On the way, I put the evil spirit Xiao Hei into the soul-collecting bucket, and asked the female ghost Huang Yueying to lead the way for me and Uncle Sun.
We rushed to the direction of Wangui Mountain. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we bypassed various ghost villages and walked along the remote paths.
Finally, after eight hours, we arrived outside Wangui Mountain.
What I didn’t know was that several hours ago, notices for our arrest had been posted in various ghost villages and on some hilltops of Wangui Mountain.
Even many ghosts in the ghost village have begun searching around the ghost village.
It’s just that most of the ghosts don’t think that we will come to Wangui Mountain.
You should know that there are not only powerful ghost fairies here, but also very ferocious ghost kings, evil ghosts, and fierce ghosts.
This actually proves the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
We happened to avoid the searches of many ghosts.
Wangui Mountain is a large mountain range, with lush forests rolling down its east and west sides. The trees are the same as those I saw on the road and on Laoya Mountain, all lifeless and gray.
There are dark palaces surrounded by black mist on the mountain, one after another, guarding the palace in the middle together.
Most of the Yin Palace is the residence of the Ghost King and more powerful evil ghosts. The palace in the middle is the place where the ghost immortals live, and ordinary ghosts cannot enter.
At the foot of Wangui Mountain, there is a large village called Xifeng Village.
Xifeng Village is several times larger than ordinary ghost villages. The ghosts living in it are all very powerful ghosts or evil spirits in the territory of the City of the Dead.
At this moment, Uncle Sun and I were hiding in a forest outside the village.
Because we had been on the road for a long time, Uncle Sun and I were very tired and needed to rest.
I sat cross-legged on the ground, under a tree, practicing the "Spirit Absorption Chapter" to absorb the "spirits" in the air.
Uncle Sun ate something. The ghost girl Huang Yueying went to Xifeng Village to check the situation.
After regulating my breathing for a while, I slowly opened my eyes.
Seeing me open my eyes, Uncle Sun came over and asked me, "Tianyi, when are we going to enter the West Wind Village ahead?"
I thought about it and said, "Don't worry, wait until Huang Yueying's ghost comes back, then we can set off."
Uncle Sun was a little anxious and said, "This Wrongful Death City is not a place for people to stay. We'd better return to the world of the living as soon as possible. Tianyi, the evil ghost you met before was very powerful. I'm afraid that if we stay here for too long, something bad will happen again."
I felt a little unhappy when I heard what Uncle Sun said.
I glanced at him sideways and said unhappily, "Uncle Sun, what do you mean by that? Could it be that we won't save your father Jiang Jiuzhen?"
After hearing what I said, Uncle Sun hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Tianyi, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that this Wrongful Death City is full of ghosts. If we stay here for too long, we will be easily exposed and put in danger."
"People still need to be saved, but I think it's best for us not to go directly into those ghost villages to avoid any accidents."
I understood what Sun Yaowen was thinking. He had just witnessed me being bewitched by the evil ghost Ma Sanpo with a three-colored bell and almost losing my life, so he was a little worried about my own comfort.
I glared and said angrily, "Go ahead if you want to go back. I still need to find my master Jiang Jiuzhen."
Sun Yaowen's face was like an eggplant hit by frost, turning purple from holding back anger.
Finally, he stood aside in a huff, went to smoke, and didn't talk to me anymore.
As soon as I stood up, the female ghost Huang Yueying came back in a panic.
She shouted, "Oh no, oh no, Taoist Priest Yang, something happened! Something happened..."
My feet
He stepped on the Seven Stars Step and came to the ghost girl Huang Yueying, frowned and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
The ghost Huang Yueying stabilized her soul and said, "Master Yang, this is a big trouble. You and Uncle Sun are wanted by the Wrongful Death City. The notice has been posted. Now the ghosts in various ghost villages are looking for you, hoping to exchange you for rewards."
"What, this actually happened?"
When Uncle Sun heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his face looked ugly.
He put out his cigarette and came up to me.
I also looked at the female ghost and asked hurriedly: "What is going on?"
The ghost Huang Yueying explained, "I just entered Xifeng Village and met a few ghosts. They were discussing how to capture you, Taoist Yang. I listened closely and found out that not long after we left Laoya Mountain, a ghost king and his ghost guards arrived there."
"That ghost king discovered the paper sedan chair that Ma Sanpo was riding in, and performed a ghost magic nearby. That ghost magic is said to be extremely powerful, and it can even restore a scene from not long ago. So, Taoist Yang, you and Uncle Sun were conjured up."
"Later, the ghost king returned to Wangui Mountain and told the ghost fairy what happened. Then the ghost fairy issued an imperial decree, asking the ghost kings everywhere to capture you two, and also posted a notice to let those ghosts search for you as well."
After hearing what the female ghost Huang Yueying said, my face fell.
In this case, our identities have been exposed now, and that ghost fairy already knows that Uncle Sun and I are from the mortal world.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, that ghost immortal will definitely not let us go.
Damn, this is really a big trouble.
Uncle Sun looked anxious and asked uneasily, "Tianyi, this is terrible, what should we do?"
