Chen Xuan learned from Madam Hua that the building they were in was called Du'e Building, which was the center of Ghost City. It was usually guarded by the ten evil ghosts in order to prevent the evil ghosts in Ghost City from going crazy and leaving Ghost City.

Hua Niangzi ranks second. The burly man is called A Meng, who is a thug in Du'e Tower. The scholar is called Gui Yun, who is responsible for the formation in the city. The ferocious man with six arms is called Gui Sha, who is a ghost corpse. Then there is Xuan Lingzi, who was a Taoist priest when he was alive, but was expelled from the sect because of his mistakes. Later, he always lingered in the alley of willows and flowers, and looked like this after his death.

Chen Xuan counted them and found that there were only five ghost kings, and the other five had not appeared yet.

Lady Hua saw what he was thinking at a glance, pointed upstairs, and whispered, "They are all on the fourth and fifth floors. They don't like others to disturb them. If you want to play, just stay on the lower three floors."

Chen Xuan nodded obediently.

Madam Hua prepared a room for them on the second floor. It had a partition inside, so it was no problem for the two ghosts to live there.

Chen Xuan put Xie Zhixing on the bed. Seeing that he had been moved around and showed no signs of waking up, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Lady Hua lowered her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with this little ghost?"

Chen Xuan paused and said, "He was frightened unconscious by the Thousand-Faced Ghost."

Lady Hua said, "Is that so? Then let Xuan Lingzi come and take a look at him."

Having said that, she went out to call for help without waiting for Chen Xuan's consent.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but think: "Isn't Madam Hua too enthusiastic?"

He warned himself in his heart not to let his guard down against these ghost kings. If he was eaten by them by accident, he would be doomed.

At this moment, in the corridor on the third floor, Madam Hua was leaning against the stair railing waiting for Xuan Lingzi to come down.

When he got closer, he leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Check to see if there's anything wrong with that little ghost's soul."

Xuan Lingzi thought he was talking about Chen Xuan, yawned and said: "The soul of that Taoist kid is fine."

"It's not him, it's the one Guiyun brought back after you left. He is now lying on the bed to rest." Madam Hua looked serious for a rare time. Even Xuan Lingzi felt something was wrong and stopped his lazy movements.

They arrived at Chen Xuan's room and went straight to Xie Zhixing who was lying on the bed.

Xuan Lingzi directly grabbed Xie Zhixing's wrist, and before he could make any movement, he let go under the gaze of the two.

"It's okay, just wake up and you'll be fine."

Chen Xuan looked at him doubtfully. Is it okay if he just shook his wrist?

"gone."

Xuan Lingzi got up and left the room. Lady Hua smiled and said, "He has just that kind of temper. Don't mind it, little brother. I haven't even asked you your names yet."

Chen Xuan paused and said, "My name is Xuan Zhi, and his name is Xie Zhixing."

"What did you say your name was?"

Xuan Lingzi, who had already left, came back again.

Under Chen Xuan's puzzled gaze, he asked, "Is this your Taoist name?"

Chen Xuan nodded: "Yeah, I guess so."

"Yes is, no is not, what does it mean?" Xuan Lingzi frowned unhappily, and the red mole between his eyebrows seemed to become brighter.

"So is there something wrong with my Taoist name?" Chen Xuan asked.

Xuan Lingzi sneered and said, "If this is really your Taoist name, the person who gave you this Taoist name is really a weirdo."

Chen Xuan was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Xuan Lingzi said: "Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders."

This is the first chapter of Tao Te Ching. It is mysterious and profound, and it is the gateway to the mysteries of the universe, the earth, and all things.

"If you don't have a very good fate, you can't suppress this name. Boy, you should have good luck, right?"

Chen Xuan's expression became very subtle. How to say it, it was better than most people anyway, jumping back and forth between the European Emperor and the Unlucky One.

Xuan Lingzi left again. This time, Hua Niangzi went with him. Before leaving, she told them to have a good rest.

The two people went out of the door and walked upstairs tacitly. After arriving at Xuan Lingzi's room, Madam Hua waved her hand and drove out all the little ghosts in his room.

"Tell me what's going on."

"No need to look." Xuan Lingzi poured a cup of tea for Madam Hua, and his expression was more serious and solemn than when he was talking to Chen Xuan just now. "There is only one soul, no spirit."

Lady Hua was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I had a feeling when I first saw it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

These ghost kings have been in the Ghost City for at least a hundred years, if not a thousand years. They have probably seen more ghosts than humans. They know better than anyone what a complete soul looks like.

Madam Hua drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp, stood up and waved her sleeves, saying, "I'm going to go upstairs to find the boss. Please pay attention and keep an eye on those two little guys."

"Ah."

After Lady Hua left, those little ghosts dared to rush in. The charming female ghost lay on Xuan Lingzi's chest, with another one massaging his shoulders from behind, and two handsome young men massaging his legs from below. Anyone who saw this would say that it was a real pleasure.

"You seem to be in a bad mood today?"

Xuan Lingzi lay on the chaise longue and closed his eyes. Only the little ghost closest to him could hear the name he was saying.

"Xuanzhi."

"Xuanzhi, what a good name."

The ghost girl asked curiously, "Master, who are you talking about?"

Xuan Lingzi curled his lips and smiled: "I'm afraid it's a child left by an old friend."

He closed his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the time when he was still alive.

"If I have an apprentice in the future, what name should I give him?" The unruly swordsman held the sword, and every word he uttered seemed to carry the sharp sword energy, but also seemed to be accompanied by a gentle spring breeze, like the intimacy beside the ear.

"With your temper, would you still accept a disciple?"

“Of course I won’t.” The man hooked his hand around his neck and stuffed the long sword into his arms. It was so heavy that he almost couldn’t hold it. He laughed again: “If you don’t accept an apprentice, who will help you hold the sword? You are so weak, I don’t want to tire you out just holding the sword. I have to carry you back.”

"Then call him Xuanzhi. Only the one who can bear this name is worthy of being your disciple, right?"

……

Xuan Lingzi covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and couldn't help feeling confused.

How can a swordsman teach his apprentice to practice Taoism? And he looks so weak. Could it be because of his natural yin-yang eyes?

"A-choo!" Chen Xuan sneezed several times in the room. He originally wanted to go to the partition room to sleep, but he was afraid that Xie Zhixing would not understand the situation after waking up, so he decided to stay by his side and watch over him.

Fortunately, Xie Zhixing woke up faster than expected.

"Where...is this place?" Xie Zhixing looked at the magnificent room, his face full of confusion. Why did he feel like he was still in a dream?

"This is Du'e Tower." Chen Xuan yawned sleepily and described what happened during his coma in the simplest language.

Xie Zhixing quickly understood the current situation and asked, "So you want to stay here?"

From the tone of his voice, he seemed to not want to stay here.

Chen Xuan asked doubtfully: "Don't you want to?"

Xie Zhixing shook his head and said, "I don't think this is a safe place. It's better not to stay here."

"Oh, that's fine. Once we've rested, we'll go."

Chen Xuan immediately decided to go with him, which left Xie Zhixing stunned.

With a hint of confusion on his face, he asked, "Do you really want to come with me?"
