Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 670 Bottom of the City of Wrongfully Dead
Di Guashao sounded somewhat disappointed when she heard Huma's words, “What, we’re going up already? I brought all my brothers with me…”
“Could it be… I’m late again?”
“……”
“No, no, you’re right on time this time…”
Huma turned his head and glanced at the Meng family’s Grand Master, miserably suppressed under the Zhensuifu incense burner, and sincerely sighed, “To be honest, there’s no problem in saying you’ve made the biggest contribution this time. Do you know who you just caught?”
Di Guashao said, “I don’t know, but he called me a thug, so I remembered it.”
“I have a good memory for people…”
“……”
Huma didn’t know how to respond. He suddenly felt that Di Guashao really had arrived late.
Senior Longjing would be so happy to see someone like you…
He sighed, “Do you remember that a member of the Tongyin Meng family, outside the fifth degree of kinship, came to Mingzhou? Back then, just one person like that scared several people in Mingzhou into becoming low-key and disappearing for several months without opening their doors for business?”
“The one you caught this time, in terms of seniority, is that member outside the fifth degree of kinship’s grand uncle.”
“……”
“Oh… promoted a generation.”
Di Guashao pondered for a moment and realized that it didn’t seem to be a topic she was interested in. She figured that anyone who could be chased by a senior like a dog to the outside of the City of Wrongful Deaths couldn’t be that important.
So she didn’t pay attention to it. However, when she thought about going up, she felt a little embarrassed and said with a bitter face, “Going up is fine, but Senior, it’s not very convenient for me…”
“…My physical body came down.”
“The truth is, I was forced to the end of my rope by the hall officials of the Wu Chang Li family up there, so I forced my way through the Ghost Gate Pass. But everyone knows that it’s easy to enter the Ghost Gate Pass, but difficult to get out. Besides, maybe as soon as I go up, the Wu Chang Li family will be watching me again!”
“……”
Huma nodded when he heard this. He had guessed it when he saw her in the pot earlier.
He said, “Then you don’t have to worry. My physical body came down as well.”
He led her to the stone platform and turned back to look at her. On this stone platform, it was different from seeing her outside. He could finally see the color of her face.
He saw that her lips were turning blue, and many unhealed wounds could be seen where her clothes were torn. Even her hair had become dry, yellow, and white. She limped as she walked… Wasn’t her leg healed a long time ago?
Did someone cripple her again?
He sighed softly, took out a small box from his arms, took out two blood food pills stained with purple qi from inside, and handed them to Di Guashao casually, “Take these to replenish your qi and blood first.”
“Eh?”
Di Guashao said, “I have blood food pills too. You gave me dozens of pounds left…”
“It’s just that seeing you, my heart softened, and I gave some away again…”
“……”
You’re actually soft-hearted like this?
Huma looked at Di Guashao’s face and was speechless. This sister was really generous…
He had given her two thousand jins at the beginning. How long has it been? Two thousand jins were wasted so quickly?
“These blood food pills are different from ordinary ones. Your cultivation is a little weak, be careful when you take them…”
Before Huma could finish his words, he saw Di Guashao already straightening her neck, rolling her eyes, and swallowing both blood food pills.
Aren’t you afraid there’s something wrong with them?
As expected of a martial world heroine, she really doesn’t fuss…
Huma sighed, took one himself and swallowed it. Just as he was about to put it away, he saw Little Hongtang beside him looking at the box in his hand with a surprised expression.
Thinking that he had been leaving her alone up there all this time, he felt guilty, so he gave the box and the remaining blood food pills to Little Hongtang, and smiled, “Eat it if you want. Is Little Hongtang greedy too?”
“It’s not that.”
Little Hongtang shook her head, holding the box and said, “I’ve eaten it before.”
“Huh?”
Huma was a little surprised. These blood food pills were given to him by Zhao Sanyi. They were already the best in the business, and they were stained with purple qi. Little Hongtang had actually eaten them before?
Little Hongtang nodded vigorously, “They were better looking than these, as big as cornbread, and purple.”
This made Huma even more surprised.
Honestly speaking, he had given Little Hongtang a lot of good things, but in terms of quality, these blood food pills given by the Divine Hand Zhao family were indeed the best, after all, they were already stained with purple qi. If Little Hongtang had eaten something better, wouldn’t that be even more amazing?
In terms of origin, it wouldn’t be surprising for Little Hongtang to have eaten them, but the key is that evil beings will have problems if they are contaminated with this kind of immortal qi…
Thinking of the people in Juéhù Village, Old Master Yan, and the Meng family’s Old Ancestor…
Apart from reincarnators, he hadn’t seen many good ones.
He was slightly distracted, thought for a while, and secretly decided to ask Little Hongtang about it carefully when he went up.
After recovering some of his cultivation, he turned to look at the bottom of the City of Wrongful Deaths. As early as when the Meng family’s Grand Master had escaped from the City of Wrongful Deaths, those Palace Lords had already disappeared. The Meng family’s generals and servants who had been scattered earlier had also long since escaped without a trace.
