Chapter 31 Fengdu Ghost Town

"Remember, in order to save your life, there are twenty-three souls who have lost the qualification to reincarnation. From then on, the soul is gone and dissipated between heaven and earth. This is the cause and effect you owe. The final outcome is that you will do more good deeds from now on and don't let these souls sacrifice for you in vain."

The Taoist priest's words came from behind me. Without saying it, I also understand that what he released from the gourd should be the souls of the lonely ghosts he collected from outside, and he planned to reincarnate them in the underworld. However, these evil ghosts were cruel and aggressive, and they specifically sucked weak souls. If these sealed souls were not released at this moment, my earth soul might have dissipated between heaven and earth from now on.

"I can do it, I will definitely cherish this hard-won life. As long as I am still alive for one day, I will do more good deeds and try my best to save the suffering creatures." The Taoist priest's behavior at this moment was equivalent to exchanging twenty-three lives for my life. I was both uneasy and moved, and shouted in tears.

Finally, because more weak souls appeared, these evil ghosts no longer stared at me, but flew towards the Taoist priest's position. I turned my head and looked at it, and happened to see the scene of the twenty-three souls fleeing around by the evil ghosts. But how could these evil ghosts let go of the food in their mouths? They opened their mouths and bit a soul in front of them half. For a moment, there were monstrous begging for mercy and terrifying screams behind me. The evil ghosts seemed to have enjoyed it even more, narrowing their bleeding eyes and showing a comfortable smile on their faces...

"Thank you." Seeing the lonely ghosts sacrificed their tragic sacrifices for me, I had no courage to continue watching. I turned my head, pulled my legs, and ran forward quickly regardless of the scatteredness.

I ran for more than ten minutes in one breath, and finally no longer heard the miserable cry for help and mercy behind me. I slowed down a little.

"This is......"

After jogging forward for another five or six minutes, I saw a huge city rising from the ground not far away. The dark wall was more than a hundred meters high, filled with the vicissitudes of life and majestic atmosphere. In the center of the wall, the huge word "Fengdu" was engraved.

"Fengdu Ghost City?!"

I blurted out, shocked in my heart. Could it be that the legendary ghost town really exists?

Thinking of this, I was so excited that my steps could not help but speed up, wanting to get closer to one of the most classic parts of this mythological allusion.

But before I could take a few steps, I saw a ghost wearing a ragged gray coat, ragged face, and a wooden crutch in my hand approaching me. My heart tightened and I thought I had encountered some evil ghost again, so I hurriedly took a few steps back, stood there, quietly observing its movements, and responded in time.

It's strange that the ghost moves slowly. After getting close to me three meters away, he lowered his head, leaned on a crutch in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand towards me.

I didn't understand what it meant. After observing it carefully for a moment, I found that it seemed to have no malice, so I slowly moved my steps around its position and walked quietly ahead.

After I took a few steps, it followed again, still lowering its head, leaning on a crutch in one hand, and reaching towards me with the other hand.

"What does it want to do? Are there beggars among the ghosts? But I don't have money either."

I didn't understand its intention, but after a few experiments, I found that I didn't move, and it stopped moving, keeping begging. However, once I moved, he would move a little closer in my direction, and the distance between the two sides had been pulled from the original two meters to less than one meter.

"If you keep walking like this, it will definitely keep getting closer to me. What should I do? Run?"

After the situation was wrong, and the ghost seemed not as easy as I thought, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and finally I decided on a thought, that is, to run. Seeing that it is slow to move, it may not be able to catch up with me, otherwise if it gradually approaches like this, ghosts will know what its final purpose is.

Thinking of this, I ran towards the city. After more than ten steps, I turned my head and looked back, and the ghost that was entangled with me was missing. I felt something was wrong. Sure enough, when I turned my head again, I found that he was standing less than a meter ahead of me, leaning on a crutch in one hand and slowly reaching towards me with the other.

But at this moment it no longer lowered its head, but instead raised its head and stared at me tightly. I saw a trace of anger from his dusty face.

In this way, the situation became awkward. This ghost was definitely not as unbearable as it appeared. If he really got angry, he would probably suffer any losses. So I didn't dare to move, and just stood there motionlessly waiting.

"Boy, what are you doing?" After holding this for more than a minute, the Taoist priest in a colorful Taoist robe came and asked curiously.

