I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 344 - 308: The Ghost Peddler’s Request

Yesterday I saw you guys joking about the title ’Sang Jun’, I couldn’t hold back, now she’s called ’Xuan Nu’, the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, hmph~

*

Returning to the backyard of Qingfeng Temple from the modern era, Sang Que sighed heavily.

In Bright Moon Mountain, she led over three thousand people, who wouldn’t respectfully call her ’Big Boss’?

Moreover, ever since the temporary embankment suddenly broke last month and the Water Ghost appeared, she single-handedly turned the tide and pushed the giant Water Ghost back into the river, the people’s reverence for her became even more devout.

With just a little guidance, she attained the titles of Bright Moon Mountain God and Lady Xuan Nu.

But when she returned to school for a week’s classes, it was constantly ’Sang Que, stand up and listen to the lesson!’

Several times she almost sleepily shouted ’audacious’ in class.

The gap is too big!

You can’t blame her, it’s really because Bright Moon Mountain is too costly, relying on Zhang Junyao alone, many supplies are unavailable, she can only find ways from the modern world.

For example, city bricks were fired from kilns in the mountains, but to build the walls of Eight Diagram City and Chao Tian Pass strong, something like cement was still needed.

Simply, Sang Que directly brought cement; she even performed a drama for this, holding a ceremony to worship the Bright Moon Mountain God and Lady Xuan Nu, receiving a gift from Lady Xuan Nu—cement!

She has reached the point of no return on the path of being a charlatan!

But that’s not the point, the point is spending her mother’s money all the time on the modern side is inappropriate, her mother now devotes all her energy to writing novels about her, other projects have stopped, and they are living off their savings.

So to earn money, she goes out every night to uphold justice, smash some crime syndicates, and use the money to buy cement.

Originally, she wouldn’t get tired from not sleeping for one or two nights, but in that classroom environment... no choice!

Aside from this small issue, her mother is all good, the Little Ghost at home is diligent, the story relay group has been quiet lately, cases committed by them have rarely appeared across the country.

Wu Cheng hasn’t contacted her mother afterward, and during the week at home, Sang Que remained vigilant for any strangers appearing around, it seems her family hasn’t come knocking, and the research institute is quiet too.

Everything is stable in the modern world, so she requested leave again and returned to Bright Moon Mountain to continue her charlatan career.

As soon as Sang Que came out of the wood room in the temple’s backyard, the Yin Child waiting there appeared by her side, ready to rest.

During the time Sang Que left, the Yin Child stayed in the temple, acting as a ’security check’, anyone sincerely seeking refuge and a new life was accepted into the mountain, those with ill intentions couldn’t escape the Yin Child’s Ghost Eye.

Sang Que took back the Yin Child, then as she was about to return to the mountain, suddenly a wisp of black smoke emerged from the ground in front of her, and the five Copper Coins hanging from her waist twitched a bit.

Soon after, the black smoke turned into a little ghost child with a big-headed mask, holding candied hawthorns in one hand, and a piece of paper in the other, extending it to Sang Que.

Sang Que took it, the little ghost child didn’t leave, looking up at her. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It was the Ghost Vendor, who had made up his mind what to trade for a ’mole’, he wanted three hundred weapons of soldiers who died on the battlefield, demanding they must be bloodstained blades held during their death.

Sang Que thought carefully, the situation over at Qinzhou is quite complicated now, while everything in Bright Moon Mountain is on track.

Internal affairs have Liu Tianyou who is worth twenty men, Yu Da is versatile, wherever he’s needed, he’ll go, although he doesn’t like to go out, he loves staying in one place.

External affairs are managed by Yao Zhen, the number of zombies in the mountain has exceeded five hundred, among which three hundred have been transformed into Corpse Mud Zombies by her, Wan He learned a lot about Corpse Control from Yao Zhen and can manage the Corpse Nourishing Land alone.

There are also two hundred normal Guard Army members, led by Luo Danian, Luo Dayong, Miao Zhongtian, and Pei Li, rotating duty at Chaotian Pass.

She copied the contents of the militia training manual for them to study and implement. There’s also Hong Xuan in the mountains, a bit crafty, interested in military tactics, temporarily serving as a strategist is not a problem.

