Chapter 119: Coveting Incense and Candle Qi
Duan Zhong clasped his fists and said, "The scouts have reported that His Majesty Ye Lan’s ghost soldiers are attacking Taohua Village, while His Majesty Ye Lan personally leads the troops on the Yin-Yang Road, likely to cover for those ghost soldiers attacking Taohua Village.
As a result, the General cannot act lightly, so he has sent us to inform Young Master Lu and go together to offer support."
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and subconsciously asked, "How did those ghost soldiers manage to break through the Yin-Yang Road?"
According to reason, the Tonglin County Underworld guards the Yin-Yang Road connecting the Netherworld. Except for extraordinarily powerful ghosts, ordinary ghosts cannot freely move between realms. You have let a large number of ghost soldiers appear in the mortal realm; this isn’t dereliction of duty, is it?
Duan Zhong was also somewhat embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "We don’t know either; it should be some kind of treasure.
If it weren’t for the General ordering us to delve more into the south side of the city, we probably wouldn’t have known that such a squad of ghost soldiers could bypass the Yin-Yang Road."
"Alright! I understand!"
Upon hearing that Shen Ying was besieged, Lu Zheng wasted no time thanked Duan Zhong, then immediately turned around to go back inside and dress.
To deal with ghosts, Lu Zheng first took an Exorcism Talisman and placed it carefully, then strapped a Brocade Spring Saber on his back, and finally took down a Seven-Star Sword from the wall and hung it on his waist.
This sword was a modern sharp-edged artifact he had bought from the Ten Thousand Ridges Ancient Sword Hall when practicing "White Cloud Swordsmanship," similar in quality to the Cloud Pattern Sword given to Daoist Mingzhang.
It cuts hair upon contact, most suitable for viewing and playing.
He stepped out of the courtyard, and with a shake of his body, dispelled the smell of alcohol, then slapped a Divine Movement Talisman on himself, his figure speeding straight to the south side of the city.
