Vol 2 Chapter 185: Ghost

Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Five
Outside Floating Cloud City, more than a hundred miles north of west, a hilly area is undulating, and the mountains are dense. Because this is not the place where there are many spiritual grasses or other spiritual materials, there have always been few people here, and the birds are singing and the forest is quiet.
On this day, the sun was high and the weather was clear, and it looked no different from usual, but the quiet mountain forest on weekdays suddenly seemed a little more solemn, and the crisp birdsong almost disappeared. The whole mountain forest seemed to be silent, although it was in daylight, it brought a little gloomy atmosphere.
In front of the mountain forest, a figure swayed suddenly, walking towards here, it was the sinking stone and the weak and old age. Because Lao Hou's body was too weak to support him on this long journey, Shen Shi directly carried Lao Hou on his back and walked all the way.
Although I have not walked this hundreds of miles by myself, but the road is bumpy, the look of the old man lying on Shen Shi's back seems to have declined a lot, inhaling less and exhaling more, there is always a kind of The illusion of death. But although the whole body looked like a dead person everywhere, but in the eyes of this dying old man, there was still a bit of brilliance, it seemed that there was still something in the expectation, and he kept trying to open it, looking forward.
Chen Shi carried Laohou on his back and walked beyond the forest, and then looked up at this piece of forest which was not unusual at first sight, but after closer inspection, he would find the gloomy and solemn mountain forest. The expression on his face was also somewhat complicated. After a moment of indulgence , Gently put Laohou off his body, and found a big rock for him to sit on the ground.
Laohou's face was still so ugly, his muddy eyes swept across the forest, and then he looked at Shen Shi, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something but there was no sound. Shen Shi also saw the question in Lao Hou’s eyes, but he did not speak, nor did he yell or do any other things that Lao Hou expected him to do. He just took a deep look at the depths of the mountain forest, and then let him Opening his body, Lao Hou's whole person was revealed, while he was standing aside and waiting quietly.
The mountain breeze was blowing slowly, and the branches and leaves of tall and dense trees swayed gently, like green waves undulating.
There is no bird song, no beast roar, only the cold wind.
Gradually, in the distance where the wind was blowing, among the mountains and forests, a little faint voice suddenly came in. The voice was soft but weird, like weeping like a complaint, like a ghost crying in the mountains and wilderness in the dead of night. sound.
As soon as the sound of ghost crying began, it continued, from small to large, from low to high, gradually converging into streams and rivers, one after another in the wind.
Lao Hou's body trembled abruptly, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. Shen Shi didn't seem to be afraid, but the look on his face when he looked at the mountain forest seemed to become more complicated. some.
Suddenly, there was a sudden flash of white shadow behind the forest, and then a skeleton jumped out. Two ghost fires lit in the eye sockets with a clear desire and greed for flesh and blood, staring at Chen Shi and Lao Hou. A living person, seemingly unable to bear it anymore, rushed out of the forest and threw his teeth and claws.
Laohou let out a vague scream, instinctively wanting to escape, but soon found that he was so weak that he could not even escape his life, so he had to look at the young man beside him for help. But he immediately saw that Shen Shi standing beside him didn't have any intention of avoiding it, and it even seemed that he didn't even move his hands to resist the coming ghost, just standing there silently and calmly, motionless.
As the skeleton ghost suddenly threw out and rushed towards the two groups of fresh flesh and blood, the weird ghost cry in this mountain forest suddenly became louder. It seemed that countless hidden strange things were stimulated at the same time, and the ghost cried. Loudly. However, at this moment, there was a sudden scream, and it was in the deepest part of the ghost cry, high and stern, and it suddenly suppressed all the eerie howls.
The sound of ghost crying suddenly declined, and the forest returned to silence, and the skeletal ghost that threw out seemed to be greatly stimulated at once, and its body trembled suddenly and stopped subconsciously.
A red figure suddenly swept out from the depths of the mountain forest, and rushed behind the skeleton like a gust of wind. The skeleton seemed to have a premonition. Senbai’s skeleton shuddered, but before it had done anything, its spine was suddenly broken by two blood-red arms, and then all the skeletons were broken. Cracked, turned into a piece of white broken bones, and fell to the ground.
There was a commotion in the mountain forest, and the red figure that appeared in front of Shen Shi was also a ghost, but this ghost still looked like a human, but there was almost no clothing on the whole body, and the flesh was at least twice as wide as an ordinary person, and completely It turned into a bright red color, and it looked almost like flesh and blood directly exposed. And on the head of this ghost, even more weird and terrifying, the right half of the face is almost boneless, while the left half of the face still maintains a nearly normal human face. On both eyes, there is also a normal human eye in the left eye socket, but in the right eye socket is a group of ghost fire, yin and yang are accompanied by humans and ghosts, sharp teeth and fangs protrude out, which is the legendary Jiuyou Huangquan Mansion None of the most terrifying evil spirits seem to have such a terrifying appearance.
