Chapter 416 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 47

The early morning bell rang, and a cold wind blew outside the house. It was not as gentle as the usual evening breeze, but it was bitingly cold, as if it could penetrate clothes and reach people's hearts.

Chen Xinran knew that this was a sign that the Ghost Gate was about to open. She immediately lit three incense sticks and walked in the direction of the smoke, and ordered Zheng Tong, "Follow."

"Okay." Zheng Tong nodded and followed Shen Xinran obediently.

Chu Bojian seemed a little embarrassed. He muttered quietly: "Should I follow or not?"

Shen Xinran turned around, frowned and thought for a moment, "You hold the glass jar."

Chu Bojian felt like crying, but he still picked up the jar and followed Shen Xinran tremblingly.

As the Ghost Gate opened, countless ghosts poured out and began to wander the human world. On the streets, apart from Chu Bojian and Shen Xinran, there were no other living people.

The ghosts surrounded Shen Xinran and Chu Bojian in a circle, laughing loudly.

Shen Xinran ignored it, walked through the ghost and continued forward.

Chu Bojian was not so courageous. He froze in place and shouted in fear: "Save me, save me!"

Shen Xinran turned around and threw a talisman in the direction of Chu Bojian. A golden light flashed and the ghosts were blown away.

The ghosts stared at Shen Xinran with resentful eyes, wanting revenge, but Shen Xinran's cold voice rang out in the night: "You only have this one day a year. If you don't want to seize the time to reunite with your loved ones, then I can consider sending you back."

The ghosts were frightened and could only watch Shen Xinran leave.

At this moment, Chu Bojian looked at Shen Xinran with eyes full of admiration, as if he saw light above Shen Xinran's head.

He puffed out his chest, raised his chin, and looked like a smug man. He challenged the ghosts, "Come over here if you dare."

A ghost stood up and bared its teeth at Chu Bojian. Chu Bojian shrank back in fear, quickened his pace, and stuck close to Shen Xinran.

Shen Xinran glanced at Chu Bojian, feeling amused and helpless.

Shen Xinran followed the swirling smoke and walked for half an hour before finally finding the Ghost Gate. She instructed Zheng Tong, "Get into the jar quickly."

Zheng Tong first looked behind her and found nothing. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But she still obeyed the order, turned into a wisp of smoke, and got into the jar.

Chen Xinran placed a speed charm on the jar and lowered his voice to Zheng Tong, "Find a place to hide after you go in. When these ghosts return, blend in with them. If the ghost messenger asks you about it, just say you know nothing. You're young, so they won't give you any trouble."

After finishing all this, Shen Xinran looked at Chu Bojian and asked, "Can you play football?"

Chu Bojian nodded, his voice slightly nervous: "A little bit."

Shen Xinran said simply: "That's fine, just kick this can in."

Chu Bojian's eyes widened. "Kick...kick it in? That's not good."

Shen Xinran frowned and said firmly: "There's nothing wrong."

Chu Bojian took a deep breath and kicked the jar. The glass jar drew a perfect parabola in the air and flew into the ghost gate accurately.

Not long after, an earth-shattering cry came from inside the Ghost Gate, "Ah! Which bastard dares to throw things into the Ghost Gate!"

"Oh no, run!" Shen Xinran grabbed Chu Bojian's hand and ran towards home. As she ran, she set up a fog formation to block the ghost's vision.

Chu Bojian glanced back and saw a ball of black gas overflowing from the ghost gate. He was so scared that his head buzzed and he ran even faster, wishing he had two more legs.

Hei Wuchang strode out of the Ghost Gate with a furious look on his face, a large bump on his head. He looked around and asked the ghosts around him, "Who is throwing things at the Ghost Gate?"

The nearby ghost trembled and replied, "A man and a woman, they don't look very old."

Hei Wuchang's face turned gloomy, and he continued to ask, "Where are they?"

The ghosts pointed in different directions and said in unison, "It went that way."

Hei Wuchang's rage erupted like a volcano. He shouted angrily, "What a bunch of rubbish!"

At this time, Bai Wuchang also walked out of the ghost gate, holding a broken glass jar in his hand, and said seriously: "This is what hit your head."

Hei Wuchang took the jar and saw that it was a broken candy jar with the words "White Rabbit Milk Candy" clearly printed on it.

He was so angry that his eyelids twitched violently and smoke seemed to be coming out of his head. He shouted to the sky: "Don't let me catch you, or I will drag you to hell!"

Shen Xinran grabbed Chu Bojian's hand and ran all the way back home. She turned to look at Chu Bojian with a hint of shock in her eyes, "You call this knowing a little?"

Chu Bojian also looked innocent, "I didn't know there was anyone down there!"

Chen Xinran panted and said, "If we hadn't run fast, our souls would have been captured."

Chu Bojian asked nervously, "Who was that just now?"

Shen Xinran replied, "Black Impermanence."

Chu Bojian's face turned pale in an instant. It was all over. He actually offended the ghost catcher.

Chu Bojian held Shen Xinran's hand and asked with bated breath, "He won't come after us, will he?"

Shen Xinran shook his head and said calmly: "It's okay, I set up a fog array, they can't find us."

Chu Bojian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to die young.

Shen Xinran yawned, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Chu Bojian had a sad face and said, "I can't sleep. Can I sleep on the floor in your room?"

There was a hint of contempt in Shen Xinran's eyes, "Aren't you very brave?"

Chu Bojian said righteously, "I'm afraid that the ghost messenger will come and find you. I can protect you."

Shen Xinran just said "Oh" lightly.

Chu Bojian asked anxiously, "What do you mean by oh?"

Shen Xinran said, "Just stop snoring."

Chu Bojian grinned and assured, "Don't worry, I don't snore."

Then he immediately ran back to his room, rolled up the quilt into a ball, and placed it neatly beside Shen Xinran's bed.

In the darkness of the night, Chu Bojian was still a little uneasy: "Is your fog array useful?"

Shen Xinran sighed and said, "It's useful. It can block the sight of ghosts."

Chu Bojian was still worried: "What if the fog array is broken by Hei Wuchang? What should we do then?"

Shen Xinran sat up directly from the bed, set up another Bagua formation, and then looked at Chu Bojian: "Is it okay now?"

Chu Bojian nodded and asked, "What kind of formation is this?"

Chen Xinran said unhappily, "The Bagua formation can make ghosts lose their way. Besides, after tonight, the Ghost Gate will close and they will return to the underworld."
