The ultimate master in the city

Startled, the four mandrills scrambled to their feet and turned to run. The mandrills in front and behind them saw this and instantly panicked. Amidst the pervasive eerie atmosphere, the mandrill in front plunged into the mountainside and disappeared, while the mandrills behind dropped the offerings and ran off in the blink of an eye.

The incident happened so suddenly that Zhou Fengchen was thrown onto the snow. He jumped up and swung his knife to strike, but in the blink of an eye, not a single mountain demon was left nearby. These ghostly creatures could run faster than rabbits.

Zhang Shisan chased a mandrill to the side of the mountain wall, intending to dive in, but he bumped into the wall and sat down on the snow with a cry of "Ouch!", rubbing his head.

The surroundings quieted down, and scattered snacks, candies, a large carp, and a large rooster were left all over the ground.

Zhou Fengchen couldn't help but curse, "What the hell are you doing? Didn't we agree to go inside before we started fighting?"

Zhang Shisan was extremely aggrieved. He got up and pointed at the mountain wall, saying, "Can you imagine that a mandrill was carrying me around just fine, and suddenly it pried open my butt?! I got goosebumps all over, how could I possibly stand it? Those beasts!"

"A mandrill can do this?" Zhou Fengchen chuckled.

At this moment, the nun Kuzhu rushed over with Liu Zhenguo, immediately demanding, "What's going on? Why aren't you following the plan?"

Zhou Fengchen suppressed a laugh and pointed at Zhang Shisan, "Ask him!"

Zhang Shisan grumbled, "I was harassed by a mandrill, and I couldn't help it!"

The nun, Kuzhu, paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Well... what should we do now?"

Zhou Fengchen thought for a moment, then pointed to the lake and asked Liu Zhenguo, "Did Su Sungua die in this lake?"

Liu Zhenguo said, "Uncle Gua himself said that he drowned here."

Zhou Fengchen nodded and walked around the small lake.

Zhang Shisan and the nun Kuzhu looked on curiously and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"The drowned ghost's habitat is limited. The place where Su Sungua and that female ghost are staying is probably not far from here. I'll try to break through the Yin path. Do you dare to come in with me and take a look?" Zhou Fengchen said.

Zhang Shisan slapped his forehead. "How could I not have thought of that? Let's go! What's there to be afraid of!"

Zhou Fengchen took out ten talismans, made a hand seal, and shouted, "Go!"

shhhhhh...

Ten talismans quickly surrounded the lake, emitting a hazy yellow light, flickering and floating uncertainly.

Zhang Shisan and the nun Kuzhu both had their eyes light up. Liu Zhenguo had never seen such methods before. He had been a little skeptical about whether the three young men had any real skills, but now he was completely convinced.

"By imperial decree to the Celestial Official, Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, are as clear as a mirror! So be it! Open!"

Zhou Fengchen formed a hand seal with one hand and shook one finger.

After the ten talismans spun around, a faint cloud of energy suddenly appeared on the other side of the lake, as if another world existed within it.

Zhang Shisan chuckled, "What a perfect mirror between Yin and Yang! Walking the path to the underworld isn't bad!"

"This is my first time using this thing," Zhou Fengchen shook his head. "Let's go!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhenguo stammered, "I... I guess I won't go in? It's too scary!"

"We're here to work for you! If you don't go in, who will?" Zhang Shisan grabbed his arm. "Let's go!"

The four of them entered through the cloud of yin energy. Zhou Fengchen casually put away the talisman and looked ahead. He saw that the surroundings were filled with yin energy, and there was a small villa in the woods not far ahead. A car was parked in the yard in front of the villa.

"A car, a villa!" Zhang Shisan was taken aback and asked, "Could this be something Su Sungua made up to burn for the female ghost Xiaohua?"

The nun, Kuzhu, nodded. "Possibly!"

Zhang Shisan took out four talismans. "One for each of you, to conceal your presence. Let's go take a look."

The four men stuffed the talismans into their pockets and crept over quietly.

Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, they saw that the small Western-style building had a rather peculiar shape, leaning precariously. Sure enough, a car was parked in the courtyard. Zhang Shisan pointed at the rear of the car with sharp eyes and said in a low voice, "Good heavens! It's a Yama brand."

