Chapter 593: The Water Ghost Jade Flute


    Soon, I remembered Zhang Yi. He was a famous politician during the Warring States period. When the States of Chu and Qi joined forces to deal with the State of Qin, the King of Qin sent Zhang Yi to try tobreakthe alliance between Chu and Qi.


    Zhang Yi was a smart person. At first, he bought a few important officials of King Huai of Chu. Then, he enticed King Huai of Chu by cedingsomnd to him.


    Soon, King Huai of Chu agreed tobreakthe alliance with the State of Qi. Within one day, hedemolished the alliance that Qu Yuan had spent yearsbuilding.


    After that, when King Huai of Chulearnedthat he was tricked by Zhang Yi, he turned his embarrassment into anger. He dered war against the State of Qin! Qu Yuan knew it wasnt good for the State of Chu to start a war now. He immediately talked to King Huai of Chu, which resulted in his exile. With a grudge, he hugged a rock and jumped into the rivertomitsuicide. Peopleter gave him the posthumous title as the Water God of Miluo River.


    It was no wonder the males in Zhang Henshuis family all died in the water.Therewas such a great grudge between the two families. However,althoughI understood andsympathized with QuYuan, I didnt agree with his extrememethods!


    At the same time, I felt lost. I hadnt expected that a famous sage like him, whose name had beenpassed downthrough generations,wouldnt be able toescape the grudge and resentmentofthis mortal world


    I suddenly pulled myself together to chase after him. However, the other party had left quite a long time ago. I was angryand shoutedat Li Mazi.Whydidn''t youchase after him?!


    He didnt talk as he was looking at the big locust tree with Zhang Henshui. Both of themdropped theirjaws in surprise. I turned to look at the tree with doubt.I was stunned to seethe tree releasing waves of rolling ck mist.


    At the same time, the temperature dropped again.Gusts ofcoldwind wereing. We saw wandering ghosts congregating from all directions!


    Some had their eyes popped out,while othersstuck outtheir long tongues. Many had swelling, white faces. Most of them wore dripping, ancient clothes. They looked likeahorde of drowning ghosts. They hoveredandspun above our heads. They cried, thenughed.


    A momentter, the migrant worker returned with a green jade flute. As soon as he blew the flute, the ghosts received the order and swarmed toward us at the same time.


    I didnt think that the situation would be this dangerous so fast. I had to defend with the Sirius Whip. After each whip, Iwas able toclear arge number of ghosts. However, this horde of ghosts seemed to be endless. I would never be able to clear them all.


    Standing next to me, Li Mazi opened the Yin and Yang Umbre. After having used it many times, Li Mazi now knew the basics to control the Yin and Yang Umbre. While using the umbre to attack the ghosts, he wasalsoable to protect himself and Zhang Henshui.


    I suddenly blushedand felt thatmy disciple had finally grown up, catching up to the master. Anyway,whilehe was fighting hard on the other side, he shared the pressure I had to bear.


    After the magic power of the Sirius Whip was drained, I screamed and whippedonst time whilereciting aspell to beckon spirits.


    This time, Lu Dongbin didnt tease me. As soon as I read the spell, I felt my body much lighter and my arms much stronger.While screaming, I jumped and swept off all the spirits!


    The migrant worker seemed to sense something. He put the jade flute away and hidinthe woods.


    I asked Lu Dongbin to take metohim. However, theImmortal started to talk with hisdeepand maic voice. Youneed to find the onewhotied the bell to untie it. The cause-effectrtionship in the mortal world should be solved by the mortals themselves. Icant help you.


    After he said that, my body felt heavier. The Sirius Whip in my hand became soft again. I cursed under my breathand thoughtthat this great Immortal wasnt reliable at all. He left as soon as he finished!


    Li Mazi blinked his small eyesand asked,Little Brother Zhang, should we go after him?


    He wasstilldazed by my intimidating move when Lu Dongbin controlled my body.


    I turned and looked at the evil-looking biglocusttree. Biting my lower lip, Imade up my mind. If we let him go this time, it will be harder to catch him the next time!


    Then, I took the leadand ranafter the other party.


    Not long afterward, we saw the migrant worker. He was walking in the woods as though he hadnt expected that we would chase after him.


    Anyway,hisstrong point wasmagic illusions.SinceLu Dongbin had helped me solve thatenormous horde of water ghosts, there shouldnt be anything dangerous now. I didnt want to hide. I screamed then rushed toward him.


    The worker heard me. He turned, and his face changed drastically before he desperately jumped into the bushes.


    Since we had spent a lot of energy to deal with the water ghosts, we couldnt shorten the distancebetweenus. Fortunately, we were still able to see his figure ahead of us.


    Gradually, a in farmyard appearedin my field of vision. The man directly entered the house and didnt even lock the door.He might have thoughtit was useless todo so.


    When I came to the farmyard, I was surprisedto seethat it was just a paper model with reed poles and colored papersheets. A dozen paper dollsstoodinside the yard. Those paper dolls looked animated. They looked like real humansfroma distance.


    I carefully assessed thece. The houseshouldnt have a back door. To prevent the otherparty from usingmagic illusion again, I smeared the huo xiang perfume one more time. Then, Ienteredthe house first.


    Thecewas empty; noone was in there.


    Could he be invisible? mumbled Li Mazi,who was feeling puzzled.


    Then, we heard the manughing outside. Hahaha, youll alldietoday!


    Crap, were trapped! I was surprised when I heard his voice.


    If that fellowwasable to create illusions, the worker we justsawmighthave been anillusion. It wasnt his real body that lured us into this farmyard!


    I had a bad premonition. Pulling Li Mazi and Zhang Henshui, I wanted to run outside.However, when we got to the yard, all the paper dolls in the yard were revived.


    To be exact, they werent paper dolls. They were corpses! More than tenzombieswere standing upright in the yard.Athick, white mist lingered overthem. Although I was more than ten meters away from them, I still felt the cold air they were emitting.


    Standing behind thezombieswas a woman wearing a ck,silk veil. I recognized her. She wasthe womanwhohad worshipped Qu Yuan with the migrant worker earlier.The migrant worker was standing next to her,coldly looking at me.


    The woman was holding somethingthat lookedlike a rough. As soon as she started to shakeit, thezombiesstarted to hop.They uniformly turned and jumped toward us!


    WhenLi Mazi looked at the green-facedzombieswith long fangs, hisheroicspiritvanished instantly. He hurried to hide behind me. With a dark face, I took out a spirit talisman and palmed it on the head of the nearestzombie.


    Although my spirit talisman wasntaspecial one used to subduezombies, I believed it couldhold it backfor a while. Unexpectedly, thezombiehalted for a few seconds before my yellow talisman turned ck and shattered into pieces!


    At the moment the spirit talisman was sted, all thezombiesbecame angry. They raised their hands with long fingernailsand aimedat us.


    I took a step back and closed the door of the house. I then hurriedly moved all the furniture to block the door.


    In the meantime, the horde ofzombiesstarted to bangonthe door!
