Chapter 49
Zhou Tianning came here to gain fame.
His thoughts were very clear. In his previous life, no one in the association spoke for the Zhou family. One point was that it was indeed difficult to rescue the Zhou family.
Another point is that the people in the association do not have close ties with the Zhou family, and the Zhou family itself is just a figurehead in the association and does not take on tasks very often.
So Zhou Tianning decided yesterday to come to this old execution ground to get rid of the ghosts that were imprisoned there.
Yes, a captive ghost.
This was what Tang Fang told him after this incident in his previous life. He did not participate in it, but when someone greeted him, he turned a blind eye.
Later, Tang Fang was also a little confused as to why they had to come to say hello specifically for this old execution ground, so he asked himself to investigate.
And he actually found out that something was wrong - there were a few evil cultivators in the old execution ground who were using the Yin Gathering Formation to raise ghosts in the old execution ground.
Although it is unlikely that a ghost of the Ghost Emperor level could be raised, even if a Ghost King level ghost was raised, it would still be a huge blow to the religious association.
In his previous life, he told Tang Fang immediately after finding out these things. He was also stupid in his previous life as he did not report it to the association, resulting in all the credit being attributed to Tang Fang.
However, he would never give up the credit that belonged to him in this life, and...
Zhou Tianning held the soul-nourishing jade around his neck with a firm look in his eyes. He would never let his ghost husband get hurt again because of gathering intelligence. On the contrary, he would make all the ghosts inside become his nourishment.
but……
Who can tell him why Ye Wangxing is also here?
After arriving at the scene, Zhou Tianning looked at the two people and one ghost in disbelief.
Wasn't Ye Wangxing just contracted by the Ghost Emperor yesterday? Why did he suddenly come here? How dare those old-fashioned people in the association let him out?
And - 'Tang Fang, no one knew about what you said in your previous life? What's the matter with the task list in Ye Wangxing's hand!!!'
Zhou Tianning widened his eyes and looked at the task list that Ye Wangxing placed in front of him. In his mind, he wished he could skin Tang Fang alive eight hundred times.
There was even Vice President Ding's signature on the task list in Ye Wangxing's hand, which was more formal than the signature he got through connections.
God knows this is the easiest place to gain reputation among all the locations, and the place least likely to get hurt!
He remembered all the key points of the mission in this old execution ground in his previous life. He could even, with the help of his ghost husband, act as a hero and save the damsel in distress in front of the staff he led.
But now, Ye Wangxing - Zhou Tianning was speechless and didn't know how to describe it when he looked at Ye Wangxing, who was comforting the ordinary person for a while and then suppressing the Ghost Emperor back.
While Zhou Tianning was in a daze, the staff he brought with him had no idea of his inner grief and anger.
"I didn't expect that Master Zhou would collide with Master Ye..."
Xiao Wu whispered to his colleagues.
"But judging from the task list in Master Ye Xiaotian's hand, it seems that the association has already explored this place and specially sent Master Ye Xiaotian here to carry out the task."
The colleague also whispered to Xiao Wu that the two of them were civilian staff and that they came here purely to record the on-site conditions and conduct on-site investigations, so they did not need to go in.
However, several colleagues from the armed forces who were responsible for assisting the Heavenly Master breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if they went in, they would be in danger of their lives.
Even though Master Zhou said he would protect them, to be honest, given the character of the Zhou family, no one dared to believe that he would protect them sincerely.
They even suspected that this person brought them here just to use them as bait.
"I think so too. Otherwise, why would he bring two of us civilians with him?"
Xiao Wu and his colleagues chatted again.
At this time, Master Ye Xiaotian in front also put away the task list in his hand and started talking with Master Zhou Tianshi.
"...Let the staff go in? That won't work, Brother Zhou. They don't have any means of self-protection. They will get hurt if they go in."
After exchanging the task list with Zhou Tianning, Ye Wangxing decided to enter the old execution ground with Zhou Tianning without any unpleasant expression.
