Marha's mood darkened, and he said, "Brother Zong, let me think about it."
Fang Zong looked at Malha, sized him up, and nodded, saying, "Don't say it's just a matter of consideration. Even if you consider it for a lifetime, I'll give you time. I pity you for choosing to give up everything to be with Pink Girl. I know you have no other attachments in this world, and I also envy you for having someone you're willing to give your life for."
Marha bowed his head: "Thank you, Brother Zong."
Fang Zong smiled slightly: "But you must remember, once you make a choice, it's your own path, and you'll bear all the consequences. You might win the gamble and happiness will turn into a ghost, but you might also lose, and you can't afford the price of losing. Think about it, if you disappeared, what would the Third Princess do? If you became a ghost, would Pink Woman decisively kill you, or would she fight against the whole world for your sake?"
Marha remained silent.
Fang Zong asked a question that was easy to answer, because he knew very well that the pink-clad woman had become a ghost for him.
If he were to become a ghost, Pink Girl would definitely turn against the whole world.
He's deeply in love with her, but what can he possibly gamble with?
“Brother Zong, I understand,” Malha said softly.
Fang Zong patted Malha on the shoulder: "Now that you understand, go and treat your wounds yourself, and remember the pain you felt this time."
After saying that, Fang Zong went directly into the next room.
In the dim light, Malha's eyes flickered between light and shadow.
At dawn, the sun tears through the darkness.
Fang Zong opened his eyes, and the true yang energy in his body surged like fire, instantly awakening millions of cells in his body.
Full of energy, I suddenly felt refreshed and opened my mouth to exhale the stale air that had accumulated during my night's sleep.
A low, sharp whistling sound reached his ears. Fang Zong suddenly laughed, reached into his coat, and took out the Yin Cunmu.
A whooshing sound came from the Yincun wood. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the black wood surface was covered with many patterns, all of which were various shikigami.
Yasuo turned into a ghost and escaped. Fang Zong was disappointed, but didn't think it was a big deal.
He didn't like raising ghosts, but raising Yasuo, a very bloodthirsty spirit, on enemy territory gave him a rather strange feeling.
Therefore, compared to Yasuo, it was actually Kitachi no Kami's 138 shikigami that gave him a headache.
Ninth Sister also yawned and came out, saying, "There are some minor demons among these shikigami. If you can refine their malevolent energy, it should give you a few more Saint Demon Coins."
Fang Zong asked, "How many more Saint Demon Coins do I need to advance my rank?"
Ninth Sister replied, "Eighteen."
Fang Zong decisively said, "Then let's destroy them. I'd rather go back to my homeland to do good deeds and earn Holy Demon Coins."
Why?
"It's so noisy it's giving me a headache."
As soon as he finished speaking, true fire burst forth in Fang Zong's palm, a pure blue flame.
Under Fang Zong's manipulation, the pure blue flames gradually bloomed, like a blue lotus with blurred edges, enveloping the Yin Cunmu lotus seedpod.
The howling intensified instantly, and more than a hundred shikigami roared and cursed wildly.
One minute later, Yin Cunmu returned to its pure black color.
Just as Fang Zong was about to put Yin Cunmu into his coat, a deep, muffled growl came from inside: "Though you have entered the Yellow Springs, your military spirit will never perish! Who... are you?"
"Eastern Kingdom Fang Zong".
"Eastern Kingdom?"
The other party paused for a moment, then smiled with seemingly complex emotions, saying, "Good, Dongguo, very good!"
It said in a deep voice, "I have just regained consciousness and I don't know how many years have passed. You are from the East, very well, you are from the East... But why do I have such strong killing intent towards you? That is not good."
Fang Zong sensed it for a moment and said, "You are a ghost, and the nature of ghosts is to kill."
"A ghost? You mean I'm dead? Then you're a Taoist priest, here to exorcise demons and kill me again?"
The other party's emotions became more complicated, and a ghostly aura was released, causing the Yin Cunmu to tremble slightly.
This surprised Fang Zong. It seemed that after this shikigami regained consciousness, its strength had increased dramatically and was approaching the level of a jutsu.
He focused his gaze into the depths of the Yin Cunmu tree and discovered that the other party was just a skeleton with bite marks on it, making it impossible to discern its identity.
"No need to look, my name is Hu De."
Hu De seemed to be laughing, his skeletal teeth clicking: "After I died, my body was desecrated, leaving only this skeleton. You don't need to guess my identity, just kill me, but before you kill me, please tell me one thing."
"What is it?"
"Has the main force safely withdrawn from the Leopard Mountain incident?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Zong began to think.
Leopard Mountain? There's still a large force there?
I remember a text from elementary school that told the story of a squad of veteran soldiers from Leopard Mountain who covered the rear of the main force. When they ran out of bullets, they used stones to throw at the enemy. Even when they were out of ammunition and food, they refused to be captured and jumped off a cliff. Their heroic spirit lives on forever!
Even today, Fang Zong still remembers the surge of passion he felt when reading the text aloud!
[Leopard Mountain! Five Heroes! Hood!]
Fang Zong gasped and whispered, "Two seniors are hanging on the tree branches, but they are not dead."
Hu De laughed twice: "Good! That's good!"
Fang Zong was starting to believe the other party's identity.
But since confirmation was still needed, they dared not release the ghost.
He stood up, bowed to Yin Cunmu, then went straight out and knocked on Malha's door.
Malha hadn't slept all night, and as soon as he came out, he said, "Brother Zong, I've decided to go back to find her!"
Fang Zong shrugged.
Malha laughed excitedly, feeling completely relieved after making the decision.
He wanted to go back to find Pink Girl. Even if being with Pink Girl would cause the ghostly energy to erode his body and make him die quickly, he still wanted to be with Pink Girl!
Live as long as you can, every year will be a year; live as long as you can, every few days will be a few days!
Being together is the best thing ever!
Fang Zong nodded: "Alright, you can take the flight back. I need to go back too."
Marha asked in surprise, "What are you going back for?"
Fang Zong smiled meaningfully: "The whole of Japan is looking for me. I might as well go back and take care of some things. I'll swim back when I get bored."
"you mean……"
"Let them search!"
Fang Zong laughed heartily.
Malha can fly back, but Fang Zong cannot.
Why not find a place to go into the sea and swim underwater, about one meter below the surface?
Soon we reached the southern part of Japan, next to South Korea. Turning south, we could see the sea area of Donggoku, with the closest province being Yamanoto.
Fang Zong continued on his way, also looking for a boat, hoping to save some energy.
But instead of finding a boat, he saw a whole group of ghosts walking on water from the direction of Japan, heading straight for him.
From the direction of the Eastern Kingdom, a ghostly creature also strode towards us!
At this moment, the sun shines brightly on the sea, but both ghostly entities are accompanied by howling ghostly winds and dark mist forming clouds.
Fang Zong focused his gaze and looked twice, but because of the distance, he couldn't make out the features clearly.
I just feel—
He seemed to be caught in a pincer movement.
