Then, I took Yuquan and the young couple into the small house.
The sudden attack of the talisman I used just now on the dead ghost also made the ghosts outside the small house violent.
The ghosts and spirits had ferocious looks on their faces as they rushed towards the little house.
"Oh no! Those ghosts are coming!"
The woman, Lingling, screamed in panic, her shoulders trembling constantly, and tears welled up in her eyes because of fear.
I turned my head to look at the young couple and comforted them, "Don't worry, they are just little ghosts. There is a statue of Zhong Kui in your house, so they dare not come in easily."
However, as soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little embarrassed. Because there were too many ghosts, and it was midnight. This was the time when ghosts were most vicious.
If I hadn't angered that unjustly dead ghost and attracted the attention of those ghosts, I might have sent those ghosts to the underworld by now.
But it's too late to say anything now.
The ghosts were not afraid of the statue of Zhong Kui, and rushed into the house from the door and windows. Many ghosts hid their souls and turned into ghostly auras, rushing around in the house.
I quickly called Yuquan and said, "Yuquan, go get the statue of Master Zhong Kui. I will fend off these ghosts first."
"Okay! Brother Yang, I'll go right away."
At the same time, I told the young couple, "You two should stop standing there and stand behind me."
At this time, more than a dozen ghosts had entered the small house. A cold wind blew in the small house, and many tables and chairs were blown over. The chandelier hanging above my head was also shaking "click-click", and the light became unstable.
I took out a dozen ghost-exorcising talismans from my cloth bag and fired them at the same time. Suddenly, beams of fire spread and burned in the middle of the small house, and crashed into the bodies of the ghosts.
For a moment, the sound of "puff puff puff" was heard in the small house.
My peach wood sword is damaged, so I can only use the Phantom Night Needle.
The Phantom Night Needle was controlled by my Yin De Qi, and it moved left and right in the small room, constantly piercing through the souls of those ghosts. Many injured ghosts retreated.
They are just some little brats and are no match for me at all.
Even so, the ghost didn't get close, but the young couple Zhou Jiang and Lingling standing behind me were still scared to death.
Their bodies were trembling, and their eyes were filled with fear. Two of them grabbed my clothes tightly, making it impossible for me to dodge. But it was nothing, just some little ghosts, I really didn't care.
In a short while, just a few breaths, the ghosts were repelled by me and flew out of the small house.
At this time, the street view could no longer be seen outside the small house, and all that could be seen was a dark and ghostly atmosphere.
The entire barbecue restaurant was enveloped by the ghost energy released by those little ghosts.
Yuquan has returned holding the statue of Zhong Kui.
"Yuquan, put the statue of Master Zhong Kui at the door!"
I gave an order.
Yuquan placed the Taoist statue of Zhong Kui at the entrance as I instructed.
At this time, the ghosts outside started to make chaotic noises again. It seemed that they were frightened by Zhong Kui's Taoist statue. After all, in ancient times, Zhong Kui was an expert in catching ghosts.
What surprised me was that just after Yuquan placed the Taoist statue of Zhong Kui, white light suddenly emanated from the statue.
The white light enveloped the Taoist statue of Zhong Kui.
Then, a shadow suddenly shot out from the white light.
"How dare you come here and make trouble, little devil! I will punish you."
That's the clock
Kui's Dharmakāya! It actually emerged from the statue of Zhong Kui. The voice was so sonorous and powerful, who else could it be but Zhong Kui!
This is incredible. I used to think that door gods, Taoist statues, and the like were just for show. But today, the facts prove that I was wrong.
After Zhong Kui's Dharma body appeared, it rushed towards the ghosts with a red sword in its hand.
Suddenly, a roaring sound came from the ghost, and the sound was filled with panic.
After a while, the ghostly aura outside gradually dimmed.
Then the street scene in the distance slowly emerged.
As Yuquan and I and others looked on in astonishment, Zhong Kui's Dharma body actually transformed into an illusory human figure and appeared in front of us.
He has a leopard head, round eyes, an iron face, curly beard, and eyes that are wide open... ...exactly the appearance of Zhong Kui in the Taoist statue.
Zhong Kui's Dharma body appeared in front of us, holding a fiery red sword in his right hand and a black porcelain bottle in his left hand.
Zhong Kui looked at Yuquan, and finally his eyes fell on me.
He asked me, "Are you the ghost-catching Taoist priest, Yang Tianyi?"
I swallowed, feeling a little nervous.
I hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I am the Taoist priest who catches ghosts, Yang Tianyi."
But how did Zhong Kui know my name? This is really strange.
After hearing what I said, Zhong Kui raised his hand and handed me the black porcelain bottle, saying, "This is the jade bottle for collecting souls. It contains the forty-nine ghosts I just collected. You can keep this jade bottle for now, and return it to me when you reach the underworld in the future."
Damn, happiness comes too suddenly.
Zhong Kui actually wanted to give me the "Soul-collecting Jade Bottle" and told me to return it to him after I went to the underworld. This was really a great honor for me.
