Chapter 32: The Days of Being a Midwife for Nezha
Li Feng didn't wait for Wu Hong to come back to his senses, and asked in a panic: "Tell me, what did you see in Qinghu?!"

He couldn't believe that Madam Yin would appear in Cailian Town.

"I……"

Wu Hong gasped for air and murmured in fear, "Master Li, the Qinghu Lake is full of long hair. We dare not approach it at all, and even... it is difficult to even look directly at it."

He couldn't help but dry heave again, but what came out was only acid.

"The general who was traveling with us only took one more look at Qinghu Lake, and his eyes were occupied by countless black hairs. He died in a moment."

Wu Hong knew very well that he was not able to deal with the evil spirit, so he kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, but he could hear chilling screams throughout the whole process.

Li Feng fell into silence, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Song Kuo patted Wu Hong on the back, and his hands and feet couldn't stop shaking.

Wu Hong covered his face and collapsed, "We found a body of a lotus root picker with black hair halfway up the mountain. I suggested taking the body back to the government office, but they insisted on going to Qinghu!"

"All dead!"

“They are all dead!!”

Li Feng was in a state of confusion, and things were getting out of control.

He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly searched Wu Hong's body, then took out a letter from home with a grim expression.

"Lord Li, I...I didn't know about this letter."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Li Feng picked up the letter from home. The paper was slightly yellowed and solidified blood stains could be seen. On the cover was written "Sent from Yin's Family of the Li Mansion in Chentangguan".

"It is indeed Madam Yin."

He opened the letter from home and found a blank page inside.

And a lock of black hair.

Li Feng felt extremely suffocated. Before escorting the coffin, the general's mansion had clearly blocked all the postmen, so how could they have been missed?

Everyone was confused, but soon realized the strangeness of the matter.

The black hair squirmed like a living thing. Before long, it had grown into hundreds of strands, with the ends of the black hair still stuck to the scalp.

Li Feng knew that as his black hair continued to grow, he would sooner or later become Madam Yin's clone, and no one could escape.

"Tai...Yi Xianzun, only Taiyi Xianzun can save us!"

He hurried to the backyard, trying to contact the missing Taiyi Zhenren through Yang He, but when he approached the door he smelled a stench of corpse.

Li Feng stood there in a daze, seeing that Yang He had no chance of survival.

The corpse was hanging in the air, with large areas of flesh showing signs of decay, and the yang energy it emitted was faint, making it almost look like a dead person.

"Master Yang, you..."

Yang He suddenly opened his eyes, and a ghost pupil appeared between his eyebrows, causing a cold wind to sweep through the backyard, and the fourth blood vessel in the white of his eye finally took shape.

He was seriously injured, but fortunately his half-human, half-ghost physique did not affect his movements.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Lord Li. I almost died by accident."

Yang He spat out the blood in his mouth and did not take the tonic pill immediately. Instead, he tried to break free from the red silk when the yang fire dimmed.

The Yang Fire became weaker and weaker, and Nezha gradually stopped paying attention to Yang He.

In the corner of the backyard, there were already more than a dozen emaciated corpses piled up.

Click.

The ghost hand grabbed the red silk that bound Yang He and pulled it hard.

"Master Li, is the black hair in the family letter a sign of an evil spirit that is about to descend?"

"Yes."

Yang He landed lightly and left the backyard, swallowing a handful of Dabu Dan. "My master and I encountered a black-haired evil spirit on the road. It seemed to come from an old postman who had died."

The yang fire rekindled, the corpse was completely destroyed, and the ghost hand disappeared between the flesh.

When Li Feng heard that Taiyi Zhenren knew about Madam Yin's existence, he couldn't help but calm himself down, "The evil spirit is called Madam Yin, not her real body, but the strength of her incarnation is comparable to the [Zuodan Realm]." Yang He understood that the Zuodan Realm corresponded to the Evil Ghost Stage.

"If I'm not mistaken, the black-haired evil spirit is Senior Brother's biological mother, right?"

"Yes."

Li Feng explained: "Mrs. Yin can incarnate by sending a letter. Her real body should still be in the...ancestral hall in Chentangguan."

Yang He secretly thought it was a sin that an ordinary woman in the original work could become so evil.

"Master Yang, do you have any way to contact Taiyi Immortal Venerable?"

When everyone saw Yang He shaking his head, they immediately looked despair.

Yang He frowned and said, "Master has fought with Madam Yin before. He is also an incarnation, so he asked me to wait in Cailian Town first."

Li Feng said to himself in a deep voice: "So, Taiyi Immortal Venerable is likely to have gone to Qinghu?"

"Well, I guess he is the one who temporarily imprisoned Madam Yin in the water."

Everyone was digesting what Yang He said, and Li Feng had already made up his mind, "Master Yang, it's up to you to decide what to do next."

Yang He did not speak immediately, but carefully sorted out the whole story of the Ghost Lotus.

He was not clear about Taiyi Zhenren's plan, but he could see some clues from the original work. Qinghu was obviously the place to resurrect Nezha.

In the original work, Nezha was resurrected in the Wulian Pond on Qianyuan Mountain, while in the world of allusion, it is the ghost lotus in Qinghu Lake.

"Nezha has transformed into a ghost. If this happens, I'm afraid his resentment will rise to the sky."

Yang He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and then he realized that if he wanted to complete the allusion of Ghost Lotus, he had to turn passivity into initiative.

"Sir Li, I think if I continue to wait in the government office, I will die."

"Why not escort the coffin to Qinghu!"

Taiyi Zhenren is definitely unreliable. After all, as long as nothing unexpected happens to Nezha, even if all the people in Cailian Town die, it will not affect the overall situation.

Yang He also had another advantage: Madam Yin did not kill children.

Li Feng did not hesitate too much, "Master Yang, if that's the case, let us send the Third Young Master off for the last time, so that this trip will not be in vain."

Yang He pointed at his black hair and said, "Well, find a way to send the letter home to a place far away from Qinghu. The longer the delay, the better."

Li Feng glanced at the few remaining officers and soldiers: "I will carry the coffin up the mountain myself, and Jia Xin needs someone to ride the horse and whip it."

"Who's coming?"

"General, let me do it."

"General, I'm the fastest rider among all the soldiers under your command!"

Li Feng selected one person, and the officer kept the letter close to his body, rode his horse in the opposite direction, and soon disappeared into the dust.

Yang He secretly sighed that Li Jing was indeed a ruthless character who would be deified in the future.

The soldiers and generals of Chentang Pass are not simple.

"Master Li, Senior Brother has absorbed enough Yang energy and will not wake up in a short time."

Nezha’s current condition is very strange. Although he still cannot be born, Yang He feels like he is about to give birth.

Li Feng took a deep breath and slowly approached the coffin.

"There is no time to lose. We must get to Qinghu before dark."

"drink!"

Li Feng lifted the coffin and carried it on his shoulder, and the half-hanging living people fell to the ground one after another. Their yang energy was damaged, but at least their lives were not in danger.

"Master Yang, thank you for taking care of the affairs of our General's Mansion."

"fine."

Yang He drew the copper coin sword from his waist, and followed Li Feng with the other officers and soldiers, and witnessed the coffin swaying as it left the yamen.

"Brother, I am your midwife now, please behave yourself."
