I naturally knew who Xie Ban Gui, the Po Jun Ghost King, was.

Xie Ban Gui, the Grand Coffin Bearer of the Coffin Gate, who controlled the Po Jun Coffin, suppressed the Yellow Springs as a half-ghost, and sat on equal footing with the ghosts and gods of the underworld. Even if I didn't want to inquire about him, someone would mention his legend.

But what about legends? I never liked the Coffin Gate, so I didn't need to admire a ghost or god.

After frowning again, Zi Wan'er said, "This matter has to start when my teacher was traveling the martial world."

"When my teacher was young, he had a childhood sweetheart. Later, they were both taken to a forbidden area. The girl was turned into a living puppet, and my teacher was erased of his memories and exiled to the martial world."

"Many years later, they met again. My teacher didn't remember having a childhood sweetheart, but he fell in love with her because of a vague sense of affection. In order to prevent my teacher from being threatened, the girl committed suicide in front of him, and my teacher almost became a demon because of it, slaughtering the martial world."

"Back then, if it hadn't been for Grand Master Uncle using the Shattered Dream Fist to shatter my teacher's memory, my teacher would have definitely fallen into the demonic path."

"After my teacher forgot about that girl again, he accepted my mistress. My mistress loved my teacher wholeheartedly, but she knew that although my teacher had achieved the position of a ghost and god, commanded the three armies, and was renowned throughout the two realms, he had never been truly happy. There was always a lingering shadow in his heart."

"But that girl's soul had already dissipated, and even if my teacher had heaven-defying cultivation and endless life, he would never be able to wait for that person again."

"My mistress understood my teacher's pain, so she hid it from my teacher and captured the secret guards who had created the living puppets in the first place, and imprisoned them all in Paper Man Village, promising that as long as they could create another living puppet, they would let them leave."

"To be on the safe side, my mistress also brought a secret technique from a grandmaster, the 'Blood-Imbued Paper Puppet,' and passed it on to the descendants of the Mo family."

Mo Caiwei couldn't help but ask when she heard this, "What is the relationship between the Mo family and Xie Ban Gui?"

Zi Wan'er replied, "The Mo family was also a secret guard, and they once led the 'Mo Bu Gan Dang' among the four major secret guards. However, because the Mo family helped my teacher, they didn't participate in the creation of living puppets, so my teacher let the Mo family off. He also allowed them to inherit the secret technique of their ancestor."

"The Mo family has always been remorseful about hurting my teacher in the past. My mistress giving them this opportunity can be regarded as wanting them to untie the knot in their hearts!"

Mo Caiwei nodded.

Zi Wan'er continued, "My mistress arranged the affairs of Paper Man Village and returned to my master's side, and didn't mention the things here to anyone. She just sent me here regularly to check on the situation."

"Unexpectedly, I was just sent out by my master to carry out a mission, and so many things happened here."

"The four families actually joined forces to plot against the Mo family, tricked them into stepping through some sect's heavenly gate, and almost caused the Mo family to be exterminated. They deserve to die."

When I heard this, I asked, "As far as I know, Tigu and the other three seem to be the four loyal servants of Tan Lang! This doesn't seem to match your statement, does it?"

Zi Wan'er sneered, "What kind of things are they? They are just people from the descendants of the secret guards who were lucky enough to become ghosts and gods. When my teacher fought with their ancestors, they didn't even know where they were waiting to be reincarnated."

That made sense. It turned out that Tigu and the others hadn't met the sorcerers of Paper Man Village before they came.

After they arrived, they had been hiding in Paper Man Village to restore their strength, and they were also helping the ghosts and gods under Mo Family Village find a way to revive living people. It wasn't until Bo Pi appeared that they truly surfaced.

I estimated that when the Mo family was tricked into stepping through the heavenly gate, either they suspected the motives of the four families, or they set up this forbidden area to guard against the Bo Pi Ke who hadn't been suppressed that year. It was just that their descendants hadn't had time to activate the forbidden area before they died at the hands of the ghosts and gods of Mo Family Village.

Zi Wan'er said, "If I hadn't happened to arrive, I really wouldn't know how to go back and explain to my mistress."

I looked at Zi Wan'er with a smile that wasn't a smile. "When did you come?"

Zi Wan'er said, "I came before you even entered the village."

"I wasn't in a hurry to take action because my junior sister had complained about you. I just wanted to see what your character was like? That's why I waited until now."

I said in a deep voice, "Were you the one who picked me up in the water?"

"Yes!" Zi Wan'er said, "If you hadn't passed the test, I wouldn't have saved you. You are very..."

I raised my hand and said, "Stop! I don't need the people from your Coffin Gate to comment."

Zi Wan'er was slightly stunned. "You seem to have some misunderstanding about the Coffin Gate?"

"No misunderstanding!" I stood up. "It's just that the people from your Coffin Gate are too self-righteous and aloof."

I said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me, Zi Wan'er, on what basis are you testing my character and commenting on my personality?"

"Based on the fact that you are a direct disciple of the Coffin Gate? Or based on the fact that you are a ghost and god?"

"Don't say that the Yin-Yang lineage has already left the Coffin Gate, even if we were still peripheral disciples of the Coffin Gate, what qualifications do you have to come and test me?"

"Is it because I, Li Po, have learned the secret techniques of the Coffin Gate? Or is it because you have always regarded the Yin-Yang lineage as slaves?"
