Chapter 21: Is Mao Zedong Dead?

  "Let's go, it's time to have some fun with them."

  "Thousands of years have passed and it's still so much fun, you're still young at heart." I couldn't help but comment.

  "They are your friends, right? Give you a chance to choose any fantasy to tease them, and then everyone lives here happily ever after, haha!" The old ghost laughed with great joy, so many people came to accompany him, how could he not be happy.

  "That arrogant and proud guy, it's best if we can take him down a peg." I sneered.

  "That Li Jian Tian is always so stubborn, it's necessary to discipline him sometimes." I continued.

  "As for Zhang Xinyu, just don't bully her anymore, she's quite pitiful." Just after I finished speaking, I saw Lin Mo pouting at me.

  "She and I are just friends, nothing more, don't get me wrong." I explained hastily.

  Lin Mo turned his head away, pretending to be angry and ignoring me.

  "This..." I glanced at the old ghost, he chuckled and I could only smile wryly. When girls eat vinegar, that sour taste is toxic.

  Three people, including Mao Shiying, entered the maze city with a look of confusion on their faces. As soon as the city gate disappeared, Mao Shiying immediately realized he had been deceived and tried every means to escape but couldn't even touch the outside world. Just like being trapped under the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha. When they were at a loss for what to do, the illusion began to change, and an earthen wall maze appeared in the illusion. Because the three people were in different positions, they were separated by the earthen walls and walked into three different paths.

  Zhang Xinyu's road leads directly to our place, while Mao Shijiu and Li Jiantian are in a precarious situation, awaiting them is the test of fate.

  Zhang Xinyu soon found us.

  "Finally found you, where have you been?" Zhang Xinyu came in and saw me at first glance, excitedly hugging my arm.

  I immediately pushed Zhang Xinyu away, "Men and women should not be so intimate." Especially with Zhang Xinyu's two balls almost stuck in her armpits, how can this be natural.

  "Hello, I'm Lin Mo." Unexpectedly, Lin Mo went up to introduce himself with a big smile. Zhang Xinyu had never seen Lin Mo before and glanced at him with disdain, "72, 53, 74, his figure is worse than mine, but his face is okay". She muttered to herself.

  Lin Mo's next words left me stunned.

  "I am Yang Guo's girlfriend," Lin Miao said bluntly.

  "I haven't heard Yang Guo mention you before?" Zhang Xinyu said with a hint of a smile, looking at Lin Mo with her proud eyes.

  "Yang Guo, come here and tell me, who do you like?" Lin Miao suddenly turned into a fierce tigress, with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out.

  "Yo yo yo, why are you sticking out your chest, trying to show off how big it is?" On the side, Zhang Xin Yu also fell into the wind, deliberately bulging up that lump on her chest.

  The schemes between women are too vicious, I couldn't help but sigh that even the old ghosts who have lived for thousands of years can't bear to look straight at them.

  "You city folks really know how to have fun." Lao Gui said speechlessly.

  On one side, it was chaotic with flying chickens and eggs, while on the other side, Mao Shi Jiu and Li Jian Tian were still searching for a way out of the maze.

  On the other side, Cao Jingjiu looked like he was dizzy from being lost in the maze, but suddenly stopped and seemed to have sensed something. After thinking for a moment, he took out a pair of red candles from his bag and lit them up. The red candles emitted some black smoke, which floated out like it had a life of its own, leaving behind a trail. Cao Jingjiu followed the smoke and soon walked out of the maze, arriving at the grand hall I had visited before.

  Mao Shi Jiu was also in the grand hall, looking around everywhere. Finally, his footsteps stopped at the last two paintings on the corridor. The second to last one was Lin Mo's painting of a boat, and the last one was a painting of me sinking into the sand. Mao Shi Jiu felt that this place was even more eerie, walked to the center of the grand hall, took out five copper coins (five ghost coins), arranged them in a circle, took out a piece of paper gold and a paper ghost armor, burned them into ashes, used a bowl to hold them, then poured water into the bowl, and finally overturned it onto the ground of the grand hall.

  "I invite the five ghosts, the five ghost generals, the majestic and powerful Yin soldiers, to drive out the evil spirits. Return to the altar and receive punishment, hurry up, ghosts, hurry up, humans, drive out the evil spirits, order the evil soldiers and generals to come out and be executed, lock them up, bind them, make their minds crazy and confused, talk nonsense, not knowing human affairs, all over their bodies like a burning fire. I obey the orders of Yin Mountain Old Ancestor, urgent, urgent, as if it were a law." Ma Shi Jiu had never recited such a long incantation before, showing how tricky this matter was for him.

