Chapter 219
In the new autumn of July, the moon comes out between the Big Dipper and Altair in the Milky Way. There is Zhongqi in heaven and earth. The first is Zhongyuan*.

For the Fengdu people, the Hungry Ghost Festival is as grand and solemn as the Chinese New Year.

On a piece of land and two dimensions, they live a harmonious life of coexistence between human and ghost for a long time. Under the control of the Underworld, ghosts do not disturb the lives of the living, and the living are in awe of their invisible "friendly neighbors". On this day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the earth is temporarily opened to ghosts so that the reincarnated can come back to visit those they miss. After the sun sets, every family will hang a lantern in front of their doors to guide their loved ones on the way home.

This is also the busiest and most stressful day in the Underworld. Although the Fengdu boundary will be opened with restrictions at this time to let those ghosts who have yet to reincarnate to go back and visit their loved ones, and the Fengdu boundary can only be exited and not entered at this time, and those who are allowed to be released back to earth are all the ghosts who have done no great evil in their lives, the Fengdu boundary is in a weaker state, and there are always fierce and resentful ghosts who try to be fishes in troubled water* and sneak into the earth. Millions of Yin servants will patrol around to prevent ghosts from doing evil. Of course, living beings should try their best to stay at home.

The reason why they are sure that the Supreme Demon and the Red Ghost King will rise in revolt during the Hungry Ghost Festival is precisely because this day is the best time of the year.

And the arrival of Li Bu Yu and Lan Chui Han made Fengdu City's dark currents surge. It is a sign of an upcoming mountain rain*. Even the common people felt an invisible sense of oppression. After all, the Hungry Ghost Festival is a ghost festival, why would the Immortal Alliance come to celebrate this kind of festival?

Since the battle of Chidi City three years ago, many rumors surrounding the resurrection of the Supreme Demon, the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, the red ghost king, and the immortal cultivation world have made all the people in Jiuzhou uneasy. The arrival of the Immortal Alliance at Fengdu during the Hungry Ghost Festival is clearly related to these disputes. In previous years, there were many bold people who even dared to go out after sunset just to see the legendary night walk of a hundred ghosts. This year it was still bright, yet every house was shut and there was no one on the street.

The City Lord of Fengdu City is a manager of Cui Jue in the human realm. His name is Xu Huan. He was born with Yin-Yang eyes* and can talk to ghosts. The Underworld should not interfere with earthly affairs. Zhong Kui was an alternative, but it does not mean that the Underworld knows nothing about the earth and does nothing. The City Gods of various places are used by the underworld to supervise the earth.

Xu Huan received Li Bu Yu and Lan Chui Han outside the city and settled them in the post house.

Lan Chui Han did not see Xie Bi An and was a bit surprised: "Where is Impermanence?"

"Oh, White Master will be here soon." Xu Huan said, "I will not disturb you all, I will leave first."

After Xu Huan left, Li Bu Yu sat steadily on the host's seat with his eyes closed and coughed a few times stuffily.

"Master ..."

Song Chun Gui was about to go forward and ask, when Li Zhi Qing had already bent down and asked respectfully, "Father, is your throat feeling uncomfortable again?"

Li Bu Yu did not open his eyes and said softly, "How many times have I told you?" His voice was not angry, but mighty.

"Mm, Master. I'll warm some pear soup for you."
