The familiar scenery made Gu Wang dazed, and it took him a moment to realize that the snake pill and snake skin together could produce an illusion.
Candle Girl and Lantern Shadow Po were eager to protect their master, so they hurried over. Seeing the snake pill, they felt relieved. "So it's the relic of that master."
Gu Wangze asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
The Candle Girl bowed and said, "My Lord, over four hundred years ago, when we two became ghosts, this lord had already been entrenched in Beiyuan Mountain for quite some time. However, when he transformed into a dragon, he couldn't survive the thunder tribulation and unfortunately died."
Lantern Shadow Po added, "That lord's illusion technique has reached perfection. This inner elixir has the spiritual power of when he transformed into a dragon. His cultivation is comparable to that of an earthly immortal, and he can even turn illusion into reality."
Gu Wang raised his hand and touched it. The vermilion doorpost felt rough, and he could actually touch it!
What was he worried about just now? With this snake pill, wouldn't he be able to upgrade the infrastructure immediately?!
And it doesn’t cost any money!
Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to communicate with the snake skin and snake pill in his hand.
The scene of the Taoist temple shattered and disappeared, and the true appearance of the amusement park was revealed, and began to change rapidly again.
The simple walls around it turned into blue brick and stone walls. Green sprouts emerged from the soil at the base of the walls, growing rapidly into vines, entwining around the walls and blooming small flowers.
There is a ticket booth outside the entrance, which is a few square meters in size. It looks like a cute ghost, and the window is right at the ghost's mouth. It is not only not scary, but also very cute.
The changes within the park were even greater. Unused areas were covered in a white mist, like an unlocked map in a game. Only the small cement bungalow where Gu Wang lived and the haunted house were visible.
The pebbled paths connect all the places, with green pebbles as the base and white pebbles forming round skulls, just enough for an adult to step on one at a time.
In the vacant spaces, there are seats in the shapes of various strange beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Some are smooth, and some are fluffy, so tourists can choose what they need.
There are street lights on both sides of the road. The lamp posts with fine lines are erected high, and red lotuses are hung on the thin chains hanging down. At night, they will turn into fire lotuses to illuminate.
The appearance of the haunted house has also changed. The originally ordinary little house has become a two-story Chinese-style embroidery building. However, the exterior of the embroidery building is dilapidated, with dried mice and spider webs hanging in the corners, and the smell of a haunted house comes out immediately.
The most outrageous thing was the place where the sign was hung at the door. A stone tablet gradually solidified from vague to solid, and two large, eerie characters appeared on it: Fengdu.
Rumor has it that Fengdu is the seat of the underworld, and Gu Wang used this name to give his amusement park a boost. Since people from the underworld don't come to the human world anyway, no one cares if he's just selling dog meat under a guise.
The changes gradually stopped.
Gu Wang opened his eyes with regret. He had originally wanted to change the small bungalow where he lived, but although he had a lot of spiritual power, most of it was used to suppress the negative energy in his body, so he could only change it to this extent.
Fortunately, the amusement park has undergone a major transformation in appearance, and it will definitely be very effective in attracting tourists.
He looked back again and saw the little black snake twisting into a wavy line happily, obviously benefiting a lot from this change.
Gu Wang flicked its head and said, "Think less about stealing and focus more on cultivation."
It was also a coincidence that the day after the amusement park changed, Xu Xiaoming came back from a business trip and went straight to the amusement park to shoot a promotional video for the boss.
He had contacted Boss Lin and knew what the amusement park would look like after renovation. On the way here, he was still thinking about how to do the post-production so that the boss's amusement park would look more attractive.
However, when he got to the place, the little fat boy opened his eyes wide in surprise and almost didn't recognize him!
We agreed to build only a haunted house, but it looks so gray?
Where is the simple wall that looks like a chicken coop?
Is his girlfriend's father trying to scare him?
The amusement park was so beautiful in the early morning that Xu Xiaoming didn't even have time to meet Gu Wang. He picked up the camera and started taking pictures, using the drone he had just bought.
Under the camera, the green wall is wrapped in green, especially after it rained in the morning, the deep green leaves and dotted flowers are lovely.
Every detail in the park reflects the theme of "supernatural", including the stone roads paved with skeletons, the ticket booths made into ghosts... and even the red lotus street lamps with faint flames!
Especially the haunted building, standing in the misty rain, it doesn’t seem to exist in reality.
Even the entire amusement park interprets this theme: viewed from the air, the park is surrounded by wasteland and forests, with only the park standing magnificently in the middle, much like the home of ghosts and foxes in Liao Zhai, which invites guests for banquets at night and turns into a desolate grave during the day.
Xu Xiaoming had filmed enough footage, and contentedly put away his camera. He said to Gu Wang, "Boss, how did you build this amusement park? Which construction team did you hire?"
Gu Wang shook a finger and said, "It's unspeakable."
Xu Xiaoming understood, "Don't worry, Boss. I'll be busy with post-production these next couple of days and it'll be online next week. It's a shame I don't have that many followers. If I let those big bloggers with millions of followers post it, it's guaranteed to go viral. It's really beautiful!"
Gu Wang smiled and said, "Take your time, there's no rush."
Xu Xiaoming: "That's true. You're running an amusement park in such a remote place, so you probably don't need money."
Gu Wang: "That's still missing."
The weekend soon arrived, and Xu Xiaoming's video had not been posted yet, but the amusement park welcomed someone else.
Gu Wang looked at the police officer in front of him, bewildered. "What did you just say? Someone reported me for something?"
The leading policewoman said solemnly, "Someone reported you for practicing feudal superstition here. We have to check it out."
