The so-called "red and white collision" is a forbidden technique of Maoshan.
The person or ghost who can perform this method has extraordinary spiritual attainments and abilities.
Among them, "Bai Sha" refers to the funeral procession of water ghosts.
Most water ghosts that drown in water cannot be called "Sha".
Only the water ghosts who have reached a higher level of spiritual power and form a funeral procession are called "White Evil".
Generally speaking, the places where water ghosts exist and are most powerful are rivers, lakes, and especially the places where they drowned during their lifetime.
Once the "White Evil" is formed, these water ghosts will have the ability to gather energy and turn it into water. Wherever they go, there will be drizzles all over the sky, just like swimming on land, and they can still maintain their abilities.
What's more, some people have been able to refine ghost weapons. The general shape of ghost weapons is similar to rain hats and straw raincoats. The "Bai Sha" water ghost can store lake water in the ghost weapons and can also walk on land.
As for the "red evil spirit", it refers to the bride who died unexpectedly on the wedding day. In ancient Xia Dynasty weddings, the bride was often covered with red clothes and a red veil, and the whole room was filled with red candles and window paper, and music was played and gongs and drums were played.
This is a happy and solemn moment for the young women who are married off as substitutes. They are full of expectations to start a new chapter in their lives, but they can die on the spot the next moment.
Because he died on a wedding day, a very happy occasion, and died suddenly, the "Red Evil" is also called the "ghost of happy funeral";
The resentment is extremely heavy, and the collision is extremely fierce.
It is the more dangerous of the two evil spirits.
Normally, when two evil spirits meet, the one who needs to give way or actively gives way is the "White Evil" side.
In addition, although both types of "evil spirits" are transformed from ghosts who died unjustly in their lifetime, there are also great differences in the way they are formed.
The former water ghosts mostly died accidentally from drowning or were murdered.
But the latter 'ghost of joyful funerals' not only died from sudden disasters and natural causes, but also has an even more cruel method of artificially creating 'red evil'.
According to the Maoshan Sutra, in ancient times, there were mystics who sought gold, silver and treasures and often gave advice to emperors, generals or dignitaries.
Feng Shui ornaments are purchased for them during their lifetime, and tombs are built for them after their death. The most secretive of these is the "tomb-guarding art".
In order to satisfy the wishes of these generals and ministers to guard the tombs and prevent tomb robbers from digging out the burial objects and destroying the bodies, setting up various large arrays and glazed fire sealing layers is only a milder form of "tomb guarding magic".
A more sinister trick is to use "evil" to suppress the tomb.
The "ghost that rejoices in funerals" is the most vicious "evil" ghost recorded in the Maoshan Sutra, and is used to guard the tombs of people with prominent family backgrounds.
The sorcerer who is going to perform the ritual will select a commoner family nearby in advance. The selection criteria is firstly that the family has a daughter of similar age who is unmarried and is looking for someone else.
Secondly, the woman must be of good character and appearance, have a compatible relationship with the man she is looking at, and have a similar family background...
Once all the conditions are met, the young girl will look forward to marrying into her husband's family.
In the old days, when getting married, the daughter had to learn needlework and sew. Girls from ordinary families who were about to get married would start sewing their own wedding dresses several months to half a year in advance.
Every stitch reflects their expectations and shyness towards marriage.
This anticipation and shyness will reach its peak on their wedding day.
Through the gaps in the curtains of the sedan chair, they could see the bustling procession outside welcoming the bride, and hear the drums and music of the band next to them. Their husbands rode on tall horses to bring them into their new family. Everything was so beautiful...
And all this was already part of the warlock's plan.
On this day, various "accidents" that were arranged in advance will occur one after another.
The more decisive ones would find a strong and brave warrior to rush into the wedding procession and directly break into the wedding sedan chair, stabbing the terrified young woman with a sharp knife. Every stab was fatal, and blood splattered in the sedan chair and soaked all over the wedding clothes.
However, such a simple and crude method has the possibility of failure. In order to be absolutely sure, some more ruthless and murderous sorcerers will directly make arrangements and set up killing arrays on the way to the wedding.
When they reach the formation, the entire wedding procession, including the newlyweds, may be smashed to pieces by the sudden collapse of the ground and the collapsing stone pillars on both sides.
