Chapter 160
Chapter 160
Yang Jian will face the Red and White Devils and has no way out for the time being.
At this time, we can only look at Zhang Xianguang's method. However, even with the cooperation of human skin paper, the final result is not good.
"A special wedding, the red and white evil spirits are about to turn into ghosts and gods!"
Looking at the contents on the human skin paper, Zhang Xianguang and Yang Jian fell into deep thought.
"What exactly is the wedding that the Red and White Devils are going to hold?"
"Also, when will the Red and White Devils hold their wedding, and where will it be held?"
Yang Jian picked up the human skin paper and asked in a low voice.
"My name is Yang Jian. When you see this sentence, I..." The human skin paper was held by Yang Jian, and the content on it changed.
"Don't try to play that game. If the Red and White Devils really complete their so-called wedding, you will probably be eaten by them, right?"
Yang Jian's tone was cold and there was a threat in his words.
Perhaps the human skin paper was also afraid of the existence of the Red and White Devils. After Yang Jian threatened them, the content on it began to change.
"I learned from the human skin paper that the Red and White Devils are preparing for a wedding, but the wedding will begin soon."
"After much inquiry, I finally felt that this wedding might be related to a supernatural object in my hand, which is a red cabinet."
"Two days at most. Once it takes more than two days, the Red and White Devils will complete the wedding preparations and start the wedding."
"So I have to successfully find the location of the wedding venue within these two days."
The human skin paper's prediction seemed to have encountered some kind of obstacle, and the information it could finally provide was greatly limited. It only told Yang Jian that it was related to the ghost cabinet.
"Red cabinet? What do you think?" Zhang Xianguang looked at Yang Jian with questioning eyes.
"The red cabinet is a special supernatural item and it should be related to the ghost bride." Yang Jian explained.
"This thing was taken away by the Red and White Devils when I was delivering a letter to an old house at the Ghost Post Office and was helping with the funeral of an old man inside."
"The human skin paper's spirit seems to be blocked by some spirit, but fortunately it also managed to give me some clues."
"According to the human skin paper, the wedding is related to the ghost cabinet, so the wedding is likely to be held in that ancient house."
"Ancient house?" Zhang Xianguang looked thoughtful.
Many ghost handlers during the Republic of China period were nostalgic, so they built many ancient houses to imprison evil spirits.
Just by hearing the name of the ancient house, Zhang Xianguang could not guess any useful information.
"Yes, it's an old house in an old forest. I went there by bus."
Yang Jian recalled his experience with a hint of fear in his eyes.
That old man is really scary.
"Speaking of the old house, I also remembered that the Red and White Devils appeared in that house before the old man passed away."
"At that time, for some reason, I opened a room in the house, and the Red and White Devils stayed in that room for a long time."
Zhang Xianguang listened to Yang Jian's words and nodded.
It is related to the ghost cabinet, and the Red and White Devils once haunted that place. If this is true, the wedding of the Red and White Devils may indeed be held there.
"If that's the case, where is the ancient house? Can you still find it?" Zhang Xianguang asked.
"In Dazhou City." Yang Jian said. "We escaped from Dazhou City with the help of a magical item given by the Ghost Post Office."
"Dazhou City?" Zhang Xianguang raised his head suddenly when he heard it, as if he had thought of something.
"Is the old man in the old house you mentioned called Zhang Dong?"
Yang Jian nodded: "Yes, his name is Zhang Dong, and he seems to be a very powerful figure during the Republic of China."
"At that time, the old man just waved his hand, and even the road leading to the ghost post office was wiped out by him."
"If that's the case, then the location of the wedding will undoubtedly be that place."
Zhang Xianguang may have thought of something, and he said in a deep voice, confirming the location of the wedding.
"There is a red room there, which looks like a wedding room."
"Although the wedding room looks like a room, it is actually a terrifying ghost. Even those old antiques from the Republic of China era are afraid of that room."
"So, our next goal is to go to the haunted house in Dazhou City?" Yang Jian said.
"Since you know something about that ancient house, you should be able to find a way to get in, right?"
"I do have a way, but unfortunately, I can't leave the Ghost Post Office now." Zhang Xianguang showed a little helplessness on his face.
"How about this, you go to Zhongzhou City, find a special Chinese medicine shop there, and invite the old man who sells Chinese medicine there to come to the Ghost Post Office."
"Is there anything special about that old man?" Yang Jian asked.
"That old man is a teammate of the old man in the old house. He can help you."
"But it's probably difficult to get him to do something for you on your own. The old man is too stubborn, so you should bring him to the Ghost Post Office."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go to Zhongzhou City."
Yang Jian didn't ask too many questions and left the Ghost Post Office immediately.
Although Zhang Xianguang had made many arrangements before, they were never implemented.
And even if it was Zhang Xianguang’s plan, it was essentially just to find a safe environment.
In this situation, there is no time for procrastination.
Watching Yang Jian leave, Zhang Xianguang sighed, then took the human skin paper and began to look at it.
