On the top of a mountain in the Underworld that reached the clouds, a monster was sleeping. No one knew how long this monster had slept, because no one had ever climbed to the top of this mountain. Today, something strange happened on the mountain. Countless spiritual qi surged towards the top of the mountain, forming a spiritual qi vortex. At first, the suction force of the vortex was very small, only a few feet in radius. Slowly, the suction force of the vortex became stronger and stronger, expanding from a few feet to a few miles in radius, and then from a few miles to a hundred miles. Finally, all the spiritual qi in a thousand miles radius was sucked away by the vortex, forming a vacuum zone. At the center of the whirlpool was the monster. As the spiritual energy entered the monster's body, the monster slowly began to wake up. When the monster opened its eyes, the spiritual energy whirlpool slowly disappeared. The vacuum area within a thousand miles returned to its usual calm, but the spiritual energy was a little thin.
"A thousand years have passed? I didn't expect that little fellow called Yuan Tiangang to actually have some real ability. He actually injured me to such an extent that I needed a thousand years to recover my divine soul. However, he was also injured quite badly back then, right? Judging from the power of his dao technique, he must have used a forbidden technique that burned his life force. He must have burned at least twenty years of his life force to injure me to this extent. Sigh, what a pity. However, I have to thank that little guy for waking me up from my Qi deviation.”
He didn't expect that the monster sleeping on the mountain top was the Taotie that was heavily injured by Yuan Tiangang a thousand years ago.
"Sigh, I didn't expect that the king of the Nine Li Race would turn into a ferocious beast after my death. Is this my punishment? Not respecting the power of heaven and earth, not respecting the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the only result would be death! Forget it, forget it. Now, it's time to go to the human world."
The human world, the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, 2010.
"Strange, why aren't the street lights lit today? Was there a blackout? Sigh, it's already so late. Li Yang, oh Li Yang, of all places, why did you have to sleep at Yanggu Mountain? It was fine if you slept, but you couldn't even catch the bus. It's already ten o'clock at night, and you're still a few kilometers away from the county. A big lazy pig, a big stupid pig!"
Looking at the county town a few kilometers away, Li Yang wanted to cry but had no tears. They would go up the mountain at two o'clock and stay at the top of the mountain for half an hour before going down the mountain. They would arrive at the foot of the mountain at four o'clock in the afternoon at most. Then, they would play in the amusement park at the foot of the mountain for an hour. They would take the bus back to the county town at five o'clock. They would stay in the county town for one night and take the bus back to the village the next morning. Now, everything was gone. When he woke up, it was already past six o'clock. The amusement park was closed, the last bus had left, and the sky was dark. There was no guest house, so he could only walk back slowly. You want him to camp at the foot of the mountain for the night? He didn't dare to do that. It was uninhabited for tens of kilometers. Anyone would be scared to death.
"Eh? There was someone in front? She looked like an old granny? Grandma, Grandma."
There was actually an old man standing by the roadside with a walking stick. Li Yang was overjoyed. Someone had said that there was a house and he could stay for the night. It was so far from the county town. By the time he reached the county town, it would be two or three in the morning. Where would the guest house be open? At most, I'll just give the old man money. It's not like I'm staying for nothing.
"Young man, you can see me?"
Seeing Li Yang running up to him, the old man revealed a surprised expression.
"Grandma, what are you saying? How can I not see a living person? By the way, where do you live? Can I stay at your house for a night? I overslept on the mountain and waited until I went down the mountain. The bus left, so I had no choice but to walk back. I really can't walk at night. Seeing you is really blessed by Buddha! Don't worry, I won't stay here for free. I can give you money.”
"Hehe, young man, you're really bold! You still dare to walk alone in the middle of the night. However, you really can't stay in this old woman's house. I don't want to harm you. Also, you're polite, honest, and kind. This old woman will give you some advice. No matter what you see or hear tonight, don't pay attention to it. Don't hit on anyone. Remember Grandma's words. You must remember them and never forget them. Also, when you feel that someone is behind you, don't ever turn around!”
"Don't turn back? Yes, I'll remember it. But why?"
"Today is the 15th of July."
"July 15th?" Li Yang's head was filled with question marks. She lowered her head and thought,'What's wrong with the 15th of July?
"Grandma, where is your home? Let me send you back. Grandma? Grandma?"
Li Yang couldn't figure out what day it was on the 15th of July. He thought that the old man was old and his legs were not good, so he sent the old man home. However, there was no answer after asking a few times. When he raised his head, he realized that the old man was gone.
"Child, remember not to walk at night again."
A warning echoed in Li Yang's ears, but no one was there.
"July 15th, July 15th, July 15th is the Ghost Festival."
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings and thinking about the old granny who had disappeared, Li Yang finally remembered what the 15th of July was. The 15th of July was the last day when the gates of hell opened, which was also the Ghost Festival. And that granny was a ghost.
"Ah…"
Li Yang broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of chatting with the ghost for a while. He screamed and ran frantically towards the county town. He did not want to stay outside for even a moment. Today was the Ghost Festival! Bad things would always come out. Fortunately, he had encountered a good ghost. If it were an evil ghost, he would probably have become a ghost by now.
"Hahaha, I actually saw a living person in the wilderness. God is really helping me! With you as my substitute, I can finally be free and reincarnated. Hahaha, give me your life!"
Li Yang, who had been running, suddenly realized that she could not move. She lost control of her body and walked towards a crooked tree by the roadside. On the crooked tree was a male ghost in red, whose face and neck were covered in blood. His eyes were white and bulging, and his tongue was purple. Li Yang struggled with all her might, trying to control her legs to retreat and escape from the hanging ghost, but it was useless. Li Yang felt a pair of hands around his neck. He was terrified. His eyes were wide open, and his heart was in his throat. He didn't want to die. He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound. His brain had stopped working. Li Yang knew that he was going to die, and no one would save him.
"Hmph, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I just arrived in the human world. A lowly ant dares to provoke my Jiuli Race. Moreover, you are this king's descendant, you deserve to die even more!”
Just as Li Yang was about to be killed, a monster suddenly appeared in the sky. Li Yang's head was dizzy and his eyes were a little blurry. He did not hear what the monster said clearly. He could only vaguely see that Hanged Ghost was eaten by the monster and then lost consciousness. His heart stopped beating.
"Although I didn't find the head, it's worth it to see my descendants. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. This little fellow breathed in less and breathed out more. If you want to save him, you can only rely on him and use your spiritual power to extend his life. Kid, you're lucky. Perhaps this is fate?"
The monster turned into a beam of purple-red light and burrowed into Li Yang's heart. The purple-red light shone brightly on Li Yang's body. When the light disappeared, her heart started beating again.
