After returning empty-handed, Li Muge went back to the mass grave.
Meanwhile, Mo Yan and Qiong Qi had almost completely dug up Cui Ruyu's grave.
Mo Yan suppressed his disgust and used a branch to pry open the straw mat that had been covering Cui Ruyu's body, which was almost rotting and repulsive. Cui Ruyu's body was already decomposing.
But her stomach was forcibly cut open, and the baby inside was nowhere to be found.
Everything makes sense now.
It should be said that Cui Ruyu used her unborn child as a sacrifice, as a curse, to harm her child.
Slowly, day by day, it gnawed away at Cui Mingzhu's life.
“How could this be? Cui Ruyu is malicious, but she could never have imagined such a curse, and she has no power to do so.”
Cui Mingzhu said in disbelief.
“Mo Yan.” Li Muge floated beside Mo Yan: “I think Cui Mingzhu has a point, but just because Cui Ruyu is incompetent doesn’t mean that others are incompetent.”
"Moreover, I just saw a strange woman, who should be from Miao territory. If we want to break the curse, we should find her."
Mo Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Cui Mingzhu frowned: "Strange, who is this Young Master Mo talking to?"
Qiongqi had long disapproved of Cui Mingzhu's kindness towards Mo Yan. He sighed, "He's had this problem since he was a child. Try to understand him."
"Hmm." Cui Mingzhu nodded, but the pain in her back was getting worse; it must be the ghost baby gnawing at her flesh.
Seeing her like this, Qiongqi immediately felt sorry for her. Taking advantage of Cui Mingzhu's inattention, he used magic to temporarily suppress the ghost infant that had already manifested.
Li Muge and Mo Yan went to find the woman in black, and they concluded that she must be hiding in this mass grave to cultivate.
It's hard to find during the day.
Then let's do it tonight.
Qiongqi then slept on the ground in front of Cui Mingzhu's door to protect her.
Li Muge wasn't worried at all. With the Qiongqi, this thousand-year-old ferocious beast, guarding the gate, what kind of demon or monster would dare to provoke it?
Perhaps because he became a ghost, Li Muge particularly liked black, feeling more at ease with it.
The mass grave port was built on the back mountain, so there should be some ghosts there, but Li Muge and Mo Yan searched for several rounds.
The ghosts all huddled in their own graves, too afraid to come out.
It seemed as if it was afraid of something.
Li Muge lost patience, opened her palm, and used another finger to draw a talisman.
In an instant, the talisman transformed into a giant paper crane, and Li Muge pulled Mo Yan onto it.
Mo Yan appeared calm, but his eyes kept drifting to the hand that Li Muge was holding.
The paper crane carried them directly to the bottom of the cliff behind the mountain. Li Muge's heart tightened subconsciously, and she held Mo Yan's hand even tighter.
Mo Yan's lips curled up slightly.
I wish this cliff were even higher.
The paper crane made a sharp left turn and flew into a hidden cave entrance on the cliff face.
After arriving at the cave entrance.
The paper crane disappeared automatically, and Li Muge and Mo Yan landed on the ground. Only then did Li Muge realize that she had just been holding Mo Yan's hand, and she immediately let go.
But she couldn't let go, and she frowned immediately: "Mo Yan, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't let me take advantage of you?"
Mo Yan said in a serious tone: "Afraid of the dark? Article 120 of the Ghost Spirit Contract states that the contracted ghost spirit has the obligation to protect its master."
"You're still afraid?" Li Muge's eyes twitched as she looked at Mo Yan, then she shook her head helplessly: "Fine, then let the brave me protect you."
The cave was completely dark.
A ghostly flame ignited in Li Muge's palm as she glanced sideways at Mo Yan: "Is this alright? Let go of my hand."
"Don't you people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect all say that the women down the mountain are tigers or something? Mo Yan, why are you getting so close to tigers?"
Mo Yan cleared his throat: "Sect Master, don't be so self-centered. If there really is a tigress, then you must be the gentlest one among them."
Li Muge was stunned.
Mo Yan's words sounded like he was scolding her, but they also sounded like he wasn't.
Damn it, she didn't know how to talk back.
Deep inside the cave was a door. Mo Yan was about to push it open when Li Muge stopped him.
"etc."
"Are you stupid? Miao women are skilled in using Gu poison. What if there's Gu poison on this door? Watch me."
Li Muge used his magic to burn down the door before casually walking in.
Mo Yan pursed his lips. With Li Muge's direct methods, it was a miracle he hadn't been beaten to death when he went out.
Behind this door, it's like another world, where vengeful spirits and all sorts of vengeful ghosts are bound.
Upon seeing Li Muge and Mo Yan enter, everyone became agitated, as if they wanted to devour Mo Yan and Li Muge alive.
One of the ghosts had its belly cut open and its intestines spilling out. Li Muge recognized it; wasn't that Cui Ruyu?
Cui Ruyu's hands were tightly bound, and the ropes binding her emitted a bluish light. Her expression was contorted, and she looked extremely painful.
He kept shouting, "You're all going to die! You're all going to die!"
Just then, the sound of silver bells rang out all around, and Li Muge and Mo Yan were simultaneously drawn to the sound.
The woman in black walked out from the shadows, but she didn't even glance at Li Muge, instead focusing her gaze on Mo Yan.
"Yun Qi, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!" the woman's voice murmured sweetly.
The voice sounded like she was flirting with her lover.
Li Muge's face immediately turned ugly. Could it be that Yun Qi, who was already dead, had still cheated on her?
Mo Yan's mood immediately improved when he saw Li Muge's expression. It was no wonder that Li Muge missed Yun Qi so much.
Serves her right. It would be best to let her see Yun Qi's true colors today.
The woman in black wore a veil, but her eyes, which were extremely alluring, revealed her eyes: "Mo Yan, do you know how much I've missed you all these years?"
I miss your embrace.
"I miss your lips."
I miss your body temperature.
With each word spoken by the Miao woman in black, Li Muge's face darkened further.
She was somewhat puzzled.
When exactly did Yun Qi meet this Miao woman?
"think…"
The woman in black paused as she spoke, and after a short while, she looked up, her alluring eyes filled with murderous intent.
I want to kill you.
As soon as she finished speaking, countless Gu worms surged out from around her.
"Be careful." Li Muge pulled Mo Yan away and raised her hand to cast a spell to create a ring of fire where the two of them were standing.
"Young lady, you've misunderstood. This man isn't Yun Qi; his name is Mo Yan."
Li Muge hurriedly explained.
If she didn't explain things clearly, she was genuinely afraid that the woman in black would mistake Mo Yan for her father and kill him.
"How is this possible?" The woman in black stepped back in disbelief. "Impossible, he is Yun Qi."
“Why not, girl? There are plenty of people in this world who look exactly alike,” Li Muge patiently advised.
"By the way, you also placed the curse on Cui Mingzhu, didn't you? She has no grudge against you. Why don't you remove the curse quickly?"
The woman in black smiled sarcastically: "How could that be? If Cui Mingzhu has anyone to blame, it's her good sister. She'd rather be reincarnated than not have children. She's become a vengeful ghost to feed my Gu worms. In exchange, of course I'll fulfill her wish."
"Let Cui Mingzhu die with her intestines ruptured."
