General?

Shen Jifeng looked at the yellow-clothed woman before her. She seemed awake, yet still lost in a dream, unable to think clearly.

Around them flowed the Luo River. Beside them stood a stone tablet, inscribed with the ancient characters for "Luo River Crossing," though somewhat damaged. Everything felt real, yet Shen Jifeng couldn't move freely. The yellow-clothed woman spoke a few more words, then said:

"This lowly servant cannot personally deliver this item to the young lady. I will wait here at the Luo River Crossing."

"This matter is of great importance. I implore you to come and retrieve it quickly."

She bowed again and retreated step by step into the water.

Anxious, Shen Jifeng wanted to reach out and grab the yellow-clothed woman, but the moment she had that thought, the surrounding environment shattered like a bubble.

…

"Senior Sister Shen? Senior Sister Shen, wake up…"

"I'm awake, I'm awake."

Shen Jifeng was vaguely awakened by someone.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the concerned faces of the Special Operations Team. Zhang Hao, seeing that Shen Jifeng had awakened, breathed a sigh of relief, handed her a cup of coffee, and said, "Were you having a nightmare? You kept shouting to stop…"

"You've been running for a whole night. If you really can't take it, go and rest for a while."

Shen Jifeng subconsciously took the coffee, shook her head, and said:

"No, I don't know why I suddenly felt so sleepy. I'm much better now."

"Let's continue. Director Wei is still in the ghost domain. We have to find a way to get in there again."

She lowered her head, took a sip of the coffee. The slightly bitter taste stimulated her taste buds, making her feel refreshed. Shen Jifeng then remembered the short but real dream she had just had. She rubbed her brow, not thinking about spirit dreams at the moment, and only thought that she was just thinking too much about it during the day and dreaming about it at night.

Just then, her eyes glanced slightly and she saw words formed by water stains on the table next to her.

"I implore you to come quickly."

Shen Jifeng's eyes widened.

It wasn't a dream!

Zhang Hao noticed Shen Jifeng's strange behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Jifeng shook her head and, thinking of what she had seen in her dream, murmured, "I think I just had a dream. In that dream, there was a woman in yellow…"

…

A moment later.

The engine roared.

Zhang Hao's right foot was on the accelerator.

The Special Operations Team's vehicle sped along the road. They had just asked the old people in the village and learned that there really was a place called Luo River Crossing near the village. However, because the water was deep and many people had died there, the villagers basically didn't go there, and it had long been abandoned.

They had just asked for directions and routes, and were rushing over there.

Zhang Hao bit his cigarette, his hands on the steering wheel, and said, "It's a spirit dream."

"To be able to send a dream and leave traces around you at the same time, that spirit must have at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred years of cultivation. In ancient times, this kind of spirit could almost experience all the events of a country's rise and fall. This kind of spirit, this kind of spirit…"

He shook his head, not knowing how to describe it, and guessed:

"This spirit has almost two hundred years of cultivation. Who is the general she's talking about? Could it be a military general from the Ming Dynasty two hundred years ago, who made great achievements during his lifetime, died in battle, and was worshiped by later generations, becoming the local or mountain deity of this area? Did he sense the abnormality of the ghost domain and send a spirit to give you a dream?"

"But in this era, the gods have basically all disappeared."

Shen Jifeng said, "Maybe it's because they are like candles in the wind that they need Huang Gu Nu to send a message."

"Perhaps."

Zhang Hao responded and pressed a little harder on the accelerator with his right foot.

He was still a little anxious in his heart.

After all, Wei Yuan, who had been invited, was still trapped in the ghost domain. He had just said that Shen Jifeng had been tired for a long time, and he had hardly slept in the past few days. Now that he had a clue, how could he not be able to restrain himself? He stepped on the gas again, and the off-road vehicle crashed through the weeds on the road, finally finding the Luo River Crossing.

Almost the first moment she saw this place, Shen Jifeng's face changed slightly.

Except that the width of the Luo River could not be compared with that in the ghost domain, the terrain here was almost exactly the same as that of the restaurant in the ghost domain. Both had river water flowing through, and then made an almost right-angled bend, continuing to flow away.

After the two got out of the car, they quickly walked to the Luo River Crossing stone tablet.

But they couldn't find the yellow-clothed woman. Shen Jifeng was uneasy and looked around. Suddenly, she heard the sound of flowing water, turned her head, and saw a yellow fish floating on the surface of the water, constantly flapping its tail on the water. Shen Jifeng's heart moved slightly, and she subconsciously said, "Huang Gu Nu?"

The yellow fish nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Hao heard the sound, saw the yellow fish that understood human nature, and was surprised to guess that this was probably the true form of the spirit who delivered the dream.

Shen Jifeng squatted on the shore, looked at the yellow fish and said, "Miss Huang, what does that general want you to give us?"

Zhang Hao's heart also moved slightly. A military general from the late Ming Dynasty who had made great achievements in battle.

What would he need this yellow fish to deliver?

