This door connects to another world.

Grotesque and variegated, the streets noisy and disorderly. The sounds of brothels soliciting customers mixed with the cries of peddlers. Before her eyes could adjust to this scene, she heard screams coming from the alleys, as well as the sound of sticks hitting the body.

It was similar to the Ghost City, yet not the same.

It was simply the marketplace of marketplaces, the most vulgar of marketplaces. The smoke and fire of the mortal world was normal, but here, it completely changed its appearance, making people wish they had never set foot here.

Zhanxi fanned herself as she glanced at a bookstall on the street. She flipped through a few copies of 《Regret of Chunshan》, curled her lips, and said in disdain: "Unsightly, but the name sounds nice.

It's said that homosexuality is very popular these days, how do men match … Bah, why should I care.

Damn it, really damn it. "

Suppressing the sudden curiosity in her heart, Zhanxi turned her head and followed the group of people she had originally followed.

From behind, she saw a few burly men slowly shrinking to the height of a ten year old child, a candle burning on top of their heads. She almost directly swung her fan at them, thinking: "So they're all fakes that have turned into ghosts!"

From afar, she heard a few 'hahahahaha' indecent laughter.

This laughter faintly revealed a wicked sense of pleasure, which was extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

Zhanxi walked closer, and only then did she clearly see the youth sitting on the stone seat with his legs crossed.

That youth was dressed in green, surrounded by green candles. His skin was extremely clean and white, and his face was bright and dazzling. The corners of his eyes were slightly narrower than ordinary people's, and they were slightly raised, evoking three parts unruly and seven parts malicious intent.

He was really good-looking.

Unfortunately, his taste was too poisonous.

"Hahahahaha, tonight we'll eat these people!

First, we'll chop off their hands and feet, then throw them into the pot to simmer!

If it's not enough, we'll go down the mountain and catch a few children to roast and eat!

Xie Lian has turned into a child!

Dog Huacheng and Little Xie Lian, hahahahaha!

If this banquet doesn't last for seven days and seven nights, my name Green Ghost Qi Rong will be written upside down by dog Huacheng's rotten pen!

Hahahahaha! "

When Zhanxi saw the young man laughing to himself, she looked at him coldly and scolded him softly, "SJB."

The green-clothed imps obeyed the order. Two by two, they each carried a girl and placed her on the bluestone chopping board. They raised their machetes and were about to chop the prey in half.

Zhanxi waved her folding fan, and a few rays of cold light emitted from her fingertips. With a sizzling sound, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind, flipping the group of little ghosts over. Even the hanging pot was flipped upside down on the ground, and the boiling soup flowed all over the floor.

Qi Rong quickly flicked his sleeves and jumped onto the stone seat. He scolded, "Gu Zi!

Why are you ruining your father's plans again? "

Zhanxi covered her nose with her fan and looked sideways at the youth in the moon-white robe. She thought to herself, "If this was in modern times, they would definitely be able to defeat all those flamboyant boy groups."

"Father, if your memory is bad and you forgot what you said, I don't mind helping you remember."

The youth slightly raised his eyebrows and calmly looked at the young man for a long time. Qi Rong finally sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Do as you wish!"

When he finished speaking, he crossed his arms and looked down at Gu Zi condescendingly. He continued to speak unforgivingly, "I really raised you for nothing. Every day you ruin my plans!"

"I've sent all the girls you locked up in the cave back."

"So what if you sent them back? Damn brat, they're all back. Do you think I'm still looking forward to eating bacon?"

Qi Rong disdainfully said, "At worst, I'll just eat some beef and mutton to fill my stomach. In any case, Huacheng the dog's life is not easy. It doesn't matter what kind of celebration we use!"

"Father, now that you have me with you, don't look for mortal girls to have fun.

What they can give, I can give. What they can't give, I can still give.

If you're bored, I'll take you outside to have a look. The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon. It must be very lively. "

Zhanxi was silent for a moment and murmured, "I feel like … I seem to have heard something else."

Before Qi Rong could curse, Zhanxi jumped to the ground and pushed open the temple door. She bumped into a wall head-on.

"Oh?"

Zhanxi raised her hand to press her forehead and looked up to meet Jiang Cheng's clear eyes. She said happily, "Mr. Jiang!"

*

Jiang Cheng scolded her, "Why are you here?!

Where's Ah Ling?

Did you leave them at the inn?! "

Zhanxi raised her fan and patted him on the shoulder. She said seriously, "We're going back now, we're going back now.

Mr. Jiang, let's go back first. I have some serious things to talk to you about. Let's go. "

She pushed Jiang Cheng out of the temple and closed the door with a bang. She set up a barrier while she was at it. Zhanxi deliberately said, "I wanted to see the scenery at the top of the mountain, but there's nothing here except mosquitoes and a temple. The scenery halfway up the mountain is better."

