Chapter 198: Outer branches-
Ghost market.
“I don’t know what kind of trouble Brother Wei and your master have encountered because their spiritual consciousness has been out of the body for so long. If I can do anything, please ask Yu Hengjun for advice. He Ran is determined to go through fire and water, even if he dies!”
Beside the water channel near Cave 7, Ding Heran stood behind Zhuang Yuheng with his head bowed, guarding Song Weichen's body anxiously.
She had lost her consciousness for several hours, and she didn’t know how to wake up. In addition, when she was kidnapped by the chaotic soul and sent away through the mountain, it was his fault in protecting her. Ding Heran couldn’t help but blame himself. .
"Wei Wei and Ting Feng are auspicious, you don't have to worry too much."
Zhuang Yuheng patted Ding Heran on the shoulder comfortingly, but in fact he was even more anxious inside.
Obviously a few hours ago, the two of them were joking in the room of the farm inn next to him. How come in a blink of an eye, one lost his consciousness in the ghost market and the other lost his consciousness in Pingyang? What a mess. What kind of monster is this that has such power?
Currently, Mo Tingfeng is not here. Due to the excessive commotion of fighting Luan Po and looking for something to break the formation, the news of the Sichen Mansion's Grudge Breaker entering the ghost market begins to spread. How could the four major masters just stand idly by? , the eyes and thugs of the ghost market near Qidong are already everywhere, waiting for opportunities.
There are many people on the other side and they are on their territory. If they really fight fiercely, the Grudge Breaker may not have an advantage, and it will also delay the handling of the case. Therefore, Ding Heran and Ye Wujiu need to concentrate on dealing with it at this time. Zhuang Yuheng will definitely not increase Ding Heran's psychological burden at this time.
So only he knew that there was something wrong with Song Weichen's body! .
Zhuang Yuheng would diagnose Song Weichen's pulse almost every half a stick of incense. Due to the fact that people with separated spiritual consciousness cannot touch it - if the body is contaminated with the anger of others during this period, it is very likely that it will not be able to return. soul. Therefore, he could only place a specially refined and strengthened silk of a big-bellied garden spider on Song Weichen's wrist, and use the hanging silk method to diagnose her pulse to detect whether her physical signs were normal.
Different from the previous times, this time Zhuang Yuheng noticed something was wrong as soon as he took a pulse. Song Weichen's heartbeat was very fast and slow. It was not a sign that he was about to wake up. It seemed like his consciousness had encountered an obstacle. , there is a danger of being separated from the main body.
He quickly took out the soothing herbs and formed a circle around her. He also used agarwood, borneol and sandalwood mixed as a fuse to ignite them. This method could protect the connection between her consciousness and her body. The "umbilical cord" continues, and there is only so much Zhuang Yuheng can do now.
He was panicking in his heart, but he forced himself to remain calm. He only told Ding Heran that Song Weichen was fine. He used herbal medicine to help her in the hope that she would regain consciousness as soon as possible.
Calculating the time, Ruan Mianmian was almost arriving in Pingyang. He, his cousin, was supposed to pick him up in person, but Song Weichen's situation changed and he couldn't leave anyway, so he had to ask Ding Heran to pick him up.
“It’s really not safe around here now, so I won’t bring Miss Mianmian here. There are many customers in the distribution center near the second and third holes. People in the ghost market don’t dare to do anything even if they want to. We are there How are you doing?" They are all officials and nobles, so Ding Heran didn't dare to be careless.
"Very good! You are as considerate as hair, and I feel relieved to leave Mianmian to you. Just take her with you, and I will go find you later."
Ding Heran nodded in agreement, He told the remaining people to arrange their official duties and left.
.
Outside Pingyang, Ye Wujiu was leading three resentment-breakers to guard the body of Mo Tingfeng, who had also lost his spiritual consciousness.
