Chapter 35: Offering Help

~8 min read 1,553 words

On Mount Qianyuan in Xinglong Ling, Li Songcheng, a Divine Catcher of the Ghost Suppression Division, came here according to Su Xiao's order to find that senior expert.

At this time, the sky was still quite dim, and Mount Qianyuan was desolate, with nothing but a few sparse trees and withered grass.

This left Li Songcheng feeling a bit confused, but he didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only stand there honestly and shout loudly at the air: "Silver-badge Divine Catcher Li Songcheng of the Ghost Suppression Division has come to pay a visit!"

"..."

The sounds of birds and insects rang in his ears, but there was no other movement.

At this moment, Li Songcheng felt like a big fool. After looking up and left and right, he simply couldn't find a single person.

It was a pity that this was an order personally issued by Su Xiao, so he could only follow it. He then opened his mouth again and shouted loudly at the surroundings: "Silver-badge Divine Catcher Li Songcheng of the Ghost Suppression Division has come to pay a visit, please show yourself, Senior!"

"..."

The surroundings remained silent, but Li Songcheng suddenly noticed some slight movement under a patch of mud.

This made him swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily. Then, a wooden arm painted with red lacquer stretched out from the mud, followed by a wooden man standing straight with a "click-clack" sound.

"C-could it be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Senior?"

Seeing this wooden man, Li Songcheng immediately understood that this must be an arrangement specifically made by the other party here.

"Click-clack"

This wooden man naturally couldn't speak, but just nodded stiffly, which counted as an answer to his question.

"Paying respects to Senior. Coming to find Senior this time is truly because there is an important matter to request Senior's assistance."

Seeing that the wooden man had no other actions, Li Songcheng hurriedly explained his purpose.

"The ghost disaster in Changshou Town, east of Luohe City, is spreading. Although we have already sent people there, we discovered that the Incense Temple is involved. Our division's master, Lord Su Xiao, requests that Senior can take action to assist in resolving this ghost disaster."

"These things are the reward for Senior's action this time, I hope Senior can accept them."

Having said that, he immediately took out a leather pouch and then took out all the things inside.

A dozen incense sticks of different colors, a stack of yellow paper talismans, two substitute-death puppets, an old oil lamp, and a special dagger.

Through the wooden man, Lin Feng could clearly feel that these items were all filled with ghostly power. There was no doubt that these were ghost objects from the Ghost Suppression Division!

Far away in the wooden house at the Ding-character graveyard, Lin Feng began to ponder. The things the other party brought out this time were still quite attractive to him.

It was just that he didn't know how serious this ghost disaster was. If it was too dangerous, it would become a case of having the life to take the reward but not the life to spend it.

"How about I agree first, and then see the specific situation when the time comes? Anyway, it's just a fake identity. If it really doesn't work, I'll just run away."

Lin Feng didn't have the idea of dying for the Ghost Suppression Division or that he must complete a task just because he took someone's things.

As for the consequences, he didn't care. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was just a fictional identity; if he had to discard it, he would discard it.

"Click-clack-clack"

Seeing the wooden man nod, Li Songcheng was instantly overjoyed, and then nimbly put these things back into the leather pouch and handed it to the wooden man.

"Senior, the situation is urgent. If it's convenient, please set off now. Lord Su Xiao is already waiting."

Then, Li Songcheng hurriedly said this to Lin Feng. The ghost objects they took out this time were definitely of great value, so naturally, they hoped Lin Feng could set off as soon as possible.

"Click-clack"

The wooden man raised his hand to take these things, then pointed to the surroundings, signaling him to lead the way.

"Senior, please wait a moment!"

Li Songcheng understood immediately. He immediately transmitted this information to Su Xiao in the city through the methods of the Ghost Suppression Division.

Soon, a red light flashed on the mountain, and the pale-faced Su Xiao appeared quietly in front of the wooden man. After learning that Lin Feng was willing to help, Su Xiao immediately put down everything in his hands and used his Ghost Domain to rush over.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Su Xiao didn't beat around the bush when he arrived here, and directly cupped his hands and bowed to the wooden man.

"Click-clack"

The wooden man nodded, and then the red paint on his body peeled off, turning into a patch of strange, filthy blood.

Then, an illusory figure slowly emerged from this patch of filthy blood, and the Xi Gui (Play Ghost) in the image of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven gradually appeared.

This was the first time Lin Feng had used the Ghost Domain to move. It had to be said that it was truly a rather unique experience.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Su Xiao didn't dare to delay and immediately used his Ghost Domain to wrap himself and Lin Feng up, quickly moving toward Changshou Town.

Soon, Su Xiao and Lin Feng appeared quietly outside Changshou Town, and then they saw the strange town ahead.

It was already late at night, but the town ahead was still brightly lit, and white lanterns with the character "Dian" (Funeral) written on them illuminated the entire town exceptionally brightly.

At the same time, Lin Feng could still see a scene of prosperity in the town, with people coming and going on the streets, and even the shops and stalls on both sides were still open.

It was just that if one looked closely, one would find that what these shops were selling were actually funeral items such as wreaths, paper money, paper figures, and coffins.

The air was filled with the scent of burning incense, and thick white smoke swirled over and around the town, making it difficult to see the specific situation inside.

"Senior, this is Changshou Town. According to the records in the files, only the legendary Incense Temple can achieve this level of incense scent."

"This town has probably been replaced by a Ghost Domain. The manpower we arranged to come over has clearly been drawn into it, and no one knows what the specific situation inside is now."

Su Xiao carefully observed the scene before him and then slowly said these two sentences to Lin Feng.

"Hmm, do you know the origin of this Incense Temple?"

Lin Feng nodded and then turned to ask him. Since it concerned his own life, he didn't want to rashly break into some extremely terrifying area.

"Legend has it that the Incense Temple is a special lineage of incense makers. Besides making various ghost incense, they are most skilled at raising and driving ghosts through the method of incense and fire sacrifice."

"Their strength is not simple. The more chaotic the world is, the more they will appear. The scale of the Incense Temple entrenched in Changshou Town this time is not large, and the scope of influence is only one town. I think the strongest ghost should not be more terrifying than the Starving Ghost from last time."

As the person in charge of the Ghost Suppression Division in Luohe City, Su Xiao was naturally very clear about this secret information.

"I see."

Lin Feng nodded, and then three ghosts appeared beside him one after another. The Tanshi Gui (Gluttonous Ghost), which was originally just a small ghost, had reached the level of a Fierce Ghost after digesting the Starving Ghost.

At this moment, just after being summoned by Lin Feng, it opened its mouth wide to inhale the incense smoke permeating the surroundings.

Clearly, this incense smoke was not ordinary smoke, otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Tanshi Gui.

"Let's go, let's go and meet this Incense Temple!"

Then, Lin Feng let the Tanshi Gui scout the path in front, the Tou Gui (Embroidery Ghost) and the Puppet Ghost bring up the rear, while he himself carried the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and walked in the middle with Su Xiao.

"Yes!"

Watching the three ghosts in front and behind him, Su Xiao couldn't help but feel a huge pressure. The ghosts he could control now were actually not complete ghosts, but just parts of ghosts.

But the ghosts that this senior expert beside him summoned casually were clearly complete ghosts, and the strength of each ghost was not simple, which was enough to show how powerful the other party was!

As Lin Feng approached the gate of Changshou Town, a thick smoke rushed toward his face, and at the same time, a large amount of paper money was dancing in the smoke.

At the same time, various whispers rang in his ears, as if countless people were secretly watching them and discussing them. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
