Chapter 98: Ghostland
"Humph, I will definitely take revenge on those hypocritical fellows from the Hunter's Guild!"
The night ghost's eyes were full of fierceness, like an enraged beast. I was shocked and tactfully refrained from saying anything more at this time.
"The Hunter Guild is becoming more and more powerful. Don't provoke them if you don't have anything to do with them."
The old man seemed to be trying to give him advice, but I thought that with Night Ghost's arrogant temper, he would definitely refute it.
"They provoked me. When I recover, I will teach them a lesson."
Sure enough, this guy is talking tough again. I couldn't help but laugh. How could he fight the entire Hunter Guild alone? As far as I know, the Hunter Guild headquarters is very mysterious. Lu Xiaofeng and Second Senior Brother don't know where it is, and the branches are spread all over the place.
"What are you laughing at, little brat?"
The night ghost suddenly turned around and looked at me coldly. My heart tightened and I quickly suppressed my expression, not daring to laugh or say much.
Damn it, don't fall into my hands in the future, or I will kill you. Fuck! Although I thought so in my heart, on the surface, I still forced a smile and said, "Don't get excited, brother Yegui, I'm not laughing at you. You know, I'm used to laughing, and I always have a smiling face."
"Okay, we're almost at the shore, get ready to disembark."
The old man rowing the boat suddenly said something. Night Ghost looked away and looked forward. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked forward as well. Sure enough, the river bank was not far ahead.
There seemed to be an empty area ahead of the river bank, and further ahead there were some faint lights flickering.
Soon, the boat docked, and Night Ghost was the first to step onto the riverbank. The expression on his face seemed to have changed, as if he had been wandering outside for a long time and suddenly returned home.
"Little guy, I'll give you something. Don't make any noise. When you want to leave, come to this river and throw it in the river. I will come and pick you up."
Suddenly, I heard the voice of the old man rowing the boat, but he didn't speak, and he didn't even turn his head. I thought I heard it wrong, but suddenly I felt like there was something in my hand. I quickly looked down and found that I was holding a small wooden sign in my hand.
"Come ashore quickly."
Suddenly, the voice of the old man rowing the boat rang in my ears again. I was startled. Could it really be him? Was what he said just now not an illusion?
"Hurry up, kid."
The night ghost shouted coldly on the shore. I quickly put away the wooden sign and jumped onto the shore.
"Uncle Wang, I'm going back first."
Night Ghost was quite respectful and polite to the old man who was rowing the boat. The old man nodded and turned the boat around with the pole.
"Go back, you haven't been back for a long time."
After the old man's boat had rowed some distance away, Ye Gui turned around, looked at me coldly, and then walked forward first.
I looked at the boat gradually disappearing in the river, thinking about what the old man had just said to me, and touched the small wooden sign in my pocket.
What does this old man mean? Is he trying to help me? Why should he help me? Isn't he also a ghost?
Without the light from the boat, there was only the faint starlight and moonlight, and it was dark all around, a little scary. I hurriedly trotted to catch up with the night ghost. Damn it, I don't know why this dead eunuch brought me back?
After passing this open area, there is a small, rugged slope. The slope is not very high, but it is very wide, stretching to both sides and extending into the darkness. In the middle of the slope stands a tall gatehouse-like building, which is wider than the gatehouse in front of our Yushenmen Mountain.
As I got closer, I saw two large characters carved on the gate tower in the dim light:
"Ghostland!"
“Hoooooooo!”
There were gusts of strange wind blowing from both sides of the slope, and the wind was chilly. The temperature underground was much lower than on the ground. Although it was June, it was a bit cold here, and there was also chill in the wind.
After passing through the gatehouse, I reached the top of the slope in a few minutes. Looking at the scene below the slope, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The twinkling lights in the distance are all lights, lights of various shapes, simple but dense houses, and roads that crisscross. Looking around, some high, some low, some big, some small, some near, some far, a large area of buildings, a large area of scattered lights.
This is simply an underground world!
"Wow, that's great. It's like an underground world, an underground night market."
I exclaimed.
The Night Ghost looked a little proud, and said, "The ghost tribe usually moves around at night and rests during the day. There will be a night market in the tribe at night, which is very lively."
There was a look of joy on his wrinkled face.
We went down the rugged slope to the bottom and came to the group of buildings. Small paths intersected and interspersed among these buildings. The structures of these buildings were somewhat different from those in the outside world. They were of a simple shape and mostly made of stone. In front of each house there was a stone pillar with a strange lamp hanging on it. It didn't look like an electric lamp or an oil lamp, but it emitted light.
As I approached, I could already hear a lot of voices, some men, some women, some high, some low, some shouting, some laughing, in short, it was very lively.
The building extended forward along with the light, with no end in sight. It was unknown how big this ghost domain was or how many ghosts there were.
The night ghosts were walking in front, seemingly deliberately not looking twice, and this place really looked like a night market, eating, drinking, playing, buying and selling things, all kinds of things. The people of this ghost tribe looked no different from us outside, so it was impossible to tell whether they were ghost tribes just by looking at the surface.
In the bustling crowd, no one noticed me and Night Ghost. There were people coming and going on many paths. I followed Night Ghost, circling around on the paths until I was dizzy.
"Oh my god, brother Night Ghost, where exactly is your home? I've been circling around for dozens of times."
The night ghost didn't answer, and his pace suddenly increased. I cursed inwardly and followed closely behind him, otherwise I would be lost in a blink of an eye.
Damn, this is a damn place. Even if I want to sneak away, I probably won't be able to find a way out. The old man who rowed the boat gave me a small wooden sign, saying that he could row the boat to pull me across the river. But I have to be able to get out of here and run to the river.
After circling for another ten minutes, the night ghost finally stopped. I looked around quickly. The light in this area was very dim, and there were fewer buildings. In front of us was a small courtyard with a stone wall less than one person high. You could see into the courtyard by standing on tiptoe. There were three stone houses in the courtyard, a tree, a well, and several large stones.
"Oh my god, brother Nightghost, this is your home? It's really shabby."
