When he first entered the Gongdian, Wu Fan's main job was the infrastructure construction around Fengdu. The hard work day and night made him miserable. Fortunately, he became a little more relaxed after he performed outstandingly and was promoted to an official position.
But this kind of relief was short-lived. Before he could take up his official position, he was sent elsewhere and had to start from scratch...
Although Wu Fan was vaguely aware that someone was targeting him, but when he thought that the person targeting him was most likely the Lord of the Work Hall, he could only grit his teeth and swallow. After all, he had lost the support of the Five Elements Cauldron, and was just a slightly stronger ordinary ghost. He was no match for these guys with powerful hands and eyes. As long as he dares to protest, he will disappear without a trace.
Teacup Ghost's advice made him firmly believe in his thoughts. Unfortunately, he couldn't protect himself now. Even if he was full of anger, it could only be turned into indifferent complaints.
There is not much time left for himself, and Wu Fan does not want to waste time here. Although he no longer believed that miracles would happen, he wanted to achieve them with his own hands.
"Thank you very much, Teacup Ghost!" Wu Fan exhaled and said calmly.
"That's serious! After all, you are... well... the second most kind person! Although the teacup ghost can't help you, it can make your life easier..." The teacup ghost also jumped into the teacup and was about to leave.
"Teacup ghost..."
"What else?"
"Since I have had a bad trip, I will give you something like this!" As he said that, Wu Fan took out a palm-sized cup from his arms.
The cup was completely black, without even a hint of luster, and looked extremely ordinary. But the moment the Teacup Ghost saw the cup, his eyes widened and he said in a voice that did not sound like a ghost: "This... this... this is Yin Qi. Cup! No, no! This thing is too precious, I really can’t bear it!"
Wu Fan looked indifferent and placed it in front of the Teacup Ghost: "Although this thing is valuable, it has no use to me. I might as well give it to someone who needs it more! But..."
"Sorry! The Teacup Ghost really can't help..." Before Wu Fan could finish speaking, the Teacup Ghost quickly interrupted and said in a deep voice, "So you'd better take this thing back..."
Wu Fan was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned. He pointed to the Yin Qi cup on the ground and said calmly: "Please, help me take care of it..." After saying that, he turned and left outside Yangdu City.
…
"You heartless boy! You want to leave the old immortal behind!" On the road, the withered old immortal shouted angrily.
"Old Immortal, when did I say I would leave you behind?" Wu Fan smiled bitterly.
"Ha! I've been following you for so long, and I still can't figure out what's going on in your mind? You just want to use that cup of Yin Qi as a trade, hand me over to the teacup ghost, and then escape on your own! Bah! Don't even think about it! "The withered old immortal said coldly.
"Old immortal, why do you think you're doing this?" Wu Fan felt helpless and said helplessly.
"No matter! Anyway, the old immortal is relying on you. You have to bring me back the same way you brought me down. You kid, don't even think about defaulting on your debt!" the withered old immortal said coldly.
"Okay, okay...it's all up to you..." Wu Fan had a headache and wondered why this guy was acting like a child even though he was quite old.
"Wait a minute! Something's wrong!" Wu Fan suddenly felt the iron rod in his hand stagnate as he walked, and the voice of the withered old immortal suddenly became alert.
"What's wrong?" Wu Fan glanced around and saw yellow mist on the ground here, but nothing unusual could be seen within his field of vision.
"Someone is following us, look..." The withered old immortal muttered a few words before he saw a stream of white smoke coming from the iron rod.
Wu Fan only felt his palms get hot, and a red light lit up in his eyes, and then he saw clearly two figures following them furtively in the distance.
"Old Immortal, when did you find out?" Wu Fan thought at first that the Old Immortal was overly concerned, but it wasn't until he deliberately walked around the spot a few times that he became wary.
"They should have left from Fengdu City..." said the old immortal, "but at that time I was thinking the same as you, thinking that they were just dropping by, so I didn't remind you."
Wu Fan frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that this matter was deliberately arranged by the person behind it? He felt that it was difficult to do anything in Fengdu, so he used this excuse to clean up the wild ghost village to send me away? "
"What you said seems to make sense..." Lao Xian nodded slightly, "What should we do now? Should we ask some of them for help?"
Wu Fan shook his head: "Now is not the time to trouble them, let's see what the situation is..." After saying that, Wu Fan stepped lightly and disappeared on the road with a whoosh.
…
"Oops! It's all your fault for dawdling, now you've lost track!"
"Isn't this just to find a solution! Let's stop complaining about each other now and quickly find out which direction this kid went while the traces are still there."
Wu Fan had just disappeared when two figures appeared behind him. The one on the left was tall and tall, like a pole, and the one on the right was short and fat, horizontal and vertical, like a bulging sack.
