There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 160 Encountering a Divine Beast
He ignored the screams of Ouyang's family on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone after explaining the situation clearly.He knew that Ouyang's family loved Ouyang Xia, a young lady with little strength, and she might arrive with the whole medical team in a short time. Before that, he should ask Ouyang Xia why she went up the mountain and who she met on the mountain. Maybe it has something to do with Zigui's disappearance.After making up his mind, he followed to Dr. Zhou's clinic and stood outside the emergency room without saying a word, watching indifferently as Dr. Zhou was busy cleaning Ouyang Xia's wound, disinfecting, stopping bleeding, and bandaging.After Dr. Zhou walked out of the emergency room covered in sweat, he asked, "Doctor Zhou, is she—is she okay?"

Dr. Zhou took off the mask and said, "Life is safe, but I don't know how many stitches are needed for this injury..."

After a moment of silence, he said, "Is she awake now?"

"The anesthesia hasn't passed yet, so let's wait." Doctor Zhou seemed tired, so he didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder, explained a few words to the nurse who took care of Ouyang Xia, and then walked into the inner room.

The clinic in the village is small, with only four beds in two wards. The nurse sent Ouyang Xia to one of them, and he followed suit.Looking at Ouyang Xia who was still unconscious, he found a chair and sat down. "Excuse me, how long will it take for her to wake up?" he asked the nurse.

"Hmm... Maybe another 10 minutes." The nurse said, "Do you want to wait here?"

"Yes, thanks for your hard work."

What the nurse said was right, after about ten minutes, Ouyang Xia woke up, "Ah, it hurts! It's terrible! Help!" Immediately she cried loudly.

"Quiet." He shouted coldly.

"Huang, Huangfu law...?" After looking at him carefully for a while, Ouyang Xia looked at him tremblingly and smiled, "Did you save me?"

He didn't like Ouyang Xia's expression of surprise and joy mixed with complacency, but it looked like he had caught some prey. "No. I just arrived." He replied indifferently, "I heard from the doctor here that you were found at the intersection of the mountain. I have notified your family and they said they would come over immediately. Are you really Fortunately, the neck was not bitten by a wild beast."

"You, what do you mean?!" Before the injury healed, Ouyang Xia wanted to sit up and yell, but of course she fell back on the bed in pain, but she still stared at him fiercely.

"Even if I saved you, you don't have to be complacent, because I've never been helpless." He said, "Why did you come here?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ouyang Xia snorted and turned her head away.

He didn't want to meddle in Ouyang Xia's affairs either. "Then please don't trouble me," he said. "Before your family arrives, please rest well." With that, he stood up.Although I thought about whether I could ask Ouyang Xia's purpose here, it was futile as expected.He also didn't want to continue wasting time on a woman like Ouyang Xia who didn't know how to live or die. Compared with Ouyang Xia, he was more worried about Zi Gui whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Huangfulu! How dare you leave Miss Ben in such a place?!" Ouyang Xia yelled at him regardless of his shoulder injury.

With his back to Ouyang Xia, he closed the door without showing any expression.

I didn't expect that walking the mountain road was really tiring!Zigui panted and looked at Li Cheng who was following her with "floating".The mountain air was mixed with humidity and forest miasma, and it made her chest tingle a little when she breathed it into her lungs.

"General, take a break." Li Cheng said, "You still have injuries on your hands."

"Okay, I'm exhausted too." She took a breath and sat down against a tree, "It's not a serious injury, it's just a scrape, and my winter clothes are also thick, with only a few scratches , oozing some blood." The sky in the distance gradually turned gray-blue, and it was already dawn.He looked at his watch and didn't go back all night. Brother Xiuwen might be worried. Brother Chopsticks would probably be furious if he found out that she disappeared without even making a phone call.She also wanted to call Brother Xiuwen and tell them where she was going, but when she touched her pocket, she realized that she didn't bring a phone when she went out at night. She was really stupid. "It's very kind of you, you don't need to walk." She muttered, and after walking all night, she was also thirsty, and wondered if there was any water source nearby.

"General, are you really going to that place?" Li Cheng said with some concern in his respectful tone.

"It's okay, it's not that I haven't been there before." She waved her hand and said, "It's just that I haven't tried to walk there before." Moreover, it took too much time to walk over the mountain, and she regretted her recklessness a bit. "Ouyang Xia should be fine, right?" She sighed, although she didn't like it, you could even say she hated Ouyang Xia, but she would never be able to watch Ouyang Xia being bitten to death under such circumstances.Maybe grandpa thought the same way when he faced the evil spirit beast back then, so he saved Grandpa Huangfu regardless of himself?
"It should be fine. The injury looks serious, but it didn't really hurt her vitals. Besides, didn't the general use spells to temporarily stop her bleeding?" Li Cheng said.

"The problem is, according to the book, the effect of the spell is only three hours, that is, six hours. If no one finds her this morning, I'm afraid..." But people in the village got up early, so they should be able to find Ouyang summer.The situation at that time didn't make her think too much. Although she told Ouyang Xia to run quickly and cast the only healing spell she knew on her body, it was still hard to say whether Ouyang Xia could insist on running down the mountain.