Since that was the case, there was no need for the Zhensuifu to stay here. He raised his hand and sent it back, leaving only the two golden-armored warriors guarding the box containing the Zhensuiji Jinjian (Demon-Suppression Golden Mace).
Although the matter here was over, Huma still clearly remembered the moment when he wielded the Zhensuiji Jinjian, the City of Wrongful Deaths…
Even now, he could vaguely feel the fleeting gaze from below.
So, after a little thought, he reached out to Little Hongtang and whispered, “Bring incense!”
Little Hongtang quickly opened the red cloth on the basket, took a bundle of incense and gave it to him. Huma’s body was extremely yang, and he blew a mouthful of yang qi on the incense. The incense head lit up. Because he was a man of pure yang, this way of lighting incense was not considered disrespectful.
Holding three sticks of incense, he slowly bowed to the City of Wrongful Deaths, and then stood upright with the incense, motionless, unwavering, and silent.
This was the method in the Ghost Gate Path, meaning asking the gods.
The incense in his hand was the meaning of asking about things. Standing quietly was etiquette, only to listen, performing the etiquette of a junior.
The smoke from the incense fluttered and scattered in this yin mansion, clearly visible, each strand slowly falling into the City of Wrongful Deaths, indicating that the other party had received the incense.
But after waiting for a long time,
Huma raised his head and was slightly surprised. The smoke from the incense fell down, indicating that his heart had been delivered, but…
Since it was resisting, then why did it help him deal with the Meng family’s Old Ancestor before?
He pondered for a long time before respectfully inserting the incense on this stone platform, and then got up to leave.
But at this moment, it seemed that a big disturbance in the City of Wrongful Deaths had finally passed, and it had returned to its earlier cold and stern appearance. A gust of wind happened to blow past Huma’s ear, and a faint sigh faintly sounded:
“Once a guest in the hall, now a stone for suppressing demons.”
“The breath of human life, unworthy to respect sinners…”
“……”
Huma turned his head abruptly and saw nothing in the empty City of Wrongful Deaths.
Yin possession can always make people feel dazed, illusory, but Huma already has the ability to distinguish between true and false with a single word, but now he actually had a feeling of being unable to distinguish clearly, and his heart suddenly felt extremely surprised, so he turned around and bowed again.
He already understood very well in his heart that he, the City of Wrongful Deaths…
I am afraid that he would have to come back sooner or later.
After a simple tidying up, he was ready to go back. There was not much to tidy up. Only the two big copper hammers that had been thrown on the ground, and the magic flag that Erguotou had left here to set up the altar.
Seeing that they were all items from the trade, not of low quality, he couldn’t just throw them away. Then Huma made preparations to take Di Guashao and Little Hongtang back to the yang world first, and then consider other matters.
If he wanted to return to the yang world, he had many methods. On this stone platform, there was a path that Mr. Longjing had left for him. Among the ten gates of harm prevention, he had left a path for himself that could lead to the depths of the yin mansion, directly to the bridge passage.
Of course, this path was only for him to use, Di Guashao could not use it. Furthermore, when he came to this yin mansion, he had prepared a path for himself.
“Huh?”
Although he couldn’t go to the bridge on this stone platform because he had brought Di Guashao, he took a look when he packed his things to leave.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat. The footprints representing that path had disappeared on this stone platform.
There were clear traces of being wiped away.
?
Only two people had come to this stone platform, that was himself and Erguotou.
Could it be that Erguotou wiped it away before leaving quietly?
Why would he do that?
Thinking that he had already shown his cards in front of this old brother, and he suddenly wiped away this retreat…
Huma was slightly stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and said nothing, pretending not to see it. He only took advantage of the fact that the City of Wrongful Deaths’ sense of rejection was getting stronger and stronger, and first asked the two golden-armored warriors to take the Zhensuiji Jinjian back to the yang world for him.
Then, he brought Di Guashao and Little Hongtang out and came to the outside of the City of Wrongful Deaths. Seeing that the Divine Hand Zhao and the two of the Descending Head Chen family were no longer waiting at the edge of the City of Wrongful Deaths, he had no intention of going to that ancient village in the yin mansion to look for them.
“After going around in a circle, I still have to rely on the methods I have prepared to go up…”
Thinking in his heart, he took out a copper coin that had been kept in his arms all along, held it in his hand, secretly activated his cultivation, and gently blew a breath on it.
As this gust of yin wind blew out, before long, he saw the fog ahead slowly dissipate. A team of little ghosts wearing white tall hats and chains around their bodies, carrying a sedan, led the way with lanterns.
Shaking and swaying, they appeared in front of them:
“Miss Xiangyu of the Dongzi Li family in Lingshou Prefecture, specially ordered us to come and welcome Master Huma of Qingshi Town, Mingzhou, to come as a guest…”
