Chapter 1013 There is a problem

After leaving the City of the Dead, the old ghost led the way. He looked around with his hands on his back and pointed in a direction.

"The Wuyou Ridge is not far from Huangquan. From here... it's about a thousand miles away..."

Pu Yanlan immediately raised a gust of cold wind and headed in the direction the old ghost had mentioned. However, the thousand miles the old ghost had mentioned actually took them half a day to fly.

"its not right!"

Gu Shiyi frowned and glanced at the old ghost.

"It's a thousand miles away. It takes us half a day to fly there. You are talking nonsense, old ghost!"

The old ghost also looked puzzled.
"Well... I remember it was a thousand miles out of the City of the Dead... not that far from the underworld!"

Gu Shiyi heard this and said impatiently,

"Based on our speed, let alone a thousand miles, we could probably go to the underworld and back. All along the way... let alone the underworld, we didn't even see a decent ditch. Did you go the wrong direction?"

"This one……"

The old ghost scratched the top of his shiny head, lowered his head and thought for a long time.
"It's obviously not wrong..."

So he stood in mid-air, with his hands on his back, and looked for a long time, and finally he suddenly realized and cried out,
"Ah... I remember... 3,468 years ago, the underworld was shaken, and Huangquan was moved 300 miles to the southwest. Wuyou Ridge and Huangquan are adjacent, so I think they were also moved 300 miles to the southwest..."

Gu Shiyi was furious when he heard this and raised his fist.

"You are playing tricks on us, old man!"

She raised her fist, and the old ghost squatted on the ground with his head in his hands very skillfully, shouting,
"Sir, spare your life!"

Pu Yanlan on the side advised,
"Eleven, don't bother with him, we still have important things to do..."

Gu Shiyi snorted and reached out to pull the old ghost up.

"Hurry up and lead the way!"

Then another gust of cold wind blew up, and the direction changed and it fled back for a distance. This time it finally found the right place!

To be honest, it was a good decision to bring this old man with me. If no one pointed him out, I really wouldn’t have recognized him!
The Wuyou Ridge is very ordinary. From a high altitude, it looks like a slender centipede lying on the ground, with higher ends and lower middle. There are several gullies of varying depths and lengths on all sides, extending to both sides like the thin feet of a centipede. This Wuyou Ridge is more like a slender earth slope than a ridge. Like most hills in the underworld, there is no big tree except for the rocks all over the mountain. Only a few weeds grow out of the sparse cracks in the rocks, swaying in the wind.

The three of them descended to the position of the centipede's head and looked around.
"Yan'er, where are the three unusual things recorded in the book?"

Pu Yanlan took out the ancient book and looked at it, then pointed and said,
"One is near us, another is at the end, and another is in a ravine..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Let's take a closer look..."

The first place was a place where yang was hidden in yin. It was easy to find. Gu Shiyi only needed to sense it slightly before he found a fist-sized hole under a huge rock. He lifted the rock and saw gusts of black air floating out of the hole.
"Isn't it said that there is yang hidden in yin?"

Gu Shiyi was a little confused. This was clearly a spooky ghostly aura!

Pu Yanlan smiled, stretched out her hand to take the golden hairpin from her head, flicked it lightly, and the golden hairpin turned into golden light and shot into the hole.
"boom……"

The three heard a loud bang under their feet, and a golden light shone brightly in the hole, which turned into a golden-feathered bird. The bird flapped its wings and flew out backwards, holding a golden earthworm in its mouth. Half of the earthworm's body was pulled out, and the other half was hidden in the hole, struggling with the bird.
"Eh... this thing is full of Yang energy and it's actually alive!"

This is really strange. Are there still creatures from the mortal world in the underworld?
Pu Yanlan smiled faintly.
"Yin contains Yang, and Yang contains Yin. This is common sense in the world. This should be the location of the Yang Eye of the underworld. This thing is naturally generated by the Yang Eye, lying dormant here to absorb Yang energy. When the heaven and earth are overturned, Yin becomes Yang, and Yang becomes Yin, it will be able to break out of the ground!"

"So...what exactly is this?"

Gu Shiyi looked at the earthworm struggling with the golden bird, and Pu Yanlan responded,
"You can call it an earth dragon... Although it is called a dragon, it is not a true dragon. It is the same as the fire spirit, and is a spirit of heaven and earth!"

