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 a 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.

她看着晏承的眼睛说道：“我用含有我魂力的精血，封锁住了你的肉/身的‘天庭’和‘命门’，这样一来能封锁住你身上的活人气息，就算你被抬入地府，也能灵魂躯壳合一、短时间内不会被地府的阴魂发现你是个活人，肉/身也不会被阴气腐蚀。”

“你只要保证我的指尖血不被蹭掉，能在地府安然度过最少一天的时间不被侵蚀，只要我破了‘白煞’就去找你，我保证会在这一天的时间里，将你从下面带回来。”

说着顾之桑的神情又冷了几分，“就算你到时候已经被结了阴亲，我也能把这份强扭的孽缘横刀斩断！”

分明是要去涉险、甚至有可能要和女鬼结亲变成鬼魂，但晏承不仅没有恐惧，疏离的眉眼反而软了下来。

他‘嗯’了一声，缓声道：“我相信你。”

顿了一下又道：“桑桑你要注意安全。”

两句话的功夫，那阴气森森的红白双煞已经近在眼前。

一边是悲戚的唢呐声，另一边是喜庆的敲锣打鼓，几乎要将两人的耳膜震破，那红白双方的阴魂也近在咫尺，或惨白、或血肉模糊的鬼脸带着森森恶意。

“不要害怕。”

顾之桑的声音完全被鬼魂的戚嚎声盖过，下一秒她便感觉到一股森凉的阴气直接撞入躯壳，天旋地转间她整个人都砸入一架漆黑/逼仄、四四方方的长盒子中。

四周的鼓乐声一下变得沉闷。

她知道自己在水鬼抬着的棺材中。

这时晏承也应该被撞入了轿中，代替走上送嫁之路的‘喜丧之鬼’被抬入地府。

棺材缝中湿漉漉的都是水渍。

顾之桑躺在其中，手中握着的桃木剑从未脱手。

她能感觉棺材被掉了个头，应该是转化了方向，外头喜丧队伍的鼓乐声越来越小，反而是水鬼的队伍似是因为找到了替死鬼，而格外愉悦。

棺材一飘一跳，乐声隐隐有变换。

在乐声之下，顾之桑还听到了外头的窃窃私语声，似是有前来看戏、看水鬼捉替身的阴魂在同水鬼交谈。

等到棺材里的水汽越来越重，并且乐声愈发凄婉，她便知道‘白煞’的队伍应该已经到了水塘附近、准备沉棺了。

就在棺椁被砸到水里、四面八方的刺骨湖水开始没过棺材底、往棺材缝隙里渗入时，漆黑棺中忽然发出一道动静。

随着一抹淡金色的光芒从棺材板的缝隙中溢出，下一秒只听‘砰’的一声巨响，整个棺椁从内里被一股大力直接破开，棺木被炸得粉碎，向着四面八方崩裂。

岸边已在庆祝、或是围观的鬼魂都被这突如其来的巨大动静吓了一跳，还没反应过来，破棺而出的顾之桑便直接踩着水面上的碎棺木纵身一跃。

她眼底有金色波纹闪溢，手中看似平平无奇、表面甚至坑坑洼洼的木剑恍若利器。

随着‘杀鬼咒’的术数加持，从上而下劈落的木剑直接横切着目瞪口呆、面色煞白的水鬼的上半身，削断的肩头刚一落地，便散成颗颗魂光宛如萤火。

顾之桑反手又是一剑，连杀两鬼。

剑花一转收在身侧，她面带霜色定定盯着四周的鬼物。

就在她又要念出‘杀鬼咒’、准备一番恶战时，鬼群中跑来看戏的某路人鬼看清了她的面孔，顿时脸色大变两股战战。

“顾、顾使者？！”

顾之桑：？

听到熟悉的称呼，面带凛然杀气的顾之桑神情微顿，视线挪到发出呼喊的鬼魂身上。

被她冷冽的眉眼一扫，那阴魂打了哆嗦，深知顾之桑实力、并且又是‘桑叶’阴间粉的鬼物大感不妙，忙连声叫屈道：

“误会啊顾使者，我就是个来看戏的小喽啰、听说这边有大鬼办阴婚想来吃个席、蹭两口香火，我可是良鬼，一个人都没害过！”

它委屈道：“刚听说有阳间的人来抢亲，被大鬼给抓了，我就是好奇来凑个热闹，早知抢亲的人是您、被抢的新人是您的人，我是万万不会贪这两口香火跑来吃这个席的！”

顾之桑：……

听着阴魂立表忠心，这喜感的一幕冲淡了顾之桑面上的杀气。

但她并没有因为此鬼的一番话，便放松警惕。

其余水鬼见同伴魂飞魄散，正值震怒中，也被此鬼的话搞得愣住，半晌怒斥道：

“你这家伙原来和她是一伙的？！”

