Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 264 Qinling Sacred Tree (23)

The female ghost in white seemed to have no interest in Wu Xie and Fatty, so she floated straight to Ji Xiao and started chatting with her in a low voice.

Seeing that the female ghost in white ignored him, Wu Xie didn't care. He felt more at ease this way, so he strolled around the tomb with Fatty. After some investigation, he unexpectedly found many stone paintings carved on the surrounding stone walls. Upon closer inspection, the scenes depicted in these stone paintings were clearly the legendary Yunding Palace.

At this moment, Ji Xiao was having a pleasant conversation with the female ghost in white. Curious, Ji Xiao couldn't help asking the female ghost why she appeared here. The female ghost looked in a certain direction with a slightly resentful look in her beautiful eyes, and then told Ji Xiao about her past experiences.

It turns out that this female ghost was a palace maid in the past, who was buried alive here due to her bad fate. Because of the deep resentment in the underground palace, her soul lingered after her death and turned into a ghost, trapped here ever since, unable to escape.

After hearing this, Ji Xiao couldn't help but feel pity for the miserable ghost in front of her. After thinking for a while, she made up her mind to help the ghost escape from the sea of ​​suffering and reach heaven as soon as possible. Having made up her mind, Ji Xiao immediately discussed with the ghost how to get out of the predicament.

On the other hand, Fatty and Wu Xie were thinking hard about how to leave this place. Zhang Qiling did not participate in it from beginning to end. Only when Wu Xie took the initiative to ask him for advice, he would occasionally say a few words.

After all, this was not his first time here, so there was nothing new about this place for him; however, he took care of Ji Xiao meticulously - when she was thirsty, he promptly handed her water or fresh fruit to quench her thirst, and when she was hungry, he would take out hot meals to fill her stomach.

This scene astonished Wu Xie and Ji Xiao who were standing by. When they smelled the refreshing fruity fragrance, they turned their heads involuntarily, and their eyes happened to fall on Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao who were eating peaches with gusto.

As a result, the fat man who was originally thinking about the night pearl on his head instantly gave up the idea and concentrated on the things in front of him. Wu Xie, who had been staring at the murals on the wall, had no time to care about anything else at this moment.

The two walked quickly to Zhang Qiling's side and asked in unison: "Menyouping, how come you have water and fruit?"

"Yeah, I didn't see you guys carrying backpacks either!"

Faced with a series of questions, Zhang Qiling did not explain too much. He just turned over his palm silently, took out two bottles of mineral water and a few bags of bread and handed them to the two of them like a magic trick.

Although it all seemed so unbelievable, the two still reached out to take it, raised the food in their hands and said gratefully, "Thank you very much."

Wu Xie and Fatty sat aside, chewing food, but their eyes never left Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao.

They watched with curiosity as Ji Xiao took out a yellow talisman and carefully explained to the female ghost in front of them, "I drew this talisman, and it works quite well. You just need to place it on the sarcophagus, and it will help you transcend and reincarnate as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the ghost girl's eyes were filled with tears. She thanked Ji Xiao repeatedly and reached out to take the life-saving talisman. However, just as the ghost girl was about to take action, a dull sound suddenly came from the stone wall next to the tomb.

The four people and the ghost turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw the man with black glasses walking towards them with big strides.

The man wearing black glasses had a playful smile on his face as he looked at the four people and one ghost living in harmony.

As he walked, he jokingly said, "Yo, everyone is here. Dumb, bring me something to eat."

When Ji Xiao saw that the person coming was the man with black glasses, she immediately teased him, "Wow, you're still alive. Didn't you bring any food with you when you went down to the battlefield? How did you survive?"

The man with black glasses paid no attention to Ji Xiao's sarcasm. He swaggered over to the crowd and found a place to sit down.

Then, he continued with a smirk on his face: "That's different. When I go into battle with you and your wife, I don't need to bring my own dry food. And I'm a mute, so I won't let you go hungry or thirsty." After saying that, he deliberately winked at Zhang Qiling.

Black Glasses' words made Ji Xiao's fair cheeks flushed slightly. She glared at Black Glasses fiercely, but her eyes involuntarily turned to Zhang Qiling who was standing beside her.

Zhang Qiling still had no expression on his face, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him. He silently took out a bottle of water and a few small loaves of bread, and handed them to Black Glasses.

Black Glasses had a smile on his face. He took the things without hesitation and said jokingly, "Okay, dumb, now you have learned to care about others."

At this time, the female ghost in white floated in front of the man with black glasses. She stared at him fiercely, with anger flashing in her eyes. She remembered this man, who had teased her before.

Upon seeing this, the man with black glasses quickly explained with a smile: "Hey, little sister, don't be angry, I just acted like that because I was too bored." After that, he deliberately winked, trying to make the "beautiful" female ghost in front of him laugh.

Seeing this, the fat man stood up and stood in front of the man with black glasses, saying righteously: "How dare you be so rude to my brother, you bold ghost."

Wu Xie looked at the scene in front of him and finally couldn't help laughing. He waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, stop making trouble. Let's think about how to get out."

Everyone nodded and began to discuss ways to get out.
