Chapter 99
The last time Liuying paid homage to his master was the night before he drank poisonous wine.
The autumn rain is continuous, and the ground is covered with weeds that reach the knees.
Zhang Sheng did not say goodbye. Before leaving, he glanced at his sleeping disciples. He remembered the innocence of each child who had just been brought into the Taoist temple, so it was best not to say goodbye.
Hundreds of years ago, the mountain streams and rivers at that time had long been divided and rebuilt into a new type of city, with an endless stream of citizens.
But he could still clearly picture the strange scene of flying fireflies that night in his mind.
At the foot of the mountain that I climbed that day, the only light source in the entire wasteland was the fireflies flying all over the sky, dancing for the last time in their lives.
Zhang Sheng looked back: "Thirteen, please take Aunt Xu out of Wangcheng. Wuran can ensure that she waits for her new body smoothly, but now she definitely needs someone to help her break away from the old body."
He hasn't finished speaking yet. After saying that, Cui Yu showed a sad look: "What are you still hesitating about? Are you worried that we will suffer misfortune when we leave Wangcheng?"
Cui Yu can use magical instruments and red thread synaesthesia, but this person is useless, but I can still understand him.
Although everyone got to know each other and gathered in Wangcheng through Zhang Shengcai, in the final analysis, their wishes were different, and there was no need to be tied to someone like him who was fighting against the fate of stillbirth.
At that time, the Qingshan where the Taoist temple was located guarded a city, but after the death of Yang Heime and Zhang Sheng's imprisonment in a ghost cave, the weeds nearby grew more ferocious than before.
Mysteries happen frequently, things are unpredictable, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be...
Can this be said to have nothing to do with him picking up Ni Shisan?
Or does it have nothing to do with him threatening the evil god's status?
Zhang Sheng's face darkened slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to everyone: "Now that Aunt Xu's new puppet body has been made, there is no need for me to transfer the soul until she is fully adapted to it. Yu Duo, Zhinan, you are not a permanent resident. The people in Wangcheng have their own things to do... It's better to just say goodbye and wait until the next day..."
Yu Duo moved towards Zhang Sheng, his face elongated: "No, Master Xun! I came here just to join you. , Why don’t you count the people in Wangcheng? There was an earthquake today, and I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Are you driving me away because you are afraid that I will be too weak to hold you back?"
Zhang Sheng sighed, and he persuaded the other party: "... ...Xiao Duo, your Yu family has always disliked disputes. Nowadays, there are only a few descendants. It’s hard to still have a descendant like you who has the memory of two lives. You can’t just stay here with me. It’s very dangerous.”
Yu Duo frowned. , there was a hundred reluctances on his face: "Stop talking, Mr. Xun! I came to you not because of Ni Shisan. You think I can't help it. I know the Yu family's situation, but I know yours better." The situation, I don’t want to see you die again for saving all of us..."
Even Yu Duo’s little mind guessed Zhang Sheng’s considerations, and Ren Zhinan was more sure of Zhang Sheng’s character through getting along with him these days.
Ren Zhinan tried his best to stay calm, trying to persuade Zhang Sheng: "Now that you have been removed from the list, it is me who has to take the responsibility. Zhang Sheng, I don't care how you want to decide your life or death. I only care about my survival for one day. You can't let it go." The citizens in his jurisdiction suffered unreasonable disasters."
"Did you hear that?" Cui Yu was satisfied with the answers of the two men, at least denying the man's idea of distracting Ma Li to attract firepower alone.
After this, Zhang Sheng could not gain any upper hand.
But the most unacceptable thing is Qiao Mu, who has always been unknown and down-to-earth in the office. She treats Zhang Sheng as her savior.
"Boss, it was you who saved me, who was waiting for death in despair on the street. If you saved me, it would be impossible for me to leave you. I know that your mother is also in Wangcheng, as well as your important friends, clients, and confidants in your adult life. You are all here, but you are also a very important person to me."
Qiao Muzhen is the type who is usually silent but shocks everyone when he speaks.
Even when she was drunk, she never said so many heart-to-heart words: "I don't think it should be chosen like this. No matter Wangcheng, Zhucheng, Liaocheng or wherever, everyone is facing the same dilemma. The evil spirit will not be eliminated in one day." , The forces of darkness continue to expand, and we have no home anywhere."
She found a feeling of home in the office.
A boss who considers others and never runs away from anything, a lovely brother who chats with her to relieve her worries, and a kind-hearted uncle like Lao Zhu.
If she left like this, she would have no home.
Zhang Sheng's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he was speechless for a long time.
No one could face the straightforward kindness of these friends without emotion. Even Qiao Mu choked up several times while talking.
"...I'm sorry, I'm just really not sure. There are millions of citizens in Wangcheng, and none of them can use magic to defend themselves like us. Let alone an earthquake, there may be an insect plague and malaria, which will cause heavy casualties."
Zhang Sheng's His voice was trembling: "My mother and uncle are the only living relatives... When the whirlpool door opened, I saw the blizzard and the afterimage of the solar eclipse many years ago again, and I felt really bad. "
Then we need to join forces. I am not the leader of the special service team of the Crime Department for nothing. Do you think of me as a friend?"
