436, Endless Train 40

When Zhang Zhizhi was eighteen years old, she passed the college entrance examination in Kyoto. Zou Ling wanted to accompany her to study in Kyoto, but she refused: "I can take care of myself. I am an adult." She felt sour in her heart that she passed the exam. , but her dad couldn’t see it.

She has always known that her father is a man with pursuits. She is also proud of her father. She has set great ambitions since she was a child, planning to form a father-daughter ghost-catching team with her father when she grows up and becomes a master. But no more, she no longer has a father.

After her father disappeared and was presumed dead, she was adopted by Uncle Xunchuan. Her father had already made full preparations for her, including a guardian, property, etc.

Zou Ling said: "I just happened to be on my way to attend an ideological and political training class at the Special Committee's headquarters in Kyoto."

Zhang Zhizhi was already at a sensible age. Hearing this, he looked at him with some sympathy. Zou Ling smiled softly: "When are you going to Kyoto one day? Let's buy a plane ticket together."

After Zhang Zhizhi graduated from university, she first took the exam for a position in Qingsui Mountain. It took her ten years to be promoted to elder and participate in the internal management of Qingsui Mountain. Twenty years later, when Taoist priest Xunchuan retired due to illness, she broke out among the Taoist priests and took over. Here comes the fruit of the new leader.

When she was seventy-two years old, she was invited by the Special Committee to predict the country's destiny for the new year. She followed the path of deduction. After she came to prominence, Ha Chengzong, who was good at deduction, also came up behind her, which allowed the Qingsuishan Sect, which had declined due to Zou Chengguang decades ago, to usher in new development. Opportunity. During that deduction, she saw the city of ten thousand ghosts, which was orderly and the cycle of life and death had its pull.

In the same year, the few remaining old Taoist priests and monks with great merit in the country fell into a dream at the same time. In the dream, a ghost king who claimed to be the new owner of the ghost city greeted them and said that the ghost city now takes over the management of guiding dead souls into the underworld and reincarnation. , if you have an accident or important matters to discuss, you can click the Ghost City Deacon Talisman or the Ghost City Great Yin Ghost King Talisman, both of which can be used for communication.

After waking up from the dream, two talismans were left in everyone's mind, both of which were ghost-inviting talismans, as clear as if they were imprinted in their minds.

Zhang Zhizhi also dreamed. She opened her eyes suddenly and her heart beat very fast! She saw a face! A face engraved in her memory, the face that gave her the most peace of mind during her childhood! That is - the self-proclaimed Ghost King of Ghost Town!

Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't help but draw a talisman to invite the Great Yin Ghost King of Ghost City. It took her seven times to draw it successfully! In the end, she vomited a mouthful of blood, which frightened her children and sent her to the hospital. After a physical examination, it was found that the loss was too much and she was deficient in energy and blood. She stayed in the hospital for a week before she was discharged. However, after clicking on the talisman paper, she was not invited. Ghost King, she was so tired that she went to the hospital again.

When she was hospitalized, she had a dream in a coma. She dreamed that when she was a child, her father touched her hair and told her: "Don't ask for more invitations. You are already old. You have been injured in the national game a while ago." Well, if I really come up, you will really go to the ghost town to meet me. Wait a minute, I will definitely not leave until I see you. "

When I woke up, the dream was extremely clear, the action of stroking the head, the careful and earnest instructions... Zhang Zhizhi shed tears and couldn't help crying amidst the confused and anxious inquiries from her children and grandchildren who were guarding the hospital bed.

After she had gone through a long journey in life, bid farewell to her children and grandchildren, and relieved herself of her responsibilities, and stayed in the world of the sun for seven days, she was pulled to a place by a force. It looked like a modern city, with high-rise buildings and bustling traffic and pedestrians.

"Hey, you're new here? Come and report!" Zhang Zhizhi was pulled by a ghost. She suppressed the urge to fight back. Knowing that this was a ghost town pick-up station, she asked: "What are you reporting on?" The person pulling her was a The middle-aged female ghost looked pale and had a sincere smile: "What's your name? Sign here and your information will pop up. After checking, you can get your number and wait in line to be reincarnated."

Zhang Zhizhi wrote her name on a piece of paper. The female ghost took it and burned it. The ashes flew into the quiet pool nearby. Zhang Zhizhi's life experience flashed through the pool quickly, and finally a drop of water splashed onto her hand. She reached out and held it, and the water droplets turned into a jade plaque with her name, year of birth and death written on it, as well as a number ninety.

"Oh, I'm so envious! What a jade card! And you only need to wait in line for eighty-nine ghosts before you can be reincarnated. It's great! You will definitely be cast into a good family!" The female ghost babbled, "I can't do it. I'm in front of you. There are still 1,973,561 people, and it will take a long time to accumulate merit to advance to one place.”

Zhang Zhizhi has long known about the existence of the ghost town, and she also understood the relevant rules and regulations when she fell asleep. However, this was her first time here, and her eyes were full of strangeness.

