Yinshan Record

Chapter 142 Making a Name for You
"Young master, you are a master archer."

Taigong Chong looked at the flying heads scattered all over the ground in the distance and exclaimed in admiration.

These ghosts and beasts live on the edge of the Yin-Yang realm, and their exact origins are no longer clear. However, they pose the most direct threat to the ghosts living in the Yin-Yang realm.

It's true that these ghosts and beasts crave blood, but what kind of blood can they find in this Yin-Yang realm? They basically live by feeding on the ghosts in the Yin-Yang realm.

As a ghost messenger within the Yin-Yang realm, Taigong Chong had often fought against these ghost beasts while traveling between the realms, and he was well aware of the Flying Head Barbarian's power.

Seeing Su Che easily annihilate these ghosts and beasts with a single arrow, they finally realized what kind of person they had met in the shed outside Guobei County that day.

Su Che held a bow in his left hand, with eight arrows behind him like a peacock's tail, but his eyes were fixed on the front.

Based on Su San Gongzi's spiritual senses, this flying-headed barbarian was merely the vanguard; something else was lurking behind. The divine senses that had just probed this place contained a great deal of undisguised ferocity and ruthlessness.

"So the ghost soldiers within the realm are just allowed to roam freely?"

Lu Bai looked at the corpses of the flying barbarians scattered on the ground.

These ghostly beasts, when they soared up, were as large as cartwheels, but when they landed on the ground, they were only the size of a bowl. Taigong Chong, this old ghost, was floating above the corpse of the flying barbarian, gulping down pure yin energy.

"How can we possibly manage it all?"

Taigong Chong took a deep breath of yin energy, and a ghostly light flickered in his eyes.

"The ghost soldiers within the realm are merely maintaining order, preventing these things from entering and causing harm."

“You guys are quite tolerant,” Lu Bai said bluntly, “You have time to go out and kidnap some unfortunate musicians, but you don’t have time to sweep your own doorstep.”

"What are you saying? We're not even as good as those musicians."

Taigong Chong's words were also born from his own feelings.

Su Che ignored him.

The two-faced ghost general held his large shield horizontally, took a few steps, and ripped open a large gash in his abdomen. Without caring about anything else, he stuffed all the corpses of the flying barbarians into it.

Su Che did not order the Two-Faced Ghost General to do so.

In fact, the relationship between Su Che and the Two-Faced Ghost General is like that of a puppeteer and a marionette. Except for the lines of praise that come entirely from his instincts, every move of the Two-Faced Ghost General is arranged by Su Che at his own whim.

However, the act of opening a gap in the abdominal armor and placing the corpse of the flying-headed barbarian inside was beyond Su Che's control.

The "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" was specially designed by the Yellow Heaven Path for disciples who were to become ghost cultivators, and it naturally contains the supreme power to subdue spirits and control ghosts.

However, Su Che's cultivation was shallow at the time, and Yu Lizi's original intention was not to have his disciple specialize in this one discipline, so he did not mention it.

Now, we can indeed use the unusual movements of the two-headed ghost general to deduce the situation.

Su Che glanced at Taigong Chong; there were readily available resources everywhere in this Yin-Yang Realm.

"The Eighteen Bends was originally a place where all kinds of evil spirits and monsters were exiled."

Taigong Chong said, "It's normal that these things are here; it would be strange if they weren't."

Lu Bai chuckled coldly, but his long sword remained unsheathed.

"I think what you're saying, you old devil, isn't entirely true. Are you trying to take advantage of our honesty and deliberately lead us astray?"

"I swear to God, if you're honest, I'm a blockhead."

"Taigong Chong said."

"Although this Yin-Yang Realm is called a realm, apart from the Five Yin City, the terrain and size of other places are constantly changing. Even if I wanted to lead you two astray, there would have to be a path to take first."

According to Taigongchong, the ghosts and evil spirits in this area have been entrenched for a long time. Back when the Yin-Yang Dharma King was still in charge, he let them run wild, only occasionally sending people to hunt them down.

Now the six ghost generals are in charge. They don't care about the consequences of their actions and don't care much about the others, so the area around the Eighteen Bends is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Su Che disagreed with Taigong Chong's statement.

"You mean that one?"

Upon hearing this, Taigong Chong looked ahead and saw a vast open field surrounded by graves, with only a narrow path winding forward.

About a mile ahead, a female ghost in red was holding a red oil-paper umbrella, her long hair, made of snakes and serpents, constantly curling and flicking its tongue.

