Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 272: The Ghostly Den Encounters a Cold Invasion

The paper money trembled, and for a long time, it could not squeeze out a single word. It looked like its soul was about to fly away.

Suddenly, Fatty Baili'er's scream pierced the night sky: "Ghost! There's a ghost!"

Li Yangde sneered: "Fatty, stop being so alarmed. Where on earth could such a ghost come from in this remote place?"

Fatty Baili pointed behind Li Yangde, his voice trembling:

"There really is a ghost! It's right behind you! It's wearing white clothes, has disheveled hair, and its face is green!"

Li Yangde looked back disdainfully, but saw nothing.

He was just about to laugh at Baili Pang'er when he felt a chill on his back, as if something was sticking to him.

He turned his head sharply, and this time, he really saw it.

A female ghost dressed in white, with disheveled hair and a pale green face, was sticking behind him, smiling at him sinisterly.

"What the hell!" Li Yangde was so scared that he ran away.

The female ghost laughed and followed him in a vague manner.

Li Yangde ran even faster, shouting, "Help! There's a ghost!"

Seeing this, Cao Yuanhai sighed, took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms, and chanted: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha..."

The golden Buddha light emanated from the Buddha beads and shone on the female ghost.

The female ghost let out a shrill scream, her figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared.

Li Yangde felt the chill on his back disappear, then he stopped and gasped for breath.

"Huh... Huh... Thank you... Thank you Master..." Li Yangde said with lingering fear.

Cao Yuanhai put away his Buddhist beads and said calmly, "It's a small matter."

Fatty Baili looked at Cao Yuanhai, his eyes full of doubt: "Master, are you...are you really a monk?"

Cao Yuanhai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why? Doesn't it look like it?"

"Master, with your look, I'd believe you were a rock star. You don't look like a monk... that's not it, right?"

Fatty Baili pointed at Cao Yuanhai's flowing long hair and riveted leather jacket, his face full of disbelief.

Cao Yuanhai laughed and lifted his hair.

He gave a devilish smile and said, "Little Fatty, you don't understand this. This is called Buddhist rock! How about it, cool, right?"

He paused, his expression becoming serious.

"As for chanting sutras... that's what my grandfather taught me. He said it's for saving lives. I didn't expect it to actually work."

Li Yangde recovered and rubbed his arms.

With lingering fear, he asked, "Master, what on earth is that female ghost? Why is it haunting me?"

Cao Yuanhai shook his head: "I don't know either. Logically speaking, ordinary ghosts won't actively attack living people, unless..."

He paused, his eyes sweeping over the crowd, "Unless they have something to ask for, or..."

"Or what?" An Yuqing asked, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Cao Yuanhai did not answer directly.

Instead, he looked at Baili Fatty: "Little Fatty, you just said that the female ghost disappeared? Can you tell me in detail how it disappeared?"

Baili Pang'er tried hard to recall: "When you were chanting, a puff of black smoke came out of the female ghost's body."

"Then...then it started screaming, its body became lighter and lighter, and finally with a 'poof' sound, it was gone."

Cao Yuanhai lowered his head in thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the Buddhist beads.

Wu Hen watched from the side and felt that the scene was familiar, like a classic scene from a horror movie.

He couldn't help but jokingly said, "Master, this isn't some long-lost Maoshan Taoist technique, is it?"

"Look at your posture. Are you going to pull out your peach wood sword and yell 'Hurry up and obey the order' in the next second?"

Lin Qiye held his forehead helplessly. This guy never forgets to show off.

Cao Yuanhai ignored Wu Hen's teasing and suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were fixed on the distance, his expression becoming extremely solemn: "Something is wrong..."

"What's wrong, Master?" Li Yangde asked nervously.

Cao Yuanhai did not answer, but slowly uttered two words: "Here it comes again..."

The wind was blowing coldly, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from far away and became clearer and clearer.

Fatty Baili turned pale, pointed ahead and said in a trembling voice:

"Master, they're coming again! There are so many of them! Even more than before!"

Cao Yuanhai frowned, took out the Buddhist beads again, and recited scriptures quickly.

The golden light bloomed again, dispelling some of the surrounding darkness.

