Chapter 327: Wind and Rain Have Come

Whoo whoo...

With the approach of night, the wind gradually grew stronger, blowing the leaves and making a rustling sound; in the evening wind, Du Rushi's back looked a bit desolate.

Inside the hall, there were two statues.

One was the Water Official - Guangde Long Wang statue.

One was the Water Official - Xuanming Great Lord statue.

The two discussed and chose the statues they wanted to worship; Du E walked to the Guangde Long Wang statue, expecting the old Long Wang to give her a useful weapon.

Although she had a brush in her hand, that brush was actually a magic tool, and using it to poke the skulls of malevolent entities was the wrong way to use it.

Wu Xian chose the Xuanming Great Lord statue.

He was not short of weapons, so he could just choose a satisfactory magic tool to use; accompanied by familiar sound and light special effects, the outlines of three magic tools appeared with water splashes.

Wu Xian took one look and his eyes went dark.

The most conspicuous among the three magic tools was a pair of blue embroidered dance shoes faintly flickering in the water light.

It was exactly the Moon Palace Dance Shoes that Wu Xian had given up before!

These dance shoes were once worn by the Moon Palace Fairy, and magical power remained on them; after putting on these shoes, the body would become flexible and resilient, and one could slide on any plane.

Wu Xian sighed: "Fine, wasted another spot; I'm not a pervert, what kind of system is it to wear this kind of shoe?"

He continued to look down, and his chest felt tight.

The second magic tool was also an old friend, appearing every time just to participate; its name was the Pure Whisk, and its effect was to cleanse the body and land and sweep away filth; Wu Xian couldn't choose this one either.

Therefore, Wu Xian placed his hope on the third magic tool.

This third magic tool was named the Magic Stick; of course, it was not the traditional edible weapon of France, but a stick used for casting spells; holding this stick to release spell talismans could increase a certain amount of power.

If it were usual, Wu Xian would like it very much, but now Wu Xian didn't have many spell talismans available, so the cost-effectiveness of choosing this magic tool was really not high.

Therefore, after struggling for a while, Wu Xian could only choose the Moon Palace Dance Shoes...

After a burst of water light.

A pair of blue dance shoes appeared in Wu Xian's hand.

He smelled them with disgust: "Ah... this Moon Palace Fairy wouldn't have athlete's foot, would she!"

This scene was just seen by Du E, her small face full of disgust; she only hated that she didn't have a mobile phone in her hand at this time to record Wu Xian's appearance.

Since the shoes had already been taken, Wu Xian could only put them on.

"Hmm, the shoe size is just right; this Moon Palace Fairy's feet are quite big..."

Except for the appearance not satisfying Wu Xian, these shoes were quite comfortable to wear; icy and cool, not stuffy at all; although the soles were very thin, walking in them didn't hurt the feet at all; wearing this kind of shoe felt like an underfoot massage air conditioner, and the experience was very comfortable.

Afterwards, Wu Xian cut open his trouser legs so that they would be looser, and he could slightly cover the shoes.

The weapon Du E obtained was a long tube-shaped weapon, black, thinner and longer than a flute, somewhat like a blowpipe in a movie, but much larger than a blowpipe; Wu Xian speculated that this was a long-range weapon.

The worship ended.

The two should get down to business.

What they were going to do next was very clear.

Find the offerings, funerary objects, and coffins before midnight, and then complete the funeral before twelve o'clock at midnight.

Because the He family was too large and time was too tight, it was unrealistic to find other new Lotus Juanren to act together; now only Wu Xian and Du E could act together temporarily.

Wanting to complete these goals was simply full of difficulties.

When in the No-Funeral Village, there were three dangers: the coffin transport, the moonlight monster, and the walking corpses in the wilderness. And in the Undying City He family, there were also three things they needed to worry about: the moonlight monster, the ghosts and monsters of the He family, and the Three Immortals who were still mysterious until now.

In addition, Li Mama mentioned the 'setting of the contract'; according to Wu Xian's speculation, this setting of the contract should refer to signing a deed of sale, and it's possible that they would be enslaved by the Three Immortals at midnight.

Wu Xian sighed: "I miss the pale ghosts now; if the ghosts were still there, we could directly teleport into the coffins without having to search hard."

Du E looked at the ground.

"Even if the ghosts were still there, the ability to teleport might not still be there..."

"Also, let me tell you a piece of good news; the Li Mama we just killed should count as an elite enemy, because of this sneak attack, we will have an easier time later."

"When I just woke up, I killed a maid, and that maid didn't even drop malevolent incense; it seems that in the Undying City, only malevolent entities above a certain level will appear with malevolent incense; compared to the No-Funeral Village, it should have entered hard mode."

After some discussion.

The two set an action plan.

The plan was actually very simple; they already had ideas when they were still in the No-Funeral Village.

That is to wait for the moonlight!

Old Tang had told such a story; he had once been exposed to the moonlight of the Undying City due to carelessness, and as a result, he saw a mass grave, and there were things Wu Xian and the others needed in that mass grave.

This shows that when there is moonlight and when there is no moonlight, people are in two spaces; the clues they couldn't find during the day might be clearly visible under the moonlight.

Du E thought for a while and said: "Since we have to wait for the moonlight, we can't wait in the hall; this place is too conspicuous, it's possible that enemies will come over in a while; do you know where waiting can be safer?"

"Safe..."

Wu Xian thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know, the Seventh Young Mistress's room!"

Du E blinked: "Are you missing her?"

Wu Xian shook his head: "Those young mistresses are all ordinary women; since they have been able to survive in the He family for so long, it shows that their rooms are safe at night; we shouldn't be so unlucky to run into the Seventh Young Master of the He Mansion who only comes once every ten days."

"But you have already let her go; do you know where she lives?"

Wu Xian smiled: "I don't know, but it's easy to deduce; these young mistresses are actually birds in a cage, with limited range of activity; the place where I met her should be near her room!"

The plan was drawn up.

The two walked out of the hall full of confidence.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate, their expressions collapsed at the same time.

Patter!

A drop of water fell on Wu Xian's head.

It's raining...

It's actually raining! While they were discussing the plan, the sky was covered with dark clouds without knowing it, and raindrops fell with a splash, quickly wetting the ground.

Du E was silent for a long while: "How long do you think this rain will last?"

Wu Xian looked at the sky; the dark clouds were as thick as if the night had arrived early.

"I don't know how long the rain will last, but what is certain is that this cloud will not disperse for a while; it is very likely that we won't see a ray of moonlight tonight..."

Du E was a bit conflicted: "Since that's the case, we only have one way left."

Wu Xian was just about to nod in agreement when he saw a group of shadows appear at the door; the retainers of the He Mansion had already discovered the two of them and were rushing toward them with gloomy faces!
