The ancient book "Bamboo Book Chronicle": "In the thirty-fifth year of Wuyi, King Ji of Zhou fell to the west and captured twenty Zhai kings. "This Bamboo Book Chronicle": "In the thirty-second year of Wuding, the ghost party was killed, second to Jing. "Yi Jiji": "Earthquake and ghost slaying prescription will be rewarded to a big country for three years." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "The ghost country is in the north of the corpse of the second negative." ”

Lao Dao scratched the thinning hair on the top of his head and straightened it into a walnut-sized bun, and said, "I want you to promise me that I will let that fool survive!" And then don't get him into this muddy water again、、、"

"Gotta get it! Can you always say something reliable? Shen Yuan only felt that this old way looked a little imbecile.

Lao Dao's eyes narrowed: "Dao Ye has accepted your law seal!" Even if it sells you half a life, this trip will definitely help you with all its might! Why can't I do something for you? ”

Shen Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "I said yes!" I'm not even sure if I'll be able to see the sun tomorrow, and I'm counting on you to save your life! You let me take care of Liu Lang's kid now, how do you say I promise you? I don't even know where he is! ”

Lao Dao narrowed his eyes and stared at Shen Yuan: "Don't worry about anything else, since Lao Dao said that he wants to protect you, he will naturally do it, you say that you will help Dao Ye protect Liu Lang in the future!" ”

Shen Yuanhu looked at the old way of oxtail suspiciously, and his heart was full of total---This old way is not crazy!" Lao Tzu is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, how can he be able to protect what Liu Lang? Something 、、、、、、 wrong though、、、

The old man bared his teeth and endured for a long time, and suddenly hung his head like a deflated ball.

Shen Yuan's heart churned, but he still patiently watched what tricks this old way was going to play.

Lao Dao sighed dejectedly: "Count the ball!" Say it all and count the balls! ”

Shen Yuan nodded and motioned for Lao Dao to continue.

Lao Dao said: "The second elder is a madman, can you see this?" ”

Shen Yuan defaulted to --- person who can turn himself into a living corpse is not a madman, then hell!

"But do you know how long she's lived?"

Shen Yuan shook his head.

"She's older than your grandfather!"

"What?" Shen Yuan was shocked! Immediately relieved, this guy can borrow someone else's corpse to survive, even if Lao Dao tells him now that the second elder is an alien, Shen Yuan has to sum it up. After all, Shen Yuan has seen too many strange and strange things now.

Lao Dao pinched his withered yellow beard and continued: "No one knows whether this guy is a man or a woman, and who his real body is, and I'm afraid it's not clear inside Xuanyimen." Over the years, this guy has been wandering around the Mongolian area and has been eyeing the Heavenly Ghost Cave. It seems that she knows some information in the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and there are some mountain gates that are keeping an eye on her, but after so many years, she has not made any progress. Slowly, no one cared about her, but who knew that she had made such a big move this time by borrowing the hand of the Great Black Temple! ”

Shen Yuan lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "I think she is a poor person!" She was afraid of death、、、 she said she wanted to go into the Heavenly Ghost Cave to find a way to live! ”

Lao Dao sneered: "Can you also believe her words?" Those who believed in her would have died a long time ago. You might as well ask those who died in the Great Black Temple! ”

Shen Yuan's face was a little unnatural: "That's all the handiwork of the Five Immortals Sect、、、"

Lao Dao squinted at Shen Yuan: "Do you want to put aside the involvement?" Do you feel realistic? ”

Shen Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Then I don't regret it!" If you see the innocent people of the Skillful Gate who have been ruined to death by them, you will do the same! ”

Lao Dao sighed and said, "Innocent? How many people in the world are innocent? Alas、、、 the death of people is great, so I will not mention it. ”

Shen Yuan asked, "Daoist chief has to ask me to promise to keep Liu Lang safe, but don't you know what kind of situation I am now?" How can I have that ability! ”

Lao Dao smiled: "Not now, it's not too late to have it later!" ”

"Good! I promise the chief! No matter when, as long as I have this ability, I will try my best to ensure that Liu Lang is safe and secure from this chaos. Let him go back to Qingcheng Mountain with you to live a stable life in the back mountains of Qingcheng Mountain, and give you a pension and send you to the end! What do you think? ”

Lao Dao's face was surprisingly calm, he looked at Shen Yuan's eyes calmly, and said softly: "A gentleman is a promise!" Jade Connoisseur、、、 you have to remember your promise to Dao Ye tonight、、、、、、"

Shen Yuan was silent.

