Chapter 116: The Master Meets Yung Kau

Chu Wanning saw the light coalescing in the Ghost King's hand and immediately gave Mo Ran a push, saying, "Run!"

Without needing to be told twice, Mo Ran took Chu Wanning by the arm and the two of them swept up to the palace gates.

Mo Ran was furious and cursed, "Master Huai Zui's spell is so meticulous, how could he have left me with a shadow that would show me up?"

Chu Wanning, for some reason, didn't react too badly when he heard his pupil call his master a name, only glancing at Mo Ran and wanting to say something, but in the end not saying anything.

"To escape," grunted the Fourth King from behind, "is not so easy."

At the same time, the Fourth King summoned a thunderbolt from his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the thunderbolt fell on the palace gate.

And with great speed the palace gates roared shut and were sealed in all directions.

Mo Ran cursed, dragged Chu Wanning and ran.

The Four Ghost Kings are strong in their magic, but they have probably been in the wilderness for a thousand years and their bodies are not as strong as the other kings.

With the iron rule of never sitting when you can lie down and never standing when you can sit, the Four Ghost Kings have been lazy for thousands of years, turning themselves into a waste of lightness.

He was furious when he saw Chu Wanning and Mo Ran running further and further away, but he was not too close to the other eight kings because he often searched Luo Beauty in the territories of the other kings of hell, so he did not want to inform the kings to join forces to round them up in such an incident.

"What's the big deal about running fast, although the king is plump but you can't escape the king's palm", the four demon king rubbed his belly, he was even a bit angry and aggrieved, when he turned around and saw the eight brave men carrying the mikoshi for him, he was even more displeased, "What are you doing standing here? You're not going to chase me, are you?"

""

The four ghost kings were said to be beautiful men when they were thin, but because they had not tasted earthly delicacies for too long, they ate and ate in their physical bodies, sitting, lying down, walking and squatting, even when they had to catch up on their work at the busiest time in hell, they had to have two people standing around, not to grind and spread paper, but to cut fresh fruit and feed him pastries to eat.

Although he had a good constitution and would not have gained too much weight even if he ate, he had lost his appearance. After this, the Four Demons King had all the mirrors in his palace thrown out, and the two words he was most unhappy to hear were "fat" and "fat". Half a bend, half a bend, half a moon"

Before the last bend could be uttered, he was kicked out by the Four Ghost Kings in the chest, and scolded, "Fat fat fat bear with your two fat is not enough, you have to sing a third, don't think you can't hear that you're inflecting me in a derogatory way if you take it apart, audacious thing"

So although these palanquin-bearers were brave, they did not dare to chase Chu Wanning and Mo Ran, and each one bowed his head and let the Four Ghost Kings complain, but finally one of them was more resourceful and said, "Your Majesty is so strong and agile that even the king cannot catch up with him, how can we catch up with him?"

The Four Demon Kings breathed a sigh of relief and simply stopped chasing after them, turning their heads to their attendants and saying, "Well, there is some truth in that, and you are all aware of yourselves. All right, that's it. Pass on my order to close all the gates of the palace and cover the walls with a forbidding spell, don't let even a fly out."

He spat, spitting out the grape seeds he had been holding in his mouth, and said sorrowfully, "I'll see how far they both get."

Mo Ran and Chu Wanning are quick and swift, and with all the twists and turns in the palace, they soon have the ghosts chasing them behind them. They hid in a narrow alleyway. Chu Wanning, being a ghost, did not feel tired after running for a long time, but Mo Ran, being a mortal, leaned against the wall and breathed slowly.

Chu Wanning glanced out glumly, "He's sealed off the palace."

Mo Ran slowed his breath and waved his hand, "It's okay, Master, come into the spirit-led lamp so we can return directly to the yang world and he will surely have no way to stop us."

Chu Wanning nodded, but for some reason, his brow looked a little worried.

Without noticing, Mo Ran took out the spirit-led lamp and recited the incantation, but the golden light flashed several times before it was quickly extinguished, and Chu Wanning's earth spirit was still standing in front of him, unmoving.

"What's going on?" Mo Ran was shocked, "Why isn't it working?"

The worry between Chu Wanning's eyebrows became more apparent as he sighed and said, "Just as I thought, the teleportation spell is not working here, so I'm afraid we'll have to go to the palace before we can cast another spell to return to the yang world."

