Black Mountain Old Ghost

Chapter 582 Meritorious Minister

"This immortal… isn't anything good…"

Seeing that the news from Erguotou was so shocking, Hu Ma almost forgot about being treated like an idiot.

His mind couldn't help but flash back to what he had seen in the Village of the Childless, and he also thought of the aloof, indescribably strange Meng family ancestor, and even the Guan Prefecture City God that he had smashed with his mace.

These things were all very strange, and seemed to be related to the legendary "immortals," so how could he not worry?

But strange thoughts also arose. Since he had taken the office of Subduing Evil with Golden Mace, he had gained a deep understanding of the Subduing Evil Bureau. The Subduing Evil Bureau seemed to restrain the Meng family in every way, but the Meng family was the closest to "immortals"...

Why would the Hu family have something similar to the Meng family?

Most importantly, he had never heard of this thing, and there was no record of it in the Subduing Evil Bureau.

Thinking anxiously, and connecting it with Erguotou's words, he vaguely understood that perhaps this thing really belonged to the walking ghost lineage, but had nothing to do with the Subduing Evil Bureau.

This belonged to the old walking ghost lineage, and the Subduing Evil Bureau, to some extent, was not synonymous with the walking ghost main family. Although he had inherited the Subduing Evil Bureau now, the title of walking ghost main family was all that remained.

Thinking anxiously, he wanted to quickly remind Erguotou, but he didn't expect Miss White Wine to be ahead of him, anxiously asking, "Then what? If you really found the legendary Purple Tai Sui in the Yin realm, then you…"

"…After eating it, what changes did you experience?"

"…"

"The benefits are hard to describe…"

Erguotou pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his words, and then whispered, "But it wasn't exactly 'eating.' You also understand that the dead in the mortal world can only enjoy sacrifices, and cannot truly eat anything…"

"Except for Tai Sui…"

"And we living people can't eat anything in the Yin realm either, so I should have just touched the Purple Tai Sui…"

"As for changes, magic power, Dao cultivation, and my own body haven't changed much, but…"

He took a deep breath and said, "My natal spirit shrine has developed some wonderful properties."

"But I can't describe exactly what those wonderful properties are. It's as if it's brighter. Remember when we teamed up with Lao Baigan and the others to kill the Meng family's second young master near Stone Horse Town, and even faced the Meng family's ancestor?"

"At that time, I had a feeling that my natal spirit shrine was becoming fragile. Under his gaze, once he really saw it, we could be destroyed at any time."

"But now, I feel that I should be a little stronger than before. Before, I couldn't stand him looking at me."

"Now, I can hold out for at least two glances!"

"…"

"Ah? You guys killed the Meng family's second young master?"

Miss Red Wine couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, but no one paid attention to her at the moment.

"The natal spirit shrine has become stronger?"

Miss White Wine was pondering the meaning of these words, while Erguotou seemed a little troubled, "Yes, it's that kind of inexplicable feeling."

"Because there aren't many things that can threaten our natal spirit shrines, and even fewer that can be discovered, so I can't find anything to try… Perhaps this is also what makes us different from ordinary people, regarding the effect of this thing…"

"…I'm planning to feed a little to Little Red Lantern to see what benefits she can get!"

"…"

"Feed…"

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly said, "Don't feed it randomly…"

While quickly trying to speak in a way that was consistent with his identity as a walking ghost chief exorcist, he whispered, "I don't understand what you're saying about Purple Tai Sui, but I've had a lot of contact with the walking ghost main family, and I've occasionally heard him mention something about 'immortals.'"

"As far as I know, that's not a good thing. It even poisoned an entire village. Even death wasn't the end, and their souls couldn't escape. They were entangled by this thing for a full ten years without being freed…"

"And also…"

Fearing that Erguotou would be reckless, he paused and said seriously, "Moreover, I've also heard a key piece of information, that some strange things were born from things related to this 'immortal,' and they seem to be related to us reincarnators."

Now he remembered the white thing he saw in the Village of the Childless, and the strange things it said.

In fact, he didn't quite understand what those words meant, but this information was too important, and he had to say it no matter what.

"Purple Tai Sui grows in the Yin realm. Aren't reincarnators also said to have crawled out of hell?"

At this time, Miss White Wine slowly said, "If there is any relationship between the two, it's not surprising. It's just a pity that we were too timid before."

