Ghosts Know What I Experienced

Chapter 46 Part 1

Four hours ago, the First Emperor had taken Xi Jia away from the Bell Tower, and Ye Jingzhi immediately chased after to rescue.

Besides Nan Yi, Hu Die, and the others of the younger generation who felt quite confident in their strength, the rest currently gathered at Chang’an were all great masters that stood at the apex of the Xuanxue world (the kind who could fly). The head, Cengxiu-zhenjun, wanted to stop Ye Jingzhi at that time, but he didn’t think he would get an unexpected answer like that. Cengxiu-zhenjun was stunned in place and spaced out for half a minute before returning to his senses, “Fellow daoists, let us quickly chase after that Qin Shi……”

Cengxiu-zhenjun, “……” Chase for what, ah!

The great masters who were all trembling after being scared by Qin Shi Huang, at this time, opened their phones without exception and “papapa”ed away, typing on WeChat.

【 Master Buxing: Editor, big scoop! Qin Shi Huang called Xi Jia, Young Daoist Xi, an “unfilial son.” Young Daoist Ye also said that Young Daoist Xi is his wife! Quick, give this poor monk points! This scoop is this poor monk’s! 】

【 Zhufeng-zhenren: Xi Jia is Qin Shi Huang’s son. Xi Jia is Ye Jingzhi’s wife. This poor daoist wants points! Quick! 】

【 Qishan-daoren: Am I first, am I first? No matter, this old man is first! Ghost King Xi is Qin Shi Huang’s son, Ghost King Xi is also Young Daoist Ye’s wife. Ghosts Know, quickly give this old man points, or else this old man will charge into your HQ and show you guys who’s boss! 】

There were over thirty great masters present. Besides Cengxiu-zhenjun, everyone else was sending texts with lowered heads.

The most resentful among everyone present was Zhuzhao-zhenren. His face was flushed, and his eyes were red. From the tapping sounds, it seemed like his phone screen was nearly about to break. After everyone had finished sending the news, they looked at him with some surprise. Until finally, Zhuzhao-zhenren roared at the sky, “This poor daoist didn’t give out a fake scoop! Young Daoist Xi is Young Daoist Ye’s future wife! ‘Ghosts Know,’ give back this poor daoist’s reputation!!!”

Everyone: So it was Zhuzhao-zhenren who gave the “fake scoop!”

At this time, three minutes had already passed since Xi Jia had been taken away with Ye Jingzhi giving chase. After these unreliable great masters had finished giving out the scoop, they eventually recalled the matter of needing to go rescue someone.

Fortunately, Cengxiu-zhenjun was fairly reliable. Cengxiu-zhenjun never took out his phone and sent the scoop. Rather, he kept a stern expression as he said seriously, “Unexpectedly, it really was Qin Shi Huang who had caused the Hundred Ghost Parade. Fellow daoists, we must not sit idly by and wait for death. Young Daoist Xi has been taken away by Qin Shi Huang, and Young Daoist Ye is currently giving chase. We must not be frantic. However, the current situation is urgent, and every moment counts. This poor daoist has a suggestion. Each fellow daoist should form pairs and look for the three of them, using Chang’an Bell Tower as the center. Fellow Daoist Buxing, Fellow Daoist Qishan, Fellow Daoist Jiqin……and this poor daoist, we will search separately and extend our range of search.”

As the sect master of Zi Wei Xing Hall and also the number one in the Xuanxue world, everyone didn’t have any objections against Cengxiu-zhenjun’s proposal.

Although the Xuanxue world seemed to be done for, being able to persevere all these years, they’re not truly done for, indicating that these masters were still very dedicated to their work. After determining each group’s division of work, they went in all directions to find Xi Jia’s and Ye Jingzhi’s whereabouts. The focus wasn’t to catch Qin Shi Huang but to find where they are and notify everyone. They all weren’t a match for Qin Shi Huang. Only when they teamed up would it be possible to rescue Xi Jia from Qin Shi Huang’s hands.

