Chapter 609 Welcoming Guests
"You..." The woman clenched her fists, forcibly suppressing her anger. The yin energy around her softened slightly. "Have you really seen Gu Bei?"
Ye Yang said calmly, "Not only have I seen her, but I've also fought her. At that time, she wanted to break through the Ao Xue Sect to find a coffin suppressed beneath it."
"Silly girl! She really went!" The woman muttered to herself, "I told her a long time ago, don't trust anyone."
The woman suddenly looked up and said, "Can you tell me what happened then?"
Ye Yang briefly described what happened at the time. The yin energy around the woman erupted again. "Bastards! They dared to use the Zhan Qing Zhen (Severing Love Formation). Damn bastards..."
As the woman howled, the doors and windows in the room shattered, and the sound of ghosts echoed throughout the village.
After a long while, the woman calmed down. "Let me out. What conditions do you want?"
"Help me slaughter the Paper Doll Village!" Ye Yang's voice was filled with murderous intent.
The woman's voice sank. "You're not sent by the Paper Doll Village? Do you have a grudge against them?"
"No grudge! But they want to scheme against my brothers." Ye Yang's face was expressionless, and his eyes met the woman's without flinching.
He was telling her that there was no room for negotiation regarding his conditions.
The woman took a deep breath. "I can't promise you this. Before I get the secret of the living puppet, the Paper Doll Village cannot be destroyed."
The woman explained before Ye Yang could speak, "My name is Zhi Nan, and her name is Gu Bei. I think I don't need to say more about our relationship, right?"
"Gu Bei shouldn't have become a corpse demon in the first place. She was a simple little术士 (Shu Shi, Taoist). Those people forced her to become the Sect's Tian Guan (Heavenly Barrier), ha..."
Zhi Nan sneered, her murderous aura rising. "The reason I want to create living puppets is for Gu Bei, to let Gu Bei put down her zombie body and live again. That is the meaning of my being alive."
"So..."
"Farewell!" Ye Yang turned and walked out without saying a word.
Zhi Nan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yang. "Wait a moment."
Ye Yang looked at her coldly. "There must be equivalent exchange."
Zhi Nan's voice sank. "If you don't release me, I guarantee you won't leave this village."
This time, Ye Yang didn't even speak. The light of the sword in his hand burst out instantly, splitting the figure in front of him in half.
He stepped over the corpse, and Wang Tufu said as she walked, "Your puppetry skills are indeed lacking. The puppet was cut open, and not a drop of blood flowed out, indicating that she is still a corpse. A living puppet should be no different from a living person, right?"
Wang Tufu was deliberately provoking Zhi Nan, but there wasn't even a sound from the Mo family's mansion, as if Zhi Nan had been sent away by Ye Yang, and there was no longer Zhi Nan's existence in the village.
However, after Ye Yang took a few steps, the lights in a row of houses in front of him lit up in an instant, and all the doors opened simultaneously.
Ye Yang and Wang Tufu couldn't see the scene inside the courtyard through the courtyard wall, but they could hear people walking out.
Before long, the entire row of courtyard doors opened one after another, and the couplets at the door fluttered under the pull of the yin wind, facing Ye Yang.
Each household walked out a person, half-covering their bodies with the door piers, standing behind the pale couplets, and showing a sneer in Ye Yang's direction.
More than twenty people spoke at the same time, "I told you, you can't leave."
Wang Tufu lifted the hem of her cheongsam and pulled out a bone-chopping knife from her leg. "It's just a Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests, what can it do to me?"
Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests refers to the dead leaning half-way out of the door, inviting passersby to enter.
In the past, Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests was in the wilderness, but now it is in the corridor.
During the time when I and Ye Yang went out to take on missions, Zhao Yue Zhu and the others received a small job, which was Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests.
The client at the time said that he clearly saw his family members enter the door upstairs, but he couldn't wait for them to return. He searched up and down the building several times, but couldn't see where his family members had gone.
It wasn't until a few hours later that his family members came back on their own, but their faces were frighteningly pale, and they said they didn't remember anything when asked.
Qin Xin and Zhao Yue Zhu used secret methods, and the man remembered that when he went upstairs at night, he saw a woman in the stairwell sticking half of her body out of the doorway, smiling and waving at him.
He didn't know that the owner of that house had been dead for more than half a month. He walked in inexplicably, and later, he didn't remember anything.
This is Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests!
That client was considered lucky. He only lost some yang energy and suffered a serious illness.
If he encountered a truly powerful ghost, he might become a member of that family, living in a house without living people with the greeter.
For a術士 (Shu Shi, Taoist), it is not difficult to break Ghost Gate Welcoming Guests. As long as they enter the house, they can get the job done.
However, no術士 (Shu Shi, Taoist) has ever seen rows of ghosts waving and welcoming guests.
The moment Wang Tufu drew her knife, the figures standing at the entrance raised their hands together, waving their arms neatly at her. "Come! Come... come on!"
Cold sweat suddenly seeped from Wang Tufu's forehead. She felt her own soul trembling slightly under the other party's greeting.
