144 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 143

☆, 143 The copper furnace opens and all the ghosts come to visit

The next day, Xie Lian and Huacheng set out on the road.

Huacheng held Xie Lian’s hand and said: “Brother, next time you see Jun Wu, don’t say a word to him, just turn around and run away.”

Xie Lian wondered: “Why?”

Huacheng said: “I knew that every time he came to you, he would be in trouble.”

Xie Lian smiled and said: “How do you say this? The job he originally sent me was not this errand.”

Huacheng said: “It’s the same. Whether it’s to go to Tonglu Mountain or to help him take care of Heaven, which one is better? Heaven is in ruins now, let’s get over as soon as possible. What’s the point of leaving such a mess to you? It’s nothing more than a choice between committing suicide with a knife or committing suicide with a sword.”

Xie Lian couldn’t help but laugh, and then said seriously: “However, I really didn’t expect that you would actually offer to accompany me to Tonglu Mountain. I thought about it for a long time, and I think I still have to say, Sanlang, you must not force it.”

He always felt that Huacheng offered to go with him because he knew what he was thinking.After all, Xie Lian really felt that it would be better to be locked in a furnace and killed than to go to heaven and do something he was not good at.Huacheng said: “Brother, I have repeatedly promised not to force myself. Don’t you believe me?”

Xie Lian said: “Of course it’s not…”

Huacheng nodded and said: “Then brother, don’t worry, I have my own considerations. Don’t feel that you owe me anything. Even if it is completely from my standpoint, I don’t mind putting him back before the new ghost king is born.”

In this matter, the existing ghost king and the Heavenly Court have common interests.There is only so much rice, and everyone wants to eat it, but now there is not enough to share. There are occasional fights, and no one is happy if more newcomers get a share of the rice.And if this new guy is a desperate person and goes crazy, no one will be able to succeed.

After listening to Huacheng’s proposal, Jun Wu thought about it seriously for a long time.If Xie Lian went alone, he would definitely be less sure than if he went alone, but if Xie Lian plus a ghost king who had personally experienced it from Tonglu Mountain, this combination would be more sure than if he went alone.

Of course, Huacheng will not go in vain, Jun Wu agreed to his conditions: before the next mountain opening, the entire heaven must go around the ghost city.Moreover, the whole court must be informed of the heroic deeds of Blood Rain and the Flowers, and sing their praises for a whole year… Xie Lian imagined it, and it was probably something like “You stupid priests! Do you know who saved you!” – Such an effect.It was simply abusing the priests who were already very afraid of Huacheng and had complicated emotions, and stepped on their faces on the ground.

Huacheng smiled and said: “With me, this trip will be much easier for you.”

Pulling back his thoughts, he thanked Lian and said, “I still think it would be better for us to go after you have passed your restlessness period and returned to your original form.”

Huacheng said: “Don’t worry about this. It will be soon.”

Xie Lian was startled and said: “Ah…”

Huacheng said: “What? What is my brother’s expression like?”

Xie Lian said: “…that means Sanlang is going to grow up?”

Huacheng said with his hands behind his back: “Well. I’ve been enduring it for a long time and I can’t wait any longer.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lian lifted him up, raised his hands high, and said with a smile: “That’s a pity! When you grow up, you won’t be able to hold him, so hurry up and give him more hugs now, hahahahahaha…”

“…”

To go to Tonglu Mountain, you can’t use Shuchi Senli, so you can only rely on walking.After dozens of days, the two of them finally left the town and the human habitation completely, and entered the mountains, an endless, lush and green forest.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more and denser the monsters you encounter on the roadside, all of them strange, sneaky and hurried.Xie Lian held Huacheng’s hand and whispered as he walked: “A lot of people are coming.”

Huacheng said: “There are indeed more ghosts gathering this time than before. Because Heaven did not stop them this time, many people who did not plan to come came.”

Moreover, there are not only solitary ones, but also groups.After walking for a while, Xie Lian encountered a large group of tattered monsters and monsters with ferocious faces, forming an array and shouting as they walked:

“Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all living beings are copper!”

“The water is in dire straits and there are countless calamities!”

“Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all living beings are copper!”

“The water is in dire straits and there are countless calamities!”

Listening to the tone of their shouts, instead of being afraid of this visit, I was actually looking forward to it.Hearing their slogans, Huacheng looked slightly cold and said: “I don’t know what this sentence means at all, but I shouted louder than anyone else.”

