Outside the tall stone hall, Xiao Hanyan and Yang Feiyuan stood side by side, talking in low voices from time to time. When they saw Wang Qi leaving the hall, they immediately came forward to greet him.
"Brother Dao, how are your injuries?" Yang Feiyuan bowed his head.
Wang Qi reached out and took out the Yin Shen Jade, handed it to the other party, and then said: "It's all right. Thank you both. How did you get here?" He was also a little curious. After death, can one really go to Hades? Continue to practice?
Yang Feiyuan took the treasure, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Speaking of this matter, it is still Han Yan who did it. That day she broke the divine sea and wanted to go with me. I didn't expect that Dao Yun was born to protect our souls. Immortal, arrive safely in the underworld, otherwise, like the ghost soldiers, their past lives will be forgotten, and their spiritual intelligence will disappear."
Xiao Hanyan continued: "After the two of us came to Mingzhou, we were fortunate enough to meet the Lord of Blackstone City. When he saw that we had the Mingling Dao lineage, he took me and my husband in, and we had this safe place."
When I first arrived in Mingzhou, everything was difficult. I went through many hardships and dangers. Then I met the Lord of the City and gained his appreciation, and I finally gained a foothold.
Wang Qi nodded slightly. He was not an ordinary person to be able to run such a tall city for dozens of miles in the land of Mingzhou. He immediately said: "I wonder where the city lord is now. Can you introduce him to him?"
Xiao Hanyan was stunned and sighed softly: "The city lord wanted to rush to the immortal road two years ago, but he accidentally triggered the demonic fire. His body died and his soul disappeared. The road of ghost cultivation was arduous step by step. When he reached the level of the ghost king, every time he passed In five hundred years, a calamity will come, and if it is not passed, it will be ashes and ashes."
"Oh?! What is this calamity that has such power!" Wang Qi asked.
"Cultivators in the human world have a lifespan limit and three disasters and nine disasters. This ghost cultivator in the underworld also has a legend about three disasters. One is the Immortal Tribulation Fire. This fire starts in the ventricle and must pass three times before it can burn the three flowers and achieve gold. Dan is a ghost and immortal. After that, every five hundred years, another thunder tribulation will occur. After six thunder tribulations, death will lead to life. It is said that if all six times are passed, it will be the realm of true Yang. At this time , has become the same as the monks in the human world, equivalent to the late stage of the golden elixir. After that, there were nine more wind disasters. The city lord once said that when the Lingtai was hit by strong winds, the divine sea was completely wiped out. He has been practicing for thousands of years and has never heard of any ghost who has survived the wind disaster. ..." Xiao Hanyan came to the road quietly, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
That day, I saw with my own eyes that the fire in the heart of the city lord was burning. The ghosts tried to put out the fire with their bodies, but it was like nothingness and passed through the fire. The fire was invisible and qualityless, and could not be touched by others. No one could help. They could only rely on their own magic power. , if you can't pass it, your soul will be destroyed.
Since then, every time I think of these three disasters, I feel worried. The way forward is unclear, where can the ghosts cultivate... Moreover, this place is dark and gray, without the prosperity of the human world, and it is very boring.
Yang Fei didn't see her like this, so he stepped forward, held her hand, and said, "You and I are lucky enough to have this chance to continue our mortal relationship. Why worry about it too much? If we can live happily and peacefully, this life will be worthwhile."
Xiao Hanyan smiled when she heard this, her eyebrows curved, she tightened her palms and said with a smile: "Husband, I was just thinking that the scenery in Mingzhou is really bad, and there is no place to relax. Woolen cloth......"
Yang Feiyuan and Wang Qi stayed together, secretly saying that it was really hard to guess what this woman was thinking.
Wang Qi saw that the two of them were so loving, and smiled in his heart. Being able to live and die together is a rare thing in the world. Suddenly something appeared in his hand and said: "Friend Xiao, this treasure should be returned to its original owner. It's just that I have already used two of the three Heaven-reaching Sword Intentions, please forgive me."
