Bearing the blue sky

Am I already dead?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge's smile widened even more.

Hua Liusha, standing before him, asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhu Ge didn't answer that question, but instead replied irrelevantly, "I'm already dead, so what about you? What... are you?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Liusha's expression froze for a second, before a smile appeared on her face.

"You've already figured it out?" Hua Liusha's smile blossomed, making the entire night sky seem bewitching.

Zhu Ge smiled slightly: "You actually used Hua Liusha's body as a shrine. If you hadn't shown up, I might have thought your shrine was still in the village."

"But you blocked my way to see the ghost of happiness, obviously because you were afraid I would discover the real problem."

That's right!

The Hua Liusha before us is not the real Hua Liusha, but the body that Hua Liusha buried after his death!

The true soul of Hua Liusha has become a ghost of happiness!

If he were to arrive at the bridal chamber, open the door, and find that Hua Liusha's physical body was not present, he would certainly remember this.

The other god, clearly not wanting Zhu Ge to discover the location of his shrine, suddenly appeared to stop him.

Of course, there's also the time I encountered the Double Happiness Ghost.

Zhu Ge remembered clearly that it was because he used "Kunpeng" to perform an astral projection that the appearance of the Xi Gui was contained.

At that time, Yu Xiucai asked him to attack the "囍" character on the wedding room.

In addition, the wedding room was only recently built by Ma Laizi and his family; it wasn't something they had always had.

In other words, the "囍" character pasted on the bridal chamber is the dwelling place of the "囍" ghost!

Since the dwelling place of the 囍 ghost is in the character 囍, it cannot dwell in its own physical body.

Where did the real physical body go?

After all, Zhu Ge had seen Hua Liusha under the sun.

This proves that Hua Liusha, who sang the nursery rhyme that day, was the shrine of another god!

The body, as a shrine, is not afraid of sunlight; it is only afraid when it separates from the body to seize God.

The nursery rhyme that Hua Liusha sang at the time misled him about the existence of gods, making him think that the people in the village were tiger gods.

Furthermore, in order to strike at the wedding ghost, they even had the father and mother say things like "Hua Liusha is already dead."

The goal was to make him believe that the original owner's memories were correct, and that the Tiger God had simply used his accomplices to control the villagers.

From that day until now, Zhu Ge has finally confirmed that Hua Liusha's physical body is the real shrine!

"Oh? You found me, and so what?" Hua Liusha narrowed her eyes, gave a cold smile, and then quickly retreated.

"Don't even think about running!" Zhu Ge shouted coldly, his body rapidly approaching "Hua Liusha":

"Once I destroy this shrine of yours, the village's problems will be solved! I've practiced martial arts precisely so that I could destroy you today!"

Zhu Ge's voice was filled with murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, "Hua Liusha" changed from retreating to rushing forward, his expression carrying a hint of mockery.

However, Zhu Ge's body suddenly changed from advancing to retreating, and she turned around and ran away in a flash.

The two actions were performed almost simultaneously!

Hua Liusha froze on the spot, clearly not expecting Zhu Ge's move.

In the short two seconds it took to freeze, Zhu Ge had already run into the village and disappeared.

"interesting."

Hua Liusha gazed at the village for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the jungle behind him.

"It's a pity he's dead, otherwise he would have been perfect as my third shrine."

……

"Huff, huff..."

Zhu Ge gasped for breath and only had time to look back when he reached Yu Xiucai's doorstep.

Zhu Ge breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hua Liusha hadn't caught up.

joke!

He's only been practicing martial arts for a few days?

It's completely substandard and mediocre!

He only felt he could defeat a god in the Nirvana Realm after eating too much of the "See Hand Green" (a type of herb).

In this situation, the best course of action is definitely to run, not to stay!

Then, he looked towards Yu Xiucai's house and shouted, "Wake up, Xiucai! Come out now, come out now, we've made a big discovery!"

There was a commotion inside Yu Xiucai's room, and a moment later Yu Xiucai, with the faint glow of the character "Ru" on his chest, appeared at the door.

"What urgent matter is it?" Yu Xiucai asked nervously.

Zhu Ge immediately pulled Yu Xiucai to sit down beside her, basking in the moonlight, and recounted what had just happened.

He also discovered that, although Yu Xiucai usually left Zhu Ge and the others with the memory of being a strict father who hated evil as if it were his enemy, Yu Xiucai was actually a strict father.

But Zhu Ge guessed that this was a persona created by Mr. Yu and Scholar Yu.

A strict father and a loving mother are the best way to manage the village and help their Jianshan Village develop better.

After spending time with him, Zhu Ge felt that Yu Xiucai was a bit of a repressed flirt.

Just like his college roommate in his previous life, who pretended to be serious during the day, but was incredibly flirtatious when he was with them behind their backs.

Of course, when faced with true righteousness, whether one is secretly passionate or pretends to be serious, it all amounts to nothing.

"...The shrine is actually Hua Xiaomei's physical body?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiucai's breathing became heavier, but then he was filled with doubt:

"That's not right, Hua Xiaomei couldn't possibly become a shrine! Unless her internal organs developed their own consciousness?"

"That doesn't make sense either. Even if the internal organs developed consciousness, it wouldn't be that strong in a short time..."

Yu Xiucai muttered to himself, but he didn't doubt what Zhu Ge said.

"The shrine...the real body..." Zhu Ge seemed to understand something, but did not say what she was thinking.

"So what are your plans for tomorrow's Mushroom Festival?" Yu Xiucai asked Zhu Ge again.

Clearly, Yu Xiucai now has Zhu Ge as his core support.

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow will still ignite the whole village!"

Zhu Ge stroked his chin: "Hua Liusha already knows I'm here to find you, so she won't risk showing the shrine to anyone again. Only by detonating the whole village first can we better develop her hiding place."

"That makes sense." Scholar Yu nodded slightly. "But do you still want to make contact with the Wedding Ghost tonight?"

"Yes!" Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes: "To deal with the fake Hua Liusha, we still need the help of the real Hua Liusha."

He likes to prepare thoroughly before doing things, and it's always good to have enough trump cards up his sleeve.

While perfection is impossible, striving to be as foolproof as possible is fundamental.

"In addition, I also have some guesses about that god..." Zhu Ge and Yu Xiucai started chatting.

As the moon rose high in the sky, the character "儒" (Confucian scholar) on Yu Xiucai's chest faded away amidst the flickering light, and Zhu Gecai stared at his bloodshot eyes before returning home to sleep.

He didn't have the energy to look for the "double happiness ghost" today, and he figured that the god wouldn't allow him to do so anyway.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Zhu Ge decided to postpone everything until tomorrow's mushroom festival.

At that time, we must strike a fatal blow!

……

Tomorrow's Mushroom Festival is a matter of life and death, so Zhuge needs to get plenty of rest and be in good spirits.

As a result, Zhu Ge felt unwell again when she woke up the next day.

"This feels like I'm going to die..." Zhu Ge shook her head, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and her limbs were somewhat unresponsive.

Could it be a cold...? He forced himself to sit up, and after a while, he got up to get some water.

His pale face and bloodshot eyes were reflected in the water tank.

"This skin color is as white as if he'd been dead for three days." Zhu Ge thought of some jokes from her past life and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

It's already a miracle he didn't fall seriously ill after overdrawing his lifespan so much.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Today is the Mushroom Festival..."

"Both parents have gone out, and every household needs to grow mushrooms to eat."

"night!"

"The end will be tonight."
