Zhong Kui's Diary
For a moment, I felt the entire world before me turn pale, countless Shadow Spirits charging at me.
Thud, thud, thud.
I swung my fists like windmills; any Shadow Spirit that came into contact with my fists would be shattered into smoke.
However, there were simply too many Shadow Spirits. No matter how fast I swung my fists, I couldn't cover my entire body. In the next moment, a thick layer of Shadow Spirits clung to my legs.
Just as I was about to despair, a hand reached over from the side and grabbed the Shadow Spirits on my leg, tearing them off. Once these Shadow Spirits were pulled away by this hand, they transformed into a cloud of white mist, which then reformed into Shadow Spirits and charged at me again.
This hand naturally belonged to Kong Xuan. While he tore at the Shadow Spirits, he shouted hoarsely, "Zheng Nan, hold your breath! Don't let these things crawl into your nose or mouth!"
Damn it! With this intense movement, do you think I can hold my breath? As I opened my mouth to curse, a cold breath rushed down my throat into my body. Instantly, this cold sensation spread throughout me; my limbs stiffened. In that moment of Kung Fu, countless Shadow Spirits pounced onto my upper body. The ones pressing against my face crawled directly into my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, while others transformed into white mist and seeped into my body through my pores.
Damn! I'm done for today.
My vision began to blur. I vaguely saw Kong Xuan standing up, frantically tearing at me and shouting. I couldn't hear what he was saying; it seemed like he was calling my name. In the haze, I saw Fatty and Lingfeng rushing over from a distance. At that moment, more Shadow Spirits overwhelmed me, drowning me in this sea of pale white.
Finally, everything went dark before me, and I fainted.
I don't know how long it had been when I slowly regained consciousness. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Guo'er. Upon seeing me awake, an indescribable joy flashed in Guo'er's eyes. I smiled at her and glanced around; Kong Xuan, Lingfeng, Fatty, Ai, An Ran, and Xinyan were all there, surrounding me and smiling encouragingly. Kong Xuan let out a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and stretched lazily: "Good people don't live long; disasters last for thousands of years. This guy is definitely not a good person; he won't die so easily!"
Feeling that the sensation of being possessed by the Shadow Spirits had faded away but still experiencing a dull pain in my abdomen, I coughed lightly and asked, "What happened?"
Kong Xuan smugly stroked the stubble on his chin and then recounted everything to me.
At that moment, a Shadow Spirit surged into my body. Kong Xuan was unable to prevent this from happening, and ultimately, he had no choice but to allow the Shadow Spirit to possess me. He even stepped aside to let the Shadow Spirit enter my body more swiftly.
Kong Xuan was also taking a gamble, betting that the Shadow Spirits would fight each other for control of my body. Sure enough, after thousands of Shadow Spirits entered me, they began a frenzied battle, a brutal struggle to the death.
Eventually, when only one Shadow Spirit remained inside me, Kong Xuan took decisive action. Fatty added that there was no time to call Qingcheng at this point, and since Guo'er’s consciousness was inside Qingcheng's body, even if she were called, she wouldn't be able to kill the Shadow Spirit within me. With no other option, Kong Xuan stabbed at my abdomen with a steel spike repeatedly. After more than twenty strikes, he finally managed to injure the Shadow Spirit enough to drag it out and kill it.
I expressionlessly lifted the blanket and looked at the needle holes on my abdomen. I nodded at Kong Xuan and shouted with all my strength, "Damn it! You've turned my eight-pack abs into a pineapple bun!"
Kong Xuan immediately exploded in anger, "Do you want me to put another Shadow Spirit in your belly? I swear I won't care!"
"You ruined my abs and you're still in the right? Fine, considering your age, I won't argue with you about this. Just remember, you owe me a favor!" I replied with a smile.
When I asked about other matters, Kong Xuan had melted the Yeling Mirror into a Copper Door using a spell and thrown it into the trash can. Only by doing so could he completely break the formation set within the copper mirror.
As for Shattering Stone, just as Lingfeng mentioned, it was left in front of a dump truck. The truck driver voluntarily turned himself in. There was no need to worry about the bullet holes on Shattering Stone; someone would naturally suppress this matter. Even though the Shi family had considerable power in Shacheng, under pressure from the Ling Family, they would never see Shattering Stone's corpse. There was no need to go into such detail about everything.
After hearing about Shattering Stone's accident, Xinyan shook her head and sighed. I wondered if Shattering Stone would feel comforted if he could hear Li Xinyan's sigh.
