Chapter 12: The First Kick of the Ancient Tower

Seeing me take on a fighting stance, the Phantom Behemoth slowly stepped back on its thick limbs.

"Puff" Several black gases rose from the ground, and seven skeletons in silver armor and holding giant plate axes appeared in front of me, all of them majestic. Just as I looked at the big skeletons in confusion, one of the skeletons slashed down at my head with an axe, and I dodged sideways to dodge his deadly axe, and at the same time, the other six skeletons also began to swing their axes in turn, and the moment the axe hit the ground, it splattered a little spark.

"What a ghost tower, if I am hit, I will not die here!"

Seeing this, I rolled my hands into a fist, and two golden lights rushed out of my clenched fists, directly knocking the two skeleton ghosts to the ground, and the skeletons that were hit made a muffled click, and turned into two piles of white bones.

Looking at the skeleton that turned into white bones, I pursed my lips with some pride and sneered: "The guy who doesn't like it." ”

I took another leap of depth, using the remnant soul power in my body to reach my fingertips, and pointed out the remaining skeletons one after another, and the whole process was completed in one go!

At the moment of "touching", the five skeletons exploded and turned into piles of white bones.

With the explosion of the skeleton, the originally flat ground turned into a staircase for no reason. I knew that this was the staircase to the second floor, and I didn't hesitate at this moment, and went straight to the second floor of the ancient tower.

The second floor of the ancient tower is significantly different from the first floor, the first floor is relatively flat and free of clutter, while the second floor is more cluttered, and the dilapidated ancient furniture is covered with thick cobwebs, as if entering a room that has been uninhabited for many years, the only difference is that the room is slightly small. The furniture was covered in thick cobwebs, but there was not a trace of dust, and if I hadn't known that I was in the middle of an ancient tower, I suspected that I was now in a dark and terrifying old mansion, because the layout gave people a chilling feeling of imagination.

Just as I was looking up and down the layout of the room, a white shadow flashed in front of my eyes, and this sudden white shadow made my heart tense again! Because this tower was set up by the Difu Di to listen to the divine beast, and the devil knows what demons and monsters it has arranged in the tower, and it seems that it cannot be taken lightly.

"Whoosh!" two white shadows flashed.

"What a little ghost, don't show up quickly when you see grandpa!" I shouted at these extremely fast white shadows.

As soon as I finished speaking, three white lights swished and landed directly in front of me, turning into three human forms. The three white shadows behind him, all dressed in white, even looked exactly the same, their eyes were closed, their foreheads were sealed by a spirit rune, and their bodies were suspended in mid-air!

Rather than waiting for them to make a move, it is better for me to strike first, no, to strike first! I controlled the breath in my body to operate at my fingertips, and with lightning speed, a golden light shot out at the white-clothed ghost on the left. Apparently the ghost in white on the left didn't realize that I was going to make the first move, and he didn't have time to dodge, and was hit by the golden light shooting from my fingertips.

Ahh

What's going on? I only performed the Dao on one of the ghosts, so why did all three ghosts make painful noises at the same time?

Just as I was wondering, three white-clad ghosts disappeared in an instant and reappeared around my body, encircling me in a triangular shape.

I know that being besieged by these three ghosts will inevitably lead to a fierce battle, and I can't afford to miss the opportunity. After a moment of hesitation, I pressed my lower lip and once again drove the remnant soul power in my body to attack first. But the three white-clothed ghosts seemed to have seen my careful thoughts, and they stretched out their right hands at the same time and pressed them on their own seals, and in an instant, three invisible forces trapped me tightly.

The ghost aura is so strong, compared to the skeleton ghosts in the first layer, the resentment qi generated by these three ghosts in the second layer is much stronger than that in the first layer. However, these three white-clothed ghosts should belong to the ghosts divided by the same body, and there are some sporadic records in the black book, as long as one of the ghosts is defeated, the other two will also be unlucky.

Although I was trapped by three powerful ghost qi, they had a fatal weakness after all, and just as I was once again using the remnant soul power in my body to swim away, one after another spells appeared out of thin air, constantly impacting the three white-clothed ghosts in front of me. An old man in a yellow robe holding a charm in his left hand and a peachwood sword in his right hand came into my eyes with a heroic posture, he kept driving the charms, and finally scattered all the three white-clothed ghosts.

Grandfather?

I looked at my grandfather with a look of surprise, he scattered these three little ghosts and touched the same as when he did it before, just from the back I could recognize the yellow-robed Taoist in front of me, it was my grandfather, because I was too familiar with grandpa's back.

