Wu Rong couldn’t move at all.
The bell sounded like a reminder. It came from under his bed like a poisonous snake crawling over his back. It was cold, sticky and creepy. With a blindfold, other senses became more sensitive in the dark. Wu Rong felt like a heavy ice lump was pressing on him, blowing cold air.
‘King, I’m here, I’m here, I’ve kept you waiting.’
The child’s voice was clear, sometimes far and sometimes near, and there was no noise of current anymore, which directly rang in Wu Rong’s mind.
‘It’s not easy to wash away the ghost qi, but who let you have such a disgusting seal character. I hate it!!’
No wonder the seal script didn’t work!
The temperature dropped even lower, and the ghost boy was as moody as a child. The people in the same compartment were already cold and shivering, but Wu Rong just felt a little cold.
This coolness was very comfortable, just like walking into an air-conditioned room in the hot sun, which makes people feel comfortable. He secretly saved strength to break away from the bondage and said nothing. Soon, after losing his temper, the voice of the ghost boy softened, as if he was used to Wu Rong’s silence, and dragged his voice like a spoiled brat:
‘King, I was the first to find you. You must compensate me.’
‘Let me eat one of your feet.’
The ghost boy greedily sucked his saliva. He said such a bloody and horrible thing innocently and childish. He also discussed with Wu Rong: ‘I will only eat one leg. It doesn’t hurt. Anyway, soon you will be able to recover with the help of the remnant soul of the White Bone King. Let me have some. I was the first to find you.’
‘Why do you keep calling me King?’
Wu Rong’s eyebrows were locked when he heard that, at the same time, he felt that the shackles on his body were somewhat loose after absorbing those cool smells. He tried to ask in his mind. First, he was confused about the chasing child ghost, and second, he tried to delay as much as possible.
‘The King is the King.’
Sure enough, the ghost boy was not happy when he heard what he said: ‘I am the foot, King, have you forgotten me? I remember how you tore me up and swallowed me, leaving me only with one foot. I think it was just six months later, I can’t remember.’
Wu Rong could understand every word, but he doesn’t understand the words combined. What was half a year later, eating it and tearing it up, leaving only one foot? This kid either has special ability to see the future, or——
Suddenly, an unimaginable idea emerged in Wu Rong’s mind.
This kid can’t be reborn too, right?
‘By the way, I didn’t expect it!’
Wu Rong felt cold on his face, and then pulled off the blindfold. Wu Rong opened his eyes and was facing a small blue gray face. There were no pupils, only white eyes. The ghost child and Wu Rong were close to each other’s faces, and a sharp shark-like tooth was shining black. One person and one ghost were very close. Normal people would be scared out of their wits when they saw this, but Wu Rong—

There’s something wrong with myself.
Wu Rong knew later, but at this time, the little devil was picking his left eyelid and blowing a cool wind into it.
‘I didn’t expect you to be so weak now!’
The ghost boy was very excited and could almost jump out of his small gray face. He opened his mouth with a ferocious expression: ‘I changed my mind. Why don’t I eat you and become King myself?’
“The founder of Sanqing is on the top, and Sanmao returns to the world. The rune orders you. Changchuan listens to the order. If there is a violation, the thunder axe will not be allowed. It is as urgent as the law!” [1]
Boom!
A thunderstrike sounded in the carriage, and all the people’s ears were buzzing, with stars in their eyes, but the black fog disappeared in an instant. The ghost boy screamed in surprise and anger. Then Wu Rong saw the elder celestial master standing at the door with his head full of sweat, with his sword in one hand and his hand raised, the glutinous rice splashed down like a fairy. The ghost boy screamed and retreated to the window!
“You, go!”
Zhou Xun then rushed in, his fingers were full of yin, Wu Rong and Auntie’s restraints were relieved at the sound: “Let’s deal with this!”
Bang!
With a loud noise, the Heavenly Master was wiped to Zhou Xun’s side and flew out, slamming into the wall. He was covered in blood, and the rune paper was broken into ashes. He was convulsing in pain, obviously defeated. Zhou Xun uttered a rude remark. He didn’t want to rush to the ghost boy, so he tore off his mask. Then he opened his mouth to the ghost boy. The stench in the black hole throat was filled with pale ghost sores. Zhou Xun’s mouth grew wider and wider, and he could even fill two basketballs. It was totally out of this world. He swallowed the ghost boy at one gulp when his mouth became big!
