Bai Xiu followed the strange team towards the lower reaches of the Suling River.

These "people", old and young, men and women, all stared blankly ahead, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.

And the previous points of light also revealed their true colors—they were bronze oil lamps one after another.

These bronze lamps were extremely small and delicate, about an inch high, no larger than a coin, and they contained nothing but a faint glow.

Each of them had such a light on their shoulders, and it was far away, and the people were obscured by the thick fog, but this light could not be blocked, which made the whole team look like a point of light moving slowly.

It was at this time that Bai Xiu finally remembered what these lights were.

They are called "Soul Listening Lamps".

Even if a soul does not return to the human world, in the process of countless reincarnations, his life soul power will gradually die.

Otherwise, the old soul will not die, and the new soul will be formed again, and there will be no place for thousands of living beings in the world for a long time.

Of course, this process is much longer than going back to the human world.

Every soul has a soul lamp, and when the oil runs out of the lamp, it is the moment when the soul power is exhausted and returns to heaven and earth.

It is the purpose of a practitioner to constantly break through oneself, and wait for the day when one steps through the void and sacrifices oneself to become a spirit, so that one can travel the world and be immortal.

That's another realm.

After the Great Tribulation of the Worlds, the Heavenly Realm retreated, the cultivation declined, and even the methods of internal cultivation have been dispersed, and it is not easy to achieve this realm.

The last cultivator Bai Xiu knew of had ascended to success was Bai Xingyi, which was also thousands of years ago, and now these have long been legends.

Bai Xiu was thinking wildly, and this silent team showed no signs of stopping, only the dense fog on the riverbank seemed to have lightened a lot.

He looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds covering the moon and the night sky falling—which probably did not bode well.

His eyes hurt again, not because of the stimulation of the light, but because the ghost aura around him was getting stronger and stronger.

This made Bai Xiu feel at ease, it seemed that the land of listening to souls was not far away, maybe he had already set foot on the territory of the master of the land of listening to souls, the ghost king Si Ming.

"Jingle bell—" The brass bell at the head of the team rang again, this time seven times in a row.

As if echoing the brass bell, the fog suddenly dispersed.

The front suddenly opened up, but to Bai Xiu's surprise, there was an extremely tall city gate standing there at some point.

The gate was pitch black, thirty meters high, towering majestically, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

It seems that in front of it, whether it is a person or other living beings, no matter how stubborn they are, they are just a group of mayflies and ants.

It wasn't until there was a tingling pain in his eyes that Bai Xiu barely recovered from the shock.

And just then, the brass bell rang again.

With the sound of the bell, the huge city gates opened silently.

That's right, there was no sound around, as if a shocking pantomime was playing out before his eyes.

Before long, the two huge gates were completely opened, and the procession began to march towards the gates.

Bai Xiu hurriedly followed.

The moment he crossed the city gate, he seemed to have come to another world.

The lights in front of him are brilliant and the figures are crowded, and it is even more lively than the outer town of Hongmeng.

He couldn't help but turn around, there were many shops and pedestrians behind him, and there was no city gate.

It vanished in the blink of an eye, along with the silent team, as if it had never existed.

"What's going on......" He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, trying to figure it out, but it was obviously not enough.

Encountering such a strange thing, he was as calm as he lost his direction for a while.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly noticed something unusual, as if someone was hiding in the dark and staring at him.

Bai Xiu walked a few steps quietly, his eyes followed him like a shadow, and he didn't know where the other party was sacred and what his purpose was.

Fortunately, the man did not seem to have malicious intent, so he decided to inquire about what the hell this place was.

However, as soon as he turned around, a chill crept up into his heart for no apparent reason.

As soon as he looked for it, a cold sweat broke out—it was so quiet, and there was no sound at all in this street that looked extremely bustling!

He finally came back to his senses, and secretly thought, in fact, he should have noticed it a long time ago, but he had followed the team all the way before, and he was used to the silence around him, and he didn't react when he suddenly came here.

That is to say-

The "people" here are all ......

Bai Xiu glanced around, and suddenly felt that his scalp was numb.

Fortunately, they didn't notice him, but each of them did their own thing, except that there was no sound, and they looked like ordinary people.

