Verse 412: Secret Passage Illusion
"Did the snorer find out here? So what to do? Wouldn't it be dangerous if we continued this way? Hearing Zhang Su's words, the wraith's originally relieved heart became worried again.
"Yes, there will definitely be some, but that Liang Snoring sent a ghost to explore this place in the name of patrolling, which means that he probably guessed the direction of the entrance to this secret passage, but he didn't know its exact location, so we can still take this opportunity to wander around its ghost cave." Zhang Su rubbed his chin and analyzed briefly.
"Since it is a secret passage, there should be two or more entrances and exits, once we enter the secret passage, the cool snorer will set a trap at the exit and wait for us, then won't we become turtles in the urn?" After Zhang Su's analysis, the wraith also pondered.
"It's not impossible, but it's not very likely, if the cool snorer really found the exit near its lair, it shouldn't send the ghost to patrol near this entrance, and listen to the chatter of the two ghosts, because of the exploration and patrol of the crypt secret passage, the cool snorer ghost has also broken a lot of subordinates, so the exit of this secret passage should still be safe, at least at this stage, it has not been discovered by the cool snorer." Zhang Su continued to rub his chin and ponder, and replied after a moment.
"It's true, if you already know the opening over there, you can start exploring it directly from there, there is no need to send someone to find the entrance from here, it seems that the Cool Snorer Ghost still hasn't found the existence of the secret passage, but with the strength of the Cool Snoring Ghost's advanced ghost level, is it so difficult to find an entrance close to your own ghost cave? And it's when you already know that there is a secret passage. Still a little puzzled, the Wraith continued to ask.
"If the secret passage is natural, it is indeed not difficult to find, but what if the secret passage is artificially opened? It's not easy to find. Zhang Su said meaningfully.
"Artificially developed? What do you mean? The wraith had not seen the spiritual memory of the tall soul ghost, so naturally he didn't know what Zhang Su meant, so he asked curiously.
"That secret passage was personally opened and disguised by a minister-level ghost envoy in the Nine Palaces Yama Organization, just to deal with the Cool Snoring Ghost, because the secret passage is extremely secretive, if you can't find the entrance, you can't see the entire secret passage at all, even if it's as strong as a high-level ghost like the Cool Snoring Ghost, you can't perceive it with soul power, so the Cool Snoring Ghost can only send people to patrol here, trying to let its subordinates find out the location of the entrance." Zhang Su explained.
"Minister-level ghost envoy? That's also a ghost king-level existence, so that's the case, no wonder the cool snoring ghost can't find it. After Zhang Su explained, the wraith suddenly said.
After explaining the relevant things about the secret passage with the wraith, Zhang Su walked towards the entrance of the crypt in the opposite direction that the two imps left, and in the blink of an eye, he came to an entrance that went down again, and after a slight groan, he jumped down and fell into a rock cave, facing several passages around him with no end in sight, his eyes condensed.
"One, two, three...... there seem to be eight roads here, which one leads to that secret passage?" When Zhang Su looked around
, The wraith also saw the surrounding environment through Zhang Su's soul eyes, and asked in surprise.
"You're wrong, it's not eight roads, it's nine, and only the ninth path leads to the secret passage." Hearing the Wrai's question, Zhang Su shook his head and said meaningfully.
"Nine roads? No, there are only eight holes around here, and I only see one road in each hole, how can there be nine roads, and there is a path hidden between the cracks in the rock wall? Wraith asked, confused.
"There are indeed eight holes around us, and there is indeed only one passage in each hole, and there is no path hidden in the crack of the rock wall, so there is nothing wrong with the eight roads you see, but there are indeed nine roads in total, and the road you don't see is the real secret passage." Zhang Su nodded and continued to sell Guan Zidao.
"The road I didn't see? Is it under our feet? No, there are some stalactites under my feet, and I don't see any holes? That's on our heads, no, all I see above my head are some milky stone hanging cones like icicles, and other than that, the hole we just jumped down from, how can there be any cave access? After Zhang Su spoke, the wraith looked at the heavens and the earth through Zhang Su's soul eyes, and then said in a bitter voice.
"Haha, didn't you say it all, we have a hole in our head." Zhang Su smiled and responded.
"Got a hole in your head? Only the hole that I just jumped into? Could it be that we will go back to that hole again, and return to the same position we just jumped from? After listening to Zhang's response, the Wraith asked incredulously.
