Chapter 275 Jinjiang (1)
"Bang!"
When the last human model was smashed to the ground, Taoist Song Yi's robe was already soaked with blood.
The originally bright and empty pharmaceutical factory was now in a mess, with broken glass and debris all over the floor, as well as traces left behind by people's hasty escape.
The hall was very quiet, with only the occasional delayed sound of metal breaking being heard.
People hid in the corners and behind the wall pillars, trembling, covering their mouths and not daring to make a single extra sound. With tears of fright in their eyes, they looked at the Taoist priest in the hall cautiously.
Taoist Master Song took a deep breath, held his waist for a long time, then slowly stood up with the help of the peach wood sword and looked towards where everyone was hiding.
"No one is hurt, right?" Taoist Song Yi noticed that some people were crying uncontrollably, and couldn't help but frowned and asked seriously.
He stood among the broken human models, blood gushing out from the wounds and dripping down the peach wood sword in his hand, gathering into a small pool of blood on the ground beside him.
It was not until this moment that everyone's frightened brains slowed down for a beat after seeing this scene, and then they realized that they seemed to have been saved.
The people who had been holding on with great difficulty were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. After losing the support of the sense of crisis, they immediately fell limply to the side, leaning against the wall to barely keep themselves from being too embarrassed to stand up.
Everyone cried and held their heads, and the cries of the survivors were heard everywhere.
When Taoist Master Song Yi saw that those who remained in the pharmaceutical factory were not injured, he finally felt relieved.
After he left the warehouse where the kidnapping took place, he soon realized that the entire industrial park was in crisis because of the woman who was being chased by the mannequin.
When Taoist Master Song Yi arrived at the pharmaceutical factory building, the place had already turned into a horrifying scene.
Whether it was the stone and bronze sculptures placed in the park or the human body models that could be seen everywhere in the building, these things that should not have the concept of life and death, all began to move.
Before the employees realized what was happening, they found that the human statues began to move like real people.
They were stunned.
Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, but still felt that the scene in front of them was unreal and illusory. They were stunned for a long time before muttering that they were going to die suddenly from staying up too late, and how could they have such an illusion.
But before everyone could figure out what was going on, these human-shaped statues launched an indiscriminate attack on everyone.
Everyone screamed and fled in all directions, but the human-shaped statue was elusive, hiding in every corner and easily overlooked corner. It suddenly appeared when everyone was least prepared and stretched out its hand bones to strangers, as if it was craving for the flesh and blood of strangers, wanting to use it to fill its empty body.
Some people tried to resist and picked up the tables, chairs and benches around them and threw them at the human-shaped statue.
However, apart from having a similar appearance and structure to humans, these statues are not as fragile as flesh and blood. They do not feel pain, and even if their limbs are broken, they can still climb on the ground and pounce on the crowd.
The ineffective resistance gradually made everyone despair, and finally they threw away their weapons and fled in panic.
This was the horrific scene that Taoist Song Yi saw when he rushed into the pharmaceutical factory.
After seeing those humanoid figures clearly, his first reaction was—
broken.
Taoist Song Yi originally thought that this was a bone-replacing technique. Even though he heard the news from Baizhi Lake and other places over the phone, seeing it with one's own eyes and hearing it from others had different effects.
It was not until he saw with his own eyes that most of those human-shaped creatures were products of an assembly line that Taoist Master Song Yi realized how critical the current situation was.
If it is a traditional bone-replacing technique, at least the area that needs to be guarded will be smaller, and you only need to pay attention to the wood carvings or human-shaped objects made by craftsmen.
Because trees resemble humans, they can naturally serve as a home for ghosts. The craftsmen’s works are also imbued with human vitality and therefore have similar attributes to humans.
But once this range spreads out infinitely...
This means that all ghost exorcists will be trapped in the ocean.
The number of products produced on the assembly line and the number of items carefully made by craftsmen are by no means on the same order of magnitude!
After all, the plastic models in the warehouse had experienced the kidnapping case that year. Even if they showed abnormalities, Taoist Song Yi only believed that these were the remnants of foul air from many years ago, preserved in the bodies of the plastic models.
But it's not the case anywhere else except there.
