The middle-aged man with heavy eyebrows and a chain on his waist looked at Shu Guan up and down, then suddenly frowned for some reason, then stepped back five or six steps before standing still, and then asked:
"Haven't seen you before, new guy?"
When the middle-aged man appeared, Shu Guan suddenly felt the same special feeling he had when he faced the beauty in white not long ago.
That is, this person is clearly in front of you, but it is so ethereal, as if the whole person does not actually exist.
This is also a ghost.
A hint of enlightenment arose in Shu Guan's heart.
Seeing the middle-aged man asking questions at this time, Shu Guan smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"The good ones have been meditating under the door, and they have been contemplating it. It has only been more than a year since I entered the meditative form."
Seeing the middle-aged man walking a little too far, Shu Guan didn't know the reason, but subconsciously stepped forward to speak.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man took a few steps back as if avoiding a snake or scorpion.
"stop!"
He raised his hand and gestured to Shuguan.
Shu Guan stopped quickly and looked at the middle-aged man with some confusion, oh, or should I say, a middle-aged male ghost.
The middle-aged man looked at Shu Guan carefully again, then clicked his tongue a few times, shook his head and said:
"Good guy, with dragon blood and nine-turn pure Yang Kung, you are simply the natural nemesis of our ghost clan."
"So you should stay away from me. I feel uncomfortable standing next to you."
Shu Guan was suddenly startled.
The middle-aged man continued to care about himself and said:
"Okay, I am the City Prince here, Jiao Zheng. You have summoned me from the underworld. What's going on?"
Shu Guan temporarily suppressed the doubts that arose in his heart due to the city prince's words just now, and first explained his purpose of coming.
This was actually not a very complicated matter, but the conversation between Shu Guan and Jiao Zheng of the City Emperor Temple lasted for a full hour.
The main reason is that this middle-aged male ghost really likes to interrupt.
The conversation between two people goes like this:
When Shu Guan talked about the previous things at the patrol station, the city emperor Jiao Zheng listened listlessly until Shu Guan told the story that the chief security officer opened a coffin fifty years ago, and a woman sat in the coffin. When the ghost appeared, the city prince Jiao Zheng suddenly exclaimed "Wow", startling Shu Guan who was telling the story.
"It takes fifty years of pregnancy to become a ghost. This female ghost is really amazing!"
City Emperor Jiao Zheng sighed in admiration again, and then when he saw Shu Guan looking a little puzzled, he immediately explained enthusiastically:
"Do you know why after death, some people's souls go directly to the underworld and enter the six realms of reincarnation, while some people stay in the world and become what mortals call 'ghosts'?"
"have no idea."
Shu Guan shook his head.
"Because of obsession. There are things in the world that you can't let go of, so you won't leave."
"Of course, most ghosts will have obsessions. Whether they can let you stay depends on how strong your obsession is."
...because I feel reluctant to leave, so I don’t want to leave...
What made that female ghost stay was probably her love for Qin Songling.
Shu Guan thought this, and then asked curiously:
"Then Emperor Jiao Cheng just said that it takes fifty years to conceive, so what's going on?"
To be honest, he is also very interested in knowing about ghosts. Since the city prince is willing to talk, he might as well ask more.
"General ghosts have no body, just some ghosts. These ghosts in the ghost tribe are equivalent to the mortals in your human race. But there are some ghosts with particularly strong obsessions that can re-condensate their bodies. Of course, this This body is not the flesh and blood body of the human race, but the soul body of our ghost race. These ghosts with soul bodies are equivalent to practitioners in the human race and have more power than ordinary ghosts."
"Most ghost cultivators, when they die, as long as their obsession is strong enough, they can condense their soul bodies within a few days after death."
"But the female ghost you just mentioned took fifty years to condense her soul body. This is a rare thing."
"Does that mean her obsession is not really strong?"
"No, just the opposite. This shows that the female ghost's obsession is very strong, so strong that it's terrifying."
City Emperor Jiao Zheng said extremely seriously.
"The strength level of our ghost cultivators is different from that of your human cultivators. We don't have the realm of first awareness like yours. What we talk about is the grade of the soul body."
