Chapter 55 Chapter 55
Plans often cannot keep up with changes. Before Tang Yang could arrange dinner, the two received a message from Yu Qingfeng.
The old ghost used the unique method of communication used by the underworld's ghost messengers - a ghost butterfly transformed by ghost power floated into Tang Yang's hand, slowly exploded into light powder, and in a short while, several lines of words were formed in the air.
[We found Mo Weian at Ouyang Xiu's home, but he had taken Ouyang Xiu away. We have now caught up with him and are besieging him in a forest. Ouyang Xiu is in his hands. He is very resistant to me and we cannot communicate. Please come quickly.]
Yuan Tian looked at Tang Yang with a strange look in his eyes: "So, this means that Mo Kaize is really Mo Weian?"
Tang Yang shrugged innocently: "Don't look at me, I didn't expect to guess it right either."
The master was speechless for a while. This was possible. After thinking for a while, he said, "But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. I have not had much contact with Mo Kaize, but according to rumors, if it is him, it is not surprising that Yu Qingfeng could not find him for so many years, and the underworld has no record of him."
"The evil method he practiced to absorb people's spiritual energy to repair and strengthen himself has long transcended the Three Realms. Compared to Yuan Tian, he is the one who is neither human nor ghost in the true sense."
"Haha..." Yuan Tian said helplessly, "Master, it's bad luck, don't mention me together with him!"
"So, we have found my lover before I died?" Xiao Jing was a little happy, like a seaweed, "I'm a little excited, I think I must have loved him terribly when I was alive!"
元恬直接白了他一眼, “没看出来你个小鬼还挺恋爱脑！我先跟你说好，等会我揍他时你可不能哭哭啼啼阻拦啊！”
"I don't even remember him, why are you crying!" Xiao Jing snorted, "At most I'll cry a few times when I remember him. We've been in love, so we should always show some respect."
Yuan Tian ignored him and turned to Tang Yang and said, "Why don't you not go this time? Your control over your ghost power is not very good, your memory has not been fully revived, and the seal has not been completely lifted, right?"
"He is much more reliable than you now." Without waiting for Tang Yang to answer, the master patted Yuan Tian's hair. "You little brat are the real hollow one. Before your soul and body are completely transformed, your strength can only be half of what it was before. Compared to him, shouldn't you stay?"
Tang Yang blinked innocently and spread his hands: "Facts."
Yuan Tian: “…………”
He groaned, "Then we're even, let's go together."
The master looked surprised, shook his head, sighed, and handed him a wooden sign.
"Take it. It can save your life at a critical moment."
Yuan Tian took it and looked at it, and couldn't let it go: "Brother Tang and Tang Meng also have this, Master, did you give them to them too?"
"Their effects are different from yours." The master said as he walked out, "I have to go and get busy. I'll make a note of this meal. By the way, your body is undergoing a transformation and your spiritual power is insufficient. I guess you won't be able to gather spiritual power as easily as before. When it's critical, use the props when necessary."
"Also," the master turned around and looked at Yuan Tian steadily, and stuffed a dozen talismans into his hands while saying, "You'd better stop pretending to be good. I always feel my scalp tingling. Just, just call me like before."
Yuan Tian was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "Okay, stinky old man~"
Tang Yang raised his hand at the right time: "What about me? Do you want to call me that too?"
The master said angrily: "You should call me grandpa!"
Tang Yang: “…”
Yuan Tian and Xiao Jing smiled quietly.
After seeing the old man off, Yuan Tian and Tang Yang rushed to the place where Yu Qingfeng had sent the message. Xiao Jing followed them as well. The little ghost was quite interested in his "suspected lover" in his previous life.
When I saw Yu Qingfeng, he was standing on the outskirts of a woods. He had a stern face and was staring at the woods with heavy eyes. He was surrounded by all kinds of ghosts.
Seeing Yuan Tian and the other three, Yu Qingfeng nodded as a greeting. Just as he was about to say something, one of the ghosts jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Boss!"
It was Qian Kai, the spy that Yuan Tian had sent to stay by his side. Yu Qingfeng snorted coldly and continued to stare at the woods.
"What's going on?" Yuan Tian walked straight towards Qian Kai. There was no Internet in the underworld, and Qian Kai didn't know how to communicate there. Although he asked Qian Kai to be the supervisor, he was unable to get in touch in time.
It seems that the construction of network base stations needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Qian Kai pointed at the woods and said, "We searched for a long time according to the list found by the Taoist Association, but we couldn't find Mo Kaize. Then I thought, what if he left behind and planned to directly control someone one of his former employers?"
