Chapter 620: Ghost Raising Vige
I noticedthatChuyi had his fistsclenchedthe entire time. I could tell he had a deep grudge against the folks in this vige.
Could you tell me more aboutit? I asked.
Chuyi took a deep breath, then gave me a serious look. Jiulin, leave it alone. Illhandle everything. When its over, youll know.
He asked me to rest and prepare to take action tonight. Before I could react, he leaned back on his seat and closed his eyes.
How could I not trust you? I just wanted tosharethis burdenwith youI sighedinwardly,then closed my eyes.
We woke up at around twilight.Many trucks weremoving around, and a few hundred workers were moving back and forth to unload the goods. The surroundings were well-lit.
I was a little worried. What if they workduringthe night?Willwe have a chance to take action?
Dont worry. Im sure they will leave before 11:30 PM.
Chuyi was unruffled. He gave me a feeling that he was very familiar with this ce. I stopped talkingand turnedto watch the workers out there. The maritime business here was indeed busy.
This ce was dozens of miles away from the big port in Laizhou. However, I could see that they wereverybusy. It gave me the impression that the famous coastal citiesin the Southeastoperated during theday and night.
While I was imagining the prosperous growth of our countrys blue economy, Chuyi was admiring his eight-faceted Han sword. He looked yearning and anxious.
Itooka nceathim from time to time, but he hadnt sent me a look back. If I didnt know him, I wouldhave thoughthe was an idiot.
At around 11:00 PM, the workers were still moving goods outside. I thought Chuyi had finally learned how to joke. It was just half an hour before 11:30 PM,andthe workers out there didnt show anysignthat they would stop workingsoon.
I closed my eyes and decided to take a nap.I decided that whenI woke up, I wouldtease him. However, before I could fall asleep, Chuyi patted me. He smiled and pointedoutside our window. Jiulin, lets watch the fun.
Then, I heard a loud horn.
I was stunnedto seethe workers out theredropeverythingbefore rushingto the shuttle buses.The shuttle buses immediately left the area.
Within seconds, Chuyi andI werethe only ones left there.
Wow.
I gave Chuyi a thumbs-up. Should we go to the vige to take a look now?
Just wait a little more.
Wait? I turned around anddidnt see anyone. Why?
After a few minutes, I couldnt stay put. Before I could ask him, Chuyi switched off all the lights in the carand turnedto look at me.
His eyes had turned red. His shaky right handheld ontohis eight-faceted Han sword. He looked like he would draw his sword out of its sheath to kill me in the next moment.
I shiveredandwanted to ask him what was wrong. But then, I saw a figure reflected in his eyes. The figurewas outside the window behind me.
Is that
Subconsciously, I turned and saw a face sticking to the window!
That face was as thinascicada wings, but the facial features were distinctive. The body attached tothefaceflutteredin the wind like a stic bag. The ghostly face seemed to knowthatwe were looking at it. Itsmirkedand provokinglystuck outits tongueatus.
I was startled at first, butafterI got a hold of myself, I recognized it was just a normal little ghost. I took out the Emei Piercerand attemptedto attack that ghost. Chuyiblockedmy hand and lowered his voice. Dont move. Its probing us.
I was surprised. I turned andcarefullyfaced the ghost.
Around one minuteter, the ghostly face detached from the cars window and flew to an empty truck.
When I was sure that it couldnt hear me, I asked carefully, Whats going on?
Chuyi said with a sullen face, Its a ghostraised by thevigers. Every night, ieshere to patrol. As soon as it spots an outsider,itll kill that person.
Chuyi seemed to be triggered. He started to tell me many things about this vige.
Many people hadehereknowingnothingabout the ce. Theyhadthe same ideaasme. Theywentout of their hideouts to kill the scouting ghost. Immediately afterward, countless ghosts swarmed toward them from every direction.
This ordinary-looking vigewas actually raisingso many little ghosts! I smacked my tongue, but I had a feeling that Chuyis loved one wasnt killed by those ghosts.
The little ghost was moving faster and faster. However, there were so many trucks here. It took the ghost around one hour to finish its patrol round.While hovering, the ghost howled then flew toward the vige.
At the same time, I heardmotions here and there. Icuriouslylooked around and found so many hidden ghosts. Theygatheredand ran toward the vige.
After all of themweregone, Chuyi patted meto indicatethat I could getout ofthe car. To be honest, what I had just seen was beyond my estimation!
It was understandable if I met a lot of ghosts inagraveyard. But tonight,they appearedin a port area, whichspoke oftheabilityof the people living in Dragon King Vige.
Now, Iwas even more convincedthat this vige had the water nymphstears!
After gettingout ofthe car, Chuyi went to the window that the ghost had stuck its face on. He took out a big piece of yellow paper and adheredit tothe ss. Then, he sprinkledsome cinnabar powder on it.
Amiracle happenedright after. The cinnabar stuckonthe spots the ghost had touchedearlier,while theremainingamountfloated and felltothe ground.
After the ghost appeared on the yellow paper, Chuyi made a cutout of it. Then, he put the paper doll into his pocket. With the eight-faceted Han sword in his hand, he slowly advanced.
I grabbed the Holy Mother Scepter in my left hand while my right hand held the Emei Piercer. I carefully walked behind him.
Inthe beginning,we only sawpiles of boxes. However, after a few minutes of walking, the scene changed. In front of us was a vige that was even smaller and poorer than Yin Xinyues vige.
This is Dragon King Vige.
Chuyi stopped in front of an old water tower. This water tower is in the center of the vige. If we get up there, we can see the entirece.
The water tower was abandoned.While climbingto the top, spider websstuckon my entire body. However, it meant that the ce Chuyi had chosen was rtively safe. He took out the paper dond bitthe tip of hisfingerto drip a drop of blood on the ghosts eyes.Jiulin,keep an eye on thevige.
Then, he closed his eyesand startedto read something while shaking the paper doll.
It looked like he wanted to use the paper doll to beckon that ghost. I carefully watched around. Eventually, I saw Yin energy arising from a house near the river. I focused on that house. A few secondster, a shadow flew up. When it zoomed nearer, I recognized it was the ghost that had checked our car.
Ithoughtthat Chuyi would make that ghost show us the way.But to my surprise, the ghost burned and turned into ashes.
I turned and saw that Chuyi had used his spirit me to burn the paper doll.
Wasnt it better if wemade it show us around?
If we dont destroy it,our whereabouts willbe exposed. Chuyi gritted his teeth. Did you see which house the ghost came from?
I nodded andpointed at thehouse.
He sneered and exined, The mermaid is the biggest secret of this vige. If somethinghappens out here, the folks will be alerted. They will inevitably think that someone hase for the Dragon Eye and the mermaid!
What if the ghost owner doesnte out?
Chuyi wanted to kill the ghost to alert its owner, which would make the owneeout to check on the Dragon Eye. It would give us the chance to follow him there.
After all, tens of thousands of yearshad passed, which made it hard to recognizeitsoriginal location. Except for the locals, no one knew whereit was.
It was a good method. However, I didnt think it would workas these peoplewere unlikely te outside at midnight.
Im sure he will show up. Chuyi gave a faintnod,then looked around. I didnt want to disturb him, so I leaned against the inner wall of the watertowerto rest.
I didnt know howmuch timeit had passed when Chuyi suddenlysaid, Here hees!
