Seeing that the female ghost still didn't want to believe it, Gu Zhisang asked:
"Do you know the name of the family you are marrying in the afterlife?"
After a moment of silence, the female ghost nodded.
When the rooster was used as a proxy for "worshipping", the object it was "marrying" - the portrait of the village chief's deceased son, and a wooden plaque with his name and date of birth, were all held in the arms of the deceased's cousin.
The little girl, who was floating in the air at the time and looking at all the absurd things happening below with full of resentment, engrave the above information firmly in her heart.
It revealed the information of the person to be married to the dead, and also reported the name of the chief of Tianyun Village.
Gu Zhisang used the "Soul-Catching Book" and found that the corresponding souls did not return to the underworld.
If her guess was correct, the souls of the dead villagers in Tianyun Village were swallowed up silently and would never come back!
The evidence was right before her eyes, and the Little girl had no choice but to believe it.
Its emaciated soul was trembling with anxiety due to the violent fluctuations of emotions, and its eyes gradually became bloodshot.
After all the truth and the darkness hidden behind it surfaced, the truth made all the ghosts sigh and be shocked.
If everything that happened to the Xiao family girl was caused by the black fog;
Its act of slaughtering the villagers, in turn, created hundreds of dead souls for the black fog. Isn't this tantamount to working for its enemies, and also bringing with it a lot of bad karma that will soon bring it punishment from heaven!
Among the ghosts, there were some who felt sympathy for her plight, or some who believed that the Xiao family girl's twisted mentality was also the result of the murder by the black fog and that this was excusable, and they all spoke up to plead for her.
But Gu Zhisang never lowered his elbow holding the wooden sword, and his whole body was filled with an energy that could not be ignored:
"I don't deny that your experience deserves sympathy, but the sin you committed is too serious."
“The tomb robbers and buyers who resell human beings are guilty, but you slaughtered innocent villagers and imprisoned and devoured foreign mystics. Who should they complain to about their grievances?
These sins are equally inexcusable, and you must pay the price."
Gu Zhisang paused for a moment and said solemnly:
"Follow me to the underworld and confess your crimes. That's your only chance of survival!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the blade of the wooden sword she was holding flashed, as if covered with a layer of rune golden light.
The Xiao family girl looked crazy upon hearing this, and the ghostly aura around her surged:
"What does it matter if I have sinned so deeply? It's worth it as long as I can see those beasts get their retribution with my own eyes! I have been victimized to such an extent and suffered so much, even if I go to hell, I will drag them down with me!"
"If you don't share the same ideals, you can't work together. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
For the resentful female ghost, in order to break the barrier and seek revenge on the vicious relatives of the Xiao family, she has paid too much price and used all means under the drive and stimulation of the black fog.
For example, abandoning conscience, bottom line, etc.
"Killing the Xiao family" has become the only obsession in its heart.
If it gives up on even this matter, then all the suffering it has endured, the people it has killed, and the sins it has committed before will become a meaningless joke.
It thought Gu Zhisang was going to try to persuade it, so it flashed and pounced directly towards the lacquered red sedan not far away. Its five claws were as sharp as hooks, and it wanted to seal Yan Cheng's throat and take his soul away.
Gu Zhisang, who was well prepared, raised his sword and rushed forward, blocking the Xiao family girl's surprise attack. Without caring whether Yan Cheng in the sedan would be injured or uncomfortable, he kicked the protruding wooden beam of the red-top sedan and kicked the sedan several meters away.
Because she carries the orthodox Taoist righteousness, she is a natural enemy to the ghosts in the underworld, and they can easily be hurt if they get close to her.
The Little family girl, who had completely lost her mind, was a big ghost with deep resentment. Any soul she touched would be torn to pieces.
In order to avoid being affected, the ghosts who were watching the show around them retreated a hundred meters away early.
The ghost with the underworld-branded mobile phone took it out, took excited photos, and posted them on the underworld version of Big Eyed Boy.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention and heated discussion of the entire underworld network.
Half of the ghosts care about what Yan Cheng looks like and are trying to uncover his identity.
The other half of the ghosts are placing bets.
The number of votes betting on Gu Zhisang to win rose rapidly. In just a few minutes, it went from millions to tens of millions, and it was still soaring.
The Xiao family girl has a clear goal.
