I'm not a drama god

"You've fought with them too?" Chen Ling was a little surprised.

"In my early years, I experienced an earthquake." Shen Nan's eyes flashed with complexity, "The earthquake was very serious, and I lost my father. It was also at that time that I mastered the power of [Nuo]...

I'm not sure if it was a dream or reality. I just remember that there seemed to be someone standing above the earthquake zone. He was wearing pale white clothes and there were crescent-shaped eyes at the corners. It seemed like he was smiling, but it didn't seem like he was smiling.

Later, I had a fight with him in my dream. I was initially defeated, but then two Shinto stars, Wu and Xi, lit up in the sky, and I felt a sudden surge of power, which drove him away. "

Hearing this, Chen Ling immediately thought of the great earthquake that occurred in Shen Nancheng Nuo. In that horrific disaster, there was only one victim, and the others who were buried underground survived by miracle... Now it seems that the survival of those people is not as simple as it seems.

"That is indeed the messenger of Guidao Guzang, but his name is not 'Kongwang', but 'Suxi'." Sun Bumian replied immediately after hearing the description of the man's expression.

"Shuxi?"

"There are six messengers in the Ghost Path Ancient Treasures. Their bodies are all behind the Ghost Gate and they usually don't leave... When a large-scale death is about to occur in a certain area, their thoughts will descend to ensure that all the dead souls can enter behind the Ghost Gate. After all, there are too many dead souls. If there is a mistake, they will become wandering souls in the world of the living and affect the operation of the Ghost Path."

"It turns out that what I encountered at the beginning were just their thoughts..." Shen Nan thought thoughtfully.

Chen Ling thought of the void just now. Ordinary people really couldn't see the other party's existence. If he didn't possess the power of [Nuo], he probably wouldn't be able to see or touch him... The power of [Nuo] was originally between the power of witchcraft and sorcery. It could eliminate disasters and diseases, solve all kinds of problems, and was opposed to the ghost messenger.

But when Kongwang was in the Tianshu Realm, he could not only be seen by everyone, but also attacked by everyone. That should be Kongwang's true form.

"There is one more thing that I find strange." Chen Ling recalled the scene of the sudden disappearance of the void, frowning slightly.

"After I fought with Kong Wang, his body burrowed into the ground and disappeared in an instant... Do their thoughts have the ability to move over such long distances?"

"He did move, but that wasn't the reason for his disappearance."

Sun Bumian's expression was somewhat serious. He raised his hand and pointed at the ground beneath his feet. "If I'm not mistaken, we are now standing right above the Ghost Gate..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ling and Shen Nan were stunned.

"You mean, the underground of Wushan Town is the ancient treasure of the Ghost Path?"

"Many, many years ago, I passed through the Ghost Path Ancient Treasure, but it has been so long that I can no longer remember the exact location. In addition, the terrain and topography are completely different from the past." Sun Bumian paused for a moment.

"However, the aura of good and bad luck at the Ghost Gate is very special... The evil aura here is so strong that it almost completely obscured the aura of the Ghost Gate itself. I almost didn't recognize it."

"Then the disaster in Wushan Town is related to the ancient ghost treasure?" Shen Nan frowned.

"Logically speaking, the Ghost Dao Ancient Tibetan is only responsible for the operation of the Ghost Dao and will not interfere in the development of external affairs... But the evil spirit here is really strange, and I can't judge where its source is."

The three of them fell into deep thought at the same time.

"Perhaps the director of Bureau 749 knows something." Chen Ling suddenly spoke.

The other two looked at him at the same time, and Chen Ling continued to explain, "Don't you find it strange? Why did Bureau 749 choose this place as the venue for the conference? This is a dangerous place where one can die without any chance of survival, and it is also the ghost gate of the ancient ghost treasure... This is too much of a coincidence."

"Chen Ling is right. Instead of guessing here, we might as well go and ask him directly." Shen Nan nodded.

"Then leave it to you!"

Sun Bumian spoke immediately.

Shen Nan:?

"I don't want to deal with that guy, and Chen Ling is a wanted criminal, so you are the only one who can go." Sun Bumian spread his hands helplessly.

"...Alright." Shen Nan glanced at the time. "The dinner will start soon. I'll see if he shows up tonight. If he does, I'll go talk to him."

"What dinner?" Chen Ling asked puzzledly.

"Every time there is a meeting, Bureau 749 will hold a welcoming dinner, which is a way for everyone to socialize before the formal meeting to avoid the atmosphere being too serious."

Hearing this, Chen Ling keenly grasped something.

“Will all the guests be there?”

"I know most of them. We still have to give face to the 749th Bureau. What's wrong?"

Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, then slowly glanced at the two of them.

"Have you ever heard of Emperor God Dao?"

……

"Is this Wushan?"

Su Zhiwei and Yang Xiao got out of the car one after another, looking at the hazy town shrouded in mist and fog, their eyes full of curiosity.

“I thought it would be more modern.”

"After all, it's a town in the mountains, not a popular tourist area. It's pretty good now." Su Zhiwei looked at the towering hospital building in the distance, "At least, the hospital is still pretty decent..."

“After so many years, there have been a lot of changes.”

Lu Xun got off the car last, and his eyes slowly scanned the surroundings, as if comparing the scene in front of him with his memory. "The road has become wider, and there are more tall buildings... I don't know if those people back then are still here."

"Has Director Chen arrived?"

"I just received a message saying Director Chen has checked into Huixian Hotel."

"Huixian Hotel?" Lu Xun was a little surprised. "This hotel hasn't closed down yet... It seems to be older than me."

Then Lu Xun seemed to have thought of something and nodded to himself:

"That's right... Wushan Town doesn't have many tourists from other places. I guess there hasn't been a decent hotel built there. Apart from Huixian Hotel, there's nowhere else to stay."

"So where are we staying tonight?"

"We can't stay at Huixian Hotel anymore. I guess Director Sun and his men will also stay there. If they see us, it will be troublesome."

"Then live in Dr. Lu's house?"

"My house has been abandoned for too many years, and it's probably gone..." Lu Xun thought for a moment, "I remember there was a Lotus Hotel next to Huixian Hotel, which was opened by one of my uncles. Although the conditions are not as good as Huixian Hotel, it should be no problem to stay there for a day or two."

"That's fine." Su Zhiwei nodded, "It's closer to Huixian Hotel, so it will be more convenient to move around."

Lu Xun and the other two did not waste any time and went straight to the Lotus Hotel.

Under Lu Xun's guidance, they quickly found the location of the hotel. It was called a hotel, but in fact it looked more like two run-down stores connected together with a hotel sign. The exterior was shabby and even worse than most guesthouses.

Lu Xun pushed the door open and walked in. Behind the dim counter, a man in his fifties or sixties yawned leisurely.

When he saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, then spoke uncertainly:

"...Xiao Xun?"
