Chapter 122: Ghosts (VIII)

An Cui's residence has had many visitors recently, and her friend list has added quite a few people, mainly because of the masters who came to visit before. They were the ones who were seriously injured after their spiritual power was exhausted in the Black Orchid Mountain incident.

After they found out that the people of the Xuanling Sect had rejected such a genius for their own selfish reasons, they immediately came to apologize and invited An Cui to join the Tianshi Association. The Xuan Academy under their name was also willing to accept her as a student and teach her how to draw talismans and form formations.

But An Cui refused. The Heavenly Master Association was a mixed bag now, and she would be supervised after joining. She didn't need their Heavenly Master certification, and she wasn't interested in those spells and formations, so why join?

Although they refused, An Cui still respected these righteous people who truly served the country and the people, so she gave them a few bottles of spiritual wine before they left.

When they were about to give it to them, several masters politely said no. They were not polite, they really didn't want it. How should I put it? They were all in the same industry, all masters, and all famous masters. Isn't it the same as giving them the talismans she drew herself? It was a bit embarrassing. They didn't believe the reviews on the Internet either. They just thought that it was probably because outsiders didn't understand it. Although it might be useful, it wasn't that exaggerated.

As a result, when he brought the wine back, he took a small sip, immediately jumped up from his seat, quickly called the younger generation in his family, and asked them to place the order online.

"??? Are different industries jealous of each other, Grandpa? We have to contribute to her sales?"

"Stop talking nonsense, buy some quickly, buy a few more bottles! Can the courier deliver it tomorrow?"

"How is that possible, Grandpa? In just one month, the sales volume has already ranked in the top ten of the Tianshi store rankings. If we place an order now, it will take at least two months for it to be delivered to us. You look so painful, why don't you just not buy it?"

"Pah, am I sorry for spending this little money? I am sorry for the spiritual power of this bottle of wine!"

After the government officially certified it as effective and safe, the sales of spiritual wine skyrocketed. Buyers who paid had to wait in line for a long time. Every day, countless people showed off their spiritual wine online, and countless people were wailing about when their wine would be shipped. The worst thing was that you couldn't stock up a lot of spiritual wine at once, because the longer you store it, the more spiritual power you lose. You had to drink it up within ten days, so people could only drink it up before buying more, and fell into a dead cycle of waiting for delivery or waiting for a quick delivery every day, which was painful and happy.

If it weren't for the fact that the talismans were cheap and had a small profit margin but a large turnover compared to An Cui's wine, An Cui's store would have been among the top five in sales.

After that, several masters often "passed by" An Cui's house, came to say hello, drank two cups of tea before leaving, and shamelessly asked for wine, asking her how she cultivated her spiritual power, why it was so strong, and why it recovered so quickly. When this question was asked, the other masters wanted to know, but they were also a little embarrassed. Because they had asked Pu Hongti before, Pu Hongti was very arrogant and didn't want to say anything if she didn't want to, and she would also sneer at them. What if An Cui did the same, wouldn't they lose face?

Fortunately, An Cui was not stingy. She talked and discussed with several masters. Her clear organization and unique insights quickly conquered them. Not only did they add each other on WeChat, but she was also pulled into their internal small group, which was full of nationally famous masters and juniors they recognized. After An Cui entered, she sent out several red envelopes. A group of middle-aged and elderly people were very happy to grab them. It was very lively. After learning that An Cui gave herself the name "Zhu Qing" because she thought the color was green, they started calling her "Cui Cui Cui".

There seemed to be a subtle connection between the characters in the copy and reality. Every time An Cui heard them call her like that, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

Of course, Pu Hongti knew all this, and she just said with a disdainful tone: "You are really good at pleasing people."

Having said that, she was naturally still filled with unhappiness in her heart. After all, when she thought about the fact that the masters' attitudes towards her were completely opposite to their attitudes towards An Cui, she felt as if she was being looked down upon.

She couldn't wait to prove to them that she was much better than An Cui, and the opportunity soon presented itself.

After a heavy rain, a famous emperor's tomb in Yunlong District cracked open with a deafening sound. The owner of this tomb was the most famous tyrant in history. Before he died, he ignored the stability of the country and buried tens of thousands of soldiers alive, just to become a king and rule others after his death. Because he was too violent, people were worried that he would really become an evil ghost and bring disaster to the world. After his death, a master came to set up a formation to trap him in the tomb.

People have always thought that this is just a legend until the existence of ghosts was confirmed more than a hundred years ago. After the establishment of the Tianshi Association, people were immediately sent here to guard it, but the tomb still cracked. In addition to tens of thousands of undead soldiers who have practiced for thousands of years and a thousand-year-old ghost king, many huge insects mutated due to the yin energy poured out of this emperor's tomb. According to the pictures taken by satellites, a large number of huge insects can be seen crawling out of the cracks, which makes people's scalps numb.

