Chapter 094 Chapter 94

When Ayan and Zhu Jue brought Chu Shen home, they had already caught up with the opening song and dance of the Spring Festival Gala, and their eyes were filled with flowers in bloom.

"Another new song." Chu Shen listened to a few words with his ear tilted. He didn't remember anything, nor did he think it was good. There were too many actors and dancers on TV, which made people dizzy. The cameraman's camera positions switched back and forth, making it impossible to complain.

By now they had washed their hands. There were two bowls of different dumpling fillings on the tea table in the living room. Ms. Yu was rolling out the dough quickly, while Zhu's father and mother were wrapping the dumplings at a leisurely pace.

Chu Shen watched Ms. Yu's hands fluttering, the thin and round dumpling skins flying out like butterflies, "Auntie, your skills are amazing."

He had never seen anyone roll out dumpling wrappers so quickly! And he was able to make two servings of dumplings all by himself.

"I am impatient and cannot wait. I am anxious about everything I do," said Ms. Yu.

A-Yan's father was cleaning the kitchen, Aunt Tan was answering the phone, and the room was crowded.

"Auntie, why don't you take a rest and we will do it?" Chu Shen felt embarrassed to sit on the sofa here.

"No, we're almost done here, go play, kids."

As children, Chu Shen and four others were immediately stuffed with dough making agents by Aunt Yu.

"Go play."

At this moment, Chu Shen felt a little bit amused. He was already twenty years old after the Chinese New Year, but he was still being treated like a child.

He looked at Ayan again. Oh, she was pinching the dough in her hands, kneading it back and forth, and making small animals. Zhu Jue was doing the same. Dabao and Xiaobao were even poking holes in it with toothpicks.

Chu Shen also quietly joined the team of dough sculpture masters. To be honest, when he was a child, his grandparents would often treat him like this when making noodles, by pinching off a piece of dough and letting him play like this.

After Aunt Tan finished her call, she joined the team rolling out dough again. Chu Shen watched the Spring Festival Gala while poking the dough. After the crosstalk and skits, he felt his face becoming more and more solemn.

"Is it because I don't get the point? Why can't I laugh at all?"

Chu Shen asked in a low voice, is it the cultural difference between the north and the south?

Tan Dabao looked up at him at this moment: "Brother Chu, do you see that we are laughing?"

"It's just for the background music during the New Year."

"The singing and dancing are quite interesting, and the martial arts are also good." Xiaobao said.

Chu Shen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, it turned out that it was not his problem, and everyone didn't think it was funny.

What happened to him on Jingshan Mountain tonight made him still a little sensitive and he couldn't help thinking about it.

But the adults were making dumplings in the living room, so it was not appropriate for them to run into the house and chat, especially since Dabao and Xiaobao were still there.

At this moment, Ayan had already edited the picture with satisfaction and posted it in the group to show off the photo of the three of them.

I just saw the photo in the field when I returned to the hotel.

At this moment in the wilderness, his mood was indescribable.

He had previously removed the red-clothed female ghost's BUFF from his body and rushed out of the exit of Jingshan Park.

It was also at this time that the BUFF of this fierce ghost in red expired and completely dissipated.

He changed his clothes with just one click and appeared at the entrance of Jingshan Park, pretending to be a passerby looking at the park closing sign.

"System, the camera probably can't capture it." Yuanye was still cautious.

"Players, please rest assured that the host cannot be captured and recorded when it enters a non-human state."

After hearing this, Yuanye felt a little relieved. After all, this is the capital!

Yuanye is very scared of the New Year's Day. If the security technology department of the park finds out that he has turned into a hanged ghost and a female ghost in red through surveillance and starts investigating...

Even with this dress-up game system, Yuanye couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be able to track down anything.

"Heaven and earth, my little sweetheart, please bless me." He prayed silently in his heart.

I just hope that Ayan Zhujue knew they had recognized me at that time and can help me dispel their doubts.

Afterwards, Yuanye quickened his pace and walked back to the hotel. It was exciting enough for him to pretend to be a hanged ghost on New Year's Eve. He also experienced a chase and escape, and met his friend on the way.

There is really no one here tonight!

