"San'er, when did you say this was over? We worked hard to get the easy job of catching wandering souls. How come we were sent to expand the venue again in less than a day..."
The speaker's name is Niu Twelve, with the head of a bull and the body of a bull. The tendons of one arm make the gray robe bulge. His feet are like cow's hooves, with thick hoofnails and no shoes.
He had been complaining along the way, and now he let out a long sigh. The frustration and dissatisfaction in his heart had been fully displayed on his very ugly face.
"Twelve, if you have the strength, you might as well move more rocks..."
The companion who was trying to persuade him was named Ma San. He had a horse head and human body, and his upper body was exactly the opposite of Niu Twelve. He was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his gray robe looked empty even on him.
His entire lower body was made of horse legs, and his trousers were the same as those of Niu Twelve. The trousers below the knees were torn off, revealing the strong horse calves and hooves.
Ma San was untying the knife next to Niu Twelve and swung the long knife in front of him. He only heard a "ding" sound and he neighed in pain.
"Bah, how come this dark obsidian is so hard, it makes my hands hurt from the shock." Ma San cursed angrily, and his equally unsightly face immediately became ferocious.
"That's right!" Niu Twelve rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Take a good look at whose territory this is..."
As he spoke, he tilted his head and whispered in Ma San's ear, "Master Qin's things are not something we can destroy easily."
"What should we do? The mission period is only 7 days. Can we not do it and just wait to be punished?"
Ma San no longer looked as calm as before when he tried to persuade Niu Twelve. At this moment, his anger was no less than that of Niu Twelve just now.
Niu Twelve calmed down at this time, motioned Ma San to come closer, and continued to explain softly in his ear.
"Not long ago, Master Qin built a garden for that old friend. The garden was surrounded by dark obsidian stones. These were all chosen and sealed by Master Qin himself. Ordinary ghosts cannot destroy them at all. …”
"Let's go west. It's far away there and we can be more relaxed..." Niu Twelve said, extending his right index finger and pointing to their left.
However, Ma San stiffened his neck and stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing this, Niu Twelve continued to lean against his ear and whispered.
"San'er, think about it carefully. The mission only says to open up an open space on the north side, but it doesn't say it can't be in the northwest."
"Moreover, you have forgotten some of the stories that have been spread here! There are many ghosts, and there is even a Lord Hei Wuchang who is about to turn into a flesh. None of them has disappeared after accidentally breaking into this area. The last one Didn’t come out…”
"We are still on the edge... You see, this stone is so tricky, let alone what's inside... there may be some danger that we don't know about."
"The most important thing is that I heard that the expansion of the site was ordered by Deputy Ambassador Qin. He must not have wanted to disturb his eldest sister..."
"Let's go to the west side."
After saying that, Niu Twelve gently pulled Ma San's robe at the waist, then turned directly and walked towards their left side.
Ma San didn't expect Niu Twelve to know so much information. He stood there and digested what he just said. After a moment, he came to his senses and quickly turned around and chased after him.
The two headed westward very quickly, and within a short time they had completely left the area.
"Sister...sister, I...where are we going now?"
A low breath came from behind a boulder three people high. The speaker had a strong Xianghu City accent. This was Hu Fuwei asking Yu Wan about his next plan.
When Yu Wan heard Hu Fuwei's inquiry, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked her, "Fuwei, how long can you hold on?"
"Big... about an hour or so, it won't work any longer." After stumbling, Hu Fuwei shrank into Yu Wan's arms, and at the same time hugged his body with both hands.
However, even so, the pervasive cold atmosphere always surrounded her.
Because Hu Fuwei used most of her spiritual power to maintain the illusion that concealed her breath, she could only use a small part of her spiritual power to warm her body.
Unfortunately, the result of paying attention to both ends was that not only was she unable to warm herself up, but the spiritual energy in her body was consumed faster and faster.
At this moment, Hu Fuwei felt that his body was getting colder and colder, his teeth were chattering faster and faster, and his words were no longer easy to speak.
Feeling Hu Fuwei's movements, Yu Wan looked worried and hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power and empty flames to his chest to provide more heat sources.
At the same time, she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly used her spiritual consciousness to scan the surrounding environment.
Yu Wan also just arrived here not long ago.
As soon as the previous feeling of weightlessness disappeared, she immediately noticed changes in her surrounding environment, the most obvious of which was the extremely rich Yin Qi.
This kind of cold feeling that made her whole body feel cold was something she had never experienced before in the Wraith Devouring Realm.
Because of his experience in the realm of resentful spirits, Yu Wan quickly put a Yin evil talisman on himself.
This talisman was given to her by Jiang Di. Only one was used at that time, and she still has three on her body.
After activating the magic talisman, Yu Wan instantly felt more comfortable, and the cold feeling that was so strong that it soaked into the seams of her bones was much lessened. However, at this moment, she sensed the appearance of Niu Twelve and Ma San in the distance.
The two people were not very advanced in cultivation. They were only in the early stage of foundation building, and their spiritual consciousness was not very far away, so they were not aware of Yu Wan's existence yet.
Yu Wan took advantage of the gap between them and quickly called out Hu Fuwei to help cover up his aura. At the same time, he ignited empty flames in his palms, burning all his aura around him.
After quickly cleaning up, she quickly took Hu Fuwei to hide behind a very tall dark stone nearby, and then heard the two people's unusually clear conversation.
Combining what they said and the current surrounding environment, Yu Wan couldn't help but frown.
The gap left by the closed eyelids on her forehead was now squeezed into a curved shape, like a slender caterpillar.
If she guessed correctly, this place should be the underworld.
Could it be that he accidentally fell down on the Huangquan Road? But even so, why does she appear here? Where have all the ghosts gone?
There are many questions in my mind, but unfortunately this is not the time to explore them.
Yu Wan felt Hu Fuwei's body temperature gradually drop in her arms, and then realized that the Yin evil talisman photographed on her body had actually expired.
"Sister...sister, no...don't..."
Hu Fuwei's voice was trembling, trying to persuade Yu Wan not to take pictures of that talisman for her. That talisman had very little effect on her, and even tended to help the yin energy from the outside invade her body.
Knowing the reason, Yu Wan stopped activating half of the Yin Evil Talisman.
Seeing that Hu Fuwei was so seriously eroded by the Yin Qi, she immediately asked Hu Fuwei to enter the spirit animal bag. At the same time, she decided to go to the garden mentioned in the bull's head first.
Now she only has one Yin evil talisman left on her body. If she acts rashly, she may soon alert people in the underworld.
She didn't understand the power structure of the underworld, but one thing was very clear, and that was that no matter which ghost cultivator she faced, in a place where she could only rely on pills to replenish spiritual power, she would be the one who suffered.
There was only that garden. Listening to the fearful tone of Niu Tou's words, Yu Wan thought that it might be a good hiding place.
As for the danger hidden in it, Yu Wan believed that this was the least threat to her.
Having been in this world for so long, she naturally understands the importance of state of mind to a monk.
If she just listens to the so-called rumors and stories and stops moving forward, then her path to immortality will also stop here. She will never talk about ascending to immortality or cultivating immortality.
With a decision in mind, Yu Wan moved quickly to clean up her own aura nearby, and then used the Lingbo Bagua footwork to quickly go deep to the north.
She wanted to stay as far away from this place as possible before the Yin Evil Talisman on her body lost its effectiveness.
Before there is no way out, the remaining talisman in the storage bag needs to be kept as much as possible in case of emergency.
