Chapter 213 Absurd and Tragic Life
"With just this little ability, you still dare to call yourself a trump card?"
Huo Qinghuang seemed unaware, and her voice echoed in the attic with a hint of teasing.
These words were too ironic. The skeleton struggled a little, and the aura it exuded became even sadder.
"Tsk, he's a ghost king after all, but he's already gone after just two or three rounds. He's really useless."
Huo Qinghuang continued to mock, but stopped when he saw that the skeleton still did not react.
However, the evil ghost still had its bones left. Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the skeleton.
The next moment, all kinds of scenes came into her mind.
This is a "sad" ethical story.
Hundreds of years ago, there lived a poor couple. The husband was as handsome as Pan An, while his wife had an ordinary look, barely pleasing to the eye.
They had two daughters. After the birth of the youngest daughter, the family became even poorer. They often had no food to eat and going hungry was a common occurrence.
After discussion, the couple cruelly threw their hungry little daughter at the doorstep of a family. As for whether she could survive, it all depended on her luck.
But even so, it couldn't stop them from becoming increasingly poor.
Drought and locust plagues followed one after another, and their only eldest daughter starved to death.
The husband couldn't stand the hunger any more, and finally one day, he left his wife and went far away to seek a way to survive.
More than ten years later, the husband returned home alone in glory. At this time, he no longer remembered his ex-wife. With the help of a matchmaker, he married a young wife who was in her teens. They were a perfect match, both talented and beautiful.
It would be fine if the story ended here, but the explosive part is yet to come.
One day, a maid was hired into the family. The husband did not recognize the maid at first, but later he realized that the maid was actually his original wife.
But now he already has a young wife and is unwilling to recognize his original wife.
Until one day, the young wife's parents came to visit. The original wife was shocked when she saw them and hurriedly asked about the young wife's identity.
It turned out that the original wife had abandoned their youngest daughter and left her at the doorstep of the young wife's parents.
And this little wife was none other than their little daughter whom they had abandoned back then.
After knowing the truth, the original wife screamed and fainted.
The husband was also stunned and filled with remorse.
As for the young wife, she could not accept the fact, so she put on her red wedding dress and hanged herself in the attic.
The young wife's resentment had not yet subsided, and she became the wedding dress ghost we see today.
Huo Qinghuang rubbed his brows and sighed, "Human beings are indeed complicated. We can encounter all kinds of strange things."
She looked at her little wife, uh, skeleton, with sympathy and sighed, "Your fate is indeed very sad. In order to prevent you from continuing to be sad, let me swallow you in one gulp."
“…”
The skeleton was speechless, but it was shaking even more violently.
Huo Qinghuang blinked and asked curiously, "You have been a ghost for so many years, why didn't you swallow your father after he died?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a surge of violence suddenly gushed out from the skeleton's body, knocking the furniture in the attic all over the place with clanging sounds.
Seeing this, Huo Qinghuang waved his hand lightly, and the hostility was suppressed by an invisible hand and dissipated into nothingness in an instant.
She curled her lips slightly and said with disdain: "You couldn't bear to kill your father for revenge, so you harmed others. It seems that your death is not unjust."
The skeleton still did not respond, but a faint light seemed to flash in its empty eye sockets, as if silently accusing something.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head and said speechlessly, "You are stubborn and stubborn. No matter how deep your resentment is, you can't change anything. Your father has long been reincarnated. If you keep holding this resentment, you can only be a lonely ghost in this attic and never be reincarnated."
She paused, then continued, "However, if you let me swallow you obediently, I will help you get rid of it and let you reincarnate. How about that?"
The white skeleton seemed stunned by these words, and it trembled slightly, as if saying, do you think I'm a fool?
How can I be reincarnated if I have swallowed up all my souls?
Huo Qinghuang shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "My methods are so brilliant, how can a little ghost king like you figure it out?
It is because I feel sorry for you that I am so kind and am willing to help you this time. If you are willing, I will immediately send you to reincarnation."
The skeleton was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
Huo Qinghuang then nodded in satisfaction.
It's not that she couldn't eat the evil ghost alive, but this white skeleton was the soul of the female ghost. No matter how greedy she was, she had no appetite to eat this white skeleton.
"Since you have already agreed, show your true form so that I don't have to waste any more time."
She said lightly.
The skeleton's body was quite simple. As soon as Huo Qinghuang finished speaking, it trembled and turned back into the appearance of a female ghost in a wedding dress.
But at this moment, she was naked, as if she was just like the old saying: We come into this world naked and we go naked.
Huo Qinghuang looked him up and down and couldn't help but droop the corners of his mouth.
It would be fine if he couldn't beat Huo Jiayue, but now he can't even beat a female ghost. It's really infuriating!
She hung her head and pointed a finger at the forehead of the ghost in the wedding dress.
The next moment, a figure walked out from the body of the wedding dress ghost, and his appearance was exactly the same as the wedding dress ghost.
This human figure is exactly the soul of the wedding dress ghost. If she lets this soul go to reincarnate, the remaining two souls and seven spirits will be her trophies.
Well, the best of both worlds.
However, this female ghost had swallowed many innocent souls before. If she goes to the underworld like this, she will definitely not escape the punishment of the hell. It seems that she needs to find some connections.
So, Huo Qinghuang summoned the underworld's evil spirits without hesitation.
…
Jia Xu was dragging the soul-catching chain, running around in every corner of the human world to prevent ghosts from causing trouble.
It was the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, and the underworld was empty. Not only were every household on earth busy burning paper money and worshiping their ancestors, but these ghost officials were also not idle and came to the human world to maintain order.
Of course, you can also enjoy some offerings.
Most of the people who worship these underworld officials are still in the major sects.
Those Taoists usually have close relations with the underworld. During the Ghost Festival, they would set up incense tables and offer sacrifices to the underworld in order to seek protection from the underworld.
Jia Xu had just come out of a Taoist temple, holding a handful of incense money in his hand. He was happily thinking about receiving more offerings tonight, when he suddenly felt a powerful summoning force.
"Hmm? Who is the powerful one who summoned the Yincha?"
Jia Xu frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
Those who can directly summon the ghost messenger are either high-ranking officials in the underworld or those powerful people in the human world who have achieved great spiritual power.
No matter which one it is, it is not something that an ordinary Black Impermanence like him can easily deal with.
He did not dare to delay and quickly rushed over in the direction of the summoning power.