"You are new here. I have to tell you about the situation here. This is the ghost reception platform. We dead ghosts have to queue up here to wait for reincarnation. It is difficult to reincarnate now and there are not many vacancies. Old sister, when you were alive You must have done a lot of good deeds. It looks like you lived a long life before you died. This pool is called the merit pool. You were a good person in the past, so you will receive benefits after reincarnation..."

She listened to the introduction that the female ghost kept introducing. At this time, another person appeared on the platform next to her. No, it should be said to be a ghost. It was a young male ghost. Under the guidance of the female ghost, he also wrote down his own name, but this time what flew out of the pool of merit were chains, tying up the male ghost. At the same time, a guard in uniform standing next to him grabbed the male ghost and forced him to go another way.

"Oh, that's a new ghost who has committed too many sins during his lifetime and must be tried and served before he can be reincarnated. You can't go that way, you can go this way. The reincarnation platform is over there. Just keep walking and you can find it. You are only on the 90th, so don’t go too far and wait in line first. If you miss it, you will have to wait in line again. There is no way to go through the back door. "

Zhang Zhizhi left from another way. When he looked back, the pool of merit behind him was filled with mist, and new souls appeared on the ghost reception platform.

"Come on and write your name..."

She walked towards the reincarnation platform and looked around. There were tall buildings on the left and right. She tried to go in. The front desk on the first floor was also a ghost. After reading her sign, she said: "You can stay for free, but I suggest you go directly to the reincarnation platform." Well, your number will be available in a few days, so go and find a hotel nearby."

Zhang Zhizhi liked everything about this ghost town. She smiled, and a hot and sad emotion surged in her heart. In recent years, there have been many fewer ghosts left in the Yang world. The ghost-inviting talismans have also been used. The existence of the ghost city has been confirmed, but no living person has actually seen it, and no dead soul can bring news back to the Yang world after seeing the ghost city. Therefore, my understanding of ghost towns is relatively one-sided, and I still feel worried. But as she experienced things along the way, her heart gradually calmed down. Every ghost can be guided here and queue up to wait for reincarnation with peace of mind, so that they will not stay in the world for a long time and become troublesome or ghosts again.

How wonderful.

"Zhizhi." She suddenly heard someone calling her, and she turned around in disbelief, "Dad!" She had lived for 111 years. According to careful calculation, she had not seen her father for nearly a hundred years, but she still recognized him at a glance. out. Time blew away the dust and quickly turned back a hundred years ago. The old lady turned into a child. The tall and thin father bent down and reached out to pick her up: "Hey, there she is."

"I am Shu Lan, your fiancée."

Gu Minglei never imagined that he would have a ghost king fiancée. He nestled in a corner, with lush locust trees in front of him. He was still a little scared, so he continued to squeeze and hide himself deeper.

What's more terrifying than suddenly falling naked into a strange bed? Yes, that is a female ghost saying that you are its fiancé. Holy Mary! He, he, had his first and unrequited love, and had never even held a girl's hand (not counting his three-year-old niece), so how could he have a fiancée?

wrong! Still a ghost!

The female ghost said: "You are right. Do you still remember that you were seriously ill that year and said you would marry me in your next life if you didn't delay me? As soon as you came, I could smell your soul. You were right!" "In order to enter the city, the ghost outside the ghost caught some fresh living people and souls. Most of them were of good quality and served on its dining table. It smelled a familiar smell on the food, and then it found the car. Car and found the soul of her fiancé.

Is this news from the victims in the same car? Gu Minglei was about to cry to death. But no matter what he said or explained, the female ghost regarded him as that Lei Lang who was obsessed with getting married and entering the bridal chamber. This is what Gu Minglei thinks. Even if he was indeed Lei Lang in his previous life, he will be reincarnated as Gu Minglei! All memories and emotions were brand new. He had no emotional interest at all in the female ghost who called herself Shu Lan. The only thing he had was fear.

There was a stalemate, and Ghost King Shulan said that he would take Gu Minglei to get familiar with the environment, and once he got familiar with it, he would be willing to live there.

Gu Minglei didn't want to think back on his life during this period. He couldn't eat dead human flesh, and he didn't dare to eat food made from soul fragments using blind methods. The Ghost King asked his subordinates to give him human food, packed with bloody biscuits and mineral water... He swallowed it with difficulty as if eating a stone.

"Let me go, please."

As soon as he talked about leaving, the Ghost King's expression changed and he almost strangled him to death at one point. After she regained consciousness, she apologized to him: "Shall we get married? After we get married, I will give half of my power to you, and we will live together forever and never be separated again!"

Gu Minglei:......

No, he wants to live, even if he dies, he has to be reincarnated. He doesn't want to stay in this hellish place for a long time, he will go crazy.

After a long stalemate, Gu Minglei found an opportunity to escape. He stole something from Ghost King Shulan-a bracelet. After putting on the bracelet, he followed the checked route and escaped from the ghost town. The wilderness outside the ghost town was simply not a place for humans to pass, but he managed to develop a heroic spirit and was no longer afraid of ghosts. The Ghost King's bracelet protects his safety. The other scattered ghosts regard him as the same kind, and at the same time they dare not touch him because of the Ghost King's aura.