"My name is Zhang Xianguang. When you see this sentence, I will be dead."
"Our plan has failed once again. Even if we go to the ancient house, we will not be able to deal with the Red and White Devils."
"The horror of that ghost has surpassed our imagination. Perhaps he is the only one who can pose a threat to the Red and White Devils."
"But unfortunately, he is already dead, and our plan was ultimately forced to fail."
After reading these words, Zhang Xianguang couldn't help but squeeze the human skin paper in his hand.
Zhongzhou.
On an old street that may be abandoned at any time, a Chinese medicine shop stands in the middle of the street.
Few people patronize this Chinese medicine shop, and they only take a look when they pass by occasionally.
However, today a Chinese medicine shop here welcomed a special guest.
At this time, the Chinese medicine shop was cold and dim, with no lights, and only daylight shining in.
Especially now that it is afternoon and there is not enough sunlight, the Chinese medicine shop feels particularly gloomy.
Even children playing nearby would subconsciously avoid this place and be unwilling to step in.
Yang Jian, who has been dealing with the supernatural for many years, can tell at a glance that this Chinese medicine shop has a supernatural atmosphere.
Yang Jian stood at the door of the Chinese medicine shop and looked inside. An invisible force blocked him, making it impossible for him to see everything inside clearly. He could only see some outlines.
"Don't you want to be investigated? But I won't spoil this place."
Yang Jian's eyes turned cold and his ghost eyes opened without hesitation.
moment.
The dim Chinese medicine shop was immediately illuminated by a beam of light, and all the darkness was swept away.
At the same time, several oil lamps and candles in the pharmacy were lit at the same time, but what was flickering on them were not ordinary flames, but light green ghost fires.
"Young man, take it easy and don't burn down my medicine shop."
At this time, a voice was heard, and from the back of the pharmacy, an old man who looked like an old Chinese doctor walked out slowly with a cane.
The old man was accompanied by a woman in her thirties, a plump and graceful beauty, but because she had not seen the sun for many years, her skin was too white and her temperament was a little cold.
Yang Jian stared at the old man, only to find that he was wearing sunglasses and was blind.
There were age spots on his face and his body was extremely thin. He gave off a dead aura and one could even faintly smell the stench of a rotting corpse.
However, this corpse odor was masked by a stronger smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and it was impossible to distinguish it unless you were careful.
"It's incredible that you're still alive in this state. You should have been buried long ago."
"I can't see any light in my eyes. I won't be at peace even if I die. I can only hold on." The old man said slowly.
"My name is Yang Jian, the law enforcement captain of the headquarters and the person in charge of Dachang City. I came to this place after being introduced by a friend."
Yang Jian looked at the old man and spoke, stating his identity and purpose, while judging the other party's situation in his heart. Apart from those dead souls, this should be the first time he has encountered a ghost rider of the Seven Elders level in the true sense.
"Captain of law enforcement? What a big title! Is he here to show off or to call for justice?"
Next to her, the mature woman in her thirties smiled softly, with a hint of mockery.
"I'm not looking for you, and I don't have the guts to charge an old man who has lived from the Republic of China to the present day."
Yang Jian glanced coldly at the woman in front of him.
This woman is just an ordinary person, but she is surprisingly confident.
I don't know whether to say that ignorance is bliss, or that the old man in front of her gave her enough sense of security to be unbridled?
"You should be thankful that I came here for a serious matter, otherwise you would have been stepped on by me."
"Everyone who came here to ask for medicine before was respectful and humble. You are the most arrogant one I have ever seen. You are really disgusting." The woman frowned.
Yang Jian didn't speak to her, but just looked at the old man: "If you die, she won't live long either. No wonder you are holding on. Someone like this who has no foresight will be killed soon."
The corners of the old man's mouth moved slightly, and he actually laughed, but his laughter did not come out. The wrinkled skin on his old face was pulled, making him look particularly eerie and weird.
"You have a bad temper, but you are also quite capable. You are very good." After laughing silently for a while, he gave this evaluation of Yang Jian.
The mature woman next to him suddenly changed her expression and looked at Yang Jian with some surprise and doubt.
"He's right, Xiaoru, don't look at his young age, he is the most powerful person who has walked into this pharmacy in all these years." The old man spoke slowly.
"The title of law enforcement captain is well-deserved. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the one in charge of this era. You have to be polite and go get me a cup of hot tea."
The old man waved his hand and signaled to the woman.
The woman named Xiaoru's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Yang Jian deeply, then responded and turned to leave.
"Please sit down." The old man then sat on the chair and gestured to Yang Jian.
The armrests of the black armchair are smooth and shiny as if they were covered with patina.
Yang Jian stared at the armchair.
"I have seen a chair like this before. It was in an old house, in the same position. However, the person sitting on it was not a person, but an old corpse. I later helped to bury the corpse."
"Really? Then I have to thank you for burying him." The old man said with emotion.
"You really know that old corpse." Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly.
