After going upstairs and putting all the talismans she drew and stored at home into her bag, Gu Zhisang went downstairs again.
Zheng Ruyu was standing by the tree and was on the phone with her superiors. When she came down, she glanced at her backpack and said:
“Miss Gu, wait for a while, the higher-ups have sent a special car to pick you up. They will take you to the airport immediately and are already arranging a temporary ticket for you.”
“Don’t be so troublesome, the speed is too slow.”
Gu Zhisang shook her head and said, “Tell me about missing persons first.”
Zheng Ruyu was stunned momentarily, then said: “It’s like this, the generation of outsiders in the southwestern part of Hunan Province is quite special. The head of the Special Spiritual Department branch over there is a colleague of the Miao Nationality, a descendant of the ancient village.”
Hunan Province has been a very mysterious region since ancient times.
The means and spells of Miao Masters in that area were opposite to the Yang being advocated by orthodox Buddhism and Taoism. They use Yin energy to raise Gu insects.
Among them, the most famous ones were ‘Breeding Gu” and ‘Releasing Gu’.
The mysterious Miao Masters who came out of Hunan Province more than a hundred years ago were all rejected by people and were considered not decent and crooked individuals.
Because of this, the Miao descendants of the Hunan generation did not have a good relationship with Taoist Sects, and they never obeyed the discipline of Taoism. They were one of the few factions in Xia Country who dared to be tough with Taoist Sects.
After the country established the Special Spiritual Department, they made friendly exchanges with the Miao descendants in Hunan Province and managed the local area together. The head of the branch was also a well-known “big witch” from the Wujiang lineage and had a good relationship with Zheng Ruyu.
Zheng Ruyu said: “At about 3:00 this afternoon, the first missing report was reported in a peripheral city in Hunan Province. According to eyewitnesses, the kidnapped were two girls who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were shopping while on vacation. Suddenly a black figure rushed out from the alley and took the two of them away, it happened so fast and so suddenly that no one took a picture of that thing.”
“According to eyewitnesses, the thing looked like a very strong adult male. At first glance, he seemed to have hair on his body. They didn’t know if he was wearing any clothes. After receiving the report, the local police didn’t think about special incidents. They thought it was an ordinary kidnapping. They looked at the surrounding surveillance cameras and mobilized the police force to carry out arrests.”
“Unexpectedly, just over an hour later, another abducted case broke out in the next city. The abductee was a 6-year-old boy. This time, many people saw something that looked like a monster with inhuman speed, which caused some panic…”
By this time, the local police department had already noticed something was wrong.
Due to the prevalence of local folk customs, they knew more or less of the existence of the Special Spiritual Department, so they reported the two cases to the Hunan Provincial branch.
The person in charge of the branch was Miao’s descendants. Among the older generations, she knows about ‘corpse breeders’ and ‘corpse hunting’. When she looked at the surveillance, she found that the thing that broke into the city was a zombie of a high level!
It was Mao Zombie who had just issued an arrest by the Special Spiritual Department.
She immediately contacted the headquarters, and only then did the Special Spiritual Department determine the exact location of the Feng Shui Master.
At this moment, there were 4 women and 6 men missing around Hunan Province.
The females were all between the ages of twelve to sixteen, while the males were between the ages of five and eight.
Among the missing persons was a young girl who was sent out from the Miao ancient village. She was a descendant of the ‘witch’ in the village. While picking herbs on the mountain, the missing Feng Shui Master appeared.
He wounded the ‘Great Witch’ next to the young girl, and then fled into the mountains with the Mao Zombie.
According to the “Great Witch” who escaped from the dead, the Feng Shui Master carried a black coffin more than one meter high on his back, which didn’t look like an adult coffin.
And the Mao zombie next to him was still an unrefined corpse For some reason it obeyed the Feng Shui Master’s words very much.
Hearing this, Gu Zhisang frowned, she nodded and said, “I understand the situation, I’ll go there now.”
Zheng Ruyu was puzzled. She didn’t know how she would go there. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She was so shocked by the scene in front of her that she couldn’t speak.
She saw Gu Zhisang stomp her feet on the ground with a calm face, and then the surrounding aura around her changed in an instant. In the next second a dark and towering gate of hell rose from the ground and appeared in front of them out of thin air.
