After Rebirth, I returned to Miaojiang to inherit my family business - Chapter 47

Wu Rong didn’t expect the little ghost dog would come out of Liu Hu’s soul. If it wasn’t for the fact that its aura gave Wu Rong the same feeling as that of the big dog, Wu Rong would still be on guard, fearing that there would be another ghost, besides the statue of Hu Xian, in Liu Hu’s place. Like a weasel statue, white grandma statue and stuff like that. 

“Woof!”

The little ghost dog jumped in front of Wu Rong, circling around his ankle affectionately, it looked too small, and it still stumbled when running. Wu Rong wanted to find out what was going on between it and the big dog outside, so he hugged the little ghost dog. But just as Wu Rong picked up the little ghost dog, a pale translucent hand stretched out from behind him abruptly, grabbing the puppy and throwing it away.

“Hey！”

Wu Rong instantly became nervous and stretched out his hand to reach for it. The little ghost dog flew away in a straight line, like a black shooting star, but in a blink of an eye turned into a black mist, dispersing and coalescing. This time, it was no longer in the form of a puppy. The giant dog, with a shoulder height of nearly two meters, stood tall in the gloomy clouds, rushing behind Wu Rong and whining. Baring his fangs, he lowered his body in hostile vigilance, and made an attack posture as if he was enraged. 

An irresistible force pulled Wu Rong backwards, his nose felt cold, and his eyes were covered in blood red again. The big ghost’s aura was rising steadily, just like it was when fighting against Hu Xian. Wu Rong couldn’t see the situation of the battle ahead, and sensed the indifferent and murderous intent of the big ghost. He said anxiously: “It’s not the enemy, it’s my dog!”

The big ghost didn’t respond.

By the way, the big ghost had his five senses sealed, so he couldn’t hear sound.

“Woof grr!”

Wu Rong heard the furious and aggressive roar of the vicious dog soul, and its rumbling was endless. A vicious dog couldn’t defeat a big ghost, but even if it died, it would ‘rescue’ Wu Rong. The barking of the big dog became more and more rapid and manic. Wu Rong couldn’t train the big ghost, so he simply wanted the evil spirit dog to leave here, and come back after he took back the big ghost.

But the big dog couldn’t understand human language! It noticed that Wu Rong’s tone was anxious, and its roars turned even crazier and angrier than before. Even Wu Rong, who was blocked by the big ghost, could feel the sudden and violent ghostly wind, gloomy and cold, as if the northern winter had arrived in an instant.

He couldn’t let them fight anymore!

Wu Rong tried his best to communicate with the big ghost, he tried every means to get away from behind him, but in vain, he grabbed the big ghost’s long hair in desperation and pulled it back. It was all because the big ghost’s long hair was too conspicuous, always dangling in front of Wu Rong’s eyes. This trick of pulling its hair was really too much… it couldn’t be put on the table, but Wu Rong couldn’t really use his tricks against the big ghost. 

Ghost hair felt the same as human hair, only colder and smoother, like icy silk. Although Wu Rong’s nonsense didn’t turn the big ghost back, it was indeed helpful. Flicking the sleeve of it’s robe, the back of the big ghost’s left hand precisely grasped Wu Rong’s wrist, as if to warn him not to move around. Obviously, he didn’t feel anything before, but suddenly he felt a little ashamed when the big ghost held Wu Rong like this.

Frowning and letting go of the hair in his hands, Wu Rong thought for a while, and quickly bit his fingers to write on the back of the big ghost’s jade-like ice-cold white hand.

【My, dog】

Wu Rong tried his best to slow down and write clearly. But when he tried to write the word “dog”, the blood on his fingers dried up, and the roar of the big ghost dog in front gradually became sad and bitter, which made Wu Rong very worried. He held the big ghost’s hand tightly and repeated the word【My】 on the back of his hand. Suddenly, the big ghost’s grasp on Wu Rong’s wrist loosened, and the growl of the dog suddenly disappeared. 

Wu Rong’s heart tightened, and various bad thoughts crossed his mind one after another. The next moment, a strand of hair in front of him was cut off by the sharp nails of the big ghost, and then the big ghost stuffed it into Wu Rong’s hands impatiently and indulgently.

Wu Rong: ? ?

Wu Rong felt a little dumbfounded. The big ghost thought that the “My” he wrote meant that he wanted the big ghost’s hair. This was really…

Wu Rong shook his head helplessly, but his inexplicable feelings towards the big ghost were not as fearful and wary as before. Thinking of the evil dog soul, he hurriedly pushed the big ghost away to look forward, this time the big ghost didn’t stop him again, Wu Rong walked out and saw the huge black figure tens of meters away at a glance. 

Fortunately it was still intact.

