The realm of ghosts and gods is the monk’s name for the mysterious and unreasonable area.
Such places are often accompanied by strange rules. For example, there is a place called Huixing Town outside the provincial capital of Xinxiang Province, which is a famous realm of ghosts and gods.
Those who enter Huixing Town will keep repeating what happened on the same day, reincarnating again and again, and will never be able to get out until they die.
There is also a realm of ghosts and gods in Nanmen County, which will turn people who enter it into paper figures, and even the most powerful supernatural powers will be completely useless.
However, these places have long been famous all over the world, and everyone knows that they are notoriously dangerous places.
Huangpo Village is just a village in Xinxiang County, Xinxiang Province. Why is such a dangerous place unknown to others?
"The big bad guy in Xinxiang, the shameless little guy!"
As soon as the woman in purple thought of this, the guards in golden clothes who followed her were in a panic. Some activated spells to try to restore their bodies, and some ran back, thinking that they would be able to return to their original state if they ran out of this realm of ghosts and gods. Some people panicked and fell to the ground while running, breaking themselves into pieces.
The woman in purple shouted: "Don't run around! Listen to my orders!"
Everyone gradually stabilized their emotions and gathered together again, with their eyes falling on her one after another.
The woman in purple calmed down and said: "Since there is a realm of ghosts and gods here, it means we have come to the right place. This is the rumored tomb of the true king..."
At this time, Chen Shi's voice came from the front: "Sister, why didn't you follow? The lair of those porcelain dolls is right here!"
The woman in purple's eyes were like lightning. She followed the sound and saw a small head poking out from behind a large slope. It was Chen Shi, with an innocent face and clear and stupid eyes. He was obviously not the treacherous person she imagined.
"He's just a child, I may have thought too much."
The woman in purple felt a little guilty. She actually imagined Chen Shi as a calculating person and forgot that he was still a teenager.
The woman in purple looked at Chen Shi, and her heart moved slightly. Chen Shi, like them, had also turned into a porcelain doll!
"This kid is obviously not here for the first time, so he must know how to transform from a porcelain doll into a human being!"
Her eyes lit up and she immediately gave the order: "Follow me and capture him while you have the chance!"
As everyone rushed forward, the forest in front gradually became sparse, and the trees were no longer dense. On the contrary, there were tall mounds of dirt.
The mound is hollow and has traces of burning, like a cave dwelling.
In addition, there are huge clay pots, some broken, some intact, four or five times taller than them, like inexplicable giants, very oppressive.
Everyone chased Chen Shi, shuttling between pottery pots and cave dwellings. The woman in purple walked at the end, looking around in surprise, and suddenly realized: "No, this is not the tomb of the real king! This is... a kiln for firing porcelain!"
Various thoughts came to her mind, how could a rural kiln become a realm of ghosts and gods?
Where does the porcelain in the kiln come from?
What did Chen Shi bring them to the kiln for?
She had just thought of this, when suddenly Fang He's voice came from the front: "I've lost track... there's someone there! It's those porcelain dolls!"
The woman in purple hurried forward, only to see the porcelain dolls who were playing by the stream just now, hiding in the shadows of a still broken cave dwelling, looking at them in horror.
One of the porcelain dolls waved to them repeatedly.
A guard in Jin Yi smiled and said: "These little things are afraid of us..."
The woman in purple woke up, her face suddenly changed, and she said quickly: "It's not us they are afraid of, but other things! Get back quickly -"
Suddenly, the earth rumbled and trembled, the sky and the earth suddenly became dark, and the wind was strong. Three giants in blue-grey clothes were seen walking towards this side.
Those giants were thin and tall, one or two feet tall. In addition, the woman in purple and others turned into porcelain dolls less than a foot tall, which made the giants even more tall.
The giant's hands and feet were slender, and his face was like a clay sculpture, without any expression, like a kiln worker making porcelain in a kiln. The movement and movement stirred up gusts of wind. When he saw them, he reached out to grab them.
Everyone ran away, and suddenly one of them was caught in the hand of one of the kiln workers, and his neck was broken with a click. The porcelain head was crushed into pieces, and turned into dregs and flowed from the giant's fingers.
Seeing this, other people ran faster. However, the kiln workers took dozens of steps to meet them. They easily caught up with another person and captured him in their hands.
The woman in purple was horrified. Although she was a monk and had already cultivated the divine fetus, she fell into the realm of ghosts and gods. The power of her Taoism was greatly damaged and she could not threaten these kiln workers!
The kiln worker could trample her to pieces with just one foot!
She ran as fast as she could, shuttling back and forth in the kiln factory to avoid the pursuit of the kiln workers. However, there were fewer and fewer people around her, and soon she was the only one left.
The others were all caught by the three kiln workers.
The woman in purple suddenly thought of the porcelain dolls hiding in the cave dwellings. She had an idea and hurriedly hid in a dilapidated cave dwelling.
There were actually a few porcelain dolls hiding in this cave. When they saw her hiding in, they all waved their hands to signal her to be silent.
Three kiln workers leaned down and looked around. One of the kiln workers put his head in, and his huge face blocked the entrance to the cave dwelling.
The woman in purple held her breath and concentrated, not daring to make any sound.
The kiln worker's behavior was stiff, his eyes were dull, and his eyes were like porcelain. They rustled when they turned. He glanced at the cave dwelling, then stood up and strode away.
Other kiln workers stopped searching.
