nevitable without a struggle!Jiang Qiyun immediately gave a simple and easy-to-understand answer: "It's just two circles, the overlapping part in the middle... This building is built in that part. Whe..."...Seems like...a young man, quite tall, but a disabled person."

"Huh" Disabled person

Chen Ru hurriedly added, "I was drowsy and thought I was dreaming. He lifted me with one hand...and then threw me into a cave. I rolled a few times and touched bones before I woke up in fright...only to realize it wasn't a dream! Was this a ghost encounter!"

She looked like she was about to cry, which I found a little funny.

"You, a corpse collector... are you afraid of bumping into ghosts" I asked.

Chen Ru choked out, "Because I don't believe in ghosts, that's why I dared to do this line of work! I still don't want this disaster relief money...I never thought I would encounter a ghost one day..."

I swallowed hard, you can see the white apparition and still don't believe there are ghosts in this world

"You, you can't see him" I secretly raised my finger and pointed to the white ghost floating in the distance.

Chen Ru rubbed her eyes and asked, "What did you see"

"That's the 'handsome' man in white, isn't he" I teased.

Chen was stunned, she turned to look at me: "Yeah, where did that person in white just go I thought finally there would be another living person..."

Gone Isn't this floating

"Hee hee hee~~~" Bai Wu Chang could hear us talking even from afar. He suddenly floated over, circled us, and said with a smile, "Little Empress, it seems that this little girl's eyes can only 'open' in certain situations, ah~~~ At this time, she's not afraid anymore, but she can't see."

In order to prove that Chen Ru couldn't see him, Bai Wu Chang even floated right in front of Chen Ru.

Chen Ru rubbed her nose and sneezed: "It's so cold here..."

"With so much negative energy, of course it's cold." I took out my compass and carefully examined it under the moonlight.

This compass is smaller than an ordinary one, only the size of a palm in the center. The characters engraved on its surface are very small, so for insiders, just a glance is enough to know the contents, but outsiders would probably think it's a defective product.

This seemingly defective compass, as if it were a second-rate item, is one of my mother's commonly used objects. The Shen family calls this compass the Jade Xuánjī.

Just like the Yu Xuān Jī and the Zijiao Ruyi in my small satchel, they are both magical artifacts whose origins and functions remain a mystery.

To me, no matter what the reputation of these two artifacts is on the outside, the most important thing is that they are my mother's heirlooms. Every time I hold these two things, I feel a sense of confidence as if I were being "blessed" by my mother.

This small compass doesn't seem remarkable at first glance, but it is surprisingly effective when seeking out areas of negative energy.

I don't know why this little thing is so sensitive to negative energy. It's very good at finding places where corpses are buried and yin qi gathers. The only downside is that it's too sensitive—if there's a large amount of negative energy, the needle just darts around everywhere.

The aura here is heavy with sinister energy, and it's the severed tip of a dragon's claw. Although it has the auspicious layout of a mountain opening its account, the natural disaster has cut off the qi pulse, making the rocks, plants, and trees look chaotic and jagged. In the dark night, there's an undeniable sense of danger lurking.

Jiang Qiyun stood before me, gazing at the stars with his head thrown back. The white moonlight, like freshly fallen snow, bathed his face in a hazy glow.

He looked in the same direction as the jade compass trembled in my hand.

That was on the side of Chen Ruo's little cave.

"What are you looking at" I asked, walking up to Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me, his gaze passing over my head to fall on Chen Ru who was following behind me. He whispered, "Living creature."

"Huh"

"...The woman's cave should have been the entrance to a place where blood qi was used to cultivate living beings, but it seemed she wasn't destined for that fate. She actually woke up when she fell to the deepest part and managed to climb out." Jiang Qiyun said calmly.

"I think she's rather special too. She wasn't even afraid of seeing Bai Wu Chang just now." I whispered.

Jiang Qiyun faintly twitched the corner of his lips.

"What are you laughing at" I caught that detail with my keen senses.

