Chapter III

Smack!

The sound of footsteps echoes clearly, and the silence of the place can be seen.

In the darkness, a figure walked slowly, holding an ancient bronze lamp in his hand, and a flickering flame burned on the wick. The flame seems to be a real light in this dark space, it seems to be a weak flame, but it illuminates a place, and this person is Yi Xi who entered the outer underworld.

He eventually gritted his teeth and entered, but soon found that everything here was the exact opposite of what he had thought, that it was an empty hall, and that there was no jade coffin strewn with jewels as he had imagined.

"Strange..."

Yi Xi shook his head, looked around, and found nothing, and the most important thing was that the ghost thing he had been guarding against seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared.

"Isn't this the outer underworld?"

Helplessly, he could only plan to leave, but at this time, he subconsciously glanced at it and saw a strange scene, which was the shadow that stretched into the darkness under his feet.

"That's not right..."

Yi Xi frowned, the only four main veins in his body began to operate, and his figure retreated one after another, but a strange scene appeared, his shadow did not retreat with him backwards, as if he was pulled by something and couldn't move.

"Ahem..."

As he used his internal force, the violent movements caused the injuries in his body to rebound, making a rapid coughing sound, and a trace of blood faintly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"It is rumored that there is a magic circle that can ingest souls, and there is a soul and a soul in the shadow of a person..."

Thinking of this, Yi Xi's heart moved, and he took a careful step and walked towards the place where the shadow extended. Soon, he spotted the end of his shadow, where a faint whirlpool was slowly moving, and he couldn't find it without looking closely.

Immediately, the flames on the bronze lamp in his hand changed slightly, and one of the flames separated automatically and was sucked into the whirlpool.

Thundered!

With the inhalation of the flames, there was a rapid roar under the whirlpool, and then a half-human-high stone platform slowly rose, and there was also a simple copper lamp on the stone platform.

"I see. ”

Yi Xi immediately understood, picked off half of the flames, and hit the copper lamp.

Raging!

The quaint bronze lamp flickered several times at once, barely burning a thin flame. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud 'boom' sound in front of the stone hall again.

Following the sound, a stone door was slowly rising. At the same time, a piece of fire was refracted from the stone door, which suddenly brightened up the dark stone hall.

A series of changes caused him to hesitate slightly, but he quickly made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and walked straight inside.

When he got closer, he found that it was a plank road, and on both sides of the plank road hung scarlet copper lamps, and the light shone from these lights.

The passage is not far away, about half a cup of tea, then come to the end of the passage, what catches your eye is a stone hall full of a pair of blood jade coffins, and there are a full twenty coffins in the stone hall. On top of each coffin, there is a blood-lit lantern.

"That's?"

When he saw the end of the stone hall where the coffin was placed, there was a beautiful mural, and the mural was painted on the ghost he saw, the black body was like a lion and a tiger, but it had a face like a man and a cat, and the ghost seemed to be devouring souls in the painting, and countless ghosts showed fear.

Seeing this scene, Yi Xi subconsciously held the palm of the copper lamp a little harder, and faintly realized that the ghost thing just now might be related to this, which made his relaxed mind tense again.

But after a long time, he didn't find the shadow of the ghost, so he slowly walked towards the nearest blood jade coffin.

Jade coffins are not uncommon in this world, and it is rumored that jade can protect the aura from leaking out, and can also resist evil things, so it is quite popular in the world here.

After approaching, the surface of the blood jade coffin seemed to be like a slowly flowing water surface under the light, sparkling, extremely magical.

"It's really rich, this kind of 'streamer jade' is worth a lot of money when it is placed outside. ”

Yi Xi sighed slightly, there are many kinds of jade, the worst is Puyu, the highest is Lingyu, and this kind of streamer jade is in the upper middle and is worth a lot, even so, it is priceless!

"Offended. ”

After some sighing, Yi Xi said solemnly to the coffin, and then walked to the coffin, ready to open the coffin.

Thundered...

The coffin lid was suddenly pushed open with a gap half a person wide, which made him a little surprised, the seemingly heavy coffin, originally thought it would take some effort, but what he didn't expect was that the coffin lid was extremely light, even a ten-year-old child could push it.

When the coffin lid was pushed open, what caught my eye was that the coffin was also full of light, and the light of the copper lamp actually refracted along the entire blood jade coffin.

In the coffin, an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes was lying peacefully, with a hint of ruddy on his face, as if a living person was sleeping quietly here.

"Tsk, the royal family is just different. ”

Yi Xi sighed again, and then he saw a small seal the size of a baby's fist placed on the old man's chest, and the blood light shone on it, as if it was swallowed by it.

"It's you. ”

Yi Xi grabbed the small seal, and when he grabbed it and found that nothing had happened, his tense mood was finally relieved.

