Chapter 17: The Dead, the Living Soul

Why did Guo Yi appear in the country of Hase? This is also the question he wants to ask now.

He remembered that he had already gained the upper hand in the battle with Yan Que at that time, and stabbed a finger at Yan Que's eyebrows, and suddenly there was a throbbing in the dantian, and his body paused for a moment, and at this critical moment, the immortal gate was actually opened, and he was about to break through the realm. Yan Que also seized Guo Yi's gap and stabbed two short swords into his abdomen, but what he didn't expect was that they happened to stab Guo Yi's two immortal cultivation gates.

At that time, Guo Yi lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he had already appeared in the royal city of Changgu Kingdom. What made him speechless the most was that the ban hanging on his chest was actually gone.

"There must have been a thief. ”

Guo Yi got up from the side of the road and found that except for the forbidden ban, all the valuable things on his body had disappeared, and even the "Nine Transformations Xuanhuo Technique" given to him by Ji Youran was nowhere to be found.

"thief, if you are caught by me, see if I don't steal you, Lao Tzu won't even leave you a piece of clothes, it's best to steal your underwear as well......" Guo Yi scolded bitterly while walking into the King of Changgu.

This is a mortal city, there is no existence of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it is difficult to see even the Martial Saint on the street, Guo Yi saw that the strongest person is the eighth layer of the Great Martial Scripture, this person is still a generation of grandmasters in the royal city.

After inquiring, Guo Yi learned that this place was 90,000 miles away from the Forbidden City, and even if he rode an iron-hoofed war beast, he would have to run for nine days to go back, and immediately scolded him, "Damn thief, forget about stealing the forbidden city, and steal Lao Tzu to 90,000 miles away." ”

Guo Yi has now opened the door of cultivating immortals, and he feels that there is a trace of spiritual energy flowing in his body, but it cannot exist for a long time, and the spiritual energy has circled outside the immortal gate, and then it disappears, and he can't step over.

Only by crossing the gate of cultivating immortals can we truly embark on the road of cultivating immortals, this level is also the most difficult level, the vast majority of people are blocked out of the door of cultivating immortals, and many masters of "Martial List" are trapped here for the rest of their lives, and there is no hope of cultivating immortals for the rest of their lives.

"How can there be two gates for cultivating immortals? Can I embark on two different paths for cultivating immortals, or should I choose one of them?"

Guo Yi was puzzled, and finally decided to return to the Forbidden City to ask Ji Youran, maybe she would know more.

Guo Yi suddenly thought of one thing, "Aren't the two brothers and sisters Li Yuan and Li Xiaoyan the side children of a big family in the country of Changgu, five years ago, the two brothers and sisters had a low cultivation level and were bullied in the family, so they went to the Forbidden City, and now they have the cultivation of a martial saint, why are they afraid of returning to the family?"

"Could it be that this Li family still has any secrets that even the Martial Saint is afraid of?" Guo Yi was very curious and wanted to find out.

The Changgu Royal City is not big, Guo Yi soon found out the relevant information, it turned out that there was really a big family surnamed Li, and the head of the family was the Taishi of the Changgu Kingdom.

An old man said to Guo Yi: "Taishi Li is an immortal of the Changgu Kingdom, he has lived for more than three hundred years, and his children have been passed down to the ninth generation, and the entire family has a population of tens of thousands. ”

"The family population is tens of thousands, and it is really a big family, this Taishi Li seems to be at least a spirit who has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. ”

Guo Yi now understands why Li Xiaoyan's brothers and sisters still dare not go home after cultivating into martial saints, but what made them leave home angrily?

The old man said to Guo Yi mysteriously: "I heard that last night Taishi Li's mansion was haunted, and a female ghost almost scared Mrs. Eighth Lady crazy. ”

Guo Yi never believed that there were ghosts in this world, and asked, "Who is Mrs. Batai?"

"She was the eighth wife of Master Li, and she also lived for more than two hundred years. The old man said.

"What!" Guo Yi was a little surprised this time, it stands to reason that in a small place like Changgu Country, it is quite remarkable to have a spirit, and now there is a second one, and the secret path is that this Li family or the family of cultivating immortals is not possible?

A spirit man was almost frightened crazy by a female ghost, which revealed a lot of weirdness.

Guo Yi originally asked the old man for directions, but he inadvertently got this information, and wanted to give the old man some compensation, but found that he was useless at this time.

The old man suddenly pulled Guo Yi to point to a young man in the middle of the street, and said, "That young man is the son-in-law of Mrs. Batai." ”

Guo Yi squinted his eyes, looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a young man who was somewhat similar to Li Yuanchang, at this time the young man was worried, and his mouth kept reading something, as if he had also met a ghost last night, and his expression was in a trance, as if he had hit an evil spirit.

After Guo Yi thanked the old man, he followed, and the young man kept chanting along the way: "Sister Xiaoyan is back to ask for her life, everyone is going to die in this family......"

Guo Yi frowned when he heard this, who is the sister Xiaoyan he said? Could it be Li Xiaoyan?

Guo Yi followed the boy all the way to a huge mansion, and a huge plaque on the gold-lacquered gate read three square characters "Taishi Mansion".

The entire gate of the Taishi Mansion was closed, and the huge knocker seemed to be stained with blood, and as soon as he walked into the Taishi, he could smell a strong smell of blood.

The young man pushed open the door and walked into the Taishi Mansion, Guo Yi was thinking about whether to follow up, and at this moment, a terrible ghost cry came from the mansion, as if there were countless unjust souls crying inside.

"Bang!"

The young man who had just entered slammed open the door and escaped, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were about to bulge out in fright, and he knelt down and cried: "Sister Xiaoyan spares her life, it was your mother who killed you, it's none of my business......"

