Chapter 32 The greedy ghost who suspects ghosts!
Chapter 32: The greedy ghost who doubts the ghost!
Ten bright moons hang high, and the phantoms pass by under the moon.
In addition to the terrifying beast roar, there are also ghosts entrenched in dark corners. During the day, the golden crow fire was hot, and the ghosts did not dare to sway across the market. At night, when people fell asleep, the ghosts began to move.
At the beginning, the ghosts were discussing and cursing the cruel King Xi in groups, but soon everyone forgot about this.
Devour the moonlight and absorb the popularity left by people during the daytime activities, the ghosts are very busy.
In a residential house somewhere in Xidu, an old man got up at night to pee. Suddenly, he heard a slight sound from his own granary.
Originally, the old man didn't dare to wander around late at night, but the granary was too important to their family. It was the lifeblood of their family. The harvest of the year was all inside.
If the thief is stolen, the family will starve to death in winter.
So the old man plucked up his courage and walked over with a torch and a wooden stick.
Crunch!
When he pushed the door open and saw the old man's eyes immediately glared, his pupils filled with fear.
It was a green monster, with a human figure, but a big face, especially the mouth, which was even more terrifying. The mouth was full of mucus, and his hands kept stuffing the millet in the granary into his mouth, looking terrifying!
"Ghost!"
The old man was frightened and fell to the ground, exclaiming instinctively.
A greedy ghost is stealing food at his own home!
The old man was both afraid and distressed. These foods were the harvest of their family’s hard work for a year. He was counting on them to spend the cold winter and was eaten by ghosts, and their family was finished!
The greedy ghost ignored the old man and continued to eat food in a big mouthful of food, grabbing a lot of food. Anyway, it was not the food I planted by myself, so I wouldn’t feel sorry for ruining it!
The old man was so angry that he was about to faint. His body was trembling. He wanted to drive him away but did not dare to do it. However, at this moment, he remembered the decree issued by the king who was rumored by his neighbors during the day, which seemed to be to rectify the ghosts.
So, the old man began to yell: "I'm catching a ghost, there's a ghost that is showing off. Come and report to the king, let the Lord Wu Zhu come to catch the ghost!"
The greedy ghost was very embarrassed and gave up stealing food and turned around to deal with the yelling old guy in front of him.
The old man was so scared that he shivered, holding the torch and swaying around, intimidating the greedy ghost.
The greedy ghost was very disdainful. The ordinary flame did not cause them fatal damage. The old guy in front of him was exhausted and he was no match for it at all. So the greedy ghost was evil and jumped towards the old man.
But unfortunately, before the greedy ghost could commit crimes, neighbors soon rushed over.
Xi was very quiet at night, and the old man's loud roar immediately attracted the attention of his neighbors.
If it were in the past, at this time, not many people would dare to come out and sweep away the snow in front of the door. No one would want to touch such unlucky things as ghosts. However, because of the king's decree, the ghosts that push stones and milled stones greatly reduced the inner fear of many people.
"There are no ghosts? The people from the Witch Temple are coming to catch ghosts right away!"
"What a wild ghost, so scary!"
"Don't be afraid, I heard from the witches and prayers during the day that we would not dare to come around if we were surrounded by ghosts."
thump!
Even though the greedy ghost in the air suddenly stopped, the number of people became more and more powerful, and the qi and blood became more and more intense. The greedy ghost instinctively retreated.
"Why aren't you afraid of ghosts anymore!"
The greedy ghost roared, and then people couldn't hear it. When they saw the greedy ghost, they really didn't dare to step forward. Their fear was greatly reduced. Some ignorant hairy children actually pointed at the greedy ghost. Obviously, they regarded the ghost in front of them and the ghost pushing the mill as the same animal.
"A wild ghost, hurry up and catch it. If you dare to eat the food from the scalper's grandfather's house, the king will definitely grab it and push it to the mill."
