Chapter 77



The dragon was dragged away with its mouth covered.

The voice uttered an "Huh!" as if realizing something. "They're ghosts! Come on, bring them up here! I've slept for so long and am hungry. A few fresh ghosts would be a perfect snack."

The ghosts surrounding Gu Wang and the others immediately pointed their weapons at them, emitting a sinister ghost aura.

General Beiyuanshan watched this scene with pride, waiting for the sight of these little devils begging for mercy in pain.

However, the ghosts in the center of the encirclement——

Ghost God: "What are these? Can you eat them?"

Mountain Ghost: "Well, there are so many people in the north of the forest. Why not send them to my place to plant trees?"

Yoshigami: "Ah—A-choo!"

With a loud crash, several soldiers in front of them knocked the ghosts to the ground.

A ghost falling down... who would believe this?

Gu Wang held his forehead with his hand. "Keep your voices down. Also, these ghosts can't be eaten. They've been buried underground for years. Aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating them?"

The ghosts in the amusement park were in chaos, and no one took this General Beiyuanshan seriously.

The general was furious. "All of you, listen up! Attack! Kill all these devils! That pretty boy in the middle—yes, the one in white clothes—he looks good. Stay here and guard the gate for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started looking for someone who looked good.

He looked around and saw that he was the only one wearing white. He was just laughing when he suddenly felt the temperature rise next to him and the red fire of karma began to burn.

Gu Wang turned around and saw Lu Wu looking ahead expressionlessly with a cold look in his eyes. "Hey, you..."

Lu Wu turned around and smiled at him, "This so-called general is too close to the amusement park. He might become a disaster if he stays here. I'll go deal with him."

As he spoke, the karmic fire suddenly turned into a fire lotus, the petals bloomed, and his figure was no longer there.

The general roared, "What big talk! Whoever takes care of him... Hmm? How did you get in?! Come on, capture him!"

"Ouch—trash, hurry up, stop him!"

“Ah! It’s so hot—”

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

"Grandpa, spare me—ah, it's almost done, it's almost done..."

"I'm sorry, I won't dare to do that again. I'll guard the door for that little white... the grandfather in the little white clothes, okay?"

Everyone in the amusement park: Gu Wang coughed lightly, "Leave him alive for now, I have something to ask."

After a while, Lu Wu came out with a cold face, carrying a, no, a general wearing armor and weighing three hundred pounds.

The general was still steaming, his face was black, and his hair was curled from fever. He had been severely punished.

He saw everyone and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Please spare my life, my dear men. I will never do that again."

Gu Wang: "Look up."

The general raised his head. On his face, covered with flesh, were a pair of eyes so small that they were invisible. His eyesight seemed to be not very good. After a while, he shouted: "Huh? Is it a living person? If I had known, I would..."

Lu Wu stepped forward.

The general screamed, "If I had known earlier, I would have come out and kowtowed to Grandpa..."

Gu Wang was speechless. What kind of general is this? He bullies the weak and fears the strong.

He asked, "When were you buried here, and why did you choose this place as your grave?"

The general said honestly, "I am the Great Protector of the Yuan Dynasty. I was buried over two thousand years ago. I chose this place because a miracle happened here at that time."

Gu Wang became interested and asked him to explain in detail.

General Beiyuan waved his hand, dismissing his soldiers. He said, "That year, a huge gate suddenly appeared here, gleaming with golden light. Many common people saw it, and some even said they saw mountain gods walk in and never come out."

Everyone nodded, knowing that this was the beginning of the Three No Return Seal, and the gods and ghosts entered the seal at the request of Heaven.

But they didn't know what happened after that and could only listen to what the general said.

General: "After the gate closed, it fell into the ground and disappeared. But the entire ground was covered by a golden light. Until a golden seal appeared and pressed down on the ground, the golden light and the seal disappeared."

"At that time, several high-ranking monks said that this was a sealed land, where many gods were sealed. Whoever could obtain the golden seal would become the master of this land and thus conquer the world. I was ill and dying at the time, so I sent many people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. So I simply chose this place as the general's tomb, hoping to obtain the golden seal after my death."

