Chapter 49
Zhou Tianning came here to gain fame.
His thinking was 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 didn't 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 came to greet him 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 will be raised, even if a ghost king level is raised, it will be a huge blow to the religious association.
In his previous life, he told Tang Fang immediately after he found out about these things. He was also stupid in his previous life and 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 her neck with a firm look in her eyes. She would never let her ghost husband get hurt again because of gathering intelligence. On the contrary, she would make all the ghosts inside become her 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, you said that no one knew about this in your previous life? What's 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.
Even the task list in Ye Wangxing's hand had Vice President Ding's signature on it, which was more official than the signature he got through connections.
God knows this is the place where it is easiest to gain reputation and 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.
However, now he was being dealt with by Ye Wangxing - Zhou Tianning was speechless and didn't know how to describe it when he saw Ye Wangxing comforting the ordinary person and then suppressing the Ghost Emperor.
While Zhou Tianning was stunned, the staff he brought with him were unaware of his inner grief and anger.
"I didn't expect that Master Zhou would collide with Master Ye..."
Xiao Wu whispered to his colleagues.
"However, judging from the task list in Master Ye Xiaotian's hand, it seems that the association has already investigated this place and specially sent Master Ye Xiaotian here to carry out the task."
The colleague also whispered to Xiao Wu that they were civilian staff and that they were here purely to record the on-site conditions and conduct on-site investigations, so they didn't 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 in? That won't work, Brother Zhou. They don't have any means of self-protection. They'll 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 mission list I have, the association has detected an unusually large number of ghosts inside. In normal combat, these auxiliary celestial masters can still contain or distract the ghosts, but with this number of them going in now, 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 annual meeting's reserved program in advance - A heart full of gratitude, grateful for you~
If it weren't for Master Ye Xiaotian, they would have found it difficult to refuse, just like they couldn't refuse to work overtime.
But with a monthly salary of 4,000, who would risk their lives for them? If you can afford 100,000, they promise to go in and dance ballet with the ghosts inside and lift them up without a word!
"But this is also a test 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 us two civilian staff here?
Does she look like she needs to get a Heavenly Master certificate?
Xiao Wu glanced back quietly and saw that the colleagues from the armed forces who were brought here by Master Zhou were also waving their hands, wanting 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 auxiliary Heavenly Masters is because they had no idea about the Heavenly Master Certificate?
No! Their qualifications are only enough to be auxiliary heavenly masters!
Even if they may be able to obtain the Heavenly Master Certificate due to their experience in the future, and even if the Heavenly Master Certificate can bring them at least 10,000 yuan in subsidies, what are they going to do with a monthly salary of only 6,000 yuan now!
They want the Heavenly Master Certificate just to make a living, not really wanting to achieve great things - could it be that all the undergraduates who work 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 had no idea that his good intentions were being misinterpreted by the Heavenly Masters behind him. He didn't even notice that the staff, who he hadn't thought of as expressing any opinions about the Zhou family, 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.
He had guaranteed that none of these staff members would suffer fatal injuries. He even tried to use the Ghost Emperor to prove that nothing would go wrong 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. My relationship with him is not strong enough to trust him completely."
Ye Wangxing said seriously, but Zhou Tianning looked at Ye Wangxing's serious expression, and 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 Heart Contract? Why are you silent now? You clearly wanted it so badly.
However, Zhou Tianning wasn't 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 safety 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 discover a fight, these auxiliary personnel at the door can help us contact the association to send 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'll 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 made arrangements.
"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, but took out a compass and began to check the yin energy here.
As he expected, the yin energy here was extremely heavy 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 was also built into a shooting range after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The negative energy inside is very heavy.
But there is still a sense of righteousness pressing on him.
This is probably why they did not 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 energy outside the gate is not visible, and the place inside the gate is naturally full of Yin energy."
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. Old yellow wooden doors and green-painted walls can be seen everywhere here.
Looking inside the door, there was an old-fashioned table with a wood-grained surface that had been polished 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 in elementary school too. It was so bumpy and hard to write on. I always had to put a hard card mat under my homework. Back then, the teacher even told us to tell our parents to buy a hard card mat from the stationery store near the school.]
Although he seemed relaxed, only Yijiu knew that the host's emotions were now on full alert.
[This 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 you installed a surveillance camera on me, otherwise how could you be so considerate? Yijiu, you are really so kind!]
Ye Wangxing said this with great emotion, and in his heart he silently added the databases and emotional templates that he had previously shown Yijiu his preference to into 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, 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 rested his body on him.
"...The new personality template the host bought is really effective. I'm actually feeling guilty now." Yijiu thought to himself.
Looking at the host's body covered with emotion monitors, Yin Qi erosion monitors and various other monitors, the emotion simulation module rarely gave him an uneasy feeling.
[By the way, I think I'm fine now. I don't feel like the Yin Qi has eroded me to that extent, but I'm worried that the Yin Qi here is too strong 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, completely unaware: [That's good. By the way, is Zhou Tianning planning to go to that Yin Gathering Formation?]
Yijiu said: [Yes, host, do you want to create an opportunity for him? ]
Ye Wangxing nodded and said, "The fate line in this world is much stronger than before. I've tried many methods before, but they were all discovered."
"I clearly set the temperature in his bed to be the most comfortable, and even arranged for a light rain to fall outside his room, making it the perfect time to stay in bed. I even asked Vice President Ding to give him a day off. How on earth did he have such a strong will to get out of bed?"
Ye Wangxing was puzzled.
Yijiu said calmly: [This is probably the protagonist's self-control.]
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 was already used 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.
——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 start rioting, retreat 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.
Like a slave without self throughout the whole process.
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 Formation 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 in their lives, otherwise they would not be intimidated by the righteousness and could not get out. They could 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 ready and 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 amiss.
——Aren’t there too many evil spirits here?
Zhou Tianning looked at the dense crowds of evil spirits pouring out from the execution ground, and a dark cloud had gathered above them.
This was totally inconsistent with the mission reports he had seen in his previous life!
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. Instead, it 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 disappeared quickly 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 responsible for monitoring the magnetic field of the entire 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 walkie-talkie 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 inside!"
As they heard the sound, 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 confused look on their faces, and then their expressions changed and they rushed into the wall.
Then various official armed personnel rushed out from the jungle in all directions.
But before they could figure out what was going on, they were fooled by these official staff and started 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, Xiao Wu and the others walked together, slowly approaching the shooting range at the back with their weapons in hand. They originally thought 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 a young man's neck. He was also pinching the magic formula 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, and his chest and abdominal muscles were completely exposed. He was panting tiredly, but Master Ye Xiaotian did not seem to feel tired, or perhaps anger had 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 wouldn't risk exposing my aunt to the Ghost Emperor, nor would they treat ghosts with such an indifferent attitude."
"He doesn't have your skills, and he can't remain calm in the face of a ghost. It's even more impossible for him to ignore my injuries and concentrate on dealing with the evil spirit."
For the first time, such a strong murderous intent burst out from the handsome Taoist priest's eyes.
"—Get out of Continental's body, you imposter!"
But the response he got was not the ridicule or denial from 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 noticed it."
"You are the only one who recognizes that 'I' am not 'me'. This..."
The young man hugged the little Taoist priest, buried his head in his neck, and took a deep breath.
"--Very good."
As the young man spoke, his tear-filled eyes raised and were reflected in the eyes of the little Taoist priest.
"You're still alive, and you recognized me. It's really great."