Zhanxi talked nonsense with a serious face. Her fingers grabbed the corner of Jiang Cheng's sleeve and squeezed it hard.

Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable being pulled by her. He waved her hand away and said angrily, "If you have something to say, say it!"

"Okay."

Zhanxi twirled the fan in her hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, did you come here in the middle of the night to look for the girls who were sent to the temple?

Judging from your expression, I guessed right.

But you don't have to waste your time. They'll go back home tonight.

We can go back to the inn and have a good night's rest. "

"How did you know?"

"The Corolla Martial God worshipped in the temple showed up and told me."

Zhanxi opened her dead fish eyes and turned around to point at the temple.

Before leaving the temple, she glanced at the statue. It was indeed the appearance of the Martial God, but there were two small flowers in his ears. She didn't know if it was a gift from a believer or a prank by a naughty child. She found it funny and said, "I'm sleepy. Go back and sleep."

"You go back first. Look after Ah Ling and the others."

Jiang Cheng ignored her and returned to the temple. He opened the door with a palm. Zhanxi was so anxious that her eyebrows were twitching. She let out a sigh of relief when the door opened.

The temple was empty and quiet. A single candle lit up the face of the statue and a few plates of fresh tributes on the table.

Jiang Cheng felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any clues. He closed the door, turned around, and walked down the stairs.

Zhanxi was standing on the stairs. Her body was leaning out of the wooden fence. The fan was in front of her mouth. Her eyes were bright, as if she was looking at something very interesting.

Jiang Cheng walked past her and said, "Let's go back."

Zhanxi closed her folding fan and jumped to his side. She said, "Mr. Jiang, let's go fishing on the east side of the mountain tomorrow."

"There are no fish on the east side."

"But I just saw a fish jumping in the water below.

It's a big red fish! "

Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the middle of the night, there were sudden waves on the sea. It was raining heavily. The raindrops hit the window, making it impossible for people to sleep well.

Zhanxi had finished bathing and was sitting on the bed drying her hair. She was using a bath towel to wipe her hair. She was talking to herself, "I shouldn't have gone to catch fish. My whole body stinks."

Just then, Jin Ling woke up with a start. He rubbed his eyes and rolled to the edge of the bed. He slammed into Zhanxi.

Zhanxi stopped what she was doing. The bath towel was draped over her head. Her undried hair hung down to her waist. She reached out and hugged Jin Ling to sit on her lap. She pinched his delicate nose and said, "Can't sleep?"

Jin Ling's eyes heated up. A thin layer of hot water vapor floated up and covered the surface of his amber eyes.

Her pitiful look coupled with her cute face made Zhan Xi's mind tremble and her shoulders stiffen.

She closed her eyes and smiled. "What's wrong?

Ah Ling, did you have a nightmare? "

"…" Jin Ling buried his face in her collarbone. His cheek rubbed against her soft skin. He said in a muffled voice, "Zhanxi, I think I dreamed of Dad and Mom, but I couldn't see their faces clearly.

I really want to see Dad and Mom. "

Zhanxi said, "Ah Ling, did you hear Dad and Mom calling you?"

She could only rub his head and gently pat his back. She hugged the small and soft ball in her arms. She rested her chin on the top of his head and sighed, "It was a good dream."

Jin Ling sniffled and replied, "How could it be considered a good dream."

"But it couldn't be considered a nightmare. After all, I dreamed of Dad and Mom."

"En."

Jin Ling nodded. The tears that had welled up in the corners of his eyes were immediately held back. "Then you can't hold other children in the future."

The topic changed so quickly that Zhanxi still hadn't reacted. She blankly said, "Children?

What other children — — Oh, Ah Ling, are you talking about today's two children? "

Fortunately, she quickly remembered the two pairs of 'father and son' in the Ghost City. She said, "It's just a transaction. Otherwise, how could I bring you two wild brats back?"

Thus, Jin Ling was completely quiet. He didn't say a word, quietly and obediently nestled in her arms.

The candlelight shone on his pitch-black eyelashes, casting a faint shadow under his eyes.

The room was silent for nearly half an hour. Zhanxi's state of mind was tangled up for a long time.

She waited for the threads to come out of her brain one by one. She lowered her head to look at the child's sleeping face. Her eyes finally mixed with a few traces of a smile.

The lamp continued to light for a while before it went out.

Zhanxi pulled over the quilt that was folded into a square at the end of the bed. Just as she closed her eyes, her phone suddenly vibrated.

… …

… …

It was her boss.
