Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 136 Coming to Yao
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Gu, this way."

Liu Feiyang led Gu Mo and Gu Chudong to a nearby corridor and said as they walked, "This place was like this when I came here two years ago. There were corpses and coffins everywhere. They were all the homeless souls of those who died in a foreign land."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "No one came to claim it?"

Liu Feiyang said, "Those with coffins are better off. Maybe someone will come and claim them and take them back in the future. But those that were thrown here were mostly left there after a fight in the martial arts world. The government couldn't find anything afterwards, or they just took them here and left them there because they didn't want to investigate."

Gu Chudong said, "Where are their relatives?"

Liu Feiyang chuckled and said, "Most of those who come out to make a living are ordinary people. How many of them dare to bring their families with them? They all come out alone, and no one will believe the saying that misfortune will not affect their families, so naturally they will not reveal their home addresses.

So, the Jianghu is full of wild ghosts, all homeless souls. Most people are dead and that's it. Their bodies can't be brought home, and their families won't know whether they're dead or alive. Unless they're a well-known figure in the Jianghu, who cares if someone doesn't die every day?

Gu Chudong was silent for a moment, grabbed Gu Mo's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother..."

Gu Mo gently stroked Gu Chudong's head and said, "It's okay, I'm always here."

Gu Chudong looked up and said, "Brother, tell me, Dad and Mom..."

Gu Mo was silent for a while, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

He felt that what Liu Feiyang said was right. There were wild ghosts everywhere in the world, all of them were homeless souls.

Not everyone in the underworld has a past full of grievances and grudges like the protagonists in operas, and not everyone's parents have an unknown identity and a thrilling story waiting for their children to explore.

Most people are just ordinary people in the world, lonely ghosts who died in a corner of the world and no one cares about them.

Gu Mo had already prepared himself for that. The Xuanxu Sword Skills and Xuanxu Heart Skills that his parents had passed down to him and his sister were only second- or third-rate in the martial arts world. And with his current martial arts level, recalling the martial arts his parents had displayed in his memory, they were only second- or third-rate.

The sudden and hasty departure that year,
Perhaps it was just like what Liu Feiyang said just now, no one in the underworld would believe that misfortune would not affect the family, so they did not leave any clues when they left.

Because they may be one of those homeless souls buried in the world.

……

Soon, under the leadership of Liu Feiyang, Gu Mo and his group searched for a long time before finding a room with a complete roof that could shelter from the rain.

It was a large hall, quite spacious, but there was no furniture or anything like that inside.

Of course, there couldn't possibly be any furniture left here. After all, Zhengqi Villa had been wiped out for so many years, and the furniture inside had long been moved away. There were always people who would take advantage of the situation, especially since the furniture was ownerless. If Zhengqi Villa hadn't been haunted, it would have been occupied long ago. How could it have been abandoned to this point?

However, there are seven or eight coffins in the hall, and there are traces of a fire in the middle. It seems that someone passed by here and stayed overnight a few days ago.

Liu Feiyang took out a fire starter and lit the lamp he carried with him, then asked his men to open the windows to ventilate and dissipate the smell.

Liu Feiyang looked at the coffins, bowed, and said, "Everyone, we are passing through here. It is dark and rainy, so we have to stay here for the night. Please forgive us for disturbing you!"

Originally, Gu Chudong didn't care about the coffins in the hall, but Liu Feiyang's move suddenly made her feel a little uneasy. She pulled Gu Mo's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, there won't be ghosts here, right?"

Gu Mo nodded seriously and said, "Maybe. There are so many coffins and corpses in this villa, and most of them are homeless souls with heavy resentment. The possibility of them turning into resentful ghosts is very high."

Gu Chudong's face turned pale, and then she looked up and saw Gu Mo's playful smile, and immediately said angrily: "Brother, you are so annoying, you are scaring me on purpose!"

Gu Mo chuckled and said, "Captain Liu greeted the corpse out of respect for the deceased, not because he really thought there were ghosts here. I don't know if ghosts really exist in the world, but I can be sure that even if there are, ghosts can't be more powerful than humans."

"Why?" Gu Chudong asked.

Gu Mo said, "If ghosts are more powerful, who would still be a human? Even if ghosts are more powerful, they can't hurt people. You can't become a ghost just because you want to. Otherwise, why would there be so much fighting and killing in this world?"

"That's right." Gu Chudong nodded.

After a while

Two escorts went to the yard and brought in some wooden boards to make a fire.

Gu Mo seriously suspected that it was coffin wood, but he didn't say it.

Just as the fire started burning, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. With a loud "boom", it exploded above their heads without any warning, making everyone's eardrums hurt.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans fell with a crackling sound, and in an instant it became a downpour, hitting the roof, making a dense and noisy sound.

Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the room with flickering light. Everyone gathered around the fire, chatting away, with Gu Chudong constantly asking Liu Feiyang and the others about the goings-on in the Qingzhou underworld.

Liu Feiyang and his companions were all natives of Qingzhou and were escort missions. They were very familiar with every part of Qingzhou and knew a lot of gossip, so they were more than capable of answering Gu Chudong's questions.