Sun Fei squinted at him and said, "Which monk would say such a thing? Have you been deceived by some evil heretic?"

The general nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything. Now that he thought about it, the rumor was indeed a bit strange.

Gu Wang asked him again, "Are you saying that Beiyuan Mountain is also within the seal?"

The general nodded. "That golden light was quite large. It encompassed not only Beiyuan Mountain, but also a large open space to the south and a river to the east... Hey, is that river still there? It was the only river we had back then."

Gu Wang frowned. Of course the river was there. It was just to the east of the amusement park. It was the only big river in Yaoguang City, named Qingshun River.

However, according to General Beiyuan, the area occupied by the amusement park is only one-third of the sealed land.

If we want to rely on the spirits of the people in the four seas to suppress the seal, we will probably have to get the remaining two-thirds.

The general was afraid that his answer would not satisfy the crowd, so he pondered for a while, "Oh right, after the golden light of the seal disappeared, a stone tablet appeared on the ground. There were words written on it, but no one could understand them."

Everyone hurriedly asked him, "Where is the stone tablet?"

The general pointed backwards and said, "It's inside my tomb. I used it as the main gate."

Everyone: “…”

That's a stone tablet sent down by heaven. You're asking for death by using it to look at the tomb door!

Everyone quickly followed him back to the mausoleum.

Beiyuan Mountain is so close to the amusement park that everyone is very familiar with it. They saw that a big hole appeared where there was originally a huge rock halfway up the mountain. When they walked into it, they could see a long stone corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a stone gate more than three meters high, which is the entrance to the general's tomb.

As everyone walked in, Sun Fei, Gao Manting and a few other young people were still discussing, "Speaking of which dynasty is this Yuan Dynasty? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Me neither. It should be a small dynasty, the kind that was destroyed after only a few decades."

"That's true. This general's tomb doesn't look very luxurious."

General Beiyuan held his breath and dared not speak.

When they arrived at the stone gate, they found that there were indeed some incomprehensible words engraved on it.

Of course, only some people don’t understand...

As they walked in, Gu Wang, Lu Wu, Night Wanderer, Zi Gu and others all spoke at the same time: "Divine text?"

These characters are actually the characters used by gods.

The text was mostly incomplete, so Gu Wang and Lu Wu began to try their best to decipher the remaining words that could be seen.

The others also tried their best to help. Gao Manting and others went back to get flashlights and brought paper and pen to take notes.

This crack took a day and a night.

The few people who could understand it were exhausted, as reading the divine text consumes spiritual energy.

But fortunately the entire text was translated.

The first half of the text essentially states that the human world is about to enter the Dharma-Ending Age, and to protect it, the three realms are being separated. The gods and ghosts are being sealed in the Three Lands of No Return, etc. This is information everyone already knows.

The second half says that the seal has lasted for three thousand years, and because of the long-term inability to communicate with each other, many problems have arisen in the three realms.

Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in the human world, bad luck is growing, resulting in more and more demons awakening and fewer and fewer righteous monks.

In the fairy world, the spiritual energy is too expanded, and many gods cannot bear it, so they can only choose to hibernate.

As for the underworld, because it cannot communicate with the human world, it is unable to control the ghosts stranded in the human world, and there are not enough ghost messengers, so it has become a transit station for ghosts.

The following says...

After reading it, Zi Gu said in surprise, "So, now is the time for the three realms to connect?"

Ji Shen nodded, "That's right, but this connection isn't complete. It's just the exchange of spiritual energy, yin energy, and bad luck. And this opening is precisely in the place of no return."

"In order to ensure the safety of the human world, the spirits of the four seas need to continue suppressing the seal. When the seal is completely suppressed, the seal will appear to assist the master of this place in balancing the energy of the three realms."

The Ghost Goddess said carelessly, "What's the point of knowing all this? The amusement park still needs to be open, and the scale needs to be expanded!"

Everyone thought about it and agreed!