The sky outside gradually brightened; it was a new beginning.
We charged into the Li Family according to our original plan. Initially, we used sweet words to trick open the first big door. Then we used red envelopes to knock open the second door. The final door was Li Xinyan's private chamber door, which was filled with her close friends. These people were truly outrageous; they even added an extra security lock in Xinyan's room just for convenience in asking for red envelopes.
This way, the door could be opened just wide enough for a fist to fit through to slide in red envelopes, but it was impossible to rush in and grab someone unless one resorted to extreme measures like breaking down the door.
Listening to the cheerful laughter and chatter behind the door, we were at a loss for words. Fatty tried several times to break in, but I stopped him. They were just looking for some fun, and besides, for Lingfeng, could any problem that could be solved with money really be considered a problem?
Lingfeng was indeed generous; the red envelopes were stuffed with one-hundred-yuan bills. After putting in about ten of them, someone inside said, "Wow, it's a hundred! How about we let him in?"
"Hmph! No way! You guys have no spirit at all. Can't you hold out for a few minutes? You're giving up in less than a minute?"
The few of us outside exchanged glances; that voice belonged to Li Xinyan.
Upon hearing this, Lingfeng burst into laughter, took out a large handful of red envelopes, then pulled out a stack of cash. Without counting, he stuffed it into one of the envelopes and said with a grin, "I have twenty or thirty red envelopes here, and one of them has a stack of cash inside. Make sure you pick wisely!"
Then he waved the red envelope through the crack in the door before quickly pulling it back and tossing it onto the ground behind him, shouting, "I'm throwing this red envelope outside now; whoever comes out first gets it!"
Instantly, there was a flurry of laughter and screams as the door swung open, and a group of joyful girls rushed past us.
"How vulgar! So disgustingly materialistic!" I shook my head disdainfully and stuffed two red envelopes I caught in mid-air into my pocket.
Lingfeng laughed as he dashed inside, scooped up the pouting Li Xinyan for a quick kiss, and then quickly exited with our group covering him as they headed to the car.
Amid honking horns, nine cars drove out of Purple Garden District in single file.
According to the rules, Lingfeng and Xinyan should sit in the lead car, with bridesmaid Aijia Yu in the passenger seat. My role as best man had me sitting shotgun in the second car with Lingfeng's parents. The third car would carry Xinyan's parents...
However, since Lingfeng's father was quite an important figure and Ling's mother Damn was feeling slightly unwell, they couldn't make it to Shacheng but managed to call their relatives to explain.
Thus, the lead car still had Lingfeng and the three others while I sat with Qingcheng and Kong Xuan in the second car. The third car contained Li's Dad and Li Mama, while Fatty rode with An Ran in the fourth car...
The reason I am describing the situation of the convoy in such detail is that we soon encountered something extremely frustrating.
When the vehicle reached the third ridge of General Mountain, for some unknown reason, the third car suddenly broke down, which was the one carrying Li's Dad and Li Mama. The breakdown occurred in a narrow section of the road, forcing the six cars behind to stop and wait, while the two cars in front moved slowly, trying to figure out what to do.
It was precisely because we were moving slowly that we saved a few lives. A loud crash echoed about two hundred meters ahead of us as a mudslide came crashing down, completely blocking the road. If we had been driving even slightly faster, we would have likely been buried under the debris.
The driver of my car was the same one who had experienced a mudslide on the way here. He stared blankly ahead and muttered, "I knew there would be a mudslide!"
I could hardly contain my urge to hit him; he really has a knack for bad luck!
Still shaken, I got out to check the situation, only to hear another thunderous sound behind us. Another mudslide came rushing down, leaving our two cars trapped between two sections of debris.
I called to communicate with the vehicles behind us and confirmed that they were not in danger. After some discussion, we decided to climb down the mountain from here. The cliffs above this stretch of road could collapse again at any moment, causing another mudslide, and both sides of the road were blocked by debris, making it impossible to go around.
According to Kong Xuan's instructions, there was a temple below. In front of the temple was a large flat area where we could contact a helicopter to pick us up. As for the seven cars behind us, they would all have to turn back and take a detour through Qingjiang County. Since we were already delayed, we weren't too concerned about losing a bit more time.
Xinyan was wearing a wedding dress, while Qingcheng pretended to rummage through her backpack and pulled out a set of casual clothes that could fit Xinyan after rolling up the pant legs and sleeves. After changing clothes, our group of eight began to stagger downwards. Following Kong Xuan's vague memory, we finally spotted the legendary temple.
