Ghost King Landlord

Chapter 52
The small building was filled with the faint scent of Sophora japonica, and the air became quiet. Zheng Xiuxiu sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by petals, looking like a fairy among flowers.

However, the two men in the room did not appreciate such a beautiful scenery too much. Qin Guang slowly lifted the teacup, twirling his thumb and middle finger gently, feeling the delicate wood grain on the surface of the cup, looking at the teacup in the cup. Amber-like tea, silent.

The white-robed man looked at Qin Guang silently for a while, sighed softly, got up and walked to the window, and cast his eyes on the dark night outside the small building.He was silent for a while, then turned his back to Qin Guang and said, "I thought that I had no chance, and I even began to wonder if my persistence for so long was a waste of effort..."

The man in the white robe paused for a moment, and seemed to sigh softly again, his voice became a little low, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone: "I didn't expect to meet you here, but I understand, maybe I missed you." After this time, I will never have another chance..."

He turned around suddenly, staring at Qin Guang firmly and persistently, his gaze was even a little fiery.He paused every word: "I need your help! Not only for me, but also for not letting him do more evil!"

Qin Guang raised his head slowly, shook the scented tea in the cup, took a sip lightly, and said expressionlessly, "How do you know I can help you? Why should I help you?"

The white-robed man stared at Qin Guang seriously, and nodded slowly but firmly: "I met a person from the underworld a long time ago. I don't know who he is, but I can feel it, even in the underworld. His status must be very high!"

Qin Guang raised his eyebrows, and the doubt in his heart was immediately resolved. Originally, he was still wondering why the guy in front of him could perceive his own specialness, but this made some sense.

"I feel an aura similar to his from your body, and..." the white-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "If that aura represents strength in the underworld, you should be stronger than him." powerful!"

"I have been waiting for the people in the underworld to notice the abnormality here, but I have waited for hundreds of years, and I am almost desperate... When you came before, I thought the underworld had finally noticed something, but now I just I understand that's not the case. Although I don't know who you are, but you are indeed alone now, but you have a pure aura of the underworld..."

Qin Guang glanced at him and chuckled lightly: "Just based on this, you think I can help you?"

The white-robed man shook his head, his firm eyes revealed helplessness: "I can only trust you!"

Qin Guang secretly rolled his eyes when he heard the words, thinking that this guy with feelings is a broken pot, he has no choice!All the people who have come here in the past few hundred years, except for themselves, probably will not be able to go out at all, and they will not be able to protect themselves, let alone be willing to help others.

"Why should I help you? You are a demon... No, you are not a demon or a ghost. Even in the underworld, you will be in trouble. I don't want to cause any trouble for no reason." Although Qin Guang came here to save people, But the inhuman guy in front of him is obviously not within the scope of his rescue, so it's not bad if he didn't meddle in his own business and destroy him humanely.

The man in the white robe smiled slightly: "I know, the underworld should have been destroyed, right? Although I don't know what's going on, but no one has noticed the abnormality here for so many years, which can explain the problem. You don't want to help I have nothing to do with the underworld at all."

Qin Guang looked at the white-robed man with pity, and said in his heart that what happened here has been going on for hundreds of years. If you hadn't said it today, no one in the underworld would know about it. The possibility of people discovering it is not too great.

But thinking about how pitiful this guy has been trapped here for hundreds of years, lonely and cold, so Qin Guang didn't have the heart to continue hitting him, just shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't believe you...in fact The easiest and most effective way is to wipe out all the ghosts and ghosts here!"

The man in the white robe was silent, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "How can you help me? Even if you are alone, you can kill him or me, but if I join hands with him, you may not be able to kill me." Have a good time."

With a smile on the corner of Qin Guang's mouth, he pointed to the chair opposite: "Tell me about your affairs, maybe I will change my mind!"

The man in white robe smiled, his smile was as gentle as the warm and intoxicating spring breeze, and he sat down on the chair.He knew that his hard work had finally brought him a chance. Although this chance was very slim and might collapse at any time, it was his only chance.

After arriving in the small building, Qin Guang had already guessed something in his mind. There should be more than one ghost hiding here, and the white-robed man in front of him was indeed not the one who attacked him with illusion and summoned skeletons.

