Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 121 Shameless

The red-haired ghost king originally planned to admit his cowardice, give this human saint a face, and return a dozen fierce ghosts to him. After all, if he really fights, even he, the ghost king of the underworld, can't beat this human saint.

Ghosts and gods are not close, all evils are warded off, this alone makes him have no way to deal with Li Xiuyuan.

Who knew that it wasn't enough for Li Xiuyuan to take away more than a dozen guards, and he also set his sights on his precious cloth bag.

"This king only has one thing, I won't give it away," the red-haired ghost king said with a dark face, "You'd better leave as soon as possible, and don't catch my king's attention."

"You are also the king of the underworld. You are sitting in a city. You have no treasures, just a cloth bag. Give it to me. Don't be so stingy. Look, I was beaten by your subordinates just now. I don't want to put it down now." Did you have a peaceful conversation with Ghost King about all the preconceptions before?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The red-haired ghost king glared at him: "If you don't give what you say, you won't give it. Why are you so annoying."

"Let's just treat it as a good relationship. At worst, I'll return it to you after I die. That's okay." Li Xiuyuan said.

The red-haired ghost king hesitated.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan felt that there was something interesting, and continued: "You, the ghost king of the underworld, can live for thousands of years, but I can only live for 100 years in the mortal world. If you give it to me now, it means that 100 years will not be used. When I die in 100 years, I won’t be able to use it, so I’ll return it to you, and you won’t lose anything. Look, am I right?”

Hearing this, it seems to be somewhat reasonable.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan's appearance again, the red-haired ghost king felt that if he didn't send this person away, something might happen again today.

This sage in the world had only walked less than a circle in the ghost city, and he suffered so much damage to his Yin soldiers, and the three ghost generals were also sent flying.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and untied the cloth bag from his waist, and threw it to Li Xiuyuan.

"I only lent it to you for 100 years. After 100 years, the king will take it back."

Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed, and ended up with the cloth bag: "Okay, no problem, I will change you after 100 years, I am a scholar, and I speak with sincerity, right, what is the function of this cloth bag, and how is this cloth bag used? Is it okay to throw it like this?"

After speaking, he shook the cloth bag again, and found that it was just an ordinary cloth bag without any peculiarities.

"How to use it yourself has nothing to do with this king. If you don't know how to use it, you can return it to me now." The red-haired ghost king said with a fierce twitch.

Unexpectedly, he didn't know how to use this cloth bag at all, so it was a waste of money to give him such a treasure.

"How can I take back what was given to me? There is no such reason in this world." Li Xiuyuan said.

The red-haired ghost king said: "I didn't give it to you, but I lent it to you. You have to pay it back after 100 years."

"Then shall I write you an IOU so that you won't worry about it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"No, I will take it after 100 years." The red-haired ghost king said, "I hope you won't hide it and not return it to me."

"You can tell from my appearance that I am a very honest person. How could I not return something I borrowed? This cloth bag is very safe and secure with me. Don't worry about ghost kings." Li Xiuyuan said seriously.

"You can leave now." The red-haired ghost king gritted his teeth and said.

"Isn't the ghost king not welcoming me?" Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise

The red-haired ghost king suppressed his anger and said, "Even if you are a saint in the mortal world, you have been in the underworld for a long time. Beware that the mortals will think you are dead after staying in the underworld for a long time, and they are holding a funeral for you."

Li Xiuyuan made a salute and said: "The ghost king reminded me that it has indeed been some time since I came down to the underworld, and I should leave now, so I won't disturb the ghost king any more, so I will leave."

After speaking, he took Tieshan with him, and the ghosts of Li Zhong and others turned and left.

Seeing that this scourge was finally about to leave, the red-haired ghost king was slightly relieved, and his mood of about to be furious only slightly improved.

"Ghost King, please stay and don't need to see him off." After walking a few steps, Li Xiuyuan turned back and said.

"This king didn't send you off." The red-haired ghost king growled.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "This is the etiquette in the world. If a guest leaves, he should say this sentence. This is not for the host, but for outsiders, so that outsiders passing by can know the host's enthusiasm for this family. The owner of the house is a warm and polite person, and spreading the word like this will also increase the family's reputation and reputation, although the ghost king's hospitality is not very good, but I still can't lose this guest gift."

"This king has never seen such a brazen person." The red-haired ghost king growled in his heart.

He injured countless ghost soldiers of his own, wounded his three great ghost generals, and even took away a treasure from himself, and in the end he was still talking about the courtesy of guests.

What's going on in the mortal world now, why are people's hearts in a state of confusion, even saints are like this?

"Young master, is it okay to leave like this? That's the ghost king of the underworld." On the way, Tieshan said a little frightened.

Looking back, he saw that the red-haired ghost king was snorting, and black smoke was coming out, like a volcano about to erupt, which made people tremble with fear.