It knew that Yan Cheng was a mortal without any spiritual practice or ability, which would inevitably become a weakness;
So it thought that as long as it took action against Yan Cheng, Gu Zhisang would be restricted in every way.
At the same time, Yan Cheng's physique gathered evil spirits. As long as he could devour them, his own power would skyrocket, and he would be able to fight even if a real evil spirit came.
Based on the limit of what the Xiao family girl could imagine, she felt that no matter how powerful Gu Zhisang was, he was just a young man and could not be stronger than the God of the Underworld.
As long as it swallows Yan Cheng first, it can easily defeat Gu Zhisang.
Gu Zhisang, who saw through its plan at a glance, sneered coldly, the golden ring in his eyes remained unchanged, and his momentum rose.
When the spirit of the Xiao family girl was less than one meter away from the lacquered red sedan chair, the curtain of the red sedan chair was blown back by the cold and sharp yin energy, revealing the handsome Yan Cheng inside.
Although the young man looked a little pale due to the loss of strength, his face showed no fear or timidity;
Even though he was suddenly faced with the distorted expression of a ghost and attacked by a sinister force that chilled his spine, he did not lose his composure and did not even show any sign of pain.
Yan Cheng suddenly raised his hand and threw out a bunch of ignited Samadhi True Fire Talismans from his palm. The flames devoured the yellow talisman paper and rushed straight to the face of the Xiao family girl who was nearby.
Before I even touched its soul, it already felt a burning and tight sensation.
This is obviously not a talisman of ordinary quality!
The shocked girl from the Xiao family didn't expect that this young human man who had no ability to protect himself, had been hungry for two or three days and was dragged into the underworld surrounded by ghosts, but he was not scared yet and still had some tricks to deal with her.
But it had a grim smile on its face and didn't take Yan Cheng's "little trick" seriously.
If it was for ordinary vengeful ghosts or evil spirits, Yan Cheng's extremely pure Samadhi True Fire Talisman could indeed burn them to pieces, leaving nothing behind.
But for it, which is already half a step away from becoming a ghost king, this is not considered a powerful move.
The Little family girl waved her sharp claws and directly brushed away the Samadhi True Fire that was rushing towards the door above, extinguishing it.
The true fire of positive yang can burn away filth and remove evil spirits, and it is the natural nemesis of evil spirits.
Even it, the soul of the hand that grasped the extinguishing true fire was burned to the point of blurring the soul, accompanied by a sizzling sound, a large amount of gray-black rotten and foul air evaporated upwards.
Just as the sarcastic words were about to come out of her mouth, the feeling of stagnation and confinement in the palm of her hand made the girl's face change.
It suddenly lowered its head and saw a white cylindrical object tightly attached to the palm of the soul that was twisted by the true fire.
This is human bone cutting.
It still had a slight residual warmth, obviously having been taken off a warm human body not long ago.
Once it stuck to his soul, it suppressed most of the negative energy in his body!
The Little family girl reacted very quickly.
It gathered strength and struggled to break free from the shackles of the 'Jade Finger Bone', threw it behind it, and stared at Yan Cheng with a fierce look on its face.
Just as it raised its eyes, its body paused.
The young man in the red sedan had a face as white as jade, a red robe as bright as fire, and a pair of eyes as black as ink, emitting a murderous aura, like two bottomless whirlpools.
He had a ghostly aura all over him, and at first glance he looked even more like a demon than himself!
But what made the Little girl even more shocked and panicked was that she discovered that some of the evil power in her body was flowing towards Yan Cheng!
This was the first time it encountered such a weird thing and such a mortal. It didn't dare to stop and rushed towards Yan Cheng's neck fiercely, regardless of the loss of murderous aura.
When it was still half an arm's length away, the peach wood sword with a bright golden light came down from above behind him, breaking through the wind.
At the moment when her soul was chopped off by the Taoist power, the girl from the Xiao family still looked confused.
It never thought that the ridiculous and clumsy wooden sword, which seemed to have a blunt blade, could actually cut it down with one sword after being attached with Gu Zhisang's soul power.
From the time its body exploded and attacked Yan Cheng to the time its soul was broken into two, only three or two seconds had passed.
In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, everything changed.
It was as if the two men had predicted its movements and practiced how to respond, without any hesitation, leaving it no time to react.
In fact, Gu Zhisang didn't even think about stopping it from pouncing on Yan Cheng.
