I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

A cold wind howled, and a chilling atmosphere pervaded the air.

A flatbed carriage carrying a three-story stone tower sped across the flat ground.

This time, they did not go from the direction of Black Wind Mountain, but followed the direction of the water source, first heading west and then south.

Guobei County is located at the junction of Sizhou and Qingzhou, making it a well-connected and prosperous commercial hub.

Otherwise, Simonda wouldn't have settled here back then.

The road to Black Wind Mountain is the shortest in a straight line, but it is not the optimal solution.

Firstly, the roads in Black Wind Mountain have not yet been fully paved.

Secondly, it was also because Ximen Qing didn't want to expose the existence of Black Wind Stronghold—there were still many notorious bandits inside, who were left behind as resources.

Of course, it is also an undeniable fact that this road is smoother and more populated.

They traveled from day to night, and only the two of them remained on the main road.

A huge, unsettling full moon hung in the sky, surrounded by endless darkness, with only the panting of horses in the fields.

Ximen Qing and Zhou Chun stopped talking and looked into the distance.

On the horizon was a pool of water formed by a depression, which shimmered under the moonlight.

A row of dark blue lanterns had appeared along the roadside at some point.

From a distance, it looks rather eerie!

However, as the carriage drew closer, Ximen Qing realized that they were actually weasels standing upright, staring at the passing carriage.

Even though he couldn't see their faces clearly, Ximen Qing could still sense the longing they carried.

It's the kind of feeling that comes from the heart!

It can't be acted out!

It was as if Ximen Qing and Zhou Chun, who happened to be passing by, were their second parents.

The countless gazes along the way put immense pressure on Ximen Qing!

"Are these all demons?" He looked at Zhou Chun, who had already stood up beside him.

"No! Not yet!"

Zhou Chun placed the Six Harmonies Sword beside him, ready for battle.

"Ten thousand rats blocking the road, quite a grand spectacle! Perhaps the leader of these weasels is about to undergo tribulation and transform into human form! Don't panic, we are both cultivators, they wouldn't dare to offend us even if they had a few more lives! Don't look, don't respond! If you respond, you might really witness a highly skilled weasel spirit appear in the world."

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, Ximen Qing nodded.

I already had a guess in my heart what I was about to face.

The weasel is asking for a title?

Legend has it that before a weasel can transform into human form, it must undergo a tribulation and first stop mortals on their way to ask questions.

The question is, "Do I look like a human being to you?"

If the answer is yes, the weasel has succeeded, and the person who responded will be considered a benefactor, and the weasel will receive a reward from them later.

However, this also diminishes one's good karma, and one will certainly die young after returning home.

However, if the answer is not correct, and the weasel fails its tribulation, then the person who responded will likely suffer endless harassment and persecution.

It's important to know that weasels are a very large species, with a litter of more than a dozen.

"Judging from Senior Zhou's tone, this weasel is quite troublesome?"

Ximen Qing asked curiously.

"No, but weasel demons are generally despicable. After you kill one, it easily becomes covered in a stench that takes months to dissipate! I had a senior brother who encountered a male demon abusing a woman. After killing him, he found out it was a weasel. The stench filled the whole mountain; it was truly terrifying!"

Zhou Chun spoke with lingering fear, his face full of resistance.

"Huh?" Ximen Qing was speechless, not expecting such a reason.

However, just like Zhou Chun said, these weasels probably won't attack them, right?

After all, it was obvious at a glance that they both possessed cultivation...

"puff!!"

Just as Ximen Qing was thinking this, a series of gas release sounds suddenly rang out from all directions.

As the carriage moved forward, an indescribable stench assaulted the air from all directions.

A visible brownish-yellow gas surged into the channel and rushed towards them.

The moment they made contact, Ximen Qing nearly fainted! He quickly held his breath and focused his mind, narrowly escaping death.

As is well known, a horse's nostrils are several times larger than a human's, so after a mournful cry, apart from [Qin Ming's warhorse]...

The other two horses were instantly killed by the smell and fell to the ground.

The carriage lost its balance and overturned to the side.

The blue stone pagoda was overturned to one side.

"How dare you!"

Zhou Chun was furious, his face flushed slightly.

He had just put on a show in front of Ximen Qing, but he was immediately embarrassed!

He, the dignified Master of the Six Harmonies Sword and one of the Three Heroes of Qi Qing! How could he possibly swallow such a humiliation!

He immediately drew his sword and flew out, and a sudden gust of wind arose around him, carrying away the stench from all directions. However, there were too many weasels around, and they kept coming.

For a moment, they were at a stalemate.

Ximen Qing also held his breath and retreated to the side of the blue stone pagoda, ready to grab his weapon at any moment!

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind.

A sharp claw emerged from the foul mist, rested on Ximen Qing's shoulder, and spoke:

"Young man, do I look like a human being to you?"

Ximen Qing subconsciously turned his head and saw a huge weasel standing upright, as tall as two people, its eyes gleaming like car headlights in the night.

She stared straight at him.

In the distance, Zhou Chun also spotted the other party, turned around instantly, and shouted:

"Don't look into its eyes!"

However, it was too late. At this moment, Ximen Qing's eyes met the other's.

Zhou Chun cursed under his breath.

His entire body flickered like a ghost, leaving afterimages in his wake, as he rushed towards the large weasel.

Along the way, fearless weasels would leap up and block his path, trying to stop him.

However, with the Six Harmonies Sword Qi surrounding him, he had no rivals and rushed behind Ximen Qing in just a few breaths.

But it was just a matter of a few breaths.

Ximen Qing suddenly spoke up.

When he spoke, Zhou Chun gritted his teeth, and the weasel spirit opposite him revealed an exaggerated smile, looking at Ximen Qing with an expression of great anticipation.

"You look like a legally dressed blonde maid, a big, cute little girl!"

Starting with long and complex sentences, he completely stunned the opposing weasel.

Zhou Chun, who was about to draw his sword and attack, was also at a loss. What the heck? What is this giant radish?

"Kid! You're kidding me!?"

The giant weasel roared angrily.

"Ha, I've already told you, why don't you change?" Ximen Qing shrugged, his eyes clear.

The last time he was bewitched was when he first encountered the female ghost under the command of the Tree Demon Granny; at that time, his system had not yet been activated.

Now, it is wishful thinking for this weasel to try to take his mind!

"Waaaah! Men! Retreat!"

The weasel glared fiercely at Zhou Chun in front of it, cursed angrily, and roared to the sky.

A chorus of responses rose and fell from the surroundings.

"Come and go as you please?! That's not so easy!"