The entire sealed land is much larger than they imagined. For the safety of the three realms, they still have to continue to open the amusement park. Moreover, it would be best if they could take over Beiyuan Mountain and Qingshun River and develop them into amusement projects.

But this matter cannot be rushed, it needs to be planned carefully.

If we were to say who among everyone present was in the worst mood, it would be General Beiyuan.

After listening to everyone's translation, he was stunned for a long while before he reacted and said tremblingly, "You guys want to develop my Beiyuan Mountain into some kind of amusement park?"

Everyone looked at him, "This..."

The general's eyes were filled with tears. "From now on, Beiyuan Mountain will be yours?"

The general felt very sad. He had just woken up for a few hours, and it seemed that he would be homeless?

Gu Wang quickly comforted him, "No, you can still live in Beiyuan Mountain. We are just adding some entertainment activities so that others can come and play."

General Beiyuan sniffed, "Really? But I don't want others to come... come..."

Lu Wu glanced at him.

General: "Come to play, huh? Of course the more the better. I love people coming to play in my tomb!"

General: QAQ;

Gu Wang coughed lightly and said, "It's best if you can think it through. There's no rush for development, so you can just live here first. But don't hurt anyone!"

The general nodded quickly. Hurting people? He wished he could go back and sleep for another three thousand years, ideally until that amusement park closed down.

Everyone in the amusement park came out of the mausoleum and continued to move Chen Tiaozhu's grave.

I just dug a hole before, and haven't done anything further.

But there was no problem with the date. When Gu Wang looked at the date, he said that three consecutive days would be good days, and any day would be fine. Chen Tiaozhu chose the first day himself.

After moving the graves, the few people just walked to the foot of the mountain and found that the staff of the Special Bureau were waiting for them.

The staff member said cautiously, "Master Gu, we've detected unusual fluctuations of Yin energy in Beiyuan Mountain. Do you know what's going on?"

Gu Wang: "Oh, it's nothing serious. The general in the general's tomb on Beiyuan Mountain has woken up."

The staff member was more cautious. "Could you please tell me how old this ghost is?"

Gu Wang: "About three thousand years!"

Staff: “…”

The staff member gasped and pinched his own Ren Zhong. "Master Gu, this evil spirit must have been subdued by you, right?"

Three thousand years of ghosts! Three thousand years! The combined cultivation of everyone in their Special Bureau might even be three thousand years!

Gu Wang comforted him, "It's not a ghost. We have already discussed with him that he will not hurt anyone. Also, I want to ask you something."

The staff member said seriously: "Please speak."

Gu Wang: "Who is the owner of Beiyuan Mountain? Fengdu wants to contract this mountain. Please help to connect them."

The staff member was overjoyed. Master Gu was planning to keep this thousand-year-old ghost under his watch! He quickly said, "I'll check it out for you right away!"

Without waiting for Gu Wang to refuse, he immediately opened his laptop and turned on his cell phone to talk to his colleague.

Gu Wang originally wanted him to send him a text message, but seeing this situation, he could only wait by the side.

Fortunately, the staff acted quickly, providing the results in about five or six minutes. "Master Gu, the information we've found indicates that Beiyuan Mountain belongs to a young man named Ning Zeyang. This is his current address."

"Ning Zeyang..." Gu Wang thought carefully, "This name sounds familiar."

Lu Wu also felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Gu Wang calculated and felt something was wrong, so he took out the compass.

The compass needle had just swung half a circle when there was a snap and the compass cracked.

A clear gasp was heard and everyone was stunned. Who on earth was this person who broke their director's compass?

Gu Wang frowned slightly, ignoring everyone's surprise, and said slowly: "I remember now."

He said to Lu Wu, "Do you still remember Chen Zuye?"

"Chen Zuye..." Not only Lu Wu, but also Snake Girl, Chi Jing and others seemed to be thinking about something.

Chen Zuye set up three corpse-raising sites to prolong his life. Because his plans were ruined by Gu Wang, he wanted to kill Gu Wang at the Du family's ancestral tomb, but was killed by Gu Wang himself.

He also gave Gu Wang a summoning circle, specifically used to summon Lu Wu.

