God and Demon Killing Platform: I can summon the gods of China

Chapter 105: Trap 1: Zhong Kui

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Steve smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your cooperation. To ensure everyone's safety, please continue to stay here during this period."

"Don't worry, there will be people to deliver your meals, and don't worry about going to the bathroom, there are portable toilets."

"I hope you all enjoy your stay."

Done.

Steve walked out into the hall alone.

As soon as I went out, I saw a group of staff in suits standing outside.

They held the documents and waited for instructions.

"The funds are in place. The next step is to collect evil spirits throughout the alliance."

"By the way, the evil ghosts should follow the list I gave you: jack-o'-lanterns, witches, werewolves, vampires..."

"Halloween is coming soon, and these common Halloween ghosts will definitely become more powerful by then."

Steve threw a pile of documents to the staff, which recorded the information of each summoner.

"Thousand Ghost City + Halloween spooky system..."

"Honestly, if we still can't defeat the Dragon Nation like this, I don't know what to do."

……

The night wind was very noisy.

Zhang Cheng lay on the rooftop, looking down from above.

The bright lights illuminate the darkness and guide people back home.

In the city, cars are constantly shuttling back and forth, high-rise buildings are like steel forests, and suspended tracks run through the city.

The whistling of the cold wind could be heard from time to time.

"Why, are you worried alone?"

The system sister appeared in front of Zhang Cheng in a flash, floating in the air, looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Cheng shook his head, "I'm not worried, I just think the changes are a bit big."

"Tell me, if I die one day in the future, will Dragon Country continue to prosper like it does now?"

The system pinched its chin and thought for a while, then said:

"do not know."

"Why think so much? Isn't it better to cherish what you have now?"

"Come on, come on, here's the beer I bought for you downstairs, moisten your throat."

As she said that, she handed the beer to Zhang Cheng.

Hissed.

Pull the tab open.

The beer spilled.

took a taste...

"Huh? It's not ice, that's not good."

Zhang Cheng put the beer aside. As we all know, beer is like a kind of black tea.

The icy ones are the best, the cold ones are like horse urine.

"Drink it or not, it's up to you."

Sister System curled her lips and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, there is something I want to tell you."

"In Summoning Gods and Ghosts, there appeared a guy who likes to stay at home and doesn't want to go out."

"If you summon him, remember to inform him in advance, don't let him stay at home and not want to go out."

What?

Zhang Cheng frowned. A guy who stays at home and doesn’t like to go out?

"The Saint who bestows blessings on the house—Zhong Kui?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Zhang Cheng spread his hands and said, "I guessed based on the name."

"I am not a stay-at-home person. I am the Holy Lord who protects my homeland."

The system sister waved her hand, "Oh, that's enough, I just reminded you."

"Okay, that's it, bye~"

Done.

With a whoosh, it disappeared from Zhang Cheng's sight.

"That's weird, why did you tell me this?"

Zhang Cheng sensed a hint of conspiracy.

He felt that System Sister said this on purpose.

The purpose is to let him summon the Saint Lord Zhong Kui.

But what was her intention in doing so?

Is it because he has a good relationship with Saint Lord Zhong Kui and wants him to come out and show his presence?

Zhang Cheng was puzzled.

But what he didn't expect was.

"Saint Lord Zhong Kui..."

"So he can be considered a summoned creature."

Zhang Cheng carefully searched his memories about Zhong Kui.

According to records, Zhong Kui was an ambitious young man who was proficient in both civil and military affairs, and he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

With his talent, he could have become the top scholar, but because of his ugly appearance, he failed.

Zhong Kui's protests were in vain. He eventually became depressed because he had no place to display his talents. In a rage, he hit himself against a pillar and died.

after that.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had been ill for a long time. One night, he met a strong man in his dream.

The strong man captured the little ghost, cut off its body, ate its eyes, and shouted to Emperor Xuanzong, "If you fail the imperial examination, Zhong Kui is here!"

later.

Zhong Kui was named the Holy Lord who bestows blessings and protects the home by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was revered by people.

As to whether Zhong Kui is a human, a ghost or a fairy, there are different opinions among the people.

