Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 221 Wandering in the Underworld and Can’t Find the Way Home

"Are you so kind?" Hei Wuchang frowned and looked at Yan Wuque suspiciously, thinking to himself: I was afraid that this guy was stingy, so why is he so generous? Is there something fishy going on? He couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Bai Wuchang also stared at Yan Wuque with suspicion, waiting for his explanation.

Both of them felt that this matter was too strange and the truth needed to be found out.

Yan Wuque hugged the shoulders of the Black and White Impermanence and said with a smile: "My two ghost messengers, the 100,000 taels of silver are my filial piety to you. I am also a married man, and I understand your feelings very well. Besides, didn't you just say that it is difficult to even find a female ghost because you have no money?"

The faces of the Black and White Impermanence became embarrassed. They didn't expect that their whispers were heard by Yan Wuque.

Hei Wuchang sighed helplessly and said, "Did you hear everything we discussed just now?"

Yan Wuque's mouth twitched, thinking: You guys are whispering right in front of me, how can I not hear you? But he still pretended to be calm and replied:

"I heard it. You didn't avoid me, so of course I heard it."

Bai Wuchang asked with a worried look on his face: "Then you are not allowed to tell anyone, otherwise our reputation will be ruined in this life!"

Yan Wuque waved his hands and consoled them: "No, no, don't worry. That's why I gave you an extra 100,000 taels of silver, just so you can have enough money to find the female ghost!"

He deliberately pretended to be understanding and tried to allay the Black and White Impermanence's concerns.

"Alright. Since you are sensible, that's it. Remember to burn 300,000 taels of paper money for us."

Yan Wuque heaved a sigh of relief and said hastily, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

The Black and White Impermanence looked at each other, nodded, and then disappeared on the spot.

Yan Wuque looked at the two ghost messengers who had disappeared, and shouted anxiously with sweat on his forehead: "Two ghost messengers, where are you going? You have to take me back, I don't know the way!"

However, all Yan Wuque got in response was cold air and endless silence. He never expected that the Black and White Impermanence would be so unethical as to abandon him in the underworld.

As a ghost, Yan Wuque was not questioned by anyone while wandering around, and people mistakenly thought he was a new ghost. But he knew that the Black and White Impermanence left him here because they were afraid that the King of Hell would catch them. Therefore, he did not dare to ask other ghosts for the way home easily, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Yan Wuque could only wander aimlessly in the underworld. In the dark underworld, he could not find the way home. Finally, he sat dejectedly in a corner, feeling extremely desperate.

Jing Zichu and Lingyi took turns guarding Yan Wuque. Seeing Yan Wuque's painful and distorted expression, they were extremely anxious, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Because they were worried that any wrong move would put Yan Wuxian into a more dangerous situation.

"Lingyi, go and see if the weird old man has woken up. My sister-in-law is also unconscious now, and my eldest brother is the same. I wonder if the weird old man can wake them up. If they go on like this, they will all starve to death!" Jing Zichu said with a worried look on his face.

Ling nodded and turned to check on the old man from Tianshan. He was snoring like thunder and sleeping soundly. No matter how he called, he couldn't wake him up.

Lingyi shook his head helplessly. He knew that he could only wait for this strange old man to wake up naturally.

The mood of the crowd became increasingly depressed, and everyone was anxiously waiting for Yan Wuque and his wife to wake up.

The silence around makes people feel an inexplicable fear, as if time has stopped.

It was not until dark that the old man from Tianshan finally rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and slowly got up.

Lingyi, who had been guarding outside the door, heard the noise and immediately rushed into the room excitedly, saying to the old man Tianshan:

"You finally woke up! Come on, I've prepared some delicious food, come and try it!"

The old man from Tianshan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are a man of conscience. Let's go now. I am starving."

After saying that, he followed Lingyi out of the room, saying: "Boy, get some wine."

Zero One nodded and agreed quickly.

Lingyi served the old man from Tianshan and even brought a pot of wine and poured it for him personally.

The old man from Tianshan, who was well-fed and satisfied, said with a smile: "Boy, if someone tries to please you without any reason, you are either a traitor or a fraud. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Master Dao, there is a roast chicken here. My brothers just roasted it. You eat it first, I'll be back soon. We really have something to ask you." After saying that, Lingyi turned around and called Jing Zichu.

The old man from Tianshan was happily gnawing on the roast chicken, drinking a sip of wine while sipping the chicken. He looked so comfortable that the guards who delivered the roast chicken were all hungry.

"Lord Jing, the old man has woken up. He just served him food and water. I am here to look after the prince. Please ask the old man to come and see what's going on with the prince," Lingyi said in a low voice.

"Well. Keep an eye on the prince. I'll go ask the old man and see what he wants." Jing Zichu said and turned to leave.

Jing Zichu came to the room where the old man from Tianshan was. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door and entered the room after getting permission.

"Old immortal, please save my brother and sister-in-law," Jing Zichuyi said as he lifted his brocade robe and knelt on the ground.

When the old man from Tianshan heard what Jing Zichu said, he was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. You actually called me old immortal, which is much better than Lingyi's black face. Tell me what's the matter. That couple can't die. Do you have anything else to ask the Taoist master?"

When Jing Zichu saw this, he kowtowed and said, "Old Immortal, my brother. He hasn't woken up yet and his facial expression is very painful. Please, old immortal, go and see my brother. If you have any requests, just ask."

After hearing what Jing Zichu said, the old man from Tianshan frowned, stood up and walked to the bedside, looking at Yan Wuque who was lying on the bed. Yan Wuque frowned, closed his eyes, and had an extremely painful expression on his face, as if he was enduring some great pain.

The old man from Tianshan put his hand on Yan Wuque's wrist. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. He's just a little weak and needs to recuperate for a while. As for why he needs to recuperate, it may be because he was seriously injured and his body has not fully recovered yet."

After hearing what the old man from Tianshan said, Jing Zichu felt a little relieved, but he still asked worriedly: "Old Immortal, is there any way to wake up my brother quickly?"

The old man from Tianshan thought for a moment and said, "There is a way, but it requires some precious medicinal herbs and elixirs. However, these things are hard to find, and they are expensive."

Seeing this, Jingzichu said quickly: "As long as I can save my brother, I am willing to do it no matter how much it costs."

The old man from Tianshan nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, leave it to me. I will do my best." After that, the old man from Tianshan left the room.
