Wei Yuan sat cross-legged on the dark rock to rest.
In front of him was the skinny owner of the famous hostel. At least he got his name, Wu Liu. As for why he was named like that, he didn't say much, but we could probably guess it was because of his ranking in the family.
The Eight-sided Han Sword was placed horizontally in front of his knees, and he breathed in and out, and the Crouching Tiger Technique flowed slowly.
Wei Yuan just felt sorry that he couldn't bring food with him.
He only had a piece of special compressed biscuits on him, which needed to be cut with a knife to eat.
All the slightly better food, such as instant noodles and bread, were in the hostel. They couldn't go back there for the time being. Water was also a problem, but it was easier to solve than food. Wu Liu found some edible fruits, which could barely cope with it.
Wei Yuan leaned against the stone, trying to reduce the energy consumption brought by the activity, but immediately a very abrupt feeling of sleepiness came to his mind, as if his body was separated from his soul. Wei Yuan had experienced similar feelings several times, and at the same time he also felt the kindness conveyed by the other party. He closed his eyes and did not resist this feeling.
When he opened his eyes again, the world around him had changed.
Originally, the main color of the entire ghost domain was gloomy and depressing, but now the ghost domain in Wei Yuan's vision was bright, with a jade-white light everywhere. A girl looked at him quietly. Apart from her appearance, her existence itself had a feeling different from that of human beings.
"Crouching Tiger?"
She seemed to be questioning, but her tone was affirmative.
Wei Yuan felt something in his heart. Seeing that Wu Liu was still silent, as if he had not noticed anything, he turned around and took a look. "I" still had my eyes closed.
With a smile, she bowed and said, "I am Wei Yuan."
.........…
The goddess returned the greeting, glanced at Wei Yuan, and said, "I didn't expect that I could see the Si Li Xiaowei again after waking up."
Wei Yuan replied, "I didn't expect that we could still see living gods in our time."
After all, from various perspectives, modern society is not suitable for the existence of these gods.
Wei Yuan paused, suppressed his distracting thoughts, clasped his fists slightly, and said, "This time I am sending a message to ask the goddess, do you know how to break this ghost domain?"
The goddess glanced at Wei Yuan, thought about it, and said, "This... Excuse me, your current strength is not comparable to the crouching tigers I have seen before. Ordinary ghosts are not your opponents, but the one here has changed and is not that simple."
"I will give you a ray of clear air to guide you. It's better for the crouching tiger to retreat now. It won't be too late to come back when you have achieved great success."
She began to persuade Wei Yuan to leave here.
It has come to this point, how could Wei Yuan leave easily, he just said:
"Changes? I would like to hear the details."
The goddess thought about it, this is a state similar to the awake dream world, so she simply waved her hand, and a table and chairs appeared. A scroll was unfolded on the table. With a stroke of her white fingers, a rushing river appeared on the scroll.
The river flowed, and actually jumped off the scroll, flowing in front of Wei Yuan and the goddess, so real. The girl pointed at the river and said:
"This is Luojiang. Originally, it did not have the foundation to become a ghost domain, but many people died innocently in the river, and accumulated resentment, and finally washed it at this turning point. The river flowed away, but the evil spirits in the water system all impacted here."
She raised her finger and pointed to the corner, saying:
"After the ghosts here revived, they led these evil spirits to the opposite side of the ordinary world, and then lured other people to fall into the water and drown. The evil spirits accumulated more and more, and finally evolved into this ghost domain. After more than a hundred years of resurrection, they attracted other demons and monsters, and evolved into the current situation."
"The ghost domain and the river are actually connected together, and the water evil in the river continues to accumulate here."
"Now it can be regarded as the ghost king."
Wei Yuan did not expect such a change. The terrain connected the river evil, and finally Connected with the ghost, the effects are superimposed layer by layer, very methodical, obviously not the way of a simple lonely ghost, shaking her head and sighing:
"This is indeed not an opponent I can deal with, but you are a goddess, can't you solve it?"
The woman said: "I have just woken up for more than ten years, and the feather clothes are hidden by him, and I am forced by the ghost energy to the farthest place from the gathering place of evil spirits. It is the limit to barely hinder the formation of the ghost domain. There is no way to go down the mountain easily."
Wei Yuan thought about it and said: "Then how about I go to get the feather clothes for you?"
