The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

It can steal the Book of Life and Death and create a fake ghost gate. It seems that the evil ghost is extremely powerful.

Lu Shi and Chu Jingshuo both thought of this.

After discussing, the two decided to go back and prepare things to deal with the evil spirits, and then have a good rest. After all, neither of them had slept for a day and a night.

It was already dawn when Lu Shi and Zi Xiao came down the mountain. They touched their flat stomachs and packed two meals before going home, which Lu Shi took back home to eat.

Lu Shi walked to the door of his apartment and was about to take out the key to open the door when he inadvertently glanced at the door opposite and was surprised to find that there was an aunt cleaning the apartment diligently.

All along, Lu Shi thought that the apartment opposite was vacant, after all, he had never seen anyone going in or out.

Could it be that there have always been people living here?

At this moment, the cleaning lady also noticed Lu Shi standing at the door, and immediately a warm and friendly smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to greet him.

"Hey, girl, hello! Judging from your appearance, you must be a new tenant. I didn't expect our husband to have neighbors!"

After hearing what the aunt said, Lu Shi realized that there were only two families on the entire floor, and coincidentally, they lived opposite each other.

Auntie noticed the two meals in Lu Shi's hand, and a trace of inquiry flashed in her eyes, "Girl, you haven't eaten yet, there are two people in your family?"

Lu Shi nodded perfunctorily, then, without caring about her expression, turned around, opened the door, and closed it in one go.

Auntie sighed inwardly at Lu Shi's cold and slightly impatient attitude.

She actually had no bad intentions.

It’s just that this floor was my husband’s private property and was later rented out.

We just rented out one apartment, but for some reason, the boss ordered us not to rent it out anymore yesterday.

And my husband has never lived here before, but now he's asking her to come and clean the room before he's even been discharged from the hospital...

She always felt that there was some story behind this.

So when she saw her only neighbor was opposite the room chosen by her husband, she thought it was her husband's sweetheart.

I didn't expect that the other party had already lived with someone else.

It seems that she still has too many thoughts and tends to overthink things.

The girl next door wouldn’t think that she has any bad intentions, right?

She seems like an annoying old lady with a big mouth...

Oh, I'll make something to eat and apologize later.

But after Lu Shi finished his meal, he fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Adhering to the principle of not getting up from sleep, Lu Shi slept until three in the afternoon, then hurried out to have a meal, completely missing the aunt next door.

When Lu Shi arrived late with a small cloth bag, he was greeted by Chu Jingshuo's cold face.

Lu Shi turned his head slightly to the side, pretending not to notice Chu Jingshuo's cold expression, and shouted nonchalantly: "Okay, let's set off quickly and go up the mountain!"

After saying that, he walked towards the mountain.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, the two began to climb the mountain.

Chu Jingshuo fell behind with a stern face and said nothing.

Lu Shi in front walked very fast, without any sign of effort. Even when facing the rugged mountain roads, she was still able to maintain a fast pace and did not even slow down for a moment.

Chu Jingshuo gradually couldn't keep up with her pace, but he was also strong-willed. He gently adjusted the straight suit he was wearing, then slowed down his pace without leaving any trace, and let out a long breath.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi walked away, and Zixiao floated out, following Chu Jingshuo with a sarcastic tone.

It kept circling around Chu Jingshuo, making a sarcastic sound: "Yo, Brother Strong can't keep up?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that someone who looks so tall and strong could actually be so weak."

Hearing this, Chu Jingshuo's breath suddenly stopped, and his already cold temperament instantly became even colder.

He glared at Zixiao fiercely, and without saying a word, he gritted his teeth, held his breath, and quickened his pace to chase after him.

Not long after, he successfully caught up with Lu Shi and surpassed her without hesitation.

Lu Shi, who was left behind, looked at Chu Jingshuo's strange behavior and was a little confused for a moment, but still followed him closely.

It was already completely dark when the two finally arrived at the stone tablet.

Just like yesterday, they first worked independently and split into two teams.

Lu Shi stopped and walked around the stone tablet, doing small movements that Chu Jingshuo couldn't understand, and then he slowly sat down, quietly waiting for that scene to come.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and three large characters appeared on the ordinary stone tablet again. The so-called "Black and White Impermanence" appeared and brought back a soul.

But coincidentally, the ghost was lured back last night.

The ghost had a confused look on his face, and his eyes showed even more fear than yesterday.

The two "ghost messengers" didn't know there was someone in the dark and actually started chatting.

The tall, thin ghost in white clothes said in confusion, "This ghost looks familiar. Did we hook him before?"

The fat black ghost didn't care. "Who cares? This one is the closest to us. We can just pick any one and get through."

The ghost messenger in white nodded in agreement, "That's true."

"I don't know why that old ghost is so addicted to acting. He has to perform every day. It's so annoying."

A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the Night Ghost Messenger, "That old ghost is very powerful, we can't do anything to him."

"That's fine. My shift is tomorrow. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow night."

The ghost messenger in white sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect that even as a ghost I wouldn't be free. If I had known this, I would have wasted more time in the human world."

The words of the two ghost officials disappeared in the wind. Lu Shi looked into a pair of eyes in the distance, and then they took action in tacit understanding.

Just like last night, the two followed quietly.

The two worked together, one knocked out a ghost messenger, and then Lu Shi skillfully put the three little ghosts into the Qiankun bag he carried with him.

Afterwards, Lu Shi transformed into a tall and thin ghost messenger in white clothes, while Chu Jingshuo transformed into a short and fat ghost messenger in black clothes.

Chu Jingshuo's expression didn't need to change, he could just be treated as a ghost that was brought back.

Lu Shi scanned the guards along the way one by one and found that apart from their large numbers, there were not many powerful ones. They were all a bunch of small fish and shrimps.

The little fish and shrimp saw them and greeted them with a smile, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.

Next they arrived at the "Hall of Hell".

Lu Shi and Chu Jingshuo retreated to the two sides of the platform respectively.

Zixia knelt down reluctantly.

The guy sitting on the high seat, pretending to be a ghost from Yama's palace, shouted in a majestic voice, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

"My name is Zixiao."

"Ah."

The man dressed as a ghost in the Hall of Hell touched his beard and slowly took out the Book of Life and Death.

Lu Shi's eyes lit up and he approached the evil spirit calmly.

The evil ghost flipped through the Book of Life and Death but couldn't find Zixiao's name. He coughed a few times uncomfortably, then slowly closed the book and talked nonsense seriously.

"Hmph! Considering that you haven't committed any heinous crimes, but have committed small mistakes one after another, this ghost has sentenced you to the animal realm, letting you experience the pain of being cooked and slaughtered!"

The ghost's voice was eerie and terrifying, echoing endlessly in the dim hall.

Zixiao: “…”

Why should he be banished to the animal realm for the same crime as yesterday?

Damn evil spirit!

Chu Jingshuo, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw Zixiao being humiliated, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Zixiao took a look and almost gritted his teeth. He looked up and started winking at Lu Shi.

Lu Shi lived up to expectations. With a flash, the Book of Life and Death, which was originally in the hands of the evil spirit, was in Lu Shi's hands.

"How dare you!" The evil ghost became furious upon seeing this and shouted harshly.

It was at this time that he finally noticed the difference between Lu Shi and Chu Jingshuo.

Lu Shi and Chu Jingshuo simply lifted the illusion and returned to their original appearance.

Seeing that the two dared to openly provoke him on his territory, the evil ghost felt a surge of anger rushing to his head and was uncontrollable.
