Chapter Twenty-Eight: Challenges
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the four protectors took over the disciples of the Immortal Dao and guarded the ghost fetus of the wood ghosts. At the same time, in the hinterland of Liangwang Mountain, the people who decided to move forward were also ready and ready to move on. The ghost magic cast by the powerful ghosts is all over the endless darkness that will make people lose their direction on the way, but it is difficult for Mu Qingming. He used two majestic roosters to lead the way, and easily cracked the ghost magic. There is no way out, and the dragon lockers are at a loss. At this moment, Mu Qingming saw that in the middle of the pool in front of him, the ghost aura was rising. But in an instant, a hideous-looking old ghost rose from it, glaring at the dragon lockers with hostility in his eyes. 】
In the cave, it is not quiet.
Because of the arrival of the dragon lockers, this cave that has been silent for thousands of years has become more noisy.
Mo Han scolded, thinking back in the cave.
Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly shut up, smiled, and said no more.
He was also afraid that he was a crow's mouth, and it would be terrible to say anything.
And Mu Qingming continued to look ahead, the stone platform in the center of the pool.
There are many stone platforms, one next to the other, one on top of the other, layer upon layer.
The largest one is one or two feet, and the smallest is a few feet in diameter. Each stone platform is also filled with stagnant water. It doesn't overflow or dry, it seems to have been like this for thousands of years.
Ah Hong saw that Mu Qingming had been staring at that place for a long time, and he also looked at it curiously. Through the mist, I saw the stone platforms, and asked, "What's wrong with Master?" ”。
"Didn't you notice?" Mu Qingming narrowed his eyes, but still didn't look away, and continued to stare at the natural stone platform in the distance.
"All the spiritual breath comes from the middle of the pool." After a pause, Mu Qingming said again: "The rich ghost qi and yin qi also come from this. ”。
Speaking of this, Mu Qingming lowered his head and looked at the ground. His gaze slowly moved as he turned, slowly looking behind him.
In his eyes, he saw thousands of wisps of yin qi and ghost qi that were generally invisible to the naked eye, infinitely elongated, and then injected into the darkness on the road behind him, reaching out and missing his fingers.
It is undeniable that it is these inextricable wisps of general yin qi and ghost qi that continuously inject power into the ghost magic on the way.
Because of this, that ghost magic can exist for thousands of years without dissipating.
Moreover, after thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingming guessed that the way might be among those stone platforms.
It's just that the distance is far, and they can't see the whole picture of Shitai water, so they can only guess.
And Mu Qingming is sure that it won't really be a no-brainer.
It's just that they won't find their way so easily.
Mu Qingming continued to remain silent, looking around, observing everything around him.
Ah Hong squatted down, took out the bottle containing the vegetable worm, and fed the two mighty roosters some food.
"Wood." Mo Han walked to Mu Qingming's side, looked left and right, looked around, and began to be familiar with the scenery, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”。
Immediately after, without waiting for Mu Qingming to answer, Mo Han frowned slightly, and said: "Strange to say, there are ghost airflows in the rocks here, like spider webs, all over the top of the ground and the rock wall, as well as these stalagmites. ”。
"yes." Mu Qingming put away his solemn face, smiled lightly, and said to his wife, "Do you see it?" This cave is also a trick in ghostly magic. ”。
"Really?" Mo Han frowned even tighter, and confusion appeared in his eyes as he looked around.
She didn't look like any illusion or vision.
Mo Han is an expert in illusion and blindfolding, if she can't see the illusion, then the dragon lockers are definitely a master of illusion.
At least, that's what Mo Han thinks.
"It's not a master of illusion, it's just that the other party is very cleverly arranged." Mu Qingming, who had a close relationship with Mo Han, noticed his wife's thoughts, and turned his head to look at the stone platform that had been staring at him for a long time.
The stone platform is still quietly overlapped in the water, and the clear water contained in the stone platform is waveless and calm like a mirror.
Almost all of the mist rises from the water of the stone platform and drifts to various parts of the lake. But these mist are also peculiar, and not a single wisp of it leaves the pool.
They have been floating on the surface of the pool, gathering but not dispersing and not leaving the pool, just wandering on the pool.
The rich yin qi is also attached to those mist like shadows, gathering but not dispersing.
Under the nourishment of these yin qi, the ghost qi diffused in the pool water becomes more and more intense.
