"For a body like me that can't even feel pain, it's a wonderful feeling of pain, hehehehe......"

With the hoarse laughter of the man in gray, the vertical and horizontal furrows on his face seemed to be about to tear apart, and the black lines that crossed the ravines collapsed tightly, and Lu Tao was very afraid that they would not collapse because of the actions of the man in gray, revealing something that Lu Tao should not see.

The laughter of the man in gray stopped abruptly, and a black light crashed into Lu Tao's body like thunder, not to mention that Lu Tao didn't react, even if he reacted, there was no way to avoid this black light.

As soon as the black light touched Lu Tao's body, it seemed to melt and sank into Lu Tao's body, and the next moment, Lu Tao felt that his meridians began to boil, and the spiritual power that was condensed in the meridians was like gunpowder ignited by sparks, burning hopelessly.

"Hmph......" Lu Tao snorted, and finally held back the painful cry in his throat and looked up at the man in gray.

The gray-clothed man looked at Lu Tao's appearance, looked at the sweat flowing down his sideburns on Lu Tao's head, and nodded with satisfaction: "Although he is a monk who is not very popular, his endurance is good, since he endured it, it will naturally be good for you in the end." ”

Lu Tao's ears roared constantly, and the words in the gray-clothed mouth came into Lu Tao's ears intermittently, listening to it as if it was mixed with a lot of noise, like a radio tuned in the wrong frequency band, and in the end, Lu Tao only heard the word "benefit", but he didn't know the context, and secretly scolded in his heart, if pain is the benefit that the gray-clothed man gave himself, then it is really better not to.

The burning pain that spread began to spread along the meridians towards Lu Tao's sea of qi and the location of his heart, Lu Tao resisted the burning pain in his body while watching the bursts of blackness in front of him, and he didn't know if he would faint directly after a while.

Fortunately, the burning pain contained in the body did not really spread to the position of the sea of qi and the heart, and with a slight touch, it disappeared, and as the burning pain in the body disappeared, Lu Tao couldn't help but feel relieved, he knelt on the ground, gasping non-stop, only to find that the sweat had soaked all the clothes, and the lips were also amazingly dry, as if all the water in the body had evaporated.

"Hahaha!

The gray-clothed man looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and instantly came to Lu Tao's side from ten meters away, Lu Tao didn't see how the gray-clothed man moved at all, and even left a faint afterimage in the gray-clothed man's original position, which disappeared after a long time.

Almost teleported to Lu Tao's side, the gray-clothed man reached out and clicked on Lu Tao's body a few times, Lu Tao only felt that a few points in his body were sealed by some wonderful power, and the aura outside was blocked from his body.

"I'm in a good mood today, I'll help you seal the trick for the time being, rest assured, the sealed trick will be automatically unlocked after you leave here, and the aura on Maoshan is not easy to absorb at will." The man in gray explained, and then reached out and patted Lu Tao, a wave of heat passed through Lu Tao's body, and Lu Tao's soaked clothes dried from the inside out.

When his body finally relaxed, Lu Tao stood up, not afraid of the face of the man in gray who was close at hand, and the strange smell emanating from him, and asked, "Who are you? What's going on here?"

The gray-clothed man's vertical pupils did not change in the slightest, he looked at Lu Tao, but his gaze seemed to penetrate Lu Tao's body, and continued to the distance that he could not see.

"Hehe, Maoshan Maoshan, if there were no ghosts, Maoshan would not be that Maoshan anymore. The man in gray grinned, as if he was laughing: "Those black things are ghosts, they belong to Maoshan ghosts, and all creatures that try to pass through Maoshan in vain will be turned into their own kind by them, and become the power to protect Maoshan." ”

Lu Tao looked back, as if he was responding to the words of the gray-clothed man, and the black mist that turned into a dome rolled up like ocean waves, rippling layer by layer, splashing circles of ripples.

"Actually, I'm also a ghost ...... guarding Maoshan Mountain"

The man in gray seemed to be saying something that was no longer ordinary, and casually said this sentence, but Lu Tao reflexively took a step back, it's not that he was afraid, he was scared before he was afraid, he was just taken aback by this sentence, no matter who he had, no matter how big his heart was, he would probably be startled when he suddenly heard someone standing in front of him and say, "Actually, I'm a ghost".