Come to think of it, there are so many monsters and ghosts that have never been seen in person, and they don’t know how cruel they are. They think success is too easy, and they are full of ambitions, which makes those who have experienced it feel unhappy.Thanks for the pity: “Is it okay to come in groups like this?”

Huachengdao: “This kind of people usually get to know each other a long time ago. They plan to go into the mountains together, and they have agreed in advance that they will save each other’s lives. But no agreement can be kept. Because in the end, killing one more will increase your strength, and killing one less will reduce your vitality. And the easiest thing to do is of course the object closest to you and trusting you.”

After saying that, he frowned slightly and covered his right eye, seeming to have a headache again.Xie Lian hurriedly carried him to the side of the woods, squatted down, and said slightly worriedly: “Sanlang, we are going into the mountains soon, do you really think it doesn’t matter?”

After calming his eyebrows slightly, Huacheng said: “Brother, don’t worry, it’s normal. It will be fine soon.”

How can Xie Lian say that he can rest assured?Huacheng said again: “Brother, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Xie Lian didn’t know what was going on, and he moved his face closer.Huacheng held his face with both hands and gently pressed his forehead against his.Xie Lian blinked and was stunned.When Huacheng let him go, he said: “Sanlang, you…”

Huacheng smiled and said: “Okay. This place is full of ghosts. My brother is a priest. The smell will be obvious inside, so it can be slightly concealed.”

It turns out that what happened just now was because Xie Lian had his breath on him.Xie Lian couldn’t help but think of the previous situation of “crossing the law and crossing the air” between the two. He was afraid that Huacheng would also remember it and mention it again, and said hurriedly: “Okay. Let’s all disguise ourselves.”

In order to blend in among the ghosts, it is natural to have to make some disguise.However, in fact, it is just wearing a cloak. It is not surprising that many monsters and ghosts also like to wear masks or cloaks.The two simply dressed up, and Xie Lian took Huacheng in hand and walked forward slowly.After walking for a while, there was a faint noise in front of me. I didn’t know what was going on. I thanked him and said, “Is there any landmark or something that tells you that you have entered Tonglu Mountain?”

Huacheng said: “Yes. But don’t believe those things.”

Xie Lian was about to continue asking, but he heard the noise in front of him getting louder and louder.The two of them came out of the forest. It turned out that in front of a steep mountain wall, a large group of dark monsters and monsters, at least three to four hundred people, were gathered together.However, this is just the tip of the iceberg of this gathering of ghosts.

“Why is the road blocked? Could it be that we are going the wrong way?”

“No way…didn’t it say that any road can lead to Tonglu Mountain?”

Maybe it’s because they haven’t entered the realm of Tonglu Mountain yet, and the fighting hasn’t officially started yet. At the moment, the ghosts are relatively harmonious.Xie Lian casually found a ghost next to him and asked casually: “Excuse me, what’s going on ahead?”

The ghost said: “You don’t have eyes, can’t you see by yourself? It’s blocked by a mountain and you can’t get through.”

“…”

Xie Lian looked at the ghost next to him. Half of its head had been chopped off. This was truly a ghost without eyes.But he couldn’t say anything, so he just said: “Can’t we go around it?”

At this time, several ghosts came over from the side and said with their long tongues: “Damn, this mountain is evil! I ran away for more than half an hour and still can’t see the edge! I ran for more than half an hour before coming back!”

The ghosts said to Xie Lian, “No.”

Xie Lian added: “Can’t you climb up or fly over?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a seven-foot-large bird fell from the sky with a roar, and hit the ground with a thud. It seemed that he died on the spot.A ghost shouted: “Yao Shou! The bird spirit is so exhausted that it can’t even fly over!”

The ghosts said to Xie Lian again: “No!”

Xie Lian said again: “That can’t be…”

Before he finished speaking, the ghosts all hissed at him, wishing to silence him: “Stop asking! You crow’s mouth!”

Thanks for the pity: “Okay.”

Hundreds of demons and ghosts were blocked in front of this mountain cliff that could not be circumvented, climbed or flown over. All kinds of sounds were buzzing and noisy, emerging one after another, making it very noisy.Some said: “I understand! This is not an ordinary mountain, but a barrier.”

Some said: “Everyone, after climbing over this mountain, there must be Tonglu Mountain behind it. This mountain is probably the first test before entering the mountain. If you can’t pass this simplest test, let alone the ones that follow, let’s just leave!”

