The dark clouds dispersed, and the full moon was cold and pale. The moonlight fell on the ground as if covered with a layer of silver frost, making the whole school unusually cold. Heavy panting and breathing echoed in her ears, and she couldn't tell what was coming from it. Maybe the panting sound was her own, but who was the other breathing? She didn't know.
She could only run forward, because something was following her closely. She could hear the other person's breathing, right behind her. From her heart to her throat and nose, she felt as if she was burned by fire and had difficulty breathing. She knew that this was the consequence of intense exercise. But she couldn't stop, because if she stopped, she would be dragged away and killed like her other companions.
She pushed open the warehouse where the sports equipment was stored and slammed the door shut, locked it and held it with her back. Something outside the door was hitting the door, causing it to tremble. The girl moved some heavier sports equipment behind the door to block it. She saw the appearance of the thing outside through the door and window. Its flesh was squeezed into a pile and looked extremely hideous.
The girl was terrified and regretted it. She shouldn't have agreed to her classmates' suggestion to come to the school to explore in the middle of the night. There were students missing in the school recently, so why was she so curious? !
She squatted on the ground with her knees hugged, covering her ears and closing her eyes, not daring to listen or look, praying for dawn. Therefore, she did not hear the ghost outside, who looked extremely ferocious with flesh on his face, as if he saw something in the warehouse and became extremely angry. She also did not see a huge head appear above her head, with its tongue hanging down, and saliva dripping from the bright red tongue to the ground, making a "tick, tick" sound. The long hair of the head hung down in a bunch, fell on the ground and quietly crawled towards the girl.
The girl must not have the patience to listen to all the weird legends of the school during the day. According to the legend, she cannot enter the girls' restroom on the second floor, cannot stare at the clock in the third class classroom, cannot look at the mirror at the entrance of the teaching building, and... absolutely cannot enter the warehouse where sports equipment is stored!
The girl whimpered and cried. The ghost at the door banged harder. Its food was snatched away again, so it was extremely angry. But it was too late. The stinking saliva dripped onto the crying girl's arm. She felt strange. Saliva kept dripping from her head. She smelled it curiously, but was disgusted by the stench and vomited. She looked up and found a female corpse floating above her head, grinning at her, with a bright red tongue hanging in front of her to lick her face.
The stench directly enveloped her sense of smell, making her roll her eyes. Even more disgusting was the fat, white bugs that kept wriggling out of the eye sockets and nostrils of the female corpse's head and fell onto the girl's hair and face.
"Ahhh!!!" The girl screamed madly, pushing away the equipment blocking the door and trying to escape, but the long hair of the female corpse's head wrapped around her neck and dragged her back into the air. The girl stuck out her tongue, her eyeballs rolled up, and struggled hard and painfully.
At some point, the ghost outside who was also coveting the girl disappeared, but the man and ghost in the warehouse didn't pay attention to it. Just as the head of the female corpse was about to break the girl's neck, a loud shout came from outside: "Follow the wind, gather the qi to be true. What evil will not be subdued, and the offender will be destroyed. Hurry up and send the order of the Northern Yin Xuantian Fengdu Yujue Emperor."
The warehouse door was broken open, and dust was visible to the naked eye. A talisman broke through the air in the dust, accompanied by the Fengdu Killing Ghost Curse, and pierced the head of the female corpse in the warehouse. Instantly, white smoke billowed, and the head was burned by the talisman and screamed. After letting go of the girl, he quickly retreated and tried to escape in the blink of an eye.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Chen Yang ran in quickly and grabbed the long hair of the female corpse's head. He threw her to the ground with great force and made a dent. After the female corpse's head was hit so hard that she had no power to resist, he kicked it straight with his foot, turned in front of it and printed the copper coin on its forehead. The red rope was wrapped around ten fingers and made a seal: "She committed suicide due to emotional injury and did not report to the underworld. She hid in the warehouse and killed three people. Now even if you want to reincarnate, you have to go to hell to atone for your sins first!"
Hearing this, the female corpse head in the underworld, who knew Chen Yang's purpose and was terrified, screamed and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, please let me go!"
Evil ghosts and fierce ghosts that killed people are not to be trusted. Not only did Wu Ye teach him this, Du Shuo also taught him this. Chen Yang was unmoved and directly summoned the Fengdu ghost messenger: "... All the generals, hurry up. I have the order... to drive them away for me. Hurry and send the order of the Northern Yin Xuantian Fengdu Emperor."
The knocking of the iron chains and the footsteps of the ghost messenger were like a mountain pressing down on the evil ghosts, frightening them so much that they kept trembling and dared not even struggle before being dragged away. The ghost messenger also greeted Chen Yang. As usual, Chen Yang burned a few gold ingots for him. The ghost messenger refused twice and then happily accepted it, and by the way tried to please the sister-in-law: "You have caught four evil ghosts this month. As usual, we have recorded it and will definitely not forget to reward you when the time comes."