"" Mo Ran sniffed, biting her lip, her eyes stubborn, before saying in a dumb voice for a long time, "No matter what, I'm going to take you out."

Chu Wanning looked at him and said, "We must be quick, the palace is vast and it will not be easy for the ghosts to find you, but there is no water or food here, so I will be fine, but you will not last much longer."

Mo Ran laughed: "I can stand to be hungry, I grew up with it."

After a moment's reprieve, when complete silence had fallen around them, the two men exited the alley and walked down the long, empty, stone street, the cool moon like water, soaking the returning man. One with a shadow, the other without, walking side by side.

Mo Ran said, "Master."

""

"I'm sorry to have offended you just now at the door."

Chu Wanning seemed stunned for a moment, then dropped his lashes and his gaze went cold: "No harm done."

"The situation forced me to do so, and my words were offensive and I'm sorry."

Chu Wanning :""

"It's even more wrong to say you're married, or sorry."

Chu Wanning stopped abruptly and said icily, "You're going to apologise until when you won't say anything else."

"Something else" Mo Ran was baffled, thought about it rather seriously for a moment, and carefully and genuinely changed the word, "I'm so sorry then"

""

Chu Wanning brushes it off.

Poor Mo Ran did not know that his words had upset him again, but he was afraid of disturbing him, and he was afraid that if he said more he would annoy his master even more, so he scratched his head in place and followed honestly.

"Master."

"Hmm."

Mo Ran was halfway through the walk when he couldn't help but ask, "Have you had any karmic encounters before?"

Chu Wanning paused, turned back and asked, "What does it say?"

"I was in the ghost world and found your other earthly soul, that is to say, you have an extra soul than normal I was at Shunfeng House earlier and met Chu Xun, so I asked him about it and he said that normally that extra soul should not be the one you originally had yourself." Mo Ran was a bit hesitant, "But together with the earthly body, I did see four masters, so I wondered if the master had made some kind of karmic connection before"

Chu Wanning was silent for a moment and seemed to think of something, the light in his eyes shifted slightly, but then he closed his eyes and said, "I don't think so."

He paused, seemingly a little puzzled and hesitant, and went on to ask, "Do I really have four souls"

"Hmm."

""

Chu Wanning didn't know why, but after a moment's reflection, he sighed: "It's not for me to answer, so it doesn't matter, let him be."

As the two continued cautiously along the isolated path, they probed for the spiritual power of the spells used by the Four Ghost Kings to seal off the entire palace.

"Where there is a knot, there must be a soft spot of vulnerability."

Chu Wanning said, and came to a quay building, and ran his fingers over the coarse walls, which had a fine blue sheen running through them, and closed his eyes to catch the flow of spirits under the masonry, but as he had no magical powers at the moment, it was very difficult to feel them.

"My soul is incomplete and my power is damaged, so I don't know how to break through for a while."

Mo Ran said, "Why don't you teach me, Master, and I'll give it a try?"

"No, the art of knotting is spiritually complex and cannot be learned in a day or two."

Mo Ran asked, "So what would be the weaknesses of spell boundaries as a rule we should try them over one by one."

"Every knot has different weaknesses, there's nothing that's not usually there, and if we measured them one by one, I really don't know when we'd have to wait."

"We won't know until we try." Mo Ran laughed, "Maybe I'll be extra lucky."

Chu Wanning was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shifting white shadow around the corner.

The white shadow was immediately about to flee.

Mo Ran did not give him the opportunity to do so. He immediately swept over to the ghost and grabbed it, covering its mouth and nose so that it could not call out, then twisted its hands behind its back and kicked it to its knees. When he looked at him, he was furious.

"Yung Kau"

The young man on his knees was delicate and white, like a willow holding the wind, but his eyes dripped with a hint of resignation; he kept his head away and did not say a word.

Mo Ran said angrily, "You're going to snitch again? Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Chu Wanning came over, he hadn't seen Yung Kau before, looked down and asked Mo Ran, "Do you recognise him?"

Mo Ran didn't know what to say, but he thought that he had committed the crimes of theft and adultery and was sent to the public trial by Chu Wanning because of the incident of Yung Kau.

Chu Wanning did not notice the difference, but said that he was an old acquaintance of Mo Ran's, "Since he has come with you, don't leave him here in the palace, but take him with you when you have found a way out."

He said and looked at Rong Jiu carefully again, "Quite a nice person, an early reincarnation is the right thing to do."

