The Ghost King Steals Peaches

Sun Tiecheng forced Gui Jianchou to go to Sage Peak, threatening to beat him if he refused.

A'Xiong, standing nearby, urged Gui Jianchou, "Go on, but you have to keep the egg."

Gui Jianchou had no choice but to agree, "Lord of the city, I will go. Please lift the spell."

Sun Tiecheng smiled, put down the Red Lotus and said, "I didn't use any magic. You can move as you please."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gui Jianchou was able to move.

Gui Jianchou was completely helpless against Sun Tiecheng.

After quickly packing his luggage, Gui Jianchou set off, and Sun Tiecheng saw him off outside the courtyard.

"Lord, please don't see me off."

Sun Tiecheng said with a serious expression, "We have to send you off. Sage Peak is so dangerous. If you go there, you might not come back. We might never see you again."

Gui Jianchou a bitter smile, "Thank you for your kindness, City Lord, but please don't bother seeing me off."

Sun Tiecheng was very reluctant to part with you. "We've spent so many days together, and I've really developed a bond with you. I definitely have to see you off."

Gui Jianchou looked up at the sky, his face filled with fear, and said, "City Lord, please don't see me off."

"What's wrong?" Sun Tiecheng looked up and a beam of light descended from the sky, shining directly on Sun Tiecheng.

The sunlight has shone through.

Gui Jianchou was so frightened that he ran several feet away, while Sun Tiecheng remained standing there in a daze.

Before long, the halo dissipated, Sun Tiecheng squatted down on the ground with both hands. "There really is sunlight, this Red Lotus is the real deal."

He had just touched the Red Lotus when the sunlight suddenly shone upon it.

"It's my fault for being so careless," Sun Tiecheng slapped his forehead. "This Red Lotus can't be touched directly. I used methods before, how could I forget today?"

With Sun Tiecheng's cultivation level, being exposed to the light of day once wouldn't necessarily cost him his life. Gui Jianchou said, "City Lord, you should rest for a while and let your Dao Affinity dissipate."

"Should I vent my Dao Affinity?" Sun Tiecheng touched his flesh and bones. "I don't necessarily have much Dao Affinity, but I do have a lot of temper. I really need to vent it."

As he spoke, Sun Tiecheng stretched his back and looked at Gui Jianchou.

Gui Jianchou's face tightened, and he took a few steps back, saying, "City Lord, do you want to vent your anger?"

"Hmm!" Sun Tiecheng's eyes lit up as he stared at Gui Jianchou. "City Lord, I'm going to Sage Peak right now. I won't come back to see you until this matter is finished!" Gui Jianchou took off running.

"What's the rush? Wait until I've calmed down before you leave!" Sun Tiecheng wanted to chase Gui Jianchou, but suddenly his body trembled.

"This fire is really fierce. I need to find my sweetheart to fix it." Sun Tiecheng waved his hand, Red Lotus went back into the drawer. He walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At Bastard Slope, in Jingde Village, several DaoLao Ghost were playing dice and gambling at the village entrance.

Gui Jianchou was puzzled. DaoLao Ghost shouldn't have such high intelligence, so how come it has learned to have fun?

DaoLao Ghost is a special kind of creature. Although it is called a ghost, it is not a ghost. The methods of demonic cultivators are of no use to them.

Gui Jianchou summoned a Sleep Cultivator Ghost Servant. The Ghost Servant silently approached DaoLao Ghost and placed a bet of two silver dollars DaoLao Ghost first looked at the Ghost Servant, then at the two silver dollars, and felt his eyelids getting heavy. He then fell asleep.

While DaoLao Ghost was asleep, Gui Jianchou used his Spiritual Object to trap them.

A'Xiong chimed in, "Master, let's just kill them! They're a menace!"

Gui Jianchou frowned and said, "I know you're not good at handling things. We're here to find Taozi, not to fight over a mountain stronghold. If things go wrong, we need to leave room for maneuver and not let the feud become irreconcilable."

Once inside the village, they settled down with a farmer. Gui Jianchou then summoned a Ghost Servant was a combination of a theatrical cultivator and a thief.

The technique of stitching together Ghost Servant is called Soul Vein Grafting, Cloud Above Skill. The Ghost Servant created by this connection are of two types: one with Vein to Vein Connection and the other with Single Vein Life.

