I quickly wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, held her cold hand, and said excitedly, "Xiaomo? Can you hear me?"
Su Xiaoniu nodded, and a smile gradually emerged from her originally stiff face: "Silly..."
"I'm a fool! I'm a huge fool! I didn't even know you were gone! Xiaomo, I'm glad you're back!" I laughed so excitedly that I didn't even know what nonsense I was babbling...
"Big fool... I like hearing you call me girl..."
"Okay, I'll call you girl from now on!"
"Big fool... chant the Heaven and Earth Purification Mantra for me..."
"Okay!" I hurriedly recited the Heaven and Earth Purification Mantra. Su Xiaoniu had taught me this mantra before I came to the Ghost Village. I had no idea what it was for, but there must be a reason why Su Xiaoniu had told me to recite it. But after just two sentences, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, a dizziness, and passed out. Perhaps the strain on my body had just exceeded my normal tolerance.
When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was the dazzling sunlight, followed by Feng Ling's worried face. I covered my aching head and sat up, only to find that I was surrounded by a lake and lying on a boat with a boatman rowing behind me.
I frowned and asked Feng Ling how I got to the boat. I was clearly digging for corpses just now...
Feng Ling was relieved to see me wake up, and said, "You finally woke up, otherwise I would have sent you to the hospital for emergency treatment..." She took me from the excavation site to the outside of the woods, and then told me everything about her encounter with the boatman.
Then it dawned on me.
Feng Ling asked me curiously, "Hey, when you fainted just now, the 'girl' you kept saying was your sweetheart?"
Damn, she heard all this!
I nodded, but Feng Ling laughed at me and said how could you call your sweetheart like that... I ignored her and hurriedly called out to Su Xiaoniu in my heart, but what surprised me was that Su Xiaoniu still didn't respond... Could it be that they left Su Xiaoniu there?
Damn it!
"Go back! Go back quickly!" I was anxious and rushed forward to grab the boatman's oar.
The boatman, unhurried and letting me grab the oar, spoke calmly, "The ghost sedan chair of the underworld is driven by the new Ghost King. Last night, you witnessed the 'Ghost King's Ascension Ceremony' held by the ghosts in this area. It's also a small 'Ghost King Festival'. It can be considered a small event held by the ghosts in the underworld. If it were a real 'Ghost King Festival', the scene would be much grander and more impressive."
My oars suddenly stopped. "Ghost King Festival? Why then, girl... well, I mean, the ghosts in this area hold the Ghost King Festival, but will ghosts outside this area who come here also be affected?"
The boatman nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what time or place a ghost meets. As long as it's at that time and that designated place, ghosts from all over the world can participate. The ghost with the strongest ghost power among them will be selected as the ghost king and can enjoy some of the benefits of the living people's yang energy."
Get involved?
Was Su Xiaoniu forced to participate passively... or was she happy to do it behind my back?
Judging from her expression that night, she wasn't happy about it, but rather was forced to participate... In other words, she didn't like that kind of activity, but for some reason, she was forced to participate. And it seemed like she had become a different person.
"I don't care about the Ghost King Festival. I just know that I must bring her back!" I gritted my teeth, slid the oar, and quickly went to the other side.
"Today is the last day of the Ghost King Festival. If you want to save people, you only have tonight to do it. If you don't rescue them tonight, they will die, and the ghost who is elected as the 'Ghost King' will forever be the king of all ghosts here, and will stay here forever, unable to leave." The boatman's words deeply hurt my heart.
Su Xiaoniu was elected as the Ghost King. Will she stay here forever?
I can't accept it!
I know that Su Xiaoniu definitely doesn't want to stay in such a place. She has unfinished business and she must leave!
I don’t know what expression I had at that moment. I only knew that I was very excited and just wanted to rush to Su Xiaonu immediately, and take her away without saying anything!
Soon it was night, and the boatman and Feng Ling followed me. I didn't know why the boatman came to join in the fun, but he seemed to know a lot, so maybe he could be of help, so it might be okay to follow him.
We soon arrived at the excavation site, and judging by the time, it was almost time.
Ghost King Ji, come on, little ghosts, I will beat you all back to the underworld and take my girl away!