But how did Zhong Kui know that I would go to the underworld? Was he so sure that I would be able to collect 10,000 points of Yin De
"Yes, Master Zhong Kui!"
Then, I slowly took the small black jade bottle from the hand of Zhong Kui's Dharma body.
But this is not the end, there is more good news to come.
Seeing that I took the "Soul-collecting Jade Bottle", Zhong Kui then handed me the fiery sword in his hand.
"This is my 'Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword'. You can take this too!"
What? You want to give me even the magic sword that Zhong Kui himself wears
I was confused. Although I was inexplicably excited, I didn't know what to do.
"Master Zhong Kui, what do you mean? I don't quite understand. This is your own magic sword, and you gave it to me, so you..."
But before I could finish, Zhong Kui said in a loud voice: "The magic sword is mine, but I am not giving it to you. I am just lending it to you temporarily. Just like the 'Soul-collecting Jade Bottle', you can give it back to me when you reach the underworld."
Go to the underworld and return it again
Seeing my bewildered look, Zhong Kui asked, "Hasn't the Black and White Impermanence informed you of the news from the underworld yet?"
How did this get to the Black and White Impermanence again? I was confused again.
I shook my head and said, "Master Zhong Kui, I don't understand what you mean by this?"
Zhong Kui looked at me, casually touched the big black beard on his body, and said, "It's like this, the underworld has allowed you to become a ghost official. As long as your life span is over, your soul can go to the underworld at any time."
Oh shit, this is explosive news.
But why
Seeing my puzzled look, Zhong Kui explained: "It's like this. Last time, didn't you kill the two ghost kings together with Monk Xiangyun?"
I nodded. It was indeed me who killed the ghost king last time.
Zhong Kui continued, "Those two ghost kings escaped from the Pluto Tower in the underworld, so you and Master Xiangyun have some knowledge of the underworld.
"You have made great contributions. Moreover, the King of Hell has issued an imperial decree to make an exception and confer titles on you and Monk Xiangyun as ghost officials."
"As for the magic sword and the soul-collecting jade bottle I gave you, the head of the Gongyang Pavilion, Magu, has informed me about it, so you don't have to worry about it."
I see. How could Zhong Kui, a ghost official in the underworld, know me? It turns out that he has a relationship with Lady Magu. This also explains why he gave me the "Soul-collecting Jade Bottle" and the "Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword"!
"Thank you, Master Zhong Kui, thank you very much!"
I clasped my fists towards Zhong Kui, and then I took the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword
This is an awesome magic weapon, used exclusively by Zhong Kui, a ghost official in the underworld. It is many times better than my peach wood sword.
Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Okay, now that this matter is over, I will return to the underworld first."
"I'll leave these ghosts to you. I still have time, and it's inconvenient to carry them around with me."
"Yes! Don't worry, Master Zhong Kui, I will take care of these ghosts!"
After a while, without saying a word, Zhong Kui's Dharma body slowly became illusory and transformed into several rays of light and shadows, which sank into the Taoist statue of Zhong Kui.
The white light on the statue flashed a few times, and then everything returned to calm.
"Oh my God, Amitabha! Amitabha! ... Brother Yang, you are so amazing. Even the Lord Zhong Kui in the underworld sent you a gift. He also said that when your life span is over, you can directly join the underworld and become a ghost official. This is amazing!"
It was indeed a sudden event. However, being able to directly join the underworld was also a good thing.
In this way, I don’t have to spend so much effort catching ghosts and accumulating good karma.
However, as a ghost hunter, I also have my own responsibilities. If I encounter a ghost, I still have to take care of it.
At this time, the young couple was already scared silly.
The one who appeared before was a ghost, and now a big, strong, bearded ghost official from the underworld has appeared. This has greatly stimulated their cognition.
"That person is... the Zhong Kui from the underworld, right? It seems the legend is true. Zhong Kui really exists and can really catch ghosts."
"This is incredible! I actually saw the messenger from the underworld."
The woman muttered something, her hands tightly grasping my clothes.
Zhou Jiang, who was standing next to me, stared at me in a daze. After a while, he said in a trembling voice, "Master, who are you? How come you know the ancient ghost catcher Zhong Kui? Aren't you also ghost catchers?"
Ghost catcher
I find this name very interesting.
I smiled mysteriously at Zhou Jiang and his wife Lingling and said, "This matter is not something you can know. Now, I have dealt with the ghosts outside your barbecue restaurant for you. Next, you just do as I say."
"First, tear down the west wall of your house so that I can cast a spell to liberate the ghosts and send them to the underworld."
"Yes, yes, Master, we will call someone to help tear down the wall."
This time, Zhou Jiang was even more agile than before. He happily ran out of the barbecue restaurant and went out to call for help.
As for me, I put away the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword.
There are seven points of origin on the blade of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, which is the pattern of the Big Dipper. It looks like this sword is quite powerful. It seems that when I go to the underworld in the future, I still have to thank Magu and Zhong Kui.
Of course, if I could really find the "fruit of rebirth", I wouldn't have to go to the underworld. After all, I don't like it there very much.
