Merchant of the Underworld

After walking forward for about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the cemetery that Yanyan mentioned.

This cemetery is not big and looks very dilapidated. Yanyan said that this cemetery has been built for more than 40 years.

When Wei Yu was following, he only saw one tomb, but there were quite a few graves in front of him. It seemed that Wei Yu had been played by Wang Qin from beginning to end that day.

I suddenly felt a little scared. If the female ghost had killed her at that time, would Xiaowei Yu have...

"Brother Zhang, there is a secret to the arrangement of tombstones."

I was thinking about Oudama, but I was called back to reality by Mazi Li.

I followed his train of thought and looked at the tombstones around me, and was surprised to find that the tombstones were arranged like a maze!

If Yanyan hadn't led the way, we might have been trapped as soon as we entered.

Suddenly, white mist appeared in the air, just like what happened to Oudama. There was no sign at this moment, but the next second the white mist was so big that even the people around him couldn't see clearly.

"Mazi, follow me, don't get lost!"

I shouted loudly to Li Mazi, and he responded and asked me to take good care of Yanyan. I thought my butt was burning and I was still thinking about picking up girls.

But I still subconsciously looked back, only to find that Yanyan was gone... I shouted several times without getting any response!

An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart. After hearing my voice, Li Mazi ran over excitedly and asked, "Yanyan is missing?"

There was indescribable anxiety on Li Mazi's face. I thought to myself, are you really attracted to that female college student?

But she disappeared as soon as we entered the heavy fog. Is this a coincidence?

No, this is definitely not a coincidence.

So what was her purpose in deceiving us here?

These questions kept colliding in my mind. When I came back to my senses, I found that Li Mazi was also missing!

"What a bastard!"

Now even a fool can understand that the cemetery is a trap set by a female ghost. What’s funny is that Li Mazi and I jumped into this trap without hesitation.

At the moment, I couldn't think about those problems at all and shouted Li Mazi's name loudly.

There was no response from the surroundings, only the echo of my own words: "Li Mazi, where are you?"

All this seemed too weird. I took out the Silver Moon Scimitar from my arms and stood on guard, feeling that Wang Qin wanted to attack us.

"Giggle!"

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in my ears, and my heart suddenly jumped.

I started to get scared. People are afraid of unknown things. This is nature. As a human being, I cannot escape this law.

I would rather be torn to pieces by Lu Bu, the unparalleled god of war, than endure this kind of oppression!

"Hahaha……"

The laughter sounded again, and the location of the laughter seemed to be closer to me than before. I was already blind in the heavy fog and couldn't see anything.

I kept telling myself to calm down, but I didn't expect that the fear in my heart was getting stronger and stronger. The white mist was like an abyss, and I even thought I would be trapped and die here.

"Hey Hey."

This laughter almost rang in front of me!

"What is it, come out!"

I couldn't stand the oppression anymore, so I yelled to hide my fear, but the voice disappeared again, and it seemed that only my own voice was left in the whole world echoing over and over again.

I kept telling myself to calm down, but I couldn't do it at all. More and more laughter sounded in my ears, from men, women, children, and the elderly.

Just imagine, in an environment where you can't see anything at all, there are hundreds of dead people around you... and they are smiling at you!

I was on the verge of collapse, but suddenly I heard Xiao Weiyu's trembling voice: "Bad brother, recite sutras!"

"Yes, I can read the Tao Te Ching."

I sat cross-legged on the floor and read the Tao Te Ching loudly.

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature!"

The laughter around me got louder as my voice got louder. I knew they were trying to disturb my mind, so I ignored them and focused on reciting the scriptures.

Gradually, I entered a state of selflessness, and the laughter around me finally disappeared completely.

"Holy shit, little brother, what kind of place is this?"

As Li Mazi's voice came, I subconsciously opened my eyes, only to find that the cemetery had changed.

Although the cemetery has been built for decades, it is still very clean. It is different from the dilapidated appearance when I first came in. The tombstones have not been turned into a maze. Could it be that everything just now was an illusion?

Yes, it must be an illusion. Recalling the scenes just now, I found that they seemed to be just to disturb my mind.

They did succeed, and if Oyu hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized I could recite the Tao Te Ching.

I have to reconsider a question: Does all this have anything to do with Yanyan? What role did she play in it?

"Mazi, I think Yanyan lured us here after listening to the female ghost!"

"..."

Li Mazi frowned and insisted on pulling me around to look for Yanyan.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

We walked forward for a while and met an old man who came to visit the grave. He saw that we were looking for someone and asked him a kind question.

"Old man, have you ever seen a girl in a red dress on the road?"

I described Yanyan's appearance to the old man, but the old man kept shaking his head.

"Uncle, are there any other ways down the mountain nearby?"

Li Mazi asked unwillingly.

But the old man shook his head and said, "I have been visiting my son's grave for almost twenty years. There is only one way up to the cemetery."

The old man's words completely gave up Li Mazi's heart. At the same time, they also verified my guess that Yanyan and the female ghost were in the same group.

So why did she do this? I couldn't understand that if she harmed me, she would harm her own parents!

"Let's go, little brother, find a place to pay homage to my love that withered before it blossomed."

Li Mazi said sadly, admitting that he had a crush on Yanyan.

Although I have always wanted to help him find a wife, Li Mazi always refused for various reasons.

Who knew that he would actually be attracted to a female college student? In the old society, he would have been Yanyan's father at his age!

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized something and couldn't help but grin.

It seems that Li Mazi and I should be natural partners. Every time when I am at a loss, he can always help me think of a breakthrough point for the problem, although most of them are said inadvertently...

"Damn it, bro, the little flower of love has withered, how can you still laugh?" Li Mazi complained very unhappily when he saw me giggling.

I patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Mazi, we have to go back quickly."

Li Mazi glanced at me and nodded seriously. Although he didn't know what I had thought of yet, he understood that I already had an idea.

What is needed is this tacit understanding, otherwise why would those old guys in the Wuhan circle jokingly call us Jiu Ma Pi?

Oh, it’s Jiuma CP...

We took a taxi back to Gao Desheng's house and quickly ran upstairs.

Sure enough, just as I guessed, Yanyan and Wang Qin were both at home.

Gao Desheng was choked by Wang Qin and was struggling hard. Surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw me and Li Mazi, and he waved his hands to express help.

"Bold Yinling, Zhang Jiulin, a descendant of the Heavenly Master, is here, and he is going to be captured without hesitation!"

This is my latest opening line, but Yin Xinyue complained many times, saying it was too tacky! But I think this sentence is very strong, is it true?

But I'm not bragging. On Fanfan's birthday some time ago, the head of the Zhang family came over to include our father and son's names in the family tree, and told me that the ancestor of the Zhang family was the famous Zhang Tianshi.

From then on, I would call myself a Heavenly Master whenever I had nothing to do.