Xiao Hanyan looked at the purple lotus deified lamp, slightly surprised, and said hurriedly: "Brother Taoist, you should carry a bodyguard when walking in Mingzhou. The two of us have this city as our home, and there is no shortage of defensive magic weapons... "
"Don't worry, you two. I have a spiritual weapon with me, and I don't lack anything to protect myself. There is also a Taixuan Heavenly Sword on top of it. As long as it is drawn but not fired, no one in this land of Mingzhou would dare to try the sword with their own body!" Wang Qi said.
Thinking about it, this is the sword intention of the world's best swordsman. Who can withstand it? He used two swords to kill Shen Quezi's bodyguard Nanming Lihuo and Wan Chengxian's Jinxianzhen with one sword. Spirit, these are all amazing achievements.
He raised his hand and handed the treasure to Xiao Hanyan.
Xiao Hanyan no longer hesitated and took the purple lotus lantern with a smile on her face. After all, this treasure was her beloved thing and it could be regarded as a family heirloom. Now that she was back with her, she felt very happy. She bowed her head solemnly. Yili: "Thank you, Brother Dao."
Yang Feiyuan also bowed to him, his gratitude beyond words, and he immediately said: "Brother Dao is here in Mingzhou. If you need anything, you will be there without hesitation."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "I just entered this place by mistake. There are also Xizhou Lotus Dao Sect and others in my group. When their trial is over, we will go back together. You don't have to worry."
Xiao Hanyan thought for a moment, took out an animal skin and said, "This is a map with a radius of five thousand miles. There are some dangerous places marked on it. Brother Taoist, please be careful. Even the Golden Core monks can't safely enter and leave this place." .”
"Oh, and there are Jedi?!" Wang Qi took it. The object was unusually soft and not some kind of animal skin. He looked carefully and saw two red areas on it, drawn with blood. There were two Jedi on it. The words are shocking.
Xiao Hanyan said: "Three thousand miles west of here, there is a place of death. There is an ancient dragon corpse inside, which has mutated into a demon. It is said that it is a high-level dragon clan, powerful and unfathomable. There is also a place to the southwest. Four Thousand Miles is a black water poisonous swamp with a radius of 800 miles, and there are demonic insects everywhere in it. It is rumored that there is a mother moth in here. If you enter it, you will die or not. Brother Dao, you must not break in."
Wang Qi looked at the map carefully. Apart from these two red marks, other places were quite safe, but there were more black areas. He asked, "What do the black areas on this map mean?"
"I haven't been to these places for nearly a hundred years. If you want to go there, brother Dao, you need to be careful. The devilish energy in the underworld has exploded. Many ghosts with weak roots have found their way to the top, and there have been more ghost generals. If not In this case, my husband and I might still be ghost soldiers." Xiao Hanyan said with a smile.
"Yes, when Hanyan and I first arrived, the demonic energy in Mingzhou had already risen. With the guidance of the city lord, and there was a demonic well in the city, the demonic energy was sufficient to advance quickly," Yang Feiyuan said.
Wang Qi nodded slightly and asked: "How is the war outside?" I don't know where Su Nian and others are now. At that time, there was a change in the divine sea, so he didn't care so much. He stabilized his own situation first before talking about anything else.
"All the ghost soldiers outside the city have retreated. By the way, a woman came to the city and called herself Su Jiu. She said she was a Taoist brother's companion, but she was not allowed to enter the city." Xiao Hanyan said, she heard that Wang Qi entered this place by mistake. , and also had an alias, so he knew that his companion might not be trustworthy, so how could he be allowed into the city.
Wang Qi put away the map and asked, "Is she the only one?"
"Yes, she is the only one who came to the city." Yang Feiyuan said.
Wang Qi pondered for a moment and said: "My companions may be going to surround and kill the Ghost King, but they have to go and see. We can't let anything happen to them." At this point, he bowed his hands and said, "You two, take your leave first."
