Chapter 107 Black and White Impermanence

Right at this critical juncture.

A sound came from afar.

"Waaaaah~~~~~~"

Like weeping, like pleading, like a ghost.

It sounded like the wind squeezing through a narrow gap, or like something was crying.

It drifted over from the back garden wall, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes near, sometimes far.

It was Gu Mingyue, the person in charge of creating the atmosphere, who was squatting outside the courtyard wall making background music.

She herself is afraid of the dark and ghosts.

I'm terrified.

When I was little, my neighbor's grandma told me a story about a water ghost, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to wash her face for a whole month.

But Gu Mingyue was going all out for tonight's plan.

She took a peach branch and hid under a peach tree.

The two had no lanterns and were huddled together by the faint moonlight, trembling with fear.

The peach tree behind us rustled in the night wind.

The shadows of the trees fell to the ground, swaying wildly.

Gu Mingyue felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.

But she couldn't back down.

She is in charge of creating a festive atmosphere.

She has to be responsible for the quality of tonight's background music.

So, Gu Mingyue and Taozhi each put a willow leaf in their mouths, puffed out their cheeks, and blew hard.

The willow leaves vibrated in the airflow, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Combined with the rustling sound of the night wind passing through the treetops, it sounded just like the legendary wailing of ghosts.

To be honest, as Gu Mingyue was blowing on it, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.

She forced herself not to think about those random things.

What ghosts and spirits, what person standing in the corner, what someone watching you from behind...

Stop thinking about it, stop thinking about it, stop thinking about it.

But the more I think about it, the more scared I get.

Gu Mingyue and Taozhi were very engrossed in their conversation.

The airflow carried a natural tremolo.

I wonder how things are progressing in the courtyard?

Gu Mingyue listened intently to the sounds coming from the courtyard.

She didn't hear her father's screams, nor did she hear the sound of tables and chairs being overturned in fright.

All that could be heard was the clicking sound of Taozhi's teeth chattering in fright.

Gu Mingyue frowned.

That shouldn't be the case.

According to the plan, Yi Wu Yi Shi should have arrived at the study door by now, and her father should have already started wailing.

Those were two men, each eight feet tall, with pale faces painted on, holding up soul-locking chains.

With her father's courage, wouldn't he have fainted on the spot?

Why is there no sound at all?

Could it be that her father drank tonight?

Is it because you didn't exaggerate enough?

She spat out the willow leaf from her mouth and took out another one from her sleeve.

Thinner.

I specifically chose it beforehand.

After soaking in the stream for an hour, it became as soft as a cicada's wing, and when blown, the sound became sharper and clearer.

She picked up the willow leaf, took a deep breath, and blew out a second tune.

This tone is sharper, thinner, and longer than the first one.

Like an invisible needle, it pierced everyone's ear from the night sky.

Even Gu Mingyue herself was sent a chill down her spine by the sound.

It sounds just like a ghost's scream.

She almost scared herself.

"Waaah~~" Peach Blossom's eyes filled with tears, "That was so scary."

Gu Mingyue knew, of course, how terrifying it was.

But she can't stop.

She also encouraged Taozhi.

"Peach Blossom, keep going, make sure to get the atmosphere going. If you're really scared, just cry."

Then, Taozhi started sobbing.

Fearful yet restrained, tears streamed down her face.

"Waaaaah~~~~Waaaah~~~~"

She cried so pitifully.

Gu Mingyue felt a little sorry for him, but then she thought, it's good, genuine feelings are more effective than acting.

Inside the courtyard.

The lights under the eaves were off, and a cloud drifted by, obscuring the moonlight.

Visibility dimmed.

The leaves rustled, and faint weeping and ghostly whistling sounds drifted from afar.

The crying was especially chilling.

It was intermittent, like a woman crying, or a child crying, but it was hard to hear clearly.

I could feel the sound floating right next to my ears.

The hairs on Yi Wu's neck stood on end, and he muttered something under his breath:

"Is this... real or fake?"

No one answered him.

Both groups of Black and White Impermanence were frozen in place.

Yi Shi got goosebumps all over.

He gripped the mourning stick tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

Gu Mingli's situation isn't much better.

He held the chain himself and moved closer to Yi Shi.

The two of them instinctively took half a step back, letting Yi Wu go first.

Five people dressed as ghosts were terrified by the "ghostly wailing" that came from nowhere.

The atmosphere was a little creepy.

Gu Mingli felt like his scalp was about to explode, and wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

But at this moment, the words of the sage could not be recalled.

But the ghost stories my buddies in the college dorm kept popping into my head.

He really didn't want to stay in this stalemate any longer.

"Um~~~"

Gu Mingli spoke in a trembling voice.

"Four adults?"

"You guys...don't you still have duties to perform?"

The subtext is: Please leave now! Please!

"Ah~~~Yes~~~" Yi Shi's voice trembled slightly.

He tugged at the soul-snatching chain in his hand.

The chain rattled loudly, its sound particularly jarring in the quiet night.

All four of them shuddered at the same time.

"We're busy too~~~ Well then~~~ let's hit the road~~~~"

The two ghosts opposite seemed to have realized what was happening as well.

With a trembling mouth, he replied, "Ah~~~ right~~~ everyone~~~ still has tasks to complete~~~ let's go."

So none of the four Black and White Impermanence dared to look at each other.

They each stayed close to the wall, heading in different directions.

They walked very quietly, afraid that making a noise would attract some unclean spirits.

The burly man opposite him was hunched over, his neck hunched, his footsteps light and shuffling, like a thief, as if he wanted to disappear into a crack in the wall.

Yi Wu's pale face swayed in the moonlight.

The Soul-Locking Chain dragged on the ground, making a soft, metallic scraping sound.

If an unsuspecting person were to pass by at this moment, they would most likely be scared to death.

The atmosphere was incredibly eerie.

……

Yi Wu Yi Shi led Gu Mingli around the artificial hill in the back garden.

Only when they could no longer see the Black and White Impermanence on the other side did the three of them breathe a long sigh of relief.

That's terrifying!

"Let's go, let's get down to business."

Gu Mingli pointed to the study.

The three of them quickly made their way along the west corridor toward Gu Debai's study.

Yi Wu was walking in the lead when he suddenly stopped.

"The study light is off."

Gu Mingli brushed aside his disheveled hair with both hands and looked through the part of his hair.

The candlelight in the study window was indeed gone, leaving it completely dark.

"Oh no, my dad's finished praying to Buddha."

Yi Shi tilted his head. "Where do we go after we're done praying?"

"Go back to your bedroom and sleep."

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked eastward.

Gu Debai's bedroom was in the main house of the east courtyard, separated from his study by a small garden and a moon gate.

According to the old man's habit, to walk back to his bedroom from the study, he needed to go through a corridor, pass through a moon gate, and then walk about twenty steps.

In other words, they had to change their route.

"Let's go, let's ambush him in the bedroom."

Without saying a word, Yi Wu turned around and left.

Yi Shi followed, pulling on the chain, the other end of which was connected to Gu Mingli's neck.

Gu Mingli was pulled so hard he stumbled, then jogged a few steps to catch up.

"Go easy! You're strangling me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Yi Shi turned around and quickly loosened the chain.

"How is the young master?"

Yi Shi's usually sunny face has now turned into a deathly pale, ghostly face.

But paired with that innocent and naive gaze, it looks particularly eerie.

"fine."
