I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 246: Return to the Ghost World

When Lin Shen and the others opened their eyes again, they were surrounded by a gloomy and terrifying feeling. The already dark sky, with a few dark clouds, seemed even more depressing.

There are dry trees all around, and there are no leaves on the branches. When the breeze blows, a "woo~~" sound can be heard from time to time, and there is no trace of life.

Zhao Linger looked around and asked, "Brother Anos, is this... is this the ghost world?"

Lin Shen said, "Yeah, or rather, I'm not really willing to come. Mainly because the atmosphere is too creepy."

Then they heard a cry of "Ah~!" and everyone thought someone was being attacked and looked around.

Upon closer inspection, it was Anu who was frightened and was squatting on the ground shivering.

Lin Shen squatted down and stroked Anu's back, saying gently, "Anu, what's wrong with you?"

Anu didn't say anything, but just shivered constantly. Lin Shen continued, "Anu, if you can't stand it, I will take you back to Shushan and we will meet there."

Anu looked at Lin Shen. Lin Shen did not laugh at or blame him. He still looked at her with gentle eyes as always.

Anu shook his head and said, "No... Anu won't leave. Anu wants to go with you to find that branch."

Lin Shen was speechless and said, "That's called the Shadow Branch. It's said to be able to carry those ghost messengers through most barriers, making it an essential item for them to go out and collect souls.

Anu, if you are afraid, just walk between Xiaoyao and me and let us protect you."

Anu also felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he stood up and said, "No... Anu, don't be afraid, let's go."

Although she said so, Anu still walked behind Lin Shen very honestly when she left.

As they were walking, a ghost flew past everyone. Lin Shen was somewhat accustomed to it because it was his second time here, but the four girls were not so used to it. They trembled with fear.

Anu even screamed "Ah~~!" In fact, it would have been better if Anu hadn't screamed, because Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and Jiang Waner were all staying here bravely.

But when Anu shouted, the three of them were also affected and shouted "Ah~~!" as well.

Lin Shen was speechless when he saw this and said, "How about... I should just send you guys back to Shushan. Looking at you guys like this, I can't say if Xiaoyao and I will be beaten to death by the ghost officials here, but we'll definitely be scared to death by you."

Although Lin Yueru said nothing, her legs were already trembling. She said, "A... Anos, you... aren't you afraid?"

Lin Shen said, "After all, I've been here once before to get the Demon Slayer Sword, so I have some resistance.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Shadow Branch, I really wouldn't want to come a second time. Besides Ling'er, all of us have to come here sooner or later, so we might as well take this as a chance to acclimate to the environment in advance."

Lin Yueru rolled her eyes at Lin Shen and said, "That's true, but I feel like it's a little weird."

Jiang Wan'er noticed something and said, "That's not right. Why wouldn't Ling'er come here?"

Lin Shen sighed and said, "Because she is a descendant of Nuwa, her soul entered the Holy Spirit Pearl after her death and will not enter the reincarnation cycle."

Jiang Wan'er said "Oh~~" meaningfully, and Lin Shen said, "Let's keep going. I don't know where the Shadow Branch is, either. We can only search around for clues."

Several people continued to walk aimlessly. Suddenly, more than 20 male... male ghosts appeared and robbed them.

The male ghost kept saying the same old thing: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you must leave money for passage. If you dare to say no, I will kill you with a knife and bury you alive."

Li Xiaoyao picked up the Seven Star Sword and said, "Guys, alert!"

Lin Shen took a look at this group of people. Oh no, the male ghost looked familiar. He said, "Hey, it's not you again, is it?"

One of the male ghosts glanced at Lin Shen and said, "Oh my god, why are you here again?"

How could they not look familiar? The same robbers that Lin Shen encountered when he came to the Ghost Realm to find the Sword of Devil Slayer last time were here again. And those robbers looked even more familiar to him. After all, how many living people could he see in the Ghost Realm? He was definitely familiar with them.

The male ghost said, "Why are you here again!?"

At this time, he glanced behind Lin Shen. This time, not only did he come alone, but he also brought a handsome man and four beautiful girls. The male ghost continued, "Are you bringing four girls here to play this time?"

Lin Shen rolled his eyes at the male ghost, put his hands on his hips and said, "Who brings girls to such a gloomy and scary place? You must have something to do."

The male ghost said, "Okay, okay, I'll call the boss over right away. Tell him if you have anything to say." After that, the male ghost ran to the back. After two or three minutes, Lei Yuange came.

Lei Yuange said, "Here we go again."

Lin Shen said, "Well, come here to do something."

At this time, a red bird appeared above Lei Yuange's head and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Anu saw a bird appear above Lei Yuange's head and said, "What a cute bird."

The red bird disappeared, and a green bird appeared, flapping its wings and saying, "So cute, so cute."

Lin Shen explained, "Lei Yuange used to be a ghost messenger. He couldn't speak, so sometimes he let the little birds on his head speak for him."

The green bird disappeared and was replaced by a blue bird, which said, "You know a lot. What exactly are you doing here?"

Zhao Linger said, "Senior Lei Yuange, I am Zhao Linger, and I have come here to seek the Shadow Branch."

Lei Yuange didn't say anything. He looked at the Holy Spirit Cloak on Zhao Linger and the Heavenly Snake Staff in her hand, and his eyes began to widen.

Lin Shen noticed that there was something wrong with Lei Yuange's eyes, and remembered that guy had a habit of greedy treasures. He immediately realized that this was his old habit again.

He immediately shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't have any bad thoughts. That's Ling'er's!"

Lei Yuange finally came back to his senses, and the blue bird on his head said, "Sorry, this guy is sick again. He can't walk when he sees the treasure. Don't blame me~ Don't blame me."

Zhao Linger waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. But where is that shadow branch?"

The blue bird said, "The Hall of Impermanence. Go west and you'll find it."

Zhao Linger replied respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance."

The red bird reappeared and said, "You're welcome. You're welcome. This little sister is so cute."

Lin Shen said, "Then let's go and find Yiyingzhi in Wuchang Palace."

Lei Yuange replied, "Take care."

After Lin Shen and the others parted ways with Lei Yuange, they walked westward. Then, remembering something, they said, "Xiaoyao, Ling'er, Yueru, Anu, Wan'er, should we go and see Han Lingsha? She's guarding the Ghost Sword Pool."

Lin Yueru thought for a moment and said, "The Fantasy World will not descend into the human world for another fifteen days. This shouldn't delay anything. A trip there shouldn't be a big deal."

Jiang Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "I think we should finish our business first. It won't be too late to go later. Anos, you should know where the Ghost Sword Pool is."

Anu also said, "Yes, yes, let's go and get things done first."

Li Xiaoyao also thought it was better to finish the work first, so the others continued walking west. As they walked, they heard a strange laugh.
