Xia Li's face was pale and his eyes revealed fear.
He walked to the back of the dry toilet, faced the cesspool that emitted a foul smell, and tried to pry open the heavy stone lid with trembling hands.
He used all his strength and finally moved the stone away, revealing the dark entrance of the pit.
Standing next to the pit, he was aware of what was going to happen next. He kept struggling, trying to break free from that force, but found that his body was still out of control.
"I don't want to go down, I don't want to go down!"
But my body was ready to jump.
He closed his eyes tightly, jumped up, and jumped into the pit.
The dirty sewage flooded his body and the pungent smell almost suffocated him.
Grandma Xia, who was following behind, saw her grandson jump directly into the pit.
I was shocked and hurried forward to save him.
However, an invisible force prevented her from approaching the pit.
He struggled and shouted, but was unable to break free from the constraints of that power.
Seeing that she was unable to save the patient, Grandma Xia became extremely anxious.
So she turned and ran towards the village, shouting as she ran, hoping to attract the villagers' help.
When Xia Li's grandmother ran back to the toilet panting, Xia Li was already lying in the pit, motionless.
The narrow manure pit could barely accommodate an adult's body. Grandma Xia could only watch her grandson soaking in the dirty manure water, her heart aching.
The rescue operation was launched quickly. The villagers found a short villager who bravely jumped into the pit, wearing thick gloves and carefully put the rope around Xia Li's body.
With the joint efforts of everyone, Xia Li was finally pulled out of the pit.
Song Jiao stood a little further away because the scene was indeed a bit disgusting.
After finally pulling Xia Li out of the pit, the village chief quickly called 120 emergency number.
Soon, the ambulance roared in. The doctors and nurses were stunned when they saw Xia Li's condition.
They saw that there were still a few enoki mushrooms hanging in Xia Li's hair, obviously he had just been rescued from the cesspool.
Although the situation was somewhat disgusting, doctors quickly began treatment.
They carefully lifted Xia Li onto a stretcher and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
At the same time, the unusually concentrated ghost energy in the school was like a bright light in the dark night, which not only attracted the attention of the surrounding Taoist practitioners, but also alarmed the gods in the underworld.
The practitioners of Xuanmen rushed to the scene. They were originally confident that they could solve this strange phenomenon, but they soon found that things were much more difficult than they had imagined.
The thick ghost energy seemed to have its own life, constantly surging and expanding, constantly impacting the barrier they set up.
The practitioners tried various spells and charms, but to no avail. They could only watch helplessly as the ghostly aura grew stronger.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Xuanmen practitioners decided to seek more powerful assistance.
They contacted the underworld through secret methods and asked for support.
Black and White Impermanence, two famous gods in the underworld, rushed to the scene as soon as they received the news.
They were dressed in traditional black and white robes and had serious expressions. The air around them seemed to freeze when they appeared.
The Black and White Impermanence looked around with a frown on their faces, obviously feeling the threat of this unusual ghostly aura.
"It's actually devouring thousands of ghosts?" Hei Wuchang couldn't believe it.
Bai Wuchang picked up the mourning stick and said, "This ghost really deserves death."
The man in red suddenly went crazy, his eyes flashing red, as if he had lost his mind.
She opened her mouth wide, let out a deafening roar, and pounced directly at the Black and White Impermanence.
The two gods obviously did not expect the red-clothed man to suddenly attack, and were caught off guard for a moment.
The man in red's mouth seemed to have turned into a bottomless black hole, with a powerful suction force emanating from it.
The Black and White Impermanence struggled to escape, but their bodies were uncontrollably sucked into the mouth of the man in red.
Amid the crowd's exclamations, the Black and White Impermanence were swallowed by the man in red and disappeared into the darkness.
This scene shocked everyone. They looked at Hongyi in disbelief, as if they had seen something terrible.
However, something even more terrifying happened to them.
With the disappearance of the Black and White Impermanence, an even more terrifying aura descended upon the scene.
King Yama, the supreme ruler of the underworld.
Came in person.
He looked at Hongyi expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The King of Hell slowly raised his hand, and an invisible force emanated from his hand.
This force was like a sharp blade, directly cutting off the ghost energy surrounding it.
With this attack from the King of Hell, the body in red instantly turned to ashes, without even a trace left.
The whole process happened so fast that people didn't even have time to react.
Song Jiao happened to come back at this time and happened to see the scene of Hong Yi disappearing. She sighed and said, "So miserable?"
Because of Hongyi's disappearance, Xia Li fell into an unprecedented crisis.
The doomed fate previously suppressed by the red-clothed man was rewritten in an instant, as if Pandora's box was opened. Countless evil spirits took this opportunity to rush into the emergency room and launched a frantic attack on Xia Li's body.
Each of those evil spirits harbored resentment and malice. They wanted to occupy Xia Li's body and take his life.
At the same time, after dealing with the man in red, the King of Hell also noticed Song Jiao standing aside.
Her merits and virtues were like the radiant stars, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at them. Even the King of Hell had to pay his respects to her.
After paying his respects, the King of Hell disappeared into thin air, as if he had never appeared.
Song Jiao acted as if nothing had happened. She returned to the villa as if everything was under her control.
With her return, the ghostly aura around her dissipated in an instant, as if driven away by some mysterious power.
The entire villa has regained its former tranquility and peace.
When Shen Bai hurried to the scene, everything was over.
He looked at the surroundings that had returned to calm, a confused expression on his face, "Is it over?" he asked in disbelief.
Song Jiao sat on the sofa in the villa with the door open. She responded softly, "It's over. You can do whatever you want in the next ghost cultivator selection! Xia Li will probably be a useless person in the future." Her voice was flat and indifferent, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"What's going on?" Shen Bai asked in confusion.
"A man who cannot live past the age of eighteen relies on the protection of the Ghost King to prolong his life. What do you think will happen to him when the Ghost King dies?" Song Jiao explained indifferently.
Her words made Shen Bai suddenly realize. He remembered the record he had seen in the Shen family's secret method before. This method of asking the Ghost King to protect and prolong life does indeed have huge risks.
Once the Ghost King dies, the previous fate of death will be broken, and the person who extends the life will lose his lifespan and soul, becoming a consciousnessless useless person.
