Ye Chen and Yinshi looked up following her gaze.
A red moon hung in the sky!
At this moment, the red clouds had just appeared from the dark clouds!
They were strangely red!
It was as if blood was about to drip out of them!
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and frowned, “What day is it today?”
“Today?”
Ye Wen was stunned. Clearly, she did not expect him to ask that.
“Check your phone!”
Ye Chen took her phone over and checked the calendar. He realized that it was the 30th day of the ninth month on the lunar calendar. Meanwhile, his gaze was fixed on the term ‘Winter Clothes Day’!
“Master, it’s the Winter Clothes Day tomorrow!”
Yinshi also reacted, “The Winter Clothes Day symbolizes the arrival of winter, and the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival are known as one of the three great ghost festivals. It’s because on this day, people burned paper clothes to their late ancestors. It’s called the Winter Clothes Festival, and it’s also called the Dark Yin Festival, the Ghost Day!”
Ye Wen did not quite understand.
At this point, Yinshi counted with his fingers and his expression changed, “Master, I calculated. Once midnight has passed, it will be the four yin period that’s hard to come by in a hundred years!”
Ye Chen frowned, “What’s the four yin period?”
Yinshi inhaled sharply and said, “The so-called four yin period is the time of yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour. When the four yin converges, the yin energy in the world will reach a peak. Thailand calls it the Nether King’s Marriage Festival. The Nether King will marry his daughter on this day. Yin energy will travel over 1,000 kilometers on this day!”
An expression of retreat appeared on his face, “Master, I think it’s best that we don’t venture too deep into this place rashly. We need to think about this carefully. After all, many terrifying things will happen when the yin energy reaches its peak!”
“What horrible thing will happen?” Ye Wen asked curiously.
Yinshi forced a smile and said, “For instance, the ghost soldiers that I mentioned earlier, or the chaos of time and space, causing all things that shouldn’t exist in this world, or things that have already disappeared to be in the same place as us.”
Just when he was about to say something, he met Ye Chen’s cold gaze.
He did not dare to say anything else!
“I don’t care what happens. I have to go to the Ghost Witch Cult’s ancestral court. If you’re afraid, you can head back!”
Ye Chen took the lead after saying that!
What Yinshi said made him worry!
During the four yin period, the four yin converged. It was extremely easy for Su Yuhan’s mysterious yin body to be activated in such a unique environment!
The mysterious yin body!
It was something that all the spirits coveted. To them, it was a vessel that allowed them to stay forever. It was equivalent to being reborn into this world!
Once Su Yuhan’s mysterious yin body was activated, she would be like a huge lightbulb, and all the ghosts within 160 kilometers would flock to her. By then, it would not be an exaggeration to say that a hundred ghosts would surround the Helan Mountains!
Seeing that Ye Chen was already at the front, Ye Wen braced herself and followed him. Yinshi was a little hesitant, but he dared not leave!
The overlapping peaks of the Helan Mountains caused the moonlight to be unable to illuminate the entire mountains, thus some places were dark.
Ye Wen looked at the huge trees that stood around like ghosts. She had goosebumps as she followed Ye Chen closely. She was afraid that she would fall behind.
Silence!
The entire Helan Mountains was extremely quiet. There was no sound, not even the chirping of birds or insects. It was as if everything in the forest had fallen into dead silence.
Cold wind blew from all directions from time to time, causing Ye Wen’s skin to feel numb and had goosebumps all over her body.
Ye Chen did not stop walking. He was high on righteousness, and there were two spheres of golden flames dancing in his eyes. Even in the dark night, he still walked as if he was walking on flat ground.
When the three of them arrived at an open area, they could hear the sounds of battle from afar. It seemed like someone was fighting ahead. The strangest thing was that there were sounds coming from not far away, but they could not see anyone.
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and looked ahead with his hands behind his back.
The shouts turned into hurried footsteps!
It was as if countless people were marching in unison!
Immediately after, a group of shadows attacked them!
Within a blink of an eye, the shadow was completely exposed to the three of them. They were all dressed in black armor, holding swords, spears, and other weapons.
These people were surrounded by a heavy fog of death. Behind them were more than a hundred ancient carriages. The carriages were dyed red by blood.
The strange thing was that there was no one riding the carriages. There was only a green lantern hanging at the front of the carriage. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, lifting the curtain of the carriages.
There were human heads!
The carriages were filled with human heads. They were densely packed, and each head was smeared with ashes. Even so, one could still feel the blood energy coming from them.
The army and motorcade were heading toward Ye Chen’s group.
Yinshi’s face turned pale as he said in a trembling voice, “T-T ghost soldiers are passing through!”
Ye Wen had never seen such a scene before, especially the heads on the carriages. She was about to cry out subconsciously.
However, Ye Chen covered her mouth at the right time. He shook his head and said softly, “Don’t scream. If you’re scared, you can close your eyes and pretend that you didn’t see anything. I’m here with you!”
Only then did Ye Wen close her eyes. Even so, she clenched her fists tightly as her eyelashes trembled non-stop. Clearly, she was extremely scared!
After comforting her, Ye Chen turned around and looked at the army and motorcade that were charging over. He did not move at all!
He finally believed what Yinshi said!
The hundreds of figures before him were the ghost soldiers!
Since ancient times, the Helan Mountains had experienced countless battles, so it was not an exaggeration to call it an ancient battlefield. Countless people were buried here!
After these people died, they were still hanging on to their last breath, or perhaps it was because they were obsessed, so they did not realize that they had died. They kept repeating what they went through before their death!
When one was in this situation, pretending not to see was the best solution!
That was why Ye Chen stopped Ye Wen in time!
Even though he was not scared, he did not want to cause any unnecessary troubles!
Therefore, when the hundreds of ghost soldiers and the convoy approached Ye Chen and the rest, they passed through their bodies and disappeared without a trace!
Ye Chen then said while smiling, “Alright, you can open your eyes now!”
Ye Wen opened her eyes slowly and scanned her surroundings. She let out a long breath and said with a pale face, “Brother, were those really g-ghost soldiers passing by?”
If she had not followed Ye Chen this time, she would rather die than believe that such a thing existed in this world!
“That’s right!”
Ye Chen said while smirking coldly, “Actually, the so-called ghost soldiers’ crossing isn’t as terrifying as you guys think. As the saying goes, humans have their ways, and ghosts have theirs too. Everyone should go their own ways and not interfere with each other!”
When Yinshi opened his mouth to say something, a series of Chinese sorna sounds suddenly came from afar!