From the beginning to the end, the direction in which her sword was pointed was always the daughter of the Xiao family.
If the daughter of the Xiao family is brought to justice, she will take her to the Palace of Yama, and the underworld will judge her rights and wrongs.
But this ghost had lost all reason and turned into a violent perpetrator after suffering so much.
It is now unwilling to let go of Yan Cheng and the other masters it has captured. When it really becomes a powerful ghost with profound Taoism and breaks through the barrier to go to the outside world of the living, how can it keep its promise to only kill the Xiao family members without touching any grass or trees in the world of the living?
By then, it has already tasted what it is like to stir up trouble in the human world and wantonly control the lives of weak humans. How could it obediently return to the underworld and endure the pain of sin and punishment?
The moment the daughter of the Xiao family refused to submit to the law, Gu Zhisang transformed the Taoist power attached to the wooden sword into the 'Ghost Killing Curse'.
But she was somewhat surprised by Yan Cheng's actions and courage.
When the sword was retracted, Gu Zhisang glanced at the slightly embarrassed young man in the sedan with a look of satisfaction.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Yan Cheng shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't because he was still in shock, but he was glad that he did not hold Gu Zhisang back and did not become a person who restricted Gu Zhisang in every way.
The Samadhi True Fire Talisman that burned the daughter of the Xiao family was originally given to him by Gu Zhisang when he encountered the "Red and White Collision Evil" at the entrance of Tianyun Village.
It was just in case - for example, if some accident happened and Gu Zhisang was tripped and unable to find him in time, he could use it to protect himself and exorcise ghosts.
Yan Cheng also tried to escape along the way.
But this red sedan was like a hard iron box and remained unmoved no matter how he hit it.
The 'ghost of joyful funerals' floating outside was sneering and telling him not to waste his energy.
Not long after he was carried to the underworld, Gu Zhisang arrived.
Yan Cheng heard her conversation and confrontation with the daughter of the Xiao family in the sedan chair. At that time, he took off the "jade finger bone" hanging around his neck, wrapped it in the Samadhi True Fire Talisman, and held it in his hand.
When he heard the Xiao family girl's voice suddenly become sharp, he began to recite the spell that Gu Zhisang taught him to drive the Samadhi True Fire Talisman.
Yan Cheng originally thought that he had no talent for practicing Taoism, but who would have thought that he would succeed after just one try.
After the Samadhi True Fire was ignited with a 'hiss' sound, a blinding cold evil blew the curtain of the sedan chair open;
Seeing the ferocious and bloodshot eyes of the Xiao family girl, he threw the fire talisman in his hand towards her.
The moment the 'jade finger bone' in the talisman froze the Xiao family girl, he was ready to absorb the evil spirit of the female ghost.
Yan Cheng raised his eyes: "Thanks to you..."
Before he could finish his words, a sinister laugh interrupted him.
Because the Xiao family girl's resentment was so deep, after being cut into two pieces, the two halves of her soul dispersed very slowly. She gave up one piece on her own, and now the broken part of her soul has slowly solidified.
It stared at Gu Zhisang with a sneer: "You didn't even think about defending this man from the evil spirits. It seems that you don't care much about his life or death!"
After a pause, the Xiao family girl said:
"I admit that I fell into your hands, but someone as cold-hearted as you who doesn't even have sympathy or compassion, can never have true love."
When it was about to lose its soul, it did not forget to sow discord among Gu Zhisang.
Gu Zhisang didn't care about this, as what it said was indeed the truth.
She didn't have much affection for Yan Cheng, but she took better care of him out of friendship as an old friend.
But if this care conflicts with her goals, she will still prioritize her own morality.
For example, just now, she was not 100% sure that she could help Yan Cheng escape unscathed.
After all, the opponent is a mortal body and is relatively fragile. If he is hit by a strong evil spirit, he is likely to be seriously injured.
If she had to change her sword stance and focus on breaking Yan Cheng's moves in order to protect him, she would naturally be in a passive position in the fight and easily fall into a trap and be counterattacked.
Gu Zhisang would not let herself be passive, so her goal from beginning to end was:
Kill with one strike.
With the death of the Xiao family girl, the threat to the world and Yan Cheng’s danger will completely disappear.
Even if Yan was injured, she was confident that she could make him fully recover.
After weighing the pros and cons, she calmly and firmly chose to strangle the evil spirit on the spot, and did not care about the verbal attacks made by the Xiao girl before she disappeared.
