Chapter 78



In fact, before the broadcast, some tourists had noticed General Beiyuan. He was wearing armor and had a strange appearance. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary tourist.

After hearing the announcement, the tourists burst into laughter, thinking that this was an entertainment program that the amusement park had prepared long ago.

Immediately, a group of tourists surrounded the fat general.

The fat general was startled. "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Pull me!"

"Hey, you damned living people..."

"The armor is going to fall off—"

"You are a minority and you are bullying a minority!"

The amusement park is filled with a happy atmosphere.

On the other end, Gu Wang hung up the phone and said calmly, "There was a minor problem at the amusement park, but it's been resolved now."

Ning Zeyang hesitated to speak, as if he had heard something rude like "Fatty is here"...

Gu Wang pointed ahead and asked, "Is that the old site of Xiaoganggu Village?"

Ning Zeyang looked up and said, "Yes, that's it."

The once peaceful and tranquil mountain village has disappeared.

A mudslide came down the mountain, burying the entire village. But after nearly two decades of natural changes, grass and trees have grown on the mud.

Only the eaves and stone platforms exposed in the corners show that there were once traces of human habitation.

As the group approached, they heard a dog barking.

The staff member was puzzled: "Is there anyone still living here?"

Ning Zeyang: "As far as I know, no. After the mudslide, people in several nearby villages were terrified and moved away overnight. No one lives within a 30-kilometer radius anymore."

The staff member looked nervous, "Could it be that the monster is still here?"

Gu Wang listened carefully for a while, "Hmm..."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "Go forward, there shouldn't be any danger."

The staff felt a little relieved and walked ahead to clear the way.

The barking of the dogs became more and more excited, the kind of barking of guard dogs raised in the countryside.

When they arrived at the village ruins, they found a yellow pastoral dog looking at them fiercely and making intimidating growls.

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Good dog, a great guard. But he's blocking us from getting closer, right?"

Gu Wang looked somewhat sympathetic and asked Ning Zeyang, "Do you know this dog?"

Ning Zeyang was a little confused, "Hmm? It seems... it does look familiar..."

He was too young when he left home and had experienced a lot of trauma, so he couldn't remember many things.

After a while, he tentatively called out, "Ah Huang?"

The grinning yellow dog paused and looked ahead with some confusion.

Ning Zeyang called out again: "Ah Huang, do you still remember me?"

The yellow dog whined a few times, walked over and sniffed a few times, then suddenly started wagging its tail and circled around Ning Zeyang excitedly, making a puppy-like whimpering sound, and it was obvious that it recognized him at a glance.

Ning Zeyang smiled and said, "It's really you, you're still alive..."

He reached out to touch the yellow dog, but found nothing.

Seeing his expression frozen, Gu Wang said reluctantly, "It's dead."

Ning Zeyang's hand froze in mid-air.

Ah Huang waited for a long time but was not petted, so he looked up with puzzled eyes.

Ning Zeyang sighed, "Ah Huang, be good."

The yellow dog was soothed by words, wagged its tail, and lay quietly beside its little master, not moving.

Gu Wang and the others then looked up at the ruins.

Eighteen years have passed, and there is no trace of life here anymore. Even the cause of the mudslide is difficult to verify.

The only evidence is that the Book of Life and Death shows that all 62 people died in accidents.

Where should I start checking?

Gu Wang was thinking when he noticed something in his bag making a strange noise.

His bag contained some utensils used for rituals, as well as his master's relics, and nothing of unknown origin.

What moves?

He took it out and saw that it was a cold jade bottle. The liquid in the bottle seemed to be alive, making the bottle tinkle when it was hit.

Gu Wang remembered it when he saw the bottle.

This bottle contains the essence of spring water given to her by the Fairy of Well Spring.

At that time, the Zhuo family was harmed by someone. The sorcerer colluded with Zhuo's nanny Chen Xueer. One wanted to marry into the Zhuo family and become the mistress of the house, while the other wanted to capture Zhuo's guardian deity, Jingquan Fairy, and use her as a servant ghost.

In the end, both of them were sent to the police station by Gu Wang.

There was something special about that incident: it was the first time that Gu Wang discovered the trace of the greedy beast.

