King of Black Mist

In the dilapidated temple, the girl could not help but tremble violently.

The man in front of him pointed his feet off the ground, his face turned blue in the firelight, and his mouth was kept wide open, as if he was screaming, but there was no sound.

It seemed like he was forever frozen in the moment before his death.

[Don't make a sound. 】

"Ah——" the girl let out a harsh scream.

[There is a ghost opposite you. If you don’t want to die, just listen to me. If you want to die, just keep screaming. 】

The girl stopped her voice immediately - she covered her mouth with both hands, as if stuffing the voice into her mouth, and ate it.

[Ask him, are you a human or a ghost? 】

"You, you, are you a human or a ghost?" the girl parroted tremblingly.

Across from the fire, the ghost with its mouth wide open came closer, its face becoming more and more ugly in the firelight, and it was terrifying and weird.

"I'm a ghost, what about you?" the ghost asked.

【I am also a ghost. 】

The girl followed Li Changzhou and said, "I, I am also a ghost."

The ghost looked at her, his bloodshot eyes moving stiffly, like two dull beads, without any spirituality.

The girl held her breath.

She was almost drowning in fear, her whole body was shaking, and her face was extremely pale.

"Then why did you light the fire?" asked the ghost.

[He was drowned not long ago and thought he was alive. 】

The girl could no longer speak. The ghost in front of her was levitating inch by inch, but her legs were stretched straight and her figure was swaying, as if she was being hung up.

"Hoo!" The bonfire suddenly went out, and the world became dark.

The girl didn't scream, not because she didn't want to scream. She was paralyzed by extreme fear, as if she was under water, unable to make any sound.

【Say it! I had just drowned not long ago and thought I was alive! 】Li Changzhou urged.

In the darkness, he clearly saw a hemp rope hanging down, one end tied around the ghost's neck, and the other end tied to the girl.

"I just died thinking I was alive." The girl's teeth chattered.

The twine stopped.

Through his spiritual consciousness, Li Changzhou clearly saw that the ghost was a little confused and stared at the girl's pale face.

[Can ghosts fly? Can you teach me? 】

"G-ghosts can fly? Can you teach me?"

"Oh." The ghost slowly fell down and sat in front of the extinguished bonfire again. The hemp rope disappeared. "I am a hanged ghost. I can't fly. It was the rope that pulled me up."

【Don't be afraid. 】Li Changzhou spoke calmly, 【I am the god of this temple. Because the temple is broken down, it has lost its incense and power, but I will not ignore it. You only need to listen to me. It is easy to deal with a kid. 】

God?

The girl finally felt a little relieved.

[Ask him: I just died, what should I pay attention to when I become a ghost? 】

"I just died, what's the point of being a ghost?" the girl asked.

"Memory will fade. If you don't kill someone, you will slowly forget everything and eventually disappear."

After a pause, the ghost suddenly asked: "Are you really not a human?"

The ghost's mouth opened wider than a normal human's, almost covering the girl's entire head.

The girl heard: [Are you really a hanger? Why can the mouth be opened so wide? 】

She repeated this sentence while her heart was shaking.

Are you going to be eaten?

The ghost's mouth returned to screaming, but its face was expressionless and terrifying: "You just died, and you are not used to being a ghost, look."

The ghost took off his head and handed it to the girl.

[Raise your hand, directly above the original bonfire, and catch what the ghost handed you. 】

'thing? what? ’

[If you don’t want to die, just reach out. 】

The girl closed her eyes, stretched out her hands, and caught a cold sphere. The wet black hair fell on her palms like snakes.

[That’s awesome. Are ghosts not afraid of anything anymore? 】

The girl mustered up all her courage and tried not to think about what was in her hand. As soon as the word 'head' came up, she pushed it back.

She concentrated on repeating Li Changzhou's words.

"No." The ghost replied.

The ghost head in the girl's hand made a sound, and waves of cold breath blew on the girl.

The ghost continued: "A child's urine can melt the ghost's body, and the blood of a yellow flower girl can seal our actions. Are you afraid?"

"I'm cold." The girl trembled. She didn't use her acting skills this time. "I'm so cold. I fell into the water and I'm going to die."

"You are already dead." The ghost reminded kindly.

The girl said nothing.

[Method The other party has told you, if you are a man disguised as a woman, you have to pee; if you are a woman, bite your lip and press the blood on the ghost's head in the palm of your hand. 】

Ghost head! ! ! !

Sure enough, it was a head, or the head of a ghost, and he was holding a ghost head!

"Why is your body hot?" the ghost asked again.

"I just died, maybe because I was exposed to the fire." The girl repeated tremblingly.

