Chapter 211: Reincarnator's Meeting
Chapter 211: Reincarnator's Meeting
Just a simple inquiry, really...
Hu Ma noticed the old man's dissatisfaction and slight embarrassment.
He had always been curious about such matters, so he asked casually, wondering if the underworld truly existed, given the presence of living spirits, evil spirits, and the Li family, known as "No Constant."
However, since joining the sect, he had not encountered anything related to the underworld.
The old wraith-like man mentioned that the underworld was closed, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, as if it was common knowledge.
Hu Ma was even more perplexed, realizing that this was merely a widely accepted rumor.
There were two possible origins for such rumors: either the event had actually occurred, and people passed it down through word of mouth, or it was a collective attempt to explain the prevalence of evil spirits and the lack of underworld intervention.
As for Hu Ma, pondering these questions might be premature.
The Year-Guarding Book was already shrouded in secrecy, and he could only grasp a tiny part of it.
The emperor who was skinned alive, the officials who collectively went into hiding, the supposedly closed underworld, and the noble families who seemed to be discussing something significant matter in the Stone Pavilion...
Perhaps, he could only understand these mysteries when he was qualified to meet the noble families.
"Old sir, please don't be too late, I'll ask you more questions tomorrow."
Hu Ma couldn't ask further, so he just smiled and conversed with the old wraith-like man. Seeing the old man's disapproving expression, Hu Ma didn't disturb the traditional gathering and returned to prepare for the next day.
However, when he went to the Yellow Dog Village to arrange things, he found that the villagers had already taken the initiative to help.
Even neighboring villages, whose families had received aid, came to offer rice, flour, and eggs.
But the wraith-like people who had come to eat were now scarce.
Most of them had left quietly after appeasing the restless spirits the previous night.
Their sect had its own rules and traditions, and they followed them strictly.
This incident was not just about one family or household; it was a disaster.
So, they came to help, but didn't accept any rewards, only leaving quietly.
"Then let the villagers eat, don't waste it."
Hu Ma stood at the village entrance, watching a wraith-like person carrying a load, walking away in the distance. He didn't try to stop them, only bowed lightly in their direction and returned.
"Take good care of the injured wraith-like people, and if you need anything, come to the manor."
He instructed the villagers: "Use good wood to make coffins for the deceased, and offer incense and food. We'll send them back to their families later."
After completing these tasks, Hu Ma returned to the manor.
Last night, he had slept for several hours, but now, as he lay in bed, he felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue, as if the events of the past few days had finally caught up with him.
He fell into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by a voice: "Old White Dry Brother, are you there?"
"The reincarnators are finally meeting?"
Hu Ma quickly realized he was in the Benming Spirit Temple.
He felt a slight sense of relief.
Earlier, when the Meng family arrived, the reincarnators had decided to lay low, but Hu Ma had encountered the most powerful opponent and the most complex situation since his reincarnation.
At the time, he wanted to discuss it with the other reincarnators, but couldn't break the decision made by the four of them.
Now, with the Meng family gone, the reincarnators were becoming active again.
"Old White Dry Brother, you must have noticed that the Meng family's person has left Mingzhou Prefecture."
Er Guo Tou's voice was not relaxed, but rather more suppressed than before, speaking in a low tone: "But this doesn't mean we're safe. I think our situation is even more precarious than before."
"Huh?"
Hu Ma's mood had relaxed, but he didn't expect Er Guo Tou to say this.
His heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "What's going on?"
"Because the Meng family didn't leave voluntarily; they were driven away by someone in Mingzhou Prefecture..."
Bai Putao Nushi's voice was calm: "And the blue-robed evil spirit was also exorcised by someone in Mingzhou Prefecture, using a spell altar."
“
‘To be able to scare away someone from the Yin-Communicating Meng Family and kill a Blue-robed Evil Ghost so easily, what level do you think this person is?’
‘…’
‘Do we even need to think about it?’
Second Pot's voice was unusually low and even a bit flustered: ‘Anyone who can kill the dog of the Ten Surnames Clan and scare away their people must be on the same level as the Ten Surnames Clan.’
