Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Xiang Shaoyu didn't know what the Mo Family Ghost Village was, so he asked the guide in front of him, "Is this place very secluded?"

The guide sensed that Xiang Shaoyu wasn't very familiar with the area, so he gave Xiang Shaoyu a basic introduction to the Mo Family Ghost Village.

"Don't worry, if outsiders try to barge in, they definitely won't be able to leave. Generally speaking, outsiders can't get in because the security is tight and the location is very advantageous."

As Xiang Shaoyu listened to the guide's introduction, he observed the surrounding environment. Indeed, the area was surrounded by towering peaks, and the Mo Family Ghost Village was hidden among them. It must be said that the geographical environment here was excellent, suitable for health preservation and undisturbed by the outside world.

The leader then explained to Xiang Shaoyu that they could live here with peace of mind, without worrying about being hunted down by the King of Qin's men. Moreover, this place contained the rich cultural wisdom of the Mohists, making it the last stronghold of the anti-Qin forces.

The lord listened from behind, as if this sentence was the key point. So, the Mo family saved him because they genuinely wanted to help him. The lord of the Xiang family was very grateful.

Chapter 1026 The Ancient Forbidden Land

Upon entering the ghost village, I instantly understood the origin of its name. The desolate landscape perfectly matched the village's name.

Occasionally, a few disheveled women dressed in white walked by, along with some almost naked men with ferocious faces, all muttering, "Why won't you save us? Give me medicine!"

"Those who murder for money deserve a terrible death." Everyone pretended not to see the person who suddenly entered. Apart from the Mo family, everyone else looked puzzled.

Suddenly, a few crows flew by, their hoarse cries sounding terrifying against the backdrop of the ghost village.

As the group was secretly observing, Duanmu Rong's voice suddenly rang out: "Follow me, or don't blame me if I take your lives."

Everyone already knew Duanmu Rong was feisty, so they didn't take her tone to heart.

Hearing her speak, Jing Tianming couldn't help but ask, "Why is this place so desolate?"

Duanmu Rong glanced at him and said coldly, "This place was originally a village with a large population and a secluded environment, almost undisturbed by outsiders. However, a plague broke out in the village, and this place was already remote."

"In addition, the local government embezzled the funds allocated from above and left the villagers to fend for themselves. In the end, the entire village was either dead or injured, and only a few who moved quickly survived and now live elsewhere."

"Then why are these people acting like ghosts here?" "They even walk with some order," but Tianming only thought about this to himself and didn't ask it out loud.

After all, the system had already warned him not to ask too many questions, as too much talk would lead to mistakes. He wanted to ask but couldn't, which made Tianming so angry he wanted to punch him. However, although he was a little unconvinced, he swallowed his anger in the end.

"People are nostalgic. If we don't do this, the villagers will come back sooner or later. This way, we can not only keep the villagers away, but also deter other people from coming. Moreover, we not only play tricks, but also set up many traps and formations in the village. People who dare to trespass into the ghost village will hardly survive."

At this point, Duanmu Rong's tone seemed somewhat arrogant, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that the Mo family's mechanical arts were famous throughout the country.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what was going on, and they followed even more closely, afraid of being left behind or stepping on the wrong step. After all, this was a trap set by the Mo family, and if the trap was triggered, even the Heavenly King himself might not be able to save them.

But at this moment, only Dong Guozhi was secretly lost in thought, not afraid of making a mistake at all, thinking to himself, "Mu Rong is so good, even at a time like this, she is still explaining the ghost village to that young boy."

Thinking of this, his affection for Duanmu Rong grew even stronger. At this moment, Duanmu Rong, who was walking at the front, was unaware that she had been remembered again.

Along the way, everyone was thinking about what to do next. This time they might be wanted nationwide, which was no joke. Before they knew it, the group arrived at a somewhat dilapidated attic. Although it was called dilapidated, Tianming thought it looked more like it was artificially aged. There were also far fewer people pretending to be ghosts around it than at the entrance.

Upon entering the attic, apart from the main hall, the entire first floor was filled with books, making it seem somewhat empty. However, in the eyes of the bookworm Jing Tianming, this was simply paradise on earth. Tianming first glanced around and discovered that many of them were the Mo family's traditional martial arts techniques that he had heard of.

Duanmu Rong noticed that he was staring at her, and couldn't help but boast, "These are all family heirlooms of the Mo family, which outsiders can't usually see, and there are also..."

Chapter 1027 Strange Phenomena Occur Frequently

“Young people are so great. Look at Tianming, he carried Gai Nie all the way without showing any signs of fatigue.” Dong Guozhi suddenly interrupted her, as if he was covering something up.

Duanmu Rong seemed to realize she had said something wrong, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I've forgotten about Brother Gai Nie. Someone, quickly take Brother Gai away to rest and receive treatment." She also instructed the servants to notify her if there were any changes.

Although Jing Tianming was inexperienced, he naturally understood what they meant when he heard them say that. He quickly handed Gai Nie over to a servant, pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and found a seat in the main hall. After everyone sat down, they all fell silent.