The wedding venue turned into hell on earth.
The red evil spirit that suddenly changes from great joy to great sorrow and then transforms into a "ghost of joyful funeral" often has too much resentment and cannot be reborn outside the six realms. After being caught by the sorcerer and put into the tomb and suppressed by the formation, it becomes even more resentful.
As long as tomb robbers break into this tomb, basically no one will survive unless they are great sorcerers.
Because this technique is too insidious, it was classified as an evil technique and an unorthodox practice by Maoshan and its use was prohibited.
As for the 'Red and White Collision of Evil Spirits', it is to set up a formation to allow two kinds of evil spirits to appear at the same time, which is an omen of great misfortune, so it is listed as a forbidden technique that cannot be touched.
This was the dangerous situation that Gu Zhisang and Yan Cheng encountered at this time.
As the sounds of mournful and joyful music intertwined and grew closer, they could feel the air around them growing colder and colder, and began to emit a wet, sticky vapor.
Amid the mournful singing, the veil on one side of the lacquered red sedan was blown open halfway, revealing the 'ghost of joyful funerals' sitting inside with a mournful expression.
It was wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, with no veil on its head. Its face was as white as snow, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from its dark eye sockets, exuding a resentful, sinister, and chilling aura.
The ghosts carrying the sedan chair and playing drums and music on both sides had either a rotten head or half of their faces were covered in blood. They were clearly smiling and singing, but the lyrics were extremely grim.
After listening to two sentences, Gu Zhisang roughly understood.
These 'red evil' ghosts are singing about what happens before death.
They were on their way to see their bride off happily, but they met with an accident when they were passing an arch bridge.
The bridge broke in the middle and collapsed, throwing the bride and groom's party to the bottom of the bridge.
The continuously falling boulders and broken bricks smashed their bodies to pieces, and even the people and children who were watching the show on the bridge were buried under the broken bridge.
The scene was a sea of red and white, with body parts and flesh pulp all around.
Seeing the two waves of ghosts approaching, Yan Cheng felt extremely regretful at this moment. He wondered why he had never learned any skills to rely on because he was resisting the people of Xuanmen and these techniques.
Now that he is in great trouble, Gu Zhisang has to distract himself to protect him.
Yan Cheng asked: "Where are we going?"
Gu Zhisang held the peach wood sword horizontally, level with his neck, with the blade of the sword facing the approaching red sedan chair. Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said:
"It's no use. This is a vicious formation set up against you and me. We are located at the collision point of the Red and White Devils. We have been targeted by them. We can't escape. We can only break the formation."
Although the water ghost 'Bai Sha' can go ashore briefly, he is still unable to reincarnate in the underworld due to the restraints and karma on his body.
The consequence of being possessed by the "White Evil" is that you will be caught as a scapegoat, and the water ghost will stuff you into a coffin carried on a crossbar and then send you into the lake.
Before the coffin is completely submerged in water and the space and air inside the coffin are completely filled with water, if the person in the coffin is unable to break free and escape, they will be completely drowned and become a scapegoat who cannot be reincarnated.
At that time, the water ghost will take the place of the victim's reincarnation opportunity, and the victim who died in place of him will become the new "White Evil" water ghost, waiting to find a substitute next time.
The same is true for the 'ghost of joyful funerals'.
It cannot enter the six realms of reincarnation, so it naturally has to find a substitute.
If the person stuffed into the red sedan cannot escape, he will be sent to the underworld in his living body.
Once you enter the underworld, your body will turn into dry bones and you will never be able to walk out again. Only a trapped ghost will be left in the sedan chair.
Gu Zhisang bit his fingertip, and used the blood that flowed out of his fingertip to touch the forehead of Yan Cheng behind him, leaving a thin line of blood.
Immediately, the young man, who was already wearing fiery red clothes and had a handsome face, became even more rosy, and against the dark night sky, he looked like a sexy ghost from the underworld.
When Yan Cheng was stunned, Gu Zhisang said in a steady and serious voice:
"You must remember what I am saying next. If I were the only one encountering the 'Red and White Collision Evil' today, I would have definitely broken through the formation directly, killing one ghost first and then the other evil spirit. But now it is you and I who are confronted by two evil spirits, and you have become a weakness that I have to take into account.
