Xuanqi, this voice is not loud. I find it faint when I listen to it. Huangshu may not be able to hear it.
Her attitude and that of Old Gong inevitably made me form two more judgments.
It's true that Huangshu doesn't want to get involved in this matter, but he also fears that Sun Zhuo may be a ghost catcher.
After all, this will certainly lead to great chaos in the supervision of the field.
With Jin Yang's strength out of balance, the Ghost Cavern might become the dominant force.
Previously, one even dared to burn the city god temple, hoping to eat rebirth ghosts.
What kind of things will the Ghost Cavern do when there is no control over them?
My mood is a bit complicated, still because of my heart's... eyes.
Only when one loses their heart and eyes can they not see the human, divine, corpse, and ghost.
Otherwise, my judgment would have been more acute.
Time is passing, little by little.
I have no sense of fatigue, just sitting inside the city god temple and resting my eyes.
At the same time, I am still thinking about what Shiyeh said earlier about the reception matter.
He transformed into the likeness of Zhang Gui.
Is it to infiltrate the Ghost Cavern from within?
Perhaps, it's not just swallowing the soul form.
Just like the epidemic ghost, digesting everything.
When dealing with Wei Youming, everyone in the field was killed, no survivors were left.
Whether Zhang Gu's life or death is not certain.
It shouldn't blow up in their face.
But for the Ghost Cavern, I am a problem person in a very real sense.
How will Shiyeh get me into the Ghost Cavern?
In fact, I don't have much ability when facing the Ninth Elder.
It's still because of Yu Xiu, I can fight him face to face!
If not for this, Shiyeh probably wouldn't have come to pick me up.
Opening my eyes and exhaling a breath of stale air, I looked at Zhenqi.
"Tomorrow's action, you cannot follow, it is truly dangerous."
"You can stay at the City God Temple or find Huangshu. As for the things afterwards, I have promised you, I will not retract my word."
The words, I didn't say thoroughly.
"Oh... I understand, sister-in-law."
This time, Zhenqi also did not act up arbitrarily.
Time flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's morning.
Zhenqi did not stay at the City God Temple and left on her own.
When the sun was high in the sky, people started coming to the City God Temple to burn incense. I retreated to the corner and waited.
Uncle Huang came out once, gave me some sacrificial fruits to eat, and then he went back to the statue.
As noon approached, there were no ordinary worshippers at the City God Temple, but a single person came.
The cheeks are sunken and the appearance is unfamiliar.
After looking at him for one more glance, I recognized him.
He is Zhang Gui!
No, it's Zhang Gui in the form of Shiyeh!
He is not a soul now; it must be that Shiyeh has used Zhang Gui's ability to return a soul to its body.
And the Shiyeh during the day is not Shiyeh, but rather the daily patrol!
Zhang Gui glanced at me, quickly moved forward, and bound me tightly in a matter of seconds.
I did not struggle.
During this period, Zhang Gui said in a toneless manner: "Shiyeh was executed, the City God is vacant, I have been hiding in the City God Temple waiting for the opportunity to swallow ghosts and cultivate souls. You sought aid from the City God Temple with your injuries, and I captured you. The Huangshu at the City God Temple is nowhere to be found."
My pupils slightly contracted.
With just a few words, he has straightened out the logic quite well.
"How to deal with her? Can you not take it in?"
Zhang Gui looked over at Yu Xiu again.
I shook my head silently for a moment.
Not only Shiyeh, but also the daily patrol, how does he view Yu Xiu?
To be able to say that he cannot accept her, does that mean he has seen through Yu Xiu's non-human nature?
Just, I still cannot understand how Yushu appeared earlier.
For a moment, the atmosphere became stagnant.
Zhang Gui remained silent, and I didn't know how to pick up the conversation.
Yushu is just a loophole.
I cannot bring Yu Xiu.
With Zhang Gui's real strength, no matter how he sneaks up, he will not be able to catch Yu Xiu.
