"A parade of a hundred demons?" Shouxin asked in confusion.
Before it was trapped in the killing formation, it was still a good demon, focused solely on cultivation. After becoming entangled with Yi Changsheng, its attention was entirely on Yi Changsheng, and it had never heard of the Hundred Ghosts Parade.
After being trapped in the killing formation, the only place they could move around was the Yi family's residence, and they knew nothing about what was happening outside.
It was only after becoming a messenger in the underworld that I gained some understanding of some things in the present world.
For example, it's very convenient to stay in touch now.
No matter where the other party is in the world, as long as you press a number, you can contact them with that small, brick-like device.
Not only can you hear the other person talking, but you can also see their face through that thing called a cell phone, and know what's happening on their end.
Furthermore, modern transportation is not horse-drawn carriages or sedan chairs, but four wheels. With a little fuel, and controlled by a person, one can go wherever one wants.
If you want to go to a very far place, there is an even faster way: take a plane.
Airplanes fly through the air and reach their destination in the shortest possible distance.
It is now gradually absorbing this new knowledge in the underworld.
However, no one has yet told her what the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is.
"The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is when the gates of hell open at midnight and all kinds of ghosts parade around."
"On this day, most people will stay indoors to avoid offending others. Some people will also offer sacrifices to comfort the ghosts wandering in the human world, and at the same time, to universally save and worship the childless and lonely ghosts, so that the ownerless and lonely ghosts can also enjoy the worship of the human world."
"However, in the past, there wouldn't have been so many ghosts in a city or district, and... they would wander around until dawn, when they would pass through the Gates of Hell to return."
"But these ghosts... are definitely coming for us!"
Jiang Yuan parted her thin lips slightly to answer Shou Xin's question, but her dark eyes were fixed on the endless stream of ghosts converging on them.
Yi Changsheng only had tens of thousands of ghosts trapped in the killing formation, but now there were more than tens of thousands of ghosts in front of her...
If all these ghosts are heading towards them...
Jiang Yuan frowned.
"Coming for us?" After Jiang Yuan pointed it out, Shou Xin turned around and glanced at her.
It discovered that not only around it, but also above its head and under its feet, many ghosts had gathered.
These ghosts are gradually approaching them.
Yi Changsheng smiled as he watched this scene.
God bless him!
God bless him!
escape!
Yi Changsheng tilted his head and crawled backward with all his might.
He was about to run away while Jiang Yuan's attention was elsewhere!
However--
Before he could climb more than a few steps, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Bang--
Yi Changsheng rolled over after falling to the ground, cried out in pain, touched his bleeding head, ignored the wound, and limped into the alley.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the source of the sound, then at the empty space behind her. "Go after Yi Changsheng!"
Jiang Yuan looked at Shou Xin and gave him some instructions.
Shouxin nodded, "Yes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shouxin chased after Yi Changsheng, who had just landed.
When the ghosts saw that Shouxin was about to leave, they all rushed towards it, their expressions becoming strange, as if Shouxin were some kind of hot commodity.
Jiang Yuan took out a talisman and muttered incantations.
boom--
Just as the ghosts were about to attack the Guardian, a flame shot up in front of them, frightening them into retreating.
Seize the opportunity and leave.
The ghosts drooled, and their intermittent, sawing sounds rang out: "Merit...merit...merit!"
The ghosts who had originally intended to follow Shou Xin stopped in their tracks and stared longingly at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.
They were just talking about merit?
Before Jiang Yuan could think it through, the ghosts rushed towards her in a frenzy, and those ghosts that had been hovering around her without moving also joined in.
Ghosts fear the light of merit.
She has accumulated merit; these ghosts should be afraid of her...
Why would they still rush in?
Jiang Yuan conjured a barrier for himself, and with a snap of his fingers, flames erupted from the attacking ghosts.
The flames burned them to ashes.
The screams of the ghosts echoed from mid-air.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan remained indifferent, showing not a trace of sympathy.
They wanted to kill her!
Upon seeing this, the ghosts that had rushed forward stopped in mid-air, but soon came to their senses and looked at Jiang Yuan with a drooling expression. The saw-like voice rang out again, "Merit... merit... merit."
The ghosts shouted, and then suddenly swarmed forward, one after another, seemingly unafraid of disappearing into nothingness.
"Night tour." Jiang Yuan took out a paper talisman and murmured.
There's something wrong with these ghosts!
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is simply a procession; they generally do not attack people.
She's an ordinary person now, and whether she can see them or not, they shouldn't be eyeing her covetously.
As soon as the talisman was burned, a gust of cold wind swept by.
In the blink of an eye, Ye You, dressed in Tang suit and with his eyes half-closed, appeared behind Jiang Yuan.
When Ye You saw the ghosts gathering, he opened his eyes, a look of surprise in them.
"These ghosts..."
Even he could tell that something was wrong with these ghosts.
They were filled with murderous intent!
"Night Wanderer, what happened?" Jiang Yuan glanced at Shen Yeyou out of the corner of her eye and asked seriously.
"Once the gates of hell opened, some ghosts escaped uncontrollably, and the gates to the underworld suddenly opened in many other places. The vengeful spirits that had been suppressed by the lamp spirits were also stirring."
The night wanderer explained briefly, then looked at the ghost in front of him seriously with a focused expression.
There are too many.
"What?" A look of surprise crossed Jiang Yuan's beautiful face.
Opening the gates of the underworld requires immense magical power, something most underworld officials don't possess.
The night tour refers not to one place, but to multiple places.
Currently, there is no one else besides her who has such abilities!
"Sir, there are too many ghosts here, let's go!" Night Wanderer immediately made the judgment.
So many ghosts, some of whom were evil spirits imprisoned deep in hell.
Even a minor Yama would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with them.
“I want to leave, but they don’t seem to want me to,” Jiang Yuan replied, coldly watching the ghosts approaching.
"Go back and guard the spirit of the lamp," Jiang Yuan said coldly.
The ghosts escaped through the Gates of Hell, and many other places opened the gates to the underworld, allowing the ghosts to escape.
The underworld officials and judges cannot allow those ghosts to roam the mortal realm; they will inevitably come to the mortal realm.
So, the weakest point right now is the underworld!
To be precise, it's the spirit of the lamp!
The vengeful spirit suppressed beneath the lamp's spirit is stirring restlessly...
If, like last time, the lamp spirit cracks open even a little, all those vengeful ghosts will be released, including that ghost king!
Those who have wandered at night must return to guard the spirit of the lamp!
"Does Your Excellency mean... that the other side used a diversionary tactic?" Ye You realized the meaning behind Jiang Yuan's words, frowned, and asked.
Jiang Yuan remained silent.
