"I didn't notice just now, Master. Is this ghost a pervert? The kind that harbors great ill will towards women?" Ju Qiyue rubbed his fingers unconsciously, and said anxiously, "Junior Sister can't go with him. What if he harms her? How can she defeat him alone?"
"Don't worry, your little sister is very powerful."
"I don't believe what you said. The words I just said to encourage Junior Sister were all made up by me." Ju Qiyue said, "At that time, the difficulty of breaking through the formation was at the elementary level. I only needed to kill the red-clothed evil ghost that had not yet become the Ghost King. As a result, the Ghost King fell into the water and evolved prematurely.
When he realized my ill intentions, he started killing me as soon as he saw me, and I was killed instantly.
At that time, I felt that this formation was too difficult. All the ghosts were very unfriendly to me. If they were unhappy with me, they would come to oppose me. There were so many ghosts in the ghost town, and I was surrounded by ghosts. I couldn't escape at all.
The higher difficulty levels are definitely more difficult, and you might have to defeat many ghost kings."
Qi Qingren turned the watch on his wrist. "Actually, I'm not optimistic either. I think the ghosts in the ghost formation are a bit perverted. The last time I went in, I was at the intermediate level, and it was very difficult. The strong prophecy in my mind that I could pass the level if I did something was simply a ghost formation sending out to disturb me.
If it weren't for the last two Ghost Kings fighting, and I hadn't managed to kill one of them, I would have failed to pass the level."
"Also, why do I feel that Master dislikes that ghost?" Qi Qingren continued to mutter.
"A little scoundrel called my junior sister a little beauty right in front of you and asked her to go with him. Wouldn't you be angry?" Bai Shuo said, using an analogy. "Anyway, I was very angry."
Qin Shijun looked at his master's serious back and secretly lit a candle for the ghost.
On the projection screen, the black-clad ghost shuddered, then patted his chest and said, "Look at me, handsome, right? My little beauty, if you come with me, I guarantee that no one outside the city gate will dare to mess with you."
"What about inside the city gate?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"My little beauty, you are making fun of me. If I had a good time in the city, I could still guard outside the city gate." The evil spirit touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, "But I have the final say over there, and they all listen to me."
them? ?
Ju Jingbai turned around and saw a hundred or eighty ghosts dressed as refugees hiding behind tree stumps in the lush woods. The dogs looked at her furtively, their eyes sparkling.
Ju Jingbai: "..." This scene reminded her of the attentive gazes of Bai Yi and his group in the peach wood illusion. It seemed to be similar now? ?
"Are they all?" Ju Jingbai asked the evil ghost in black.
"Yes, they are all my subordinates. How about it, little beauty, if you agree to come with me, I can make them all listen to you." The black-clothed ghost was very confident.
"Are you a pervert?" Ju Jingbai frowned. She had a very bad impression of perverts.
"You figured it out." The black-clothed ghost paused and introduced himself, "My name is Wei Qiong. Before I died, I was the eldest son of an imperial merchant during the Jiaqing era. My cousin was the emperor's concubine, and my family is very wealthy.
I joined the army when I was young, but was later sent home after I became disabled. I drank to drown my sorrows and hung out in brothels every day, where I had many friends.
A brothel is a place where you can indulge in lust. If something like this happens once, it will happen again.
In the end, I died on a woman's belly, and after death I naturally turned into a lustful ghost.
Don't worry, I have never laid a hand on a decent woman.
Besides, you are an outsider, so you should know that the weakness of the sex ghost is three inches below the navel. If I do something wrong, my little beauty, you can just do it. I won’t fight back. "Wei Qiong said indifferently.
"Okay, my name is Ju Jingbai." Seeing Wei Qiong's frankness, Ju Jingbai also said.
"Come on, little beauty, I'll take you to see the world." Wei Qiong led his men towards the group of ghosts.
Ju Jingbai lagged behind Wei Qiong by one step. She reached out to touch the talisman in her pocket, but the talisman had disappeared. However, her clothes were still the same, which was totally out of place with the ancient attire of Wei Qiong and the others.
"Brothers, come out. This little beauty is an outsider. It's okay. She is not from the Ghost King's side." Wei Qiong shouted.
After Wei Qiong shouted, a group of people came out.