Although Dong Guozhi felt a little embarrassed, he still spoke first to show hospitality: "What are you all planning to do next? There may have been a trap set up outside, just waiting for us to leave the village."

Xiang Shaoyu asked, "Can Ghost Village guarantee it won't be discovered? What if it is discovered?"

Duanmu Rong continued, "We won't be discovered. This is our Mo Family Ghost Village. The only way in and out is by water. It's not only remote and hard to find, but it's also easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are countless traps here, so no one can get out."

"Don't worry, this is the culmination of the wisdom of several generations of master mechanics masters of the Mo family. Back when the Mo family was being hunted down, our disciples hid here from Ying Zheng's pursuit."

If the Mohists are wiped out, this place can be considered their last refuge. Also, please keep the Mohists' secret and never tell anyone.” With that, Dongguo Zhi stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly stood up to return the greeting, saying politely, "Not at all, Master Mo, you are too kind. We should be thanking the Mo family for providing us with this hiding place. Please rest assured, we will definitely keep the Mo family's secret and will never tell anyone."

At this moment, while being polite to everyone, Jing Tianming took the opportunity to ask the system what to do. Tianming told the system: First, make sure the Mo family heals Gai Nie. After Gai Nie wakes up, we can discuss countermeasures together. Before that, we should hide in the Ghost Village and discuss countermeasures after Gai Nie wakes up. For now, we should avoid the limelight.

The system considered whether this method was feasible and decided it was. After all, Gai Nie was the one most familiar with the King of Qin, and now that he had been exposed, he could certainly provide a better countermeasure.

After Jing Tianming proposed this idea, everyone thought it was a good idea. After all, they were already at their wits' end and could only hide in the ghost village for a while. Once they had figured out their escape route, everyone relaxed.

Jing Tianming couldn't resist asking in a low voice if he could look around and read the books of the Mohist school. After receiving permission, everyone dispersed to find books to read.

While everyone was touring around, Zhang Liang returned. Seeing that both the Xiang and Mo families were present, he once again considered brokering a cooperation between the two families. However, the head of the Xiang family simply waved his hand and said nothing.

So Zhang Liang stopped trying to broker the marriage. He simply said that an arrest warrant had been issued and they should stay in Ghost Village to avoid trouble.

Just then, a servant rushed in to report that Gai Nie's injuries had worsened and he had fallen into a coma. Upon hearing this, Jing Tianming immediately put down his book and went to see Gai Nie with Duanmu Rong.

Jing Tianming was extremely worried throughout the journey. He greatly admired Brother Gai and had even planned to become his apprentice. Upon arriving at the room, Duanmu Rong discovered that Gai Nie had a high fever, his body was burning hot, and his face was flushed; his injuries were very serious.

Chapter 1028 Donghuang Taiyi's Scheme

After Jing Tianming, Gai Nie, and the Xiang family followed Dong Guo Zhi, the leader of the Mo family, into the Mo family's Ghost Village, the formation returned to normal, and the group disappeared into the formation, never to be found again.

A chilling wind blew outside the ghost village. From behind a huge rock by the roadside in front of the village, a graceful young woman with a veil slowly emerged. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shao Siming, who had been following Jing Tianming and protecting him, and who was under the command of Donghuang Taiyi!

Seeing that Jing Tianming had entered the Ghost Village with the Mo family, and knowing the power of Zhang Liang's Qimen Dunjia formation, Shao Siming dared not act rashly. She could only write a letter, summon a carrier pigeon, and send a message by carrier pigeon. Watching the carrier pigeon fly away quickly, Shao Siming concealed herself and kept a close eye on the entrance to the Ghost Village.

As Donghuang Taiyi was meditating, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew in through the window and landed steadily on his arm, cooing a few times. Donghuang Taiyi took the letter from the pigeon's leg, unfolded it, and read, "The situation is out of control, requesting support."

Judging from the handwriting, this is the handwriting of Shao Siming, who was sent by Donghuang Taiyi. The fact that Shao Siming also has her name on the letter suggests that something happened to Jing Tianming on Shao Siming's side, and she needs support.

Thinking of Jing Tianming inevitably brings to mind a past event related to him.

Thirteen years ago, one afternoon, with the clear cry of a child, Lady Li Ji—Jing Tianming's biological mother—gave birth to a baby boy. Yes, that baby boy was none other than Jing Tianming.

When the baby boy was born, hundreds of birds sang and hundreds of flowers bloomed, creating a scene of gentle peace and harmony. Everyone marveled at the occasion and felt that this baby boy was destined for greatness.

Jing Tianming's birth was such a grand affair that it naturally attracted the attention of some important figures. Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School was one of them.

On the night of Jing Tianming's birth, the sky was clear and the stars were exceptionally bright. The Yin-Yang master Donghuang Taiyi set up an array to worship the heavens, holding a compass and calculating for a while. In the end, the divination result pointed directly to the brightest and highest star in the sky, the Big Dipper.

