Master of Strange Dao Chapter 1522 406: 007, After the New Year (5k)

Upon hearing this, the mustached Old Ghost's eyes, already as big as copper bells, fell out of their sockets on the spot.

The Old Ghost hurriedly reached out to catch his eyeballs, shoved them back into his sockets, stepped back two paces, and looked Zhang Quli up and down.

"Surna Zhang, I was sleeping quite well here..."

Zhang Quli, unfazed, with a hint of a smile, spoke slowly and deliberately.

"His Majesty personally ordered it, so it can't possibly be fake.

During the Earth Deity uprising back then, you did help and put in the effort.

So, you were the first one I thought of, to give you so benefit.

As for your worry that His Majesty is just acting on a whim, you're really overthinking it.

His Majesty hails from Jinlan Mountain, and around Jinlan Mountain, there are at least tens of millions of starving ghosts standing guard.

If there's going to be a Ghost School, it's certainly not fake, and significant effort will definitely be invested."

"Wait a minute, what are starving ghosts? Hungry ghosts?" The Old Ghost was a bit shocked, quickly reaching out to stop Zhang Quli.

"..."

Zhang Quli's eyelids twitched slightly, and his smile froze.

He looked at the Old Ghost in shock, unable to help himself from taking a sharp breath.

"You've actually been so honest, sleeping here all this ti?"

The Old Ghost felt a little embarrassed, but he was still more concerned about the Ghost School matter.

"I did wake up once before, but as soon as I woke, I saw Jia Shisi going on a killing spree, so I went back to sleep.

Later... later there was quite a commotion outside, with so changes, I did sense it.

But I figured it shouldn't concern , so I didn't co out to add to the chaos of Dadui."

"Just say it, you're scared stiff."

"What do you know, a gentleman does not stand by a dangerous wall, nor walk a perilous road. Given my status, if I ca out to create chaos, I might be used by others to interfere with state affairs."

"You? You're overthinking it."

"Surna Zhang, what do you an by that?"

"Forget it, you better go find your juniors first, learn about the past two hundred years before we talk. If you're unwilling to co out, it's not like I can't find soone else."

Old Zhang was a bit helpless, too lazy to argue more with the Old Ghost.

But he could understand the Old Ghost. If he hadn't followed Dadui's changes step by step, being involved all along, he might not understand today's Dadui either.

The Yu Clan is still quite a prominent local family, having lived through many upheavals, and now, Old Ghost Yu still has descendants around.

On hearing these words, Old Ghost Yu's thoughts shifted, and he beca much more polite.

With a wave of his hand, a tea table and stools appeared in front of him.

"Lord Zhang, please sit down, take a rest, I'll be right back."

The Old Ghost watched Zhang Quli take a seat before transforming into a breeze and leaving the ancestral hall.

Zhang Quli sat on the chair, looking at the empty table in front of him, and suddenly burst into laughter.

He'd been inside for quite a while, without even a place to sit.

His old friend was much better than he was back then.

In the old days when the Old Ghost was alive, he was ugly, had a bad temper, as if he were the only gentleman in the world, the only good person, while everyone else was villainous.

After years of settling posthumously, years of cooling down, so of his sharpness had llowed.

Except this audacity, that hadn't changed much.

To be honest, Old Zhang still couldn't figure out how a person could be both audacious and cheeky.

The Old Ghost turned into a wisp of smoke, flew out from the ancestral hall, hovered around the city, and didn't dare recklessly enter.

He wandered nearby and soon found the Yu Clan's gathering place, slipped into the house with the best conditions.

He found soone who seed to hold the highest status, turned into a wisp of smoke, and hovered around the person's head.

The cultivator who was ditating felt his consciousness blur suddenly, opened his eyes, and saw himself sitting in a bright grand hall, facing a mustached elder with round eyes, looking like he was glaring, dressed in a deep purple robe.

"Which generation are you from the Yu Clan?"

"You are...?"

"You don't even recognize ? Never mind, just answer my question quickly."

"Eighty-ninth generation in the family tree..."

"I have so more questions for you, answer honestly."

...

An hour later, the Old Ghost floated back as a light smoke, landing across from Zhang Quli.

The Old Ghost had a hint of a smile, waved his hand, and a sealed wine jar appeared on the table. He then took out two wine bowls, broke the seal, and poured Zhang Quli a bowl of wine.

"This is wine I grew and brewed myself before, now the Fire Qi is gone, it's at its most llow, co, Lord Zhang, have a taste."

Zhang Quli tasted it, his eyes lit up.

The Old Ghost imdiately waved his hand, and a dense pile of wine jars appeared next to him.

"If Lord Zhang likes it, please do the favor of bringing so back, so His Majesty can have a taste too."

"Old Ghost Yu, don't you find your earlier arrogance and later humility funny yourself?"

"It's human nature, what's so funny about it? Most of those on the court don't deserve my respect anyway."

"If you had even a bit of this audacity back then, you wouldn't have died." Zhang Quli said with so regret.

Old Ghost Yu poured more wine, smiling as he spoke.

"Back in the Earth Deity uprising, Dadui was already critically ill, needing soone to ignite so valor.

If others went to scold that foolish emperor, it'd just be a pointless sacrifice.

Using my blood to ignite this valor was naturally most fitting.

Besides, I long wanted to spit on that foolish emperor, spit thick phlegm on all the courtiers.

What's there to regret, in the end, I didn't die completely, I turned into a ghost.

Now there's even a Ghost School, I have sothing to do again, isn't it quite nice."