And the most important thing is——
The existence that manipulates all of this behind the scenes can even break through the limitations of the bone-replacing technique, allowing things that have no possibility of reviving to gain the power to come alive and act like real people.
Just imagining that thing made Taoist Song Yi gasp, knowing that this was definitely not something that could be easily dealt with.
Being able to do this... the power that thing possesses is simply terrifying, even like heaven and earth, and can control life at will.
No wonder, when his master woke up from a long period of meditation, he warned everyone that the ghost world was about to be reborn.
At this point, Taoist Song was several steps behind Taoist Li and finally understood what was going on.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his previous guess might be correct.
Everything that happened was probably closely related to Xie Lin and his sister.
The birth of Gui Dao... Could it be that Xie Lin's sister died in the kidnapping case that year, and she became a fierce ghost out of resentment, and thus gave birth to Gui Dao?
As soon as this thought came up, Taoist Song Yi felt that something was wrong and rejected this possibility.
Although he sympathized with the plight of Xie Lin and his sister, at his age and position, he had already handled enough death cases personally.
To put it cruelly but truthfully, although the Xie Lin siblings lived a miserable life, the kidnapping case of that year alone was not enough to give birth to a ghost that was so powerful.
Unless there is a massive amount of death that nourishes the evil spirit, allowing it to grow by leaps and bounds from quantity to quality, it is possible for such a being to be born from the abyss of hatred and evil spirit.
But, after the kidnapping case that year, I didn’t hear about anyone dying nearby?
Only the kidnappers back then died tragically... What happened?
He couldn't figure it out.
When Taoist Song Yi leaped into the hall of the pharmaceutical factory, he just rescued a man from a bronze statue. He asked the man about the number of human-shaped creatures in the pharmaceutical factory.
Before the man could say thank you, he heard Taoist Song's question and looked at him in surprise. He said that this was a pharmaceutical factory and the last thing they lacked was those things, whether it was Chinese medicine acupuncture figures or Western medicine mannequins, as well as models used for daily experiments and practice, and...
Some of the donated bodies are kept in the laboratory.
As the man was talking, he suddenly realized something, swallowed hard, looked at Taoist Song Yi with trembling eyes, and begged Taoist Song Yi in a tearful voice to tell him that he was overthinking it, and that the resurrection of the dead would never happen... right?
There was no need for Master Song to answer. The screams that came one after another around him had already given the man the answer.
Taoist Song Yi immediately left the man behind and rushed inside, only having time to remind the man to be careful of any humanoid creatures.
——Except for the living person himself, all humanoid objects have become a threat to the living person.
They want to use the flesh and blood of living people to fill their empty bodies, so as to create the illusion that they are human.
Just like those plastic mannequins in the warehouse, filled with the corpses of wild cats and dogs, occasionally mixed with the flesh and blood of unknown humans.
A similar scene is now being replayed throughout the park.
Taoist Song Yi still had wounds from before, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He chanted some incantations and swept the peach wood sword in his hand, chopping all the humanoid creatures that were about to kill the pharmaceutical factory employees into pieces.
His brain was working rapidly, and suddenly he felt that the things that he had been unable to understand before were slowly clearing up, allowing him to glimpse a glimpse of the truth.
The art of bone replacement... The original intention was to use a wooden sculpture instead of a corpse, so that the deceased could be reborn in the underworld intact.
But now, Yan Shixun and his team encountered the bone-replacing technique at the Baizhi Lake filming location, but it was obviously not used for the original purpose for which it was first invented.
In addition, Taoist Priest Ma and Taoist Priest Wang also disappeared there...
The bone-replacement technique does not replace bones.
It’s a person’s identity.
Taoist Master Song Yi paused, his eyes filled with surprise.
It was clearly his own guess, but it still shocked him and caused a storm in his heart.
——The evil spirit behind this doesn’t just want to kill people.
Instead, they wanted to use these human-shaped creatures, fill them with the flesh and blood of living people, and even imprison their souls, in order to deceive the heaven and earth, and use human-shaped creatures to replace living people, living in another place that living people have never touched.
Reversed identities.
Therefore, the ghost path was born.