After a while, the porcelain dolls sneakily poked their heads out, looked around, breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to her.
The woman in purple came forward, hunched over and followed the porcelain dolls quietly.
Not far away, a huge cave dwelling was blazing with blazing flames. The three kiln workers threw the porcelain dolls they had captured into the flames.
The porcelain doll struggled in the fire, screamed, and melted and deformed.
The woman in purple felt heartbroken. Those porcelain dolls were the royal guards of the Zhao family in Xinxiang, and now they died in such a shabby place in the countryside!
She followed a few porcelain dolls and quietly left the kiln.
"Girl, were you also tricked into coming here by the little beast in Huangpo Village?" one of the porcelain dolls asked.
The woman in purple said: "I can't understand you... Huh?"
She was surprised to find that after she turned into a porcelain doll, she was actually self-taught and could understand the bird-like language of these porcelain dolls!
The woman in purple did not hide anything, and told the whole story, saying: "He said he was honest, but he was filled with bad water! You..."
One of the porcelain dolls sighed and said, "We also came here to hunt for treasures, and we were deceived into this place by him, so we ended up like this."
"And us." Several more porcelain dolls came over.
"And us."
Outside the kiln, groups of porcelain dolls came over one after another, each with a gloomy look on their face.
"We heard that the true king's tomb was nearby, so we came to search for this big tomb, hoping to find some opportunities. Unexpectedly, people's hearts are not ancient, who would have thought that in the countryside with simple folk customs, there would be such little devils!"
An old-looking porcelain doll was filled with grief and anger. He paused the crutch in his hand and said angrily, "The little devil tricked us into coming here and turned us into porcelain! In the past two years, more and more people have been tricked, and they are all at his poisonous hands!"
Some people were filled with righteous indignation: "It's not a raft!"
Everyone agreed: "Yes! It's not a raft!"
The woman in purple also agreed, but she said in her heart: "These people are also here to look for the tomb of the true king. Obviously, like me, they are also motivated to kill people. Xiao Zheng was aware of his trick, so he deceived them here. This boy..."
She couldn't help but feel resentful when she thought of Chen Shi: "The brat is really only ten years old? And how did he turn from porcelain into a human body?"
"Girl, you are..."
A porcelain doll that looked like a middle-aged man stepped forward, looked at the woman in purple, and suddenly lost his voice, "Are you Miss Zhao, the second girl from the Zhao family in Xinxiang Province?" I am Quanzhou Li Xian, Miss Zhao Er, we met one time years ago! "
The woman in purple was shocked. Quanzhou Li Xian was from a famous family and had a long-standing reputation. She heard that there were fierce bandits entrenched in Longyuan, and no one could defeat it. Quanzhou Li Xian actually broke into Longyuan alone, entering and leaving seven times, and no one could stop him!
When he came to Xinxiang Province, his father asked her to come forward to meet Uncle Li, but she didn't expect that she would end up in this poor and remote place!
"I met Miss Zhao Er when I was in Heqinghe, Xiadanjiang."
The woman in purple was shocked again. This Danjiang He Qinghe is also a famous figure. He has cultivated the golden elixir and is a master among the younger generation!
He actually fell here too!
一个女子模样的瓷娃娃道：「小女子林飞霜，见过赵二姑娘，见过诸位。」
「在下新乡龙钢，见过赵二姑娘，见过诸位！」
"I bathed in Huaqing Pool in the capital, and I met Miss Zhao Er."
……...
These porcelain dolls gave their names one by one, and they turned out to be respectable people. Among them, there was an old senior who had become Yuanying!
The woman in purple was both surprised and horrified. Some of these strong men were even treated politely by the Xinxiang Zhao family. Unexpectedly, they all fell into that little guy's trap and turned into porcelain dolls, ready to be slaughtered!
"However, my status in the Zhao family is not low. I haven't been home for a few days. My father will definitely send someone to search for me. As long as they find Huangpo Village, they can find our traces and rescue me!" She thought to herself.
In the kiln factory, the fire was blazing into the sky.
Chen Shi quietly retreated to the darkness of the corner, avoiding the three kiln workers who looked like wood carvings and clay sculptures.
In the corner were several large urn-shaped jars. Seeing him squeezing this way, he quickly shrank his hands and feet and squeezed them tighter so that the porcelain doll could not squeeze in.
However, the gap between them was quite large, and Chen Shi squeezed it in.
Three kiln workers with long arms and legs walked by. One of the kiln workers glanced at the jars in the corner. One of the jars was frightened and grew a leg with a pop.
The other two kiln workers immediately turned their heads to look at the jar. Seeing that something was not going well, they immediately grew two arms and another leg, and ran away, making the lid of the jar clank.
The three kiln workers immediately caught up with them. After a while, the two kiln workers turned back and leaned down. Their expressionless faces were in front of the jars in the corner, as if they were checking which jars were still alive.
Chen Shi, who was hiding in the corner of the jar, peeked and saw that the kiln worker's eyes were gray and white, like porcelain that had failed to be fired.
The two kiln workers took a closer look and found that the jar was not causing any trouble, so they left.
After a while, another kiln worker returned dragging the escaped pot and threw the pot into the cave for smelting.
In the shadow of the corner, Chen Shi and the few surviving jars crept away quietly.
The few surviving jars seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Shi. Once they were out of sight of the three kiln workers, they turned around to look for Chen Shi to settle accounts. However, there was nothing behind them, and Chen Shi had already taken the opportunity to slip away without a trace.