Although the buff of the fierce ghost in red has disappeared, Yuanye still feels a little chilly, perhaps because it is too cold tonight.

He was eating the hot noodle soup sent by the hotel restaurant in his room, and only then did he feel his body slowly coming back to life.

This is his New Year’s Eve dinner tonight.

Yuanye was using chopsticks in his right hand while moving his left hand fingers across the screen of his mobile phone, feeling a little hesitant.

Should he take the initiative to talk to Ayan Zhujue and the others?

According to my previous guess, the young couple are people who are into metaphysics.

Wait, Yuanye suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He was being chased wildly on Jingshan Mountain at that time, and when he met A Yan's roommate, he seemed to see him.

It’s the girl who studies archaeology!

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Boss Chu is here to play, that girl doesn't seem to be in the group."

"Is she with Ah Yan and the others? No, if they were together, there shouldn't be only three of them in the photo."

Yuanye is a little confused now, why did a fourth person appear!

Isn’t the probability that their two dormitories will somehow collide with each other a bit too high?

Yuanye immediately thought of the culprit this time.

At this moment, he was furious again. "Get out of here quickly, you idiot system! You did this Ningcheng round-trip costume mission from the Forbidden City to Jingshan on purpose!"

He now really suspects that this shitty system has led to his social death. His mother named him "Wilderness" because she hopes that his life will be like a wilderness.

But now, ever since he was tied up in the girls' dress-up game, his life has indeed become wild, but it is a wildness of social death again and again.

"Please call me Xiaozhi." said the dress-up game system.

Yuanye was almost angry to death.

"Xiaozhi is just an intelligent assistant in a dress-up game and cannot judge the player's mission status. Whether to accept a mission depends solely on the player's personal wishes."

The speech of the mentally retarded system was very formulaic, and the wilderness gradually calmed down.

"You mean it'll be alright if I don't take the mission? System, don't you think this is a little weird?"

"Also, there is a question you must answer for me."

"Player, please ask." said the retarded game system.

"When I was PKing with the Hanged Ghosts on Jingshan Mountain, why was there only a countdown for this mission? I didn't see any other Hanged Ghosts, nor did I see any notifications on whether I won the PK."

This is the question that Yuanye really wants to raise.

Something is not right tonight, and nothing is right about the mission.

Although his current mission of changing clothes and checking in for the tour had been completed, Yuan Ye remembered it very clearly.

Both of these missions require PK. When in the Forbidden City, he stood there motionless, and any girl who met the requirements who entered the range would PK with him silently.

But when he was hanging on the crooked tree, he didn't see any other ghosts.

Last year at school, he actually saw a female ghost from the Republic of China!

"The player did not win the PK." said the retarded system.

At this moment, Yuanye's eyes suddenly froze, and he forced himself to steady his voice.

"You mean there were other hanged men there, but I didn't see them?"

Since the stupid game system said there was PK, he completed the PK without knowing it.

At that time, there were no labels like "horror" or "scary" dancing in front of my eyes.

Yuanye put down his chopsticks and heard the idiot system reply, "Yes."

"So, there was a hanged man watching me, and you didn't even warn me?"

Yuanye couldn't help but hug himself, and he asked why he felt cold all over, as if there was really a ghost!

The retarded system was silent and did not speak.

The sudden silence of the system made Yuanye fall into deep thought. Why were there no flying tags in the PK at that time?

Are you afraid that the other hanged man will find out?

But where is the other hanged man?

Yuanye shuddered: "Xiaozhi, the other hanged ghost, could it be that gatekeeper emperor?"

Oh my god, he has been dead for hundreds of years, could his soul still be in Jingshan?

"No." This time the system's reply was quite quick, but it made Yuanye even more confused.

No, where did the other hanged man come from? It's too strange to have a hanged man on the hill behind the Forbidden City.

"Where is that hanged man? Wait." Yuanye suddenly remembered what happened in the Forbidden City a few days ago.

PK competitions can be carried out within a certain range, which means that the hanged man must have been in Jingshan Park at that time.

And when he changed into a ghost, he could also see the "ghost". Yuanye pinched his chin and recalled it carefully again.

He stood up suddenly, "System, the hanged ghost wouldn't be among those people chasing me, right?"

