The fatty's father didn't die?
That's impossible!
At that time, I was standing in front of Lin Acheng and saw him stab the dagger into his own chest. How could he not be dead?
But if he was dead, who was standing on the other side of the river?
Also, why did the fatty tell me that he suspected that his father wasn't dead?
At that time, I thought that the fatty was just imagining things, so I didn't take it to heart. Now, I was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Acheng stood on the other side of the river. Under the light of the flashlight, his face didn't show any expression. His eyes were just as dull as before. After looking at us for a while, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
"Who was that?
Have you seen him before? "
After Lin Acheng disappeared, Yang Shilong turned to ask me with a gloomy face.
I kept silent for a while then shook my head. "It was too dark. I didn't see him clearly."
The fatty's father's case was too strange. Instinctively, I didn't want to tell anyone.
Yang Shilong frowned and seemed to want to ask something. Fang Xing, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth first. He said angrily, "These two days, I felt that something was wrong. I always felt that someone was spying on us, but I couldn't find any obvious signs. I didn't expect it to be that person!
I don't know his purpose yet, but his strength isn't bad. At least, he's not weaker than me. "
I was surprised. Not weaker than Fang Xing?
He's the director of the Metaphysics Union. His strength is at least on the same level as Chairman Xu. He's at the peak of Geomasters!
How could the fatty's father have this kind of strength?
Although I hadn't started cultivating that year, from the talismans that Old He and the others used, I could roughly guess that they were at the Geomaster realm, which was similar to my current strength. At most, they were one realm higher than me.
At that time, Old He's strength wasn't just one realm higher than the fatty's father's. Based on this, the fatty's father's strength was at the same level as mine when I was in university.
It had only been a few years, and the fatty's father was getting old. Even if he was still alive, how could he have this kind of strength?
Was I wrong?
Or, did this person just look like the fatty's father?
But how could there be such a coincidence? A person who looked exactly like the fatty's father and happened to be a Feng Shui master, and I even met him?
After thinking for a long time, my brain was still a mess.
As for Yang Shilong and the others, they began to discuss that person's strength and speculate about that person's objective. They were all worried about whether that person had also discovered the True Dragon's Vein.
With this conjecture, Yang Shilong and the others' expressions became even more gloomy. Fearing that something might happen to the True Dragon Vein, they all sped up and rushed to the other side of the river.
Perhaps it was because there was no moon in the sky, but no matter if it was that person or us, when we crossed the river, the floating corpses didn't move at all. We smoothly reached the riverbank.
On the way here, Yang Shilong and the others were still very interested in the golden head at the bottom of the river, but now they couldn't care less. After reaching the other side of the river, they hurriedly continued forward, trying to find traces of the person from before.
However, the strange thing was that no matter how hard we searched, that person seemed to have disappeared. There was not a single trace left.
Helplessly, Yang Shilong told us to go back to the riverside to set up camp and rest.
Because of this delay, when we returned to the river, the water had returned to its calm state. There wasn't a single corpse to be seen. It was as if the bridge of corpses had never appeared.
Moreover, the golden head was nowhere to be seen. I didn't even know if it had appeared this time or not.
After setting up camp, due to the appearance of that person, we couldn't relax as much as we had in the past few days. Yang Shilong arranged for Lu Zheng and Fang Xing to be on night watch. He said that at least one of them had to be awake at night to ensure our safety.
Usually, a geomancy master wouldn't be affected too much if he didn't sleep for one or two days. However, the following journey wasn't going to last for one or two days. We had to arrange a reasonable plan to ensure the smooth journey.
I also volunteered to be on night watch. However, before Yang Shilong could say anything, Fang Xing curled his lips and told me, "With your current power, I can't be at ease. You should go back to sleep."
Feeling helpless, I had to return to my tent to sleep.
After returning to my tent, I got into my sleeping bag and tossed and turned. I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried.
What had happened today had shocked me so much that I couldn't calm down no matter how hard I tried.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized that if that person was really the fatty's father, regardless of how he came back to life, it would be good for me if he suddenly appeared here.
Fatty had disappeared here, so Fatty's father must have come here to save Fatty.