Oh, I see!
Gu Shiyi nodded, and suddenly stretched out his hand and gently patted the bird that the gold hairpin had transformed into.
"Snapped……"

The bird was slapped away by her, and the little earthworm shrank back in a flash.

"Forget it. It's rare for it to have cultivated to this level in a place like this. Let's let it go!"

Pu Yanlan naturally had no objection and nodded. Gu Shiyi stood up and turned around to see the old ghost standing beside him with his head down. She raised her eyebrows slightly and rolled her eyes. She glanced at Pu Yanlan again without leaving a trace. Pu Yanlan said lightly,

"Let's go look somewhere else!"

The other place was at the end of Wuyou Ridge, where there was a small pond, no more than two or three feet in size. After the two of them walked around the pond, Gu Shiyi said in surprise,
"There's not even a trace of fluctuation in the Yin energy here..."

Pu Yanlan looked around.
"Indeed, there is not even any yin energy here..."

The yin energy in the underworld is as ubiquitous as the yang energy in the human world, but it is not here. It's really strange!
Gu Shiyi thought about it, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the old ghost's shoulder.
"Ah...you...what are you doing?"

The old ghost was startled, and with a scream, he was thrown into the water by Gu Shiyi.
"Wave……"

The old ghost fell into the calm pond, which was like a big bubble bursting. Then the water in the pond quickly boiled as if it had been boiled, and the water in the center of the pond kept rolling.
"what……"

The old ghost was like a ghost thrown into a frying pan. He screamed and bounced up, turning into a fish jumping out of the pond, jumping straight up from the water. Gu Shiyi stretched out his hand to pull him back, squinting at the center of the water.
"It's true that there is yin hidden in yang. The water here is yang water, and the yin energy nearby is kept out of the pond..."

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"That's true... The terrain here is really weird!"

Gu Shiyi took a look at the old ghost who was rolling and screaming on the ground. The wrinkled skin on the old ghost's body looked like it was burned. Large pieces of skin on his back and buttocks fell off. A strong ghost aura came out from the wound. This was because he was burned by the yang energy in the water.

"You keep an eye on it, I'll go down and take a look!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and watched Gu Shiyi jump into the center of the water with a splash. It was strange to say, the water looked no more than two or three feet deep, but as soon as Gu Shiyi entered the water, the tall figure disappeared without a trace!

Pu Yanlan turned her head to look at the old ghost, walked over and said softly,
"How is your injury? I have a pill here... do you need it?"

After that, he gave out a pill. The old ghost was overjoyed and quickly took it.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" He stuffed it into his mouth, and the pain on his face really eased. The ghost energy coming out of his body gradually became thinner. The old ghost knelt down again and saluted Pu Yanlan.

"Thank you, sir!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and said softly,

"My companion has a bad temper. She is angry that you made her run the wrong way before, so she is just punishing you a little. You just need to be more careful next time!"

The old ghost nodded hurriedly.
"I understand now. I won't dare to do it again! Thank you for your advice, sir!"

As they were talking, they heard a splash on the water. Gu Shiyi had returned.
"There is a spring below, and all that comes out of it is Yang energy..."

Pu Yanlan nodded, thought for a moment and said,

"This place should be connected to the hole over there by the earth vein, which is why it became the Yangshui Spring here..."

Although these two places are magical, they are not what they are looking for.
"Let's go... let's go to the last place!"

The cold wind blew up and went to the third place.

"There's nothing wrong here, right?"

Wuyou Ridge was originally a small hill, with several deep and shallow gullies on both sides. The deepest one was only ten feet deep, and the shallowest one was only ten feet deep. The width was thirty to five feet, and the narrowest one was only about one foot. There was no need for spiritual sense at all. With their eyesight, they could see the bottom at a glance.
The three of them stood in front of a rock crack that was one foot wide and more than ten feet deep. Gu Shiyi frowned.

"Yan'er, is this really the place described in the book?"

She released her demon sense to scan the area, and saw nothing but rocks below, nothing unusual!
Pu Yanlan nodded,
"It is indeed this place. I won't be mistaken..."

After saying that, she looked around and really didn't find anything strange. She looked at the old ghost.

"Do you notice anything unusual?"

The old ghost also looked bewildered.

