Chapter 291 The Haunting Evil Ghost

Cheng Bai said, "Please tell me why this is wrong, sir?"

Wu Yazi asked, "The ones I have seen patrolling day and night either have no horns or only two or three. How come you have so many horns?"

This was a loophole in the Ghost Car's magic, and Wu Yazi had discovered it. Zhai Xufei didn't know what to do for a moment.

Cheng Bai remained calm and used the secret art of communication in ventriloquy: "Reporting to the commander, I was born with these horns. There are no two leaves in the world that are alike, nor are there two flowers that are exactly alike, so naturally they will not have the same horns."

Wu Yazi was unable to refute such a great truth, so he could only wave his hand and said, "I'm overthinking it. Go ahead."

Entering the Guitou Mountain Cave, it was noticeably colder, and the towering stalagmites that looked like sharp white teeth caught Cheng Bai's attention. There were ninety-five stalagmites at the entrance of the cave, arranged in three layers, outside, middle, and inside. The outer layer had three particularly long and sharp stalagmites, shaped like the most developed canine fangs of a giant beast.

Cheng Bai counted them in an instant and saw clearly: "I don't know what species the God King who died here was in his lifetime. His teeth are different from those of humans and beasts... It's not intact. There should have been four big fangs, but the missing part has become the entrance to the cave."

The stalagmites are huge, and ordinary patrolling ghosts find the gaps a bit narrow but have no difficulty passing through.

After passing through the stalagmite area and walking further inside, there were indeed many sentries. Seeing Zhai Xufei swaggering in, few of them asked questions.

There was a wide area above the sentry post, with patrols walking around in groups of three or four. One of the day patrols saw Zhai Xufei and called out, "Gu Chenzi, you're back too early. The day patrol leader hasn't come back yet."

Cheng Bai answered on behalf of Zhai Xufei: "Where is the king? I will offer the beautiful women I captured to him."

The day patrol officer looked a little surprised and said, "You know the rules. When the hour of Wei arrives, the king will meditate in Taoyuan and must not be disturbed. If you have anything to say, we can talk at the hour of Shen."

He paused for a moment and then said, "I know you are eager to win the merit and reward, so why not keep the captives in Huiyan Hall, which is a good place to deal with temporary prisoners. If you are worried that others will take advantage of you, you can guard them yourself. When the king summons you, it will be easy and convenient to escort them there."

Cheng Bai then asked, "Where is Huiyan Hall?"

Ri Youxun looked surprised and said, "You haven't been there before? Go downhill along the Bloodthroat Palace and you will see a fork. The upper road leads to the Peach Garden, and the lower road leads to the garden. Huiyan Hall is the largest cave at the entrance of the garden."

Cheng Bai said: "Thank you."

Zhai Xufei continued to go deeper into the ghost area. At first, he walked up the slope. The slope inside the cave was not too steep, and then he went down again. The patrols day and night became fewer and fewer. After walking for a while, he really saw a fork in the road. It was quiet and deserted.

Cheng Bai whispered, "There is a powerful being on the road up, more powerful than Master Zhai and Sister Bei, but the aura he sensed was very quiet, so it must be the Ghost King Xiyi."

Zhai Xufei whispered, "I have seen Gui Mang once in ancient times. At that time, he was weaker than both of us. Now he is stronger than us, and I am a little unhappy."

Bei Tingjun felt very uncomfortable when he led her all the way, and said faintly: "Good brother, please be gentle, you are hurting me."

Just as he was about to sneak into Taoyuan, a man came striding towards him from behind. It was Wuyazi again.

Seeing the movement ahead, Wu Yazi shouted, "Hey! Stop right there."

Zhai Xufei bowed as usual, and Cheng Bai asked, "What do you want, sir?"

Wu Yazi said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel something is not right. Come with me to the Huiyan Hall and examine the woman carefully from head to toe to see if there is anything dirty, so as to avoid displeasure to the king."

Isn't this taking advantage of the opportunity?

Cheng Bai was stunned: "He kept pestering me, but I didn't know he was a pervert."

Without waiting for a reply, Wu Yazi went to grab the chain holding Bei Tingjun, and said with a low laugh: "It's just a snack to go with the wine, it won't bother you to appreciate it first."

Zhai Xufei was not willing to agree. He pulled the chain and dragged Bei Tingjun behind him. He turned sideways to block him and chuckled.

Seeing that he refused, Wu Yazi said angrily, "Why are you laughing foolishly? I am your superior, how dare you commit treason?"

He swung the thirteen-section long whip in his hand and shouted, "My Mountain River Dancing Whip is made of magic silver, with hooks and thorns on the sections. If you get hit or stained, your skin will be torn at best, and the worst is worse than death. Do you want to have a taste of it? Hand the woman over to me obediently."

