After observing outside for a while, Gu Ming confirmed that there was no one in the temple, and then walked in.

The temple is not big, and it has collapsed in half.

It was empty, not even a candlestick remained, except for a statue sitting on the high platform in the center.

However, the statue is incomplete.

In terms of style, the statue is wearing a suit of armor, which should be the image of the enshrined general.

Gu Ming looked around, and then his thoughts moved, and he began to show his discernment.

There is only one door to enter and exit this temple, so how could the people from the Western Regions who entered this temple before disappear out of thin air?

The only possibility is that this temple must have hidden mysteries and caves.

Sure enough, the scan soon found a secret door, behind a raised platform behind the statue.

This secret door was rather hidden, and it looked like it should have had some sort of mechanism in the past.

I don't know if it's been destroyed or if it's been damaged naturally for too long, the mechanism has failed, just push it with your hand, and a small entrance will be revealed.

A row of narrow stairs spirals into the dark depths.

There is a sense of mystery.

How did those people from the Western Regions find such a hidden place?

Could it be another secret stronghold?

Gu Ming stood outside and thought for a while, and then carefully observed for a while, but found no traces of people or other organs, before he bent down and stepped on the steps and walked down slowly.

The steps were spiral-shaped, and after about seven or eight turns, a faint light came into view.

At this time, Gu Ming stopped and once again used his discerning skills with all his might...... The beauty of this skill is that within the range, no slight fluctuations can hide his perception.

Although the results of perception are not as intuitive as those seen by the eyes, the effect is much greater.

It is said that seeing is believing, and hearing is false.

In fact, what the eyes see is not necessarily true, especially in the world of Liaozhai, there are many demons and monsters, which are ever-changing, how can mortals be able to see through it with the naked eye?

Not long after, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning.

Because he sensed that there was a relatively closed space below, in addition to the two men from the Western Regions who had been following him before, there was another strange aura, like a person but not a person, like a ghost but not a ghost.

In this way, this organization is really ...... Evil!

Since you have encountered it, you can't just destroy it?

Of course, Gu Ming is not conceited or blind, but confident.

Judging from the other party's breath just now, there is no problem at all with one enemy and three enemies.

Then catch a turtle in an urn!

Below is a stone chamber, about a dozen zhang square.

There were some wine, food, and some miscellaneous items piled up inside, and it seemed that it was really a secret stronghold of the other party.

In response to the old saying: three holes of cunning rabbits.

In the stone room, the three of them were sitting together and plotting.

Two of them were men from the Western Regions, and the other was dressed in black robes, with a withered face and a dark, wrinkled, and dry skin, like withered old tree bark.

The whole person looks like an air-dried mummy, and there is a faint wisp of black gas between breaths, which is even more weird.

The man did not speak Persian, and the other person also spoke in the same Central Plains dialect.

It sounded like the words of the black-robed strange man were even stranger than those of the two bearded men, dull and dry, as if words came out of his stomach.

The reason why this person's aura is so strange is because...... He's not human anymore!

Nor are they ghosts.

It is the living dead in the legends of the rivers and lakes.

In the rivers and lakes, it is generally believed that the living dead originated from the area of Xiangxi and southern Xinjiang, and belonged to a kind of existence that combined poison, Gu, and witchcraft.

It is said that this is an extreme form of cultivation.

Some wizards or Gu masters are seriously injured, or they are about to run out of life, and they don't want to leave the world, so they use secret techniques to refine their bodies.

Few people know the specific method to the outside world, but according to rumors, the living dead are actually a combination of poisonous corpses and Gu worms.

It is equivalent to refining oneself into a humanoid poison Gu, and the soul and body are fused to achieve the purpose of stealing the sky and changing the sun.

Because after becoming the living dead, he is between humans and ghosts, and skillfully avoids the constraints of the laws of the yin and yang worlds.

However, this self-inflicted approach is just as disadvantageous.

First, the success rate is extremely low, although there are legends of the living dead in the rivers and lakes, but there are not many who have really seen them.

Second, because it is extremely evil, once it is discovered by people in the righteous path, most of them will take action to destroy it.

"Who?"

When the three of them were discussing secretly, suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came, which startled the three of them to shout together, and at the same time they were on full alert and ready to make a move.

"Unexpectedly, there are three big rats hidden in the ground."

Gu Ming walked slowly, looked at the three of them and said sarcastically.

"Twitter Gollum ......"

One of the men from the Western Regions didn't know what to swear, and raised his hand and began to attack.

"Whew~"

A basin-sized flame roared towards Gu Ming.

Gu Ming didn't dodge or dodge, and with a slight wave, the flame instantly shattered, and sparks flew everywhere.

At the same time, another man from the Western Regions attacked at the same time as the living dead.

The underground stone chamber is not big, but now it is lively, and it can be called a screen full of magic and splendor......

One of the two men from the Western Regions controlled the fire and the other controlled the wind, and the offensive was continuous.

And the living dead man in the black robe, the attack method was even more strange, and he actually summoned a dense wave of scorpions, centipedes, snakes and other poisonous insects.