Chen Yang waved his hand and smiled: "Just remember it on Brother Du's head."
"Okay. No problem." Husband and wife are one, so it doesn't matter who gets the blame. The ghost expressed his understanding.
After saying hello, the ghost messenger left. After all, he was busy catching wandering ghosts everywhere. Chen Yang stretched his arms and legs to loosen up his muscles. Tonight, he solved the evil ghost that was doing evil in a nearby junior high school that had been rumored for a long time. This month's workload was considered completed. He looked back at the girl lying on the ground, who was not sure whether she was choked or frightened. He was a little troubled, so he walked over and used a calming spell to wake her up.
An Mi woke up slowly, and suddenly realized that the female corpse she had just seen screamed. Chen Yang shook his shoulders, covered one ear, and snapped his fingers in front of her: "Quiet."
An Mi stared at him in a daze. Chen Yang said, "It's all right now. Go home as soon as possible." After that, he stood up, wrapped the red rope and the copper coin back on his left hand, and then walked towards home. If he didn't go back, Du Shuo might come to find him. The two agreed on a time. If he didn't go back after two o'clock, Du Shuo would appear in front of him.
The warehouse door was wide open, the cold moonlight shone in, and the cold February wind blew, making a terrifying sound. An Mi, who had already broken out in a cold sweat, followed Chen Yang trembling with fear, ran up to him and asked, "Are you the top student in the third grade of xx Middle School, named Chen Yang?"
Chen Yang nodded: "Do you know me?"
"I know him. I'm also in this school, a senior. But I'm in a regular class. My name is Anmi." Anmi smiled shyly, and suddenly thought of her other classmates. Her expression suddenly changed: "My other classmates are also in school. What should I do?"
Chen Yang: "I'll let them wait for you at the school gate, and you can go home together. Don't come to places like this casually in the future. If you provoke those unreasonable evil spirits, they will kill you directly. You won't always be lucky enough to wait for someone to rescue you."
An Mi curled her hair in shame and said, "I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again. But, are you the Heavenly Master? The Heavenly Master shown in TV and movies? It turns out there really are such people." Her eyes were full of admiration. Chen Yang was not only a top student, but also a Heavenly Master who could catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. What an amazing operation.
Chen Yang smiled, and when he saw An Mi's blushing cheeks and shy expression, he immediately sounded the alarm in his heart. He planned to casually reveal that he already had a partner to reject An Mi, if An Mi confessed to him. He had used this trick to reject many girls before, and it worked. Chen Yang married Du Shuo in his second year of high school, and with his personal teaching, his Taoist skills improved a lot.
From being the target of ghosts' teasing, the prey who constantly escaped from the mouths of ghosts, he turned into a predator and became a well-known terrifying master. Without the harassment of ghosts, Chen Yang was able to show his true strength in learning. He quickly rose from the last to the top ten in his grade, and finally sat firmly in first place and was expected to be admitted to the imperial capital B University. In addition, Chen Yang was very handsome, so he naturally became the target of many girls' secret crush in the school.
An Mi stared at Chen Yang's handsome face, her heart pounding nervously, and she clenched her fists to cheer herself up. When Chen Yang opened his mouth and said, "Actually, I—" An Mi suddenly interrupted him, fell in front of him, clasped her hands together and saluted, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"
"…" Chen Yang had a blank expression on his face: "I have something else to do. I'll leave first. I won't say goodbye." After he finished speaking, his feet were like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, only the background was left. An Mi estimated the distance between the two people. Although she felt melancholy, she thought that they were in the same school and felt that she still had a chance. The cold wind blew twice, and An Mi's back felt cold. She shivered and ran quickly towards the school gate.
Chen Yang tiptoed through the door and walked into the house. After a few steps, the lights in the house were bright. He looked at Du Shuo who was sitting in the living room, and immediately stood up and walked in front of him: "Are you still waiting for me?"
Du Shuo glanced at the time: "One minute left." It was one minute to two in the morning. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yang came back. "It's a bit late today. With your skills, it shouldn't take too long. Did something unexpected happen on the way?"
Chen Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded, "I went to that haunted school and found that some students sneaked in to take risks, and ended up being haunted by ghosts. It took some time to rescue them, but it was a close call." He pulled Du Shuo's sleeve and shook it gently: "Are you angry?"
Du Shuo glanced at him, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch the back of his neck and said, "No." He was not angry about such a small matter. "Go take a shower and go to bed early. Isn't school starting tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded, because school starts tomorrow and it's the second semester of senior year, and he has to prepare for the college entrance examination. So he can't go out in the middle of the night to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, nor can he accumulate merit for Du Shuo. "Are you hungry? I'll prepare a midnight snack after I take a shower."
