Shennong Daojun
Chapter 40: Seeing ghosts and gods with clear eyes at night
"...The assessment starts at Xu hour and ends at dawn at Mao hour."
"Everyone holds a second-level soul-inducing lantern and conducts patrols, including the lake area and bay area, as well as the 32nd square of the dock."
"The content of the assessment is to appease the souls of those who fell into the water and other lonely souls."
"Those who appease ten dead souls without using 'Invite God' will be rated as A."
"Those who appease five dead souls without using 'Invite God' will be rated as B."
“Those who appease the three dead souls without using ‘invite gods’ will be graded as C.”
"If you can't appease even one dead soul, you need to 'ask God' as soon as possible. Don't ruin the peace of the folks for the sake of ratings."
"If you ask God, the test will end early. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"There is still a lot of time to prepare. Let's go find a place."
"Yes, Lord Meng."
As Meng Yun, the master of ceremonies guarding the palace, finished speaking, these minor officials dispersed to prepare for the upcoming assessment.
Zhao Xingfa took a look with his bright eyes and saw Meng Yun carrying a package behind him.
Inside the package was a two-foot-tall man.
It has a ruddy face, holds a miniature Yanyue knife, and has a majestic and upright look on its face.
His eyes were closed, but suddenly he opened them, and even smiled at Zhao Xing.
See ghosts and gods with bright eyes and night vision!
Before seeing the ghost, I first saw the Yin God enshrined in the temple.
Zhao Xing cupped his hands, and then quickly put away the spell. When he looked at it with the naked eye, he saw that there was just an ordinary sandalwood statue behind it.
"Huh? Why is Zhenjun awake?" Meng Yunruo felt something and turned around to look around.
Zhao Xing had already looked away.
"Good fellow, I have brought out Uncle Donghu. There are really dead souls coming ashore. With this person in charge, even a cart is not enough to kill them."
The dead souls at this stage are generally not threatening. They can at most disturb ordinary people's dreams, causing them to lose energy and become depressed for a few days.
Unless someone deliberately raises the soul, but that is a serious crime, and if found out, they will be classified as a demon outside the country.
What's more, the master of ceremonies who guarded the temple took Uncle Donghu out of his concentration. Even if Zhao Xing jumped into the pile of dead souls and danced, the dead souls didn't dare to touch a hair on his head.
After all, he is the man whom Uncle Donghu saved!
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Xu Laoba looked at Zhao Xing doubtfully, why did he suddenly stop walking while walking.
"Oh, it's nothing. I seem to see someone familiar. I must have made a mistake." Zhao Xing responded casually.
"Then shall we continue shopping, or go to work somewhere?" Xu Laoba couldn't help but urge him.
I've been shopping for more than half an hour, and the owner has no intention of ending.
It was so easy to get the money, and Xu Laoba didn't feel at ease.
Two taels and five cents is not a small amount of money.
"Don't be in a hurry, let's eat something first." Zhao Xing walked into a stall and ordered a few kebabs. "You can eat as much as you like, and any amount will be mine. I won't drink any wine, so as not to cause any trouble."
"Okay, thank you young master." Xu Laoba was not polite and ordered dozens of strings in one breath. Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't respond at all, he suddenly felt that this young master was really a generous person. I made up my mind that he would not leave empty-handed tonight.
Dozens of skewers of barbecued meats, a few bowls of rice soup, and four grilled fishes cost only one penny in total. The taste was authentic and the portions were sufficient, so it was well worth it.
Xu Laoba stopped eating when he was seventy percent full because he would have to go into the water later.
Zhao Xing was only half full, so he continued to bark some more.
Xu Laoba was secretly stunned when he saw it: "This master looks tall and thin, but I didn't expect that he has such a big appetite. I am already seventy percent full. He eats about the same as me, but he can still eat it? Could it be that he is still a human? Lian Jia Zi.”
Although Zhao Xing is not a warrior, his physical fitness at the third level of Juyuan is much better than that of Xu Laoba, and his appetite is naturally very large.
Just when he was eating grilled fish, suddenly.
"Huhu~"
A gust of wind came and blew across the pavement.
"Huh?" Zhao Xing stopped what he was doing. He was very sensitive to wind, and the wind that blew inexplicably was obviously not a normal wind.
"Is the wind blowing dark? It also brings a little moisture... Is this a water ghost coming ashore?"
The wind-rising spell has an advanced direction called [Dark Wind Attacking the Soul], which is generally only qualified to learn by army farmers.
Zhao Xing made a distinction and found that this was not a man-made wind. He also felt that the wind was a little moist, and he immediately understood that a water ghost had come ashore.
I saw a wet ghost walking through the street. He was wearing silk and had a fat body, wandering aimlessly.
I looked at the almanac and saw that there was no warning. I also calculated the time and found that it was almost Dingmao.
"Just wait here for me and don't move around. I'll come find you later." Then Zhao Xing paid and followed.
"Huh? Where is the young master...?" Xu Laoba was a little confused. Zhao Xing looked like he was not walking very fast, but he disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye. "It's really weird."
Zhao Xing felt the wind at his feet and quickly caught up with the fat wandering soul and walked side by side with him.
The nine-turn bright eyes can see ghosts and gods, and can naturally communicate with each other. Zhao Xing observed for a while and asked: "Uncle, what are you looking for?"
The fat wandering soul in silk turned his head, his hair wet against his forehead, and his lips turned white: "I'm looking for a way home."
Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "May I ask where your uncle's home is?"
The fat ghost muttered: "I am from the west of the county, and I live in Nanjia Mansion, the county seat."
County West? Which county? When Zhao Xing was still thinking about where this place was, he only heard the fat ghost say in confusion: "But I can't find it, I can't find it..."
At this time, Zhao Xing came to his senses and realized that You County was a lower county. It had merged with another lower county, Pingshan, twelve years ago and changed its name to Youshan County.
It's strange that you can find it. The corpses have floated from the west of the county to the south of the county!
So this person has been dead for at least twelve years? !
Zhao Xing thought for a moment and continued: "Uncle, you want to go home, but do you have something to confess?"
The fat wandering soul nodded: "Yes, I want to tell my wife that I am dead and let them take my body back. I also want to tell her that I have a sum of silver packed in a box and buried in..."
"Buried where?"
The fat wandering soul suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with ghostly fire: "Why should I tell you, you are not my family."
"..."
There's nothing wrong with it, it makes sense.
After saying that, the fat ghost continued to walk aimlessly, muttering: "I am from the west of the county. I live in Nanjia Mansion, the county seat. I want to go home, but where is my home? I can't find it." ah……"
Zhao Xing was about to communicate again, but suddenly he heard a clear shout from the front: "The soul is back!"
Then he saw a ray of golden light shining on the fat wandering soul. Then the wandering soul stopped talking and walked towards the source of the golden light involuntarily.
No one else could detect the sound and the golden light, but Zhao Xing heard and saw a figure in front of him holding a soul-inducing lamp, who was an official in the temple's assessment.
Don’t ask for rewards, just ask for free tickets and follow-up readings to rush down the new book list, and it will explode when it is released~
