Chapter 367: The Living, the Dead
After the black-robed man was caught, he revealed the secret of the blue stone so happily, Murong Lingxue knew that there was a deception. This person is not credible, but it is a rare breakthrough point, and it is a pity to give up like this. The eldest lady and Lisheng glanced at each other, and the two reached a consensus that it was time for a different way.
When Li Sheng was hugging Murong Lingxue's thigh in the black robe and begging for mercy, he threw a ladybug onto his shoe, this ladybug was not an ordinary insect, but a Gu worm that Xiao Gongzi had cultivated for many years. Murong Lingfeng is also strange, she likes to raise some insects to relieve boredom when she is bored in Zhantian Palace, what kind of Gu worms, she has almost cultivated them. But except for the two butterflies that are black and white, the other insects, the little boy only eats and drinks deliciously, and rarely uses them. Later, knowing that the invincible Holy Lord was afraid of insects, and that he had reached the point of hatred, the little boy never touched these insects again. Instead, they were given to Lisheng and Murong Lingxue.
Probably because of the road idiot attributes, the number and variety of guide insects among the Gu worms cultivated by Xiao Gongzi are the largest. This ladybug is one of the guide insects, the incense beetle. Most Gu worms have two molecular mothers, and the Xiangxiang nail is no exception. Glued to the black-robed man's boots, and later ran to Shangguan Diansheng's body, it was the subworm of the incense beetle, and its small body would exude a faint fragrance. This fragrance can float for hundreds of miles, but the human nose is not sensitive enough to smell this fragrance. That's when the mother worm comes in. The female worm is a black beetle, hundreds of times larger than the child beetle. It doesn't have the same attachment as a subworm, but it flies extremely fast. The two beetles are cultivated together, and the mother can sensitively feel the aroma of the insects, and can accurately find the insects by following the aroma hundreds of miles away.
The subworm attached to Shangguan Diansheng's body, and Murong Lingxue followed the mother worm to find it. Along the way, she found out that Shangguan Diansheng was really smart. He did not set up camp in the Outer Realm, but placed it on the edge of the Outer Realm, the Fog Tomb. The Fog Tomb is an ancient battlefield, and there are still many undead spirits roaming in it. Three years ago, Yun Mo took away the two major commanders of the Wuling Tomb - Di Chen and Long Ming, so that the Wuling group of dragons had no leader, and the undead could not leave the resentment accumulated for thousands of years from the Wuling, and there was no restriction from the ruler, and for a while, the fog here was even thicker, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves continued day and night. If a person gets closer, he will be injured by evil qi, and in light cases, half of his strength will be damaged, and in severe cases, he will hurt his muscles and veins and even endanger his life. Therefore, the inhabitants of the Outer Realm, whether they were the Stone People or the Beast Clan, all hid away from the Fog Tomb and did not dare to approach here again. Su Liqing had been searching for Shangguan Diansheng's camp for more than a few months, but he never thought that he would hide the camp in the fog tomb.
This is also something that Murong Lingxue doesn't understand—even she feels the horror of Wuling. If she hadn't swallowed the pill given by Li Sheng before coming in, it would have been a question of whether she and Yun Han would be able to stand properly now. An Shuli and the others also had the protection of the Lan family to enter the fog tomb safely. So, what does Shangguan Diansheng rely on as an ordinary person?
Shangguan Diansheng knew that Murong Lingxue's whip was not easy to mess with, so he didn't hit it hard, but threw the sword in his hand at Nangong Yunhan. Sure enough, Murong Lingxue's eyes narrowed slightly, and as soon as she raised her hand to withdraw the whip, she kicked the flying sword. This back and forth was just a greeting, she didn't think that she could take Shangguan Diansheng's head so easily.
Murong Lingxue stood still ten meters away from Shangguan Diansheng, neither of them paid attention to the battle situation of the stone people around them, but just looked at each other, weighing the strength of the other party, and neither of them would strike first.
Murong Lingxue clenched her whip to prevent Shangguan Diansheng from sneaking up, and she tentatively asked, "Who are you?"
"Didn't you just hear that? I am the one who is about to become your king. Shangguan Diansheng spoke arrogantly, he had nothing to hide from this matter, the crown was already in front of him, as long as he took a few more steps forward, it would be within reach.
