Chapter 201: Shangyang County is about to change
Three miles outside the south city.
There is a small hillside with two lanterns hanging on the dead bamboos on both sides at the bottom of the hillside.
From time to time, the night wind blew the leaves rustling, and the lanterns swayed in the wind, which was very eerie and scary.
Before he even stepped into the charity cemetery, Lin Ye saw paper money under his feet. This was paper money thrown by the people who transported corpses, and was used to pay the local wandering ghosts for passage.
Fortunately, Lin Ye and his companions were not frightened by such a scene. The more eerie and sinister the scene was, the more these ghost officials liked it.
"Chengnan Yizhuang, the dead rest in peace, the living stop!"
Not long after passing the lantern, a stone appeared in front of us with eight large characters engraved on it.
After stepping over the stone, a cold wind suddenly blew, making the surrounding trees rustle, and the paper money on the ground was blown away by the wind.
Yang Jian's expression turned ugly, and Lin Ye took a few steps back the moment the paper money started flying.
call out!
The next moment, the flying paper money was like a sharp sword, quickly slashing towards Yang Jian and the ghost officials.
A pen appeared in Yang Jian's hand, and he drew a few strokes in the air. The paper money shot at him was shot down, but the ghost officials around him were not so lucky. Several of them were cut by the paper money, and their clothes were directly torn, accompanied by wailing.
"Twin Ghost King, you are too presumptuous!"
Yang Jian took a pen and drew a character in the air. The flying paper money seemed to be frightened, trembling in the air, and finally suddenly caught fire.
"How dare you! The South City Charity Estate is my territory. You, the underworld, came here for no reason and frightened my guests."
It was originally dark inside the charity cemetery, but as the voice was heard, it was instantly filled with light. Lin Ye was able to see the situation inside the charity cemetery clearly with the help of this light.
The entire charity cemetery was very large, with dozens of coffins placed in the front yard. At this moment, the lids of all the coffins were opened, and corpses crawled out one by one .
In the main hall in the front yard, a man in official uniform sat in the middle. Behind the man there was a terrifying negative energy, and in the negative energy there were hideous and strange ghost faces. The light came from the lanterns held by the maids on both sides of him.
This is the Twin Ghost King.
Lin Ye's pupils shrank and he stood silently behind Yang Jian.
"There is a ghost in Shangyang City that is harming people. I have found a clue and found that the ghost walked out of your charity cemetery. I am here to investigate!"
After all, Yang Jian was the City God and was not at all overwhelmed by the aura of the twin ghost kings.
"What a joke! Ghosts come in and out of my charity cemetery every day. Could it be that every ghost that comes in and out of the cemetery and harms someone will blame me for it?"
"Since I am here, there must be a witness, Mr. Lin..."
Yang Jian stepped aside and Lin Ye was stunned. This old Yang did it on purpose, deliberately exposing him.
"Who are you?"
Even across the front yard, at this moment Lin Ye could feel the pressure emanating from the twin ghost kings, which gave him goose bumps all over his body.
"I am Hu Jun. Today, I happened to see a ghost harming people and taking their hearts and livers. This ghost walked out of the South City Charity House."
Lin Ye had a righteous look on his face. When Yang Jian, who was standing beside him, heard this, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, but in the end he said nothing.
He already knew how shameless Lin Ye was.
"Hu Jun?"
The Twin Ghost Kings thought for a moment and realized that there was no powerful cultivator in Shangyang City with this name.
"Twin Ghost Kings, the witnesses are here too. I hope you can give me an explanation in the underworld, otherwise I will go to the underworld to arrest you."
"Catch me? You couldn't do anything to me when you were the City God, and now you're just a judge. With you and these useless ghosts, you still want me to surrender?"
The twin ghost kings laughed out loud, as if they had heard a huge joke. Yang Jian's face darkened. Being demoted from City God to Judge was the scar he least wanted others to mention.
The Ghost King's strength is not inferior to that of the City God of the Underworld. If he had the City God's Seal, he could easily suppress the Ghost King. But now he is not the City God, and in terms of strength he is indeed inferior to the twin ghost kings.
"It looks like the Ghost King is going to go to war with my underworld!"
Yang Jian had a serious expression on his face, and the eight ghost messengers were holding soul-calling chains in their hands, staring at the charity cemetery in full readiness.
"Do I still fear your underworld?" The Two-Fingered Ghost King snorted coldly. The corpses that had crawled out of the coffins in the yard all walked out of the gate. They moved quickly, without any stiffness at all.
Lin Ye also became alert because he knew that there might be a tough battle ahead.
"Although I am not afraid of your underworld, I do not want to be falsely accused. If you want me to give you an explanation, then show me the real evidence!"
The Twin Ghost Kings suddenly changed the subject, and Lin Ye was a little stunned. Was this Ghost King trying to give in and save face?
There is no reason.
Judging from the situation, the Ghost King’s power is greater than that of the underworld.
"Okay, I will produce substantial evidence. I hope you, Ghost King, will not quibble when the time comes."
What surprised Lin Ye even more was that Yang Jian actually took advantage of the situation and gave his subordinates an order: "Retreat!"
Lin Ye followed Yang Jian out of the charity cemetery in a daze. Yang Jian stopped only when he could no longer see the cemetery. His expression became extremely serious. “Master Lin, you must be curious about why the Twin Ghost Kings suddenly changed at the last minute, and why I suddenly retreated.”
"I am a little curious, what are you up to, Old Yang?"
"There is an extremely terrifying being in the charity cemetery, whose strength may be higher than that of the Twin Ghost Kings. The Twin Ghost Kings did not want to expose the existence of that being, so they finally gave in."
"How do you know?"
"This Judge's Pen is also a treasure of my underworld. Just now, the Judge's Pen gave me a palpitation, which means that there is an existence in the charity cemetery that even the Judge's Pen is afraid of."
Yang Jian's expression was extremely serious. As long as he was the City God, he could only barely suppress the Twin Ghost Kings. Now that he was demoted to a judge, the Twin Ghost Kings were troublesome enough, not to mention the existence of an even more terrifying ghost.
"Mr. Lin, I have to contact Lu Pan now. Let's part ways now."
Looking at Yang Jian and the ghost messenger hurriedly leaving, Lin Ye suddenly had a bad feeling that something big might be happening in Shangyang County.
"Go find the Taoist priest!"
Lin Ye decided to go back to Qingfeng Temple to inform the Taoist priest of the situation. However, before he met the Taoist priest, he met an old acquaintance when passing by his home.
"Old Huang, why are you here?"
In the dark night, Lin Ye saw a figure trying to climb over the wall of his yard. At first he thought it was a thief, but when he looked closely and saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, he found out that it was the beast, the big yellow ox.