After submitting the application on the government affairs APP, he also helped to call Vice President Ding and quickly approved the applications of both people.
But when he heard that Zhou Tianning wanted to bring the staff in as well, he expressed his objection.
"According to the task list I have, the association has detected that the number of ghosts inside is different from that of ordinary people. In normal battles, these auxiliary heavenly masters can still contain or attract the attention of the ghosts, but now that this number of people are going in, we can't guarantee their safety."
The staff brought by Zhou Tianning: ...Master Ye Tian, you are a good man!
Xiao Wu almost sang the reserved program of the annual meeting in advance - a grateful heart, grateful for you~
If it weren't for Master Ye Xiaotian, it would have been difficult for them to refuse, just like they couldn't refuse to work overtime.
But with a monthly salary of 4,000, who would risk their lives to fight with them? If you have the guts to pay 100,000, they promise to go in and dance ballet with the ghosts inside and lift them up without saying a word!
"But this is also an experience for them. Who knows, maybe they can pass this mission and get the Heavenly Master Certificate?"
Master Zhou Tianshi said this somewhat unwillingly.
Xiao Wu: ...Leader, then why did you bring two of us civilian staff here?
Does she look like she needs to get a Heavenly Master Certificate?
When Xiao Wu glanced back quietly, he saw that the colleagues from the armed forces who were brought here by Master Zhou were also waving their hands, and they wanted to shout at Master Ye Xiaotian to prove that they really didn't need to get the Master certificate in this way.
The reason why they didn't get the Heavenly Master Certificate and chose to be assistant Heavenly Masters, is it because they had no idea about the Heavenly Master Certificate?
No! It's because their qualifications are only good enough to be assistant heavenly masters!
Even if they may be able to obtain a Taoist priest certificate due to their experience in the future, and even if the Taoist priest certificate can bring them at least 10,000 yuan in subsidies, what are they going to do with their current monthly salary of 6,000 yuan!
They want the Heavenly Master Certificate just to make a living, not really wanting to achieve great things - could it be that all these undergraduates who are working so hard on their graduation thesis really love their major?
Many people want to get a diploma so that they can find a job after graduation!
Why would some people take the clichés they usually say seriously and actually let them put them into practice?
If an emergency really occurs, they will naturally not sit idly by and may rush out subconsciously. However, one's own subjective will and being forced to go are two completely different concepts!
Now in the hearts of the staff of these associations, Zhou Tianning has jumped to the top of the most annoying leader.
This kind of leader who forces them to make sacrifices is the most annoying!
Zhou Tianning didn't know that his good intentions were all turned into bad intentions in the eyes of those heavenly masters behind him. He didn't even notice that the staff who, in his impression, had no opinions on the Zhou family's affairs were now very dissatisfied with him.
He simply wanted someone to witness him exterminating these evil spirits and to say a few good words about him in front of the association.
As for the danger, once those evil spirits are eliminated, the merits they gain will fully compensate for the danger they suffer.
But now all his previous plans have gone down the drain.
He didn't even know where this Holy Father Ye Wangxing came from.
These staff members would not suffer fatal injuries, he had guaranteed it. He even tried to use the Ghost Emperor to prove that there would be no problem with this person in place. But listen to what Ye Wangxing said?
"...Xie Yu is not on the mission list, and he has nothing to do with this mission. The relationship between him and me is not strong enough to fully trust him."
Ye Wangxing said seriously, but Zhou Tianning looked at Ye Wangxing's serious expression, then looked at the Ghost Emperor behind him who was pretending not to care but was gritting his teeth.
—You two have pledged your love to each other, and you still say you can’t trust him? ? ?
Zhou Tianning felt like he was going crazy. Didn’t he see that the Ghost Emperor’s eyes lit up when he heard his proposal?
