Shi Changxuan bought a train ticket. The front troops said that they chased Pei Xiaoshan to a small county near the provincial capital. There was no high-speed rail station, so they could only buy a train ticket and they might even have to change trains.
The two got on the train. Xie Lingya was sitting by the window, and two aunties were sitting opposite. They both had wooden dolls hanging on their bodies, and they pointed and said they didn’t know what kind of fashion this was.
Xie Lingya was immersed in fiddling with a few sticks and making predictions, but he was new to it and just wanted to relieve his worries.
It was already night in the second half of the journey. Xie Lingya was dozing off against the window when he suddenly heard the aunt opposite shouting. Hearing it, he woke up, “What?”
The aunt pointed at the window and said, “The window was knocked just now. From outside!”
The originally frightened passengers all looked bored, “Maybe they touched a branch.”
The aunt looked suspicious, “No, it seems…” She tapped her hand twice, and then confirmed, “That’s right, with such a sound, how could the branches touch the car?”
“Is there a mountain monkey on the car?” Someone murmured.
“No, it’s really wrong.” The aunt called the train attendants and asked them to check. The windows in the carriage could not be opened. The train attendants were speechless and went to other places to open the windows and look around, and then used a flashlight when they came back, they took a look outside.
“There is really nothing. We are in the wilderness and there are still twenty minutes until the next station.” The train attendant replied politely.
The aunt then sat down.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan remained silent, only looking at each other clearly.
After a while, the aunt was half asleep and half awake, and the window rang twice again. Xie Lingya happened to be awake and stared outside. There he saw a red face surrounded by hair outside the window.
He looked at this thing and calmly drew a spiritual official talisman out of thin air through the car window, adding a Lingguang Jue as well.
The guy let out a vague scream and fell down.
The aunt woke up suddenly. This time, not only her, but also her companions and several passengers nearby heard the scream. Even the sound of knocking on the glass just now was heard.
“Didn’t I tell you -” the aunt stood up in horror, “What was that just now?” It was really weird at night.
The plot of a horror movie came to mind. Even if some people didn’t believe it, they were still confused by the aunt’s expression.
At this time, Xie Lingya also stood up and said embarrassedly: “I’m sorry, it was me just now, my friend stepped on my foot.”
Everyone: “…”
Auntie: “…”
“I’m really sorry, I will definitely not call out again.” Xie Lingya said apologetically.
And then, there was indeed no sound of knocking on the glass. It was just an insignificant mountain ghost. Although he didn’t know what was happening this year, around the provincial capital, even in the wild, he didn’t know where the mountain ghost came from. It was not like these were deep mountains and old forests.
Xie Lingya only thought for a moment, then heard Liu Lingtong say in his ear: “The Yin soldiers lie down, and all the ghosts follow. When you see the water, you will rely on the locust tree, and when you encounter the temple, you will hide from disaster.”
What did this mean?
Xie Lingya was stunned and whispered to Shi Changxuan. Shi Changxuan thought for a while without understanding.
The Reporting God would not make predictions without reason, but Xie Lingya really didn’t understand what he said. What followed was like an early warning, dark soldiers, and ghosts. Were these referring to Pei Xiaoshan or himself?
Xie Lingya couldn’t help but say: “Baby, can you speak the vernacular?”
Liu Lingtong: “…”
Xie Lingya: “Did that bast**d Pei Xiaoshan attract ghosts again?”
Liu Lingtong cried loudly, “I, I only know this much, I can’t do it anymore… I can’t figure it out…”
Liu Lingtong was much better than at the beginning. When he met Pei Xiaoshan, he couldn’t say a word. There were too many variables. And now the future predicted by Liu Lingtong was also very vague. It was worried and anxious, and almost speechless.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t cry. It’s not a big deal. We’ll deal with it as we see it.” Xie Lingya comforted Liu Lingtong.
The Phytophthora God snorted sourly in Shi Changxuan’s ear. He could also report these things. The only difference between him and Liu Lingtong was that he was not hanging on Xie Lingya’s shoulders.