Mo Ran :""

When she heard what he said, she first froze, then suddenly smiled and slanted her soft eyes to look at Mo Ran: "This is the master."

"What master? You call yourself a master?" Mo Ran was furious, "My master."

Rong Jiu was resentful and was intent on giving him a hard time, so he said slowly, "Oh, my master."

"You."

As this went on, Chu Wanning realised that something was wrong: "Mo Ran, you have a problem with him."

"I"

Rongjiu smiled and said, "Good master, don't be mean to him, I don't have a problem with him, I just have some old friendships."

Chu Wanning didn't say anything, but his eyes were narrowed and his lips were pursed, he looked quite indifferent, but the gloom between his brows could not be hidden. Chu Wanning's pure nature and the emotions under his eyes could not escape his eyes.

He was surprised that Mo Ran, the seed of flirtation, had the audacity to lust after his mentor, but when he saw him in person, it seemed that Mo Ran's unrequited love was not his wishful thinking.

The top of death and life is so dirty.

Even though the situation was critical, Rong Jiu could not help but sigh, feeling disgusted and amazed. Double cultivation among men in the Xianxia realm is not a strange story, but it is also very unorthodox.

Rongjiu's charming peach blossom eyes were wide open as she looked Chu Wanning up and down and was about to say a few more words to add fuel to the fire when the other party spoke first.

"What's left to talk about old friendships when they're all dead."

"Isn't that what Your Mightiness asked me," laughed Rongjiu, "I'm just answering truthfully."

"Who asked you." Chu Wanning said coldly, "He was the one I asked from the beginning."

"It was obvious who he was referring to, and the tone of his voice was full of fire, and he could not have been clearer in his intention to clear the air with Rongjiu. Mo Ran was relieved to hear that Chu Wanning was favouring him, and his chest heated up as he tried to say a few words to him, but before he could get close, Chu Wanning turned back in anger.

"Do with it what you will and see to it yourself."

But Mo Ran's heart was not sure. If he let Rong Jiu go, he was afraid that he would trip up the two of them and give them information, but if he didn't let him go, he would be like a powder keg, and if he said anything that he shouldn't, he might choke Chu Wanning to death. After a while, when Chu Wanning went to check the Four Demon Kings' spell boundaries, Mo Ran picked up Rong Jiu's lapels and lowered his voice, saying

"What do you really want?"

"My heart is blocked and unsettled." Rong Jiu's eyelashes fluttered delicately, a shimmering light shining inside, "I just can't stand to see evil people like you being able to start all over again."

Mo Ran, however, knows that Rong Jiu is not such a damaging person, this guy has never done anything but harm to himself, even if he is resentful, living his life comfortably and peacefully is what matters to him. There was no reason why he would risk his life to follow them.

With a sweep of his eyes, he landed on Rongjiu's feet.

The overly slender, white feet had one shoe on and one not, and were covered in sludge, clearly the result of a hasty exodus.

Mo Ran narrowed his eyes, "Tell the truth."

Rongjiu: "Didn't I say that the truth is that I'm not used to seeing it"

"If you try to lie and blackmail me again, I'll immediately blindfold and gag you and throw you down a dry well. Mo Ran paused and whispered, "You're on your own."

Rongjiu really paled.

Halfway through the day he said, "I've changed my mind, I don't want to stay here, you have to take me out."

"What, you're not going to be your ghostly husband?"

""Rong Jiu bit his lips tightly before looking up indignantly, "I want to live a normal life too, and be able to start all over again." He took a deep breath and said, "I want to reincarnate."

"Good. Then I'll ask you again, was it you who snitched to the patrol earlier and let them know my whereabouts"

""

"I have a way to interrogate you even if you don't tell me." A red light flashed in Mo Ran's hand and he whispered, "Speak."

"Yeah, I was the one who snitched, but so what." Rongjiu tilted his chin up, a hint of resentment and annoyance flashing in his eyes, "If I hadn't taken the opportunity to show them the way, I could have run out"

Mo Ran jerked his lapels loose and laughed angrily, "You're good at falling on your sword, you big boy."

"I can also spray people with blood." Rong Jiu slowly put his clothes in order and glanced towards Chu Wanning not far away, " Mo Ran, that person you especially care about, right? You used to treat me how to coax me, I told him carefully once, not even need to add vinegar, what do you think he will do"