Thinking of Chen Zuye, everyone also remembered who Ning Zeyang was.

Chen Zuye has a small notebook in which he records the people he wants to kill or has already killed. The second to last name is Gu Wang, and the first to last name is Ning Zeyang.

According to the order, after he killed Gu Wang, he would go to find Ning Zeyang, but he no longer had the chance.

Gu Wang didn't take Ning Zeyang seriously at that time. After all, Chen Zuye was dead, so this man was safe.

But I didn’t expect that Ning Zeyang is the current owner of Beiyuan Mountain.

Gu Wang looked at the address and found that it was in Yaoguang City.

It’s not far, so it’s convenient to go over and take a look.

——

In Tianyue Community, Yaoguang City, under an old tube-shaped building, two young people who are out of place in this old and dilapidated community are waiting for someone.

One of them has clear eyebrows and eyes, slightly upturned corners of the mouth, and a natural smile on her face, which is exquisite and beautiful.

The other one was wearing a red windbreaker and looked so handsome that he was evil.

In fact, there was a staff member from the Special Bureau standing next to them, but for some reason, others assumed that the three of them were not together.

The staff member silently shrank back to hide his ordinary face.

Many of the grandmothers and aunts passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances at them, and some even wanted to introduce some girls to the two young men.

Gu Wang glanced to the side and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so cold, the mothers-in-law don't mean any harm."

Lu Wu looked at the old lady who said she wanted to introduce her daughter to Gu Wang and walked away with a stiff face, and said puzzledly: "I'm not cold."

If you release it, you will release heat.

Lu Wu couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought about someone coveting the people around him.

Gu Wang's mind moved, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't agree to it."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and added, “I’m too busy at work and will delay others.”

The more he added, the more something seemed wrong, so Gu Wang stopped talking silently.

Master Gu hasn't realized yet that he has already accepted the fact that "Lu Wu is unlikely to like him".

Lu Wuding looked at him and whispered, "I'm not busy. I'm not afraid of being delayed."

Gu Wang was stunned. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward. His face suddenly became hot. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of an electric bike outside. An aunt on the side of the road pointed outside: "Hey, aren't you looking for Xiao Ning? He's back."

Gu Wang quickly walked out of the shade and said, "Oh, okay, thank you, Auntie."

Lu Wu, who was following behind, pursed his lips silently and followed.

Staff: Hello? Does anyone remember him?

Outside, a young man dressed in delivery boy's clothes parked his electric bike, took off his helmet, his face flushed and his hair wet with sweat.

He also heard what his aunt said, looked up in confusion, and saw Gu Wang.

He showed an expression of sudden realization and ran over, "Ah, it's you!"

Gu Wang said calmly: "Do you know me?"

But secretly he was observing the young man.

He knew why this young man was recorded in Chen Zuye's notebook, and he also understood why his compass was broken.

This young man's fate is rather special, it is the fate of Tai Chi Chong Sha and incomplete Hua Gai.

Such people have few relatives, often their parents died early, leaving them alone and helpless, with few connections. However, they themselves are free from illness and disaster and are very healthy.

More importantly, people with this fate have souls that have inherent nourishing power, and after being swallowed, the evil cultivator's cultivation level can be greatly increased.

The reason Chen Zuye remembered his name was probably to devour his soul. Or worse, to take over his body. After all, Chen Zuye's original body was already as old as a rag.

The reason Gu Wang's divination plate broke was because Chen Zuye had placed a restriction on him, preventing other sorcerers from knowing Ning Zeyang's location. Chen Zuye wanted to keep the spoils to himself.

So many thoughts flashed through my mind, but in reality it only took a minute.

Ning Zeyang had already come in front of Gu Wang and said with a smile: "I've seen you on the surveillance camera."

Gu Wang was stunned: "Surveillance?"

Ning Zeyang said, "It's hot today, let's go inside and talk. I have a lot to ask you and this young man."

He was talking about Lu Wu.

Several people went into the house together.

The staff member who was ignored again followed behind with a calm face and said, "I'm fine, it's okay."