“Gulu… come on… go…”
Zhou Xun’s cheek was swollen and tensed up with blue veins, painful and convulsive, and his words were difficult and vague. He threw the auntie and uncle out of the door and pulled Wu Rong, who was farthest from the door. But at that moment, his eyes turned white, and he suddenly began to vomit violently. The stinky thick yellow and white paste fell on the ground like pus after the scar was crushed, and a section of a pale child’s finger bone fell in the paste.
The black ghost spirit gathered, and the ghost boy reappeared from his finger bone. The black gray matter was full of ghost sores. He looked painful. The two ghost forces were fighting against each other, but the ghost boy did not hesitate to pounce on Wu Rong, who was about to reach the door during the chaos.
The wind was blowing, and the ghost aura was strong. Wu Rong responded quickly and rolled away from the ghost boy, but he was farther away from the door. He was very calm under extreme danger. When the ghost boy came again, he directly turned under the bed and grabbed the bamboo basket with his long arm and threw it at the ghost boy!
“WA, WA, WA!”
The torn bamboo basket finally broke, and the red feather rooster flew out. The ghost boy showed a painful expression at the high pitched and sharp cry, and made a pause. The next moment, the bloody peach wood sword cut across the pale finger bone! The blood-stained Taoist stood up again, bit the tip of his tongue heavily and spurted a mouthful of blood to stop the ghost boy. Then Zhou Xun pushed Wu Rong outside.
“Go!”
In the corridor, the child’s screams of fear and the conductor’s loud command were mixed together, making a lot of noise. All the cabin attendants, including the conductor, were directing passengers to evacuate. With their efforts, people were still in good order despite their fear. They lined up to evacuate. Wu Rong quickly caught up with the team and saw the danger through the window.
He saw the train off the mountain road, half hanging outside the cliff, and looking down from the window, it was a bottomless abyss!
“Don’t crowd, everyone. If we have time, we still have time!”
The conductor screamed at the top of his voice, and his not strong body was squeezed to keep order. At this moment, there was a commotion among the people in front. When everyone ran away in panic, someone ran against the current. He was wearing a Taoist robe and bumped past the crowd. The conductor was horrified when he saw him: “Taoist Priest Yun, aren’t you at the front? Why –”
“There is no danger outside. I have to stay and fight.”
The young Taoist priest’s face was still childish, but he was in high school. His face was still scared, but his eyes were firm. Someone couldn’t bear to see it and whispered, “Baby, you are still a child, let’s go together…”
“I’m not a child. I’m a Heavenly Master.”
The young Taoist bit his teeth and his voice trembled, but he was very decisive: “This is my duty.”
Without hesitation, he squeezed through the crowd and rushed directly to the carriage where the sound of fierce fighting came from. A few chokes came from the crowd, but more people were silent, speeding up the pace of evacuation, and not wasting the time that the fighters fought for. The world was very dangerous, and ghosts were rampant. However, those rare qualities in danger were even more brilliant and could unite the will of all people like a flame.
Amid the crying of children and the hoarse command of the attendants, the crowd quickly withdrew, and in a blink of an eye, most of the passengers had safely retreated to the mountain road. At the same time, the fighting sound from the back of the train became more and more fierce, and the train was shaking. The shrill cry and howling sound made people feel numb. Finally, the train was empty, and Wu Rong was left with only a mother holding a child in front of him.
The child cried all the way, and his voice was hoarse. The mother was anxious and coaxed to get out of the car carefully.
Boom!
The deafening loud noise came suddenly, and the whole train shook violently. The roof cracked, and a bloody figure was blown out of the air and hit the cliff wall heavily, unconscious. It was Zhou Xun, who had a broken left arm. A bloody hole was torn in his throat, without breathing, when two more figures flew out.
The old Taoist priest spit blood, holding the young Taoist priest of unknown life and death in one hand, and the broken conductor in the other hand, flying and stumbled down the mountain road, looking dejected and panicked.
“Let’s go. The four-way compass can’t control it for too long. Its power is getting stronger!”
“The car is slipping down. Time is running out. There are battlefield ruins below. Even if the ghost goes down, it will be swallowed up!”
Suddenly, the child burst into tears from the train. The Taoist’s expression suddenly changed: “No, there are still people in the train!”
