I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 356: The Edge of Ghostland (asking for monthly ticket)

Sangque rode on the bridal sedan chair and traveled day and night, moving southwest according to the density of the evil fog.

What Sangque saw along the way could only be described as horrifying, with corpses strewn all over the ground and ghosts running rampant.

In the evil fog that spreads across the entire land, evil spirits and demons have frequently appeared in various places regardless of day or night.

There was an evil spirit whose name Sangque didn't know. It scattered like a group of blood crows, and when it landed on the ground, it turned into black vicious dogs. They gathered in groups and tore apart the corpses on the roadside.

There were also Grannies Yin who haunted various villages, looking for the corpses of children to eat.

There were also battlefields where two armies were fighting, with blood flowing like a river and blue phosphorescent lights everywhere, illuminating the soldiers and generals who had turned into evil spirits after death. They were covered in blood and riddled with arrows, wandering aimlessly in the wilderness in groups.

Occasionally they would inexplicably appear nearby and then disappear again, not causing much harm, but they always came in groups, and it was pretty scary if you bumped into them unexpectedly.

Sangque also saw many ghosts that were rarely seen in normal times, such as starving ghosts with skinny and hunched bodies and mouths as small as a pinhole. They squatted at various intersections, and when a sedan chair passed by, several starving ghosts would rush over.

In the past, starving ghosts would only appear on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. When offering sacrifices to deceased relatives, burning paper and offering food at the crossroads would attract starving ghosts to fight for food.

If a family forgets to offer sacrifices to their deceased relatives within three generations, there is a possibility that starving ghosts will appear in the house at night and eat people.

The starving ghosts were also at level four, and could not be dealt with by the Red Umbrella Ghost with just a wave of his umbrella. He chased Sang Que for a long time but couldn't get rid of it. Fortunately, Yin Tong stepped in and blocked them for a while, and even dismembered a bloody thing from one of the starving ghosts.

The stomach of a starving ghost is a disposable Yin object that can instantly swallow a person or ghost whose strength does not exceed the fourth level. The price is that the person will feel like dying of starvation for the next seven days, weak and powerless, and nothing he eats can relieve his pain.

The sudden encounter with a group of starving ghosts was not the most thrilling thing along the way. The most thrilling thing was when the sedan chair went straight through a mountain at night. After passing through it, Sangque saw a village in the gray fog, with a large number of strange trees growing on it.

Trees grew out of corpses, breaking through houses in the village. Corpses were half exposed on the trunks of the trees, and branches were all like white bones, bare without leaves, with some bluish-white "fruits" like baby heads hanging from the tips.

As soon as Sangque appeared in the village, all the "fruits" opened their blood-red eyes, stared at her and began to giggle.

Sang Que did not dare to be careless at all. It only took her a second to put away the sedan chair and enter the hidden world in her embroidered shoes to take shelter.

Then she saw a bigger and more terrifying corpse tree in the hidden world, as if the tree itself had grown from the hidden world to the outside. Fortunately, this time the big corpse tree was some distance away from her, so Sangque teleported away, returned outside, and continued on her way.

In the Gui Dynasty, one must not be curious about something that is not necessary. No matter what it is or whether she can handle it, it is best not to go and explore it.

In addition to the thrills, Sangque also saw Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries several times. The surrounding evil fog was relatively thin, and there was smoke from cooking inside, which should be where living people gathered.

After traveling all night, Yin Tong sat on the top of the sedan chair to keep watch on the surroundings, while Sang Que leaned in the sedan chair with her eyes closed to rest. At almost dawn the next day, Sang Que felt uncomfortable sitting and moved around. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Tong's head hanging upside down from the top of the sedan chair, with a pair of blood-red ghost eyes staring at her.

That scene was still very terrifying.

Sang Que woke up instantly, lifted the curtain and looked outside, seeing a mass grave. The roadside was full of corpses wrapped in straw mats and some scattered half-open coffins. Occasionally, they would suddenly reach out their hands and try to tear apart the sedan chair that was passing by.

At the speed of the sedan, a place like a mass grave could be passed in a few seconds. Sang Que observed for more than a minute and felt that the sedan was taking a detour in the mass grave. Sang Que asked the red umbrella ghost to stop and she bent down and walked out of the sedan.

The evil fog here is already very thick. If it were a little stronger, it would be enough to be called a ghost domain. So is this the boundary of the huge ghost domain that is large enough to cover the entire Qinzhou?
Yin Tong appeared beside Sang Que and was also looking around. A hand stretched out from the overturned coffin on the side of the road and suddenly grabbed Yin Tong's hand. Yin Tong looked down and saw a pair of green hands stretching out from the hole in his belly. They tore the hands in the coffin apart, lifted them up, looked them over, and threw them aside.

Seeing this, the other coffins around immediately became quiet. Sang Que walked by without anyone reaching out to grab Sang Que.

Sang Que walked for a while and found corpses wearing armor starting to appear on the roadside. Although the corpses were highly decayed, the armor was only stained with blood, and the logo of Jingzhou could still be seen on them.

The further we went, the more corpses of this type we saw, and they were only soldiers from Jingzhou.

This means that this place is very close to Jingzhou's main force. The battle might be taking place in the deep ghost realm. Qiu Wanjun, the sixth-level ghost-walking general from Jingzhou, is very likely in there.

Sang Que learned from the puppeteer Chu Mowei that among the ghost troupe, currently only the troupe leader may have the strength of level six or close to level seven, the leaders of the martial arts and music departments are close to level five, and the rest are level four or below.

The strength of the sixth level, which is close to the seventh level, is probably not enough to create such a large ghost domain. The battle between Yin Tong and Qinzhou's Yin general Cao Huiyuan only covered the entire Fengning City. The formation of this ghost domain must have other reasons involved.

Sang Que hesitated for only a moment before deciding to go in and take a look.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If Yin Tong's tongue cannot be retrieved this time, Yin Tong will definitely not be able to break through the sixth level in the future. As for the Ghost Bride, although she is slightly stronger than Yin Tong now, she is obviously not as "smart" as Yin Tong, and intelligence also represents potential.

Sang Que was just wondering which direction he should go to enter this large ghost domain when he suddenly heard a deep and powerful singing voice coming from deep in the mass grave.

"So it was you who alienated me from Yunzhou. If my prediction goes as it does, the puppet master should be captured by you!"

A strong wind suddenly blew up, fog rolled in, paper banners on the desolate graves rustled, and a dilapidated stage appeared in the distance. On the stage stood three martial artists, glaring at Sang Que.

Sangque later also learned about the classification of martial artists.

The one standing in the middle main seat, with four flags on his back, a long black beard, holding a big Guandao, and with the demeanor of a general is the Changkao Wusheng.

The warrior on the left is dressed in shorts, holding two swords, and is very agile and nimble. He is called a short-sleeved warrior.

There was also a guy wearing gaudy yellow clothes, standing there like a monkey, somersaulting from time to time. He was called a "Fanpu Wusheng" and his main performance was monkey shows.

"Today I will use your head as a sacrifice to the God of Drama, so that I can become the leader of the group!"

Now, the martial artist only needs to perform one more martial arts scene, take one person’s head, and offer a blood sacrifice to the god of martial arts, and he will be able to officially enter the fifth level.

Before Sang Que could make any move, the entire stage along with the martial artists on the stage suddenly disappeared. In an instant, the stage rose from the ground beneath Sang Que's feet, and three martial artists attacked from three sides with great momentum.

The gong sounds and the show begins!
