Chapter 435: The Invisible Man
At this moment, Jiang Lai's eyes were a lush jungle, and in the middle of the jungle, there was a magnificent complex of buildings, which looked like a small city, and several spacious streets crisscrossed it.
Around the city, there are towering mountain peaks that surround it. Not only that, but a formation is also arranged at the top, and when you look up from below, you can clearly see the sky outside. However, it was obvious that because of the existence of this formation, no one outside could see inside.
Otherwise, the people of the Wu family would have discovered this place a long time ago.
Looking at the stairs under his feet, Jiang Lai did not hesitate and walked straight down, this is a city with a history of thousands of years, I don't know what major discoveries will be made inside.
Walking through the surrounding jungle, Jiang Lai finally came to a building, he raised his eyes and looked, only to see a plaque hanging on the top of the door of this building, with three ancient words written on it, Ling Shuge.
In addition to this, other surrounding buildings have their own names, such as the Hall of Eternal Life, Wanhe Palace. Judging from these names, it is likely that this is a sect of Taoism.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai's mood was a little excited, and he didn't know what secrets would be hidden here.
At this time, at the exit of the passage, Liu Chuxue and Liu Chuqing stood in front of the steps, looking at the towering buildings below, one by one, dumbfounded and shocked.
Since Jiang Lai entered that secret passage, they have been secretly following, originally wanting to pick up some leaks and get some benefits, but they didn't expect to find such a place.
"Sister, I'm right, as long as you follow Jiang, you will definitely have a harvest. Liu Chuxue couldn't help but say happily, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look, lest all the good things be taken away by Jiang Lai." ”
Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Chuqing couldn't help but feel a little moved, although she was very disgusted with her sister using Jiang Lai, but in the face of this existence thousands of years ago, she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart.
At this time, Jiang Lai didn't know that Sister Liu Chuqing was following behind him, and he was still looking at the surrounding buildings.
"Canghai Pavilion!"
Looking at the plaque hanging in front of him, Jiang Lai didn't think much about it and walked in. The loft is fairly clean, the accumulated dust is not thick, and the overall preservation is good. It's just that everything in the attic seems to have been emptied, and only a few rows of wooden shelves remain, and beyond that, there is nothing.
Jiang Lai wandered around twice, and when he saw that he didn't find anything, he turned around and prepared to leave. But at this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling, his steps stopped unconsciously, his eyes turned around, and his eyes scanned again.
"Strange!" he muttered, and just now, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, as if someone was watching him from behind, and that feeling was very strong. However, at a glance, the entire attic was empty, and there was not a single ghost except him.
Moreover, the layout of the attic is very simple, there is no hiding place at all.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, Jiang Lai raised his feet and walked directly out of the door. However, as soon as he took a few steps, the feeling reappeared, even stronger than before.
Jiang Lai turned around abruptly and looked behind him, but there was nothing.
"Whoa, don't be sneaky, come out!" he snorted, his eyes gradually turning cold. If it's just once, he can think it's his own misjudgment, but it's not his problem to feel the same two times in a row.
There must be something wrong with this attic!
Could it be that someone was one step ahead of him, and because they found his traces, they hid and deliberately scared him?
In a flash, Jiang Lai vetoed this speculation, if the other party didn't want to expose his traces, there was no need to pretend to scare him.
Seeing that there was no movement around him, he nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Since you refuse to come out, then don't blame me for being rude." As the words fell, his heart moved, and with a clanging sword sound, a brilliant purple light instantly shot out and hovered above his head.
"Kill!"
With a light spit, the Zixiao Sword immediately burst out with hundreds of fierce sword qi, and swept wildly towards the surroundings, everywhere it went, dust flew, and everything was destroyed.
"Stop!"
At this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded, sounding like a woman, but her voice was a little hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for many years.
Jiang Lai flicked his wrist, and the sword qi that surrounded him disappeared instantly. He looked straight in the direction where the voice came from, and said coldly, "Come out!"
"I'm right in front of you, but you can't see it. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but be taken aback, and the Zixiao Sword spun rapidly around his body to be unprepared.
"You don't have to play tricks on me, as long as you're a human being, there's no way I can't see it. ”
"You're right!" the woman smiled wryly, "I'm not human, but I'm not a ghost, I think...... No human or no ghost is a better way to describe me. ”
Jiang Lai was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?"
"I've been in Canghai Pavilion for thousands of years, and you're the first outsider I've ever met. ”
"Thousands of years?" Jiang Lai's eyes widened, looking at the air in front of him in disbelief, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "You...... How many thousand years have you lived? Are you ......?"
"I know what you're trying to say, yes, I am, and since you've found it, you know what happened. ”
Jiang Lai took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down, what he was encountering now was too weird, "That...... All I know is that your time was destroyed by the search for forbidden powers, and not a single person survived. ”
"Yes!" said the woman, "but you are not right, not all of them died, and some survived, like me, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and they have struggled in pain for thousands of years. There are many people who can't stand this kind of torture, so they choose to die completely. ”
"Why did you become like this?" Jiang Lai asked curiously.
"Of course, because of the power of the forbidden, you can find it, and you must be looking for it too, I advise you, give it up, that kind of thing is not accessible to mortals, if you don't get it right, you will probably become like me. ”
With that, the woman stepped aside, picked up a rag from the ground, and put it over herself. In this way, Jiang Lai finally knew where she was.
"Can you tell me what the power of the forbidden is?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The forbidden power represents immortality, absolute power, and the right to dominate the world, and anyone wants to take it for themselves." However, none of them are qualified to have it, so they are what they are. ”