"Boom!"

Before the boy could finish crying, corpses flew out of the gate, and there was not a single wound on these corpses, but each corpse had a face with extreme fear, and each of them was frightened to death, and they did not know what terrible things they had seen before they died.

Hundreds of corpses were being thrown out of the mansion, even though it was still daytime, and people felt numb all over their bodies, and they wanted to leave this place immediately.

Guo Yi was also shocked by the things in front of him, stepped forward to help the young man who was about to go crazy, and asked, "Who is Sister Xiaoyan you are talking about?"

"Ah......h

"Could it be that the little smoke is really in there. ”

Guo Yi followed up with doubts, but as soon as he stepped into the Taishi Mansion, he was startled by the scene in front of him, the ground was full of dead people, there was no wound on his body, just like the people outside, everyone was scared to death, and the young man didn't know where to go.

There was a creepy cry from the depths of the mansion, and the cry was very poignant and chilling.

Guo Yi held his breath, tried to control his emotions, and walked through the corridor in the direction of the cry, the road was full of corpses, he didn't want to count the number of these corpses anymore, because there were too many, and he couldn't count them.

Passing through the three-story courtyard, Guo Yi came to a low stone house, which was quite remote, incompatible with the magnificence of the entire mansion, and he could feel a biting chill from a distance.

The two corpses in front of the stone house were nailed to the wall, a white-bearded old man and a middle-aged beautiful woman, both of them were dressed very luxuriously, and there was a trace of rhyme in their skins.

At this time, the two corpses were still a little warm, and it seemed that they had just died, and these two people were Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ba.

"Even the spirits died here, what kind of terrifying existence did they provoke?"

I saw that the young man who began to disappear was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, kowtowing to the stone house continuously, his forehead had been shattered, and he still had words in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.

What secrets are hidden in this stone chamber?

I thought that the young man had gone crazy, but just when Guo Yi wanted to step into the stone room to find out, he shouted, "You can't go in." ”

Guo Yi said: "Why?"

The young man's eyes were full of fear and he said, "Because there is a corpse inside, and the soul of that corpse has turned into a ghost." ”

"Whose corpse?" Guo Yi asked.

The boy said, "My half-sister." ”

"Sister Xiaoyan?" Guo Yi took the young man in his hand, pushed open the stone door, and stepped in. It was a large ice cellar, and it was rather dim, with only a faint light faintly illuminating.

The ice cellar is divided into three levels, and the further down you go, the colder it gets, and you can occasionally hear the sound of tinkling water droplets. When it reached the third layer, it had become extremely cold, even if Guo Yi's body now felt frozen and painful, the young man who was carried by him was even more trembling, and his face was covered with a layer of frost.

The young man said intermittently: "Five...... Five years ago, my mother ...... killed Xiaoyan's sister, because ...... Because she was afraid of being known, she stored her body in the lowest ice cave. ”

Guo Yi didn't believe the young man's words, because he had only met Li Xiaoyan not long ago, how could he have died here five years ago.

But when he walked to the third ice cellar and saw the body of the little girl lying in the ice, his head exploded with a bang, and his whole body almost hit the ground without obeying the call.

This is a pale corpse, although it is still quite young, but Guo Yi is sure that this corpse and Li Xiaoyan must be the same person, because the two not only look too similar, but also the breath on their bodies is also the same.

"Li Xiaoyan's body was parked here five years ago, so who is Li Xiaoyan I saw? No, they are the same person......

"Could it be that all I see are her ghosts?" Guo Yi suddenly felt that his brain was in chaos, and a cold air was cold to his spine.

Guo Yi asked, "So does Li Yuan know that her sister is dead?"

"I don't know, the whole incident is only known to me and my mother. The young man wondered why Guo Yi was more frightened than him, and continued: "Five years ago, the day after Xiaoyan's sister died, Li Yuan also disappeared. ”

"What happened five years ago? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Suddenly, Guo Yi felt a dark shadow flashing behind him, and he turned his head to look but found nothing. Guo Yi turned to look at the ice cave, but found that Li Xiaoyan's body had suddenly disappeared, and it only took a moment to turn around and disappear from under Guo Yi's nose.

There is only one door in the entire ice cellar, and it has always been in Guo Yi's sight, where did the corpse go? Could it be that the corpse walked out by itself?

Guo Yi was puzzled and asked the young man, "Did you see anything just now?" ”

The young man didn't answer a word, he was already dead, his eyes bulging outward, his pupils were extremely dilated, his mouth was wide open, and the skin on his face was tightly tied, and he was actually scared to death.

"What a terrible thing he saw at that moment?"

Guo Yi put the young man's body into the ice cellar, and the shadow of Li Xiaoyan kept in his mind, and his heart was full of doubts, "Is the woman who has been with me for so long really just a female ghost?"

Guo Yi walked out of the Taishi Mansion without reluctance, and did not find the black-clothed figure standing on the stone roof of the mansion, at this time the black figure took one last look at him, and then his body became illusory, turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into the air.

Guo Yi walked out of the Taishi Mansion, the sky was completely dark, the sunset dusk looked particularly bleak, and the pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce.

Through the towering and cold city walls, you can see the flame-like clouds in the sky, in which an ancient chariot is pulled by a strange bird with a whole body in flames, and rolls towards it.

A melodious flute sounded on the ancient car, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, floating in the red sunset afterglow. The sound of the flute exudes an infinite killing aura, like a swordsman about to pull out the sword in his hand and pierce the heart of the enemy.

Guo Yi looked at the ancient car and whispered: "It's so murderous, I don't know who is going to be unlucky." ”
