The few young men who stayed there silently looked at his back. After a long while, someone asked in confusion, "What on earth is he doing here?"
The four of them looked at each other, and they all read the word "confusion" on each other's faces.
Chen Zhiqiao touched his neck. It had been chilly just now, as if it had been covered with ice. But after Jing Cheng patted his shoulder, the bone-chilling coldness disappeared instantly. It was really weird!
Thinking back to the half-warning words that the man said before leaving, Chen Zhiqiao couldn't help but shudder. Was there a ghost following behind me just now?
"Shall we continue playing?" the girl hesitated. She had always thought that the Pen Fairy was also a kind of fairy, but from what the man just said, she felt that asking the Pen Fairy was actually a sign of possession by a wandering ghost. This explanation made her feel uneasy.
"What are you still playing for?" Chen Zhiqiao glared at the fat boy, obviously realizing the problem. The man said "I was almost possessed", which shows that no one was possessed just now, but the fat guy was playing tricks on them. However, he did not get angry at him, but only snorted coldly, "Everyone, go back to your own homes and find your own mothers!"
Seeing his unhappy expression, the others thought he was angry because that person had just embarrassed him. No one wanted to offend him, so they had to obediently follow his arrangements.
…
Jing Cheng was walking back to the temple with the ghost he had just caught.
The "ghost" taken away by Jing Cheng revealed his true identity, and turned out to be a teenager.
...
...
He has a thin build, delicate features, and looks a bit dull.
This image reminded Jing Cheng of his classmate Chen Zhiyi.
According to "A Piao" himself, if he had not died, he would be 20 years old this year.
As for who he was and how he died, he no longer remembered - this was the normal condition for the dead.
When all his obsessions are gone and he has forgotten everything, his soul can return to heaven and earth and wait for reincarnation... But the ghost that Jing Cheng accidentally caught was a man with his own ideas. In the past few years after "his" death, he had become a worshipper of a mountain boss and was used to bullying others in the ancient city scenic area. He didn't want to let go of his obsession and go through reincarnation.
No wonder the ancient city has had a rule in recent years that businesses will not open at night, these little devils have made an indelible contribution.
"I'm telling you! You'd better let me go quickly. When my boss comes looking for you, you'll be the dead soul of his men!" Apia glared at Jing Cheng fiercely.
Jing Cheng: "...If you don't tremble when you say this, the effect will probably be better."
As he spoke, Jing Cheng snapped his fingers and tightened the "rope" around Apia's neck a little.
"..." Ah Piao stared and struggled in mid-air, "My boss is the leader of this area, and he has hundreds of soldiers under him. If you are not afraid of death, just confront him!"
"Who's your boss?"
Jing Cheng was listening absent-mindedly at first, but his eyelids twitched when he heard the words. Hundreds and thousands of ghosts... There couldn't be a ghost king hiding here, right?
Even in troubled times, it is not possible to give birth to a ghost king, let alone in peacetime.
Isn't this little brat just bragging?
Apia seemed to think he had something to rely on, and he puffed out his chest and said proudly: "Our boss is a fierce ghost! He can kill ten little Taoist priests like you!"
Jing Cheng: “…”
Since ancient times, he had never heard of a ghost that could defeat a Heavenly Master. Normal ghosts, hearing the name of "Heavenly Master", which one would not be terrified and kneel down to beg for life? After all, one of the Heavenly Master's jobs is to "eliminate ghosts", and the relationship between the two is like that of a cat and a mouse, a wolf and a sheep - naturally unequal.
Seeing that the little devil was so proud that his nose was pointing up to the sky, Jing Cheng decided to teach him a lesson.
He snapped his fingers, chanted a spell, and a flame popped out from the tip of his index finger.
That is the nemesis of all demons and monsters——
Samadhi true fire.
Apia: “…”
Although he didn't know why this man could create flames, he had never been so clear as at this moment that the person in front of him was not an ordinary pretentious Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, but a guy who could really destroy him with ease!
Especially the flames at his fingertips.
What kind of fire was that! Why did it make him feel so frightened?
Apia stared at the small flame with his whole body trembling. If he were still a human now, he would probably be scared to death.
The reason why Jing Cheng did not directly destroy the little ghost was because he could not sense any hostility from it. In other words, the little ghost had never harmed anyone, and his bragging was just bluffing.
