Chapter 668: The Purple Great Guardian's Overflow
Chapter 668: The Purple Great Guardian's Overflow
Something important seemed amiss, as if a crucial matter had been overlooked.
Brother Er Gou's surname was indeed Hu, but how could anyone have guessed that?
A sudden doubt arose in Hu Ma's mind, recalling the time when Shen Shou Zhao and Jiangtou Chen's people had stared at Brother Er Gou with peculiar gazes upon entering the village of the living. Considering their complex attitudes towards him and Brother Er Gou's aura of purple qi, Hu Ma's thoughts raced.
Recalling the Yin-Yang Dual Landscape Compass in his possession and his exceptional skills in wandering ghost techniques, everything seemed to pile up, and a strange and intricate feeling began to stir within him.
However, this feeling was too outrageous, defying conventional logic. Until now, he hadn't dwelled on this possibility, but as the Meng Family Patriarch's scolding echoed, a sudden realization struck him.
"Holy shit..."
He couldn't believe it, "How could such an absurd idea be so perfectly fitting?"
Initially, he had entertained somewhat crazy thoughts, unsure if they were appropriate, but now, he couldn't contain his excitement.
...
...
"Hahaha..."
Brother Er Gou now found himself in the City of the Wrongly Dead, a place without ground, only 'bottom', where the Purple Great Guardian swirled, its purple glow dazzling everyone's eyes.
Overjoyed, he paid no heed to anything else and swiftly handed the Red Wine Miss, whom he had brought in, to the Green Gourd. Pointing to the ground, a torrent of purple qi surged into the gourd like a whale sucking in water.
As for the scolding from the Meng Family's leader, he didn't pay much attention, partly due to the distance and partly because the Yin-Yang Dual Landscape Compass was protecting him.
In this world, what could be more important than this, even compared to the lives of the White Spirit brothers...
...Of course, this was a bit exaggerated. The White Spirit brothers were still important, but they could take care of themselves, couldn't they?
The thoughts he had upon entering the City of the Wrongly Dead had long been cast aside. At this moment, the Purple Great Guardian was the most crucial.
This was a treasure that could help reincarnates cross the bridge!
His heart thrilled at the thought, and as he watched the purple qi being sucked into the Red Gourd, he felt utterly content and a sense of happiness welled up within him. "With this windfall, not only have I secured blessings for the reincarnate brothers, but more importantly..."
"I've saved them the trouble of coming to me with their puffed-up faces, asking for the Hu Family's help in the future!"
"..."
"..."
Meanwhile, in Ming State, Miss Red Wine slowly pinched the bridge of her nose, marveling at the reincarnates' newfound courage. However, very few had successfully crossed the bridge, and their abilities were limited.
This commotion had undoubtedly affected the Meng Family significantly, but it could only divert their attention, allowing the White Spirit and his people to handle matters efficiently. It was unlikely to truly harm the Meng Family's foundation.
Unfortunately, there was no other way.
The Purple Great Guardian might be the key to reincarnates crossing the bridge, but it wasn't something one could easily obtain. Just as she was lamenting this, a sudden 'dong' sound startled her. Turning, she saw the gourd she had placed on the nearby wooden table.
The Green Gourd had been sitting there peacefully, but for some inexplicable reason, it had crushed the table and fallen to the ground, creating a dent that deepened.
"Why has the gourd suddenly become so heavy?"
As she stood in shock, she noticed purple qi swirling within the unsealed gourd.
"Purple... Purple Great Guardian?"
"..."
She was so stunned that she stood up, unable to believe her eyes, her expression turning from shock to excitement. "Could it be?"
"Is he really that generous to offer something so important?"
"..."
Even someone as experienced and meticulous as her was shaken by this mysterious object. Beside her, Burn Blade was even more dumbfounded, his mouth agape in disbelief.
The two exchanged glances, and after a long silence, Miss Red Wine suddenly jumped up. After twenty years of wandering the rivers and lakes, she rarely felt this tense. "Quick, send a message to those guys..."
"Put in more effort this time. The reward we can offer is the Purple Great Guardian..."
"No!"
"..."
She abruptly stopped herself and whispered, "It's the chance to cross the bridge!"
Burn Blade left with a dazed expression, while Miss Red Wine sat down, her emotions in turmoil. Suddenly, she began to work hurriedly, pulling out red threads and quickly weaving something, her actions filled with urgency.
When Burn Blade delivered the message, it was hard to imagine the stir this news would cause among the reincarnates.
"Holy shit, there's even a reward for helping our own people?"
"No, forget about the Purple Great Guardian. Isn't it something only the Ten Surnames can obtain? Who got this?"
"Apparently, Brother Er Gou borrowed it from the Netherworld using Miss Red Wine's Yin-Yang Gourd..."
"..."
"That makes sense!"
"..."
"Sense my ass..."
Amidst the commotion, someone exclaimed, "That's the Purple Great Guardian! With this, we won't need to hide anymore!"