After he recalled it carefully, Yuanye felt that, given the situation in which he was nearby at the time, he had not seen anyone, and was being avoided by the system, it could only be that group of special people chasing him.

Excluding those people he didn't know, why did Ding Ling, A Yan's roommate who studied archaeology, show up?

Is she also a person who studies metaphysics? She can't be a hanged ghost, right?

"Are there so many experts in our school?" Yuanye couldn't help talking to himself.

Frankly speaking, Yuanye had no impression of Ding Ling, and he had to rack his brains to remember her appearance.

"If Ding Ling is also a metaphysical practitioner, then does that mean our school is a good place for Feng Shui?" Yuan Ye asked doubtfully.

Unfortunately, the retardation system did not answer his question.

Yuanye sighed deeply at this moment. Life is really hard.

...

Wanchun Pavilion in Jingshan.

Ding Ling was the same as the examinees behind her. She did not have a cushion under her, but she was already cross-legged on the ground, digesting this mass of energy that was a mixture of humanity and the energy of heaven and earth.

The spirit of humanity is where all the people are. The fact that it can mix with the spirit of heaven and earth at this moment is enough to illustrate the people's hearts and minds at the moment.

This can only be achieved when the rivers are clear and the seas are calm, the world is at peace, and the people are united.

Once the fusion of the energy of heaven and earth and this strand of human energy is added to one's body, it can be said that these geniuses in the mysterious world can make rapid progress every day.

Not only that, with the blessing of this humanity and the energy of heaven and earth, they will benefit even more in the future.

This is the blessing from heaven and earth, and the good fortune that comes at the right time, which is truly something you can only encounter by chance.

How could the spirit of the people gather together a hundred years ago? Even in the prosperous times, how could it be compared with the prosperity of the world today, when hundreds of millions of people are united under one roof?

Moreover, to be on the dragon vein of this capital and observe the weather of the world, in the past, Ding Ling would never have been able to obtain this luck.

The most important thing is that after she was dug out by the archaeological team, because she did not recover naturally, her negative energy had been dissipating at first, and her physical condition had not fully recovered.

The piece of warm jade that Sui Sui gave her had been used to nourish her body over the past six months, but was now basically useless to her, so Ding Ling temporarily lent it to Xie Jin's remaining soul.

Ding Ling is well aware of the problems with her body. She is a ghost from her previous life who has used special means to seal her body until now. Now she is accidentally dug out by people in the present world. Although she is not responsible, she is still rejected.

It is against the rules of heaven and earth for ghosts to live in the mortal world.

The reason why she became the Ghost King was because she was transformed from a powerful ghost and imprisoned her spirit and soul to this point.

Ding Ling closed her eyes. Time would bury many things. Some things deep in the memory could not be forgotten even if one ignored them intentionally.

Even as powerful as the Ghost King, she also has a past that she is reluctant to talk about.

Ding Ling silently stroked her neck with her hand. She was wearing a loose sweater with a low neckline and only a thin down coat on the outside.

The cold wind blew in the cold night, but she didn't feel cold at all.

This strand of energy from heaven and earth that contained the spirit of humanity bathed her whole body in an indescribable feeling. Ding Ling could feel that her missing foundation would be completely filled.

Not only that, the blessing of the humanity of this dynasty will directly help her eliminate the rejection she felt as a predecessor from the current Heavenly Dao, and be recognized here.

There was not a trace of Yin energy around Ding Ling. At this moment, she had already completely absorbed this energy. If someone looked at her at this moment, they would find that her face, which was usually pale, now seemed to have some color and looked more like a living person.

Ding Ling lowered her head slightly and looked at her hands. The tips of her fingers were slightly red.

She said nothing, looking at the Xuanmen geniuses who were still trying to digest this news.

They have no idea what a great favor they have received.

Ding Ling's eyes flickered. The Shengxuan Club would be held in Ningcheng this year, and as a member from Bincheng, she and her friends like Xiaogua would not come to participate. But the team leader came to ask her specifically and persuaded her to come and play.

After coming to Ningcheng, from the matter of the Xie family to tonight, every time Ding Ling thought she had seen through Ah Yan's intentions, she would turn around and find that it was just a drop in the ocean.