[Choose, the other party has already told you the way to survive. 】

Li Changzhou stopped making any sound.

The ghost tried several times, and the girl who had originally given up her suspicions, but lost Li Changzhou's help, soon made him suspicious again.

【Lord God! Lord God! 】The girl shouted in her heart.

Seeing that the girl's identity was about to be revealed, Li Changzhou still did not speak.

There is already a way to survive from the ghost. No matter how much he helps, it will only delay time. The most critical "action" is only for the girl to make up her mind.

"Give me your head back," the ghost said.

The girl's heart trembled, and her arms trembled.

"Are you afraid?" The Hanged Man stood up and asked, "Are you afraid of ghosts? Are you not a ghost? Are you a human? You are a human!"

There was a gloomy wind, and a green will-o'-the-wisp suddenly lit up in the bonfire.

A thick rope hung from the cantilever beam of the temple, and in the eerie green light, it was put around the girl's neck.

Li Changzhou watched with cold eyes.

"Ah!!" The girl didn't see the rope. The moment the will-o'-the-wisp lighted up, she was frightened and panicked by the headless corpse in front of her.

Seeing that the rope was about to be wrapped around her neck, the girl finally took action. She seemed to be scared out of her mind and bit her lip suddenly.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spat on the ghost's head.

The rope lost its power and swayed in the green light, hitting the girl's neck covered in cold sweat from time to time, like a ghost tongue licking her again and again.

The ghost was frozen in place.

The girl was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, her face turned green and her body was shivering.

[Quite qualified. 】Li Changzhou's tone was relaxed, and he was relieved in his heart.

He had to fight for the path of "winner", so naturally he didn't want to be eliminated just as he came up.

At this time, he had time to pay attention to the girl. She was about fifteen years old. She ignored the look on her face that she could pretend to be a drowned ghost after being frightened by a ghost. She had a pretty face and a very slender figure, and was surprisingly beautiful.

If he had known that she was so beautiful, Li Changzhou would have chosen a ghost.

This girl has no strength and beauty. He is just a "magic weapon" now and cannot take the initiative. There are still many tests for this girl to endure.

However, the true qualities of a hero can only be seen when the sea is flowing, and Li Changzhou really doesn't like playing games that are not difficult at all.

The girl finally came to her senses, hurriedly threw the ghost head in her hand on the ground, picked up the baggage beside her, and ran out of the temple.

【run! ” Li Changzhou smiled and said, “Guess how many ghosts there are outside! 】

Poof!

The girl fell to the ground, not only her legs were weak, but she was also frightened by Li Changzhou.

The girl did not stand up, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the temple.

"Lord God, save me! Please show mercy and save me!"

[Place your heart back in your stomach, be brave, and calm down your anger to speak. 】

After a long time, the girl slowly calmed down her excitement, but she still did not dare to look at the human head on the ground and the headless ghost corpse suspended in mid-air.

[Tell me about your origins. 】Li Changzhou said.

The girl was startled and said, "I was born in Wangjia Village. Before I even got a name, I was sold by my parents to the county's wife Liu's family as a maid. The young lady named me Xiaohong."

【Xiaohong? Then why did you come to my temple in the middle of the night if you weren't staying at Yuan Liu's house? 】

The girl's face showed a sad and angry look: "Liu Yuanwai fell in love with me and wanted me to warm his feet. Last year, Xiaolu warmed Liu Yuanwai's feet and he bled to death. I was so scared that I ran out secretly.

"Because going back to Wangjiacun would only harm my family and I had nowhere to go. I remember that a miscellaneous book my young mistress had read mentioned that there was an immortal nearby, so I wanted to come and ask the immortal to save me, but I didn't expect to meet him. I met him. .”

He didn't dare to say the word "ghost". It seemed that once he said it, the hanged ghost would resume his actions.

She trembled as if cold, and then said: "Fortunately, I met the Lord God!"

[Gods, gods, and ghosts, if there are ghosts, there will naturally be gods. 】Li Changzhou smiled and said, 【You will be my attendant from now on, and I will ensure your immortality. 】

The girl looked confused.

Who is interested in immortality at such a young age.

【Are you willing? 】

"I am willing, Xiaohong is willing! I am willing to serve the Lord God!" the girl said quickly.

[Xiaohong. This is a bad name. Let’s do this. I’ll give you a new name. 】

The girl said nothing and listened obediently.

[From now on, your surname will be my surname, 'Shen', Shen. Well, you said there are immortals here, but there are only gods and ghosts here, then you can be that immortal yourself - from now on you will be called 'Shenxian'er'. 】

"God, god?" The girl forgot about the hanging ghost for a moment.

