After the lightning struck, Sun Wanqiu's true colors were revealed.
He had a huge tumor on his chest, which looked neither human nor ghost.
The tumor was still gaping its blood-red maw, greedily absorbing the scattered yin energy around it.
Mingzhuo walked over and kicked the tumor away. Without the nourishment of its source, the tumor quickly lost its vitality and turned into a piece of dry bone.
Sun Wanqiu breathed weakly for a couple of moments, "Aren't you curious why I've become like this? I..."
He suddenly widened his eyes, staring incredulously at the peach wood sword stuck in his chest.
Ming Zhuo smiled. "Sorry, but here, villains don't have last words, nor do they deserve to have names."
Who wants to hear about the tragic and miserable background and the bumpy and tortuous mental journey of a murderer? Sorry, she can't empathize with that, and she's not exactly bored either.
So hurry up and die, save everyone some time.
Sun Wanqiu's face was full of resentment and unwillingness. Suddenly, he thought of something, "You've come to find He Wangyao, haven't you? Hahahaha, even if I die, he can't live either!"
Mingzhuo utterly annihilated his opponent, then casually turned to the crowd and said, "He was too noisy."
Everyone: "..."
I was utterly shocked.
And you're being way too ruthless, killing them all like that?
The cave, which was just moments ago eerie and haunted by ghosts, was instantly clean and tidy.
Mingzhuo used his phone for illumination, "Are you planning to stay here? Don't you find it smelly?"
She couldn't stand it for even a second longer. That damned thing's illusion wasn't very effective against her. From the moment she came in, she could smell a faint, fishy stench.
Now that the illusion was completely gone, the stench suddenly became so strong that she felt like vomiting.
"Yes, Master, we'll be right there," Zhuang Xun said respectfully, snapping out of his daze.
The others also realized what was happening and followed Mingzhuo out of the cave.
Outside the cave was a dense, deep forest, rarely visited by humans, with trees blocking out the sun and even the moonlight.
The car they were in was stuck among the trees, entangled in vines.
“Young… Fellow Daoist, shall we look for Young Master He here?” Daoist Tingyun hadn’t forgotten tonight’s mission.
Everyone was looking at Mingzhuo, and they were already vaguely regarding her as the person in charge.
The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Young Master He is not here. He is probably lost in the wilderness by the Sanzu River."
Humans have their way, and ghosts have theirs. The River of Three Crossings is the dividing line between life and death. He Wangyao is neither alive nor dead, and unable to find her way home, she can only wander aimlessly in the wilderness.
Master Tingyun suddenly realized that things were getting tricky; where were they supposed to find someone?
Souls wandering in the wilderness will only become confused and forget everything, eventually turning into ghouls of the Sanzu River and becoming part of its nourishment.
This means that if you die, you won't even have the chance to be reincarnated!
A sound suddenly came from the darkness, and everyone turned around to look.
"President Gu?" the driver exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Xu's gaze fell on the group of people... They were all disheveled, as if they had just gone through a fierce battle.
Only Mingzhuo remained clean and refreshing, with a rather different style.
He glanced at the car entangled in vines and said, "I had someone check the guesthouses on the mountain, and He Wangyao hasn't been there."
The guesthouse owner was quite surprised, saying that Xiao Sun's parents passed away when he was in high school, and the villagers lent him money to go to university, but he didn't come back for four years of university.
I never imagined that after graduating from university, he would resort to fraud and deception. It's utterly despicable!
He was a little confused. If He Wangyao hadn't come to the guesthouse, then where had she gone?
Mingzhuo sighed; he knew he would have to work overtime again tonight.
She took out a pair of small gold bracelets, which were birthday gifts given to He Wangyao by his parents when he was a child.
The positive energy of kinship can transform into a raging fire, preventing evil spirits from approaching and illuminating the way home.
Mingzhuo: "I'll cast a spell to find them right away."
After saying this, she lit a talisman, then began to form hand seals and silently chant incantations. Soon she closed her eyes and fell silent.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Tingyun and Master Yuanhui sat down to meditate and help protect the Dharma.
Gu Xu's pupils contracted sharply. He looked at the girl with her eyes closed in the moonlight and was absolutely certain that she had stopped breathing and her heart was no longer beating.
——
He Wangyao felt like she had walked a very, very long way, but the surrounding area was still pitch black, without a single light.
He was very confused. The guesthouse was not located in a remote mountain area, so how could he have walked for so long without seeing any villages or towns?
As he pondered this, he gradually felt as if his mind had been filled with fog, and he couldn't remember anything...
Who am I? What's my name? He suddenly panicked. Why can't he remember?
"He Wangyao." A voice suddenly called out to him.
Her mind cleared instantly. He Wangyao looked at Gu Xu, who was some distance away from her, and wondered when she had let go of Gu Xu's arm.
He quickly stepped forward and took the other person's arm, whispering, "Ah Xu, don't you think this place is strange?"
The fields were covered with grass that was half a person tall, and the wind blew from time to time. The only sounds were the rustling of the grass and trees, and there seemed to be no living creatures around.
No, it wasn't completely silent; there was a constant rustling sound behind them.
But the sound was very different from their walking rhythm, and it was getting noisier and noisier... as if something was following them.