If I use my killing move first, you will not be able to stop the murderous aura of the other evil spirit and will surely die."
Yan Cheng felt even more guilty after hearing this: "I'm sorry, I held you back."
"You'd better leave me alone."
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "That's not what I meant. Please listen to me."
"The first method of head-on confrontation won't work, so we'll resolve them one by one. These two waves of evil spirits have the same purpose: to find a scapegoat. And because the female ghost who formed this 'hell' is the mastermind behind the scenes, it's impossible for her to let you be trapped to death in the lake by the water ghosts. You will only be knocked into a red sedan chair and sent to the underworld, and then carried to the side of the female ghost to marry her."
What the female ghost wanted was the physique of Yan Cheng, the 'reincarnation of the Ghost King'.
Even if his body turns to dry bones due to collision, his soul is still the 'Ghost King', which does not affect his marriage with it.
As for Gu Zhisang, the ignorant bride-stealer, he will be knocked into the coffin.
Since both evil spirits have found someone to die with, they will naturally leave satisfied, and the double evil spirit will be transformed into a single evil spirit.
In other words, as long as Gu Zhisang defeats the water ghost 'Bai Sha', he can escape.
She looked into Yan Cheng's eyes and said, "I used my soul essence and blood to seal your body's 'heaven' and 'life gate'. This will block the breath of a living person in you. Even if you are carried into the underworld, your soul and body will be united. The ghosts in the underworld will not find out that you are a living person in a short period of time, and your body will not be corroded by the Yin energy."
"You just have to make sure that the blood on my fingertips isn't rubbed off, and that I can spend at least one day in the underworld without being corroded. As soon as I break the 'White Evil' I'll come looking for you, and I promise to bring you back from the underworld within that day."
Gu Zhisang's expression turned even colder as he spoke, "Even if you have been betrothed to a traitor by then, I can still cut off this forced fate!"
It was clear that he was going to be in danger, and might even have to marry a female ghost and become a ghost, but Yan Cheng was not afraid, and his distant brows softened.
He hummed and said slowly, "I believe you."
After a pause, he continued, "Sangsang, you must be careful."
In just two sentences, the sinister red and white evil spirits were already before their eyes.
On one side was the sad sound of suona, and on the other side was the festive beating of gongs and drums, which almost broke the two people's eardrums. The ghosts of the red and white parties were also close at hand, and their pale or bloody faces were filled with sinister malice.
"do not be afraid."
Gu Zhisang's voice was completely drowned out by the ghost's howling. The next second, she felt a chilling negative energy directly crashing into her body. The world was spinning around and she was smashed into a dark, cramped, square, long box.
The sound of drums and music all around suddenly became dull.
She knew she was in a coffin carried by a water ghost.
At this time, Yan Cheng should have been knocked into the sedan chair and carried into the underworld instead of the "ghost of happy funeral" who was on the road to the wedding.
The seams in the coffin were wet with water stains.
Gu Zhisang was lying in the middle, holding the peach wood sword in his hand all the time.
She could feel that the coffin had been turned upside down, probably changing direction. The sound of drums and music from the funeral procession outside was getting quieter and quieter. Instead, the team of water ghosts seemed to be particularly happy because they had found a scapegoat.
The coffin floated and jumped, and the music changed subtly.
Amid the music, Gu Zhisang also heard whispers outside, as if some ghosts who came to watch the show and see the water ghost catching a substitute were talking to the water ghost.
When the moisture in the coffin became heavier and the music became more mournful, she knew that Bai Sha's team must have reached the pond and were preparing to sink the coffin.
Just as the coffin was smashed into the water and the icy lake water from all directions began to cover the bottom of the coffin and seep into the cracks in the coffin, there was a sudden movement in the dark coffin.
As a faint golden light overflowed from the gap in the coffin board, a loud "bang" was heard the next second, and the entire coffin was directly broken open from the inside by a huge force. The coffin was blown to pieces and broke in all directions.
The ghosts who were celebrating or watching on the shore were frightened by the sudden noise. Before they could react, Gu Zhisang, who had broken out of the coffin, jumped directly onto the broken coffin on the water.
There were golden ripples in her eyes, and the wooden sword in her hand, which looked ordinary and even had pits on the surface, seemed like a sharp weapon.