"As for the grade of the ghost-cultivating soul body, it is basically determined when the soul body is condensed. The stronger the original soul and the stronger the obsession after death, the higher the grade of the condensed soul body. .”
】
"Condensing the soul body can be done if it works. If it doesn't work, the soul will be pulled by the power of heaven and enter the underworld. And the female ghost took fifty years to condense the body, which shows that she The original power of the soul was not very powerful, but she was still dragged into the world for fifty years, which shows that her obsession has reached a terrifying level."
"The level of this female ghost's soul body must be very high. If she is allowed to practice Taoism in the underworld, she will be a very powerful ghost cultivator!"
…
Then Shu Guan began to continue talking.
When he was talking about the fortune telling about the whereabouts of the female ghost, the middle-aged male ghost who was hiding from him from a distance added another sentence.
"The divination skills of your Taoist sect are basically of little use against ghosts. We in the underworld have our own methods of finding the whereabouts of ghosts."
…
"When the sun sets, the female ghost finally appears."
"Yes, for us ghosts, the sun is the most annoying thing. If an ordinary ghost is directly illuminated by the sun, it will disappear in a short time. If it is a ghost cultivator who has condensed a soul body, Although the sun won’t cause too much damage to it, it will still be very uncomfortable if it is exposed to it.”
…
"That female ghost actually saw through the invisibility charm on me and directly broke my Xingzang."
"...Well, the female ghost's soul level seems to be higher than I just expected. I'm afraid it's already the sixth level."
"In addition, the main reason is that you practice the Nine-turn Pure Yang Kung Fu. People who have practiced Lu Zu's Nine-turn Pure Yang Kung are like beacons in the dark night to our ghost clan. We can smell you from a long distance. The breath is gone.”
…
"She's really fast."
"That is, our ghost clan's body is made of condensed souls, and our feathers still have weight, but our ghost clan does not, so the speed will naturally be faster."
…
"I used Qing Ping's sword technique to kill..."
"Haha, you actually used sword control to kill a ghost, you must have killed it in the air!"
"You must know that we ghosts are not flesh and blood. Weapons such as swords cannot hurt us at all. Even most Taoist techniques are of no use to us."
"Then what method should be used to fight the ghost clan? Oh, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, Prince Cheng, just pretend that I didn't ask."
"It's okay. We are all from the Seven Immortals Alliance. This is no secret. Among ordinary Taoist arts, we ghosts are most afraid of thunder spells. In addition, fire spells will also cause some harm to us."
"Of course, there are other special Taoist techniques, such as those that can directly attack the soul. It is indeed possible to kill us ghosts easily."
"By the way, who did you win against that female ghost later? If you don't know how to use lightning, you won't have any tricks against that female ghost. Did you just come to me for help? Hahahaha..."
"I won, but it's a pity that I relented and was run away by that female ghost."
"What! You actually won? Tell me what kind of magic you used to drive her away?"
"I happen to know a Taoist technique that attacks the soul, called Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique."
"..."
"Tianyin Demon Subduing Technique, that legendary Earth Immortal Technique??!"
"good."
…
Shu Guan finally finished speaking, and thanks to the city prince's good habit of interrupting, after finishing talking about the female ghost, Shu Guan found that he actually knew a lot about the ghost clan.
You must know that many of the things that City Emperor Jiao Zheng told him just now are not recorded in Daozang Pavilion.
Then Shu Guan looked up again at the statue in the hall, and then at Jiao Zheng.
In the Chenghuang Temple, there are many records about the deeds of the Chenghuang Lord during his lifetime, whether on the walls or on the inscriptions on various monuments.
It's just that it's really difficult for Shu Guan to connect the middle-aged male ghost in front of him with the loyal, martyr, and righteous minister of Great China five thousand years ago in the history books.
Is it true that history books are all lies?
Or is it because after a person becomes a ghost, his personality will change drastically?
Shu Guan was a little confused.
As for the city prince Jiao Zheng, he was still standing far away at this time, staring at Shu Guan with a strange expression, and murmured:
"I read that right, this is indeed a ghost nemesis!"