"This kind of blinding method is just a small illusion, the scope is not large, and it overlaps with the real scenery, so it is easy for us to ignore." After Mu Qingming said this, he raised his hand and pointed to the natural stone platforms in the middle of the pool in front of him: "It's very clever to cover the way, so it seems that we have entered a dead end and have no way out." In fact, the way to go is right in front of our eyes. ”。
Ah Hong had already gotten up, and while taking off the bamboo box on Mu Qingming's body, he asked thoughtfully, "Master, is the way to go in those stone platforms?" ”。
"Yes, the other party just cleverly cast a trick to make the stone platform full of water vapor and clear water illusion, covering the way." Mu Qingming nodded slowly and said, "There are pools around here, and it's normal for there to be water on the stone platform." We can't see the whole picture of the stone platform without checking, so naturally we won't dig deeper, and we think that there is no way out. Those who are impatient will turn around and return here. ”。
"What if you check it closely?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked curiously when Mu Qingming finished speaking.
Mo Han, who had already suddenly realized, hurriedly took over the conversation, looked at her husband Mu Qingming, and asked, "Then the first thing we see is only clear water filled with moisture, and we can't see the way out." Unless you break the clear water illusion in this place first, the way you come from will never be revealed, right? ”。
"That's right." Mu Qingming nodded his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
As soon as these words came out, the people who locked the dragon here all admired the ancestors who laid down this trick.
The opponent always starts from the place where people are easy to ignore, so that the lock dragon people do not check, and they are almost unable to prevent it and miss the way.
And the other party uses the water vapor of the pool here, so that the blind method also presents the illusion of clear water, so that reality and illusion overlap together, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
As Mu Qingming said, it is not the magic that is skillful, but the person who performs the magic. But reality and fantasy overlap, and it is difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.
Fortunately, Mu Qingming is not a frizzy child like Zhang Xiaosheng. Today, I was very patient, and I found the clues after a closer look.
That is, the clear water in the stone platform has been stagnant, and there is not even a slight wave or ripple, which is not normal in itself.
In addition, the sources of yin qi and ghost qi all came from the stone platform, so that after taking a closer look, he was even more convinced that the stone platform was the real scenery, and some of the clear water in it was indeed blinding.
Ah Hong has already put the two roosters back into the bamboo box again.
This unique rooster is not easy to raise, and it is best to lose or kill it.
After Ah Hong closed the bamboo box, he opened a few holes on it, so that the rooster could ventilate it inside and not suffocate to death.
Mu Qingming took a step forward and stood on the edge of the pool.
The ripples of the blue waves, the thin white mist, kept hovering in front of him.
Mu Qingming put his hands across his chest and pinched out a trick.
He happened to have a demonic qi after the transformation, and the ability he practiced hadn't tested the effect of actual combat, so he just used this illusion to test the effect of actual combat.
When the technique was formed, the True Qi in Mu Qing's body quickly reversed, and a gale suddenly rose in the air around him, whistling wildly.
The sharp sound of the wind is like a dragon's roar, like a tiger's roar.
The voices are a little infiltrating.
Ah Hong and Zhang Xiaosheng, who were not far from Mu Qingming, were blown back two steps by the strong wind before they barely stabilized their figures.
Although Mo Han gathered a large amount of True Qi on the soles of his feet, he stabilized his body and did not move at all. But his robe was also blown up by the strong wind, and the cuffs and skirts swayed constantly.
If the hair on the head is not tied in a bun, it will naturally fly in the wind.
While the gale continued to disperse, the pupils of Mu Qingming's eyes had already changed color, and they were all green, dazzling green in the darkness, and they rushed straight to the stone platform in the center of the pool.
In the midst of the scattered bursts brought up by the gale, Mo Han saw several shadows that could not be seen with the naked eye, splitting out of Mu Qingming's body and flying towards the stone platform.
In a moment, the shadows had already come to the air above the stone platform.
"Is this what the wood said about Xuanyuan?" Under the roaring wind, Mo Han thought secretly.
Mu Qingming once told her that the dragon lockers in ancient times and the pre-Qin period could cultivate a disembodied clone, which was condensed from the essence of Zhen Qi and the spellcaster, and was the doppelganger and puppet of the spellcaster, which was invisible to the naked eye, and was called Xuanyuan.
And Xuanyuan almost copied the ability of the ontology, and the ontology caster would be able to do the technique, and Xuanyuan would too. As long as the True Qi is sufficient, Xuan Yuan is the second caster.
At that time, among the people who locked the dragon, it was precisely because there were disciples who were not shallow in cultivation and had condensed Xuanyuan that they broke out of the encirclement from the siege of the Xia Wang Palace and avoided the crisis of extermination.
Mo Han thought about it here, and the fire had risen on the stone platform over there, and the entire stone cave was instantly filled with red light.
The original cold in the cave was instantly dispelled, and bursts of burning sensation came to the face with the scorching wind and heat wave.
The illusion created by the aura of water is cracked with the aura of fire, and Mu Qingming's method is the right medicine.
Soon, the entire pool was steaming, and it was impossible to see anything clearly. You can only see the depths of the misty white mist, blazing red, constantly beating.