Looking at my grandfather's figure, I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, and I was a little speechless, but how did my grandfather know that I was in the ancient tower of this mass burial mountain?

Grandpa retracted his anger, looked at me with a puzzled look and said: "Until you left home, I have been following you to protect me in secret, I'm afraid that you won't be able to deal with it alone!

I was a little childish and proud, and told my grandfather, "My grandson is not afraid!" But I still looked at my grandfather with some excitement, after all, my grandfather is my only relative in this world.

Grandpa, as usual, put the charm in his hand into the yellow leather bag that straddled diagonally, hooked his wrist back, and carried the peachwood sword behind him.

Pointing to the staircase that stretched from the middle of the house, he said, "Let's go, go up to the third floor, even if it is Grandpa Daoshan Huohai, I will accompany you for a while." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, I followed my grandfather and walked up the stairs to the third percent.

After reaching the third floor of the ancient tower, a clearing overgrown with weeds appeared out of thin air, but this clearing was surrounded by eight caves, and a Pixiu was located in the center of each cave.

Grandpa looked at the eight Pixiu at the entrance vigilantly, turned back to me and instructed, "Be careful, these eight Pixiu all exude a strong attacking aura!"

After listening to my grandfather's words, I released a trace of remnant soul qi and conducted a survey around these eight Pixiu, and indeed as my grandfather said, each of these eight Pixiu has a trace of attacking arrogance. But the eight Pixiu have mediocre skills, and they don't have a strong attacking arrogance at all! Could it be that grandpa made a mistake?

Just when I was puzzled, Grandpa spoke again: "It's all paper tigers, it seems that Grandpa overestimated these guys, just now I thought they had a strong offensive arrogance, but after I carefully investigated, I found that they are all some ant-like existence!" A kind smile appeared on the corner of Grandpa's mouth between the words.

Looking at my grandfather's kind smile, my heart, which was still a little nervous, calmed down a lot. Suddenly, Grandpa rushed to Pixiu who was blocking us in front of us with an arrow step, and threw a fire talisman with one hand, and the fire instantly wrapped Pixiu that was blocking our way, igniting a raging fire.

Pixiu was obviously made of stone, and since it burned under Grandpa's attack, the remaining seven Pixiu around also began to tremble violently at this time.

"Don't do it yet!"

Grandpa glanced back at me, and launched a new round of attacks on the remaining Pixiu, and at this moment I didn't hesitate too much, and waved my hand to launch an attack on a few Pixiu.

"Bang Bang"

With a burst of explosions, in one round, my grandfather and I easily dealt with these Pixiu. Eight openings suddenly opened, but we had to make a choice again about which one to enter.

Grandpa took out the compass from the yellow leather bag unhurriedly, and silently recited some mantras in his mouth, just like when he looked at the Yin Mansion on weekdays, and carried out accurate positioning.

"If you go to the southwest cave, you can lead to the fourth floor, and the other caves are dead ends!"

It may be that the grandfather was too excited after precise positioning, and since he also spewed out a visible spitting star between his words.

With grandpa, everything can be easily handled, and the biggest obstacle in this third layer may be these eight holes leading to different destinations. If it weren't for my grandfather's ability to look at the underworld, I wouldn't have been able to find the entrance to the fourth floor. I thought silently, looking at my grandfather's back with some pride.

As I was about to follow my grandfather's footsteps into the cave, I wondered, no, no, no, what's wrong?

By the way, this is the entrance to the cave, where did I see my grandfather exploring the entrance of the cave today?

I am all too familiar with the way he walks, and the spittle in his mouth when he tells me which way to go! If I remember correctly, it was the spit star that he splattered when he spoke to me when he was looking at the Yin Mansion at Zhang's house, and because it was so funny, I remember it very deeply.

If Grandpa had been following me, then I had not used a spell when I had been exorcising ghosts and defeating enemies many times recently, but I had used the power of the remnant soul of the gill of the fish, and with Grandpa's character, he would have asked me how I learned this skill!

But today my grandfather didn't ask me anything, and what was even stranger was that on the second floor of the tower, I was surprised to sigh why my grandfather knew that I was in the ancient tower, and he immediately told me that he was secretly protecting me!

Later, he told me that the eight Pixiu on the third layer were extremely aggressive, and after some investigation by me, these eight Pixiu were mediocre and not extremely aggressive, but when I hesitated, my grandfather told me that he overestimated the eight Pixiu. He replied to me when I thought of something, which is too coincidental!

