"!!!" Chu Danfeng, "What kind of deer is Ye?"
Qing Feng: "I can't remember clearly, maybe it was Ye Honglu, maybe Ye Qinglu, maybe Ye Bailu... Anyway, it was a deer of some color. Oh, by the way, it seems to be a female cultivator from Shuangji Sect."
Huang Changtian swallowed his saliva and said, "It can't be such a coincidence. It's definitely not a good thing to be visited by a ghost cultivator. I hope Senior Sister is not in danger."
Chu Danfeng grabbed Qing Feng by the collar and asked, "When did the ghost cultivator come? When did you plan to go find her? Do you know where the ghost cultivator is now?"
This Mr. Chu was just a gentle and suave gentleman, wearing a folding fan, a long gown, and all the rough work of threatening people with a sword was left to Hua Tingxuan beside him. But now, he suddenly became harsh and spoke in a harsh tone, and the pressure of a Jindan stage cultivator was overwhelming.
Qing Feng was just a little demon with little Taoism skills who relied on absorbing people's Yang energy to maintain his cultivation. How could he withstand such pressure? He was frightened to the point of losing his tongue: "My Lord, please stop being angry! I'll tell you everything! I know where he is staying. It should only take a day or two to find him. My Lord, don't worry. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like he's looking for trouble. I even saw him writing a visiting card!"
Chu Danfeng asked in detail about the whereabouts of the ghost cultivator, and did not forget to cast a silencing spell on Qingfeng, making him unable to speak for a day, in order to prevent the male brothel owner from revealing their whereabouts. This kind of person would confess everything if asked, and who knows if he would tip off the ghost cultivator.
Chu Danfeng immediately sent a sound transmission jade disc to Ye Bailu, but there was no response until the group left Jinxiu Tower.
Chu Danfeng became more and more worried and said, "Third Senior Brother, take Xuan'er back to Lixu Peak to report the news. I will go find that ghost cultivator."
Hua Tingxuan immediately said: "I'll go with Junior Brother!"
Huang Changtian: "No, no, no, let's go back together. I know you have a high level of cultivation, but the other party is a ghost cultivator. They are vicious and will kill people without blinking an eye."
Chu Danfeng: "I know they are vicious, so I have to go there quickly. What if my sister falls into their hands..."
Huang Changtian still advised: "Hey, don't think so badly, isn't Senior Sister staying at Lixu Peak just fine? This morning she was so aggressive that she wanted to pick up a sword and chop people—"
His words came to an abrupt end, and several people fell into a brief silence. After a moment, Huang Changtian took the lead in completing his guess: "Could it be that the person that Senior Sister wants to kill is that ghost cultivator? Could they be enemies? Senior Sister often travels outside, sometimes for a few months, sometimes for a year or two. It's not surprising that she has made one or two enemies..."
"Xuan'er, be obedient and go back with your third senior brother to report the news to Master and the eldest senior brother." Chu Danfeng walked away without waiting for him to finish.
But Hua Tingxuan didn't listen and followed with sword in hand. Chu Danfeng felt a little confused. In his previous life, at least before his "death", Ye Bailu was fine. But too many things have changed in this life. For example, he went to the Monster Market, which he had never been to in his previous life, which allowed Hua Tingxuan and Butterfly King Zhiqiong to meet earlier. For example, in his previous life, before Hua Tingxuan went to Wanjianfeng to draw his sword, the most sought-after disciple of Shuangji Sect should have been Liu Yanbai, but now he has become it.
…The butterfly effect is so powerful that it might have also changed the trajectory of my senior sister’s life.
Chu Danfeng was anxious. He walked several feet away before he realized that his junior fellow apprentice had followed him.
"Hua Tingxuan, now is not the time to lose your temper, go back quickly!" Chu Danfeng didn't have the patience to reason with the child and even called out his full name.
But Hua Tingxuan was even more straightforward than him: "Little Senior Brother, there is no time to lose, let's go quickly. Oh, and there is also the Bifang bird. It should be waiting outside the memorial archway of Fanyang Town. It will be faster for us to ride the bird."
Chu Danfeng: “…” The arrangement was so clear that I didn’t know how to refuse for a moment.
Not only Hua Tingxuan, Huang Changtian also rushed over breathlessly. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "You two are walking too fast. Xiaowu, come on! I'm going to try out your divine bird mount today. As for reporting the news, I've already sent a message to Senior Brother. Let's go ahead and test the situation. If it's a false report, I'm afraid Master will peel my skin off."
"..." Chu Danfeng, "Third Senior Brother, Xiaoliu, that ghost cultivator is also very ignorant, you don't have to do it for me..."
"Who said I did it for you?" Huang Changtian's round belly bulged, "Isn't Ye Bailu my senior sister? Don't think that just because she raised you, she is your senior sister!"
Hua Tingxuan rarely shares the same camp with Huang Changtian, so he nodded and agreed: "That's right, little brother, we share the same difficulties."
