The Five Ghosts, also known as the Five Plagues, the Five Plague Messengers, and the Five Plague Messengers, are ghost officials in the underworld.
The five ghosts are Zhang Yuanbo of Spring Plague, Liu Yuanda of Summer Plague, Zhao Gongming of Autumn Plague, Zhong Shigui of Winter Plague, and Shi Wenye, the General Manager of Central Plague.
These are what I learned from the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
After Liu Ruyi took the "Five Ghosts Steps", her fingers flew, and the incantation of summoning gods was chanted, five figures slowly emerged in the open space in front of her. They gradually became solid from being illusory at the beginning.
The five men were extremely strong, more than eight feet tall, and their looks were rough and even ugly.
One held a ladle and a pot, one held a leather bag and a sword, one held a fan, one held a hammer, and one held a fire pot.
After they appeared, the middle-aged couple at the door of the wooden house trembled with fear, and the little boy in their arms was so scared that he dared not make a sound.
On the contrary, the old woman Liu Ruyi had a calm expression on her face.
"Why did you invite us here?"
The first person who appeared spoke loudly.
The man wore an iron crown, held an iron sword, had a face as black as charcoal, and had a beard. He was Zhao Gongming, one of the Five Ghosts.
This was probably the first time Liu Ruyi had invited the five ghosts. When she saw the five ghosts appear, she showed a look of surprise and secret joy on her face. Then, she glanced at the female ghost Tong Xue floating in the distance, and said to Zhao Gongming: "Sir, I invited you here. I am willing to dedicate all my good deeds and hope that you can help me exorcise the ghosts!"
Devote all your good deeds
Damn, that Liu Ruyi was so cruel to me. She looked like just an old woman, but what she did was so decisive and cold.
"What ghost are you trying to exorcise?"
Zhao Gongming put his hand on the iron sword and asked in a loud and clear voice.
He was indeed a ghost official from the underworld, and his voice was full of energy.
"It's her. She's the one who exorcised that evil ghost! The evil ghost itself isn't very powerful, but it has a red lacquer coffin. I hope you gentlemen can help me!"
Liu Ruyi pointed her finger at the female ghost Tong Xue who was floating in the air in the distance.
Zhao Gongming looked at the others and saw that the other four ghosts looked normal. He nodded and said to Liu Ruyi, "Okay, in that case, it will be as you wish. We will help you exorcise the ghosts, and you contribute all your good deeds!"
"Yes, sir, as long as you can kill that ghost, you can take away all the good deeds I have done!"
"good!"
Zhao Gongming agreed in a loud voice. Then, he and the other four ghosts all stared at the female ghost Tong Xue floating in the air.
At this time, the ghost girl Tong Xue's eyes had become much clearer. And I found that when she looked at the "five ghosts", a fearful look appeared on her face. But after she looked at the little boy in the arms of the middle-aged couple, she clenched her fists and became fierce again.
I stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
I wanted to help the ghost girl Tong Xue, but it was impossible. I was no match for the five ghosts. Besides, I was a Taoist priest, and although the five ghosts were also ghosts, they worked for the underworld. If I intervened, wouldn't I offend the underworld
Thinking of this, I suppressed my anxious mood.
I thought to myself, Tong Xue, Sister Tong, today’s matter will depend on you alone!
Then, the five ghosts, led by Zhao Gongming, surrounded Tong Xue.
Soon, a large amount of ghost energy overflowed from the five ghosts. The ghost energy was overwhelming, covering the souls of the five ghosts and Tong Xue.
For a moment, even though I had just smeared crow tears on my eyelids, I couldn't see the situation inside the ghost energy at all.
Too rich.
And thinking about the terrifying aura of the five ghosts just now, I thought to myself, I'm afraid that this time the female ghost Tong Xue is in danger! Even if her soul is not annihilated, she will probably be captured.
I was also angry, but I still didn't understand the conversation between Liu Ruyi and Tong Xue.
Because I had doubts in my heart, I slowly walked towards Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi had been injured by the female ghost Tong Xue before, and now she invited the five ghosts. It can be said that she is now completely powerless to resist.
Seeing me walking towards her, Liu Ruyi's arm, which was leaning on a crutch, trembled slightly.
"What do you want to do? You bastard, do you want to fight me now?"
Although Liu Ruyi looked weak, I could tell that she was already at the end of her strength. It would take her a while for her body to recover.
Now she is just bluffing.
I raised the corner of my mouth and said in a cold voice: "You old woman, why are you pretending? Don't think I don't know that you have no strength left. Still fighting? Funny, if you still have strength, release a fire talisman for me to see!"
I stared at Liu Ruyi with amusement in my eyes.
Liu Ruyi might have been annoyed by what I said. She covered her mouth with one hand and started coughing.
She pointed her finger at me and said angrily, "You are simply a charlatan!"
