Looking for the Ghost King
There was a look of astonishment on the faces of the three people.
Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, why are you looking for the Ghost King? Do you want to fight it?"
Yue Yao did not answer.
Wanyan Zi looked at her doubtfully and continued to lead the way.
"Senior sister, I advise you not to be impulsive."
Xiaoyue hurriedly persuaded.
"The Ghost King is immortal in the netherworld, and he has a huge army of ghost soldiers behind him. I don't want to die with you."
The four of them passed through the tombs and came to the ink-black river.
Wanyan Zi said: "We need an iron product to cross the river. We can't fly on the river surface, and we can't walk on the water, otherwise we will be swallowed. There are many ghosts and evil spirits at the bottom of the river, so everyone should be careful."
After saying that, she took out an ordinary black iron flying sword and threw it into the water.
The flying sword fell into the water, but there was not even a ripple in the water.
The flying sword just floated above, motionless.
Wanyan Zi leaped lightly and jumped up, stepped on it with her toes, and with a movement of her soul power, the flying sword carried her forward.
She turned her head and looked at the three people on the shore and said, "This is the only way to cross the river. Some people tried to cross the river with wooden boats and other treasures before, but they were sucked in directly."
Luo Qingzhou thought about it.
There seems to be a large piece of black iron in the storage ring, which was picked up from the Black Wood Forest.
He immediately took it out and threw it into the water.
The heavy black iron, as big as half a brick, floated motionlessly on the water as soon as it fell into the water, looking extremely strange.
Luo Qingzhou was secretly surprised and jumped up carefully.
He leaned on the iron with his toes and stood firmly on it.
What was even more bizarre was that when he jumped on it, the piece of black iron didn't show any signs of sinking or being stressed.
Xiaoyue took out a black iron spear, threw it into the water, and jumped on it. She stood on tiptoe, lifted the hem of her skirt, and spun gracefully on it, saying with a smile, "It's fun."
Yue Yao threw out an iron sword, which landed lightly on the ground.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the sword at her feet, secretly curious, how could Sister Yue have an iron sword? Could it be that Sister Yue used it before
"Brother, are you peeking at Senior Sister's feet?"
At this time, Xiaoyue next to him suddenly spoke.
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze, glanced at her, and said, "I'm looking at the sword."
Xiaoyue snorted and muttered, "You're obviously looking at my feet, but aren't my feet pretty?"
Just as the four of them reached the middle of the river, the entire surface of the river suddenly began to boil with a gurgling sound.
Then, a number of bony hands and claws stretched out from the water.
At the same time, hideous faces emerged from the water, staring at them with their scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes.
"quick!"
Wanyan Zi immediately sped up.
Just as those bony claws were about to grab them, they suddenly all froze into ice and froze in place.
The four of them quickly reached shore.
At this time, the ice on the white bone claws melted away.
On the surface of the river, those hideous faces were all smiling grimly, but there was deathly silence, which was creepy.
"Let's go."
Wanyan Zi did not dare to stay and immediately rushed forward.
The three followed behind.
Not long after, a noisy sound suddenly appeared in front.
When they got closer, they discovered that this was actually a bustling market town.
The vendors were shouting, the pedestrians were chatting, the horse-drawn carriages were rumbling by, and the cattle drivers were waving whips, hitting the cattle's butts with crackling sounds.
There were old people, children, men, women, cattle, horses, chickens, ducks, and a wide variety of goods.
It looks like a real market town.
But there was a faint black mist floating in the entire market town.
And those people's faces were abnormally pale.
They were laughing, talking, shouting, and cursing, but there was no smell of life about them.
"These are the people who died and the things that disappeared due to normal causes such as illness, premature death, and aging."
Yue Yao whispered.
"They keep repeating what happened before they died, thinking they are still alive, and their relatives who are still alive, they think they are dead, and they even burn paper and worship them..."
"We thought they were ghosts, and they thought we were ghosts..."
Luo Qingzhou was shocked.
Wanyan Zi whispered, "Go to the side. Master said that we can't disturb these people. Just like ghosts in the human world, we can't disturb humans casually."
Xiaoyue asked curiously, "These ghosts look like humans, but what about the evil ghosts? Why do they become so scary and ferocious?"