I felt a little unhappy, but since things have developed to this point, there is no need for us to go to Wangui Mountain. Even if we want to enter Xifeng Village under Wangui Mountain now, we can't get in.
I thought about it seriously for a while, then turned my head and said to Uncle Sun, "Uncle Sun, you are right. It is too dangerous here now. We may be captured by those ghosts before we find my master Jiang Jiuzhen."
"In that case, let's go back to Canghe Village first. If there is really no other way, I will have to leave the City of the Dead."
Uncle Sun had been worried all the way, but after hearing what I said, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's do it. Tianyi, it's not that I don't worry about my dad, it's just the situation. Besides, Huang Yueying also said that my dad was rescued by a mysterious being. This means that he is fine for the time being."
I didn't argue with Sun Yaowen about this matter and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's go to Canghe Village now. When the time comes, we can take the opportunity to return to the attic and leave here first."
Afterwards, without wasting any time, we walked out of the bushes, found a path, and headed towards Canghe Village.
But the road is still very long. After all, it took us nearly eight hours to get here. Now, even if we speed up, it will take a long time to go back.
But just after we left the woods and came to a narrow road nearby, I suddenly felt a vague sense of uneasiness in my heart.
I felt like something was following the three of us.
When this thought came to my mind, I led Uncle Sun and the female ghost Huang Yueying forward while keeping an eye on what was behind me.
Sure enough, half an hour later, when we entered a small valley, I found that there were several ghosts following us stealthily.
But I couldn't see clearly what kind of ghost it was because the distance was too far and there was obstruction in front of their souls.
"Okay, don't leave yet, take a rest first!" I said with a serious face.
Uncle Sun was a little surprised by what I said, and muttered: "Why did you stop to rest after walking for such a long distance? I'm not tired yet, but you, a young man, are tired..."
I ignored what Sun Yaowen said.
Seeing my gloomy expression, the ghost Huang Yueying asked carefully: "Master Yang, what's wrong with you?"
I looked at Huang Yueying, slowly narrowed my eyes, lowered my voice and asked her coldly: "Huang Yueying, have you done anything wrong?"
Huang Yueying didn't understand what I meant, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
"Master Yang, what do you mean by this?" she asked me anxiously.
I didn't shy away from the question. With a cold expression on my face, I said in a deep voice, "What I mean is, you evil ghost, are you deliberately plotting against us?"
Huang Yueying was puzzled when she heard this: "Master Yang, what do you mean by this? Why are your words so strange? I have always been with you, and I have not harmed you. Besides, you have placed that evil-suppressing talisman in my soul, and I am afraid it is too late."
Listening to Huang Yueying's words and seeing the expression on her face, I could tell that she was not lying.
I saw Uncle Sun and Huang Yueying were looking at me, so I said to them in a very low voice, "I just found a few ghosts behind us. If I'm not mistaken, the three of us have been targeted."
After hearing what I said, Uncle Sun's face immediately changed color. He began to look around and became extremely uneasy.
I quickly shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Sun, don't look around. You all listen to me. Wait, we will set off after a short rest. Then, you go ahead and I will go behind those ghosts and kill them. Otherwise, we will be followed by these ghosts and sooner or later we will attract a large number of ghosts to chase us."
"Perhaps, those ghosts will go to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ghosts to notify those powerful ghost kings to come. If only one ghost king comes, maybe I can resist him, but if several ghost kings come, then we will definitely not be able to escape."
Uncle Sun suppressed his fear, and said with trembling lips, "Okay, Tianyi, I'll follow your arrangements."
The female ghost Huang Yueying had no objection either.
After that, we rested for a few minutes and then got back on the road.
When I was about to walk out of the small valley, I moved my feet, stepped on the Flowing Cloud Body Movement, flashed behind a tree, and hid in the grass under the tree.
Uncle Sun and the female ghost Huang Yueying pretended they knew nothing and continued walking forward.
The man and the ghost gradually went away, and I hid quietly under the tree.
There was wind in the woods, but because the City of the Dead was in the ghost space, even the wind was a cold wind, which was uncomfortable when blowing on the body and made people feel chilled to the bone.
After a short while, maybe five or six minutes, I noticed that four ghost shadows appeared behind Uncle Sun and the female ghost.
Among the four ghost shadows, there are two evil ghosts and two little ghosts.
I won’t talk about the little ghost, let’s talk about those two evil ghosts.
A fierce ghost, his face had been rotted beyond recognition, his eyes were lifeless, his teeth were sticking out, tightly clenched together, he looked very ferocious and vicious.
What made me sick was that he had a huge tumor on his back. The tumor bent his body and made it as big as a pot lid.
This is a flesh bag ghost.
The other evil ghost was a woman in a long white dress. The woman's soul looked like a normal person, except that her face was as pale as paper.
Her lips were bright red, as if she had just licked blood. And the weird thing was that she would often stretch out her tongue as long as a belt to lick her hair.
I remember this kind of ghost was recorded in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, and it was called the Long-Tongue Ghost.