"Vein to Vein Connection" means a Ghost Servant carries multiple consciousnesses, while "Single Vein Life" means a Ghost Servant retains only one consciousness.

This Ghost Servant has only one consciousness, named A'Zhong.

Gui Jianchou instructed, "A'Zhong, disguise yourself as DaoLao Ghost and go to Sage Peak to bring me the Golden Thorn Peach."

A'Zhong looked at Gui Jianchou: "Master, you want me to go alone?"

Gui Jianchou said, "With too many people, mistakes are likely to happen. I'm sending you because I trust you!"

"I can't do it alone—"

A'Xiong angrily retorted, "What do you mean, 'no'? We've been training soldiers for a thousand days to use them for one. How can you make excuses now? Do you think you're worthy of your master's investment of his time and resources?"

A'Zhong glared at A'Xiong. He had previously scolded A'Xiong for being useless, but A'Xiong was making up for it here.

Seeing that Gui Jianchou to lose his temper, A'Zhong had no choice but to go to Sage Peak by himself.

Sage Peak is the main peak, the original residence of the sage.

Under Cui Tike's command, the DaoLao Ghost demolished the Sage's Residence and built a huge altar.

The altar enshrines three deities: the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators on the left, the DaoLao War God on the right, and the Plague Overlord in the center.

Cui Tike first led a group of DaoLao Ghost to worship the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators on the left. The statue of the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators was exactly the same as that of the Green Water Bow.

After paying homage to the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators, we then worshipped the DaoLao War God on the right. The statue of the DaoLao War God is exactly the same as Wan Jinxian's.

Is DaoLao Ghost's carving skill really that high?

Of course not, these two statues are Green Water Bow and Wan Puxian.

They certainly didn't want to be statues here obediently, but they were afflicted with the Petrification Disease of Cui Tike, and most of their bodies turned to stone, with only a few organs still functioning.

Cui Tike offered sacrifices to the two gods, who were each assigned a priest who fed them and cleaned their bodies.

Having worshipped the two secondary gods, now it is time to worship the main god.

The statue of the main god was shrouded in mist. Cui Tike took out a Folding Fan, waved it twice, and dispersed the mist.

The statue of the main god appeared, and all the DaoLao Ghost lowered their heads.

This statue of the chief god was sculpted by Cui Tike himself; it consists of six triangular pyramids and six spheres.

No one can accurately describe its shape. The shape of the statue changes every second it is looked at, and if it is looked at for more than five seconds, it will be infected with petrification disease.

DaoLao Ghost, infected with petrification disease, will be placed next to Green Water Bow and Fang Puxian, becoming two followers of the gods.

The sacrificial ceremony follows the traditional rituals of Pro State, involving three kneelings and nine kowtows, requiring more than seventy kneelings and more than two hundred kowtows.

The rituals were designed by Cui Tike because he found that the rituals in Pro State were more strict and binding.

Controlling such a large number of DaoLao Ghost was a serious challenge for Cui Tike, and the rituals of Pro State were clearly more effective.

After the ritual, the DaoLao Ghost should be given enough space to relax.

Cui Tike built a huge dance hall, purchased a large number of musical instruments, and completed planting and hunting tasks. To the wild and unrestrained music of the Amican West, the DaoLao Ghost began a three-hour-long revelry every day.

The dance hall is divided into two camps: one group of DaoLao Ghost worships the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators, and the other group of DaoLao Ghost worships the DaoLao War God. The two groups of DaoLao Ghost often clash during the revelry, Cui Tike generally takes a laissez-faire attitude towards such conflicts.

A certain degree of conflict is good for Cui Tike. If the two sides stop fighting, then Cui Tike will be in trouble because they will unite to resist this newly appointed leader.

Today's celebration included an extra segment: the DaoLao Ghost welcomed a new member—a spirit that looked very much like DaoLao Ghost, yet was not one.

This new member was so well hidden that Cui Tike and the other DaoLao Ghost were initially unable to identify him.

As the revelry reached its final stage, the male and female DaoLao Ghost embraced and danced, while A'Zhong, the Ghost Servant disguised as DaoLao Ghost,

He finally revealed his ignorance because he was not familiar with the rules of the revelry.

In the early stages of the carnival, the two factions do their own thing. In the middle stages, they start challenging each other. In the later stages, they engage in fierce conflict. But in the final stage of the DaoLao Ghost, the two factions break down the faction boundaries and dance together.