With the help of the magic of the 'Ghost Killing Curse', the wooden sword that chopped down from above directly cut across the upper body of the stunned, pale-faced water ghost. As soon as the severed shoulder hit the ground, it dispersed into particles of soul light like fireflies.
Gu Zhisang swung his sword again and killed two ghosts in a row.
She turned the sword and put it at her side, her face frosty as she stared at the ghosts around her.
Just as she was about to recite the 'ghost killing spell' and prepare for a fierce battle, a passerby ghost who came to watch the show saw her face clearly, and his face suddenly changed and his legs trembled.
"Gu, Envoy Gu?!"
Gu Zhisang:?
Hearing the familiar name, Gu Zhisang, with a murderous look on his face, paused slightly and moved his gaze to the ghost who made the call.
The ghost shuddered at her cold gaze. Knowing Gu Zhisang's strength and being a fan of Mulberry Leaf, the ghost felt that something was wrong and cried out in grievance:
"Misunderstanding, Envoy Gu. I am just a small follower who came to watch the show. I heard that there was a big ghost holding a ghost marriage here, so I wanted to come and have a feast and eat some incense. I am a good ghost and have never harmed anyone!"
It said aggrievedly: "I just heard that someone from the mortal world came to steal the bride, but was caught by a big ghost. I came here out of curiosity to join in the fun. If I had known that the person who stole the bride was you and the bride was yours, I would never have come to eat this feast just to be greedy for these two mouthfuls of incense!"
Gu Zhisang: ...
Hearing the ghost expressing his loyalty, this funny scene diluted the murderous look on Gu Zhisang's face.
But she did not let down her guard because of the ghost's words.
The other water ghosts were furious when they saw their companions were scared to death. They were also stunned by the ghost's words and shouted angrily for a while:
"You are in cahoots with her?!"
The ghost raised his chin and said, "What group are you talking about? You are a bunch of ignorant old ghosts. The one in front of you is the messenger of the underworld Qincha from the living world. He has billions of followers in the underworld!"
"Your evil intentions actually hit her, you deserve to die!"
The enraged water ghost was so gloomy that he was about to tear the ghost apart, but Gu Zhisang killed two more ghosts in a row.
This time, the few remaining water ghosts completely understood that they had hit a hard iron plate and were no match for Gu Zhisang.
After being caught by Gu Zhisang with the soul-catching rope that only ghosts have, the water ghost was completely scared.
Gu Zhisang tightened the index and asked in a cold voice about the female ghost in Tianyun Village and where Yan Cheng would be carried to.
The timid water ghost was afraid that she would kill him with the peach wood sword, so he trembled and told her everything he knew.
According to water ghosts and other ghosts, they actually had no idea where the female ghost came from.
One day when they were wandering near the underworld, they suddenly felt a breach appear above them, connecting the Yin and Yang worlds.
Coming out of this passage is the human village.
After the news spread from one person to another, ghosts from the nearby underworld often came up to get some fresh air, which was equivalent to traveling to the human world.
They only knew that the ghost that formed this gap was a big resentful ghost who had died not long ago. It seemed that he was arranged to have a "ghost marriage" by the villagers when he was alive, so he had a lot of resentment towards the villagers after his death.
The water ghost said: "The master only told us to target you two and take the man in red to the underworld. As for you..."
As for Gu Zhisang, there was naturally no need to keep his life.
"The person you are looking for should have been taken to the underworld by now."
Gu Zhisang asked: "Where is the entrance to the underworld?"
The ghost gate cannot be summoned in the barrier. If you want to enter the underworld from the barrier, you must take the ghost road.
The water ghost said, "It's right under this pool of water."
The pond they carried Gu Zhisang to was a small river in the village. The water was slightly turbid. Although it covered a small area, the deepest part was more than two meters. People had drowned in this river before.
Gu Zhisang rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the water ghost calmly: "You better not lie to me."
The ghost who was swept by her gaze felt a chill all over his body, as if his soul was about to fly away. He trembled with fear and shook his head:
"We dare not deceive you!"
Gu Zhisang did not hesitate, or even if these water ghosts were playing any tricks, her strong self-confidence and ability made her fearless and she jumped directly into the water.