Murong Lingxue only regarded it as a joke said by a madman, "Why don't I ask in a different way, are you human?"
The corners of Shangguan Diansheng's mouth turned up, and there was a slight appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Murong Lingxue, "Why, you think I'm not human, so what is it?"
"My mother killed you with her own hands, and she has repeatedly confirmed that you are completely dead. For a long time, we all thought that you were resurrected, but now I don't think so, how can a living person stay in a foggy tomb full of evil spirits?" Murong Lingxue's analysis was reasonable.
Shangguan Dian raised his eyebrows, "Go on." ”
You have not been resurrected, or rather, your resurrection is not the same as we understand it. You've always been a dead man! Not only you, but your men, and even the stone men you're controlling, they're dead. Only the dead can survive in the foggy tombs. Murong Lingxue said with certainty that this idea was no longer a guess for her, and she was at least ninety percent sure.
"Just because of a fog tomb, you can judge that I am a dead person?" Shangguan Diansheng clapped his hands, unabashedly admiring his appreciation, "It's rare that Zhantian Palace can raise a person who understands, not just a waste who talks about love and love." His smile grew more and more wicked, "That's right, the people here are dead." You can kill the living, but how can you kill a dead man?"
Shangguan Diansheng beckoned behind him, and two people, a man and a woman, walked out from behind him.
Nangong Yunhan's mouth opened wide in surprise, "You...... You ......" This man and woman were the black-robed people they found in the village of the Stone People, and he clearly remembered that he stabbed his sword into the back of the man, and then stabbed out from the back of the woman, and the two were killed on the spot, how could they appear here again?
Shangguan Diansheng nodded, "Yes, they are already dead, they died ten years ago!
As he spoke, Nangong Qingye and An Shuli combined their swords to cut off the head of the stone man. However, the headless stone man still did not fall, but became even more crazy.
"You can't kill the dead, but we can kill the living!" Shangguan Diansheng beckoned again, and two black-robed people walked over with Shangguan Mingchu, who was tied hands and feet, blindfolded and gagged.
Shangguan was thrown at the feet of Shangguan Diansheng at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Shangguan Diansheng stepped on Shangguan Mingchu's head, and the sword was against his chest, "Do you want to try it and see if I can kill him?"
"Wait!" Murong Yu hurriedly stopped him. Shangguan Diansheng is a madman, he is crazy, they can't afford to gamble!, "What do you want?" Murong Yu asked tentatively.
"What do I want?" Shangguan Diansheng laughed, "I made it clear in that letter a long time ago! I want Murong Lingfeng to exchange him! Originally, I said to let her come by herself, but I am really not very happy that so many people have come here at once! Since I am unhappy, should he also accompany me to feel uncomfortable?" As he spoke, he plunged his sword into Shangguan Mingchu's arm as if he were ruthless.
A scream resounded throughout the Fog Tomb.
Murong Lingfeng, who was walking in the dark, suddenly stopped, and she tugged at the sleeve of Lisheng in front of her, "Shengsheng, did you hear any sound?"
"Well, I heard it, it seems that someone is calling, and it sounds quite miserable. I guess I was bitten by a wolf!" Lisheng replied to her with the night pearl in front of him.
Murong Lingfeng only felt a chill down his spine, "Are there any wolves here?"
"The so-called Outer Heaven Realm is just a deep mountain and old forest with a better environment, not to mention wolves, there should be a lot of tigers and leopards!" Li Sheng pushed the little boy to the side of the white tiger, "If you are afraid, follow Xuanyi, it is a spirit tiger, the king of all beasts, and the beasts of the Zhantian Continent are afraid of it! Li Sheng no longer paid attention to the startled little boy, and he leaned closer to the stone wall to try to hear something.
What are these two people doing here? Naturally, they're here to find the Dead River!
The entrance to the cave had been blocked, and they didn't have the patience to clean up the rubble. Su Liqing said that the dead river is groundwater, and it has its own river channel, and the river must be connected. Li Sheng casually found a hole and came down, and took the little boy to find water.