Qishan-daoren thought for a moment and said directly, “A monk can run, but a temple cannot. This old man will go to the Mausoleum and take a look.”

And thus, Qishan-daoren had arrived at the Mausoleum at one o’clock in the morning.

At two o’clock in the morning, the desolate countryside was truly too boring, and there was no cellphone signal. Qishan-daoren might as well lay down an enchantment. Being prepared meant less worry.

By four o’clock in the morning, Qishan-daoren was lying on the ground and cracking melon seeds when he suddenly heard the First Emperor’s voice. Then afterwards……it was the situation that Xi Jia was now seeing.

The First Emperor was tall and mighty. He was at least 190cm tall. He lifted Qishan-daoren like he was lifting a chick, simply and effortlessly.

Qishan-daoren was so scared that he didn’t dare make a sound. He looked at Qin Shi Huang for a moment, then Xi Jia, and then Ye Jingzhi. When he saw the tiny Ziying sitting on the relic, he uttered an “eh” sound in surprise.

The First Emperor coldly humped. Qishan-daoren’s face paled in fright. His eyes rolled and closed, and he straightened his legs, acting like he’s dead.

Xi Jia, “……” Do you have to be so scared?!

The First Emperor had no interest in Qishan-daoren. He gave a couple glances at this white-haired old man that he was carrying before throwing him onto the ground in disgust.

After Qishan-daoren was thrown to the ground, he stopped playing dead. After all, he was a great master of the Xuanxue world. Qishan-daoren now understood that the situation didn’t seem so complicated. Xi Jia and Ye Jingzhi were standing beside Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang didn’t seem to be after their lives. Perhaps……Qin Shi Huang was like Qin San Shi and also had a good temperament?

Noticing that Qishan-daoren’s gaze kept on sneaking glances at him, the First Emperor angrily scoffed, “You peasant, another glance and We will have your head!”

That’s not a good temperament at all!!!

Qishan-daoren’s body trembled. With small scurried steps, he ran to Ye Jingzhi’s side and whispered, “Y-y-y-young Daoist Ye, what’s going on with Qin Shi Huang?”

Ye Jingzhi started to carefully explain to Qishan-daoren.

Listening to Ye Jingzhi, Qishan-daoren’s expression constantly changed. Listening until the very end, he sullenly vomited a mouthful of foul qi, “If I had known earlier that it was going to be like this, this old man wouldn’t have set up the Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array! That array was the result of this old man’s research for the past five years. One spell requires complete dragon bones. Now they’re all wasted. This old man’s Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array……This old man’s Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array, ah!”

Qin Shi Huang sneered, “That puny dragon, you even dare say that it is a dragon-imprisoning array?”

Suddenly being questioned by someone on his research results, Qishan-daoren angrily wanted to retort. He had just turned his head and saw an indifferent First Emperor when he withdrew his head in fright, not daring to utter a sound. After a long time had past, he muttered with a voice like a mosquito’s buzz, “The array can definitely draw Ling Xiao and imprison you. Who knows why Ling Xiao didn’t pay attention to this old man this time……”

This really wasn’t bragging. Qishan-daoren was a formations genius seen only once every three hundred years in the Xuanxue world, and he possessed extremely high attainments in formations. It was because Qishan-daoren didn’t concentrate on cultivating formations. Otherwise, his accomplishments wouldn’t be at this level and would definitely be one level higher.

Since Qishan-daoren had dared to bring out the Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array against the First Emperor, then there was at least a 50% certainty.

Four months ago, when the First Emperor opened the door to pick up Ziying, all the Celestial Masters of the Xuanxue world had all seen Ling Xiao sending divine lightning at the First Emperor the moment he appeared. The First Emperor reached out, and the yin energy leaked out from his body. It was very clear that he wasn’t tolerated by Ling Xiao.

The Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array was practically the solution to the problem, hitting the nail on the head.

