One Hundred Seventeen: The Earthly Father and Daughter
These few big ghosts are exactly the ones brought by Yue Ba and that old Chen with the robust evil ghost.
When they arrived in front of Bai Yu, they suddenly knelt down and said in unison: "Subordinates welcome the master." And the ghosts behind them also followed suit, kneeling down one after another, shouting in unison: "Subordinates welcome the master."
Bai Yu smiled slightly and said: "All of you get up, let's talk about what you've been doing during this period of time." As he spoke, he also found a place to sit down.
The ghosts stood up, and Yue Ba immediately respectfully said to Bai Yu: "Master, during this time we have been closely monitoring the surrounding ghosts according to your orders, observing their movements and the situation of their locations."
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Mm, how's that? Are their locations all clear now?"
Yue Ba Dao said: "It's all clear now, in today's world, due to the growth of population and excessive social pressure, many people die unjustly. After death, they carry resentment, but this resentment varies in strength. The strong ones will transform into vengeful spirits, while the weak ones can't even condense into a ghost form. However, over time, the strong resentment forms various dens of ghosts occupying different regions. These dens contain varying numbers of ghosts, generally at least one per province. Our den is relatively medium-sized, with around 100-200 evil ghosts. If there are more, it could be several hundred, and if fewer, then just a few dozen." He paused for a moment before continuing: "When the master issued this command, we investigated the situation of nearby provinces' ghost dens and found two large ones, three medium-sized ones, and four or five small ones."
Bai Yu fell into deep thought upon hearing this, he was now thinking about how to subdue these ghosts. To be honest, with the strength of a medium-sized ghost den, it's really difficult to subdue the surrounding ghost dens without suffering any casualties. Or if you want to easily take care of them, maybe he needs to appear in person or have a special treasure for capturing ghosts.
"After some careful consideration, Bai Yu said: 'Alright, don't bother with these ghost dens for now. Later, I'll give you an address and you can go there. There's a place with endless killing intent, it should be helpful for your cultivation. You can stay inside for a while. There's a transmission talisman here, when the time comes for me to use you, this talisman will ignite and you can come back.'"
Yue Ba hastily took over the talisman paper and knelt down on the ground saying: "Yes, master."
Then Bai Yu told the ghosts the address of the ancient tomb and left alone, he didn't worry that these ghosts wouldn't be able to find the place.
If we're talking about speed, these ghosts flying around won't be much slower than some modern sports cars, let alone they don't need to turn corners and can pass through walls. With tonight's skills, it's enough for them to rush to that place, and there will even be plenty of time to spare.
Back in his own room, Bai Yu took out his phone and made a call to Pang Ping. He was going to take a plane tomorrow, so the ticket had to be booked in advance. However, he had no experience buying tickets and didn't even know the number for booking flights, so he bothered Pang Ping again.
However, Pang Ping was very pleased and immediately agreed, patting his chest and saying that he would take care of it himself. This made Bai Yu somewhat embarrassed, as it was indeed a bit troublesome to bother others. The next day, early in the morning, Pang Ping came knocking on the door.
"The white path is long. The time has come, it's time to go."
Bai Yu was suddenly awakened, fortunately he didn't sleep too soundly and wasn't in a bad mood from sleeping. He quickly put on his clothes. First, he opened the door to let Pang Ping in, then simply washed up, and followed Pang Ping downstairs.
Arriving at the carriage, Pang Ping smiled and said: "Bai Daozhang, what are you going to do in Beijing?"
Bai Yu chuckled and said: "There's a gathering, someone told me about it, and I'm also going to attend."
"Oh?" Pang Ping seemed slightly surprised, and immediately smiled: "I think the gathering you attended, Dechang, shouldn't be one organized by just anyone, right? Otherwise, with your personality, you wouldn't have gone."
Bai Yu nodded and said: "It was initiated by some fellow practitioners. To be honest, I didn't know about this gathering before, but now that I do, it's better to go."
Pang Ping's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the words, and he was eager to make friends with Bai Yu, a cultivator. It's not easy to find people with real skills in modern society, but there are many scammers. Making friends with a few more people like this would only bring benefits, not harm, to an ordinary businessman like him.
However, thinking that an ordinary person like him wants to enter such a circle is probably not easy. Thinking of this, he shook his head and also opened up, people like Bai Yu are not someone you can see just because you want to, it's all about fate. Being able to come into contact with Bai Yu in this lifetime is already a great fortune for him.
