Returning to the path again and continuing to move forward, the ghost energy became more and more intense, invading the surroundings all the time. It would be really uncomfortable if he didn't use his strength to resist it. Even so, Lan Zeliang still felt a chill entering his body and could not bear it. I couldn't help but shiver.
"Junior Brother Lan, are you okay?" Jiang Yi turned around and asked.
Lan Zeliang smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay for the time being, don't worry."
"Then be careful. If you can't stand it, just swallow a spirit-gathering pill and a qi-blood pill. It should be able to resist the invasion of ghost energy and evil spirits." Jiang Yi reminded again.
Lan Zedian nodded, and everyone continued to move forward.
Yi Yuan was very relaxed. As soon as the ghost energy and evil spirit came into contact with the body surface, it was absorbed and refined. He had a panoramic view of everyone's condition. He stretched out his spiritual thoughts as much as possible, and every detail was visible within a hundred meters; there were many strange rocks on both sides of the path. Instead of weeds, a Cave Grass appeared dozens of meters away. It seemed to be at least a thousand years old. He walked straight over, and Shangguan Xue and Hu Dali followed naturally.
Seeing that Yi Yuan and the others were about to disappear from sight, Lu Yunfeng shouted: "Yi Yuan, what are you doing?"
Yi Yuan heard the words and replied: "I found a cave grass here, the age is not bad."
"Be careful." Lu Yunfeng warned casually and ignored Yi Yuan. Another branch of road appeared in front of him. He took the lead and walked at the front. Yi Yuan's luck was really good. This time he thought he should try his luck. .
The stone house that appeared in front of him was as dilapidated as ever. Lu Yunfeng blew away the dust on the door knocker. After a while, he opened the stone door and took a few steps back. When the musty smell inside had dissipated, he stepped into the stone house and stood there. Under the dim light of the moon stone, the stone table that came into view was covered with dust. He sniffed, used the dust-removing technique with his hands, and cleaned the entire interior of the stone house before everyone followed in.
In the stone house, except for the dead bones scattered on the stone bed and the iron chains hanging, everything else was worthless. Everyone stared at the dead bones and iron chains with hot eyes. After a moment, Lu Yunfeng suddenly shouted: "Why don't you show up yet? "
Everyone was confused, they really didn't notice anything strange.
After a while, Lu Yunfeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the withered bones had not moved. He waved the real fire with his fingertips and shouted again: "You are hiding in the withered bones, do you think we can't find it? If you don't come out, I will set off the torch." You burn to ashes."
This time, a puff of black smoke emerged from the pile of dead bones and slowly gathered into a human shape. Lu Yunfeng let out a long breath. Fortunately, he had deceived the other party, otherwise there would be no room for his old face.
"Junior, with your cultivation and spiritual awareness, you should not be able to detect me." The figure formed by the black smoke had a look of confusion on his face.
Lu Yunfeng said calmly: "Senior, since I entered the stone house, I have noticed something abnormal about the withered bones, otherwise I would not have revealed your hiding place."
"Oh! Is that so? But I'm hiding very well. With the strength of juniors like you, you still can't discover my existence." The black figure still had doubts in his heart.
Little did he know that Lu Yunfeng and his party had already encountered the same situation before, so based on reasoning, they managed to trick him out.
"However, it is indeed remarkable that you can find this place. The secret place of the Ghost Hidden Sect, where the quiet spring is, and where the Resurrection Grass grows." The black figure said to himself.
When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed. They had found the land of Youquan that had been rumored for tens of thousands of years. Isn't the Resurrection Grass easily accessible?
"Senior, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? This junior is willing to do it for you." Chen Hao, who was standing behind everyone, suddenly said.
The black figure stared at Chen Hao with blurred eyes for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "You can't give me what I want."
When Chen Hao heard this, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Senior, you have been living here for many years, so you must be very familiar with this secret realm. Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you."
