Chapter 300

Looking at the deathly silent entrance of the Yinhe, Xu Qing felt that his heart, which had been dead for many years, had the feeling of beating again.

The Yinhe before him was like a treasure-digging site buried with countless corpse blind boxes.

Xu Qing didn't know how much disaster the old woman's wooden ladle had caused to the Yinhe entrance in the Jinmen area.

Not to mention whether powerful ghosts and ancient gods like Ghost Law, Witch Sacrifice, and Witch Qi had been injured, at the very least, his old neighbor, the Duo'e Ghost King, didn't look like he was in a good situation.

Besides the Duo'e Ghost King, the skeleton soldiers led by the Eight Banners Marshals, the rebels and chaotic parties who came to assist the Yin-Erosion Dharma King, and people like Ji Lingzhou and Han Renshan who attempted to excavate the gods' relics were all in the Yinhe Ancient Path.

If the extent of this disaster affected everyone, Xu Qing didn't even dare to imagine how big a bargain he would pick up!

However, before collecting the corpses, he still had to do some testing.

Xu Qing returned to the Twin Coffins, then took four paper figures, and equipped each paper figure with a fire starter and a sturdy iron fire cannon.

Since he was going to visit an old neighbor, he had to bring some gifts, right?

Xu Qing controlled the four paper figures to disperse from four directions of the Ghost King's Mausoleum.

When each paper figure arrived at a suitable position, Xu Qing manipulated those paper figures to take out the fire starters and ignite the fuses of the iron fire cannons.

The white fuse, only an inch long, was ignited at a touch, followed by four thunderous sounds that broke the silence of the Yinhe Ancient Path.

Xu Qing, who was twenty miles away, could hear the movement coming from afar.

The power of these iron fire cannons might not be strong enough, but the momentum was grand enough.

After the loud noise, the Ghost King's Mausoleum remained deathly silent.

Xu Qing watched from his side for a long time, and not a single ghost soldier came out of the huge mausoleum to investigate the situation.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea's time, Xu Qing finally saw a skeleton ghost shadow crawling out sluggishly from the collapsed entrance of the mausoleum.

The ghost shadow was wearing neat armor, and by the looks of it, it seemed like a ghost general.

But with that head-probing, neck-shrinking posture, where was there any trace of the fierce ghost and brave general from the past?

Xu Qing felt that if he were to shout loudly with the Corpse Roar Technique right now, this ghost general would be so scared that he would wet himself and crawl back into the grave!

Seeing that there was no movement in the mausoleum, the ghost general gathered his courage and moved toward the direction where the loud noise came from.

Seeing this, Xu Qing felt happy in his heart.

Alright! You're the one!

In front of the big pit created by the iron fire cannon, the patrolling ghost general grabbed a piece of broken tomb brick blackened by gunpowder and sniffed it in confusion.

There was no magic power fluctuation, only the extremely rigid and fierce temperature like charcoal remaining. The ghost general had never seen such a thing, but inexplicably felt it looked familiar.

In a flash, it remembered that many years ago, the Ghost Altar General had gone out on patrol and had been seriously injured once. At that time, the blackened bones of the other party had this smell...

In front of the big pit, the patrolling ghost general was squatting and pondering, when suddenly it felt the space in front of it darken.

The patrolling ghost general froze all over and slowly turned its head.

It saw ten tall, fierce, and murderous Chang Generals surrounding it from behind.

Those Chang Generals were all green-faced and fanged, with blood-red light in their eyes, and their height of a zhang was even more oppressive than the Vajra Guardian Buddha statues in the temple.

"."

The ghost general looked at the big pit behind it, and then at the Chang Generals surrounding it from the front; it had never been so desperate in its life.

"Bullying the few with the many, winning without honor..."

Before the ghost general could finish speaking, it was drowned under the chaotic fists of the Chang Generals!

When they stepped out the three ghost fires in the ghost general's eyes and chest, the Chang Generals consciously withdrew to the side, revealing the paper-figure funeral team that had been waiting for a long time.

