Chapter 30
Someone walked up to Cui Ziyao, and Cui Ziyao looked at Cui Biwu hopefully.
Cui Biwu looked at him lovingly and said, "Go."
He ignored Cui Ziyao's request, his face full of determination to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
This child had no feelings. Ever since he had witnessed life and death, and understood that no matter how glorious a life was, it would eventually turn into a handful of earth after a hundred years, he had been afraid, afraid that he would die a meaningless death like these ordinary people.
So he sought help from immortals and medicine, and was found by Meng Yi more than 20 years ago. Since then, he has worshipped the statue of the god in Fangjia Village, praying for a complete transformation and immortality.
Cui Ziyao was finally abandoned by his biological father and was taken to a cave under the statue trembling all over.
He glanced at the signs on the ground and knew that most of them were engraved with Cui Ziyao. He was too lazy to look at them and just stepped over them.
I don't know what the patriarch was chanting, but it was obvious that the people below were enjoying it. This sacrifice was usually made up of young boys and girls, and Shi Ye waited there impatiently, waiting for the patriarch to finish his nonsense so that they could move on to the next step.
Shi Ye, carrying a sword, stood on top and looked down, but he didn't find Meng Yi.
He looked over and saw Wang Sheng standing under the tree. He looked at him, then walked away and continued looking for Meng Yi.
Wang Sheng felt like teasing her. He deliberately put his mouth close to the paper figurine and spoke slowly in a low voice, "Master, can you choose me and allow me to ascend to heaven?"
Shi Ye paused and ignored him.
When Wang Sheng was about to continue harassing people like the patriarch, he suddenly saw someone out of the corner of his eye. He looked over and found it was Qiu Li.
Qiuli was frantically searching for something in the distance, looking as if she had gone mad. Wang Sheng saw she was alone and worried something might have happened to her, so he ran over and grabbed her, asking, "Madam Qiu, why are you here? Where's Xiaotao?"
Qiuli shook her body, realizing that this was the handsome brother Fang Zhitao had mentioned. She said, "Xiaotao, wooah! He's gone, wow!"
Hearing some movement from Wang Sheng's side, Shi also took out the mother talisman, wanting to hear what was being said, and heard Wang Sheng say, "Master, Fang Zhitao is missing."
Shi Ye's expression became stern.
Fang Zhitao wasn't even half-dead now, so even if Meng Yi captured her, it would be useless. So why was Qiu Li saying Fang Zhitao was missing? Was she really just going crazy?
Below the stage, Cui Biwu had completely lost himself in his dream of ascension, no different from other villagers.
On the stage, the patriarch recited the oath in a very leisurely manner, as if it could really attract immortals to bless them.
Shi Ye laughed, it was interesting.
If Cui Biwu was bewitched by Meng Yi, then this clan leader was completely in cahoots with Meng Yi and was deliberately wasting his time!
"Xun Qi hole opens, disperse!"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew out of nowhere and knocked the patriarch and the people around him to the ground, making them fall on their backs and scream in pain.
The tribesmen below all raised their heads, not knowing what was happening. When they saw their leader and the others lying on the ground, they all burst into an uproar.
Cui Biwu pointed at Shi Ye and cursed, "You evildoer! What do you want to do?" However, he was afraid of death and only dared to question Shi Ye from the audience. No one responded to him.
He ran towards the cave entrance. The stone path inside was winding and zigzagging. Soon he heard Cui Ziyao yelling inside.
"Let her go! Let her go!"
Cui Ziyao was pinned down and unable to move. In front of them were two mud sculptures sitting cross-legged. The insides were empty, and behind them was a copper furnace that had been refined into boiling molten lava.
The hot and twisted air made people sweat profusely. Fang Zhitao hunched over with her hands tied to her thighs. The man behind her had his throat wrapped in gauze and could not speak. He was the man who had been badly harmed by Fang Zhitao's ghosts the night before.
He grabbed Fang Zhitao tightly, lifted her up and tried to stuff her into one of the clay sculptures. Fang Zhitao screamed, kicked the clay sculpture randomly, and cried in despair.
Cui Ziyao only heard the sound of a sharp blade swinging past, and his body felt relaxed. He turned around and saw Shi Shiye, and knew that they were saved.
"Woo, woo, woo, why did you come just now? We almost died."
The mute's face was filled with fear. He was anxious to stuff Fang Zhitao in, but the Wumen thrown by Shi Ye pierced through his shoulder and pinned him directly to death on the furnace.
The molten lava kept bubbling, and the splashing liquid dripped onto the mute. The high temperature burned an area on his back. He opened his mouth, but could not make a sound.
There was a loud bang outside, and no one knew what had happened, but rocks began to fall in the cave.
Shi Ye pulled out Wu Men, cut the rope on Fang Zhi Tao's hand, picked up a child in one hand, and ran out quickly. The people inside lay on the ground, watching death approach.
Outside the cave, Wang Sheng originally held Qiuli to prevent her from running around, but he saw Shiye suddenly running into the cave. He didn't dare to move and stayed there waiting for Shiye to come over.
Suddenly his body shook, and in the horrified eyes of everyone, the statue began to move.
