The blood wolf's eyes turned even redder after receiving Zhu Xinglong's order.
“Ouch!”
With a long howl, it rushed towards me with its sharp fangs bared.
The blood in its eyes became even more intense, as if blood was about to flow out of its eyes. The long hair on its body stood up as if it had been electrocuted.
Seeing how ferocious the blood wolf was, I quickly put the Golden Crow Flute to my mouth.
The Golden Crow Flute is a ghost instrument, and there is no need to blow it to produce any tune. As long as you blow a sound, the Golden Crow Flute will release the soul of the Golden Crow. Of course, the prerequisite is that the Qi of Yin De must be injected into the Golden Crow Flute.
As the Qi of Yin De continued to flow into the Golden Crow Flute from the corners of my mouth, I blew gently, and the Golden Crow Flute produced a melodious sound. My breath did not decrease, and the sound produced by the Golden Crow Flute actually became music in itself.
The music has some folk tunes in it, and it sounds very melodious with twists and turns.
“Mmmmm… Mmmmm…”
As the sound of the flute began, I discovered that there was actually golden light shining from the holes on the Golden Crow Flute. In an instant, golden light and shadows flew out from the twelve holes of the Golden Crow Flute.
Those light shadows looked very small, like a little sun, but they kept getting bigger when they flew into the air.
In the gradually growing golden light and shadow, I saw twelve golden crows shining with golden light.
Although they were only the souls of the Golden Crow, they seemed more vivid and solid. It seemed that after the Golden Crow Flute fell into the hands of Hei Wuchang, Hei Wuchang did not use it many times, otherwise the souls in the Golden Crow Flute might have been consumed by half.
The soul of the Golden Crow flapped its wings in the air, circling and dancing. Its golden feathers looked like gold, shining brightly and very eye-catching.
"Oh my God, what is that? Is it the Golden Crow? That guy... No, it's Young Master Yang. He actually got the soul of the Golden Crow. But I heard that the Golden Crow can only be found at the fifth station, Jinji Mountain, in our underworld!"
"Yes, that's right. That's the Golden Crow Bird. I've heard about this golden creature in the underworld before. This time, I finally saw a living one. I don't have any underworld tools that can be used for photography, otherwise I would have to take a picture of the Golden Crow Bird. It's so beautiful!"
"I don't know whether the blood wolf transformed by Brother Long is more powerful, or the soul of the golden crow bird released from Master Yang's flute is more powerful! I am really looking forward to it!"
A bunch of ghost officials were talking at once, saying all kinds of things.
When Zhu Xinglong saw that I released the soul of the Golden Crow Bird after blowing the flute, the expression on his face became solemn.
Only then did he understand why he had felt a burning breath just now. It turned out that the soul of the Golden Crow Bird was hidden in the flute.
Zhu Xinglong's eyes tightened, as if he had thought of something. He shouted loudly, "Blood Wolf, stop! Stop attacking!"
But it was too late, the blood wolf had already rushed to me.
I stared at the blood wolf coldly, and stepped back a few steps with the Seven Star Steps.
Then, I said to the twelve Golden Crow birds in the air, "Golden Crow birds, I am your master. Now, I order you to kill that blood wolf!"
“Ga ga ga…”
The twelve golden crows cried strangely when they heard my voice.
Led by a leader bird, the souls of the twelve golden crow birds rushed directly towards the blood wolf.
When the blood wolf saw me dodge, it was about to pounce again.
But unfortunately, the souls of the twelve golden crows had already attacked the blood wolf.
The Golden Crow bird's long claws grabbed the blood wolf's body.
The claws of an eagle are sharper than those of an eagle of prey.
Soon, amid the blood wolf's howling, its body was torn into pieces by the twelve golden crow birds, and the sky was filled with scarlet blood.
The blood wolf also tried to fight back, but it was no match for the twelve golden crow bird souls.
All the hair on the blood wolf's body was pecked off, and it looked like a dog with a bald tail.
Zhu Xinglong's eyes widened when he saw this, because the blood wolf that appeared was connected to him. So after the blood wolf was injured, Zhu Xinglong's body began to overdraw and he collapsed to the ground.
“Stop, stop… Young Master Yang, I admit defeat, I admit defeat! Please quickly put away your Golden Crow Bird soul! I admit defeat, is that not enough?”
Seeing Zhu Xinglong defeated, I snorted coldly, and then I raised my voice to the Golden Crow Bird and said, "Okay, all of you come back!"
The twelve Golden Crow birds were very obedient. Their illusory bodies slowly turned into golden spots of light and flew towards the Golden Crow flute in my hand.
But after a moment, the soul of the Golden Crow Bird once again merged into the Golden Crow Flute.
As for the blood wolf, after a miserable howl, its transformed body finally collapsed and turned into a blood mist. The blood mist rushed towards Zhu Xinglong and penetrated into his body through his mouth and nose.
Looking at Zhu Xinglong again, his face was pale and lifeless.
In the attic, Zhang Rong looked at me in surprise and muttered, "Good boy, you actually mastered an extraordinary underworld weapon. I was wondering why you were so arrogant, it turns out you have something to rely on. Tsk tsk, but that flute is really good, much better than the average high-level underworld weapon."
Zhang Rong's eyes revealed greed.
Seeing Zhu Xinglong's defeat, the ghost officials were so surprised that their mouths opened wide.