Gu Zhisang walked up to the half-souled female ghost, his expression normal:
“My heart is set on the right path, and it is as firm as a rock.”
Mere words could not shake her character.
“Your sins are unexcusable, but I promise that the Xiao family who sold you out will be punished.
I hope that before you close your eyes, you will feel remorse and regret for the serious sins you have committed and for the innocent villagers who died."
After saying this, without waiting for the dazed girl from the Xiao family to react or beg for mercy, Gu Zhisang simply raised his sword and cut off the soul's neck with one stroke, killing it cleanly.
As the dissipated soul power dissipated in the underworld, Gu Zhisang looked up at the Yin-Yang entrance above his head which was beginning to change.
The Xiao family girl, the evil creature that caused the existence of the 'Upside Down Underworld', was killed, and the core of the formation that supported this natural Yin formation also disappeared.
Yin and Yang are about to return to their positions, and the entrance connecting the two places is about to close.
Gu Zhisang took a step forward.
A light golden shadow appeared on her body, a circle larger than her physical body.
This is her soul.
The facial features are clearly the same, but the feeling is far different from when they were integrated into the same body.
The departure of her soul from her body allowed her to fully unleash her 'earthly immortal' level soul power. As she intentionally let her soul power spread around, tens of thousands of ghosts around her felt this powerful oppressive force.
Gu Zhisang's soul opened its eyes and a voice with special Taoist power spread far away:
"The ghosts who are still in the world of the living should return to the underworld as soon as possible. I have set up a large ghost-killing formation outside Tianyun Village. Once the Yin-Yang passage is completely closed, the killing formation will be activated."
"Those who are still hiding in the village or harboring evil intentions will be killed without mercy."
The sound reached the ears of every ghost.
Most of the ghosts sensed the power and threat, and obediently returned to the underworld along the entrance of the passage;
There are still a few people who are confident in their own strength or think that Gu Zhisang is cheating and are still stubborn, hiding in the corners of the village.
After the entrance to the passage was completely closed, there was no movement for half a minute. The ghosts laughed in their hearts and floated towards the outside of the village where the barrier no longer existed.
As soon as they floated onto the village road, their souls were like smoke blown away by the wind.
Without even making a sound, it was shredded into pieces by the huge power of the formation.
The ghosts in the underworld watched with their own eyes as the new ghost king, the daughter of the Xiao family, was chopped into three pieces by Gu Zhisang. The original love that many ghosts had for the virtual image turned into admiration and fear after they experienced Gu Zhisang's strength personally.
Even after Gu Zhisang’s body and soul were reunited, the feeling of oppression still lingered.
When she looked at the ghosts around her, all of them said timidly:
"Sangsang, we didn't eat anyone."
"As soon as I heard you asked me to come back, I went straight back to the underworld. I was very obedient and followed the rules!"
Gu Zhisang:?
"As long as you don't disturb the order of the living world and don't harm anyone, I won't do anything to you."
She's not some demon-killing monster, so there's no need to be so scared.
"Where is the Xuanmen person that the evil ghost just kidnapped? He should be hidden in the underworld."
Although he was just asking, Gu Zhisang was certain that the missing people were in the underworld.
The ghosts looked at each other, and finally one of them floated out:
"Mr. Messenger, it is true that it has hidden some sorcerers from the mortal world at the entrance to Hell, but those people are not in good condition..."
Gu Zhisang: "Lead the way."
At this moment, Yan Cheng, who had been following her silently for a long time, suddenly called her, "Sangsang."
"Um?"
Gu Zhisang turned his head and found that Yan Cheng's expression was a little serious.
“It’s not right.”
When Gu Zhisang looked slightly stunned and didn't quite understand, Yan Cheng said slowly:
"You may not show it on your face, but you never turn a blind eye to people in trouble. You're obviously the nicest person."
"You had no obligation to save me and others, but you came anyway and saved many people. There are many people who sincerely appreciate you and like you. You will have a lot of true love and sincerity."
"Sangsang, you will also be enlightened, and you will get what you wish for."
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that Yan Cheng would say these words so solemnly.
She looked at the young man's increasingly awkward expression after he finished speaking, and smiled:
"certainly."
Now her feeling towards Yan Cheng has increased a little bit.
