"Yes, Mr. Zhou, the crying sound came from here."
A man said.
Zhou Kao asked, "Have you ever been inside to take a look?"
Someone nearby said, "We went inside and took a look. It was dark and damp, with a fishy smell. An experienced old man said it was the smell of a ghost. There must be a ghost inside. We didn't dare stay in there, so we sealed the shop with the door."
"Even if there is a ghost in broad daylight, what can it do? Can it eat you?" Zhou Kao said.
Zhou Kao walked over, immediately moved the door open and opened the shop.
As soon as I opened it, there was indeed a fishy smell coming out.
Yes, it is indeed the breath of a ghost.
Zhou Kao was not afraid and immediately walked into the dark and smelly shop.
Ghosts have always been the only ones afraid of him, not him.
When he walked into the store, he took a quick look and was stunned.
But I saw a corpse in the shop clinging tightly to a wooden pillar, with its feet entangled in it, trying to climb higher, with its head tilted to one side. It was obvious that it had been dead for several days.
Her body was stiff, but judging by her appearance and clothes, she should be a woman. She was obviously hugging the pillar because the house collapsed and she couldn't get out.
However, on top of this female corpse, she was seen holding a baby corpse in her hands.
The female corpse was stiff, pale, and a little swollen. She had been dead for many days.
The terrain here is low, so everything must have been flooded. Even if there was a female corpse below to lift the child up, he would still not be able to escape this disaster.
The baby's body lay limp in the woman's hands.
He was also drowned in the disaster.
“It’s them.”
When Zhou Kao saw the bodies of the baby and the woman, he immediately remembered who they were.
Chapter 74: The Young Hero Dies Young
The female corpse was named Zhang when she was alive. The baby above was her son, whom she had named Zhang Yingjie.
"Ten people produce a hero, a hundred people produce a hero, a thousand people produce a hero, and ten thousand people produce a hero, so I named him Zhang Yingjie, but I didn't expect his family to suffer such a disaster."
Zhou Kao was silent.
Reconciliation between the two words Yingjie?
The hero died young.
But this child shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this.
Zhou Kao and them were also predestined. He encountered this matter and
The pillar of the family died while fighting the enemy, and his wife and children also died.
At this moment, the mother and child are dead, and he can't do anything now, and can't save them.
He could only sigh, then walked over, jumped, and took down the baby's body.
"Huhu~!"
However, when he moved the corpse, a cold wind immediately blew in the dim shop.
He felt a cold wind in the house and immediately guessed that the baby's mother must have been obsessed with her after death and her ghost was lingering here.
The cold wind blew towards Zhou Kao, but before it touched his body, it was like it hit an indestructible wall.
It was smashed to pieces in an instant, and turned into several gusts of cold wind that scattered everywhere, lingering in the house, no longer as powerful as before.
Zhou Kao is now invulnerable to gods and ghosts. His blood and energy are like a furnace, and he has all kinds of blessings. These ordinary ghosts are like moths to a flame to Zhou Kao.
He didn't want to deal with the lady from the Zhang family.
But Mrs. Zhang was now unconscious and unaware of her current situation, and could not recognize him.
After being shattered, the dark wind gathered together again and turned into a force that rushed towards Zhou Kao again.
"Hoo~!"
A slightly cold wind blew by, but it completely dissipated before it got close to Zhou Kao. This time, the cold wind disappeared and did not condense into shape again.
Even though the newly born wronged soul had such a strong obsession, it bumped into Zhou Kao twice, and the damage it received was serious enough to cause the soul of this evil spirit to scatter.
Zhou Kao's eyes moved slightly at this moment, and he looked at the cold baby corpse in his hand and suddenly fell silent.
Mother's love...
Now the Zhang family’s wife is not even qualified to be a ghost.
"It was my recklessness today, Zhou Kao, that prevented you from becoming a ghost. However, you are also at fault in this matter. You are already dead, no longer a human, but a ghost. Although I am eager to protect my son, as a ghost, you should go to the underworld instead of staying here and preventing the people in the city from transporting the bodies. Compared to the lives of the living, you are really insignificant."
Zhou Kao added, "As repayment, I will personally choose a family for your son Zhang Yingjie to be reborn into, and guarantee that he will be rich and prosperous in his next life."
When he came across the Home of Heroes, he had to do something.
He could feel that the baby's soul was still in the body and had not left.
Zhang Yingjie was too young when he died. He had no obsessions, only physical instincts, so crying and shouting sounds were heard in the house.
After saying this, he wrapped Zhang Yingjie's body and strode away.
No sadness, no regrets.
He had seen too much misery and death. Now, the unexpected disappearance of the Zhang family lady was just a small part of all the tragedies.
"General, this Mr. Zhou...is he really not willing to be appointed as the Right Hundred Household Officer?!"
"That's a centurion!"
"This is really... drought kills drought, flood kills flood. My brother-in-law is still a small flag in the Flying Tiger Army. He has been looking forward to being promoted to centurion for almost two and a half years. Even if it's just a deputy, it would be great."
"General, you're not angry anymore?"
"Why should I be so angry? Could it be that I am so petty and think that Zhou Yixian is here just to offend me?"
Lin Yukun smiled and continued, "Besides, he also promised that if I need help to fight the enemy, he will come to help with a knife. This promise is already very impressive."
"How can he, alone, be able to defeat ten thousand enemies?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After Zhou Kao gave some instructions, he went to Zhu Yiran to ask if it was possible to capture the baby's soul.
