Chapter 277: Visitors from the Underworld
After a while, Zhiluo arrived.
"Pfft... Hahahahaha what's that comb you guys have? Hahahaha..."
She had already heard Nan Zheng's explanation of the whole story on the way, but she never expected that the visual effect of this thing would be so impactful. She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
Xiao Changheng glanced at Nan Zheng and said calmly:
"My subordinates have little experience, so I would like to ask for your guidance."
Southern Expedition:?
No, Your Majesty, what do you mean by that look? Since you didn't pull this up, have you forgotten your level?
Zhiluo finally stopped laughing, and a hint of cunning suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Do you really want to learn from me?"
Seeing Xiao Changheng nod, Zhiluo grinned and waved to Anwu.
There was a flash of light, and An Wu had changed into a dazzling towering bun.
"This is Lingyun bun."
Dark Five: ...
Zhiluo raised her hand again, a green light flashed, and Anwu changed his hairstyle again.
"This is Wangxian Nine-Bun Bun..."
She looked at the master and servants who were in silence, chuckled and continued to raise her hand, and faint lights flashed in the room one after another.
“…This is a shamrock!”
"Spirit Snake Bun!"
"Flying bun!"
"Lou Lu Ji!"
"Moon Bun!"
"Yun Jin Xiang Ji!"
"Hanyan Furong bun..."
"Alright, alright, alright! Miss Zhiluo, please wait a moment," Nan Zheng finally came to his senses, looked at the prince's face, and quickly interrupted, "Can you find a simple demonstration first?"
Zhiluo raised her eyebrows:
"Isn't this just a demonstration?"
"Ah? No..." Nan Zheng thought she didn't understand, "We want to see how to tie your hair. Just the way the princess usually does it..."
Zhiluo burst out laughing:
"That's how I do it. Just do it like this to get any hairstyle you want~!"
She turned around on the spot, and a fancy bun with an unknown name appeared on her head.
She turned around again, and her hair bun became exactly the same style as Yun Qingqing's today.
"How could I, a dignified mountain ghost, learn the troublesome hair-combing method of ordinary people?" Zhiluo said with a smile while playing with a strand of hair.
Xiao Changheng: ...
Southern Expedition: =_=
If I wasn't afraid that the princess would be unhappy, I would really want to send someone to tear down her temple.
Nan Zheng was complaining in his heart when he heard the prince speak coldly:
"Nanzheng, arrange for people to go to Zhiluo Mountain to build another temple."
“…Ah?” Nan Zheng was stunned.
No, this mountain ghost is so evil-minded, and the prince still wants to build a temple for her?
Zhiluo also raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Then Xiao Changheng said slowly:
"Build another land temple, right on the road in front of the mountain temple, and send more people to promote it."
"No way!"
Zhiluo reacted and took a breath:
"I was just joking. Why are you so cruel as to spend so much money to steal my incense?"
Xiao Changheng sneered, waved his hand and walked out.
Zhiluo quickly chased after him:
"Hey, don't go! We can talk it over. I really don't know how to do it, otherwise I would definitely teach you..."
Nan Zheng and An Wu looked at each other, listening to the prince's calm voice coming from outside:
"You don't have to worry about having your incense stolen, but you must keep today's events a secret."
"Okay, deal!"
Southern Expedition: ...
Oh, he is worthy of being a prince. He can even control the mountain ghost.
He sighed, shook his head and followed him out.
"Hey, Lord Nanzheng, don't go..." An Wu watched Nanzheng leave the room without looking back, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.
Help! His hair is in such a mess. Who can untie it?
…
…
At midnight, Yun Qingqing finally finished refining the new willpower that had flowed into her body.
These wishes are not just the wishes gained from the Tianming Pavilion on a daily basis, there is also a more powerful part that comes from the thousands of ghosts in the Yin-summoning Flag.
The fact that they can become resentful souls and evil spirits means that the "thoughts" of these souls are thousands of times stronger than those of ordinary people. Therefore, after the resentment is purified, the will power of these souls is also thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people.
This was like timely rain for Yun Qingqing who had just finished her body training. Her originally empty sea of qi finally felt somewhat full.
She slowly exhaled, opened her eyes, stood up and moved around a few times, then suddenly froze for a moment and looked towards the bed.
This room was shared by her and Xiao Changheng. Normally, even if he wasn't asleep, he should be reading at the table, but he wasn't in the room now.
It’s so late, where has this person gone?
Yun Qingqing frowned, turned around and walked out of the room. She glanced around and saw purple mist swirling in the next room. Only then did she feel relieved.
She thought that this person might be assigning tasks to his subordinates, so she turned around and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
But as soon as his hand touched the door handle, he stopped.
Yun Qingqing turned and looked towards the corner of the yard, her pupils flashed, and she whispered:
"There's no one dying here, what are you doing here?"
A low chuckle came from the corner of the wall, and two figures, one white and one black, appeared silently.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss Yun has become more perceptive." Bai Wuchang still had that perfect smile on his face and bowed slightly to her.
"Miss Yun." Hei Wuchang bowed to her.
"So what exactly are you here for?" Yun Qingqing could see that the two men had no ill intentions and seemed to have come to find her specifically, so she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Alas..." Bai Wuchang sighed, "To be honest, Lao Hei and I were on duty nearby when we sensed some movement during the day. I never imagined it was Miss Yun showing off her skills."
"It's a coincidence. We are facing a very difficult situation, so I thought Miss Yun might be able to help me. Of course, I won't let your hard work go in vain."
Yun Qingqing saw that his fake smile had faded a little, and she knew that the matter was of great importance. She nodded and opened the door:
"Come in and talk."
A man and two ghost messengers entered the room. Bai Wuchang took out a small booklet, opened it and made a few marks on it.
A few lines of words slowly appeared on the booklet.
He handed the volume of the Book of Life and Death to Yun Qingqing and told her about the difficult problems he had encountered.
It turns out that the underworld recently discovered that a strange soul had infiltrated the world of the living at some point in time.
At first they thought that some evil spirit was possessed by someone, so they sent the Ox-Head and Horse-Face to capture the evil spirit.
But after the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons went to check, they came back to report that they didn’t find any evil ghosts or vengeful spirits at all, and wondered if the judge had made a mistake.
The judge checked it again and said that it was correct. The soul's debt and misfortune were sky-high, and it carried an extremely deep obsession. Which living person's soul could be like this?
If a real person were like this, he would have died suddenly long ago.
However, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons did not have the authority to access the Book of Life and Death, so this task fell on the Black and White Impermanence.
"Oh, what luck we have! Among so many colleagues, it just happens that we two are free, so we were assigned this task." Bai Wuchang sighed again.
"So we followed the Book of Life and Death to find the spirit, but we discovered that it was indeed a living person, with no signs of possession at all."
"A living person?" Yun Qingqing asked in surprise.
If it is true as the judge said, there is a high possibility of being possessed by an evil spirit, but even the Black and White Impermanence cannot see any signs of possession, then it is interesting.
She looked at the book of life and death, and saw a line of birth date written on the page she had opened.
Yun Qingqing counted on her fingers and suddenly froze.