I could still hear the sound of tinkling water before, but I don't know why I couldn't hear anything when I walked here. It just so happened that there was a fork in the road here, and Li Sheng didn't figure out which way to go after distinguishing it for a long time. In the end, he really had no choice but to turn to the little boy for help, "Feng'er, do you want to go left or right?"
Murong Lingfeng looked here and there, and after a long struggle, he finally stomped his foot ruthlessly, pointed to the hole on the left and said, "Go to the left!"
Li Sheng nodded, "Okay, let's go this way!" As he spoke, he led Xuanyi into the hole on the right.
Murong Lingfeng hurriedly caught up, "Didn't you say to go to the left?"
Xuan Yi shook his head, "Of course the road idiot's choice is wrong!
The little boy was so angry that he was about to pounce on Lisheng to teach him a lesson, but he suddenly stood still. Murong Lingfeng walked around in wonder, a crystal clear blue appeared in front of her eyes, the river of death that had been looking for so long appeared in front of them so simply, Murong Lingfeng couldn't find the words to describe her mood at this time for a while.
Lisheng hugged her over and kissed the top of her head, "Baby, you are really a big lucky star!
What is it thanks to her? Is the wrong choice? Murong Lingfeng didn't know whether he should be happy or not for a while.
Murong Lingfeng walked to the river, slowly stretched out his hand to the river, and when her fingertips touched the water, a heartfelt chill penetrated into her body, and the little boy reflexively withdrew his hand. She crossed her fingers and looked left and right, "Is there really a river demon here?"
"How is it possible?!" Li Sheng said disdainfully, "If there really is a monster, how can this seat not feel it at all?" but ......" Li Sheng put his hands on Murong Lingfeng's shoulders and gently pressed her, giving her a sense of security, "You close your eyes and try to feel here." ”
Murong Lingfeng did so, and after a while, she opened her eyes, and the fear on her face receded, replaced by an expression of joy and enjoyment. "Why do I think this place is very familiar and friendly? Shengsheng, you are right, it really doesn't look like there is a monster here, but I think there is a faint trace of holy fairy here!"
Lisheng nodded, "That's right." Immortal ......" he squatted down beside the little boy and held a handful of water in the palm of his hand, "I didn't remember what this place was until I saw it again." ”
"Where is it?" asked Murong Lingfeng.
Li Sheng didn't answer her, but sat down cross-legged and asked her another question, "Speaking of which, in addition to Zhan Tiangong, you still have half of the Lan family's bloodline, how much do you know about the Lan family?"
Murong Lingfeng didn't understand why Li Sheng suddenly asked this, so he had to shake his head, "How do I know what the Lan family is! It's just that I've seen two or three people from the Lan family, and all of them are strange." However, except for Lan Xi, I like them all. What's wrong? How do you remember to ask them?"
"Because the next place we are going to is the territory of the Lan family. Lisheng said.
Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard his words, "Do you mean Immortal Island? Have we found a way to get to Immortal Island?" Li Sheng once said that the road to heaven is on the Immortal Island, and the Immortal Island is the last barrier of the road to the sky. The Lan family has guarded the Immortal Island for generations, that is, they are guarding the road to heaven and maintaining the order of the two planes. In other words, if you want to enter the road to heaven, you must first go to Immortal Island. "Shengsheng, you are really amazing! The Lan family has been looking for a place that they have not been able to find for decades, and you have found it easily!"
Li Sheng glanced at her meaningfully, "I didn't find it, it came to me." Everything is a certainty, and when the wheel of fate turns to its rightful place, what should happen will happen, and no one can stop it or force it. The Zhantian Continent has its meaning of existence, and the Immortal Island is the same, they will only be opened for those who are destined. ”
Murong Lingfeng was confused by his theory of fate again, "What are you talking about?" ”
Lisheng chuckled and rubbed her head, "I mean, since the person it was waiting for has arrived, it should see the light of day again." ”
Before Lisheng's words fell, Murong Lingfeng heard the sound of a break above his head. She wanted to look up to see what was going on, but Lisheng was hugged into her arms and blocked her view.
The ground above their heads began to crack, and the ground beneath their feet began to rise. The river, which had been hidden underground for thousands of years, finally rediscovered and returned to the earth, shimmering with an eerie blue light in the bright moonlight.