Damn it, she actually called me a charlatan! Doesn't she remember how she treated me before? If I hadn't found a way to restrain the Taoist formation from the "Nine Yin Ghost Technique", I'm afraid I would have been suffocated to death in the coffin and turned into a corpse.
"Stinky old woman, stop being so unreasonable! Your heart is more vicious than a poisonous snake. Not only did you steal someone's child, but you also wanted to kill me. I can't imagine how someone like you is qualified to be a Taoist priest. How dare you say that!"
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for your age, I wouldn't bother to argue with you... I would just go up and kick someone like you to the ground with two kicks! How could I possibly let you go?!"
Perhaps my words irritated Liu Ruyi, her eyes widened and she angrily pounded the ground with her cane. At the same time, her body trembled, her shoulders shook, and she started coughing violently.
After a while, Liu Ruyi spat out a mouthful of bright red blood from her mouth.
"You are so abominable, you bastard!"
After Liu Ruyi said this, perhaps because of physical weakness, she finally couldn't stand and fell directly to the ground.
A middle-aged couple hiding behind the door in the distance saw Liu Ruyi falling to the ground, and they hurried over with the little boy.
The middle-aged man helped Liu Ruyi up from the ground and held her in his arms.
He yelled, "Mom, how are you? How are you? You can't die! You can't die..."
The middle-aged woman on the side kept crying.
The little boy next to her also cried out in sobs: "Grandma, grandma... ... Don't die, I want you to live, you are the best to the stone. I don't want to die! ... ... "
Although Liu Ruyi was a sinister person, when she saw the little boy, her eyes showed kindness.
Liu Ruyi gently raised her hand, stroked the little boy's cheek, and said weakly: "Shitou, don't cry, grandma won't die. Grandma's life span is not over yet, how can she die? I'm just too tired!"
“Yes, yes, yes… Grandma, you won’t die. The stone won’t let you die!”
As he said this, the little boy suddenly broke free from his mother's hand and rushed towards me.
I didn't expect the little boy to rush towards me.
I was in amazement when the little boy rushed over to me. Then a very funny scene appeared. The little boy kept waving his fists and hitting me. While hitting me, he shouted, "I won't let you bully my grandma, I won't let you bully her..."
But to be honest, he had no strength at all.
But when I heard the little boy keep saying his name was "Shitou" instead of "Junjun", I started to get suspicious. Yes, if the little boy was really Junjun, how could he change his personality? The child is already able to remember things.
While I was thinking about it, the middle-aged woman pulled the little boy away from me.
Before I could say anything, the middle-aged woman knelt down in front of me.
She begged me with tears, "My dear little brother, I beg you, please let my family go. Please let us go. Although this child is not my biological child, he is my son, my stone. I beg you, please have mercy on me and let my family go..."
It seems that the middle-aged woman knew what Liu Ruyi had done.
But the child is not the middle-aged woman's biological child, yet she says it is her son "Shitou"? What's going on? Isn't this contradictory?!
Thinking of this, I decided to ask for clarification.
At this time, the middle-aged man shouted at the woman, "Fengqin, what are you doing? Don't talk nonsense. Shitou is your child. He is our son Shitou. Don't talk nonsense!"
Having said that, the middle-aged man tried to pull the middle-aged woman and the little boy away.
At this time, I had already appeared in front of the middle-aged man with the Gangbu step.
I chanted an incantation and threw a talisman out, which stuck to the middle-aged man's body.
The man's body was frozen, unable to move.
When Liu Ruyi saw that her son was pinned by me, she tried to get up from the ground.
But she had no strength left and failed to stand up after trying twice.
But even so, she still stubbornly shouted at me, "What on earth do you want to do, you bastard? If you dare to take the stone away, I, Liu Ruyi, will kill you even if I die!"
I have really seen through this old woman Liu Ruyi. She is really unreasonable! She looks kind and benevolent, but behind the scenes she is a vicious and sinister person.
So I simply filtered out her words and ignored her.
I looked at the middle-aged woman who was hugging the little boy and crying, and asked, "What happened to your son is beyond my expectation. But if I am not wrong, this child is not your child at all. If you still have a conscience, give the child to me and tell me what happened to him?"
The middle-aged woman stared at me with horror, and her hands holding the child's body tightened a little!
The middle-aged man stood by and shouted at the woman, "Don't say it, don't say it... Fengqin, if you say it, I will divorce you and we will no longer be husband and wife!"
Under the scolding of the middle-aged man, the woman did not explain after all, but continued to squat there crying.
At this time, Liu Ruyi was probably a little too anxious and exhausted. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mom, mom...how are you?"
The middle-aged man's face was full of anxiety and he was shouting loudly.
I was also a little surprised, so I hurried to Liu Ruyi's side to see how she was doing.
But what I didn't expect was that the old woman suddenly opened her eyes again. She suddenly raised her hand and stabbed a steel needle directly into my chest.
