[Host, the plot of this episode is out! 】
Xiao 8 happily brought up the panel. The plot information that was previously full of "?" finally showed part of the text.
[Well... the main plot is similar to what you, the host, have experienced now. In the original plot, the heroine went down the mountain for the first time as a Taoist disciple. She accidentally learned about the bride getting married in the mountain ghost village, so she came to save her.
She met the male protagonist in the mountains and mistakenly thought that he was the evil ghost in the mountains who sucked the souls of women. During the fight, she accidentally triggered an illusion and was tied to the "Yin Yuan Knot". From then on, the entanglement began...]
This part of the original plot mentioned by Xiao 8 is no different from what Xiao Ling guessed.
However, his status as cannon fodder is a little too cannon fodder. In the original plot, he was only mentioned the word "bride" and was offline. He was a tool that facilitated the encounter between the male and female protagonists.
This is the beginning of the story. A thread of marriage entangled the Taoist disciples and the Ghost King who were supposed to be opposites... So what happens next?
Why does Han Yuan appear here?
How to untie the marriage thread after it is tied?
Presumably these two questions are the key to leading to the following plot points.
Xiao Ling thought a lot in his mind, but in fact only a moment passed, and Gu Qingchen's next words helped him answer his questions.
"It can suppress resentful ghosts, transform their obsessions, and help them pass away."
Gu Qingchen's expression had been stagnant since Han Yuan used the red flames, but now he suddenly realized it and leaned over and saluted Han Yuan: "No wonder the three of you have strong ghost energy but no bad karma. I think this young master is the ghost here." Bar?"
"Ghosts and gods?" is another new term. Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought of the petition Zhuo Feng mentioned before.
Not to mention him, even Bai Qingyin, who is a disciple of Xuanmen, is very unfamiliar with this: "Brother, I only know about ghosts, ghosts, ghosts and ghosts. What are these ghosts and gods?"
Since he is a ghost, why can he be given the suffix "god"?
Bai Qingyin said, still hiding behind Yu Zhu, and timidly glanced at Han Yuan.
Last night she witnessed this ghost "sucking in ghosts" and taking away a "bride", but why did her senior brother say he was not an evil ghost?
"Haha~ You come down the mountain for the first time, you don't know anything, and you still dare to run around?" Gu Qingchen scolded Bai Qingyin gently, "Although it is the duty of Xuanmen to transform evil spirits and save people, in fact, there are still many people who would rather Petition to a more powerful ghost.
Although he is a ghost, he is worshiped by incense and is called a 'ghost'.
Of course, not every place is protected by ghosts and gods. Only the "Ghost King" who is powerful and has no bad karma can receive the prayers of ordinary people.
The young master must have come here because he received petitions from the people. "
Gu Qingchen solved Xiao Ling and Bai Qingyin's confusion in just a few words. However, after hearing this, Han Yuan sneered coldly, with a look of disdain and a little disgust.
"Tsk, what ghosts and gods are, they are just nonsense names taken from your Xuanmen. I am just a lonely ghost leader trapped in this corner of the world, working for your Xuanmen."
"That's right! You Xuanmen are pretending to build some ghost temple, don't you just want us ghost masters to work for you? And you Xuanmen are paid to get rid of ghosts. When you come to us, just kowtow and make a wish and then send it away. !" Zhuo Feng also became indignant.
Even though he has become a ghost, he still can't be free. He is busy working for Xuanmen all day long. He doesn't even offer more money for personal petitions. He doesn't even have the money to buy more cakes, which makes him feel more resentful than death. It's still heavy.
Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he said this.
Xuanmen and ghosts and gods both exist to suppress evil spirits and protect the people, so they should be in a cooperative relationship.
Moreover, completing people's petitions and gaining faith should bring more blessings and merits to ghosts and gods, which is much more precious than ordinary money and common things.
Zhuo Feng's tone was really resentful, which made Xiao Ling find it funny.
He thought that Han Yuan and the others hated Xuanmen so much because the two sides had a life-and-death antagonistic relationship, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason... What should I say, workers with deep grievances?
"Haha~" The imaginary Han Yuan with the label "worker" on his head was really cute. Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing, causing Han Yuan next to him to lower his head and look over in wonder: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Xiao Ling thought of the two pieces of sugar cakes with doubtful origins, and teased in a low voice: "Is Guigu very poor?"
"..." The noble Ghost King rarely choked, but he concealed it well: "Don't worry, I can still afford a wife."
This Zhuo Feng almost exposed his background!
It seems that if someone petitions again in the future, they will have to find a way to get some money...or maybe recruit some younger brothers who have funeral objects? There is no way for a lonely ghost to make money...
Xiao Ling didn't know that with just one word, the noble "ghost" fell into the mortal world and fell into the eyes of money.
He smiled and nodded, but his mood was not as relaxed as he appeared.
All joking aside, according to Gu Qingchen's words, Han Yuan's acceptance of people's petitions and incense offerings should be a good thing that does more good than harm, and the relationship with Xuanmen should also be mutually beneficial.
But looking at Han Yuan and Zhuo Feng's attitude towards Xuanmen, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as "working", let alone doing any harm to Han Yuan...
"Let's not talk about this first, how to solve this thing?"
Zhuofeng has been studying the red thread tied to his middle finger for a long time, but no matter how he changes his form, he can't take it off.
As soon as he saw this line now, he thought of how he was in the illusion...ah, don't think about it!
"Could it be like that mountain ghost and the female ghost just now? One's soul is gone, and the other can only be cured by being reincarnated?!"
Zhuo Feng looked broken and looked at Han Yuan: "Ghost Lord, how about you save me..."
Han Yuan: "...If I could save you early, would you still be left to bother me in Guigu?"
"...Same." The boy in red drooped the corners of his mouth, then suddenly turned to Gu Qingchen with a fierce look on his face: "Then I'll eat him! He will turn into a devil, and you can save me again!"
Han Yuan: "..." That's not salvation, that's destruction.
The ghost appearance he had transformed into was ferocious and terrifying, but the gentle young man in white was not frightened by him. Instead, he found this ghost boy very cute.
"If I guessed correctly, the knot formed by this thread has become a 'Yin Yuan Knot'. Even if I don't resist, the young master will not be able to 'eat' me."