As long as Ye Wangxing acts coquettishly, he can bring these staff members in. When the time comes to eliminate those ghosts, he can let these staff members record the whole process. Ye Wangxing's status in the association is also rising. Why is he not willing to do this?
And Ghost Emperor, wasn't he very fierce when he forced Ye Wangxing to sign the covenant? Why are you silent now? You obviously want it very much?
However, Zhou Tianning was not stupid enough to ask in front of the Ghost Emperor. He suppressed his anger and said to Ye Wangxing again: "But if His Majesty the Ghost Emperor is willing to help, then the lives of these staff members will be guaranteed, right?"
"But as long as they don't go in, their lives can be guaranteed, right? It's just an investigation. If we really find a fight, these auxiliary personnel at the door can help us contact the association to send people for support."
Ye Wangxing's expression was very calm, except for a hint of doubt occasionally.
If it were someone else, they would probably have to argue with Zhou Tianning.
Zhou Tianning couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment, and Ye Wangxing finalized the matter.
"That's settled. The staff will be waiting outside. We will send you a message every 10 minutes. If you don't receive a message, call the association immediately to report and request reinforcements."
Ye Wangxing gave instructions to the staff behind Zhou Tianning and assigned the tasks at the same time.
The staff took over the tasks assigned by Master Ye Xiaotian with calm expressions but excited hearts, and quickly arranged them.
"Okay, everything has been arranged, we can go in, Brother Zhou!"
The energetic voice reached Zhou Tianning's ears. Zhou Tianning, whose plan had been completely disrupted, turned his head woodenly and looked at Ye Wangxing, who had a sunny face.
...So he really hates Ye Wangxing!
But Zhou Tianning still came in quietly.
——Does he have any other choice?
Because there were only him and Ye Wangxing at the scene - plus a ghost - Zhou Tianning did not talk too much to Ye Wangxing. Instead, he took out a compass and began to check the negative energy here.
As he expected, the yin energy here was extremely strong and even carried a strong sense of resentment.
The old execution ground here was used as an execution ground before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China it was also built into a shooting range, with a heavy negative energy inside.
But there is still a sense of righteousness pressing down on me.
This is probably why they didn't feel the heavy yin energy inside when they were outside the door.
'No wonder those monks who cooperated with Tang Fang attached so much importance to this place. The Yin Qi outside the gate is not visible, and the inside of the gate is a place with heavy Yin Qi.'
Zhou Tianning thought about it and his expression became cautious, and then he carefully observed the scene here.
The reception desk is right at the entrance of this old execution ground. Age-old yellow wooden doors and green-painted walls can be seen everywhere here.
When I looked inside the door, I saw an old-fashioned table with a wood-grained surface that had been stained with oil.
Ye Wangxing did not hurt Zhou Tianning's heart again. After he came in, his expression became serious.
But in his mind he was talking to Yijiu in a relaxed manner.
[Ah, I had that desk when I was in elementary school. It was full of potholes and it was hard to write on. I had to put a hard card pad under my homework every time. At that time, the teacher even asked us to tell our parents to buy a hard card pad from the stationery store next to the school.]
Although he seemed relaxed, only Yijiu knew that the host's emotions were now at full alert.
[It seems to be a decoration that was common in your era. This place is indeed quite old. ]
As Yijiu was speaking silently, the Ghost Emperor in reality had already come to the side of Master Ye Xiaotian, allowing him to clearly see that he was right beside him. He also gently placed a hand on his shoulder in front of him.
[…Yijiu sometimes really suspects that you have installed a surveillance camera on me, otherwise how could you be so considerate? Yijiu, you are really so nice! ]
Ye Wangxing said with great emotion, and in his heart he silently added the databases and emotional templates that he had previously shown to Yijiu to the shopping cart.
Although he had already bought a few for Yijiu in the previous mission, and Yijiu could even build a personality model of Zhou Tianning now, but for Ye Wangxing, he just wanted to buy things for Yijiu to thank him.