——
Arriving near the entrance of 'Yan Little Hell', Gu Zhisang saw the missing people from Xuanmen and teammates from the Ling Group team.
This is not just a slightly bad situation, it is a very bad situation.
Even a little weird and scary...
I saw that all the Taoist sorcerers were tied up tightly like slaughtered pigs, and hung upside down at the entrance of hell.
The ghosts coming and going can come up to kick them or absorb their energy.
Because everyone's face was purple with a hint of blue due to the congestion and too much "anger" leaked out.
The most bizarre thing was that each of them had a large bulge in their abdomen, like a pregnant woman in her seventh month of pregnancy.
Some people's bulging stomachs are still moving.
Because of the existence of this thing, those with less cultivation and weaker abilities - especially those in the spiritual team - all had a layer of deathly aura on their faces, and looked like they were about to die.
On the contrary, the Xuanmen people with deep Taoism skills, especially the old man with the whitest beard and the ugliest complexion, still have rosy complexions.
Seeing Gu Zhisang's reflection slowly approaching, the members of the Spirit Team, whose vision was a little blurry, couldn't help but widen their eyes and let out excited and sad sobs:
"Boss Gu! Boss Gu, you finally came to save us, woo woo..."
“It’s Coach Gu!!”
Before Gu Zhisang could say anything, the vast crowd of ghosts behind her floated up:
"Quick, put down Envoy Gu's friends!"
'Be gentle and don't hurt anyone.'
Gu Zhisang: ...
She did not stop these enthusiastic ghosts: "Wait a moment, let me confirm the person."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened the mini program, found the photos of the candidates for the spirit team, and said:
"Please help put these down, they are all my friends."
Ghosts: "Okay!"
Soon, several bloated members of the spirit team were carefully put down.
Seeing that the people supporting them were all eerie ghosts, on the one hand they thought that Coach Gu was so awesome that he could even command ghosts, but on the other hand they just felt uncomfortable.
After counting twice, there were still two people missing.
The ghost said, "Messenger Gu, there are two people missing!"
A member with a sad face and a bulging belly had red eyes and said with a nasal voice:
"Those two colleagues, they, they've already gone..."
After these words were spoken, there was some silence at the scene, and Gu Zhisang's expression also turned colder:
"Your stomach...what's going on?"
Just as the team member opened his mouth to complain, several people from Xuanmen who were still hanging could no longer bear the sight of hanging like slaughtered pigs and dogs, and interrupted him.
One of them, who also had a bulging belly and a purple face, shouted angrily:
"You little girl, can't you see us?! You let your elders do this... Do you have any manners?!"
They originally thought that when Gu Zhisang met the deputy leader of Qianqing Sect, he would be extremely terrified and would put them down first.
But after waiting for so long, this yellow-haired girl actually ignored them? !
The deputy head of the Qianqing Sect also looked gloomy and couldn't help but say:
"You have no respect for your elders and cannot be taught a lesson!"
Gu Zhisang paused, sneered, and asked three times:
"My elders are either in the sky or in the ground."
"Who do you think you are to be called my elders?"
"Do I know you? Are you begging me to let you go? Is this the attitude of begging?"
The middle-aged master, who was completely annoyed by her sarcastic words, cursed and even threatened:
"Are you going to help the evil spirits to fight against Xuanmen? Xuanmen will not let you go, and you will definitely be in trouble!"
Gu Zhisang chuckled: "Are you declaring war on me?"
She raised her fingertips, and a token appeared in the air, which was the "Life and Death Order".
After making it happen, while the middle-aged master was stunned, she raised her sword and drew it.
The blood splattered three feet away.
It only takes the blink of an eye to retract the sword.
Wiping the blood stains off the wooden sword, Gu Zhisang raised his eyes with a cold gaze:
"Since you've said you won't let me go, let's go to the underworld first."
The author has something to say:
① Killing the Xuanshi with a sword:
1. There is a reason. This person has evil power. We will talk about it in the next chapter. 2. He threatened first. Xuanshi's words are powerful. After being hated, he will definitely trip him up. Sangsang just stabbed him directly (similar to: You said you wanted to kill me, so how can I give you this opportunity??)
② About the protagonist
1Xiao Yan: Good at making money, cold-faced but soft-hearted, strong-willed, and finally!!! Love-brained
2 Sangsang: Career and the great path are above everything else, including the aftermath until the end.
