Wanbao Lady

Chapter 420: Air-eating Ghost

Rocky gully.

The mountain road at the edge was covered with a layer of light white mist, and at the bottom of the ravine, it was white and endless.

Any normal person would not come here in the middle of the night.

But tonight, not only did people come, but quite a few came.

Led by a fourth-rank detective from the Demon Suppression Division, a group of detectives, some wearing green official robes, some wearing stone-blue official robes, were on full alert and surrounded the ravine.

On the hill next to it, a woman in red was watching quietly.

"Everyone be careful later. Don't alert the enemy before you find the place!"

"Yes!" Everyone deliberately lowered their voices.

As one figure after another jumped into the air, thick white fog suddenly spread out, and soon closed again like a door curtain.

-

Rocky gully.

Inside the underground tomb.

All I saw were air-eating ghosts with green hair and fangs, blurry faces, thin bodies, and mist instead of feet coming in and out of the house.

Several ghosts, who were slightly larger than normal, looked like supervisors. They opened their eyes wide and scanned everywhere like hawks. Anyone who dared to be lazy would be whipped.

The whip was thin and long, and the slightest contact with the skin and flesh caused the little devil below to scream in pain, and his hands and feet became much more nimble.

The ghosts were trembling with fear and dared not resist.

Some took out bunches of colored threads from the storehouse and distributed them one by one; the air-eating ghosts who received the threads smeared the threads with their sticky saliva, and when the saliva dried a little, they passed them to the next batch of companions. The next batch of ghosts hung the threads on bamboo poles to dry in the shade.

Busy but not chaotic, everything is well organized.

Looking at those silk threads with sparkling saliva hanging on them, and thinking that these things could be used to make clothes for humans, the faces of the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau turned pale in an instant.

The hands are ready to make a move.

After observing for a while and confirming the situation, as the leader of the Demon Suppression Division made a gesture, the people from the Demon Suppression Division rushed down like tigers emerging from the mountains.

In an instant, the entire tomb was in chaos and uproar.

......

An hour later.

I saw ghosts being tied up, like frightened birds, some of them were dejected, some were struggling wildly, and some were brave enough to shout and scream.

"Sir, please spare my life!"

"We are also forced to do this!"

"Do you know whose ghosts we are? Lady Ghost Weaver will not let you go!" A large ghost supervisor was shouting wildly, but he was slapped on the head by the people from the Demon Suppression Division who were escorting him, and stars appeared in his eyes.

"Shut up and be honest!"

The fourth-rank detective from the Demon Suppression Division, who was at the back, was holding something that looked like a golden egg in his hand and examining it carefully.

If you look closely, you can see that the shell of the "golden egg" is made up of transparent silk threads, but they are entangled and wrapped together to form an oval shape. Inside the "egg", there are strands of golden lines, emitting a bright light, trying to break free but unable to.

You can only go around in circles inside the "egg" in vain.

But then I saw a flash of light before my eyes, and a figure in red appeared in front of me.

When the people from the Demon Suppression Division saw this, they all nodded and greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Hey, this will be a great achievement when I go back!

"It's actually these air-eating ghosts that are causing trouble!" The woman in red looked up and down at the group of ghosts, and then looked at the "golden egg" with her eyes lighting up.

"It turns out that everyone's good luck is collected here!"

Qin Lingshan lowered her head to look, feeling the breath inside the "egg", and murmured.

......

Not long after, everyone finished their work and left. There was no one left in the ravine.

Half a minute later, the ghost supervisor holding a transparent "eggshell" in one hand poked his head out from behind a distant mountain tremblingly. Seeing that there was no one around, he dared to show up.

He patted his chest repeatedly, terrified and frightened, "Phew~ I was so scared! Fortunately, it's my turn to report today, otherwise, I would have reported it here today!"

He rolled his eyes and said, "It seems that I can't stay in Nongzhou any longer. I have to go back and tell the adults about this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and went into the ground, and his figure disappeared.

-

The next day.

The streets were bustling with news that Jinxiu Manor in the south of the city was sealed off by the government at dawn on the charge of colluding with foreign races, and Song Erniang, the merchant who made her fortune from this, was also taken away for interrogation.

Cartloads of exquisite embroidery threads were confiscated and their whereabouts disappeared.

The government also issued a notice overnight that the clothes, handkerchiefs and other items produced by Jinxiu Manor were all processed by evil people and would be harmful to the human body if worn for a long time.

At this point, everyone was horrified, and no matter how reluctant they were, they had no choice but to throw away the clothes. A wave of burning clothes gradually spread throughout the city, and every day you could see people burning clothes in their homes, with gray smoke rising.

In contrast to the desolate Jinxiu Manor, all other embroidery workshops, clothing stores, and shops in the city celebrated loudly at the same time, and they began to flourish again like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

At the same time, similar crackdown operations were being prepared in other prefectures and counties.

-

Inside Pianyun Villa.

Looking at her old mother discussing embroidery skills with Mrs. Shen, Qin Lingshan stood by the door with warmth in her eyes.

As long as I finish this station, I will return to my hometown Qingzhou! Then I can help my mother sort out the manuscripts and books, so that I will have no regrets.

I have been away from my hometown for more than 20 years, and I don’t know how it is now…

And Master and everyone...

Thinking of this, the woman's eyes wandered and she couldn't help but look towards the eastern horizon.

At this moment, I heard a strange sound.

"who!"

But then a figure flew out and turned into a stream of light and flew away. Qin Lingshan immediately flew after him.

In mid-air, there was a flash of light in his hand, and a silver longbow instantly appeared in his palm.

Nock the arrow, draw the bow, aim, and shoot, all in one go!

call out!

A golden arrow shot out in an instant and hit the figure in the flowing light in front.

The figure fell straight down like a shot wild goose, and landed in a forest, lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Qin Lingshan slowly approached the figure on the ground, the longbow in her hand never falling, still pointing straight down, and then carefully used her magic power to flip the other person's body over.

But when he saw the other person's face clearly, he was confused for a moment, and then his eyes widened instantly.

Wait, this isn't...

However, the next moment.

But the man on the ground quickly threw a palm-sized object towards her.

wow——

Thinking it was some attacking object similar to the Heavenly Thunder, Qin Lingshan subconsciously put up a protective shield. However, a dazzling white light flashed and directly obscured her vision.

After a moment, there was no trace of the woman in red left at that place!

pat.

The small silver token fell to the ground.

But the man spat out a mouthful of blood, tried to suppress the injury on his shoulder with his spiritual power, and then picked up the silver token.

"This little girl is really capable! If it weren't for the expulsion order, she would have been stuck here today!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood foam. Although he was injured, he felt extremely happy in his heart. "With this letter of surrender, I can live well even in Xisha Country!"
