The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

"Sister, there is a road out of the mountain on the right, about one or two meters wide and nearly a hundred kilometers long.

At the end of the road is a dilapidated Guan Gong Temple. It seems that no one has been there for at least decades.

There was a thick layer of dust inside, and a statue of Guan Yu with peeling paint.

Pudding continued.

"Yes, and we also encountered a group of old monsters with human bodies and animal heads on that road. There were about twenty of them.

They look like a group of monkeys that have become spirits. They are tall, strong, sturdy, agile, intelligent and have excellent vision.

Even though we are so small as paper figures, they can still see us clearly. The most important thing is…"

Pudding revealed his true form from the paper figure and ran to Chu Zhao in a flash.

He pointed pitifully at a bump on his head, which was as big as a child's fist.

"Brother Chu Zhao, those monkeys hit me with stones. Look how big the bump is! They're ganging up on me!"

"Hahaha."

Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh at Pudding's cries of injustice and his pointing fingers.

"Ahem... I'm sorry, I wasn't kidding you. Um... can you use this medicine?"

In order to hide the embarrassment on his face, Chu Yu took a tube of medicine with foreign words written on it from Xing Jiashan and shook it in front of Pudding.

The latter shook his head.

"No. But Brother Chu, you have to help me avenge this. It came up and hit me, and I didn't even provoke it..."

Chu Yu tried hard to suppress his smile and nodded solemnly.

"No problem, I will definitely avenge you."

Shi Rong lowered his head and tried hard for a long time to stop himself from laughing out loud.

These kids are so cute, they actually complained to their owner...

"Okay, don't feel wronged. Come, let uncle touch it and it won't hurt."

Shi Yong secretly injected a wisp of light golden energy into the palm of his right hand and touched the injured part of Pudding.

In almost the blink of an eye, the big bump on its head disappeared.

"Wow! It really doesn't hurt anymore, and the swelling is gone. Thank you, uncle~"

After politely thanking him, Pudding contentedly returned to his little paper figurine.

"Baby, what's the principle behind this? Generally speaking, shouldn't ghosts be afraid of a mage's aura?"

Shi Yang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to ask Shi Rong beside him in a low voice.

The latter nodded.

“Indeed, the relationship between mages and ghosts is, logically speaking, one of mutual suppression.

But once a ghost recognizes its master, things become different.

The wizard's qi can not only help ghosts heal their wounds; the ghosts' tears can also help humans recover their vitality.

That’s why Little Cotton cried on my face yesterday and woke me up.”

Oh ~

Shi Yang understood.

“It’s so magical.”

After resting for a while, everyone, led by Yuanbao, set out on the mountain road on the right.

"Xiao Shirong, what are you going to do with that nest of centipede monsters? Are you going to just ignore them?"

Shi Rong thought about it.

“On the way back, just clean it up.

Luancheng has been experiencing continuous rainfall recently, and it is a rare heavy rainstorm. Even when practicing, those centipede monsters need to release poisonous miasma to protect their bodies.

It means that in the short term, nothing serious will be done to harm the world."

Xie Yixiu frowned.

"If Luancheng is really going to have a series of heavy rainstorms next, it will be bad for our trip.

After all, rainy days are the best time for ghosts to run rampant."

Shi Rong smiled.

"How do you know? You've never seen a braided ghost before. What if it's a rainy day? That's a big taboo for them, too?"

Xie Yixiu's old face turned red.

"What you said... Could it be that you have seen it?"

Shi Rong laughed again.

"No, I guessed."

Xie Yixiu was stunned. Why was she doing this again?

"So what did you guess?"

Shi Rong walked forward briskly, carrying a small bag on his back, and pointed at the used map.

"Who do you think is the most powerful of these three ghosts on this trip?"

Xie Yixiu blurted out the answer without even thinking.

"It must be the Asura Ghost Mother! You almost lost your life, have you forgotten?"

Shi Rong was speechless.

"Then why does your uncle Shi, a gifted and enlightened master, insist on ranking Braid Ghost after Ghost Mother?"

Xie Yixiu shook his head.

"I don't know. Isn't it just something I said casually? What's so special about it?"

Shi Rong's eyelids fluttered.

"Of course! Do you think killing a ghost is killing a person? You can kill anyone first?

Generally speaking, a skilled mage will always put the hardest to kill last. If you don't believe me, just ask."

Xie Yixiu turned around and looked at Shi Yong behind him curiously.

The man nodded slightly, indicating that Shi Rong was right.

He smiled slightly awkwardly, then returned to his serious expression.

"And then? What did you guess?"

Xie Yixiu was almost going crazy!

At this critical moment, he didn't understand why Shi Rong still had the heart to keep things in suspense...

The little woman was speechless again.

"The braided ghost itself does not have strong killing power.

It can even be said that the strength of this thousand-year-old female ghost is not as good as that of a water ghost.

The deep mountains of Luancheng are full of dangers and unpredictable weather. We just arrived and we have encountered so many strange and bizarre phenomena.

Going deeper would be extremely difficult. Its combat capability is so low, yet it can thrive in such a difficult place.

That only means that it has a very powerful helper by its side, and this helper's strength may be far superior to that of the Shura Ghost Mother."

"What!?"

When Xie Yixiu heard this, he looked at Shi Yong who was nodding his head like crazy and screamed in surprise.

"What should we do? How do we fight this?

We've already had a hard time defeating a single ghost mother. If we get another one more powerful than her, won't we be doomed?"

Shi Rong was completely speechless.

"Yes, I will send you to the west first when the time comes."

A crow's mouth...

"Hahahahaha!"

When everyone heard this, they laughed with joy and fell forward.

Tsk!

Xie Yixiu pouted in grievance, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and did not wait to apologize.

Shi Yongxian patted his broad shoulders.

"Yi Xiu, have you ever thought about this? Since Yan'er can do this without getting close to the braided ghost.

She analyzed it thoroughly and logically, which shows that she may have already had a strategy in mind.

That’s right!

Xie Yixiu slapped his thigh.

Just as he was about to say something, Shi Rong suddenly turned around and twitched his lips in silence.

"Dad, you're overthinking it. I really didn't."

Shi Yong smiled indifferently.

"I do not believe."

"Look..."

Shi Rong wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Really? Believe it or not... Let's find a place first."

When they arrived at the place where they encountered the monkey monsters, Pudding was so angry that his teeth were bared. He picked up the spear in his hand and was about to stab them on the heads.

But Shi Rong was quick-witted and stopped him.

"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry? Your little javelin is just a tickle to me."

"Pfft~"

Chu Yu almost lost his composure and couldn't help laughing at Pudding's furious look.

How can a little paper man that's not even as big as your palm be so funny when he gets angry?