Cheng Bai saw that he was going to force himself on her, so he whispered, "Get rid of him as soon as possible while there is no one else here."

"How dare a mere patrol officer disobey me?" Seeing that Zhai Xufei remained silent, Wu Yazi became furious and simply swung his Mountain and River Whip, hitting him on the head.

Suddenly, a green whip shadow stretched out from behind the opponent, and it wrapped around the Mountain River Whip at a faster speed than the wind, erupting with an irresistible powerful pulling force, easily taking the Mountain River Whip away.

Suddenly, Wu Yazi didn't even have time to scream out in surprise. He only felt a blur in front of his eyes and could no longer make out the figure.

Zhai Xufei dodged and approached him, stretched out his hand and slapped him with a "snap" sound. The terrifying force made Wu Yazi's head spin like a top two and a half times, and he looked down and saw his back.

The evil ghost was not an ordinary person, and his head was broken but he was not dead yet. Wu Yazi was seriously injured, and he stumbled back in fear, trying to escape from his terrible opponent, his throat gurgling but unable to make a sound.

Cheng Bai, who was hiding in the dark, would not let him get away, so he immediately summoned the Four Symbols Cauldron. The dark red light enveloped Wu Yazi, and with a "swish" sound, the helpless big ghost was taken into the cauldron, unable to move anymore.

"This guy is slightly inferior to the Mud Demon King. It's great that he's here to refine treasures!" Cheng Bai was secretly delighted and asked, "Si Ye, can you add this ghost to the Golden Spirit Void Rope for refining?"

Siye said: "Master, rest assured, the ghost is just the right thing to strengthen the treasure's spiritual gathering effect. After experiencing the thunder tribulation and tempering the treasure, it will definitely be even more outstanding."

Bei Tingjun smiled and put away the Mirage Dragon Corpse Whip and coiled it around his body. He held the Dancing Mountain and River Whip in one slender jade hand and couldn't let it go. He said in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty, this treasure is a wonderful Horcrux. It is very useful. Leave it to me."

Cheng Bai glanced at it and nodded in agreement: "The treasure is guarded by a weapon spirit, so keep it for now. Bring it to you when you have time and I'll help you erase the mark of the old owner so it will be easier to use when you recognize the new owner."

The three of them quietly slipped in from the upward fork.

The cave in front of me suddenly opened up, and I was in a spacious and quiet hall. There were bright fires hanging high on the walls, but there was no trace of peach trees. I don't know why it is called Taoyuan.

When Zhai Xufei raised his head, he was met with the staring gaze of a giant ghost sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall.

The giant ghost's skin was red to purple, his muscles were as tall and loud as rocks, his red veins were bulging like blood snakes, and his physique, covered in simple armor, was even more majestic than the violent monster.

He had a long, curved horn sticking up in the middle of his forehead, with a straight short horn on each side of his forehead, two fangs curled up at the corners of his mouth, and a stern face with bulging eyes, staring fiercely at the person who broke into Taoyuan.

"We've been discovered!" Zhai Xufei didn't expect that his surroundings were clearly visible. Thinking of their side maintaining the image of a day tour patrol, he just felt relieved but then he felt like something was missing.

Seeing this, Bei Tingjun, who was standing by, panicked and stuffed the end of the chain around his neck, which had not yet been untied, into Zhai Xufei's hand.

Cheng Bai secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and thought to himself, "I've already been exposed, why are you still pretending?"

Zhai Xufei led Bei Tingjun and bowed his head, but Cheng Bai didn't speak. He asked quietly, "What's wrong? Say something quickly to fool him."

Cheng Bai observed for a moment, revealed his figure and said, "Don't pretend. The Ghost King is asleep and can't see anything."

Bei Tingjun came to his senses, reached out and took off the chain around his neck, and said with a grin, "Sleep with your eyes open. If you dare to scare me, I will draw a turtle on his face."

Zhai Xufei stretched himself and restored his nine-headed giant appearance. He whispered, "It's much more comfortable this way. If we fight Gui Mang, I can move freely."

Smoker, Blackfly and Apu jumped off Beitingjun's body and fell to the ground, transforming into human forms.

"I'm also exhausted." Apu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and pointed, saying: "Look, there is an incredible treasure."

The furnishings in Taoyuan are simple. In addition to the Xiyi Ghost King who is as big as a building, there is also a giant white fang that is more than 100 meters long lying horizontally.

Cheng Bai was amazed when he saw it at first sight.

This is not the canine tooth of a wild animal at all, it is clearly a beautiful ivory carving work of art.
