The days that followed were pleasant.
My mother has already secretly started discussing with Goddess Yan about my wedding date with Lulu.
And the relationship between Lulu and I is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Although Lulu is still shy, Lulu is still very cooperative when she pulls her little hands and occasionally kisses her little mouth.
The days passed day by day, and not long after I came back, my ghost body officially became a fifth-rank ghost, and I was only one step away from the ghost king.
Of course, this step will kill a lot of people.
The only thing that worries me is that the friction between the underworld and the human forces is increasing, and even in many places, the human ghost forces have begun to divide the territory to prevent the ghosts in this area from entering the underworld.
And the culprit that caused everything was Lulu.
The Hungry Ghost Realm is a key component of the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld. There is no room for loss.
When Lulu told Granny Meng the news that the hungry ghost had entered the world at the invitation of the forces in the world, the underworld dispatched elite soldiers to wipe out the forces directly.
It is said that it wiped out several forces that were suspected to be related to the Hungry Ghost Dao. This unwarranted practice puts the ghost forces in the world at risk.
It also led to fierce confrontation between the forces of the underworld and the world.
Of course, as the owner of Yinxu or Fanlou, I am the grandson-in-law of Po Meng, a big boss in the underworld, so I didn't affect our side.
After communicating with Sister Hua, we directly took a neutral approach. After all, such confrontation and friction may last for hundreds of years. As for the outbreak of war, the possibility is extremely low.
Although I followed the trend, I didn't pay too much attention to it, but what really caught my attention was that Wu Jian was promoted, and Wu Jian and I officially started to maintain the local order.
For a while, even the haunted legends were much less, and Wu Jian was repeatedly praised by his superiors for solving the case quickly.
When everything was on the right track, I found that I had nothing to do except occasionally flirting with Lulu and being cleaned up by my mother.
The days of being a pig made me gain 20 catties. That day, after supper with Wu Jian and the others, we staggered back to the ghost building with the support of Xiaolingdang and Lulu.
Unexpectedly, Sister Hua, Aunt Li, Mom, Goddess Yan and others were all sitting in the yard.
Seeing me go back, my mother gave me a hard look, but because of Lulu, she didn't clean me up like before.
After letting me sit down and drinking a bowl of sober soup, Aunt Li asked me with a serious face: "Do you know why you can't be promoted to Ghost King?"
I gave Aunt Li a sleepy look: "Well, well, I don't know."
Aunt Li shook her head: "Because your heart is not strong enough. In cultivation, what you cultivate is your nature, and what you cultivate is your heart. We plan to let you..."
I didn't hear the words behind, my head drooped, and I fell asleep directly.
At noon the next day, I struggled to get up, touched my aching head, and secretly vowed to quit drinking.
However, before the oath was finished, I was stunned. I saw my mother and Lulu packing the suitcases. It seemed that they had been packing for a long time.
I looked at my mother strangely: "Mom, where are you going?"
Mom gave me a blank look, and then walked to my side: "Xiao Rui, go out alone, be careful, and call mom, uh, and Lulu every day."
My face was blank: "I'm going out alone, where am I going?"
Mom slapped me on the forehead: "Let you drink so much."
I looked at my mother innocently, and looked at Lulu with pleading eyes, Lulu shook her head speechlessly: "Didn't you agree yesterday?"
I watched my mother muttering that she forgot the towel and walked out of the room. I pulled Lulu over and asked anxiously, "What did I promise?"
Lulu was pulled by me obediently, and leaned against my side: "Who told you to drink so much yesterday."
Then Lulu told me in detail what happened last night.
It turns out that in order to be promoted to the ghost king, besides the necessary accumulation of Yin Qi, the most important thing is to improve the heart.
The ghost king is no longer purely composed of yin qi. A huge amount of yin qi will condense on the ghost's body called a ghost heart or ghost bead. Only when the ghost bead is successfully condensed can the ghost truly become the ghost king.
And the ghost heart, that is, the so-called improvement of the heart, whether you are brave or kind or other, you must strengthen your heart, and the best way to strengthen your heart is to get in touch with the truest side of your heart.
Last night, in a daze, I had already agreed to face my truest heart bravely.
Therefore, Aunt Li and the others sealed my ability to change into a ghost body, took away all the magic weapons, and let me face the horror and find my own path.
It was only then that I realized that when I touched my body, I was about to cry.
My body is so clean, not to mention magic weapons such as soul-gathering flags, I don't even have an evil-killing talisman.
I looked at Lulu with a bitter face: "No way, isn't this driving me to death?"
Lulu patted me lightly: "You have already agreed, besides, the order of yin deficiency is still on you, ordinary ghosts can't kill you, and ghosts that can kill you won't really kill you." I will kill you, but suffering must be inevitable."
My face turned into a bitter gourd, and I looked at Lulu begging for help, like a puppy about to be abandoned: "I can't bear you."
Lulu gave me a shy white look: "This is for your own good, so prepare well."
I stood up speechless, even Lulu didn't support me, I guess I couldn't run away, but everything was packed, I still don't know where I'm going, could it be like those people who experience in the world of mortals, to experience Life is full of vicissitudes.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver. I opened my wallet and saw that the bank card was still there, and I let out a sigh of relief.
Can't help but ask curiously: "Lulu, where am I going?"
"The place Sister Hua chose for you, the first stop is Shangjing." As she said that, Lulu touched my cheek: "Work hard, if you hurry, you will be back in a month."
One month, that's not too long, just what to do in Beijing.
I have never been to Shanghai, but I know it well. It can be said to be one of the three major economic centers in my country. It is not a big place, but its GDP ranks among the top three in the country all the year round, even surpassing many countries.
It's just where I go and what I do. I asked curiously: "Will I go there to get in touch with the world of luxury and money, and then exercise my restraint?"
Lulu gave me a hard look, and handed me several carefully cut newspapers.
I took a look, there were three in total, and they were not the same newspaper. And it's not a regular big newspaper, it's more like gossip news.
And the cropped content is all weird and abnormal. When I saw the title, I trembled all over.
The title of the first one is: Shangjing, corpse in the sewer. The subtitle is: Corpses clog fifty kilometers of sewage outlets.
50 kilometers, is this killing people in a city? My little heart is already jumping up.
This is training the mind, this is training the courage.
