Recap
At dusk, when he passed a familiar big tree again, Rong Yu finally faced the fact that Yan Zhao was a fool.
Rong Yu lay on his back: “I simply doubt that you are building a wall for yourself. Do you really not know that you have walked this road five times?”
Yan Zhao froze, not wanting to expose his crazy nature in front of his sweetheart. “I know.”
Rong Yu sneered: “You really don’t know, you have walked this road six times.”
Yan Zhao: “…”

As soon as night falls, the lonely souls in the graves will float out for air, otherwise it would be too boring to stay in the soil all day. Some of the tombs are empty, and the tomb owners have been tempted into reincarnation. The remaining ghosts are either new ghosts who have not yet passed their seventh day, or old ghosts with obsessions and resentments. There are not many, otherwise there would be no room for them at the top of the mountain.
The lonely wild ghosts cried and howled every day and night, but tonight they all calmed down and did not dare to let out a single cry.
With the ghost king, none would dare to make any noise when he came out of his tomb.
Ghosts also value strength. Yan Zhao is the most powerful ghost in these ten miles and eight villages. If he is unhappy, he can devour these little ghosts. Naturally, no ghost dares to offend him. The little ghosts are still wondering. They never knew that there were such ghosts on Yuexi Mountain before. Looking at their clothes, they don’t look like they belong to this dynasty, let alone ordinary people. At least they are nobles from thousands of years ago…
Yuexi Town was also a poor town dating back thousands of years. They don’t know when such a big man was buried.
What’s even more puzzling is that he is carrying a living person on his back.
The cold moonlight shone down, illuminating the long figure on the ground. Yan Zhao was carrying Rong Yu on his back. They were clearly two people, but there was only a shadow following behind him, which made their hair stand on end.
The little ghosts were afraid of Yan Zhao’s ghostly aura, so they hid in the tomb when they felt the aura from a distance. So much so that during their entire journey, not to mention anyone asking for directions, not even a ghost asked for directions.
Rong Yu originally thought that Yan Zhao could not be relied upon, and in the end he had to ask the ghosts in the mountains for directions, but unexpectedly, there was not even a ghost.
“Didn’t you say there are many ghosts at night?” Rong Yu lowered his head and asked, “Where are the ghosts?”
Yan Zhao also wanted to ask: “On weekdays, there are indeed many.”
He is buried here, and he is the strongest. Yuexi Mountain is also within his jurisdiction. He could sense that there were many ghosts here, but he had been too lazy to care about them in the past, and it had nothing to do with him.
Yan Zhao is the only one who is directionally challenged on his own territory. Rong Yu now felt that it was great that Yan Zhao didn’t get lost in his own tomb. It was such a big underground maze.
Rong Yu’s mind was spinning faster than his: “They are hiding because they are afraid of you.”
“Afraid of me?” Yan Zhao had doubts in his eyes. “I have nothing to be fearful about, you are not afraid of me.”
Rong Yu is not afraid of any mortal. What are those brats afraid of? They are really a bunch of cowards.
Yan Zhao knew nothing about his own power.
“Why should I be afraid of you? Of course, they are afraid that you will swallow them.” Rong Yu said, “Big fish eat small fish, big ghosts eat small ghosts. If you eat them, you will become stronger, but they will be gone.”
Rong Yu had never been afraid of Yan Zhao, or in other words, the word fear did not exist in the Big Demon King’s dictionary. He also suddenly thought of the big fish eating small fish game he had played on his mobile phone before, and realized that those little ghosts must be hiding out of fear of Yan Zhao.
Ghosts that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years are almost all evil ghosts. Most of the ordinary lonely ghosts are gone in the end. No one burns incense and worships these old ghosts, so they have to devour other ghosts to survive.
These little ghosts never imagined that Yan Zhao had not come out of the tomb for a thousand years, and that he had survived to this day only by his obsession without eating a single ghost.
That requires too much obsession.
Yan Zhao shook his head and said in disgust: “I won’t eat them.”
Not because of kindness. It’s just that the sun has an instinctive rejection of these underworld things in his bones. Like a rat in a smelly ditch, it’s hard to swallow.
I would rather be hungry than eat those gloomy foods.