In addition, not knowing the exact strength of the opponent is also one of the reasons why Qin Guang did not act rashly.After all, the hostages are still in the hands of the other party. Even if he is confident that he can kill these little devils, he still has to worry about the safety of those hostages.

The white-robed man sat down opposite Qin Guang, picked up the teapot and refilled the empty cups in front of them, and said slowly: "I have lived for more than 1000 years, and such a life is not considered long among us spirits. , but it’s been a long enough time. Logically speaking, I should have lived enough long ago, and I thought I was going to die soon, but I didn’t expect things to change so much..."

Following the narration of the man in white robe, the historical picture scroll with him as the protagonist slowly unfolded in front of Qin Guang:
All things in the world have spirits, among which human beings are the leader, followed by beasts, and the spirits of plants and trees have always been relatively rare.Among the vegetation, the spirituality of the locust tree is relatively stronger.

The word "早" in the locust tree can be divided into "ghost" next to the tree, and the so-called "ghost" is actually the wood spirit born in the locust tree, that is, the spirit of the locust tree.There have been ghosts and legends about pagoda trees since ancient times, some of them were fabricated, and some of them are true. The ghosts that people see related to pagoda trees are actually the ghosts of pagoda trees.

The body of the man in the white robe is a rather special existence among the locust trees—Yin locust tree!Compared with other locust trees, this locust tree can absorb yin energy more easily, so it is easier to gather spirituality and give birth to wood charm.The man in the white robe suddenly came to this world on a dark and stormy night more than 1000 years ago.

According to him, after he gained consciousness, he has been living on this land.Later, some people gradually appeared here, forming a small village.Later, a wealthy businessman took a fancy to the beautiful scenery here, so he built a courtyard here, and often came to live there for a few days.

Later, the wealthy businessman did not know who he believed, and blamed his failure in business on the locust tree in the yard, thinking that the wall around the yard surrounding the locust tree happened to be a word for "trapped", so This caused difficulties in his own business.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into it. The rich businessman believed that the locust tree in the yard had ruined his fortune, so he was determined to cut down the tree.

Ever since he gained self-awareness, the white-robed man has never thought of harming others, and has always stayed in his own body, quietly observing the surrounding world.But the rich businessman's decision made him feel very frightened, he couldn't figure out why his good behavior would lead to his death.

In the fear of death, the pure land in his heart, which has always been indifferent to the world, had a negative emotion for the first time, and after being nourished by fear, it grew rapidly.

Before dying, his heart was full of resentment, anger, unwillingness... He wanted to break free!He wants revenge!But at that time, he just came into consciousness not long ago, and he was powerless to resist the fate of death. He could only create some gloomy and frightening atmosphere, but it strengthened the determination of the wealthy businessman to get rid of him, and even specially invited a Taoist priest to do it afterwards.

"I don't know why I didn't die, but I discovered another thing... I found that I have become two, two contradictory selves!" When the man in white robe talked about these past events, his expression was very calm. , but from his frown, Qin Guang knew that his heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.

"I thought I was going to die, but for some reason, I found myself split into two, one is the current me, and the other is the one who shot you just now."

"After the split, one of me was the same as before, with kind thoughts in my heart and no competition in the world... and the other me, he absorbed all my anger and resentment, and he became another me that was completely opposite to me."

"After being divided into good and evil, neither of us can convince the other. I can't stop him. He is much stronger than me because of the power of hatred, so I can only watch him kill those villagers and absorb them after death. The Wraith of the Wraith has become even stronger..."

"I thought that after he killed those hundreds of villagers, the place would be peaceful again, and it would be the same as before, without any disturbance from outsiders. But I didn't expect that he would control those villagers, raise them from generation to generation, and raise them It became a sacrifice. Every once in a while, he will let some villagers die in pain, and then absorb their grievances and souls to improve their own strength..."

"The two of us have lived like this for hundreds of years. He has always wanted to kill me and then monopolize this body, but we both understand that we are the same soul. No matter who dies, the other cannot survive. So I always Since then, although he has squeezed the space for my activities, he has not killed me."

The white-robed man looked at Qin Guang and said, "But I don't want to go on like this anymore! For hundreds of years, I can't remember how many people died in front of me, but I can't do anything... I beg you Help me! I don't want him to go on wrong, even if I disappear with him from this world, I don't want to live like this anymore!"