It was because the Greedy Beast obscured the perception of Fairy Jingquan that she was unable to discover the whereabouts of the sorcerer.

Gu Wang looked at the shaking cold jade bottle in his hand in silence.

Although the Fairies of Jingquan are guardian spirits, they are definitely not good-tempered ghosts. Not only are they cruel, but they are also vindictive.

Thinking of this, Gu Wang simply opened the cold jade bottle.

A blue light emitting a biting chill floated out.

Lu Wu immediately grasped Gu Wang's hand, and a thin layer of red lotus fire ignited, blocking in front of him to drive away the cold air.

Gu Wang was not afraid of the cold, but somehow he did not refuse.

The blue light floated in front of their eyes for a moment, and then shot in a certain direction like an arrow.

Gu Wang immediately said, "Follow me!"

The blue light was zigzagging in front, and several people were chasing it closely behind.

After an unknown amount of time of chasing, the blue light stopped in front of a steep mountain wall.

Gu Wang frowned as he looked at the mountain wall in front of him.

Ning Zeyang caught up breathlessly, "This mountain is called Xiaogang Mountain, and the one next to it is called Xiaogu Mountain, which is also the origin of the name of Xiaoganggu Village."

Gu Wang frowned and said, "The atmosphere here is not right."

He looked at Lu Wu.

Lu Wu felt it for a moment and said, "It seems like something is blocking it..."

The spring water essence flying in the air turned around anxiously and suddenly crashed into the mountain wall.

The essence of the spring water turned into a rushing stream, hitting the mountain wall again and again. The seemingly smooth and hard stone wall turned into muddy water and was washed down.

Gu Wang looked down and said, "This soil..."

Lu Wu blocked him, picked up a little, and burned it to ash with the red lotus fire. "It's shadow soil, which can be used as camouflage and is afraid of water. Rumor has it that after the separation of the three realms, the shadow soil disappeared in the human world."

Gu Wang nodded, "I just don't know if the rumors are unbelievable, or if this monster was hiding here before the separation of the three realms."

Under the flushing of spring water, the shadow soil was washed clean, and a dark stone cave appeared on the flat mountain wall, and a strange smell emanated from the cave.

Everyone watched as the stone cave appeared.

The staff of the Special Bureau took out special mobile phones to take pictures, and then immediately sent them to their colleagues in the bureau, for fear that if something happened to them, the news would not be sent out.

After the mud and water had drained away, Gu Wang and Lu Wu were the first to go in.

The cave is very deep, the passage is winding, and there is no light at all.

Lu Wu raised a small fire lotus in his left hand, illuminating the entire cave.

"Hmm? There are paintings on the mountain wall." Gu Wang said.

When the others looked, they saw that, sure enough, some scenes were painted on the cliff face with very simple strokes.

Gu Wang thought about it and retreated back to the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, he saw it there too.

He looked carefully:

The first picture shows two groups of people fighting with a dark cloud floating in the sky.

In the second picture, the war was extremely brutal, with corpses scattered all over the ground and dark clouds growing bigger and bigger.

In the third picture, the survivors covered their faces and cried, and the dark clouds grew legs.

In the fourth picture, people bowed down to the dark cloud, and the dark cloud turned into the shape of a monster.

Gu Wang looked at the monster, which had no eyes or nose, only a huge mouth that could swallow the sky...

This is the scene where the greedy beast appears in the world!

Gu Wang frowned. No wonder the essence of the spring water followed the scent to find him. It turned out that it had discovered the trace of the greedy beast.

He continued reading.

This group of people began to worship the Greedy Beast, and with the increased power of the Greedy Beast, they became invincible, but at the same time their greed and desires became more and more intense.

They wanted to pursue larger territories, more food and slaves... In the end, they died because of their own greed.

And the greedy beast began to look for the next worshiper.

The Greedy Beast is the embodiment of greed, and naturally it is also affected by it. Its big mouth foreshadows its appetite that will never be satisfied.

It converts more and more people into its believers, making the entire human world a mess.

Until one day, a huge golden gate fell from the sky, the land of no return became a seal, and the three realms were separated.