[Come here and pick up the branch on the altar. This is my statue. 】

"Lord God, how about I call you Xiaohong?"

[He went back and continued to warm Yuan Liu’s feet, but died of massive hemorrhage? Think clearly whether you want to be a 'little red' or a 'fairy'. 】

The girl licked her dry lips, and the bite wound bleeded again, and a rusty taste spread on the tip of her tongue.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I want to be a god!"

[It’s a fairy. 】Li Changzhou corrected, 【Come here and pick up the branches. 】

The girl stood up. She was wearing an underskirt and a lotus embroidered tube top. She had a slender figure, although not plump, but still somewhat slender.

She avoided the hanged man, walked to the altar, and carefully removed the branch.

[Put it on your waist, then take the ghost head and the hemp rope and go out. 】

"Ghost, ghost head?" Shenxian'er asked tremblingly.

[There are ghosts out there. If you don’t lead the ghosts, how can you scare them? 】Li Changzhou said.

"Lord God, is there no other way?"

【Of course. 】Li Changzhou is also very open-minded and understands normal people's fear of ghosts. He will never force others to do anything. "If you die on the altar and become a ghost, ghosts will naturally not harm ghosts." 】

The girl pinned the branch to her belt and picked up the bundle. Then she hid her left hand in her sleeve and held up the ghost's head through her sleeve, while her right hand tremblingly grabbed the hemp rope.

She walked outside the house, and the corpse of the hanged ghost hung like a kite behind her.

"Ah" she cried softly, her legs trembling.

【Hahahahaha! ] Li Changzhou laughed.

The girl cried harder, but gradually, the cry became less filled with fear and more aggrieved with schadenfreude.

Just like that, a beautiful girl held the head of a silently screaming ghost and led the hanging body of the ghost, walking in the dark night, making a whimpering sound.

If there really is a ghost outside, the ghost wouldn't dare to come close, right?

"Lord God, where are we going?" The girl finally cried enough.

[Whatever. Wait. 】Li Changzhou discovered a teleportation array.

The teleportation array has made some disguises, but not to mention his sensitivity to space, just because of his divine sense that can transport millions of years of mana, even if he is suppressed to the point where he can only scan 10 meters around, he is basically invincible.

This kind of cover-up is no different from the three hundred taels of silver here.

He can even extend his spiritual sense along the teleportation array to explore the situation on the other side - fighting against space lifeforms has benefited him a lot.

【Go left. ] He thought of the immortal the girl had mentioned before.

[Go forward, okay, go forward, don’t stop. 】

The girl walked forward 6 meters and stopped in front of a tree.

The teleportation array is on the tree. It is trigger-type. As a mortal girl, it can be used. It only requires a little means.

[Crash into it, go faster, with the determination to commit suicide. 】

The girl who "bumped" looked puzzled.

[After entering, follow my instructions and don't talk too much. 】

After all, the girl was a maid, so she understood the meaning quickly and understood that the tree must be hit.

She took a deep breath, pulled the hemp rope with her right hand to protect her head, kicked off her legs hard, and hit the tree trunk hard.

When the girl's body was still one centimeter away from the tree trunk, array patterns appeared on the tree trunk, and the array patterns shimmered.

"Ah!" The girl didn't hit anything. She stepped on the air and stumbled several times before she regained her balance.

In front of you is a lively street paved with bluestones.

Beside the road, banners and flags were fluttering, and there was a constant stream of cries. In the Duan's Weapons, a lizard spirit beast breathed fire at the stove.

A man and a woman came out of the 'Lu's robe shop'. The woman's robes were brightly colored, like a fairy;

The children laughed and cheered. It turned out that someone was selling spiritual animals on the street. A monkey was doing somersaults and playing with a stick. The stick made a whining sound when the air was pumped out.

Someone was making a fuss in front of the Talisman Shop and placed a corpse. It seemed that the Talisman he bought was not activated, so he was killed by his opponent during the battle, and he demanded compensation.

"Come, come, come, don't miss it as you pass by. In the recent war between the moon and the sun, a large number of comrades died, a lot of land and houses are idle, and prices have been greatly reduced!"

"The war on the moon is over. The elixirs stored during the war are being cleared out and going on sale. If you want to buy them, hurry up!"

In mid-air, the talisman sword flew back and forth, walking through the streets and alleys, busy like homing pigeons.

"Gulu!" The girl swallowed, "Lord God, I am, I am."

【Yes. 】Li Changzhou smiled slightly.

"It turns out I'm really dead. This is a ghost street." The girl looked depressed.

