After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 58. Thousands of ghosts march at night and go their separate ways

Nanzhu Peak, top of the cliff.

The old man sat solemnly in the wheelchair until he saw the man slowly emerging from the stone steps, then he smiled.

"Yan'er is here."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, because he always remembered that in front of outsiders, Master Shi would never show his intimacy with him, at most he would just call him "Xiao Song". Why did the address change today?

"teacher."

He also replied, and was about to ask about the strange beast, but he saw the old man waving and saying, "Come here."

Song Yan approached, and the old man grabbed his hand tightly, staring at him, and said in a deep voice: "It is rare to find a rare beast this time. I have finally secured a place for you. Don't let me down!"

Song Yan nodded and said, "Thank you, teacher."

Shizuo Weng released his hand and said, "Huai Yi, Yan'er is going to the main peak of Paper Man Peak. I'm worried that he doesn't know the rules, so you should go with him."

"Shi Lang." Bi Huaiyi gripped the wheelchair nervously.

Shi Zuo Weng smiled and said, "Go ahead."

After that, he looked at Song Yan again and said seriously: "Your master's wife was searched by Gu Tianyang, and her condition is not very good. Yan'er, remember to take care of her during this trip."

Seeing Song Yan's hesitation, Shi Zuo Weng showed a little annoyance and said, "Seeing your master's wife is like seeing me!"

Song Yan nodded. Since he had searched her soul, it seemed that the teacher had known that Bi Huaiyi wanted to harm him. The teacher really took good care of this woman.

But he didn't understand why the teacher wanted Bi Huaiyi to go with him.

"Go."

The old man leaned back in his wheelchair, smiled and waved.

Bi Huaiyi let go of his hand, lowered his head nervously and followed Song Yan, then boarded the empty boat with Song Yan.

The lone boat disappears into the distance, into the blue sky.

The old man looked into the distance for a long time before he stood up and shook his long sleeves. His hunched body seemed to be rejuvenated. With shining eyes, he looked west with his hands behind his back and muttered, "Come on."

far away
Song Yan stood on the deck and looked back at Nanzhu Peak. When the empty boat passed over the top of a green peak, he moved his sleeves and a small shadow puppet fell silently and hid among the leaves.

This shadow puppet was the strongest one in his hand, "a one-tailed fox demon with a deformed soul whose strength had reached the level of a high-level demon beast."

into the night.

No rain
The moon is dark and the wind is high.

"The fishy fog is so thick today!"

In the leather-making room, in the suspended room, a servant was lying in front of a gap.

He had been here for many years, but had never seen such a thick fishy fog, which almost seeped through the crystal into the house.

The red lanterns fluttered in the strong wind.

The disciple on duty at the main peak of Shadow Play Peak was already drowsy, but he was suddenly awakened because a silhouette appeared in the darkness not far away.

The fishy fog that had never reached this point before actually surged up along the outline.

"who!!"

The disciple on duty held the shadow puppet, stood up vigilantly, and shouted from a distance.

A strange and mixed laugh came from the fishy mist, one laugh was extremely crazy, the other one laughed as if in great sorrow.

The mixture of sad and happy sounds makes people feel extremely weird and terrifying.

The disciple on duty was stunned.

The laughter suddenly stopped, and a majestic voice came out from the fog: "My dear disciple, it's been such a long time since we last met, and you don't even recognize your master?"

The disciple on duty was stunned and saw a strange man with two faces walking towards him from a distance.

If this isn’t the former leader of Shadow Play Peak who already escaped, then who else could it be?
Behind the two-faced man, there were a number of bulging shadow puppets.

There are all kinds of monsters.

Rumble.
On the top of Nanzhu Peak, a stone door opened.

The disciples in the sect were so frightened that they hurriedly climbed up from the couch and looked outside, only to see an old man and a middle-aged man standing at the door.

"Master Shishi, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

The middle-aged man next to him laughed and said, "Master Shi, these new disciples don't recognize me anymore."

The old man said calmly: "Get up, the demon fox is attacking, the ghost cultivator is here to save us."

The demon fox is coming?

The ghost cultivator comes to rescue?

The disciple's brain crashed.

Master Shi did not explain, and said directly: "I will give you twenty breaths. If you can't catch up, you will die."

The disciple glanced outside the cave and saw a spooky aura. A fishy fog had spread to the Nanzhu Peak without him noticing. Ghosts and strange shadow puppets were flying around in the fog, creating an evil scene of thousands of ghosts wandering at night.

He quickly put on his clothes, and although the furnace cauldron on the side didn't know what happened, he also quickly put on his clothes and followed Master Shi.

And that middle-aged man was Cheng Danqing, the former leader of Nanzhu Peak.

On Nanzhu Peak, stone doors were knocked open one after another, and disciples came out one after another. However, there were also some disciples who didn't know the situation and shouted things like "Master Shi, you are possessed by an evil spirit" or "Master Shi, you betrayed Nanzhu Peak".

