Chapter 36: Entering the Ghost Town

Taking a step out, the next moment Lin Feng discovered that he had already entered the interior of Changshou Town.

It was just that the scene before his eyes was completely different from what he had seen from the outside; there were no pedestrians coming and going, nor were there brightly lit streets.

All there was was an old shop with a dim oil lamp in front of him and a dark, damp street.

What was even stranger was that Su Xiao and the other ghosts beside him were gone; now he was the only one left here.

Moving his gaze, Lin Feng looked around, but didn't find anything special.

This place was like those ancient streets, revealing signs of dilapidation and decay everywhere: walls built of bamboo strips and mud, moss-covered tiles, and protruding eaves.

The door panels of the old shop in front were half-closed, and the light of an oil lamp inside was flickering slightly. Through the light of the oil lamp, one could see wreaths of bright colors placed inside the shop.

"When things are abnormal, there must be demons. You want me to go in, but I won't!"

Lin Feng tried to summon back the three scattered ghosts. With the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture*, those ghosts could return to the pages of the book anytime and anywhere.

Soon, the first Tou Gui appeared quietly on the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture*, followed by the Puppet Ghost and the Tanshi Gui returning one after another.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt reassured. Clearly, the Guiyi here had no way to suppress the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture* from functioning.

"I just don't know how that kid is doing. If he died here in an unclear way, it would be a real injustice."

Then, Lin Feng looked up again. Under his feet, green ghost fire burned rapidly, directly illuminating this dark street.

However, what surprised Lin Feng was that the ghost fire under his feet suddenly went out before it could spread very far.

"Ghost suppression, or is this area actually just a separate Ghost Domain?"

Lin Feng turned around and set his gaze on the old shop in front of him again. Now it seemed that the key to the problem was in this aspect.

"Still want me to go in?"

A smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, and then the child-like Tanshi Gui appeared again.

"Go, eat everything inside!"

As Lin Feng's voice fell, the Tanshi Gui immediately drilled into the shop, and then a strange change happened instantly.

The originally quiet and dim shop suddenly began to stir. The light of the oil lamp flared up with a "bang," and at the same time, the wreaths in the shop turned into twisted ghost faces one after another.

It was obvious that the Tanshi Gui entering inside had broken the internal ghostly balance and triggered the killing rules of the unknown ghost in the shop.

It was a pity that what entered inside this time was not a living person but a real ghost, and it was the Tanshi Gui that possessed the ability to swallow other Guiyi!

Facing the ghost-faced wreaths surrounding it from all sides, the Tanshi Gui instantly opened its black mouth, and its mouth full of sharp teeth and terrifying swallowing ability bit directly onto these ghost-faced wreaths.

Instantly, the wreaths that were bitten began to twist and scream like living creatures, but they were eaten by the Tanshi Gui after only a few bites.

Immediately after, the entire shop began to change crazily. Vague figures of corpses appeared faintly on the mud walls, and the old wooden boards even began to squirm.

Inside the shop, the Tanshi Gui grabbed whatever was around it and bit it. At this moment, it was even more ferocious than the Starving Ghost had been.

Outside the shop, Lin Feng, who had seen the strangeness of this shop clearly, also took action directly. The Tou Gui and the Puppet Ghost appeared one after another.

Then, they simultaneously erupted with ghostly power and launched an attack on this shop. Lin Feng himself turned into a three-headed, six-armed form and raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to smash fiercely at this shop.

"Bang! Crash~"

Being attacked from both inside and outside by Lin Feng like this, the entire wreath shop was overturned instantly, and the broken walls and tiles revealed a thick stench of corpses.

The original mud walls were actually built of corpses, and even the eaves and tiles were formed by the stacking of a large number of skulls. Heaven knows how many people's lives were sacrificed to make the large number of wreaths inside.

Just after Lin Feng overturned this shop, the originally dark and damp street disappeared instantly, replaced by a brightly lit street.

The surroundings were originally unusually lively, with people coming and going, various shops and doors wide open, and vendors hawking their wares.

It was just that after Lin Feng overturned that wreath shop, such a scene became unusually dead silent instantly.

The pedestrians on the street stopped their footsteps one after another, and one by one, they turned their heads stiffly to look at Lin Feng.

The vendors on the street pushed their carts and carried their poles, beginning to close in on Lin Feng.

Fierce ghosts began to walk out of the shops all around, and the entire street instantly changed from the original hustle and bustle to a gloomy Ghost Domain.

"An evil guest has arrived today!"

"Please, Ghost Gods, protect us!"

Suddenly, an old and hoarse shout came from the depths of the town, and then thick incense smoke drifted out from the depths of the town.

As this smoke rolled over, the street instantly became blurry, and then Lin Feng saw blurry figures closing in on him from all around.

Ghosts! They were all ghosts and ghost slaves being controlled!

No explanation was needed, no clarification was needed; the gloomy and bone-chilling aura unique to ghosts was enough to explain the true identity of these things on the street.

What kind of street was this? It was clearly a Ghost Street!

"Boom!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng directly erupted with his own power, and a large amount of ghost fire raged toward the surroundings with him as the center.

Weak ghosts were instantly drawn into the ghost fire and burned. It was a pity that the ghost fire did not have the ability to truly kill ghosts; it could only suppress weak ghosts.

Powerful ghosts didn't care about the ghost fire; their own ghostly power could suppress the burning of the ghost fire.

"Hmph, demons and monsters!"

At the same time, Lin Feng also took action. Beside him, the Tou Gui released a large number of blood-colored threads, trapping the weak ghosts first, while the Puppet Ghost blocked the sneak attacks of other ghosts from behind.

The Tanshi Gui was still crazily gnawing on the ghost-faced wreaths in the wreath shop; a large number of wreaths had already been gnawed away.

In the front, Lin Feng, in his three-headed, six-armed form, waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to smash the ghosts that dared to come forward, while on his back, hundreds of tattooed evil ghosts of various sizes jumped off his cloak to fight the enemy together!

If Lin Feng had encountered such a scene in the past, he would definitely have chosen to run away directly. But now, he really wanted to try what kind of ghosts he could deal with.

"Bang!"

Casually slapping a ghost away, at this moment, a ghost appeared in front of Lin Feng, with a fire basin in front of it, constantly burning paper money in the fire basin.

There was not a single ghost around this ghost, which was enough to show its uniqueness.

As Lin Feng approached, this ghost also slowly raised its head. He saw that the eye sockets of this ghost were completely empty, and faint scarlet blood was flowing from the eye sockets.

But the next moment, Lin Feng felt as if he had fallen into a hell of fire, with crimson flames all around him.

"Crackling!"

Corpse water immediately seeped out of Lin Feng's body to prevent this strange fire from burning his body.

At the same time, he also discovered where he was at this moment. The circular range of the flames and the huge yellow paper constantly falling from the sky all indicated that he was in that fire basin at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