Hearing this, the hemp pole stopped talking nonsense and stood on tiptoe to draw circles on the ground. Then he saw two lines of footprints clearly visible on the ground.
"Yes! This way!" Seeing the footprints appear, Ma Gan hurriedly greeted Gunny, and then hurried forward to catch up.
The footprints went all the way along the path and came to a stone arch bridge. But what surprised Ma Gan was that the footprints suddenly disappeared as soon as they reached the center of the bridge.
"Ouch, chase! Why did you stop?" The sack behind him stumbled and almost hit the pole. He was a little surprised, but when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked. Called out: "Hey! This kid must have jumped into the river out of imagination!"
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and hurriedly looked down while holding on to the railing! But when they both poked their heads out, they saw a black shadow coming from below, heading straight for their lives!
Wu Fan originally thought that he would be able to escape the two men's tracking by speeding up, but he did not expect that the two men would still pursue him, and he also guessed that they must have a special tracking method! So he had an idea, jumped off the bridge, and nailed it to the eaves with an iron rod, just to catch the two of them by surprise when they passed by!
Now that things are going as he wished, how can he miss it? Since the person who comes is not good, he will not show mercy!
"Hoo!" But just when his move was about to succeed, he suddenly saw a blast of evil wind coming out of the fat man's mouth, blowing him backwards and about to fall into the river!
Although this river looks calm, it is also a tributary of the Yellow Spring. When he first set foot on the road to hell, Wu Fan could still remember all the soul-crushing scenes of falling into hell. He never imagined that the old difficulties he had managed to escape from would be reunited today.
With the catastrophe approaching, Wu Fan had no hope left in his heart, but at this moment, a cry suddenly came from the bridge: "Boy! Catch him!"
Wu Fan turned around and saw the tall and thin man throwing a shadow in front of him. He subconsciously reached out to grab it and stopped in mid-air. Then he felt his body tighten and was pulled back to the bridge by the man!
Ufan immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he was saved. He looked down and suddenly realized that what had just been thrown at him was this person's arm. He was also very curious about how this person could stretch his arm so long.
"You're just here to cause trouble for me, you broken bag, right? Fortunately, I have sharp eyesight and quick hands!" The tall and thin man put Wu Fan down and cursed at the short and fat guy.
"I was scared just now...I didn't mean to..." The short and fat guy said listlessly with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Thank you, my friend, for helping me..." Since this person was able to help me, it meant that he had no ill intentions. Wu Fan patted his clothes, stood up, and hurriedly thanked him.
"It's okay, it's okay!" The tall and thin man waved his hand, "Since you're fine, we'll leave now..."
"I said broom...um..."
"Farewell!" Before the fat man could finish speaking, the tall and lanky man covered his mouth, trying to get him out of here.
"Ahem... If you two have something to do, it's okay to say it!" Wu Fan always felt that something was wrong with the two people in front of him, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't get me wrong, little brother! We have nothing to do... We are just a couple of enthusiastic people passing by..." The tall and thin man chuckled, and suddenly rolled his eyes, "I wonder where little brother is going, is there anything we can use? place?"
"That's right! We brothers are the best at cleaning. You will definitely need us when you clean up the Wild Ghost Village!" Fatty agreed.
"Not bad!" The thin man nodded repeatedly, and then his expression suddenly changed, "No... wrong! Wrong! Big mistake! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wu Fan's smile froze: "You two...how did you know that I was going to the Wild Ghost Village?"
"This..." The tall and thin man looked troubled for a while, gritted his teeth and glared at the fat man, and then said helplessly: "Oh... in this case, we can only tell the truth! In fact... it was Brother Teacup Ghost who sent us here!"
According to the lanky man, the two of them were ordered by the teacup ghost to help them clean up the wild ghost village. But before leaving, Teacup Ghost specifically told them not to let Wu Fan know about this matter.
Along the way, they followed from a distance, always thinking about how to complete the task smoothly, but they did not expect that their strange behavior had been discovered by Wu Fan, which triggered the misunderstanding in front of them.
"Little brother, Brother Teacup Ghost told us before he left that we must not let other people know that we are here to help you! So I hope you can keep this secret for Brother Teacup Ghost's sake!"
"That's natural!" The Teacup Ghost obviously had unspeakable secrets, but he still took risks to help him. Wu Fan was moved when he heard this and naturally agreed.
"By the way, little brother, we deliberately hid our whereabouts when we followed. How did you discover our existence?" the man continued to ask.
Wu Fan thought that since they were traveling together now, the matter of the withered old immortal could no longer be hidden, so he wanted to introduce the two of them.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he was slightly startled and realized that the iron rod was no longer in his hand...