【.That book is true, there are indeed immortals here, and this is where the immortals live. 】

The girl's delicate lips were open, dumbfounded.

Li Changzhou glanced 10 meters around to observe the surrounding situation. Behind the girl was a laurel tree, and the teleportation pattern of the laurel tree was slowly dimming.

[Return to reality. 】

The girl slowly closed her mouth.

[Shout to me: Selling ghosts, fresh hanged ghosts. 】

"Buy, sell, sell, sell ghosts?!" The girl stuttered again this time.

【call. 】Li Changzhou is just one word.

The girl swallowed and shouted in a low voice: "Sell, sell ghosts, sell ghosts, fresh hanged ghosts."

[Didn’t eat? louder please. Keep shouting. 】

"Sell, sell ghosts."

The little monk selling spiritual soil across the street was anxious. He couldn't see the right when he looked to the left. That's okay!

She shouted: "Ling Tu! Selling Ling Tu Le!!"

Contrary to Li Changzhou's expectation, the girl was not afraid. Instead, she was inspired to be competitive by this little girl of the same age and shouted loudly:

"Selling ghosts! Selling ghosts! Fresh hanged ghosts!"

A man carrying a sword walked up to the girl and asked, "How can you sell this ghost?"

The girl who had been bold just now tensed up and subconsciously shrank back.

[What are you afraid of? He can be scarier than a ghost? Ask him, how much can you pay? 】

In order to muster up courage, the girl glared at the other person: "How much money can you offer?!"

The man carrying the sword glanced at the ghost head in the girl's arms, and then glanced at the headless ghost corpse suspended in the air like a balloon: "Up to three spiritual stones."

【Not for sale. 】

The girl didn’t know what a spiritual stone was, but she said firmly: “I won’t sell it!”

"Hmph." The man carrying the sword waved his sleeves and left.

On and off, four or five people came to ask about the price, the highest was four yuan and the lowest was half a yuan.

"Lord God," the girl took the time to ask in a low voice, "How many spiritual stones is this ghost worth? Also, what are spiritual stones?"

[How do I know how much a ghost is worth? I have never done this kind of low-end business. The next time someone comes up with four spiritual stones, they will be sold. As for what the spiritual stones are, you will know when you get them. 】

He shouted for another half hour.

The little monk selling spiritual soil across the street opened his shop once, and immediately started to show off. He took the fragments of the spiritual crystals he had obtained, and showed them off to the girl across the aisle.

The girl was so angry that she muttered: "There are people who buy mud!"

Then he shouted even harder: "Selling ghosts! Selling ghosts! The hanged ghosts who just died! Hanged ghosts, come and see! Come and see the hanged ghosts! Fresh hanged ghosts!"

A young man and woman came over.

"Junior sister, isn't your Five Ghost Killing Technique missing just one ghost? Don't you have the Hanged Ghost yet?" the man asked.

"Well, no."

The man looked at the girl and said, "Hey." He glanced at the girl and noticed that she had a beautiful face. "Female Taoist friend, how can you sell this ghost?"

"Four"

[Six spiritual stones. 】

The girl quickly changed her words: "Six spiritual stones!"

The man frowned: "A ghost that becomes a mortal after death, even if it is just dead, can only cost four yuan at most. Six yuan is too expensive."

[Thinking of Mr. Liu, he said to the man: I hate men. Then he said to the woman, sister, I will sell it to you for only four yuan, will you buy it? 】

"I hate men!" the girl said sincerely.

She then said to the female monk: "Sister, I will sell it to you for only four yuan, will you buy it?"

"Okay." The female monk smiled.

She was about to pay.

"Wait!" interrupted the friar.

How can a man be stingy in front of a woman he admires!

"Six dollars, six dollars!" The male monk gritted his teeth and took out six spiritual stones.

"Senior brother."

"Junior sister, there is no need to say more. Just think of it as a gift for your promotion to the fourth level of Qi training."

Money and goods are cleared.

The girl clutched the six spiritual stones she had obtained from selling ghosts, her hands and feet were numb, her head was dizzy, and she felt as if she had entered a storybook.

Encountering ghosts, fairy market, selling ghosts.

[Go to Zizhushan Kung Fu Shop. 】

The girl came to her senses, but she was in no hurry.

She walked to the other side of the street, looking at the spiritual soil and playing with the six spiritual stones in her hand.

She didn't leave until the little monk's mouth trembled with anger.

When she arrived in front of the Zizhushan Kung Fu Shop, she was put off by the exquisite five-story building.

She held the branch around her waist, drew a burst of courage from it, and walked in.