"You are an interesting person. If you want to get the information you want from me, what price can you pay?" The black figure sneered.
Chen Hao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he continued to ask, pretending not to understand: "Senior, we are disciples of the Shangqing Sect. As long as senior informs us of the detailed information about this place, feel free to tell us any orders you have?"
"Haha! You, a junior, have the courage, but you only tell half of the conditions, and your ability to talk nonsense is better than your own. If you were in my heyday, hehe..." the black figure said leisurely.
"Senior, the Guiyin Sect has been destroyed for a long time. What are your plans?" Lu Yunfeng suddenly asked.
The black figure was obviously stunned. He showed up today and realized that he didn't have much time. Someone happened to break into this place. He also wanted to meet everyone, but he didn't know what he had planned. Time Tens of thousands of years have passed, and his family and friends are probably long gone. Looking back on this life, since he embarked on the path of spiritual practice, he has rarely contacted his family, walked alone, ended up in jail, and almost lost his soul. , is it worth it to end up alone and live the rest of your life?
Mortals live for hundreds of years from birth to death, marrying wives and having children, busy, getting old, sick and dying, but they can live in peace and have descendants everywhere; the road to spiritual practice is endless, but it is dangerous every step, fighting with heaven, and fighting with others. People fight, fight with monsters, and there is a possibility of death at any time, but monks can survive forever.
Comparing the two, the black figure will eventually choose to embark on the path of cultivation. This is the most true feeling in his heart.
Now facing the questions raised by Lu Yunfeng, memories from the past emerged in his mind. In his life, there were youthful moments, regrets, joys, hesitations, loneliness, losses, and satisfactions. , I also had regrets... Looking back, everything disappeared like fireworks, leaving no trace.
I don't know how long it took, but the black figure let out a long sigh and said lonely: "Take me out and let me take another look at the scenery outside. That's when I go back."
Lu Yunfeng was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, and the black figure turned into smoke again, and went back into his skull. Lu Yunfeng packed all his bones into a package, and carried it on his shoulders.
Chen Hao's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Uncle Lu, you are so defenseless. If he suddenly attacks you from behind, you will be hard to guard against."
"It doesn't matter, senior is not such a person." Lu Yunfeng said categorically, and then he tore off the two iron chains hanging on the stone wall. As expected, the whole body was still made of deep sea cold iron. After putting it away with a happy face, he He continued: "When we encounter a stone house next time, everyone will take turns to explore it."
After everyone heard this, no one objected. There was nothing worth noting in the stone house. Everyone left the stone house one by one and returned to the path. Yi Yuan and the others were still not found, and no one took the initiative to mention it. They went straight along the path. move on.
Yi Yuan was relatively happy at the moment. In this dark secret realm, he found many spiritual herbs that were tens of thousands of years old. Among them, most of them were Ghost Cut Grass and Cave Ming Grass. These spiritual herbs have special functions, are relatively rare, and are of little value. Fei, for a while, he didn't look for his uncle Lu Yunfeng and the others. Together with Shangguan Xue and Hu Dali, he walked up the hillside of the secret realm.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a trace of hazy light in the secret space, and the range visible to the naked eye also expanded a lot. Yi Yuan's eyes inadvertently scanned a stone forest area, and strange-shaped stones piled up in a large area, which could not be seen at a glance. Next to it, I could vaguely hear the sound of running water, and as I walked closer, a strong sinister aura hit my face.
Shangguan Xue only felt a little cold all over her body, and couldn't help but get close to Yi Yuan. After being held by Yi Yuan's hand, a warm breath instantly enveloped her, blocking the invasion of evil spirits. Her beautiful eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Something.
Facing the invasion of Yin evil spirit, Hu Dali was so happy that he almost cheered and sucked greedily. Since accepting the White Tiger's inheritance in the mysterious realm of witchcraft, it has a lot of demand for evil spirit. Unfortunately, it is rare to see it. If It's possible that it really wants to use this place to practice cultivation, but it knows in its heart that this is unrealistic. It can only stay here for a few days at most, so it tried its best to persuade Yi Yuan: "There is something strange in this stone forest, maybe there is a treasure hidden, How about we go in and search?"
