Chapter 6
Just like now, Ye Zi is not flying aimlessly with him. Luo Hengzhi can clearly see that they are closely following the place where the death aura is the most concentrated.
Inside the house, the deathly aura appeared to be pouring in from all directions, but in reality, 80% of the deathly aura originated from the most concentrated spot.
After leaving the Huo family, the colors that Luo Hengzhi saw gradually became more diverse. In addition to the black death aura, there were also various colored gases flowing in the air, and various colored gases also surrounded and flowed around the pedestrians.
As he could see more and more colors, Luo Hengzhi clearly felt his eyes were sore and his vision was blurred, as if he had suddenly become 800 degrees nearsighted, and everything he saw was a jumble of moving 'mosaics'.
"Wait a minute!" Luo Hengzhi stopped, grabbed Ye Zi's hand tightly, and said in a panicked tone.
What happened? How could he suddenly go blind!
Ye Zi stopped and turned around to see Luo Hengzhi with lifeless eyes and a panicked look.
"I had completely forgotten." Ye Zi said indifferently, then released Luo Hengzhi and looked down to rummage through the bracelet.
Forgot what? Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi's vision went completely black; he could no longer see.
The sudden blindness caused Luo Hengzhi's psychological defenses to collapse, and she could only turn to Ye Zi beside her for help, frantically grabbing at Ye Zi's sleeve: "Ye Zi, I suddenly can't see."
"Yes, I ate it." Ye Zi took out a protective pill and put it into Luo Hengzhi's mouth.
"What?" Although Luo Hengzhi asked, he had already obediently swallowed the question, because he couldn't see anything in mid-air and had no choice but to rely on and trust Ye Zi!
After swallowing the round pill, a faint herbal taste lingered in her mouth. Was it Chinese medicine? Without thinking much about it, Luo Hengzhi blinked hard, but her vision remained pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.
"Don't rush, close your eyes." Ye Zi could see that Luo Hengzhi was really scared, so she patiently explained, "Your body needs time to adapt, it's just that your eyes can't handle this right away."
Ye Zi's voice was clear and cold. Luo Hengzhi usually thought that this person's tone was indifferent and emotionless, but at this moment, this calm and unwavering voice was like a clear spring, able to calm the mind and focus the spirit, instantly calming Luo Hengzhi's anxiety and making Luo Hengzhi calm down.
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Luo Hengzhi closed her eyes, waiting for them to adjust.
"I can see some things that I couldn't see before." Ye Zi's tone was as calm as ever, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.
This calmness was infecting Luo Hengzhi, soothing her thoughts and calming her panic.
"Take off your clothes."
"Huh? What?" Luo Hengzhi had just calmed down and focused her mind when she suddenly heard "take off clothes." Why would she take off her clothes in mid-air in public? Luo Hengzhi even thought she had misheard.
Ye Zi didn't repeat herself. She snapped her fingers, and instantly Luo Hengzhi was stripped naked except for her underwear.
[Good foundation; it's clear that even after being confined to a wheelchair, they haven't neglected physical training. Good job.]
"You...you, what are you doing?" Hearing Ye Zi suddenly comment on his body, Luo Hengzhi was so frightened that he hugged himself tightly. In broad daylight, even though he had heavily covered himself with a concealment talisman.
No, if I take off my clothes, won't the invisibility talisman become ineffective? It's shameful to be naked in mid-air!
What is this cultivator up to so suddenly?
Ye Zi took out the magic robe prepared by her junior brother, raised her hand and waved it. In the blink of an eye, Luo Hengzhi was already fully dressed.
This is a white Taoist robe, simple in style, but Luo Hengzhi is a natural clothes hanger. The simple clothes look extraordinary on her, exuding a transcendent and ascetic aura.
[Yes, this is what they mean by "muscular when undressed, slim when dressed"—it suits me perfectly, makes me look great! Very nice! I'll dress like this from now on.]
Ye Zi's lips curled up as she couldn't help but admire the beauty before her.
Luo Hengzhi was utterly speechless and shut up: "..." How could this cultivator be so shameless!
"When can I see it?" Luo Hengzhi asked in a muffled voice, a little angry.
"That's enough." Ye Zi took out a lucky charm and tied it around Luo Hengzhi's waist.
When Luo Hengzhi opened her eyes again, her vision had returned, and she could see clearly again.
He looked down and saw Ye Zi helping him tie a talisman. The talisman emitted a faint light, and at this moment, Ye Zi seemed to have lost some of her usual aloofness and coldness.
"The clothes, pills, and amulets were gifts prepared by my junior brothers for you. I forgot to give them to you this morning." Ye Zi continued on her way with Luo Hengzhi, explaining simply, "The clothes can prevent ordinary evil energy from entering the body. As for your eyes, it's because of the Daoist partner contract."
Luo Hengzhi's fingers tugged at the amulet and held it in his palm. It was another Daoist Couple Contract. What other surprises did this Daoist Couple Contract hold that he didn't know about!
It turned out that the three children had prepared a gift for her. Luo Hengzhi thought that she should also prepare a return gift. How could she give a return gift in a way that was neither too extravagant nor too ostentatious? She would leave this matter to Luo Yi when she got back.
When Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi arrived at the place where the death aura was most concentrated, there were already many people watching.
Ye Zi looked around and found no special beings besides ordinary people.
We're too late!
Ye Zi pulled Luo Hengzhi through the crowd, and before them appeared a huge, dug-out pit of corpses, from which a dense aura of death continued to spread.
