When Xia Yuyang brought the Corpse King back to Xuan An Temple, he almost scared the young Taoist priests in the temple to death.
The flying zombie was extremely powerful, but it could not use spells to change its appearance. Hence, Xia Yuyang could only ask Xie Bi 'an for a cloak for Li Yu to wear.
Fortunately, this flying zombie had already cultivated to the peak. It could walk, run, jump, and fly. Otherwise, if he brought something that could only jump all the way out at night and was covered up tightly, it would probably cause panic.
The Three Pure Bells were in the main hall. Li Yu's identity was special and he couldn't go in directly. Xia Yuyang had to lead him to the side hall where Taoist Priest Zhang was.
After entering the side hall, Li Yu didn't pay attention to the young Taoist priest, who was scared by his cloak. He started to look around the hall.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…it's a wonder that a zombie entered the Taoist temple.”After mingling in the underworld for a while, the Corpse King, who had successfully learned modern grammar from a few modern ghosts, simply abandoned his previous scholarly way of saying things.
Xia Yuyang felt that it was a little funny when he said that. Yes, who would have thought? The Taoist who specialized in treating zombies would actually welcome a zombie guest one day? Just like Li Yu had said, it was a marvelous sight.
"Little Friend Xia, sorry for the long wait." Priest Zhang, who had been informed by the young Taoist priest, rushed over.
Even though his disciple had already told him that the flying zombie was also coming, he still couldn't help but feel terrified when he entered the hall and met the other party.
Li Yu's oppressive aura of a Corpse King was extremely strong for Taoist priests. Priest Zhang's mahogany sword began to buzz uneasily after Li Yu entered the hall.
"Put away your pressure. Priest Zhang is our teammate.”
Xia Yuyang saw through Li Yu's mischief and warned him.
Although zombies did not feel pain, when he heard Xia Yuyang's cold voice, he felt a faint pain in the hole in his chest that he had dug out and barely mended.
This was too depressing! I, the dignified Corpse King, was beaten by a Life Impermanence until I couldn't raise my head. I was even locked up in the underworld to do hard labor. Now that I finally met a normal person who was afraid of me, I'm not allowed to play with him.
Xia Yuyang turned a blind eye to Li Yu's resentful gaze and explained to Priest Zhang what he had found in the underworld in a few words.
"In just a few days, there have been 28 missing cases. If we don't solve this matter as soon as possible, the police won't be able to suppress these cases.”
If the case couldn't be suppressed, it meant that the world would be in chaos, and the corresponding reputation of the underworld might be at a new low. At that time, things would be difficult to end.
"The Netherworld bears the responsibility of reincarnation. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.”Obviously, Priest Zhang had also realized this.
"That's right. That's why I asked Lord Xie and Zhenlong to guard Beijing first. Of the 28 cases, 12 were in Beijing, 7 were in City J, and 9 were in the other 6 cities.”
This was the only clue that Xia Yuyang had gotten from the Special Investigations Department. Gu Peishi knew that things were not good the moment she received these cases. She had sent a letter to the underworld before she could investigate more clues.
There were only five fewer cases in J City than in Beijing. This was also the main reason why Xia Yuyang insisted on staying here to help Priest Zhang.
"Out of the nine cases in J-City, five families have already brought their families to the Xuan An Temple for help. Without exception, the missing people have not returned.”
"I reckon that these people are doomed. Taoist priest, did these people provide any useful information when they came to ask for help?”
It was not that Xia Yuyang was talking bad about the fate of these missing people, but the current situation was not optimistic. The Netherworld could not even locate the souls of these people, so there were only two possibilities:
First, these people were locked up in a place that could isolate them from the underworld.
Secondly, the souls of these people were no longer there.
Neither of these two possibilities was a good sign. The longer they dragged on, the lower the success rate of saving people.
"According to their descriptions, the missing people seem to have low tempers. They either worked overtime late at night, were drunk and delirious, or had just recovered from a long illness.”
People had three fires, one on the forehead and two on the shoulders. People with low fire qi had weak yang qi.
The older generation would often tell the children at home not to walk in places with many bends at night. The cold wind in the corners was strong. If the fire on their shoulders was not blown out, then it was very likely that they would encounter ghosts.
" Low temper…" Xia Yuyang touched his chin and thought for a moment." Taoist priest, what do you think of me?" People born with extreme Yin fate were more likely to attract ghosts.”
"Little friend Xia…the golden light of virtue on your body is so bright that it can illuminate a circle around you.”
In the past, Xia Yuyang was indeed very easy to encounter ghosts. However, ever since he started working in the underworld, he had done a few major things that benefited people and ghosts. Now, he was simply a walking merit shield. The little ghosts with low cultivation would run away when they saw him, let alone come up and cause trouble.
"Well, maybe we can try using a smokescreen. The fact that the paper driver was knocked back by the purple sandalwood bracelet proves that his strength is not high.”
Xia Yuyang felt that there was still a need to meet this bus. Instead of being on guard against the other party, he might as well send himself to the other party's door. He might even be able to find the other party's nest.
"Where did the devotee who escaped encounter the ghost bus?”He decided to go there and wait.
"Next to the fourth bus stop on Garden Road.”
……
At 11:30 pm, Xia Yuyang, who had disguised himself, appeared at the intersection of Huayuan Road on time.
At this time, other than a few delivery men who were still diligently delivering food, there were basically no other living people on the road.
He strolled down the road and silently counted the bus stops that he passed by. Just as he reached the third bus stop, Xia Yuyang's mind flickered, and a hunched old woman appeared in front of him three or four steps away.
Xia Yuyang was very sure that there was no one on the road.
He quietly scanned the surroundings and confirmed that there were no other intersections. In other words, this old woman had appeared out of thin air.
This person... it was not certain whether she was human or not. She had a pair of small feet, wore a floral dress, had white hair, and had a cloth wrapped around her head. She looked like an old nanny who took care of the food and daily life of rich ladies in ancient times.
This was especially true for the old servants in the paper shop who burned them for the deceased.
It seemed that he had made the right decision to come here. After thinking about it, Xia Yuyang had some confidence.
He didn't say anything and just followed behind the old woman as if nothing was wrong, as if he didn't notice anything wrong.
A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it the sound of something in front of them.
"…Don't walk at night."
The old woman kept muttering something, as if she was saying something about not walking at night?
Xia Yuyang couldn't hear what the other party was saying clearly. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and perk up his ears to listen to the movements in front of him.
As he followed, he realized that the old woman had suddenly stopped. She stood there without moving or turning her head. His heart skipped a beat. He observed his surroundings and realized that he had unknowingly reached the fourth bus stop.
In the strange silence, the old woman spoke again. This time, Xia Yuyang heard her clearly. It turned out that the other party had been chanting the same sentence all the way,
"People with low tempers shouldn't walk at night…"
