Chapter Sixty-Two: The Qingming Uprising



"Friday, Qingming Festival, the Western Hills arrive, ghosts come to pay homage!"

A hollow tone came from the phone, accompanied by a dripping sound like water. The sound seemed to pierce one's brain, making one's breathing quicken.

Sun Zhilan felt like she had been in a daze for a moment. Then, Fang Zong seemed to care less and turned his head to smile, "Brother, shall we go to Xishan Park on Friday?"

"Okay!" For some reason, Sun Gang found that he really wanted to go too.

Rakshasa Hair Salon—a strange name, yet the interior decor was completely at odds with it. Looking at it, one would think it should be called a "Gentle Paradise of Beauties." Old Meng, sipping tea in this "Gentle Paradise," pointed at the clinic across the street and laughed, "See? I told you this kid was valuable! Even India has sent a stunning beauty!"

"Beautiful? How beautiful?" Xue Nuo looked down at her unconvinced. So what if her shoulders were a little prettier and her lower body was a little bigger and perkier? She was still developing. If she was so capable, she could compare with Sister Xiaoran! Suddenly she froze for a moment, and two kitchen knives twitched under her bright yellow tracksuit.

Yes, it really is a kitchen knife, the kind of ordinary knife you use to cut vegetables at the market!

"The old tomb has reappeared. Is this for real this time?" Xue Nuo exclaimed excitedly.

Shancheng is just a third-tier city, there are countless like it in the Eastern Kingdom, why would they need to come and oversee it? It was only because an ancient tomb was discovered that they were temporarily transferred here in case of accidents.

At first, it was just a precaution, but who would have thought that the things in the old tomb were really powerful, moving around right under their noses and not paying any attention to them.

Li Xiaoran adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a deep, dark blue in his eyes. His voice, cold as snow in June, was chilling: "Kill!"

"What are you killing? Can you even get into the old tomb?" Old Meng chuckled strangely.

The old tomb had been discovered by their ghost-slaying team long ago, but the tomb was built very tightly, making it impossible to crawl in. If they were to blow it up, they were afraid that the ghosts inside would leave their lair, and then the sky would be wide open for ghosts to fly, and they would really be unable to find it.

Now that the ghosts have started to move, it's actually a good starting point.

"Friday is Qingming Festival, the ghostly aura will intensify again, the other side will definitely make their move then, this is a bit troublesome!" Too many people have been infected by the ghostly aura, the police and the army generally can't handle it, and their ghost-killing team is short-handed.

Just then, Fang Zong suddenly appeared at the entrance of the store.

Fang Zong, dressed in a black suit and gleaming leather shoes, with a gleaming sword tucked into his waistband, knocked on the glass door: "To be able to open a shop right across from my clinic, you must be quite wealthy." With that, Fang Zong grabbed Sun Zhilan and her brother, slapping them on the forehead.

"Dingdang, the summoner's luck is off the charts! They've drawn Yin energy +1!"

"Double kill! Congratulations to the summoned beast for a lucky streak! It has obtained the Tomb Mechanism Skill Book (White) +1!"

At the sound of Ninth Sister's voice, Sun Zhilan and her brother fell softly to the ground. Yang Tiesheng caught them, carrying one on each shoulder, and headed towards the Domino Tea Restaurant.

Fang Zong waved to Meng Laode and the others, and was about to return to the clinic when he suddenly closed his eyes.

With his eyes closed, all he saw was darkness, but suddenly, Fang Zong seemed to see a dark tomb, ancient in structure, with passageways in all directions, ghostly figures, and gusts of cold wind, terrifying and chilling, making his blood freeze!

...

April 5, 2019.

Qingming Festival!

The weather was gloomy, as if the heavens were crying. A light drizzle fell intermittently, sometimes stopping for a few minutes, but never stopping.

In fact, every year during the Qingming Festival, the yin energy is rampant, ghostly energy grows, and sunlight cannot penetrate the earth's surface. It's just that people have long been used to it, and even the cleverest people who feel something is wrong cannot find any clues.

It's like when a disease is developing, hospitals can't detect it during the accumulation phase, but once it breaks out, it's like a tidal wave!

Fang Zong drank a little bird's nest porridge and then took his people out.

Across the street, Li Xiaoran and Xue Nuo also came out of the hair salon. Xue Nuo stared blankly at Fang Zong.

"Is this...is this brat a monster?" Xue Nuo, dressed in a lively beige trench coat that revealed a bulging physique beneath, gasped in astonishment, "I know he has a method to strengthen his physique, so why does he eat so little? Doesn't he need to replenish his energy?!"

Li Xiaoran was also curious, and the blue light of power attribute flickered in his pupils.

They knew that Fang Zong had a method to strengthen his physique, a method that required a lot of energy, just like Steel Bear in the Ghost Slayer Squad, who could eat a whole trough of food in one meal. But Fang Zong seemed to be quite health-conscious and never ate too much. Could it be that his body could spontaneously generate energy?

The two followed Fang Zong all the way to Xishan Park.

There is a mountain on the western outskirts of Shancheng. The mountain is not large, but there are two lakes nearby. Years ago, the government planned to develop a new park here, but for some reason, the project was stopped halfway through.

Fang Zong saw many people arriving at the entrance of Xishan Park by car, on foot, or on electric bikes and bicycles.

It's unusual that it's Friday morning, not a day off.

What's more, all of these people who came were accompanied by their families, young and old, some even numbering over a dozen. They all got off the bus, numbering about seven or eight hundred, mingling together, their faces expressionless, and walked towards the gate of Xishan Park.

Dozens of fully armed men and women emerged from the surrounding area and blocked the main gate. Someone shouted into a microphone: "Xishan Park is now closed off. Everyone go back! Everyone... go back!"

"We want to go to the park! We want to go to the park! We want to go to the park!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, and the faces of six or seven hundred people turned completely black. Their expressions were no longer numb, but filled with ferocity. Their eyes gleamed green, and they no longer looked like humans, but rather like wild beasts. They pounced on all fours, attacking wildly.

"Stop them! Don't hurt them!" Meng Laode shouted from behind. These are all ordinary people. How can you kill your own country's citizens?

Dozens of men and women put up a strong fight, all of them quite capable, and managed to temporarily suppress the enemy. However, the enemy's strength was increasing, and soon some people were injured.

Xue Nuo also wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Meng Laode. Li Xiaoran, with her ponytail, walked over in high heels.

"Tap tap! Tap tap tap!" Li Xiaoran's footsteps quickened.

Fang Zong saw Li Xiaoran cascade her tied-up black hair down her shoulders like a waterfall, and suddenly her clothes tore open at the back, revealing six more fair and delicate arms. Her arms were very strong and carried an icy chill as she swept through the area single-handedly.

Unfortunately, there were too many people on the other side.
