Chapter 688: Mountain Ghost Whisper
Black tiles and yellow walls, pearls inlaid on the roof, dark clouds and heavy rain, and murderous intent lurking.

"Interesting, what truth do you want to tell?"

Zou Sijiu looked at Zhai Chong and asked with a chuckle.

"Without the secret cooperation between me and 'Mountain Ghost' Yin Wen, you wouldn't have been able to seize the initiative in building dreams so easily and build this place into a world without sequence but only martial arts. This maximized your advantage."

"I have 20% of Huangliang's authority in my hands. If we really fight, you may not be my opponent."

Hearing Zou Sijiu's rebuttal, Zhai Chong didn't care and continued calmly: "You also said that it might not be the case. The six dream master rules may not necessarily lose to your 20% authority."

"I also have four Dream Master rules. So at most we are even, and no one is taking advantage of anyone else."

Zou Sijiu's mercenary look made Zhai Chong's face darken.

"If we were determined to continue fighting you, then during this period of dream time, none of your people would have survived, including the group of Ming ghosts you brought in."

"It doesn't necessarily mean that you showed mercy if they didn't die. Could it be that you just wanted to but didn't have the strength? Besides, the two people you killed were just worthless ghosts."

As he spoke, Shen Li had already stepped out of the palace eaves, walked into the heavy rain, and headed straight towards the group of ruffians huddled in the corner of the square.

Zhao Yin, who was mixed in the crowd, had a solemn expression on his face, his fingers constantly stroking the strange mask hanging around his waist.

Ao Hu and Meng Chong also walked side by side to another place, where those who took shelter from the rain were just ordinary pilgrims and tourists.

However, if the fortune teller was here, he would find that the pretty girl who had just escaped from him was also among them.

Shen Tu looked at the two sturdy men coming towards her, a helpless smile appeared on her face. She shook her head to open the bun on top of her head. The moment her long hair fell over her shoulders, her simple temperament was tinged with strong charm, and a sharp edge was revealed in the palm of her right hand.

Suddenly, the sound of swords and knives rang out amid the rain.

Waves of murderous intent surged in the humid air.

"So many Ming ghosts have come in. Authority is really a good thing. It's a pity that I, Yin Wen, have bad luck in this life and I am not qualified to get involved."

Under a bush of blooming peonies, the fortune teller squatted on the ground, using the sign of his restaurant as an umbrella to cover his head, and looked with envy at Zou Sijiu who was holding a black umbrella in his hand not far away and looked very imposing.

"Good fortunes are intertwined with bad fortunes. Could it be that a lifetime of misfortunes is also a lifetime of good fortunes? The Yin-Yang order is really more than just a dream. Strengthening one's energy and luck is the right path."

"Are you just going to sell these two people out like this? Or are you guys at the East Palace playing some kind of sacrificial trick again? Will Zhan Shun suddenly appear in front of me in a moment?"

Zou Sijiu spoke with a smile, but the vigilance in his eyes not only did not decrease in the slightest, but became even more serious.

"When we first entered the dream, Yin Wen and I had not lost our memories. Even if you wrote down the rule of [Heaven and Earth Live Together] here, we still have a way to kill you. It is impossible for you to have the opportunity to wait for the guidance of the Bodhisattva of Ten Directions and regain your memories."

Zhai Chong ignored the sudden killing outside the eaves. It seemed that in his eyes, figuring out who had taken advantage in this dream was far more important than the lives of Zhao Yin and Shen Tu.

"If you say so, I did take advantage."

Contrary to Zhai Chong's expectation, this time Zou Sijiu did not continue to argue, but admitted it very frankly.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. How were you able to preserve your memories? Is it possible that my dream-making skills are so poor that you two true dream masters can't even empathize with me?"

Zhai Chong was silent for a moment. "Yin Wen's dream master rule is called [Yimeng Tingfeng], and part of its effect is that it can prevent him from being obsessed with any dream."

"Zhai Chong, how could he be so foolish as to tell everyone everything? If we can't come to an agreement later, won't it be troublesome for me to run away?"

