The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 306
Jiamengguan is one of the largest cities in the world.

Originally, it was guarding one side for Yin and Shang and defending the Xiongguan from various princes. However, after Xiqi captured Chaoge and Ji Fa became the emperor of Zhou, all the princes in Kyushu surrendered. This Xiongguan has lost its power now. Meaning, there is no need to garrison so many troops anymore, and it simply becomes a large city with a large population.

However, when the Xiqi army conquered Wuguan, a series of battles took place here, and countless soldiers were killed in battle.

In addition, in the past ten years or so, when Yin Shang was at war with Xiqi, they would recruit soldiers and horses from here from time to time, and dispatched elite soldiers and powerful generals. Therefore, even with the prosperity of Jiamengguan, it seems a bit sluggish at this time. .

After all, it is not long since Emperor Zhou ascended the throne. Even if there is no war between the human races and all parties are cultivating their health, it will not be able to return to their original state in a short time.

The atmosphere in Jiamengguan City has become a bit weird recently. The people in the city have already closed their doors and locked the doors and windows before dark every day. Every evening, before nightfall, the streets are almost empty. no one.

This situation made Jiamengguan, which was much more depressed than before, even more dilapidated, even a little weird.

It's not that the newly appointed officials in the inner city don't want to manage this Guancheng well, it's that they have no choice.

Because, Jiamengguan has been haunted recently.

Every night after nightfall, there will be lonely ghosts wandering around. They have been bumped into by people more than once, and even many people were killed because of this. The yang energy in the body was absorbed by the ghosts. dead.

That's why it's not dark every day, and the whole Guancheng has become as quiet as if it has fallen into a ghost land.

The officials of the city lord's mansion also called for an expert to subdue the ghosts, hoping to restore Jiamengguan to its previous state.

However, the so-called high-level people he found were not so high in Taoism, and the ghosts hadn't been caught yet, but they were caught by ghosts.

Nowadays, several casual Qi practitioners who have been invited have been killed, so some Qi practitioners who think that their morality is not enough, no longer dare to accept the invitation of the Chengzhong Mansion easily to earn those money.

It is said that those ghosts came from the mass graves in the west of the city.

In the city, ghosts will only appear after dark, but the mass graves in the west of the city, even in the daytime, are gloomy and foggy, full of ghosts, gray, and there is no sunlight at all.

Some people say that there are Yin Shang generals who died in battle, and the souls of a group of soldiers under their command did not want to go to the underworld and reincarnate, so they entrenched in the mass graves and wandered around the world.

Others say that it is the burial place of people who have died tragically over the years, and because of the heavy yin, many ghosts and monsters were born.

And because there were too many tragic deaths in the previous battles, the resentment was soaring and the ghosts were full of troubles, which made those ghosts rush out of the mass graves and come to the city to harm people.

Anyway, there were different opinions, and there was an uproar all of a sudden, and the people were even more panic-stricken.

Officials of the city lord's mansion hired skilled and skilled people to catch ghosts and monsters, and at the same time sent people to report to the emperor, asking the court to send capable people to help.

After all, when the Ji family and Yin Shang were fighting for the world, there were many more bizarre things than this. If Xiqi won the victory, what is this mere ghost?
When Ji Fa received the report, he immediately thought of Jiang Ziya about such ghosts and gods.

However, Jiang Ziya had already gone to his fiefdom, far away in Qi State, and the distance was far away. By the time Ji Fa sent people to Qi State to meet Jiang Ziya, a lot of time had passed.

But after Jiang Ziya saw Ji Fa's edict, he refused it without even thinking about it.

Just kidding, he is not so good, and at such an old age, after going through several life and death, he finally survived the catastrophe of conferring gods, and helped your Ji family win the world, and now he has just begun to enjoy his wealth in the world, Just let him fight ghosts again?
Now Jiang Ziya doesn't have the Xinghuang flag to protect him, and he doesn't have the protection of the teaching disciples around him. If he is beaten to death again now, he will really die, and no one will rescue him again.

So how dare he provoke those powerful ghosts now.

However, it was the emperor's edict after all, so he had no choice but to reply, so he sent someone to tell Ji Fa that you are now the true son of heaven, the lord of the world. Come to help.

As for how Ji Fa planned to sacrifice after receiving his reply, Jiang Ziya didn't care.

Now he just wants to spend his happy old age in peace, and it is best to have some offspring to continue Jiang's incense.

Otherwise, when his life span came to an end, wouldn't it mean that no one would inherit his title of Marquis of Qi.

When he thought of the continuation of the incense and the birth of heirs, the old man didn't know why, but he thought of a thing called money and meat that was quite popular in Chaoge City in his early years.

Cough... I don't know how this thing works?

However, since it has been touted so much, the price has remained high until now, and it has miraculous effects if you think about it, do you want to give it a try? !
…………

Jiamengguan, south of the city.

A few shadows wandered in a small alley.

There was silence on both sides of the alley, and there was no sound.

Just as these shadows were drifting across the street with a blank expression, and when they were about to turn a corner, suddenly, a child's voice came from behind a door: "Grandpa, grandpa, look, there are several people outside. Uncle is so strange... huh huh?"

Before he finished speaking, someone covered his mouth.

However, it was too late, the child's voice had already attracted the attention of those shadows.

They turned their heads slowly.

He really turned his head, without moving his body, his head turned to the back, looking towards the door.

There was a bang, and the door was blocked tightly with all kinds of things from the inside.