He considered himself to be a principled heavenly master. He would not accept ghosts that did not harm people, but would simply strike them with lightning if they did.
The little brat in front of him was not hopeless... Jing Cheng decided to let him go for now, so he withdrew his hand.
Apia breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could let out the anger, his heart tightened again.
Because Jing Cheng said: "You should know that it is very easy for me to turn you into ashes. You'd better stay by my side and get rid of your obsession. Reincarnate as soon as possible. If you keep wandering in the human world, your final fate will be to have your soul torn apart!"
Apia: “…”
This is definitely a threat!
Jing Cheng looked at Qin Yan and Fu Le running towards him from afar, and glanced at the ghost beside him: "You should know what to do without me telling you."
Apia nodded frustratedly. He couldn't scare people. He was not a bad ghost, so of course he knew what to do.
Jing Cheng's lips curled slightly. It turned out that to deal with those who were disobedient, force was still needed to intimidate them.
Qin Yan came over breathlessly, and seeing Jing Cheng smiling and looking like he was in a good mood, he pursed his lips and said, "Where have you been? Everyone is looking for you."
Jing Cheng paused and thought for a moment, then he chose his words carefully and said, "I picked up an interesting little thing."
"What is that?" Fu Le also came over and looked behind Jing Cheng.
Jing Cheng stopped him, and in the surprised gazes of the two, he coughed lightly and told the truth: "It's something you can't see."
Qin Yan: “…”
Fu Le: “…”
What they can't see, isn't it a ghost? !
Seeing the two people's horrified faces, Jing Cheng wanted to joke: "Do you want me to open your Yin Eyes to see?"
Qin Yan: “…”
Fu Le: “…”
Ah Piao floated around behind Jing Cheng with a face full of resentment, muttering: "What do you mean by 'thing'? I am not a thing..."
After being glared at by Jing Cheng as if warning, he dared not speak any more.
On the way back, Fu Le rubbed his arms from time to time to suppress the sweat that broke out involuntarily. He thought that Taoist priests were indeed different from normal people, and the things they picked up were extraordinary.
Picking up a ghost and showing it to us...is that reasonable?
He glanced at the person next to him carefully. He actually liked someone like this. His brother Yan was really awesome!
After Jing Cheng returned to the temple, no one in the program crew, including Director Zhao, asked him where he had been. In their eyes, Taoist Jing had been elusive more than once or twice, so it would be useless to ask. If things went wrong, it might be big news that would shock the internet. The program crew was already in dire straits, and there was no need for more big news.
Jing Cheng tilted his head and looked at Qin Yan. Is this what you mean by “everyone is looking for me”?
Qin Yan looked away awkwardly, thinking that everyone was afraid that you would cause trouble, but of course I was the only one who was truly worried about you.
However, he only dared to think about such words in his heart and would never say them out loud.
Jing Cheng noticed that he had a strange look on his face and was about to ask him something when his attention was drawn to another group of people.
Mr. Chen was preparing to leave the temple with several bodyguards.
Perhaps it was because the monks in the temple chanted sutras for him, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, completely different from the gloomy look before he came.
Jing Cheng took a quick look and found that even after burning incense, worshiping Buddha, and reciting scriptures, the black energy on Mr. Chen's forehead did not decrease.
What did this person do to be so unlucky?
Just as Mr. Chen stepped out of the altar, the nails of the plaque above the altar suddenly loosened. With a "click", the heavy plaque fell straight down on Mr. Chen's head.
The plaque in the temple's altar was donated by a wealthy person and is made of the hardest material, real gold and silver.
A plaque made of pure metal is not something that ordinary people can withstand. If it falls down, you will be half-crippled if not killed!
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden scene. They just stood there staring blankly, no one moving.
Even Mr. Chen himself was dumbfounded and stopped.
Humans are always more likely to get nervous and make mistakes when the moment is more dangerous or urgent.
“Oh my god—!”
"What are you doing standing there? Run!"
“Be careful!!!”
At this critical moment, a person suddenly rushed out from the crowd, rushed over at lightning speed, and pushed Mr. Chen away.
“Bang—”
The huge metal plaque fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.
Mr. Chen fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch!", and all the fat on his body trembled. He raised his eyes and saw the figure blocking his way. He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
Jing Cheng: “…”
No, it didn’t hit you on the head, why are you dizzy?
Is this a scam?
