Chapter 74 Someone is raising ghosts?
Following the old man into the ghost town, the surrounding ghosts scattered in all directions, but quickly gathered behind the walls, houses, and broken wooden piles. They stretched out half of their heads and looked carefully to the left. Chen.
Although I have said before that Zuo Chen is not the kind of "monster, slap me!", it is obvious that the stereotype of Taoist priests fighting ghosts still makes these little ghosts afraid to approach Zuo Chen. Chen.
"Hey! You have the courage to order one or two, the old man is a good man!" The old man puffed his beard and glared: "Look, old man, I'm fine, don't I?"
The old man's example is very effective. , and now the little ghosts emerged from behind various covered buildings, looking at Zuo Chen cautiously and cautiously.
In Zuo Chen's eyes, this scene looked a little like "Master Qingtian Enters Goose City", but the difference was that the residents of Goose City would not stick their heads out from the stone piers.
After seeing that Zuo Chen did not do anything and his attitude was indeed gentle enough, the ghosts simply did whatever they wanted.
The streets became lively again, and Zuo Chen rarely took a look at the joy of the ghost town.
He found that the most popular people on the street were storytellers, performers, and stage singers. The three stalls of these three had the most people surrounding them.
But in the ghost town, these entertainment tricks have also changed a lot.
The storyteller's skill will change according to the words. When he talks about a hero killing a thief, his hands will turn into an iron horse. When he talks about a pretty girl, even his face will change accordingly, transforming into a girl's face.
Because the figure performer had no body, he could not do tricks such as crushing rocks with his chest, breathing fire, or thrusting a gun, so he had to saw himself in half along the middle and carry it with two arms. A tiger's legs give rise to wind.
The last opera singer was the most human-like. He sang in a certain way on the stage, causing the ghosts in the audience to cheer and cheer loudly.
If you ignore the green light behind them.
If a mortal with yin and yang eyes came here, he would probably be scared half to death before taking two steps.
Even if the ghosts are completely harmless.
"Taoist Master, it's quite lively here." The old man stroked his beard, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Indeed. Very interesting."
Zuo Chen gave a fair evaluation.
In a normal ghost market, people who eat sneakily and taste food would have to chew human flesh.
The candied haws are made of eyeballs, a bowl of noodles is made of hair, the barbecue is made of thighs, and the street snacks are made of fingers.
However, Xuzhou is too desolate, and there are no living people anywhere. This also leads to these ghosts retaining a breath of their own purity, and over time they turned into such ghost people.
But while it was novel, Zuo Chen also had some doubts in his mind.
What energy do they rely on to survive?
Unless you are redeemed or enter reincarnation, lonely ghosts are wandering in the world and you will definitely need to replenish your energy.
Most wild ghosts cannot absorb the essence of the sun and moon. The easiest "food" for them is living people. This is how evil ghosts can easily hurt people.
How do the ghosts in this city stay in the human world?
Someone uses creation to provide them with energy?
"Besides me, have you seen any other living people here? Which one is more special?"
Hearing this, the old man thought for a while:
"There really was someone here."
One person and one ghost left the bustling street and found a stone chair on the roadside. Zuo Chen sat down, while the old man pretended to sit down. The little ghosts gathered together On the side, he looked around curiously.
A few little ghosts seemed to want to bring up the earthen balls they had eaten, but the old man pulled them back with his hands.
He also cursed a few words: "This is not human food! Don't make trouble here!"
After the little devils were dispersed, the village chief said:
"A handsome guy came here, dressed as a knight, riding a tall white horse. There was a disaster in our city at that time. When he came over, he wanted to ask for water, but we couldn't get it. He walked around the city three times and came back After that, he went to the mansion in the middle of the city and stayed there for an hour. After he came out, he told us not to come near him and then left.
"He was young, and I was quite impressed. He was there at the time. Many older girls stared at him and blushed. "
"Don't you want to go to that house? "Zuo Chen asked. "How could someone come there? We were all starved at that time. After we died and woke up, we couldn't get close to the house. We also felt that there was a golden light next to it, which was very dazzling! ”
The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
Zuo Chen looked in the direction the old man said before.
The center of the city is emitting bursts of golden light of merit.
It is a good item.
But Zuo Chen still asked:
"Then the young hero didn't say anything about not forgetting each other, right?"
"I really said it."
Zuo Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp.
The old man scratched his head: "He said: 'Don't forget each other'."
"..."
If it's not a lie, then this young man and he should not forget each other. It’s definitely not all the way.
I just don’t know which sect this young man belongs to as mentioned by the master at that time.
After confirming that there was no such thing as Wu Xiang Forget in this ghost town, Zuo Chen still felt uneasy. There are indeed too many ghosts here. If there is something to forcibly control ghosts, this city will still suffer.
"Old man, I may have to leave if I rest for a while, but before I leave, I hope you can take me to see the house."
"This is your plan. ?" The old man's face showed some vigilance.
"I'm afraid Xuzhou has not been very peaceful recently. I'm worried that someone might come to arrest ghosts and send generals away, so I plan to build a ghost house for you so that outsiders can't come in. But from what you said, it seems like before A good man has left a treasure, so I plan to go and have a look, so as not to ruin their arrangement.”
Zuo Chen decided to play it safe and reinforce the protective measures himself. Double protection can make this place safer.
Even if there are town objects in the city, it would be safer for him to add an extra layer of protection.
The old man was still a little hesitant.
He looked at Zuo Chen and saw that his attitude was gentle and his words did not seem to be false, so he nodded and agreed.
In fact, the most important thing is that the Taoist priest in front of them must be very capable. They can't stop them even if they want to. The other party has no ill intentions and has a good attitude, so why not obey?
One person and one ghost set out, surrounded by little ghosts following them, some making trouble, some hiding, which was quite cheerful.
The old man was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't drive away these little devils, so he could only let them follow.
However, these ghosts did not follow them for long.
Soon they arrived at the center of the town.
As if a wall had been drawn, the old man and the little devil all stopped at the same time, covering their eyes with their hands, or simply turning their heads away from looking in the direction of the house.
"Taoist Master, the thing is here."
The old man said.
He was still a little nervous, but he had already brought someone here, so the old man didn't say much.
Zuo Chen looked at the mansion in front of him. This mansion was slightly similar to the place where Liu Laizi lived at that time. They were both surrounded by high walls, but the door was open to the outside.
Looking inside, a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground, as if no one has been here for a long time.
Leaning inside the house, Zuo Chen could see a soft couch placed in the main hall.
Staring at the soft couch, Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows.
Why is this object?
