Chapter 36: The King of Living Ghosts

  The wound is actually starting to heal, and my arm is gradually regaining sensation, I can even move my fingers a little. I'm getting excited in my heart.

  The light grew stronger and stronger, the green nail polish on my hand also disappeared, my complexion returned to normal, and I felt like a completely new person.

  The little ghost stopped, withdrew her small hand, and looked up at me with a childish but yearning gaze.

  "Living ghost, you'd better go back now. The paper money will be burned later." Chang Bai Cao spoke up.

  That living ghost didn't pay attention to him and still stared at me with an unblinking gaze, without any intention of leaving.

  "Living ghost, detained soul order stop, if you don't go back now, you will never be able to return." Chang Bai Cao was somewhat unhappy.

  The living ghost looked at me with an expectant face, I completely didn't understand what he meant, staring blankly at Chang Bai Cao.

  "He wants to follow you. Your body is really good at attracting ghosts." Chang Baicao said.

  But I already have two, one is Chang Ai'ai and the other is my sister, do I still need to bring a little devil? But he saved my life, how can I refuse him. I'm also getting a headache!

  Sheng Gui had just heard Chang Bai Cao finish speaking and nodded heavily, he really wanted to follow me. The expectant look in his eyes was truly hard to refuse.

  "Alright." I thought it's just right that my sister has a companion now.

  "Sister, come out and see if you like this little brother?" I asked softly into my sleeve.

  "Okay, okay, from now on I'll be your sister." Ah Mei excitedly stretched out her mouse head.

  "Little brother, you are so cute!" Ah Mei was overjoyed.

  The living ghost suddenly shuddered, he was frightened by Ah Mei.

  "Haha, you're so timid!" Ah Mei chuckled.

  The young ghost seemed to have taken an interest, staring at the field mouse in my sleeve with her big, cute eyes, and couldn't resist reaching out to touch its head.

  "Don't touch me, don't touch me, it's so annoying." Ah Mei pouted, looking very displeased.

  "Little friend, I must warn you that if you want to raise a living spirit, you absolutely cannot let it come into contact with polluted blood. Otherwise, the living spirit will be contaminated and no one will know whether it's good or evil," said Chang Bai Cao.

  I nodded.

  "Look, Li Dong has had an adverse reaction to Shi Ling's move." Chang Baicao suddenly exclaimed.

  Li Dong's face was covered in sweat, his complexion pale, and his forehead black. The ghost had invaded his body, and Li Dong was suffering from unbearable torture that ordinary people could hardly endure.

  "The pain of being possessed by a hundred ghosts is more unbearable than the eighteen layers of hell. Now, it's only the first ghost that has entered my body, but later on, even one's spirit will be torn apart. The suffering is enough to take one's life. Most people die a painful death in this process."

  On the side, Mao Shi Jiu was even more anxious, so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around in circles.

  One after another, the second one, the third one... invaded his body, and Li Dong was already in so much pain that he was paralyzed on the ground, looking like it hurt even more than childbirth!

  "You guys just kill me with one knife." Li Dong said suddenly, he couldn't bear such pain anymore.

  "Master brother, you must hold on! Half of it has already passed." Li Dong had already considered it a miracle that he had endured half of it, and Mao Shi Jiu was encouraging him.

  I'm also anxious in my heart, after all, Master Bo entered the hundred ghosts for me. Although we've only known each other for a few days, it can be seen that he is still a man with feelings and righteousness.

  The living ghost made a murmuring sound, and I looked down at it. The living ghost seemed to have something to say, but its murmurs were incomprehensible to me.

  "What is he talking about?" I asked Mao Shi Jiu.

  Cao Jingyu took out a yellow paper and burned it in front of the living ghost. The yellow paper was reduced to ashes, but immediately reappeared in the living ghost's hand. Cao Jingyu then lost another brush pen, which also quickly reappeared. It seemed that Cao Jingyu wanted the living ghost to write something down for them to see. The living ghost widened its eyes, thought for a moment, and began to write. It wrote a string of ghostly characters that no one could understand.

  Mao Shi Jiu took out a book called "Ghost Stories", the name was quite good, a play on words! Mao Shi Jiu looked through the book, searching for ghost language, and finally found a passage.

  "I can save him."

  Everyone was shocked for a moment, and Li Dong seemed to have been saved. Now he has reached the extreme and is on the verge of collapse.

  "Save him quickly." Mao Shi Jiu said anxiously, but the living ghost didn't move at all, just staring at me, as if waiting for my intention.

  "You go save him." I nodded.

  The resurrected ghost seemed very happy, walking happily to Li Dong's front, touching Li Dong's forehead with his hand, and another burst of light came out.

  The bright light had just risen from his forehead, illuminating the various forms of the hundred ghosts. The ghosts were mischievously eroding Li Dong's spirit, and the hundred ghosts had just been enveloped by the light, trying to rush out of his body in a frantic manner, each one competing with the others. Those ghosts that lagged behind instantly vanished under the illumination of the bright light.