At that time, Ye Wujiu led a team of grudge breakers to chase after Mo Tingfeng. As soon as he left Pingyang, he saw the open soul-stealing barrier and knew that Luan Po had been trapped. live! Just as he was about to help, he saw a bright light coming from the sky, and the top of the barrier instantly broke. Something flashed through the crack, and the entire soul-locking barrier disappeared in an instant.
They found Mo Tingfeng sitting cross-legged in a clearing in the woods - like Song Weichen, his consciousness was out of body, and his whole body was gray-white.
Fortunately, spells can be cast here, so Ye Wujiu set up a thunder barrier to protect Mo Tingfeng's body. Zhuang Yuheng came to see them three times after that, but nothing serious happened. Ye Wujiu left only three people, and sent the rest back to the ghost market to be deployed by Ding Heran. The environment there was a hundred times more complicated than here.
Ye Wu Jiu was on guard when a Grudge Breaker came to report and intercepted a directional message to Magpies outside the ghost market. There was only one word on it: Escape!
Thanks to the collection of her blood during Magpie's interrogation in the side hall of Sikong Mansion, the Grudge Breaker was very sure that this directed message was sent to Magpie. However, the messenger deliberately concealed his message, and could not identify who sent it from where. He could only roughly determine the scope - this message came from the upper world.
What kind of power is hidden behind her, so that she can stir up the upper world to get involved?
“You really underestimated her!” Ye Wujiu used his fingertips, and the directional message dissipated like blue smoke.
"Lead a team to seal off the entire territory of Binh Duong! Keep an eye on everyone who comes out of the ghost market, regardless of gender, age or child. She will use potions to change her appearance, and only use her blood as the only criterion for tracking. , we must not let her escape again this time, remember to capture her alive.”
.
Ye Wujiu never expected that the magpie had no intention of escaping.
She was drinking the transformation potion at the moment, transforming into a handsome young man in his twenties, wearing a customer-branded mask and wandering around the vendor distribution area between the second and third holes of the ghost market.
That targeted message was "deliberately" intercepted by the Grudge Breaker - it was basically a message she sent to herself.
However, she begged Lord Jinxian for a long time and paid three "little yellow croakers" as a price before he agreed to use the power of An Ge to help her and send her this message from the upper world.
The magpie really wants to receive targeted messages from others - those messages sent to Mr. Qin Xiaohou are without exception, and the man in black is still lingering in the ghost market looking for her all day long. The signs were all clear, she was completely released by Qin Xiaohou.
Even if she risked her life and decided to assassinate the two heads of Si Chen and Sikong on his behalf, it would still not bring her a way out, and it would not arouse the slightest pity from Mr. Qin Xiaohou.
In other words, he didn't believe she could do it at all, so he didn't bother to pay attention. If he did respond to her, he would lie down once the trace was exposed.
But in fact - Magpie judged that Qin Xiaohou wanted her to take action based on her years of understanding of him. Therefore, although the mysterious man is still in the ghost market, he seems to be taking advantage of the situation and is not seriously pursuing her. He may have secretly received instructions from Mr. Qin Xiaohou.
Yes! That must be it!
The magpie twitched the corners of his mouth, his heart full of ridicule. Aren’t big men like them always like this? You want it, you want it, you want it!
In this case, she can only rely on herself and take advantage of the chaos caused by the ghost husband case to take risks and make a last ditch effort!
If it succeeds, she will now have the capital to truly negotiate a deal with An Ge. Even if Qin Che still wants to get rid of her, he may have to hold back. If it doesn't succeed... the magpie laughs sadly at himself. Death is not a relief.
Every day of her life was full of purpose and calculation, just for those two people - because of this, she felt even more miserable, and she devoted all her efforts to serve them. The two people she passed wanted her dead.
So, what is she living for in this life?
Although he has lived so hard, he has turned himself into a human being and a ghost, and has become a thorn in the hearts of those who have served him wholeheartedly.
"Since it is impossible to experience love in this life, then let me turn into a ghost and hate it enough!" Magpie gritted his teeth.
.
I was distracted, and there were many customers in the small vendor distribution center. The magpie accidentally stepped on someone else's shoe. It didn't take much force, but just lightly stepped on the edge of the shoe. If it hadn't been for the other person, She cried out in pain, and she didn't even notice it.