Ren Zhinan and Yu Duo looked at each other: "Xiao Duo, you should be familiar with Wangcheng, after all, wake up." You haven't shown up for a long time. Do you know how many registered ghost exorcists there are in Wangcheng?"
Yu Duo paused and then said lively: "I know! I think our Yu family was a famous intelligence department back then. They were The Tu family is nothing. There are currently three famous ones in Wangcheng, but there are also many private ghost exorcists, and I might be able to contact them."
Zhang Sheng interrupted him in shock: "What... are you? Are you planning to join forces?"
Cui Yu pulled him back and said, "Just let Ren Zhinan finish."
"The most reliable thing about Ma Li in this fierce battle is that he can have a steady supply of reserves, but we know that he will create tourists. We have found a solution to the evil spirit's method. Now we just need more ghost exorcists to join in."
Zhang Sheng pushed Cui Yu away anxiously and shook his head to stop: "No! How can that be done... You want to let that happen. A young ghost exorcist who has just entered the industry can fight against evil spirits and tourists? They can't feel pain and can even survive without a heart. How can ordinary ghost exorcists' spells be effective? This... this is simply in vain? Die! -"
Zhang Sheng shuddered just thinking about the sight of a ghost exorcist who was as young as his former apprentice being killed by evil spirits, and he was even less willing to accept Ren Zhinan's proposal.
The spirit-tying rope flew out of Zhang Sheng's pocket again. Yu Duo reacted instantly and shouted: "Brother Ren! Get out of the way... Master Xun is going to do this again!"
Ren Zhinan had suffered a loss once, and it was difficult for him to do so. Eat it a second time.
He lowered his head to look at the rope that bound the spirit, and used his mind power to expel the rope that was about to be entangled. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "You look down on us too much. Could it be that except for you, none of us can deal with those evil monsters? Even if you don't Believe me, you should also believe in the blood of your famous ghost exorcists. The righteous path and true intention that have been inherited for thousands of years can be driven away by evil spirits or tourists."
After a while, Zhang Sheng stopped. I really don't have the energy to argue with Ren Zhinan.
Zhang Sheng asked: "Even my master and uncle are afraid of the evil god. If you tell me that it can be easily destroyed, I won't believe it. My life is worthless. Every day I live counts, but I can't just watch." Watching others die."
Yu Duo was so angry that "my life" was not worth anything. He didn't expect that no matter how long it took, the ancestor still didn't realize that the backbone of their group was Xun Baishan.
"...Ouch, who bit me?"
Yu Duo suddenly murmured, looking down at the back of his hand that was bitten red, puzzled: "What's going on, I felt something biting me, but when I lowered my head, I saw Not anything..."
At this time, Cui Yu pulled out the thing that quickly hid behind Yu Duo's back with one hand, focusing on speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.
Looking at the big head hanging upside down and the ugly appearance, Zhang Sheng was suddenly shocked: "Momo?"
"What Momo... do you know? Why did it bite me! -"
Yu Duo grinned in pain, It felt like my hand was suddenly hit hard with an electric shock stick, and then stung by a poisonous jellyfish. It was painful and itchy indescribably.
But what made him most uncomfortable was the appearance of the thing that bit him - a huge head followed by a shrunken body that seemed to have no bones and joints, just like a shrimp!
Zhang Sheng held Mo Mo in his arms and said hesitantly: "What...what's going on? Are my uncle and grandfather also around here? Thirteen, have we strayed into the ghost land... "
He was very cautious because he hadn't met Zhang Hua for a long time. Since the last time his uncle and grandfather had a private chat with his mother and told her about the curse on the Zhang family, Zhang Hua has disappeared again, and it is unknown whether he has left Wangcheng.
But the living dead in front of him who was also cursed with him was indeed his uncle Momo, but he was not sure whether it was the real person or a fabricated illusion.
Unless... you touch Momo's heart, the heart of the living dead generally won't beat, but only when it blends with the blood of your loved ones, you can feel some pulse.
Zhang Sheng controlled his magic power and opened a slight wound on his fingertips, then sprinkled the blood droplets on Mo Mo's eyebrows.
"...Giggle, giggle..."
The terrifying laughter continued, and Yu Duo couldn't help but hide behind Ren Zhinan and complain: "Oh...Brother Ren, have you seen the teeth of that thing? They are green, dark green." Ah... what is that, an alien?"
Ren Zhinan's arm was pinched by Yu Duo, and he frowned and said, "They are all running into Zhang Sheng's arms. They are probably acquaintances. Please stop talking.
" Sheng: "There is a pulse. It's really Momo! -"
If he remembered correctly, Zhang Hua had said before leaving that he was going to take a long trip east. At that time, he thought that his uncle and grandpa were going to find someone to break the curse for Momo. The antidote is gone.
But Momo didn't look changed at all.
"Momo, where is your father?"
Momo blinked his dark round eyes and grinned: "Giggle, giggle...you...you are...Ji Gang..."
Zhang Sheng exclaimed and looked over quickly Cui Yu: "My uncle can actually talk!!——"