The yin energy of the underworld overflowed from the gate of hell, making the surrounding temperature instantly cool down, making Gu Zhisang look like a Shura in the underworld.
Zheng Ruyu stammered: “This, this is… the gate of hell?!”
Gu Zhisang nodded, approached the ghost gate, saw her still looking dull, and wondered: “Why don’t you come here, it’s faster this way.”
Zheng Ruyu: “… …”
“No, I have to stay in Rongcheng and can’t leave. Originally, the higher-ups arranged for a few team members to go there with you, and planned to let you meet at the airport.”
Of course, she knew that it would be so fast, after all, this was the legendary gate of hell!!!
The gate of hell was the medium connecting the worlds of yin and yang.
It can appear in any corner of the earth. Generally speaking, only the Yin Envoys of the underworld can open ghost doors at will.
In the Taoist Sects, there was no lack of people with a sharp sense of spirituality. However, only people with pure Yin attributes can work as impermanent and walk through this gate, but it consumes so much energy, and also, only souls can travel through the gate of hell.
This was the first time Zheng Ruyu had heard of a person who could summon the gate of hell with a wave of her hand and enter with a physical body!
Who is this Gu Zhisang?!
After Gu Zhisang asked where Mao Zombie was last seen, she waved her hand to Zheng Ruyu and said:
“There’s no need for your companion, I’ll go ahead and call if you have any questions.”
As she said that, she plunged headlong into the gate of hell, allowing the dark yin energy in the gate to engulf her.
Even after the gate of hell disappeared, and the surroundings returned to calm, Zheng Ruyu was still in shock and couldn’t recover.
She called her superior and told him what happened just now. The person on the other end of the phone was a little shocked and said after a while:
“This Gu Zhisang is not easy, don’t fight against her, you must pull people into the Special Spiritual Department.”

At the intersection of Huangquan Road, the ox head carrying a steel fork was chewing the evil grass beside the Santu River, watching the ghosts slowly moving forward on the Huangquan Road, and sighing heavily.
The little ghost at the side said flatteringly: “Why are you sighing? If there is any uncomfortable matter, this little one can share your worries.”
“Go farther and don’t hinder my supervision.”
Niu Tou stared at the other party impatiently.
He has no artist to chase, no programs to watch, how can a little ghost help him solve it?
Although the efficiency of the technical ghosts in the Palace of the King of Hell was quite talented, and they have already introduced some short dramas from the living world to the underworld, the response has been mediocre.
Most of the ghosts were counting the days on their fingers, waiting for the new episode of “Spiritual Affairs” to start broadcasting.
After taking out the new Tiandi brand mobile phone that the little ghost gave him as a tribute, Niu Tou sighed again. There was still another day before the new program started broadcasting, but he couldn’t wait to watch Sangsang.
After turning off the screen, Niu Tou looked up and saw a familiar figure appearing at the intersection of Huangquan.
Niu Tou: “?!!”
“Sang… Gu Zhisang?”
Hearing her name, Gu Zhisang glanced at Niu Tou, and nodded to it: “Yin Master, I have something to do and borrow your underworld.”
After speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared at the intersection of Huangquan.
Niu Tou was so excited to strike up a conversation with the contestant he liked, but the person disappeared before he could talk, he couldn’t help but beat his chest and stomp his feet, and he became even more depressed.
As soon as Gu Zhisang appeared in Huangquan, the news spread from the underworld. Many ghosts knew that she was gone, but they still flocked to the intersection of Huangquan, trying to see if they could find people.

In the Western Hunan Province, at the foot of a certain mountain
Faint ripples floated in the empty air, and a gloomy gate of hell suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterward, Gu Zhisang, the newly promoted leader of the underworld, walked out of it.
With a compass in her hand, she stepped out of the gate of hell and looked around. She frowned slightly at the mountain stretching not far away.
This was the Fubai Mountain in the west of Hunan Province. Most of the people living at the foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain were of Miao Nationality. According to the news received by the Special Spiritual Department, this was the place where the Feng Shui Master and Mao Zombie last appeared, and they plundered Miao Ancient Village. The descendants of the “witch” in the ancient village fled into the mountains again.