People can't hear lies, but ghosts can understand human voice. A few days ago, the greedy ghosts were sleeping in a deep sleep, and they woke up slowly tonight. However, after waking up, he found that the whole world had changed.
The timid and fearful farmer, the old farmer, didn't run away when he saw it, and even shouted, "What's wrong with this world!"
And those neighbors, who had heard of ghosts before, locked the door tighter, buried their heads in the quilt, and dared not say a word.
Now, all the brushes come out.
Seeing its grandfather's majestic body, these people were not afraid, but their eyes were filled with excitement, and the children even threatened to arrest it.
The greedy ghost feels like he suddenly becomes a different world.
"What's wrong? What happened these days!"
The greedy ghost keenly felt a little wrong, and was not in the mood to teach the brave mortal in front of him a lesson, and was ready to run away.
"Little kid, where can I run!"
Soon, a group of soldiers with strong qi and blood arrived, surrounding the hut was filled with water, and there was even a Wu Zhu pressing the formation behind him.
The soldiers guarding Xidu are different from ordinary civilians. They are full of energy and blood, and have a great restraining effect on ghosts. A large group of people surrounded them, and they are simply unable to escape the ghosts like Greedy Ghost, let alone Wu Zhu is present.
The greedy ghost was crying: "I just stole some food, and I can use such a big formation?!! Army, Wu Zhu, I am just an insignificant little ghost!"
Wu Temple Wu Zhu: "After the king's order, you will be arrested, surrender and not killed, you will dare to resist, and you will be killed without mercy!"
The greedy ghost is pitiful: "Grandpa Wu Zhu, the little ghost is wrong. He just stole some food and did not harm others..."
"You complain to the king!"
As Wu Zhu used his methods, the greedy ghost conquered and captured it.
For a moment, the night was bustling with people, which was never-ending, and the people were talking about it.
The little ghost who "harmds people" was really captured by Wu Zhu. In the past, the Wu Temple also caught ghosts, but never was so quick, as if they were ready.
That night, Yao Yun was practicing the "Ten Witches of Lingshan". When he heard that a little devil was arrested on the spot due to a crime, he was so excited that he just lacked a typical example of establishing his authority, and now he was delivered to his door.
So, Yao Yun put on his clothes in the middle of the night, rushed to the Wu Temple in person, and examined the greedy ghost overnight!
There are many people watching the excitement in this world. In the middle of the night, relying on the number of people, I am not afraid of darkness. I rush around the witch temple, waiting for the king to come and try the greedy ghost.
"The king is here!"
I don’t know who shouted, but soon the palace guards cleared a way for Yao Yun and walked into the witch temple with a majestic spirit.
The scalper complained that the greedy ghost stole his family's food. The defendant's greedy ghost was arrested on the spot, and both people and stolen goods were captured, and countless witnesses were witnessed.
The case trial was very simple, and Yao Yun quickly gave a verdict.
"The defendant was arrested for stealing food because it did not hurt people, and the circumstances were minor, and the death penalty was exempted. He was fined for three months of labor reform and effective from now on!"
As the victim, the greedy ghost is at a loss and doubts the ghost!
"King, I am a ghost, not your subject, and I am not yourselves. Why should I arrest me? I was enslaved by you during my lifetime, and I will still be in charge of everything after death. You are still not a human being!"
"King Xi, Yao Yun, you are not a human being. You are a tyrant and you have become a ghost. You won't let us go!"
"I didn't hurt anyone, I just ate some food. Why did you catch it? Don't? Grandpa Wu Zhu, don't put a spell on me...ah..."
In the past, people were afraid of ghosts because they came and went without a trace. People had no choice but to deal with ghosts. Now the king even cared about ghosts and even asked them to sentence them like humans. This is never possible.
With Yao Yun's verdict, the people of Xidu began to cheer and celebrate, just like celebrating a bumper harvest.
In the shadow, countless ghosts were also silently paying attention to this scene, and soon the ghosts were stunned.
The greedy ghost is really caught and pushed to the ground!
