Chapter 58: Good things come true, Zhong Kui is crowned

 "It's strange!"

The old housekeeper shook his head as he walked, "Why did you feel tired just now and everyone fell asleep?"

After he was woken up, he was very upset and almost delayed the important event.

Du Ping was also curious. He remembered that when he dozed off, he dreamed that the streets in the city were deserted, filled with white lanterns, and white...

My memories are stuck at this point, and even the various weird things I encountered outside the city have become blurry.

The only vivid memory I have is that I encountered a gangster blocking my way outside the forest, but was killed by Zhong Sheng.

He was filled with doubts, but the sound of horse hooves reminded him that his house was just ahead

Red lanterns illuminated the street, wine filled the street, and the door of the house at the end was open, with guests standing on both sides.

"Welcoming newcomers!

Zhong Sheng watched Du Ping and his sister-in-law enter the house, and then the three bows came.

Grandma Zhong, as the chief minister, is dressed in festive red clothes, sitting upright with a smile, and accepts the kneeling of the newlyweds.

He looked up suddenly and saw Zhong Kui looking at the newcomers with a smile in the crowd.

Everyone knows that the second uncle is dead. If he rashly appears in front of everyone, a red incident will become a white matter on the spot, and the level of horror will be completely high.

Therefore, he hid among the guests and watched his little sister get married.

Zhong Sheng could clearly see that there was a tear in the corner of the eyes of this tough guy, his second uncle.

Yin and Yang are separated, and my sister cannot show up when she gets married, so I have to watch as a bystander.

"Sent to the bridal chamber."

……

After midnight, all the noise passed.

Zhong Sheng sat on the roof, looking at the moon melancholy, it was over.

Since his rebirth, he has been in a state of tension to save his second uncle, make a fuss about Nuo sacrifices, and later protect his sister-in-law when she gets married.

Everything has fallen into place safely, but he has no goal, and his heart is empty for a while.

In terms of longevity, he has more than 1,400 years, which he can squander at will.

In terms of strength, ghost soldiers and generals are no match, and they can even fight the Ghost King once or twice.

The real money and silver he got from selling the orbs was enough for him to squander for a while.

As if overnight, there was no direction to strive for.

"What are you drinking? Let me have a taste!"

On the ridge of the roof, the figure of the second uncle Zhong Kui was stretched out in the moonlight.

"The jar of wedding wine that came down below is not monkey wine."

Zhong Kui took the wine jar and took a swig, "My little sister's wedding wine, there is no wine in the world that can compare with it."

He just met Du Ping and his wife and explained the affairs at home.

After the younger sister got married, Grandma Zhong became a high-ranking official, and Du Ping took care of her.

"Xiaosheng, as for you, good men should be everywhere."

"I will move out in a few days and travel around the world to gain more knowledge."

"When I was young, I did a lot of ridiculous things and met all kinds of good and bad people."

"Through mountains and rivers, we meet strangers, but it is rare to find a close friend in the world."

Zhong Sheng nodded, "I have already thought about it and will leave tomorrow."

"By the way, second uncle, what are your plans for the future?

Zhong Kui has just conquered the power of the Wild Ghost King. It will take a long time to digest and pacify it and pacify the underworld in Guanzhong.

Tonight is the night when my sister-in-law is getting married, and it is also the day when the second uncle Zhong Kui is crowned the Ghost King.

The glory of Zhong Kui's life culminates tonight.

"I just came back from outside the city. I picked up a group of Luoyang ghost soldiers and got some news."

Zhong Kui said subconsciously, "The King of Qin led a group of generals to besiege Luoyang, but the battle passed by and the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties."

Zhong Sheng thought for a while, this year is the fourth year of Wude, and it is also the most critical year for the Tang Dynasty to unify the world.

If there is no deviation from history, Dou Jiande of Hebei and Wang Shichong of Henan were both captured this year.

However, what Zhong Kui mentioned next was a secret.

"The Ghost King of Luoyang sent a team of elite ghost soldiers to help the Ghost King due to old friendship."

"The ghost soldiers of Luoyang are crazy and bloodthirsty. They only know how to kill and will not stop until they die."

"Later on my interrogation, I discovered that the origin of these ghost soldiers was the death of the soldiers of King Garuda, a giant bandit in Luoyang City."