In the room, a white-haired old man nervously covered his grandson's mouth, signaling him not to speak, and at the same time used all the things that could be used to block the door.

The old man's son had already died in battle when the Xiqi soldiers and horses attacked them, and now they are left to depend on each other.

It's just that the child was young and playful, just when the old man was making the bed and preparing to rest, the child saw through the crack of the door that there were a few light figures passing by the door, which immediately aroused the child's curiosity and made a noise.

The old man took all the things in the house that could be used to block the door, but he was still panicked.

He himself is getting old, and he has reached the time when he knows his destiny, and he is already bearish on matters of life and death.

But his grandson is still young, and he needs to inherit the family's incense in the future, so the old man doesn't want anything to happen to his grandson anyway.

The old man looked around in a daze, trying to find something to seek a sense of security.

Until he saw the simple stove in the corner, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he knew it might not be useful, but for peace of mind, he came to the stove and prayed to the statue of the Kitchen God engraved on the stove.

While murmuring softly, the old man turned his head and looked towards the door, hoping that the blocked door could block the ghosts outside.

However, ghosts are originally illusory soul bodies, so how can this mere vulgar thing stop them.

Sure enough, when the ghosts outside the door saw that there was no way to enter, they turned into black smoke and sneaked in through the gap in the door.

The old man yelled in horror, picked up a fire stick in his hand, and protected his little grandson behind his back.

After smelling the breath of a living person, the eyes of these ghosts were all bright with green lights, and they looked at the old man and the little grandson who was guarded by him behind him.

They are all ghosts turned into ghosts by people who died unjustly in their early years, and they have lingering resentment in their hearts. After turning into ghosts, they have a lot of hostility and hate the world deeply.

It's just that it was the four generals of the Mo family who guarded Jiamengguan in the early years. These four are not weak in cultivation, and they also have powerful magic weapons to help them. With their brothers sitting in the guard, there is no chance for these ghosts to come out.

Although there was a ghost king in the mass grave in the west of the city in the early years, before he had time to come out to cause disaster, Mo Lihai, the third of the four generals of the devil family, twitched the pipa lightly a few times, and gave the ghost king to him. Shocked to death.

Later, in order to prevent ghosts from coming out to make troubles, they even set up restrictions outside the mass graves, so in the past so many years, no ghosts have dared to come out to make troubles.

Until Xiqi's soldiers and horses attacked, countless casualties were caused by successive battles.

Not only the soldiers of Jiamengguan, but also many soldiers and horses of Xiqi also died in Jiamengguan.

After all, in order to avenge the apprentice, the Holy Mother of the Fire Spirit had several battles with the disciples of Chanjiao.

Even with the help of the soldiers and horses of Jiamengguan, they trained a fire dragon Taoist soldier who can control the samadhi fire.

These Dao soldiers were not something ordinary soldiers could resist. After several battles, they brought countless casualties to Xiqi's side.

So many people died tragically in a short period of time, and even many people outside the city were also affected. Many unclaimed corpses were directly thrown into mass graves for hasty burial.

As a result, because there were too many dead people, the yin and grievances in this mass grave increased greatly. As time passed, a ghost world finally formed. , You can hear the howling of ghosts from time to time.

There are even some vicious ghosts who came out of the mass graves at night and followed the road to Jiamengguan to absorb the yang energy of living people and strengthen their morality.

This led to Jiamengguan's terrified scene.

"chatter..."

When the ghosts saw the grandparent and grandson, they burst out laughing and rushed towards them, intending to absorb the yang energy from them.

It's just that the old man is old and frail, and he doesn't look like he can live for many years. The yang energy in his body is like a candle in the wind, flickering, so these ghosts are not too interested in the old man, but Most of them were little boys who jumped behind the old man.

Not only because this child has a pure aura and abundant yang energy, but also because he is young and has no strength to resist, so he can be easily captured by them.

Suddenly, just as these ghosts were about to pounce in front of the grandparent and grandson, the old man waved the fire stick in his hand in despair, trying to stop him, when he saw a burst of flames rising from the god statue carved on the stove behind them .

Then the flames slammed and turned into a figure in a divine robe.

"Bold!"

Seeing a few fierce ghosts intending to kill people, Qi Yuan immediately yelled.

Following this violent shout, a burst of Ling Ran's divine power erupted, and the horrified ghosts suddenly trembled, not caring about the grandparent and grandson, they turned around and were about to run away.

With a wave of Qi Yuan's big hand, several flames split out, and they rushed to these ghosts in an instant.

"what……"

Li Gui screamed out, feeling his soul body rapidly melting under the flame.

The leader of a fierce ghost still retained a bit of his sanity before he was alive, and shouted: "God, please forgive me..."

Qi Yuan snorted coldly, but he didn't mean to let them go at all.

After death, most of the souls go to the underworld to be reincarnated, and most of them are attached to the human world and do not want to leave, and most of them have some special reasons.

Or because they are reluctant to let go of their loved ones and have unresolved concerns. This kind of ghosts are okay, and generally they don't take the initiative to harm others.

Just like the headless ghost that Qi Yuan met in Chentangguan back then, he was killed because of an accident, he was concerned about his wife and children at home, and his bones were abandoned in the wilderness, so he wandered in the world, but the headless ghost Although it looks scary, it shows no signs of harm.

Unlike the ghosts in front of Qi Yuan, who blatantly mutilated the living, they were obviously resentful people. If they were let go, more innocent people would definitely be mutilated by them in the future.
