Is there some misunderstanding in Chapter 34?
next moment.
Masato Yoshino lit a Soul-Destroying Incense stick on the table. The Soul-Destroying Incense used precious materials such as White Bone Grass, Corrupting Soul Flower, and Soul-Eating Insects, and was a favorite of undead spirits such as ghosts.
The smoke from the incense of the dead does not rise, but falls.
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of grayish-green wisps of smoke settled under the table.
The dark figure in the corner flashed under the table and inhaled sharply, swallowing all the smoke like a whale sucking up water.
Bathed in the gray-green smoke, a lifelike paper figure dressed in a bright red robe appeared, revealing a grinning mouth, lifeless ink-spotted eyes, and a pale face. It carried an extremely eerie and sinister feeling, neither smiling nor human, sending chills down one's spine.
I have no idea where that huge cloud of smoke went.
Masato Yoshino began chanting obscure and strange incantations in a hoarse and low voice, which sounded like beetles scratching at the ear canal, making people feel irritated and nauseous.
The paper figure's eyes gradually began to flash with a scarlet light, and the frequency of the light's vibrations quickly became consistent with the sound, expanding and contracting in an extremely eerie manner.
A moment later, Masato Yoshino stopped chanting the incantation, and the paper figure vanished in a flash.
"With one martial artist at the peak of the early True Qi stage, the others are not a threat."
"There is also a newly arrived Transcendent One who seems to have exceptionally keen senses. Very good. This kind of guy's soul has great potential after being refined into a Yin Ghost."
"The mountain road is difficult to travel; it should take them another six or seven hours to get here."
Masato Yoshino muttered to himself, then checked the time—9:32 a.m.
The weather is cooperating today; there's not much sunshine, so we can prepare in advance.
He immediately got up and walked out of the ancestral hall...
Around noon, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, like smoke and mist, weaving a hazy, chilly net over the primeval forest.
Dong Guanfei sensed the spying from the dense forest again, but he remained calm and focused on sensing.
In an instant, a white shadow flashed by like a ghost.
That thing was incredibly light, but its speed was astonishing; it was definitely not a normal human.
The recurrence of this situation means that there is indeed an enemy.
This time, he carefully observed Wang Anyue and found that he indeed failed to sense the enemy's covetousness.
A few minutes later, the group stopped in a more open rocky area and took out drinking water and dry food to eat.
Half an hour later, the group prepared to set off again.
Dong Guanfei felt he should still give them a heads-up, so he leaned close to Zhao Huibao's ear and said, "I sense that some kind of ghost is watching us. This has happened twice already. You should warn them."
Zhao Huibao's eyes widened in surprise, but then he remembered that he could see into the Qi Circle, so he nodded vigorously, quickened his pace and walked to Zhang Fubao, Zhao Guanghua and Wang Anyue, and whispered a few words to them.
Zhao Guanghua immediately turned to look at Dong Guanfei, who shrugged and said nothing.
Zhao Guanghua looked at the late-stage True Strength captain not far away and said, "Tianming, someone might be using Yin Ghosts to monitor us. Contact Tianfu and Tianhai."
Captain Tianming immediately blew a whistle, the sound being one long and two short.
Soon, the same whistle sounded back from two different locations ahead.
Zhao Guanghua immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Fubao, "Brother, if there really is an enemy, who do you think it would be?"
"This area is often frequented by tomb raiders, who use some strange and unorthodox methods."
"In addition, the academic travel groups that the Japanese often traveled within a radius of one or two hundred kilometers, and the leader of the group, Masato Yoshino, was an Onmyoji."
"If they are Japanese devils, they might be after Tian Laosan's discovery this time."
"I'll send a carrier pigeon to Tianjia Village right away to see what's going on."
After Zhang Fubao finished speaking, he immediately had a martial artist in the early stage of True Strength release a carrier pigeon.
Zhao Guanghua then looked at Wang Anyue, who slowly shook his head, indicating that he had not found any ghosts.
Zhang Fubao also noticed Wang Anyue's actions, and he and Zhao Guanghua immediately felt a chill.
This means that if there really is a Yin Ghost, then this Yin Ghost is at least equivalent to a Sha Ghost at the peak of the initial stage of "Lingji".
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist's sensory abilities cannot compare with those of a mental cultivator of the same level.
However, it is said that Yoshino Masato is only an Onmyoji, not a Grand Onmyoji equivalent to the "spiritual" level.
It's not unusual for an Onmyoji to control a spirit of higher cultivation level than themselves, but the difference cannot be too great, otherwise they are very likely to be devoured by the spirit and die.
The Onmyoji is remarkable for daring to control a demon equivalent to the initial level of "Lingji".
The higher the level, the greater the difference between each sub-level.
The difference between the initial level of "Spiritual Ability" and the peak level of the initial level of "Spiritual Ability" is like the difference between the rock in front of you that is as tall as a person and the hill that is more than ten meters high in front of you.
However... a "ruthless" perception may not be accurate...
But the group couldn't help feeling uneasy, so they kept looking around as they traveled, trying to find something.
More than half an hour later, the carrier pigeon flew back, with a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.
After reading the letter in the small bamboo tube, Zhang Fubao visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tian Laosan said he didn't find anything unusual and will wait for us at the boundary stone at the village entrance."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guanghua relaxed slightly and beckoned Zhao Huibao over.
"Bao'er, Tian Laosan replied, saying everything is normal. It's possible that Mr. Li only found some wandering ghosts."
Zhao Huibao pouted, "'Ruthless' said that if there is anything unusual, he will shoot and shout a warning so that you will not panic."
Zhang Fubao and Zhao Guanghua couldn't help but exchange a glance.
This statement sounds somewhat incongruous, because among the core members of the team, "ruthlessness" seems to be the lowest level of virtue.
However, since "Ruthless" has already demonstrated his peculiarities, they will not question him for the time being. Instead, they will be extra careful, after all, they are all seasoned veterans, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
At the same time, nearly ninety people filed out of Tianjia Village.
Masato Yoshino left six members of the Skull Squad's cultural relics squad to guard the village, and took eighteen young men from the village with him when he left.
Apart from the injured Tian Laosan, the rest of the villagers were the elderly, women, and children.
Tian Laosan was tied up and watched by two Japanese soldiers, completely powerless to resist.
In reality, Tian Laosan was in tears and heartbroken.
Although the Japanese soldiers took away eighteen uncles and brothers under the guise of helping them with labor, nine out of ten of them were doomed, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
Tian Laoqi looked around in the ranks, feeling majestic under the protection of the Imperial Army, but unfortunately no outsiders saw him.
According to his understanding, the East China International Foreign Concession has become increasingly powerful in the past two years among the five major foreign concessions in Shanghai.
He must perform well in the future and strive to surpass "Poison-Eyed Monkey Nine" to become the most popular hanger-on in front of the professor and the Japanese.
A dozen minutes later, the group arrived at the edge of a cold pool and quickly set up a simple altar.
Lieutenant Colonel Akio Itano nodded slightly, and the special forces team members swarmed forward and quickly tied up the eighteen men from the Tian family.
"Huh? Sir, Professor, is there some misunderstanding?"
Tian Laoqi looked incredulous and struggled to shout.
