Chapter 356: Chapter 244: Are You That Little White Rabbit?_2
However, he knew very well…
There must be many Yin spirits and malevolent beings watching him nearby, and most importantly… among these Yin spirits and malevolent beings, there was a Mountain Ghost at the “Ghost King” realm!
He smiled faintly and said, “I wonder what it could be… turns out it’s just a Mountain Ghost. A mere Mountain Ghost dares to act presumptuously in front of me, Xu Yang. Don’t you know… nowadays, the ghosts and goblins circle in Xi Xia is under my jurisdiction?”
“Ding!”
“Mountain Ghost receives a fright, merit points +100, constitution +1, Land Spirit Skill +1.”
“Ding!”
“Mountain Ghost receives fright, merit points +100, constitution +1, Land Spirit Skill +1.”
“Ding…”
A series of system prompts sounded. Xu Yang understood that the Mountain Ghost was frightened. He then changed his tone and sternly shouted, “Stealthily lurking, why don’t you come out and see me?”
With a flip of his hand, a Daoist talisman appeared in his palm.
He then threw the talisman casually, which ignited and rose. Instantly, a cluster of thunderclouds several acres in size condensed in the sky, and a few thunderbolts fell down with a rumble!
“Ahhhh!!!”
“Heavenly thunder!”
“We’re going to die, we’re going to die… It’s really Daoist Xu Yang with the Iron Hammer!”
“He can summon thunder… Run, brothers!”
For a moment, cries of panic echoed all over the mountains. Elusive ghost shadows scattered in fear, stirring up gusts of Yin wind. The system prompts in Xu Yang’s mind went off one after another. Just by releasing one “Wulei Talisman,” he had nearly 10,000 merit points!
As these Yin spirits and malevolent beings fled in all directions, the clouds and fog that had originally enveloped the area gradually dissipated, and the visibility in the mountains visibly improved.
Ma Sanpao and his two companions were dumbfounded!
They knew how powerful Xu Yang was and knew about his fame in the “ghost world.” There were even rumors in the Spirits Management Bureau that a ghost had called the police for help, just because he was scared by Xu Yang!
But rumors were just rumors. Only when they witnessed it with their own eyes could they truly experience the shock!
People have names, trees have shadows!
This saying was perfectly embodied in Xu Yang!
Ahead in the woods.
A three-meter-tall ghost with a body like rock and a ferocious face carefully crawled out from behind a big tree and knelt on the ground eighty meters away, saying, “Master Xu, I didn’t mean any harm. I was just following my mistress’s orders to watch over the tree demon granny. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Please don’t be angry. I’ll leave right away.”
As he said that.
With a shake of his body, he turned into a yellowish light and plunged into the ground!
“Wait!”
Xu Yang spoke, and the Mountain Ghost, who had disappeared, came out from the ground again, cautiously asking, “Does Master Xu have any other orders?”
“Come a little closer.”
Xu Yang waved his hand and said, “I have something to ask you.”
Mountain Ghost: “Master Xu, just say the word, I’ll answer anything I know.”
Xu Yang’s face darkened, and his voice cooled: “I said come closer!”
Mountain Ghost trembled: “I…I won’t go closer. I’m afraid you’ll kill me!”
Whoosh!
In Xu Yang’s hand, the large iron hammer appeared out of thin air.
The Mountain Ghost transformed into a yellow light and landed at Xu Yang’s feet. Looking up at Xu Yang, he smiled obsequiously, “Master Xu, I’ve come. Please speak!”
“……”
Ma Sanpao and his two companions’ expressions were numb.
This ghost…
Has a powerful aura!
Although it had been subdued, the intangible pressure it brought them was even greater than that of Chen Jingzhou!
Chen Jingzhou was a peak martial grandmaster… which meant that this ghost was very likely at the Ghost King realm.
Yet, a Ghost King was so submissive in front of Xu Yang?
“Stop your damn grinning!”
Xu Yang glared at the Mountain Ghost’s smile and angrily said, “Don’t you know how you look like?”
The Mountain Ghost had skin like rock and a pitch-black face, with fangs at the corner of his mouth. His charming smile was indeed somewhat uncomfortable to look at. Upon hearing Xu Yang’s words, he immediately stopped smiling.
Xu Yang asked, “You’re a Mountain Ghost, a spirit of the mountains. You should be very familiar with Helan Mountain… I ask you, do you know where the Xi Xia treasure is hidden?”
“Xi Xia treasure?”
Mountain Ghost said, “Master Xu, you must have learned about the Xi Xia treasure from Crown Princess Su, right?”
Xu Yang was displeased, “You don’t need to worry about where I heard it from, just tell me where the Xi Xia treasure is!”
The Mountain Ghost hastily replied, “I was born in Helan Mountain and am familiar with every mountain, stone, grass, and tree in it. Indeed, I know about the Xi Xia treasure… it was a secret treasure cave built by Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xi Xia, in Helan Mountain. It contains numerous treasures… but… but…”
He paused, then said, “I don’t know the precise situation inside the treasure chamber… The entrance to the treasure chamber is guarded by the tree demon granny, so there’s no way for me to get in.”
“Tree demon granny?”
Xu Yang had just heard the Mountain Ghost mention this name and asked again, “What kind of person is the Tree Demon Granny? Why are there so many Yin spirits, malevolent beings, and monsters in Helan Mountain? As far as I know… the king of Helan Mountain is the Huishan Demon, isn’t it?”
“Here is a small rat, what merit and ability is it worthy of being the king of Helan Mountain?”
The Mountain Ghost looked down on the “Huishan Demon” and said, “It only awakened earlier, that’s all. Not to mention the Snake King in the Spiritual Serpent Cave, there are many other powerful beings slumbering in Helan Mountain. The Huishan Demon is insignificant!”
Xu Yang became interested.
Helan Mountain had always been mysterious; its “rock paintings” were one of the world’s unsolved mysteries, dating back to thirty-four thousand years ago.