Ning Zeyang's living place is very cramped, with the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all squeezed into one room, but it is kept very neat and clean, with no odor.

He gave the only two stools to Gu Wang and Lu Wu, and put some books on the ground, and turned on a creaking old-fashioned fan.

Then he said, "I pressed the surveillance camera in Liudu Village before."

Liudu Village... Gu Wang thought for a while before remembering that Liudu Village was the village where Chen Zuye was!

Gu Wang realized that Ning Zeyang was not completely ignorant of Chen Zuye's behavior.

Ning Zeyang's next words also confirmed this point. He said: "About a year ago, I suddenly realized that someone was following me. It was very strange. I had no money and I was not a beautiful girl. I couldn't understand why I was being followed."

"After that person had been following me for over a month, I noticed the door lock had been pried open. I quietly activated the surveillance camera at home."

"Later, I discovered that after entering the house, the man didn't steal anything, but instead drew some messy patterns under my bed and put some strange potions in my cup.

I took photos and went to a nearby temple to inquire. The monk there said it was some kind of sorcery and that they wanted my soul. They told me to move away quickly and as far away as possible so those people wouldn't find me.

"I thought, if I move away, won't those people look for someone else? So I wanted to find those people and see if I could find some evidence, preferably to call the police. So I started stalking the person who was stalking me."

"Later, I followed that person to Liudu Village. I was afraid that the village was the base camp, so I didn't dare go in. I only installed surveillance cameras outside the village. I found that the leader of those people was an old man, and the people following me were also sent by him."

"Later, I saw you guys go in. I saw something like a magic circle rising above the village. After that, no one followed me anymore, and that organization disappeared. I knew it was you who saved me."

Ning Zeyang sincerely thanked Gu Wang and Lu Wu.

Gu Wang wanted to give him a thumbs-up. This young man was amazing, both brave and resourceful. The most amazing thing was that he didn't enter Liudu Village, otherwise Chen Zuye would have discovered him right away.

As for surveillance, Chen Zuye, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, probably doesn't even know what surveillance is.

The staff of the Special Bureau was confused. "Wait, excuse me, what is Liudu Village? What? Could you please explain it in detail?"

Gu Wang was puzzled, "You don't know?" It would have been fine if they didn't know before, but didn't they know after Chen Zuye died?

The staff member said embarrassedly, "Master Gu, I believe you can see that the Special Bureau was established not long ago, less than a hundred years ago. Therefore, there are many secrets that we have not yet mastered..."

A hundred years is like a child's time in the world of metaphysics. You should know that many metaphysics sects have a history of about a thousand years.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, just look at Ge Yi. Even though he may seem unreliable, the Ge family’s ghost-controlling technique has been around for at least a thousand years.

The Special Bureau was in a worse situation, having only been established for a short time and not many experts. So after clinging to Master Gu's support, they were reluctant to let go.

Gu Wang told the story.

The staff's jaws dropped. What? Chen Zuye was a centuries-old monster? And he'd killed tens of thousands of people?

Fortunately, Master Gu has killed him, otherwise the Special Bureau would be a problem again...

The staff member said with a sweat, "I'm sorry, Master Gu, we really didn't know about this. I will apply for the bonus for you now, along with the reward for subduing the General of Beiyuan Mountain..."

Well, if there's anything wrong with having a rich partner, it's that money gets spent faster...

Gu Wang waved at him and explained his purpose to Ning Zeyang.

Ning Zeyang agreed immediately upon hearing this. "Beiyuan Mountain was left to me by my grandfather. There's no use for me keeping it. Master Gu, you can take it if you want. I don't want any money. Just consider it as a way to repay you for saving my life."

How could Gu Wang feel comfortable asking for it for free? Ning Zeyang was so poor, so he had to pay.

Ning Zeyang thought for a moment and said, "Master Gu, I'm definitely embarrassed to ask for money. I don't even know how to repay you for saving my life! Besides, I'm a graduate student now, and delivering food is just to supplement my living expenses. I'll definitely be able to support myself with my salary in the future, so don't worry."