“Wait!”

“What are you waiting for?”

A voice wondered: “Why…do I smell a very strange smell?”

“What does it smell like? Is it because the dead human flesh you brought to eat on the road smells bad?”

The voice said: “No, no, no. It’s not dead human flesh, it’s living people! No, no, no, it’s not right either! … It kind of smells like… a priest!!!”

As soon as this statement came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ghosts shouted: “What?! Stop talking nonsense, how can there be a priest?”

“Ah wait! That…I smell it too!”

“Why don’t I have one here?”

“When you say that, it sounds like I’m a bit…could a priest sneak in, right?!”

“It’s impossible… Which priest is so bold as to come to a place like this?”

After more than a dozen sentences, everyone was in shock. Xie Lian’s heart was slightly raised, but his face remained calm.

Just now, Huacheng had clearly helped him cover up his human scent, so how could he still smell it?It’s not like anyone discovered that he had sneaked in.

Huacheng held his hand and whispered: “Brother, be careful, something is muddying the waters and taking the opportunity to create chaos.”

Xie Lian said: “It is also possible that besides me, there are other priests who have sneaked in.”

At this time, the ghost who was the first to mention the human flavor jumped onto a big stone and said: “Everyone! Maybe, seeing that the death officials in heaven failed to stop us on the road this time, they sent people to Tonglu Mountain to spoil our grand event. I suggest that everyone wearing masks, wearing cloaks, and those wearing a lot of clothes should take off their clothes first. In this case, whoever has a spiritual light on him will be discovered at once. Report your name one by one, and don’t give them a chance to sneak in!”

The group of ghosts cheered, and the ghost continued: “I’ll go first! I’m the ‘Death-killing Knife Demon’, an executioner’s decapitating knife. I always only use one knife to kill people and behead them!”

“…”

According to Xie Lian’s experience, generally speaking, the more exaggerated and straightforward the name is, and the more likely it is to use words such as “peerless”, “thousand hands”, “invincible”, “deadly”, etc., the easier it is to be killed. Usually one move is enough, and sometimes one move can kill three.At least hundreds of names were reported in random order, and he shook his head as he listened.Suddenly, a ghost bumped him with his elbow and said, “Hey, why don’t you take off your cloak? Who are you?”

This sentence is not intended to be contemptuous, but if it is not a person, then there seems to be nothing wrong with calling it a “thing”.In fact, there were many other ghosts who had not taken off their cloaks or masks. There was one near Xie Lian, who was looking at them with his arms folded. However, Xie Lian was the first one to be named. Seeing everyone looking around, he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. He slowly took off his cloak and said warmly: “I am a puppet master.”

All the ghosts gathered around and said, “That’s it! No wonder you look like a human being. This is the first time I’ve seen a puppet master!”

Xie Lian smiled and said nothing.The puppet master is a kind of monster with very weak evil spirits.Because in order to make perfect puppets, they will search for all kinds of materials to experiment with, so it is not surprising that they are tainted with the scent of anything.Because they are very fond of human skin materials, they are very popular.The dream of puppet masters is to pluck the hair from the head of a priest and make a wig for their own puppet. Some are brave enough to actually try it, so it is not surprising that they have the breath of a priest.

A ghost asked: “What about your puppet?”

Thanks for looking around, he bent down and picked up Hua Cheng.

The ghosts all exclaimed: “Wow, it’s so exquisite!”

“What material? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s quite realistic.”

“I feel like I will be a very powerful competitor…”

“It’s not very realistic. I think it looks a bit fake and the skin is too white. And how come a child’s eyelashes are so long?”

Although Huacheng held his hands with his face expressionless, many female ghosts were still hit by his appearance, and their hearts had stopped beating. They said: “I’m going to die, what a handsome doll!” “Master, can you take the order? Can I order the same one from you? The price is negotiable.” Some even couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch it.Xie Lian hurriedly took Hua Cheng back and hugged him into his arms. The ghosts booed: “How stingy! He is so precious, and he won’t even be touched.”

Xie Lian hugged Hua Cheng tighter with his left hand, and touched his hair with his right hand and said: “Of course, this is my doll. And he has a very bad temper. No one except me can touch him, otherwise he will be very angry.”

Huacheng raised his eyebrows in his arms, and the ghosts laughed and said: “Oh, he can still raise his eyebrows, it’s so weird!”

At this time, a voice suddenly said: “I don’t think so.”
