Chapter 52
In a huge deep pit on the back mountain, an old man in white clothes was standing on the edge of the pit and looking down.
The bottom of the pit was already unfathomable, and now that it was blocked by the barrier, it was even more difficult to see what was happening below.
Shi Ye walked up to the old man and said, "Master."
The old man looked at him, nodded, and waved him over. Shi Ye walked over and looked at the bottom of the pit with the old man.
"Since you came back, I've been in a hurry to let you use the ghost realm. I haven't had time to tell you what this thing behind the master's mountain is. You should know about the underworld."
Shiye nodded: "I know."
"There's a place in the underworld called Purgatory, where the most vicious and evil ghosts are held. Few ghosts can endure the punishments in Purgatory. They can't escape, but they can't endure it either, so they can only seek a way out."
Shi Ye frowned and said, "This pit is connected to Purgatory?"
The old man nodded. "That's right. The underworld's ghosts can't control it, so we at Yuntai Mountain have to take care of it. To protect this pit, the mountain masters of Yuntai Mountain have used the ghost domain to suppress it. By my generation, the pit was on the verge of collapse."
He looked at this extremely talented disciple lovingly. He thought this was the only person he had ever seen who could use multiple ghost realms at the same time. This was probably fate.
"Xiaoye, the war situation in the north is still tense. The Yincha is short of manpower, so Purgatory won't have enough guards. It will also affect the pit entrance in the back mountain. We ghost drivers shouldn't interfere with the normal operation of the world, but we can only go to assist Prince Huai'an. Now it seems that Qianfan's vision is broader than mine. But you have to work with Qianfan to solve the problems in the north, and don't use the ghost domain too frequently."
Shi Ye was a little worried, "Master, if I leave, what will happen to the pit entrance?"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. He straightened his back, exuding a peerless and independent demeanor. "You know what I, your master, do. I can still hold on and wait for you to come back. It's just that, ahem, I just caught a cold a few days ago."
Shi Ye: ...
So that's why he was called back?
As the old man approached, he squinted at him and said, as if he knew everything: "I heard that the young man your senior brother wrote to is now in the capital. You have suppressed the pit this time, so you are safe for the time being. Go quickly, we don't need you on the mountain yet."
Shi Ye blushed instantly and dodged, "Master, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe, do you think your master is an old antique who knows nothing? Go quickly and come back early, otherwise you will have to collect your master's body." The master of Yuntai Mountain has reached this age and has no scruples about anything. The only thing he regrets is his senior brother.
"Brother, I don't know if you are still alive or not. You didn't even come back to see me, and you left me here alone. You are so cool."
Shiye bowed to him and left.

Outside the Changqiu Palace, someone walked out of the palace with a gloomy face. This was an outsider entering the harem, but the palace people along the way seemed not to notice this person's trace. They all walked past him and no one was surprised.
Chen Kanglian stopped before entering Changqiu Palace. He raised his eyelids and glanced to the side, then walked to a corner where a few stones were placed.
He bent down to pick up another small stone that was thrown nearby, knocked it, then tilted his head and revealed a strange smile.
After catching people for so long, life is finally not so boring anymore.
Du Ruo in the palace was rubbing the queen's head. When he saw Chen Kanglian coming, he stepped aside.
Chen Kanglian bowed his head and called out "Your Majesty," then placed the stone on the small table in front of the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, someone has disturbed the formation outside the palace. Was it a palace maid?"
The queen slowly opened her eyes, took a look, and then closed them again. "I have taken care of them all. No one will touch your things."
"By the way, have all the things been sent to the North?"
Chen Kanglian: "The ghost riders we captured have been taken under the control of Xia Yue and transported to the northern border. Don't worry, Your Majesty." He held the stone in his palm, his eyes filled with excitement. "It seems that there is a rat in the palace."
The Queen snorted, "Who would touch these things? You are too..." She paused for a moment, "I remember now, the Crown Prince is back."
Du Ruo seemed to be lost in thought. "That day, I saw a strange man getting off the Crown Prince's carriage. Zhao Hongde told me that he was one of the Crown Prince's newly recruited staff members. Could he be that person?"
Chen Kanglian: "I heard that the prince made a good friend in Pingyang City. This friend came from the south and looks very similar to someone I know. It seems that it is this little mouse."
Du Ruo: "Are you sure you know him? What if it's not him?"
"We'll know if it's that person after a try." After Chen Kang finished his reply, he took out a talisman, wrapped the stone inside, and then took a fire stick to light it. The talisman paper burned out instantly, and a little white smoke floated in the air, slowly pointing in a direction.
Du Ruo: "Eastern Palace?"
The Queen stared at the wisp of white smoke, her red lips curled up. "I wonder what the Crown Prince is doing back in the palace. My good boy is disobedient. Does he think he can get rid of me by bringing some people back? If it weren't for me, he would have been killed by those bitches in the harem long ago. How could he have become the Crown Prince?"
