"Brother Li, lame man, please..."
"Brother Song Qing, please first..."
Because Song Qing was brought by Yin Shuai, the cripple Li was concerned about his identity and did not dare to neglect him. As for Song Qing, who was ordered by King Yishan to come and do things, of course he didn't dare to cause trouble in front of the Ghost Hall, so he was also cautious.
Therefore, although the two people walking on the road seem to be walking side by side, they always have to give each other a few words of humility at every fork in the road, which makes people laugh and cry.
"Brother Song Qing, the first destination is not far ahead. You will have to work hard later..."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. We are all on the same path and should help each other..." The blue-faced ghost hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile after hearing this.
On the way, the blue-faced ghost discovered that the lame ghost beside him was indeed dragging a lame leg as his name suggests. What made him even more surprised was that although this man didn't seem to have "quick" legs and feet, he was very paradoxically going very fast. Even he had to speed up a few minutes to barely keep up, which was a bit surprising...
Just as he was thinking this, Cripple Li finally stopped and said to the blue-faced ghost: "Brother Song Qing, we are here."
Wherever there are souls remaining, there will be a strange atmosphere, especially the blue-faced ghost, who is a ghost himself, and is even more sensitive to this feeling. But after observing it carefully for a long time, it couldn't see any difference here, and it was also a little confused.
However, seeing that the cripple Li had jumped out first, he didn't rush to ask questions. He thought it was the Ghost Hall and the others who had any way to hide these remnants.
Sure enough, the cripple Li came behind a tree and pulled up an inconspicuous flag, and then heard a wailing sound that shook the earth and the earth.
Seeing the remnants appearing, Song Qing did not dare to delay, and hurriedly used his ability to arrange them in piles...
During his lifetime, the blue-faced ghost suffered a lot from studying these things, but unfortunately he did nothing until his death. He never thought that one day this kind of knowledge would be useful after death, and he felt mixed emotions for a while.
"Brother Li, the cripple...has been completed." This classification of the remaining souls was not difficult for him. With just a simple glance, he knew that the remaining souls belonged to one body.
Seeing Song Qing flicking around piles of indistinguishable remains, Li was stunned, but before he could recover, he heard that the work here was over. .
"Done? So fast? Brother Song Qing, you really don't show your true face. You can't distinguish these things..."
As the saying goes, don't be suspicious of the people you employ. Since Zhao Changsheng had already made it clear to him, the cripple Li didn't have the slightest doubt that the man in front of him would be perfunctory. He was just too shocked.
"Ahem... okay, okay..." As a blue-faced ghost, Song Qing was praised by King Yishan just because he followed orders. Now that he was being appreciated for his knowledge for the first time, his mentality began to undergo some subtle changes.
"I didn't expect things to progress so quickly..." Li Lian, the lame man, said to the blue-faced ghost: "Brother Song Qing, please wait a moment and let me insert the Hidden Soul Flag. Let's go to the next place immediately. …”
The blue-faced ghost squinted at the so-called Hidden Soul Flag, then nodded slowly...
Because the next location was not far away, and the lame Li and his two men quickened their pace, they did not waste too much time on the road. It's just that the next journey is not close, and it's too late to go to the next place.
"Brother Song Qing, it's inconvenient for you to travel during the day, how about we take a rest here today?" After looking at the sky and calculating the time, the blue-faced ghost asked Song Qing for instructions.
"Everything is decided by Brother Li, the lame man." Of course, Song Qing would not interfere in what to do. It had been thinking about how to get out of the sight of the cripple Li to inquire about the news. After all, King Yishan still had orders from him.
"Brother Cripple Li, the Hidden Soul Flag..." After finishing what he was doing, seeing Cripple Li still looking from a distance, the blue-faced ghost hurriedly reminded him.
"Okay!" Hearing this, the cripple Li hurriedly came closer and stared at the Hidden Soul Flag while complaining: "There have been many tragic events in the mortal world recently. If I hadn't used the Hidden Soul Flag to bind and hide these remnants, even if they were Even if it doesn’t cause trouble, it will be wiped out... Palace Master, since you know that Junior Brother is not here, why don’t you send more people..."
Listening to what Cripple Li was talking about, the blue-faced ghost could only smile politely, and then echoed and comforted him: "It's not easy to gather souls. It's really hard, Brother Lame Li..."
"Oh, that's right..." After nailing the Hidden Soul Flag, Lame Li pointed in the distance, "Brother Song Qing, there is a charity village not far ahead. Can you please follow me to take shelter there? "
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
With that said, the two of them walked forward in humility to each other...
Although there is still a lot of time before dawn, the cripple Li is too tired and has been disturbed during the day. Now he finally has some free time. He snored as soon as he leaned down.
Song Qing tried calling a few times, but when he saw that the cripple Li didn't respond, he clasped his hands and thought about countermeasures. If he could do some tricks on the Hidden Soul Flag so that the cripple Li couldn't get away, wouldn't he have a lot of time for him to go out and investigate?