"I used to be friends with that man." The blind old man with a cane did not hide anything, but spoke slowly.
"Zhang Xianguang said that you and them are teammates. It seems that he didn't lie to me. That's why I came here. It was Zhang Xianguang who asked me to find you and invite you to go to the Ghost Post Office."
"Zhang Xianguang? Do you mean Xiao Zhang? What an old name." Hearing Zhang Xianguang's name, the old man showed a look of nostalgia on his face.
After the old man sighed, he looked up at Yang Jian and asked in a deep voice.
"It seems that you are not here to ask for medicine, but to have questions. Fortunately, you came at the right time. If you were later, you would probably only see my coffin."
"Has anything big happened outside recently?" The old man sat up and asked about Yang Jian's purpose.
"Some troublesome things did happen. Even with all the people in my headquarters working together, we were unable to successfully resolve them." Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
"Because of this supernatural incident, even the spiritual summoners in Taiping Ancient Town have lost their effectiveness."
"Many traces of the existence of the elderly during the Republic of China period have been erased by that ghost. From now on, the soul-calling incense will no longer be able to call back the souls of these dead people."
Hearing this, the old man paused.
“Yeah, I knew it.”
"Now, except for me, no one can remember the names of those old friends."
"I think I know why Xiao Zhang asked you to come to me."
"Is the supernatural event you are talking about the red and white evil spirits?" the old man asked.
"Have you heard about that supernatural incident?" Yang Jian's face showed surprise.
"I've heard a little bit about it. Sister Hong came to see me, and later I heard a little bit about it from some people who came to ask for medicine."
"What a pity! If I had taken action in time, this ghost would not have grown."
There was a hint of emotion in the old man's tone. Sister Hong had come to see him before.
But the old man at that time did not take the ghost seriously, which led to the situation getting completely out of control.
"I'll pack up and go to the Ghost Post Office later." The old man was very decisive. He stood up as soon as he made up his mind.
"With Xiao Zhang's pride, he actually asked me to help. I guess the situation has reached a point of no return."
"Does Zhang Xianguang know you?" Hearing the old man calling Zhang Xianguang "Xiao Zhang" several times, Yang Jian showed some doubt in his eyes.
"Yes, I know him. I held him in my arms when he was a child." The old man nodded.
"You should have met his father. You even helped Xiao Zhang's father collect his body."
Hearing this, Yang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly.
Zhang Xianguang is actually Zhang Dong’s son?
There was surprise in Yang Jian's eyes; he really hadn't expected this.
"You have great potential, but it's a pity that your foundation is so poor."
The old man looked at Yang Jian. Although he was going to Dahan City, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked at Yang Jian.
"The shadow under your feet lacks a body. If you give him a body, your strength should be even stronger."
"You have very good eyes, but unfortunately, your own abilities limit you and you cannot fully utilize them."
"There is a corpse in the Caesar Hotel in ZS City. If you can control it, your strength should be able to transform."
"But once you control that corpse, I'm afraid it won't be long before you'll be resurrected as a ghost."
"Senior, is there any way to help me control that corpse?" Yang Jian asked quickly.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" The old man asked calmly. He didn't ask whether he could help Yang Jian control it, but just asked back.
“If I am not strong enough and face the Red and White Devils, not only me, but perhaps the whole world will lose all hope.” Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
"Instead of continuing to live in disgrace, it is better to forcibly control the evil spirit. Even if the evil spirit is revived, it is not a bad thing as long as this supernatural incident can be resolved."
Hearing Yang Jian's words, the old man showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Just remember what you said. I'm going to the Ghost Post Office first."
"Next, if you need to do anything else, do it quickly, and then come to the Ghost Post Office to find me."
"I'm too old. According to what you said, I may not be able to deal with that ghost alone now."
"If you are willing to risk your life, I can still do something to help you grow, based on my years of living."
"However, in the future, you will completely lose the potential to continue to grow, and you may even lose your lives here."
"Even so, you don't regret it?" the old man asked before leaving.
Yang Jian listened to the old man's words and wanted to answer, but was interrupted by the old man.
"You don't have to answer right away. You're not here just to see me, are you?"
"When you enter the ghost post office, just tell me your answer."
"But you have to think it through quickly."
"After all, judging from the current situation, we don't have much time to think slowly."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded.
After the old man left, Yang Jian chose another direction to leave.
"The headquarters was attacked, but fortunately the captains were still able to communicate with each other via walkie-talkie."
Yang Jian’s second target was He Yiner.
Although He Yiner lost most of her fighting power when facing the Red and White Devils, she still retained some mediums from the elders of the Republic of China because of Sister Hong.
In this situation, the more fighting power one has, the more confidence one has.
As long as He Yin'er, the necromancer, performs well, she can become the temporary Seven Elder-level fighter for several people.
In addition, other captains also need to be contacted one by one.
With the help of this old man, the strength of these captains may be able to be further improved.
It is expected to be finished soon, so the updates will be slower these days, maybe one picture a day, at least the author will be able to do it this month.