"If it's possible, I really do have something I hope you can help me with."

Gu Wang hurriedly said, "Please speak."

"I know people like you are good at fortune-telling. I believe you can see that both my parents are dead."

Ning Zeyang said frankly, "Actually, not only did my parents die. When I was five years old, a mudslide hit my village, and all sixty-three people in the village died except me."

Sixty-two lives… After he said that, the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

The staff member nodded and said, "I've heard of this. It happened in Xiaogangu Village, west of Yaoguang City, eighteen years ago. A massive mudslide disaster struck. I heard it was autumn, not the peak season for mudslides, and it hadn't rained before. I don't know how it happened."

Ning Zeyang: "That's right. Actually, I've always had a question about this."

He looked at Gu Wang and said, "That night, I had a dream. I dreamed that there was a monster in the sky above Xiaoganggu Village. I couldn't see its appearance clearly, but I could hear it talking. It said, "Sixty-three people are enough."

"Then I saw the sky above the village was blood red. Then I woke up from my dream and saw a mudslide in the village. My mother stepped on my father's shoulders and carried me to the roof. I survived by holding onto a big tree that rushed down."

"Master Gu, I've been wanting to find someone to ask, is this dream I had real, or am I too young to remember it correctly?"

Ning Zeyang sighed, "I've always thought this dream was unusual. But I've also consulted the masters at the temple, and they all said that the mudslide in Xiaoganggu Village was probably a natural disaster, not the work of evil spirits. So I'm not sure if this was really a dream, or just a figment of my imagination driven by self-blame."

Gu Wang did not deny it outright, but asked, "Can I see your palm?"

Ning Zeyang immediately stretched out his hand.

Gu Wang took a look and subconsciously looked at Lu Wu.

Lu Wu nodded, closed his eyes, and began to check the Book of Life and Death.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, "Sixty-two people died in an untimely death."

To die an unnatural death means that one's life span is not over yet.

Gu Wang sighed, "Your dream is true. It seems that we have to go to Xiaoganggu Village."

A monster that can kill sixty-two people in one breath must not be allowed to wander around.

——

Just when Gu Wang and Lu Wu found Ning Zeyang and were about to go to Xiaoganggu Village.

At the entrance to the amusement park, Cheng Leyou looked at the ghost in front of him and said angrily, "I told you we don't accept ghosts here! And we have to charge an entrance fee. Do you have money?"

General Beiyuanshan said shamelessly: "Didn't the director say that from now on, Beiyuanshan will also be part of the amusement park. Whatever money is involved, just let me in and play for a while. I won't cause any trouble."

Cheng Leyou said angrily, "Didn't you say before that you didn't want to open an amusement park in Beiyuan Mountain?"

General: "Oh, I didn't know people nowadays are so awesome! I just took a quick look up the mountain. This place called the Amusement Park is so much fun! Back then, we could only enjoy cockfighting and dog walking. There wasn't anything fancy like that!"

Cheng Leyou was speechless. "No, no, if you want to play, wait until Beiyuan Mountain is developed and then play on your own land. We have so many ordinary tourists here, what should we do if something goes wrong?"

General Beiyuanshan stiffened his neck, and just when Cheng Leyou thought he was going to attack, he saw this big guy weighing more than 300 pounds sitting down on the ground, revealing his figure while other tourists were not paying attention.

He said smugly, "If you don't let me in, I'll just sit at the door and not leave! Humph, I'll block your door!"

Cheng Leyou: “…”

Cheng Leyou took out his cell phone and called the head teacher while crying.

A moment later, a familiar announcement echoed over the amusement park: "A temporary event, 'Fat Man's Doorstep,' has begun. Whoever can pull the fat man away from the entrance will receive a park-wide voucher worth 100 yuan. This event allows players to form temporary teams, and each winning team member will receive a prize. Happy gaming, everyone!"

General Beiyuanshan: "..."

The author has something to say:

General Beiyuanshan: What fat man? Where is the fat man? Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution between 2022-07-16 22:06:49 and 2022-07-17 22:18:49——

Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
