The little boy's face became uglier and uglier.
Zhang Meng and the others listened to the conversation between the two, one big and one small. The four of them felt like they were being scratched by a cat and wanted to know what was going on.
As the four of them were suffering, the little boy suddenly said, "Okay, I agree to your condition, but you also have to promise me that I will stay with this body forever, until the end of its life."
Gu Mingtai's lips curled up slightly, "Deal."
The little boy didn't smile much. He had a sullen, childish face. He closed his eyes again and began to tremble all over again. This time it took almost five minutes to end.
By the time he finished, the little boy's face was covered in sweat, and he looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water. "I've figured it out for you. What you're looking for is in a river at the westernmost end of this village. But don't underestimate that river. We call it the Yin River because we see ghosts of the dead wandering there every night."
Gu Mingdian immediately turned around and looked at Zhang Meng and the others, "Okay, we've found it. Let's get ready to go there."
Just as the five of them were about to leave, the little boy suddenly climbed down from the bed excitedly and stopped Gu Mingtai. "You're not keeping your word. You just told me that if I help you figure out where that thing is, you can help me occupy this body forever."
Gu Mingtai smiled and said, "I did say that, but I seem to have forgotten to tell you that when I find the thing and pass by here again, I will naturally come here to help you fulfill your wish."
The little boy looked at him angrily and said, "You are not keeping your word. If I had known you were a guy who didn't keep his word, I wouldn't have helped you with this."
"No problem, don't worry, I won't lie to you, I will definitely do what I promised you."
After saying this, Gu Mingtai took Zhang Meng's hand, looked at Youhui and the others, and took the lead to walk out of the room.
Xiao Wang, who was plucking chicken feathers in the yard, stopped immediately when he saw the five of them leaving. He chased after them and asked loudly, "Hey, aren't you five staying for dinner?"
Zhang Meng turned around and smiled at him, "No more, you two brothers can eat by yourselves."
When Xiao Wang heard this, he smiled so excitedly that he immediately waved to Zhang Meng and the others, "That's great, but take care. I won't see you off."
With Xiaowang's extremely warm farewell, the five people and the baby headed towards the west of the village.
Worried that the little prodigy's predictions might be inaccurate, Zhang Meng specifically called out Aye Ghost King to ask, "What's going on? Was the little prodigy right?"
Before replying, it secretly glanced at the Suzaku standing on Gu Mingtai's shoulder. When Suzaku looked back, it immediately retracted its gaze and whispered, "The place that the little prodigy said is correct. The last jade bead you are looking for is indeed in that Yin River. But you must be careful. That Yin River leads to the underworld. The souls of the dead and homeless in this world will drift there. Only those souls with paper money on them can board the ghost ship leading to the underworld."
"Why should I be so careful? They're just ghosts. I just need to avoid disturbing them, right?"
Zhang Meng glared at him unhappily, thinking that this Aye Ghost King was just an alarmist.
Seeing her underestimate her, the Ghost King Aye immediately scolded her, "Zhang Meng, what I said is true. Don't think I'm trying to scare you. Do you know that in addition to those ghosts, there are also many evil spirits in that place? The most terrifying thing is that if you want to get the jade bead back, you will have to face a kind of black fish from the underworld."
When Xiao Ling heard this, she hurriedly asked him, "Aye Ghost King, please tell us what exactly makes this black fish so powerful?"
Ghost King Aye glanced at her, his gaze still fixed on Zhang Meng. "Let me tell you, that black fish swam from Hell, so its abilities are far superior to those of the fish in the mortal world. It can eat human souls. Furthermore, it's said to have a powerful ability, but I don't know what it is."
Xiao Ling was extremely anxious when she heard this. This person actually didn't know about such an important matter. "No, Aye Ghost King, aren't you the Ghost King? Haven't you been in Hell for thousands of years? How could you not know the most powerful ability of this black fish? Aren't you kidding us by saying this?"
Of course, Xiao Ling said the last sentence in a very low voice.
Even so, Aye Ghost King heard everything clearly and immediately looked at Xiao Ling with displeasure. "What do you know? I, although I have lived in hell for more than a thousand years, but, but I was imprisoned in the Thirteenth and Twelveth Hells. I can't go anywhere. How can I know what the greatest ability of this black fish is?"
Xiao Ling shrank her neck, avoiding his dissatisfied glare, and whispered, "If you don't know, then you don't know. Why are you so loud? It's scary."
Aye Ghost King snorted loudly and immediately turned into a white light and flew into Zhang Meng's backpack.
During the rest of the journey, everyone was thinking about the black fish that Aye Ghost King mentioned, and the car was very quiet.
Occasionally, Xiao Zhuang cried, and Zhang Meng fed him goat milk. After he was full, the little guy fell asleep contentedly.
After being quiet for over an hour, the car soon began to hear faint voices again, and the voices were still in Zhang Meng's ears.
Xiao Ling, who couldn't stand silence, had sat down next to Zhang Meng at some point, curiously sizing up the little zombie in Zhang Meng's arms. "Zhang Meng, even though the little zombie is just a little zombie, he's prettier than any other child I've ever seen, don't you think?"
After hearing what she said, Zhang Meng couldn't help but lower her head and look at the sleeping little zombie with her.
