Chapter 200 I want to offend 4 people
Before going to the county magistrate's mansion, Chu Yu took another walk around the city.
It was very strange that after one night, the cracks outside the city became more and more numerous, as if they were coming for me.
Sensing Chu Yu's breath, the ground somewhere began to crack again. This time, the speed was very fast, spreading directly into the city without stopping at all.
Chu Yu hurriedly moved away, and then the crack stopped and there was no more movement.
The wooden comb at her waist felt uneasy in the face of such power. She asked in surprise, "What is this?"
"You don't know either?" Chu Yu was a little surprised. These cracks had followed her from outside the city. In addition, Boss Yang had said before that it was very dangerous outside the city. Chu Yu thought that she was entangled by some ghost cultivator active outside the city.
Now it seems that even ghosts don’t know how this crack came about.
"I don't know. There is no evil aura on it." Without the same kind of aura, the matchmaker ghost immediately denied the source of the crack.
Chu Yu shrugged helplessly. Could it be that he would cause an earthquake?
Since these cracks had nothing to do with the ghost cultivators and they didn't seem to want to destroy the county city, Chu Yu ignored them.
When we arrived at the county governor's mansion, it was covered with some useless talismans, which seemed to have been scattered by the people of Pingyuan County.
Could it be that they were praying that these talismans could strengthen the runes of the county governor's mansion? It was obvious that after the county governor disappeared, they tried every possible way to protect themselves.
The four ghost kings did not come to destroy the rune formation. It seemed that they were intentionally using the human cultivators' protection formation to cultivate the ability of their ghost cultivators to plunder the souls of the living.
What is very interesting is that, apart from sending their men to capture living people for them, the four ghost kings never seemed to have appeared openly in front of the people of Pingyuan County, otherwise the people of Pingyuan County would not have been alive until now.
This is not to say that they are kind, but all this actually verifies Chu Yu's idea.
They really are using living people to feed low-level ghost cultivators.
They don't care about the lives of these people, they just keep them alive and train their subordinates who can't even gather into a single shape. The fighting between the ghost cultivators is too brutal, but they seem to be able to reach a consensus on the matter of devouring living people.
If the person behind the scenes finds out that Chu Yu is a threat to the ghost cultivators, then the lives of these people may in turn become a tool for them to threaten Chu Yu.
This adds another element of uncertainty to Chu Yu's implementation of his next plan.
"Act quickly and do it in one go." Chu Yu muttered to himself. All the following actions must be done at lightning speed to achieve the goal before they can react.
Taking a look at this somewhat damaged rune formation, Chu Yu knew that once he started repairing it, it would be equivalent to informing all the ghost cultivators in the city of his arrival, which meant that every subsequent step could not be wrong.
Without further ado, she observed the rune formation. It had been eroded by the evil spirit and was in a mess. It had caused the people of Pingyuan County to suffer too much damage from the evil spirit.
This rune followed the earth veins, like a big net, spreading out from the county governor's mansion and cleverly covering the entire city.
Chu Yu raised his hand and made a seal, and powerful and pure power was instantly injected into the rune formation.
Chu Yu's power inevitably replaced the original county magistrate's power and spread throughout the city along the runes.
"Being a county magistrate is really a high-risk job, don't you think, Chu Yu?" Shenhun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the desolate and silent mansion around him.
Chu Yu was too busy to reply to her, so he just raised his hand and added a barrier and drew a shield on the basis of the original rune.
The location of the County Magistrate's Mansion is at the center of the land veins in Pingyuan County, which saves Chu Yu a lot of trouble.
With a thought in mind, Chu Yu finally raised his hand, concentrated his mind and held his breath, and used his mysterious energy to draw a teleportation talisman.
As soon as it was drawn, the power of the teleportation talisman spread throughout the city along the earth veins, but it was not activated, and the people were not teleported into the county magistrate's mansion. Chu Yu had his own considerations for this teleportation.
Compared to when he was still in Qingqiu County, Chu Yu had advanced two small realms. After completing all these, he was not as tired as before, but it was still exhausting.
Almost at the same time, the howling of ghosts was heard in the city. The sound spread to every corner of the city. Some were shrill, some were sad, but more were angry.
Seeing this, Shenhun asked Chu Yu with concern: "What are you going to do next? Those ghost kings will definitely notice what's going on, and they're probably going to come looking for you."
"You're right," Chu Yu knew this very well, so she came up with a solution that surprised Shenhun: "So I'm going to save them the effort and go find them."