Liu Lingtong was still sobbing when Xie Lingya got off the train. They got into the taxi. According to the tips from their peers, it should be in the mountains in the suburbs. This was not surprising. Mountains belonged to the yin category, so Pei Xiaoshan always went into the mountains whenever he wanted to do something.
Liu Lingtong finally stopped crying, but he still blamed himself for not detecting any important information.
“You really don’t have to blame yourself.” Xie Lingya couldn’t help but say it out loud.
Taxi driver: “Huh?”
Liu Lingtong suddenly became very excited and said loudly: “He wants to take a detour!”
At this time, the Phytolacca God also shouted: “We have to turn left at the next intersection!”
The driver was planning to turn right, but Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan said, “Don’t take a detour.” The other said, “Don’t turn right ahead, turn left.” The driver was startled.
Aren’t these two foreigners?
Moreover, he had just had the idea, and before he could actually turn his hand off the steering wheel, he was stopped. It was so shocking.
The driver quickly smiled and said, “No way, I didn’t plan to take a detour.”
The driver was exposed once and drove to the destination honestly.
Liu Lingtong regained his fighting spirit because he helped his master save fare, and Phytolacca god also became more energetic because he helped others save fare…
….
The mountain air in the small county town was strong. He didn’t know whether it had always been like this or whether it became like this after Pei Xiaoshan came.
Xie Lingya changed his mind and called in the local Yin soldiers. He saw two ghosts quickly appearing in front of him. They cupped their fists and said in a panic: “Master, forgive me, there are only two of us. The other brothers are everywhere asking for ghosts.”
“What?” Xie Lingya was confused. Were there ghosts everywhere?
The strongman said: “Suddenly there are ghosts appearing all over this county, which makes us exhausted.”
Xie Lingya thought how he was being good on the train, and suddenly there was a mountain ghost, “It must be that bast**d Pei Xiaoshan.”
Pei Xiaoshan had the Du Gong seal in his hand, as long as he thought that if he poked it here and covered it there, he would arouse all kinds of mountain ghosts. He also released all these ghosts and monsters to disturb the view.
He didn’t know if this was the case, but anyway, he could only borrow two strongmen from the county’s office. It was not appropriate to cross the border and call the strongmen from other cities.
Fortunately, Xie Lingya still had a way. He just learned the Lushan method and didn’t even think about how to adjust it. Although he had promoted the city god’s seal and could discuss it with the city god, he was in a hurry to get to work, so he immediately put out the command flag and started chanting the mantra.
The position of mage of the Lushan Sect was passed down from generation to generation, and soldiers and horses could also be passed down from generation to generation. Mr. Zhu had a contract with his soldiers and horses. Even after his death, the soldiers and horses did not disperse, which was an advantage for Xie Lingya.
Although he did not have a “contract” with those soldiers and horses, he had the skills passed down from generation to generation by the Lushan Sect and Mr. Zhu’s face. After a while, 20,000 soldiers and horses arrived.
They were originally patrolling around Liu Yuanyun, but they sensed the recruitment of Mr. Zhu’s disciples and left some of them to protect Liu Yuanyuan while all the others came.
These soldiers and horses had all practiced formation forming under the control of Mr. Zhu. They were thus very disciplined and stood in formation in front of Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya didn’t give an order, but didn’t want to show his cowardice. He held a small order flag and hesitated and said: “Everyone is here, turn right, and walk together -“
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Don’t tell me, these are not going to survive. The soldiers and horses who had known each other for many years still understood, so they turned right and walked into the mountains.
“After entering the mountain, we will divide into small teams and search for traces of Pei Xiaoshan.” Xie Lingya described Pei Xiaoshan’s appearance to them, and then the Lushan soldiers and horses immediately divided into small teams of ten and set off in various directions.
The two underworld messengers accompanied Xie Lingya to protect him.
….
Those who were chasing Pei Xiaoshan before now were no longer reachable by phone. They didn’t know if they had found the person or if their cell phone signal was out of service.
Liu Lingtong nervously sensed what was going on in the forest and tried to point out the direction of Pei Xiaoshan, but he could only give a rough estimate of the southeast direction.
That was enough. Xie Lingya ordered the soldiers and horses to go southeast as well, and he and Shi Changxuan climbed the mountain one step at a time.
