The Abandoned Son Ch.148

Chapter 148 — Earthquake in Huai Village

Feeling the depletion of the spiritual energy in Ye Fan’s body, Bai Yunxi looked at Ye Fan with some worry, and said, “Are you alright?”

Ye Fan smiled reluctantly and said, “I’m okay!”

Bai Yunxi frowned and said, displeased, “If there is something, say it, don’t pretend to be okay!”

Ye Fan blinked and said, “I’m really okay! It’s just that the spiritual energy has been used up all at once, and I’m a little weak. This Xuanlong Seal is also too power-draining.”

Ye Fan looked at Xuanlong seal, and secretly said: Fortunately, his strength has improved a lot recently, otherwise, if he launches this attack, he will faint directly, which would be a shame! This seal is really a big stomach king!

Bai Yunxi said displeasedly: “You are too reckless, what if there are zombies underneath?”

“There are none below, there are none that can move, and there are those that can’t move,” Ye Fan said.

Bai Yunxi froze for a moment and said, “Really?”

Ye Fan nodded and said, “Yes.”

Ye Fan used a spell to put away the Xuanlong seal, the Xuanlong seal shrunk to the size of a palm, and the flesh and blood of the zombies under the Xuanlong seal flew all over, looking very horrifying.

Ye Fan crouched down and took off the jade pendant on the zombie’s neck.

Bai Yunxi looked at the jade pendant that Ye Fan took off, and said with some surprise: “It’s really strange, after such a big attack, this jade pendant is still good.”

“This jade pendant can condense the power of the moon and improve the speed of cultivation. It is a good thing, Yunxi, you can keep this.”

Bai Yunxi turned his face away and said with disgust, “It’s dirty.”

Ye Fan put away the jade pendant and said embarrassedly, “Then I will wash it for you.”

Bai Yunxi: “…”

“We got the item, let’s go,” Ye Fan said.

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay.”

Ye Fan stood in the middle of the mountain and looked at Bai Yunxi, and said with some guilty conscience: “My spiritual energy is not enough, so I can’t carry you down.”

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay, but you need to go by yourself, don’t expect me to carry you, you are too heavy!”

Ye Fan said embarrassedly: “I can walk by myself, and I’m not heavy!”

Bai Yunxi smiled coldly and said, “Eating so much, how can you not be heavy?”

Ye Fan: “…”

…

“You said the zombies in the tomb are really dead?” Bai Yunxi asked as he walked beside Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nodded and said, “Yes, it should have been killed by the big zombie. I guess that the big zombie might have been a general or something before he was forced to become a concubine by the princess.”

“Maybe he liked the princess and was jealous of the other concubines?” Bai Yunxi said.

Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi in surprise, and said, “No way, this big guy has such a heavy taste?”

Bai Yunxi smiled and said, “If it’s love, who can say for sure?”

Most of the princess’s concubines are handsome young men, only this big man is strong like a bear. The zombie princess recruited this big man, maybe out of curiosity or something, but this big man may have really fallen in love.

The big man liked the princess, but the princess should prefer pretty boys.

Chen Yan had just finished handling the reports of several people in the Religious Inquisition, when he received a police report from the residents, saying that someone had set explosives and robbed the tomb.

Chen Yan had no choice but to rush to the cemetery of the zombie princess.

“Boss, it’s the zombie tomb! People from Mao Mountain have been here before, but they couldn’t do anything about the monsters in it, so they could only seal the tomb for the time being. I don’t know which brainless tomb robbers destroyed the seal of the Mao Mountain masters,” Hu Lin complained to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and said, “Fortunately, the situation has not expanded.”

“Yeah! If the zombies go down to attack the villagers again, it will be a big trouble.” Now that the Internet is developed, if the matter spreads, there will be an uproar!

Chen Yan looked at the entrance of the tomb and frowned. Before, the state sent several groups of people to this cemetery, but they didn’t get anything, and a lot of people died, so Chen Yan didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Boss, are there any zombies down there?”

Chen Yan frowned and said, “There should be. I will contact the higher-ups and then find the Taoist priest in Mao Mountain to deal with it.”

Hu Lin nodded and said, “Yes, yes, it is better to ask people from special departments of the state to do this kind of thing.”

Ye Fan lay on the bed of the five-star hotel and rested for a few days.

When Ye Fan activated the Xuanlong Seal, he was drained of his spiritual energy. He didn’t feel anything at the time, but then he had a headache for several days.

“Much better?” Bai Yunxi asked.

Ye Fan blinked and said, “Much better.”

Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi and said coquettishly, “Will you massage it for me?”

“You’re always making trouble.” Although Bai Yunxi looked unhappy, he still sat beside Ye Fan, put his fingers on Ye Fan’s temple, and massaged it.

Ye Fan closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

Bai Yunxi looked at Ye Fan and said somewhat harshly, “Don’t do things impulsively. The way you looked a few days ago, you looked like you were high on drugs and almost dead.”

Ye Fan frowned and shouted in displeasure: “Yunxi, you’re really… I’m very uncomfortable and you only know how to gloat! You don’t love me at all.”

Bai Yunxi gave a light hum and said, “Serves you right.”

Ye Fan climbed off the bed and said, “I’m almost well, let’s go eat at the buffet.”