In order to survive, he started looking for a bus station. According to Ghost King Shulan, those stations appeared after the ghost gate opened. It seemed like a mysterious force that would give living people who entered the ghost for the first time a chance to escape. As time goes by, those stations will become more and more dilapidated, and eventually turn into dust.

The first game between the rules of heaven and earth in the Yang world and the rules of ghosts is at these stations. Gu Minglei didn't know the deeper meaning, he only knew that there would be food there. Then he kept searching for food to survive. Sometimes he was so hungry that he fainted and there would be food around him when he woke up. He pursed his lips and looked around before picking it up.

He thought that his life would go on like this until one day he couldn't live it anymore, and he might compromise and go back to the ghost town. Until that day he saw a car and reunited with his old friend Zhang Luheng.

To be honest, he is not stupid. Thinking that Zhang Luheng and those Taoist priests have been in the ghost town for so long and have not come out, things must not be going well. Alas, he also knows that it is very suspicious for him to come out so suddenly, and it is not wrong for others to be wary of him. He is worried about those people, worried that they will be caught by the ghost king because of him.

He suddenly remembered that those foods can only be sent to him by the ghost king, and it must have been monitoring him all the time. It's bad! Gu Minglei realized it later and jumped up! Brother Zhang and the others sent it as soon as they entered! Gu Minglei was anxious, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and shouted to the surroundings: "Shulan! Shulan! I agree to get married! Let's get married!"

After shouting twice, a strong wind whistled in and condensed into the appearance of the ghost king in front of him. It tilted its head to look at him: "You, why?"

Gu Minglei suppressed his fear: "You didn't do anything to my friends, did you?"

"They? They are still running around in the city. Are you willing to marry me for them?"

Gu Minglei clenched his fists and suddenly felt like a scumbag who cheated on his marriage. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "We are getting married, can you let them go?"

Shu Lan approached and held his hand: "I already have you, and I don't lack delicious food."

"Keep your word!"

"Lei Lang, I won't lie to you."

After the wedding, Gu Minglei... was led to the bridal chamber by the Ghost King. He was still a little embarrassed in his heart, and the Ghost King smiled at him softly, and he fell dizzy on the bed. After that, he only felt that his body was changing. He couldn't move, but he felt full of strength. Until Brother Zhang and the others came in and fought with the Ghost King. He knew everything, but he couldn't move, and he was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood.

In the end, he could only control his new power awkwardly, and hold the souls of Brother Zhang and Taoist Xunchuan, so as not to let the ghost king eat them unconsciously. After that, the ghost king continued the previous ceremony, but he didn't know whether it was because he had already done half of it before, and there was a strange power in his body. This time he didn't faint, and he was very clear from beginning to end. He saw the gear turning in the bodies of the two again, and gradually merged into one.

The ghost king smiled, but Gu Minglei felt a heroic spirit of burning his boats. This is it, this is it! He held two fresh ghosts in his sleeves, and there was still time, there was still time! He slapped the ghost king with one palm. He was still unfamiliar with the control of the new power. He couldn't control it and almost used all his strength, and knocked the ghost king to the ground in one go.

Gu Minglei didn't dare to delay, and chased in the direction of the ghost cave, saving his friend and leaving the gear. He returned to the bedroom, and the ghost king, who was still wearing wedding clothes, sat on the bed with his head down, but he was suddenly not afraid. He walked up to sit beside it, grabbed the ghost king's hand and gave it strength to heal its wounds.

"You didn't leave."

"Yeah." Gu Minglei scratched his head: "Let's put it this way. It's wrong for me to lie to you. I can only do this. Don't worry, since we are married, I will be responsible and I won't leave again."

His relatives and friends will live safely, and he has no regrets.

The ghost king finally looked up at him, and that look was extremely complicated, but Gu Minglei couldn't see it clearly.

Boom boom -

The ghost city shook violently, everything turned into nothingness, and Daqing Palace disappeared. The ghost king and Gu Minglei's half-step ghost king power weakened in an instant, and were drawn by the ghost den to maintain the domain. The two ghosts sat in the chaotic wasteland, but held each other's hands awkwardly.

Decades later, the ghost city was built, and the first batch of summons and controls were the scattered souls of various ghost dens. Incomplete souls? Work, slowly complete them and then reincarnate. Too many bad karma? After being punished, they will work again, and they will decide where to be reborn.

A ghost couple came to the ghost town. The man got a number that was closer to the reincarnation number, but he used his number to replace his wife's number. It is said that his wife received a wooden sign for reincarnation after being punished for a hundred years. Wooden signs are the worst, and they are reborn as animals. The couple worked together to accumulate merits. It took them many years to replace the wooden sign of the female ghost with a jade sign, and it took them many years to arrange the reincarnation numbers of the couple into adjacent numbers.

In short, new ghosts came one after another, and they all recognized them. Until one day, a ghost remembered: "Hey, Shulan seems to have not come to work for a few days?"

"They are reincarnated! Wow, it's rare. I heard that they were the first batch of ghosts to come to the ghost town. I didn't expect them to reincarnate now, and they are still in pairs. I envy them."
