Chapter 16: Ghost King He Zhong
"Thank goodness, my wife soon became pregnant. I thought our days would be peaceful and happy, but soon the city's bully, Lin Shaoyang, fell for my wife, who was already six months pregnant and weak..."
When He Zhong said this, his fists, covered with white bones, creaked, which seemed particularly terrifying in such a quiet night.
"That day, I was out selling calligraphy and paintings when the bully Lin Shaoyang and his minions broke into my home. Not only did they insult my wife, they also spread rumors and falsely accused me of selling my pregnant wife to him for a few taels of silver!"
"I hate Lin Shaoyang so much! I filed a complaint against him and brought him to court! The official was so heartless that he took Lin Shaoyang's dirty money and wrote against his will that I was a vicious husband! The government put me in jail. To save me, my poor beloved wife had no choice but to surrender herself to the bully and beg him to release me. But Lin Shaoyang is also vicious! He bribed the jailer and brought a group of slaves to drag my poor and kind wife to prison..."
He Zhong buried his head on the ground, his crying became louder and louder, and his words were full of hatred!
"He insulted his wife, who was kneeling and begging him to spare his life, in front of all the jailers and prisoners!"
Feng Zhibai's hands, which were pinching the handkerchief, turned white.
There was also a strong sense of anger in his eyes.
"I am incompetent and begged desperately through a wall, but Lin Shaoyang takes pleasure in this!"
"Bang!"
He slapped the ground with his hands, causing dust to fly and evil spirits to rage!
"Afterwards, Lin Shaoyang, to satisfy his own evil desires, had my wife's belly aborted! I saw with my own eyes how Lin Shaoyang took my unborn child, who was only a few months old, and threw it to the ground! I hate myself for being incompetent! I hate myself for being incompetent! I hate myself for killing my poor wife and unborn child!"
He Zhong's tears of blood hit Feng Zhibai's heart.
Feng Zhibai is a prophetic spirit, and she possesses the most empathetic sensitivity between heaven and earth.
After hearing what He Zhong said about the past, she could clearly feel the scene at that time, including the emotions of everyone at that time!
Lin Shaoyang's pride, He Zhong's grief and hatred, and He Zhong's wife's despair.
She seemed to be in the prison at that time, her eyes full of grief and anger, but she was powerless!
He Zhong straightened his back, looked up at Feng Zhibai, and continued to shout through gritted teeth, "Lin Shaoyang didn't let me go! To destroy the body and hide his crimes! He brought me here and smashed my head with a hammer!"
He Zhong raised his hand and pointed at the shattered half of his skull. "They broke my legs and arms, and while I was still breathing, they buried me alive in this pit! I refused to give in! Because of my deep resentment in life, there was no ghost messenger to guide me after death, so I became a wandering ghost. But even so, I always remembered revenge! But the bully Lin Shaoyang's vicious aura was too strong, and I couldn't get close to him at all!"
Feng Zhibai had already guessed why He Zhong had become like this.
Lin Shaoyang is a bully with many lives on his hands. He carries an evil and murderous aura. Not only do wandering ghosts dare not approach him, even evil spirits will take a detour when they see him.
If He Zhong wants to take Lin Shaoyang's life, he must turn into a vicious ghost.
Then you can only keep killing people, keep doing evil, and keep absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to practice in order to become a vicious ghost!
In order to seek revenge, He Zhong began to kill, harm, and eat people, and slowly turned into an evil ghost! Gradually, he could not turn back, and could not enter the six reincarnations, nor could he be recruited by the underworld. From then on, he became the ghost king of this area.
"He Zhong, what should I say to you?"
Feng Zhibai wiped the tears from his eyes with a handkerchief, his almond-shaped eyes slightly red. "I ask you a question, and you answer truthfully. Do you and Lin Shaoyang each own half of the corpses buried here?"
He Zhong did not answer, but nodded after a moment of silence.
"But I have no regrets! I personally killed that evil bully Lin Shaoyang! Although I didn't find my poor wife and children, I avenged them!"