Those ghosts twisted and struggled in the golden light, emitting shrill screams as if they were burned by flames.

"Holy crap! This thing really works!"

Li Yangde was stunned. The fear he had just felt disappeared, replaced by full admiration.

As Cao Yuanhai chanted, the ghost shadow gradually dissipated and the cold and gloomy aura also weakened.

Cao Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, it's finally done."

However, just as he finished speaking,

Fatty Baili let out a terrified scream, "Master! Oh no! They...they're coming again! There are more of them this time! So dense! Like...like a tide!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Baili Pang'er's finger, and saw in the darkness in the distance,

Countless ghost shadows surged in like a black tide, covering the sky and the earth, making people's scalps numb.

Cao Yuanhai's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Holy crap! So many! This... is this a ghost?!"

He grabbed the Buddhist beads, but found that the light of the beads had dimmed a lot, obviously due to over-consumption just now.

He gritted his teeth and said decisively: "No! Run! Run quickly!"

Before he could finish his words, the four of them turned around and ran, as fast as an arrow from a bow, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

"Master! Didn't you say it was Buddhist rock? How come it turned into death metal halfway through?"

Li Yangde didn't forget to complain while running.

"Shut up! Is this the time to complain?!" Cao Yuanhai roared angrily.

"Master! Wait for me!" Fatty Baili was running out of breath and was about to be left behind.

"Little Fatty! If you get caught, don't blame me!" Cao Yuanhai shouted without turning his head.

At this moment, An Yuqing suddenly stopped and looked back at the ghost.

He said solemnly, "Wait... do you feel..."

"Wait... do you think these ghosts... don't seem to have any malicious intent?"

An Yuqing's voice seemed a little vague in the wind.

"No ill intentions? Sister, you probably didn't see how ferocious they were, did you?"

"If it weren't for the master chanting, we would probably have become ghosts by now!"

Li Yangde retorted breathlessly, not forgetting to look back at the dark tide of ghosts, and shuddered with fear.

"I mean... they seem to just be... wandering around?"

An Yuqing frowned. "They didn't attack us. They just followed us, as if they were...looking for something."

"Looking for what? Looking for a chance to be reborn?"

Wu Hen interrupted, not forgetting to throw a wink at Lin Qiye.

"How about we form a group and help them find good homes? It would be a great deed!"

Lin Qiye rolled his eyes silently and ignored Wu Hen's teasing. He always felt that something was fishy.

Cao Yuanhai panted and said, "Sister, there are limits to my chanting for salvation."

"Besides, it's not good for me to have committed too many sins of killing. I can't save so many ghosts. If I don't run away, I'll really die here!"

"But..." An Yuqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a gust of cold wind blowing towards him.

There was a low whimpering sound in the gloomy wind, as if countless people were crying, which was creepy.

"Don't say but! Run!" Cao Yuanhai shouted and sped up again.

Everyone ran wildly all the way, and the tide of ghosts followed closely.

I don’t know how long I ran, but suddenly a ruined city gate appeared in front of me, with two words written on it - "Fengdu".

"Fengdu?" Lin Qiye and Wu Hen exclaimed at the same time.

"Oh my god! This is really weird! Wasn't this place already broken into pieces?"

Cao Yuanhai also stopped and looked at the city gate in front of him with an incredible expression.

An Yuqing panted and explained, "According to legend, Fengdu is the gate to the underworld and the final resting place of the dead souls."

"But a thousand years ago, Fengdu was shattered for some reason. The dead souls had nowhere to go, so they wandered around..."

"What's the reason?" Wu Hen asked with interest.

"It is said... that it was shattered by the joint efforts of four Outer Gods..." An Yuqing's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became solemn.

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen's faces instantly darkened.

"Four Outer Gods..." Lin Qiye muttered to himself.

"It seems that things are much more complicated than we thought..."

Wu Hen put away his playful smile and his tone became serious.

He looked at Lin Qiye with a questioning look in his eyes, "Qiye, we..."

Lin Qiye did not speak, but held the long sword tightly in his hand.

The blade reflected a cold light, as if responding to Wu Hen's question.

"Boom——"

With a loud bang, the broken city gate collapsed, and countless ghosts poured out from the gate, surrounding everyone...
