Chapter 61 Is it possible that it is just one person?

The rugged path finally came to an end.

The outline of a huge city that is even larger and more gloomy than Yinluo City is faintly visible under the dim sky of the underworld.

"Ghost realm," Xiaobai muttered in a baby voice.

This is the destination.

Before they even got close to the city gate, waves of ghostly voices and discussions drifted over on the cold wind.

"Have you heard? General Wudao has a new apprentice."

"That's right. It's a grand ceremony."

"I heard it's a living boy, or a demon?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, this is the secret of the General's Mansion."

Living people, demons?

The little radar in Xiaobai's heart was beeping.

How come this description is similar to what the ghost guards of Yinluo City said? The more she listened, the more it sounded like her third senior brother whom she had never met.

A demon went to the underworld to worship the ghost general as his master? This operation is too cool.

Xiaobai's big eyes rolled around. No, he must go and take a look.

She made up her mind and took a step with her short legs, preparing to move towards the most imposing building in the city - the City Lord's Mansion.

As for the "mysterious man" behind him, Xiaobai turned around and took a look. Hmm? Where is he? The black-clothed masked man who was there just now has quietly merged into the deeper shadows without anyone noticing. Ran away? Not likely. Xiaobai snorted and wrinkled her nose. She could feel that complicated gaze, still like a nail on her back. Tsk, a follower.

Xiaobai ignored him and quickly dived into the bustling crowd of ghosts in the ghost realm.

In the darkness, Yun Zheng's figure reappeared like a ghost, following Xiaobai not too far away, and the look in his eyes under the mask was dim and unclear.

At the same time, in the Ghost Domain City Lord’s Mansion, there was a side courtyard filled with gloomy air.

The rumored "lucky guy" Li Xiaoran, who was forced to be accepted as a disciple by General Wudao, is undergoing secret training.

Yan Jinjin was holding his chin, sighing at the black, squirming "delicacies" on the table. "Sigh..." This was the 108th time he sighed today.

Why is life so frustrating? All I do here is eat and sleep, it's not fun at all.

And the food in this ghost land is hard to describe.

He missed the sweet and sour pork ribs cooked in the sect cafeteria and the soft face of his junior sister.

I don’t know how my junior sister is doing now, and whether she has been bullied by bad guys.

The more Yan Jinjin thought about it, the more depressed she became. She stretched out her finger and weakly poked at the unknown object on the plate.

On the streets of ghost town.

Yan Jinjin is conducting his third "street patrol" of the day.

Purpose? As always, I wanted to find something to eat and see if there was anything fun to do.

Unfortunately, he really couldn’t appreciate the “delicacies” of the ghost realm.

As for the fun of a group of ghosts floating around, what's so good about it?

“I’m so hungry…”

"I am bored……"

"Second Brother is not here..."

"Junior Sister is not here either..."

Yan Jinjin kicked the empty stones under her feet, and her baby face was almost wrinkled into a ball.

Just when he felt that he was about to die of starvation and boredom, suddenly, his thigh seemed to be entangled by something soft.

His subconscious reaction was: "There are ghosts." No, he was in the ghost zone now, and there were ghosts everywhere around him.

What is that? Yan Jinjin lowered her head stiffly and slowly.

A small, chubby face, as familiar as a carved piece of jade, was looking up at him eagerly with a pair of unspeakably clear and bright big eyes.

"Hehehe, Junior Brother found you."

Yan Jinjin blinked, and then blinked again. It was an illusion. She must have missed her junior sister too much and was hungry, which caused her to hallucinate.

He was overwhelmed with sadness and was about to rub his eyes when the "hallucination" moved.

I saw the little "illusion" standing on tiptoe, struggling to dig out a shiny candy from his little pocket that was filled with countless treasures. Then, he stuffed it into his palm in a flash.

A childish voice sounded, with a familiar sweetness: "My dear little brother, have some candy." The palm of my hand felt real, and there was the sweet fragrance of candy. Yan Jinjin: "It's real!" It's not an illusion, it's really my little sister!

"Little—Junior—sister—"

A scream of surprise that was so loud that it broke the voice resounded throughout Ghost Street. Yan Jinjin grabbed Xiaobai into her arms and spun around in circles excitedly, almost throwing Xiaobai out.

"It's really you, why are you here, I missed you so much.

"Little Junior Sister, you must have suffered a lot to find us. Senior Brother is incompetent. But now that you are here, it will be miserable. Second Senior Brother was forced to recognize his master, and I don't know where he was imprisoned and suffered."

Yan Jinjin hugged Xiaobai and started crying.

