Chapter 34 Ghost signs come at night

 On the second day, when Zhongsheng had breakfast with his grandma, he heard everyone in the courtyard talking about it.

"Did you hear that?"

Zhong Sheng recalled last night, he slept so soundly and didn't seem to hear anything.

But the strange thing is that both the old housekeeper and grandma and sister-in-law remember hearing someone screaming.

Uh, I vaguely remember that last night in my dream, there were...two scraps of paper on the ground.

After a while, the old housekeeper followed Zhi in, cursing as he walked, "Damn charlatan, he is causing trouble outside our courtyard, bah bah bah."

It turned out to be a servant who was cleaning the courtyard wall. He found some incense ash residue outside the wall. He thought of the strange thing last night and made the right decision.

Zhong Sheng asked curiously, and the old housekeeper explained it to him.

It turns out that in troubled times, all kinds of heresies emerge in endlessly.

Many sorcerers opened altars, planted flags, and burned incense in order to confuse the people, collect money, defraud and humiliate women, and some ambitious people simply supported the crowd and raised troops to rebel.

This group of sorcerers acted as demons and could wreak havoc for a while at first, but whenever they encountered the imperial army, they would be immediately destroyed.

The rain of swords, guns and arrows destroyed all laws in the world; thousands of troops and horses slaughtered many gods and living Buddhas

In the realm of Guanzhong, we have not heard of warlocks and monsters being infested for many years.

However, various signs last night indicated that a warlock had entered the house, and the scream was proof of failure.

"Zhong Langjun, don't worry, I have prepared a black dog and a rooster. I am not afraid of him coming again tonight."

Zhong Sheng volunteered and couldn't eat for free, "Count me in."

Du Ping has a rich family fortune, generous spending, and management of temples and temples in the city. After this news came out, monks and Taoists came to greet him one after another, leaving behind... magic tools that were said to be consecrated and blessed.

The old housekeeper sent people to climb up the ladder and hang various magical instruments on the doors of the house.

Zhong Sheng was amazed at what he saw, and thought why he was going to such trouble, why not let me guard the opponent and kill him with one sword.

That night!

Everyone on the night watch was trembling with fear. After a cold wind blew all night, they could hear wild dogs howling, night owls running around in the streets, chasing mice. All kinds of noises were clearly audible, but there was no sign of the demon.

The night was uneventful, and it was considered a smooth sailing.

Zhongsheng fell asleep in the middle of the night. He was really bored. He couldn't play cards or chat.

"The magic weapon is useful, so demons don't dare to come."

The old housekeeper was so excited that he even said that the owner’s money was not in vain, and the temples and Taoist temples still had supernatural powers.

Zhong Sheng looked at the various 'magic weapons' and wondered if they would be enough to cut with his sword if they were stacked.

A few more days passed, and each night passed peacefully, and everyone relaxed.

The old housekeeper even told Zhong Sheng that there was no need for Lang Jun to stay overnight and he could go back to rest.

On the seventh day, Zhong Sheng also knew that there would be no harvest, so he was not ready to interfere.

Unexpectedly, something happened on this night.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the servants keeping vigil were hiding in the corners and dozing off.

The night wind blew through the courtyard door, and the magical instruments swayed gently.

Under the moonlight, a quiet and peaceful night scene is presented.

Zhong Sheng is sitting on the bed with the ancient sword across his knees. He is concentrating with his eyes closed and his clothes are neatly arranged.

Suddenly, I heard a string of wind chimes hanging in the direction of the corridor, tinkling.

Normally, the night wind would be quiet for a while at most, but this time it was different, like a hand repeatedly stirring a wind chime.

The bell rang throughout the house, but the servant who was keeping watch seemed to have passed out and was unconscious.

Zhong Sheng's eyelids trembled as he listened to the ringtone, his head sank and he was about to fall asleep.

The cold breath penetrated into his palm, causing him to tremble and wake up.

"Something weird."

He raised his sword and rushed out of the door. Wind chimes sounded in all directions, but all the houses in the house were silent.

Logically speaking, such noise should have woken up the old housekeeper and others.

Zhong Sheng walked quickly and followed the ringing of the bells to the corridor. He saw a one-legged man in pitch black, reaching out to pinch the ring bead of the copper bell.

The sound of the wind chime depends entirely on the back and forth collision of the ringing beads. If you hold the ringing beads, it will become silent

So, where do ringtones come from?

Zhong Sheng's eyes fell on the strange man, and he saw that he was making jingling sounds in his mouth, imitating the sound of wind chimes.

The imitated sound of wind chimes has a hypnotic effect, making everyone fall into a deep sleep.

The weird man was wearing a tattered leather jacket that barely covered his upper body, reaching the waist below, with only one thick thigh.

When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and grinned, and his head split in two on the spot.

"This is so disgusting."

Zhong Sheng withdrew his mouth, and the ancient sword flashed towards the one-legged weirdo's waist.

With a snap, blood splattered, and the only thigh fell to the ground.

As the one-legged monster screamed, smoke billowed from the wound, and he roared, "You dare to hurt me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword pierced his heart and made a bloody hole.

The weirdo was still not dead, shouting in pain, "Why didn't you make it clear before you did it?"

Zhong Sheng didn't say anything and just stabbed him with the ancient sword, "Do you accept it or not?"

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced."

A moment later, the one-legged weirdo was lying in a pool of blood, with his head on his head and his broken leg, unable to explain.

"I am the messenger of the Ghost King, here to inquire about Zhong Kui's sister."

Hearing his second uncle's name, Zhong Sheng stabbed him harder, "Tell me, why did I send you here?"

"Probably because I am smart, capable, and able to adapt to changes."

As soon as the one-legged weirdo finished speaking, he received another heavy blow, "I didn't let you say this."

"Stop poking, I'll recruit, the Huanggui King is coming to steal the bride and become Zhong Kui's cheap brother-in-law."

When Zhong Sheng heard that it was okay, he asked him, "Do you recognize me?"

The one-legged weirdo shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."

"Remember, my uncle is Zhong Kui. Your master, Huanggui King, wants to be my cheap uncle. Please ask me first if I agree?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Sheng held the ancient sword and struck it down with all his strength, cutting the one-legged monster in half from head to waist, like chopping wood.

The one-legged weirdo didn't even hum, and was killed on the spot.

At sunrise the next day, there were blood stains on the ground and the bodies were missing.

Zhong Sheng looked at the ringing beads of the wind chime and saw clear finger marks, thinking that this ghost has some strength!

Things are in trouble. King Huanggui, as the name suggests, is also a king. He should have many subordinates!

According to the one-legged ghost's confession, the Huanggui King is the enemy of the second uncle.

Although Uncle Du also has a share of the family business, in terms of robbing relatives, he can rob a living person, and I am afraid he cannot rob the ghost king.

Although my sister-in-law is good-looking and well-managed, she is a hot commodity in the local marriage market.

However, what kind of ghost king came to snatch the bride, he looked down on his family members too much.

In mythology, I have never heard of Zhong Dao having so many twists and turns when marrying his sister.

"No matter what, I will kill whoever comes to snatch the bride, so what about the Ghost King?"

When Zhong Sheng thought of this, his chest suddenly felt hot and his skin glowed red.

During his breath, the red light condensed into a corner of the red scarf, which was exactly the corner of the red robe that his second uncle gave him when he was in Chang'an City.

The return of the soul before was not found in the physical body, but unexpectedly it appeared today.

"Zhong Sheng, I am your uncle. Recently, a rival has come to make things difficult for my family."

"I am leading my troops back. During this period, you must protect your family."