The train that was completely out of balance leaned like a seesaw and would soon fall into the abyss. The exit was near, but Wu Rong was blocked. The shock was so sudden just now that the mother left herself in the ladder and broke her bone with a click. The child who was not held firmly fell to the ground and rolled inside along the inclined carriage for several meters, hitting the corner badly and cried loudly.
“Child, my child!!”
The other’s face was full of cold sweat, and she was anxious to cry. Wu Rong took a few steps back and picked up the crying child.
“Thank you, thank you.”
The mother’s black hair was messy. She looked at the child greedily and tried her best to avoid looking like in pain: “Please take him quickly and walk on me. My foot is broken and I can’t move.”
“The car is about to fall off the cliff. It’s too late. Go, take him with you!”
The inclination angle of the train was getting bigger, and the speed of the train sliding down was getting faster and faster. The sharp earth and stone cut the young mother’s hands in blood and flesh. She endured the pain as far as possible, with her thin and undulating shoulders shining in front of Wu Rong. This was a road leading to the gate of life.
The car is about to fall off the cliff, and if you step on it, you can escape to live.
Wu Rong did not speak. His eyes sank, and he looked even more cold. He caught a glimpse of the Taoist priest rushing to the front, and shook the child in his hand. He did not hesitate to throw it out. It was right on the Taoist’s hand, which he hurriedly stretched out to receive.
The seriously injured Taoist turned upside down, and Wu Rong had already turned around. He tried his best to put his foot heavily on the junction of the train and the stairs.
Bang!
The folding ladder that was put out in a hurry was unstable. Wu Rong had great strength, so he kicked it loose. At this time, the train tilted more than 45 degrees, and it was difficult for people to stand on it. Grasping the handrail, Wu Rong kicked the last leg, and the ladder finally fell down. The mother who had stuck her foot fell down and was caught by the attendant who came at the same time.
“Jump off quickly, young man! The car is about to fall off the cliff!”
The train commander shouted at the bottom, Wu Rong’s body shook. Now the train was like the Titanic that hit an iceberg and sank. It was extremely difficult to maintain balance. Aiming at the landing point, he released the handrail and jumped. The howling wind swept by. At this moment, Wu Rong suddenly felt cold behind him. He saw the conductor’s stiff face and heard everyone exclaim.
“Watch your back!”
The Taoist who fell to the ground used his last strength to throw the peach wood sword. His strength was weak, and the peach wood sword passed by Wu Rong’s side and fell into the abyss.
The deep cold froze Wu Rong’s body, and the wind and the ghost boy’s lingering sneer were in his ears.
“King, I’ve got you.”
The next second, Wu Rong was caught by the ghost boy and fell off the cliff with the train.
The author has something to say: [1] Thunder charm, from Baidu
Come, come, the main character of the standard point family falling from the cliff =w=, the next chapter, beats the ghost boy violently, and the golden finger falling from the cliff!
TL note: It’s so epic I had goosebumps, I love these type of novels hfdhfdd
The mother looking at his son for the last time before her ultimate demise…
The young Taoist that didn’t hesitate to go to the frontline to save the weak and harmless…
It makes you have a little of hope for humanity in its darkest situations, doesn’t it?
Next Chapter spoiler~
…I don’t have a fear of heights, but that jumper or whatever caused me to develop a fear of the feeling of falling. You know, amusement parks just play with the feeling of near death to make you feel that adrenaline rush… It’s really not good.
Also, I hope Wu Rong squishes that ghost boy out of existence! Senselessly overpowered protagonist? So what! …But… uhm, how’s he gonna get that cliff back up?
Thank you for the chapter!
yeah I put that in the spoiler because it’s such a beautiful phrase. I like the cadence of each word :>
It is very well written, also well chosen. Just makes me wonder if he’s mildly afraid of elevators (like me)
the playlist went amazingly well with the chapter!! ❤️❤️❤️
aw thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
It’s really fun. I’m so excited. I’m pretty sure Wu Rong will eat the ghost, or maybe he was too disgusted and just killed it hahaha but how to escape the accident, aaah can’t wait to read the next chapter.
I really like this story, and thanks for translating it, but it should be hurt not hurtted and spit not spitted.
Sometimes you look back and there’s only cringe 😞
Thanks!
lmao MXTX PTSD be like-…
I mean, it seems like all is saved at the end tho? The mother was caught by the train attendant at the end.