  As soon as the incantation was finished, the water in the bowl formed a stream and flowed out. Everything in the great hall began to change. The nine pillars turned into sand and slowly peeled off. The ground started shaking, and sand kept falling from the top of the great hall. The entire building began to turn into sand and disappear.

  "This friend of yours has a bit of skill, I'll go to the meeting myself." The old ghost saw that Mao Shi Jiu had actually broken his maze, stirring up the fighting spirit in his heart.

  After finishing speaking, the old ghost disappeared.

  On the other hand, Li Jian Tian had not yet escaped the maze and was blocked outside by layers of earthen walls. However, with his many years of police experience, he did not feel flustered but instead used his usual method of trial and error, and indeed it was still that old habit of his, no wonder he hadn't been promoted in all these years.

  Li Jian Tian is still stupidly looking for a way out, while Mao Shi Jiu's side is wonderful.

  Mao nineteen was now in a sea of flames, similar to the situation when he was in medical school, an evil eye emerged from the fire.

  "You will never be able to beat me. You are a loser, you can't even get out of this place, and you don't even have the chance to see my true form, hahaha." The evil eye struck Mao Shi Jiu, and in an instant, his face turned pale. He must have thought that this Deserted Maze City was also one of the ghosts that had humiliated him three times before.

  Just as Cao Zhen was about to go up and avenge his grievances, the illusion changed again.

  On Ghost Street, a man in black clothes entered his ghost business shop, only to see the back of him, unable to make out his face. He left behind a note that read: "Provoking ghosts will lead to being possessed by them." Mao Shi Jiu was thoroughly enraged and felt humiliated once again.

  It changed again. On the street shaded by trees, Mao Shi Jiu was watching himself and others competing in magic, finally breaking his magic tool and losing very thoroughly.

  Three illusions kept repeating, and Mao Shiying finally couldn't bear it. Such a great humiliation, as the successor of the Mao Mountain Taoist, was absolutely unbearable.

  "That's enough!" Mao shouted wildly, covering his head with his hands.

  Cao Jing Yu, such a proud person, was almost driven mad by this illusion. But our group of people were overjoyed, letting him be so arrogant and pretentious all the time. Especially Zhang Xin Yu had already laughed to the point where her mouth couldn't close.

  Just as we were laughing with joy, a terrifying scene appeared.

  Cao Jingyu painfully pulled out a knife from his bundle.

  "Old devil, stop him!" I shouted hastily.

  "No!" Zhang Xinyu shouted loudly at the same time.

  But everything is too late now, the old devil can't stop it at all. A wave of regret surged in my heart, I shouldn't have let the old devil deal with him, this joke has gone too far.

  But what's astonishing is that Mao Shi Jiu merely picked up the knife and made a small cut on his arm, and fresh blood quickly flowed out. However, Mao Shi Jiu now seems to be more clear-headed. He was only using pain to dispel the illusion, not trying to end it all, fortunately it was just a false alarm.

  Calmly, Mao Shi Jiu closed his eyes and stopped listening or looking. Before long, the illusions disappeared on their own, and a majestic figure appeared in Mao Shi Jiu's line of sight. Indeed, it was Lao Gui Wen Zhong.

  "Welcome to the Deserted City of Sand, from now on, you are a resident here." The old ghost's words were exactly the same as what he said to me for the first time.

  "You've finally appeared, you ghostly thing." Mao Shi Jiu thought it was that ghostly thing from before.

  "I am not the monster you said I was, I am Wen Zhong, a man of Shang Dynasty with both power and wisdom, as well as good looks. I am also the master of this Deserted Mirage City." The old ghost seemed to be very excited, was it because so many people came to accompany him?

  "Open Heaven's Eye." Mao Shi Jiu could see that he was a ghost, but couldn't see what kind of cultivation he had achieved, so he used the Dao method to probe.

  As a result, Mao's nineteenth forehead hurt, and the Taoist ritual was unsuccessful and was broken.

  "I don't care if you're human or a ghost, I'll settle with you today." Mao Shi Jiu pulled out a Qian Kun bag from his bundle.

  "Capture the ghost, capture the soul, soldier." Mao Shi Jiu held up a Qian Kun bag towards the old ghost.
