The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 148
To the north of Sifang City is a lake named Luoshui Lake.

The lake is several feet deep and covers an area of ​​more than ten miles. There are also several lake islands. The headquarters of the Ghost Warrior Alliance in Sifang County is here.

"Many ghosts don't like water, and they live on lake islands, where they can avoid the harassment of many ghosts."

"Now, there are 43 ghost slayers on the island, and there are [-] ordinary people under our protection."

"Because the island is not suitable for farming, we only plant some fruit trees and make a living by fishing."

"The fish and shrimp caught can be exchanged for food in other villages and towns. One fish can be exchanged for two catties of cornmeal. Life is not too difficult."

Zhang Heng and Sha Liang took a boat and followed Gu Qingqing to the lake island.

At a glance, it looks like a small peach garden in the world. The islanders built wooden houses on the island, and got barns, private schools, wine shops, grocery stores, and small markets.

The monetary system consists of iron coins and gold and silver. Among them, iron is a common metal that can be used to make iron hairpins, iron basins, iron pots, iron knives and iron armor. It has practical value and can be easily used in daily life.

Gold and silver are precious metals. As the saying goes, people need clothes, and Buddha needs gold clothes.

Gold and silver utensils are more dignified than copper and iron utensils. Even the ghosts of the underworld are happy to paint their ghost images with gold paint. If there are many people who like it, it will naturally have its value.

"In the headquarters of the ghost hunters in Sifang County, there are no more than forty or fifty ghost hunters at all counts. From this, it can be inferred that there are probably only a few hundred ghost hunters in one state."

Zhang Heng knew that there were very few ghost fighters.

He has been to the villages and towns below. It is not bad to have two or three ghost slayers in a small town, and some villages don't even have a ghost slayer.

Taken together, it can be called one in a thousand, and there may not be one ghost slayer out of a thousand people.

"Lack of salt and cloth!"

Zhang Heng looked again.

The residents on the lake island were all dressed in tatters. Many children were already seven or eight years old and still had no clothes to wear.

And many people suffer from edema and big neck disease, which is caused by the lack of iodized salt.

It's no wonder that trade is inconvenient now, and there are no salt fields near Sifang County, and it is not suitable for planting mulberry and silkworms. It is strange that there is no shortage of salt or cloth.

"President, the bone man may not be able to die."

Not long after setting foot on the island here, a ghost hunter came to look for Gu Qingqing before he could take a closer look.

Zhang Heng followed to have a look.

Inside a small wooden building lay a skinny young man with his eyes closed.

His body trembled uncontrollably, as if something was crawling around under his skin, trying to break free from the shackles of flesh and blood.

"This is the bone man. He has followed me for a long time, and he drives a bone ghost."

"After controlling this ghost, the bones in the bone man's body began to be assimilated by the bone ghost, and now his entire skeleton belongs to the bone ghost."

"He can control himself only when he controls the bone ghost."

"If the bone ghost recovers and wants to get out of his body, losing the bone ghost means losing all the bones in his body, and the bone man will probably die suddenly."

Gu Qingqing briefly introduced the bone man's situation to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng frowned slightly, and asked, "Why didn't he let him control the second ghost?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head: "We haven't found a suitable ghost. To control ghosts, you can't control them indiscriminately. You must have a relationship."

"For example, bone man, he can control painted skin ghosts and shadow ghosts, which are related to bone ghosts and can complement each other's strengths, but he can't control water ghosts, sick ghosts and other unrelated ghosts."

"I tattooed him before, and used my tattooed ghost to help him suppress the bone ghost's recovery."

"But it's a temporary solution, not the root cause, and now my tattoo ghost can't help him."

Zhang Heng looked at the bone man.

The image of the bone ghost piercing the bone man's flesh and breaking out of his body emerged in his mind.

"let me try."

Zhang Heng asked Gu Qingqing to invite everyone out.

After the crowd dispersed, he took out the gossip mirror and placed it on the bedside, facing the bony man's face.

After finishing all this, he took out a wind and thunder flag, paid homage to the thunder flag again and again, and said something in his mouth: "The generals of the Thunder Department, the incarnation of wind and fire, support the Dao Dharma and vow to Hongshen, and the thunder suppresses the demon body!"

