When He Huo came back with Ming's name on his back, Mr. Ming greeted him personally.
Naturally, his target was not them, and when he looked behind the two, he couldn't see Gou Liang and Bi Xia, so he couldn't help but feel a little thumped in his heart.
After questioning, he learned that Gou Liang and the two went to the ancient tomb to find out, and they would come to see Ming Ming tomorrow, so Mr. Ming felt relieved.
On the other side, in the tomb of the ancient tomb owner.
A group of ghosts knelt on the ground tremblingly. Among them, the highest cultivation was 2,700 years, and the worst was 300 years. But at this moment, they could only tremble under the pressure of Bi Xia. On the other hand, Bi Xia was sitting on the coffin of the owner of the tomb with Gou Liang in his arms, looking down expressionlessly at the poor fellow who was so frightened that he was almost out of his wits.
He hated this tomb deeply, and he didn't like these ghosts even more. The ghostly aura was released without reservation, and some timid ghosts were already crying.
Gou Liang raised his forehead secretly: the promised thousand-year-old ghost, but the strong enemy is difficult
Only after he entered here did he realize that the tomb where the bronze wine bottle was buried is not the main tomb of this tomb but the tomb of the owner's son, and the tomb where the bronze sword was buried is the main tomb.
A few tomb robbers broke into here by mistake a hundred years ago, and the reason why some people left alive is because what they stole were not other funerary objects but bronze swords. Bronze sword and bronze wine bottle, after countless failures, they were already desperate. At this time, a "good-hearted person" finally took it away. All the ghosts in the ancient tomb wished to celebrate with the whole world. How could they be willing to keep the "benefactors" to stay with themselves? companion
But they never expected that after more than a hundred years of happy life, this evil god not only came back, but also melted his soul from each of his thousand-year-old Taoism into a fierce ghost with three-thousand-year Taoism!
... Hey, is it still too late to reincarnate now
Seeing Bi Xia's stinky face trying to crush these ghosts every minute, Gou Liang touched his arm comfortingly, and asked, "What do you want to do with the souls of the Ming family?"
The owner of the tomb was a noble Marquis, a calculating old fox with more than 2,000 years of cultivation, but in front of Bi Xia, he was only a grandson.
Hearing this, he glanced at Bi Xia's expression, and then replied respectfully: "Reporting to Madam, it's not that we are deliberately holding onto the souls of the Ming family."
"The Ming family was originally the slaves of my Marquis Mansion. When we were buried, they left their lineage because they needed people to serve them. They also made a poisonous oath that they will serve us from generation to generation whether they are alive or after death." , and we will also bless the descendants of the Ming family to be prosperous and safe in the world."
"For thousands of years, they have been adhering to their duties. But who would have thought that since five hundred years ago, they entered the court under the help of us, and became the prime minister of an extremely human minister. Since then, the descendants of the Ming family have neglected their duties. Because of becoming a famous family in the world and enjoying the wealth and honor in the world, the descendants of the Ming family began to ignore us and think that they are our masters. They even invited alchemists to try to refine us for their own use. .”
Speaking of this, the Marquis was still full of anger, his whole body was full of black air, he gritted his teeth and said: "Seeing that things are not going to work, they still want to exterminate us. If our cultivation base is not low, I am afraid that we will die at that time. In the hands of the lowly slave."
"The Marquis gave them prosperity, so I can take it back. They are unrighteous, so don't blame me for being unkind."
"Without our protection, the Ming family was quickly victimized by the power and became homeless. Ben Hou punished them with small punishments, and seeing them regain their duty and come back to serve us, he didn't make it difficult. Unexpectedly, only a hundred years have passed. They started to get tired and lazy, and now they even want to move their ancestral graves and cut off the Ming family's service to the Hou Mansion."
"Hmph, these treacherous villains really deserve to be killed! If the loyal servants of the Ming family hadn't pleaded so hard to give their descendants a chance to reform, I would have chased and killed these rebellious slaves long ago!"
He was filled with righteous indignation, and Gou Liang also expressed deep sympathy—the world has changed dramatically, but this Marquis is still steadfastly immersed in the wealth of the Marquis family, so it is no wonder that he is despised by others.
Gou Liang asked again: "You have stayed here all these years, have you ever met this person?"