The most powerful thing about the array wasn’t the dragon’s aura contained within the dragon bones but Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array, once the the large array was completed, Ling Xiao would appear. Qishan-daoren didn’t believe it. Qin Shi Huang now had a way to hide from Ling Xiao’s perception. Could it be that after he had to personally ask Ling Xiao and told Ling Xiao that “Qin Shi Huang is here,” Ling Xiao still wasn’t able to notice him?

However, Daddy Ling Xiao just had to ignore Qishan-daoren. Qishan-daoren dejectedly cursed Daddy Ling Xiao a hundred times in his mind.

Not long after, Cengxiu-zhenjun arrived at the Mausoleum in a hurry. Cengxiu-zhenjun saw the scene of Xi Jia, Ye Jingzhi, and Qin Shi Huang all together in harmony. He looked a while longer in shock before putting down his sword. He walked up to Qishan-daoren and asked tentatively, “Fellow Daoist Qishan, didn’t you tell us to hurry and come because the First Emperor is here? Now, what is going on?”

Qishan-daoren was still feeling depressed about why his formation was useless. He turned around, “Go ask them!”

Cengxiu-zhenjun, “Young Daoist Ye?”

Ye Jingzhi very patiently repeated the situation to Cengxiu-zhenjun.

Not long after, Zhufeng-zhenren and Master Buxing also arrived at the scene in succession after receiving Qishan-daoren’s notification. When Zhuzhao-zhenren arrived, his red eyes were fixed on Xi Jia without blinking. Xi Jia was unable to make heads or tails of it and didn’t know when he had offended this master.

After all the Celestial Masters arrived, Cengxiu-zhenjun told them that the First Emperor really wanted to go home. The Celestial Masters simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. Only Zhuzhao-zhenren was still staring at Xi Jia with wide eyes as if he didn’t hear anything.

Xi Jia, “……”

Turning his head to look to the side, Xi Jia saw Zhuzhao-zhenren again.

“……” Why are you still looking at me, ah!

Since Qin Shi Huang himself wanted to go back to the Mausoleum, it naturally was a delight. Every great master couldn’t wait to send Qin Shi Huang back. However, before that, Cengxiu-zhenjun suddenly recalled a matter, “Fellow Daoist Qishan, this poor daoist knows of your Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array. After you used the array, did Ling Xiao really not respond?”

Qishan-daoren was trembling in anger, “Didn’t pay attention at all!”

Cengxiu-zhenjun was puzzled, “How could it be.”

Saying this, Cengxiu-zhenjun turned and look at Master Buxing. Their gazes met, and they suddenly understood. Among the other great masters, Zhufeng-zhenren and Jiqin-daoren also came to an understanding one by one. They looked at Qishan-daoren with a heavy expressions. Being looked at, Qishan-daoren became even more depressed.

Things were not that simple.

Before finding Qin Shi Huang today, the great masters of the Xuanxue world weren’t particularly afraid. In their hearts, they always felt that Ling Xiao wouldn’t allow Qin Shi Huang to appear in the mundane world. Otherwise, Ling Xiao wouldn’t have sent divine lightning at Qin Shi Huang four months ago.

However, now that Qishan-daoren had used the Ling Xiao Imprisoning Dragons Array and Ling Xiao didn’t even give half a reaction, could it be that Ling Xiao didn’t care about the First Emperor? Then what if the First Emperor suddenly reneged one day and really decided to exterminate the Xuanxue world? Then, wouldn’t they have no strength to counterattack, and could only try to see if the First Emperor’s Gulu Sword was stronger, or if the nuke was stronger?

The Celestial Masters’ moods were complicated, and they didn’t want to talk.

How could Qin Shi Huang care about what these Celestial Masters were thinking in their minds. Looking at these heavy-faced Celestial Masters, he coldly humphed and suddenly stomped on the ground. A powerful shockwave spread out from beneath the First Emperor’s foot. Even Mt. Li slightly shook.

Many people who were evacuated by the government and forced to leave Chang’an suddenly felt a tremor. One by one, their faces paled in fright and said in disbelief, “There’s really an earthquake in Chang’an?!”