Wu Rong heaved a sigh of relief that nothing serious happened to the vicious dog soul. Seeing Wu Rong coming out, the vicious dog soul immediately stood up, its pointed ears raised and its tail wagging as if chasing shadows. Those red and black shiny dog eyes looked at Wu Rong loyally, and then turned the corners of its eyes up, full of viciousness. Staring at the big ghost hostilely, a threatening growl came out of its throat. The big ghost turned a blind eye to it and completely ignored it.

Just like a knight who couldn’t beat the dragon or rescue the princess, the big dog would blame itself to death. If it hadn’t been for seeing that the big ghost had no tendency to attack Wu Rong, and that the big ghost was too close to Wu Rong and it was too dangerous, it would have risked its life to save Wu Rong.

Wu Rong didn’t know how to communicate with the two of them, and he was a little tired, he couldn’t pull his hair and write a blood text every time. Taking advantage of the peace, Wu Rong looked at the hair in his hands. This big ghost’s hair was not too much, it was as long as a finger, and it was cold and smooth.

Everything from a ghost could be used by the ghost raiser, just like Wu Rong’s ghost hand from before, all things could be used as an attack method for the ghost raiser. 

Ghost hair was also a common attack move, but it was usually used by female ghost raisers. Although Wu Rong had long hair now, he’d still have a short haircut after going outside. Sudden hair growth would only reveal his new attack method. Wu Rong originally planned to grow a little hair slowly, and that was also for his future Gu.

After thinking about it, he wrapped the ghost hair around the base of his fingers, planning to wait for his hair to grow longer before braiding it into his own hair.

This strand of black hair wrapped around the base of his finger three or four times, and the ends snapped together automatically, like an inconspicuous ring. After having it, Wu Rong’s heart skipped a beat, and the ghost’s emotions, which could only be felt vaguely and occasionally, suddenly became clearer, as if the connection between the two was closer. Although it was not very obvious, because the starting point was at such a low level, even a slight change could attract Wu Rong’s attention.

His eyes couldn’t help falling on the hair of the big ghost again, lost in thought. 

A hair ring will do just that, if he cuts a little bit more of the big ghost’s hair, and wrapped it around every finger.

Would it be possible to perceive more?

The big ghost, which was standing still like a stone sculpture, suddenly left Wu Rong’s side and walked towards the east. At that moment, Wu Rong thought his thoughts had been exposed, but in the blink of an eye, he realized that there was a deafening thunderous noise coming from the barren hill again, and the big ghost was walking towards the barren hill.

“Ding ling ling——” 

On the barren mountain, Wu Rong suddenly realized that after the big ghost appeared, all his thoughts were on the big ghost, and he didn’t notice that the sound of fierce fighting on the barren mountain had stopped for a long time.

“Ding ling—”

The ringing of chains and bells sounded from under the big ghost. When he was standing still, the hem of his blood-stained robe dropped to the ground. When he moved, the corners of his robe flew up, and the sound of chains sounded. Only then did Wu Rong see the silver chains dragging on the big ghost’s ankles. It had thick little links and was very long, which didn’t affect walking much, and it’s silver color was very dull. Those crisp sounds did not come from bells, but from several crosses hanging from the chains.

This looks a bit like something from the Western Federation, but he estimated it to be the same as the gold needle and thread. It was a sharp weapon for sealing ghosts. How could there be so many seals on the big ghost? 

Wu Rong was about to observe carefully, but then, the dark silver chain and cross were covered by the blood-stained robe again. Wu Rong looked up in a daze, and found that the big ghost had stopped and stood quietly on the spot. Although he didn’t look back, Wu Rong somehow knew that the big ghost was waiting for him. Wu Rong turned his head and looked at the vicious dog which was far behind, wishing it could run to him immediately, and sighed helplessly.

Wu Rong originally planned to communicate with the evil dog soul after the big ghost was gone, after all, he was a little worried about the big dog’s current state. No matter how you phrase it, Liu Hu was once its contractor, and if Liu Hu died, the vicious dog soul should be seriously injured, but now it seemed that it was not the time to communicate.

Wu Rong took a few quick steps and got behind the big ghost. Just as Wu Rong thought, the big ghost continued to move forward after he caught up. The sound of jingling bells and chains sounded again, and it seemed extraordinarily lonely on this empty and desolate blood-colored plain. Other than that, the big ghost didn’t make any sound, and was silent.

A person, a ghost, and a dog walked forward, one in front of the other. Ignoring the chains, and only looking from behind, the big ghost didn’t look like a ghost. He didn’t have any deformities on his body, and he didn’t have any of the chaotic mutations that ghosts usually have. The big ghost’s skin was pale, the kind of paleness that was slightly transparent after not seeing the sun for a long time. His bloody clothes covered the layers of blood-stained wounds on his body. 

Loneliness.