He thought of the ancient story of 'double carp, letter of silk', and couldn't help but wonder if there was also a letter in the mouth of this Huang Gu Nu. Then he saw the yellow fish swim to the shore, open its mouth, and spit out a tough water bubble. Something fell into Shen Jifeng's hand, and the girl's body stiffened after just one glance.

Zhang Hao stepped forward and asked curiously, "What did that Ming Dynasty general give you?"

Shen Jifeng slowly raised her head, looked at Zhang Hao, seeming a little dazed. After a long time, she said blankly:

"Director Wei's memory card…"

"What?!"

…

Looking at the small memory card in her hand.

Zhang Hao and Shen Jifeng were speechless for a moment, their minds a little muddled.

Huang Gu Nu said that the general wanted her to send this thing over.

But what was sent was a memory card that could only be retrieved with Wei Yuan's fingerprint…

Shen Jifeng took a deep breath and stammered, "Maybe, maybe Director Wei met that general inside, and then asked this Huang Gu Nu to send the thing over."

Zhang Hao nodded slowly and said, "That's probably how it is…"

But in his mind, he recalled Wei Yuan's fighting style, the strong killing intent, like a battlefield swordsmanship from the ancient battlefield. The hand holding the cigarette trembled a little, and his scalp felt numb. Shen Jifeng carried the big box-like notebook with her, inserted the memory card, and quickly retrieved the contents.

There was only one file.

After opening it, short words spread out.

Zhang Hao exhaled, focused his attention to read the contents of the file, and both he and Shen Jifeng gradually became serious. After reading it, Zhang Hao said in disbelief, "In less than a night, Director Wei has already figured out the origin of the ghost domain?"

Shen Jifeng scrolled the file to the end and said, "Director Wei has something he wants us to help with."

She looked up at the anti-bow evil and said:

"Dig up the riverbed, divert the river water directly, break the anti-bow evil here, cut off the foundation of the ghost domain, and then, Director Wei said that if possible, change the feng shui here."

"Change it?"

"Yes."

Shen Jifeng adjusted her glasses and read with some incomprehension:

"Change it to the Western White Tiger Evil, which is even more fierce than the anti-bow evil."

"The fiercer the better."

…

In the ghost domain, the atmosphere became unprecedentedly lively.

The skinny starving ghosts clapped their hands and laughed, and the blue-faced fanged demons walked on the streets.

The water spirit under the bridge giggled, and in front of the upright coffin, ghosts came and went, shadowy and indistinct.

What a scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night!

All the ghosts knew that today was the day the Ghost King was marrying the Heavenly Maiden from the mountain. Once the Ghost King married the Heavenly Maiden, the structure of this ghost domain would be completely formed, which would be of great benefit to them. Therefore, on this day, almost all the ghosts went up the mountain to give gifts to the Ghost King.

But there were always exceptions.

There were also ghosts who had to work at this time.

A weapon ghost who had been disemboweled looked enviously at the brightly lit mountain, thinking that there must be good meat to eat, with no shortage of heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. But he was ordered by the Ghost King to stay here and guard something. The weapon ghost regretfully withdrew his gaze and prepared to go back.

Suddenly!

A black shadow descended from the sky.

Almost instantly, his knee pressed on the weapon ghost's spine, suppressing him fiercely. One hand covered the ghost's mouth, and the other hand, like a short-handled broken sword, slashed across his throat horizontally, cutting off the ghost's head directly. Wei Yuan rolled smoothly and hid in a patch of grass.

The movements were coherent and completed in one go.

Without making a sound.

Like a legendary assassin who followed his creed.

Approaching silently, sneaking silently.

Perfect.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and saw a battle-dead ghost holding a long spear on the left, staring blankly at himself hiding in the grass. It seemed that his scarce brain capacity could not quickly understand what was going on. He stared at Wei Yuan for a while before remembering to find other ghosts.

But his head had already been cut off by a sword light.

After all, the sound of the fight was still a bit loud. The ghosts left behind in the door heard the sound and asked:

"What's wrong?!"

The stealth failed.

Wei Yuan exhaled and recognized that his type, which was good at frontal assault and subduing demons, was still too reluctant for such difficult movements as stealth. He glanced at the lively mountain top, which was still far away from here, and even from such a distance he could hear the noisy sounds there. Obviously, the movement here could hardly reach there.

He simply gave up the idea of stealing the feather coat silently and stood up upright.

He pulled out the Eight-Sided Han Sword with his backhand and kicked the door open.

The ghosts seemed unable to imagine that a living person would dare to enter the ghost domain so uprightly, and were stunned for a moment.

Wei Yuan had already drawn a high-powered gun with his left hand and quickly fired all the bullets at the ghosts.

The roaring and rhythmic gun sounds were drowned out in the revelry on the top of the mountain, but the armor-piercing bullets pierced through the weak parts of the ghosts here, splashing out stinky and black pus. After the bullets were emptied, the ghosts here were already stunned, unable to react to what had happened. Wei Yuan had quickly approached, and the Eight-Sided Han Sword in his right hand tore through the cold light, slashing down on the ghost's head.

Hello, Sili Commandant.

Robbery.
