Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2197 - 2153: Encountering a Ghost?
Previously on Peach Blossom Divine Medical God...
"Brother Chen Yang, I’m starving. Let’s find a place to eat, and at the same time, we can see where we are and figure out where to go next," Tu Qi said to Chen Yang, barely holding on.
Chen Yang felt that they were not far from the town anymore and would definitely reach it before dark. So he nodded in agreement.
"Alright."
Saying this, the two of them descended from high up, landing amidst the trees.
Coincidentally, the place where they landed was right next to a mountain road.
But they didn’t know where this road led.
"Ugh, I’m starving to death."
As they landed, Tu Qi couldn’t bother to observe the surroundings anymore. He sat directly on a large rock, pulled out some food from his storage space, and started eating voraciously.
"Brother Chen Yang, want some?"
While eating, he handed Chen Yang a piece of meat.
Looking at the greasy meat, Chen Yang wasn’t interested.
He shook his head, "No, thanks, I have my own."
Saying this, he went to collect some firewood nearby, set it up, and then took out the meat of a frost bear from his storage space, roasting it over the fire.
At first, Tu Qi thought Chen Yang was just roasting some ordinary meat and didn’t pay much attention.
But soon, he noticed that the meat smelled more and more delicious as it was being roasted.
Compared to the chicken meat in his hand, it was a few levels more aromatic.
In comparison, the chicken meat he had was simply rubbish.
Tu Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he stared at the roasting meat and then approached, asking with envy, "Brother Chen Yang, what kind of meat are you roasting? Why does it smell so good?"
Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, knowing this guy was envious, so he wasn’t stingy and took out another piece of frost bear meat from his storage space.
"If you want to eat, roast it yourself. Don’t think about my piece," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Hehe, alright."
Tu Qi grinned widely, took the large piece of fatty meat, skewered it on a stick like Chen Yang, and started roasting it over the fire.
While roasting, he chatted with Chen Yang about random things.
"Brother Chen Yang, I found out that you enjoy life even more than I do. You always carry gourmet food with you; people really can’t be judged by their appearances," Tu Qi said with a smile.
"I’m not like you. This meat is for replenishing spiritual power, not for satisfying hunger," Chen Yang hurriedly explained, distinguishing himself from him.
"What? Replenishing spiritual power? Brother Chen Yang, are you joking? Can this piece of meat really replenish spiritual power? Did you infuse it with Spirit Qi Liquid?" Tu Qi was in disbelief.
Chen Yang didn’t bother to explain, simply saying, "You’ll know once you eat it."
After saying this, he focused on his roasting.
After a while, the surrounding area was filled with the fragrance of meat.
Chen Yang’s roast was naturally done first.
He picked it up, smelled it, and it really had a good aroma.
Then, right in front of Tu Qi, he began to eat heartily.
Watching Chen Yang take big bites with a look of enjoyment on his face, Tu Qi was a bit dazed.
His mouth was almost watering.
But he didn’t say much, just moved his meat closer to the flames, wanting it to cook faster.
After a few more minutes, his meat was also done.
Having been looking forward to it for a long time, he picked it up and started gnawing and devouring it.
After a few bites, he was full of praise.
"Hmm... the flavor is really good. I’ve never had this kind of meat before. Brother Chen Yang, what kind of meat is this?" Tu Qi asked Chen Yang in surprise after swallowing a few bites.
As he swallowed, Tu Qi also felt a faint spiritual energy emanating from within him.
It really could help restore the spiritual energy inside him!
Noticing this, Tu Qi was even more surprised.
"Frost bear meat."
Seeing his naive expression, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
"Frost bear?" Tu Qi paused, then remembered what it was.
"So it’s high-level demon beast meat, no wonder it’s so delicious and can restore spiritual power." Tu Qi suddenly realized and stopped speaking, just sitting by the roadside with Chen Yang, eating large mouthfuls.
And when they were about done eating and ready to leave.
Woo woo woo...
Suddenly, a very eerie musical instrument sound echoed from the nearby forest.
The instrument played strange music, both piercing and unsettling.
"What’s going on?"
Tu Qi and Chen Yang stood up simultaneously, vigilant of their surroundings.
After the music started, white smoke began to rise from both ends of the road.
Dense white smoke, like a vast fog, surged toward Chen Yang and Tu Qi.
Seeing this, both Chen Yang and Tu Qi felt a bad premonition rising in their hearts!
"What’s happening?"
Tu Qi asked again.
"I don’t know! Let’s just watch," Chen Yang was also puzzled by this sudden scene.
The scene was eerie, yet it didn’t feel dangerous.
This feeling was really strange.
The piercing, eerie music continued to play, and after the fog appeared, two groups of people dressed like ghosts suddenly appeared at both ends of the road.
One group was white, the other black.
They approached Chen Yang and Tu Qi, who were in the middle of the road, from both ends.
These "ghosts" bounced around.
Accompanied by the terrifying and chilling music, it seemed like a ghostly parade.
In reality, Chen Yang and Tu Qi could clearly feel the living aura from them!
They weren’t really ghosts at all.
"What should we do, Chen Yang? It looks like they’re coming for us! Should we fight?"
Tu Qi saw this eerie scene and wasn’t very scared.
After all, at their level, how could they still be afraid of ghosts?
"No rush, let’s see what they’re up to first!" Chen Yang was more composed.
These people acted strangely, seemingly performing some mysterious ritual. They might not be coming for them.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Tu Qi didn’t rush to act either. Standing by the roadside with Chen Yang, he unconsciously kept his hands on the two cleavers behind him.
If anything went wrong, he would draw his knives immediately.
Chen Yang quietly activated the Demon Suppression Record within him!
Woo woo woo...
The eerie music continued to play, and as the group of people in black and white jumped along with the chilling music, they met in front of Chen Yang and Tu Qi.
But the two groups seemed to not see each other at all, just passing through each other without interaction.
Then, gradually, both groups, shrouded in thick fog, disappeared from the road.
Seeing this mysterious group that appeared suddenly but left just as abruptly, Chen Yang and Tu Qi were full of confusion.
What was that ghost thing just now?
Did they encounter ghosts in broad daylight? No way.
But if they weren’t ghosts, the movements, gestures, the eerie fog, and the music of those people were really haunting!
"So strange. I’ve grown up, but I’ve never heard of such a custom anywhere,"
Tu Qi shook his head repeatedly as he composed himself.
The incident that just happened was truly baffling.
"Perhaps it’s just the local custom here."
Chen Yang accepted it quickly, not overthinking, as long as it wasn’t directed at him, any ghostly custom didn’t matter to him.