Taoist Song Yi had never thought that things would be so serious. When he figured it all out, he felt as if his heart was soaked in mint water, with cool air coming out of every pore.
He wanted to tell Haiyun Temple about this immediately, but he was trapped in a vast ocean of humanoid creatures surrounding the entire park. He was unable to split himself into two for a moment. He could only try his best to protect all the employees while trying to support his increasingly injured body and not fall down.
The people from the special department have not arrived yet, and he is the only one here now. He cannot fall down, nor can he die.
Even if I die, I will not do that until I see with my own eyes that everyone is safe.
Taoist Master Song had a deep and determined look in his eyes.
The only thing he was thankful for at this moment was that it was late at night, and except for a small number of employees on duty in the industrial park, most people were not here.
This also means that there are fewer people who need his protection.
Otherwise, Taoist Song Yi would really like to blow a strand of his hair and create a hundred and eight selves.
A strong sense of belief supported Taoist Song Yi, allowing him to force himself to surpass the limit of his body's endurance. He gritted his teeth and chopped the last humanoid creature into pieces under the peach wood sword, and finally he was able to catch his breath.
But he did not let himself rest for too long. Instead, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Taoist Li.
Because Taoist Li has fallen into a state of meditation more and more frequently in recent years, he has not left Binhai City too far to handle matters elsewhere for several years.
His activities are generally within Binhai City.
Only the program that Yan Shixun participated in allowed him to make an exception. He was concerned about his most beloved junior brother and his only disciple, and he also felt that the evil spirit entering his bones was a sign of life. Therefore, in the past six months, Taoist Li had participated in events related to the program several times in succession.
The Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple were all very worried about Taoist Priest Li.
It's not that we want to restrict Master Li's activities or that we don't trust his abilities.
It is because when the Taoist enters into a state of meditation, he will fall into a state of suspended animation. To those who do not understand, it seems that this person is dead.
Perhaps they had good intentions and did not want the Taoists to be exposed to the world and die without even a shroud, so they often buried the Taoists with respect.
But the problem is——
The Taoist priest was not dead, he just stayed in meditation for too long.
A hundred years ago, there was a master in Haiyun Temple who did not die on the battlefield. However, on the way back to the temple, he suddenly had an epiphany, so he sat on the ground and entered into a state of meditation. However, he was buried as if he were dead, which eventually led to his death.
As his understanding of the world deepened, Taoist Li's time in meditation became longer and longer.
Therefore, the Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple were very worried about Taoist Priest Li, fearing that something might happen to him while he was in meditation outside, or that he might be misunderstood and do something bad with good intentions.
This trip to Baizhi Lake was the first time Taoist Li left Binhai City after many years.
When Taoist Priest Li and his group received the call from Taoist Priest Song Yi, they had just got off the highway and saw the Shadow Puppet Museum not far away.
In the darkness of the night, only the rough outline of the abandoned courtyard could be barely seen.
But there was a human figure in it, shadowy and erratic, not like an ordinary person, looming like a ghost.
As soon as the Taoist priests got off the car, they saw a little girl standing under the archway in the distance.
The child was holding something that looked like a doll in her hands and was wearing a beautiful dress, but her face and eyes were cold.
A Taoist priest accidentally made eye contact with the little girl and suddenly felt the temperature around him drop, and he shivered with cold.
There was no expression on the girl's pretty and tender face. She looked straight at everyone with a cold gaze, and tears of blood silently fell from her eyes.
The Taoist priest was so shocked that his heartbeat fluctuated up and down.
When he calmed down and looked again, the little girl was no longer under the archway.
The Taoist priest subconsciously took a step forward, and then remembered that an entire program crew, including two Taoist priests, had disappeared here before, and this was definitely not a good place.
He immediately became alert, turned around and asked the Taoist priest next to him in a low voice whether he had seen the little girl under the archway just now.
He was sure that it was not his eyes that were dazzled.
Unlike most ordinary people who do not believe in ghosts and gods and have never encountered a ghost in their lifetime, the Taoist priest has experienced evil ghosts besieging the city and witnessed the Yin Road involving the entire Binhai City.
