"Distinguished nephew Xian?" Li Jieshi called out to me carefully, waking me from my trance.
"Let's get going, the sky is getting dark, I have a junior sister, I will notify her to come along, it will increase our chances." I said to Li Jieshi.
"Oh? Junior sister? I haven't heard Xinyu mention it." Li Jieshi was taken aback.
"Don't worry, you'll meet her soon." I smiled.
"Well, let's listen to Xianxian's nephew." Li Jieshi was somewhat unhappy, and unconsciously wiped away sweat from his forehead.
I gestured to Li Jieshi to walk outside while I followed her and called for Si Yan on the phone.
In just a few words, I made everything clear.
Si Yan indicated that she would wait for me in front of Shatai's home, and this matter needed to be taken seriously and there should be no mistakes.
When we left Li's home, I still didn't see Li Yin's figure.
Chang Xin had evil intentions towards her, so she was bound to and would not want to go to that village.
There was a car outside the door, and the driver was a young Li family member.
Li Jieshi got in the co-pilot seat, while I sat in the backseat.
The sun was setting, the sky on the horizon painted in a sheet of crimson, with the fiery clouds permeating the sky.
Actually, the previous time Li Jieshi looked at me, there were some strange details in his eyes.
After Chang Xin arrived, his enthusiasm was directed towards her, and before that, he had a bit of a romantic streak.
After I mentioned Si Yan, he seemed to return to normal.
About half an hour later, we arrived at that street where Shatai's house was, and picked up Si Yan.
There was already someone waiting at the door, who greeted me when he saw me.
Si Yan wore an expression as cold as a mountain, not even acknowledging the other person.
After seeing me, the glacial expression on her face slightly dispersed, and she called out, "Brother."
Li Jieshi glanced at Si Yan, showing a slight alertness and not daring to look any longer. He just greeted her briefly.
Si Yan showed little reaction, merely nodding slightly in response and then sitting quietly without moving.
When we arrived at that village, the night had already fallen.
The thorny bushes and branches of the trees at the village entrance had all been cleared, creating a path.
There were several wheel tracks on the ground, not only had the coffin party arrived, but they were also arriving in a fierce manner!
I gestured to Li Jieshi to park the car by the side of the road, and we could walk in as a group of three people, avoiding attracting too much attention.
Li Jieshi nodded, conversed briefly with the driver, and the car was then parked at the village entrance.
After the three of us stepped out, Old Gong appeared silently on my shoulder, winking and leaping onto Si Yan's shoulder.
"Ice Mountain Little Lady, one day without seeing you feels like three autumns. Hahaha."
Si Yan slightly frowned but did not say much.
It was obvious that Old Gong had thicker skin than city walls, and she was used to it to some extent.
"Q...Q Mr. Wu?" Li Jieshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shouted.
"Ah? The father of Xiao Yu's wife, huh? Jealous, huh? The cheap son-in-law didn't stay, we'll have to disable him when we come to visit. Are you sorry for that?"
Old Gong never cares about the size of the problem when speaking.
Li Jieshi's face was full of bitterness, and his smile was unbearably bitter.
Then, Old Gong harrumphed again, indicating that he didn't like being called Mr. Wu. The name on his hat was one he disliked. Now, they should call him Old Gong, as he was as divine as the Xuan Chi Jin Xiang, and had changed his name.
Li Jieshi was taken aback and only managed to call out, "Old Gong."
Old Gong no longer teased Li Jieshi. He showed a slight alertness and tightened his face skin.
Not long after, we arrived at the place where we first met Chang Xin.
At that time, Li Yucun's fox-like beard was still fighting Chang Xin!
However, on the ground outside the small house at this moment, there were many broken snakes and two corpses lying down. It was evident that a fierce battle had taken place!
"No one inside," Old Gong sniffed and muttered.
"Grandfather, wait for me," Old Gong left Si Yan's shoulder and bounced to the ground, where the two corpses were. He casually crawled into one of the corpses.
The next second, he stood up from the corpse.
Rushing back to my side, the man's head was surprisingly a bit like Old Gong's.
Originally, when a ghost takes over a person, their appearance changes. Taking over a corpse is even more extreme.
Old Gong had become increasingly skilled, changing the dead body in more ways.
"Compass," Old Gong reached out to ask for it.
I just took out the compass I had earlier in front of TianShi Dao Guan, which I had obtained from Jian Chin's collection.
At that time, he had also taken over a corpse and used the compass, after which he abandoned the body, and I had put the compass away.
After handing the compass to Old Gong, his hand kept rotting away, but his eyes were rolling around, staring at the center of the compass.
Soon, Old Gong turned and walked in another direction.
I, Si Yan, and Li Jieshi quickly followed.
As we continue walking towards the rear of this village, it seems like we'll be there in no time.
Looking ahead, there were three mountains in parallel, with slight interruptions in between, lying across the rear of the village!
"Sigh..." Old Gong drew a sharp breath.
"What's wrong?" I immediately asked.
Instead, he pointed to the night sky and said: "Look."
The three of us raised our heads nearly simultaneously, and in the pitch-black night sky, the moonlight poured down...
Yes, it was like a thick layer of moonlight, shining into the middle mountain...
"Especially when the essence of heaven and earth, as well as that of the moon and sun, nourish the treasures of heaven and earth. It's usually only moonlight that yields them, without any sunlight. Then what comes out is either a corpse ghost or a ghost object. See those few cars?"
"Something's going to happen..."
Only after Old Gong pointed forward did I see that there were indeed three cars parked under the mountain in the middle.
The cars were turned off, and there was no one.
However, there were things moving on the cars' bodies... like snakes!
Old Gong was extremely cautious, walking ahead of us.
With things having come to this point, we could only follow him.
Only after we reached the cars did we see that there were snakes crawling all over them, constantly hissing at us.
Old Gong did not respond, continuing to walk up the mountain.
The farther we went, the more cautious and careful Old Gong became. When we reached a certain position, he no longer followed the mountain path but turned into the adjacent forest.
We walked for about half an hour.
The forest trees were densely packed.
This place should be downwind; you can smell a lot of strange smells here.
There's also a faint smell of blood...
Old Gong carefully crawled down, indicating that we should all lie flat.
Once we were all lying down, looking ahead, we could see an open area.
The dull sound is the sound of people fighting!
Yes, I recognized one of them as Luo Kuang.
There were a few others I didn't recognize.
Many people were lying on the ground in a heap.
Among them was Chang Xin!
However, Chang Xin was lying on a tombstone.
The tombstone was originally at the grave marker's position, but now it's empty, with a large hole in the ground.
There was an old man crawling on the ground like a snake, covered with many snake skins resembling dots. The slender pink snake bodies kept wriggling through the cracks in the skins, or formed hooks to grab at nearby people!
That's the old man, fighting with others!
Is the action of the coffin party too fast?
Not only are they fast, but this old immortal is too terrifying...
Old Gong keeps making "sha" sounds, showing how scared he is!
"It's going to be bad... even the coffin party will be destroyed, and we can't handle this old immortal... we need to get away." His voice was very small, but he was particularly alarmed and wanted to retreat.