The goddess looked at Wei Yuan in surprise, thought about this proposal seriously, and said: "The ghost is always guarding the feather clothes. I don't have the feather clothes myself, and I am not his opponent. Crouching Tiger, you face him head-on, I am afraid you can't defeat him, unless it is two days later."
"After two days, he will probably leave there and go up the mountain."
The goddess didn't say anything else, but Wei Yuan already knew what she meant.
The Ghost King will get married in three days, and in two days, he will probably go up the mountain to pick up his bride.
The Goddess will recover her magic power when she gets the Feather Clothes, and the Ghost King certainly doesn't want this to happen.
So it's impossible for her to bring the Feather Clothes with her when she goes up the mountain.
Wei Yuan's only chance is to steal the Feather Clothes while the Ghost King is away, and then find a way to return the treasure to the Goddess, so that she can recover some of her strength and compete with the Ghost King.
Wei Yuan thought for a while and said, "I understand."
"Now that things have come to this, why not give it a try?"
He paused and smiled, "But I still need to ask the Goddess for a ray of clear air to guide the way."
The Goddess thought that Wei Yuan wanted to leave a way out, so she immediately gave him a ray of clear air, which was entangled on Wei Yuan's fingers. With this ray of clear air, Wei Yuan could vaguely feel the weakness of the ghost domain in front of him. The ghost domain can actually be regarded as a ghost wall of a very large area. With the guidance of the clear air, he can get out of the ghost domain.
The goddess separated the pure air, and her figure gradually faded, and the dream world also began to slowly dim.
Wei Yuan collected the pure air, and suddenly remembered something, saying: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to ask."
"I wonder what the ghost used to seal the feathered clothes?"
The goddess paused and replied:
"Witchcraft and evil spirits."
.........…
"Witchcraft and evil spirits..."
Wei Yuan woke up from the dream world and raised his hand. Sure enough, he saw a wisp of something like a breeze wrapped around his fingers. Compared with this dark and gloomy ghost realm, it was out of place. Wei Yuan thought about it, and put the breeze away with his backhand. He said to Wu Liu, who was silent beside him, "Wait a minute."
Then he stood up and went west, using his demonic power to move at a fast speed. He soon saw the Luo River flowing by, which was still wider than the Luo River in the human world, and was filled with evil spirits and death that mortals could not easily get involved in.
According to the goddess, the Luo River is the source of evil spirits, and therefore it also flows through the human world and the ghost realm.
Wei Yuan slowed down, took out his mobile phone, quickly pressed his fingers on the screen, typed in lines of words, and went up the river. Finally, he found the soul of the woman he had met when he was looking for the woman in yellow. The latter seemed surprised to see Wei Yuan again, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed.
Wei Yuan returned the bow and said:
"Miss, I want to ask you for help this time."
The woman was slightly startled, and seemed very puzzled.
Wei Yuan said quickly:
"It's not a big deal. Can you help me find the Huang family living in this river?"
"They are three yellow croakers."
When the woman's soul heard about the yellow croaker, she suddenly realized something and waved to Wei Yuan, then dived into the river. After a moment, three yellow croakers, one large and two small, emerged from the water and nodded at Wei Yuan. At this moment, they were fish and could not speak. Wei Yuan leaned over and asked:
"I have a way to get you out of this ghostland, but you have to do me a favor, how about it?"
The yellow croaker nodded repeatedly.
Wei Yuan pointed the clear air he got from the goddess, which could see through the ghost domain, at the top of the big yellow croaker's head, and took out the memory card from his phone, handed it to the yellow croaker, and said:
"Since you know that there are ghosts among the people who came with me, you should have seen the woman who came with me. Please find a way to give this thing to her, and she should know what to do with the rest."
The yellow croaker opened its mouth and spit out a tough bubble, which contained the memory card.
Then it swung its tail and sank into the water.
............
Shen Jifeng and the driver Lao Zhou led a group of tourists, terrified, and walked all night.
Finally, they saw the sunrise, which illuminated the surrounding environment, and confirmed that they had successfully walked out of the gloomy and terrifying ghost domain. They immediately contacted the special operations team members and were taken to the real village. Once they arrived at this safe place, Shen Jifeng did not stop and handed over various things to Zhang Hao and others.
During the short break, she was so exhausted from the many shocks she had suffered in the past two days and the long journey that she fell asleep while sitting. In her dream, she vaguely saw a woman in yellow holding something in her hand, and she said respectfully: "I, the humble concubine Huang Gu, have been ordered by the general to bring you something."