He had personally dealt with a huge number of ghosts that were unimaginable to ordinary people, and knew that outside of science, there was a world of old science that obeyed the operation of yin and yang.
Ghosts and evil spirits are real.
They hide in the corners of our eyes, in the blind spots of our vision, behind us, and in the ignored corners.
Every time the brain thinks it is an illusion, it may be a reminder from heaven and earth.
The Taoist priest firmly believed in this and avoided death and crisis many times because of this theory.
He subconsciously felt that the little girl who had only appeared for a moment had given him an unusual sense of danger.
The Taoist priest next to him also confirmed his feeling.
"That little girl..."
The Taoist priest next to him looked more serious: "I think I've seen this somewhere."
Hearing what the Taoist priest said, everyone else was shocked and asked questions immediately.
The Taoist thought hard for a long time, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Xie Lin!"
Others were surprised when they heard this: "Isn't Xie Lin a man?"
"It was clearly a little girl just now...Are you mocking me for not paying attention to the entertainment industry?"
"no."
The Taoist priest said anxiously, "It's about the kidnapping of Xie Lin's sister. Before I came here, I heard from Daoist Song that he was at the place where Xie Lin's sister was kidnapped. So I asked the special department for the files on the way and read what happened back then."
"There are also photos of Xie Lin's sister."
The more he talked, the more the Taoist priest felt that the two were similar: "That little girl might really be Xie Lin's sister!"
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, and standing there in a daze.
Taoist Priest Li stood beside the car, his brows gradually furrowed because of what Taoist Priest Song Yi said on the phone.
He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You mean... a new ghost appeared and created a new world, so a new avenue was created?"
Although what Taoist Song Yi said seemed normal and there was nothing wrong with it, there was a most critical problem.
——The power that can support an entire world is extraordinary.
That is a level that ordinary people dare not even imagine, and no one can even accurately estimate the scope of that power.
Just as the development of scientific theories also requires hardware support.
If there isn’t even a power plant that can supply enough electricity, how can we talk about the series of things that follow?
Taoist Song Yi was silent for a moment before continuing, "Master, since the result of your divination is that a ghost will be born, then if the one who created that world was Xie Lin or his sister, and is a ghost, then doesn't that mean..."
"Ghost Way."
The ghost path is already eroding the real world and its scope is no longer limited to the southwest.
Both the ghost exorcist circle and the special departments were extremely busy and overwhelmed tonight.
Many people woke up in the middle of the night, and their cries pierced the tranquility of the early morning, echoing between buildings, making people shudder with fear.
Some people heard the screams coming from the community and wanted to join in the fun out of curiosity, but the moment they turned on the lights in their own rooms, they became the new hunting targets of evil spirits.
Screams came one after another, and people shouted for help.
The smell of blood spread in the corridors and the community.
In the early morning, on a street that should have been deserted, under the dim light of the street lights, a man was staggering and running away with a look of panic on his face, but he did not notice the plastic models around him, turning their heads 360 degrees as he ran.
The official hotlines and those of major Taoist temples have been flooded with calls from citizens.
Cries for help can be heard everywhere.
There were also people who hugged their injured relatives or loved ones, crying until they almost fainted, and begging passers-by to help them.
Some kind-hearted people rushed over to help, but they didn't expect that their opponent was not even a human being.
It is a humanoid statue that has been possessed by an evil spirit.
It is not afraid of pain and does not know death. Even if it is broken into pieces, it can still launch an attack.
Ghost exorcists travel through the streets and alleys, rescuing people whose lives are threatened by ghosts from their homes.
On social platforms, you can see people posting messages asking for help everywhere.
The authorities have urgently set up a help zone so that people in need can describe what they have encountered and leave their address and contact information, which will then be transferred to the ghost exorcists on the front line for rescue.
The head of the public opinion group had a hoarse voice and could hardly speak, his throat was so dry that it was smoking, but he was so busy carrying a cup of water around that he had no time to take a sip. He had been in contact with the heads of various platforms, and had been giving the people in other departments the explanations that had already been discussed internally over and over again without getting tired of it.
With Binhai City and Southwest China as the two centers, similar incidents spread to the surrounding areas and repeated themselves.