The old officer made a hoarse voice and kicked his feet. He fainted. Shen Shi was taken aback, and he quickly went to check his breath, and found that it was not a dead breath. He breathed a sigh of relief and started quickly. Rescue according to his people, while holding one hand of Lao Hou, trying to save some spiritual energy to see if he can feel better.
The ghost in front seemed to be taken aback. When he was about to rush forward, he suddenly heard the cry of ghosts in the mountains and forests in the back gradually rising. He turned around abruptly, but it was directed at the forest. There was a shrill roar.
The sound was harsh and piercing, instantly suppressing all ghost crying, and gradually calming down the forest. Then the ghost turned around. There was no expression on the skull on the right, and the face on the left showed a few words. In an anxious color, he strode towards Shen Shi abruptly.
At this time, Shen Shi had let go of Laohou, stood up, and when he saw such a terrifying ghost approaching, he frowned slightly, still seemed to feel uncomfortable with this terrifying face, but other than that Besides, he didn't have much reaction, just sighed softly.
Perhaps after hearing his sigh, the ghost stopped abruptly. Just five feet away from Laohou, half of the face showed a little dazed meaning, and then slowly turned to Shen Shi.
Shen Shi shook his head lightly and said, "He is not dead, but... when I found him, he was already almost the same as it is now."
The ghost's body trembled, his gaze slowly turned back to Laohou, and a low, hoarse howl came from the mouth of the fangs.
Shen Shi slowly walked to his side, sighed, with a bit of compassion on his face, softly said:
"He should think you are dead, Hou Sheng."
※※※
Hou Sheng, this terrifying monster that is neither human nor ghost, was actually Hou Sheng of the day.
No one can recognize him from the outside, even if the half of his face is barely intact, but everyone who sees him will be shocked by the more terrifying parts of him, and will never think of it again other. And since ancient times, I have never heard of such a half-human, half-ghost monster, and there has never been a thing that has fallen into a ghost but still retains a bit of sage.
It's just that there are always unthinkable things happening in this world. At this moment, Hou Sheng, or this terrible ghost, half of the ghost's face was numb, and half of the face slowly shed tears. He stared at the old man who was so old that he was more like a dead person than a living person. Suddenly his knees softened and he slowly knelt to the ground, kneeling down on the old man who had been frightened or exhausted and could no longer support it. Waiting to come.
He let out a howl similar to a ghost cry, and then slowly leaned down and knocked the half-human and half-ghost head on the solid soil, with a low and dull "bang", and there was a shallow sound on the ground. Small pit.
He had turned into sharp claw hands, struggling the ground, as if struggling desperately, and caught ten deep scratches, but the cry of ghosts did not stop, he began to keep kowtow.
One, two, three, four...
Boom boom boom boom boom...
He knocked faster and faster, his crying louder and stern, his voice was full of regret and despair.
The flesh and blood exploded, blood splashed, smearing his entire face, and it became more and more terrifying, making it impossible to see or look directly at him.
And in this tragic and tragic scene, suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his body. At the same time, Shen Shi heard a sighing voice, saying: "Okay, there is still work to be done later. ."
This sentence is ordinary and ordinary, but it seems to be more useful than anything for the terrifying-looking Hou Sheng. His body trembled, and finally stopped. It even brought a frantic kowtow and slowly raised it. The body, after looking at the old man again, then turned to Shen Shi, the sacred fangs squirmed a few times, but a few hoarse words jumped out of the mouth, with a somewhat mutated and weird voice, and he whispered:
"Thank you!"
※※※
"I didn't expect it to be you at the time." Shen Shi stood opposite Hou Sheng, who was covered with blood on his face and looked terrifying. After a moment of silence, the expression in his eyes seemed to be a bit unbelievable. He shook his head and said, " I haven't heard of it, let alone seen, there are people who can remain wise after turning into ghosts."
"Neither did I expect..." Hou Sheng's voice still sounded a bit harsh and weird. From the outside, it was almost hard to see him as a person. At this moment, he seemed to have calmed down a bit. He opened his mouth and said, "I also gradually recovered my sobriety, but when I fully regained my wit, my physical body has already become this shape."
Shen Shi was silent for a while, then raised his head and glanced at him, and said, "Did...that witch under the Soul Suppression Abyss did it?"
Hou Sheng shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't know, but she turned me into a ghost in the beginning, so naturally I can't get rid of her."
Shen Shi nodded, and when he wanted to say something, a low voice suddenly came from the two of them:
"Little... Xiaosheng?"