"General, life and death are up to you. You have tried your best, so don't worry about it too much." Li Cheng advised.

She nodded and said, "I know." She was a bad guy, how could she not understand the truth of "The King of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and won't keep you until the fifth watch"? "Let's keep going. It will probably be bright when we get there. If we finish it early, we can go down the mountain when the sky is bright." The sun is strong during the day, and many ghosts and monsters will hide, which will save her a lot of trouble. "By the way, Li Cheng, you won't have any problems during the day, right?" Incorporeal ghosts are more difficult to resist the yang energy during the day, so they gather in places with heavy yin energy to form a **.

"Don't worry, general, it's okay to be humble." Li Cheng smiled lightly.

Li Cheng is different from the ghosts she has encountered in the past. He has no trace of madness, and has always been calm and peaceful. He only shows resentment when he talks about King Gui. Without the scattered yin, she might just treat Li Cheng as an ordinary person. "The breath seems to be getting weaker, I have to hurry up." She moved her ankle.

"Has the general met there before?" Li Cheng asked.

"Yeah, I saved my life." She shrugged mockingly, if it wasn't for the blue stone, why would she be standing here now?Huh?Didn't she not bring the stone this time?Why is it okay? "Let's go quickly." I don't think about it for the time being, I will chase after him first.

Rewind the time to twelve o'clock at night.Zigui stayed under the stele until 12:30, when Li Cheng came back. "General, you said that the person who went up the mountain seemed to be looking for something." Li Cheng said with a gloomy expression.

"What are you looking for? Does that person want to dig up General Zining's tomb?" She sneered, ha!It turned out that he was a reckless person. If he wanted to enter the tomb of General Zi Ning, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the barrier protecting the tomb!

"No." Li Cheng shook his head, "Reporting to the general, that man was looking for the ghost on the mountain. The humble official saw that woman put the soul wandering between the mountains and forests into his bracelet."

"What? Does she want to destroy all those ghosts or send them to the ghost world?" she muttered.

"According to my humble position, this is not the case." Li Cheng said solemnly, "If you save the dead soul and send it to where it should go, how can you take the soul back into the magic weapon you carry?"

"Then what does she want to do..." She pondered for a while, and an idea inexplicably floated in her mind—could there be another person who wanted to follow the example of the Huangfu family in the past, and wanted to transfer the spiritual power of ghosts to herself to enhance her own strength? "Tsk, it's another ignorant person!" Once Hades realizes it, maybe she won't be able to plead for mercy this time and settle the matter!
"General, I have seen something even more terrifying in this humble position." Li Cheng's face became more serious.

"What else did you see? Tell me, you won't scare me to death." She waved her hand casually.

"The humble job saw the beast." Li Cheng said seriously.

"Spiritual beast?" She almost immediately remembered the pair of huge eyes she saw just before leaving the room, couldn't it be such a coincidence?
"Yes, I saw the evil spirit beast." Li Cheng continued.

Her heart skipped a beat, "An evil spirit beast? How do you know it's an evil spirit beast? Maybe it's a bigger lion." She laughed dryly "haha".

"The humble official has seen it with the general before, and he will never mistake it." Li Cheng said, "And the humble official has also seen a lion, how can he not tell the difference?"

"Is there an evil spirit beast beside General Zining?" She was taken aback.Who is this General Zi Ning?There are some strange props on him, and there are evil spirit beasts beside him? !

Li Cheng's expression didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded. "That woman seems to have offended the evil spirit beast." Li Cheng added, "When I was about to report to the general, I saw the evil spirit beast chasing that woman."

"Enraged?" That's not a joke. The evil spirit beast is a ferocious beast, not a cute and cute puppy. Once you get angry with it, you won't be able to get away with it just by roaring twice! "I have to go and see right away." She didn't have the confidence to defeat the evil spirit beast, but at least went to see if there was a chance to save the idiot who angered the evil spirit beast from escaping.Also, she didn't want another ghost next to the tombstone of her previous life! "Where are they?" She asked Li Cheng quickly.

"General?" Li Cheng's expression was a little puzzled, but it was quickly replaced by a knowing smile, "The last time I saw them was near the general's tombstone."

The fastest way is to transfer instantly. "Order to the other side." After Zigui finished chanting the incantation, he arrived at the tombstone of the general's tomb in just a moment, but he was a little tired, and it seemed that he had consumed a lot of her spiritual power, and she hoped that she still had the strength to escape later.Li Cheng also appeared beside her, it seems that the activities of ghosts are much more convenient than hers. "Li Cheng, you should find a place to hide first." She said.

"General?"

"Isn't the evil spirit beast a town house to ward off evil spirits? It has a powerful deterrent effect on ghosts and ghosts." She said.

Li Cheng smiled, "The general laughed at me. The evil spirit beast doesn't seem to have much influence on the humble staff."

It turns out that Li Cheng isn't even afraid of evil spirit beasts?sharp. "Where did they go?" She looked anxiously at the darkness in front of her, where would she find it——
