Speaking of ghost stories all of a sudden in a court late at night was indeed eerie.
Xiao Chan and the others listened to the County Magistrate’s stories and felt a shiver down their spines the more they listened.
Things like the entire Tomb Guardian Village losing seven people each year, woodcutters and hunters dying if they encountered anything on dates with a seven, strange sounds on full moon nights at Zhongshan Mountain, and the curse that befell anyone who mentioned the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord’s name...
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were not as affected, but Xiao Chan and his companions had already gotten goosebumps.
"The ordinary people living there dare not mention the name of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, for he is an unspoken existence. Whoever mentions it will be cursed."
Who would have thought that Li Wenli and Bai Junjun would be so bold as to directly enter the tomb of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord.
Luckily, they were fortunate. For ordinary people, it was likely that all would have been lost in that tomb.
Xiao Chan and his companions couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, deeply feeling that coming out whole was indeed a great stroke of luck.
After all, there were not only eight hundred living dead there, but they even saw the fearsome Zhongshan Mountain Overlord himself, and also encountered the Divine Beast Python guarding the tomb when they came out.
What ordinary person would encounter such things?
If it hadn’t been for the pursuit of Black Six, they probably would never have encountered these in their lifetimes.
Compared to everyone else’s fear, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were much more composed, "Don’t worry, we have completely resolved the issue with Zhongshan Mountain. From now on, everyone can freely talk about and visit Zhongshan Mountain, there won’t be any problems."
"???" The County Magistrate and his company were dumbfounded.
What nonsense were they talking about!
Li Wenli, not saying much more, yawned and kicked someone lying heavily on the ground, "Please help us detain this person for a while. Don’t kill him yet; we still have some questions we want to ask him."
"Okay, no problem," the County Magistrate nodded subconsciously.
Then Li Wenli and his group walked away with an air of arrogance.
Although it was already past curfew, they seemed to be the most exceptional presence, moving back and forth through the quiet city without being stopped by anyone.
The patrolling soldiers had heard that the knight-errants were back and had brought back many important figures. Although they did not know the specific details, one thing was certain; the knight-errants had performed heroic deeds again.
For them, manpower was scarce, and each assignment outside had the potential for fatalities,
but since these young warriors had arrived, their mortality rate had greatly decreased, so the soldiers sincerely welcomed and supported the knight-errants.
The group returned home at one in the morning, but what surprised them was that the lights at home were still on.
In the living room, Old Uncle Qiu, Qiu Er, and Qiu San were dozing under the oil lamp.
They immediately opened their eyes when they heard the door open.
Seeing Li Wenli and Bai Junjun had returned, they finally relaxed.
They had gone out to capture the remnants of Black Spider’s power. However, as a whole day had gone by and even nighttime had fallen without their return, everyone was understandably worried.
The kids had also been waiting, but Old Uncle Qiu, not wanting them to stay up late, had forcefully sent them to bed.
Reluctantly, Bai Sasa and the others got up and went to bed.
Now that they had finally returned, Old Uncle Qiu immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to serve them food.
After Bai Junjun and the others were seated, the fragrant meals were served.
They had only eaten a little at the Zhao Family Village at noon, thinking that the next tomb would be quick. Little did they know, they were delayed for a long time,
resulting in them being hungry until they ate dinner at midnight. If it had not been for the Magical Wood Water they had drunk, they would probably have passed out from hunger.