Messages were also released on social platforms, urgently reminding everyone to throw out any human-shaped statues in their homes, make sure the doors and windows are closed, and not leave the house under any circumstances.
When there is a serious shortage of staff, special departments rack their brains to come up with statements that ordinary people can accept so that they can save themselves and protect themselves as much as possible.
Because the official person in charge was out of contact, the information could not be transmitted to him in real time for a while, and he was responsible for making decisions and coordinating the situation.
Fortunately, with the Nanming Mountain incident as an example, the official responsible person also added an extra layer of protection measures.
In order to prevent the entire department from running slowly if something happened to him, the official head solemnly informed the personnel who stayed in Binhai City when he went to Baizhi Lake that if he lost contact, all matters would be transferred to Haiyun Temple and the team leaders who stayed behind, and the Haiyun Temple abbot would make the judgment.
While the personnel of the special department were worried about the safety of the official person in charge, they also reported everything to the Haiyun Temple Supervisor.
It was then passed to Taoist Li.
After hearing such a detailed account of the situation, Taoist Master Song Yi could not help but remain silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Master, the original source lies with Xie Lin's brother and sister. It is very likely that one of the sisters died in the kidnapping and turned into a ghost, which led to everything now."
"But I don't understand how a fierce ghost can affect such a large area? And the ghost way..."
Taoist Master Song Yi's already serious face became even more serious, and the "川"-shaped wrinkles formed between his brows made him look extremely terrifying.
While Taoist Priest Li was listening to Taoist Priest Song Yi speaking, he also heard what the Taoist priest next to him said.
He immediately turned around and asked, "What did you just say? Did you see Xie Lin's sister?"
The Taoist priest next to him bowed respectfully and replied, "It's for sure. I have indeed seen that face before. Judging from what happened just now, what Taoist priest Song said should be correct. Xie Lin's sister has died and turned into a ghost."
"But the only thing I can't figure out is why Xie Lin's missing sister would appear in Baizhi Lake and in the Shadow Puppet Museum?"
The Taoist priest wondered, "Could it be that his sister knew he was here, so she came to look for him?"
"What do you say about the Shadow Puppet Museum?"
Others immediately refuted his loophole: "Master Ma and Master Wang both disappeared here. Before that, Fellow Daoist Yan and the program crew also disappeared here, and the same thing happened to the rescue team that followed. This place is simply a black hole, and there is no return once you go in."
"Since Xie Lin's sister appeared in the Shadow Puppet Museum, she is likely related to the shadow puppets and the White Paper Lake..."
Taoist Priest Li listened quietly to the Taoist priests arguing around him. As he listened, he suddenly thought of something and immediately looked up at the Shadow Puppet Museum with his eyes wide open in surprise.
Shadow puppetry was also called ghost play in ancient times.
Although the official record of the shadow play here does not mention any connection with sacrifices or ghosts and gods, it only says that the Southwest shadow play is a manifestation of local customs and practices, but the local customs and practices of the Southwest...
The southwest has been the location of the legendary Fengdu since ancient times.
If the evil ghost had used shadow puppetry to reconstruct the world through ghost plays and borrowed the power of Fengdu, then all their speculations that had hit a dead end so far would instantly make sense.
——Xie Lin’s sister turned into a fierce ghost and established a ghost show based on the power of Fengdu, forming her own school. She also gave birth to the Great Dao in the ghost show, which replaced the heaven and the earth.
At that moment, Taoist Li felt that all the sounds in his ears were gradually fading away from him.
Whether it was the arguments of the Taoist priests around him, the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the valley, or the voice of his disciple Song Yi on the phone...all disappeared.
Only the world itself remains.
He could feel that he was standing under the endless sky, and the Tao was with him, allowing him to see clearly everything that was happening before his eyes.
The avenue that had been closed and refused to open to Taoist Li finally recognized the avenue he had been upholding at this moment and opened a gap for him, allowing him to see the future in the eyes of the avenue.
And what kind of crisis led to such a future?
——Evil spirits are rampant.
That place is not the human world, but hell.
Wherever Taoist Li saw, there was blood and bones.
The living cried out for help, and the exorcists risked their lives, but they were only powerless to fill the huge void, without filling the time of death.