"So you just checked the few people who were nearby?" Yuan Tian was speechless. No wonder so many ghosts couldn't find the person after searching for so many days. It seemed like they were going in the wrong direction.
"We recently checked out Ouyang Xiu, but strangely, she doesn't seem to have her brain controlled." Qian Kai scratched the back of his head, puzzled. "She was just tied up with her hands and feet, and had a lot of cuts on her. She was tortured to the point of mental depression. But her mind is still clear."
"When Mo Kaize saw us, he grabbed her and ran away. During that time, Yu Yincha talked to him and called him Mo Weian, but he ignored us."
Tang Yang looked at Yu Qingfeng and frowned: "Are you sure he is really Mo Weian?"
"Although his appearance has changed slightly, he is still the same person. It's just that..." Yu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, "When he saw me, he was surprised, happy and resentful. I don't know where his resentment came from..."
"I didn't even have the chance to ask him why he didn't come to the appointment and why he disappeared for so many years. We just met and he ran away with Ouyang Xiu..."
"We'll tell you the story later." Yuan Tian cracked his knuckles. "In short, although you have a history, he doesn't want to pay attention to you now. He's even avoiding you, and he has a hostage."
"Not necessarily a hostage." Tang Yang said slowly, "Although he planned what he did, he must have some obsession to survive so long. He tortured Ouyang Xiu so much, maybe his obsession is related to her, or her previous life."
Xiao Jing came over confusedly: "But, I heard that ghosts in the underworld have to go through the pond of the dead when they are reincarnated. Their souls will be cleansed and reorganized, and they will no longer be the same person after reincarnation."
"Indeed." Yuan Tian nodded, "This is one of the reasons why some ghosts are unwilling to reincarnate and wander around the world relying on their obsessions. Reincarnation does exist, but most ghosts have been baptized in the Rebirth Pond and their souls are no longer willing to pretend. Therefore, even if Mo Weian had a grudge with Ouyang Xiu in the previous life, he should not have found her in this life."
"Let's go find him first without delay." Yuan Tian said, then looked at Yu Qingfeng, "What about you?"
Yu Qingfeng said calmly: "I'll go with you. With you here, maybe he will be willing to communicate."
"Tsk." Yuan Tian sneered. He said it in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, he was still afraid that they would kill Mo Weian. He was too lazy to argue with this evil spirit, so he held Tang Yang's left hand and Xiao Jing's right hand and walked inside.
These two are the people he cares about most, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't hold them in his hands and protect them - even though he might be weaker than Tang Yang now.
It doesn't matter, he still has a life-saving wooden token left to him by his master.
It seemed that Mo Weian had tampered with the trees in advance. Not long after they entered, the forest was filled with fog and a gloomy atmosphere.
Yuan Tian frowned and was about to ask Tang Yang and the others to be more cautious when a figure suddenly emerged from the fog.
The pale and distorted face, the eyes with only the whites left, the blood-stained face and the messy long hair all reminded Yuan Tian and the others that there was a ghost in front of them.
Qian Kai, who was timid and had not been a ghost for long, screamed immediately: "Ghost!!!"
As his screams faded, more and more ghosts emerged from the mist, all of them looked ugly. Nearly half of them were wearing armor, looking like an ancient army.
Yuan Tian couldn't help but sigh: "How shabby."
Xiao Jing puffed out his chest proudly: "Not everyone is like me, paying attention to their appearance even after death!"
Yuan Tian couldn't help but give him a look of approval and appreciation. This kid didn't look good when he died, and even looked extremely miserable. But he usually tried to dress neatly before meeting people, and now he was wearing the sportswear that Yuan Tian had made for him, which made him look even more energetic.
Tang Yang stroked his chin, thinking: "It seems that in addition to Internet access and smart office, the future of the underworld also needs to improve overall aesthetics and civilization..."
"Please, two big guys!" Qian Kaishou was about to cry behind Yu Qingfeng, "Please think of a solution. I don't want to die young."
"Wake up, you died a long time ago." Yuan Tian told him the truth reluctantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of ghosts rushed towards them.
Yuan Tian was about to dodge, but was held in Tang Yang's arms. He looked up and saw Tang Yang raising his other hand, and the black mist in his hand turned into hundreds of sharp swords, attacking many ghosts.
The ghosts that were touched by the sharp sword instantly wailed like wounded beasts. Some lost the ability to move, while others even lost their souls.