A'Zhong was unaware of the local rules. He refused to dance with the women from the opposing camp, and he refused several women in a row.

Cui Tike discovered the anomaly and ordered the DaoLao Ghost to seize the undead and bring him before the Plague Overlord for judgment.

The so-called judgment is to look directly at the idol of God.

The petrification disease can infect the dead. A'Zhong could sense the power of this statue. He stood before it, head held high, eyes closed, and shouted loudly at Cui Tike:

"I'm a tough guy, a ruthless man in life, and a vengeful ghost in death. My master sent me here to find the Golden Thorn Peach. He's waiting for me in Jingde Village at the foot of the mountain. I won't reveal a single word about anything else!"

Cui Tike instructed, "Go to Jingde Village and meet our guests."

A'Zhong walked confidently ahead of the group. "I will not lead the way for you. I just want to get back to my master as soon as possible."

A'Zhong got his wish and soon returned to Gui Jianchou's side.

Seeing DaoLao Ghost surrounded by a large group, Gui Jianchou really wanted to annihilate A'Zhong, but he held back.

It's human nature to be afraid of death. If A'Zhong is given such a dangerous mission, A'Zhong will surrender immediately if the mission fails. This is an outcome that Gui Jianchou can foresee.

Besides, executing A'Zhong now would be useless; the most urgent task is to break through the encirclement.

Gui Jianchou had a Ghost Servant skilled in flight observe the overall situation of the encirclement. He selected a relatively weak point and prepared to break through.

Cui Tike was right outside the farmer's house. He knew that Gui Jianchou was not someone to be trifled with. If they were to surround and kill him with all their might...

DaoLao Ghost will suffer considerable losses. Of course, if Gui Jianchou can be captured, another powerful force will be added to Sage Peak.

After some deliberation, Cui Tike first spoke with Gui Jianchou: "Stranger, what is your purpose in stealing the Golden Thorn Peach? Is it to use it to concoct poison to harm people?"

Cui Tike recognized Gui Jianchou; they had met on Sage Peak. But now, Gui Cui Tike couldn't recognize Gui Jianchou at all.

Judging from the question asked, the leader of the DaoLao Ghost a type of demon) seems to have a certain moral standard. Gui Jianchou replied to the farmer, "I came to find the Golden Thorn Peach, not to harm people, but to use it in medicine to treat illnesses."

Upon hearing about healing, the DaoLao Ghost, who believed in the Ancestor of Disease Cultivators, became extremely angry and let out a uniform, low hiss outside the farmhouse.

Gui Jianchou felt a tingling sensation in his chest. He knew that the roar was powerful and he could not wait any longer. He had to fight to the death to break through.

Cui Tike stopped the DaoLao Ghost and shouted at the farmer, "I'll give you some Golden Thorn Peach. Take the peaches to make medicine. Come back here next time and let me see your medicine and see what kind of therapeutic effect it has."

Two DaoLao Ghost threw a bag of Golden Thorn Peach into the courtyard, Gui Jianchou had his Ghost Servant bring the peaches in.

Golden Thorn Peach is a precious ingredient for Pill Refining and also a valuable medicinal herb. Gui Jianchou, so he naturally wouldn't mistake it.

Cui Tike made way for DaoLao Ghost and Gui Jianchou.

Gui Jianchou walked out of the farmhouse, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cui Tike, and said, "The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow forever. I will remember this kindness today. When we meet again, I will certainly not be lacking in courtesy. Farewell!"

Gui Jianchou left, Cui Tike led the DaoLao Ghost back to the main peak. Because their mood had been dampened by the Ghost Servant, Cui Tike added an extra hour to the revelry.

In the office, Li Banfeng sipped his tea and quietly watched Du Wenming.

Du Wenming's previous attitude was very firm, only agreeing to one condition of Li Qi: to waive the shipping fee.

But now, Du Wenming's attitude has changed.

Because Li Qi kept dragging his feet, if he continued like this, the promotion would be ruined.

"Five thousand," Du Wenming offered a new price. "I'll immediately call for instructions from above. As long as it's confirmed that the Inner State won't go to war, this matter is practically a sure thing."

"Five thousand won't do, and neither will a sure thing," Li Banfeng stated clearly. "Ten thousand is the bottom line. We need to see the person first before we get anything done."

Du Wenming disliked Li Qi's negotiation style, but ultimately agreed.