"..." It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. Chu Danfeng also felt a surge of pride in his heart. "Forget it, let's go!"
Whether it was for his sister or for himself, this was probably the friendship between fellow disciples. Huang Changtian was the least capable disciple in the sect, with the lowest cultivation and the smallest courage, but he was actually the most loyal, and it was the same when he was at Wanjian Peak, and it is still the same now.
Not to mention Hua Tingxuan, Chu Danfeng always felt that - at least this child in this life - even if he went through hardships, he would not frown and would always stay with him.
Tsk, what a filial child.
Without the constraints of the system, I will never steal his woman in this life. In this way, the relationship between brother (father), friendship (kindness), and disciple (filial piety) can be maintained forever. It’s great.
Hua Tingxuan was naturally worried about Chu Danfeng and would never let him take risks alone. Besides, he also suspected that the ghost cultivator might be another "reborn person"
Carrying a flying smoke bottle with them was a common habit among ghost cultivators in the previous life.
If he was really a reborn person, would he know of his existence? I don't know if he was an enemy or a friend, or if he just wanted to stay out of their way
No matter what, that ghost cultivator is most likely a dangerous person, and we must not let our junior brother face him alone.
The Bifang bird spread its huge wings and arrived in a flash even though it was a thousand miles away. It soon saw an abandoned house, which was exactly the same as Qingfeng had described.
From a distance, you can see several ancient trees towering into the sky. Among the branches and leaves, you can see an old house with dilapidated window frames, but they are tied with white silk ribbons. In the wild grass, it looks even more gloomy. If you close your eyes and release your spiritual sense to investigate, you can see ghosts, patrolling around the old house like sentinels.
When the Bifang bird landed on the ground, several people gathered their consciousness and walked along the blue brick corridor, holding their breath among the weeds. When they got closer, they realized that the white silk ribbons were not used to scare people, but for decoration.
Because occasionally when a cold wind blows, if you lift the ribbon, you can see the wall covered with mottled rain marks or cracks.
"Since he thinks this place is ugly, why doesn't he just find a place with better conditions to stay?" Huang Changtian whispered, "Wouldn't it be more expensive to use so much fine white silk?"
Chu Danfeng: "It should be the characteristics of ghost cultivators. They abandon their flesh bodies and cultivate with their soul bodies. In order to improve their cultivation, they also need to absorb the essence of the spirit body. They always have to raise some little ghosts around them to send them to work... The little ghosts can't move around in places with too much yang energy, so they chose this place."
"Yes, this is a famous haunted house in the suburbs, and it has been abandoned for a long time." Huang Changtian gave a thumbs up, "Xiaowu, you are just like me, and you don't want to make progress all day long. I didn't expect you to know everything!"
Chu Danfeng thought: Although I have been living a life of idleness and waiting for death, and am a worthless person, in my previous life I was a genuine 'hard-working person'. I was forced by the system to read books and practice martial arts all day long, so it is hard not to be knowledgeable.
But he pretended to be profound and said, "I read some miscellaneous books occasionally, so I know a little bit. There are little ghosts guarding everywhere here, so it may not be easy to get in."
But the more Chu Danfeng was modest, the more Huang Changtian felt that he was a genius with a photographic memory, and the more he wanted to follow his lead, and took the initiative to offer advice: "I brought some ghost-exorcising talismans in my mustard bag."
Chu Danfeng originally wanted to pick up his weapon and attack directly, but he didn't expect Huang Changtian to have prepared a talisman, so he said, "That would be the best." What if Senior Sister is not here and it is just a false alarm? It would be best if they could escape safely.
Facts have proved that the more people value their lives, the more complete their equipment is. Huang Changtian has quite a few life-saving talismans, and at least eighty ghost-exorcising talismans. If they only need to deal with them for a short period of time, it is more than enough for them to find out what happened in the deserted house.
What's more, Hua Tingxuan has double insurance.
He calmly sent a secret message to Ghost Yue Lao who had been following him, asking him to temporarily calm the little ghosts who were on guard outside.
Gui Yue Lao is best at bewitching people's minds and confusing souls, which is his specialty. He does the job with ease, so Chu Danfeng and Huang Changtian both thought that their ghost-exorcising talismans were very effective. In just a few breaths, the shadowy ghost shadows before their eyes disappeared completely.
The deserted house returned to its original appearance, the rustling sound of the wind that sounded like ghosts' cries stopped, and a clear human voice was heard from inside.
"I thought you wouldn't come to see me, Bai Lu. I'm really glad you can keep the appointment." It was a clear and clean male voice, but the tone was slow and seemed sinister and frivolous.
"!!" Chu Danfeng exchanged glances with Huang Changtian and Hua Tingxuan, and then heard a familiar female voice, accompanied by the sound of a sword being drawn: "You dare to see me, how can I not come and take your life!"
The ghost cultivator did not resist. He just sighed and said in confusion, "After all these years, you still can't forgive me? It's just a fetus."
