Film and Television: Living in an Apartment, Part-Time Soul Ferryman

Page 20

The blazing flames swept away the surrounding poisonous miasma!

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were intact, everyone would have thought he had suddenly burst into flames!

Wang Zhenqiu's eyes shone brightly.

It's confirmed! He's finally confirmed it!

Zeng Xiaoxian is the son of the Vermilion Bird, and also Lao Hao's nephew!

On the other side.

Seeing this, the other cast members of Love Apartment gathered around and asked with concern:

"Teacher Zeng, how are you?"

"Quickly, quickly, put out the fire!"

"What happened? How did it suddenly start burning?"

Only Hu Yifei and Li Yang remained calm and composed.

Although Hu Yifei didn't know Zeng Xiaoxian's true identity, his strength was undeniable, and she already knew that Zeng Xiaoxian was no ordinary person.

Li Yang, however, knew very well Zeng Xiaoxian's true identity.

Hu Yifei glanced at Li Yang, seeing that he seemed unsurprised, and asked, "You seem to have known about Zeng Xiaoxian's situation all along?"

Li Yang did not hide anything, "I did hear it from a colleague. He said that there are many hidden talents in Love Apartment... Although Teacher Zeng looks like an ordinary person, he has the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, and it seems that his bloodline has been awakened now."

Hu Yifei nodded thoughtfully.

"This archaeological adventure was definitely worth it. First, Meijia embarked on the path of cultivation, and now that bastard Zeng Xiaoxian has awakened the bloodline of a divine beast."

Li Yang smiled slightly: "Of course, the stronger our Love Apartment is, the better!"

A bright smile bloomed on Hu Yifei's pretty face as she said meaningfully, "That's right, it really is our Love Apartment!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Identity Exposed! Hu Yifei Gets Jealous!

The archaeological team was very well prepared and made a safe and uneventful journey through the poisonous miasma.

It's getting late.

The group decided to find a suitable place nearby to set up camp.

Zeng Xiaoxian became the center of attention in the group, occasionally conjuring a ball of fire in his hand as he boasted, "Tonight, my brother Xian will be in charge of starting the fire!"

It wasn't until Lin Wanyu took out her wand and uttered "Incendio" that she summoned scorching flames in the same way.

This finally dampened Zeng Xiaoxian's arrogance.

Take a night's rest.

After breakfast the next day, the group set off on their journey and found the first dike marked on the map before noon.

Some relics from the ancient Dian Kingdom period remain around the embankment.

Hu Bayi discovered a path containing insect repellent in the soil here, and through the "transformation" scroll in the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques," he predicted that there would be a feng shui pattern called "Nine-Bend Revolving Mountain Pass" nearby.

Simply put, building a temple or similar structure at each of the nine key acupoints of the earth's veins is necessary to maintain the dense and unbroken feng shui formation of the earth's veins for thousands of years.

Li Yang said, "There is indeed a mountain god temple here!"

"First, find a large patch of dancing grass, and then you will find a red gourd stone sculpture that is more than one meter tall."

"Find this gourd-shaped stone carving, and you'll find the mountain god temple!"

Everyone believed Li Yang's words without a doubt, and they started searching for dancing grass in groups of three.

After finding the dancing grass, the group gathered and discovered the fiery red gourd, which was over a meter tall, behind the dancing grass.

And right in front of this giant gourd, about 100 meters away, there is indeed a mountain god temple built against the mountain!

The facade of the mountain god temple is now entangled with vines, and most of the roof tiles have fallen off.

Fortunately, the area is sheltered from the wind and gathers energy, so the main structure of the mountain god temple is not in bad shape. Although the wood of the temple is rotten, it can still barely support the temple and prevent it from collapsing.

The group entered the mountain god temple.

All around were various vines and plants. On the altar was a black-faced mountain god in a black robe, expressionless with his eyes slightly closed. Although it was somewhat dilapidated, it still gave people a cold and majestic feeling!

In the hands of the mountain god statue, a fiery red gourd and a toad are held respectively.

Hu Bayi, Professor Chen, and others are studying toads.

Both the human skin map and the Zhenling catalog have toad symbols, and Hu Bayi is convinced that the toad is the key to entering the underground palace of the Xianwang Tomb!

Meanwhile, Li Yang quietly found Shirley Yang.

The two arrived at a secluded corner.

Shirley Yang's pretty face flushed slightly. "Isn't it... a bit inappropriate here?"

Li Yang rolled his eyes and gently patted her forehead.

"What are you thinking about? Calm down, I'll take you to meet someone!"

Shirley Yang was completely bewildered. How could there be anyone else in this desolate and dangerous place besides them?

Until Li Yang brought Shirley Yang to a pile of remains.

Upon seeing the somewhat familiar fragments of clothing and the faded, colorful badge, one could vaguely discern the remaining writing on it—Shirley Yang's English name.

