Chapter 71 : Ghost Pavilion 1 (1/2)
Chapter 71 : Ghost Pavilion (1)
“I heard there are ghosts there.”
Nan Huai Ren told Li Qi Ye with a mysterious manner.
“Since it is called the Ghost Pavilion, ghosts would be a normal thing. Without ghosts, how could it be called the Ghost Pavilion?”
Li Qi Ye laughed.
Seeing Li Qi Ye without any anxiety, Nan Huai Ren 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 Huai Ren, 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 Qi Ye 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 to smirk, and he bursted out laughing.
Nan Huai Ren, regarding his first brother’s “heavy taste”, became silent. Regarding these ominous ghosts, others just wanted to escape; however, first brother said that he liked them.
Nan Huai Ren was really concerned about Li Qi Ye, 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 Qi Ye. From his perspective, Li Qi Ye already had his own ideas. He trusted that Li Qi Ye’s actions didn’t warrant their worries.
In the end, Li Qi Ye smiled, and he said to Nan Huai Ren’s group.
“Let us go! We will go see the Ghost Pavilion!”
Nan Huai Ren had no other options, and he had to resign to his fate. He followed Li Qi Ye 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 Huai Ren’s continuous verbose speech like a married housewife, Li Qi Ye could only smile.
In reality, the matter of Li Qi Ye 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 shivered 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 punishing 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 pissed his pants in terror.”
“Little bastard, 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 Qi Ye going to meditate in the Ghost Pavilion; how long do you guys think he can last?
A disciple exclaimed.
“I’m willing to bet that he won’t make it through one night.”
