Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1872 Inspection
Flying over the Ivy Valley and passing through several layers of black mist, Ye Gufan discovered that the north of the mountain that his sister Ye Qingqing mentioned was the exit for the ghosts to enter the mountain.

Seeing Ye Qingqing's ghost sedan flying towards them, all the old ghosts in front of the pass stood in awe, staring at the sedan in the air, not daring to express their anger.

At the same time, the wandering souls crowded in front of the pass stopped and kept quiet, not daring to make any noise.

The ghost sedan landed, and the ghost maid lifted up the sedan curtain. Ye Qingqing, dressed in a plain white dress and wearing a green gauze on her face, slowly got off the sedan.

"I've seen Qing Gu!" Dozens of old ghosts guarding the gate all clasped their fists and saluted.

Ye Qingqing put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and said: "No courtesy. How many wandering souls have entered the mountain belly so far?"

The old ghost in the lead brought a ledger and said, "It's already close to a thousand, so we follow the old rules of the past, and now we are very strict, and try our best to take care of the wandering souls whose souls are about to disperse."

"Very good." Ye Qingqing nodded, turned to the dark wandering souls outside the pass, and said:

"I would like to announce something to everyone. Recently, the ghost mother is arresting a wandering soul named Ye Gufan. He is a newly dead ghost in his 20s. He is slender. He was a Taoist disciple. If you have any news or find any clues, please contact me. Tell the ghost guards here, and we will be very grateful."

As soon as this remark came out, the wandering ghosts outside the pass all turned their heads to look around, and at the same time whispered, saying: "Ye Gufan? This is the wandering soul that the ghost mother wants, whoever finds him will be fine!"

Ye Qingqing turned around and ordered the old ghosts guarding the gate, saying: "Check carefully and if you encounter any suspicious wandering souls, hand them over to me immediately."

"Yes." The leading guard old ghost cupped his fists and frowned: "Qing Gu, the boy we sent earlier seems to be called Ye Fan, right? The age and appearance of the wandering soul are somewhat consistent, isn't it... ..."

"No!" Ye Qingqing waved his hand decisively and said: "That kid is not the wandering ghost that the ghost mother is looking for, and he is glib and has been destroyed by me."

"Good job, Qinggu knows everything. Don't worry, we will step up the investigation. Once we find a suspected wandering soul, we will take him there immediately." The old ghost guard said with a smile.

Ye Gufan, who had disguised himself as Zhou Haiming, sneered on the side, he was here, but unfortunately, those old ghosts couldn't see his true face.Then I thought about it, my sister was really a very brave person, and she was not afraid of being seen through, and brought herself to the pass.

Ye Qingqing nodded, turned around and got on the sedan, and said: "You all should be careful. If you catch Ye Gufan, you will be rewarded heavily."

"As ordered, I will send you off to Qing Gu!" The old ghost guards clasped their fists together and bowed to see her off.

My sister is so majestic!Ye Gufan sighed in his heart and floated up with the ghost sedan.

The sedan did not take the original route, but turned around and headed southeast into the mountains.

Ye Gufan looked around and found that the atmosphere inside and outside the pass was completely different.When you enter the depths of the mountain, you feel that the spirit of the fairy is overflowing and abundant, but the spirit of the ghost is very weak, almost negligible.

The sedan stopped in a black bamboo forest. In front of it was a cave, and there were ghost soldiers guarding the cave.

Seeing Ye Qingqing, the ghost soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello.

Ye Qingqing nodded and slowly entered the cave.Ye Gufan followed his sister, and upon entering the cave, he discovered that there was a cave inside.

The cave is very long, and the further you go inside, the wider it becomes. White will-o'-the-wisp lanterns are dotted on the four walls, casting a glow of fluorescence.

The ghost sedan bearers were all outside, and the only ghost maid Hua Nu and Ye Gufan were beside Ye Qingqing.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Ye Gufan lowered his voice and asked, "Qinggu, is this cave the center of Yinshan Mountain?"

"Yeah." Ye Qingqing didn't look at Ye Gufan, looked straight ahead, and said: "After two days, the wandering souls outside will enter this cave to receive conditioning and promotion. But time is limited, they can only walk through the cave Once again, another batch of wandering souls will come in."

Ye Gufan looked around and asked: "But I have already entered the cave, why don't I feel the effectiveness of any formation?"

"That's because the formation hasn't been activated yet." Ye Qingqing said as he walked to the middle of the cave and stopped in front of a platform made of skulls.

The platform was no taller than a person, but it was about one foot in diameter.And from bottom to top, they are all made of human skulls. Each skull has a face protruding out, with two empty eye holes staring out.

On the upper part of the platform, there is a bronze plate with Bagua patterns engraved on it.In the middle of the pattern, there is a small tripod!
The small copper tripod was exactly the same as the Chengdu tripod that Ye Gufan had seen, but the pattern on the outside and the depiction of the characters were different.Needless to say, this is one of Wu Zetian's nine tripods.

Because he didn't dare to reveal his identity now, Ye Gufan couldn't carefully inspect the small bronze tripod.

"Qinggu, this little tripod is the key to unlocking the formation, right?" Ye Gufan asked in a low voice.

"Every step is key, and Xiaoding is also a key part." Ye Qingqing looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, we're done."

Ye Gufan didn't feel comfortable asking anymore, so he nodded and continued to move forward after his sister.

Ye Qingqing did not look back, but went straight forward. Soon, he came out of the cave from another direction and stood on the edge of a volcanic lake.

My sister took a trip from here on purpose, probably to familiarize me with the environment, right?Ye Gufan smiled inwardly and felt proud of his sister. Unexpectedly, his sister grew up in this ghost place and was isolated from the world, but she was quite scheming.

The ghost sedan floated over, Ye Qingqing got on the sedan and said: "Go back to Ivy Valley."

This means that the inspection is over and we have to go home.

Ye Gufan followed the sedan and floated all the way back to Ivy Valley. He had basically understood the terrain and traffic here.

After returning to the house, Ye Qingqing took off her veil and asked, "Brother, after taking a look around, what do you think?"

"I think my sister is very majestic and powerful!" Ye Gufan gave a thumbs up and said.

Ye Qingqing smiled and whispered: "In the Yinshan area, I am considered inferior to one ghost and above all ghosts. Apart from the ghost mother, I have the highest status. Those old ghosts should respect me."

Ye Gufan nodded and asked: "Sister, you have lived here for 15 years, isolated from the world, only seeing ghosts but no people. Have you ever thought about one day leaving Yinshan and living in a prosperous area of ​​the world?"

"Outside?" Ye Qingqing sighed, and said, "I also want to go outside, but it's not because of the prosperity, but because I want to go out to find my parents and you. But the ghost mother sees me as her own daughter, so what if I... Just walk away?"

Ye Gufan was in a dilemma, but he could understand his sister's thoughts.

Now, what Ye Gufan is worried about is, if he fights with Yinshan Ghost Mother, how will his sister deal with herself?