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay, if customers can eat like you, the buffet owner will have to go bankrupt.”

“Don’t worry, one buffet owner falls, and a hundred buffet owners stand up.”

Bai Yunxi: “…”

In the end, Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi didn’t get to eat at the buffet, they were approached by Chen Yan with a few people at the door.

…

Chen Yan has been very busy these days. The religious fanatics from abroad, the zombies in the ancient tombs, all make him at a loss, but he has to investigate the affairs of Huai Village.

The Huai Village is not big, but there are quite a few problems in it, and this village is really weird.

“Is something wrong, Officer Chen?” Bai Yunxi asked.

Chen Yan nodded and said, “I have something I want to ask you about, Young Master Bai.”

Bai Yunxi said suspiciously, “The higher-ups want to investigate me?”

Ye Fan has got a lot of good things recently, are the higher-ups jealous?

Chen Yan shook his head and said, “Of course not, Young Master Bai. But there are some things I want to ask Young Master Bai about.”

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay, you can ask.”

Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi and said unhappily, “Yunxi, when are we going to eat?”

Bai Yunxi threw a row of yogurt and gave it to Ye Fan, “You can eat it first.”

Ye Fan muttered, “You don’t care if I’m full.” After being stared at by Bai Yunxi, he shut up.

“Young Master Bai, don’t you have to be busy with the company?” Chen Yan asked suspiciously.

Bai Yunxi shook his head and said, “I’ve left it all to my brother.” Originally, the people of the Bai family were worried about his big life event at the age of twenty and didn’t dare to give him too many things to do, so it wasn’t too difficult for him to take care of the things on hand.

“So that’s it!” Chen Yan nodded, and glanced at Ye Fan as if he realized something.

Bai Yunxi looked at Chen Yan, frowned, and said, “Mr. Chen, let’s get down to business.”

Chen Yan nodded and said, “Young Master Bai, did you go to Huai Village a few days ago?”

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Yes, did something happen to Huai Village?” After leaving Huai Village, Bai Yunxi didn’t pay much attention to the affairs of Huai Village.

“Before, two rich second-generations died in Huai Village. As a result, the parents of these two rich second-generations naturally did not give up, and kept tracking down the murderer…”

The two rich second-generations died at the hands of religious fanatics abroad. It is not easy to make it public, so they were asked to divert the attention of the two families. As a result, the parents of the two rich second-generations found out many dark secrets of Huai Village.

The parents of the two people felt that their sons’ death had something to do with Huai Village, and guessed that their sons were killed because they discovered the secrets of Huai Village. The higher-ups wanted to hide things so they let the two families think so.

“Because someone reported it, a special team was set up to investigate the matter in Huai Village. Many people in Huai Village committed crimes, and I am afraid that they will be imprisoned. However, there are many strange things in Huai Village.”

Ye Fan emptied a bottle of yogurt three times, and said, “Yes, that village is weird.”

“Celestial Masters were invited to see the Soul Snatching Lake. As a result, the invited celestial masters were all scared away.”

Ye Fan blinked, laughed haha, and said, “The Celestial Master was scared away, this Celestial Master’s courage is too small.”

Bai Yunxi gave Ye Fan an angry look, then smiled at Chen Yan, and said, “Young Master Chen, you don’t need to pay attention to him.”

Ye Fan muttered in a low voice, “I’m not wrong! It’s because they are a little timid.”

Bai Yunxi rolled his eyes and shouted, “Shut up!”

“A ground movement in Huai Village was discovered two days ago,” Chen Yan said.

Ye Fan blinked and said in surprise: “A ground movement, how could there be a ground movement?”

When he went to Huai Village last time, he didn’t feel anything wrong! If there are any monsters really sealed in Huai Village, then the monsters should be too weak to cause earthquakes!

Bai Yunxi said suspiciously, “Is it the three temples in Huai Village, what happened?”

Chen Yan looked at Bai Yunxi in surprise and said, “Young Master Bai, do you know the three temples in Huai Village?”

Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “I saw them when I went to Huai Village before. Those three temples are somewhat mysterious and have a long history. When I visited the professor before, I heard the professor mention it.”

“Originally, a rich second-generation from country M wanted to invest, and the mayor introduced Huaicun to him. However, the rich second-generation did a field investigation and felt that it would not work, so he picked up his bags and left. People in Huai Village saw that the rich second-generation ran away, the chance to make a fortune was gone, and everyone’s eyes were red.”

“Later, I don’t know which villager saw someone in the antique market collecting ancient bricks, the price is not low. I don’t know who suggested that the temple bricks should be sold as ancient bricks.”

“Those three temples have been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no incense. The villagers agreed and demolished those three temples.”

Bai Yunxi sucked in a cold breath and said, “They’re digging their own grave!”

Chen Yan looked at Bai Yunxi and asked, “Young Master Bai, is there any problem with those three temples?”

“That’s to suppress evil spirits,” Bai Yunxi said.

Ye Fan rubbed his chin. The three temples were originally used to suppress evil things, and later they also suppressed the ghosts in the Soul Snatching Lake. Ye Fan estimated that the evil things under Huai Village had passed hundreds of thousands of years and have already become weak, but the ghosts in the Soul Snatching Lake are in their heyday.

A single ghost is not terrifying, but there are hundreds of ghosts in the Soul Snatching Lake.
