After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 156

On the phone, Master Qingxu's voice came through WeChat voice message, slightly embarrassed: "Lulu, about borrowing the path, I really didn't explain it clearly to you. After all, no one in our Metaphysics Association would borrow the Ghost Path so frequently..."

Although there are no explicit rules, everyone understands this implicitly. After all, the underworld is not your own backyard, where you can come and go as you please. If you need to borrow it in an emergency, that's already more than enough!

For so many years, we've stuck to the old ways.

Unexpectedly, a white egret suddenly appeared, someone who doesn't play by the rules.

"That's it..."

The egret blinked, indicating that it understood.

"But it's okay, use it if you want, don't worry about anything else!"

Master Qingxu sensed the disappointment in Bailu's tone and quickly said, "The people of the underworld haven't explicitly forbidden us from using it a certain number of times, so do whatever is convenient for you! However, we'll have to find another ghost path."

Bai Lu shook her head: "No, let's not. Since everyone is doing it this way, I won't make an exception."

Use it only when there's a real emergency.

She turned and walked to the window, drew back the heavy curtains, letting the first rays of morning sunlight stream into the slightly messy room. She squinted her eyes slightly.

A girl's room can be so tidy that even a butterfly would slip and fall, or so messy that cockroaches would want to stay there!

Egret's room is somewhere in between—organized chaos. Clothes aren't folded, blankets aren't made, and the room, which originally had no wardrobe, has a natural, messy beauty.

She did try to tidy up, but it took her three hours to organize and only three minutes to make a mess, and many things were pretty much the same. So she eventually just let things take their course.

And she made peace with herself—after all, messiness is also a kind of beauty!

Wait a minute, Bailu suddenly felt something was wrong: "Why change to a ghost path?"

Master Qingxu sent another voice message: "I was just about to tell you. There's a small problem in the underworld. After Qingming Festival, for some unknown reason, the ghosts in the underworld rioted and tried to escape. A familiar underworld official said that the ghost path we used has been targeted. For some unknown reason, the originally stable passage has developed cracks, and those lonely ghosts are trying to escape to the mortal world through the cracks."

"what?"

This was something the egret hadn't anticipated.

In that case, what the ghost messenger said to her is quite intriguing. He wasn't blaming her, but rather reminding her.

But why not just say it directly? Why beat around the bush?
Are ghosts really that cunning and convoluted?

"Don't worry, the underworld will handle these things. What we need to do is temporarily stop using that ghost path and prevent unscrupulous ghosts from taking advantage of the situation."

Bai Lu frowned: "This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. Why hasn't the underworld notified us? Wouldn't it be safer to temporarily stop using the Ghost Path?"

Master Qingxu was silent for a moment, but finally said, "Because I just learned about this matter—the ghost who was in charge of managing this ghost path also wanted to escape from the underworld and had been covering for other ghosts attacking the cracks in the ghost path. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Bai Lu frowned, knowing all too well how fragile the balance between the underworld and the mortal realm was.

Once a wandering ghost escapes to the mortal realm, it will not only bring chaos to the mortal realm, but those wandering ghosts themselves will also suffer great pain because they cannot withstand the yang energy of the mortal realm. They may even lose themselves and become evil ghosts that harm the living beings of the mortal realm.