The other three looked over and saw that the license plate on the back of the car was a human head with Wang Mian on it, which looked very strange.

Zhou Fengchen said, "Who cares what brand it is, let's go in and take a look."

As they were talking, a light suddenly came on in a side room of the small building, and a faint voice could be heard coming from inside.

All four of them were stunned for a moment, and then the old man Liu Zhenguo was so scared that he almost peed his pants, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Zhou Fengchen and the other two exchanged glances, grabbed Liu Zhenguo, and led him to the window of the side room to look inside.

There were four people inside, or rather, four ghosts. One was a man, who was ugly and covered in blood, as if he had been whipped.

The other three women were a pretty girl with long, flowing hair, wearing a red dress, and tearing open the man's clothes to wipe something. The other two looked like young girls and were kneeling to the side.

At this moment, the man smacked his lips and spoke, "Xiaohua, do you think we can escape this?"

The woman in red paused for a moment and then said, "Didn't you just get out of the mountain prison? Your nephew is qualified to perform the sacrifice. With Miss Honglang's help, we should be fine."

The man hesitated for a moment, "But... this is the Mountain God's order! The great figures of the underworld are fighting, and we..."

The woman gave a bitter smile, wiping her hands incessantly. "Don't say anything. What's meant to come will come, and don't think too much about what's not meant to come."

These four must be the female ghost Xiaohua, Susungua, and the two little girl ghosts.

The nun Kuzhu outside the window was about to speak with her palms together when Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan rushed to cover her mouth.

Ku Zhu dodged aside, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and looked puzzled.

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a wicked grin.

Zhang Shisan squatted down and said very quietly, "Isn't this Xiaohua very impressive? Shall we play with her?"

Ku Zhu frowned. "How do we play?"

Zhou Fengchen patted Liu Zhenguo, who was trembling and swallowing hard, and said, "You go!"

Liu Zhenguo was taken aback. "How am I supposed to go up?"

Zhou Fengchen said, "Go ahead and be as arrogant as you want. Don't worry, we'll be watching from behind!"

"I...I can't!" Liu Zhenguo's face turned pale. "I'm too old!"

"He's in his fifties, in the prime of his life!" Zhang Shisan grabbed him by the collar, pulled out the talisman from his body, and shoved him into the building's lobby.

"Who?" Without the talisman to conceal their presence, the four ghosts in the room instantly spotted Liu Zhenguo.

Liu Zhenguo, despite his advanced age, was nearly frightened to tears, stammering, "Uncle Gua! It's...it's me!"

The male ghost inside, Su Sungua, jumped to his feet, flung open the side room door, and stared wide-eyed. "How did you get in?"

The other three female ghosts immediately looked over with a sinister gaze.

Liu Zhenguo turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and forgot his words, not knowing how to speak.

The male ghost Su Sungua's face darkened. "You brat! This is the underworld. I'm asking you how you got in here!"

The red-clad female ghost, Xiaohua, slowly approached, "How did you, a mere mortal, get in?"

Remembering what "Master Zhou" outside had said, "Do whatever you want," Liu Zhenguo gritted his teeth and decided to go for it. "I'll come if I want to, what's it to you?"

Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Shisan, who were outside the window, covered their mouths and almost burst out laughing. Even the nun Kuzhu pursed her lips and struggled to hold it in.

"Well……"

The four ghosts were completely dumbfounded.

"I'll eat you!" Little Flower realized what was happening and stretched out her sharp claws to attack.

Su Sungua quickly grabbed her and asked, "Zhenguo, tell your uncle the truth, do you not want to perform the sacrifice anymore, and have found a powerful person to subdue us?"

Liu Zhenguo blinked, his mind racing, unsure how to respond.

Su Sungua asked again with a stern face, "Have you forgotten the lesson learned from Master Ziyun and his disciple back then?"

"I won't do it again!" Liu Zhenguo knelt down with a thud.

Damn! That's so cheap!

Zhou Fengchen, standing outside the window, couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "You little rascals in this desolate mountain, who gave you the audacity to act so violently? Kneel down before me!"
