So what about witchcraft?
So what if we become a demon that everyone hates?
He just wanted his Qiqi to be strong enough, so strong that she could still survive even if he was not around.
Therefore, he could no longer let Qiqi be restricted by him.
Shen Qiqi didn't know this. Seeing Xie Beiming acquiesced, she immediately became excited and rubbed her hands together and said, "Then, shall we start now?"
Xie Beiming shook his head: "Not yet." He squinted his eyes and looked at the sunset that was still halfway up the mountain. "Wait a little longer. When the sun sets and everyone goes back, you can call them out to take over."
Shen Qiqi thought about it and realized that it was true.
At present, the disciples of Qingyin Peak and Baozhuan Peak have not finished their work yet. If she calls those ghost guests out to work now, it will not be good if people and ghosts mix together.
The mountain breeze blew slowly, sending away the sunset and the disciples from Qingyin Peak and Huichun Peak who came to help with the work.
As soon as the hour of midnight arrived, Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to pull Xie Beiming out.
It’s a nice day today, and the bright moon is like a jade plate, hanging quietly in the sky.
Under the sky, behind the rocks bathed in moonlight, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the rocks.
This was a middle-aged man, covered in blood, with knife wounds all over his shoulders, chest, and legs.
The most serious one was the one on the heart. There was a bloody hole as big as a baby's fist, which was pierced through in half, as if it was caused by a spear.
When he arrived at that station, besides the gloomy murderous aura, there was also the murderous aura that he brought back from the battlefield.
I think this ghost uncle must have been a soldier in his lifetime, maybe even a general.
At this moment, the ghost uncle had a pale face and looked at Shen Qiqi blankly, while Shen Qiqi looked at Xie Beiming cautiously.
Xie Beiming said: "One is not enough."
Without saying a word, Shen Qiqi immediately summoned another ghost helper, and then she subconsciously looked at Xie Beiming again.
Just like a child who has just learned to walk, he subconsciously looks at his parents with every step he takes.
The head of the family, Xie Beiming, rubbed his forehead, sighed softly, and said, "If you continue to summon helpers one by one like this, it will be dawn by the time you gather all the helpers, Qiqi."
"..." Shen Qiqi thought to herself, do you think I'm willing to go through so much trouble? I'm just afraid of attracting too many ghosts at once and making you angry again.
But it seems that you don't seem to be angry.
That’s it!
Shen Qiqi instantly lost her worries and immediately drew the talisman and made some hand gestures.
Soon, one dark shadow after another emerged, from far and near, behind rocks, under streams, and in valleys, and as if attracted by a large magnetic field, they swayed and gathered in one direction.
And the place where these dark shadows gathered was exactly where Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming were.
The hill in front of the two people was soon filled with a large number of dense black shadows.
Most of those dark shadows were young and middle-aged men, and there were also a few strong women.
Their appearances are different. There are soldiers who died on the battlefield like the ghost uncle, some with healthy limbs died of illness, some died tragically with missing limbs, some are hanged ghosts with long tongues hanging out, and some are water ghosts with wet bodies.
Among them were two headless ghosts holding their heads.
There are hundreds of ghosts and hundreds of appearances, and the ways of death are different, but without exception, they all have pale faces.
For a moment, the evil spirit filled the sky, and the moon was so scared that it hid in the clouds.
Shen Qiqi was used to seeing these things, so she didn't feel scared or uncomfortable.
On the contrary, when she saw these things, she felt a faint sense of familiarity stirring deep in her heart.
In her previous life, when she was despised by the world and hated by everyone, it was these ghosts lingering in the darkness who accompanied her through the first period of suffering.
People often say that ghosts are scary, but in fact, ghosts are not scary. What is scary is humans.
Shen Qiqi thought.
But she can adapt to these things, but she doesn't know if Xie Beiming can adapt to them as well.
Shen Qiqi subconsciously looked at Xie Beiming again. Seeing that there was no ripple on Xie Beiming's face, Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and unceremoniously assigned tasks to the ghost helpers.
"Uncle, please lead us to dig out this mountain."
"Brother, I see you have quite a lot of arm strength. Why don't you take a few of your brothers and go over there to chisel the rocks. Once you chisel through the rocks, a waterfall will come down."
"Auntie, have you ever picked lotus before? Oh, you have a ten-acre lotus pond at home? That's great, why don't you take a few aunts to work by the lotus pond over there?"
…
Shen Qiqi shuttled among the ghosts, assigning tasks one by one, as if she was surrounded not by a group of ghosts but by a group of living people.
Xie Beiming watched silently from the side, his gaze fixed in a straight line, following the pretty figure among the group of ghosts without shifting for a moment.
Fog would form in the mountains at night, the air would become moist, and the long eyelashes would also become moist, making Xie Beiming's eyes look indescribably elegant.
Chen Qiqi occasionally turned around and met his gaze, giving him a sweet smile, and Xie Beiming also raised the corner of his lips in return.
All the ghost mercenaries received their own tasks and began to get busy.
The entire Baozhuan Peak is filled with people working hard, and the atmosphere is bustling with activity. However, it is so quiet that not even a sound can be heard.
This situation looks somewhat scary and weird.
Fortunately, she was not so anxious to call out these ghost servants during the day, otherwise she would have scared a group of young disciples.
But the little disciples were still frightened:
When they finished work yesterday, more than half of the soil in the mountain had not been dug up. But when they came back today, they found that all of it had been dug up, and even the flowers and plants were planted well.
And that lotus pond, that rock that still needs another ten days to chisel through... How come everything is finished?!
The disciples who came to help with the work looked up at the waterfall pouring down, confused and shocked.