Deep inside the woods, the long-haired man who was originally sitting cross-legged on the tree suddenly twitched his eyebrows and muttered to himself: "Is it so generous..."
The woman next to her with a rag stuffed in her mouth rolled her eyes weakly and looked into the distance with hope in her eyes.
Here, Yu Qingfeng and other ghosts looked at Tang Yang in amazement, obviously not expecting that this man would be so brutal and powerful.
Xiao Jing's eyes were twinkling with stars: "Brother Tang is awesome!"
Tang Yang curled his lips slightly and looked at Yuan Tian, his eyes clearly seeking credit. He had read a lot of documents from the underworld in the past few days, and had also tried to control his own power. He was hoping that one day, he would be able to stand in front of Yuan and be the protector of his beloved.
Yuan Tian curled his lips weakly, with mixed feelings, and asked in a low voice: "Have you... been able to master your power to this extent?"
He had clearly lost control a few days ago, but now he seemed to have mastered it with ease.
Tang Yang was stunned. His child's reaction was far beyond his imagination. Not to mention rewards like kisses and hugs, there was not even a verbal reward. Instead, the child seemed a little sad.
After thinking about it, he finally understood - his child was worried again, afraid that the more he used his power, the faster the seal would be released, and it would be easier for him to recover his past memories.
He squeezed Yuan Tian's hand, pursed his lips and expressed his determination again: "Don't worry, I said I won't forget you."
Yuan Tian smiled bitterly. He wanted to believe it, but he knew in his heart that it was not up to them. Just like those clichéd amnesia plots in melodramas, would the screenwriter not write it that way if the protagonist didn't want it?
But then, he saw mist surging from Tang Yang's left hand, mixed with an ominous trace of blood.
Before Yuan Tian could react, the blood mist on Tang Yang's palm receded. At this time, Tang Yang also opened his hand to him, revealing a word carved deep enough to show the bone - "Yuan".
The strokes of that word were filled with blood and bones, as if the soul was to be engraved in as well.
Tang Yang's face turned pale, but there was a gentle smile on the corner of his lips: "I think, no matter what I become now, it will remind me of you."
Yuan Tian held his hand tightly, stared at it for a while, and then asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Tang Yang answered lightly, "Don't feel bad, it really doesn't hurt."
"Then..." Yuan Tian raised her eyes, the pain in her eyes had long gone, and she was eager to try: "How about you carve one more word to complete my name?"
Tang Yang: "..." The smile on the corner of his lips slowly disappeared.
"No way?" Yuan Tian was a little disappointed, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "How about adding another heart?"
Tang Yang: “…………” Not to mention the smile, even the expression disappeared.
Qian Kai, who was watching from the sidelines, completely forgot to be afraid and asked Xiao Jing beside him blankly: "Are they always like this?"
Xiao Jing sighed: "This is great, much better than the TV series!"
"Ahem..." Yu Qingfeng said in a resentful tone, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, how about we get down to business first?"
Tang Yang took Yuan Tian in his arms and said, "We are also doing serious business now."
Yuan Tian said in a serious tone, "Yes, it's a lifelong event."
Yu Qingfeng: "..."
He muttered quietly: "Who doesn't have a partner?"
As they were talking, the fog in the forest became thicker, and the yin energy became stronger. The ghosts that should have lost their ability to move suddenly seemed to be re-injected with ghost power, and they went crazy, claws and fangs bared, and rushed towards them.
This time, it looked even crazier than the evil ghosts in the movies. It was more like a beast that had been hungry for a long time and finally smelled some meat.
The men Yu Qingfeng brought in, along with Qian Kai, were all screaming and shouting, unable to remain calm, and running around. Even though Yu Qingfeng called out to them immediately, he was unable to stop them.
At the same time, Yuan Tian pushed Tang Yang away and quickly pulled Xiao Jing behind him. Then, a handful of talisman paper appeared in his hand, which was given to him by his master before he left.
With a quick flip of his slender fingers, the talisman paper emitted a blue flame, and he threw it fiercely at the ghost: "Kill!"
As if it was using a GPS, the talisman paper touched several ghosts without missing a single piece. The next moment, the talisman paper ignited into a large ball of blue flame, devouring and burning the ghosts in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Yu Qingfeng threw out the sharp blade transformed from Yin Qi and pointed it directly at the remaining ghosts that were not touched by the talisman paper.
"The talisman paper given by the old man has great killing power." Yuan Tian looked at the few ghosts left around and they were not to be feared. He smiled and turned to look at his lover and the little ghost.
There is nothing behind me.
