Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 247 Catching the Ghost in the Cave, the Strange Copper-Armored Corpse
Enter the Zhuge family.

Guan Shaoqing and Zhuge Kongping sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard after being warmly welcomed by the family.

"I heard from Aunt Bai that Uncle Zhuge captured a rare bronze-armored corpse that is absolutely unique?"

After sitting down, Guan Shaoqing looked at Zhuge Kongping and got straight to the point.

"Shaoqing, do you know my Junior Sister Bai?"

Zhuge Kongping and Wang Hui, who were standing next to him, were greatly surprised to hear this. They did not expect that Guan Shaoqing knew Bai Rourou. They were also curious about how the two knew each other, since Bai Rourou was Zhuge Kongping's junior sister, not a disciple of Maoshan, and usually lived in seclusion and cultivated.

"To be honest with you, Uncle and Aunt, my acquaintance with Aunt Bai was purely by chance."

Guan Shaoqing then smiled and roughly recounted how he had met Bai Rourou by chance in Huanghe Town.

"I met and got to know Aunt Bai by chance in Huanghe Town, but I didn't get to visit her because I still had matters to attend to in the capital. So, after the matters in the capital were resolved, I made a special trip to visit Aunt Bai yesterday. It just so happens that Aunt Bai also received a message from Uncle Zhuge, which is how I learned about these events."

"Furthermore, after Aunt Bai learned that I was coming to visit, she stopped coming and asked me to pass on this information to Uncle Zhuge."

Finally, Guan Shaoqing briefly explained why he knew about Zhuge Kongping's situation and informed Bai Rourou that she would not be coming over.

However, Guan Shaoqing only mentioned that he happened to encounter Zhuge Kongping's spirit bird message while visiting Bai Rourou yesterday, without revealing the specifics of his relationship with Bai Rourou.
"I see."

Upon hearing Guan Shaoqing's explanation, Zhuge Kongping and his family of four immediately understood, and at the same time, they had no doubts whatsoever.

The topic immediately shifted to the rare bronze-armored corpse that Zhuge Kongping had captured after Guan Shaoqing's words.

And when it comes to that rare bronze-armored corpse...

Zhuge Kongping's interest was immediately piqued, and he began to chat with Guan Shaoqing.

"Young Master, you don't know this, but that bronze-armored corpse is truly unique. Not only is its strength far superior to that of ordinary bronze-armored corpses, but anyone who touches it will be unlucky. Once you get involved, you will be plagued by bad luck. It's incredibly evil. That's why I was forced to ask your Aunt Bai for help."

"This is simply a miracle among zombies."

"Hmph, miracles, my foot! They've been having such bad luck and they're still so happy. They won't admit it until they're faced with the truth. If you ask me, that zombie should have been burned down long ago, and the Ghost-Catching Cave is a hidden danger. They should all have been burned down."

Wang Hui, who was standing next to Zhuge Kongping, looked at him with great interest and said in annoyance that she disapproved of his hobby of studying and collecting zombies and ghosts.

After all, demons and ghosts are still demons and ghosts, and most of them have no humanity. Even if they are cultivators, they can still get into trouble if they are not careful.

Therefore, we adhere to the principle of safety first.

Wang Hui had never really approved of her husband Zhuge Kongping's hobby.

"What do you know? The ones I collect are all rare varieties of demons and ghosts, unparalleled in the world, and possess extremely high research and collection value."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongping immediately argued his case logically.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui didn't continue arguing with Zhuge Kongping, after all, Guan Shaoqing was still there. She then said...

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. You take good care of Shaoqing, and Xiaohua and I will go tidy up the yard and rooms and buy groceries."

After saying that, he looked at Guan Shaoqing and said.

"Shaoqing, you and your martial aunt sit down and rest for a while. Xiaohua and I will go and tidy up your courtyard and room, and then go and buy some groceries to prepare dinner. Since you are here at your martial aunt's place, you must stay for a few more days."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Auntie."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and replied upon hearing this.

"You child, why are you being so polite when you come to your aunt's place? Don't worry about the trouble. Make yourself at home. If you need anything, just ask your aunt and Xiaoming."

"okay."

Wang Hui then led Zhuge Xiaohua and her daughter out of the courtyard and left.

"Women can be troublesome sometimes, Shaoqing. Let me tell you, your aunt is good in every way, but sometimes she's like an old woman. Don't listen to her."

After Wang Hui left with Zhuge Xiaohua.

Zhuge Kongping immediately whispered to Guan Shaoqing.

"My aunt is just worried about my uncle."

Guan Shaoqing replied with a smile.

“I know that, which is why I said your aunt is good in every way, except that she’s a bit too much of a nagging mother sometimes.”

"Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's continue with our previous topic. That bronze-armored corpse is definitely a rare zombie that is one of a kind in the world. Nephew, would you like to go and take a look?"

Zhuge Kongping waved his hand and said.

"I've long heard from Aunt Bai that Uncle Zhuge's Ghost-Catching Cave is filled with countless demons and ghosts, and I've been wanting to see it for a long time."