"What's the problem? You also said that he is the ghost king of the underworld. In the underworld, he can be king and hegemony, but he is not the king of the mortal world. Besides, you were detained by this red-haired ghost king. How could I not come? Help each other." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Don't pay attention to the red-haired ghost king, he doesn't dare to do anything, let's go back now."

Tieshan asked; "Master, where are we going?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Naturally, go back to Yangjian and Guobei County. I built a temple for you in the county. You will go to Guobei County to be local ghosts and gods. You can take care of your family and enjoy incense. It's better than here." Stay strong in the underworld? By the way, if anyone wants to reincarnate, tell me, I will ask Chenghuang later to see if he can help arrange it."

"Can you also arrange reincarnation?" a guard asked in surprise.

"I'll know this after asking, but it can be arranged in the future. If it can be done, I have to try it. Do you want to reincarnate?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

Nineteen guards, think about it, let me see, and finally made a decision.

"It's better not to reincarnate the little one. After reincarnation, he will be a doll again. It will take 18 years to become a good man." A guard shook his head, expressing his unwillingness to reincarnate.

"The young one also thinks that being a ghost is pretty good, it's almost like being a human being, and the young one is willing to go back to Guobei County with the young master."

"Small ones too."

The dozen or so guards expressed their willingness to return to the underworld and their reluctance to reincarnate.

They haven't done enough to be human beings, how can they be willing to reincarnate properly.

"In that case, I will take you all back to Yangjian." Li Xiuyuan said.

Soon, the group left the ghost town.

But when Li Xiuyuan came to the place where the City God was before, there was no trace of the City God and his Yin soldiers.

"Hey, is that the City God of Guobei City? Why is it gone?" Looking around, there was still no figure of the City God.

Have you waited too long to go back?
But when Li Xiuyuan was thinking this way, a guard suddenly pointed in the direction of the ghost city and said, "Young Master, look, there is something wrong there."

Xun Sheng looked at it, but saw a thick smoke flying towards this side quickly from the direction of the ghost city, but behind the smoke, the red-haired ghost king also turned into a black cloud and pursued aggressively.

"It's the City God." Li Xiuyuan saw the figure of Guo Bei City God in the cloud of smoke.

"Well, you city god, how dare you come to my ghost city to steal something, quickly put it down for me, otherwise you will be the imperial city god and I will eat you." The red-haired ghost king's furious voice was like It sounded like thunder.

From this tone, it seems that the city god took advantage of the previous effort to sneak into the ghost guards, and threw away something important from the red-haired ghost king, which made the red-haired ghost king furious.

At this moment, Cheng Huang ran away quickly without saying a word, not giving the red-haired ghost king a chance.

"This City God of Guobei City." Li Xiuyuan frowned. He was a little suspicious of this City God's motives before.

Why would Tieshan and the others be detained by this red-haired ghost king? The underworld is so big, it doesn't have to be near the ghost city of the red-haired ghost king.

Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that the city god escorted Tieshan and the others through this ghost city on purpose, so that they could be detained by the red-haired ghost king and then lure him here.

This is calculating yourself.

Li Xiuyuan secretly thought in his heart.

And the purpose of this calculation is probably for something in this ghost city, and it is precisely that thing that attracted the red-haired ghost king to chase after him.

"You can't believe nonsense these days, and you can't believe everything that God says."

For a while, Li Xiuyuan's favorable impression of this Guobei City God dropped to the lowest level, and even a bit of disgust appeared in his heart.

"Perhaps in the eyes of these gods, I, a sage on earth, is still too kind. I was respected by the red-haired ghost king in the ghost city before, but this city god actually set up such a trick for me. Take advantage of it."

For a while, a few different thoughts popped up in his mind.

When he looked at the City God again, he was a little more cold.

However, he didn't blame the City God for planning against him. He was also at fault. It was because he became dependent on the gods that gave the City God an opportunity.

There is a saying that is good, if you stand on a wall, you can be strong without desire.

"Master, it seems that the ghost king and the city god are about to fight." Tieshan said suddenly at this moment.

"It's none of our business, let's go." Li Xiuyuan said.

Since this City God has some schemes, why should I bother with his frivolous affairs.

The guards nodded, ignoring the battle between the city god and the ghost king, and followed Li Xiuyuan immediately.

Going back the same way, the gate of the Chenghuang Temple was not closed, and there were many Yin soldiers holding their hands there, lest the ghosts of the underworld would take the opportunity to escape.

"I've seen Mr. Li." The Yin soldier guarding the gate saluted Li Xiuyuan immediately when he saw Li Xiuyuan came back.

Li Xiuyuan just nodded in response, without saying much, he immediately walked out of the underworld and returned to the Temple of the City God.