"This... I... I am not experienced enough to notice anything unusual..."

After saying this, he stretched his neck to look into the ravine.
"If there is any difference, it's just a little deeper than the one next to it, the rest is invisible..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Isn't it said that within a few feet of that place, the yin and yang will be unbalanced... It seems that we have to go down and take a look. Who will take the lead..."

After saying that, she looked at Lao Gui with a bad look. After what happened before, Lao Gui immediately understood what Gu Shiyi was going to do. He was startled and knelt down all of a sudden, crying,
"Sir, I have offended you and have been punished before. Please be merciful and forgive me!"

Gu Shiyi listened with annoyance.

"Why are you crying? I just asked you to go down and explore the way. I won't let you lose your soul. Go down safely and come back safely. What are you afraid of?"

The old ghost cried even louder.

"My lord, I am a yin creature. If I enter that place, the yin and yang will be unbalanced, and my soul will be dissolved. I won't even be able to reincarnate. Please spare my life!"

Gu Shiyi became increasingly annoyed by his crying, and came up to him and started beating him.
"If you keep crying, do you believe that I will make you die without having to go down?"

The old ghost was so scared that he held his head to the ground, raised his butt high, and acted like an ostrich.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

Pu Yanlan, who was standing by, stepped forward and said softly,
"Eleven, never mind... He has been in the underworld for several dynasties. It is not easy for him to survive until now..."

After thinking for a while, he took out a pill and said,

"This is a Ghost King Pill. If you are willing to go down and explore the way for us, I will give it to you. How about that?"

The old ghost's crying stopped abruptly. He looked up at the Ghost King Pill in Pu Yanlan's hand and saw that the ghost energy lingering on it was extremely pure. A hideous ghost head was faintly visible in the rotation. The ghost energy had already taken shape!

"This... this is really the Ghost King Pill!"

The old ghost was overjoyed and said quickly,

"My Lord, I am willing! I am willing!"

Gu Shiyi snorted coldly,
"If you are willing, then go down!"

The old ghost responded, stood up and walked towards the edge of the ravine. When he reached the edge, he turned back and asked Pu Yanlan pitifully,

"Sir, you won't break your promise, will you?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Don't worry, I never break my promise!"

After hearing this, the old ghost turned around and looked at the dark crack in the rock below. He gritted his teeth and jumped down...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan stood at the edge and looked at each other. Gu Shiyi sneered.
"There's something wrong with this old guy..."

Pu Yanlan also nodded and said,
"really!"

The two of them had noticed that the old ghost had been acting very realistically since they entered the Soul Enlightenment Pavilion yesterday. Even the two of them, Yang Shangong, and the ghost messengers below hadn't noticed anything strange. Just now, Gu Shiyi also suddenly realized that when she put the earth dragon back, she clearly saw a strange look of pity in the eyes of the old ghost who was lowering his head, as if he didn't want to put the earth dragon back...

Later, when she threw the old ghost into the pond, although the old ghost looked panic-stricken, when he jumped out of the water, Gu Shiyi clearly sensed a trace of spiritual power emanating from the old ghost.

"I gave him a Blood Pill to eat, and he put it into his mouth right in front of me, but he didn't actually swallow it, and instead spat it out when I wasn't paying attention!"

Pu Yanlan said calmly that she and Gu Shiyi had a tacit understanding for many years. After she found out that Gu Shiyi was trying to test the old ghost, she also helped to test it. The Blood Imperial Pill was made by her for the ghosts under her command. After the ghosts swallowed it, she would control the medicinal properties to flow in their bodies. Therefore, there was a trace of her blood in the pill. She could tell whether it was taken into the stomach. She could sense that the pill was still in the bag on the old ghost's waist!
Gu Shiyi sneered,
"Tell me, what is the origin of this old man? Is he an undercover agent arranged by Yan Luo in the underworld?"

The emperor likes to arrange undercover agents, ministers like to do it, bosses like to do it, and even parents like to have one or two undercover agents in the group, just to monitor the every move of their subordinates and prevent people from spying on them behind their backs. That Yan Luo has just taken office not long ago, and on the surface he has old people like Yang Shangong who have taken refuge with him. Secretly, he will definitely get one or two inconspicuous people whom he trusts to hide among the underworld messengers to tip off him and make accusations!