He Zhong knelt before Feng Zhibai again, cupping his hands and kowtowed at her feet: "He Zhong is ashamed of the Prophet's instructions. He failed to help the poor, failed to pass the imperial examination and help the suffering people, and failed to stand up straight and say that he has no regrets when he meets the Prophet again. Prophet, He Zhong is ashamed of his wife and children, and of the Prophet in this life."
Looking at He Zhong lying on the ground, Feng Zhibai shook his head and said with regret: "You are not ashamed of me, but of those innocent people who died at your hands! Lin Shaoyang harmed your entire family, your wife and children, and it is natural for you to hate him to the core! Debts should be paid back, and lives owed should be paid back. But you didn't deserve to kill dozens of innocent people for revenge, causing dozens of families grief! And you shouldn't still be out there causing chaos in the world today! He Zhong, don't you repent?"
He Zhong didn't stand up. His voice sank and he bowed even lower. Even his tone was clearly panicked. "I was sleeping here and was recently disturbed. In a moment of confusion, I failed to take good care of my subordinates and committed a crime of killing. I beg the prophet to atone for my sin. I am willing to bear all the blame! I hope the prophet will forgive us."
"call--"
When He Zhong said he was willing to take all the blame, a strong gust of cold wind suddenly blew up around him, tugging at Feng Zhibai's sleeves as if in protest.
Feng Zhibai pulled up his wide sleeves to block his eyes, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He raised his head and shouted to the people around him: "I think you are also innocent and pitiful victims. I can help you to reincarnate into the cycle of reincarnation. Please don't cause chaos here and harm the people!"
"roar!"
As soon as Feng Zhibai finished speaking, the cold wind around him blew even stronger!
Those lines were like blades that were about to cut Feng Zhibai's skin!
Her face darkened. These little devils were resisting her, resisting her words.
To put it more clearly, the little ghosts don't want to reincarnate.
He Zhong also noticed his men's actions, stood up, and stomped his right foot on the ground: "Don't be rude!"
But this did not calm the little devils down, instead it made them even more rampant!
"ah!"
"roar!"
The ghost roars were mixed with countless cold winds, and the entire Qingshan Mountain was rustling!
Old Mi Tou was squatting outside the fence. When he heard the ghost screaming coming from the construction site, he was so scared that he stood up quickly.
"No, we didn't reach an agreement?"
I looked up at the night sky, and the several pairs of ghost eyes that had disappeared appeared again!
It's so densely packed that anyone who sees it can't help but shudder.
"It's over, the deal has fallen through! I hope nothing happens to that girl!"
After taking two steps in panic, Lao Mi stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the fence!
He ran to the top of the green mountain against the cold wind and saw Feng Zhibai standing behind the Ghost King.
He Zhong roared towards the night sky, "Don't be rude! This is my benefactor! Get out of here!"
"roar!"
But as He Zhong finished speaking, a sinister blade suddenly came down from the night sky!
Yin Ren faced He Zhong without any hesitation!
He Zhong didn't expect that his men would suddenly take action against him!
He shouted from the bottom of his throat: "How outrageous!"
He raised his right hand high and swung it outwards! The Yin blade that was coming down was immediately broken into two halves!
At the same time, the yin energy around them rolled into countless long swords and attacked He Zhong and Feng Zhibai frantically!
It was obvious that the little devils had lost control and started to rebel collectively.
"Girl! Get out of the way!"
When Lao Mitou got close, he saw the sudden influx of evil energy surrounding Feng Zhibai!
Screaming in panic, he pounced towards Feng Zhibai without even hesitating!
"Millet!"
Feng Zhibai was very surprised to see Lao Mi Tou appear!
Seeing him rushing towards him without caring about his life, Feng Zhibai took a deep breath, took a light step, and appeared in front of Lao Mi Tou!
The cold wind blew the blade past He Zhong and slashed towards Feng Zhibai and Lao Mi Tou!
"prophet!"
He Zhong instinctively grabbed with both hands, but not only did he fail to catch it, he was also rolled over and fell to the ground!
Looking back at He Zhong, Feng Zhibai stood firm, narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, grabbed the long-tasseled bell at his waist with his right hand and threw it at the evil energy coming towards him!
“Ding-ling-ling——”
As soon as the sound of bells was heard, the cold wind that blew in front of the two of them was blown away until not even a trace of smoke was left!