As agreed by both parties, Li Qi first went to the Soda Kiln to negotiate, and after obtaining the other party's intention to cease hostilities, he notified Du Wenming.

Du Wenming submitted a request to hand over 10,000 men to Li Qi, Li Qi would then obtain a substantive commitment to a ceasefire.

Once the matter was settled, Li Banfeng immediately set off for the Soda Kiln.

Negotiations are unnecessary; Li Banfeng had already reached an agreement with Luo Lijun and obtained the deed. The main purpose of this trip to Soda Kiln was to hand over the new land to Ma Wu.

Li Banfeng had long wanted to give Ma Wu a new piece of land, but a new plot of land with complete deeds was extremely dangerous. Even with He Yuxiu's cultivation at the Cloud Realm level, it would be very difficult for her to guard the land. As for Ma Wu's current cultivation level, even if he brought all his family's belongings with him...

There was no possibility of defending the territory.

Fortunately, Ma Wu still Feng Daiku. Li Qi and Ma Wu offered very generous terms, but Feng Daiku refused. Her reason for refusing was that managing Belt Ridge and the Soda Kiln had already taken up too much of her energy, and she had no energy left to manage a new place.

Energy isn't the main issue; the main issue is a new piece of land with a complete deed. Too many people will be interested in it, and Feng Daiku he won't be able to hold onto it.

Now that they had Three-Headed People, Feng Daiku had gained some confidence. She agreed to help Ma Wu, and Li Banfeng left them a piece of new land and five thousand three people.

Li Banfeng planned to take the remaining five thousand people to Seven Autumn City.

Qiu Luoye is eating pumpkin at home, one bite at a time, sweet and fragrant.

The tiger called out, "We have guests!"

Qiu Luoye immediately gathered up the pumpkins and picked up the leg of lamb on the table to gnaw on.

Seeing that it was Li Qi, Qiu Luoye was very happy and told Tiger to quickly prepare a feast. The two ate and chatted.

When Li Qi mentioned the Three-Headed People, Qiu Luoye laughed and said, "You don't need to discuss this with me, just send him over directly."

"Brother Qiu, I have a new piece of land here that I'd like you to manage."

Qiu Luoye looked at the map and asked, "This piece of land is about the same size as the one your lover owns, right?"

"Which lover?"

"That one's got a strong physique; she looks like she'd have a lot of children!"

"You mean He Yuxiu?" Li Qi nodded. "Same one, both deeds, both intact."

Qiu Luoye shook his head and said, "I can't help with that, Seventh Brother. I treat you like a younger brother, so let me be honest with you. This piece of land is valuable, but it's different from other new lands. We can't just abandon it, or someone will definitely take it away."

The territory of Seven Autumn City is too vast; I can't even handle the miscellaneous affairs within its borders. If I were to look after the new land for you...

I can't worry about Seven Autumn City anymore.

Qiu Luoye was telling the truth. The first group of pioneers were protected by the Local Earth God, and even after the land became the Proper Land, this protection remained effective. Qiu Luoye did indeed have a lot to deal with.

Li Qi said, "What if we hand this land over to Brother Shui?"

After thinking for a long time, Qiu Luoye shook his head. "Shui Yongquan won't work."

"Are you afraid he won't be able to keep it?"

Qiu Luoye knew Shui Yongquan very well. "This man is quite capable, but too timid. Even if you give him the land, he won't dare to accept it. And even if he does, he might hand it over after being intimidated by the Inner State. So we absolutely cannot give him this place."

"Then who else would be suitable?"

After thinking for a long time, Qiu Luoye said, "You have a lover who knows a lot of characters. Can that girl be trusted?"

"You mean Xiao Yeci?" Li Banfeng shook his head. "She's only a second-tier local, far from being a true Local Earth God!"

"It's far from good enough," Qiu Luoye thought for a moment, then turned to Li Qi and said, "Seventh Brother, why don't you keep such a good piece of land for yourself?"

Li Banfeng said, "I'm Outer State, and I really can't take care of it."

"Then there's no other way but to leave it to that good-for-nothing lover."

Li Banfeng laughed, "Do I have that many lovers? And which one is the disappointing one?"

"The one who's crazy and eccentric."

"You mean Chu Er? Her cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high."

Qiu Luoye smiled and said, "Her cultivation level isn't high, but her foundation is solid. Her master is the Bitter Granny, and her father is Chu Shaoqiang. Not many people dare to provoke her."