Gou Liang released the ghost energy of Gu Yangzi extracted from Yunxian's body, and the ghosts in the tomb were shocked again—why is it another three-thousand-year ghost? ! Didn't it mean that when Yan Luo, the tenth hall of the underworld, swept away the world, all the ghosts with a cultivation base of more than a thousand years were taken away, and they escaped by hiding in the cemetery peacefully. sweet.
The owner of the tomb shook his head quickly, if they had met face to face, where would they still have a peaceful life of guarding the small world of the tomb alone
But the ghost servant of the Ming family who was serving outside said: "Reporting to Madam, I have never seen this person before, but I have seen a person with a similar breath to this person a few days ago."
"Oh, let's talk about it in detail."
Gou Liang's eyes fell on the servant of the Ming family who was pressing his head to the ground. The other party did not even dare to lift his head, and said humbly: "After the tomb of the young master was exposed, some people came to the tomb to investigate one after another. This person is Yue. I have been here before. Judging from their words, he thought he was an expert specially invited by them, and left without seeing anything strange."
Gou Liang understood.
This main tomb was built with the extremely exquisite Qimen Dunjia technique, supplemented by magic tools that can completely shield the breath of ghosts. As long as they hide here and don't take the initiative to show up, let alone the so-called disciples of Changtianmen, even with Gou Liang's cultivation base, it is difficult to find their existence without systematic help.
Seeing that no more valuable information could be obtained from these "house ghosts" who hadn't left the ancient tomb, Gou Liang looked at Bi Xia: "What do you plan to do with these ghosts?"
Bi Xia glanced at them coldly, still remembering the grudges these ghosts had thrown away over and over again, and said ruthlessly, "They've lived long enough, since they don't want to enter reincarnation, they all need to be killed."
The group of ghosts was terrified, crying and begging for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"
Gou Liang smiled secretly, and waited until Bi Xia had put on a red face, he said, "Since I've been here and I know of your existence, I can't just sit idly by. It's because you didn't commit any crimes indiscriminately." , I will put you in the nine-storied pagoda, wait for all the ghost energy on your body to dissipate, and then send you into reincarnation, how about it?"
The owner of the tomb burst into tears, "Please forgive me, madam, I will spend the rest of my life here in peace. If I can be lucky enough to become a ghost, it will not be in vain for more than two thousand years of cultivation. In the past two thousand years, I have never caused any harm to the village. The villain of the future will also restrain the servants, and will never let them go out to do evil, please forgive us, Madam."
They have endured more than two thousand years of silence, and after another thousand or a hundred years, they will be able to condense their golden bodies like Bi Xia and achieve immortality.
How can you be willing to let them give up halfway now
Gou Liang sacrificed the ninefold soul to the pagoda, and the power of the top-grade magic weapon made the old ghosts tremble with fear.
—They underestimated Gou Liang's ability, even without Bi Xia's help, it would take minutes to clean them up. Realizing this, the old ghosts in the tomb felt that the chrysanthemums were all over the ground.
Gou Liang said lightly: "Since you don't want to accept my arrangement, it's useless to say more. Bi Xia, these people... ghosts, I'll let you deal with them."
Bi Xia raised her eyebrows and jumped out of the coffin with Gou Liang in her arms.
There was a bit of bloodthirsty excitement in his eyes, as if he had been waiting for the moment to devour all these unsightly things and tear his soul apart.
The old ghosts in the ancient tomb cried loudly, shouting for mercy, and then they saw a thousand-year-old ghost being knocked out of his wits when Bi Xia pinched his head, and his icy eyes looked at them, and they were frightened to look at the nine-storied pagoda. Direction rushed: "Madam, I am willing to enter reincarnation and listen to Madam's orders!"
Only then did Gou Liang make a move, collecting these nearly 500 souls into the nine-storied pagoda according to their cultivation level.
It's done!
Seeing his appearance as if he had found a treasure, Bi Xia said displeasedly: "What do you want these things for? You have cultivated for nearly three thousand years, and you can't do any magic at all. Just take out a hundred-year-old ghost and you will be able to deal with them."
Gou Liang said happily: "It is enough to have a cultivation base. At that time, I will refine their cultivation bases for you. If they can be synthesized into ten thousand years of cultivation bases, you will be able to control ghost energy freely, and you will avoid being subjected to two rituals again." The suffering of the extreme sun."