Perhaps because he was happy in his heart, what Yi Xi didn't notice was that after about a breath or two after grabbing the small seal, the old man who was lying suddenly opened his closed eyes, and his eyes were cloudy and unfocused.

At the same time, Yi Xi grabbed Xiao Yin's hand and was about to leave the coffin, when an old palm grabbed his wrist.

The sudden scene made Yi Xi's pupils shrink sharply, and an indescribable coolness rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his scalp seemed to explode in an instant...

Corpse fraud?

This was the first thing Yi Xi thought of.

In the entire stone platform, all the ever-bright lamps and copper lamps seemed to flicker wildly, as if they would go out at any time!

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, the blood jade coffin in front of Yi Xi's eyes slammed out, and an old and lifeless figure sat up from the blood jade coffin.

Mutter!

Seeing this, Yi Xi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to struggle frantically, trying to break free from the old palm that clenched his wrist. But no matter how much he struggled, the palm of his hand was like an iron pincer, firmly holding his wrist and not letting go.

"Roar..."

The old figure stiffened its head towards Yi Xi and let out a beast-like roar at him. Immediately after, two clusters of green flames burst out of his eyes.

Immediately, the face of the old figure was like a ceramic, and a trace of cracks appeared, and in just a few breaths, the cracks were all over the body, and pieces of skin began to fall off, and the powder was...

After a while, the old figure that was originally still flesh and blood was left with a pair of white dry bones, and there were streamers in the dry bones, which were extremely infiltrating.

At the same time, a momentum that frightened Yi Xi erupted in this dry bone.

Boom!

The next moment, Yi Xi felt that the palm that grabbed his wrist suddenly loosened, and before he could rejoice, a wave of momentum pushed him out and slammed into the stone wall in the distance.

"Poof!"

Immediately, Yi Xi felt as if his five internal organs were broken, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out, dyeing his snow-white hair red.

This is not the worst, the worst thing is that the quaint bronze lamp in his hand has already flown out of his hand, landed on the ground in the distance, and after flashing several times, it gradually extinguished.

Finished!

He felt a grunt in his heart, and a bad premonition emerged.

Sure enough, at the moment when the copper lamp went out, the blood jade coffin in the entire stone hall began to vibrate violently, and the ever-bright lamps on it went out one after another.

The first to emerge was the skeleton, its sunken eyes with green flames soaring, black smoke rising from his limbs. With the black smoke and green life constantly running away, a momentum that suffocated him rushed towards his face.

"Looks like I'm going to die here. ”

Yi Xi smiled bitterly, but before he died, his fear was reduced, although he was unwilling, but what could he do?

The original weak body forcibly urged the internal force, which was overwhelmed, but now it has been hit hard, and now he doesn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Fengpujun, Nan Fengyan, Yi Chenyang, hehe, you won!"

Yi Xi slowly closed his eyes with unwillingness, the sense of oppression made him almost desperate, and the momentum of the skeleton's explosion was probably not an enemy even in his heyday.

"Huh? It's actually the handwriting of Gannan Province. ”

A voice of slight surprise sounded at this critical moment.

Immediately, Yi Xi opened his eyes violently, and in his sight, a tall figure in a green robe appeared in his eyes. At this time, the other party was looking at the skeleton with one hand and pinching his chin.

And he is the King of Qingxuan.

"Apprentice, I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate for you, the first time I took the material, I encountered the means of Gannan Dao, tsk, this luck..."

"Gannan Dao?" Yi Xi was confused about what King Qingxuan said, but the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe still occupied his entire heart.

"You don't need to think too much about these, you just need to know how far and how far you can go when you meet people in Gannan Province in the future, although those people are very annoying, and it is very troublesome if you run into them. King Qingxuan shook his head, and immediately raised his palm slightly, put his fingers together, and a cyan aura appeared on his fingertips with countless tiny runes and cyan arcs, and lightly tapped at the forehead of the roaring skeleton.

Burst!

The fingers that King Qingxuan pointed out were like fine iron, seemingly light, but they were full of power, easily piercing the skeleton's forehead. In Yi Xi's shocked eyes, the skull instantly turned powdered.

Mutter!

Yi Xi didn't know that this was the first time he had secretly swallowed his saliva in shock, and he had been shocked too much today. At the same time, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes, and he didn't know if he could have such a strong day...

After doing this, King Qingxuan did not stop, although the skeleton had been destroyed, the frequency of vibration in the other blood jade coffins was getting faster and faster, he didn't want the Wu royal family to notice that someone had invaded their Taizu burial ground now.

"Hurry!"

With a soft groan from Qing Xuanzi, a round of cyan light slowly emerged after his death, and the wisps of arc beating between the wheels condensed, and finally turned into a huge array covering the entire stone hall.

The cyan arc and characters formed a sigil on each blood jade coffin, quickly suppressing the blood jade coffin that vibrated faster and faster.