This word suddenly appeared in Wu Rong’s mind. Time stagnated on the big ghost, and it would not change for thousands of years. When the ghostly aura on his body gradually disappeared with the ringing of the bell, Wu Rong felt in his trance, that the big ghost was like a traveler in the world, an ascetic, without past and future, walking silently on this land, alone, but never he stopped walking.

Wu Rong noticed that every step the big ghost took was dripping with blood, and it turned into nothingness before it hit the ground. He seemed to be carrying something on his back, and every step he took was very heavy and steady, like a mountain that stood upright for thousands of years, which would not be shaken despite the wind and rain. But its speed was not slow, Wu Rong had to walk fast to keep up, the big ghost never looked back, just walked forward, but every time he distanced himself from Wu Rong, he would stop and wait.

The big ghost’s quiet and withdrawn personality was really not like a ghost. 

It was rare that the big ghost came out and did not return to his arm immediately. Wu Rong took this rare opportunity to observe carefully. Whether in terms of appearance or personality, the big ghost had no ghostly aura at all.

“Clack— clack—”

At this moment, a resentful ghost staggered towards Wu Rong. They were already some distance away from the battlefield just now, and the ghostly aura from the fierce battle did not permeate here. The ghosts naturally increased again. Suddenly seeing the resentful ghost, Wu Rong was still a little surprised, he subconsciously looked at the big ghost. It was only then that he realized that all the ghostly aura in its body had disappeared, and it couldn’t detect it.

No wonder this resentful ghost didn’t run away, but dared to come over. 

After staying here for a long time, Wu Rong felt that the Yin Energy on his body was heavier than that of the current big ghost. For the resentful ghosts, Wu Rong was an extremely delicious meal, with a fragrance that wafted away. More and more resentful ghosts and evil spirits appeared, attacking Wu Rong like hungry beasts smelling meat. Probably because of the proximity to the barren mountain, their number was far more than the ghost group Wu Rong encountered at first, and there were even a few Undead Crows and Flying Heads in the sky.

Wu Rong pulled out the old Miaodao coldly, and the little green snake on his shoulder stood up alertly, hissing and flickering its tongue. The resentful ghost that appeared first had already arrived in front of the big ghost, and walked towards Wu Rong greedily, like nothing was obstructing it.

At this time— 

Tear!

In fact, there was no sound when the resentful ghost was torn apart, but Wu Rong still unconsciously heard the sound of paper being torn apart. Because it was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the big ghost, and it was torn in half before it could scream. The big ghost’s pace didn’t stop, in front of him were hundreds of ghosts with resentful spirits, and the flyings heads screamed and charged at Wu Rong.

But all these ghosts were crushed by the big ghost lightly. When fighting Hu Xian before, Wu Rong was always blocked by the big ghost, so he didn’t see how he fought, but now Wu Rong finally saw it. 

The corpses of the ghosts piled up higher and higher, piled up beside the big ghost like a hill. The Flying Heads and Undead Crows in the sky exploded into balls of bloody foam as long as they approached. The big ghost had no weapons, he just used his own hands. Thousands of ghosts were torn apart and crushed in the palm of his hand, simple and brutal, just like a well-trained killer, a slaughter machine without emotions. This was not a few, but a dozen, dozens of ghosts. Hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of evil spirits and resentful souls.

Corpses were strewn all over the field. If ghosts had blood, the pool of blood here may accumulate enough to drown the pile of corpses. Anyone who saw such a shocking scene would be stunned and wouldn’t believe their own eyes. The sky and the earth were covered by the thick black ghost energy permeating from the death of so many ghosts, and you couldn’t even see your fingers.

There were really a lot of ghosts gathered here, the big ghost had killed a lot of ghosts, but more ghosts were still attracted by Wu Rong, the closer to the barren mountain, the more the number, and there were many more powerful ghosts among them. Wu Rong suspected that they should all be ghosts from the barren hills, they were driven down because of the fierce fighting on the hills, and then they lingered here. Although the resentful ghosts had no consciousness, the overly strong ghost aura made them flinch.

In the end, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ghosts, and the gathered ghosts were densely packed like a dark ocean, but every time the big ghost took a step forward, all the ghosts would take a step back in unison. This scene was even more shocking than the unbridled slaughter by the big ghost. 

A large number of ghost corpses piled on top of each other all the way, and Wu Rong found that the big ghost was walking in a straight line leading to the barren mountain, and no ghost attack made him deviate even a little bit. The big ghost just slaughtered the ghosts, but did not eat them to absorb ghost energy. Wu Rong released the little green snake after observing for a while, and now, the ghosts were no longer sent to death, and a road leading to the barren mountain was opened. Wu Rong followed closely behind the big ghost, and the little green snake crawled back to Wu Rong’s shoulder from the pile of ghost corpses, happily like an old lady who just finished shopping.

Very heavy.

