Suddenly, she remembered the living dead who imprisoned Kui Xu.
"Brother Ghost Messenger, can ghost cultivators come to the human world?"
"Of course, as long as you can avoid the ghost messengers, cross the River of Oblivion, and pass through the forbidden land, and happen to find a suitable body, you can come to the human world."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo became even more certain of her guess.
"Kui Xu was imprisoned in the underground black market before, which was done by a living dead. According to its description, that person was very powerful, but very short of money. Can you find the list of escaped ghost cultivators from the underworld?"
Xiaobai and Xiaohei looked embarrassed.
"Little sister, you really think highly of us. This is top secret; probably only the Ten Kings of Hell are qualified to know it!"
After Xiaobai finished speaking, Qin Luo's tone still carried a hint of disappointment.
"Okay, let's solve the immediate problem first. What's next?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaobai took out the communication jade token.
"Boss, a major discovery! Boss, there are corpses everywhere, resentment is everywhere, and there are magical artifacts underground. Xiao Hei and I can't handle it. Please bring people over quickly! Ahhh!"
After roaring, it calmly turned to look at Qin Luo.
It's as if someone else has just gone mad.
"It's all settled. We'll just wait. With the gong and the Five Emperors' Coins, this resentment won't dissipate. Don't worry."
Qin Luo nodded without speaking, and handed the Wu Hua to him.
He walked over silently and glanced down.
All that could be seen was a bottomless crack, like a scar on the earth.
Yellow sand stretched along the edge of the crack.
But it couldn't conceal the eerie chill emanating from the crack.
Within the cracks, there were even more bones, piled up like mountains.
These bones, some long, some short, some thick, some thin, intertwined, sending a chill down one's spine.
The resentment, like an invisible black mist, slowly rose from the pile of bones.
Like the wails and resentments of countless vengeful spirits, they are sealed within the withered bones, unable to escape.
Day after day, year after year, they endured endless torment in this darkness.
It must be because the rift was opened that those sealed vengeful spirits...
They seemed to grow even more restless; their voices, though faint, were mournful.
Like a distant weeping, or a whisper in the ear.
It makes people uneasy and terrified.
Qin Luo couldn't help but shudder, averted her gaze, and hurriedly ran back to the ghost messenger's side.
The group sat down on the carpet Qin Luo had laid out earlier, and started playing cards while waiting for the others.
Just as the moon was high in the sky, a commotion suddenly broke out in the village.
Qin Luo quickly put away all the luminous pearls that were used for illumination.
Then, together with Wu Hua and the two ghosts, they looked into the village.
Then I saw those lightly wounded robbers, carrying bundles and acting suspiciously.
They were leading a camel and a horse, looking as if they were about to escape.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua both shook their heads; they were truly convinced.
These people are truly daring robbers; they're incredibly audacious.
After suffering so much, you should at least take a couple of days off, if not hide away.
They did just that, and repeatedly challenged the bottom line.
Qin Shi really didn't understand. Besides, he was already injured, so why was he still running?
Wouldn't it be better to stay in the village? At least there's food, drink, and medicine.
Once outside, all around was desert, and even getting a sip of water was difficult.
Even those with all four limbs intact may not be able to walk out, let alone those who are limping.
Before the two could understand what was happening, the robbers had already led the gagged rider away on their horse.
Sneaky, they walked towards the two of them.
They couldn't see the ghost messengers or those magical artifacts at all.
In their eyes, there was nothing but darkness at the entrance to the village.
But in the leader's room, an oil lamp was still lit.
Those two devils must still be inside and haven't come out yet.
They're probably all asleep; kids can't stay up all night.
The group quietly made their way towards the entrance of the village.
The triumphant smile on his face was impossible to hide.
Qin Luo originally intended to go with them, since the crack was temporarily covered by the gong anyway.
They won't fall down if they walk past, so let them go out and fend for themselves.
So I don't have to think about how to deal with them.
But Wu Hua refused; she had already set her sights on those camels and horses.
Why should these bad people take her away? Tengteng seemed to share the same thought.
Before the two could give any command, it darted out.
The firelight on the vines illuminated the surroundings.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua suddenly appeared before everyone.
The robbers were stunned at first, then they scattered in terror.
As if encountering a demon, they disregarded their belongings and mounts.
It felt as if if they didn't run now, their lives would be in danger the next.
Seeing that everyone had run away, Wu Hua didn't even think about chasing after them.
They stored the camels and horses they left behind into their spatial storage.
Qin Luo picked up the package from the ground, opened it, and was surprised by what she saw.
"I'm truly impressed. How can they be so rich? Kid, do you think if we take all of these, they'll still have more?"
Wu Hua wasn't sure either; they had handed it over once themselves.
Dudu went to loot again, and this time he delivered himself right to their doorstep.
It's really hard to say, whether it exists or not.
"Luo Luo, let's search again after we're done. I have a feeling they hide things in more places than rabbit holes..."
Qin Luo immediately nodded in agreement; she felt the same way.
The two then collected all the packages on the ground into their spatial storage.
He instructed Pineapple to pack everything away and drive the camels and horses to the cattle pen.
The little pineapple has taken on a big task.
Immediately, they started hopping and skipping around busily.
The two returned to the blanket and continued questioning the two ghosts.
"Hey guys, is your boss coming or not? It's already midnight."
Xiao Bai felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and made sure that its boss had received the message and location.
As for when the ghost will actually arrive, it's not quite sure.
"Perhaps it's been held back by matters of the ghost realm, it should be soon!"
Little did it know, its leader was shamelessly begging its own leader.
"Boss, can you lend me that magic artifact? I can't suppress those evil spirits without it."
"Little Xie, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our Underworld Department is only responsible for supervision. You have to go to the Judges' Office to get the ritual implements. They are in charge of rewarding good and punishing evil, and they have plenty of ritual implements for exorcising ghosts."
“I’m not going. Last time when Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai discovered the evil, I begged for most of the night, but that judge was so stingy that he would rather make the trip himself than lend me his pen.”
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Underworld raised his hand and tapped it on the head.
"Are you out of your mind? How dare you talk to the judge like that? He's not being stingy, he's doing it for your own good. Do you think extreme evil is so easy to deal with? If it hadn't intervened, you and your two underlings would all be dead."
Xiao Xie never expected that the judge wouldn't lend her the pen for this reason.
I always thought it was just stingy.
"Boss, I don't care, you have to help me this time. I don't want anything else, just lend me that Soul-Subduing Flag. They're all evil spirits, I'll give them back to you after I break them up."
The Lord of the Underworld still refused outright.
"Don't be so hasty. I just checked, and those souls became evil spirits because they were harmed by someone. They didn't do anything evil. If we scatter them, we might incur karmic debts..."
