Chapter 456 Footsteps



"Hello, it's like this, actually we are from the Metaphysics Management Office, have you heard of our office?"

Bai Xinyu said to the old ghost, "We came into the mountains to find a group of pigs. It was a coincidence that we came here. Have you ever seen pigs here? And why is this desolate graveyard of yours so strange? Why are there so many rubble?"

"The Metaphysics Management Office? I've heard of it, but you came here because you chased a bunch of pigs? What are you chasing pigs for?"

Upon hearing Bai Xinyu's words, the old ghost shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any pigs. There aren't many ghosts left in this desolate graveyard. Most of them have gone to be reincarnated or to the woods to the east. Right now, I'm the only old ghost left here."

As they were talking, a few old ghosts emerged from the graveyard. However, those old ghosts didn't seem to like interacting with outsiders, so they came out for a while and then disappeared back into the graveyard.

After listening to Old Ghost's words, Hidden asked, "They all went to the east? Why would they go to the east? Is there something there that attracts them?"

"Because the yin energy there is heavy, it's a good place to raise ghosts, so everyone went there. We're too old to go, so we didn't go."

After the old ghost finished speaking, he pointed to the rubble on the ground and said, "You're all curious about these stones, aren't you? Well, actually, there used to be a very big stone here in our cemetery, but for some reason, one day a strange ghost came from the mountains, broke that stone, and then threw it into our cemetery. What a strange ghost!"

As the old ghost was talking, he was about to go back to the cemetery. He said, "Oh dear, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to rest now. I've already been assigned a number to be reincarnated in the underworld. I'll be able to reincarnate in a few more years."

"Oh, thank you."

Bai Xinyu said to the old ghost, "But if you see any pigs coming here, you can tell us."

"OK."

"That's what the old ghost replied."

Hidden glanced at Old Ghost, who had already burrowed back into the ground, then shook his head and said, "It's strange. Why do so many people say that the pigs ran into this mountain, but we haven't found any trace of pigs living here?"

They received a tip that a group of pigs had probably wandered into the mountains, so they came to the mountains to look for the pigs. However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any pigs.

"Let's go. Maybe it's on the other side of the mountain. After all, this mountain is so big. Based on their route, we can only guess that they went into the mountain, but we can't be sure which direction they are in."

Bai Xinyu nudged the hidden back and said.

"Yes, let's look again."

As they spoke, Yinni and Bai Xinyu transformed into two felines, leaping through the mountains and forests.

...

Because Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi are human, their walking speed is slower than their colleagues. So, while everyone else was almost finished finding their way and preparing to head north to meet up, the two of them slowly made their way into the depths of the east.

As soon as she entered the deep forest to the east, Mu Xiaoyi felt a chilling ghostly aura and saw many messy graves.

"My goodness, how can there be so many graves here?"

Upon seeing the graveyard, Mu Xiaoyi hurriedly pulled out a bunch of talismans. She said, "Tsk tsk, there's so much yin energy here. I guess this is the place with the most yin energy in the entire mountain."

Ye Dongfeng frowned and said, "But where are the ghosts here? Why haven't we seen any?"

"I don't know, maybe they don't come out during the day?"

Mu Xiaoyi guessed, "But the sun is almost setting now, it's okay to come out for a bit, right? Could it be because we're here?"

As they were talking, a female ghost crawled out of a graveyard to Mu Xiaoyi's right. The ghost was wearing a floral dress and had disheveled hair. She floated over and said, "Are you cultivators? What are you doing here?"

The female ghost had already realized that Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi were cultivators. She stared warily at them with her empty eye sockets and said, "The ghosts here are all law-abiding local ghosts who have never done anything bad. What are you cultivators doing here?"

"Well, actually, we're from the Department of Metaphysics Management. You've probably heard of us, right?"

Ye Dongfeng took out his work ID and said, "We're here today to find a group of pigs. I don't know if you've seen them before?"

"The Metaphysics Management Office? Oh, I've heard of that."

When the female ghost heard Ye Dongfeng say that they were from the Xuanxue Management Office, she put away her hostility. Since no demon or monster was unaware of the cooperation between the three realms, the female ghost became friendly towards them.

The female ghost waved to the graveyard behind her and said, "Come out, brothers, this is the Xuanxue Management Office, not some cultivators who came to deal with us."

After the female ghost finished speaking, many ghosts emerged from the graves behind her. These ghosts included both men and women, and were of all ages.

"Oh, so you guys have been hiding here all along~"

After seeing so many ghosts, Ye Dongfeng blinked and took a step back. Once he was at a safe distance, he said, "But may I ask if you have ever seen wild boars here? Ordinary pigs are fine too."

"Ah, so you didn't come here to deal with our cultivators. I thought you came here to deal with our cultivators. Some cultivators are really annoying. They like to perform rituals for people at the drop of a hat, regardless of whether the people need them or not. But wild boar? I've never seen one before."