Wherever they passed, all the grass withered. The large talismans posted outside the cemetery fence temporarily stopped the undead army but failed to stop these half-alive and half-dead creatures. They swarmed towards the nearest village like a group of marching ants.

This is a major disaster. All capable people in the Tianshi Association are mobilized and rush to Yunlong District from all directions.

...

Luo Chenyu headed towards the small town where his young life ended. The pain of his soul and body being torn apart was still there, but his intense hatred made his eyes bloodshot and he ignored the pain.

On the way, he encountered many dirty things growing in dark corners, including evil gods that were forming in the malice of humans, vengeful spirits, and little ghosts. He ate them all. Of course, he wanted to eat them, and they also tried to eat him. The two sides kept playing games, accompanied by countless pains and the pleasure of successful swallowing. In the end, Luo Chenyu became the winner. The pain gradually subsided, and he became stronger and stronger.

In the night, the feeling of fullness after swallowing another ghost made him twist his neck slightly, and his empty body seemed to become more solid. A girl wearing ghost-seeing glasses stood across the street, staring at him in a trance.

She knew she had seen a ghost, but how could this ghost be so good-looking? Even the ghost's pale skin and cold temperament, even his gloomy and numb eyes, could not detract from his beauty. The black nails and equally black lips only made him look more weird...

Suddenly, the evil spirit noticed that she could see him, and turned to look at him. The girl's heart suddenly rose, and she saw him walking towards her step by step and stopped in front of her. His gloomy eyes were dark and stared at her, and his voice was gentle and a little grim, "Do you know how to get to the Chen family? The Chen family of the murderer Chen."

The girl nodded nervously and fearfully, clutched the hot amulet in her pocket, and spoke the address tremblingly.

Luo Chenyu turned and walked in the direction she said, but after taking only two steps, he turned his head and looked at her grimly, "Are ghosts scary to people?"

The girl stood there in a daze, watching Luo Chenyu's back disappear from her sight. After a while, she quickly took out her phone to call the police. It is the responsibility of all citizens to call the police when they see a ghost. After all, those who are not of the same race must have different hearts. Ghosts are no longer human. However, she had just pressed two numbers when she suddenly remembered something. She opened the search engine and searched for the vicious murder that happened in this small town more than half a year ago. When she saw the photo of the victim posted there, she took a breath and covered her mouth.

She didn't call the police. She thought that if he wanted to take revenge, it was his right, and those people deserved it. After the verdict came down, the four demons were imprisoned. Except for the poorer Chen couple, the other three families had moved to other places. He came back to seek revenge on them.

Luo Chenyu came to the location of the Chen family. The moment this old two-story building that he built came into view, his pupils turned scarlet. There were many talismans posted on the door, densely packed, enough to show their fear of ghosts and gods, so why did they indulge their son to do that?

He ignored the burning sensation the talisman caused on his body and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The door opened, and a middle-aged woman looked at the empty door. Suddenly, she felt a gust of cold wind passing by her. She shivered violently and quickly closed the door.

"Who is it?" asked the middle-aged man.

"I don't know, no one is here." The middle-aged woman walked over to him and sat down beside him a little uneasily, feeling a chill on her back.

"Look at that guy on TV, he looks like..."

Luo Chenyu was standing behind them.

He remembered that he was tied up in the basement, and the couple had come down carefully, opened the door, and looked at him in panic. He begged them to let him go.

"What if he calls the police after he gets out? He was beaten like this and locked up for a few days. He will definitely take revenge on us."

"If I let him go, what if my son gets angry?"

"... Wait until my son comes back and tell him to release the man..."

They had this conversation, closed the door, and left.

Compared with their son, their sins were no less than his. His eyes turned completely bloodshot.

Soon after, the smell of blood filled the living room. The couple lay on the ground with their eyes wide open. Their stomachs were cut open and their intestines were spilling out. The scarlet blood was all over the ground. But this was not enough. Their souls were pulled out. He refused to eat them because they were dirty. Instead, he tore them into pieces.

After killing the two, another memory came to him. He vaguely felt that before he was about to die, he rushed towards the demons and cut them all down. After a long month of torture, he finally waited for someone to save him, but it was too late. It shouldn't have been too late if she hadn't pretended not to see him and left like her parents did when she came down to see him for the first time...

The eyes that had turned dark turned scarlet again.

There should be a third person in this room.

