"Where did this wandering ghost come from? It's got some nerve, daring to run wild on my turf!"
The short, old man, surrounded by a thin layer of pale yellow divine light, relentlessly pursued a burly man who was more than twice his height. His aged and kind face was filled with anger, and the intense divine light seemed to burst forth from his eyes.
"Earth God!"
Seeing the small old man who was only half a person tall, Feng Bingwen understood. Although their Feng Family Village had few worshippers, they were quite responsible in their worship of the local earth god.
Well, it could also be due to the special timing of the time, the transition between the old and the new, when the human spirit is in full swing, and the divine spirit also becomes active. During this period, the incense offerings that ghosts and gods can receive are the most abundant.
"Duhe?"
When Feng Bingwen's gaze shifted from the local earth god to the man he was chasing and beating, he was taken aback. He recognized the man; it was Du He, the escort agent for the only security company in Qingshan County whom he had introduced.
However, this man, who was led astray by him and turned to the right path, seemed no different from an ordinary person, but whenever the earth god's cane struck him, his figure would become even more illusory.
In the short time he watched, the burly man's figure appeared somewhat blurry and uncertain, as if he would be reduced to ashes in a few more blows.
Just as Feng Bingwen stepped forward, about to do something, his expression shifted, and in his mind, the Heavenly Book appeared with countless rays of light.
Ghost searching for people in the middle of the night, evil deeds, 369
"Lord Earth, please show mercy!"
The records in the celestial book enlightened Feng Bingwen. He floated up from the rooftop, with thin clouds swirling around his short body. Although he wore simple farm clothes, he still possessed a somewhat ethereal and otherworldly air.
"Wind Master!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's voice, the man who had been relentlessly pursued by the local earth god looked up and saw the familiar face and figure. Overjoyed, he knelt down with a thud, his face filled with sorrow.
"I've finally found you!"
"Young Master Feng, don't be fooled by this evil spirit. He was awakened by my cane. He didn't look like this when he first touched this place. He had a ferocious face, a hideous appearance, and was surrounded by evil aura. Now that he can't beat him, he starts spouting nonsense."
Seeing the child suspended in mid-air, the Earth God couldn't bring himself to pull his cane down. He had inquired about the child and knew how vicious the other party was.
"Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."
Feng Bingwen, with polite demeanor, then looked at the kneeling ghost, his expression solemn.
"Du He, what happened to you? Why do you look like this?"
The ghost before them was none other than Du He, who had previously worked as a thug for the casino. After being "guided" by Du He, he had reformed and returned to the right path, becoming a bodyguard in a security escort agency.
When they met again, the other person had become a lost and helpless ghost, banished by the local earth god. If he hadn't appeared to stop him, the earth god would probably have beaten him to a pulp.
"Master Feng, I'm so miserable!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's question, the man couldn't help but let out a wail.
"Here!"
Before Duhe could continue howling, a gust of eerie wind carrying a strong scent of incense suddenly swept through the sky, and a Yaksha god, over ten feet tall, descended from the heavens wielding a trident.
"Qingshan County, Duhe, you have suffered a terrible misfortune and your lifespan has come to an end. Come with me!"
The Yaksha God glanced at Feng Bingwen and the local earth god beside him, then looked at Du He, which immediately made the man's soul even weaker.
Compared to the short and still-growing Feng Bingwen, and the kind-faced Earth God, this Yaksha god, who was over ten feet tall, was truly terrifying.
"I……"
Du He's face was filled with fear.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment!"
Although the Yaksha god looked familiar, Feng Bingwen had almost never interacted with them before, but now he had no choice but to speak.
“Feng Bingwen, I know what you want to ask, but it’s none of your business. Just go back and celebrate the New Year with your family. We’ll take care of the rest.”
Before Feng Bingwen could even ask the question, the Yaksha god interrupted him.
“He met his tragic end after becoming a bodyguard at a security escort agency. In other words, it was my intervention that led to this outcome. Regardless of the circumstances, I bear some responsibility for this. Even if I didn’t intervene, I still have the right to know.”
Feng Bingwen did not give up. Seeing someone he knew suddenly die tragically, he found it difficult to remain calm.
"Then I'll tell you. There's no point in hiding it. A fierce beast came out of the mountains, and their escort team just happened to run into it."
Yaksha God was also decisive.
"Beast!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen understood the gravity of the situation.
Rumor has it that Biao was the third cub born to the tigress, but tigresses usually only give birth to two litters, and only in extremely rare circumstances will they give birth to a third cub, which the tigress will consider an extra child.
Of course, the so-called third cub often refers to the weakest of the three cubs. Such a cub is often not favored by its mother and may be weaned or even driven away and abandoned.
Without the protection of adult tigers, the survival rate of a naturally weak tiger cub in the mountains is predictable. Therefore, most tiger cubs die young and very few survive.
But once it survives, this beast is even more ferocious and savage than a tiger. It eats everything: withered leaves, broken branches, animal carcasses, sewage, and dirty springs. It is also capable of climbing trees, scaling rocks, flying over mountains, and crossing streams.
Once it reaches adulthood, it means that the leopard has survived all the tribulations and become one of the most terrifying beings in the mountains and forests. Its lonely growth experience will make the leopard develop a cold and vicious nature, and ordinary tigers are no match for it.
"Du He, get up now and come with me!"
A cold shout rang out, and Yaksha God, having finished explaining to Feng Bingwen, flung out an iron chain, binding Du He, who had already become a wandering soul.
“Master Feng, my consciousness was in a state of confusion before, and my soul wandered here. I had no other thoughts, only one obsession that I could not let go of.”
Realizing he didn't have much time left, Du He quickly shouted.
"I beg you, Lord Feng, to take care of my mother at home. If you do, I can die in peace."
"I agree. Go in peace!"
Feng Bingwen let out a faint sigh; this was the only response he could give.
"Thank you, Master Feng."
Du He was overjoyed upon hearing this, and his face showed genuine happiness.
"Where is that monstrous beast now?"
Seeing the Yaksha God preparing to leave, Feng Bingwen spoke again.
"Although you are a person of the mortal realm, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"As long as he is here, it concerns me."
Feng Bingwen pointed to Duhe.
"The City God has already made arrangements, so there's no need for your interference. You can go back and get some rest!"
The Yaksha God remained silent and directly led Duhe's soul away.