Thinking of this, Song Qing turned around and glanced at Cripple Li, then followed the half-broken door of Yizhuang and escaped into the night!
"Sneeze!" Although the cripple Li was a sinister person, he still had a raw body constitution. A sudden gust of cool wind directly woke him up from his sweet dream. He looked around vigilantly, but did not see any human figures. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then shrank back.
"Brother Song Qing!" But just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly realized something was wrong and jumped up, "Oops, where did Brother Song Qing go?"
When the cripple Li saw no one around him, he hurriedly jumped out the door, only to see Song Qing staring at the moonlight at the gate of Yizhuang in a daze.
"Ouch! Brother Song Qing, why did you come out?" The cripple Li breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
The blue-faced ghost nodded towards Cripple Li, and then sighed slightly: "The world has changed, but the moonlight is still as thin and cool as ever..."
"Uh..." Cripple Li didn't know what Song Qing was feeling for no reason. He didn't know how to reply for a moment, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Just now, the blue-faced ghost planned to do some tricks on the Hidden Soul Flag, but found that although the Hidden Soul Flag was right in front of him, he couldn't touch it when he stretched out his hand. It was like fishing for the moon in the water...
It tried several times to no avail, and in the end it was filled with despair. It felt that the air around it was dyed miserable by the moonlight, just like the scene before its death.
At present, it is no longer feasible to manipulate the Hidden Soul Flag, and the blue-faced ghost can no longer think of any way to escape. Especially as the night is about to fade away, it's too late to leave. Today, I can only stay here temporarily and comfort myself for a while.
"Brother Li, the cripple, those remnants can't last long, is it really okay to just ignore them like this?" In order to ease the embarrassing situation at hand, the blue-faced ghost asked casually.
"Alas, these matters were originally handled by my junior brother, but it was only because he had not returned from his trip that it fell on my head..." The lame Li said helplessly.
Perhaps because this junior fellow apprentice was mentioned for the second time by Cripple Li, the blue-faced ghost suddenly felt curious: "Brother Cripple Li, I wonder who your junior senior brother is by name?"
Lame Li wrapped up his clothes: "Brother Song Qing, let's go in and talk..."
Returning to Yizhuang again, Lame Li sat back on the haystack, and then continued to speak: "My junior fellow apprentice's name is Bai Yi, and he is the direct disciple of our Lord of the Palace..."
The lame man Li Zhizhi talked about everything, and he had a long conversation with the blue-faced ghost, just like close relatives and friends.
"Listen to what you say, Brother Bai Yi is really a strange person!" Although the blue-faced ghost was praising him, his words were a little helpless. Although he was quite knowledgeable at this age, it was a pity that he rarely met Bole. So much so that the situation is so different.
"That goes without saying, even though Junior Brother Bai Yi is young, his abilities are far superior to ours..." At this point, the cripple Li was so excited that his face turned red and his eyebrows danced, and he did not hesitate to give "pleasant words." .
"Ouch! Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten this matter!" As he said this, the lame Li's pupils suddenly shrank, "If we put it in the past, Junior Brother Bai Yi's strength could indeed be regarded as this, but This situation has changed since that one came!" Li, the lame man, raised his thumb and then slowly put it down.
"Since that man came to Gui Chai Hall, he has made rapid progress in a short period of time. In the end, even Junior Brother Bai Yi was no match for him!"
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Everyone in the world can't resist legendary stories, even the blue-faced ghost.
When the blue-faced ghost took him away from the ghost hall, many ghosts gathered in front of the door to watch the fun. Taking advantage of his memory was still vague, the blue-faced ghost hurriedly asked: "Who is this person? Who am I? Have you seen it?"
Seeing the surprise on Song Qing's face, the cripple Li smiled mysteriously: "Brother Song Qing is very capable, I think he must have seen it before..."
The blue-faced ghost raised his brows, wondering what the relationship between whether he had seen him before or not had anything to do with his methods.
Fortunately, Cripple Li didn't mean to show off. He just paused for a moment and then continued: "This person is the master of the Li Palace in your underworld, the Taiyin King!"
"No wonder, it turns out you are talking about..." The blue-faced ghost said half of the words, but the second half of the words was choked in his throat, and he said with difficulty: "You said... Taiyin King?"
"That's right..." Cripple Li didn't notice anything strange and continued: "Actually, Junior Brother Bai Yi left this time just to help King Taiyin!"
As the saying goes, there is no place to be found even if you have worn iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all! The blue-faced ghost didn't expect that he had just given up hope, and at this moment he unexpectedly got a new clue.
He took a deep breath, forced to calm down the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "Then do you know what Taiyin King did during this trip to the mortal world?"
"I don't know much about this matter..." Cripple Li shook his head, then touched his nose and said, "I just happened to be passing by at the time and overheard a few conversations..."
"I only remember what the master of the palace and King Taiyin ordered. If I heard correctly, he should have asked King Taiyin to go to the Moon Viewing Altar!"
