Chapter 11 Mid-Yuan Festival big deal, buy one get three free!(1/2)
With the cool breeze on the skin of [Difficult Kid], I felt that the whole world was different.
Sakurai City, which used to be normal in the eyes of the cool breeze, is now shrouded in gray gas, hidden in the dark night sky. If the cool breeze hadn't flown high into the sky, these gases wouldn't have been detected.
After all, he became a ghost and could fly freely. Liangfeng naturally wanted to experiment with the feeling of flying, and then discovered these gray gases hidden in the darkness.
However, he found that his flying was not that convenient. Specifically, he was not flying, but floating.
But when he reached a certain height, that is, just after he touched the gray gas, although he could continue upward, he felt a pain like his body was being pulled. It was not unbearable, but...it hurt!
This should be the height limit.
And because he is floating, his speed is not very fast.
However, when touching these gray gases, the cool breeze feels very comfortable.
Maybe these gray gases are related to ghosts.
"But what are these gases? Where do they come from? Are they also found in the sky?" Liangfeng frowned.
Then Liangfeng curiously grabbed a handful of gray gas and looked at it in his hand. Although it was gas, with the kid's skin condition, he could hold the gas in his hand.
Then Liangfeng's eyes widened.
The gray gas actually lit up with a familiar white light in his hands!

Liangfeng blinked, and then looked around. The entire sky of Sakurai City and the sky in the distance were shrouded in this gray gas. If all this was recycled...
The cool breeze feels like it’s going to blow up!
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Liangfeng raised his hand, and ten seconds later, his recovery points increased by ten.
Liangfeng looked at the gray gas above his head, thought for a moment, then endured the pain, raised his height, entered the gray gas, and disappeared.
The one below is filled with thin ghost energy, but what about the one above?
Although it hurts a bit, I just go in and rub it in and don’t do much else.
It was now eight o'clock in the evening.
It is already night time, and some beings who have been sleeping during the day have begun to be active at night.
Moreover, today is not easy because today is the Hungry Ghost Festival!
The Hungry Ghost Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, falls on the half of July, and is called the Bon Festival in Buddhism.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called the Shangyuan Festival by the Han people to celebrate the Lantern Festival, which has been practiced since ancient times. The fifteenth day of the seventh month is called the Zhongyuan Festival by the Han people to worship ancestors.
The Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and some on the 14th day of the seventh lunar month. It was originally Xiaoqiu, when some crops were ripe, and it was customary for the people to worship their ancestors, use new rice, etc. as offerings, and report the autumn harvest to their ancestors. Therefore, every year
During the Hungry Ghost Festival, every family worships their ancestors and performs rituals when doing so.
On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, people visit graves and pay homage to their ancestors.
Legend has it that on that day all the ghosts were released from the underworld, and people generally carried out activities to worship ghosts. Anyone who had a new funeral would usually go to a new grave, and generally local ghosts would be sacrificed. Therefore, the whole ceremony was dedicated to worshiping ghosts.
The ghost-centered festival is one of the largest folk sacrificial festivals.
Although the world is no longer divided into countries, different regions and different ethnic groups have different legends and customs.
This kind of legendary festival is no longer so orthodox in the era of modern science. There are also fewer people offering sacrifices and many forms are missing. However, the core of worshiping ancestors and visiting their graves still exists.
Of course, no matter what, almost no one would go to the cemetery to worship their ancestors in the middle of the night.
But in this world with supernatural beings, is the Ghost Festival really that simple?
Some awakened special beings rose into the sky after sensing the things in the sky that were attracted to them.
But some beings that couldn't fly too high or couldn't leave the ground could only open their mouths and roar incompetently.
…
In an apartment, two figures stood in front of the window, looking at the sky.
It was the girl and the spider girl who were dressed a little bit in the clothes that Liangfeng met before. At this time, the two of them looked a little strange.
"The Ghost River has begun to descend, and the carnival has begun." Spider Girl said.
The Hungry Ghost Festival is indeed not simple.
Every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, a large amount of ghost energy will fall from the sky. It is unknown where these ghost energies come from, but they appear high in the sky like rivers, so they are called ghost rivers.
Whenever the ghost river appears, the ghosts will start to have a carnival, rise to the sky, and enjoy a large amount of ghost energy to increase their strength.
And some ghosts that cannot ascend can only wait underground.
The Ghost River will fall from top to bottom. As it continues to fall, the Ghost River will become thinner and thinner, and finally it will fall to the ground and dissipate completely.
Although the ghost energy will become thinner in the end, the ghosts waiting on the ground can still enjoy the ghost energy.
And for a period of time after the Hungry Ghost Festival, the ghosts on the ground will become quite active.
However, in this carnival of ghosts, what really makes the ghosts quickly increase their strength is not the falling ghost energy, but the same kind awakened by the ghost energy!
Just like a big fish eating a small fish, it devours each other and becomes stronger.
"Get ready. This period is a good opportunity for us to expand our manpower. Those high-quality subordinates may have woken up."
"Yes, young master!"
They did not choose to absorb the falling ghost energy. Although ghost energy can improve their strength, the improvement is limited. The real function of ghost energy is to wake up those sleeping entities.
"By the way, where is the boy from last time?"
"Shilong is investigating."
"Um."
The girl didn't say much.
They had no choice but to leave home and start a business in this strange city with two subordinates. In addition, they had few resources in this city and many things were inconvenient, so they had to give their subordinates some time.
But the girl believed in the abilities of her subordinates.
…
High in the sky, the cool breeze endured the pain and continued to rise for a certain distance, and then...
"It's no longer possible. I can't bear it anymore. Let's stay here."
Liang Feng grinned. He could already feel that the ghost energy around him seemed to be getting thicker and denser. If he tried to squeeze in more, the surroundings would become tighter.
Here, visibility is very low, no more than one meter.
The cool breeze caught a handful of ghost energy.
Soon the ghost energy lit up with a white light.
"Why is it still white?"
[Item: A handful of slightly rich ghost energy (recyclable)]
Liangfeng thought for a moment, then stretched out his hands and held up more ghost energy.
This time, a green light lit up the ghost spirit.
"Sure enough, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!"
[Item: A handful of slightly rich ghost energy (recyclable)]
The cool breeze begins the happy recycling.
However, after a few minutes of cool breeze recovery, the ghost energy in his hands turned into white light again.
"Huh? Wait, the surroundings seem to be getting looser."
However, the pain in my body has not changed much, it is still so painful.
"The surroundings have become looser. Could it be that the ghost energy has become thinner?"
Liangfeng frowned and did not continue recycling.
At this time, the recovery point has risen crazily to 2170 points, and we are almost able to get another ten consecutive points.
But this sudden wealth did not make Liangfeng completely blinded by ghost energy.
The ghost atmosphere around him changed, and he had to be more careful.
Then Liangfeng made a decision.
"Retreat first!"
Liangfeng began to decline, but Liangfeng found that the time it took for him to withdraw from the ghost aura was much longer than the time it took for him to enter the ghost aura.
"Does it mean I've gone in so deep?"
Finally, the pain on Liangfeng's body disappeared. Theoretically, he should have evacuated the area with ghost energy, but there was still ghost energy around him.
The ghost energy has become thinner, and the cool breeze can see further.
"Here... the ghost energy is sinking and becoming thinner!"
To be continued...