Previously, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enter the Fire God Temple, and the people from the Metaphysics Association weren't reliable. But now, the fatty's father was here. As long as I could open the Fire God Temple, the fatty's father would be able to enter. He would try his best to find the fatty.
With that in mind, I suddenly felt more confident about rescuing the fatty.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Fang Xing, who was on night watch, woke us up. We packed up and continued to move forward.
After crossing the Yellow Spring River, we entered the Ghost Valley. The landscape of the Crimson Crescent Gorge was revealed in front of us.
As geomancers, Yang Shilong and the others couldn't help but be attracted. They started to talk about the landscape in front of us. Yang Shilong could even see the aura of the Embryonic Dragon Vein.
He was an experienced geomancer. I had discovered the Embryonic Dragon Vein after I had left the Ghost Valley. Who would have thought that Yang Shilong would be able to sense the aura of the Embryonic Dragon Vein before he even entered the gorge?
Of course, it was also because he knew that there was a remnant of a true dragon vein in front of him.
After talking about the true dragon vein, the atmosphere in the team relaxed a little. We didn't mention the person we had met last night.
However, this relaxed atmosphere didn't last long. When we entered the gorge, Yang Shilong and the others' faces turned serious.
After taking a few steps, Fang Xing asked in bewilderment, "Is it my imagination or something? Why do I feel such dense Yin Qi in a canyon with such good Fengshui?"
Yang Shilong shook his head and frowned. "It's not your imagination. This gorge is strange. Guys, you should be careful."
Then, he turned to me and asked, "Did we encounter these ghosts the last time we came here?"
I nodded and told them about the large number of ghosts in this gorge. However, I didn't tell them the number that we saw the last time.
After all, I had collected all the ghosts from the last time. Although there were more ghosts coming out of the gorge, I wasn't sure how many there were. I could only give them a vague number.
As soon as Fang Xing and Lu Zheng heard that it was just a group of ghosts, their faces relaxed.
Although ghosts were hard to deal with, to people at their realm, killing a ghost wasn't as difficult as killing an ant. That was why they didn't put ghosts in their eyes.
When we entered the depths of the gorge, we saw a large group of ghosts. It looked like they had formed a small army. Yang Shilong and the others became tense again.
In fact, the number of ghosts was much smaller than the first time I had come here. They were only one-fifth of the number from the last time. Even so, there were more than ten thousand of them.
As soon as they saw us, the ghosts that didn't have much consciousness started to approach us.
Seeing this, Yang Shilong quickly calmed down. He arranged for the four of us to guard one direction each and began to eliminate the ghosts that were coming at us.
After that, I finally saw the real power of Yang Shilong and the others.
Fang Xing, who was standing next to me, was holding the folding fan magic tool I had seen yesterday. He waved it casually, and a large number of ghosts disappeared.
Lu Zheng and Yang Shilong weren't inferior either. It was easy for them to deal with the ghosts.
I was the only one who was struggling. However, I had stored enough talismans these days. With the support of these talismans and the help of Yang Shilong and the others from time to time, these ghosts couldn't do anything to me for the time being.
While eliminating the ghosts, I felt a little heartache. If I could send so many ghosts to Tong Tong's jade bracelet, her power would increase.
Unfortunately, I didn't dare to bet on Yang Shilong and the others. I couldn't let Tong Tong take the risk. I could only reluctantly give up on these ghosts.
After two or three hours, the Dao energy in my body was almost used up. Finally, the number of ghosts in front of me became less and less. The previous army was gone, and only a few ghosts were left. They came to me one by one, seeking their deaths.
I gritted my teeth. As I was about to eliminate the last of the ghosts, a vague ghost appeared in front of me. It swayed and walked toward me.
At first, I didn't pay attention to it. Out of habit, I wanted to eliminate it. However, when the talisman in my hand was about to touch the ghost, I found that the ghost's face was somewhat familiar.
When I took a closer look, I was startled. That ghost was none other than President Liu!
After a person died, if they were lucky enough to form a ghost, they would have the same appearance as when they died.
This Yin Soul should be the Yin Soul that was formed after Chief Liu's death.
However, Chief Liu had disappeared from the Fire God Temple. How could a ghost come here?
Moreover, if Chief Liu was dead, what about the fatty and the others? Were they also dead?