‘But the key is, from the fact that someone came from the Meng Family to find a person and used such means to force them to show up, this person has always been in Mingzhou City...’
‘So, you mean to say, all our previous collaborations were done right under their nose? Aren’t you scared?’
‘…’
”
Hearing his complaints and worries, Hu Ma finally understood the situation, though he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
This time, he had no choice but to act, and it ended up scaring the reincarnated ones?
“Senior, Senior, I’m here…”
Just as he was thinking, a clear voice suddenly rang out. A wisp of incense smoke from his life incense also separated, passing through the dark red mist to connect with another person.
Diguashao arrived a bit later than Hu Ma, but he was extremely excited: “Have you all seen the recent events? Good heavens, a Blue-robed Evil Ghost was killed, and the Meng Family members left…”
“This means there’s a high-level person in Mingzhou City, and they are likely connected to the Meng Family and the Ten Surnames Clan.”
“Imagine, if we cooperate and dig this person out, how much would this information be worth if we sold it?”
“…”
“?”
The moment these words were spoken, Second Pot, Miss White Wine, and Hu Ma were all shocked.
Then, they all said in unison, “Shut up!”
This Diguashao really has a big heart…
Hu Ma was already shocked by this guy. Now, everyone else is scared of me, even Red Lantern Lady is wary, and Second Pot’s voice is trembling. How can you, a reckless youth, not be afraid and even think about digging me out?
Luckily, I’m not really a Hu Clan member, or I would have already bound you to the ritual altar!
“Ah…”
Diguashao, scolded by the three of them, immediately became subdued: “Hehe, I was just suggesting…”
“If you suggest something like this again, you’ll be kicked out of our circle.”
Miss White Wine said calmly, “Second Pot is right. With such a person in Mingzhou City, we do need to be cautious.”
“Of course, we don’t need to be so scared. We’ve been cooperating for a long time, and nothing has happened so far. This indicates that the person in Mingzhou City hasn’t paid attention to us reincarnated ones.”
“Or, they might be in trouble themselves, hiding here. The Meng Family went to great lengths to find them because they couldn’t locate them…”
“…”
Second Pot, worried, said, “Even if they are hiding here, it’s not impossible that they have discovered us.”
“We’ve been too careless before. From now on, I can’t chat with you anymore…”
“…”
“I thank you.”
Miss White Wine said calmly, “However, it’s a fact that the Ten Surnames Clan once cleaned out reincarnated ones, but this doesn’t mean every member of the Ten Surnames Clan has the ability to pick out reincarnated ones from the crowd.”
“In fact, we still don’t know if the Ten Surnames Clan can see through our dream connections. We just don’t know the reason for the last cleansing.”
“But now that we’ve confirmed there’s someone here who can match the Meng Family, or even be at a higher level, we need to be cautious.”
“So…”
She paused for a moment, then said, “Let’s be honest with each other…”
Hu Ma, hearing this, was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Miss White Wine meant by being honest.
Then he heard her say, “Mr. Second Pot, if it were you, how many Blue-robed Evil Ghosts or Red Lantern Lady-level evil spirits could you eliminate?”
“…”
“?”
Caught off guard by these words, Hu Ma was bewildered, and Diguashao was clearly bewildered as well.
Was this the wrong place to ask? Is Miss White Wine joking? Second Pot is just a guardian to the Red Lantern Lady…
“Ah?”
Second Pot was clearly startled by Miss White Wine’s words and felt like his bottom had been exposed. He hastily said, “What are you talking about? I am loyal to our Lady, I would die ten thousand times for her, give my life for her, give my body for her…”
“I believe you.”
Miss White Wine said calmly, “So, if it really came down to it, how many Red Lantern Lady-level evil spirits could you eliminate?”
“…”
“I can’t eliminate any…”
Second Pot was already both shocked and terrified, repeatedly saying, “What kind of person is Lady? Her power is boundless, she can end lives. In front of her, I…”
“… I can’t bear it.”
“…”
Hu Ma and Diguashao were both stunned. What was this conversation about?