He turned around and went upstairs, but did not find the woman. It was not until he went downstairs that he suddenly saw the TV screen playing.

This is a live broadcast about the disaster caused by the cracks in the emperor's tomb in Yunlong District.

The army opened a cordon, and gunshots rang out continuously, in order to stop the insects within a boundary. There were too many insects, and there was no end in sight. These insects were not the focus, because they could still be killed with guns. The focus was on the evil ghost army and ghost kings who were still trapped in the cemetery, but would soon emerge. If they came out and scattered all over the country, it would be terrible.

However, the Heavenly Masters on this side were also trapped by these insects. Because of the chaotic radio waves over the entire area, they could not use helicopters to send the Heavenly Masters to the tomb area inside. The Heavenly Masters gathered together and used talismans to force them away and walked directly in. However, there were too many insects, covering a distance of one kilometer. They also had to save their spiritual power to deal with the evil ghost army and ghost king inside and ended up standing in a dilemma in the sea of ​​insects.

At this time, he saw a woman appear in the picture. She appeared from behind the army. In the gloomy night, her presence was extremely conspicuous and caught the photographer's attention at once. She was wearing a spotless, gorgeous, and holy witch costume, and exuded a hazy and holy light. Unlike the countless heavenly masters who were blocked by corpse worms on the periphery and kept using talismans to blow them up, she raised her foot and walked in.

The insects on the ground moved away as if they were facing a great enemy before her foot landed as if they were afraid of being swept by her skirt. She walked forward step by step, and the insects quickly made way for her like Moses parting the sea. Where she walked, the insects dared not approach her again. She opened a path for the heavenly masters behind her. The heavenly masters immediately followed.

The TV station staff stood in a safe area and used a special lens to capture this scene. Everyone in front of the TV could see this incredible scene. But there were two people in the picture. Another girl was wearing a Taoist costume and walked in without fear of the bugs. The bugs also made way for her. But after she passed, the bugs closed the way behind her. She seemed to have a little light on her body, but compared to An Cui, it was dim.

Pu Hongti felt more embarrassed than ever before. She had just waited for An Cui to come in with her with full confidence. She had never expected this to happen. She had always been so sure that as the heroine, she must have the thickest golden finger. Her spiritual power must not be inferior to An Cui's. With the addition of spells and formations, it was natural that she was stronger than An Cui. But reality slapped her hard. An Cui's spiritual power was deeper and purer than hers. She didn't understand why this happened. She had been wasting her spiritual power making wine. She was the heroine!

However, Pu Hongti forgot that the heroine in the original novel had been practicing hard to become a real boss after waking up. The golden finger only allows your efforts to be rewarded to the greatest extent, rather than winning directly. And An Cui is practicing spiritual power every day, studying all the time how to make the spiritual power cycle recover faster and expand the spiritual sea deeper and wider. She is always making progress.

Red grapes are like the hare in the tortoise and the hare race. They won at the starting line, but because of their arrogance, they were caught up by their competitors.

Now she thought that no matter whether it was her live broadcast room or An Cui's, all the viewers could see the contrast between them. She felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about what might be said in the barrage, but she couldn't just turn around and leave, otherwise, it would seem that she was running away, which would make her even inferior to An Cui.

It doesn't matter. Pu Hongti gritted her teeth and endured it, looking at the cemetery full of evil spirits in front of her. Since she couldn't retreat, she would fight forward. Now the only way for her to save face was to take off the head of the Ghost King!

Thinking of this, Puhongti stopped walking and ran towards the cemetery.

An Cui glanced at her and ignored her.

At this time, one of the talismans on the outer perimeter of the tomb area was burned. This made all the heavenly masters who saw it raise their hearts high, and they hurriedly shouted in a trembling voice: "Cuicui!"

"My friend!"

An Cui looked calm. She reached out calmly and pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind her, then drew the bow and aimed at the gap where the talisman was missing.

The arrow emitted a faint light, flew away, and hit the gap accurately. The spiritual power spread along the fence like an electric current, not only making the ghosts who tried to get out retreat in panic but also recharging some spiritual power in many of the surrounding talismans, causing their weakened power to return to its original state.

An Cui could certainly kill many ghosts with one arrow, but tens of thousands were too many for her to purify of them at once, and there was also a thousand-year-old ghost king to deal with. In the original novel, many people died in this battle, and the heroine was seriously injured, and in the end, the ghost king escaped. After the heroine subdued Luo Chenyu's ghost king, the two ghost kings fought each other, and in the en,d Luo Chenyu killed him in a way that both died, earning a lot of tears from readers.

But An Cui was a person who liked to finish today's work, so she wanted to kill him today.
