Chapter 77 Landlord
The enslaved ghost led the four to a magnificent courtyard house. This house was far more exquisite and spacious than the dilapidated mud houses in the village, with blue brick walls and towering wooden beams, making it particularly eye-catching in this eerie village, befitting the only landlord in the area.
However, it did not take the four people inside, but continued along the path outside the courtyard. Before long, a bustling construction site appeared in front of them.
There are already more than a dozen mud houses behind the construction site, and the mud walls of the mud houses are now half-built, with several field ghosts dressed in coarse cloth standing on the mud walls.
Tian Gui, the wronged spirits of people who drowned or died from exhaustion in paddy fields, wanders along the field ridges at night, hooking people's feet, causing them to be trapped in a ghostly maze, or howling during the rice planting season.
These field ghosts were all villagers who had been invited by the landlord to work in the earthen mortar.
"You must finish building this mud house today, do you understand?"
The words of enslaving the ghosts were not only spoken to the ghosts on the wall, but also a warning to Gu Ye and his companions.
"Alright, you can get to work now."
"Alright, get to work! No slacking off!"
It glared fiercely at everyone before turning and leaving the construction site.
As soon as the enslaved ghost disappeared at the intersection, the several field ghosts on the wall instantly changed their expressions, turning their heads to look at Gu Ye and his group of four, their turbid eyes flashing with greedy and bloodthirsty light.
"Such fresh and tender flesh..."
"Let's just slaughter it and have it as an extra meal; I haven't had any meat for days."
"These people were hired helpers by that scoundrel. If we kill them rashly, it will be difficult to explain."
"Hmph, they're lucky..."
Gu Ye was speechless. Was it really appropriate to discuss how to eat them so loudly in front of them?
With a quick glance, he could tell that these field monsters were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Bronze rank, and a series of question marks couldn't help but pop into his mind.
With such limited strength, who gave them the courage?
The other two also looked annoyed, but neither of them intended to make a move.
The other two candidates also had dark faces and twitching lips, but they were wary of the village rules and dared not make a move.
At this moment, one of the field monsters, seeing the four people standing still, flew into a rage and shouted angrily:
"What are you four standing there for! Looking for death? If you really want to die, you'd better die by our hands, at least we'll give you a quick death!"
Tian Gui licked his lips, his gaze sweeping greedily over the group, and the others joined in the laughter.
"court death!"
Luo Yueyao stepped forward, her aura suddenly darkening, and a chilling pressure swept out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire earthen wall.
"Kneel down!"
A soft rebuke, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Tian Gui's heart sank suddenly, as if he had been pressed down hard by an invisible hand. His limbs went limp uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees one after another with a "thump, thump". His eyes were filled with extreme fear when he looked at Luo Yue Rao, and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Gu Ye was also slightly surprised.
This was the first time he had seen Luo Yueyao so assertive and fierce.
The two people beside them changed their expressions drastically after feeling Luo Yuerao's pressure, and subconsciously took two steps back to distance themselves from the two of them, while Gu Ye felt nothing at all.
Only Gu Ye stood still, his expression unchanged, as if the oppressive aura did not exist at all.
"Forget it, it's not too late to kill them after we figure out the landlords' strength."
Gu Ye stepped forward and gently pressed Luo Yuerao's arm.
Luo Yueyao withdrew her aura and glanced indifferently at the Tian Guis:
"Then I'll spare your lives."
The charlatans were terrified and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank you, heroine, for sparing my life!"
"Get to work!"
Gu Ye waved his hand, and the group of Tian Gui felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly grabbed wooden pestles and stone rammers and buried themselves in their work, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Gu Ye turned to look at Luo Yuerao and said with a smile, "Let's start too, so we don't have to worry about the landlord coming later."
Luo Yueyao nodded slightly, and the two of them picked up the ramming tools from the ground, climbed up another earthen wall, and, imitating Tian Gui, filled the board with soil mixed with weeds, tamping it down heavily, one pound after another.
Seeing that no fight had broken out, the other two looked at Gu Ye and Luo Yuerao with a hint of fear in their eyes. Although they knew that fighting was not allowed in the village, Luo Yuerao's aura was too intimidating, and they were psychologically afraid.
The two agreed to take their tools, climb to another wall, and begin ramming the earth.
Time passed slowly, and the earthen walls were nearing completion, but the landlord still hadn't shown up.
Luo Yueyao leaned close to Gu Ye's ear, breathed softly, and whispered, "Do you think the landlord will come today?"
"Definitely." Gu Ye said with certainty, "This house is his property, and he will definitely inspect the quality himself. He can't just leave it unattended."
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure slowly walked out from the end of the path.
The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, wrapped in silk, and was fat and bloated, forming a stark contrast with Tian Gui, who was dressed in tattered clothes at the construction site.
He was the local landlord.
The group immediately fell silent and stopped what they were doing.
The landlord, his fat face beaming, circled the earthen wall twice, nodding repeatedly: "Haha, well done, you all deserve a reward!"
Amidst the puzzled gazes of Gu Ye and the others, he gently clapped his chubby hand.
A dark rift suddenly opened in the void behind him, and a group of exquisitely dressed maids filed out carrying huge wooden platters. The "food" on the platters sent a chill down one's spine—
There were blood-soaked, meticulously dissected organs; there was trembling, soft flesh resembling a human brain; and there were round, slightly pulsating dark red spheres.
Gu Ye and the other three's expressions changed slightly, and they felt a wave of discomfort. Luo Yuerao frowned slightly, suppressing the churning in her stomach. This was the first time she had ever seen such a bizarre and terrifying "reward".
But the field ghosts on the wall suddenly lit up, trembling with excitement, and kept wiping the drool from the corners of their mouths.
"Ten days! Dinner's finally here! And it's still so lavish!" "Just the smell is irresistible!"
One of the field ghosts nervously turned to look at Gu Ye and the others, its face contorted with a mournful expression:
"They...they won't try to steal it from us, will they? We can't beat them..."
The rest of Tian Gui also tensed up instantly, cautiously glancing at Gu Ye and the other three.
At this moment, Gu Ye was quietly observing the landlord below. He was a big, burly man, but his aura was very deep.
With Liu Xie not on his person, Gu Ye couldn't discern the landlord's cultivation level, so he diverted a sliver of his attention into his sea of consciousness.
"Night Phoenix, can you tell what realm the landlord in front of you is?"
"Don't bother her with such trivial matters, or she might give you a hard time again." Liu Xie's cautious voice immediately echoed in Gu Ye's mind.
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xie let out a miserable scream, and Gu Ye's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Only after Liu Xie kept begging for mercy did Ye Xihuang finally let him go.
"Serves you right for being a jerk!" Gu Ye teased.
"Hehe~~ What do you know? This is called strengthening muscles and bones."
"Don't hesitate, let Master Liu take a look at you first."
Gu Ye shared his view with Liu Xie, who finished observing in just a few seconds.
