She kept yelling for grandpa to come back.
But no one comforted her.
The person who would sit next to her, wait patiently for her to finish crying, and bring out a handful of candies to her, never appeared again.
Until a few days ago, she heard from others that grandpa had gone to a world far away.
As long as the paper money is burned, grandpa will be blessed and live a happy life in another world.
Looking at the burning paper money in the copper basin.
The little girl smiled, and there seemed to be a gleam of light in her eyes.
"Grandpa, are you okay in that world?"
"Niannian will be obedient, you must be happy there!"
"Niannian has no money, so he can only buy so much. When Niannian grows up and earns money, he will definitely burn a lot of paper money for grandpa."
"grandfather……"
"I miss you so much."
The little girl's voice became weaker and weaker.
Seemingly a little tired, she leaned against the tree beside her and fell asleep quietly.
But in a half-dream and half-awake.
She suddenly felt as if she was picked up by a pair of powerful hands and gently placed on her back.
It's so warm.
This solid back, just like Grandpa's back, made her feel extremely solid.
After a while.
Two figures came out of the room.
The old man stood in front of the door, looked at his granddaughter sleeping soundly in the room, and couldn't help wiping away his tears.
"Ugh……"
"My poor little granddaughter is only eight years old this year, and she has no parents to accompany her."
"After I leave, she will probably be even more lonely."
Yin soldiers stood behind.
Seeing this scene also looked moved.
He raised his hand, patted the old man's shoulder, and comforted him: "Old man, don't be too sad. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, you have to be careful."
The old man nodded.
Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I have nothing to worry about in my life. The only thing I can't let go of is my poor granddaughter."
"I hope she can grow up quickly, find a man who loves her, and live happily ever after."
Yin Bing nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will definitely happen."
"I can see from your granddaughter's appearance that she is a very rich and powerful person, and she will definitely live happily in the future. Don't worry too much about you."
"Haha, then I would like to thank Lord Yin for your kind words!"
The old man laughed, and thanked the Yin soldiers.
Chapter 40 The ghost wave strikes, the ghost master comes
Inside Nanyuan City.
Paper money is being burned from house to house to offer sacrifices to the souls of the dead.
The ghosts in the underworld, under the leadership of the ghosts, visit their relatives in the underworld one by one.
Because there are regulations in the underworld, ghosts cannot disturb the living, so they can only watch from afar.
But for a lot of ghosts.
It is enough to be able to take a look at it from such a distance.
Compared with the warm atmosphere in the city.
At this moment, there was a serious atmosphere on the tower of Nanyuan City.
Zhang Tianchen led Wang Yuqing and other high-level ghost masters to inspect the city tower back and forth. Everyone's face was extremely solemn, and their eyes were fixed on the distant sky.
Tonight is the day when the ghost tide strikes.
The entire headquarters of the Ghost Master was mobilized and ready for battle.
"President!"
At this moment, a ghost master came over and said respectfully: "President, everything has been investigated."
"Among the more than 300 streets in Nanyuan City, more than 200 have a large number of ghosts."
"The rest of the streets are mostly remote and deserted places, basically no human habitation exists."
"According to our estimates, there are probably more than 3000 ghosts that appeared in Nanyuan City this time."
"More than 3000?"
Hearing this number, Zhang Tianchen frowned tightly.
Why did so many ghosts suddenly appear in the city overnight?
All their ghost masters stayed here all night, and they didn't notice any ghost energy penetration at all.
There shouldn't be ghosts entering the city!
"Could it be that the ghost tide has already started? We just didn't notice it?"
Zhang Tianchen was startled, and quickly asked, "What about the number of casualties?"
"Um... the number of casualties, zero!"
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianchen was even more surprised.
With so many ghosts pouring into the city, how could there be zero casualties?
As if seeing Zhang Tianchen's thoughts, the ghost master said: "President, according to our investigation, these ghosts should be kind souls, and they have no malice towards people."
"Don't forget, today is the Ghost Festival."