The fortune teller was muttering to himself, and when he raised his head he met Zou Sijiu's gaze.

When their eyes met, Yin Wen grinned, stuck out his butt, clasped his fists and bowed, as a greeting to Zou Sijiu.

"I see. But after hearing you say that, I don't understand what you mean. Do you want me to feel guilty and spare your lives and let you leave the dream?"

Zou Sijiu returned his gaze to Zhai Chong and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, in Yongle Cave Heaven, you were the first to set up a trap to ambush and kill me. What are you doing now?"

Zhai Chong said in a deep voice: "Everything that happened before was just a pretense. If it weren't for the situation, Yin Wen and I would not want to get involved in this mess."

Yin Wen, who was squatting in the distance, seemed to be able to hear the conversation between the two from the wind. He nodded repeatedly, with a bitter look on his face and sighing.

"Are you going to rebel against Zhan Shun?"

Zou Sijiu suddenly laughed out loud. He had dealt with the East Emperor Palace many times and had seen many people trying to persuade him to surrender, but this was the first time he had seen someone who wanted to betray the East Emperor Palace.

Moreover, Zhai Chong and Yin Wen were not ordinary people. They were the only two true dream masters he knew of among the Nine Lords of the Eastern Palace, besides the 'God Lord' Zhan Shun.

Is Zhan Shun really so unpopular, or is this just another self-torture tactic?

Zou Sijiu was a little unsure and asked, "Since you don't want to get involved, why don't you leave the East Palace earlier? The Deep Sea has billions of dreams hidden in it, and it is vast and boundless. Even if Zhan Shun is the second-level Yin-Yang Sequence Master, can he still plunder you from one dream after another?"

"The sea of ​​dreams is boundless, but the real world is limited. Zou Sijiu, you are also a dream master, you should know that the flesh is not only a shackle for us to swim in the sea of ​​dreams, but also a beacon to guide us back to the real world."

Zhai Chong said bleakly: "It is not difficult to escape from the dream, but if we lose our physical body, sooner or later we will be lost in the Yellow Millet Sea, and our cognition will be dispersed by countless dream identities, and eventually we will become the same existence as the Yellow Millet Ghost."

The other party was telling the truth, but in Zou Sijiu's opinion, this was a bit extreme.

A master of the Yin-Yang Sequence Three Dreams was completely lost in the dark sea. He didn't know how many dreams he would go through or how long his reincarnation would take.

Even if he lost his physical body, he could still use a method similar to the Yellow Millet Ghost to take over the bodies of ordinary people who were connected to the dream world and return to the real world. He could even be like an enlightened ghost like Ao Hu and live in some special creations.

The situation that Zhai Chong described would not occur.

"I know what you want to say, but do you think that in the current Moxu, which family would dare to risk offending Zhan Shun to help us? Or are you willing to take over the body of an ordinary person, watch your sequence genes being locked again, and die in despair in degeneration?"

"It's miserable. It's really fucking miserable."

Yin Wen squatted under the flowers, feeling sorry for himself. The linen tent above his head with the words "Iron Mouth to Predict Life" written on it could not block the heavy rain. His clothes were completely soaked and he looked in a miserable state.

"At this moment in the Nether Sea, Concubine Yuan Ming has diverted most of Zhan Shun's attention. In addition, you have used your authority to create dreams, which has temporarily blocked Zhan Shun's prying. That's why we took this risk."

"If not for this, Yin Wen and I would rather fight you to the death and continue to wait for the next opportunity than to contact you rashly."

One was under the eaves nearby, and the other was in the rain far away. The two sang in unison, with such genuine feelings that it didn't seem like they were acting.

"Since your life is under threat, why do you still insist on rebelling? Do you really hate Zhan Shun so much?"

Zou Sijiu asked after pondering for a moment.

"How can I not hate it? How can I not be afraid?"

Zhai Chong spoke in a deep voice and turned to look at the fight going on in the rain.

Zhao Yin had already put on the mask, but the group of idlers and hooligans standing in front of him were no match for Shen Li and were all chopped down by a knife.