Many ghosts died, and the little green snake also picked carefully. It had stored the purest ghost energy and brought it back to Wu Rong. Its body shape remained the same, but it was countless times heavier than before, like a heavy ice-cold ghost. A small weight.

The sound of wild beasts biting and shredding corpses came from behind him, and the evil ghost dog following behind never allowed anything to be leftover, devouring all the corpses whose pure ghost energy was taken away by the little green snake. All the ghosts could be killed by the big ghost, but it didn’t want to eat the food that came from him. The evil ghost dog ate it vigorously, ate them desperately, it could only save its owner if it became stronger! 

Wu Rong had already followed behind the big ghost to the barren mountain. This barren mountain was very big, you could tell from a distance, but after reaching the foot of the mountain, Wu Rong realized that it was not only towering and endless, with no end in sight, but also very strange. The barren mountain was not complete. On one side was a relatively gentle hillside, but on the back it disappeared like a knife, and was as steep as a cliff. Behind the mountain was a dark and deep abyss.

If you looked around, you could vaguely see the rising and rolling mist in the abyss. It seems that there was something extremely terrifying hidden in the ground. Wu Rong felt his scalp go numb just by looking at it from a distance, and a sense of crisis ran through his whole body like an electric current.

Those ghosts don’t dare to go up the mountain, the corpses at the bottom of the mountain were surrounded by the little green snake and the evil ghost dog, and the ghost fog couldn’t come up. The battle on the mountainside was still going on, and Wu Rong could already see what the two sides were fighting for. The huge, skinny fox phantom fiercely opened its bloody mouth, biting the bloody mud. At this time, the blood mud faintly transformed into a human form, wrapping tightly around the fox’s body like a giant python.

It was Hu Xian himself who was fighting the blood mud! Both of them were an extremely powerful spirit and ghost. Wu Rong could still see their fierce fighting figures reflected in the clouds halfway up the mountain, while Wu Rong was still at the foot of the mountain. Wu Rong even felt that the power and strength they exuded when they fought was almost comparable to that of the Bone Ghost King seen in his dream. 

But the big ghost did not hesitate, and walked step by step along the stone steps, up the mountain till he was halfway up the mountain, as if there was something attracting him to the barren mountain.

Wu Rong let the green spirit Gu return to the locust wood snake carving, he intuitively thought that this barren mountain might be the core of this weird world, and it might be the key for his return. The higher he went, the more dignified Wu Rong’s expression became, and beads of sweat were faintly oozing from his forehead. He didn’t know why the barren mountain attracted the big ghost, but Wu Rong felt the invisible pressure shrouding the mountainside.

The higher he went, the heavier his body became. The heavy pressure was like a mountain on Wu Rong’s shoulders, and he seemed to have turned into an ordinary person again. This kind of heavy oppressive feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time. At the same time, Wu Rong felt more and more hostile and alert. This barren mountain gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, just like a frog meeting a snake, which was naturally hostile to its predator.

There was a slight heat in his arms, and a warm current poured into Wu Rong’s body. It was the relic Buddha beads. His nerves suddenly relaxed, and only then did he realize that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat, and his breathing was slightly short of breath. For a moment now, Wu Rong’s consciousness was filled with cold and dark thoughts, and he almost fell into a hallucination. 

Destroy.

Destroy everything from the mountainside.

Even now, Wu Rong still didn’t know what was there, but he instinctively hateed and resisted it to the extreme. Thanks to the relic beads, he was able to regain his mind.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Rong found that the big ghost was waiting for him in front of a pavilion. 

The pavilion was very small and dilapidated. It’s unknown when it was built. It is the kind of small pavilion on a mountain for tourists to rest. The paint on the pillars had long since peeled off, the wood was mottled, covered with a fluffy substance like moss, but it was dark red. The pavilion was already very close to the mountainside, and you could vaguely see the sand, stones, grass and trees flying due to the fierce battle.

“Why didn’t you leave?”

Wu Rong was puzzled and walked to the side of the big ghost who was standing still. At this moment, there was a deafening explosion on the mountainside, and blood mud poured down from the sky like rain, mixed with Hu Xian’s furious and angry roar. The situation of the battle on the mountainside was reaching its most intense moment!

Subconsciously, Wu Rong took two steps forward to look at the battlefield, but the next moment, the world spun around and his feet flew into the air, Wu Rong only had time to grab the cold clothes in front of him to stabilize his body, feeling horrified in his heart. 

The big ghost actually picked him up!

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to the Bone Ghost King, who has become the unit of measurement for this article’s force value before his official appearance!

Hu Xian [joyfully]: Ha, I know what he’s going to do! Is it time for the scene I’m looking forward to, I can’t wait— 

Jinjiang: beep——

Hu Xian [turning pale with shock]: Why did I disappear from the neck down! What are these red locks on my face!

The next chapter will end this dungeon!

The big ghost and Fu Qing are gongs, don’t worry!
