Chapter 975: The Old Man
Jiang Futing himself didn't expect this to be the reason, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that the image of that person was not so far away.
He asked out loud, "Lord Bai?" ”
"Mmmm~" The old man nodded, and he was afraid that Jiang Futing would not understand, so he lowered his voice and said: "It's the Bai Wuchang Mansion Jun of the underworld~"
"......" Jiang Futing's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was really a familiar person, his expression suddenly moved, and he asked, "His name is Bai Tang?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then spoke, and said apologetically: "My lord is angry, although you and Lord Bai have a good relationship, but the old ghost really doesn't know Lord Bai's common name~"
Jiang Futing nodded when he heard this, and when Lin Ziqing and Wang Si left, he called the old man over and asked, "You have been here for so long, have you ever heard of an artifact?" ”
When the old man saw Jiang Futing's expression, he immediately guessed, "My lord came here this time to find artifact fragments?" ”
Jiang Futing nodded when he heard this, "Well, there is chaos in the world, I can't ignore it~"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let me go and check for you, I was a ghost who was restless before, and asked around about these news, but where is the artifact, there is no result yet~"
Jiang Futing nodded, thanked him, and remembered the matter of the Cheng family's father and son, so he also asked him to check it.
After he left, Jiang Futing rubbed his heart tiredly, thinking in his heart to quickly find out the whereabouts of the artifact and the Cheng family's father and son.

"You shit!" The Jin family master's expression was ugly, and a black mist in his hand firmly wrapped around Zhu Chong's neck.
His whole toe was off the ground, his face was pale, and he couldn't help but struggle in horror, "Hmm, hmm! "Master, give me another chance!
He tugged at the black mist with both hands, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and the fear in his heart was extreme.
On the ground, the father and son of the Cheng family were tied together, looking at Zhu Chong expressionlessly, with disdain in his eyes, he deserved it! Playing with them?!
The ghost cultivators in the circle all lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the head of the Jin family.
The head of the Jin family turned cold, and threw Zhu Chong out, with a bang, swallowing blood in his mouth, and his whole body trembled.
The head of the Jin family scolded angrily: "Waste! It's useless, I sent you to other sects to train you since I was a child, just so that at this moment today, I asked you to keep an eye on Jiang Futing, who made people stupid enough to make their own decisions?!
Just because you are greedy for money, you lost this opportunity in vain, and you made such a big mess?! Zhu Chong, are you damned?! ”
When Zhu Chong heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't care about the injuries on his body, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt, and his head slammed on the ground, "Master, I was wrong, please, give me another chance!" Disciple, I will definitely do your errand well this time! ”
The suspicious look of the head of the Jin family swept over Zhu Chong, when he was still a child, he was almost starved to death, he gave him a full meal, and later sent him to other sects as a secret agent.
He squinted his fox eyes, looked at Zhu Chong carefully, and muttered for a moment, and finally saved his life.
He kept his face calm and warned in a low voice: "Zhu Chong, this is your last chance to live, if there is any more mistakes, hum!" I don't need to say it, your life is gone! ”
"Yes, yes~" Zhu Chong covered his slandered chest and kowtowed.
The head of the Jin family waved his sleeves, his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Why don't you get out of here?!" ”
"Yes, yes~" Zhu Chong hurriedly got up and ran.
He looked away again, and pointed his hand casually, "You two, keep up!" ”
"Yes~" The two demon cultivators disappeared in place in the blink of an eye.
The head of the Jin family clenched his fists, hum! If Zhu Chong hadn't ruined his plan, he would have caught Jiang Futing a long time ago, and the artifact fragments were all in hand, would he still have to be angry here?
"Drag them down for me~" The head of the Jin family waved his hand.
"Yes~" Demon Xiu took the Cheng family father and son down.
The head of the Jin family walked to his seat and smashed all the cups on the table with a wave of his hand, damn bastard!
"Check them all out for me!" The Jin family master gritted his teeth, he was bound to get the artifact fragments, he would definitely get it!
"Yes~"
————
Jiang Futing followed the old ghost through the hall, walked through the bamboo forest, and finally came to a tightly closed hall, opened the door, and invited Jiang Futing in.
When the search for someone in front of him failed, he was anxious, and the old ghost told him that there was another way.
As soon as you enter, you can see that the whole palace is splendid, and the palace is simple and elegant.
The old ghost led Jiang Futing in, Jiang Futing observed the surroundings as he walked, he didn't see what he wanted to see, so he asked the old ghost.
The old ghost smiled and said softly: "My lord, don't worry~"
He closed the door, walked to the four corners, and placed a few hedrons on top of several half-human-high pillars.
Suddenly, the tops of the pillars at the four corners shone brightly and fell to the ground.
The formation was opened, and the old ghost walked over with Jiang Futing, and saw that there was nothing on the ground, and a mirror suddenly appeared.
"My lord, this is asking the Heavenly Mirror, it used to be the treasure of the Heavenly Realm, but because of the war before, this mirror has been left in the Immortal City.
When you stand up, you will see what you think, there is not much time, and I hope that you will seize the opportunity~" After the old ghost finished speaking, he hung his head and bowed down.
Jiang Futing glanced at it and saw that the old ghost retreated and closed the door.