As for who he is, and what my name is, I can't tell his name here, and now I am just a crippled body, and I don't want anyone to know my real name...... Hahahaha! Don't you feel very confused? Very confused, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to speak, to tell you everything about Maoshan, but I figured it out, to tell you this, for no reason to increase the risk of exposure in front of him, maybe the first few failures, but also because of this reason to never return. If you had ......"

The man in gray said a lot to himself, to be honest, Lu Tao didn't understand a word, he had to look at the man in gray with an ignorant expression, hoping to hear one or two sentences that he could understand.

Listening to the meaning of the man in gray, it is probably that there were other people here in the past, so he was asked by the man in black to do some things, but they all failed?

Lu Tao took advantage of the moment when the man in gray paused, and asked directly, "So, what do you want me to do?"

The gray-clothed man glanced at Lu Tao with the only remaining eye, and nodded: "Yes, I have something for you to do." ”

Lu Tao hurriedly followed the words of the gray-clothed man and said, "I'm just a small Qi Refining Stage cultivator, if it's too complicated...... I'm afraid I can't!"

"Rest assured, it's not a complicated thing, even ordinary people can do it. ”

As he spoke, the man in gray took out a disc-shaped thing from his pocket and handed it to Lu Tao, who found that on the clothes worn by the man in gray, there were many large and small pockets, each of which was bulging, and he didn't know what was in it.

Lu Tao took the disc-shaped object handed over by the man in gray, and raised his eyes to look at the man in gray with some confusion: "What is this?"

The gray-clothed man stretched out his hand and clicked on the disc, only to see a green point of light appear in the center of the disc, the material of the disc seemed to be some kind of jade, just enough to be placed in the palm of his hand, the smooth and white jade surface, the green light spot stopped there quite conspicuously, and seemed to be rising and shrinking with Lu Tao's breathing.

"Do you see this point of light? In this world, the jade plate does not work, but when I send you out of this small world and return to the big world, the green point of light will indicate all the other jade, follow the direction of the point of light, collect all twelve pieces of jade, and your task will be completed, and at that time, I will fulfill your wish, a ...... The desire to meet the dead. ”

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, regardless of whether the jade disc in his hand was called a jade disc or not, the wish that the man in gray said was actually to meet the dead person? Lu Tao thought of his parents in an instant, and hurriedly asked, "It doesn't matter how long the person has been dead?"

The man in gray nodded: "Of course, you need to find the personal belongings of the person you want to see, and when the time comes, as long as you find all the twelve pieces of jade, I will appear in front of you and help you meet the person you meet." ”

Lu Tao nodded hesitantly and continued to ask, "Where did the dead go, why did you let me see them?"

"Hmph!" the man in gray snorted, and the only remaining eye narrowed: "It seems that you don't believe me? I can't tell you this, this is the foundation of my Maoshan faction, if you don't believe what I say, then return the jade plate to me! I will still send you out of this small world, you don't have to worry about anything!"

The momentum on the gray-clothed man rose suddenly, and a cold cold air slowly emerged from him, making Lu Tao's cold sweat instantly attached to a layer of frost, Lu Tao hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and took the jade plate back into his arms: "I did it! I just hope that you won't go back on your word when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, what I say has never disappointed, go, go back the way you came, and then go in the direction of the sun, turn right when you encounter the first fork in the road, turn left again, you can get out of here, if you want to leave this small world, you only need to inject spiritual power into this feather. ”

The man in gray took out a feather from one of the pockets on his body and handed it to Lu Tao, Lu Tao carefully took the feather and put it in his arms, and then looked up, the man in gray had disappeared, if it weren't for the extra jade plate and a feather in his arms, and the cold touch on his face, Lu Tao even suspected that the man in gray who had just appeared was just something he imagined.

Turned his head out of the main hall of the temple, and then turned back, even the main hall disappeared, the end of the stone steps was a thick black fog, shaking his head, Lu Tao continued to walk down the mountain, until he walked outside the archway that said Maoshan was written, and waited until the sun outside shone warmly on his body, Lu Tao exhaled deeply.

Sure enough, this gloomy Maoshan is really not suitable for you, or the bright sunshine outside is more suitable for you.

According to what the man in gray said, Lu Tao looked up at the sun, if I remember correctly, the sun above his head was in that position from before, whether it was Lu Tao walking here from the stone mountain, or Lu Tao had been on Maoshan for so long, the position of the sun had not changed at all, no wonder the man in gray wanted to say that he followed the sun.