Looking back, everything in Ningcheng will be able to be connected, linked together and fit together seamlessly in the future.

Ding Ling's phone was on silent. She moved her fingers slightly and carefully sent a message to A Yan.

[Ding Ling]: The camera position is particularly good.

Ah Yan replied quickly.

[Ayan]: Really? That’s a great place to take photos!

【Ayan】：Are you not done yet and going back to the hotel? Go to bed early.

Ding Ling chuckled. She was already accustomed to using cover-up words with Ah Yan. It was obvious that he was asking her what was going on.

【Ding Ling】：Almost there. Will be right back.

By the time the young people have finished digesting the energy of heaven and earth, her duty in Shengxuanhui this time will be completely completed.

[Ayan]: Okay, be careful.

【Ayan】: It’s Chinese New Year. In the new year, Xiaolingdang will be getting better and better~

Ding Ling frowned. Ah Yan always touches the softest part of people's hearts inadvertently.

Strengthen the foundation, heal old wounds, use the energy of humanity to resist the laws of nature... With Ah Yan's silent arrangements, this new year will definitely be better than before.

【Ding Ling】: Happy New Year, I wish you a long and happy life, everything goes well, and things get better and better.

She owed Ah Yan so much that she couldn't thank him enough.

Ding Ling had never sensed any malice or strong purposefulness from A Yan and Zhu Jue.

The scent of their souls smells bland, like plain water.

Ding Ling believed that this was due to the pressure from the heavens and their own cover-up.

A gentleman will die for his friend. If it had happened before, she would never have believed that a friend whom she had only known for half a year would do so much for her.

Of course, maybe this is not a big deal for Ah Yan and the others. Ding Ling thought about the puzzles that Ah Yan had solved in the past six months.

Just like Lan Ruo, she was also not related to A Yan, but wasn't she helped by her as well?

There are people like this in this world, who do things according to their own conscience without expecting anything in return.

Maybe Ayan didn't ask for anything, and Ding Ling was willing even if she had her own purpose.

Originally, due to the suppression after resuscitation and the hidden dangers of her body, Ding Ling thought that she would only survive in the world for a few years before going into hibernation again.

The grace of eliminating stubborn illness and giving birth to a new life should be repaid with a reward of gratitude even if it happened in the past.

Ding Ling watched the sky gradually brighten. It was the first day of the new year and the dawn had arrived.

The Xuanmen disciples sitting on the ground gradually opened their eyes, looked at the Ghost King who was protecting them, and bowed to express their respect and gratitude.

"Ms. Xie Dingling."

"Mr. Ding Ling, I will accept your help no matter what happens in the future."

If these Xuanmen geniuses were previously unfamiliar, wary, and in awe of this Ghost King who had only appeared last year.

Well, last night, the new spring energy of heaven and earth descended, wrapped in the energy of humanity. She clearly wanted to enjoy it herself, but she gave most of it to the people present.

Now, all they have left is boundless gratitude and admiration.

Maybe some people originally secretly doubted that even if he was once a human, he is now a ghost king. How can someone who is not of our race occupy such a high position? But now, everyone is sincerely convinced.

"No need, I'm just lending the flowers as an offering to the Buddha." Ding Ling said, shaking her head lightly.

"It was someone else who gave me guidance that really facilitated this good fortune."

"Ring?" The team leader had a complicated look. As someone who was also present at the scene, he naturally received this gift as well.

Does Lingdang mean the mysterious master she mentioned before who was quietly helping in Bincheng?

But he didn't realize at all that the gap in their realms was so huge.

"Also, you don't have to call me Your Excellency, just call me by your current name..." She paused.

"Call me Sister Lingdang, or just call me Comrade."

Facing the looks from everyone, Ding Ling didn't take it seriously.

This is too great a credit to be claimed by her.

Ding Ling turned to look at the team leader: "My great contribution in protecting the way this time should be enough to open the secret vault, right?"

The team leader was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slowly.

"It must be enough."

This was a great fortune brought to her by A Yan and his friends, but she still had to continue looking for something that the little couple could use.

Now that I can stay in this world longer, perhaps, I can also wait for Ayan and Zhujue's reincarnation and be their protector.