These are not ordinary poisonous insects, but Gu.

The living dead themselves are humanoid Gu, and it is even more handy to control Gu worms.

Replaced by an ordinary person, in the face of the overwhelming attacks of the three people, I am afraid that I will kneel in a wave.

Of course, Gu Ming has enough confidence, otherwise he wouldn't dare to swagger down to one against three.

For him, although there are three people on the other side, it is almost no different from one person, and AOE is right.

"The wind rises, the clouds surge!"

This time, Gu Ming is no longer a simple storm, but a storm.

To put it simply, it is to manipulate wind and water at the same time to form the effect of clouds and mist.

Although his current level has not been improved, and he is still at the Xie Yuan level, it does not mean that his strength has always stayed at the beginning.

As the days went by, Gu Ming had begun to realize that in addition to the improvement of his strength, it was also related to his own fame.

The composition of fame is complex, such as fame, fame, social status, merit, ...... And so on and so forth.

As his fame accumulates and improves, so does his strength.

The wind and clouds are rising, and the jackals are frightened!

The entire stone chamber was filled with clouds and mist, which suddenly made the two men from the Western Regions and the living dead seem to have fallen into a quagmire, not only was it difficult to cast the spell, but even their actions were greatly restricted.

"Oh no, this kid is a master!"

Of the three, the living dead were the most uncomfortable.

Because he no longer belongs to the real human race, but to evil things.

And Gu Ming's power is the righteousness of heaven and earth, and he is the nemesis of the world's demons.

Therefore, although this guy's strength is stronger than those two Western Regions people, he is the most injured at this moment.

Most of the poisonous Gu released have already died, and the rest are scattering and fleeing...... However, the entire stone chamber is full of clouds, where can it escape?

The only way to do this is the steps that lead to the secret door.

However, Gu Ming stood at the steps, sealing all the retreats.

The purpose is obvious: catch them all!

"Fight with this kid!"

One of the men from the Western Regions was desperate and yelled with a hideous face.

It's a pity that the earth-shattering sound of the slogan is useless.

Just as a person is stuck in a quagmire, a futile struggle only accelerates the loss of life.

Gu Ming had already been determined to destroy these three guys, so he was full of firepower, in addition to the two basic skills of Exit Chengzhang and Wonderful Brushwork, he also took the time to use the sword style.

If you want to talk about the sword style, Gu Xiucai used to know a few hands, but it was not a Jianghu sword style, to be precise, it should be called a sword dance.

Sword dance, like qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, belongs to an elegant skill, which has been very popular since ancient times.

In the history of Ming Gu's previous life, the most well-known sword dancer was none other than Gongsun Auntie.

After Du Fu watched the Gongsun Lady Dancer, he once gave a song "Watching the Disciples of Gongsun Lady Dance Sword Weapon Walking", and praised it: "In the past, there was a beautiful Gongsun family, and a sword dance moved in all directions. The viewer is depressed like a mountain, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time......"

Of course, sword dancing is sword dancing, and actual combat is another concept.

Although Gu Ming has not formally learned the sword style, with his own speed, body and strength, he can completely reach the realm of winning without moves.

If you don't come out of the sword, you can't help it, and if you don't come out of the sword, you will hurt the enemy!

The magic AOE, coupled with the physical attack, knocked the other three into a daze and scarred.

In the middle of the tea, the living dead were the first to fall, and their heads were in different places.

Now, he became a real dead man.

It didn't take long for the two men from the Western Regions to break off and fall in a pool of blood......

This is the end of a scuffle!

When the smoke and dust in the stone room dissipated, Gu Ming raised his eyes and looked around, his face couldn't help but move...... It stands to reason that the fight between the four of them just now was so fierce, even if this stone chamber was strong enough, it would not be damaged in the slightest.

Now it seems that, except for a little mess on the ground, the stone carvings in the four directions are not damaged at all.

Puzzled, Gu Ming couldn't help but swing his sword at the stone wall and slashed at it......

"Boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the stone chamber.

An invisible force surged back, causing Gu Ming to involuntarily take a few steps back, and his arm was a little sore.

At this time, Gu Ming realized that this stone room was not simple.

The surrounding stone walls are not made of special materials, but are carved from the original mountain stones.

Then, it can only be said that this stone chamber must have some kind of special protective measures.

Gu Ming subconsciously glanced around, and he didn't seem to find anything special except for the messy ground.

I don't know if it wasn't there before, or if it was taken away by these people from the Western Regions.

Even if it is taken away, it must have nothing to do with the arrangement of the stone chamber, otherwise the stone wall would have been cracked a long time ago.

So, Gu Ming once again showed his discernment and carefully explored this stone room to see what secrets it hid.

The result is very strange, the effect of seeing is no different from the effect of seeing with the eyes.

That is, there is no peculiarity at all.

In this way, Gu Ming felt that there was a problem here, and there must be some big secret hidden.

Maybe those people in the Western Regions used this as a stronghold to uncover the secrets here......