At first, it just opened its eyelids, and the dust on its body fell off. Then it propped up its legs and slowly stood up like a human, looking at the people below as if they were ants.
Wang Sheng's eyes lifted as the statue stood up. He froze in silence, saying word by word, "I'll go."
Qiu Li was smarter than him. While he was admiring the statue, she twisted away from his hand and ran away.
The people of Fangjia Village thought that the statue had really appeared, and they all knelt down and kowtowed. All this ended when the statue stepped on the patriarch and turned him into a puddle.
Everyone screamed and started to flee. Shi Ye was carrying Cui Ziyao and Fang Zhitao out of the cave when they saw this scene. Cui Ziyao covered his eyes and dared not look, while Fang Zhitao was much more accustomed to it and was even a little excited after knowing that the patriarch was dead.
As the statue stepped down, the sky and the earth suddenly changed. The moonlight was gradually shrouded in darkness, and a barrier was completely raised, isolating the entire Fangjia Village from the world.
Wang Sheng: "This is..."
He was no longer surrounded by houses and trees, but by desolate hillsides. Countless black smoke was floating above his head. The people of Fangjia Village had never seen such a scene before. They were terrified and looked everywhere for an exit.
Wang Sheng's head buzzed and a piercing chill ran through his body.
He squatted down, his hands trembling slightly, and grabbed a handful of sand.
Through all this, another scene suddenly appeared before his eyes. It was also a dark sky and the moon, and there were also screams, but there were more people dead there, and it was more tragic.
"Ghostland..."
A mocking voice came from the statue. Shi Ye looked over and saw it was Meng Yi.
He stood on the statue and looked at Shi Ye behind him, completely satisfied with his work. "I knew you would ruin my good deeds at the critical moment, but fortunately, I have found enough child ghosts over the years. Take a look, my friend, is this statue more powerful than yours?"
People are divided into different classes, and so are ghosts.
Those top evil spirits have a power that other evil spirits do not have, which is to use the ghost domain.
In the ghost realm, everything is controlled by evil spirits, who have the power to change the world. Similarly, ghost masters can control evil spirits to achieve their desired goals, such as killing people.
Meng Yi talked for a long time, and he thought that Shi Ye's contemptuous face would finally change, but he didn't see the expression he wanted on Shi Ye's face for a long time.
This is the ghost realm! How many ghost masters can't reach the peak in their entire lives, but he can achieve it in his forties. How can this not be amazing?
The world here feels like being in the underworld. The statue moves faster and faster, no longer as clumsy as at the beginning. No matter how fast these people run, they can't be faster than it. Several people have died at the feet of the statue they once worshipped.
He put the person down and looked at Meng Yi expressionlessly, saying, "Ghost tamers are here to get rid of harm for ordinary people. You control evil spirits to kill people, so what's the difference between you and evil spirits?"
Meng Yi: "My statue is not yet ready. It needs some human blood as a sacrifice. Once I kill you all, who will know it was me after I get out?"
"My friend, please stop struggling. Your Hebo concubine is a water element. She can't be defeated by others. It's better to give her to me now. It won't be a waste of your hard work."
There is no water source in the ghost realm, and even summoning the River God's concubine will be of no use.
Shi knew that he was very determined to die, so he didn't waste any more words and said to Cui Ziyao and the others, "Stay away. Whether you live or die will depend on your own ability."
"What?" Before Cui Ziyao could finish his question, he was blown by a gust of wind and couldn't open his eyes. He and Fang Zhitao quickly grabbed each other tightly to prevent themselves from flying out.
"The soul returns to its hometown, Gengjin, the green-faced general."
A golden light spread out from time to time with an unstoppable force, and instantly turned Meng Yi's ghost domain upside down. The sound of golden swords and iron horses suddenly rang out, and the black shadows instantly dissipated. The sky also changed from darkness to dusk, and the entire ghost domain became dozens of times larger.
While Wang Sheng was distracted, he saw many more corpses in armor around him, and a tattered flag not far away. He stood up suddenly and looked at Shi Ye.
Cui Ziyao hugged Fang Zhitao and started crying, "Where am I now? Wuuuu! If you want to die, just die quickly. Why are you scaring me?" He turned around and wanted to ask Fang Zhitao for protection, but when he saw that face up close, his eyes rolled back and he fell asleep.
Meng Yi stood up on the shoulder of the statue and patted his side, "Stop, I'm telling you to stop!" The statue stopped and stood there quietly, Shi Zhuzi still scanning the remaining people.
Meng Yi felt that he was dazzled. Otherwise, how could he see a teenager with a ghost domain? Yes, he must be dazzled.
.
Shi Ye's lips gradually turned pale, and he used Wu Men to support himself to avoid falling to the ground. In front of him, there was a man half-kneeling in heavy armor, also holding a sword.
The red tassel on its helmet was covered in dust, and its armor was covered in blood, making it impossible to tell whether it was from the enemy or its own.
Hearing the cries for help from the people, it moved, as if it had received a mission, and stood up shakily. It looked at the battlefield littered with corpses, and the two holes on its helmet told an endless story.
It will continue to fight.