鬼魂昂着下巴：“什么一伙的，你们这群孤陋寡闻的老鬼，眼前这位可是地府钦察的阳间使者，在地府有追随者几十亿！”

“你们歪心思竟然打到了她的身上，死有余辜！”

震怒的水鬼阴气森森被激怒，身形暴涨就要撕裂这阴魂，被顾之桑又连斩两鬼。

这一次所剩无几的水鬼彻底明白，它们踢到了块硬铁板，根本不是顾之桑的对手。

被顾之桑用阴差才有的勾魂索套住后，水鬼彻底怂了。

顾之桑收紧了索引，冷声询问着天云村女鬼之事、以及晏承会被抬到哪里去。

畏畏缩缩的水鬼生怕她把自己也斩于桃木剑下，哆嗦着将自己知道的所有事情都说了出来。

据水鬼和其他阴魂所述，它们其实也对那个女鬼的来路并不清楚。

某一天它们正在地府附近游**时，忽然感觉上方出现了一个破口，连通了阴阳两界。

从这个通道出来后，就是人类的村落。

这消息一传十十传百后，附近地府中的阴魂常常上来放风，相当于来人间旅游了。

它们只知道形成了这个破口的鬼，是一个新死不久的大怨鬼，生前似是被村里人弄来结了‘冥婚’，所以死了之后对村人怨念很大。

水鬼道：“那位大人只说让我们针对你二人，将那身着红衣的阳间男子带入地府，至于您……”

至于顾之桑，自然也不用留命。

“现在您要找的人，应该已经被带入地府了。”

顾之桑问道：“通向地府的入口在哪里？”

在结界中是召唤不出鬼门的，想要从结界里入地府，就必须走鬼路。

水鬼道：“就在这个水潭之下。”

它们将顾之桑抬着来到的水潭，是村子里的一条小河，水质略显浑浊，虽然占地面积不大但是深度最深的地方有两米多，以前这河里也溺死过人。

顾之桑撸起袖子，淡淡看了眼水鬼：“你们最好不要骗我。”

被她视线扫过的阴魂只觉得浑身一冷，就像马上要魂飞魄散，被吓得一颤忙摇头道：

“我们不敢欺骗您！”

顾之桑没犹豫、或者说就算这些水鬼在耍什么花招，强大的自信和能力也让她毫无畏惧，直接扑入了水中。

刚一入水，她便感觉潭底有一个阴气森森的漩涡。

那些水鬼果然没有欺骗她，连通阴阳的通道就是这里。

她一头扎了进去，便来到了真正的阴曹地府。

四周的鬼众陡然多了许多，形形色色都带着兴奋伸头张望，鬼群的最前方，消失的‘红煞’队伍正抬着小轿敲锣打鼓、好不热闹。

'你们看到了没，那个轿子里头是个穿喜服的新郎官啊！好俊的男人，难怪这大人新死没多久就要大办阴婚呢！’

'听说这个男人阳间的相好为了他来抢亲，被这大人派水鬼沉尸了，啧啧，好一对苦命鸳鸯。’

'果然漂亮男人碰不得，容易惹祸上身！’

顾之桑：……？

听着周围鬼魂的讨论声，她没有太多反应，只是静静看着最里面的‘红煞’队伍前的阴魂。

那是个女鬼。

浑身阴气汹涌翻滚，滔天的怨念之中是一个身形、个子小小的新死亡魂，正是头七女鬼。

它看着十分消瘦，生前濒死时已经瘦成了一把骨头。

从它的身上，顾之桑感受到了深深的孽力。

不是她见过杀孽最多、最凶的鬼魂，但看完女鬼的蒙蒙面相，大概推断出它生前遭遇的顾之桑心情有些复杂沉重。

那头七女鬼似是察觉到了她的目光，也扭过头来，目光阴森盯着她看。

能这么快从‘白煞’队伍中脱身、并找到地府来，本身就说明了顾之桑的能力极强。

再加上女鬼虽然新死，但在地府中也小有地位。

顾之桑的身份太特殊、在地府太火了，天云村中认出她的鬼魂并不止去水鬼身边看戏的那一个，已经有底下的鬼魂和头七女鬼解释了顾之桑的身份。

因此那女鬼并未轻举妄动，也只是打量着顾之桑。

其余看戏、前来蹭香火鬼魂也察觉到了气氛的不对劲，顺着女鬼的视线一看，便看到了提着桃木剑的顾之桑。

不少认出她的鬼魂连声惊呼。

由于这处小地狱地处偏僻，网络并未在此处普及，还有很多阴魂不知道顾之桑是谁，被旁边的鬼拉着科普。

'！！竟然是桑桑，所以被棒打鸳鸯、前来抢亲的人就是我的偶像QAQ桑桑别误会，我和它们不是一伙的！’

"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)~