However, what Ye Wangxing didn't notice was that Yijiu stiffened for a moment when he was on top of him.
"…The new personality template that the host bought is really useful. I am actually feeling guilty now." Yijiu thought in his mind.
Looking at the host's body full of emotion monitors, Yin Qi erosion monitors and various other monitors, the emotion simulation module gave him a rare feeling of uneasiness.
[By the way, I think I am fine now. I don’t feel that the Yin Qi has eroded me to that extent, but I am afraid that the Yin Qi here is too heavy and has blocked my senses.]
Ye Wangxing said a little nervously.
'I feel much more at ease.'
Yijiu thought and said: [Please rest assured, host, your judgment is not wrong. ]
Ye Wangxing said unawarely: [That's good. By the way, is Zhou Tianning planning to go to the Gathering Yin Formation? ]
Yijiu said: [Yes, host, do you want to create an opportunity for him? ]
Ye Wangxing nodded and said: [The fate line of this world is much stronger than before. I have thought of many ways before, but they have all been discovered. ]
[I clearly set the most comfortable temperature for his bed, and even made it rain outside his room, which is the most suitable time to stay in bed. I also specially asked Vice President Ding to give him a day off. How did he have such a strong will to get out of bed? ]
Ye Wangxing was puzzled.
Yijiu said calmly: [This is probably the self-control of the protagonist. ]
Ye Wangxing nodded, it was indeed possible, and turned around to create opportunities for Zhou Tianning.
So in Zhou Tianning's opinion, the Ghost Emperor seemed to think that this act of checking the Yin Qi was quite boring, and began to harass Ye Wangxing openly.
But judging from Ye Wangxing's expression, he had become accustomed to this harassment, because he just sighed, ignored the Ghost Emperor, turned around and took him to the other side. Before leaving, he said hello to Zhou Tianning and said he would come over later.
When Zhou Tianning saw them and the ghost leaving, he felt that God was helping him. Although he suspected it was a trap, judging from his subsequent behavior, they would not be able to catch him in anything.
——After all, he just let his ghost husband out to explore the surroundings.
"Pei Si, go explore over there. Remember, just explore once and come back immediately. There are a lot of evil spirits over there. Once they riot, withdraw immediately. Don't get hurt by them. Once I destroy their formation, all the evil spirits over there will be yours."
Zhou Tianning spoke to the fierce ghost with a tough face in front of him in a very gentle tone, but still with a commanding tone.
Pei Si naturally did not resist Zhou Tianning's order. He flew quickly in the direction his wife pointed.
After carrying out his wife's order and attracting the evil spirits, he turned around and flew towards his wife.
The whole process was like a slave without self.
Zhou Tianning had already arrived at the execution ground behind the house. He stood there, holding a peach wood sword, a compass, and various talismans in his hands, ready to face the unrecognizable evil spirits in front of him.
These hideous ghosts did not look like this before they died, but they became like this after someone set up a Yin Gathering Array here.
As the name suggests, the artificially set up Yin Gathering Array will gather a lot of Yin energy to feed the evil spirits. After being fed, these evil spirits will become ferocious and start killing each other for the Yin energy.
However, Zhou Tianning did not have much sympathy for these evil spirits.
After all, this place used to be a shooting range and an execution ground. These evil spirits may look pitiful and hideous, but in fact they were all extremely evil people when they were alive, otherwise they would not be intimidated by the righteous energy and cannot get out. They can only devour other evil spirits here.
Zhou Tianning looked at the evil spirits flying towards him with an excited expression on his face. He was already ready, waiting to catch all these evil spirits in one fell swoop. Then, in the astonished eyes of Ye Wangxing, he was singled out for praise by the association.
But he soon discovered that something seemed a little wrong.
——Aren’t there too many evil spirits here?
Zhou Tianning looked at the dense crowds of evil spirits pouring out from the execution ground. A dark cloud had gathered above them.
This is totally inconsistent with the mission reports he saw in his previous life!