Originally, the Greedy Beast should have disappeared from the human world, but it somehow managed to evade the Heavenly Dao and hide itself in this small mountain wall.

That's right, Gu Wang now saw that this cave was exactly where the Greedy Beast had been hiding for three thousand years. A trace of its breath still lingered in there.

After thousands of years, its strength was greatly reduced, so when it realized that the seal of the three realms was unstable, it quietly slipped out and devoured all the villagers of Xiaoganggu Village to restore its strength.

Then start making trouble.

The last few murals show the huge door, the golden seal, and a huge golden seal.

Gu Wang looked at the golden seal engraved with auspicious clouds and exotic beasts and said thoughtfully, "I guess it risked emerging from its hiding place because it wants to get the golden seal."

Lu Wu pondered over his words and nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. If we get the Golden Seal, we can control the entrance to the sealed land and come and go freely within the Three Realms. We won't have to fear the Heavenly Dao anymore."

The staff member came over and asked cautiously, "Um, what is the Golden Seal? What is the Sealed Land?"

Gu Wang and Lu Wudu looked at him. Ah, it seemed that he forgot to tell them again...

The two explained it to him, and the staff member took notes with a bitter face, wondering who was the official here, and why was he always one step behind Master Gu...

After the situation was understood clearly, several people walked out of the cave. The staff said that someone would come to take over the cave later.

They will always pay attention to the situation around the cave to avoid alerting the enemy.

They can't find any trace of the Greedy Beast now, but there's no guarantee it will come back to check.

On the way back, Gu Wang asked Ning Zeyang if he wanted to adopt Ah Huang.

Ning Zeyang was shocked and asked Ah Huang if he could still be adopted in this condition.

Gu Wang smiled and said, "Of course, although Ah Huang has become a ghost, animals don't care about the time of reincarnation. He can stay by your side and wait for you for a hundred years before reincarnating with you. If you want to keep him, I'll give you some talismans. Stick them on Ah Huang and he will be like an ordinary dog. He won't be afraid of the sun and can touch anything. Just like ordinary dogs chew bones, he chews on incense and candles."

Ning Zeyang smiled, "Master Gu, thank you."

When the talisman paper was stuck on Ah Huang, he finally felt the touch of his master stroking his fur. He rubbed his palms in grievance and groaned.

Ning Zeyang sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Huang, I'm late."

Gu Wang and Ning Zeyang signed the transfer contract for Beiyuan Mountain.

Ning Zeyang was still adamant about not wanting the money. This trip to Xiaoganggu Village had helped him understand the truth behind the mudslide, and he no longer had any regrets.

Gu Wang had no choice but to count: the amusement park at the beginning was bought for him by his master; the wasteland for the first expansion was given by the Zhuo family; the second and third expansions, including the forest scenes, were all rewards from the Special Bureau.

Now for the fourth expansion, Beiyuan Mountain was given away to Ning Zeyang for free again.

Master Gu thought, maybe he was destined to be a freeloader!

Even with this, there are always fans asking the amusement park to raise prices. He can't even spend the money he has now, so raising prices again would be even more serious...

When they returned to the amusement park, they found a crowd of people gathered at the entrance.

A closer look revealed that General Beiyuan, despite his large frame, was walking with his eight-step steps inward, standing by the entrance like a young wife.

A bunch of tourists were surrounding him, touching him and saying, "Wow! You're really fat! So plump!"

General Beiyuan: "You are the fat one, I only weigh over 300 pounds!"

"Huh? The armor is real, it must be really heavy, right?"

"It's true. We were so exhausted when we were pulling him just now. It took dozens of people to pull him."

General Beiyuan: "Of course it's real armor. I spent a lot of money to make it!"

"Can I touch the breastplate? Can this breastplate really block arrows? The NPCs in Fengdu are so detailed!"

General Beiyuan: "Hate it, don't touch it——"

Gu Wang:? ?

Lu Wu:? ?

No, they haven’t seen each other for just one day, why is the general so shy? Has he been replaced?

The two looked at each other, quietly blended into the crowd, pretending not to see what happened.

With the transfer contract of Beiyuan Mountain, Gu Wang immediately surrounded Beiyuan Mountain with an illusion.