Mu Qingming let go of his hand, and the pupils of his eyes flew rapidly, returning to their original state.
A fine layer of sweat was already oozing from his forehead.
The first time he exerted his sexual ability, his body and meridians were still not adaptable, Mu Qingming was tired for a while, and his joints were a little painful.
However, if you use this technique more in the future, practice makes perfect, and the physical burden after these operations will naturally adapt, and Mu Qingming will not be so tired anymore.
"Are you alright?" Mo Han asked with concern, took a step forward, put his hand on Mu Qingming's shoulder, and at the same time injected some of the true Qi in his body into Mu Qingming's body.
This can relieve the fatigue in Mu Qing's body and the temporary discomfort in the meridians.
"It's fine." Mu Qingming adjusted his breath and continued to stare ahead, his eyes becoming more and more vigilant.
At the same time, Mo Han and the two disciples could see that the light of the fire had dimmed in the white mist. The thick cold before, with an endless biting cold, surged from all directions again.
Quickly cooled the heat and scorching heat that spread all around.
In the blink of an eye, the cave was no longer lit and plunged into darkness again.
At the same time, the icy cold also fills every corner of the cave. Even the ground under Mu Qingming's feet began to glow with a thin layer of hoarfrost.
In the cold, a rich ghostly aura rises.
The white fog continued to disperse, changing endlessly with the wind. But the foggy gale had turned into a biting wind.
Without the True Qi Protector, the dragon lockers present would have shivered in the biting cold, and gradually became completely covered with hoarfrost like the ground, and then became exquisite and lifelike humanoid ice sculptures.
Moreover, the rooster in the bamboo box was also protected by Mu Qing's dark luck, so as to avoid being frozen to death and becoming a frozen chicken under the increasingly cold air.
At the same time, an angry roar came from the middle of the pool, and in the darkness, the white mist that had gathered before dissipated.
Mu Qingming and the others forcibly endured the harshness of the angry roar and fled away.
I saw that the stone platform in the middle of the pool was high, and an old ghost with a ghostly aura rising and flying all over his body flew out, flying out of the air, and a pair of blood-colored angry eyes overlooked all the dragon lockers below.
In the hostile ghost eyes, blood flowed incessantly, constantly overflowing from the eye sockets, flowing and sliding down the wrinkled face of the old ghost.
The old ghost in the robe has no wind and puffs himself, so his face is even more hideous.
The ghost aura on his body became stronger and stronger, rising and flying continuously. The rich ghostly aura that was as black as ink almost covered the lower half of the old ghost's body, so that people couldn't see or see what was below his waist.
However, the old ghost wears a round-necked cardigan, unbuttoned, and the sleeves are short and wide, and the length reaches the elbow.
However, at the collar of the body, he wears an openwork and gem-shaped buckle.
This is the costume of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
Sure enough, it's an old ghost, and it's been a ghost for thousands of years. Maybe it's the Longmu clan that Mu Qingming saw on their murals before.
Moreover, Mu Qingming and Mo Han could see that the old ghost with hostility in their eyes was full of vigilance and had no kindness, so don't expect the other party to have any kind face towards them.
However, Mu Qingming and Mo Han were not afraid, and Mu Qingming took the lead in raising his head and said to the old ghost: "Old man, please listen to me. We're not bad people, we're just here to explore the Immortal Path's past. After seeing the mural, I also wanted to destroy the bones of the golden crow hidden here. ”。
If he could, Mu Qingming didn't plan to fight this ghost-filled and rich old ghost.
I don't know what the old ghost thinks, but after Mu Qingming finished speaking, he fell into deep thought. The anger and hostility in his eyes have receded significantly.
Although his eyes were still bleeding, he was no longer as vigilant as before.
After thinking for a long time, the old ghost coughed twice, looked at Mu Qingming and asked, "You are the dragon locker?" ”。
"Ah, what did this man say?" Zhang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment and exclaimed.
"Yes." Mu Qingming understood, and immediately nodded and said.
There is nothing to hide.
The old ghost glanced at Zhang Xiaosheng, who was puzzled, coughed again, and said in a different way, "Thousands of years ago, our ancestors and your ancestors had a big battle. Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, as fate would have it, it was the Dragon Lock Man who came here to help us go back to the Golden Crow. ”。
Zhang Xiaosheng also understood what the old ghost said this time, but he secretly thought in his heart: This old ghost is really a descendant of the Longmu clan.
"But ......" paused, and the old ghost said again: "Whether you have the ability to destroy the bones of the Golden Crow, the old man has to verify it himself." You must overcome me as a challenger before you can see the bones of the Golden Crow. ”。
How will the old ghost deal with Mu Qingming and his group? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