"It is rumored that on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the ghost gates of the underworld will be opened, and all the ghosts will be released to go home to visit relatives."
"I estimate that these ghosts should just take advantage of the festival to go home, and will not have any impact on the common people."
However, after hearing the words of the ghost master.
Zhang Tianchen's complexion suddenly sank, and he said angrily, "Nonsense!"
"As a ghost master, how can you say nonsense?"
"Return to the underworld?"
"In this world, how can there be any hell?"
It wasn't long before Zhang Tianchen came to Nanyuan City, and he had never seen such Yin gods as Black and White Impermanence.
In addition, he was born in a wealthy family and received a good education since he was a child, so naturally he would not believe in the existence of the underworld.
and so.
When he heard that the ghost master connected the matter with the so-called myths and legends, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Wang Yuqing opened her mouth, just about to speak for the ghost master.
suddenly!
"Boom!!"
Not far from the city tower, there was a sudden violent sound, like thunder bursting suddenly.
The faces of Wang Yuqing and the ghost masters all changed, and they suddenly turned around and looked towards the distance of the tower.
only see...
A large amount of black mist suddenly gushed out from the sky in the distance, and the thick evil spirit permeated the sky. It was so dark that it enveloped the entire Nanyuan City in black.
The dull breath was almost breathless.
Wang Yuqing frowned, and murmured solemnly: "What a strong evil spirit..."
"Is it finally here?"
At this moment, not only the ghost master of Nanyuan City noticed this strong evil spirit.
Even the Yin soldiers in the city raised their heads one after another, looking at the sky solemnly.
Holding a steel fork and a long knife with a bull's head and a horse face, he stood on the top of a building, looking at the dark sky above his head.
There was a solemn look in the eyes of the two ghosts and gods.
"What a strong evil spirit...it doesn't look like a ghost..."
"There are at least a few thousand ghosts!"
"what is the problem?"
"Why did Nanyuan City suddenly flood into so many ghosts?"
And those ghosts who were released by the underworld to visit their relatives also felt this powerful evil spirit at this moment.
Hiding behind the Yin soldiers one by one, the ghost bodies trembled.
All the faces of the ghosts were full of horror.
In the Temple of Heaven.
Chen Qiye suddenly opened his eyes, looking in the direction of Nanyuan City.
As the Son of Heaven, he naturally felt this monstrous evil spirit immediately, and he could feel that there was more than one source of this evil spirit.
But densely packed!
At least thousands of them!
Chen Qiye said in a deep voice, "Ox head and horse face!"
"Subordinates are here!"
In the distant streets of Nanyuan City, bull-headed and horse-faced faces bowed deeply to the distance.
Then Chen Qiye's voice sounded: "There is a lot of evil energy in the north tower of Nanyuan City. I am afraid that there are fierce ghosts appearing. You should quickly lead all the Yin soldiers and escort the ghosts in the city back to the underworld. There must be no mistakes!"
"promise!"
The bull head nodded, and then led the Yin soldiers.
Escort all the ghosts in the city, and return to the direction of the underworld.
Chen Qiye shouted again: "Black and white are impermanent!"
"Subordinates are here!"
Black and white impermanence bowed together, waiting for Chen Qiye's instructions.
Chen Qiye ordered: "You two, lead three Rakshasa ghosts and two hundred Yin soldiers! Quickly go to the North Tower to check the situation and see what kind of ghost has descended?"
"If it's a ghost, kill it directly!"
"Not one can be let go!"
Black and White Wuchang heard Chen Qiye's words, nodded quickly, and responded respectfully: "This subordinate obeys orders!"
After all, Black and White Wuchang clenched the mourning stick in his hand and rushed towards the North Tower of Nanyuan City.
And just when black and white impermanence left.
In the Town God's Temple in Nanyuan City, Xue Dingshan naturally heard Chen Qiye's order.
A burst of bright golden light suddenly burst out from the majestic statue of the City God, and the sacred atmosphere permeated the entire City God Temple.
next moment.
