After becoming a ghost, hold the boss's thigh tightly

The Ghost Lord Qiu Mian sat in the dark hall, surrounded by a faint aura of the underworld, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the essence of all things in the world.

Below, the Dharma Protector Nanfeng and the Dharma Protector Beiqian stood side by side, with solemn expressions, as if they had something to hide.

"Master Ghost," the guardian Nanfeng spoke first, his voice deep and powerful, "Recently, we have been following your instructions to conduct a detailed investigation and surveillance of the key places where the World Devouring Nightmare is recovering its power. Fortunately, we have successfully located and stationed in many key places, effectively curbing the momentum of its power recovery."

Beiqian Protector took over the conversation and added, "Not only that, sir. During this process, we also discovered some evildoers who took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes. Fortunately, we acted in time and eliminated these evildoers one by one, ensuring peace in this area. This is enough to prove that our plan is progressing steadily and effectively."

Hearing this, Ghost Lord Qiumian smiled faintly, but there was a hint of worry hidden in that smile. "Although the plan is good, we must also be wary of undercurrents. The success you call it is only a temporary calm. The real challenge is often hidden beneath the seemingly calm surface."

She changed the subject and glanced sharply at the two guardians, "Tell me, is there any bad news that you haven't told me yet?"

The Nanfeng and Beiqian guardians exchanged a glance, and Nanfeng finally spoke: "Master Ghost, there is indeed an elite team responsible for going deep behind enemy lines. Since they started their mission, there has been no news. Although we have tried our best to search, we have not been able to find any trace of them. What is more worrying is that although their life lamps have not been extinguished, they are extremely weak, as if they will go out at any time."

Beiqian Protector took over the conversation, his tone full of anxiety: "We have sent people to investigate many times, but no matter what method we use, we cannot obtain any information about that team. The longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous their situation will be."

Upon hearing this, Ghost Lord Qiu Mian frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance and must be resolved as soon as possible. The people you sent before may not have been able to get to the core of the problem. How about this, I will personally give the order to let Yin Yang Hou go to investigate."

"Yin Yang Hou?" The Nanfeng and Beiqian guardians were both shocked. Yin Yang Hou and his companions were rare geniuses in the ghost world. Not only were their cultivations profound and unfathomable, they were also good at deducing the secrets of the heavens and seeing into the future. Letting them take action would undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility of finding the team and rescuing them.

"That's right." Ghost Lord Qiu Mian nodded in confirmation, "Marquis Yin Yang and his men are not only highly skilled, but also possess extraordinary wisdom and insight. Perhaps they can find those hidden clues and solve this mystery. Send the order immediately and have Marquis Yin Yang set off immediately without any mistakes."

"Yes, sir!" Protectors Nanfeng and Beiqian responded in unison, then turned and left, ready to carry out Ghost Lord's orders.

With the departure of the two guardians, the hall returned to peace. Ghost Lord Qiumian sat alone on the throne, looking deep into the distance, praying in his heart: "May Yin Yang Hou's trip go smoothly and bring back good news that the team has returned safely. At the same time, I must also prepare for the worst and be fully prepared for the coming storm."

After receiving the order, the Yin-Yang Marquis set off towards the direction where the team was.

On the way to the village where the last clue of the missing team appeared, the Yin Qing and Yang Xue sisters of Yin Yang Hou walked side by side on the winding mountain road. Surrounded by dense forests and steep mountains, it seemed particularly quiet and mysterious.

"Sister, according to my calculations, the team did go to a village like this before they disappeared." Yin Qing stopped and stared at the vague outline of the village in front of her, frowning slightly, "This village is hidden so deeply that it would be difficult to find its trace unless you look for it intentionally."

Hearing this, Yang Xue also stopped and looked ahead with a determined look. "Since they have come here, we can't give up. No matter how many difficulties and dangers there are ahead, we must find them and bring them back safely."

"That's right." Yin Qing nodded in agreement. "According to the intelligence, this team is made up of five young men. They are all brothers with different surnames and have a deep friendship with each other. The captain, Yang Feng, is an admirable leader; the deputy captain, Lin Hao, is steady and reliable; and there are Li Hua, Wang Qiang and Zhao Yong. They all have unique skills and together they form a force that cannot be underestimated."

"Speaking of Yang Feng," Yang Xue's eyes flashed with curiosity, "I heard that he is not only a martial arts expert, but also a wise and brave man. He is the soul of the team. I really want to see what kind of person he is."

Yin Qing chuckled, "Sister, when did you become so gossipy? But then again, I'm also curious about their story. After all, being able to become brothers in such a chaotic world and face the test of life and death together, this kind of friendship is really rare."

"Okay, sister, let's not waste any more time." Yang Xue put away her smile and said seriously, "Now that we have determined the target location, we should act as soon as possible. Let's go, let's uncover the secrets of this village and find the missing team."

After that, the two sisters set out on the road to the village again. They shuttled through the dense forest, as fast and agile as two lightning bolts.

As the Yin Yang sisters went deeper, they gradually approached the village surrounded by dense forests and steep mountains. The air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if every inch of land carried the sedimentation of years.

"Sister, do you feel that the atmosphere here is a little unusual?" Yang Xue asked softly, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.

Yin Qing nodded, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to use her deductive ability to sense the changes around her.

"Indeed, the energy fluctuations here are extremely complex, and seem to be hiding some unknown power." She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze becoming deep, "We must be more careful to avoid triggering any unnecessary trouble."

The two sisters continued to move forward, their steps light and agile, trying not to make any noise.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the village, where they saw an ancient stone gate with complicated totems and mysterious symbols carved on it, exuding a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

"It seems that this is the only way to enter the village." Yang Xue said in a low voice while observing the stone gate.