"No need. Let me ask you something. Why did the ghost catcher remember my name when you were catching the evil ghost?"
Chen Yang leaned towards Du Shuo and stretched out his neck for him to pinch. He narrowed his eyes slightly and seemed to feel quite comfortable. He replied nonchalantly: "I am accumulating merits for you. Aren't you a little ghost messenger? If you want to get promoted or become a ghost fairy, you need merits. In the past two years, apart from handling the affairs of the underworld, you have been staying by my side and teaching me. You have no time to accumulate merits for yourself. I will accumulate them for you."
Du Shuo's heart, which had been calm for thousands of years, suddenly beat a few times, and the feeling of disordered frequency made him dazed. He subconsciously withdrew the hand that was pinching the back of Chen Yang's neck. The feeling of his heart being stirred continuously during this period of time was not pleasant.
As the Emperor of Fengdu, Du Shuo did not need this feeling of being out of control, nor did he like it very much. Therefore, he distanced himself from the two of them, put his hands behind his back and said to Chen Yang, "Go take a shower."
Chen Yang didn't notice Du Shuo's distance, and walked upstairs while asking: "Let me make your bed first. The weather is getting cold, so you need to add a blanket. I touched your hand just now, it was very cold."
He still sleeps in his own room upstairs, while Dushuo has been sleeping in Chen Yang's parents' bedroom for the past two years. In the first year, Dushuo rarely stayed overnight, but in the second year, he stayed overnight more and more, and recently he stayed overnight every night. Chen Yang naturally welcomed it, after all, if Dushuo was not in the whole building, he would be the only one left, and the loneliness and coldness would not be so pleasant.
Du Shuo's fingers curled up slightly, but he didn't realize that his body temperature was lower than that of an ordinary person. He lowered his eyes and rejected Chen Yang's suggestion to make the bed: "Don't make the bed in the future."
Hearing this, Chen Yang turned around on the stairs: "Why?"
Du Shuo: "Not very suitable."
"How come?" Chen Yang's eyes widened slightly. "I used to make the beds for my grandfather, Grandpa Wu, and my parents. In winter, I made the beds for them. They would be warmer and more comfortable to sleep in."
Du Shuo stared at Chen Yang expressionlessly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was somewhat dangerous: "You make the bed for me because you are filial?"
Chen Yang blinked and turned to go upstairs: "I'm going to take a shower." Hearing Du Shuo snort behind him, he quickened his pace and went back to his room to take a shower, feeling a little guilty. In fact, it was not his fault, because Du Shuo had been teaching him Taoism for two years, and later managed some of his irregular living habits, which gradually made Chen Yang more and more dependent on him, thinking that he was like his brother and father.
Furthermore, Dushuo had some habits similar to those of the elders in the village, such as drinking tea, drinking alcohol, and standing with his hands behind his back. He couldn't stand the way he sat and stood, so he strictly forbade him to eat snacks, especially candy. More importantly, since Grandpa Wu passed away, he would appear in his dreams every night, worryingly admonishing him to be filial to Dushuo, just like he was to his parents.
He was admonished for almost three months, which completely diluted Chen Yang's original sadness over Grandpa Wu's death. By the time he saw Grandpa Wu off, he had no expression on his face and could not even cry.
After taking a shower, Chen Yang put on his pajamas and dried his hair. He quietly opened the door and found that the lights in the living room downstairs were off. Du Shuo's door was closed, so he secretly went downstairs and took out the whole box of sugar jars hidden in the cabinet and hid it in his room.
When he closed the door, Du Shuo's door opened. He walked out and stared at Chen Yang's door, sneering twice, and hung upside down on the roof to look inside from the window. He found that Chen Yang struggled for a long time while looking at the sugar jar, but finally hid the sugar jar and went to sleep. Du Shuo was satisfied and went back to his room.
As soon as Du Shuo left, Chen Yang immediately got up from the bed, took out the candy jar, turned on the small desk lamp and laughed slyly. He peeled off the candy wrapper while reviewing the textbook, and soon ate all the candy in the candy jar. After eating, he ran to brush his teeth and went back to bed to sleep, with a sweet smile on his face.
A month later, Chen Yang's tooth decay damaged the nerve of his tooth and caused half of his face to be numb due to the pain. With tears in his eyes, he grabbed Du Shuo's sleeve and refused to let go: "It hurts."
Du Shuo was so angry that he lost his temper: "Be good, go to the dentist now." He opened his mouth and saw that fortunately only two teeth were rotten. One of them damaged the tooth nerve, so it hurt so much that half of his face was numb. The other one could be fixed. He was still young and didn't have all his teeth rotten.
Chen Yang held Du Shuo tightly, his eyes red, and he sniffed: "Oh."
