Chapter 153: The Wandering God of the Sun

The scene before Chu Jiang’s eyes was very strange, or rather, the group of people ahead of him was very strange.

The leader of the group didn’t look like a person at all, but more like a ghost.

He had a pale complexion and was dressed like an ancient official, wearing a small hat and a white robe with black boots. He had a long beard on his face and carried a scroll in one hand and a wooden sign in the other, which had the words "Sun Wandering" written on it.

This person seemed to be Yun Changfeng, but normally he wore a mask and Chu Jiang had never seen his full face before.

However, Yun Changfeng’s condition was very strange. He exuded a chilling aura, and his figure appeared very transparent in the sunlight, with only a blurry outline. If one didn’t pay attention, it would be easy to overlook him.

Moreover, Yun Changfeng’s appearance reminded Chu Jiang of a phrase, "Wandering God of the Sun."

The Wandering God of the Sun, also known as the Sun Wanderer, was a malevolent deity from ancient legends who would roam around during the day, just like its counterpart, the Night Wanderer.

In Act Three of the opera "Peach Blossom Girl," it is recorded, "When she left home today, she ran into the Sun Wandering God. Even though she wouldn’t die, she would still be injured when going into battle."

It can be seen that this fierce deity was greatly feared by the people in ancient times. Even in modern times, according to feng shui, it is still believed that offending the Sun Wandering God can bring calamity and disaster. People have to consider the auspicious days for travel and bed placement, avoiding the direction where the wandering god resides.

Later generations regarded the Sun Wandering God as a subordinate to the underworld deities such as Yama, the Great Emperor of the East, and the City God. In short, whether it is the Sun Wandering God or the Night Wandering God, they are closely related to the underworld.

Chu Jiang had never seen a ghost before, especially one related to ancient legends. But here comes the question: Is Yun Changfeng alive or dead? Is he human or a ghost?

After observing for a while, Chu Jiang noticed that Yun Changfeng was silently floating forward. He had no expression, and his gaze was vacant. No matter how you looked at it, he already looked like a ghost.

Could it be that an evil spirit had possessed Yun Changfeng’s body? But if an evil spirit were to possess someone, it would separate itself from the host’s body, right? And how could an evil spirit take on the appearance of the host?

Or…maybe this isn’t a ghost, but it’s Yun Changfeng himself. It’s just that he has entered a very peculiar state where he has merged with the ghost that is within him, becoming a half-human, half-ghost figure.

As for why he would do this, considering the hurried message Yun Changfeng left for Chu Jiang earlier, it is easy to guess.

When the Black Sun officially descends upon Luohe City, Yun Changfeng probably realized that there is a great probability of him dying this time.

Even Yun Changfeng had noticed that he got cursed by the S-class ghost because he had contact with Zhang Xiaogui.

If his condition continues to worsen, Yun Changfeng might not even wait for Chu Jiang to come find him, and even if Chu Jiang came, he might not be able to save him.

So Yun Changfeng decisively chose to save himself.

But his self-saving method was very special and dangerous. It seemed that he let the ghost temporarily take control of his body.

In this way, even though Yun Changfeng got contaminated, because the ghost occupied his body, the curse of the Black Sun could not distort his perception.

Not to mention that his ghost is suspected to be the Sun Wandering God, so during the day, he is like a fish in water. Wherever the Black Sun is, it is like daytime all the time.

After entering this state, Yun Changfeng doesn’t seem to be afraid of the Black Sun’s radiation. He didn’t become a ghost servant, but instead, following the instincts of a fierce ghost, he began to wander around.

Moreover, after turning into the Sun Wandering God, Yun Changfeng still seems to retain some of his instincts as a living person.

For example, after finishing writing a message, the transformed Yun Changfeng would put the pen cap back on and return it to its original place. He wouldn’t even destroy anything in the rental house and would lock the door when going out.

Of course, all of this is unconscious. If Yun Changfeng still had the ability to think, he wouldn’t do such unnecessary things. Haven’t you seen the look of the end of the world outside? There’s no time to bother with this now.

In conclusion, it seems that Yun Changfeng has succeeded. He truly deserves to be called the Ghost Master whom even Fang Tianci highly regards. Besides the sealed objects, he also has a hidden trick up his sleeve.

But the others…

Chu Jiang looked behind Yun Changfeng and saw a string of "people," no, actually none of them were humans, they were all ghosts and ghost servants!

First, there are three black fire skulls. They are not like the other skulls, wandering aimlessly on the streets in search of living people. Instead, they obediently follow behind the Sun Wandering God, like a few little soldiers.

Next, there are three ghosts. The first one is a small ghost the size of a thumb. It looks easily overlooked, completely red in color, and is sitting on the shoulder of a ghost skull.

The second one is a Hanged Ghost with an old rope wrapped around its neck. Its face is purple, tongue sticking out, and standing on tiptoe with a pitiful expression. It is also mixed in the crowd, following behind a ghost skull.

The last one is a female ghost with a long neck. Her neck is as long as a snake, coiling around several times. Her hair is untidy and her face is horribly ugly. This ghost is also following behind a ghost skull.

This is the reason why Chu Jiang finds this scene very strange.

A ghost led a group of ghosts, and the team was harmonious. It seemed like everyone was obediently following the leader, Sun Wandering God.

There was another strange thing. The group of ghosts behind Yun Changfeng appeared blurry and transparent in the sunlight. If it wasn’t for Phantom Eyes, Chu Jiang felt like he wouldn’t even be able to see this line of ghosts.

These three blackfire skeletons were probably the local folk Ghost Masters who turned into ghosts after they died. They must have been contaminated and then exposed to sunlight, causing them to die in a frenzy.

After their deaths, the spirits inside their bodies gradually recovered and ultimately left their bodies.

Up to this point, everything was normal, but Chu Jiang didn’t quite understand why the skeletons and ghosts were all following Sun Wandering God. Was that also Yun Changfeng’s idea? To escape with his brothers?

If that was the case, it would be quite tragic.

After discovering that the sunlight from the Black Sun was problematic, Chu Jiang immediately notified the people at the police station and broadcasted a city-wide announcement.

However, no matter how fast they were, there was still a time difference. Many citizens of Luohe City died during that time.

As for Yun Changfeng, it was highly likely that he had allowed Sun Wandering God to possess his body before hearing the broadcast.

Then a problem came up, if the Sun Wandering God doesn’t wander, then what’s the point of calling it the Sun Wandering God?

Yun Changfeng might be worried that if he leaves, his friends will be left in the rental house and die a horrible death.

So he thought of a solution and used some special method to force the Sun Wandering God to bring along the other Ghost Masters and leave, and even though the Sun Wandering God won’t harm them, it will protect them.

But Yun Changfeng didn’t expect that because they lost the cover of the building, it actually accelerated their death…