On the other side, Shen Tu was also in a desperate situation. She was surrounded by the fierce Ming ghosts led by Ao Hu and Meng Chong. It was only a matter of time before she was drowned by the crowd.

"What are the Nine Emperors of the East? They are just ghosts and monsters who are just filling in the numbers. Even if they hold the dream master's rules, these yellow millet ghosts are still as stupid as pigs."

Zhai Chong said angrily, "When I think that the Dream Master Rules written by You Tianjun with his life's work might fall into the hands of these filthy things, I wish I could peel off Zhan Shun's skin and eat his flesh!"

Most of the nine kings of the Donghuang Society are Huangliang ghosts, who take turns in controlling the dream master rules that no one knows who they once belonged to.

Zou Sijiu had already noticed this.

"The reason why Yin Wen and I are still alive is because he has not yet cultivated a Yellow Millet Ghost that can take over the rules of our Dream Master. But that day is probably not far away."

Zhai Chong laughed angrily: "In the eyes of Zhan Shun, we are nothing but pigs that breed rules, the four pillars for him to build his dream world, and the stepping stones for him to completely merge with Huangliang!" In the heavy rain, Zhao Yin was cut in half by Shen Li's sword, and his upper body fell in the rain. The cracked mask on his face revealed a pair of eyes as ferocious as a wolfhound, staring at Zhai Chong.

Pfft!

Shentu's arms were grabbed by Aohu and Mengchong respectively and torn off.

Her broken body stood still, her bloodstained face still charming as she smiled at Zhai Chong.

"You can't run away, not one of you can run away."

The scene is bizarre and extremely creepy.

"If you were in this situation, what would you do?"

Zhai Chong suddenly turned his head and looked at Zou Sijiu, his eyes bloodshot, and asked sternly: "Don't you want to fight for your own survival?"

"If the world were not unfair, who would want to do evil?"

Yin Wen let out a helpless sigh towards the sky, threw away the signboard in his hand, stood up and walked towards Zou Sijiu.

"We don't know what Zhan Shun's origin is, or when he achieved the Yin-Yang Sequence II. The only thing we know is that his dream master rule is called [Da Yan Xing Meng]."

"Dayan Xingmeng?"

Zou Sijiu's brows suddenly frowned.

Yin Wen nodded and said, "Yes, it is the 'Da Yan Xing Meng' that Yin Yang Sequence like you and me recited in the spell to call Huang Liang. Including the 'backdoors' that are now circulating in Yin Yang Sequence, most of them are from Zhan Shun's hand."

"The relationship between Zhan Shun and Huang Liang seems complicated."

Zou Sijiu secretly sighed in his heart, but this was also expected. After all, judging from the other party's current status, he was undoubtedly Huang Liang's biological son.

Even if the relationship between the two is not simple, it is just some abnormal emotions like mistresses, just like Huang Shilie in the Japanese area.

The most outrageous thing is that beneath the human appearance of Zhan Shun is the Huangliang consciousness itself.

But no matter which one it is, it makes no difference to Zou Sijiu.

It's nothing more than a life-and-death struggle.

"In fact, Zhai Chong didn't tell you the truth just now."

Zou Sijiu raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"

"He said we didn't run away because we couldn't bear to leave our earthly bodies and become ordinary mortals. He lied to you."

The appearance that Yin Wen fabricated for himself was that of a middle-aged man with long eyebrows and small eyes. He was thin, and his wet clothes stuck to his body, making him look even more skinny.

It was as if someone had eaten all the flesh and blood, leaving only an empty skeleton.

But his eyes were unusually bright, which was a far cry from Zhai Chong's despair on the verge of collapse.

"If we choose to abandon the world and hide in the dark sea, the result will only be worse."

Yin Wen smiled and said, "But we are not hiding it on purpose. We just don't want to make our situation look too miserable, for fear that you will take advantage of us. But on second thought, we only have this life left. What else can we lose?"

He walked up to Zhai Chong and patted the shoulder of his friend in need.