White mist surged in the amusement park, flowing towards Beiyuan Mountain and enveloping it.

The tourists in the park exclaimed in amazement. No matter how many times they watched this scene, they would never get tired of it. It was like a miracle.

Many old tourists guessed that Beiyuan Mountain would also open a new scene, and they couldn't help but feel excited and looking forward to it, and they all guessed what the scene would be.

Gu Wang opened his eyes and found that as the amusement park expanded, his control over the sealed land also increased.

Before, he had been able to sense when the seal was opened, just like when Ji Shen appeared, he sensed it in the small restaurant.

And now, he can not only sense it, but even influence it.

The door to the sealed area was a third of the way open, and the figure inside was blurry. Gu Wang channeled his spiritual energy into the seal, causing the door to open at a much faster pace, opening three or four inches in just ten minutes.

Gu Wang's eyes narrowed. This was quite good. He knew that the Greedy Beast was eyeing the Golden Seal, and although he wasn't afraid, it would be good to have more help.

From then on, he would set aside some time every day to speed up the seal so that the next ghost or god could come out faster.

After Beiyuan Mountain was incorporated into the amusement park, the development of new scenes was put on the agenda.

Gu Wang was quite relaxed about this and asked Cheng Leyou to discuss it with General Beiyuan. One of them was the original owner of Beiyuan Mountain, and the other was the manager of the amusement park, so they just represented the opinions of both sides.

Although General Beiyuan doesn't seem very reliable, Cheng Leyou is just right here!

Master Gu: Hands-off Shopkeeper.JPG;

Cheng Leyou communicated with the fat general for two days and wanted to resign very much.

No one knew what kind of general this fat man was. He had no idea what he was capable of. One moment he wanted to build a palace on the mountain and let tourists pretend to be palace servants to serve him; the next moment he wanted to build a stage and let tourists pretend to be actors to perform in the theater.

Cheng Leyou was speechless. "Can you please stop bothering tourists? We already have a stage. Chen Tiaozhu and the Pidai Lingren will take turns performing. I've never heard of tourists being allowed to perform there! How about this? We turn the entire Beiyuan Mountain into an ancient battlefield, and you lead your men in a pretend battle with the tourists, okay?"

General Beiyuan looked around and said something else, "Ah, the ancient battlefield... Well, you have a stage, why didn't you tell me earlier! I'll go and see it someday..."

Cheng Leyou narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Why are you feeling guilty? Is the ancient battlefield proposal a bad one?"

The fat general said weakly, "No, I don't feel guilty. I'm just afraid. My soldiers are big and strong. What if they accidentally hurt the tourists?"

Cheng Leyou: "I asked some gods to put restrictions on the soldiers so that they won't hurt the tourists. And the so-called war is just a show, just like a game."

He looked at General Beiyuan with a sharp gaze, "Why don't you agree? Could it be that... you're a fool who's never been on the battlefield, and you're afraid it would be too embarrassing to be defeated by even tourists?"

General Beiyuan was not confident. "Who, who is a fool? I am such a big guy, how can I be a fool?"

Cheng Leyou said firmly, "Then you have never been on the battlefield!"

General Beiyuan: “…”

He feels so guilty!

Cheng Leyou said speechlessly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had never been to the battlefield? If you had told me earlier..."

The fat general covered his ears and ran away, shaking the ground. "I won't get involved in setting up this scene. You can handle it yourself!"

Fat General: Hands-off Manager.JPG;

Cheng Leyou: “…”

Laugh around, the social animals laugh around.

It was not until two days later that he brought the newly-made plan to Gu Wang for review.

I asked, "Director, do you have any ideas for the publicity plan for this scene?"

Gu Wang blinked, "Do we still need publicity?"

Cheng Leyou: "You can't say that. Although we are very famous now, it is precisely because of this that those who are still unwilling to come to Fengdu are difficult to impress. If we want to make them interested in Fengdu, we must use drastic measures!"

Gu Wang looked at him with admiration, and then he remembered that this guy wanted to list Fengdu in the illusion!

Cheng Leyou chuckled, "Director, could you please get Fengdu on the provincial TV news again? Preferably during prime time. It doesn't matter if you pay for it, we have plenty of money now!"

