Hearing the word "Ghost King", the female ghost Sakura on the side shuddered obviously, and the previously cool grandma also looked solemn: "The Ghost King is the king of all ghosts. All ghosts who have not entered the underworld but are stranded in the world must listen.
He gives orders and possesses extremely powerful abilities, and no one dares to disobey him."
He paused and glanced at Zu An: "Your cultivation level is very high, but you are far from the opponent of the Ghost King."
Qiu Honglei looked at Zu An, with a hint of worry in her eyes. If there was such a powerful existence in this world, it would be too dangerous.
Zu An was calm. He had experienced strong winds and waves, so he was not afraid of a ghost king.
"There are many ghosts in this world?" Zu An asked curiously.
The beautiful woman paused for a while and then said: "Wars have been going on for years and people are cruel and ignorant, so demons and ghosts are rampant."
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but look at her curiously: "Are you a ghost too?"
"I'm a demon, not a ghost!" the beautiful woman said angrily. The way the woman tried to torture her just now was too vicious, so she didn't feel good about it.
she.
"What's the difference between a demon and a ghost?" Weisuo asked curiously while subconsciously touching his skin.
"Have you finished yet? Are you a problem baby?" The beautiful woman was a little impatient, but she still replied, "The demon is born from the essence of heaven and earth. Everything in the world can become a demon, but becoming a demon is not easy; in addition, there are
Some demons are relatively evil and cannot absorb the essence of heaven and earth for cultivation, so they instead absorb human essence and blood. Their cultivation level often improves very quickly, but in the end they will be enslaved by murderous intent and completely become killing monsters."
Everyone couldn't help but glance at her. This woman had an elegant temperament and even had a refreshing fragrance. She was obviously not the kind of monster that sucks human blood.
Zu An thought about how the demons she mentioned seemed to be those cultivated into spirits from flowers, trees, birds, and beasts. They seemed to be different concepts from the demons in his own world.
At this time, the beautiful woman continued: "As for ghosts, they are usually the result of strong obsessions after death. The ghosts of people who die normally will enter the underworld and be reincarnated after six reincarnations, but some people die abnormally, or when they die
There are all kinds of unfulfilled wishes and strong obsessions that allow them to stay in this world.
Among all obsessions, resentment is the strongest, so most ghosts can be called resentful spirits, fierce ghosts, and they instinctively harm people."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Sakura aside.
Sakura's face turned red when they saw her, and she instinctively hid behind the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman snorted and explained: "She is a relatively rare kind-hearted ghost, not one of those evil ghosts and resentful spirits."
Zu An asked curiously: "Xiaoying, what is your obsession?"
From what I just said, it is obvious that one must have an extremely strong obsession to become a ghost.
Sakura's eyes turned red: "I want to go home
, to see my parents for the last time.”
The beautiful woman added: "She has always been filial, but unfortunately she died in a foreign land due to an accident..."
Then he briefly told her origins.
Everyone was extremely sad when they heard this. They didn't expect her to be so pitiful.
Qiu Honglei asked curiously: "Then why don't you go home? Is it possible that you were detained here by someone?"
Hearing the meaning of her words, the beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Sakura waved her hands hurriedly: "That's not the case. Grandma is actually protecting me. This world is full of all kinds of evil ghosts and monsters. Those ghosts will devour other ghosts and strengthen themselves. I am so weak. If I leave grandma's protection, I will only be attacked by those terrible monsters."
Being eaten."
"Then since you are so good to her, why don't you give her a ride?" Because of the conflict just now, Qiu Honglei instinctively disliked this beautiful woman.
"Because I can't leave this place." The beautiful woman said calmly.
"Why?" Everyone was a little curious.
Although she didn't know whether she was a tree demon or a vine demon, with the strength she showed, she wouldn't be fixed by the characteristics of trees.
The beautiful woman did not answer, but hesitated a little. After a while, she looked at Zu An: "Human, I will make a deal with you."
Qiu Honglei stood in front of Zu An warily: "Why do you only do it with him and not with us?"
The beautiful woman said calmly: "Because I can't trust you, the character he just showed makes me think I can take the risk and give it a try."
Zu An patted Qiu Honglei and told her not to worry: "What deal?"
"I'll help you find those companions you just mentioned, and you can do something for me." The beautiful woman looked closely at Zu An, with an unprecedented look of expectation in her eyes.
Zu An did not agree, but questioned: "But you just said you have never seen my companions, how did you find them?"
"I am a monster transformed from an ivy. I am naturally close to flowers, plants and trees. There are flowers, plants and trees everywhere in the world. I can ask them to help me search for them, and I will definitely find them." The beautiful woman paused and added, "
But this will cost me a lot, so I need you to do something for me."
Zu An felt a movement in his heart. This world didn't seem too small. His eyes darkened and he tried to look for the other people, but he might not be able to find them.
If something unexpected happened and someone was left out, causing them to stay in this world forever and not be able to get out, they would really regret it for the rest of their lives.
It seems to be much easier if this vine demon helps.
So he asked: "What exactly?"
The beautiful woman slowly replied: "Because of a chance, I was enlightened by someone and became wise. I was also named Jingteng, so I was naturally close to humans..."
"
Later, I fell in love with a human man. Everything was perfect at first, but unfortunately everything changed when he learned about my identity as a demon. He became afraid of me, alienated me, and later even teamed up with my enemies to murder me on the wedding day.
.”
Speaking of this, her brows were filled with coldness.
Zu An and others looked at each other. They didn't expect that she would have such a past, being betrayed by the one she loved. No wonder she no longer believed in humans before.
Qiu Honglei sympathized with her, and her opinion of her improved slightly.
"Now that you are dead, what is going on now?" Zu An asked curiously.
The beautiful woman replied: "Although I didn't believe that he would harm me, I remembered that the person who enlightened me in the past said that I would suffer a great disaster, so just in case, I separated a seed and buried it nearby.
Later, my body died, triggering this physical restriction, and I was reborn."
Zu An was extremely surprised when he heard this, thinking that the methods of these monsters were really weird, how could they be reborn in this way even after they died?
The beautiful woman continued: "It's a pity that I lost most of my strength after my rebirth. Now I am extremely weak. Only by finding the fusion of my body can I regain the strength I had at my peak."
"But I just told you that people in this world are unpredictable and demons are rampant. I can still protect myself here with the help of some special restrictions left in the past, but once I leave here, I will be coveted by many demons, and they are eager to devour me.
The power, so for so many years, I didn’t dare to leave here to find my own identity.”
She paused and continued to look at him: "So what I ask of you is that you take me to find my original body. With your cultivation, I believe that as long as we are careful, there should be hope that you can protect me.
Safety."
Zu An was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "What you just said about mobilizing the flowers, plants and trees in the world to help me find someone, I'm afraid you have to fuse the power of your own body to do it, right?"
"That's right," the beautiful woman nodded, "With my current ability, I really can't do that step."
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but snorted: "You are very calculating. If we want to find someone, we must help you find the true body."
The beautiful woman smiled slightly: "This is a win-win situation, isn't it?"
Zu An said in a deep voice: "This is not fair. We can find other ways to find people. We may not need to rely on you, but you must rely on us."
The beautiful woman shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid you don't understand that this world is bigger than you think. If you search aimlessly, it will be difficult to find everyone. But as long as I regain my strength, I will definitely be able to help you.
Find someone.”
"Absolutely?" Zu An was stunned.
"Yes, definitely!" There was an inexplicable sense of confidence in the beautiful woman's tone, and at the same time there was a hint of unpredictability on her face, "And if you help me, you may have unexpected gains in the future."