As soon as she entered the water, she felt a sinister whirlpool at the bottom of the pool.
Those water ghosts did not deceive her. The passage connecting yin and yang was right here.
She plunged in and came to the real underworld.
There were suddenly many more ghosts around, all of them looking around excitedly. At the front of the ghost group, the disappeared 'Red Evil' team was carrying a sedan chair and beating drums and gongs. It was very lively.
"Did you see that? There is a groom in wedding clothes in that sedan chair! What a handsome man! No wonder he wanted to hold a ghost marriage not long after his death!"
"I heard that this man's lover in the mortal world came to steal his bride, but was drowned by a water ghost sent by this master. Tsk tsk, what a pair of ill-fated lovers."
"It's true that handsome men should not be touched, as they can easily bring you into trouble!"
Gu Zhisang: ...?
Listening to the discussions of the ghosts around her, she did not react much, but just quietly looked at the ghosts in front of the innermost "Red Evil" team.
That was a female ghost.
The negative energy in his body was surging and rolling, and within the overwhelming resentment was a small new dead soul, which was the seventh female ghost.
It looked extremely thin, and had become nothing more than a bag of bones when it was dying.
Gu Zhisang felt a deep evil force from it.
It wasn't the most murderous and vicious ghost she had ever seen, but after looking at the female ghost's hazy face, she could probably infer that Gu Zhisang, who had experienced it in his lifetime, felt somewhat complicated and heavy.
The seven female ghosts seemed to have noticed her gaze and turned their heads, staring at her with sinister eyes.
The fact that he was able to escape from the 'Bai Sha' team so quickly and find the underworld shows that Gu Zhisang is extremely capable.
In addition, although the female ghost had just died, she still had a small status in the underworld.
Gu Zhisang's identity is too special and she is too famous in the underworld. The ghost who recognized her in Tianyun Village is not just the one who went to watch the show beside the water ghost. The ghosts below and the first seven female ghosts have already explained Gu Zhisang's identity.
Therefore, the female ghost did not act rashly and just looked at Gu Zhisang.
The other ghosts who came to watch the show and to pay homage to the incense also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. They followed the female ghost's line of sight and saw Gu Zhisang holding a peach wood sword.
Many ghosts who recognized her exclaimed in surprise.
Because this small hell is located in a remote area and the Internet is not widely used here, many ghosts do not know who Gu Zhisang is and are forced to learn about it by the ghosts next to them.
'! ! It turned out to be Sangsang, so the one who was separated and came to grab the bride was my idol QAQ Sangsang, don't get me wrong, I am not in the same group with them! '
"No matter how handsome this man is, he can't get ahead of Envoy Gu. I'm going to turn against him."
"Messenger Gu, do you want a man? We will snatch him from you at your command!"
"…"
Amid the bustling ghost noises, the seven female ghosts smiled grimly and said in a cold voice:
"No wonder the barrier and the Red and White Devils couldn't stop him. It turns out that this person is the famous Envoy Gu! I heard that you are deeply loved by the ghosts in the underworld. Your most powerful skill is that you can see through a person's bones just by looking at his appearance. You can calculate a person's good and evil, life and death, and fate without missing a single thing. So I would like to ask what you think of me?"
"Do you think what I did today was right or wrong?!"
Although hit by the sharp evil spirit, Gu Zhisang remained calm, as the airflow was resolved before it reached her.
When questioned by the female ghost, she actually read the other person's soul and deduced her life.
"From your facial features, you were seriously ill before you died. You died unexpectedly seven days ago. You died with resentment and were later arranged to have a 'ghost marriage' with a ghost from the underworld who had been dead for several years."
"None of this was done voluntarily by you, and it was even directly related to your closest relatives who could not be denied."
Just as Gu Zhisang said these two sentences, the face of the first seven female ghosts suddenly became ferocious, and the resentment in their bodies surged again, and their voices were tearful:
"The messenger is right. Does anyone know that I was still alive when I was arranged to marry a ghost?"
"Who else knows my hatred?!"
The female ghost said gloomily: "Since Envoy Gu can see all this clearly, do you still think I am wrong?"
The author has something to say:
There will be one update at midnight, and two more updates tomorrow (before 6pm)~