What did she want? She needed her help.
A ghost messenger was arrested on the spot and asked to bring back Zhang Yingjie's soul.
This Zhu Yiran is indeed worthy of being a marquis from his family. He is so tough.
Zhou Kao placed Zhang Yingjie's body on the ground and said, "Help me draw out the soul of this baby."
"Yes, Master Zhou, Master Zhu."
Hearing Zhu Yiran say that this matter was so easy, the green-faced ghost soldier immediately responded and walked out. He grabbed the wrapped baby corpse on the ground and caught a white and chubby baby ghost.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Zhang Yingjie was crying loudly at this moment, as if he didn't like being caught by this evil soldier.
Zhou Kao said to Zhu Yiran, "Please look after him for a while. I want to find him a place to stay."
"Okay, but, brother-in-law, the soul of this baby should be sent to the underworld. It will easily dissipate in the world of the living and is not as good as an ordinary wronged soul." Zhu Yiran said.
As he spoke, Zhu Yiran took out a piece of precious jade and began to nurture it.
"Nothing, it will be fine in a day at most."
Then we walked towards the City God Temple.
This is the Little Tai Sui, and Zhu Yiran and the others are helping him with his advice. After all, the only one in this city who has any connection with the underworld is the City God.
Zhou Kao came alone. He did not let Yu Niang and the others come with him. He solved the problem by himself.
Normally, the City God Temple would be closed by now.
When Zhou Kao arrived, he saw that the temple keeper of the City God Temple was already waiting there. He was an old man who had difficulty seeing clearly.
"Excuse me, are you Zhou Kao, Mr. Zhou?" the old temple keeper asked with narrowed eyes.
"Exactly."
Zhou Kao nodded: "Does the old man know me?"
The old temple keeper smiled and said, "The City God just sent someone to tell me that a distinguished guest named Zhou Kao would be arriving today, and asked me not to close the temple gate. Now I see a young man walking alone towards the City God Temple. He must be the Zhou Kao, or Young Master Zhou, that the City God mentioned."
"I see." Zhou Kao nodded.
It is true that there is a god above our heads.
I knew it before I even came to Chenghuang.
It seems that the City God is very concerned about his every move.
Zhou Kao thought calmly.
"Mr. Zhou, please come this way. The City God has been waiting in the temple for a long time." said the old temple keeper.
"Thank you." Zhou Kao nodded.
As soon as he entered the City God Temple, he smelled a strong aroma of incense everywhere. The smell was extremely pure, without any trace of paper ash.
Such a strong incense scent can only be possessed by a serious god.
Zhou Kao discovered that except for the outer wall of the City God Temple which showed signs of being flooded, the inside was dry, as if it had not suffered any flood.
Haha, Qiantang County suffered such a great disaster, but there are still so many incense sticks in the city god temple.
Chapter 75: Settling Revenges Later is a Virtue
Zhou Kao walked along with the smell of incense, and soon he saw a middle-aged man in a vermilion official uniform standing in front of the main hall of the City God Temple, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
It’s the City God~!
Zhou Kao's heart trembled, but he saw that the City God's body was solid, just like a living person, without the slightest sense of ethereality. If this person was not the same as the statue in the City God Temple, he would really have thought that it was an official standing here.
However, the City God is different from ordinary people after all. The candlelight nearby shines on the City God, but no human figure can be seen.
Zhou Kao saw the City God wearing a vermilion official uniform.
To be honest, this was his first time dealing with a god.
"I am Zhou Kao, and I would like to meet the City God of Qiantang City." Zhou Kao bowed.
Zhou Kao used the tactic of using courtesy first and then force very well.
The City God's expression changed slightly, and he hurried out, smiling and returning the greeting, "The Star Lord has visited my humble abode. I, a mere City God, dare not address you as sir. Young Master Zhou, please just call me City God. I heard from those two ghost soldiers that Young Master Zhou would come to my humble abode to pay me a visit. It is truly a great honor to meet you today!"
Star God? Zhou Kao's expression remained unchanged at the title of City God.
Zhou Kao did not ask about the City God's misunderstanding or what he knew.
He just felt that it would be easy for him to kill him. Zhou Kao touched the big knife he always carried with him.
"You are too polite, City God." Zhou Kao said.
"Mr. Zhou, please come in. The banquet is ready inside and we are waiting for you to take a seat." said the City God.
Zhou Kao said, "How can I trouble the City God to prepare a banquet and wait for him?"
"If it were someone else, I would definitely not host this banquet, but since it is Master Zhou's words, I must host this banquet. You are the Star God who descended to the world,
I am the City God of the underworld. In terms of seniority, Master Zhou is far superior to me. Now that you have arrived, how can I not prepare a banquet to welcome you?"
The City God said, "Come in, please."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Kao followed him to see what tricks the City God had up his sleeve.
After entering the City God Temple, he found that the City God Temple was like a palace, magnificent and majestic. There were charming dancers dancing inside, and melodious music was floating in the air. There was fragrance everywhere and a hint of smoke.
It doesn't look like a place where ghosts live, but more like a residence of gods.
"It's not an illusion, but the real appearance of the City God Temple."
Zhou Kao took a quick look and immediately came to a conclusion in his mind.
Some are extravagant, and some are, damn!!
Everything in the underworld, as long as it is within this land, is under the jurisdiction of the City God. He can even intervene in matters in the world of the living, influencing the actions of mortals in the world through means such as sending dreams and summoning souls.