Yi Yuan nodded immediately. He also had the same intention and understood Hu Dali's thoughts. Without telling him, he took Shangguan Xue's hand and walked into the stone forest.
In the stone forest, stones of different sizes showed various strange shapes, and were inserted into the ground one by one without any rules. The deeper they went, the stronger the evil aura became, and even faint whimpering sounds were heard. Yi Yuan slowed down. Footsteps, ears listening, eyes looking around in the stone forest.
Not long after, the whimpering sounds in the stone forest became more and more intense, attacking Yi Yuan and the others from all directions; Yi Yuan put up a shield to protect Shangguan Xue, and there was no danger for the time being.
"This is ghost energy mixed with evil energy. The sound made by passing through these strange stones has the effect of frightening people and disturbing the soul." Shangguan Xue explained the mystery in one sentence.
Whether it is ghost energy or evil energy, for Yi Yuan, who possesses the "Five Elements of Gods and Demons", it can be refined and integrated into his body; he carefully observed the position of the strange rocks and heard the occasional tinkling sound of running water in his ears. , guiding him to keep getting closer.
After walking some distance, several unknown spiritual grasses appeared on the ground. They could grow here. Yi Yuan was also very curious. He stretched out his hand and pulled out one. The ghostly aura was intertwined with it, but it was harmful to the monks. He thought for a moment and picked them all, maybe they would be of special use in the future.
After walking some distance further, the sound of running water was clearly audible, but Yi Yuan's brows furrowed. He clearly sensed that an unknown creature was approaching.
After a moment, several invisible objects appeared, hovering around Yi Yuan and the others. Accompanied by the soul-catching sound of sinister ghost energy, Shangguan Xue observed intently and said: "This is a ghostly thing that loves to devour people's souls." , it’s impossible to guard against it.”
Yi Yuan nodded. These ghosts were just lingering around. They probably appeared after sensing someone breaking into the place. They should have chosen people to devour, but they were blocked by the shield.
All of a sudden, the ghost's sharp soul-robbing sound sounded. After a while, waves of sharp whistles came over. Yi Yuan frowned and said: "It's too noisy." After that, he stretched out his right hand, and a ball of fire appeared in front of him. With his fingertips, he waved it out gently, turning into more than ten rays of fire, which went straight towards the ghost.
However, the surrounding ghosts could not escape and were burned. There was a squeaking sound of grinding teeth and melted directly into the air. Yi Yuan withdrew the firelight and still focused on his fingertips. Facing the overwhelming ghosts, Without much hesitation, he squeezed the magic formula, and the fire light turned into thousands of blocks in front of him. He allowed the ghosts to attack, but was burned and devoured mercilessly by the fire light.
The Five Elements True Fire, which is fused with the power of thunder, is the nemesis of the ghostly things. It spreads out like a spark of fire that sets off a prairie fire. All the ghosts that touch it are spared and are burned to ashes.
When Hu Dali saw this, he was unwilling to be alone and breathed out a mouthful of real fire, killing the ghosts. Although the effect was gratifying, it was a bit far behind Yi Yuan's sky-filled fire. It didn't take it seriously and instead swallowed the air. substances remaining in it.
The "Five Elements of Gods and Demons Sutra" in Yi Yuan's body was also rapidly refining the remaining ghosts in the air. After absorbing it, it could increase the power of the soul. This was an unexpected gain. He waved harder. The real fire at the fingertips, thousands of flames, are like fireflies, constantly hunting for the ghosts.
Shangguan Xue was also reminded by Yi Yuan, and began to use the magical power to swallow the breath. After being calcined by Yi Yuan's Five Elements True Fire, the remaining material of the ghost was very pure and easy to refine, and the two of them fell into it. ,ecstatic.