"With the situation we've created, how can we possibly justify using such a precious item?"
"Do we really have to go as far as kidnapping Lady Meng?"
"..."
"..."
At this moment, Hu Ma and Er Gou didn't realize that the appearance of the Purple Great Guardian had given a boost to the reincarnators above, who were already in a frenzy.
After all, if they were to simply think about it, they both felt that there were too few reincarnators crossing the bridge. In theory, even if they had the courage to cause trouble, it would only result in chaos, and they wouldn't dare harm the ten surnames.
However, at this moment, the two of them also fell into a cognitive trap. Sometimes, one's ability and capacity for troublemaking are not directly proportional.
"Is he using the Purple Great Guardian?"
The Meng family patriarch, upon realizing this critical issue, was angrier than ever.
With a glance, he saw Er Gou using the Yin-Yang Dual Landscape Compass as protection, heading towards the City of the Wrongly Dead to retrieve the Purple Great Guardian. But on top of his anger, he felt a surge of humiliation: "He dares to look down on me like this. Even at this moment, he still has the nerve to think about that thing?"
"Your Hu family doesn't lack this!"
"..."
Right now, he was facing an unprecedented dilemma. The numerous messenger ghosts coming down from above indicated that the trouble above had grown so immense that even his wife and descendants couldn't control it.
He had to decide whether to go up and take charge or stay and capture the malevolent spirit. Countless messenger ghosts were anxiously awaiting his decision, but he knew he had no choice.
He couldn't leave! The situation above was too chaotic, and he couldn't abandon the Great Ancestor.
As a spirit bearer, he had to act like one, even though he was the patriarch of the Meng family, one of the ten surnames with ghost communication abilities.
The Great Ancestor was still here, and his excitement hadn't subsided. He didn't have the ability to send the Great Ancestor away, nor did he have the courage. Even after inviting the Great Ancestor, if he dared to capture the Hu family's little dog, it would be a breach of rules.
As a spirit bearer, his entire cultivation was meant to serve the Great Ancestor.
If he lost focus and damaged his cultivation, unable to support the Great Ancestor, disaster would befall him!
"I'll do whatever it takes. You must capture that malevolent spirit below and bring him to me. If he escapes, bring me his head!"
In his anger, he waved his sleeve, sweeping aside the ghosts that had climbed down from the ropes. Even the ropes themselves curled upwards rapidly due to his fury.
On the well curb of the Meng family mansion, the hemp ropes bounced up, knocking over a circle of servants. Seeing the tangled ropes, the prepared servant boy didn't dare go down.
"Master... Master is angry. No one from above is allowed to disturb him..."
"..."
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
At this moment, others were unaware, but Zhang Family's Third Uncle, who had just been whipped by those from above, couldn't hold back. He couldn't comprehend why the Meng family patriarch had suddenly turned his attention to the City of the Wrongly Dead.
"You... shouldn't you focus on the spirit summoning platform first? Quickly ask your Great Ancestor to retract his spiritual power!"
"..."
'If I had such great abilities, would I need you to tell me?'
Hearing this, the Meng family patriarch became even more annoyed. His thoughts were far more complex than what Zhang Family's Third Uncle could imagine:
'This disaster was brought upon by the Zhang family. How did the Meng family end up bearing the consequences?'
'Moreover, it seems that the Hu family dug this pit. What could be more important than capturing him?'
'...'
Currently, he was a malevolent soul, and it would be simple to make Zhang Family's Third Uncle understand his intentions. All he needed to do was look into the other's eyes, and his thoughts would be conveyed without words.
But he wouldn't say anything. At this moment, his doubts were growing, even suspecting a conspiracy between the Zhang and Hu families to deceive the Meng family.
As for Zhang Family's Third Uncle, seeing that he was being ignored, his suspicions intensified: 'The Meng family, born from kowtowing, is indeed incapable. They're just a useless bunch. Who would believe that the Meng family patriarch couldn't handle two small malevolent spirits?'
'Could it be, could it be that they're intentionally letting it slide, intending to harm my Zhang family?'
'...'
'...'
At the bottom of the City of the Wrongly Dead, Er Gou saw the Meng family's shadow soldiers and generals all heading towards him. His heart was filled with urgency.
"Don't the Meng family have a sense of the bigger picture?"
"You deal with that old green tea first. I just came down to retrieve something. Why are you putting up a fight?"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"..."
But seeing the endless waves of shadow soldiers and generals pressing down from above, even with the protection of the Yin-Yang Dual Landscape Compass, he didn't feel at ease.
Gritting his teeth, he stepped on the Celestial Steps, drawing in the air with empty hands to face the countless shadow soldiers and generals. Suddenly, he stepped out in a circle, then stomped hard, and countless flags shot up into the sky from the surrounding darkness.
Er Gou stood amidst the flags, like a sovereign, pointing and commanding.