Yin Qing walked forward and gently touched the totem on the stone door with her hand. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. "These totems contain ancient power. They seem to be telling the history and secrets of this village." She pondered for a moment, then turned to Yang Xue and said, "Let's try to find a way to open the stone door by deduction."

Yang Xue nodded in agreement, and the two sisters closed their eyes together and concentrated on the deduction.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Finally, at a certain moment, a hint of joy flashed in Yin Qing's eyes.

"Found it!" She suddenly opened her eyes and quickly traced a complex path on the stone door with her fingers. As she moved, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the stone door, and then, with a loud "bang", the stone door slowly opened, revealing the road leading to the interior of the village.

"Great!" Yang Xue shouted excitedly, "Let's go in and take a look!"

The two sisters stepped through the stone gate without hesitation and entered this mysterious village.

They know that the road ahead will be full of unknowns and challenges, but they also believe that as long as they join hands and face it together, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

The moment they stepped into the village, the Yin Yang Hou sisters seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to an isolated ancient world.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the bluestone road. On both sides are neatly arranged wooden houses and small courtyards surrounded by bamboo fences. Everything seems so peaceful and harmonious.

However, beneath this tranquility lies an indescribable sense of oppression.

The villagers were either busy with their work or sitting quietly in thought, but their eyes revealed a sense of emptiness and confusion, as if they had lost their souls.

"This place... is so weird." Yang Xue lowered her voice and looked around vigilantly.

Yin Qing nodded, her brows furrowed, and she used all her power of deduction to try to find out the secrets of the village. "The energy field here is very chaotic. It is not only mixed with the power of various natural elements, but also mixed with a dark energy that I have never seen before."

The two sisters carefully shuttled through the village, trying not to attract the attention of the villagers. They found that although the village seemed peaceful, there were actually undercurrents.

Some seemingly ordinary wooden houses actually hide complicated mechanisms and traps; and those seemingly harmless villagers may inadvertently reveal frightening malice.

"It seems that we have to be careful." Yin Qing whispered to Yang Xue, "This village hides a huge secret, and that team is likely to be involved in this turmoil."

Yang Xue held the magic weapon tightly in her hand, her eyes determined. "No matter how many difficulties we face, we must find them and reveal the true face of this village."

In the village shrouded in dreams, the sunlight seemed to have lost its former brightness and became somewhat dim and strange.

Without exception, the villagers had smiles that were too bright and almost unreal on their faces. Their eyes were empty and blurry, as if all their emotions had been swallowed up by dreams.

"Sister, look at their smiles, why are they so..." There was a hint of uneasiness in Yang Xue's voice. She gently tugged at Yin Qing's sleeve, signaling her to pay attention to the abnormality of those villagers.

Yin Qing frowned, and she looked around, with an ominous premonition in her heart. "Behind this smile, the truth is that they are trapped in a dream and cannot extricate themselves." She whispered, revealing a bit of solemnity in her tone.

In order to understand all this more deeply, Yin Qing took out the talisman specially made by the Ghost Lord from his arms. It was a mysterious piece of paper emitting a faint glow and contained powerful power.

"We must enter their dreams and find out why they don't want to wake up." She said firmly, handing a talisman to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue took the talisman. Although she was a little nervous, she still chose to trust Yin Qing's judgment.

The two of them crushed the talisman at the same time, a dazzling light flashed, and their bodies instantly became light, as if they were pulled by an invisible force, penetrating the barrier between dreams and reality.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a bizarre world.

This is the dream place in the hearts of the villagers, a fantasy world that is completely different from reality.

Here, everyone lives according to their own wishes, and those smiles become real and vivid.

"Look over there!" Yang Xue said, pointing to a young man not far away. The young man was hugging a beautiful woman, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of tenderness and love.

In another corner, a seemingly ordinary farmer was holding a huge axe and fighting fiercely with a ferocious beast. Every swing of his was extremely precise, as if he possessed unparalleled fighting power.

"They... they were all reborn in a dream." Yin Qing murmured to herself, with a hint of surprise and worry in her eyes. "This kind of life seems beautiful, but it is actually an illusion. Long-term indulgence will only make them lose themselves."

In order to awaken these lost souls, Yin Qing and Yang Xue began to try to communicate with the villagers.

They found that whenever they mentioned the real world, the villagers' eyes would become flickering, and some even showed fear and avoidance.

"We... don't want to go back." A young girl whispered, her voice full of helplessness and sadness, "Here, I can have everything I want, including him..." She pointed to a handsome young man beside her, whose eyes were also full of attachment to her.

"But this kind of life is not real." Yin Qing gently persuaded, "True happiness is not to escape from reality, but to face it bravely and create a better future with your own hands."

However, the villagers seemed unwilling to listen to their advice. They firmly believed that they had found true happiness in their dreams and were unwilling to return to the real world full of hardships and challenges.

Faced with such a dilemma, Yin Qing and Yang Xue did not give up. They decided to use the power of the special talisman made by Gui Zun to go deep into the hearts of the villagers and find the root cause of their unwillingness to wake up.

After some effort, they finally discovered the problem - it turned out that these villagers had encountered various setbacks and misfortunes in real life, and they were eager to escape these pains, so they sought comfort and satisfaction in their dreams.

They wondered if the team had also fallen into a dream and was so engrossed in it that they could not extricate themselves. Perhaps they had completely immersed themselves in the dream world and had lost their perception and connection with reality.

This situation reminds people of some legends and stories about dreams, those who can never return to reality after entering the dream, or those who are confused by the dream and forget their identity and purpose.

If the team is really trapped in a dream, they may face various dangers and challenges, and may never wake up.

This made people begin to worry about the safety of the team, and also generated more curiosity and fear about the mysterious power of dreams.
