Chapter 106: Stealing Home
The two of them sat opposite each other, and Gong Mengbi and she still had the leisure to drink tea.
Granny Shi asked, "Can you trust your sworn brother?"
Gong Mengbi said, "He is a loyal and honest man, so of course he can be trusted. Is Mother-in-law still worried that I don't know how to judge people?"
Granny Shi laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just afraid they won't believe you."
Speaking of this, Gong Mengbi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Judging from his experience, foxes are quite notorious.
Granny Shi was just trying to ease her emotions. She had been guarding the eastern corner of Longpan Mountain for many years because of the evil beast General Banyin. Now that she really had to face this evil beast, she felt uneasy.
Granny Shi said, "Tell me more about your plan."
Gong Mengbi started from the beginning: "General Ban Yin wants to cultivate to the sixth rank, but perhaps his own aptitude is limited, and there is no way forward. He can only take the path of gathering people and becoming king."
"From what I've seen of his actions, I believe that if he wants to become king and raise a spirit god, he needs the combined efforts of three factors to have a chance."
"The first is his signature skill: gathering ghost minions to become the king of ghosts. The second is his legacy in Longpan Mountain, gathering monsters to become the king of monsters. The third is his current plan: inciting refugees, gathering popularity, and becoming the king of humans."
"I don't know if he needs all three paths to reach the sixth level, or if he has already tried two and still can't, and needs a third to complete it."
"But no matter what he does, these three points are his foundation and cannot be lost."
"I now ask my brother to attack his lair. Unless he is willing to abandon his inheritance in the mountains, he will have no choice but to return for assistance."
"Although the refugees are gathering now, they haven't been cornered enough to rebel. The situation isn't ripe yet. We can put it aside for now and deal with it in a few days. But if we ignore his legacy in the mountains, it will be destroyed today."
"So he had no other choice but to return for help."
Gong Mengbi said quietly, "But this presents another problem. The ghosts that have possessed the refugees cannot move without authorization, otherwise the plan he has worked so hard to set up will be ruined."
"So he had no choice but to put the henchmen aside, split his forces, take some back with him for reinforcements, and leave the rest among the refugees. This divided his forces and weakened his strength."
"As for what's left, it will be a tough battle. Whether we can win depends entirely on our own strength."
Granny Shi said with relief, "He is indeed a young man, full of strategy and ability. I had originally planned to wait until my life was almost over, then send the little fox away and go find him alone to fight him to the death."
Gong Mengbi said: "There is no need to fight to the death now, but if we can't win, I'm afraid mother-in-law will have to take action secretly."
Granny Shi smiled and said, "This is already a million times better than I imagined."
Granny Shi finished her tea and said, "If Fox Hill isn't the final battlefield, then where is it?"
Gong Mengbi said: "In Baie Mountain."
Granny Shi stretched.
Such a kind-faced, hunchbacked old woman suddenly grew taller.
Her shadow lengthened as she moved, becoming more graceful, with a soft waist and an indescribable charm.
Gong Mengbi was stunned.
Grandma Shi's gray hair turned black, and the wrinkles on her face gradually disappeared, revealing a smooth and beautiful face.
Her long and slender eyebrows slanted into her temples, and her charming eyes were like the moon in a deep pool, hazy and misty.
Granny Shi removed her headscarf, pulled her hair back into a bun, and secured it with a rattan hairpin. The two wild flowers bloomed on the hairpin and in her hair, but they were far inferior to her own beauty.
Seeing Gong Mengbi's dumbfounded expression, Granny Shi laughed, "Don't be so surprised. I was his former master too. How could I go to see this evil beast now in my old and frail state?"
Gong Mengbi looked at her face and said, "Now I understand why Senior Qi Xiu has been devoted to Mother-in-law all his life."
Granny Shi's eyes curved up with a look of nostalgia: "I'll go ahead and wait for you at Baie Mountain."
Gong Mengbi said: "If we meet other friends on the road, they will definitely be shocked."
Granny Shi waved her hand, as graceful as the wind on top of a cloud-filled mountain.
Only after Grandma Shi left did Gong Mengbi lose control of himself and his eyes almost became wet.
He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "I have achieved what I sought. I should be happy. I should be happy."
He closed his eyes, and only his slightly trembling eyelashes revealed the excitement in his heart.
In Xiangzhu Ridge, the green-clothed ghost handed a Taiyue talisman engraved on a piece of jade to Xiang Jun.
"The master said that the Taiyue Talisman can guide ghosts. If you encounter a ghost, all Miss Xiangjun needs to do is bury it in the ground and cover it with the talisman. Then it will be transferred to the underworld and no longer under the control of General Banyin."
"Please act quickly and make sure to defeat Bai'e Mountain before General Banyin returns."
Fatty Kang stood up first, his tall figure suppressing the green-clothed ghosts and gods in his shadow: "Let's go, everyone."
"It's just Bai'e Mountain. A few little demons guarding the mountain can be defeated in a snap of a finger!"
Fatty Kang controlled the earth's energy, swept up a group of people, and rushed towards General Ban Yin's territory.
The rain had not stopped yet, so the ghosts patrolling General Ban Yin’s territory could not get out and had to stay in Baie Mountain.
Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are all deadly to weak ghosts.
Patrolling at this time would mean losing troops and generals. It would in turn deplete one's own strength. Therefore, during broad daylight and strong winds and rainstorms, patrols in General Banyin's territory would decrease, while the defense of Baie Mountain would increase.
Gong Mengbi wanted to take advantage of the rain to catch General Ban Yin off guard.
Otherwise, if the minions report the incident, General Ban Yin will return too quickly and there will be no way to wipe out Bai'e Mountain in time.
Unlike other places in the territory, Baie Mountain is home to a large number of ghosts and demons.
The ground was covered with bones and the wind was blowing coldly.
The dry bones were connected together. If Gong Mengbi were to look at the qi, it would feel like the huge mouth of a ferocious beast, with a fishy wind and a foul smell.
Captain Lang and Captain Hua were General Ban Yin's right-hand men, overseeing his mountain base. Their strength wasn't high, only ninth rank, but their agility made them more than capable of commanding the monsters.
After all, the powerful eighth-grade monster has already entered the mountain king's stomach and will not cause any trouble to their management.
Seeing the yellow dust rolling and the mighty momentum rushing towards the mountain, Captain Lang was the first to notice and shouted in panic: "It's a disaster! It's a disaster! The wild boar is here!"
Captain Hua fell from the tree and looked at the billowing yellow mist. He hurriedly shouted, "Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy!"
The entire Baie Mountain immediately started to move, and countless ghosts rushed towards the yellow energy.
Kang An laughed grimly and said, "Little ghost!"
The yellow gas formed into clouds that were as thick as mountains, wrapping up the rushing ghosts and pulling them into the wet soil.
Xiangjun raised the jade piece engraved with the Taiyue talisman. She mobilized the power of mountains, rivers and the earth, covered the Taiyue talisman on the soil, and in an instant, buried the minions under the soil in their resting place.
That is Haoli in Taishan Prefecture, the final resting place of evil spirits.