His divine sense was as cold as ice, and it directly penetrated over, making no attempt to conceal his malice.

"Among the six Ghost Generals, is this one?"

Su Che gazed at the female ghost from afar, and judging from her imposing presence, she possessed at least a sixth-rank cultivation level.

Taigong Chong's expression changed upon seeing this.

"My benefactor, let's go quickly."

Su Che looked at Taigong Chong: "Sigh, it's still easier to call him Young Master." "Thank you for saving my life, Young Master. That female ghost is notoriously ruthless. Let's go quickly."

"It seems there are still some things left unsaid."

Su Che looked at the female ghost in the distance.

Isn't she coming?

"This female ghost is a notorious vengeful spirit in the world, known as Lady Boiling Bones. We'd better not provoke her."

"I've never heard of such a vengeful ghost."

Su Che focused his attention on the female ghost in front of him.

Based on the remote sensing, the female ghost did not have much malevolent aura. Although she was ugly, she seemed to be an ordinary ghost cultivator.

"Young Master En..."

"It would be better to call him benefactor."

"Young master, do you know why this female ghost is called Lady Boiling Bones?"

"Could it be that she has a husband named Feigu?"

"At a time like this, what are you still joking about?" Taigong Chong gave Su Che a reproachful look: "The reason this vengeful ghost is called this name is because she has refined an extremely vicious Yin Fire. When a ghost cultivator is hit by it, his soul boils and his bones are turned to dust. She is ruthless by nature and will not let go of any ghost cultivators in the Yin-Yang realm she sees."

Su Che shook his head.

"I think this one seems to have a good temper. The two are only a mile apart. If it were to fight, she could use many methods, but she hasn't made a move yet, which means she still has a mind of her own and cannot be simply classified as a vengeful ghost."

Lu Bai immediately replied, "Yes, what you say makes sense, young master. In my humble opinion, we can write this account into a book in the future. Perhaps there are some spirits among these ghosts who still have a clear mind."

"Since it was discovered by you, young master, why not call it the Left Ghost or the Cold Ghost, as a way to commemorate your virtue? If we call it the Zen Ghost, it might cause dissatisfaction from the Buddhist community, and that would only create more trouble and be worse."

"Actually, you and I share some responsibility for this discovery, especially regarding the name..."

Taigong Chong was speechless for a moment, wondering if the two people next to him were not two living people, but two confused ghosts whose lifespans were about to end and whose spirits were about to vanish.

What kind of situation is this, still discussing naming things?

What business is it of yours to name a child?

"Young master, judging from your appearance, you are not from this world, and we should have no old grudges. Why did you attack my spirit bird without warning?"

The female ghost suddenly spoke in a loud voice, and her words were much clearer than those of the monsters she had encountered in Xuanshan.

Lu Bai recalled the flying head barbarian the size of a cartwheel he had just seen, and looking at this evil-looking red-clad female ghost, he couldn't help but say.

"Like attracts like."

"Don't say that, people can hear you."

After giving his subordinates a warning, Su San Gongzi turned to look at Taigong Chong beside him.

"Are all the vengeful ghosts in your Yin-Yang realm like this? Keeping birds as pets?"

Taigong Chong gave an awkward smile.

Su Che ignored him, drew his bow and arrow, and pulled out another Nine Yuan Ji Du Soul-Sweeping Arrow from behind him, which flew straight towards the female ghost.

"This arrow is aimed at your bastards. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Remember this: I am a helper invited by the Grand Master Chong, the Black Feather Ghost Messenger of the Yin-Yang Realm. I am here to kill old ghosts like you who refuse to submit to the King's rule. Take this!"

The female ghost saw the arrow flashing in the distance. She had already witnessed the ruthlessness of this arrow. She muttered the name of that bird-feathered old man a few times in her mind. Without being arrogant, she immediately transformed into a streak of crimson light, her true energy surging, and headed towards the distant sky.

The arrow's light meandered, following the neon glow straight into the distance.

"Missed it?"

Lu Bai muttered something beside him.

"An arrow aimed at a soul is bound to miss; how can it possibly miss? Let's see how she handles it."

Su Che patted Taigong Chong, whose face looked even worse than if he had come back to life.

"How about it? I've made you famous today, so you have to buy me a drink."

"Sure, hehe, sure."

Grandpa nodded stiffly.

Su Che looked at the distance where the female ghost had fled. This Yin-Yang realm was interesting. That place must be some kind of Five Yin City.
