Chapter 71: Ghost Pavilion (1) (1/2)
Nan Huairen told Li Qiye in a mysterious manner: “I heard there are ghosts there.”
“Since it is called the Ghost Pavilion, ghosts would be a normal thing. Without ghosts, how could it be called the Ghost Pavilion?” Li Qiye laughed.
Seeing Li Qiye without any anxiety, Nan Huairen jumped anxiously and busily said: “Brother, I’m not joking with you. There are really ghosts at that place! There are really ghosts there! If you don’t believe me, you can go ask my master!”
Protector Mo was also present. Hearing Nan Huairen, he pondered for a moment, and then he said: “The Ghost Pavilion is indeed ominous. It is better to be careful even though I’ve never heard of anyone dying in the Ghost Pavilion. I did hear that the first elder was unbearably hurt, suffering many losses in there. Whether there are ghosts or not, a conclusion cannot be drawn, but there are definitely some ominous things at that place.”
“Ghosts, eh.” Li Qiye gazed towards the far direction, farther than far, and he finally smiled cheerfully. He said: “If there are actual ghosts, I would like it even more; why is there the need to be afraid of ghosts?”
At this moment, he couldn’t help but smirk and burst out laughing.
Nan Huairen, regarding his first brother’s “heavy taste”, became silent. Regarding these ominous ghosts, others just wanted to escape; however, his first brother said that he liked them.
Nan Huairen was really concerned about Li Qiye, and he still wanted to persuade him; however, his master, Protector Mo, gently shook his head, so he became silent instead.
Protector Mo didn’t try to convince Li Qiye. From his perspective, Li Qiye already had his own ideas. He trusted that Li Qiye’s actions didn’t warrant their worries.
In the end, Li Qiye smiled and said to Nan Huairen: “Let us go! It's time to see the Ghost Pavilion!”
Nan Huairen had no other options, and he had to resign to his fate. He followed Li Qiye to see the Ghost Pavilion, but along the way, he was muttering: “Brother, if you meet a ghost, do not say I didn’t warn you; there are real ghosts there.”
With Nan Huairen’s continuous verbose speech like a married housewife, Li Qiye could only smile.
In reality, the matter of Li Qiye heading to meditate at the Ghost Pavilion, the disciples at the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had all heard. The moment the Ghost Pavilion was brought up, the disciples all s.h.i.+vered in fear.
A deadly pale disciple said: “Staying half a year at the Ghost Pavilion? I wouldn’t do it, not even for a day. I would rather stay in a punis.h.i.+ng frozen cave than the Ghost Pavilion!”
Another disciple shook his head and said: “Don’t even mention the frozen cave, I would rather go to the Dark Dried Valley than the Ghost Pavilion.”
Other disciples started to speak: “Regarding the Ghost Pavilion, even Uncle Da Dan was afraid of it.” [1]
The disciple continued: “Uncle Da Dan could be considered the most courageous person in our sect. Five years ago, he didn’t believe in the evil occult, so he made a bet with us to go into the Ghost Pavilion. The second day, the sun had not risen, and he escaped and even p.i.s.sed his pants in terror.”
“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, revealing my shortcomings; do you want to be beaten?” A middle-aged man, who was standing to the side, glared at him and yelled. This middle-aged man was incomparably rough looking; it was clear that this person was the uncouth fellow, Da Dan.
Even though this disciple was glared at, there were other disciples that curiously asked: “Uncle, what happened at that time? What happened that night?”
This uncle, questioned by the disciples, gave in; he contemplated for a moment, shook his head, and then he said: “The Ghost Pavilion has ghosts, frightening ghosts; maybe not just one, but many many ghosts.”
A disciple curiously asked: “Li Qiye going to meditate in the Ghost Pavilion; how long do you guys think he can last?
Someone was feeling like gambling: “I’m willing to bet that he won’t make it through one night.”
Another disciple coldly scowled and said: “A whole night, hmph! From my perspective, I’m afraid that once night falls, he would have peed in his pants. The Ghost Pavilion is not only notorious in name; there are definitely ghosts at that place!”
At the moment, many disciples of the sect were gossipping. All of them said that there were ghosts there, but what type of ghosts, no one knew.
In fact, regarding the Ghost Pavilion, even the protectors were afraid of it. First Elder went to the Ghost Pavilion once, and he tried to use his Emperor merit law to suppress the ominous aura of the Ghost Pavilion. No one could believe that on the second day, the tired first elder came out of the pavilion. He couldn’t suppress the evil aura in the Ghost Pavilion.
Since then, no protectors or disciples dared to not know their own strengths and venture into the Ghost Pavilion. Originally, the world’s spirit energy of this peak was quite good, but because of the Ghost Pavilion rumors, no one was willing to come to this peak to cultivate.