"We are now fish on the chopping block. There is no way to retreat and no room for bargaining. I only hope that Master Zou Meng will lend us a hand because we are all from the same Yin-Yang Order and we have never been your enemy."

The veins on the back of Yin Wen's hand that was placed on Zhai Chong's shoulder were bulging. He pressed the other person together and bowed deeply to Zou Sijiu.

What kind of personality does Zou Sijiu have?

In Shen Li's opinion, the other party may seem sloppy, domineering and mean on the surface, but in fact he is very considerate and warm-hearted.

It's not some fancy thing, but I'm used to seeing people being cold and indifferent, and my own heart remains unchanged.

As the rain fell from the sky, Shen Li washed the blood off his hands. He raised his head to signal Ao Hu and others not to come closer and to follow him out of the Tianhou Palace.

During the whole process, he did not say a word to Zou Sijiu who was thinking under the eaves.

With Shen Li's personality, if he were in the other's position, he would not pay any attention to these two people and would just kill them in one breath.

But no matter what choice Zou Sijiu makes in the end, he will fully support him.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Zou Sijiu is the smartest person among his group of people.

If these two people want to plot against Zou Sijiu, they will only dig a hole for themselves.
"Please don't do this, you two. It's embarrassing for me. To be honest, I also want to help when I see injustice, but what kind of person is Zhan Shun? How can I, Zou Sijiu, snatch him away from him? If you don't get up, I can only kowtow to you. Here I come."

Shen Li, who had already walked to the door, heard the shouting coming from under the eaves of the hall and smiled with his back to the crowd.

Yin Wen raised his body and looked at Zou Sijiu, who was shouting loudly but his body did not move at all, and the anxiety in his eyes subsided a lot.

If the other party does not reject directly, then there is still hope for further discussion. Whether it can be successful in the end depends on whether the conditions offered by the two of you can impress the other party.

On the contrary, if Zou Sijiu agreed to help immediately, Yin Wen might still be uneasy and suspect that the other party had some other ulterior motives.

"Master Zou Meng, you are joking. How dare we do such a thing? As long as you are willing to give us this chance to survive, we will repay you with gratitude. No matter whether we live or die in the end, your efforts will not be in vain."

Yin Wen nodded and bowed, his tone was so respectful that it was even a little humble. Not only did Zou Sijiu not feel comfortable, but he also felt a little depressed.

They are all the three dream masters of the Yin-Yang sequence, and Yin Wen and the other two achieved the sequence much earlier than themselves. But now, in order to survive, they have to give up all their face and dignity.

Face and dignity are useless. Zou Sijiu had thrown these two things away long ago. Being alive is better than anything else.

But now that it was someone else's turn to beg him for help, he felt uncomfortable.

"Now that we've come to this, let's stop beating around the bush. Since we can't talk about feelings, let's talk about business. As long as you can offer a high price, I will dare to touch the tiger's butt once!"

"Master Zou Meng is indeed straightforward."

As Yin Wen spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Zhai Chong on the back.

"My old friend's dream master rule is called [Pai Yan Tian Fang]. The name may seem confusing, but its actual function is very simple. It can help you write another dream master rule according to your wishes, such as the method of summoning gods that you usually use, Zou Mengzhu."

Yin Wen paused and explained the pros and cons in detail.

"Of course, this is just a replacement, and it is shared. If Zhai Chong dies, the Dream Master Rule will naturally dissipate. Before that, you and he can both use this Dream Master Rule."

Yin Wen carefully observed the changing expressions on Zou Sijiu's face and continued to raise the price.

"As for me [Yimeng Tingfeng], in addition to being able to maintain my own clarity, I can also detect some of the hidden tactics of others."

Yin Wen said softly, "It is best to seal up the [Eternal Loess] and [Long Night Sealed Legacy] in your hands with your authority. Things that Zhan Shun has used must be guarded against."

Zou Sijiu, who was excited by Zhai Chong's ability, was immediately chilled by these words.

However, the thought that came to his mind was not Zhan Shun’s cold and scheming, but the foresight of another old man.

"Let us make a fortune. Did old man Zhang calculate all this? He can't be so evil, right?"