  Soon, all the ghosts came out of Li Dong's body, and Li Dong suddenly felt much lighter, panting heavily, his face as pale as death, with bloodshot eyes like a tangled spider web.

  The living ghost let go of his hand and leaned against me with a sly smile.

  At this time, everyone around was already stunned, and the invasion of the hundred ghosts had healed him in such a way. This ability is too perverted.

  "Living ghost, you're too formidable. From now on, follow me and I'll be your boss." After careful consideration, having such a formidable ghost would mean that no matter what kind of ghost is encountered in the future, one can emerge unscathed.

  The newborn ghost bounced up and down on the spot, looking extremely cute, and it was clear that he was a little excited.

  "Who are you?" Chang Baicao suddenly became alert and took a step back to ask.

  "What's wrong?" asked Mao Shi Jiu.

  "He's not a living ghost, it's impossible for a living ghost to drive away hundreds of ghosts. He is the king of ghosts, I've lived for so many years and only saw him once during the great chaos in the underworld when all the ghosts invaded the world of the living. The king of ghosts led the ghosts to suck human blood and eat human flesh. At that time, corpses were everywhere, creating countless lonely souls and wild ghosts. The king of ghosts' ability is extremely fierce, he can kill people with just a flip of his hand. Chang Baicao remains vigilant against living ghosts."

  The living ghost still looked at me with a silly and cute expression, with an air of being the only one in the world. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva solemnly, if the living ghost was really the king of ghosts, wouldn't I be eaten alive by him? I took a look at the harmless appearance of the living ghost, and my heart felt a chill.

  "He is the King of Ghosts." At this time, a weak voice came from Li Dong's direction, yes, it was Li Dong who was speaking.

  Just as I finished speaking, Muo 19 and Chang Baicao were all startled and almost jumped up.

  "But he is not an evil spirit, he is the king of living spirits." The voice added.

  "The King of the Living Demons? This is no ordinary demon, the Living Demon clan holds a high position and influence in the demon world. Being able to become the King of the Living Demons is equivalent to being a prime ministerial official in the demon court." said Chang Bai Cao.

  What I'm worried about now is not this, but whether he will eat me up. I won't install a timed bomb that may explode at any time on my body.

  Li Dong said, looking dazed, as he struggled to get up from the ground, "He told me that he is the king of the living dead. The probability of us capturing him was low, but it's not like that. He actually took advantage of the opportunity to sneak out quietly. He hasn't been a king for long, and although he doesn't look old, he's also an antique, probably having lived for countless years."

  The living ghost kept staring at me, as if I had flowers embroidered on my face.

  "Every time the Demon King appears in the mortal world, there will definitely be a bloody storm, even if he is good, it's impossible to escape this rule." Chang Baicao said.

  "How did you know?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "It has already begun, and he is just a later batch. The second yin-yang turmoil has started, and the appearance of the King of Living Ghosts must have increased the stakes for the righteous side. In order to counter the evil side, it's possible that Little Friend is the controller of the righteous way."

  Me? I was taken aback, how could it be me? As a medical student, how can I possibly control the righteous way?

  "Wait till later, you'll know then, this world is going to be in chaos, the heavens are going to change, white clouds and dark dogs. Chang Bai Cao said."

  "How did you know?" I asked in puzzlement.

  "Look at what's inside?" Chang Bai Cao pointed to the room inside, I saw a few transparent people sitting over there waiting.

  "Are they all ghosts? Did you hear from their mouths that it's going to rain?" I asked.

  "They all came to see the doctor."

  "What? Ghosts can get sick too? And they need human doctors?" I was really scared by the system of the Yin world.

  "People have human diseases, ghosts have ghostly diseases. Is it really important whether the doctor is a human or a ghost?" Chang Baicao's words were quite open-minded and made me suddenly think that as a Taoist, I should exorcise ghosts, but I also had to go out of my way to rescue people who are dying or injured.

  Should I save people or kill ghosts? My heart is filled with contradictions, and for a moment, I couldn't distinguish between right and wrong. The ghosts all have grievances, and we've been killing them indiscriminately, accumulating more and more resentment. If it's not resolved in this life, it will eventually erupt in another lifetime.

  Can I link my profession with that of a Taoist? Like Chang Bai-san, who treats ghosts as patients, but with a different approach - to dispel the grievances of the ghosts. This is the turning point in my life, and my thoughts have been verified in the subsequent river of life.

  "I'm leaving, I'm going to find her." Unexpectedly, Li Dong's dormant feelings for the woman were rekindled, and he wanted to find her.

  "Master brother, slow down, we two brothers will have another drink next time." Their emotions were all revealed in the exchange of their eyes.

  Li Dong lost his broken bowl and gourd, and set out on a new journey of searching.

  There is no banquet in the world that does not disperse, Li Dong will eventually return with his beloved.

  "We should go too." said Mao Shi Jiu.

  I nodded and asked Mao 19 to take out a piece of jade, which I used to seal the living ghost inside.

  Before we left, Changbai Cao said a sentence.

  "There are only two days left until the Ghost Festival, the ghost gate is open, and the king of ghosts has lost his way, he will definitely come to your door, you must be careful!"
