its body.
It hurts, and I feel like I am about to lose my soul.
It asked the friendly ghosts, and then realized that so many ghosts here came here earlier than it did. Some of them arrived here during the Qin Dynasty and have been trapped here for more than two thousand years. This
They remembered every corner of the woods clearly and couldn't find a way out at all. Also, the stone altar was not allowed to be approached. There had been a ghost trying to kill someone. They ignored the advice and rushed there, but they just encountered it.
On the verge of losing consciousness.
The old ghost asked, is there no way to get out of here? After hearing this, all the ghosts shook their heads helplessly and said, if they can get out, they will get out. Although they are ghosts, no one wants to stay in this ghost place.
But despite this, the old ghost did not give up the idea of leaving here. It kept wandering around the woods, trying to see if a miracle would happen.
Because this place is always the same hazy blood color, with no distinction between day and night, it can't remember how long it has been wandering around, anyway, it has been a long time.
Once, when the old ghost was sitting under a tree in a daze, he suddenly saw the black and white figures again, standing on the stone altar. It immediately reacted and shouted, these are not the two big black and white figures.
Sir, they are here.
It yelled like this, but it attracted the attention of Black and White Wuchang. The old ghost vaguely saw that they looked at each other, and then they didn't know what they were talking about.
Then, Black and White Wuchang took the mourning sticks in their hands and hammered the stone altar with each other, then flew away.
This time, the old ghost chased the two people desperately, saying that he could not let them leave like this, at least he had to take him with him. It chased them while calling them. But Black and White Impermanence seemed not to be there
Hearing nothing, he just kept flying and ignored the old ghost at all.
Finally, the old ghost followed them and flew to the place where it first entered. The old ghost accelerated desperately and was about to catch up, but the black and white two actually drew the mourning stick in their hands in the air.
, a crack appeared and then disappeared.
The old ghost was desperate. He didn't expect that he just wanted to take the initiative to find a ghost to take him to reincarnation, but he didn't expect that he would be trapped here and unable to get out.
Later, some new ghosts would come here every year. Because they were too boring, they always liked to ask those new ghosts about how the outside world was. There were also some living people who would come here, but they were all ignored.
They were killed because they were thinking that since you are here, sooner or later you will become a ghost like us. It is better to be freed early and suffer less from hunger and thirst.

After the old ghost finished speaking, he continued to kowtow to me and beg me to spare him. But I suddenly thought of something and immediately told him to stop kowtowing, "You seemed to have said just now that your name is Zhang Yougen, right, and where are you from?"
?!"
"Reply to the Taoist priest, the younger one's name is indeed Zhang Yougen, and he is from Changfeng Jingdingfeng Village."
Oh my god! This old ghost is my great-grandfather. Why is he here, kowtowing to his great-grandson? Think about it, I just slapped him so many times. It’s a sin, a sin.
I just suddenly remembered that my great-great-grandfather was Zhang Yougen, and the address was correct. I panicked and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to him.