Gu Wang was so dumbfounded that he knew who had reported him. Zhang Lei, after being frightened once, didn't even think about behaving properly, but actually wanted revenge.
He stepped aside and allowed them to check, and produced his business license and various documents as requested, all of which had been completed in the past.
After checking, the police realized that the report was false. They saluted and said, "Sorry to interrupt your business. Your amusement park has a unique theme. Please be careful and don't cross the line."
Gu Wang smiled and said, "I understand. I'm sorry to trouble you."
The policewoman also smiled and said, "It's what we should do."
Gu Wang watched them leave. It seemed that just scaring people was not enough. It would be annoying to run into a few more people like Zhang Lei. He had to find another way.
Thinking of this, he called Grandma Dengying, Candle Girl and the little black snake who refused to leave to hold a meeting and conduct job training.
A piece of gossip quickly spread within Yaoguang University.
I heard that a sophomore boy went to a haunted house and was so scared that he became hateful and reported the owner as soon as he left, accusing him of being a superstitious person.
When the police arrived, they found out that it was completely false, so they drove over in a police car and criticized him.
The gossip became more and more detailed, even the reason why the boy went out to relax was revealed. It was said that he was rejected by the girl he liked.
Some curious people couldn't help laughing and said that this guy must be a coward. First he was rejected by a girl, and then he was scared by a haunted house. It's just a haunted house, how scary can it be?
Zhang Lei was already very concerned about his reputation, and he couldn't stand being criticized by the police. Now he became the subject of gossip. He always felt that everyone on campus was laughing at him, and he didn't even want to leave the dormitory.
But not many people are paying attention to him now. Most people are asking, where is the haunted house? Is it really scary? Is it fun?
The students at Yaoguang University were miserable, living in this desolate northern suburbs, with not even a karaoke bar nearby. They had to walk a long way to get to a supermarket. If there really was a haunted house nearby, they'd go, even just for the novelty of it!
In a boys' dormitory, someone pushed open the door and walked in, pulling the person lying on the bed to their feet. "Xiao Liuzi, stop being depressed. It's just that you didn't catch up with the goddess! Didn't you catch up with Zhang Lei either? Come on, I found out where the haunted house that scared Zhang Lei is. Let's go there!"
Chang Xu threw his hand away unhappily, "Don't call me Little Six, you're still Little Four. Besides, why would I go to a haunted house?"
The fourth brother said, "Just think about it. That kid Zhang Lei was so scared in a haunted house that he peed his pants and called the police. I almost died of laughter! If you go there and aren't scared, you'll outshine him! Let's see if he dares to compete with you for the goddess!"
The others chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Liuzi, we'll go with you! All six of us in the dormitory will go!"
"Give me courage!"
"Kill that coward Zhang Lei to death! He even talks bad about girls behind their backs. I despise him!"
Chang Xu glared, "Did you say something bad about my goddess? Fuck! Let's go, let's go! I'm going to go in and out of the haunted house seven times! I'm going to make a video to humiliate him!"
The other five people in the dormitory cheered and went out together.
As the group reached the school gate, the fourth brother poked Chang Xu and asked, "Is that your goddess?"
Chang Xu looked up and saw two men and one woman standing at the school gate.
The girl among them was not tall and her appearance could only be considered pretty. She wore no makeup and was dressed very simply. Her big eyes made her look very lively.
It was Chang Xu’s goddess Zhou Tong.
However, the two boys next to her looked at her as if she were a peerless beauty, and were spitting at her to fight for her date rights.
One invited her to a bar, another invited her to a hotel, and one of them pulled her arm and wouldn't let her leave.
Zhou Tong stood in the middle with dull eyes, not knowing why she had fallen to this point. She thought that if there was a sewer nearby, she would rather jump in.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Chang Xu noticed the goddess' embarrassment and immediately stepped forward to save her and invited her to go to the amusement park with him.
Zhou Tong weighed the pros and cons for a moment. With six people here, those two would definitely not dare to take action. So she lowered her head and followed Chang Xu.
This girl is really wronged.
She has been an ordinary girl since she was a child. She has an average family background, average looks, limited academic performance, and is not a genius who always gets first place in exams.
I grew up in such an ordinary and stable way, but who would have thought that I would change once I entered university!
I don’t know if it’s because Yaoguang University and she are not compatible, but ever since she started college, there are always strange people who say they like her at first sight and insist on dating her.
One would be fine, but Zhou Tong encountered no fewer than ten in a short period of time! While people are free to be paranoid, aren't there too many paranoid people here?
Moreover, these people seemed to not understand what she said. Even though she clearly refused, these people would secretly make plans to fight over her ownership.
She wanted to say that she was a person and belonged to herself!
These experiences have made Zhou Tong afraid to leave the house. She can only go between the dormitory and the classroom. She dares not put on makeup and looks as gray as an ugly duckling, for fear of attracting other people's attention.
Even so, sometimes during class, people would look at her like a pervert and compliment her, saying, "Classmate, you are so pretty."
She wanted to go crazy and say: "It's not pretty at all! Big brother, open your eyes and look! I haven't even washed my face today!"
Today she wanted to go out quietly to buy some daily necessities, but was blocked again.
After reviewing her miserable college life, Zhou Tong curled her lips and said, "Thank you for helping me out today. I'll..."
However, when he looked up, he was stunned. He saw a stone tablet in front of him that was as tall as a person. On it were two large characters that looked small but were inexplicably majestic and even eerie: Fengdu!
Zhou Tong was bewildered. What was going on? Was she so unlucky that she could end up in the underworld just by taking a casual walk?!
The author has something to say:
Candle Girl & Lantern Shadow Granny: We have nothing to do with feudal superstitions, we are just ordinary office workers!
