Chapter 397 "I heard that the Ghost King provides food and accommodation, right?"
Upon hearing what Jiang Luo said, the Black Mountain Old Ghost was immediately frightened.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will fully cooperate with you. I will fight wherever you point me. I will never disobey your orders!"
Jiang Luo hummed: "Okay, in that case, you can get up! Follow my orders later."
Old Nie asked Jiang Luo: "What are you going to do? Do you want to use Xiaoqian as bait to lure those people over here?"
Jiang Luo looked at Lao Nie in surprise and asked, "How come you are so smart?"
Old Nie said, "No, no, what if my daughter gets hurt?"
Jiang Luo's lips twitched, and he said, "Old Nie, tell me honestly, is the probability of your daughter getting hurt high? I was too soft-hearted at the beginning, why didn't I completely destroy her cultivation? I think I may not be able to control her now!"
Xiao Qian looked at them with a confused look on her face, and asked in a baby voice, "Dad, uncle, what are you talking about? Is Xiao Qian not behaving well?"
Looking at Xiaoqian's cute face, Jiang Luo was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to use her as bait, so he just said, "Xiaoqian, can you play a game with uncle?"
Xiao Qian said excitedly: "Great! What game, uncle?"
Jiang Luo said: "Uh... that is, uncle will tie you up and you pretend to be asleep. If you wake up, it means you lose. Until uncle wakes you up, then uncle loses, how about it?"
Xiao Qian nodded heavily: "Okay, okay! Come on, daddy, tie me up!"
Old Nie: ...
Oh my silly girl, no wonder you were used by those people from the Lord God Cult. They sold you out and you still have to help them count the money!
Jiang Luo also felt that Xiaoqian, without any memories, was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.
Such a child is indeed easy to be exploited. It is fortunate that Old Nie kept her by his side. Otherwise, if she is so capable and so easy to be exploited, who would not say that she is a good knife?
Old Nie was afraid that his daughter would feel uncomfortable, so he tied a knot for her personally.
Jiang Luo said to the Black Mountain Old Ghost again: "Listen, when the people come later, you will hand over to them, and you don't need to interfere in the rest of the matter."
The Black Mountain Old Ghost nodded heavily and replied, "Okay Grandpa, yes Grandpa."
Jiang Luo added: "Don't even think about running away. You should know that I have ten thousand ways to find you."
His system of ten thousand ghosts might fail in other aspects, but finding a ghost is still a piece of cake.
The Black Mountain Ghost waved his hands again and said, "No, Grandpa. We are all honest ghosts. Besides, the whole world belongs to the king. With a word from you, the Ghost King, we have no place to hide!"
This old fellow not only speaks like a eunuch, but his temperament is also full of fawning. It should be said that he is quite suitable to be the chief eunuch of the imperial palace.
Jiang Luo ignored him. At this time, the fourth team came in, raised the soul-binding rope in his hand and said, "Boss, we have captured all the ghost cultivators outside and tied them up in a bunch. What do you think we should do with them?"
Jiang Luo tried to hold back his laughter, thinking that they really knew how to make use of opportunities to show off their skills. After all, there weren't many opportunities to train like this.
Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Leave the clever ones in the room here and send the rest to the ghost village. The four of you have completed your mission, and you will be responsible for escorting these ghosts to the ghost village and handing them over to Han Muqing for assignment!"
When they heard that they were asked to go back, they all showed deflated expressions, especially Xiao Shuai and Chu Jianglan. They had only been out for five days, and didn't they agree to extend their time for a few more days?
Jiang Luo said earnestly: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Make good use of these two months to take the exams. There will be more important tasks for you later."
Yuan Haokun and Lin Shishuang wanted to rescue them, but Lin Shishuang said, "Why don't we let them escort them? You see, these ghost cultivators are tied up like grasshoppers, they can't escape. They need to go back to review, so they can just take these ghost cultivators with them. Brother Kun and I don't have to review, and we can stay and help you, right, boss?"
Xiao Shuai and Chu Jianglan were so angry that their teeth itched. Xiao Shuai said angrily, "Okay, okay! We will go back and ask Teacher Gu to give us some special lessons. If you can't keep up with the class, don't ask us to copy your notes."
