Early the next morning, Bei Yunrong woke up late because he hadn't drunk for a long time. Luda got into his bed at some point, sleeping soundly on his heart.

Sensing the movement of the person below him, Luda immediately opened his eyes and shook his fluffy tail.

"Good friend, are you awake?"

"Don't call me that."

"Then what do I call you? Beauty?"

"Go down."

Bei Yunrong scolded blankly. Lu Da knew that he didn't like his joke, so he wagged his tail again and again, "If you don't like it, just change it. How about calling your benefactor?"

Bei Yunrong didn't answer. After throwing it from his body, he got up and put on his clothes. Lu Da was about to throw himself on him again at the right time, but was disturbed by the knock on the door.

"who?"

"I."

Hearing that it was Nian Qing who came, Bei Yunrong opened the door to greet him, but found that Nian Qing was not the only one who came, and the owner of Yiju was standing behind him.

"You seldom drink alcohol. You had a drink last night, but you still have a good rest?"

"Ah."

"Fifth Ghost and I are going to the western suburbs to burn the corpse today, will you go with us?"

"Burning the corpse?"

"Feng is a ghost town on the ground. Many people die every year, and the burial of the corpses is very particular. But Fengdu is like you can see. Where can there be any good geomantic omens to accommodate these corpses? There are too many people who are buried indiscriminately every year, and there will only be more resentment. Burning their corpses can weaken the negative energy of the resentful spirits and prevent them from hurting people, so I personally go to burn the corpses every year."

"So that's the case, then I will go with you."

"Where are you going? I'm going too!"

Luda followed excitedly behind him. When the fifth ghost saw the beast, he was a little surprised, but after a short while, he grabbed Luda's tail with a smile and lifted it up.

"I thought it was a strange dog, but unexpectedly it can talk."

"Let go of me!! Let go of my tail!"

"What the hell is this?"

Because his strength was no match for the Fifth Ghost Lord, Lu Da looked at Bei Yunrong with tears in his eyes and begged for help, but Bei Yunrong turned a blind eye and didn't intend to make a move, "It's a beast in the ghost world."

"A puppy from the ghost world? Interesting."

"I'm not a dog! Let go of your hands quickly, the hair on your tail is about to be plucked off by you!"

Luda stretched out his paws to grab the Fifth Ghost, but his limbs were too short to catch him at all. He was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, and the Fifth Ghost didn't intend to let go when he saw its furious look.

"I've always loved some rare things in my life. I rarely see things in the ghost world in the human world. Why don't you give them to me as a mortgage?"

"What?! How could my peerless beauty be worth only the price of a room?"

"How about the two rooms?"

"At least five rooms!"

"Okay, then five rooms."

After negotiating for a long time, Luda finally realized that he had been trapped by this person, and it was even more annoyed, "No, no! What five rooms are not five rooms, beautiful things in the world can only match beautiful things, and I will only follow Dear benefactor, let me go, you ugly man!"

Love of beauty is the nature of beasts. Luda's words were unintentional, but somehow he exposed the scar of Ghost Fifth Master. There was a icy cold light under the ghost's mask. Nian Qing quickly snatched Luda and put him in the on the ground.

"It's better not to make up your mind about things in the ghost world. When Luan Mu comes back, it will naturally be sent back. By then, Fifth Master, your business will lose money soon?"

"That's right, I almost made a loss-making business, thank you for reminding me, young master."

After the three of them chatted, they followed Fifth Ghost to the western suburbs. There is a mass burial in Fengdu. All the dead people throw their bodies here. If you have some money, you can still buy a coffin for your relatives. , although the wood is not high-quality, it is good enough to shelter the corpse from the wind and rain, so as not to be corroded quickly, but Fengdu is desolate, and most of the visitors are desperadoes. Those who have stolen some money have almost no relatives, and those who have relatives have almost no money. , so the western suburbs are mostly corpses buried in the soil at will. The fifth ghost ordered his servants to dig out the graves one by one. Some of them were not even buried, and they were thrown directly on the mountain. Yin power, but it is much more convenient for Fifth Ghost Master to deal with.

But here, because of the remoteness of the terrain and the sluggish mountain wind, the thick yin energy in the mist gathers for a long time, and occasionally there will be resentment attacking people, so Bei Yunrong surrounded the ten directions into a sword formation to drive away evil spirits, while Nianqing It is the fire to drive away the fog, and the two of them guard the outside and move inside, so as not to hurt the gravedigger by the yin force.

It took nearly four or five hours just to dig out the corpses without waiting for incineration. The corpses were piled up one by one, gradually forming a small hill. By the time all the cemeteries in the western suburbs were dug up, it was already time. At Haishi, it wasn't until the land all over the mountain was turned upside down that a small servant ran towards Fifth Ghost with a shovel in his hand.

"Fifth Master, there are only one hundred and one."

"Dig it all out?"

"It's all dug out."

"Have you counted them all?"

"It's all counted."

"Then why is there one less?"

Fifth Ghost Master asked each other coldly, so frightened the submissive servant didn't even dare to look up.

