Chapter 181 Apprentice vs. Immortal (58)
(The word count has been increased in the previous chapter, so please check it out, everyone!)
He was in a chaotic white fog, everything around him seemed a little blurry. The fog clung to his body and seemed harmless.
He paused for a few seconds, silently chanting a spell, his eyes lit up with blue light, and when he looked again, the surrounding white mist suddenly disappeared from his sight, but the fairy boat did not appear either.
He looked around again, stunned. This eye technique didn't seem to be working! It couldn't even break through a puzzle.
A faint sound of gongs and drums came from afar. He had a bad feeling and quickly hid behind a tree, covering his body with withered grass.
He gathered magic power in his palm and a blue light flashed. Only then did he feel relieved that he could still use his spiritual power.
But he didn't go out. Instead, he wanted to see what was going to happen here. It was probably related to the village.
He squatted quietly behind the tree, looking towards the source of the sound, his eyes still glowing with a faint blue light.
Soon, a group of people in red clothes, beating drums and gongs, carrying a sedan chair, came over in a festive manner, and the clear and ethereal sound of bells rang out in the woods.
As they got closer, their faces gradually emerged.
When Yu Ying saw their faces clearly, he found that they were not smiling, but all had sad faces, and their faces were extremely pale, with a purple mark on their necks.
Yu Ying stared at them closely. This was obviously a wedding procession, so why did they look so horrible?
After careful observation, he found that they were just some ordinary wandering ghosts. This kind of ghosts would only appear in places that made them toss and turn sleeplessly and could not let go of the things in their hearts, and would keep repeating their previous activities.
But there is something wrong with so many wandering ghosts appearing in one place.
If they all miss this place, it only means that something really happened here. Another possibility is that someone forced them to stay here.
Yu Ying touched his chin and secretly watched them in the dark. He couldn't go out now, otherwise all these wandering ghosts would disappear.
No matter what threat they buy, they will disappear at the slightest disturbance, but they will appear again the next day, repeating the same cycle as before.
So, he just squatted here, and judging from Yougui's expression, he must have been forced to stay here.
If so, who would keep them here?
He held onto the tree with his left hand, a look of confusion on his handsome face.
Soon, wandering ghosts passed by him. He quietly retracted his head and only stuck it out again after they passed.
Using his magic power to lift his feet off the ground, making sure not to make any noise, he followed quietly to see where they were going.
As they walked along, they suddenly came to a rather secluded place. The trees around were dense and tall, and the road was difficult to walk on. The sedan chair carried by the wandering ghosts was shaking.
A gust of wind blew the curtain open, and Yu Ying could clearly see that there was nothing inside the sedan.
At this moment, the wandering ghosts in front stopped moving, and then looked at one place at the same time, as if something was coming.
Seeing this, the matchmaker in front of the sedan chair waved to the others and then took them all away, leaving only the sedan chair in place.
Yu Ying decided to look at the sedan chair, intuitively feeling that this would be more useful.
Unexpectedly, after watching for a long time, nothing happened. The blood-red sedan fell on the rugged road, surrounded by withered trees, which made the atmosphere even more gloomy.
The wind came from nowhere, blowing the curtains and the silver bells on the top of the sedan chair. The sedan chair was empty, but the silver bells rang even more violently.
Yu Ying couldn't help but touch his arm, and he got goosebumps.
Just as the last gust of wind blew away, Yu Ying clearly saw a bloodstain spreading on the empty red seat, the bright red was glaring.
Yu Ying caught this scene and was stunned. Why is there blood?
Suddenly he hid himself more securely and looked around. Could there be some other evil spirit about to appear?
After waiting for a long time and seeing no sign of anything happening, he thought he was being too paranoid.
He was confused looking at the sedan chair. It was parked there without any movement. He wanted to go look for those wandering ghosts again.
Fortunately, the matchmaker came back with other people not long after.
The wandering ghosts lifted the sedan chair again and continued to move forward.
Yu Ying still followed them quietly not far behind. After a while, the sedan stopped again, but this time it was very strange.
The matchmaker tremblingly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. The next moment, her eyes became fierce and she slapped him. It seemed that she hit the air and almost stumbled and fell.
She quickly steadied herself, as if nothing had happened, lowered the curtain of the sedan chair, and signaled the bearers to continue moving forward.
This time there was nothing to worry about. They arrived at a flat road. Yu Ying looked forward and saw many villagers' houses.
He was so scared that he took several steps back. He wondered if he would follow her into the village.
Just as he was panicking, the wandering ghost in front of him froze and stood still without moving.
The next moment, a familiar mist came and enveloped their bodies. Then their figures gradually dissipated as if corroded. Although it was silent, Yu Ying still saw their distorted profiles.
He was horrified and wanted to run away immediately, not daring to stay any longer.
Unexpectedly, just when Yougui's figure completely disappeared, the surroundings spread like water waves, and everything around him gradually disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still in the white fog. The visibility was much higher than when he jumped into the fog. He saw a ball of gray fog not far ahead, and the two did not blend into each other.
If I guessed correctly, it was a village.
He quietly took a step back and looked around. It was exactly the same place he had come to with the wedding procession.
His eyes moved, this time he should be back.
Without using his eyes, he directly released his spiritual sense and indeed captured the fairy boat.
He didn't hesitate any longer and quickly rushed towards the fairy boat.
Qin Yun'er was sitting on a stool practicing with a frown on her face, while red spiritual energy was swirling around her.
Suddenly, there was a "bang"
She panicked and looked up quickly, only to find that it was Yu Ying who came back.
She stood up happily, "Senior Brother Yu, you are finally back."
Yu Ying glanced at the mist-covered sky and asked, "Has it been a long time?"
Qin Yun'er nodded, then revealed a look of fear, "An hour has passed, and I almost thought you, Senior Brother, had met with an accident."
Yu Ying: "Junior sister, can't you think of me as your senior brother? I'm back safely."
He suddenly grinned, and pretended to be cool and casual as he brushed away the hair from his forehead with one hand, "What can a mere fog do to me?"
Qin Yuner looked at him silently, without saying a word, letting him perform.
After he finished his performance, he pretended to be enthusiastic and said:
"As expected of you, Senior Brother Yu. Did you find anything?"
Yu Ying nodded, very satisfied with her praise, and told her everything he had seen in the fog before.
Qin Yuner's expression kept changing, with the same color palette, which made Yu Ying very curious.