Lin Shishuang pulled Xiao Shuai to beg for mercy, "Oh, good junior brother, please don't be like this. After you finish the college entrance examination, don't we still have to go on a mission together?"
Xiao Shuai finally calmed down and nodded to Jiang Luo, saying, "Okay! We both know that now is not the time to mess with you. Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task well."
The two men cleaned up the ghost cultivators in the yard and packed them all into the escort vehicle, which was a low-end version of the flying carriage that Fan Wujiu had given them.
This was not the first time they had ridden in the flying carriage, but each time they rode it they felt a new and fresh feeling.
It was obvious that it was the first time for these ghost cultivators to ride in this kind of carriage. They stared at each other with wide eyes. The brave ones ran to ask Xiao Shuai: "Young man, may I ask... is this carriage our Ghost King's?"
Xiao Shuai said impatiently: "If it doesn't belong to the Ghost King, could it be your master's?"
The ghost cultivator chuckled twice and asked, "I heard that the Ghost King provides food and lodging, is that right?"
Xiao Shuai asked curiously, "Why? Doesn't your master provide food and accommodation?"
The ghost cultivator sighed and replied, "Our master gave us quotas. Only those who collected enough protection fees can have food and shelter. Those who didn't can only sleep on the street."
Xiao Shuai was shocked and asked, "Then why are you still following him?"
The ghost cultivator next to him said, "We have no choice but to follow him. If we stay outside, our cultivation will not be enough. If our cultivation is not enough, we will lose it. When our cultivation is lost, we will be like ordinary wandering souls and slowly wait for death."
The two of them had also heard about this. Ghosts either go to the underworld, or to a place with the protection of high-level ghost cultivators, or they can only wait to be reduced to ashes.
Xiao Shuai asked, "Then can't you change a ghost cultivator to follow? Do you have to follow him?"
Another ghost cultivator said, "You two immortal officials don't know that our master has a talisman in his hand. Only ghost cultivators with the talisman can circle out a territory to accommodate other ghost cultivators and protect them from wasting their cultivation."
Although Xiao Shuai and the others didn't know what the talisman was, they could guess that it was something like a land deed.
Perhaps this world has been given certain rules by the heavens to prevent wandering souls from lingering in the world of the living, thereby automatically causing them to lose their cultivation. Returning to the underworld is their final destination.
Of course, if you have a special barrier, which they call a talisman, you can have your own territory and accommodate the ghosts stranded in the world of the living.
Another ghost cultivator asked, "Then... the Ghost King shouldn't lose his cultivation, right? If not, as long as he provides us with food and shelter, we are willing to let him do whatever he wants!"
Xiao Shuai suddenly felt that these ghost cultivators were quite pitiful, so he said, "Of course the Ghost King's cultivation will not drop, as there are already many ghosts living there. But you have stains on you, so you probably won't be able to get a house or a salary like ordinary ghosts!"
Unexpectedly, these ghost cultivators didn't care. They said quite contentedly, "It's okay, it's okay. We often sleep on the streets. As long as we don't lose our cultivation and have a place to stay, that's fine."
Xiao Shuai thought that the ghost cultivators must have had a hard time these years, look at what they have been forced into.
However, these are all low-level ghost cultivators. High-level ghost cultivators can serve as thugs and have their own ghost domains, so they should be much better than them.
Now Xiao Shuai finally understood why Jiang Luo wanted to be the Ghost King. There were far more ghosts than humans. If no one was taking care of them, even the low-level ghost cultivators would probably face the dilemma of being reduced to ashes.
It is not easy to become a ghost. If you lose levels and have to start over again, you don’t know how much suffering you will have to endure.
Xiao Shuai said: "As long as you reform yourself well, the Ghost King will not treat you unfairly."
The ghost cultivators were overjoyed. Those who knew about it thought they were going to labor reform, while those who didn't think they were going on vacation.
At this moment, in the Black Mountain Old Ghost’s camp, several masked ghost cultivators walked into the yard.
Jiang Luo used a restoration talisman to restore the camp gate to its original appearance.
As soon as the ghost cultivators came in, they said arrogantly, "Who is the Black Mountain Old Ghost?"
When the Black Mountain Ghost heard someone calling him from outside, he immediately pretended to come to the yard accompanied by several ghost followers, stroked his white beard and said, "It's me. Are you the one who posted the wanted poster?"
