Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 420 New Northern Ghosts and Gods
Seeing the souls of Ma Dong and Niu Er in front of him, Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although their minds are now blinded, why do their souls look like this after death, with the heads of bulls and horses on their heads?"

The ghost king with the sword thought for a while, and then said: "It should be that the bandits chopped off their heads when they met bandits. If they couldn't find their heads, someone chopped off the bull's head and the horse's head and gave it to Niu Er and Ma Dong. Please, lest they die without a head and become a headless ghost, you must know that after all the evil spirits and ghosts, only the headless ghost is the most miserable."

"Headless means that you can't eat incense, you can't improve your morality, and you can't eat offerings from your relatives. It's a hundred times worse than a starving ghost. Only by connecting a head and being a headed ghost can the situation be improved. Ma Dong and Niu Second, although you have the head of a cow or a horse, it is better than being a headless ghost."

Li Xiuyuan sighed: "Maybe this is the so-called God's will. I beheaded the two gods of Shoushan and Genyue. The evil spirits and ghosts in the north have no one to manage and guard them. Ma Dong and Niu Er died at this moment. They became headless ghosts and were replaced by others." With the bull's head and horse's head, they will inherit the incense and the responsibilities."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Let Ma Dong and Niu share the incense left by these two mountain gods to wake them up."

"Yes, son."

The sword-wielding ghost king looked at Ma Dong and Niu Er with envy.

I didn't get such a good treatment when I was a human being, but I didn't expect to get such an opportunity after becoming a ghost.

The two mountain gods Shoushan and Genyue left behind a lot of incense after their death, and they are all over the mountains and plains. If they swallow them, they will immediately become a ghost king, at least they will not be much worse than the ghost king.

But the sword-wielding ghost king didn't dare to covet it, so he honestly gathered all the incense in Yin Qi, and approached Ma Dong and Niu Er.

Although Ma Dong and Niu Er were unconscious, they instinctively smoked incense as ghosts by their side.

But they saw the horse head and the cow head opened their mouths, a gust of wind howled, and the nearby incense was immediately swallowed into their stomachs.

Afterwards, their souls solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their bodies gradually became larger, more burly and powerful.

After eating the incense, there was an earth-shaking change in the soul immediately.

When the incense burnt away, Ma Dong and Niu Er could no longer see the appearance of ghosts. Although they were wearing a bull's head and a horse's head, their bodies were more than ten feet tall, and their bodies had condensed a mighty and extraordinary appearance. armor.

Standing there at this moment is like a god, which is daunting.

"Ma Dong Niu Er, since you have obtained the incense and achieved the position of ghosts and gods, don't wake up quickly." The ghost king holding the sword suddenly opened his mouth and roared, and immediately the wind howled and the air was heavy.

After being yelled at, Ma Dong and Niu Er's bewildered eyes suddenly flashed, and they regained their senses.

"Where is this place? I remember that I was fighting with that group of thieves and bandits before, sir, master, why are you here?" Ma Dong was shocked when he saw Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course I am here, don't you guys remember what happened before? You are no longer a human, you are already a ghost."

As he said that, he roughly talked about what happened before.

"Eldest young master, how do you say that the two of us are already dead, and have become ghosts like Tieshan?"

Niu Er shook the huge bull's head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"This is natural, and you are not ordinary ghosts. You are already ghosts and gods with Taoism. The two of you shared the incense left by the two mountain gods after death. At least your Taoism has surpassed ghost generals, and your skills may be even better than Iron Mountain. be taller."

Li Xiuyuan said with a sigh: "It's because I didn't arrange it well. If I let Xing Shan go with me, this kind of thing wouldn't happen."

Xing Shan is a sharpshooter. With a big bow and a pot of arrows in hand, he can easily shoot and kill dozens of bandits.

It's just that he still needs the help of a master like Xing Shan by his side, so he didn't send him there.

"It's because the two young people are not good at martial arts, and they can't beat bandits. How can you blame the young master for his poor arrangement, and there is nothing wrong with being a ghost. There is not much difference between dead and alive. I'm not used to it, I don't know who replaced us with the heads of cows and horses." Ma Dong touched his head, feeling a little annoyed.

But Niu Er said: "It's better to have a brain than to have no brains. There's nothing special about being a ghost. It's a pity that the time to be a ghost is too early, and I can't continue to serve the young master."

Li Xiuyuan said: "No, you are already ghosts and gods after you get the incense. Even reincarnation is not so easy. You need to build merit and repay this incense. I have a task for you now. I hope you don't shirk it."

"The young master's order, how dare the young one shirk it." Niu Er said with some panic.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the north and said: "I have achieved initial results in governing ghosts and gods in the south, but I will definitely govern the north in the future. The north needs someone to be responsible for arresting evil spirits and ghosts. I want to entrust the responsibility to you two."