But this is not a place to stay for a long time after all, Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retreat outside the city, but unfortunately at this moment, a little spiritual light flashed again.

It still doesn't seem right-

As soon as he thought about it, he blocked the middle of the road, but the "people" did not react and went straight through his body.

Bai Xiu couldn't help but suddenly think, it seems that it is right, these "people" are not so-called ghosts, but they do not exist at all!

At this moment, he had the answer in his heart, I am afraid that this place is an illusion.

His mind was racing, remembering the gaze before, he simply clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Since Your Excellency wants to make a friend, why don't you show up and see him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter above his head, and a voice said coldly: "Hehe, the person who opened the ghost eye really deserves his reputation, and the phantom array of the old clock and me is still not hot enough!"

Before the man's words fell, there was already a change in Bai Xiu's eyes.

The bustling streets and pedestrians of all colors seem to be washed by water, and gradually mottled away, and it will not take long for them to completely dissipate.

Bai Xiu's eyes flickered, and when he looked again, he saw a young man standing not far away, staring at him with a strange expression.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, his appearance was very ordinary, but his outfit was very strange, he was actually wearing a snow-white robe, with long hair tied.

Bai Xiu didn't rush to speak, but looked around without a trace.

In front of me was still the bluestone road, the Suling River on the side of the road flowed quietly, and the huge city gate stood in the distance, but the two huge gates had been closed.

He couldn't help but be in a trance, and for a while he couldn't tell whether his previous experience was true or false.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the man immediately sneered again and said, "You are quite calm, why, you are not curious about who I am?"

Bai Xiu couldn't figure out this person's purpose for a while, so he had to follow his words and say, "I want to hear about it." ”

The man instantly changed his expression, and said abruptly: "I am Zhong Ming, and I can be regarded as the manager of Ghost King City." ”

"Ghost King City?" Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but glance at the huge city gate, and asked, "Your Excellency is saying that this is already a place to listen to souls?"

"That's right, this is already a place to listen to souls. Zhong Ming nodded.

He still had that strange expression on his face, and after a change of words, he said, "Okay, I've already reported home, and now it's your turn." You ghost eye owner must have some ability, and it seems that you are determined to achieve it this time.

However, I still advise you to die early, as long as the ghost king is not old and confused, he will never give it to your Ming family. Then again, you haven't shown up for so many years, and I'm really dead when you're all dead!"

Bai Xiu listened quietly, but the thoughts in his mind were racing quickly.

Could it be that the Ming family practiced spiritism and even did not hesitate to make ghost eyes to travel between the two worlds, but it was actually for something?

If the relationship between the Ming family and the Land of Listening to Souls is not as simple as it seems, then is the incident twenty years ago also related to this Ghost King City?

Bai Xiu thought about it, and already had a plan in his heart.

He pretended to smile deeply and said, "Whether you succeed or not, you have to try to know." ”

Zhong Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness that could not be concealed.

He stared at Bai Xiu for a few seconds, and then laughed loudly: "What guts! It's no wonder that you can cultivate ghost eyes, I really admire this courage and determination.

Since the Ming family is willing to let you come alone, then you should also be regarded as a person who can speak to the Ming family. I said ugly things earlier, the agreement of the year has now reached the deadline, whether it will be okay or not, this time it will be a decision, what do you think?"

Bai Xiu pondered hesitantly for a while, and then nodded as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, no matter what the result, this is the last time." ”

Zhong Ming smiled with satisfaction, hooked his hand at him, and said, "Then let's go, it's about to dawn, I don't want to leave you as a guest in the place of listening to souls in the future." ”

Seeing him turn around and leave, Bai Xiu hurriedly followed.

However, he still wondered in his heart, what was the agreement between the Ming family and the Ghost King City, and what did they want to get?

The bell walked quickly, and in a few moments they were again under the great city gate.

Bai Xiu was pondering how to open this door, when he saw the other party take out a fist-sized copper bell from his sleeve, and then shook it lightly.

This time when he was close, he clearly felt that a powerful force was pouring out of the copper bell!

Jingle Bell –

The ethereal bell rang again.

At the same time, the two huge gates opened silently.