Wanyan Zi explained: "Those are people who died abnormally. Some were framed to death, murdered, died suddenly, etc. When they died, they had fear, resentment, despair and other emotions in their hearts, and then they turned into evil ghosts, evil ghosts, and they were bent on harming people and doing evil..."
Xiaoyue suddenly looked at her warily and asked, "How do you know so much? Which sect are you from?"
Wanyan Zi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a sect. My master is a casual cultivator, and I am also a casual cultivator. I followed my master to travel around the world and all over the Kyushu continent, so I know more..."
Not long.
A mountain range shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared ahead.
As soon as the four arrived at the foot of the mountain, they encountered several evil spirits who were wolfing down a wild beast.
Upon seeing the four people, the evil ghosts immediately pounced on them with bared fangs and claws.
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to throw a punch, those evil ghosts seemed to smell something and suddenly turned around and fled, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Wanyan Zi's face was full of surprise.
Xiaoyue raised the Fire Moon Spear in her hand and said proudly: "It must be because of my powerful aura that frightened it."
Wanyan Zi's gaze turned to the Yuebai figure beside her.
The four of them followed the path and climbed up the mountain.
Although it cannot fly, the soul can still move very quickly.
Soon, they reached the top of the mountain.
On the top of the peak, there appeared many tall palaces, as magnificent as an imperial palace, but there was still black mist floating in it.
There were many figures walking around inside.
In a huge square, hundreds of people were practicing swordsmanship in unison.
Wanyan Zi whispered, "My master and I came here. My master said there are many treasures here, but we were discovered after only a short while. There is a mountain protection formation here, and there are many masters and a spirit beast inside. It seems like a sect..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly found that Sister Yue stopped where she was and looked up.
He immediately walked over, stood with her, and looked up.
A plaque appeared on it.
There are several characters written in a flamboyant style on the plaque...
He doesn't know.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaoyue also hurried over, raised her head, looked curiously, and asked, "What's written?"
Wanyan Zi came over and said, "Master said it is a very ancient writing system, what is it called..."
"Mayin language."
Yue Yao said indifferently.
Wanyan Zi's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Yes, yes, it's Mayinyu!"
Then he looked at her suspiciously and asked, "How do you know?"
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Sister Yue, what is written on it?"
Yue Yao looked towards the majestic palace inside, her eyes flickering as she said, "Xuanyuan Gate."
"Xuanyuanmen?"
Luo Qingzhou asked doubtfully: "Is it a certain cultivation sect?"
Yue Yao said calmly, "It was a sect in Tianshan country in ancient times that specialized in swordsmanship."
She retracted her gaze, looked at him and said, "The location where Tianshan Kingdom used to be is now north of the Great Mongol Empire, where Beiming Kingdom is located."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyue was shocked and asked, "Senior Sister, are you saying that what we see here now are all shadows left over from the ancient times?"
Yue Yao turned around, looked into the distance, and said, "Maybe it's not just a simple shadow."
Xiaoyue continued to ask.
She suddenly walked down the mountain and said, "Let's go."
The three of them were stunned.
Wanyan Zi asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to look for the treasure?"
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly followed and whispered: "Sister Yue, since this is a sect from ancient times, perhaps there are exercises I can practice in it."
Yue Yao looked at the distance below the mountain and said calmly, "There is a Ziyang Temple on Ziyang Mountain, a thousand miles east of Xuanyuan Gate. It is known as a Taoist holy place in ancient times. The skills there are suitable for you. And..."
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while and asked curiously: "Sister Yue, and what?"
Yue Yao turned her head, looked at him and said, "And your Tao Te Ching and other scriptures should be of great use there. That is where the real treasure is, whether it is the skills or the treasures... You can also practice there, and perhaps you will gain something unexpected."
Luo Qingzhou was moved when he heard this, and asked, "Really?"
Yue Yao locked eyes with him for a few seconds and said, "It's fake."
After saying that, he walked quickly down the mountain.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed and said, "What Sister Yue said is of course true."
Then he said hopefully, "I don't ask for any treasures, as long as I can get a technique, I will be satisfied."
At this moment, Xiaoyue suddenly caught up with him from behind and asked, "Brother, what were you whispering to Senior Sister about?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Nothing."
Xiaoyue snorted coldly and said angrily: "Everyone heard it. You were secretly saying sweet words to Senior Sister. You said you didn't ask for other women's feet, as long as you could get Senior Sister's feet, you would be satisfied, right?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