He has considered this matter for a long time. Although Bi Xia didn't show it, he knows that the essence of the sun has hurt Bi Xia greatly, and the pain he has to endure is far worse than when he was infested by ghost energy and got a bad cold. Much more serious. Although he was looking forward to having a delicious meal every day, he restrained his appetite cruelly, even if Bi Xia pestered him, he would not let go.
Originally, he was racking his brains to figure out how to seamlessly transfer the system-produced Wannian cultivation level to Bi Xia in a reasonable and reasonable way, but now the existence of these high-cultivation cowards, isn't it just a pillow for sleepiness, it's perfect!
When Bi Xia heard this, his eyes lit up.
In this way, he and Gou Liang don't have to watch the noon every day, and he can do it anytime, anywhere as long as he wants... Very good, very good!
In a good mood, the two of them scraped away all the funerary objects and ritual artifacts in the main tomb, and happily went to Ming's house.
It was already daylight when we left the ancient tomb. At sunrise, Bi Xia’s eyes flickered, and then he changed into a gentle expression—since the sky soul was split into two, Bi Xia’s two personalities wanted to devour him several times. The other party failed, and an agreement was finally reached. Unless there are special circumstances, each person will have one day.
Bi Xia didn't like the atmosphere here either, but he didn't care either. Looking at Gou Liang's bright eyes who hadn't slept all night, he chuckled and said, "Are you tired, how about I carry you down the mountain?"
"I'm not tired, I want to hug!"
Without further ado, Gou Liang jumped on top of him, entangled Bi Xia like a sloth.
Bi Xia kissed his ear, touched his head and said, "Sleep, I will watch over you."
Gou Liang was not sleepy at first, but quickly fell asleep on his shoulder while he whispered softly. When I woke up again, it was already noon.
Lin Daochang was the first to discover Gou Liang's return, and hurried out to greet him.
Gou Liang had a good impression of him, so he reminded him: "The ancestors of the Ming family made a solemn oath to serve the ghost king, but now they break their promises, and what the Ming family suffers now is nothing but self-defeating consequences. I subdued that ghost king last night. Cutting off his relationship with the secular world, the fate of the Ming family without the protection of the ghost king is something that people can control. Lin Daochang should not get too involved in the situation, so as not to get involved in unnecessary karma and ruin the practice."
Lin Daochang quickly thanked, and said: "Meng Tianshi's words are very true, and the old Daoist will definitely keep it in mind. However, I came to Shuangye City this time not for the sake of the Ming family, but because of the entrustment of the organization to eliminate Harmful. I am ashamed to say that the old Taoist cultivation base is still shallow, so I can't deal with that sneaky thing. I thought about asking for help from above, but since I met Tianshi Meng here, I wonder if you have any free time recently?"
"What's the matter, tell me and listen."
Gou Liang is also receiving the state's salary now, and the allowance for each mission is also quite a lot. Naturally, there is no reason to refuse.
What's more, there are still people in the capital who want to come to visit him. If it can delay him for a day and make him anxious for a while, Gou Liang is naturally happy.
Lin Daochang hurriedly invited him to sit in the back pavilion and told the whole story.
A month ago, there were three consecutive cases of student suicide in Futaba Middle School, oh, plus yesterday's car accident that was classified as suicide, it was the fourth case.
When the incident first happened, everyone thought it was because the students were under too much study pressure, and those students had already exhibited various depression symptoms before committing suicide. It wasn't until after the third suicide case that the student's parents saw the words "I don't want to die, why did he force me to die" and "I'm so scared" in their daughter's diary, and decided it was murder. Let the police step up their investigation.
It is conceivable that they did not find out why.
Later, under the guidance of a local Feng Shui master, the case was classified as a special case and reported to the Special Operations Department.
Lin Daochang said: "The old Taoist has stagnated in his cultivation for these years, so he stepped into the secular world and wandered around, looking for opportunities. When passing by here, he happened to see this task issued by the organization, and he took it thinking that there was nothing to do. Unexpectedly , that sneaky thing is so tricky, I tracked it several times, and only found some little ghosts driven by it. Later, when I heard something strange happened in the Ming family, I thought it might have something to do with that sneaky thing, so I came to the Ming house for this trip."
Now that it has been proved that the affairs of the Ming family have nothing to do with the sneaky thing he wants to catch, Lin Daochang naturally does not need to stay in the Ming family.