But for sure.

Zhong Kui holds a very high status in people's hearts.

In ancient times, almost every household would have a picture of Zhong Kui posted on their door to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

"If possible, I also want to see Zhong Kui's true face."

Zhang Cheng felt a vague sense of anticipation in his heart.

Just when he had this thought.

He didn't notice.

In his mind.

The system trembled slightly.

At the same time, a helpless sigh was heard.

Hey!

Not long after Zhang Cheng left,

On the rooftop,

The five figures gathered together as if they had telepathy.

They are Ox-Head, Horse-Faced Devil, Black and White Impermanence, and System Sister.

"It's done. Zhang Cheng is planning to summon Saint Zhong Kui. Let's see how he hides this time!"

Hei Wuchang's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Bai Wuchang seemed a little worried. "By the way, is it too explicit for Sister System to say it like this?"

"I think we can change our strategy. Otherwise, if Saint Zhong Kui finds out, he will be furious."

"Be angry if you want!"

The rugged bull-head grumbled,

"We agreed on this when we were playing mahjong before. Whoever loses will volunteer to compete next time."

"What's the result? Saint Zhong Kui lost but refused to admit his defeat. He even asked us to start over. We can't let him deny his defeat this time no matter what we say!"

"What I, Old Niu, hate most is people who don't pay their debts!"

This story begins a few days ago.

At that time, the Black and White Impermanence and other underworld officials were wandering around the human world and happened to meet Zhong Kui who was drunk.

Thinking of making some extra money, he asked Zhong Kui to play mahjong. In fact, he just wanted to make some money from him because he was a novice.

As a result, Zhong Kui had no money.

I had no choice but to make a pact.

Whoever loses will take the initiative to participate in the competition.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Zhong Kui sobered up and regretted his decision!

"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Niu, please speak more slowly."

Seeing that the Bull-Headed One was still talking nonstop, the Horse-Faced One hastily reminded him,

"Saint Lord Zhong Kui is our superior after all, and we still have to give him due respect."

"What are you afraid of!"

Niu Tou didn't care. "He's not my boss, so he can't control me."

"Besides, he still owes me two strings of paper money!"

"I admit that I admire Saint Zhong Kui very much when it comes to catching ghosts, eliminating evil, and protecting the people."

"But this can't be an excuse for him to shirk his debts at the poker table!"

Upon hearing this, all the summoned creatures present nodded in agreement.

"Only Saint Zhong Kui can do this. If it were someone else, I, Old Cow, would have turned hostile long ago."

"I'll definitely hit him on the head with a fork to see if he dares to default on his debt again."

Niu Tou became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked up at Heibai Wuchang and the others, but found that they were unusually quiet, their eyes were wandering, and they seemed to be trembling.

"Ok?"

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

"Zhong...Saint Lord Zhong Kui." The Horse-Faced Master's voice trembled slightly.

"What? Old Ma, you are joking."

"It's so late now, Saint Zhong Kui has gone to bed early. If you want to fool me, you have to find a suitable time."

As Niu Tou spoke, he turned around and saw a tall and strong figure standing silently behind him.

Niutou: "..."

Slowly turn back,

Pretend you saw nothing.

"Let's go...let's go, we should go back and rest."

"The wind is really noisy tonight... hehe."

Before he could finish his words, Niutou wanted to escape.

But he was grabbed by Zhong Kui.

"Niu Tou, what did you just say?" Zhong Kui narrowed his eyes, emitting a terrifying aura.

He had a strange and ferocious appearance, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his wild beard made him look even more terrifying. Even ghosts would exclaim "What the hell!" when they saw him.

"Uh……"

The bull's eyes rolled around, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"oops!"

"Isn't this the famous Saint who bestows blessings on the house? Why aren't you asleep so late?"

"Are you here to admire the moon, too? Oh, I have to admit, the sky is really nice tonight."

"The moon is as round as a jade plate."

Niutou said, looking up at the sky.

But I only saw a crescent moon.

Niutou: "..."

"forget it."

"Since Saint Lord has heard everything, I, Old Cow, will not pretend anymore."

The bull head seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and suddenly became strong.