Li Banfeng frowned slightly. "Chu Shaoqiang is from Inner State."

Qiu Luoye shook her head and said, "Seventh Brother, there's no need to worry about that. We gave the land to that girl, not to Chu Shaoqiang."

To be honest, I really don't like that girl. She's shrewish, ruthless, and vicious. If you make her your wife, I'll be extremely unhappy. But she's incredibly good to you. She risked her life for you, and I saw it with my own eyes. I'm really at ease leaving the land in her hands.

If you calculate it that way, Chu Er really is the most suitable candidate.

Li Banfeng always felt great drinking with Qiu Luoye. The two of them would toast each other and drink quite a bit, but Qiu Luoye, who was holding a leg of lamb, didn't eat much of the lamb.

"Brother, eat up," Li Banfeng with some concern, "Are you still not fully recovered?"

"It's all done, it's been done for a while now, eat it, eat it!" Qiu Luoye hugged the lamb leg and took a bite, he really didn't like this stuff.

With the destination of Xindi settled, Li Banfeng inquired about Inner State: "Brother Qiu, you mentioned before that purebred Inner State people come in all shapes and sizes. Some look like chickens, ducks, geese, or dogs, while others look like humans. If those that look like humans come to Pro State, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish them, right?"

Qiu Luoye waved his hand and said, "Easy to tell. They look like people, but they're covered in hair and are very big, at least as tall as that tree."

Li Banfeng glanced into the courtyard and saw that the tree Qiu Luoye had mentioned was at least five meters tall.

"So, you mean we can recognize any pure-blooded Inner State?"

"They'll definitely recognize it," Qiu Luoye said in a low voice, even though he was now Proper Land Local Earth God.

But when it came to the Inner State, he was still very cautious. "Let me tell you, brother, in Pro State, if you see a purebred Inner State man, don't rush to deal with him. Go straight to the Peddler. The Peddler will kill one on sight."

Li Banfeng asked, "What if a man from Inner State uses a deception to make himself look like someone from Inner State Pro State?"

"There's no such method!" Qiu Luoye waved her hands repeatedly. "No matter it's Illusion Technique, telekinesis, or disguise, no magic can turn Inner State person into Pro State person. Even if it looks seven or eight parts the same, the flaws will be obvious in the blink of an eye. The Inner State people's Bloodline Seed is far inferior to ours."

Li Banfeng said, "What if there were a type of person from Inner State who could transform themselves into someone from Pro State without us noticing? What would we do then?"

"This is outrageous! This means people from the Inner State have infiltrated!"

"What would be the consequences if people from Inner State were allowed to infiltrate?"

Qiu Luoye put down the lamb leg. "I can't say for sure what the consequences will be. Back when my cultivation was still at the Earthly Realm level, I remember a pure-blooded Inner State person transformed into a house and infiltrated a deserted village in Pro State."

That deserted village was haunted; no one had lived there for years. It started as a single tile-roofed house with a small courtyard, unnoticed in the deserted village. But in less than a month, the house multiplied into two.

There was a vengeful ghost in the deserted village that hadn't left for many years. Because her remains were in the village, she couldn't go far. Seeing that something was wrong, she went around telling people about it. But when people saw the ghost, they were too scared to leave. Who would believe her nonsense?

Two days later, the two tiled houses turned into a courtyard house, and the courtyard house into a large mansion. At first, only this one house changed, but later all the houses in the village followed suit, scaring the vengeful ghost into a benevolent one.

She knelt at the village entrance, kowtowing and begging passersby to take her remains away, but no one was willing to help her. Then one day, Peddler passed by the village, and the vengeful ghost finally found a savior.

I happened to be buying some ointment from Peddler when I overheard this vengeful ghost recount his story. The Peddler got angry and said that this was a woman from Inner State who had come to give birth. He then pushed his cart into the deserted village.

I wanted to go and see what the commotion was like, but the Peddler wouldn't let me. He told me to hide somewhere far away. I hid for less than half an hour...

The Peddler came out, bringing with him the vengeful ghost's remains, and told her to leave quickly.

I was really curious, so after the Peddler left, I went to take a look at the village, only to find that it was gone.

All the houses were gone, even the foundations were completely dug up. I was terrified and never went back to that village.

After hearing Qiu Luoye's description, Li Banfeng became even more puzzled by the life forms in Inner State.

