Merchant of the Underworld

Soon I thought of Zhang Yi, who was a famous politician during the Warring States Period. When Chu and Qi united to resist Qin, the King of Qin sent Zhang Yi to Chu to alienate the Chu-Qi alliance.

I have to say that Zhang Yi is very smart. He first bribed several important ministers of King Chu Huai with a lot of money, and then tempted King Chu Huai by ceding land as a condition.

King Huai of Chu quickly agreed to sever relations with Qi, which ruined Qu Yuan's many years of hard work.

Later, when King Huai of Chu knew that he had been deceived by Zhang Yi, he became angry and declared war on Qin! But Qu Yuan felt that starting a war at this moment was not good for Chu State, so he remonstrated with King Huai of Chu. He was eventually exiled to a foreign country. He threw himself into the river with hatred and died. After his death, he was named: God of Miluo River.

No wonder Zhang Henshui's ancestors have been killed by water for generations. It turns out that the two families have such a big grudge. But from today's perspective, although I sympathize with Qu Yuan, I firmly oppose him doing this!

At the same time, I felt very disappointed. I didn’t expect that the great sage, whose fame has been passed down through the ages, could not escape from the narrow worldly grudges...

Thinking of this, I suddenly came back to my senses and wanted to chase him, but found that the migrant worker had already left. I yelled at Li Mazi angrily: "Why don't you chase him!"

He didn't speak, but he and Zhang Henshui looked at the big locust tree with their mouths open. I looked over in confusion, and was shocked to find that the big locust tree was continuously emitting black mist.

At the same time, the surrounding environment became colder, and with the cold wind blowing one after another, countless lonely ghosts appeared around us.

Some of them had droopy eyes, some stuck out their long tongues, and some had faces that were soaked and turned white. These ghosts were all wearing wet ancient clothes, and they looked like they were all water ghosts who had been drowned in the past.

They hovered above our heads, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. After a while, the migrant worker came back again, holding an emerald green flute and started playing. As the flute sounded, these ghosts rushed towards us as if they had been ordered.

I didn't expect that the situation would become so critical, so I quickly took out the Sirius Whip to defend myself. I could knock down almost all of them with just one blow of the whip, but these ghosts seemed to be endless and I couldn't beat them all.

Li Mazi opened the umbrella directly next to him. After many times of running-in, this kid can basically control the umbrella. While using his yin-yang umbrella to attack Yin Ling, he also did not forget to protect himself and Zhang Henshui, and seemed to be able to do so with ease.

I blushed for a moment, feeling like a disciple of a church starving his master to death, but the battle on his side took some of the pressure off of me.

Then the magic power of the Heavenly Wolf Whip was exhausted. I shouted loudly, struck the whip horizontally, and quickly uttered the incantation to pray for the gods.

This time, Sword Immortal Lu Dongbin didn't joke with me. As soon as the spell fell, I felt my body became light and airy, and my hands seemed to have infinite strength. I dispersed all the rushing ghosts with a roar.

The migrant worker seemed to feel something, put away his jade flute and plunged into the woods again.

I used my mind to ask Lu Dongbin to take me to catch up. Unexpectedly, he actually said in a deep voice: "The person who tied the bell must untie it. The cause and effect in the world should be solved by themselves. I will not interfere too much..."

After saying that, I felt my body sink, and the Sirius Whip in my hand softened. I couldn't help but complain, thinking that this great immortal was too unreliable and could just leave at any time.

"Brother Zhang, shall we pursue him?"

Li Mazi seemed to be blinded by my actions when I was possessed by Lu Dongbin, and asked with an ignorant look in his eyes.

I turned my head and looked at the strange big locust tree, and gritted my teeth and said: "If we let him escape this time, it will be difficult to catch him next time!"

After saying that, I took the lead and chased after him.

Not long after I ran, I saw traces of the migrant worker. He was walking leisurely in the forest, as if he didn't expect that we would catch up.

Anyway, his most powerful skill is illusion. Now that Lu Dongbin has helped me deal with the group of water ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore. I simply stopped hiding and chased after him with a loud shout.

The migrant worker turned around when he heard the sound, his face suddenly changed when he saw us, and he hid in the bushes desperately.

Because we had consumed a lot of energy fighting the ghosts before, we couldn't catch up with him for a while, but luckily we could see him.

Gradually, a simple farmhouse appeared in front of him. The migrant worker hid in the yard, but he didn't lock the door. I guess he knew that locking the door would be useless, right?

When I walked closer, I was surprised to find that the small farmyard was actually a paper shop, filled with reed poles and layers of colored paper. There were more than a dozen paper figures standing in the yard.

These paper figures are so lifelike that they look almost like real people from a distance.

Then I looked carefully and felt that there should be no back door here. In order to prevent the other party from using illusions again, I added a drop of patchouli liquid again, and then rushed into the house first, but it turned out that there was no one inside.

"Could he still be invisible?"

Li Mazi muttered in confusion, and then the man's laughter came from outside: "Hahaha, you will all die today!"

"Damn, I've fallen into a trap!" I was stunned for a moment when I heard the voice, and then I came to my senses.

Since this guy can create illusions, he can definitely conjure up a person. In other words, the person who led us into the yard just now is not him at all.

I suddenly had an ominous premonition, so I pulled Li Mazi and Zhang Henshui and started to run out. As soon as I arrived in the yard, I found that all the paper figures on the ground came to life!

In other words, they are not paper figures at all, but corpses. More than a dozen zombies stood upright in the yard, all covered with a thick layer of white frost. Even though I stood more than ten meters away, I could still really feel the chill radiating from the zombies!

Behind the zombie stood a woman wearing a black silk mask. When I looked carefully, I found that this woman was the woman who had worshiped Qu Yuan before. The male migrant worker stood next to her and stared at me coldly.

The woman was shaking a sand washing net in her hand. As her shaking speed became faster and faster, the zombies jumped up one after another, and then rushed towards us in unison.

Li Mazi looked at the group of green-faced and fanged zombies, and his arrogance and ambition disappeared in an instant. He slithered up behind me. I took out a magic talisman with a sullen face and slapped the head of the zombie closest to me. Go up.

Although my talisman is not a professional corpse-killing talisman, I believe it can hold up for a while. Unexpectedly, the zombie only paused for a few seconds, and then the talisman changed from yellow to black, and then turned into pieces with a bang!

At the moment when the magic talisman exploded, all these zombies became agitated and grabbed us with their claws and teeth.

I took a step back, slammed the door, and pushed all the tables, chairs, and benches behind the door. Then I saw zombies swarming and hitting the door!