"Well, that's right, in fact, this is the camouflage prohibition set by the minister-level ghost envoy, which is extremely ingenious, so that all the ghosts who enter here will think that the opening above their heads is the entrance that they just entered, if I don't have the spiritual memory of the stilted ghosts, they will also think that it is really just an entrance, and the real exit should be one of the other eight caves." Zhang Su nodded and replied with a smile.
"Big brother, do you mean that the hole above our heads is not the hole we just jumped from? What the hell is going on? After Zhang Su answered, the wraith seemed to be even more ignorant, and asked puzzledly.
"Well, from the moment we jumped in, we had already fallen under the special prohibition here, which reversed our senses, so we mistakenly thought that we fell from the hole above, but in fact, we slipped down from the third cave on our left hand, and the hole above our heads is the secret passage to the lair of the Cool Snorer, and it is also the path used by the tall soul ghost who is the envoy of the Nine Temples to keep an eye on the Cool Snorer." Zhang Su explained carefully.
"Reversing the senses? This seems to be somewhat similar to the realm illusion of Yan Chang. After Zhang Su explained, the wraith seemed to remember someone and spoke.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the camouflage prohibition here is a domain illusion, and it is a domain illusion cast at the level of a ghost king, if the people who enter here don't find the exit of the illusion here, let alone find it
When you get to that secret passage, you will most likely be trapped here for the rest of your life. Zhang Su nodded in confirmation.
"The realm illusion of the ghost king? That's terrible! Now that the eldest brother already knows the trick of breaking through this illusion and the entrance to the secret passage, let's hurry up now, go early and return early, and leave this underground ghost cave as soon as possible, I don't know why, I always feel that this ghost cave is dark, even if I can see the surroundings with my soul eye, it also gives people a particularly uncomfortable feeling, it seems to be depressing, and it doesn't seem to be, in short, it doesn't give me a very good feeling. After Zhang Su confirmed, the wraith exclaimed, and after the exclamation, it seemed that he was in a low mood again, and said in a deep voice.
"Uncomfortable? Maybe it's the first time I've gone underground, and I'm not very used to the environment here, and I also have a feeling of depression, but it's okay, let's go through the secret passage, if the overturned ghost is really hiding in the snoring ghost cave like the tall ghost remembers, then I will soon be able to detect its soul power fluctuations, if not, then I will leave immediately, and nothing will happen. Zhang Su thought that the low mood of the wraith was because he didn't adapt to the dark environment underground, so he didn't care too much, and comforted with a smile.
After being comforted by Zhang Su, the Wraith also blamed his sensory problems on his lack of adaptation to the underground environment, and disappeared in Zhang Su's soul, and fell silent again, no longer disturbing Zhang Su's next actions, but secretly helping Zhang Su to continue to be vigilant about the movements around him to prevent ghosts from suddenly appearing.
Seeing that the wraith no longer spoke, Zhang Su also started his next action, according to his understanding of the realm illusion in the crypt, he jumped directly towards the big cave at the mouth of the well above his head, and then, the two soul hands grabbed the upper edge of the wellhead, as if he had reached the edge of a high upturned step, and after he grabbed the steps with his hand, suddenly, the wellhead seemed to have been reversed, and the wellhead that was obviously upward suddenly became a horizontal hole, so that Zhang Su's entire soul fell sideways inside.
"Sure enough, it's a realm illusion, it doesn't seem that the position of this cave is reversed, but the moment I caught it, my sense of gravity and direction returned to normal, it's really a magical move, if this is the move of the tall foot ghost, I think I have to burn it with the stele soul tuo and study it slowly." When the soul fell sideways into the hole, Zhang Su quickly got up from the hole and shook his two soul hands, as if he was very fond of this realm illusion that could affect the soul senses, and had an urge to get it.
However, impulsiveness is always impulsive, Zhang Su's current purpose is to go deep into the ghost cave to track down the overturned ghost, and he doesn't have time to put too much effort into this realm illusion, so after thinking about it, he tightened his mind again, walked slowly along the cave passage to the inside, and carefully paid attention to the situation in the cave, so as to avoid any more forbidden traps being accidentally triggered.
After walking for a while, Zhang Su felt in the cave that there were many soul and ghost soul powers around him and outside the passage, some were only at the level of ghasts, some had reached the level of little ghosts, and even more so the soul power was already at the level of ghosts.
Those ghosts didn't notice his soul at all, as if he didn't have any objections at all, Zhang Su knew that this was the entire passage that was given the illusion ban of that realm, so that the outside world couldn't find out the situation inside the passage at all, and this passage was going deep into the power of the snoring ghost little by little, like a tiny needle piercing into the rough skin of an elephant without being discovered.
