Chapter 225 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 23
Bai Wuchang nodded and handed the storage bag to Shen Xinran. "You are the only sister we have in the world of the living. How could we not trust you? We were just joking with you just now!"
Shen Xinran was very happy, but she pretended to be reluctant. She waited until Bai Wuchang's hands were almost sore from holding it before she took the storage bag.
Bai Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief. "The prices in the underworld are getting higher and higher. Our lives are becoming increasingly tight. You must remember to give us some money as soon as possible."
Most importantly, they knew someone in the mortal world would burn a large sum of money for them, so they had been spending money lavishly and were almost spending all their savings. Of course, there was no need to tell Shen Xinran about this.
Shen Xinran patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, my two brothers. After I finish dealing with this matter, I will burn a lot of money for you. I will make sure that your house will not be able to accommodate it."
Hei Wuchang nodded, his eyes sweeping over the ghosts wandering the streets, his brows unconsciously furrowed. "Of the five thousand ghosts you sent last time, half have yet to reincarnate. How come you brought so many new souls this time?"
Shen Xinran smiled slightly, "My two brothers are very capable. I believe that even if there are twice as many ghosts, it will be a piece of cake for you."
Bai Wuchang nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go back and work overtime these few days to send these ghosts to Fengdu City as soon as possible. Once Ksitigarbha has judged them, we can take them to reincarnate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinran immediately gave Bai Wuchang a thumbs-up and said, "Brother is truly amazing. In my opinion, if the underworld lacked the two brothers, even its operation would become difficult."
Bai Wuchang raised his chin and smiled smugly, "Of course, don't you think about it? Of the thirteen stations in the underworld, we two brothers will take the ghosts to eight stations."
Hei Wuchang frowned and continued to ask: "How did these people die?"
Shen Xinran sighed deeply and said, "These were all killed by the Zombie King Chonggu."
After saying this, she patted her thigh and said indignantly: "Speaking of this ancient worship, I get angry!"
Hei Wuchang was curious and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Xinran shook his head. "Forget it. If I tell it, it will only cause trouble for my two brothers. I'd better not say it."
When Hei Wuchang heard this, he was shocked. He made way for the Ghost Gate and signaled the ghosts to line up and go in. He then pulled Shen Xinran aside and said, "It's okay, go ahead!"
Chen Xinran's eyes flickered. "I came here and wanted to buy paper money for my two brothers, but I ran into Chonggu. He wouldn't let me go, so I told him I had an urgent matter entrusted to me by you. But when he heard your names, he said you two were just gatekeepers, worse than dogs."
When Hei Wuchang heard this, his face was filled with anger, "How dare he say that to us brothers!"
Shen Xinran nodded and continued, "Yeah, how could I let him insult you! I fought him directly, but he was too strong and beat me half to death. If I didn't have the secret medicine passed down from my family, I'm afraid my two brothers would have added me to the ghosts they received today."
Bai Wuchang also clenched his fists. "This Zombie King is so arrogant! If it weren't for the fact that we two brothers can't interfere in the affairs of the living world, I would have wanted to beat him up."
Chen Xinran smiled faintly and said, "If I remember correctly, three thousand years ago, the Zombie King Chonggu was originally in Evil Dog Ridge, under the jurisdiction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He escaped from Evil Dog Ridge and came to the world of the living. So, strictly speaking, he is still under the jurisdiction of the underworld."
Bai Wuchang's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded and said seriously, "You're right. In that case, we two brothers will go meet Chonggu later to help you vent your anger!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinran quickly smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll leave it to you two brothers."
The ghosts lined up one by one and entered the ghost gate. Shen Xinran suddenly discovered that there were two familiar faces inside.
Those were Xiao Chengzi’s grandparents. Their souls were affected by the evil spirit and were so weak that they were almost unrecognizable.
If she doesn't open the ghost gate tonight, their souls will be scattered as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow morning.
Shen Xinran looked back, trying to see if there was any trace of Xiao Chengzi. Fortunately, there was no trace of Xiao Chengzi among this group of ghosts. This was a blessing in disguise.
After the last ghost entered the Ghost Gate, it slowly closed and the Black and White Impermanence left. Yue Minglei then looked at Shen Xinran and asked, "Did Chonggu say these words?"
Chen Xinran glared at Yue Minglei and said unhappily, "What do you know? This is called the art of language! Whether he says it or not is his business, how I say it is my business!"
Yue Minglei: “…”
Taking advantage of the night, Shen Xinran and Yue Minglei hurried to the Cheng family's house. As soon as they entered the alley, they saw the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cheng. They were like abandoned dolls, lying in the corner, the marks on their bodies telling of the violence they had suffered in their lives.
The door of the Cheng family was wide open. When they walked in, they saw pitch black and dead silence all around.
Yue Minglei tried to call out, "Little Orange?"
No one answered.
Shen Xinran opened the door and looked for Xiao Chengzi, but still found nothing.
Yue Minglei's brows were twisted into a knot, and he began to feel uneasy. "Is Xiao Chengzi dead too?"
Shen Xinran shook his head directly, his tone firm, "Impossible, I summoned all the ghosts in Tongli County and sent them to the Ghost Gate, and I didn't see Xiao Chengzi in there."
At this moment, a strange sound came from the chicken coop nearby, breaking the tranquility of the night. Shen Xinran and Yue Minglei exchanged a glance and walked towards the chicken coop at the same time.
The scene before them shocked them. Cheng Zicheng was squatting alone in the chicken coop, holding a dead rooster in his hand, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
When he saw Shen Xin, his eyes were filled with hesitation and uneasiness. He quickly threw the rooster aside and explained with a trembling body: "I'm not a monster. I didn't drink blood."
Shen Xinran frowned and asked directly, "Were you bitten by Chonggu?"
Cheng Zicheng's eyes welled with tears, his voice trembling with helplessness. "I was playing outside in the alley when a strange man suddenly appeared and bit my neck. The pain was so severe that I bit his hand back. My grandparents heard the noise and came to help me, but the man shoved them into the corner. My neighbor also came to help, but he bit them too. Then he went crazy, biting everyone he saw."
After Cheng Zicheng finished speaking, he huddled in the corner, trembling. "I've told you everything I know. Can you please not kill me? I don't want to die. I want to avenge my grandparents."
Yue Minglei frowned when he saw this scene. He turned to Shen Xinran and asked with a hint of pleading in his tone, "He didn't drink human blood, can you let him go?"
Shen Xinran sighed. Being bitten by Chonggu and then bitten back meant that he had completely turned into a zombie.
Never grow old or die.
It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse for Cheng Zicheng.