"Brother Dao, it would be better if my husband and I come along as helpers," Yang Feiyuan said.
Xiao Hanyan said: "That's right, the city lord still has 20,000 ghost soldiers, so we can take them with him."
Wang Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "My current identity is slightly different. You two will guard the city. If you really need it, come again."
Seeing him talking like this, the two knew that there must be something inside, so they stopped trying to persuade each other and sent Wang Qi out of the city.
Su Jiu stood alone in front of the Baizhang City, as small as an ant.
A ghost general had just replied to her, saying that he was reporting to her, but nearly two hours had passed and he had not returned yet. She did not know how injured he was. Furthermore, her sister and others were following the ghost king. What was her situation now? Worried on both sides, really anxious.
She walked back and forth, constantly looking at the city gate. Finally, the huge city gate made a roaring sound. She took a closer look, her face showed joy, and she immediately went up to meet it.
"Mr. Qin, are you okay with your injury?" Su Jiu asked anxiously. Seeing that Wang Qi's clothes and armor were neatly dressed and his complexion was rosy, she felt less worried.
Wang Qi walked out of the city gate alone. Seeing her anxious expression, he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. How long have you been here?"
"It's been two hours. Sister and the others have already gone to follow the Ghost King. Let's get there quickly." Su Jiu came close and took a look at the person in front of him. With his own strength, he killed tens of thousands of ghost soldiers. , three ghosts will die and escape, it is incredible.
Wang Qi's eyebrows raised. Su Nian had some thoughts. Pan Shuang and his entourage had never been exposed. It was actually very risky to follow them. But he then thought about it. Ghost King and Pan Shuang might not be able to withstand this matter. If they can get back together again, maybe... suspicions have arisen, and there is even a possibility of internal strife.
"Without any further delay, let's set off quickly. Jiu'er, you know the way."
"Of course."
The two unfolded their movements, and Su Jiu looked up at the sky from time to time to observe the changes in the clouds. She had her own tracking technique and could find her own secret mark through changes in airflow. However, this method was limited in time and was only effective within one day.
But he said that the ghost king led his troops to retreat.
There were nearly 100,000 troops when they came, but now there were only three or two big ghosts and small ghosts. During the retreat, some ghost soldiers fled in all directions, and they didn't know where they went. Now they only have a thousand skeleton soldiers following them, which can be said to be dead and wounded. heavy.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel irritated. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it was all destroyed in one day. It was this woman who tempted me to attack the city. She also said that the city lord was gone. Huh, damn it! !
"Lord Ghost King, this was a bad start. I didn't expect that the ghost general guarding the city actually colluded with the Qi Refiner, so that he fell short of the success. You, the Ghost King, lost your troops and generals. Let's forget about using the magic well." Pan Shuang said, she Seeing that the ghost king was serious in his thoughts, he had nearly 100,000 troops when he left, but now they are basically useless, so how could he still lend her the magic well?
The Ghost King smiled gloomily when he heard this and said, "Although Daoist Pan's information is wrong, the Yin Shen Jade is real. Regarding the magic well, there is no harm in using it."
Pan Shuang's eyes brightened slightly. She didn't expect that the Ghost King was quite magnanimous. It was rumored that ghosts had very low credibility, but it didn't seem certain. She leaned over slightly and said, "Thank you, Ghost King."
"Do you recognize that Qi Refiner?" asked the Ghost King. That man has profound magic power and superb swordsmanship. If he were in this city, it would be extremely difficult to capture it.
Pan Shuang shook his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I've never seen it before. That person used a magical power of transformation. His red hair and dark skin may be the secret of the Blood Saint Sect."
"Now that this man is defending the city, how can we attack it? Friends Daoist Pan, do you have any good ideas?" The Ghost King continued to ask, he is unwilling to accept this Yin Shen Jade, not to mention such trivial things as revenge and blood hatred. We must also fight for the opportunity of the road of ghosts and immortals!