Although he himself is already the one with the most negative energy…
“Don’t eat ghosts?” Rong Yu asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”
After Rong Yu said this, Yan Zhao was indeed hungry.
Ever since meeting Rong Yu yesterday, he has felt hungry. He originally thought that Rong Yu would burn some joss sticks for him today, but unexpectedly, he was stuck on the mountain all day, hungry for another day, and teleporting with Rong Yu on his back, which consumed a lot of manas.
Now he felt extremely empty in his stomach and wanted to eat three sticks of incense in one breath.
“I’m hungry.” Yan Zhao said truthfully, “When we get down from the mountain, you can burn incense sticks for me. I will only eat your incense and not other smelly things.”
Rong Yu said lazily, “I’ve passed this place seven times. I think we’ll live in the mountains for the rest of our lives.”
“…” As he spoke, he circled back to the original place.
Yan Zhao blushed. “Why didn’t you remind me?”
“How should I remind you? I don’t know the road either. I just know this tree.” Rong Yu said confidently.
Yan Zhao had nothing to say, so he resigned himself to changing directions and continued searching.
“Wait a minute, there’s someone in front of you.” Rong Yu narrowed his eyes. “No, there’s a ghost.”
They saw a ghost floating around in front of them in a daze.
Rong Yu gave instructions: “Let’s go find him and ask for directions.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao teleported to the ghost with Rong Yu on his back.
The ghost’s eyes were blank, and when he turned around, he saw a gloomy and handsome ghost in red standing in front of him. His face was white and transparent, and his eyes were frighteningly heavy. There was another person lying on his back, his face could not be seen, only his long black hair hanging behind him, he was also dressed in red. It was very weird in the night.
The ghost was so frightened that he shouted: “There is a ghost!!!”
Rong Yu raised his face speechlessly: “You are a ghost yourself.”
The ghost was even more frightened when he saw Rong Yu’s face: “You, why is it you? You’re not——”
Before he finished speaking, the entire ghost suddenly turned into a burst of smoke and was sucked into Yan Zhao’s mouth.
Before he even had time to scream, he completely disappeared from the world.
Yan Zhao frowned. Inhaling a ghost made him feel a little full, but the taste of such a dirty soul was unbearable: “It tastes bad.”
Rong Yu was startled and slapped his back hard. “Why did you eat him? Didn’t you say you don’t eat ghosts? Didn’t you find it smelly?”
Yan Zhao lowered his eyes, his eyes dark and heavy. “Do you care about him?”
He actually beat him up because of a wild male ghost.
There was a hint of grievance in the cold eyes of Lord Ghost King.
“Of course I care!” Rong Yu was so angry that he went crazy, “You can eat if you want. Can you finish asking before you eat? We finally met a ghost. If you don’t ask about the way down the mountain, do you plan to wait until dawn? ?!”
Yan Zhao’s eyes suddenly lit up. “What you care about is asking for directions, not him?”
“Who is he? Why do I care about him?” Rong Yu was simply confused. “Do I know him?”
Yan Zhao reminded: “He is Hu Wei.”
He remembered this man. He plotted against Rong Rong while he was still alive. Rong Rong was killed by those mortals just to be buried with him. What is written on the tombstone is Hu Wei’s name.
It is said that he snatched the bride from Hu Wei’s coffin.
Thinking that the young man’s fingers were dripping with blood when he first saw him, Yan Zhao must have been struggling in the coffin, and Yan Zhao became even more gloomy.
Regarding this so-called ex-husband, Yan Zhao naturally wanted to eat his flesh and blood. No matter how unpalatable he was, he would eat him alive.
Rong Yu’s first reaction: “Who is Hu Wei?”
Blood Jade Bracelet: …the cannon fodder who tried to force the original owner to die but ended up marrying the original owner in secret.
Little Bracelet summed it up brilliantly. Hu Wei has now been wiped out. He was killed by the tiger’s mouth during his life, and died by the ghost’s mouth after his death. He appeared as a box lunch, with one and a half lines, a proper cannon fodder for life.
Rong Yu remembered: “I’m sorry, I don’t remember the unimportant people very well.”
He didn’t bother to remember.
Yan Zhao said distressedly: “It’s okay. If you don’t remember, just forget it.”
