Zhong Kui's Diary
Xiao Qingcheng walked up to me and said, "I'll handle that ghost later. You just need to open the file cabinet and take out the documents inside."
I nodded in agreement and casually asked, "Since Li Feidao has collected so much evidence against these big families, there should be a lot of materials, right? Can I handle it all by myself?"
Cui Gu Yi rolled his eyes beside me and said, "These are all secrets that would cause a stir. Do you think they record every trivial matter? Each family has at most a dozen pages, and altogether it would fill at most one suitcase."
At the same time, Fatty had already inserted the key into the Keyhole. With a light click, the key sank completely into the door. With a series of clanking sounds, the metal door in front of us began to sink. Looking at the descending metal door, I couldn't help but gasp; this door was over a meter thick.
I initially thought that behind this metal door was a room, but unexpectedly, there was another metal door behind it. Clank, clank, clank—the second door retracted into the left wall, revealing a third metal door behind it. Then the third door rose to reveal a fourth...
I stared in astonishment as more than ten metal doors sequentially disappeared into the walls. Wow, these doors were all over a meter thick and made of alloy metal. This wasn't just a door; it was practically a city gate passageway. The ten-meter-long passage shimmered with metallic luster. Cui Gu Yi was indeed not lying; this room was like a massive iron block.
At the end of the passage swirled red mist. The mist was so dense that we couldn't see what was inside. Strangely, the red mist only swirled around the exit at the end of the passage, as if there were something transparent blocking it from escaping.
"Wait for us here," Xiao Qingcheng instructed Cui Gu Yi and the others. She glanced at me, and I stretched my limbs as the two of us walked toward the passage.
As we reached the Red Mist, I was about to step in when Xiao Qingcheng stopped me: "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
I looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Without answering, Xiao Qingcheng tore off a piece of black cloth from her body and crumpled it into a ball. With a flick of her hand, she threw the black cloth onto the Red Mist.
"Shh!"
The ball of black cloth was instantly corroded as if thrown into an acid pool, riddled with holes before finally emitting a puff of green smoke that vanished into thin air.
Motherfucker, if I had recklessly charged in just now, I wouldn't have died but would have... been disfigured. I couldn't help but look gratefully at Xiao Qingcheng, who smiled slightly at me before pulling out a wooden sword from her black robe. The sword was exquisite, dark red all over and about the length of a pen.
What on earth is this sword for? Toothpicking?
Just as I was trying to make sense of it all, Xiao Qingcheng suddenly asked me, "Are you a virgin?"
I said unhappily, "Are you insulting me? If I'm still a virgin at my age, then either something's wrong with me or I'm really sick!"
Xiao Qingcheng chuckled, "I was just asking casually. If that's the case, I could take something from you."
Take something? Child urine? Or perhaps child essence? If it's the latter, I suppose I should cooperate a bit. Then I saw Xiao Qingcheng poke a needle into her own arm, pulling it out to let a drop of blood fall onto the wooden sword. She said, "Golden Boy Blood is more effective than Jade Maiden Blood. Since you're not a Golden Boy, it doesn't matter; I'll use my own."
Oh, I didn't expect you to still be a... Jade Maiden! I couldn't help but take another look at Xiao Qingcheng; what a waste, such a good figure. Xiao Qingcheng seemed to know what I was thinking and shot me a glare, saying, "Focus; it's about to begin."
I completely disregarded her warning. Even if there were ghosts, they would come at me first; all I needed to do was walk in confidently, cough once, pull out the documents, and walk out just as confidently. Why should I be nervous? Would I twist my ankle?
After dripping blood onto the wooden sword, Xiao Qingcheng began chanting softly. With a light shout, the wooden sword grew in length, transforming into a Peach Wood Sword over a meter long. Before I could express my surprise, Xiao Qingcheng drew the Peach Wood Sword in a semicircle and thrust it into the Red Mist.
The Red Mist seemed alive and immediately let out a piercing scream that was excruciatingly painful. How can I describe it? It was like the shriek of Invincible East at the moment of self-castration.
Xiao Qingcheng rotated her hand holding the sword, and the screams from the Red Mist grew louder but never ceased. Xiao Qingcheng frowned and pulled out a yellow talisman paper, chanting a few words too quickly for me to catch—whether it was Urgent Command or Om Mani Padme Hum—I couldn't tell. Suddenly, flames erupted from the yellow paper with a whoosh. Xiao Qingcheng lightly shouted and raised her hand; the yellow paper flew forward as if pulled by an invisible thread.
As it approached the Red Mist, the burning talisman accelerated suddenly. With a hiss, it pierced into the Red Mist. There was an explosive sound as flames expanded and contracted three times before finally extinguishing. Simultaneously, the Red Mist let out an extremely shrill scream before falling silent. The Red Mist quickly faded away until it completely disappeared in just a few seconds.
Xiao Qingcheng retracted her wooden sword and waved at me before stepping into the room. Naturally, I followed closely behind.
The room wasn't very large; it measured over twenty meters long and about ten meters wide with a height of around five meters. Aside from a two-meter tall cabinet in the center, there was nothing else inside, making it feel particularly spacious. Strangely enough, despite being inside such a solid iron structure, it didn't feel stuffy at all; light seemed to come from nowhere, making the entire room bright and airy—definitely not underground—indicating there must be some ventilation and lighting system.
Where are the people? Oh no, where are the ghosts? Where are the good ghosts? Could it be that this ghost is bored inside and went out to flirt? Or was that Red Mist just a ghost that Xiao Qingcheng killed? If so, that would be too ridiculous!
