They were the last to leave, having fulfilled their duty to guard and protect.
But this time they were not protecting the emperor, but the ordinary people who were suffering around them.
The heavy rain suddenly stopped, and Zhang Fan slowly returned to the tent. When he turned around and looked, the whole canyon became quiet and peaceful after the rain stopped. The ghosts that had covered the entire canyon before slowly disappeared one by one in front of the small hole of the underworld.
Sighs of relief echoed in the canyon one after another, lasting for a long time, giving people a complex feeling of relief.
When those ghosts disappeared, the open door to the underworld slowly closed, and Zhang Fan looked up at the sky with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
The Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth is currently bearing the power of merit infused by the Heaven. This time, the power is so enormous that his body cannot withstand it, so it is directly infused into the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth.
The seal of the Pawnshop of Heaven and Earth in his arms was emitting a slight heat, and its shape was slowly changing, and he was gaining more knowledge about the laws of the Xuanming Realm. Now, as long as he held this seal, he could even replace the Lord of the Underworld and become the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the real Xuanming Realm.
This achievement touched him deeply, and he could not help standing at the entrance of the tent, looking out into the clean and peaceful depths of the canyon, and a feeling of pity disappeared from his heart. Instead, he felt the peace and indifference of saving the thousands of people who sat and watched the wind and clouds roll by.
"Zhang Fan!" Nangong Manyun felt that her legs could move again, and immediately stood up from the alcohol stove and threw herself on Zhang Fan.
"Are you okay... Woohoo, you scared me to death!" Nangong Manyun cried loudly, obviously she was very scared!
Mr. Jiang Hai and Mr. Fei came up next: "Mr. Zhang Fan, are you okay? Are you injured or anything?"
The two were extremely anxious, with concern written all over their faces!
Zhang Fan raised his head and glanced at the worried expressions on the two people's faces, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry... I just went to exorcise some ghosts, I wasn't hurt."
Hearing Zhang Fan's reply, Mr. Fei and Mr. Jiang Hai both breathed a sigh of relief!
Taoist Zijin was not good at speaking, but he held the Taotie's tooth tightly in his hand. Seeing Zhang Fan return safely, he put down the dagger in his hand. His eyes were full of awe and confidence when he looked at Zhang Fan!
Brother Chongzi came up to him and said, "Mr. Zhang Fan, have you saved the souls of those ghosts? How did you do that? I didn't see you chanting sutras or reciting Buddhist scriptures!"
He stared into the canyon, but didn't see any ghosts or monsters. However, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
"Who told you that you can only pray for the dead by chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name? As long as your heart is sincere, it is just a matter of thought."
Zhang Fan said with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother Chongzi, you are not afraid of cold and raw food, and even gods and ghosts cannot get close to you! How come... a few ghosts frightened you so much that your whole body was cold and your bones were chilled!"
Brother Chongzi twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and wanted to curse!
But when he saw Zhang Fan's teasing look, he couldn't swear at him. His expression changed from gloomy to uncertain: "I... I'm not scared! They are just a few ghosts. At worst, I will die with them."
After saying this, Brother Chongzi took a step forward to look for his little brother!
But everyone noticed that his face was covered with cold sweat and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Mr. Fei shook his head and said, "It's really a ghost! Today I have learned a lot... I didn't expect there would be ghost soldiers in this place, and I also saw many ghosts that looked like the corpses buried with the dead. Fortunately, there are not many of them. If all the dead bodies were turned into ghosts, we would be drowned in the tide even if we had the ability to reach the sky."
Mr. Fei said this with some luck!
"Yes, I was skeptical at first, thinking that everything Nangong Manyun saw in the illusion was unreliable... But now, I am not sure!
Mr. Jiang Hai also added a sentence.
Zhang Fan didn't say much after hearing this, because the fact was just as Mr. Fei said, none of those buried with him were missing, and their souls were not completely destroyed. Instead, they all turned into ghosts!
This place is very special. Someone has set up a soul-gathering formation there, and with the indulgence of Heaven, it has become so large in scale.
If Zhang Fan had not communicated with the underworld and wanted to perform salvation through a monk or Taoist priest, he would probably never be able to accomplish it in this lifetime!
So if Zhang Fan hadn't appeared here, not only would these ghosts never be able to reincarnate again! It is estimated that there are only a few people blocking the way!
Even if there was an army here, it would be torn into powder by the sharp teeth and claws of these monsters.
Zhang Fan did not explain too much about these evil soldiers to Nangong Manyun and others!
In his opinion, these ghost soldiers were just pawns of others, but at least for everything in this forest, these ghost soldiers were just things that floated on the surface and were easy to deal with.
It is also part of the ability of that strange forest to materialize reality.
This did not make him feel that he had the ability to manage all the problems in this mountain forest. Instead, he felt that the threat was even greater and the pressure was even greater.
Old man Jiang Hai fell into a deep sleep. After learning that the ghost soldiers had left, this old man, who was over 90 years old and had put himself in danger in search of immortality, finally got some comfort and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The rest of the people looked at each other. Except for Brother Chongzi who pretended to be indifferent, everyone else felt like they had survived a disaster.
Finally, the alcohol stove was extinguished, and everyone went out to find some wood. In many places near the mountain, everyone found some dry wood. These were dry woods washed out of the woods by the mudslides formed after the heavy rain. Even though it rained heavily, the woods were not completely wet.
Because what happened was so unbelievable, the only thing that could make everyone feel safe was fire. Because of this, no one was willing to waste more alcohol, and they had to collect wood even at the risk of their lives.
After cooking a little food and eating it, everyone went into their tents, felt tired, and soon fell asleep.
In such a dangerous situation, it is difficult to guarantee that one can stay awake all night. After all, one is too tired today and has traveled too long. No one can support one's exhausted body.
When we woke up the next morning, the sun had already risen high. Everyone walked out of the tent and came to the canyon. Looking at the grass branches and leaves around us, all of them were trampled close to the ground. Only then did people remember what they had experienced last night.
