In Guan Qian's office in the Special Affairs Department.
Jiang Si and Yin Fengyao sat down together in front.
Guan Qian was very pleased, "I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person."
“Yin Fengyao, what you did didn’t cause too much damage, so I can let you off the hook,” Guan Qian leaned back in his chair, seemingly confident. “We can also change your fate, but you have to do one thing for me.”
Jiang Si felt she had been tricked. "Let me ask you something. You're not asking me to get involved in this, are you?"
Guan Qian smiled innocently: "I always say that Master Jiang, you are the most insightful."
"..." That's a very nice thing to say.
"I've risked my life for you, what if I lose my life in the end? Or what if I fail to accomplish the task?" Yin Fengyao knew he would die young, but he didn't expect to die so soon.
"You can rest assured, with Jiang Si around, she will absolutely protect your life." Guan Qian had great confidence in Jiang Si.
If anyone could venture into that place alone and emerge unscathed, Jiang Si would undoubtedly be one of them.
"What do you need to do?" Jiang Si asked.
"Do you know about the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Guan Qian asked.
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Jiang Si frowned. "Never heard of it. What kind of place is it?"
Yin Fengyao's face turned even paler.
Why do you want to go to that place?
"I'm going to find something," Guan Qian said. "As for what it is, I'll tell you once we're inside."
"Why does he have to go?" Jiang Si didn't quite understand. It sounded like the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave was a rather dangerous place. With her and Guan Qian's abilities, they shouldn't be unable to get through it.
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts, as it's called, is a place where all the evils of the world gather. Any one of them is a headache to deal with," Guan Qian said with a wry smile.
"What's the difference between that and the Avici Hell?" Jiang Si frowned.
Hearing about all the evils in the world made her feel uncomfortable.
This kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with and the most troublesome; it could easily cause even bigger problems. Jiang Si generally avoids provoking it unless absolutely necessary.
“There’s not much difference,” Guan Qian said. “It’s just that people in the Avici Hell can’t usually get out, while people in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave can come out whenever they want.”
"Of course, when they reach that level, they sometimes don't really look down on us weak human beings."
When a person's strength reaches a certain limit, the pursuit becomes even greater strength.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts is a gathering place for all evils in the world. Wouldn't it be better to fight and kill there?
“But,” Guan Qian changed the subject, “it’s not necessarily true.”
"..."
"..."
"Get to the point."
“Yin Fengyao is a descendant of the Ghost Clan; only he can find the location of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave,” Guan Qian said solemnly.
He thought the Ghost Clan descendant had long since perished, but unexpectedly, there were still some who had escaped. Finding the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts gave him hope.
“I can agree to your request,” Yin Fengyao said, “but first give me some hope. Even my great-grandfather felt uneasy going into that place.”
His great-grandfather was able to get in because of the protection of his ancestors over many years.
They are the Oni clan, and in some ways they are like foreign emperors. Regardless of their actual strength, they still show you respect on the surface.
But now he's the deposed crown prince of the Ghost Clan, so it's hard to say whether the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave will still give him face.
If things go wrong, he might become forgotten as soon as he leaves.
Guan Qian opened the drawer, took out a yellow cloth bag, and inside was a life-extending pill that emitted a faint fragrance.
Even in Jiang Si's time, the Life-Extending Pill was extremely precious.
One pill is enough to bring the dead back to life and snatch people away from the King of Hell.
A fierce light flashed in Yin Fengyao's eyes.
With the life-extending pill, he would no longer be a short-lived ghost.
"I keep my word," Guan Qian said. "As long as you help us get into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave, this pill is yours."
This is practically a life-saving elixir.
Jiang Si never expected Guan Qian to be so generous.
At the same time, a hidden worry arose in his heart: what kind of dangerous place could make Guan Qian so generous?
"So I have nothing?"
Guan Qian smiled, “Master Jiang’s merit in saving all the people in the world can reach the ears of the heavens.”
He knew what Jiang Si wanted.
Jiang Si's eyes flashed, but she didn't ask any more questions.
If it truly is about saving all the people in the world, she has to go no matter what.
Yin Fengyao said, "Going to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave is not that simple. I need to go back to my hometown and find the old Book of Fate."
The Book of Fate was a contract between the Yin Clan and the myriad ghosts. With this contract, they could at least maintain some credibility and make those powerful figures listen to a word or two from the Yin Clan.
Moreover, one needs a destiny book to possibly find the location of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave.
Yin Fengyao had only heard a little about the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave from his elders when he was a child. Only his great-grandfather had been inside it more than a hundred years ago.
It is said that they went in to get reinforcements.
It was a matter of life for life; Great-Grandfather had already died when Yin Fengyao was only two years old.
Sometimes, there is a price to pay.
Jiang Si: "How could you not carry something so important with you?"
Yin Fengyao rolled her eyes. "That thing can only be used by our family. No one else can use it. Stealing it wouldn't do any good."
This is like an imperial edict, only useful to the Yin family.
"Then we should not delay. Jiang Si, you accompany Yin Fengyao back to get the contract book. I need to prepare other things here."
Yin Fengyao's hometown is a backward village in central China.
"Just tell me, how many turns does your house have to go through?" After getting off the plane and taking a bus, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Jiang Si felt a strange sense of familiarity with this feeling.
Why do people prefer to stay in remote mountains and forests? Aren't big cities more appealing?