"Fifth Master, I've counted three times, and there are indeed only one hundred and one. You personally supervised the digging of these brothers' graves, and I dare not miss anything."

"The roster reported by Ah Lian records that one hundred and two people died in the city this year. He has memorized the names of these dead bodies all the year round, and there has never been a mistake. Could it be that something went wrong this year?"

"I don't know about this... I don't know, but there are indeed only one hundred and one hundred and one corpses here, why don't you count them yourself?"

The number of dead people in the record book does not match the number of corpses. There was a trace of coldness behind the mask of ghost eyes. After the fifth master gave the young man a look of contempt, he walked forward with his hands behind his back. The corpses in the western suburbs have different degrees The rotten, pungent stench emanating from the pile of corpses didn't even bother the fifth ghost. The number of corpses was really huge. After counting them, half a stick of incense time was gone.

But Fifth Ghost himself counted them three times back and forth, just as the boy said, there were only one hundred and one corpses.

Is there really one missing?

Fifth Ghost frowned slightly, and looked around the western suburbs, but found nothing missing. Could it be that Alian really made a mistake this year?

A Lian was not here now, so he couldn't testify on the spot, so the fifth ghost had no choice but to order the excavated carrion to be carried to the wooden platform built in the open space, and set on fire.

The flames grew along the rotting corpse, and the fireworks became more and more intense, gradually covering the stacked bones. The fifth ghost stared straight ahead with a solemn expression, his brows were thoughtful, but he was caught by Lu who couldn't figure out the way. Da Ge was interrupted when he bumped into him from behind, the person who was hit was An Ran, but the one who hit him let out a cry.

Because he had a very bad impression of this person, Lu Da looked at the fifth ghost viciously, and bared his teeth fiercely, "What are you doing standing here quietly? Blocking my way like a ghost!"

"I'm a ghost."

The fifth ghost sneered, but suddenly something came to mind, he put away his thoughts of continuing to tease Luda, and walked straight to the direction. Seeing his appearance, Nianqing and Bei Yunrong immediately followed him, walking quickly Entering the city of Fengdu, Fifth Ghost walked eagerly. The fog in Fengdu city was thick, and the night was dark, so the road was almost dark. The two had to follow closely so as not to lose their way. It took about two minutes to walk in the city. Three Streets, seeing that the people in front of them remained silent, Nian Qing stepped forward quickly.

"What's the matter? You're walking in such a hurry all of a sudden?"

"Find the missing body."

"Do you know where the body is?"

"I don't know, it's just a guess."

But as soon as the words fell, the three of them had already walked to a poor place, surrounded by thatched huts, the surroundings were quiet, only the footsteps of the three of them and snoring from the house could be heard, occasionally someone A candle lamp was set up to illuminate it. Through the candlelight, they could see a figure standing in front of them. The figure was short and looked like a child. Nian Qing wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Fifth Ghost.

After he reminded him so, Nian Qing stopped to look at the situation ahead, but the little shadow did not move a step, standing stiffly in front, as if waiting for them to pass by.

"It's just a kid, why don't you go there?"

At some point, Luda followed behind them. It jumped onto Bei Yunrong's shoulder, raised its tail, and raised its head towards the shadow in front.

"Is there a ghost in front?"

"of course."

"How do you know it's not human?"

"I grew up in the ghost world. Of course, you can smell the smell of dead spirits and living beings immediately."

Hearing the words, Fifth Ghost Lord looked at Bei Yunrong, "Since it's a ghost, I'll leave it to you to get rid of the evil spirit. I'll go find this evil spirit's corpse."

Bei Yunrong nodded in response, then pushed Shifang out of the sword box and surrounded the ghost, so the fifth ghost saw the timing and was about to walk towards the thatched cottage, but unexpectedly this move alarmed the evil spirit. Regardless of the ten directions around him, the ghost forcefully swung his sword away. The sword energy burned its arm, and the arm was immediately broken by black smoke. Its approach is menacing, and there is no chance for Wu Ye to avoid it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nian Qing immediately threw out the long sword in his hand, which stabbed the evil spirit right in the heart, but the long sword was just an ordinary long sword and could not hurt him at all. Leap forward to protect Fifth Ghost Lord.

"Walk."

Since this person is not very human, he shouldn't take such grievances seriously. The fifth ghost walked simply, without looking back, he stepped into the thatched huts behind to search, one by one. The movement was abnormal, which naturally woke up the sleeping people.

This place is the most chaotic place in Fengdu, and most of them are good people who were framed and persecuted. They couldn't escape being framed and captured by the government, and they didn't have the cruelty of thieves. Facing the days of starvation and cold, they live a day if they can make it through, and are abandoned in the western suburbs if they can't make it through. Many of them have done good deeds in their lives, but in the end they ended up with cold bones and bones. Fifth Ghost often jokes about it People in the world often say that Fengdu is a ghost town, but they don't know that there are hells everywhere outside Fengdu, and the people who come here are just to steal the last sliver of peace.