"Chen Kanglian, take care of this person for me."
Chen Kanglian smiled slightly: "As you wish."
After Chen Kanglian hurriedly retreated, he walked quickly down the corridor. A simple man in cloth clothes came towards him. Chen Kanglian walked beside him with interest and watched him walk past, then he sneered and left.
The man walked forward step by step, and suddenly stopped in front. He turned to look at the empty back, then turned around and continued walking. His face did not show any emotion, and he was still gentle and elegant.
It’s Chen Kanglian.
Xia Yue noticed that Chen Kanglian was walking very fast, as if he was in a hurry to do something. However, since he had just come out of Changqiu Palace, it was probably an order from the Queen.
He wasn't interested in Chen Kanglian's affairs, but Chen Kanglian had always ignored him, so why was he looking at him like that this time? Could this incident have something to do with him?
Xia Yue stopped.
He was originally going to go to Changqiu Palace, but he changed his mind.
At the corner, a piece of green clothes fluttered by, and the scholar who was supposed to appear at the gate of Changqiu Palace disappeared.
.
East Palace.
In the study, one person was sitting and two people were standing.
One of them leaned against the table with his arms folded, looking at another person who was standing. The person who was standing felt particularly uneasy being looked at like this.
Han Tan looked at Yin Jianyue behind the table and said, "Your Highness, why did you call me here?"
Wang Sheng interrupted him and said, "I asked you to come."
Han Tan: "You?" He still remembered that when he was in Pingyang City, it was this person and that person who had caused him so much trouble that he almost lost the paper bride he had worked so hard to find.
Although he didn't know what happened at that time and why the paper bride didn't obey him, his intuition was that there was something wrong with the person in front of him, and that he was very strange.
"Yes, I need you to release the remaining evil spirits one by one."
Han Tan's face changed. He turned to look at Yin Jianyue, who was staring at Wang Sheng, ignoring him completely. He gritted his teeth, and under pressure from Yin Jianyue and the man behind Wang Sheng, he had no choice but to release the evil spirit he had.
The Paper Bride is the only evil ghost that has a ghost domain. Wang Sheng took a look and found that the remaining three are not as powerful as Liang Ruoyan, but they are okay. After all, Shi Ye’s evil ghost is not comparable to that of ordinary ghost masters.
Next, Han Tan watched in horror as Wang Sheng easily captured his evil spirits one by one. Even the most powerful ghost handlers had to find the evil spirits in the ghost domain by themselves. He had never seen anyone who could directly turn the evil spirits of ghost handlers into his own evil spirits like Wang Sheng did.
Han Tan looked at the back of his hand. There was no black line on the back of his hand now, and it was all on Wang Sheng's face.
Wang Sheng waved his hand, asking him to take the evil spirits back. Han Tan found that he could control himself again. Wang Sheng saw his nervous look and said to him kindly, "What are you afraid of? Don't worry, it's still yours. I can only borrow it. By the way, please don't stay too far away from me for the time being."
Wang Sheng couldn't just sit there and wait for someone to come over. He had to go and explore the way first, otherwise he would know nothing about the other party and he would be unsure.
Yin Jianyue looked at Wang Sheng and felt genuinely happy. Most people become different after experiencing the destruction of their families, and Wang Sheng was still so young back then, and he hadn't been implicated or angered by the Empress. His cousin was still the same cousin he remembered.
"Cousin, there are two ghost controllers around our mother. I have never seen them, but they work for her and are very capable. Han Tan's evil spirits alone cannot compete with them, otherwise..." Although Yin Jianyue didn't want to mention the man who kidnapped his cousin whom he had just met, he had to admit that he was very powerful.
"Why don't you call that guy here too? He snatched you away and then didn't care about anything else. There aren't many good things in the world. If he doesn't come, I will never let him get close to you again!"
Wang Sheng: ...How could he never have known that his cousin had so much going on in his mind? What was he thinking about?
"You've been spending all your life..."
“Boom!”
A huge muffled thunder sounded outside the house, startling the three people inside.
Wang Sheng walked to the window and looked up at the sky. It had been sunny and cloudless just a moment ago, but he hadn't expected the weather to change so quickly. A few drops of rain fell. He reached out his hand, trying to catch one, but someone pulled him back.
Han Tan raised his head and looked cautiously at the dark sky. The sky seemed to be oppressive with dark clouds covering a city. In just a few moments, the sky turned completely dark. His face looked a little solemn.
Yin Jianyue also stood up. Although he was not a ghost rider, he had lived in the capital for so many years. This was the first time he saw the sky turn dark in broad daylight. He subconsciously felt that there was something strange about the rain.
Han Tan was the only real ghost handler present. He said solemnly, "It's the ghost realm. Someone has dragged us into it."