Guan Shaoqian naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, he had long been eyeing Zhuge Kongping's Ghost-Catching Cave.

"Then come on, your uncle will take you to see my ghost-catching cave. It's full of my proudest masterpieces."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongping immediately stood up with delight, as it was rare for someone to appreciate his prized collection, and he was naturally extremely happy. Soon, under Zhuge Kongping's guidance...

Guan Shaoqing followed them to the front of the Ghost-Catching Cave.

The Ghost-Catching Cave is very large, located in a spacious mountain bay at the foot of the mountain behind the Zhuge family. It has a dome-shaped roof and is completely sealed with ink lines and talismans on all sides. The gate is made of a huge Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

To be honest, the sheer scale of the Ghost-Catching Cave surprised even Guan Shaoqing.

Guan Shaoqing didn't feel anything when he watched it in the movie in his previous life.

But now that he has actually arrived here, he can clearly feel and appreciate the sheer scale of this ghost-catching cave.

Guan Shaoqing suspected that, given the scale of this ghost-catching cave, the cost of building it alone would probably be several thousand silver dollars, not to mention the manpower and effort involved.

This undoubtedly makes it clear.

Zhuge Kongping truly loved collecting and studying demons and ghosts, and for this he spared no expense in building such a massive ghost-catching cave.

"This is my ghost-catching den, Shaoqing, come with me."

As Zhuge Kongping led Guan Shaoqing to the entrance of the Ghost-Catching Cave, his face was filled with pride and smugness. This Ghost-Catching Cave and the many demons and ghosts it contained could be considered his greatest masterpiece and source of pride in his life.

"Then my junior disciple is going to have a very interesting experience today."

"Haha, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, junior nephew. Perhaps the strength of these demons and monsters that your uncle has captured is not up to your standards, but the variety will definitely broaden your horizons."

Zhuge Kongping laughed loudly, then used magic to open the door of the Ghost-Catching Cave and led Guan Shaoqing inside.

Upon entering the Ghost-Catching Cave, a dense aura of demons and ghosts overwhelms the area, and various demonic and ghostly figures appear.

"This is a hanged ghost."

"This is a headless ghost."

"This is a nine-lives cat demon."

"This is a starving ghost."

"This is a beautiful ghost."

"This is a tree spirit."

"This is."

Zhuge Kongping then began to speak eloquently to Guan Shaoqing.

At this moment, Guan Shaoqing truly felt his eyes were opened. He saw that the Ghost-Catching Cave had a ghost every three steps, a demon every five steps, and a monster every ten steps. It was truly a place where all kinds of evil spirits and ghosts were present.

Guan Shaoqing roughly counted that there were probably nearly a hundred kinds of demons and ghosts in the entire Ghost-Catching Cave, and the total number of demons and ghosts was as high as two or three hundred. All of them were trapped in a certain space by Zhuge Kongping using array formations and talismans.

"What a magnificent ghost-catching cave! Uncle, you've truly broadened my horizons here."

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but praise, "Although the demons and monsters in the Ghost Cave that Zhuge Kongping captured were not very strong, they were all demons and monsters below the Golden Core level."

In terms of strength, these demons and monsters are naturally no match for Guan Shaoqing.

But in terms of variety, these demons and monsters truly broadened Guan Shaoqing's horizons; there were many kinds of demons and monsters he had never seen before.

"Haha, come on, your uncle will take you to see that bronze-armored corpse again."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Kongping burst into laughter, and then led Guan Shaoqing to the bronze-armored corpse inside the Ghost-Catching Cave.

At this moment, the bronze-armored corpse was being suppressed by Zhuge Kongping using coffin nails and a Bagua array of red talismans.

"This bronze-armored corpse is not only extremely strange, but anyone who gets involved with it will be unlucky. Moreover, its strength far surpasses that of ordinary bronze-armored corpses. It is not only incredibly strong, but ordinary talismans, ink lines, and rooster blood are also ineffective against it. Only coffin nails can suppress it."

Zhuge Kongping introduced Guan Shaoqing.

Guan Shaoqing looked over and saw that the bronze-armored corpse was dressed in Yuan Dynasty clothing. Its corpse aura was indeed powerful and astonishing. Although it was a bronze-armored corpse, its aura was no less than that of an ordinary silver-armored corpse. Moreover, it also had an aura of disaster and misfortune on its body.

Guan Shaoqing guessed that this dark and ominous aura was probably the source of the misfortune brought by the bronze-armored corpse.

This bronze-armored corpse is indeed strange.

"This bronze-armored corpse is indeed extraordinary. Although it is a bronze-armored corpse, its aura is no weaker than that of a silver-armored corpse, and it also carries an aura of calamity and misfortune."

Afterwards, Guan Shaoqing followed Zhuge Kongping and wandered around the Ghost-Catching Cave for more than half an hour.

The group didn't leave the Ghost-Catching Cave until Zhuge Xiaohua came to call them for dinner.

However, just as the group returned to the Zhuge family courtyard to prepare for dinner...

"Ah, Brother Kong Ping, I've arrived!"

Just then, a signature laugh suddenly came from outside.

The world's number one Maotai has arrived!