Just as they were chatting, the escort Zhao Hu, who was sitting in the innermost seat, suddenly let out a startled cry. Everyone looked at him fiercely. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes wide open with fear, and he pointed his finger towards the door with trembling hands, stammering, "There's... there's a ghost!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a tall, almost eerie figure standing at the door in the midst of the violent storm. He moved slowly, but was like an invisible mountain, pressing down on everyone so that they couldn't breathe. In the darkness, his figure twisted and swayed, as if he would pounce on everyone and devour them at any time.

Everyone felt a chill on their spines, their hair stood on end, and their hearts beat like thunder. For a moment, everyone's expressions were tense and they held their breath unconsciously.

Liu Feiyang and others subconsciously grasped their weapons.

When a strange figure suddenly appeared among the coffins in the villa, people couldn't help but think of a ghost.

At this moment, Gu Mo said calmly, "It's okay, it's a human."

The voice was not loud, but steady and powerful, like a tranquilizer, slightly easing everyone's tense nerves.

At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky like a sharp blade, and in an instant, it illuminated the entire world as bright as day.

In this bright moment, everyone finally saw clearly that it was a burly man. He was tall, with muscles bulging like rocks, a full beard, and a rough and heroic expression, without any ghostly or eerie feeling.

The reason why that figure looked so scary just now,
It was because he was carrying a box on his back, a huge box that looked like a small coffin from a distance. It was tied with iron chains and looked very strange amid the howling wind and the pounding rain.

Liu Feiyang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, but they were not too relaxed. They could only say that they were sure that the other party was a human and not a ghost, and they were less afraid of the unknown ghost, but that did not mean that they were relieved about the human.

Travelers, especially those who escort goods, are always nervous when they go out.

Several people quietly drew their weapons.

The other party naturally saw the people in the room, so he stood at the door without moving, letting the heavy rain fall on him. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said, "Excuse me, are you the owner of Zhengqi Villa?"

The man had a low voice and spoke very slowly.

However, these words made Liu Feiyang and others nervous again. Who normally would ask questions about the owner of Zhengqi Villa, which had been abandoned for decades?
However, the thought of Gu Mo's presence eased Liu Feiyang's anxiety. He stood up, walked to the door, and said, "Who are you? This place has been abandoned for a long time. It hasn't had an owner for over forty years!"

The strong man asked doubtfully, "Did they move away?"

Liu Feiyang's doubts grew even stronger, and he asked, "Do you have any grudges against Zhengqi Villa?"

The sturdy man said, "Delivery. Back then, the owner of Zhengqi Villa, Chen Tongxuan, asked my master to customize a weapon. However, my master was injured at the time, so the weapon was never successfully forged. It wasn't until a while ago that I finally finished forging the weapon, and my master asked me to deliver it to you."

Liu Feiyang said in a deep voice, "Well, I'm afraid that the weapon won't be delivered to you. You've arrived over forty years too late. The entire Zhengqi Villa was wiped out forty years ago. Chen Tongxuan and his children were all killed."

The strong man was silent for a while, then asked, "Can I come in to avoid the rain?"

Although Liu Feiyang felt that this person was a bit mysterious, he was polite and alone, so he didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. He was not so nervous anymore and didn't want to offend anyone. He followed the principle of doing good to others and benefiting himself, so he said with a bow, "This place is unowned. Please feel free to do as you please."

He walked in carrying a big box. Every step he took was heavy, and the rope of the box was stretched very tight.

The man walked into the hall.
He moved to the corner very consciously and quietly. His figure looked particularly large in the dim light, like a moving hill.

Reaching the corner, he firmly grasped the iron chain of the box on his back with both hands and slowly removed it. His movements were extremely cautious. As the box gradually left his back, his body sank slightly, the muscles in his legs tensed and veins bulged. The muscles in his thick arms bulged like rocks, trembling slightly as he bore the weight of the box.

When the box finally touched the ground, there was a dull thud, like a heavy object falling, sending dust flying and even the very air of the hall trembling. The sound was dull and heavy, not like the sound of an ordinary wooden box falling to the ground, but rather like a coffin filled with iron blocks. The floor tiles actually sank.

Liu Feiyang and the others' pupils shrank slightly.

The strong man must be no ordinary person since he can walk with such a heavy box on his back.

Fortunately, the strong man had no ill intentions. He bowed and leaned in the corner in silence.

at this time,

Suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from far away and soon arrived outside the villa.

A dozen women, all dressed in elegant and graceful clothes, braved the rain. They dismounted their horses skillfully, holding the reins and strode lightly into the villa.

Although he saw that there were already people in the hall, he didn't say hello and ran in directly. Seeing that there was still a lot of dry firewood piled next to Gu Mo and his group, a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old came over and ordered, "You guys go build another fire over there, and leave this one to us."

Immediately,

The porter sitting next to Liu Feiyang was very angry and was about to object, but was stopped by Liu Feiyang. Facing his puzzled gaze, Liu Feiyang quickly stood up and said, "Fairies, please, we will make way."

After saying that, Liu Feiyang quickly whispered to Gu Mo and Gu Chudong, "Master Gu, Lady Gu, these people are disciples of the Xuannv Palace. There's no need to offend them!"
