964: Lively Scene of Ghouls

Lively Scene of Ghouls

The old ghoul's face was full of embarrassment, making his expression a little scary. His old skin was drooping, making people not dare to look at it.0

Fortunately, Baili Ji should have died of old age, so even if he had become a ghoul, he did not lose an arm or a leg. His complexion was good, and there was no blood dripping from his body. Xie Qiao could still accept that.

"Old Sir, please tell me the whereabouts of this skeleton. I will try my best to find it," Xie Qiao said.

"It's not a skeleton. It's just a hand bone." Baili Ji looked at her deeply, "The previous Emperor was muddle headed and unreasonable. He forced my descendant to hand over the world map. My descendant did not comply and was executed first. That piece of bone was polished and made into bone jade. It was embedded in a brush. After the dynasty changed, this thing belonged to the current Emperor. However, they probably did not know the origin of the brush. They thought it was made of the bones of some animal..." 

Xie Qiao was quite frightened today.

"I wonder if this little bit of bone can be used?" Baili Ji was a bit worried.

"I can try." Xie Qiao nodded.

Since the thing was in the palace, it was better.

"Now in the Imperial City, it's not easy for the ghouls outside to come in. So whether this brush is kept in the storeroom or given to someone else, I'm not sure. I only know that the muddleheaded Emperor of the previous dynasty even gave this brush a name, called Shocking the Snow, which means to stir up the wind with the stroke of the brush. With a name, I think it would be easier to find." The ghoul said again.

Xie Qiao continued to nod. "I wonder if the place where your family's ghouls are hiding is still safe? I have many dharma instruments in the Fortune Pavilion, and there are many good things on the second floor that can nourish souls. Since there are always people missing for some reason, I think it's better to move here for a period of time to avoid any accidents." 

Baili Ji looked around.

Indeed... It was quite comfortable.

His resentment had been suppressed by himself, so although the dharma instruments below were a deterrent to him, they were not too much.

As for those wooden houses... They were quite rare, much better than paper ones.

"I'll ask them to move here tonight, but there are many people at home, I'm afraid it'll be too noisy." Baili Ji was very polite.

"No problem." Her pavilion was big, how many souls could it hold?

Baili Ji was worried about the safety of his descendants, so he did not reject her too much. Seeing that the master had asked him to stay, he immediately agreed.

After floating away, it did not take long for him to bring... a lot of ghouls over.

Xie Qiao…

She had been waiting in the pavilion, but when she saw Baili Ji, her jaw almost dropped.

There were so many people in this family!

"Back then, there weren't many descendants left in the human world. There were only about fifty of them. It was just that there were quite a number of families that were implicated in my family. Later on, they all gathered together. In addition, during the chaotic times, there were dead people everywhere, and the resentment was soaring to the sky. I saw that many lonely souls were quite pitiful, so I took them all in. There were many masters in the family, so it was inevitable that they would ask for some servants. So... I found some sensible people to serve them. After a long time, it became a big family." 

Xie Qiao almost fainted.

It was indeed a big family.

Hah, these ghouls were all blocking the entrance of the Fortune Pavilion. They queued in a long line. If she counted, there were at least five hundred of them!

She had never seen such a long queue!

Among them, some of the ghouls were more ordinary, no different from the wandering ghouls by the roadside. However, there were still some who were as strong as Baili Ji.

This scene was really lively…