Gou Liang said: "Speaking of which, I was also present at the car accident that happened at the intersection yesterday."
Before he finished speaking, the caring Bi Xia had already taken out the bottle containing the crossroad ghost, and released the ghost that hadn't had time to refine.
This ghost also died in a car accident, and the death was so hurtful that Gou Liang even forgot the character design of the original owner who was timid and afraid of ghosts, so Bi Xia raised his hand to cover his eyes, took out the sunglasses from his backpack and put them on for him.
Gou Liang was stunned for a moment, smiled sweetly at Bi Xia, and then told Lin Daochang about the cause and effect of yesterday's car accident.
This ghost died three years ago, in a car accident at the intersection in front of Futaba Middle School. However, his death was not an accident.
He was originally a student of Futaba Middle School, his grades were very good, and he was eligible to be sent to colleges and universities. But the bad thing about nostalgia is that there is only one recommended spot, and his good friend is also eligible. For this spot, he was pushed into the driveway by his good friend without any precautions, and died on the spot in a car accident. Not only was he not brought to justice, but he got the recommendation quota logically, so his resentment turned into a ghost.
But because of his low cultivation, he only had bloodthirsty and escape instincts left.
Calculating what happened before and after this ghost, Lin Daochang sighed at the ghost screaming at him, and said: "The little ghost I captured before also had an unfortunate life experience. It's a pity that they have already committed murder, so even if they are sent Entering the reincarnation and returning to the next life will also make atonement for the sins of this life, and it will only be more unfortunate than this life.”
Gou Liang was not as compassionate as he was, and upon hearing the words, he only said, "Daozhang Lin has been investigating for so long, what clues do you have?"
Lin Daochang hurriedly said: "The old man is incompetent. After several days of investigation, we only found out that these little ghosts all died three years ago, and they were all related to Shuangye Middle School. They were either students or faculty members of Shuangye Middle School. But I entered Shuangye Middle School twice. Ye Zhongxue's investigations failed to find the perpetrator... I'm ashamed to say it."
Gou Liang waved his hands and said: "The world is so big, there are people outside of it, Daoist Lin don't need to underestimate himself. I'll go say goodbye to my friend, and then go to Shuangye Middle School with Daochang."
Mingming had already woken up, but his energy and blood were deficient, and his whole body was extremely weak.
He Huo had wanted to take him back to the capital for a long time, but he was afraid that the ghost possessing him had not been removed, so he dared not act rashly.
Gou Liang briefly mentioned the cause of the Ming family's misfortune to them, and asked them to go back as soon as possible, so as not to get involved in the Ming family's affairs.
He Huo naturally couldn't get what he wanted, but he still asked worriedly: "Although Ming Ming is not close to them, he is also a member of the Ming family. Will he also be hurt?"
Just relying on the group of cowards in the ancient tomb, naturally they would not have extremely vicious means of revenge. As long as they serve in a clear name, do not do evil, and do not covet things that do not belong to them, they will naturally not suffer backlash if they are upright.
Gou Liang opened his mouth and was about to explain, but then he thought that if he didn't do something, they would definitely feel uneasy, so he thoughtfully took out a pearl the size of a marble from the Qiankun Hundred Treasure Bag, and said, "This is I took it out from the cemetery, and it carried the breath of the ghost king of the Ming family. If Ming Ming carried it with him, he would be recognized by the ghost king as his own, and even if he had the blood of the Ming family, he would not attack him. Is it just the price... "
He Huo said very politely: "The price is easy to negotiate!"
So, Gou Liang, who had made a fortune from He Tuhao, excitedly invited Bi Xia and Lin Daochang to have a big meal in the urban area, and then transferred to Shuangye Middle School.
As soon as she stepped into Shuangye Middle School, Bi Xia frowned slightly.
"What's the matter, Bi Xia?"
Gou Liang was afraid that something here would be bad for him.
Bi Xia circled him and rubbed his chin against his hair to relieve the discomfort on his body. He said in a deep voice, "There is something sucking the spirit of ghosts here."
Both Gou Liang and Lin Daochang were shocked, and then under the leadership of Bi Xia, they found the thing that sucked the soul.
—It was actually a formation!
"It seems," Gou Liang said, "it's not ghosts that are causing trouble this time, but people's hearts."