The crowd of onlookers inevitably got some of the contamination on their clothes, and some even inhaled it. However, these onlookers were completely unaware of this and continued to approach out of curiosity. Some even brought their children with them.
"This is so cruel, who could have done this?"
"Who knows? A passing construction team discovered it by chance. So many lives lost, it's a big deal. We've already reported it to the city lord."
"Yes, so many lives lost, it's truly tragic. Since our villagers will be passing through here frequently in the future, just to be on the safe side, we should invite a master to perform a ritual here."
“This is the only way back to the village, so we should hire someone to perform a ritual.” Nearby villagers gathered together and went to the village chief to discuss the matter.
"These two must be masters too, they're wearing Taoist robes." A burly man with dark skin said loudly to the villagers who had just left when he saw Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi appear.
“This isn’t a martial arts uniform at all; it’s clearly the retro clothing that’s all the rage among young people these days. My little girl keeps buying these kinds of clothes online, saying they’re a modernized version incorporating contemporary elements,” an older woman said, enthusiastically explaining to the burly, dark-skinned man.
"You're really not masters? I recognize this guy in his Taoist robes." The dark-skinned, burly man asked Ye Zilu Hengzhi.
Ye Zi looked around and saw even mischievous children throwing stones into the mortuary. Every time she got close, she inhaled death energy, and she would inevitably fall ill when she got back.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight and many people had gathered, so the yang energy was still quite strong. Otherwise, the souls below would probably have already escaped the pit of corpses and rushed towards these children first.
"I'll perform the ritual. You organize the people here to stay away from the mass grave," Ye Zi said to the dark-skinned man.
"Right? I told you it was a Taoist robe. I've seen truly extraordinary masters, but none of them are as good-looking as you two. Alright, Master, please wait a moment. I'll have them step back." The burly man agreed and shouted loudly at the crowd, "Everyone step back, everyone step back! The master is about to perform a ritual to help the souls of the dead pass away. For your safety, please step back as much as possible."
"What? Two young people dare to call themselves masters? They're obviously unreliable!" The science popularization lady was the first to retort and question.
"Yes, what kind of master is so young? These young people are just fooling people." Someone echoed loudly.
Ye Zi ignored them and, seeing the crowd disperse, leaped into the air and stood upright in mid-air.
The older women and followers who hadn't dispersed yet were so frightened by what they saw that they dared not say a word and ran away.
Seeing this, everyone quickly stepped back again, and the adults reached out to cover the mouth of the child who was about to scream. The noisy scene instantly became quiet and silent.
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi, who knew to use a concealment talisman when flying, but as soon as she landed, she acted like this, completely forgetting about the no-fly zone at the foot of the mountain.
However, Luo Hengzhi had to admit that people were completely unaware of the dense death aura emanating from the scene as they moved through it.
If he possessed Ye Zi's strength, he wouldn't care about others' reactions at all! He'd get rid of the death aura first!
Ye Zi made hand seals and chanted incantations. The souls in the corpse pit floated out one after another. After leaving the corpse pit, Ke saw that many souls were broken and damaged, indicating that they had been tortured before they died.
Ye Zi looked at the remnant soul. The people here did not die at the same time. Who would go to such lengths to gather these corpses here and condense death energy? Could it be just to take Huo Zhongkui's life?
If he has this ability, he might as well just show up and kill Huo Zhongkui. The fact that he went to such lengths shows that his purpose is not so simple!
The spirit sword flew out, purifying the dense death energy of the corpse pit, and then flew to the outer circle of people, purifying the death energy that the surrounding people had picked up and inhaled.
Have you ever suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated?
"Me too. When that sword was twirled above my head, I felt relaxed all over, and even my breathing became easier."
"It's here! It's flying this way!" The child couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw the spirit sword.
"Is this the legendary sword? It's amazing, it can even fly on its own."
Luo Hengzhi saw that the spirit sword had cleansed the deathly aura from the crowd, and even flew over several children and circled them a few more times.
What a fine sword! It's so full of spirit. Luo Hengzhi wants to own it too. If Master Yunqing takes him as a disciple, will he be able to cultivate in the future?
The spirit sword flew towards the remnant soul, purifying the malevolent energy that had formed within it. The struggling and twisted soul gradually calmed down, its ferocious expression disappearing and being replaced by other emotions.
"Do you know who gathered you all here?" Ye Zi asked.
"Immortal, I have been wronged. I cannot die. I still have many things to finish. Immortal, please have mercy and let me go back."
"Immortal, I am from Lu County. I don't know how I got here. I just want to go home. Can you let me go home?"
“I’m not from here either, and we want to go home too.”
"How could I die? I can't die, I want to go home."
"I accidentally fell into the river. My family must be looking for me. I want to go back and see them one more time, just one more glance."
......
Some died with their eyes wide open in disbelief, some were reluctant to leave, and some, for reasons unknown, all wept uncontrollably.
Ye Zi didn't hear any useful information. Could it be that the person didn't show up?
If this person can control things remotely without being sensed by the remnant soul, then this person's strength is probably no less than that of the master. If it fails this time, there may be other tricks up their sleeve.
With a wave of her hand, Ye Zi sent the corpses flying out of the pit one after another, lining up in front of it.
Upon seeing this scene and smelling the stench of decay, everyone retreated further. They were all wondering why they hadn't smelled such a strong odor before; if they had, they certainly wouldn't have moved closer.
Ye Zi took out paper and pen and scattered them on the corpses one by one. She said to the remnant souls, "Fill out your information and grievances. Someone will come to take care of you and send you back."
Next, the onlookers saw from afar that the pens moved on their own, as if they were writing on paper.