"Because we were timid, we hid from the Ten Surnames. Because we were timid, we didn't dare to cross the bridge and couldn't see the real scenery, let alone these key things that even the Ten Surnames are strictly guarding and not letting outsiders know…"

"…"

Miss Red Wine seemed to want to say something but stopped, and finally sighed and whispered, "I crossed the bridge…"

Miss White Wine sneered, "You crossed the bridge because the people of the Acrobatic Arts Sect are best at hiding, and can cross the bridge without being seen."

After saying that, she ignored her and said to Erguotou, "How much of this stuff did you bring out? Give me a copy? Don't worry, I'm not greedy. I just want to understand this thing."

"…If you don't want to, you can consider it a favor. I owe you a big one."

"…"

"No need, no need…"

Hearing her say this, Erguotou was embarrassed and said, "It's not like before. Everyone has the same problems and the same goals. We won't settle accounts so clearly, otherwise we would all owe Lao Baigan, wouldn't we? He did something real!"

"But mainly, the Purple Tai Sui that I begged for are all in my natal spirit shrine, and I can't bring them to the human world…"

"I can let Little Red Lantern try it because she's the one I raised. We have a contract, but we can't transfer this thing between us…"

"…"

He tried to explain in detail, seemingly worried that Miss White Wine would misunderstand.

Miss White Wine directly said, "How did you obtain it? Can you take me there too?"

Hu Ma was stunned by this. Miss White Wine seemed to be very interested in this thing?

Erguotou's bitter laughter rang out again, "There's no way. I picked a yin month and yin hour, and also caught a good time. Even then, I only entered the Yin realm by taking the opportunity to cross the bridge, and found this thing by using the compass to guide me."

"You're not a walking ghost, and the time isn't good now. I can't take you…"

"…If you really want to go, you have to wait at least another year. Next year, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when the Gate of Ghosts opens, is the best time. You have to wait until then at the earliest."

"…"

He was very frank, but suddenly became a little worried, "Of course, this is on the premise that the silly young master hasn't discovered that his family's property is being stolen. If he locks it up during this time, it'll be in vain…"

Miss White Wine said, "He won't."

Then, she suddenly said to Hu Ma, "Brother Lao Baigan, you wouldn't… tell him about this, would you?"

Hu Ma was immediately embarrassed and said, "I'm a mole next to him, not a mole next to you, so of course I won't tell him."

But he thought to himself: Although you can't be too stingy with fellow villagers, this lock…

"This matter is of great importance. Although it is an eventful time, I think this news should not be spread for the time being."

Miss White Wine slowly opened her mouth, "Mr. Erguotou, if you have any questions, you can look for me. Cao Xin Hall still has some records of the Purple Tai Sui formula."

"And I hope you can tell me about the changes after you touched this thing one by one. I also need to understand it. As for other things, I think we have said enough today, so we can only gather in Guazhou!"

"By the way, I advise you to dispel the idea of feeding this thing to your Red Lantern Lady. I agree with Brother Lao Baigan's opinion. Those ghosts and evil spirits will go crazy when they see blood, let alone such a high-grade Tai Sui?"

"…"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Erguotou also sighed for a long time and said, "To be honest, the reason why I wanted to tell you is because this matter is too bizarre. If I don't say it, it's as if such a bizarre thing isn't real…"

"I feel much better now."

"…"

"Wait…"

Just as everyone finished speaking and was about to disperse, Miss Red Wine, who had been holding back for most of the night, finally couldn't help it and said:

"Listening to you, you sneaked into the silly young master's side of the walking ghost main family, snatched the positions of two high-ranking officials, and even used his name to choose an emperor's seed, and now you've discovered the silver under his bed, and are preparing to grab a handful…"

"Don't you think you're going a little too crazy?"

"How could there be idiots among the Ten Surnames? Don't think that you're taking advantage and getting yourself involved…"

"…"

"This tone is familiar."

Miss White Wine actually smiled for the first time, "Like the words I used to advise you?"

Miss Red Wine choked immediately, unable to say anything.

Miss White Wine sighed for a long time and said, "In short, Brother Lao Baigan has won us a lot of advantages and made us less passive. Plus, he's the boldest and has mixed in with that silly…"

"Next to that young master of the Ten Surnames, then we'll listen to him more. Maybe in the future, not to mention getting some benefits from this young master, maybe we can even seize his identity as a young master of the Ten Surnames…"

"You're right, aren't you? Brother Lao Baigan?"
