Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 347 Xu Xuan Presents a Treasure
Whether the other party believes it or not is not important; the principle is that you cannot tell the truth to the enemy.

The ghost soldiers behind Zhang San were also uneasy; it seemed their leader had offended something dangerous.

The smarter ones began to retreat quietly, preparing to send someone to rescue them.

Xu Xuan naturally wouldn't let these ghosts ruin this wonderful reunion, after all, he wasn't a good person.

Then, the holy monk in black robes and a red lotus crown swept past Zhang San like a phantom and entered the ranks of the ghost soldiers, tearing all the little ghosts into pieces as if they were paper.

With a flick of his sleeve, a wisp of karmic fire was unleashed, and in the blink of an eye, the soul vanished.

The methods were ruthless, cruel, and efficient.

Zhang San's last bit of stubbornness was also broken, and he knelt down on the ground.

After finishing the task, Xu Xuan smiled at his old friend.

"Could you tell me how to win the Ghost General's favor?"

My instincts told me this might be a breakthrough.

Less than fifteen minutes later in the alley, the Justice Squad learned of this guy's plans and methods.

It turns out that one of Lord Heishan's hobbies was to marry, and every once in a while he would marry a woman with a special birth date to practice his cultivation.

Imitating a wedding in the mortal world is merely a ritual of sacrifice.

It is said that the Tree Demon Granny originally found a female ghost who met the criteria, but Lanruo Temple had already been destroyed, and the master kept silent about the matter.

In reality, people still gossip about things that aren't very pleasant in private.

For example, Lord Black Mountain was driven back twice when he went to the mortal world. The last time, he was even cut in the middle by a Confucian swordsman in the mortal world. Even worse, some ghosts heard him use extremely insulting terms like "Black Mountain loser".

Although the generals under his command dared not go to the mortal world to avenge their superior, they were still determined to find another woman to help their leader solve his problems.

That's why the story of Zhang San pursuing Zhu Yingtai came about.

Xu Xuan's fate in Heishan is bad, it's not my fault.

Moreover, Xiaoqian was directly sent into reincarnation by Guangliang this time, so she didn't even have a chance to intercept him.

The story of A Chinese Ghost Story has come to an end.

As for the Ghost General's recent desire for divine weapons, it's purely for self-preservation.

The City of the Wrongfully Dead has been very unsettled for the past year or so, as a monk from the mortal realm has broken in.

Every month or two, they would come out to cause trouble for the Black Mountain forces, and once a war broke out, it would be a disaster for ordinary soldiers.

Their role was to serve as cannon fodder to deplete the monk's magical power. Each time, they surged forward like a tide, only to be blasted into dust by the golden light.

Each advance and retreat resulted in at least hundreds or thousands being reduced to dust.

Zhang San's rapid rise to centurion was partly due to the shortage of soldiers in the Black Mountain Army.

Senior Brother Xu Xuan is still too fierce.

However, the fact that it only happens once every month or so is a time span that is not very friendly to Zhu Yingtai.

Xu had a bold idea.

"Zhang San, could you do me a favor?"

Naturally, he was unwilling; he wished that this wicked scholar would fall into the eighteenth level of hell.

No, perhaps we could pretend to agree, and that way we could push this man into the abyss.

I, Zhang San, still have a chance.

His heart began to chuckle again, but to the White Lotus Dharma Image, those uncontrollable thoughts were as clear as lines on the palm of his hand.

Immersed in the conspiracy, Third Master did not notice that Xu Xuan had his two companions temporarily leave the alley. It was only when the two of them were left that they realized something was wrong.

He immediately switched to a smiling face, like a good person.

"I'm willing to help you, really."

"The Black Mountain Army is full of evil spirits, and the Black Mountain Demon is no good either."

"Lord Xu Xiu, let's work together. We'll do anything in the City of the Wrongfully Dead."

"I'm still useful."

Xu Xuan calmly replied that he knew everything she was saying, but that made it somewhat unfair to hold a grudge against her.

Hands form a lotus mudra, the white mark floating in mid-air.

"Our grudges in the mortal world have been settled, and I thought that our karma had been severed."

Who would have thought you would still harbor resentment?

"That's not right."

"If you don't die, I won't be at peace." No amount of fawning could stop what was about to happen.

You've become a centurion in just two years; imagine what would happen if you gave him another two years.

Let me just make up for this little oversight.

Extend your palm, and a radiant light will emanate from it.

Confucius said: "Eliminate evil completely."

In Zhang San's eyes, the world began to blur, and a sense of peace, tranquility, and home enveloped his relentless resentment and anger.

Hands unconsciously clasped together, kneeling in devout worship.

Yes, Father.

When Zhu Yingtai and Zhang Hua returned, they saw the ghost leader standing there, seemingly unchanged.

He still had that arrogant expression and that disgusting aura, but for some reason, he was obedient.

"Ahem, Zhang San has already abandoned darkness and embraced the light."

"I have a little plan that should make my senior brother notice the changes here."

fifth day.

Centurion Zhang, who had been missing for some time, brought back three ghosts who wanted to see the Ghost General.

Relying on his accumulated connections and his shrewdness in managing relationships with superiors and subordinates, he actually succeeded in entering the military.

With a ghost acting as a guide, the journey became much smoother.

Xu Xuan looked at the restrictions along the way and the malevolent aura of the Yin soldiers' formation and began to make his own assessment.

It seems that the Black Mountain Army is not entirely composed of people like Zhang San; there are quite a few powerful and monstrous figures among them.

Without my senior's strength, I'll have to outsmart him.

If the four ghosts were to formally pay their respects at the entrance of the General's Mansion, they would have to reveal the real reason.

"This humble servant has come to present this treasure."

Jiao Guiying found the messenger's words somewhat amusing. Although she didn't know who Zhang San was, he must have some guts to come and present the treasure, even though he was above his rank.

Let's meet him then. Hopefully, he's not some kind of being from the Cold Iron or Yin Wood faction.

As for safety?

There is no such thing in the Black Mountain Army; ghosts can never control their temper.

She was able to secure her position as general because of her strength.

Then, Centurion Zhang walked in with three strange ghosts.

A female ghost in a wedding dress, a dazed scholar ghost, and a ghost with a strange aura wearing a black robe.

Zhang San continued to bow and flatter as before, but Jiao Guiying was getting impatient.

"These three ghosts are the treasure?"

Having arrived here, Zhang San's historical mission is complete.

Xu Xuan began to take control of the situation.

The moment he put his hands together in a Buddhist gesture of respect, the ghost generals and soldiers in the hall became somewhat agitated.

Some ghosts even drew their weapons directly, the sound of weapons being drawn was rather jarring.

Even the Ghost General was unsteady on his feet, his eyes filled with terror.

what?
Xu Xuan seemed to have overestimated the opponent's courage. It seems that his senior brother has already broken the ghosts' courage.

He immediately released his hand, indicating that he was not a proper monk and that everyone should not misunderstand.

"Kinnara of the Pure Land Demon Sect greets you all."

"He died at the hands of a Buddhist monk and harbored resentment in his heart."

"Isn't coming to the City of the Wrongfully Dead a perfectly normal thing?"

"As for offering the treasure, I'm still unwilling to do so."

"It is said that those who perform meritorious service in the Black Mountain Army can return to the mortal realm to seek revenge. Is that true?"

The persona is simple; as for how to gain trust...

When the overwhelming karmic force was revealed, everyone felt that such a ghostly city of the dead was a waste of its potential.
