I light incense to worship the gods

He tightened his grip on my neck, and I watched the vortex on the upper right keep growing in size, ready to swallow up the entire room.

"Ah..." That heart-wrenching feeling came over me again, but this time it was too great. I screamed out and lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a bed. The surrounding environment was very dark, with only a dim candle swaying by the bedside. I felt confused, where is this?

I struggled to get up and found that I had been put on clean clothes. At this time, I noticed a person sitting in the corner of the room. His back was turned to me. He looked at the thin figure and looked like he should be a child.

"You are..." I opened my mouth to speak, but found that my throat was extremely dry. "Can you give me a sip of water?"

He turned his head, and a very delicate face appeared in front of me.

I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say for a moment.

But he smiled, "Long time no see, Li Dongdong."

"Oraksha!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said these three words hoarsely.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to still remember me." Erakshasa said slightly surprised, and then told him, "You can't drink the water here. Drinking it will increase the demonic nature in your body. If you are thirsty, just meditate. There will be jade liquid soaking into your throat."

I didn't feel any danger or hostility from him, so I sat on the bed and meditated obediently. Here, I tried my best to let myself go, and then I noticed the changes in myself. Because there have been a lot of things going on recently, and I haven't meditated for a long time, I can only slightly feel some changes in my body, but I didn't realize that the changes were so big.

When I meditate now, I can actually hear sounds hundreds of kilometers around me, and my mind can actually travel around the world and observe the world.

Sure enough, after a while, my throat seemed to be soaked with sweet water, and the hoarse feeling gradually disappeared.

"Oraksha, am I in the realm of hungry ghosts?" I asked.

Because just now I heard the howling sounds of hungry ghosts, and also saw the dark side of the devastation and killing on the ground.

"That's right." Erakshasa replied, "I saved you because I promised a person that if you come, I will help you."

"Who? Lao Ye?" I asked.

Orosha looked at me at this moment, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes, "Of course not, I need to be grateful to her for taking off my demonic nature and returning to the right path, but the time has not come yet, and I still need to stay here."

I was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but wonder, who could make Erakshasa so grateful, and even help him get rid of his demonic nature and return to the right path?

"Who is that person?" I asked with a gossipy face.

"She..." Eraksha hesitated, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore, it's more important to send you out now."

As he said that, he stood up and walked towards me, and I immediately took a cautious step back. Although I know Oraksha doesn't mean any harm, it's always a good idea to be careful.

"You don't need to be afraid." Erakshasa was not angry, but slowed down, "Since I promised to help you, I will not hurt you. There is so much resentment in the world of hungry ghosts, so you'd better go back early."

I stopped immediately and felt a little moved. It turned out that Oraksha really wanted to help me.

But as soon as I heard that there was so much resentment here, I thought of Liu Gensheng. I thought that the Evil King back then had become a climate because of the resentment in the underworld. If he were here, wouldn't it be...

I looked at Erakshasa seriously and said, "When you rescued me, did you see a man in his forties?"

I gave a general description of Liu Gensheng's appearance. Eraksha thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, you were sent here."

"By whom?" I wondered.

Eraksha opened his mouth, but he swallowed the name that was about to blurt out, "Don't worry about it. Is there anything wrong with the person you are talking about?" Even though he didn't say the name, I had a feeling, That person was Ye Zeyi. He disappeared for a long time recently. I couldn't help but ask, "Did my old Ye send me here?"

Oraksha looked at me, neither admitting nor denying, and then asked again, "What happened to the person you mentioned?"

I then explained Liu Gensheng's harm to him.

I didn't tell him too much, I just told him that Liu Gensheng's evil way is to suck people's resentment and hostility. If he gets here, he may quickly become the climate.

Sure enough, after I finished speaking, there was a hint of seriousness in Oraksha's eyes.

"I understand this. I'll take you back first." After he finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Follow me and no hungry ghost will dare to approach you."

Do I want to go back? I think so, but when I think of Ye Zeyi here, I can't feel at ease. Why has Ye Zeyi disappeared for so long recently? What did he do?

Thinking of this, I stopped.

Eraksha turned back to look at me, "Why don't you leave?"

"Take me to Lao Ye." I said stubbornly.

"I don't know where he is." Erakshasa replied, "Follow me quickly. The gate to the hungry ghost world cannot be opened anytime and anywhere."

"I want to find Lao Ye." I still didn't leave and said standing where I was.

Eraksha did not get angry, but instead persuaded him earnestly, "Li Dongdong, we are all doing this for your own good. Can you not be so willful?"

"I don't have many days to live, only a few days, so what's the use of going back?" I asked.

Eraksha hesitated for a moment, with a hint of excitement in his eyes and tone, "You, you want to..."

"Do you know who I am?" I asked.

Eraksha nodded, "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted him because I was afraid that if I said too much, I would betray him. After all, I only saw some things from the past, and I don’t know if those things were true. For Erakshasa These people who have lived for such a long time may have interacted with that Great Emperor of Winter, and they can find out with just a test.

"Forget it, take me to Ye Zeyi." I said in a slightly commanding tone.

This time Oraksha did not reject me, but agreed happily, "Okay."

After that, he turned me around and walked towards a bare mountain covered with steel spikes and sharp knives.

I couldn't help but shiver. Looking at Eraksha's back, I couldn't help but ask, "Eraksha, are you sure that this road can lead me to Ye Zeyi?"

He turned back with a hint of doubt and certainty in his eyes, "Of course, just follow me."

After that, he walked forward.

I stretched my legs, and when I saw that I was about to step on the steel spikes on the mountain, I finally gave in. "Are you sure it's okay to go like this? You won't stab Ye Zeyi to death before I find him, right?"