Needless to say, the Thousand Faces Scholar will be found when the wedding procession arrives. The tomb keeper is not in a hurry either, as he can see him by following the funeral procession.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu took out the matchmaker ghost from the wooden comb and asked:
"Where is the woman in the tree?"
"You...what do you want to see her for?"
The matchmaker ghost was frightened by the noise Chu Yu made. When he heard that she was going to look for the girl in the tree, he was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Just say it." Chu Yu increased the strength of his hands. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with her.
"Liu...Liu Mansion..." Faced with the threat, the matchmaker ghost dared not say anything.
Liu Mansion?
Chu Yu had never expected that such a dangerous Ghost King was so close to the people of Pingyuan County. Qingqing said that the Liu Mansion was the most haunted. Was it because of the Woman in the Tree?
Could it be that the death of the girl in the tree is related to Liu Qin?
After thinking about it, she felt that something was not right. This was a ghost king. If she had a grudge against them, she would definitely not let the Liu family live well under her nose.
Could it be that, in other words, she was placed there by the person behind the scenes? Could it be that she was asked to guard something there?
Thinking about the relationship between the Liu family and the Qingliu Sect, Chu Yu felt that there must be something in the Liu family that was worth exploring, so he had to find an opportunity to go there.
Qingliu Sect is not far from Pingyuan County, but it is impossible to go outside the city now, and those strange cracks will chase me.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened!
"How could that be? There is still an hour left."
The matchmaker ghost appeared at this time, and she looked at Chu Yu with a sad face: "The dark night has arrived early, they are coming to find you."
As if she knew what was going to happen, the matchmaker ghost was not so afraid of Chu Yu anymore. She seemed to be thinking about how to escape. In her opinion, Chu Yu could not face four ghost kings at the same time.
But she still had to say nice things. She wanted to describe the various ghost kings as particularly terrifying so that this woman would want to back off and not follow her into the bridal sedan, allowing her to escape unscathed.
She really didn't want to stay with this dangerous living person anymore!
"Girl, listen to my advice. The Woman in the Tree is not someone you can afford to offend. Although she is not the strongest among the Ghost Kings, she is the most violent and murderous one!"
"She has almost no reason, and does not know pain or fear. She disdains to use curses because she does not need to gain satisfaction from the fear and despair of others. Only brutal killing can satisfy her resentment."
"You know, apart from those three, almost no ghost cultivators are willing to go to Liu Mansion. Even... Xiu... that one, you know, although that one is stronger, she would also find Liu Mansion troublesome. That place is very troublesome."
"Don't think of any other ideas. The horror of these ghost kings is beyond your imagination."
After saying so much in one breath, Chu Yu really thought that the matchmaker ghost was thinking about him.
But if I don't get on the bridal sedan, how can I implement my next plan?
The matchmaker ghost's desire to escape was written all over her face, but she thought she was disguising herself well.
Chu Yu didn't listen to her at all. Thinking that this matchmaker ghost would follow him to do the things that happened next, Chu Yu felt that he was going a bit too far. He hoped that she wouldn't be frightened to death.
"Then let me ask another question, where are the embroidered shoes?"
Hearing Chu Yu blatantly mention the name of the embroidered shoes, the matchmaker ghost was so scared that he wanted to cover her mouth.
"She's everywhere. She might be here any second. Don't say anything."
Chu Yu seemed to not understand what he was saying, and continued to ask: "You mean, if I say embroidered shoes, she will come?"
"Or will she not come if I don't mention the embroidered shoes?"
"If I say embroidered shoes and someone else also says embroidered shoes, who will she go to?"
The sound of the embroidered shoes over and over again made the matchmaker ghost extremely upset. She interrupted with a sad look on her face, "Auntie, what on earth are you doing?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask if you have seen a pair of embroidered shoes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the matchmaker ghost suddenly disappeared from Chu Yu's sight, and she quickly got into the wooden comb.
Although she disappeared, the chilly feeling around her had not disappeared, and was even stronger.
Feeling a chill from the inside out, Chu Yu began to walk towards the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.
It was obvious that Chu Yu was the only one being taken away at this time, but he seemed to hear a footstep that overlapped with his own.
Chu Yu took a quick glance back and saw two spots of red on the ground, so he turned back in a hurry.
"Speak of the devil and he will appear." The curse on the embroidered shoes was really efficient, but Chu Yu felt that after tonight, she would not want to experience such fast and thoughtful service a second time.
