This was the information reflected from the incomplete karma picture on the troupe leader's body. It was not complete at all, but it gave enough key clues.
Ji Xiu told Ninth Uncle about the karmic scene he had seen.
Uncle Nine frowned." It seems that this matter is related to the thing in the Yellow River. It's not simple there." It was the most mysterious river in China. Countless people drowned every year. The water there was so deep that even the reapers of the netherworld did not dare to go to the Yellow River to steal souls. Those who fell into the Yellow River could only be reborn.”
"Ding! Triggered quest: Yellow River Blood Coffin. Quest reward: 3000 experience points, 1 dragon egg.”
Seeing this mission, Ji Xiu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked the system.
"System, what is a dragon egg? Could it be that it can hatch a dragon?”
"The dragon egg contains a young dragon. After the host obtains it, he can pay a certain price to hatch a young dragon.”
Hearing this, Ji Xiu immediately became excited.
He now had a fire dragon by his side, which already made him powerful, far surpassing a Taoist expert like Ninth Uncle. If he added a dragon pet, Ji Xiu's strength would also rise along with it.
This mission had to be completed.
However, the plot of Zombie Supremacy had already begun. After settling the matters here, he could make a trip to the Yellow River.
Anyway, there was no time limit for this system mission, so he could go anytime.
Next, Ninth Uncle put down the bodies of the actors and ordered some people to bury them.
However, Ji Xiu saw that Ninth Uncle's expression was very ugly, as if he was worried about something.
"What's wrong, Ninth Uncle? What are you thinking about?" Ji Xiu asked.
"Sigh."
Ninth Uncle sighed and said," I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. These people from the opera troupe died unjustly. It just so happened that the Ghost Festival is coming. The Yin Qi in heaven and earth has increased greatly." On the day of the Ghost Festival, these people would probably come back to cause trouble.”
"It's just a few vengeful souls. I don't think they can cause any waves.”Ji Xiu disagreed.
"I hope so." Ninth Uncle said.
For the time being, this was the only arrangement for the troupe.
Just like that, a day passed. Today was the night of the Ghost Festival.
Once the sky turned dark, every household closed their doors, and even the night market was empty.
Even the common people knew that the 15th of July was the day when the gates of hell opened. Very few people would cause trouble tonight.
Ninth Uncle had come to drink tea with Ji Xiu because he was worried that something would happen tonight and that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
The two of them sat in the courtyard and chatted casually.
At this moment, Qiu Sheng ran over with an anxious expression and said,""Master, something bad has happened. There's a problem with the troupe again.”
"What happened?" Ninth Uncle suddenly became nervous.
"Master, didn't you arrange for me and Wencai to keep an eye on the troupe?" Qiu Sheng asked. Just now, when it was dark, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the troupe. Then…two drunk security guards ran in to listen to the performance. Wen Cai and I couldn't stop them.”
"Nonsense!"
Ninth Uncle slammed the table and shouted," Everyone in the troupe is dead. That was clearly a ghost opera. Someone actually dared to barge in recklessly."”
As he spoke, Ninth Uncle and Qiusheng left in a hurry.
Ji Xiu also followed.
Because just now, Ji Xiu had finally received the main storyline quest for Zombie Supreme.
"Ding! You have triggered a mission. You have cleared the main storyline of Supreme Zombie. The reward is 3000 experience points and one treasure chest.”
……
Not long after, they appeared outside the studio.
Sure enough, the gongs and drums were beating tightly in the studio. The show had already begun.
However, the people in the troupe had long died. Ninth Uncle did not invite any other troupe. Who could perform in there?
"Where's Wencai?" Qiu Sheng looked around but could not find any trace of Wen Cai.
They came to the outside of the studio and looked inside.
As expected.
On the stage, a few actors dressed in costumes were performing on the stage. Their figures were erratic.
These actors were the ones who had hanged themselves yesterday.
Their babbling voices did not have the taste of opera at all. Instead, they were ghastly and cold, as if they came from another world.
"Master, look, Wen Cai is also inside.”
Qiu Sheng suddenly said.
Below the stage, Wen Cai and two members of the security team stood there in a daze. Their eyes were empty, and the corners of their mouths had a stiff smile as they clapped non-stop.
"They were bewitched, and so was Wen Cai.”Ninth Uncle frowned.
"I'll go and pull them out now.”Qiu Sheng said.
Suddenly.
On the other side of the stage, a cold wind swept across.
There were two entrances to the stage. The other entrance was covered in a sinister mist. Soon after, rows of ghosts entered the stage. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of ghosts filling the stage.
"Oh no, the gates of hell are wide open. The reapers are escorting those souls who have yet to reincarnate to the human world to enjoy the offerings.”" This ghost show was originally arranged for them," Ninth Uncle said." But now, everyone in the troupe has turned into evil ghosts. It has become a real ghost show."”
"Then what?" Qiu Sheng asked nervously.
"Once we are attacked by the Yin Qi, I'm afraid it will cause chaos.”Ninth Uncle frowned.
At this moment, four figures appeared in the stage again. They were wearing black and white robes. They turned into a gust of cold wind and appeared behind the Century Ghost.
In an instant, the restless hundred ghosts quieted down.
"It's the reapers." Ninth Uncle said.
"With the reapers watching over these ghosts, there shouldn't be any problems.”Qiu Sheng asked.
"I hope so, Qiusheng. Now, I want you to go in and bring Wen Cai and the others out. I'll tie your wrist with a red string. After you go in, remember not to communicate with any ghosts, and you can't break the red string.”Ninth Uncle said to Qiu Sheng.
"What if I talk to them?”Qiu Sheng asked.
"If it's light, you'll be haunted by vengeful souls. If it's serious, you might be tainted by unnecessary karma.”Ji Xiu said indifferently.
"Not bad."
"You have to act according to the situation after you enter." Ninth Uncle nodded.”
