Wu Xiande got goosebumps on his back. Before, the voice sounded exactly like his Xiao Lian's, but now it sounded like a broken string, intermittent and somewhat eerie.
While holding up his phone, Wu Xiande placed the antiques and blessed items from his home outside the room door.
Those are sandalwood prayer beads that sold for two million at auction two years ago!
[There's also the Jade-Painted Blue and White Bowl... and the Jade Screen with Carved Dragons...]
[Fine, fine, so I'm the only poor person here!]
Those who know their stuff immediately recognized what Wu Xiande had taken out.
Just one of these things in front of them would be enough for ordinary people like them to eat and drink for half a lifetime!
"Okay, okay, host." Wu Xiande placed his phone on the stand, facing the door of the room. He held a bucket of children's urine in one hand and a lighter in the other, with two buckets of oil beside him, giving the impression that he was about to die together with the other party.
It would be a lie for Wu Xiande to say he wasn't afraid, after all, what was in front of him wasn't a human, but a dangerous creature that had become a spirit.
"Mmm," Jiang Yuan hummed in response, her tone flat and unresponsive.
She looked through the camera lens at the closed room door.
Wu Xiande tiptoed to the door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
cluck—
The moment the door opened, the phantom that had transformed into 'Wu Lian' rushed out like a madman. Its face was ferocious and ugly, and its eyes were vicious. It didn't look like the eyes of a child, but rather the eyes of someone who had done all sorts of bad things.
Sharp, like a blade, and carrying a murderous intent.
When Wu Xiande saw 'Wu Lian' rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he dared not move. His face turned ashen, and his mind went blank. He had no idea what to do next.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan opened her eyes wide, her dark eyes staring at 'Wu Lian' through the lens like an abyss.
The Pixiu has an extremely high ability to imitate and observe. It is very sensitive to its surroundings and will glance at the person looking at it when it senses that someone is watching it.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Pi slowed his movements slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared, replaced by surprise and doubt.
This fear, yet that familiar feeling...
"Splash!" Jiang Yuan's voice reached Wu Xiande's ears. Wu Xiande came to his senses, picked up the bucket in his hand, and splashed the water on the other person.
Swish—
Wu Lian was instantly soaked to the bone, with urine dripping down its body.
Wu Lian's expression instantly turned to pain, and her screams echoed around her.
He covered his face with his hands, which had been melted, and gradually his original appearance returned.
Like a monkey, it is covered in long, black hair.
Wu Xiande was so frightened that his face turned ashen, his legs trembled, and he almost fainted.
【Holy crap! What is this?!】
[Holy crap, it really is a demon! Wasn't it said that spirits couldn't exist after the founding of the People's Republic of China?]
I wonder if this would taste good if fried.
"Fire!" Jiang Yuan shouted. Wu Xiande snapped out of his daze, suppressed his fear and terror, and kicked over the oil drum. The oil flowed down the ground to Wu Lian's feet, and Wu Xiande seized the opportunity to set it on fire.
In an instant, the fire surrounded the restored Pixiu, the intense heat approaching and burning its fur.
Xiang Pi suddenly released his hand from his face, his cold gaze falling on Wu Xiande.
When Jiang Yuan saw the long, thick scar on Xiang Pi's face, her expression changed drastically.
That's right!
How could it be!
How could it be here!
"Eat...eat...meat." Xiang Pi made intermittent and unpleasant sounds, reaching out to Wu Xiande as if he were a delicious piece of meat.
"No...you can't eat it...King Yama said you can't eat it." Xiang Pi withdrew his hand, and the words he uttered were inaudible to anyone except Jiang Yuan.
What's wrong with it? Why does it suddenly seem to want to eat someone, then pull its hand back? Does it have two personalities?
I've heard these things have a bit of a strange temper, who knows?
"Yan, King Yama... I didn't... I didn't mean to... I..." Xiang Pi turned to look at the camera and spoke.
It's just hungry.
I'm so hungry.
I want to eat everything I see.
However, what it said sounded like howling to others, howling because it was being burned by fire.
As soon as he finished speaking, flames quickly climbed up Xiang Pi's body, and a flame suddenly erupted from Xiang Pi's body, colliding with the flames in front of him.
Bang--
The two flames collided and exploded.
Wu Xiande, standing to the side, was deafened and staggered back as if his body had been blown apart.
The next second, the image of the Pixiu disappeared, leaving only the fire still burning.
Wu Xiande reacted quickly, immediately getting up to find a fire extinguisher and putting out the surrounding fire.
Fortunately, the fire was small and only damaged the floor.
After extinguishing the fire, Wu Xiande breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the camera: "Master, is it...is it over like this?"
"Hmm." Jiang Yuan gave a soft "hmm," her expression beneath the mask looking rather unpleasant.
This is the same Pixiu she brought back to the underworld.
When she encountered it, it transformed into her likeness, and her subordinates all mistook it for her; no one could recognize its disguise.
Seeing that Xiang Pi was somewhat useful, having never harmed or hurt anyone in its lifetime and having cultivated itself into a spirit, she concluded that it possessed high comprehension. Therefore, she brought it back to the underworld and put it in charge of the third level of hell.
In this way, one can accumulate merit, and if one is fortunate enough to be born in the future, one can even attain immortality.
She also made a promise with it that it couldn't eat people.
Why did it come to this world? Why does it eat people? And why...?
There will be restrictions within the body!
The burst of flames from its body was clearly the work of someone else.
Why is this happening?
Could something have happened in the underworld?
