Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ancient Tomb

  The next morning, the ghost arrived at the outskirts of the town. Alone, with only a clean cloth bundle on his back. In fact, the ghost had never been very willing to tidy himself up properly, simply tying up his hair with a single white jade hairpin. The pin was quite ordinary, without even any extra carvings. Yet, this plain white jade hairpin had been worn by the ghost for ten years.

  This is the birthday of Kishin, and Kishin gave it to her. It's said that this was what he had on him when his master picked him up. Kishin said that hairpin was his good luck charm, so this good luck charm should protect his little sister well.

  At this time, the ghost had been waiting outside the town for nearly two cups of tea. The originally pale face was also becoming more and more sinister. After a while, Chang Qingzi's figure slowly appeared. The ghost's anger had already spread to the edge, and it would erupt at any moment.

  "Yin Huan Yue is leisurely having breakfast, I'm late because I went to rush him." Chang Qing Zi immediately cleared himself of any responsibility, and Mu Ya, who was standing beside him, helplessly twitched the corner of his eye. It was obvious that he was the one who overslept. However, since Yin Gong Zi still hasn't arrived yet, it's not surprising that their own young master used him as a scapegoat.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the ghost's face became increasingly unsightly. Just when Chang Qingzi thought the ghost would become enraged, the ghost's face gradually returned to normal. In the end, there was not a single trace of its previous anger left.

  "Ghost?" Chang Qingzi hesitantly asked, "Are you okay?"

  "I'm fine." The ghost said faintly. "Where's the carriage?"

  "Hmm, a carriage. Mu Yu, go get one over here." Chang Qingzi said.

  "Master, Young Master Yin has arrived in his carriage," said Mu Ya.

  Chang Qingzi turned around and saw Qinghe driving the carriage, rushing in this direction. For some reason, he felt a little strange and took another look at the ghost's calm face. Confirming that it was still as usual, for some reason, he didn't let out a sigh of relief, but instead felt a slight sense of tension.

  "Miss Gui, Mr Mo, please get on the carriage." Qinghe got off the carriage and arranged the footstool.

  The ghost nodded slightly and got on the carriage first. Zhang Qingzi stood aside and hesitated to get on.

  "Mo Gongzi?" Qinghe called out in surprise.

  "Prince." Muya also softly called out.

  "Wait a bit, when I'm sure nothing's wrong, I'll go up." Chang Qingzi suddenly said something inexplicable, making Qinghe even more puzzled, while Muyao nodded understandingly.

  "Alright, young master," said Muyao.

  "But it's quite quiet, isn't it?" Chang Qingzi thought strangely and then got on the horse carriage. Could it be that this ghost didn't make any moves?! After getting on the horse carriage, the first thing Chang Qingzi did was to stare at Yin Huan Yue carefully, and it was a kind of staring without moving.

  Mugyu and Qinghe sat outside the carriage, starting to drive the horses.

  After a long time, Yin Huan Yue said with suppressed anger: "Mo Changqing!"

  "Well, you said." Chang Qingzi spoke with a sincere smile on his face.

  Yin Huan Yue finally couldn't help but turn her head away, stretching out her arm in front of Chang Qing Zi's face. "The wound is here!"

  Chang Qingzi glanced over and said in a low voice, "Ghostly spirit, which one is that?"

  "What, do you want to try?" The ghost suddenly spoke up with a smile. This smile instantly stunned the two people, but they quickly recovered. After all, this was not a kind master, so that smile was not simple either.

  "No, I just wanted to ask, will it affect us..."

  "The effect of two cups of tea will disappear, and although the process is a bit difficult, the result is still pretty good." The ghost explained rarely.

  Yin Huan Yue quietly put down her sleeves, covering the strange pattern on her arm in the painting. It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but rather that she couldn't resist at all. It had only been a few days since the last time, and she hadn't expected her strength to increase to such an extent. Or perhaps her strength had always been this way, and the previous time was just a case of "crouching tiger, hidden dragon". But that didn't seem right either, as she and Mo Chang Qing had clearly tested each other before. And in the situation last time, there was no need for her to hide anything. What on earth was going on here?

  "Let's talk about the ancient tomb." Yin Huan Yue said coldly.

  "You just asked about the departure time, I thought you didn't care about these things." Chang Qingzi said with a smile.

  "Speak." The ghost said only one word, and Chang Qingzi immediately stopped laughing.

  "I don't know." Zhang Qingzi only said three words and then fell silent again.

  The ghost and Yin Huan Yue looked at Chang Qing Zi together, then lowered their heads.

  ……

  Two days later, the ghosts lived in a small town called Qingfeng Town. This place is closer to where Changqingzi said, but there are also closer places, but they are heavily surrounded.

  The ghost asked Zhang Qingzi, and Zhang Qingzi said it was an ownerless grave. But in the current situation, don't mention entering the ancient tomb, even entering that area is difficult.

  Chang Qingzi smiled mysteriously and said he had a wonderful plan of his own.

  At night.

  The ghost looked at its own clothes with some helplessness, this was Mo Changqing's clever plan, wearing the night-traveling clothes and sneaking in. The reason being, they didn't even know there was an ancient tomb there, and could a few ghost-catching masters really be fooled by mortal eyes? With just these two sentences, the ghost and Yinhuan Yue still followed Changqingzi inside. Muyao and Qinghe stayed at their lodgings.

  "Oh no." Chang Qingzi accidentally stepped on a branch and suddenly made a rustling sound.

  The ghost suddenly grabbed a talisman with each hand and threw them out. Then the three of them stood back to back, gathered together.

  Chang Qingzi and Yin Huan Yue saw that talisman at that time, their eyes couldn't help but flicker, that talisman was...

  At this time, the guards had slowly gathered over.

  "Who goes there!" a sentry shouted.

  "What else can I ask? Just go and take a look." Another guard walked directly towards the ghost.

  "Huh, no one's here." The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

  "It's probably some stray cat from somewhere."

  "Alright, let's go, let's go, hurry back. If we're found to have left our posts without permission, we'll be done for."

  "Let's go, let's go."

  ……

  At this time, the three ghosts were still standing in place, not moving. But Chang Qingzi and Yin Huan Yue's faces were a bit strange. It seems that they really didn't misjudge, it was indeed that kind of talisman, a talisman that could instantly release an obstacle-removing spell.

  This kind of talisman that can be activated immediately, they have seen it before. But such a special talisman appeared on the ghost's body, and it couldn't help but make people think deeply.

  Although this talisman is the foundation of ghost catchers, almost all basic talismans have a degree of ferocity. The value of a ghost catcher lies in their precious talismans. Especially special talismans are what ghost catchers pursue. The rarity of ghostly talismans should be enough for them to establish their own sect and occupy a certain position in this realm.