"Is this it?" I asked Xiao Qingcheng while pointing at the large cabinet in the middle.
"Yes! Be careful; something feels off about this room," Xiao Qingcheng nodded seriously.
I walked up to the cabinet; it was an old-fashioned double-door style made of material similar to Yin-Yang Ancient Coin—dark red intertwined with deep blue as if flowing slowly yet urgently. I glanced around but saw nothing unusual and reached for the handle.
"Stop!" Xiao Qingcheng suddenly shouted.
I hadn't had time to react when I felt a tight grip around my neck. A large hand firmly grabbed me and then yanked me back, sending me flying through the air. With a thud, I landed five meters away.
Rubbing my backside, I stood up, my face filled with disbelief. It wasn't because I had fallen; it was because, damn it, I have the Yin-Yang Physique! Ordinary ghosts can't harm me unless there are... gods in this room. And Xiao Qingcheng, what kind of expression is that? Didn't you say you could handle ordinary ghosts and even some gods when you came in? Now look, I've been grabbed and tossed around like a sandbag, and you haven't done anything to stop it. You're a fraud! It's all a lie!
I looked around; the room was still empty, nothing at all. Is this god really that powerful? Turning to Xiao Qingcheng, I saw her face full of seriousness, as if this Demon before us had exceeded her expectations.
"Show yourself if you're so tough!" I couldn't help but shout, while secretly reciting the incantation for Transforming Illusions into Reality. Since he can attack me, let's see if I can land a few punches or kicks in return.
"Hehehe... hehehehe..." A ripple appeared in the air, and seeing that ripple told me a Demon was about to reveal itself. Ghost Zombies do this, and so do Raises; now this guy is pulling the same trick.
Sure enough, a long-haired youth with an evil grin appeared before us and said in a sinister voice, "In this room, only those holding the Azure Gold Token can enter. Anyone else will be killed without mercy. I've been like a Wandering Soul down here for decades, not seeing a single outsider. It's so lonely. Hehehehe, but now it's great; I have both of you to play with. I promise I'll wholeheartedly play you two to death."
"What should I call you? What's your big name?" I asked casually while glancing at Xiao Qingcheng. Hey, it's your turn to deal with this Demon.
Xiao Qingcheng was merely muttering incantations, slowly waving her Peach Wood Sword in front of her.
"As for me? Just call me Bip."
"Bip?"
"Yes, Bip!"
What kind of nonsense is that? Bip? Do you think you're an ambulance? Looking back at Xiao Qingcheng, she was still murmuring spells but had quickened the movements of her Peach Wood Sword.
"What are you playing at? It's annoying!" Bip frowned and rushed forward to snatch Xiao Qingcheng's Peach Wood Sword away. With a crack, he broke it in half and tossed it to the ground carelessly.
My mouth dropped open in shock. Damn it, this is on a completely different level! It felt like Xiao Qingcheng was a kindergarten child challenging a Muscular Man with a plastic stick, only for the big guy to walk over and slap her twice until she was disoriented.
Ever since I heard Kong Xuan talk about the gap between humans and ghosts, Daoists and gods, I understood that there are levels within the Yin-Yang Realms. Gods are the most powerful beings in the Underworld; Yang Realm practitioners are exceptional in their own right. In my mind, Xiao Qingcheng was one of the top figures in the Yang Realm—the foremost Daoist—wasn't that enough to be arrogant?
Before entering, I thought that even if there were god-level ghosts inside, it wouldn't matter; after all, Xiao Qingcheng could at least hold her own against them. But reality is so cruel; when Bip fought against Xiao Qingcheng, it was like an adult beating up a child—Xiao Qingcheng had no power to fight back at all.
"What is going on?" I shouted loudly.
"I don't know what's happening, but my magic can only be partially used in this room," Xiao Qingcheng also shouted.
"There's nothing strange about it. I just activated the Restriction. When this room was built, a Restriction was specifically designed for cultivators. My abilities are unaffected, but a cultivator's abilities are reduced to only one-fifth of their usual strength. Of course, as long as you can run out of the room, you can regain your full abilities, but so what? Do you think I would let you escape? Even if you did manage to get out, what could you do to me if I don't leave this room?" Bip laughed as he pointed at Xiao Qingcheng.
Xiao Qingcheng and I exchanged a glance filled with helplessness. If Bip was telling the truth, then we shouldn't even bother with the documents; surviving this ordeal was already a question. We had two options: either rush out to find a solution and come back, or locate and destroy the Restriction.
The room was empty; where could this so-called Restriction be?
"Ghost Brother, what's wrong?" Fatty peeked into the Passage and looked around. "I only hear you yelling in there; what's going on?"
Seeing Fatty, an idea suddenly struck me. If this Restriction was man-made, there would definitely be some clues in the room. Fatty had good eyesight; I could ask him to search for where the switch for this Restriction might be while Xiao Qingcheng and I tried to hold off Bip.
With that thought in mind, I shouted, "Fatty, look for any special devices in this room! Qingcheng, let's hold this guy down." With that, I leaped into the air and kicked towards Bip with lightning speed.
Xiao Qingcheng understood my intention and pulled out a handful of talismans. She quickly chanted incantations as the talismans floated in the air, igniting one after another.
Bip sneered and casually reached out his hand, instantly grabbing my Right Foot. With a sharp shout, he swung me around in the air and used me as a weapon to smash towards Xiao Qingcheng's talismans.
