"Cripple Li, let's just wait here... Are you really okay?"
Under the scorching sun, two figures dressed in black were hiding in the shade of the trees. The one on the left with half his shoulder slumped is Li Li, and the one on the right is Qing She who is talking.
"The Master of the Hall has said that Junior Brother Bai Yi was affected by too much Yin Qi! This is the time when the Yang Qi is strong at noon, so as long as some of the Yin Qi can be neutralized, it should be able to ease a lot." The lame man Li scratched his head and said.
"Who did you listen to for this method? Is it reliable?" Qing She was upset by the heat waves.
"Brother Qingshe, didn't I go to Yangdu a few days ago? I learned all this from a fortune teller..." said the lame man Li.
"Fortune teller?" Qing She frowned, "Most of these guys are just pretentious and deceitful, and there are few who are truly talented and knowledgeable. Could it be that you have been deceived?"
"This..." Cripple Li scratched his head again, "Probably not. I just happened to be passing by at the time and didn't even say half a word, but this fortune teller stopped me and asked me if I was thinking about Yin and Yang. Troubles...you are truly a man of God!"
Qingshe had a headache: "You look like you are dressed up in a bad way, aren't you just worried about yin and yang things? What kind of god? In my opinion, you are obviously a magic stick!"
"That's true..." Hearing what Qing She said, Cripple Li suddenly felt guilty, "But I heard that the magic man... no, it was the magic stick who said it was serious. It shouldn't be like he was lying to me... Otherwise, Why didn't he ask for money from me? Alas, it's all my fault for listening to lies, I'll go call Junior Brother Bai Yi back!"
"Really?" Qing She's mind was already shaken, but after hearing this, he pulled the cripple Li back, "Anyway, we have no other way now, so let's give it a try..."
…
Although the job of the Yin Chai is to seduce souls and lead the way, they are still mortals after all. It is just because of the nature of their work that they cannot see the light, so each of them has a pale face, like a living ghost.
But they just couldn't see the light, but it wasn't that they couldn't see the light, so Qing She and the cripple Li Shao discussed it and accepted the fortune-telling "bad move" in order to prevent Bai Yi from acting weird again.
"Cripple Li, are you counting the time?" Although Qingshe was hiding under the shade of a tree, he was still out of breath from the hot wind. And that Bai Yi was completely exposed to the sun, which made him very worried, "I think replenishing Yang Qi should be done step by step, but you can't replenish too much in one go. That's it for today!"
"What Junior Brother said is absolutely true!" Cripple Li was already shaken. How could he be distracted from counting time? Hearing this, he hurriedly shouted to the figure on the stone slab in the distance: "Junior Brother Bai Yi, the time has come, we should go back!"
"..."
After the words fell, the two waited for a long time but did not receive any response.
"Oops! Something must have happened!" Qing She saw the figure on the stone slab without any reaction, and hurriedly covered it with a black scarf and rushed out into the sun.
Cripple Li looked panicked. After all, he was the one who came up with this bad idea. I saw him flying three feet away with one foot, and arrived in front of Bai Yi first.
"Junior Brother Bai Yi! Junior Brother Bai Yi! Are you okay...ah!" The cripple Li jumped onto the stone floor in a hurry, but before he could finish his words, he screamed.
"Cripple Li! What's going on? Is it Bai Yi?" Qing She's heart tightened and her body began to tremble when she heard this.
"Ouch! It's scalding me to death. It's scalding me to death! Why does this stone slab seem to be on fire?" Li, the lame man, rolled down from the stone slab and continued to scream.
"You two...is it time?" Just when Qingshe didn't know who to take care of, he saw Bai Yi sitting upright on the stone slab.
"Bo Yi, what happened to you just now? Why didn't you come back when we called you?" Qing She said angrily.
Bai Yi didn't notice anything unusual and replied casually: "I thought since I'm lying down anyway, I might as well take the opportunity to have a good rest. After all, I still have work to do in the evening... Why, didn't you two take a nap?"
"..."
Qingshe was speechless for a while, secretly thinking that Bai Yi was really big-hearted. But since he is fine, he can feel relieved: "Bo Yi, how do you feel?"
Bai Yi clenched his fists: "Although this is very rough, it really relieved my headache a lot, and I was able to sleep peacefully... Even if I stay in the sun for a whole day, it doesn't matter!" As he said this, Bai Yi was about to fall down again.
"Stop it!" Seeing this, Qing She hurriedly persuaded Bai Yi, "Replenishing Yang Qi cannot be done overnight. Let's stop here today!"
Bai Yi nodded, jumped down from the stone slab, and followed Qingshe away. And the cripple Li was obviously severely burned, and he did not feel much relieved until he encountered a water source on the road to cool down...
"Recently, monsters have been causing trouble frequently, and a lot of people have died. I hope that when you are leading the way, you can use persuasion first, and avoid any arrogant behavior!"
"As you command!"
In the Ghost Hall, Zhao Changsheng was explaining the latest tasks as usual, and when everyone agreed, he would send them away.