"Do you know what they call out?"

Zhong Sheng shook his head and expressed his ignorance. The title King Garuda seemed to be related to Buddhism.

"Eating one person will increase the strength of one person; eating ten people will increase the strength of ten people."

When Zhong Sheng heard this sentence, the hair on his back stood up. Cannibalism?

"That's right, King Garuda's beast army used human flesh as food for their army. Everyone knows their bad deeds. They also practice black magic in private and rely on cannibalism to increase their strength."

In troubled times, the army is the biggest source of trouble. Massacres, looting, killings and rapes are commonplace, and even cannibalism is common.

But at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was only such a team, which was famous for cannibalism.

King Garuda, originally a warlord, claimed to be the reincarnation of King Garuda and wanted to make contributions in troubled times.

He was cruel by nature, and when he saw commodity prices boiling and food prices soaring, he took innocent people into military camps, cut their bones and cut their flesh, and used them as military rations.

How arrogant is this guy? The leader of the Tang Dynasty came forward to recruit him, but he killed the envoy.

The envoy is certainly pitiful, but it is really disgraceful for the Tang State to recruit the cannibal demon king regardless of public criticism.

It can be seen that under the glorious history of Destiny returning to the Tang Dynasty, there is also a lot of sordidness hidden in it.

King Jialuluo fought several battles in Li Tang and was desperate, so he finally took refuge with Wang Shichong, who is now in Luoyang City.

"The underworld in Henan is in constant turmoil. If I have the chance, I would like to go and take a look."

Zhong Kui said seriously, "I, Zhong Kui, not only have to control evil spirits, but also evil people."

"Beasts that eat humans and abandon human relations are no longer human beings."

Zhong Sheng became interested and said, "Second uncle, count me in."

"Your first priority right now is to get a wife and have children, so as to give birth to future generations for the Zhong family."

Well, my second uncle has already arranged tasks for Zhong Sheng for the next ten or even twenty years.

Zhong Sheng held his breath and said nothing, drinking heavily.

Under the moonlight, the uncle and nephew talked more and more late, until the Jade Rabbit disappeared among the clouds.

"Nephew, I see you have learned a few spells. I must tell you that magical powers cannot be manifested in the world. Do not use them in front of others easily, otherwise you will suffer backlash."

"Huh?"

……

On the side of Mount Tai, there is a mountain called Haoli, which is the place where ghosts are cured in the world.

The water of Naihe River flows from the left side of Haoli Mountain, flowing continuously day and night through the world of Yang and the underworld.

According to legend, the entrance to the ghost kingdom is in the mountain shade, and whenever day and night intersect, it appears in the human world.

Haoli Ghost Country, attached to Haoli Mountain, has existed since ancient times.

This is the residence of the world-famous Lord Taishan Mansion, and it is also his official residence to control all the ghosts in the world.

"Pap tap tap."

The sound of footsteps sounded, and a ghostly servant was walking quickly with his waist hunched over, holding a book in his hand.

"There are changes in the direction of Guanzhong."

"Send it up."

Plain white screens are erected on all sides of the main hall.

On the plain white screen, there are lists of ‘Aristocratic Families’, ‘Royal Houses of Past Dynasties’, ‘Monks, Taoist and Wutan’, ‘Common People of Guizhou’, etc.

Behind the overlapping screens, Mr. Taishan Mansion pillowed on the cloud bed, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

"Master Fu, there are big changes in the underworld in Guanzhong?"

"What's the matter?"

"The Wild Ghost King was killed by a ghost named Zhong Kui and occupied the throne."

Lord Taishan waved his hand, "I know, let's go!"

When the clerk left, the Lord of Taishan Palace sighed, "Fighting for supremacy in the grass is not a big deal no matter in the underworld or in the world?"

He pulled out a screen with the inscription 'People of the Head of Guizhou' written on it and touched it with his fingertips.

The Guanzhong area lights up, and the name of the Wild Ghost King fades away, replaced by the word Zhong Kui.

In the adjacent area, the area representing Luoyang is full of ink, and the words "Aristocratic families", "Royal families of all dynasties", "Monks, Taoists, Wutan" and "People in the head of Guizhou" are all generous and bright, with a momentum like fire and tea.

"The dynasty is determined and the luck is determined. This is what matters."