And just when Zhou Tianning was stunned, Ye Wangxing calmly spoke to Yijiu in his mind.
【Let’s take action! 】
The next second, a mass of something like black mud suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Tianning. The coldness and darkness of that thing made Zhou Tianning tremble.
However, this ball of black mud did not attack Zhou Tianning, but instead knocked all the evil spirits back to their original places, helping Zhou Tianning to withstand the first wave of attacks.
Before Zhou Tianning could come to his senses, the black mud quickly disappeared into the dark shadow as if it was afraid, and then hurried footsteps were heard behind him.
Ye Wangxing's voice came.
"What happened to Brother Zhou? Why is the yin energy here suddenly so strong?"
At the same time, the surveillance vehicle outside the door, which was responsible for monitoring the entire magnetic field of the old execution ground, sounded the alarm.
Guo Sheng and the others immediately jumped up from their seats. They stopped gossiping and immediately looked at the drone responsible for monitoring. The data sent from the drone made their faces change drastically.
They immediately picked up the intercom and talked to Lu Shi.
"Boss Lu, this is bad! The energy in the old execution ground suddenly surged. According to estimates, there are at least a thousand evil spirits in there!"
As they spoke, Lu Shi in the surveillance video also changed his expression and looked inside the wall.
He seemed to see something and immediately climbed over the wall and rushed in.
Even though Lu Shi was armed, his reckless behavior still frightened Guo Sheng and the others.
But at this time they couldn't rush in and cause trouble for their boss, so they could only grit their teeth and call for reinforcements.
Moreover, this was not the time to hide their identities at this critical moment, so the members of the religious association who were standing there looked at Lu Shi, who was originally staying well in the magic circle, with a blank look on their faces, and then their expressions changed and they rushed into the wall.
Then various official armed personnel rushed out from the jungles in all directions.
But before they could figure out what was going on, they were fooled by the official staff and began to be on alert.
Half an hour later, even Vice President Ding arrived at the scene.
Everyone at the scene felt the tense atmosphere.
The black air in the execution ground became like boiling water and began to fluctuate violently.
Only when everything calmed down and the sunlight that had been obscured by the black air once again shone into the execution ground did they dare to approach.
Guo Sheng and Xiao Wu walked together, slowly approaching the shooting range at the back with their weapons in hand. They originally thought that they would see several people injured.
However……
Guo Sheng and Xiao Wu's pupils trembled when they saw that Master Ye Xiaotian's peach wood sword was across the neck of a young man. He was also making some magic gestures in his hands, as if he was treating an enemy.
Both of them looked a little disheveled, with bloodstains on their bodies. The young man's clothes were torn, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles. He was panting tiredly, but Master Ye Xiaotian did not seem to feel tired, or perhaps anger had already taken over his body.
"Where have you hidden the souls of the continent?"
He didn't seem to notice the arrival of others, and was still growling at Lu Shi, or the person who occupied Lu Shi's body.
"The mainland would never risk exposing my aunt to the Ghost Emperor, nor would it treat ghosts with such an indifferent attitude."
"He doesn't have as good skills as you, and he can't remain calm in the face of ghosts. It's even more impossible for him to ignore my injuries and concentrate on dealing with evil spirits."
For the first time, such a strong murderous aura burst out from the handsome Taoist priest's eyes.
"——Get out of Mainland's body, you fake one!"
But the response he got was not the ridicule or denial of the 'fake' in front of him.
It was a warm hug and the feeling of wetness on the shoulder.
Strange yet familiar.
"Wang Xing, I didn't expect you were the only one who discovered it."
"You are the only one who recognizes that 'I' am not 'I', this..."
The young man hugged the little master, buried his head in his neck, and took a deep breath.
"--Very good."
As the young man spoke, he raised his tear-filled eyes and they were reflected in the eyes of the little Taoist priest.
"You're still alive, and you recognized me. That's really great."