So who is the grandfather in front of me? From the second to the third floor, he has indeed been protecting me.

When I looked at my grandfather hesitantly and uncertainly, he turned back to me again and said, "By the way, when I came all the way to see you kill ghosts, I didn't use the secret techniques in the black book, and I didn't see you use Taoist techniques such as charms, where did your skills come from?"

That's right! The timing of his questioning was wrong, a normal person with half of his body had already drilled into the hole, and in such a place full of dangers, it was too illogical to turn around and ask me such a question! I had a bold guess in my heart, that is, the grandfather in front of me, no, it was the grandfather who was transformed by the demon who could read my inner thoughts, search for my memories, and then transform into the person I trusted the most, so that I could let down my guard, and finally kill me.

If it is a demon, I can distinguish between the enemy and me at a glance, but this grandfather in front of me is not half evil, what is going on? If he is really a demon, then this ghost is too terrifying, his ghost method is at least above me and Monk Zici, my originally calm heart began to beat again at this moment, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Demon, let's do it, don't pretend to be a ghost in front of the master!"

I had the courage to scream at the grandfather in front of me, anyway, I had already decided that he was not my grandfather, so why should I be afraid!

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, my grandfather, who was still wearing a golden robe, instantly began to dissipate in gold, and in a moment a little man in tattered clothes appeared in front of me. He stood hunched over at the entrance of the cave, exuding a black cold air from all over his body.

Just as I raised my hand and prepared to fight with the unknown black-clothed ghost in front of me, he suddenly spoke: "I heard that the Lord said that in a hundred years, someone will break through the seal and release me, could it be a young man?" No, impossible, your qualifications are too poor, even Pochen and Nangong Xiangyue, the two great powerhouses in the world, can't defeat the octopus guard, how can it be you, I think too much!" The black-clothed ghost who was dressed in tatters shook his head as he spoke.

"What nonsense, you and other evil animals endanger one party, and you even transform into my most trusted grandfather. ”

Between the words, my emotions were extremely angry, because I actually called a ghost grandfather, with my narrow mind, how could I give up!

"I'm just lost in your mind, even if you follow me into this cave, it's just a failure to break through the seal, although I am a wronged soul, but it will never hurt your heart, otherwise Lord Diting would not have chosen me to garrison the third floor of the tower from the countless wronged souls on the mass burial. ”

After listening to the ghost in black, my vigilance relaxed a little, but I still wanted to dispel his ghost.

"What about the three white-clad ghosts on the second floor?" I asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you see their flaws, the ghosts divided by the same body and body, as soon as the flaws come out, they will be defeated by you, it is better for me, the third-layer ecstasy ghost, to take the initiative to appear to gain your trust, so that you fail to climb the tower, but the chess is one step behind!"

As soon as the black-clothed ghost finished speaking, he waved his worn sleeves, and a staircase appeared out of thin air.

"Go, good luck, it's been really lively in the past fifty years, send away the dust, usher in Nangong Xiangyue, and now meet you again, a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, everything is a matter of desire, is the thing in the tower really so important? You can't pass the fourth layer of the octopus guard, and no one has ever been on the fifth floor, hahaha." ”

The black-clothed ghost revealed a hint of desolation and loneliness between his words, perhaps he also hoped that I could break through the seal and release him from this dark mass grave mountain.

What? Dao people like Pochen and Nangong Xiangyue have also been here? I thought silently in my heart. I wanted to know more about Broken Dust, but after thinking about it carefully, the black-clothed ghost couldn't even get out of the Mass Burial Mountain, so how could he possibly know the whereabouts of Broken Dust?

In order not to waste time, I snorted coldly and turned away.

Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me, I have to break through, because only by breaking through the seal can I take Zuo Yingqiu away! Not for anything else, just because I promised my grandfather that I must do my best to escort Zuo Yingqiu when he inhales yin qi, and besides, I also brought him here here, I can lose my trust in the whole world, but I must not lose my trust in my most respected grandfather.

I wanted to kill the black-clothed ghost before climbing the fourth-floor tower, but in order to save my strength to deal with the octopus guard on the fourth-floor, I resisted the desire to fight him, and I saved some trouble.

So what's so powerful about the octopus guards? Even Pochen and Nangong Xiangyue, the two people who have attained the Great Dao, have nothing to do with him!

But since I'm here, I'm going to meet him!

I turned and walked to the fourth floor of the ancient tower!