"The north is so big, I'm afraid the two young people won't be able to catch it." Ma Dong said.

"Can you subdue some evil spirits and ghosts for your own use, take your time, don't worry, I will arrange people from the Escort Bureau to build a temple somewhere in the north, and make god statues for you to stay temporarily, and I will also send some ghosts and gods to the north to assist you. "Li Xiuyuan said.

He felt that it was much better for Ma Dong and Niu Er to stay in the north to develop and grow than to follow him to Guobei County.

There is no shortage of manpower there, but here he does not have the slightest influence.

"Since the elder master has spoken, how dare the two younger ones disobey." Ma Dong clasped his fists and responded without thinking.

"Don't worry, even though you are dead, my Li family will take care of your wives and children and will not let your wives and children suffer." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, young master."

Ma Dong and Niu Er clasped their hands, and the worries in their hearts disappeared.

They are very relieved of the young master's promise.

"I've been out of my body for a long time. I have to go back. I'll leave the north to you. When you have free time, I will give my family a dream. By the way, I will get familiar with how to be a ghost. You stay here for a month to teach They will go to Li Zhong in the underworld in a month." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, the kid understands." The sword-wielding ghost said kingly.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "Both of you, be careful in everything. Since you are a ghost, you must be responsible for it."

After finishing speaking, he soared into the air, ready to leave.

But suddenly he thought of something again, and said again: "Since you are already ghosts and gods, you must have names. The two of you are surnamed Niu Ma, and now you are wearing two heads of Niu Ma, and you will be called Niu Tou and Ma Mian in the future. I hope you can do it." Make a name for yourself in the north, and in the future, when ghosts hear your name, there will be no one without fear."

After speaking, he turned into a ray of purple light and disappeared into the distant sky.

"Ox head? Horse face? Isn't this name not loud enough?" Ma Dong touched his weird horse face and said with some resentment.

The sword-wielding ghost king smiled: "No matter how ordinary a name is, it will become different because of your prestige. You have captured all the evil spirits and ghosts in the northern land. This is a great merit. As long as you keep doing it, you guys Future achievements are far above those gods in Tiangong."

"No way, can we be stronger than gods?" Niu Er was a little surprised.

For them, the gods in the sky are the supreme existence.

The ghost king with the sword said: "Of course, when the gods are about to die, when they die, that is when people forget them. If you catch ghosts, in the future, no one in the world will know your name, and your name will spread. , remembering your names, you are the everlasting ghosts and gods, as long as there are people dying in the world, your positions will always exist, and the bull's head and horse face will never die. This is more powerful than ordinary people who become gods Many ghosts and gods who are waiting are afraid that the incense will be cut off and the temple will be destroyed."

"Although the beginning is a bit difficult, the saints in the world have great expectations of you."

Speaking of this, the ghost king holding the sword couldn't help being envious and emotional.

The concept of human-god co-governance of saints in the world is spread, and ghosts and gods who can find positions will surely be able to prosper in the future, which is why ghosts and gods in the four directions are willing to serve saints in the world.

Tiangong can no longer tolerate wild ghosts and hair gods. Even with his ghost king body, can't he just be a fake Yan Luo?Not even qualified to enter the Heavenly Palace.

"The young master has such high hopes for us, we will definitely not disappoint the young master." Ma Dong said seriously.

Although he is not used to becoming a ghost just now, but the young master's orders must be faithfully carried out.

Late at night.

A ray of purple air came from the north and fell into the Li family's mansion in Guobei County.

Li Xiuyuan's physical body immediately opened his eyes and woke up, and then he felt an indistinct tiredness.

It was a while before he came out of his body, and he beheaded the two gods of Shoushan and Genyue, and ordered Ma Dongniu to do something. With his current body of spirit and soul, he still can't stand the consumption.

After all, it is not as good as those practitioners who have attained the Tao. Their souls can roam the sea without restraint. If they can achieve the position of immortal, they will be able to get rid of the troubles of the physical body and completely escape the world.

"Master, you are awake, you have been sleeping for a long time."

Xiaodie's head popped out of her bosom suddenly, as if she had sensed the movement of the man beside her.

Li Xiuyuan looked around, but found that he was lying on the bed, had already changed and washed, presumably Chunhua was taking care of him.

"Yeah, I've slept for a long time, and the more I sleep, the more tired I get." He smiled and said, "Why, haven't you slept yet?"

"The slave is waiting for the young master to come back."

Xiaodie suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, showing a somewhat charming posture, and stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around the man's neck.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiu's heart throbbed, he quickly settled down and said: "Today, you must not seduce me, I"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that delicate body close to him, and he hurriedly got away, got up and walked out without looking back.

"Master, where are you going?" Xiaodie puffed up her face and said with some resentment.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Go to the study and meditate until dawn."

Don't dare to stay with this pestering Xiaodie, otherwise I won't be able to wake up tomorrow.