This divination was specifically performed for Jing Tianming. Since it points to the Big Dipper, it can be known that the life of this newborn Jing Tianming will shine as brightly as the Big Dipper!

After completing the divination, the Yin-Yang Master Donghuang Taiyi beamed with joy. Indeed, all that fuss just to perform a divination for Jing Tianming was well worth the trip!

The Yin-Yang Master Donghuang Taiyi immediately decided to recruit Jing Tianming for his own use; otherwise, he would rather kill him than let him be used by others!

Jing Tianming was different from ordinary children from birth. Unlike other children who cry and fuss, he was as well-behaved as a little angel. Apart from eating and relieving himself, Jing Tianming would lie in his crib and play by himself, never making a fuss.

Lady Li Ji was extremely weak after giving birth and was worried about how to take care of Jing Tianming. Now, the little darling doesn't need much care from his mother at all; he's incredibly well-behaved.

Every day after Jing Tianming's birth, people came to visit. This was because Lady Liji was known for her gentle nature and wide circle of friends, who, out of affection for her, naturally adored the newborn. They crowded around Lady Liji's house every day. Seeing the well-behaved and adorable baby Jing Tianming, they were even more enamored and wanted to come and play with him every day.

Half a month after Jing Tianming's birth, Lady Li Ji's close friend came to visit the mother and son.

Chapter 1029 Qian Yuan Jade Aura

The lady arrived at the Jing residence and went straight to Lady Liji's courtyard. "Sister Liji, I've arrived. Did you miss your elder sister today?" Her bright and clear voice had already reached the room before she even arrived.

Lady Liji was still lying in bed, having just woken up. Hearing the voice of the visitor, she was about to get up to greet her when the other lady stepped into the room. She helped Lady Liji up, saying, "Oh, oh, oh, don't get up so suddenly. Take it easy. Don't rush. You've only given birth half a month ago and are still in your postpartum period. You need to take good care of yourself! Don't let yourself develop any health problems!"

Lady Liji slowly sat up with her sister's help, a smile on her face. Hearing her sister's words, she smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, sister, I'll take good care of myself. I definitely won't develop any chronic illness!"

Hearing Lady Liji's promise, the lady's expression softened slightly. After Lady Liji was seated, the lady took her hand and complained, "Sister, you're so frail; you shouldn't have taken the risk of getting pregnant with this child. This child is lucky, and you're lucky too, to have given birth to him safely. Otherwise, if anything had happened, who would I have cried to! You never seem to know how to take care of yourself..."

Lady Liji smiled as she watched her chattering sister, her close friend. Since her pregnancy, her sister had constantly worried about her health and frequently brought her tonics. Lady Liji knew that her sister's help was indispensable in ensuring a smooth delivery!

"Alright, alright, I know you care about me, sister. After talking for so long, are you thirsty?" Lady Liji teased.

The lady gave Lady Liji a reproachful look, then went to the table and poured two glasses of water, giving one to Lady Liji. Lady Liji, holding the teacup, said, "Sister, we've been chatting for so long, and you still haven't seen your nephew! Go and see him!"

The lady seemed to have just remembered something, and clapped her hands. "Oh right, I haven't seen your child yet! Where is he? Why haven't I heard him crying?"

Lady Liji said with a hint of helplessness, "He's in the cradle on your right..."

Lady Liji's sister was a little embarrassed. She turned to look at the baby boy and said with delight, "Well, luckily he's quite cute..." As she spoke, she began to tease the baby boy.

The two of them started chatting around the boy.

Time flies, and Jing Tianming's full moon celebration was just around the corner.

That day, many people came to the mansion, from all walks of life, from noble families to merchants and vendors, demonstrating the wide circle of connections the Jing family had! Of course, the Yin-Yang Master Donghuang Taiyi also personally came to the mansion. Donghuang Taiyi enjoyed a good reputation among the people.

At noon, after Jing Tianming's first birthday celebration, Donghuang Taiyi, at the invitation of Jing's father, offered blessings for Jing Tianming. After the sacrificial offerings were arranged, Donghuang Taiyi solemnly began the ritual.

After a series of movements, he smoothly and effortlessly drew a peace talisman. While everyone was not paying attention, he secretly cast the "Qian Yuan Jade Evil" spell on Jing Tianming.

The Yin-Yang Master Donghuang Taiyi gave the peace talisman to Lady Liji, instructing her to give it to Jing Tianming to carry with him so that he could be kept safe.

After the ritual was completed, everyone moved to the front hall to attend the banquet. Lady Li Ji immediately placed the amulet inside Jing Tianming's inner garment. The group toasted each other.

Chapter 1030 The Leader of the Quicksand! Wei Zhuang

Thinking about these things, Donghuang Taiyi stared out the window for a while, then turned and sat down at his desk. He meditated for a while longer.

After a while, as if remembering Shao Siming's plea for help, he ordered his servants to summon Da Siming.

A knocking sound came from outside the door, followed by the voice of the Great Master of Fate.

"Master, your subordinate has arrived."