“Oh, it hurts so much, I got stepped on.”
A familiar voice came, and Magpie froze in place, filled with disbelief. How could she come? !
"Your Majesty, please don't move and let me see if you are injured."
Another familiar voice came into my ears. It was clearly Ding Heran from Sichen Mansion. He glanced at it with magpie eyes and saw Seeing him hurriedly leaning down to check Ruan Mianmian's "injury", I really cared about it.
Magpie was glad that she was now a handsome young man. Others didn't understand. She didn't understand her former master's temperament, so she immediately came up with a plan.
“The girl’s voice is as graceful as an oriole, and her charm is graceful. I forgive you for being reckless and disturbing the beauty of the immortal family who descended to earth.”
The young man who had transformed into a magpie apologized loudly to Ruan Mianmian. He said it was an apology. A pair of heroic eyes teased her through the guest mask, which made Ruan Mianmian feel his face heat up.
She observed the husband in front of her carefully. He was dressed in an elegant brocade robe, with an impressive figure and an aloof temperament. He must be a noble son from some family, and he could be flirting with... and chatting with him.
"It doesn't hurt so much anymore. Don't take it to heart, young master. It looks like a pampered person."
"Don't blame me for being abrupt. This girl is so beautiful that she should be held in the heart. It’s better to pamper him every day.”
“Ah, how can the young master be so... so embarrassing”
Ruan Mianmian pretended to leave, but pretended to have pain in her feet and dragged her legs slightly on purpose.
The "young man" stepped forward to help him. Ding Heran wanted to stop him for safety reasons, but he saw Ruan Mianmian taking advantage of the situation and leaning on the young man. Even though he was wearing a mask, it was not difficult. Guessing her expression at the moment, he remained silent and just followed her.
To be honest, Ding Heran was even subconsciously grateful for the appearance of this young man, so that he did not have to be alone with Ruan Mianmian for too long. The feeling... was really annoying.
“I wonder if the beauty of the Fairy Family came here for a novelty, or for treasure hunting? I am not a frequent visitor, but I have just stolen here a few times to avoid my father. If the girl wants anything, I will definitely give it my best. He just wanted to apologize to the girl for his recklessness.” He deliberately "spread the word" to make Ruan Mianmian relax his vigilance.
Ruan Mianmian took the bait, with a smile on her lips. She didn't expect that she could catch a big fish from the upper world during a trip to the ghost market. "Father", if not the prince of the upper realm, who would dare to use such an honorific? There are people in Meijie who can use this honorific for their father, such as Qin Xueying, the eldest daughter of Qin Huan, the realm leader, and Qin Xiaohou, For example, her cousin Zhuang Yuheng. However, she was familiar with these people and had never seen such an impressive young man.
I couldn't help but move closer to the young man. I wanted to gain favor with him, but I also didn't want the handsome young man to misunderstand that she was an ordinary woman who wandered around these right and wrong places, so she said that she was not asking for anything, but that she was here. To find someone.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the girl with her immortal appearance would have acquaintances in a place like the ghost market?"
"Young master misunderstood. To be honest, the house has lost a personal maid. , I heard that she was hiding in the wilderness here, and I came here specifically to look for her this time."
Hearing Ruan Mianmian talk about herself, Magpie's heart felt hot. Could it be that she was still thinking about her old relationship? If that's the case, then she's really weak...
"It's just a servant, why did the girl bother to find her so much?"
"Of course I wanted to find her back to punish her. The little girl's family background is innocent. She has learned about books, etiquette and love and righteousness since she was a child. How could she be like this? A person full of evil deeds brings shame to the family!”
It turns out that it’s his own fault. Malice arose in the heart of the magpie. Ruan Mianmian clearly wanted to kill them all and catch him back to gain favor with Zhuang Yuheng and Mo Tingfeng!
In this case...
As a new ghost citizen, she must fulfill her duty as a landlord!