Gu Wang nodded, "How about we spend money to go on the Chinese main station?"

Cheng Leyou: "That would be great!"

Gu Wang raised his hand and threw him out, "Go back to sleep, you can dream about anything."

However, neither of them expected that the new scene of Beiyuan Mountain in Fengdu would actually be broadcast on China Central Radio and Television, even earlier than the documentary.

The reason for going up there is a bit bizarre...

Here's the thing.

That day, Gu Wang suddenly realized that the employees of the amusement park had not had a meal together for a long time.

It is a coincidence that the amusement park has been busy ever since the hotel opened, with all kinds of things happening one after another.

Although these are all good things, the employees are indeed a bit busy.

Again, it's a good thing the employees are non-human, and more human contact is good for them. Otherwise, with this busy schedule, I'm afraid many people would quit.

Gu Wang wanted to combine work and rest, so he asked his employees to take turns taking holidays and go to the city center for a group dinner, which he paid for.

The employees arranged their own shifts, divided into three waves, and took turns going for three days.

On the third day, General Beiyuan also went along. This fat man was most interested in eating, drinking and having fun.

Gu Wang also pulled Lu Wu along.

The group did not look for a big hotel. They ate Guo An's meals every day in the amusement park and were used to the high-end cooking skills.

So, following the suggestions of Sun Fei and Gao Manting, they found a smoky roadside stall and planned to eat crayfish skewers. They also ordered a pitcher of beer.

It’s not that they can’t eat ordinary food, but they need Gu Wang to chant the food-digesting spell for them, which is more troublesome.

They all came out. Gu Wang was definitely not afraid of this little trouble, so he chanted a spell for them one by one.

There were a lot of people at the roadside stalls in the summer. Many people recognized the NPCs from Fengdu, and many came up to say hello and take photos with them.

As the NPC in the Embroidery Tower in the first scene of Fengdu, Sun Fei was recognized the most. Plus, she had drunk some wine, so her face was flushed, as if she was drunk.

After taking photos with passers-by, she sat down alone under a tree by the roadside to rest. She couldn't help laughing and felt that life was really good after coming to Fengdu!

Fortunately, she met the headmaster at that time, and fortunately, she did not try hard to ask the headmaster to suppress her, but agreed to come to Fengdu to work.

She was so happy that she couldn't control her ghost power and couldn't help growing her nails long and braiding her hair into a pigtail.

Just as she was thinking, someone suddenly hugged her waist from behind, "Are you drunk..."

Sun Fei turned around and said, "Huh? I'm not drunk!"

The man was a thin man. He looked up and saw her long nails. He was startled, then reacted, "You're already so drunk, and you're still saying you're not drunk. Stop it and come home with me..."

Sun Fei's eyes turned blood red and she looked at him coldly, "I said I'm not drunk, who are you looking down on?"

The man screamed in fear, "Fuck!"

Gu Wang was paying attention to this side and asked loudly: "Sun Fei, what's wrong?"

When the man saw the large table of people, he quickly got up and ran away, "Sorry, I got the wrong person!"

Gu Wang only saw a crawling figure and frowned.

Sun Fei stood up quietly, still remembering to conjure up two feet for herself, "Humph, you insist on saying I'm drunk, but I can still drink..."

Gu Wang was speechless. He poured her some beer and thought that at worst he could just put everything in a requiem bottle and take it back.

The ghosts and gods drank happily. In fact, ordinary wine has limited effect on them, and they will be fine once their ghost power turns.

The ghosts all knew what was going on. They saw that they were all drunk at the table, but when they stood up before leaving, they were all sober.

The owner of the barbecue stall was shocked and thought that he had seen many people who were drunk, but it was rare to see someone with such good manners. He even gave Gu Wang a zero.

The group walked out of the night market. It was already early morning and there were fewer people.

A thin man in front was supporting a girl. The girl was pale and had a painful expression. Beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead.

No one paid attention at first, but Sun Fei accidentally looked up and said, "Huh? It's that person!"

Gao Manting next to her asked her: "Who is it?"

"Just now I was sitting on the side of the road to rest, and that man insisted that I was drunk and wanted to take me away." Sun Fei squinted her eyes and looked ahead, and now she realized something was wrong.