He stepped forward without hesitation, and the mirror, which had no reflection, dispersed in the white mist, revealing a handsome face.
Jiang Futing was taken aback, hurriedly retreated, rubbing his eyebrows, the frequency of Bai Tang's appearance in the past few days is a bit high~
Hey? How did the place he was in feel familiar?
Jiang Futing's figure flickered, and the figure in the mirror under his feet quickly disappeared.
He frowned, silently thinking about the Cheng father and son in his heart, and soon the Cheng family father and son appeared in the mirror, in a dark cave, the Cheng family father and son were tied by vines, they leaned against each other, and their eyes were closed.
"Amin!" Jiang Futing shouted, and the mirror seemed to ripple, and there were no portraits.
Hearing Jiang Futing's movements, the old ghost quickly walked in, "My lord? ”
Jiang Futing frowned, "I saw them, they were indeed tied up, but the picture flashed just now, and I didn't see where they were." ”
The old ghost saw that the adults were sad, and hurriedly said, "Can you see where they are?" ”
"It's a dark cave, and they're bound by vines~"
The old ghost pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "My lord, in the east of the surviving city, there are such countless dark caves, I will let them check it immediately~"
"Okay~" Jiang Futing nodded, his eyes unconsciously swept over the mirror, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the fact that this Heavenly Mirror could only be turned on once in a short period of time, he really wanted to see where Bai Tang was again~
As soon as they left the palace gate, they saw Lin Ziqing and Wang Sili hurriedly stepping forward, looking nervous.
Jiang Futing frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not good to reinstate the court, I don't know who spread the news that the surviving city has entered the living, and now it's all in trouble!" Lin Ziqing said.
"What?" Jiang Futing raised his feet and was about to walk forward, but was blocked by the old ghost, "My lord, you don't have to come forward in this matter, I'll do it~"
Jiang Futing's eyes fell on his face, he was silent for a moment, and nodded and said, "Okay~"
The old ghost figure hurried away.
Jiang Futing turned his eyes and asked the two: "What's the situation now?" ”
"Many ghosts have surrounded the mansion~" Wang Sili hugged his arms, his expression was very cold.
When Jiang Futing heard this, he frowned and said, "I'll take a look~"
"Futing, let's take a look at the situation first~" Lin Ziqing blocked it and shook his head disapprovingly: "I always feel that this matter is not so simple, maybe the person behind it is just to lure you out." ”
Jiang Futing was stunned, his frowning brows loosened, and he hummed without emotion.
"Did the Cheng family father and son find any news?" Wang Sili asked.
Jiang Futing shook his head and said, "They were indeed arrested, but who were arrested, but there was no news~"
A touch of irritability flashed on Lin Ziqing's handsome face, he touched his chin, and said, "I see, they are all coming for you~"
The three of them looked at each other with clear expressions, what else could they have besides the artifact fragments that could attract them?
Jiang Futing pursed his lips, and his face became solemn.
Lin Ziqing and Wang Sili did not speak.
As a result, the ghosts of the surviving city surrounded the city for three whole days, Jiang Futing's eyes swept over the faces of the dense ghosts around the mansion, numb and indifferent, he quietly went back, discussed with Lin Ziqing and Wang Sili, and left the surviving city today.
When the old ghost learned this, he begged bitterly, "My lord, I've been waiting for you for so long, I ......"
Jiang Futing's gaze fell on the old ghost's face, although he hadn't recalled it yet, but the familiarity of getting along with one person and one ghost couldn't deceive people.
After looking at it for a while, he said, "I can't come back for the time being, there are still many things for me to do, if you want, I can break the ghost contract and set you free~"
The old ghost looked sad, his eyes fell on Jiang Futing's face, thinking that he would have to spend countless lonely days in the future, but he cared more about adults than these......
He knelt down and said, "No, I'll always wait for the adults to come back~"
Jiang Futing's expression was tense, but his heart was touched, he patted the old ghost on the shoulder, used a charm and incense ash, and left the city with Lin Ziqing and Wang Si.
After leaving the city, he looked back at the huge figure on the city wall, and when he didn't know it at first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he knew that it might be his former self, this emotion in his heart was very subtle.
Jiang Futing glanced away, as if he understood the old ghost's persistence and protection, he sighed slightly in his heart, and followed Lin Ziqing and them away.
Before leaving, the old ghost gave them important news, and found many traces of demon cultivation near the cave in the east of the Immortal City.
Jiang Futing and Lin Ziqing immediately decided to go, they walked through a forest, the woods here are very strange, the trees only have trunks and no leaves, the whole bark is a kind of burnt black, the ground is covered with a thick layer of burnt black leaves, hiding all kinds of poisonous insects, the soil exudes a fishy and disgusting smell, and they are sick.
Jiang Futing and Lin Ziqing If they want to go to the dark cave, they must pass through this black forest, otherwise they will not be able to reach it at all.
They were careful to avoid the trunks of the trees that their bodies could touch, and as soon as they entered, even the air became thinner, so hot and sticky that they could hardly breathe.
"Be careful of your step~" Lin Ziqing reminded Wang Sili, looking nervous.
"Oh~" Wang Sili replied casually.
Jiang Futing was at the bottom and raised his heels.