"Hmm" Jiang Qiyun didn't admit it, he glanced at me and said, "Does this seat smile"

Your tone clearly has a smile in it. Addressing me with "this lord" is trying to tease and play with me.

"Mind your own business, this is the real deal within the temple's secrets. Quick, ask that Zheng expert to lead the way. He must remember the path since he brought us here." Jiang Qiyun slightly tilted his head, motioning for my brother to hurry and "bully" someone.

"Lao Zheng," my brother squatted in front of Expert Zheng, hands resting on his knees, with a roguish air, just missing a cigarette between his lips.

A wise man doesn't speak in riddles, you expert professor, once you take off that label, we're all insiders here. This is a layer within a layer of the Dao, once you enter this place, you can't leave without breaking it. Right now there's no sense of danger, probably the demon or ghost who took Chen Ruo has turned its attention to you. If you want to live, hurry and lead us to that funeral home, let's see what's going on with that corpse.

The expert immediately shook his head: "I wouldn't go back to that spooky place for anything!"

"Oh Then I'll tie you up and throw you into the den of wild beasts, see if your blood can attract something." My brother stood up and hooked his hand.

Two minions immediately scurried over, fawning: "Elder Brother, are you going to take this man away"

"Well, just pull out half his soul and let him walk into the sacrificial pit himself." My brother scoffed. "It's a pain in the ass to escape with someone who won't cooperate. Better he be dead...dead men don't have to pay their debts to that useless son of his."

Mu Xiaoye is really bad, he said a lot, the key point was the last sentence.

In this world, there's no such thing as an unfounded entanglement of cause and effect. Achi took the money and couldn't get anything done. Zheng, the expert, took the money and couldn't get anything done either. Making a "contract" with demons and wanting to walk away unscathed is too naive.

The Zheng expert was already a well-known and influential person. He wouldn't be swindled out of such a large sum of money unless his son was incompetent and had borrowed high-interest loans or something like that.

My brother, when stimulated by this, his eyes that were feigning madness cleared up considerably.

“ …You’re afraid we can’t handle this” My brother crouched down again, lowering his voice. “If even the Mu family and Shen family can’t solve this, then in this circle, you’ll probably never find anyone who can save you.”

My brother raised his finger and poked Zheng's forehead: "You've been pretending to be an expert for too long, have you forgotten your origins I just found out about your past. You have some connection with Lao Lin's family, right Your ancestor was a disciple brought up by an old master. All of you descendants are using the skills passed down from your ancestors to make money in this new era, but you've forgotten the principle of reverence."

“I, I…” Zheng Zhexian stammered, fell silent for a moment, then stomped his foot and said, “How could I have forgotten to be respectful If I wasn’t afraid of causing trouble, why would I hide like this!”

"Cut the crap and lead us to where we need to go. Don't waste our time. Forcefully breaking through will inevitably stir things up, let's just pay a civilized visit." My brother grabbed Zheng expert by the neck and forcefully dragged him forward.

The Zheng expert grabbed my brother's wrist with both hands and said, "I... I... I can lead the way, right!"

" "

Generally speaking, once a tomb is sealed with the breakwater stone, it's considered completely closed and sacrifices are only performed externally.

Leaving such an opening for livestock to be sacrificed, it resembles a sacrificial altar — for example, where Long Xiaoge and his people are located, the Great Corpse King's tomb is deep inside, while the outside area is used for rituals.

It seems that the zombie was being "raised" here, waiting for a day to be revived.

Not to mention how curious we mortals are, even Bai Wu Chang and Jiang Qi Yun, these esteemed deities of the underworld, are very curious. Otherwise, I would definitely be scolded for being out in desolate mountains at night as usual, but today, Jiang Qi Yun is accompanying me to feel the cold wind in the field.

"Let's go." Zheng Zhuan wiped the dried blood from his face, looking resolute. He whispered, "Over there in the mountain hollow, there's a marker on an old tree root…"rette to the guard and schmoozed him: "Everyone here knows the rules, right We wouldn't do anything outrageous."The security guard took a drag of his cigarette and shook his head. "Sigh, not everyone...
