"Thank you..."
The few words that came out of the rotting mouth really surprised me.
These two ghostly creatures actually had their own consciousness?!
Moreover... they could even speak on their own?
But at this moment, I didn't have the mind to care about them. I turned around and ran to Si Jiangchen's side. Si Jiangchen's face was as pale as paper under the light. This small space was filled with all kinds of spell talismans. Not to mention the two of us zombies, even the head of the Maoshan School would not be able to withstand the dense spiritual senses here...
In the light of the phone I was holding, there were actually two hideous little dolls sitting on Si Jiangchen's shoulders. They were holding purple-golden demon-subduing pestles in their hands and pounding Si Jiangchen's Shangxing acupoint again and again!
This... this was the place where Sheng Shixun had gathered the power of all the gods! How could there be two little ghost infant spirits mixed in it?!
"You... you have two little ghosts on your back!"
I pinched the ghost-dispelling spell and slapped it towards Si Jiangchen's shoulder. Those two little ghosts were not afraid of me at all. Instead, they grasped the demon-subduing pestles and stabbed at me aggressively.
Si Jiangchen propped one hand in front of him as if supporting an invisible shield, preventing me and the two stewards of the Gu family from being captured by those meddling gods. When he heard my reminder, his other hand suddenly pointed in the direction where the two little ghosts were pouncing. The two little ghosts immediately turned into two puffs of steam-like things, screaming "squeak" like two pieces of butter falling into the hot charcoal.
"Sheng Shixun's trick."
Si Jiangchen knew what was on my mind and just said indifferently, "Do you still remember the foundling hospital a hundred years ago?"
"The foundling hospital?"
I didn't know why Si Jiangchen brought up the old matter all of a sudden, but in a flash, I understood what he meant!
No wonder when I first saw Sheng Shixun, he had so many infant spirits with miserable deaths on his back. It turned out that he was the owner of the foundling hospital that sold the flesh, blood and souls of children when Si Jiangchen took me to stay in Luoyang City!
"How could he still be alive and find us?!"
I simply couldn't believe it. The world was so big and the time was so long ago. How could the people at that time find us so accurately?
"God is kind. Maybe it's just for us to avenge those unjustly dead children!"
Si Jiangchen was being attacked by the giant palms or single eyes transformed by the faint golden light, but there was still a faint smile on his face. There was a hint of coldness in that mask-like timeless expression.
"Bold monster, how dare you destroy the disciple under this immortal!"
Suddenly, in the dim space of the secret room, those faint golden halos were like iron filings attracted by a magnet, rotating towards the same direction. In an instant, an extremely tall golden body statue appeared in front of us.
The feeling was indescribable.
The secret room we were in was no more than three meters high and only about three to five square meters in size, but the statue was as vast and boundless as the galaxy in the sky, making people can't help but feel in awe.
The statue was actually in the appearance of Sheng Shixun. Behind him, there seemed to be countless babies, some laughing and playing, some crying and getting angry. The different looks of the hundreds of children made my scalp tingle.
How many children did this guy kill?
When I saw Sheng Shixun in the capital city before, the dense little ghosts on his back made my heart chill.
How could such a vicious person live for such a long time and cultivate the golden body to achieve the right result?
"Kneel down!"
Just when I was full of doubts in my heart, I heard the golden body let out a roar like a thunderclap. Naturally, gods had a kind of coercion on demons and ghosts. Gu Nian and Tong Yunfang beside me "plop" and knelt on the ground.
My legs also went weak, and my chest was so stuffy that I almost wanted to dig out my own heart to feel comfortable.
"Wow..."
I spat out another mouthful of blood, splashing Gu Nian and Tong Yunfang all over their bodies on the ground.
"Sheng Shixun, do you know why we meet again?"
Si Jiangchen rarely didn't come to take care of me. Instead, he squinted his eyes and slightly tilted his head to look at the solemn and strange statue.
"Lin Shuya found me and wanted me to fulfill the doomed love between you and her."
The golden and glittering Sheng Shixun had a holy and selfless expression on his face. He even sighed, "But I know that you two zombies who are neither human nor ghost are a scourge to the world. So, I invited the Single-Eyed Buddha Mother and the Lord of Mount Tai, thinking that with their great supernatural powers, they could subdue you. Unexpectedly, you two didn't understand my good intentions and even made the two gods ashamed... Helplessly, I had to step up my cultivation so that I could cultivate the golden body as soon as possible to eliminate harm for the people!"
Sheng Shixun's words sounded so sincere and helpless, just like a god in the sky who accidentally let the two of us evil ghosts out to cause harm to the world because of his own negligence.
"Hehe, just by borrowing a little belief power from the Single-Eyed Buddha Mother and getting some magic tools from the Lord of Mount Tai, do you think you're a god?"
A mocking arc appeared on the corner of Si Jiangchen's lips.
"Why not a god?!"
Sheng Shixun's face shining with "holy light" suddenly froze, "I already have the golden light to protect my body, and... I can invite all the gods and Buddhas to help me eliminate evil. How can I not be a god?!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the pressure on me suddenly weakened a lot. I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth again and sneered sarcastically, "Which god would kill so many people? Which god would use infant spirits as his ghost servants? You're not a god at all. You're just a low-level wizard who's not even on the list!"
"Nonsense! What do you know?"
Although Sheng Shixun said so, his huge and boundless statue seemed to fade a lot.
"Yes... yes!"
At this time, Gu Nian, who was kneeling on the ground, actually staggered to his feet. Although his voice was indistinct, we could all hear clearly, "Which god would be a thief? Stealing the ginseng worth millions from our Gu family?!"
"Nonsense, you're slandering the god!"
Sheng Shixun's statue could no longer sit still. It trembled like a holographic projection, "That was a offering. Your Gu family offered it to me, and I would naturally bless the Gu family with peace and smoothness for a lifetime!"
"Taking it privately without permission is stealing. Sheng Shixun, you're just a thief. How could you become a god?"
Tong Yunfang was speaking like a normal person. A woman's voice was originally high-pitched and clear. Her words completely broke Sheng Shixun's defense.
He was invited to do the building decoration back then. He accidentally saw that ginseng. At that time, there was already something wrong with his body! Because he often drank the blood of children, his body was possessed by the cold yin. The ginseng was just right for his physical condition... So he took that ginseng for himself when he left.
At that time, Gu Fancheng became an unconscious vegetable due to a car accident. The ginseng was specially bought by Tong Yunfang from Baishan through someone in order to make Gu Fancheng wake up earlier. But when Tong Yunfang found that the ginseng was stolen by Sheng Shixun, she naturally went to confront him.
How could Sheng Shixun, who looked so high-minded, admit that he was a thief?
During the tug-of-war between the two, Sheng Shixun found that Tong Yunfang had no pulse, which made him extremely happy.
Killing evil ghosts was a good deed!
Nailing Tong Yunfang to death, Sheng Shixun thought he had done a great good deed. Sealing up this scourge that caused harm to the world, it was not excessive to take a small ginseng!