In the shadow of a street corner not far away, Yun Zheng watched this scene quietly, watching the little figure being tightly embraced by another young man.

Watching her giggle, patting the boy's shoulder, and occasionally touching his head, his thin lips under the mask were almost imperceptibly pursed, and in his heart, an inexplicable, sour emotion, which he himself had not even noticed, quietly spread.

Like being unhappy? "Oh, unhappy?" A teasing yet extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded in the depths of his mind.

"Does it make you feel uncomfortable when you see her smiling at others?"

"So why did you treat her like that before? Pretending to be mute? Playing mysterious?"

"Tsk tsk, you really say one thing and mean another. Xiaobai is such a good person, she must hate me to death. No, she hates you to death."

"But please come closer, let me see her. Her senior brother looks familiar, as if I have seen him before, but I can't remember where."

Yun Zheng's eyes turned cold instantly.

"Shut up, it's not your turn to laugh at me or order me around."

In his sea of ​​consciousness, he growled harshly at that restless voice.

"Stop making so much noise, you piece of crap, who told you to come to the underworld? You're just a poisonous demon, what's wrong with being a demon? You're so hypocritical.

Look at you when you were abandoned by the Nangong family. Who in the world of alchemy could protect you? You were just a weak alchemy practitioner who couldn't take care of yourself.

You should be thankful that you and I are one, otherwise you would have died long ago from a small evil poison."

Then a powerful spiritual force with a destructive aura suddenly erupted and slammed into the source of the sound.

“Hmm…”

The voice deep in his consciousness seemed to be hit hard, and he instantly became weak and fainted.

"Pfft, what a noisy loser. I really don't know why we are one and the same."

In reality, Yun Zheng’s body shook violently and a sweet feeling appeared in his throat.

He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth. A trace of bright red blood slowly slid down his fingers and dripped onto his dark robe silently. His face under the mask was as pale as paper.

He did not regret this behavior that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

If you are always such a waste, you might as well die.

Seeing Xiaobai and Yan Jinjin preparing to leave for the City Lord's Mansion, Yun Zheng also followed.

"So the person in the rumor is the second senior brother." Xiaobai was happy but also unhappy.

"Yes, I was also scared when I heard the rumor. Hahaha, little apprentice sister, I told you that General Wudao is a bit moody. You have to be careful not to make him angry. I feel he is very strong."

"By the way, junior brother, do you know about the third senior brother?" Xiao Bai thought about it and decided to ask Yan Jinjin.

"Third Senior Brother, I only know that he is an alchemist. I think I have seen him before or not. Anyway, he left the gift for his apprenticeship at my door every other day.

I wanted to thank him but he closed the door and kept making noises as if he was busy refining the elixir, so I thanked him from the outside door instead.

"What do people in the sect say about him?" Xiaobai asked persistently.

"Everyone in the sect knows him. He is a gentle and helpful alchemist, but he is often not seen. In fact, little sister, I have only seen the eldest sister, the second brother, and you in our lineage.

I became a disciple too late, and I have barely met the Third Senior Brother, the Fourth Senior Sister, and the Fifth Senior Brother."

"It seems that I can only ask Second Senior Brother."

"Little Junior Sister, why are you asking about Third Senior Brother?"

"Because I think I spotted someone who looked like my third brother, so I wanted to ask him about it, but I was afraid I wouldn't know him because we passed by him that day."

"Then we can only ask Second Senior Brother. We can't contact the outside world right now, so we can ask Junior Brother Liu to introduce him. Maybe there is a portrait."

"Junior Brother Liu seems to know a lot about all the sect's affairs." Xiaobai thought of Liu Fufeng. Indeed, if she were the sect leader, the next sect leader would be Junior Brother Liu, who was indeed a person with high cultivation and emotional intelligence.

If we talk about the deputy head, it would be Junior-Junior Sister Yuyan, who is very reliable.

No, you're thinking too far ahead.

"Junior sister, junior sister, why are you in a daze? Don't you know that Junior Brother Liu is a know-it-all? There is no information about the cultivation world that he doesn't know. Basically, he is the one who makes the sect's business bigger and stronger."

Thousands of miles away, Liu Fufeng was on patrol. This was the fifth tavern, which finally gave the troublemakers in the Beast Taming Peak something to do. The beasts were responsible for planting and picking, the disciples were responsible for brewing wine, and the elders were responsible for transportation.

Who doesn't know about Qingling Sect's Daughter's Red Wine? By the way, the weapon refining pavilion has also been opened, and the restaurant has also joined.

The beauty and skin care store that I opened together with Yaozong next door is also under renovation. I'm busy, really busy.

It is indeed becoming bigger and stronger all the time.