How could he not remember that Rong Rong was stalked by this man for a long time and tortured to death by that family? If he hadn’t rescued the person from the coffin, the young man would have died of hatred right now.
It must be that the memory of being locked in a coffin and struggling was too scary and painful, and caused great trauma, so he was forced to forget it. Yan Zhao regretted it endlessly. He was still a step too late and failed to rescue Rong Rong early, which made him feel distressed.
——But if he had been a step ahead, Wen Yichu would not have encountered a life-and-death crisis, and Rong Yu would not have come.
Yan Zhao comforted Rong Yu: “From now on, I will protect you and no one can bully you anymore.”
Rong Yu didn’t appreciate it: “Forget it. No one can bully me except you.”
Hu Wei was the person who indirectly caused Wen Yichu’s death. If he hadn’t wanted to force Wen Yichu, Wen Yichu wouldn’t have hid in the mountains. If he hadn’t chased him in, he wouldn’t have been bitten to death by a tiger. If he hadn’t been bitten to death by a tiger, there wouldn’t have been any angry Hu family members who forced Wen Yichu into a secret marriage. This happens.
But Hu Wei was now in a state of despair, and Wen Yichu’s soul lamp did not light up at all.
Hu Wei was not only ignored, but also ignored by Wen Yichu.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Liulang, Liulang!”
After walking a few more steps, they heard the faint sound of a woman crying again.
Rong Yu whispered: “You are not allowed to eat this time. Go and ask for directions. Control your ghost energy and don’t scare people back into the tomb.”
Yan Zhao nodded cautiously and followed the sound, only to see a female ghost in red being held by two male ghosts, each holding an arm, both trying to pull her in his direction.
The male ghost on the left is white and thin, dressed like a scholar, and looks frail. But the person on the right was used to doing crop work, and he was very strong, and he almost dragged the female ghost away.
The female ghost looked back at the scholar ghost and cried: “Liu Lang! Let me go, I won’t follow you. I am Liu Lang’s person in life, and Liu Lang’s ghost in death!”
The farmer scolded: “Bitch, you have been promised to me by your parents, and I am your official! Where did that little pretty boy come from? You dare to rob me!”
The scholar ghost is not very strong, but he is not willing to be outdone: “I and Wan Niang have been in love before I was alive. If it weren’t for my weak body, I would have come to propose marriage to her and marry her. Bro, why did you come to break us up?”
“Is it still reasonable for you to marry each other privately without a matchmaker? You died before you came to propose marriage. I gave the money to her parents and officially arranged the marriage! She should be mine!”
There was a tug-of-war between the two sides, and the noise was so loud that the female ghost was crying and wailing.
“Please stop and have a rest. I’ll ask for directions.” Rong Yu got off Yan Zhao’s back and stepped forward.
But the people over there were so noisy that they forgot about themselves and completely ignored this mortal who appeared out of nowhere.
Rong Yu didn’t look back: “Yan Zhao, help me to control the situation.”
All the ghost energy that had been restrained in Yan Zhao was released.
The three ghosts over there suddenly fell silent. They were shocked to realize that they were surrounded by a terrifying cold air. They turned around tremblingly and saw Rong Yu and Yan Zhao standing under the tree.
It’s over, it’s over.
What a powerful ghost.
The three ghosts are probably not going to die together here today.
They were so frightened by the powerful ghost energy that they couldn’t even move their legs to escape.
The farmer ghost trembled with his legs and immediately knelt down: “Sir, please spare my life, I want to eat them. These pretty boys and girls have delicate skin and delicious flesh. I am a rough man, with rough skin and thick flesh, which is not delicious…”
The scholar ghost also knelt down and stood in front of the female ghost: “Sir, you want to eat me, not Wan Niang! My soul is bookish, and the rouge and gouache I gave her is poisonous, so you can’t eat her!”
Yan Zhao said expressionlessly: “I won’t eat you.”
The taste of ghosts was not good, and just one Hu Wei made him want to vomit.
He just wanted to ask how to go down the mountain.
Before the words could be spoken, the female ghost in the middle suddenly knelt down, squeezed out from between the two male ghosts, and kowtowed with tears: “Thank you, sir, please uphold justice for the Nu family and Liu Lang!”
Yan Zhao: “…?”
Yan Zhao slowly typed a question mark.
