After punishing the dog officer, Zhong Dao and his party took a detour to Xingningfang, intending to leave the city through Tonghua Gate.

"Xiaosheng, this gratification will definitely alarm the Nuo God, so we must leave the city quickly."

Zhong Kui waved his hand, signaling for the many ghosts to follow him, "The Nuo Festival Day is at the cusp of the storm, so we can't stay here for long."

That's right, the city was severely cracked down, but they also committed crimes against the wind, exorcising ghosts and hurting people, which was a shocking crime.

Not to mention, Zhong Sheng had previously chased away two Nuo gods in order to find out the whereabouts of his second uncle.

At first, I just asked the old man to question him, but now I think it's a pity, I should have killed him and silenced him.

"Okay, second uncle, come back to Zhongnan with me. Grandma and sister-in-law are waiting for you?"

When Zhong Kui heard about his mother and little sister, tenderness appeared on his face, "I went on a study trip and haven't seen them in three years."

"Second uncle, Uncle Du will take care of them, so everything will be fine."

Zhong Kui nodded when he heard his friend's name, "Du Ping is a man of justice. With him taking care of my family, I won't have any worries."

After saying that, he sighed again, "My little sister is not young, it's time to get married."

Zhong Sheng's heart moved, "I think Uncle Du and my sister-in-law are in love, why not..."

"You still have to say that? Haha."

Zhong Dao smiled boldly and said, "I have already planned to kiss you one after another."

It seems that after Zhong Dao escapes from trouble this time, he will enter the plot of Zhong Kui marrying his sister.

Just as Zhong Sheng was thinking about it, he heard his second uncle say to him, "Xiao Sheng, if you follow me by nature, I'm afraid you will have many difficulties in the future."

Zhong Kui was also a heroic warrior. He believed that he was good at both civil and military affairs and would be able to reach the top of the high school and assist the emperor.

The beating of reality killed him, and made him understand that this dirty world has no room for integrity.

Since Zhong Sheng was in elementary school, he has had a pure evil nature, and he would kill anyone he didn't understand. He has caused countless troubles since he was a child.

"Vanity Fair kills people without showing blood. You and I, my uncle and nephew, have no chance of being there in this life."

Zhong Sheng said, "Second uncle, you are an evil ghost now and you have many tribesmen. You can build a foundation with nothing. If I don't do well in the world in the future, I can come and seek refuge with you."

Zhong Sheng’s words reminded Zhong Kui.

The Great Sui Dynasty came to an end, and the current troubled times were beginning to settle. The Tang Dynasty was showing signs of unifying the world, and there were no heroes left in the world.

But the underworld is different. There are ghost kings and ghost heroes everywhere who are racing to enclose their territories, and they are still in a state of separatism among the heroes.

The Lord of Taishan Prefecture entrusted Dongyue with the command of Haoli Ghost Kingdom, but wars were raging in other places, and each place in the underworld had its own master.

He has hundreds of wronged souls, and he himself is an evil ghost who dares to fight and kill, so he will definitely be able to build a foundation with his bare hands.

"Okay, good nephew, thank you for reminding me."

Zhong Kui thought for a moment, tore off a corner of the red robe behind him, and placed a red scarf around Zhong Sheng's neck.

"After today, your soul will return to the body. The yin and yang are separated and it is difficult to communicate. Let's use this object as a medium."

This red scarf was given by Zhong. It can protect the soul when entering and exiting the underworld, and connect the soul to his second uncle Zhong Kui.

Zhong Sheng touched the red scarf, the tentacles were as hot as a soldering iron, and wondered if he could bring it into reality.

"By the way, I will return the sword."

Zhong Sheng suddenly remembered that the sword in his hand was borrowed from the official.

Now that the monster monk has been killed and the dog official has been punished, and his merits have been fulfilled, it is time for the property to return to its original owner.

"Second uncle, wait a moment, I'll return something."

Zhong Kui shook his head, "Why is it so troublesome?"

He grabbed the long sword, and three glances of black energy came out of his wrist, winding around like a giant python. He lifted the long sword like a meteor chasing the moon, and threw it towards a corner of the city.