Gu Wang, who was walking at the end with Lu Wu, looked up when he heard the words and happened to see the man's face. As soon as he saw his face, he whispered, "Catch him!"

There was no need for anyone else to take action. Sun Fei and Gao Manting turned into two black shadows, one on the left and one on the right, and one of them wrapped around the man, trapping his mouth, hands and feet.

The other supported the girl.

General Beiyuan was still jumping up and down behind him: "Hey! Let me hit you twice, let me hit you twice!"

No one paid any attention to him.

A moment later, the police arrived and the girl's companions also came.

As soon as the police checked, they found out that the man was a human trafficker and immediately handcuffed him and took him away.

Gu Wang said, "He said he had an accomplice in the car outside, so don't let him get away."

The thin man was shocked. When did he say this? No, it should be... How did he know?

The thin man looked at Gu Wang, then at Sun Fei, Gao Manting, and General Beiyuan... and suddenly found that none of these people had any shadow!

Thinking of Sun Fei's eyes that suddenly turned red, he opened his mouth and wanted to scream... but found that he couldn't make a sound.

He didn't see it because his shadow had his mouth covered.

The old lady in the lantern shadow, who was hiding in the crowd, smiled with her toothless mouth and poked his shadow a few times.

She has the best relationship with Sun Fei. She looks at this girl like her own granddaughter and can't help but feel relieved.

The thin man trembled and fainted.

After waking up, he will find that he has lost some functions.

The police over there also caught the accomplice and took the two away. The girl also woke up and called a middle-aged man among her companions "teacher".

It turned out that the girl was having dinner with her companions in a restaurant. There was no air conditioning in the restaurant. She felt a little heatstroke, so she came out to get some fresh air. As a result, she fainted and was taken away by the human trafficker.

His teacher was so anxious that he called the police, and was relieved only after finding the person.

The teacher kept thanking Gu Wang, and when she looked up, she exclaimed, "Principal Gu?"

Gu Wang was stunned and looked at the person carefully. "I don't seem to know you?"

The teacher couldn't help but laugh, "We haven't had time to get to know each other yet. I'm a professor of archaeology at Kyoto University. My name is He Ming. I came here this time because I want to tell you something."

Gu Wang said seriously, "Please speak."

Professor He Ming said excitedly, "Director Gu, you may not know that a general's tomb was discovered on Beiyuan Mountain in your amusement park! It was just discovered a few days ago! And it's the tomb of a general from the Yuan Dynasty. This is a major discovery in Chinese history! The China Central Television even said they want to film a program about it. This tomb has tremendous symbolic significance; it's proof of the existence of the Yuan Dynasty! You had no idea!"

Gu Wang: “…”

Ah, I might have known it a little earlier than you...

He looked at General Beiyuan and whispered, "You've been living in the amusement park all this time? Didn't you use Yin Qi to seal the entrance to the mausoleum?"

General Beiyuan was bewildered: "I... I forgot..."

Not only did he forget, but he was also so loyal that he sent all the soldiers who followed him to the amusement park, leaving the entire Beiyuan Mountain empty...

The Yin energy seals the entrance to the tomb, which is equivalent to a normal person locking a door. Others cannot enter and ordinary people cannot see it.

Gu Wang looked at him with pity and asked He Ming, "Professor, what will happen to this mausoleum in the future?"

He Ming smiled broadly. "I took my students inside to have a look. The tomb isn't very large, and there aren't many artifacts. Its greatest significance is that it proves the existence of the Yuan Dynasty. I've discussed this with my superiors, and we might open it to the public as a science attraction in the future."

He remembered Gu Wang's identity and quickly added, "Of course, the ticket price is split equally between the Archaeological Association and the amusement park."

Now, everyone looked at General Beiyuan with pity.

General Beiyuan looked at everyone blankly, his small, bean-sized eyes filled with mist...

What kind of unlucky guy is this...

This is like a person who goes out and forgets to lock the door, and when he comes back he finds... your house is charging admission!

Surprised? Unexpected?

The author has something to say:

General Beiyuan: He cried like a 200-pound fat guy!