The sound of rushing water came, and a small river appeared in front of Xie Lingya’s eyes. He thought of Liu Lingtong’s prophecy and was about to say something. The two ghosts who were originally floating suddenly fell down and whispered: “There is a ghost… The Ghost King…”
They were also ghosts, but they just ran errands at the City God’s Temple, and they really couldn’t afford to offend the Ghost King at this level. As the name suggested, the Ghost King was a very powerful ghost and was only one step away from becoming a ghost immortal. If it weren’t for Du Gong Seal, Pei Xiaoshan might not be able to control them.
Pei Xiaoshan summoned the ghost kings from all directions. The ghost king was here, and Pei Xiaoshan should not be far away. Xie Lingya cheered up and started to pull out his sleeves.
Shi Changxuan held him back, “The ghost kings in the four directions each have their own things, but if someone can gather them together, they will rely on each other and double their strength. We cannot face such a hard enemy here, otherwise we will not be able to reach Pei Xiaoshan.”
Xie Lingya was still confused about the ghost king. What was the specific level of strength? At this time, Xie Lingya suddenly felt that a thousand soldiers and horses suddenly lose their senses.
His heart suddenly sank. Could it be that they were swallowed by the ghost king? He quickly ordered other soldiers and horses to avoid it.
The strongmen also summoned the people and said: “Here he comes, he comes.”
“See the water!” Shi Changxuan took out a piece of blue paper from his arms, cut out two little blue people, and pasted them on Xie Lingya and himself, and then pushed him, “Stop talking!”
There was a locust tree growing by the water. Xie Lingya reminded Shi Changxuan and they both hugged the locust tree.
Just as he finished, he saw a ghost figure about two people tall floating in the shadow of the trees. Except for being extra tall, he looked like a normal person in every aspect, except that his eyes were blood red and there were no pupils. He should be one of the ghost kings.
When the Ghost King saw the strongmen, he floated over. The two strongmen also knew what to do, and immediately ran back with strange cries to lure the Ghost King away.
As soon as the Ghost King appeared, Xie Lingya felt a sense of oppression that he had never experienced before, and a cold feeling swept through his body. Fortunately, he didn’t want to fight hard just now. He estimated that even if he could defeat the Ghost King, he would still end up as weak as last time.
Fortunately, with the transformation spell of Shi Changxuan, the little blue paper was like a little ghost. If you stick it to your body and lean on the locust tree, the ghost will have an illusion and cannot see them. They would think it is just the locust tree that had too much yin energy. He felt like there would be mountain ghosts under the locust trees. As for Liu Lingtong and Phytolacca God, they were originally wood spirits, so they were easier to hide.
Xie Lingya had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly there was a sudden coldness around him. Instead of chasing the strongmen, the Ghost King floated back.
“…” Xie Lingya couldn’t help but hold his breath and didn’t dare to move. The wind in the mountain blew gently, and he was afraid that the small blue paper would blow away, so he only looked at Shi Changxuan with his eyes.
Shi Changxuan leaned against another locust tree and remained motionless, using his eyes to signal Xie Lingya to calm down.
The Ghost King seemed to sense that something was wrong. He circled around a few times and stared at Xie Lingya with his red eyes. He suddenly floated over and looked around with his eyes.
Xie Lingya felt like there was a sea of blood in his eyes, which made his eyes hurt and made him feel chilly in his heart. If he had been a less courageous person, he would probably have peed out on the spot.
Xie Lingya didn’t know how many things he found wrong, so he stiffened and allowed him to look at him.
The Ghost King’s neck suddenly stretched his neck out, reaching a length that was impossible for humans. His head moved horizontally in front of Xie Lingya, with a hint of suspicion in his tone, “Huh? What is it?”
After all, he was the Ghost King. Although the Substitution Technique that came out had no obvious flaws, he felt something was wrong and refused to leave, keeping looking at it.
Xie Lingya was sweating. He was not afraid of being strong, but this look was too scary. Those eyes were almost pressed against him.
The Ghost King narrowed his eyes – at this moment, a thin voice said with a cry: “Yes, it’s me. Hello, my king.”