But he inadvertently raised his eyes and saw several figures standing in the distance. He also frowned slightly: "Bo Yi, Qing She, and the lame Li are staying with me! The rest of the gangsters should leave first!"
After the figures in the Ghost Hall dispersed, Zhao Changsheng waved and called a few people closer.
But when he took a closer look, Zhao Changsheng couldn't believe his eyes: "You guys...how did this happen?"
It's okay that the cripple Li was not good-looking at first. Qing She was a handsome guy when he first came to Guizhao Hall. How could he end up like this just because he didn't take care of him?
Especially for that game, the whole person was completely dark, almost blending in with the darkness in the Ghost Hall. If it weren't for the two eyes shining brightly under the green light, I might have been unable to catch his figure.
"Master...this incident happened because of me alone and has nothing to do with them..." Boyi said awkwardly, showing his white teeth.
This blackening, like replenishing yang energy, cannot be accomplished in one day. By the time Bai Yi and others noticed the changes in their bodies, it was already too late. But fortunately, they were always covered with black scarves when they came in and out, so no one noticed anything unusual. The only one who needed to worry was Zhao Changsheng... After all, their actions were against the rules of the Ghost Palace, and they were all done in secret.
So every time they came to report on their work, they hid behind the crowd. As soon as the crowd dispersed, they could leave first. Zhao Changsheng had been busy recently and had no time to pay attention to this matter. It was not until today that he noticed something unusual for the first time.
"Cripple Li! Tell me!" Before Bai Yi could finish speaking, Zhao Changsheng interrupted by slamming the table, and then looked at Cripple Li coldly.
The cripple Li naturally did not dare to hide it and hurriedly confessed the incident, but before his death, he still took the blame on himself.
Zhao Changsheng was angry and amused in his heart. He thought to himself that these guys could act independently when viewed separately. Why would they have such crooked thoughts when they get together?
"Stay in Qingshe, you two, please leave!" Zhao Changsheng shook his head, very helpless.
"Master of the Palace, the two junior brothers broke the rules because of my instigation. If you want to punish them, just punish the younger ones!" said the lame Li Kuitian, wiping his tears.
"You are an accomplice. If you want to be punished, of course you are indispensable. Get out!" Zhao Changsheng said angrily.
After the two left, Qingshe couldn't help but feel uneasy. The last time Zhao Changsheng was so serious was when he was admitted to the Ghost Hall.
"Forget what happened before. If you dare to eavesdrop again today, you will never leave again!" Zhao Changsheng shouted loudly, startling Qingshe who was thinking wildly.
Just when Qingshe was confused, he heard the sound of a foreign object falling to the ground outside the palace door, and then something rustled away.
"Do you still remember what I said before, even if you stay in the Ghost Hall, you won't be of any use?" Zhao Changsheng waited until the movement outside the door disappeared before continuing.
"Go back to Master, disciple, remember." Qing She didn't know why Zhao Changsheng wanted to bring up the old things again.
"Just remember..." Zhao Changsheng nodded, "Today is the moment when you and I, master and disciple, part ways!"
Qingshe's heart thumped when he heard this, and he knelt down with a plop: "Master...are you trying to drive me away? How did my disciple displease you?"
Zhao Changsheng sighed slightly, then lifted Qing She up with two fingers: "Don't get excited, just listen to what I have to say..."
Qing She bit her lip and looked nervous.
"What you have done these days, my master has seen. But after all, this Ghost Hall is a small temple and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you!"
Qingshe shook his head repeatedly: "If it hadn't been for Master's kind support and words of advice, Qingshe would never have achieved what it is today! So it's not because of the devil's fault, but because of Qingshe's humble status!"
"Hahaha... It's good that you have such thoughts, and my efforts are not in vain!" Zhao Changsheng showed a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time, and then continued: "But what I said is true. Your future strength will be far away. As a teacher, if you continue to stay here, it will really be a waste of your life!"
"But..." Qingshe was still a little unwilling.
"There's nothing good about it... In fact, this matter has been delayed for a long time. The reason why I didn't say anything was just waiting for an opportunity to come! Now that the opportunity has come, I will send you away now!" Zhao Changsheng said.
"I won't agree!" Qing She frowned, "I will never leave under any circumstances!"
"This matter is a decision made for the teacher. It is not up to you whether to leave or not!"
After saying this, Zhao Changsheng grinned, and Qingshe felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw that his chest had been shrouded in a black mist, and his vitality was quickly disappearing.
"Master, you..." Qingshe's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Zhao Changsheng would actually kill him.
But before he could be shocked for too long, he saw Zhao Changsheng swinging the small flag in his hand forward and muttering: "Go to the soul!"
Qingshe felt his body light up and saw a figure in front of him. It was undoubtedly him.
Then, he saw Zhao Changsheng pour the booklet from the bamboo tube to the ground, and then continued to speak to his figure: "Come here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his figure being tightly entangled by the black mist, and then also turned into a black mist, and was sucked into the bamboo tube.
After finishing all this, Zhao Changsheng looked at him with a smile.
"Now that you are dead, there is no way to stay in the mortal world. How about fulfilling your wish to become a master and go to the ghost world to become the master of the palace?"