The thin ghost official hurried to Zhu Xinglong's side and helped Zhu Xinglong up from the ground.
"Brother Long, how are you?"
The thin ghost official asked with concern.
Zhu Xinglong sighed, his eyes dimmed, and he said to himself, "I didn't expect that my Blood Wolf Technique would be broken by Young Master Yang. It seems that I am indeed no match for him."
The skinny ghost official said shamelessly: "Brother Long, it's not your fault. It's just that the kid has that underworld weapon to rely on. If he didn't have that underworld weapon, he wouldn't be your opponent."
Having said this, the thin ghost official leaned over and whispered a few words in Zhu Xinglong's ear.
I stood in the distance, looking coldly at the group of ghost officials, as well as Zhu Xinglong and the thin ghost official.
What I didn’t expect was that after hearing the thin ghost official’s words, Zhu Xinglong pushed the thin ghost official away and slapped him hard.
"Asshole! You just gave me a bad idea and asked me to deal with Young Master Yang. Now you are trying to instigate me to snatch the infernal tool from Young Master Yang. I think you are tired of living! Don't you know that Young Master Yang is a guest of Magu?!"
After the thin ghost official was exposed by Zhu Xinglong, a cold look appeared in his eyes.
The ghost officials standing by were disgusted by the thin ghost official's behavior and began to reprimand him.
I thought to myself, although Zhu Xinglong is a bit reckless, his daring personality is good. We can make friends with him!
The thin ghost official looked at Zhu Xinglong, then looked at me, then he turned around and ran away.
After seeing the thin ghost official leave, Zhu Xinglong came to me with the help of other ghost officials.
Zhu Xinglong clasped his fists to me and said with shame: "Mr. Yang, I lost. I am sorry for what I did just now. I will fulfill my promise. I promise to complete the task with you... ... As for the others, I think they will not disobey your orders."
The other ghost officials were not as good as Zhu Xinglong, so they listened to Zhu Xinglong.
After hearing what I said, the other ghost officials surrendered to me one after another and expressed their willingness to follow me to complete this mission.
I put away my serious expression and said with a smile: "In that case, thank you all the ghost officials! But Brother Xinglong was injured just now, so let's wait for an hour. When he recovers a little, we will set out to complete the task.
The ghost officials had no objections and praised my decision highly.
As for winning people's hearts, I do know a little bit.
Here, let me explain one thing briefly, that is the existence of ghost officials. In fact, ghost officials are not ghosts, nor are they living people. They just accumulated a certain amount of good deeds during their lifetime, or had a chance, so that their souls after death can become ghost officials and reshape their "bodies".
Although the "body" here is similar to the physical body of people in the world of the living, it is not the physical body of people in the world of the living. It can be called the "ghost body" of the underworld.
This time, the task we received was to investigate the robbery of money and food sent from the "Provision Pavilion" to the "Ghost World Fort".
Needless to say, there is the Offering Pavilion.
Let’s talk about Ghost World Castle.
Guijiebao is the eleventh stop for ghosts to come to the underworld. It is connected to the land of Gongyang Pavilion and is a place for ghosts to answer questions and solve doubts. However, Guijiebao is very poor and needs financial support from the wealthy Gongyang Pavilion every year, and money and food are indispensable.
Money is for ghosts.
The food is used to supply the ghost officials in the ghost world fortress.
Every time the money and grain were escorted to the entrance of the Ghost Realm Fort, it was the ghost officials of the Gongyang Pavilion. But this time, when the money and grain were robbed, no ghost officials of the Gongyang Pavilion came back to inform.
This seems very abnormal.
These things were told to me by Zhu Xinglong.
I originally thought that this mission was just to gather information, but now it seems that it is quite difficult. I thought to myself, that guy Zuo Weiran might be plotting against me again.
I asked Zhu Xinglong, "Brother Xinglong, do you know where the money and grain were robbed?"
Zhu Xinglong shook his head and said, "I don't know! The money and grain were robbed a day ago, and Gongyang Pavilion just got the news. But where was the money and grain robbed? We don't know. You know, the territory of Gongyang Pavilion is really too big."
At this point, Zhu Xinglong thought for a moment and said, "But Mr. Yang, when the Gongyang Pavilion sends money and food to the Ghost Realm Fort every year, there is a specific route. I think if we follow the specific route, we may be able to find out something."
Zhu Xinglong and I thought the same thing.
It seems that Zhu Xinglong still has some brains.
"By the way, this is for you, Young Master Yang!"
Zhu Xinglong handed me a piece of rag.
I took it and looked at it. It was a topographic map. There were paths drawn on the map. Although it was not as detailed as the maps in the mortal world, I could still clearly distinguish the terrain and paths on it.
Zhu Xinglong explained: "Mr. Yang, this map is the map of our Gongyang Pavilion. It marks the route our ghost officials use to transport money and grain. We can search according to the route above."
I nodded and put the map into my cloth bag.
This picture is very important to us.
The one-hour break passed quickly. The skinny ghost official did not appear again, apparently because he was afraid that I would punish him.
The sky was still the same, gray, with no wind or rain.
I can guarantee that this place is definitely not as good as the world of the living, and not as colorful as the world of the living.
"Everyone, it's almost time for everyone to rest! Let's get going!"
I stood up and spoke to the twenty or so ghost officials.
The ghost officials all followed me obediently.