Shirley Yang burst into tears on the spot.

Li Yang stayed by her side, but his gaze drifted to the side.

Wisps of turbid air, invisible to ordinary people, were rising from the ground and coalescing into a blurry human figure.

The figure's expression was somewhat wooden, seemingly due to having stayed in the mortal world for too long, resulting in a weakened soul force and a somewhat dull appearance.

Until the figure saw Shirley Yang kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

For an instant.

The figure's expression became more vivid, and even its soul became more solid.

He floated to Shirley Yang's side and gently stroked her hair, only to find that his hand passed right through Shirley Yang's body.

The figure paused for a moment and sighed.

Li Yang walked over without making a sound. The figure looked up at him but didn't care. Then she turned to look at Shirley Yang with eyes full of affection.

Do you want to see him?

Shirley Yang paused for a moment, then choked out, "I want to! I dream about it!"

"how about you?"

Shirley Yang looked up at Li Yang in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

But she found that Li Yang was not looking at her, but was looking at the empty space to the side.

The figure looked up in surprise, only to find Li Yang staring straight at him.

Eyes facing each other.

"You can see me?" the figure asked in a hoarse voice.

"Of course!"

"May I ask you are?"

"Soul ferryman, ghost messenger, Black and White Impermanence, call me whatever you like, of course, I'm just doing it part-time."

The figure suddenly realized, then exclaimed excitedly, "You can really make Sherry see me?"

Li Yang nodded. "Of course, but I have one condition!"

"What conditions? I agree to them all!"

The figure answered eagerly.

Li Yang said slowly, "After you have met Shirley Yang, you must go to the Underworld to report!"

"The water dragon halo of this King Xian's tomb is a top-notch feng shui layout. Your soul is here, and other soul ferrymen simply cannot capture your soul."

"Next, we will excavate the tomb of King Xian, which will inevitably disrupt the feng shui of this place. At that time, the yin energy accumulated over thousands of years will erupt instantly!"

"If you harbor any obsessions, you will become a vessel for immense Yin energy and will inevitably fall into the form of a vengeful ghost!"

"It will definitely take some effort to deal with you then, which will be troublesome!"

The figure nodded hurriedly, "Agreed, I agree to everything!"

Shirley Yang stopped crying. She had gleaned some important information from Li Yang's mutterings.

"Li Yang, you..."

"Don't ask, time is limited, let's begin!"

Li Yang wiped Shirley Yang's eyes with his right hand.

Instantly, the whites of Shirley Yang's eyes disappeared, and her pupils became unusually large.

She suddenly saw a blurry figure standing next to Li Yang.

"I've temporarily opened your eyes to see ghosts, so you can have a good chat with your father and resolve his obsession..."

Li Yang gave a few instructions, then turned and left, leaving the father and daughter some space.

Hu Yifei suddenly walked up to him.

"Didn't you say you were only doing it part-time? How come you can actually grant others the ability to see ghosts?"

She had been secretly observing everything that had just happened.

Li Yang smiled slightly, "A part-time soul ferryman is still a soul ferryman, and I've received professional training, with my overall performance ranking among the top!"

Hu Yifei stared straight at him, "You really are kind-hearted!"

Li Yang asked, almost as if possessed, "Are you jealous?"

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes, turned and left, leaving behind the words "What a character!"

Half an hour later.

Shirley Yang walked over with red eyes. Although she was still very sad, a smile bloomed on her face.

She opened her arms and hugged Li Yang tightly.

"Thank you for fulfilling one of my wishes!"

Shirley Yang nestled in Li Yang's arms and mumbled in a low voice.

"Where's your father?"

“He’s already gone. I told him that you had lifted my curse on the Ghost Cave, and he was relieved of his obsession and left.”

Shirley Yang looked up at Li Yang.

"He told me to thank you properly and to repay you in a good way!"

Li Yang smiled slightly, "How do you plan to repay me?"

A hint of shyness appeared on Shirley Yang's pretty face, like a female lead in a traditional opera, as she said in a measured tone, "This humble woman has nothing to repay you with, but I am willing to offer myself..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hu Yifei appeared out of nowhere.

"Li Yang, my cousin believes there must be a passage in this mountain god temple that leads directly to the Minglou, where the main tomb of King Xian is located, and it must be related to the toad symbol. Do you know where that mechanism is?"

Shirley Yang took a deep breath and turned to look at Hu Yifei.

Eyes facing each other.

Neither of them was willing to look away first, as if they would lose something if they did so.

Li Yang waved his hand in front of Shirley Yang's eyes.

"You should know about that toad mechanism, right?"

Shirley Yang sniffed and gave Li Yang a reproachful look.

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, held her head high with a triumphant air, like a victorious rooster.

"I know, it's with my father!"