All kinds of ghosts surrounded them, some missing heads, some missing legs, some without faces.
Ju Jingbai watched closely and was frightened, but after watching for a few more minutes, she was able to look at the scene in front of her calmly. The group of ghosts in front of her had no malicious intentions.
"Come, little beauty, sit down for a while." Wei Qiong took the small stool at his feet.
Ju Jingbai sat down calmly, watching the ghosts floating around her.
She asked, "Wei Qiong, you just said I'm an outsider. Can you tell me about your situation here? And how did you know I was an outsider?"
"I know this because you are a living soul." A hanged ghost pulled the rope and smiled sheepishly, "The youngest ghost here is a hundred years old. Little sister, you are only in your twenties at most."
"We have living souls coming here for training every year. The last living soul was younger than you, but we didn't like him very much and didn't have much contact with him. He left soon after completing his mission." The shadow ghost hid behind everyone and added in a low voice.
"What's the matter with the ancient city? Wei Qiong said that you guys don't have a good life in the city. What's that?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"That ancient city is called Jiaocheng. The ghost king of Jiaocheng is brutal and cruel. We were afraid of being caught and eaten by the ghost king in Jiaocheng, so we moved to the outside of the city. We met Wei Qiong, recognized him as the boss, and then lived with him on the small hill over there." An old ghost woman, leaning on a willow cane, said.
At this moment, Ju Jingbai suddenly had a strong premonition in her heart that she needed to overthrow the rule of the Ghost King of Jiaocheng in order to get out of this ghost formation.
"Living on the top of a hill? Then why are you all gathered here today?" Ju Jingbai asked curiously.
That small hill is not close to the gate of Jiaocheng, so no one would come here without permission.
"Speaking of this, that damn Ghost King." A ghost cursed.
"The Ghost King is going to select a bride," the white-clothed female ghost said in a low voice. "He requires every family with a ghost of marriageable age to sign up. We are still residents of Jiaocheng, so we came here to find out how to deal with this matter. No one wants to marry their daughter off."
This ghost king is really "fashionable" and wants to do what the ancient emperors did.
"Can you still have children?" Ju Jingbai asked curiously.
She looked for a long time and really didn't think that this group of ghosts looked like they could reproduce.
"Of course not." Wei Qiong's mouth twitched. "What are you thinking? But we can't die easily. Everyone will have a remnant soul. If the main body is killed, the consciousness will awaken in the remnant soul. Only when the main body and the remnant soul are destroyed at the same time can we die completely."
"A woman of marriageable age is a girl who is decent-looking and only in her twenties or thirties when she dies."
Ju Jingbai was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"I see you have quite a few girls here. What are you going to do?"
"It depends on the situation. If it is really unavoidable, we will decide to draw lots for the ghost girl. My subordinates will then take good care of the girl's remaining soul." Wei Qiong's tone inevitably dropped.
"Where are you going to see? Can you take me with you?"
Ju Jingbai asked. She didn't know the specific situation and had no way to blame them.
"My beautiful girl, you're so pretty, so don't go. The Ghost King has posted an imperial edict in the city. We'll go take a look at it and ask the residents. We'll be back soon," Wei Qiong said. "If the Ghost King's men see you, you'll definitely be captured. I can't guarantee I can rescue you in the city. If you leave, where will I find another beautiful girl like you?"
Before Ju Jingbai could figure out how to convince Wei Qiong, he saw tall, black-clad ghosts coming out of the city. They were waving willow branches and rushing towards him.
"Excuse me, who is Wei Qiong?"
Wei Qiong's expression changed, and he stepped forward to block the exposed Ju Jingbai and the white-clothed female ghost. He changed his playful expression and said seriously, "Officer, I am Wei Qiong. What's wrong?"
"We've received a tip-off that you've hidden the king's potential bride and taken a beautiful ghost with you," the leading officer said. "You're ordered to hand over the ghost now, or we'll eat you."
"Officer, which of your informants told me this? I swear to God, I control my subordinates very strictly. When I see women of marriageable age, I ask their families to sign them up to contribute to the king's career. I dare not keep them privately!" Wei Qiong exclaimed.
"Boss, we found two."
An officer saw Ju Jingbai and the female ghost in white hiding behind.
"Take the ghosts away, dress them up nicely, and let them enter the palace for selection."