The two first came to a small restaurant for a meal, and then headed to the airport. Bai Yu still had vivid memories of the food he ate on the plane last time, and if he was made to eat it again, he felt that not eating at all would be better.
Then the two of them chatted and laughed as they drove to the airport, just in time. Bai Yu got out of the car and said to Pang Ping: "You don't have to see me off, I can go by myself, you should head back first."
Pang Ping smiled and said, "Alright, I'll leave first. But when I come back, you must call me, and I'll come to pick you up." After that, Pang Ping instructed a few more things, and the two parted ways. Bai Yu boarded the plane and sat in her seat waiting for takeoff.
There were quite a few people on this flight, and all the seats in the cabin were fully occupied. After such a large group of people entered the cabin, they were surprisingly quiet, with no one making a fuss.
And beside Bai Yu sat a girl, who was surprisingly very pretty, with red lips and eyebrows, as well as a pair of eyes that seemed to speak, blinking and making people's gaze fall on her involuntarily.
Bai Yu had little contact with women and wouldn't strike up a conversation, so he leaned against the back of the seat and dozed off.
The girl didn't seem to notice him, probably because she had never taken men seriously before. She wrapped her arms around herself, as if lost in thought.
Just a little while later, the flight attendant's voice came over the broadcast: "Welcome to all passengers on this flight......" The content of the speech was always the same every time, asking everyone to turn off the power of electronic devices and other things on their bodies.
At this time, a middle-aged man poked his head out from the seat behind and smiled softly at the girl, saying: "Tianxin, how is it that you won't feel nervous attending this gathering for the first time?"
The woman named Tiān Xīn came back to her senses, smiled lightly and said: "Dad, of course I'm excited, after all there are so many seniors here, it's just that I don't know what kind of people they are."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about those people, they are all very friendly. It's just that this time I want to see some young talents at this gathering."
Tian Xin naturally knew what his father meant by this, shook his head and said with a bit of petulance: "Dad, you're at it again......"
However, at this time, Bai Yu listened to the two people's words and was moved in his heart. He found that the gathering mentioned by these two people seemed a bit like the gathering of cultivators mentioned by Liu Zhen Guang. Moreover, who still uses the term "senior" in Huaxia nowadays? Although he didn't feel any fluctuations of law power from the two, there were many sects of the non-resting law power Taoist school in Huaxia, so it was very possible. The full name of this gathering was something like 'Huaxia Taoist Friends Discussion Gathering'. He opened his eyes and looked at the father-daughter duo with surprise: "I don't know if you two are talking about that 'Huaxia Taoist Friends Discussion Gathering'?"
The two father and daughter, who were originally laughing and chatting, now had a tense expression. The middle-aged man's face turned serious, and his voice was slightly cautious as he asked: "I don't know, who are you?"
Bai Yu smiled and said: "I suppose you two are also from the Daoist sect? My name is Bai Yu, I am a Daoist cultivator, and this time I'm also going to attend this gathering."
The middle-aged man hurriedly put on a smile and said, "So that's how it is. You're polite, my name is Shuimu, and this is my daughter Shuitianxin." In fact, Baiyu was a bit rash, because this meeting was confidential, and just now when they were chatting not far away, Shuimu still thought someone had leaked the news of this meeting. Of course, these were things that Baiyu didn't know about, otherwise he wouldn't have asked like that.
Then, Shui Mu smiled and said: "I don't know which sect you belong to, I'm from the Su Tu Pai." The Su Tu Pai is a sect that, like Liu Zhen Guang's Ma Yi Pai, does not cultivate magical powers to achieve enlightenment. However, the fame of this sect's people is no less than that of the Ma Yi Pai. In common parlance, they are called - Feng Shui Masters.
Looking at the Feng Shui layout, Bai Yu didn't expect to meet a member of the Su Tu Pai on this plane. He smiled and said, "Well, if I had to say it, my lineage is actually from the Mao Shan Pai."
Su Mu was taken aback, and it took him several seconds to regain his composure. He smiled and said, "So you're a fellow practitioner from Maoshan. The legacy of Maoshan is indeed rare these days, I didn't expect to meet someone like you here." In fact, in the current cultivation world, the most common ones are those who don't cultivate their skills, such as Su Tu and Ma Yi. Those who can actually achieve some results in cultivating their skills are truly rare species.
In Shui Mu's view, since Bai Yu was willing to participate in this debate, he must have some accomplishments in his own Taoist skills. As a result, the tone of his words became much more polite at once.
And Shui Tianxin also used a pair of big eyes to carefully examine Bai Yu.
