Chapter 213 Let's pay our respects to this Black Wind Stronghold Chief.
Nighttime, Black Wind Village.
Zhai Rong and the talisman disappeared, landing in a deep mountain forest.
She waved her hand to close the Bagua Formation and put the Boundless Divine Tortoise into her cloth bag.
Black Wind Stronghold is indeed well hidden.
[With its many twists and turns, you really wouldn't be able to find your way if you didn't spend years here.]
She looked around.
It was pitch black except for one house with a light on.
Zhai Rongyu, wearing an invisibility talisman, swaggered in.
After leaving the Ghost Market, she made a deal with Jun Ce: one of them would go to Black Wind Village to stop Lou Yu from supporting Nan Sang, while the other would stay in Hai Mu City to deal with Helian Kuangmo and Wu Muyou.
Hehe~ Teamwork makes the dream work~
[Lou Yu wants to conspire with Nan Sang to plot against her brother.]
I'll deal with him first, then let's see how arrogant Princess Nansang will be without her backup plan.
Lou Yu sat in the main seat of the village's council hall, rubbing his temples with both hands. "How's the clearing of those rubble going?"
"Reporting to the chieftain! That road has been completely destroyed. The rubble has been cleared away, but it's still impassable..." Seeing Lou Yu's unfriendly expression, the underling hurriedly added, "But don't worry, chieftain, I've already ordered the brothers to repair the road."
Lou Yu sat up straight, and Zhai Rongyu then noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
Wow, this is even more panda-like than a panda!
"How much longer will it take?" Lou Yu asked, his expression grim.
The Longyan court is pressing us hard; if we can't reunite with Nansang soon, it could delay important matters.
The younger man looked troubled and hesitated before saying, "At the earliest... it will probably take at least two days."
Lou Yu's expression suddenly changed for some reason. He stared blankly at the empty space in front of him, his fingers gripping the side of the chair tightly, his voice trembling slightly, "Transfer all the brothers from the village over! As soon as possible!"
He jumped up as if being chased by a ghost, and hurriedly left the council chamber.
"Yes..." The underling bowed and clasped his hands. When he looked up again, Lou Yu was nowhere to be seen. He scratched his head. "Why has the chieftain been appearing and disappearing so mysteriously lately..."
Zhai Rongyu opened her third eye and saw that there really was a ghost floating behind Lou Yu.
She followed along with great interest.
Lou Yu walked to the main house and slammed the door shut.
He leaned against the door, panting heavily, and his eyes caught sight of the talisman on the door, which reassured him somewhat.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Bodhisattva, please show your power..."
"Evil spirits, begone... evil spirits, begone..."
He patted his chest, hurriedly walked to the table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and gulped it down.
His eyes, however, kept darting around nervously.
These past few days, I don't know what's gotten into me, but I've been able to see ghosts!
This made him unable to sleep well at night and unable to manage things during the day.
He sent someone to the Taoist temple to obtain this peace talisman, but it could only ensure the peace of the main house.
I wonder when this will end.
Hey……
Lou Yu sighed.
Zhai Rongyu sat beside him, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with light.
His dark pupils darted around.
She took out a talisman and silently recited the Wind Spirit Incantation.
Lou Yu got up and walked to the bedside. Just as he was about to lie down and take a nap, a sudden gust of wind blew through the room for some reason. He turned his head in alarm to look at the tightly closed window.
"Why is there wind..."
He suddenly looked towards the gate, and the talisman on the gate floated down as his eyes widened, and the gate slowly opened.
Lou Yu's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the bed.
"Ghost...ghost...ghost!!!"
A ghost entered with its hand half-raised, and floated straight to Lou Yu. It tilted its head, its eyes half-open, and its tongue stretched out, curiously examining Lou Yu.
A sense of fear instantly overwhelmed my entire body.
Lou Yu's vision went black, and she collapsed stiffly onto the bed.
Zhai Rongyu raised her hand, and the door slammed shut. She waved her hand to remove the invisibility talisman and clicked her tongue twice with some sympathy.
The ghost turned to look at her.
The eyeball fell completely to the ground.
Zhai Rongyu picked up the eyeball and kindly put it back in, then pinched the ghost's chin and commanded, "Open your mouth!"
The ghost glanced at the Hunyuan Bell in her hand and obediently opened its mouth.
Zhai Rongyu flicked its tongue, and the big red tongue snapped back in a flash.
"Don't go out like that next time, it's so undignified!"
Even ghosts should pay attention to their appearance!
"If you run into the ghost messengers inspecting the area, where will you put that ghost face of yours?"
This Black Wind Stronghold is hidden deep in the mountains and forests year-round, shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
No wonder it attracted so many wandering ghosts.
These lazy ghost messengers probably wouldn't bother coming to such a gloomy place to catch them.
The ghost had just returned home and its eyes were wide open.
It looked at Zhai Rongyu suspiciously, "How could you touch me?"
It retracted its tongue and was finally able to speak normally.
Zhai Rongyu picked up a handkerchief to wipe her hands and blurted out, "Didn't your King Yama mention me to you?"
A ghost shook its head, looking completely bewildered.
Yama... that's a big shot that it might not even see in its entire ghost life.
“That’s right, he hasn’t mentioned it!” Zhai Rongyu put away her handkerchief. “Perfect, I don’t know him either.”
Ghost: ...
"But that doesn't stop me from taking you in."
Zhai Rong shook the Hunyuan Bell in her hand. The ghost was startled by the Dao energy emanating from her hand and took a half step back in fear. "You...you, let's talk this out! Don't fight!"
"Why are you clinging to him?" Zhai Rongyu pointed to the unconscious Lou Yu.
The ghost dared not hide it, "Those wandering ghosts all said that this person could see us, and everyone was curious, so every now and then people would come to see the excitement."
Zhai Rong chuckled, her gaze towards Lou Yu filled with even more sympathy.
The ghost glanced at her, then tentatively said, "Sir, if you don't like me bothering him, I'll leave now!"
Zhai Rong tilted her head to stop it, and smiled slyly.
"Go and call all your brothers and sisters over so they can all pay their respects to this Black Wind Chieftain."
……
Zhai Rongyu pinched Lou Yu's philtrum.
He slowly woke up and saw a row of ghosts lined up beside his bed, each one ugly in its own way and terrifying in its own unique way. His eyes immediately widened like copper bells, then rolled upwards and he fainted again.
Having no other choice, Zhai Rongyu could only put a sobering talisman on him.
[This person is tall and burly, with broad shoulders and a strong build, how come he's so easily frightened?]
She shook her head and patted Lou Yu's face.
Hey! Big guy! Wake up!
Lou Yu regained consciousness and found that she could no longer pass out. Tears and snot streamed down her face in fear.
Upon seeing Zhai Rongyu, the only human among them, he didn't care who she was or how she got in. He grabbed her clothes and cried for help, "Bodhisattva! Bodhisattva, please help me! Bodhisattva, save me!"
He pointed to the orderly procession of ghosts floating beside the bed, and could barely speak.
"It, it, it, they..."
“They are all here to keep you company on the orders of Yama, the King of Hell.” Zhai Rongyu interrupted him. “Yama loves you and pities your loneliness, which is why he sent so many ghosts to keep you company.”
She pointed at the group of ghosts, "Look how lively it is!"
Lou Yu burst into tears.