"Xiaosheng, I have also seen Gongsun's sword dance. How can I not recognize her long sword?"

"I can get out of trouble this time, thanks to her kindness in lending me the sword."

Zhong Kui’s move shocked Zhong Sheng.

It seems that the second uncle is a great man, but he is also a ghost in death. He has mastered all kinds of magic without any teacher.

Perhaps sensing Zhong Sheng's surprise, Zhong Kui pointed at the red robe and explained.

It turned out that although he was buried in this red dress, which brought constant torture, it also played a role in tempering him.

After coming out of the coffin, Zhong Kui emerged from his cocoon and was reborn. He started at the level of a ghost, and was not comparable to ordinary evil ghosts.

Nowadays, the red clothes cut into red robes are like a magic weapon on his body.

The red scarf with the horn is cut off from the red robe, and is a treasure that communicates yin and yang.

"Second uncle, I borrowed the sword, and I will repay her in the future."

Zhong Sheng patted his chest, and the group of people mixed in with the Nuo dance team and headed out of the city amidst the incense.

It's already late at night, but the atmosphere is getting more and more lively. This city-wide Nuo festival has reached its climax.

Many people in the procession burst into tears when they saw their dead relatives, but they did not dare to approach them with their hands out.

In the past few years, the world was uncertain, and countless people were displaced. They experienced military disasters, famine, and plagues, and not even one of them survived.

Nuo sacrifices are performed to appease the souls of the dead and drive away plague ghosts, as well as to appease the living.

Since ancient times, the people on this land have suffered from various natural and man-made disasters, and Nuo sacrifices are their sustenance and yearning for a better life.

"Xiaosheng, although I deeply hate Lord Tang's unfair treatment, I cannot kill him because of the peace of the world."

Zhong Sheng already knew that his second uncle was not a foolish and loyal person, and Li Yuan was a fatuous old man who would just kill him if he told him to.

But when the Tang Dynasty rose to prominence, it was most likely to unify the world.

Unbeknownst to others, Zhong Sheng carried the memory of future generations and knew that the city of Chang'an beneath his feet would begin hundreds of years of history.

In the future, careerists, ruthless officials, and demons will appear in turn, and blood will fill the air until the end.

"Second uncle, that old boy didn't end up well. Our family is full of loving father and filial son. Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful and full of smiles."

Zhong Kui frowned when he heard this. What did the young man say? He was full of sarcasm.

"Brother Zhong Kui, Brother Zhong Kui."

On both sides of the team, several scholars waved in this direction. They were panting and chased all the way.

"Second uncle, you are an acquaintance."

Zhong Kui stood up, walked closer, and held out his hands to several scholars, "Brother Nian, Zhong is already a ghost in the underworld and has no face to meet him."

"Brother Zhong Kui, the imperial examination is unfair. We are indignant, but we are powerless to save it."

"The officialdom is so dark that we will never go there again. We have decided to go back to our hometown and live in seclusion until the Holy Emperor comes to court and come out to assist."

Zhong Sheng chuckled at the side, "The Holy Emperor, I'm afraid he only appears in his dreams!"

The second uncle's classmates must also be frustrated people who failed the exam, and they share the same problem.

"Brother Cui, Brother Lu, this is my nephew. When we meet in the world in the future, I have to trouble you to take care of him."

Several scholars met Zhong Sheng and bowed politely.

Reluctantly, Zhong Kui said goodbye to his classmates and continued to lead them out of the city. Unexpectedly, something happened when he was approaching the door.

Two Nuo gods came quickly, pointed in the direction of Zhong Sheng and said something. Behind them, more black-robed men dressed as Nuo gods followed.

Oops, I didn’t do things cleanly from beginning to end, and now I’m getting revenge.

These Nuo gods are played by ghost exorcists, who descended through deity rituals. Although they appear to be flesh and blood, they contain divine power and can use it to ward off evil spirits and drive away plagues.

The stage of the Nuo sacrifice is set up for the arrival of hundreds of millions of Nuo gods.