The paper figures skillfully threw the skeleton frame into the coffin, covered it with the lid, and then carried the guest, flying the funeral flags, and walked in the opposite direction of the Ghost King's Mausoleum.

Twenty miles away, the paper figure team walked into the underground tunnel. In the depths of the tunnel, Xu Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, lifted the coffin lid, took out the skeleton, and waved his hand behind him.

Those paper figures received the order and carried the empty coffin again, walked out of the tunnel, and continued to collect and excavate the scattered skeleton remains around the Ghost King's Mausoleum.

Xu Qing wasn't afraid of being discovered by the Duo'e Ghost King; he had previously speculated that the Ghost King's Mausoleum had suffered a disaster, and now the reaction of his old neighbor confirmed it by eight or nine parts.

Furthermore, taking advantage of the paper figures' activities, he had already located the position of the Eight Banners Marshals and others through the precious sword gifted by Zuo Zixiong.

Even if his old neighbor really came to his door, he could use the Divine Wandering Heavenly Book to go to another neighbor's house to avoid the limelight.

"The precious sword can sense Zuo Zixiong's position, which means he hasn't been buried in the Yinhe..."

Xu Qing thought about it and felt relieved. The Eight Banners Marshals had the blessing of national fortune, so it was not difficult to protect a Zuo Zixiong.

However, comparing it like this, it made the Duo'e Ghost King seem somewhat shameful.

After all, when the disaster struck, this ghost king chose to abandon his troops and flee by himself.

It is said that a monarch dies for the country, and the Son of Heaven guards the national gate.

The Duo'e Ghost King chose to return to guard the tomb gate.

In the depths of the tomb, Xu Qing reached out to touch the skeleton of the ghost general before him.

The Scripture of Transcending People flipped pages with a rustle, and the skeleton ghost general's lantern of life quickly reached the end.

Xu Qing saw the Duo'e Ghost King hiding in the depths of the mausoleum, not daring to take a step out, and also saw the skeleton ghost soldiers lying horizontally and vertically in the various passages of the Ghost King's Mausoleum.

Those ghost soldiers, without exception, had their ghost fires extinguished.

Only the ministers and concubines with slightly higher cultivation in the inner circle of the royal mausoleum had luckily escaped a disaster.

When Xu Qing's iron fire cannon resounded through the royal mausoleum, the Duo'e Ghost King almost hid under the imperial desk in front of many ministers.

It can be seen how much psychological shadow the old woman's wooden ladle had caused this ghost king.

After learning about the situation inside the Ghost King's Mausoleum, Xu Qing's expression was strange.

The bad news was that the Duo'e Ghost King was too cautious; before the disaster arrived, he ran faster than anyone else, and it seemed he hadn't suffered much damage, psychological trauma aside.

The good news was that this ghost king had already become a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, and within a short time, he shouldn't show his head.

In addition, Xu Qing also obtained some other key information from the ghost general.

That was that the wooden ladle dropped by the old woman was aimed at the Netherworld portal guarded by Ghost Law, Witch Sacrifice, and Witch Qi. Ghost Law, Witch Sacrifice, and Witch Qi took the initiative to bear most of the damage to prevent problems with the portal.

"Ghost Law was originally a thing born in the Nine Netherworld, but it is so wary of the opening of the Netherworld portal..."

Thinking of Ghost Law's massive body that couldn't be measured and its profound cultivation that couldn't be fathomed, Xu Qing didn't dare to imagine how powerful the Dharma Corpse in the old woman's mouth was.

"When the Dharma Corpse appears in the world, humans, ghosts, gods, and Buddhas are all wary..."

Xu Qing pondered the characteristics of the Dharma Corpse and suddenly had an absurd idea.

This kind of thing that jumps out of the Three Realms, is not in the Five Elements, and shouldn't exist in the first place, is very much like a zombie that has developed extremely high intelligence and has cultivated to the extreme...

Xu Qing forcibly suppressed this thought; if so, shouldn't he also be shouted at by everyone?

Thoughts turned back.

Besides Ghost Law, who was wary of the opening of the Nine Netherworld portal, the thoughts of the Eight Banners Marshals and the Yin-Erosion Dharma King were much simpler.