But these disciples were knocked unconscious by Cheng Danqing and then thrown onto the giant shadow puppet elephant behind.

As for throwing it to the group of shadow puppets in the bloody fog, that would not work.

The reason why the Leather Master and the Evil Spirit are a perfect match is that when the Leather Master makes the leather, the Evil Spirit will rush directly into and occupy the body.

But this kind of shadow puppets are chaotic shadow puppets that cannot be controlled by humans. They are like ghosts and full of chaos.

If you throw a living person to them, the next moment, the person will be dismembered and eaten as a feast on the plate, just like a mad dog that has not eaten for three days and three nights encountering meat bones.

Rumble.
Another stone door opened.

A strong and lewd smell rushed out from inside, followed by a man's "scream".

And then, a long-haired beauty with a naked white body walked down in the candlelight with her head held high, not afraid of having her curvy figure exposed.

In an instant, she saw Shi Zuo Weng and a group of disciples behind him, then turned her head slightly and met the middle-aged man's gaze again.

Cheng Danqing looked at her with a smile.

Wang Susu suddenly bowed down and said, "Susu still remembers the care of Master Cheng Feng, and I wanted to repay him privately, but I didn't have the chance. Now that we meet again, I'm not very happy."

Cheng Danqing grinned and laughed. He pointed at Wang Susu from a distance and said, "Master Shi, I said that Susu is the most sensible one here. See, I was right, wasn't I? Hahaha!"

Wang Susu quickly put on her dress and followed Cheng Danqing and Master Shi without asking any questions.

The furnace tripod over there was still shouting nervously, "Sister Wang, my legs are sore, please don't leave me. I'll be well soon, very soon!"

Wang Susu said with a giggle, "This journey is long, sister. I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt to the local climate and die on the way, becoming a burden. You don't want to be a burden to me, right? So don't go. Be good."

She stood on tiptoe, waved her hand, and then walked out with the crowd without stopping.

As soon as she left, a group of ghosts rushed into the cave and drowned the handsome man who was almost squeezed dry.

The group of people continued walking, and then slowly stopped in front of a cave.

Cheng Danqing looked at the cave and said, "If I remember correctly, this belongs to the disciple named Song Yan, right?"

Master Shi said, "Unfortunately, he was called away by the sect leader this morning."

Cheng Danqing sneered and said, "That's really unfortunate."

Master Shi said, "Let's go. He won't be missing out."

Wang Susu looked at the stone gate of the cave in surprise, and then followed the group away.

High
In the bloody fog, a deformed and strange figure was overlooking everything.

He saw Cheng Danqing who was in the lead, saw Master Shi's indifference, saw Wang Susu's joy, and saw all the disciples of Nanzhu Peak heading towards the evil place.

'I see.'

Song Yan sighed softly.

He was a quick-witted person, and although he was not very well-informed, he was able to come up with a general idea after just a brief look and some guesses.

The fox demon infiltrated but was not dealt with in order to foster the anger in the disciples' hearts, and then they could blame everything on the fox demon.

In secret, he was planning to sell the Shadow Play Peak.

It was because the former leader of the Shadow Puppet Peak was a ghost cultivator, and the leather masters who had accumulated power for many years had already been wiped out. So it would be better to give this lineage, which was no longer of much use, to the ghost cultivator in exchange for an alliance to fight against that fox lady.

As for why Master Shi was willing to take the initiative to go to the evil place, he had a rough guess: perhaps the teacher had found a new opportunity.

The reason why Wang Susu was so excited was that: in addition to the main peak of the Paper Man Peak being on the main vein of the Xuanmai, the center of the Evil Land was also on the main vein of the Xuanmai. Wouldn't this mean entering a better place for cultivation?

"This doesn't seem like a plan set up by the teacher, but rather by the clan leader."

Song Yan closed his eyes, watched everyone go away, and said silently in his heart: Have a safe journey.

After saying this, he suddenly realized something and used the "Bai Xiang Shen Yu" method to control the deformed fox to leap down and head straight towards his own cave.

Songyan Cave Mansion.

In the cave, the two women pressed against the stone door, listening to the noise outside, so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

After Cheng Danqing, Master Shi and their companions had gone far away, the shadow puppets in the bloody fog outside the door suddenly began to pound on the stone door as if they had received some orders.

In the cave, the earth was shaking.

The Queen Mother and Fu Hongmian were in a state of panic.

And just then.
Bang!
The stone gate exploded and a group of ghosts rushed in frantically.

The two women knew they could not escape and closed their eyes.

But the expected pain and death did not come. A strange "giant" fox was standing outside the door. When the ghosts saw it, they avoided it directly because the fox also had their breath.

However, in the eyes of the two women, the fox had used an illusion and turned into a human with a blurry face.

"Let's go." Song Yan said in a hoarse voice.

Fu Hongmian was so frightened that she dared not speak, but the Queen Mother asked, "Where are you going?"

Song Yan said: "Take you away from here."
