Wen Qi was surprised, "Never?"
Taoist Priest Xuwu gathered the souls in the air, landed beside the two, and said, "It has indeed never happened before. At the beginning, there were also celestial masters who wanted to learn this teleportation formation, but they were rejected by the higher-ups in the underworld. The reason given was to prevent celestial masters from using the formation to do evil."
Wen Qi asked in confusion: "Then there won't be ghosts in the underworld who use space formations to do evil?"
Taoist Priest Xuwu explained: "In the underworld, there is the Emperor Fengdu. It is said that he is equivalent to a god in the underworld. He can communicate with heaven and earth with a single thought. If you cause chaos in the underworld, you will seek death."
Wen Qi subconsciously looked at Feng Ce, who looked a little uncomfortable. Although Xu Wu was telling the truth, no one had ever dared to say these words in front of him. It was his first time hearing them, and he felt a little complicated.
Wen Qi couldn't help laughing.
Taoist Master Xuwu looked around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wen Qi coughed lightly and said seriously, "Nothing, let's continue." She immediately picked up her interrupted train of thought, "So, Xuye's teleportation array was obtained from the underworld?"
Taking a deep breath, Wen Qi's eyes widened, "You mean to say that someone in the underworld is colluding with Xuye!"
Feng Ce's eyebrows turned cold again, and he nodded and said, "The one who is colluding with him is definitely not an ordinary Yin Messenger. He must be at least at the level of a judge, or even a palace master."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qi and Taoist Xuwu fell silent. If the Palace Master really got involved, not only the world of the living but also the world of the dead would probably be in chaos.
After a while, Taoist Master Xuwu sighed heavily, "I shouldn't have cared about the living soul just now. I should have kept that beast alive even if it meant losing my virtue and going to hell!"
Wen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said the same thing again, "It's not worth it. There must be other ways." She looked up at the sky and said, "The barrier has been broken. Let's send the living soul back first."
Let’s end the topic here and deal with the matter at hand first.
On the other side, in a basin thousands of miles away from the scene of the incident, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and Xuye rolled out from it in a panic. He knelt on the ground and coughed up blood. After a while, he fell to the ground exhausted, curled up and gasped for breath.
His good senior brother really had no intention of letting him leave alive. If he hadn't been concerned about those fragile souls, he would have had no chance of escaping just now.
Xuye sneered, "Useless pity will only cause greater disasters. Once my experiment succeeds, everything will be fine."
He spread his hands and looked at the half of the soul left in the formation. A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He spent several months to set up the big plan, but it was destroyed by Wen Qi! The teleportation formation was also exposed, and the person in the underworld could not contact him for a short time.
Fortunately, the remaining materials are sufficient, so he can find a safe place to retreat and carry out the experiment in the next few months.
Over the next two days, Wen Qi worked with the people from the Tianshi Association on the aftermath. Many villages and populations were affected, and even animal protection was involved, so all the relevant departments were present.
Xuye is well-known in every wanted system.
Taoist Master Xuwu also helped to deal with some things, and then left alone. Before leaving, he reminded Wen Qi that he must be notified as soon as there was any news about Xuye.
Wen Qi agreed and watched Taoist Xuwu leave on his flying sword. Although he looked very cool, she could still see a hint of loneliness in him. If she remembered correctly, besides him, Xuye was the only Taoist Xuwu of the same generation as him in Wudang Mountain.
We should have helped each other, but unfortunately...
After everything was handed over, the group left and headed for Liujiazhai under the leadership of Liu Ran.
But on the way back, Liu Ran was still a little silent, until she saw the village which was exactly the same as she remembered, then the smile on her face became bright.
Liu Ran has a very high status in the village, especially among the younger generation, she can almost be called the number one. Therefore, the village, which was originally somewhat xenophobic, showed great enthusiasm towards the friends brought back by Liu Ran.
Liu Ran also took Wen Qi to pay homage to Liu Yuwei's parents, who are Wen Qi's grandparents.
Wen Qi kowtowed and burned incense to the two old people in a proper manner, and talked a lot about the ending of the Wen family and her current life. But until she left, she did not find the souls of the two old people. I think they have let go of everything and reincarnated.
After experiencing the folk customs in Liujiazhai and learning some common sense about raising Gu, the group finally set out on their return journey.
When riding the bus back to the city, Xing Kai said in a daze: "These past few days have been like a dream." With the transformation of humans and the evil spirits, the excitement was off the charts. In comparison, the previous twenty years seemed to have been lived in vain, so dull and ordinary.
Zhou Xuyang is still frightened and hopes that he will never experience something like this again. It is really good to be an ordinary person.
Originally they had other plans after arriving in southern Xinjiang, but Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang both said they wanted to go home, as home was the only place that could give them a sense of security.
Liu Ran had no choice but to follow them back. She couldn't possibly go traveling with a couple, right?
That’s right, Wen Qi and Feng Ce still plan to follow the original schedule. Just kidding, Feng Ce had saved up so much for his vacation, but he’s still using his computer to handle work every night!
If I don’t have a good time, I’d really be wasting my time working overtime in the two months before the closure.
Without outsiders around, Wen Qi and Feng Ce were finally able to have fun. In addition to the more popular tourist attractions, they also visited several places where it was said that evil spirits existed, and even paid to stay in a haunted house for a night.
There are indeed ghosts in the haunted house, but they are not evil ghosts. Instead, they are a family of three who died of accidental gas poisoning at home. They didn’t want to be separated so they stayed in the world of the living, in their former home, and lived together in another way.
After hearing the story, Wen Qi was very emotional. If she had not been taken away by the escape system after her death, she would probably have been reluctant to leave her master to live alone.
The family of three in the haunted house also chatted with them very happily. After overcoming their initial fear, they could even treat Wen Qi and Feng Ce as ordinary friends who came to visit. Especially after the green-clothed ghost baby and Taotie came out, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
The child of this family was only five years old when he died. He was very playful and was reluctant to share his toys with other children when he was alive, but became much more generous after he died.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t met any friends to play with in a long time. With two kids, one big and one small, and a glutton, the noise was so loud that the roof was about to be lifted off.
As for the five mature adults, well... they played cards all night long, and the final winner was naturally Wen Qi, who had the help of Feng Ce and Qing Yi to cheat.
After leaving the haunted house, Wen Qi and Feng Ce’s journey was almost coming to an end.
After playing outside for more than half a month, Wen Qi has become very content. After returning, it is time to start preparing to open an office.
Feng Ce couldn't delay any longer. Guan Changfeng called more and more frequently in the past few days. He almost cried several times and was obviously on the verge of collapse.
Wen Qi discussed it with Feng Ce and booked a return flight ticket the next day. (End of this chapter)