The evil ghosts who were chasing people all over the street were laughing grimly, but no one could stop them.
Heaven and earth do not respond, the great way is silent, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth are reversed.
Humans are no longer the most intelligent creatures.
It's ghosts.
The exorcist's power comes from borrowing strength from the gods of the four directions, following the laws of nature and moving the sun and the moon.
But what if the yin and yang are reversed? The right becomes the wrong, and the wrong takes the absolute position.
So what is left for the exorcist to do?
It's just a waste of time.
It was a dead end with no hope of survival. All means of self-rescue were ineffective. No miracles could happen between heaven and earth. The great way was completely replaced by the way of ghosts, and heaven and earth switched places.
Taoist Priest Li could feel that he was like a cloud floating in the sky, looking down at everything that was happening below.
He wanted to do something, but in the end he could only watch it all happen helplessly.
This is... the evil hell where all hope is lost.
"Master? Grandmaster?"
The concerned voice calling from the side brought Taoist Li back to his senses.
He calmed himself down, and the mysterious road in front of him disappeared. The hell of blood and fire turned into a forest shrouded in darkness again.
Everything he saw had not happened yet, and there was still a chance to make amends.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Taoist Li's forehead.
The Taoist priest next to him looked at Taoist Li with concern, knowing that he was almost falling into meditation again.
Although such frequent entering into meditation is proof of the Taoist's enlightenment, it also proves that something disastrous is about to happen, which is definitely not a good thing.
The Taoist priests looked at each other and sighed silently.
"Master Li, let me go explore the Shadow Puppet Museum first."
The Taoist priest said, looking at the people around him, "The official person in charge lost contact nearby. They left a car here as a backup, so it must be nearby. Divination must be invalid now, so I'll trouble you fellow Taoists to go look for it yourself."
Everyone nodded, took the mission and dispersed immediately. They left a Taoist priest beside Taoist Li out of concern, fearing that Taoist Li would enter into a state of meditation again. Entering into a state of meditation in such a dangerous place was like sending meat into a wolf's mouth.
Taoist Priest Li watched everyone's actions but did not react.
This time of entering into a state of meditation suddenly made him understand why he woke up so accurately from the state of meditation that ended not long ago.
——The Tao is guiding them here.
For a talent like Taoist Priest Li, what Dao did was just like a teacher who not only gave Zhang an open test paper but also placed the reference answers next to him, and anxiously told him that this was where the problem lay and he had to solve the problem here, otherwise there would be big problems.
Taoist Priest Li was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Even though everyone said he was extremely talented, he knew very well that his youngest junior brother was the truly brilliant one.
He has only found Baizhi Lake now, but his junior fellow apprentice...had he already glimpsed the avenue and found this place many years ago?
He even died a martyr's death here.
And now, his junior brother's only disciple, who was also the only one recorded to have successfully survived the evil ghost, had arrived here before him.
All of this is arranged by the Tao in the dark.
The invisible hand is silently guiding all people and things here, warning them of the dangers here.
But as other Taoist priests said, this place is like a big hole that can never be filled. Everyone who came here never returned and all died here.
What about this time? Can Yan Shixun, the only evil spirit with a deep-rooted appearance, really solve all this and restore order?
Taoist Priest Li's heart sank heavily.
…
Yan Shixun didn't expect that he just passed by Zheng Shumu's house, and when he came back, Zhang Wubing had a problem.
But what shocked him the most was... when this person, who looked exactly like Zhang Wubing in daily life but had a completely different temperament, stood in front of him and said that he was Zhang Wubing, his first instinct was that the other party was not lying to him.
The person in front of him was undoubtedly Zhang Wubing himself.
But how is that possible!
Yan Shixun looked at Zhang Wubing, and his sharp brows gradually frowned.
He had known Zhang Wubing since his freshman year. Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to this third-generation rich man who seemed like a soft-hearted person with no temper and could smile foolishly at anyone. But because Li Chengyun urged him to make more friends, he reluctantly endured it and let this silly third-generation rich man run around in front of him without kicking the fool away.
Yan Shixun remembered very clearly that as long as Zhang Wubing wanted, he was a person who could quickly build good relationships with anyone.