After reading, put the Fenglei flag in the bone man's arms and let him wrap his arms around it.

Holding the Fenglei flag, the bone man calmed down instantly, the bone ghost in his body was no longer active, and his painful face eased a bit.

"Can not be done!"

Although the method was effective, Zhang Heng was not happy.

His method can be used for a while, but it can't cure the root cause. The bone ghost is still in the bone man's body, and it will recover once the wind and thunder flag is gone. It's fine now, but the bone ghost in the body is temporarily suppressed by the force of the wind and thunder.

"Doctor Zhang, how are you doing?"

Seeing Zhang Heng coming out, Gu Qingqing hurriedly asked.

"It's fine for now."

Zhang Heng came to Hudao as a doctor, and after thinking about it, he added: "However, my method can only keep him safe for a while, and if I want to cure him, I have to control the second ghost for him. "

Gu Qingqing smiled wryly and said: "We have been looking for a second ghost that can be controlled by the bone man, but we have not found it. There is a blood ghost in the blood clothes forest, but we are not its opponent at all. Last time even President Xiao Fan I shot it myself, but was also forced back by that blood-clothed ghost."

Zhang Heng knew what Gu Qingqing meant.

She wanted to take action by herself, help deal with the blood-clothed ghost, and bring it back to the bone man to control.

But Zhang Heng refused without hesitation: "I made rules to allow ghosts to integrate into human society as city gods. The blood-clothed ghost did not do any evil. I killed it to save the bone man, which is no different from killing a person to save another. It's not going to break the rules I set out."

If you can kill the blood-clothed ghost today to save the bone man, will you be able to kill the white-clothed ghost tomorrow to save the pig man?

Is this fair?
No.

If he did this today, everyone in the Chiyou ghost crowd would be in danger, for fear that one day he would also be killed for this reason. In this way, Xiao Fengshen is just a joke.

"Don't feel disappointed. On the contrary, if I promise you, you should be careful."

"Because if I agree to you, it means that I am a confused person with no overall perspective."

"This kind of person can be a friend, but it's not enough to make a big deal."

Zhang Heng's expression was cold: "I am the hope of the Huangtu world, and I carry more than just your dreams."

Gu Qingqing seems to understand but not understand.

The next day, Gu Qingqing led the other members of the Ghost Fighter Alliance to attack the blood-clothed forest in a mighty manner, encircling and suppressing the blood-clothed ghosts.

Big defeat.

Two people were killed and five or six were injured.

Gu Qingqing was wounded all over her body, and she encouraged everyone's morale: "Although we didn't bring back the blood-clothed ghost, we did what we said before and never gave up on anyone."

silence.

Zhang Heng saw everything in his eyes.

In his eyes, Gu Qingqing is a leader whose heart is not hard enough and fists are not hard enough.

With such a president, the Ghost Fighter Alliance in Sifang County, is it a blessing or a disaster?
Zhang Heng didn't know.

He only knew that if he was a member of the ghost hunter alliance, he might sneak away in the dark because he was afraid that he would be killed.

Day three.

Under the pleading of the bone man, Zhang Heng withdrew the Fenglei flag.

Without the suppression of the wind and thunder, the bone ghost quickly recovered, a bloody skeleton broke through the flesh and blood, and stood up from the bone man's body.

"Five hundred catties of salt, one thousand bolts of cloth, plus ten catties of cinnabar, in exchange for this bone ghost."

"Two cocks, ten hens, and three hundred eggs!"

"make a deal!"

After that.

Zhang Heng gave the bone ghost to Sha Liang.

Shaliang was very happy, with the blessing of the bone ghost, his strength became stronger, and he jumped more than ten meters high.

Looking at the silly beam who was holding a handy shovel, coming and going like the wind, Zhang Heng whispered: "Every time you control a ghost, your strength will increase rapidly. The Gospel of the vengeful protagonist."

What 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.

Three years, just three years.

If you don't play yourself to death, you can play others to death.

With such a fast increase in strength, no one will believe you if you say that you have no blood and deep hatred.

"Left through the door!"

Zhang Heng nodded thoughtfully: "There are merits, right?"

clap clap clap.
The paper ghost clapped its hands happily.
