Chapter 14: The Green Master

  That little brother didn't have any reaction at all to the ghost's cry, his eyes just glanced over it and said: "Won't work."

  "That's good."

  The scream suddenly grew louder, almost right next to my ear, and I couldn't help but cover my ears. Just then, the young man swiftly drew his long sword and slashed at me without hesitation. Before I could even react, I felt a gust of cool wind brush past my head, and the creature let out another shrill cry before gradually falling silent. My heart still racing, I reached up to touch my head, knowing that the young man wouldn't actually cut off my head, but when I saw the blade swinging towards me, my neck involuntarily felt a chill.

  The little brother looked at me and walked away, I was stunned for a moment, came back to my senses and hurriedly followed up. Although he didn't look much older than me, somehow, being by his side made me feel particularly safe. Look, that peeled monster was nothing, he directly cut it into three segments with two knives! In the end, even its soul was extinguished by him, fortunately I wasn't his enemy...

  After following that young man for a while, I saw flames appearing in front of me. There were about four people there. As I got closer, it turned out to be Pei Zi and the others!

  "Fei Zi, Xiao Shou!" I excitedly shouted at them. They were also very happy to see me, especially when they saw the young man walking behind me, their faces completely changed, and they excitedly walked up to me and looked at the young man, asking: "Feng Zi, how did you end up with Qing Da Shi!?"

  "Green... Master?" I was speechless, that person looked about the same age as us, how did he become a master? However, this title is quite suitable for him, because the aura he gives off is indeed that of a worldly wise and experienced elder who has transcended worldly affairs. It's really unknown how someone so young can give off such a desolate feeling...

  "Pei Zi seemed to have not seen my expression, and while letting someone help me bandage my wound, he continued to stare at Qing Da Shi in surprise, saying: 'You don't know this, but this Qing Da Shi is very famous in the Taoist world, always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, likes to work alone, and ordinary people absolutely can't invite him!'"

  "What's that, what's his name after all?" I thought for a moment and looked at the green master with a questioning gaze, only to find that he seemed to have heard nothing, still expressionless, observing the layout here.

  Pei Zi shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know, everyone calls him Master Qing, so he's probably surnamed Qing."

  "Ah, yes! I've also heard about this Master Qing's background!" Wu Xiaoshou chimed in, and then slyly smiled: "This time we're following him, it's absolutely safe, who knows, maybe we'll even get to touch a few more treasures!"

  I nodded, following him would be safe, this point is not to be questioned, his ferocity I had already seen earlier, even hitting a melon could make him remain expressionless, either he was too confident or ignorant of the heavens and earth, but Master Qing was absolutely the former.

  I took another look at him and found that he had already left, so I immediately followed up. Pei Zi and others quickly packed their luggage and followed suit. The green master seemed to be completely unaware of us, still walking alone, although I was a bit embarrassed, but still didn't leave with a thick face.

  Before long, the sound of scratching glass appeared in the tomb passage again, accompanied by the sound of running. I almost immediately confirmed what it was, and was so scared that I took a few steps to Qing Daoshi's side, thinking that if he ran, I would immediately grab his arm and run together! After all, compared to Pei Zi and others, I believe in this person a bit more...

  "What's that sound?" Wu Ma You started to panic again, and the others were also at a loss, not knowing what was making it. Only I was secretly lamenting in my heart - just now I had almost been eaten by those bloodthirsty creatures! Just thinking about the pain of being gnawed on made me feel chilled to the bone...

  "That's not Song Ah!" Wu Xiao Shou said, and by the time he finished speaking, Song Ah had already run over. When he saw me, he was initially delighted, but when he saw Qing Da Shi, his face suddenly froze, and he stopped to catch his breath, asking me: "Have you seen Su Dai?"

  "Wasn't she with you guys?" I wondered.

  "At that time we ran away." Song Ah said, then looked at Qing Daoshi beside me and smiled: "I didn't expect Master Qing to be here too, what a fortunate encounter!"

  Master Qing glanced at Song Ah with a faint gaze, without saying a word. His calm and unruffled eyes seemed to see through everything. At this moment, I still admired him quite a bit. I thought he knew the danger of that bloody hair, so he didn't take action alone. Unexpectedly, he was actually quite kind-hearted. If it were an ordinary person, seeing so many troubles would definitely choose to keep a safe distance without hesitation. For the first time, I had a strong admiration for someone I just met! My first impression of him was also extremely good!

  The sound of tearing and ripping grew louder, and Song Ah suddenly woke up, saying in terror: "Right, the thing behind us is not easy to deal with, let's get out of here quickly!"

  I was about to respond when I saw Master Qing's eyebrows furrow, and then he actually walked towards the sound. I asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

  He didn't answer me, and continued walking in that direction. I gritted my teeth and followed him, but then Song Ah grabbed me again, anxiously saying: "Feng Zi, that thing is very formidable, let's hurry up and leave this place!"

  "I know." I smiled at him and chased after the green master, I believe he must have a way to solve it, and since he went, who knows if he found something, then I have to go take a look. As I was chasing over, Song Ah and Pei Zi followed me too, Song Ah even let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I can't just watch you go to your death."

  "Heh heh." I smiled foolishly for a moment, and then heard the sound of someone shouting from up ahead, as well as that increasingly eerie scraping glass sound. I looked up to see that indeed someone was being wrapped around by those blood-red hairs. The person's silhouette was somewhat blurry, but I still instantly recognized them. Tentatively, I called out: "Dad, is that you?"

  After hearing my voice, the man was stunned and turned his bloody face towards us, waving his hand anxiously and saying: "It's me! This place is very dangerous, you guys leave quickly!"

  "How can I possibly leave here! I finally found you, and I almost wanted to rush over to save him immediately, but Qing Daoshi stopped me. I looked at him with some anger, but found that his eyes were still calm and tranquil, and he said flatly: 'There's something behind him, I'll go.'"

  After he finished speaking, I saw that behind my dad was indeed standing something. Perhaps because of its crimson hair, the thing didn't move and instead remained in a bystander state. I was immediately shocked, because that silhouette was exactly the same as the skin-peeling monster we had encountered before! I glanced apologetically at the Qing master who had blocked me, but he had already rushed over to it. I hastily told the people behind me: "Quickly light up the torches, anything that can be burned, give it to me and set it on fire quickly! That thing is afraid of fire!"