After all, smart people like fools. There is no trouble in getting along with fools, and there is no need to worry about fools plotting against you.
Coupled with Zhang Wubing's face that makes people feel no dislike for him, and his soft and righteous character, no one would really hate Zhang Wubing.
But the Zhang Wubing in front of him was completely different from the little fool that Yan Shixun had in mind.
He lost his friendliness and the smile on his face, and his eyes were cold and emotionless, as if the whole world before him had no distinction between life and death, and there was nothing that could scare him.
When Zhang Wubing stopped smiling, his handsome features seemed to keep people at a distance, and the powerful aura around him made people dare not take even a step forward.
It seemed as if even looking at him was an offense to him.
Yan Shixun frowned, feeling that this posture gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
...Who?
Thinking of this, Yan Shixun slowly turned his head and looked at Ye Li beside him in surprise.
Ye Li was originally looking at Zhang Wubing with a calm gaze, and his mood was definitely not a good one.
The moment he saw Zhang Wubing's attitude, Ye Li even felt a rare sense of regret.
——If I had known that the guy who stuck to Shi Xun every day was this guy, I should have found a way to drive him away when we were still in the small courtyard in Binhai City.
Or just let this guy be reborn under the pretext of food tasting.
But thanks to this, Ye Li finally understood why he disliked Zhang Wubing so much before.
No matter who this guy is, he is particularly annoying to ghosts and gods.
First, it had been in opposition to him for thousands of years, and even after its death, it refused to completely stop and continued to haunt his beloved exorcist.
Even at that moment, Ye Li made the worst guess about his appearance here based on his previous understanding of this guy.
Could it be that... this guy was reincarnated to be next to Shi Xun on purpose?
Ye Li looked at Zhang Wubing with suspicion, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
Speaking of understanding this guy, I am afraid that now that the Great Dao is about to fall and all other ghosts and gods have died, no one knows this guy better than Ye Li.
——That was the guy who, even though he was dead and his throne was shattered, still turned around and betrayed the Great Dao.
Even though Ye Li and he had been at odds for thousands of years, when he learned of his death, Ye Li stepped down from the altar and entered the cycle of yin and yang, trying to find his soul.
It can also be regarded as a tribute to the old enemy.
Ye Li didn't want that guy's soul to dissipate between heaven and earth after his death, completely merge with the Great Dao, and no one would remember his existence from then on.
But Ye Li didn't expect that this guy was even crazier than he thought.
The old enemy who had fought with Ye Li for a thousand years forcibly separated his power from his soul and divine name, and left it at the boundary between Yin and Yang, continuing to guard Yin and Yang on his behalf.
The Dao's plan to take the power from him to support the heaven and earth failed.
Even though the Great Dao soon discovered something was wrong and immediately pursued him, he was like a cunning fox, separating his divine name from his soul, and then hiding his soul among the ghosts.
Hide the trees in the forest.
The best cover-up.
It's so strange that Dadao hasn't found him yet.
Even Yeli was not found.
It was not until now that Ye Li suddenly realized that the guy's soul had been right under his nose.
He holds his beloved Ghostbusters openly every day!
Shi Xun looked like he had already gotten used to it!
If Zhang Wubing was really a fool, Ye Li would have tolerated it. But he only now discovered that underneath Zhang Wubing's human skin, there were still calculations and counterattacks from a hundred years ago.
That cunning soul hid itself next to the evil ghost.
Whether it was Dadao or Yeli, people's eyes passed by him countless times, but they all passed by without seeing him.
It's dark under the lamp.
Thinking of this, Ye Li forced himself to laugh in anger.
"Zhang, no, illness?"
Ye Li emphasized the syllables of the other person's name, his voice was cold and low, making all the guests shiver uncontrollably.
Zhang Wubing seemed to have received unparalleled praise. He then turned his gaze back to Ye Li who was standing next to Yan Shixun.
He put the folding fan in his hand against his lips and raised his long eyebrows slightly, as if he was amused by Ye Li's angry look.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Zhang Wubing said with a smile: "The Lord of Fengdu."
When these words were spoken, the guests were stunned.
