Chapter 64: The Night of Ten Thousand Ghosts (2)
Yonghe County was a little uneasy that night, with a little snowflakes mixed in the night wind over the county town.
The wind blew like a fierce roar of a ferocious ghost, and the night was as deep as the eyes of the abyss.
In this dark night, in the dark darkness, the lights of thousands of homes are just like the chilling cicadas.
When Zeng Kuichu was released from the ghost raising bottle by Zhang Qi, he heard the whistling sound of a ghost from outside and was slightly stunned. Then, after looking at Zhang Qi and Lao Hei standing in front of him, his face dimmed again, and he asked respectfully: "I wonder what instructions did the God of God ask for a villain?"
Zhang Qi asked: "Now hundreds of ghosts are emerging in Yonghe County. Do you know why?"
Zeng Kui shook his head, "Report to the adults, the villain doesn't know."
Lao Hei stared at his eyes, "You don't know? If you don't know, who else can know? I advise you to tell me the truth so as not to suffer from the burning pain of the soul!"
Zeng Kui knelt down on the ground, "Reporting to the adult, the villain really doesn't know. The villain was locked in this ghost bottle by the adult, and he didn't know the situation outside. How could he know what happened?"
Zhang Qi asked, "You said you have been lurking under the Blood Evil Sect for a while. Have you not heard any news? Now thousands of ghosts are emerging, not killing people or harming people, but are willing to risk being killed by monks. Have you not paid attention to such strange things? What is the sign of this? Or what reason?"
Zeng Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to the master, the villain has only two hundred years of cultivation. Even if he is lurking under the Blood Evil Sect, he is just a periphery. How can he know about this?"
Zhang Qi said again: "You have to think about it carefully. Perhaps the key is to save Zhenren Zhengyang."
Zeng Kui still replied: "Please believe that the little one is small. The villain really doesn't know anything. If the villain knows clues, how can he not tell the adult?"
"Do you want to lose your soul!" Lao Hei suddenly shouted!
Zeng Kui looked pale and kowtowed repeatedly, just saying begging for mercy.
Zhang Qiran said quietly and knew, then waved his hand to put it into the ghost raising bottle.
Lao Hei said angrily: "This person is just lying, but he must be able to interrogate anything. In my opinion, it is better to burn him directly with the Samadhi True Fire. Under severe punishment, there is no such thing as hard-core!"
Zhang Qi turned his head and looked at him, "Do you know the true fire of Samadhi?"
Lao Hei was stunned, "No."
"Then what do you have to say?"
Lao Hei lowered his head, looking a little discouraged, but more annoyed.
Zhang Qi naturally knew that Zeng Kui was lying. He said that he was just a thug on the blood evil side, but if he was really an irrelevant person, how could Xuesha send him to inquire about his and Lao Hei?
You must know that the Blood Evil was shocked by Lao Bai. He must come to find out whether Lao Bai had followed Zhang Qi to Yonghe County. If he didn't come, he would be arrogant. If he came, he would probably have a dead end.
I am afraid no one will believe such an important thing, if you let the villain who is not in the ordinary, you will be able to do it.
What makes sense is that Zeng Kui has only been practicing for two hundred years, so why did he really let him investigate the news? Furthermore, after receiving the favor from Zhengyang Zhenren, why would he bit himself the three words "I don't know" and not let go?
Could it be that he was taken by the Blood Evil?
Zhang Qi couldn't think about it.
Lao Hei asked, "Lao Zhang, you have always been smart. Have you ever guessed how these ghosts suddenly appeared?"
Zhang Qi was silent for a while and slowly said, "These ghosts almost all emerged, neither killing nor harming people. Although they scared people, they were different from the monsters in Sansheng Town last year. The monsters deliberately scared people, but these ghosts seemed to be caught by someone inadvertently, and they did not have any fearful thoughts."
Lao Hei's eyes lit up, "I know, today must be these ghosts celebrating the festival! It's like the Mid-Autumn Festival of the mortals, it's a day of reunion. Therefore, they all emerged and were having fun all night!"
Zhang Qi gave Lao Hei a blank look.
Zhang Qi paced, thought for a while, and said, "If you say these ghosts celebrate the festival, it would be better to say that they are looking for something."
"Don't kill people, don't harm people, you're just accidentally hit and scared people." Lao Hei murmured, "Lao Zhang, what you said makes sense!"
Zhang Qi frowned again, "But what are they looking for?"
"Just let's get incense!" Lao Hei said casually: "Didn't you say that the most important thing for these ghosts is incense? They kidnapped Zhengyang Zhenren and asked Zhengyang Zhenren to provide them with incense. They took such a big taboo to do it at this time, if the incense is gone, they will definitely not be able to sit still."
Finally, Lao Hei's eyes lit up again, "I understand. It must be that Zhenren Zhengyang had found some opportunity to escape, and ran away with incense, so these ghosts couldn't sit still!"
Zhang Qi said: "No, if Zhengyang Zhenren escaped, these ghosts subconsciously did not seek, but escape. Zhengyang Zhenren is a city god, and the magic in his hands is a weapon of killing for the ghosts. Moreover, after he escapes, he can contact Chongming, and immediately a heavenly soldier and general will come and wipe out all of them."
Lao Hei wondered: "If that isn't true man Zhengyang, who else can take away the incense? Is the little scented demon?"
Zhang Qi said: "The little ghost in the fragrance is on the mountain now, and I guess he will not be able to come to Yonghe County tomorrow!"
Lao Hei nodded, "Yes."
The two of them were silent for a moment, and suddenly they spoke together: "Maybe!"
"Why go to the Chenghuang Temple to have a look?"
"Let's go!"
The two walked out of the dark little room and looked up and could vaguely see a few ghosts sliding across the night sky.
"It's crazy, it's crazy." Lao Hei muttered, "Lawless."
Finally, Lao Hei turned to look at Zhang Qi, "Don't you report this to Chongming?"
"Let's talk about it when the result comes out, don't alert the enemy."
The two of them walked around one alley after another and soon arrived near the City God Temple.
I saw that the gate of the City God Temple was closed today, and the windows were bulging, and the ghostly roaring sounds could be heard from the City God Temple.
It was supposed to be tens of thousands of people hugging the City God Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings to avoid disasters, but on this day, there was no one near the City God Temple. There was only the lights from afar, and only black was left in this area.
Lao Hei shivered, "Lao Zhang, what a heavy yin energy."
"A little bit, go and take a look."
When he arrived in front of the City God Temple, Zhang Qi reached out and pushed open the door.
Lao Hei took a deep breath, then stared at his eyes and shouted, "Damn it? Why are there so many incenses missing? It's really gone!"
Zhang Qi only watched hundreds of ghosts and ghosts in the City God Temple circling in it, like a demon dancing around, which was so horrifying.
Just a loud roar was heard, and the ghosts turned to look at Zhang Qi and Lao Hei, and suddenly rushed towards them like hawks and dogs that were snatching food.