Without bringing Yu Xiu, there is no need to bring me to find the Ninth Elder.
Shiyeh must not have enough confidence, so he pulled me in.
"Yu Xiu and I will travel together, I will keep up with you." It was then that Uncle Huang emerged from behind the statue.
Zhang Gui nodded.
He pushed me and we were on our way out of the City God Temple.
"Be careful," Yu Xiu said with an empty tone, suddenly uttering a word.
She took a step and was about to follow me.
"Don't worry, follow Huangshu." I looked deeply at Yu Xiu and replied in a deep voice.
Yu Xiu still had a hollow expression, and still walked to stand in front of me.
She slightly tilted her head and looked at me, the hollow expression on her face seemed to have added a touch of emotion that is hard to describe or explain.
"Something happened, shout Xiu Xiu." Yu Xiu reached out and pointed at my chest.
The hollow tone also seemed to carry a bit of emotion, with a touch of elegance.
I can't describe it.
Her tone is somewhat similar to Lao Gong.
But the overall impression it gives is completely different.
Zhang Gui looked at Yu Xiu for a moment.
Uncle Huang's look at her was equally thoughtful.
From their expressions, it seems as though they have some discovery about Yu Xiu.
I really want to ask if they can see what kind of existence Yu Xiu is, but I can't ask now.
Therefore, I can only nod to Yu Xiu and agree.
Of course, I also did one thing: I handed over Lao Gong's night pot to Yu Xiu and had her hang it at her waist.
After following Zhang Gui out of the City God Temple, Yu Xiu did not follow me.
When I turned back at the temple door, Yu Xiu stood there alone, staring at me in a daze.
Yes... It's lonely.
Suddenly, a feeling of emotion flared up in my heart.
This feeling is very inexplicable, yet extremely real.
It's as if Yu Xiu herself has nothing, and I, by having her follow me, have given her something... that's why she's been following me all along...
And at this time, as I leave, she becomes even more lonely.
I shook my head violently, and my heartbeat fell short.
I moved far away and couldn't see Yu Xiu anymore.
I pursed my lips, squinted my eyes, and felt the warmth of the sun on my cheeks.
There's a bit of coldness in my heart.
What exactly has Lao Qin head done...?
What exactly is the origin of Yu Xiu...?
No problems occurred during the process of leaving the City God Temple.
As soon as we reached the outskirts, we could see a car in the distance.
There were several people standing by the car.
The first person in line was a familiar face - Qiu Wei!
The others were slightly less familiar, but I had crossed paths with them a few times!
Suddenly, I realized that they were all underlings of Zhang Gui.
In that moment, I had a sudden realization.
After Shiyeh consumed Zhang Gui, digesting all of his essence, is he planning to use these underlings to gain the trust of the people in the Ghost Cavern?
It's just that I don't know how the news of me was spread within the Ghost Cavern.
As I approached the car, Qiu Wei, as well as the other people in the Ghost Cavern, looked at me with indifference and a hint of disgust in their eyes.
"Ho te."
Qiu Wei spat a glob of saliva at my feet.
"Alright."
Zhang Gui gave him a cold look.
The other few people immediately stepped forward, pushing me onto the car.
Zhang Gui sat in the passenger seat, while Qiu Wei drove.
The sky is clear and cloudless, yet the car is dark and cramped.
The car entered the city from the suburbs, and I'm not sure about its direction anymore.
During this period, no one spoke a word.
After a long while, Qiu Wei finally whispered, "Brother Zhang, Luo Xian has defected and we didn't catch the Twenty-Eight Fold Prisoner, which has caused the leader to be extremely angry. I heard yesterday that Elder Jiu from Tian Shou Temple was injured as well, also because of Luo Xian... You caught him, which is a great merit. Can't we get a new courtyard? And can we each get a bit of the Gao Huang Ghost's fragmented soul?"
My heart skipped a beat.
With just this sentence, I have roughly figured out how much the Ghost Cavern organization knows about ordinary people.