"This thing has been pestering me." Hearing the Taoist priest's voice, I suddenly felt as if I had found a small boat in the ocean, and my nervous heart also calmed down.

"Oh, haha, you must have run away in front of it just now. This thing cannot be run or beaten." The Taoist priest walked over with a smile, reached out and took out a few coins from his pregnant woman, and put it into the palm of the right hand that the ghost stretched out in front of me. However, the ghost was still staring at me. The Taoist priest continued to smile, "Oh, it's not enough, take all these."

After saying that, the Taoist priest took out two coins from his arms and put them in the ghost's hand. The ghost then withdrew his gaze, lowered his head again, leaned on a crutch, and walked towards the side step by step.

"Hu..." The entangled thing in front of me walked away, and I felt relieved. Then I let out a deep breath and asked, "Master, why can't it fight or run? Why does it automatically give way if you give it money? Could it be really a beggar?"

"Have you heard of buying money from the road?" The Taoist priest looked at the ghost who was gradually moving away and said, "There is a Taoist that is difficult for little ghosts to deal with. This is a beggar among ghosts. It only seeks wealth and does not live. It is better to provoke the King of Hell and not provoke the little ghosts. This is the reason why you would rather provoke the King of Hell than provoke the little ghosts. If you give it money well, it will let you go. If you provoke it and make it uncomfortable, it will try every means to pester you tightly. If you don't make your head bleed, you will never leave easily. So when you encounter such a little ghost, I would rather spend some money than provoke them. Although they are not very capable, it is also very difficult to get crazy, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"Oh." I nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time I was secretly glad that the Taoist priest came in time, otherwise I would have suffered.

"Because I often come to this ghost town to do business, I bought a house here, which is a temporary place to settle down. When we get there, I will teach you how to send dreams and ask your relatives to help you restore the sun." After entering the ghost town, the Taoist priest took me and walked towards the inside of the city.

"Come here, come here to see, there is a high-quality Yin-gathering Talisman, which can gather Yin energy and make your soul stronger."

"Don't miss it when you pass by. I have Maoshan Zhu Youke's magic to expel evil spirits, which are suitable for ghosts to remove evil spirits from their bodies and restore their thinking and will..."

......

The ghost town is extremely large. It took more than half an hour to reach the Taoist priest's destination. This is a place similar to the pedestrian street in our city. As soon as we walked in, it was filled with all kinds of small vendors, setting up stalls, and shouting to do business next to the street. However, the things they sell are very strange, most of them are talismans and the like. Even so, it is still quite lively here, with ghosts walking around everywhere.

Looking at this prosperous scene, I felt like I had walked into the downtown area. If it weren't for the sun in the sky and the gloomy everywhere, I would probably think I had returned to the world and was walking on the streets.

"They are actually doing business?" I asked curiously.

"What's so strange about this? This is the famous ghost town's street. Most of the people who shout here are the exchange items and experiences of some people in the world who know how to exorcise ghosts and travel through the two worlds to come here. Here, as long as their souls are out of their bodies, they can exchange items, but in the world, they must travel hundreds or thousands of miles in person, which is better or worse, and determine the superiority." The Taoist priest seemed very famous here. Several souls came towards him and greeted the Taoist priest, "There are many people in the world here, so they look prosperous. In fact, this ghost town is very dilapidated and very chaotic. Even I dare not wander around inside the ghost town. The area we are in now is the outer city of the ghost town. In the inner city, only real ghosts and extremely powerful ghosts are qualified to move in. Do you understand?"

"Master Cuttlefish, are you here to buy goods again?" Another burly middle-aged man was facing him. After seeing the priest, the man bowed respectfully and said, "Your Fish Sect is really talented. There was Cheng Dongqing before, and now Mr. Li is back in the world. I'm afraid that even Zhang Daoling, the limelight of Master Zhang Tian will be suppressed by your Fish Sect in this era."

"Haha." Taoist Priest Cuttlefish seemed very happy and said with a smile, "It's serious. Master Zhang Tian is the founder of Taoism. Who can shake his status in Taoism? However, this time Mr. Li hosted the Southern Sect Immortal Festival and he really needs to buy a lot of things. At that time, the Southern Sect Immortal Festival is opened, and Taoist Priest Wang must come and watch it."