If a house suddenly appears in Pro State, that's still within our control. But if an ordinary person appears in Pro State, how do we defend against that?

We need to tell the Peddler about this right away.

According to the Qiu Luoye's calculations, the Peddler should have arrived at Iron Gate Fort by now.

Li Banfeng was very familiar with this place. He ran to Iron Gate Fort as fast as he could, and after inquiring inside the fort, he learned that the Peddler hadn't been there for the past two days.

"Brother, did the Peddler not come, or did you just not notice?"

Wu Yongchao really didn't dare to make a guarantee, as he rarely went out. "Lord, please don't worry, I'll go ask."

After asking around the fort, they found several other House Cultivator were also waiting to buy things from the Peddler, but they had never actually seen Peddler.

House Cultivator rarely ventured far from the fort; the Peddler probably hadn't reached the vicinity of the fort yet.

Li Banfeng quickly contacted Luo ZhengNan. Previously, when Chen Weixin caused trouble in Iron Gate Fort, Li Banfeng had asked Luo ZhengNan to plant spies in Iron Gate Fort.

"Seventh Master, according to my calculations, the Peddler should indeed have arrived at Iron Gate Fort. I will go and contact our people now. Please wait for my news."

Not long after hanging up, Luo ZhengNan called again, "Seventh Master, we can't get in touch with our people!"

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "When was the last time we contacted them?"

"I contacted him yesterday. A few bandits were causing trouble near the fort, but Wu Yongchao and his men drove them away. I haven't heard from them since."

"What's this guy's name?"

"His surname is Mao, his given name is Mao Caoye, he is in his early twenties, a second-level martial arts practitioner, and he usually disguises himself as a rice seller. He goes to the fortress to do business every day, but lives outside the fortress in East Well Village."

The Peddler has disappeared, and so have Luo ZhengNan's informants. Are these two things related?

Regardless of whether there is any contact, we cannot leave our subordinates unattended.

Li Banfeng first went to East Well Village and found Mao Caoye's place.

Mao Caoye rented a room here and lived in the same courtyard as the landlord. Li Banfeng asked the landlord first, and the landlord replied, "The young man is hardworking. He went out early this morning with his cart. He must have gone to sell rice."

Li Banfeng returned to the fortress and called Wu Yongchao: "Brother, did you see any Mao Caoye today?"

"Who is Mao Caoye?" Wu Yongchao looked completely bewildered.

"He's a rice seller."

"Male or female?"

"Male, in his early twenties."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yongchao knew who it was. He often bought rice from Mao Caoye; Mao Caoye was easygoing.

He never shortchanged anyone, so Wu Yongchao had a very good impression of him, but he never knew his name.

"He came this morning, around 8 o'clock. A lot of people were waiting to buy rice from him, and the rice was sold out before 10 o'clock."

After selling all the rice, Mao Caoye left the fort. Where could he go?

There was an old man selling rice in the fort, who said to Li Banfeng, "He should have gone to the surrounding villages to collect rice. There's no rice left to collect in the surrounding villages, so he must have gone to Pine Ridge Village."

Pine Ridge Village is not close; Li Banfeng walked more than 20 miles of mountain road to reach the village entrance.

The village was eerily quiet; not a single person could be seen in any of the houses, fields, or farmlands.

When Li Banfeng arrived at the gate of a farmhouse, he noticed someone in the yard. After taking a closer look, he realized he recognized the person.

"A'Gui?"

Gui Jianchou clutched his chest, sat in the courtyard, and looked up at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng entered the courtyard and asked Gui Jianchou, "What happened?"

Gui Jianchou's face turned deathly pale. He pointed to his mouth, indicating that he couldn't speak.

A Ghost Servant beside him clutched his chest with one hand and took out a piece of white paper with the other, on which he wrote four words: We are sick.

"What illness?"

Gui Jianchou shook his head; he didn't know what kind of illness it was either.

The Ghost Servant wrote another line: This disease is contagious; it spreads as soon as you speak.

Where can I find such a disease?

Li Banfeng didn't understand, and the Ghost Servant continued writing: Find City Lord Sun and save us.

After finishing writing, the Ghost Servant bowed to Li Banfeng.

Gui Jianchou, accompanied by a group of Ghost Servant, bowed to Li Banfeng.

P. S.: Does City Lord Sun know medicine?
