Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 151 It Was Intentional! (Second Update!)
Just then, Ku Lan seemed to be about to enter, and almost bumped into Zheng Que's arms.

Seeing that Zheng Que had regained consciousness, Ku Lan froze for a moment, but she reacted quickly and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"

"I'm not in line, I'm here to save you!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que fell silent for a moment.

When he woke up, only the ghost bride was in the room. It was no surprise that after he gave the ghost bride an order in the underworld, she dared not let Kulan divination her anymore, so she called Kulan out of the room.

This is why Kulan is queuing up outside...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que didn't have time to argue with Ku Lan and immediately asked, "Where is this place? Where is the ghost bride?"

"And what about Qingli and Niannu?"

Ku Lan composed herself and quickly replied, "Young Master, this is still Shu Family Fortress. Luofu... the Ghost Bride has taken over this place."

"The Ghost Bride's spies are everywhere here now, making it extremely difficult to escape."

"Young master, come with me. I will take you to see the other ghost servants."

Still in Shujiabao?
Upon hearing this, Zheng Que was somewhat surprised, and then quickly thought of the "yin house" that Luo Fuyu had mentioned earlier.

This Shu Family Fortress might now be a tomb...

Zheng Que nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way."

Kulan immediately and obediently replied, "Yes, young master."

As she spoke, she led Zheng Que outside, through a main hall, and out the door to a spacious corridor. One side of the corridor had doors and windows, while the other side was like a cliff, overlooking the square where their residence was located.

However, the "strangeness" that originally existed in the square has now completely disappeared, and the crimson incense burner on the high platform has also vanished. In its place is a "囍" character screen surrounded by red silk flowers of various sizes.

The houses built into the mountainside used to have an oil lamp at the door of every household, but now they have all been replaced by big red lanterns, and the doors and windows are covered with huge "囍" characters.

A crimson carpet was laid out on the ground, and the bright red light and shadow intertwined, dyeing the entire mountainside into a bright and dazzling color, like a floating sea of ​​blood.

At first glance, this living quarters seemed to be completely immersed in great joy, its splendor and celebration reaching their fullest extent.

But upon closer inspection, the large red lanterns resembled blood-red pupils, staring intently at Zheng Que, exuding an indescribable strangeness.

In the vision of the [Spiritual Eye Technique], each of these houses was filled with yin energy, constantly emitting wisps of black mist. All the black mist churned and floated into the air, gathering into an ominous dark cloud at the top of the mountain, covering the square like a lid.

Looking through the doors and windows of the house, it seemed to be filled with a pool of black well water, with a heavy, bone-chilling cold, as if many ghosts were hiding inside.

Zheng Que withdrew his gaze, understanding dawning on him. Shu Family Fort had been taken over by the ghost bride. The ghosts now residing in this place were mostly not the original ghosts of Shu Family Fort, but rather the ghost bride and her retinue...

Now that Kulan has taken her away, the Ghost Bride must have already noticed.

However, due to the underworld, the ghost bride clearly did not intend to stop him.

Thinking this, Zheng Que followed Ku Lan down the mountainside, through the empty square, and into the passageway.

The passageway was just as empty and cramped as before, covered with moss, and apart from the increased yin energy, there was nothing special about it.

Tap, tap, tap... Zheng Que and Ku Lan walked for a while without encountering a single ghost. Soon, a doorway appeared ahead, and the exit was in sight.

A human and a ghost walked out of the doorway with a simple house pattern one after the other and arrived at the small round hall they had seen before.

The place was also brightly decorated and newly adorned. The broken pottery shards from the [Yin Vessel] on the ground had been swept away, and the sand and gravel that had collapsed during the previous battle had also been cleaned up. A large red felt carpet had been laid out.

The soul-summoning banner, topped with a skull and covered with a black banner, remained diagonally inserted in its original place. The banner moved automatically without wind, swirling in the air like flowing water.

The moment Zheng Que saw the soul-summoning banner, his vision suddenly changed, and he found himself in a dilapidated palace. On the mottled long table in front of him was the open Book of Life and Death, and next to it was the newly acquired gavel.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Zheng Que's expression stiffened slightly. He immediately realized that his cultivation level was too low, and his soul would be drawn out as soon as he got close to the Soul-Summoning Banner!

"Ku Lan was a bit slow this time; she didn't hold up an umbrella for me right away..."

"However, the location of the Soul-Summoning Banner hasn't changed, so Qing Li must still be inside it."

"I just wonder, what's Niannu and Shu Yunying's situation now... um..."

As Zheng Que was thinking, he suddenly felt a tingling, electric-like sensation that instantly spread throughout his body.

After a brief moment of distraction, he immediately realized that this withered orchid had taken the opportunity to attack his physical body again!

Zheng Que instantly understood why Ku Lan hadn't held an umbrella for him this time; she didn't dare to touch him in front of him, only daring to do so while he was unconscious.

Therefore, the other party did this on purpose; this was exactly the moment they were waiting for!
※※※

Shujiabao, Small Round Hall.

The banner for summoning the soul was stuck diagonally in the ground, its surface billowing like clouds.

Ku Lan stood respectfully beside Zheng Que, but as soon as Zheng Que's body approached the soul-summoning banner, he suddenly became motionless, and his soul seemed to vanish into thin air.

Ku Lan was not surprised by this situation. She immediately reached out to support Zheng Que's body as he was about to fall, and helped him back to his living quarters.

At this moment, perhaps because Zheng Que was seen, Qing Li's arrogant voice immediately came from the Soul-Summoning Banner: "You little slut, what are you doing with this human brat?"

As they spoke, a chilling gust of wind blew out from the banner, heading straight for the withered orchid.

Ku Lan ignored Qing Li's meaning and immediately sped up, rushing into the doorway marked with the simple brushstrokes of a house.

The next moment, the Soul Wind howled and rushed towards the door, as if it had hit some kind of impenetrable wall, and came to an abrupt stop, unable to advance an inch.

Qingli within the summoning banner was instantly enraged, and then vigorously stirred up gusts of chilling soul wind, all heading in the direction where Kulan had left.

woohoo hoo...

A sudden gust of wind swept through the small round hall, causing the numerous red silks and silk flowers to flutter and sway precariously. However, no matter how the soul wind raged within the small round hall, it was completely blocked by the barrier raised by the array whenever it touched the entrance to the passageway...

Soon, the noise in the passageway quickly disappeared.

Kulan, carrying Zheng Que's physical body, has already gone far away.