Currently, whether she’s in the mountain or not doesn’t affect much.

Moreover, Qiao Ling mentioned to her recently about wanting to leave to save lives and heal the wounded on the battlefronts of Qinzhou, which is her duty after all.

Under Qiao Ling’s care, Xia Chan smoothly advanced to the Fourth Rank, with no deadly cliffs or grand rituals as Sang Que had thought, just one night where Xia Chan’s hair grew wildly, filling the entire village.

Xia Chan is kind-hearted, didn’t harm anyone in the village, nor any cattle or sheep, she retracted the hair and ate heartily after waking up.

As for the situation at Qinzhou, Sang Que is also very curious, she wants to know how the Deceit Dynasty fights, it’s definitely not conventional fighting, seeing it early, she could gain combat experience.

What’s going on with He Buning now, Sang Que doesn’t know either, she’s been trying to find the whereabouts of the Yin Child’s tongue lately, with no results, if she can find He Buning, maybe it will be easier.

All things considered, it’s better to make a trip.

"I accept this condition, prepare it within three months, okay?"

The little ghost child nodded, turning into black smoke, sank into the ground, and disappeared.

The temple was silent, as Sang Que pondered, she walked towards the mountain, reaching the woods, suddenly heard some strange noises.

Sang Que quietly approached, finding more than ten men in black, masked, with palm-sized Eight Diagrams Mirrors and two water pouches hanging on their waists, wielding long knives full of Evil Qi, swiftly approaching the Death Domain outside Chaotian Pass.

"Brothers, we just need to find out what’s in this Death Domain, remember not to alert them."

"Now check your Exorcism Talismans, vermillion, glutinous rice, and black dog blood, retreat before all ten Exorcism Talismans are used up."

"Death Domains have fixed rules, observe carefully, mastering the rules means free transaction."

"Is everyone ready?"

"Move out!"

The group stepped into the mist-filled Death Domain, soon vanishing from Sang Que’s sight, she raised her eyebrows slightly, silently trailing behind them.

In the barren, gravelly gorge path, as soon as they stepped in, a cold wind rose, blowing up sandstorms, the Exorcism Talismans they pasted on their bodies ignited spontaneously.

Each held a knife in one hand, clasping the Eight Diagrams Mirror in the other.

If any shadows appeared by their sides, they’d immediately shine the Eight Diagrams Mirror, there and then the shadow would dissipate in the mirror light, but this could only handle Wandering Souls in the Death Domain.

They were well-trained, not making loud noises, cautiously and slowly advancing, rightly following two main rules in the Death Domain, if it was daytime, they would have had a chance to reach the Chao Tian Pass.

However, it was nighttime, and there was something else in the Death Domain.

A lump of wet mud suddenly fell from above, hitting the last person in the team, his Exorcism Talisman burned bright, turning into ashes in an instant.

Before he could ignite a second one, a shadow pounced from above.

Ugh!

Hearing a muffled groan, the few in front immediately turned around, in the darkness could only see a mass of surging black mud on the ground, with a fallen Eight Diagrams Mirror beside it.

"That’s... Corpse Mud Evil, how could it appear here?"

At that moment, a large amount of black Corpse Mud surged from the surrounding cliffs, the few retreated to one point in horror, watching the Corpse Mud gather on the ground, one after another mud-covered figures rising from within.

"What are these damn things? Zombies?"

The few were shocked beyond words, the Corpse Mud Zombies roared, launching attacks, and the few fended them off with knives.

No matter how they hacked the Corpse Mud Zombies, they could quickly recover, the few decisively used glutinous rice, vermillion, and black dog blood among other things, throwing them at the zombies.

But these zombies were exceptionally agile, each time dispersing their bodies into Corpse Mud to dodge the stuff they threw, circling to attack them from behind again.

Seeing this, the leader panicked and shouted, "Retreat, quickly..."

Before he could finish saying the last word, a red thread appeared out of nowhere around his neck, instantly strangling him and lifting him into the air, innumerable red threads surged forward.

The other panicked people running away also violated the rule of not running fast in the Death Domain, triggering the red thread, in the blink of an eye, all were bound, and Corpse Mud Zombies swarmed.

In the gorge, the cold wind howled, restoring silence.