The night was heavy, and the night in the desert was even more desolate and quiet, and the old man of Oxtail whispered to Shen Yuan the intention of the second elder that he had calculated. Shen Yuan was stunned!

There has not been a living person in the Heavenly Ghost Cave since ancient times, this is the consensus. But what about the dead?

The second elder is now a living dead, and she wants to live! The Great Black Temple has been secretly controlled by her for so many years, and if there is any secret in the Great Black Temple, she would have found out it a long time ago. She designed to snatch the dragon ball in the hands of the fox immortal family, forced the Khitan remnants to hand over the Dinghai pearl, and snatched the golden arrow found by Shen Yuan! It must be all to prepare for entering the Heavenly Ghost Cave, what secrets did she master of the Heavenly Ghost Cave? It's very elusive.

But her actions after meeting Liu Lang made Lao Dao find a little way!

"Does the Dao Elder mean that the Second Elder didn't plan to enter the Heavenly Ghost Cave at all?" Shen Yuan said in surprise.

Lao Dao shook his head: "I can't see it yet, but she kidnapped my foolish son, and she revealed a little intention." My disciple must have been a retreat she had prepared! According to what you said, she was severely injured by the fox fairy family and destroyed her body, and she has no ability to take other people's bodies. But it's not necessarily in the Heavenly Ghost Cave, if Dao Ye is not mistaken, she should have fancied the body of the girl in the Formation Gate! ”

Shen Yuan was excited, and couldn't help but look at Liu Wen, who was sleeping not far away.

Lao Dao continued: "Let her change a lot, but have you ever heard of any evil that can exist in a corpse for a long time? She must have an intact body before she can discern her consciousness to manipulate the actions of the other corpses. ”

Shen Yuanxin said: "I know a yarn!" I've only been in the world for a few days! ”

Lao Dao still said to himself: "She didn't know what she was going to do, but the number of roads now can be calculated." It turned out that the second elder was forced by the fox fairy family to go into the Heavenly Ghost Cave to find a way to live, and the female doll named Liu Wen was the body she chose. The magic circle that the jade connoisseur placed outside the gate of the Heavenly Ghost Cave should be a unique array! No one can touch it, and it is very likely that the entrance to the Heavenly Ghost Cave will be destroyed after the formation is triggered, this is the usual trick of your jade connoisseurs! Four or two thousand pounds, will always hammer nails in the most uncomfortable places of the enemy! ”

Shen Yuan scratched his head and felt secretly proud in his heart.

Lao Dao continued: "It's a coincidence that Dao Ye bumped in, and Liu Lang's child was sniffed out by her, and since ancient times, the soulless body has been an excellent material for taking away. Where would she miss it? So 、、、、、、"

Lao Dao closed his mouth, and there was a hint of panic on his face.

Shen Yuan urged: "Dao Chief continued, let's think of some countermeasures、、、、、、

Suddenly! Shen Yuan felt that there seemed to be a strange feeling behind him, and hurriedly turned his head, only to find that he didn't know when the guide who distributed the ghost grass soup to everyone stood quietly like a ghost about two meters behind him!

Shen Yuan immediately sweated on his back! stared blankly at this strange man with cloudy pupils and a rickety body.

The guide's chest heaved slightly, as if it were breathing like a living person. But Shen Yuan felt that he was not human, and Shen Yuan couldn't feel that he had a trace of the breath of a living person, no! I can't feel the breath of his presence at all! He is standing there, but it seems that there is nothing, is this a ghost?

The guide walked over to the two and sat down cross-legged silently. He rolled his gray eyes, looked straight at Shen Yuan, and asked, "You have the smell of Batu's blood, what's wrong with him?" ”

Shen Yuan pinched his fingers, thought for a while, and said, "You mean that Mongolian child, right?" He stabbed one of my men and fled on horseback, and my men let the horse go for fear of misunderstanding. The child fell and broke his bones, but now he is fine. Resting with his mother in the yurt、、、 he 、、、"

The guide listened to Shen Yuan's explanation expressionlessly, and suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Shen Yuan. Then he hesitated, and pulled out a dark silver round flask-like bottle from his bosom.

Shen Yuan and Lao Dao stared blankly at this legendary Heavenly Ghost Cave guide, which had existed for thousands of years. I saw this strange man with gray eyes put the wine jug next to Shen Yuan's feet.

The hoarse voice of the guide sounded: "I know that Batu is not dead, otherwise you would not be alive until now." ”

Shen Yuan was creepy.

The guide continued: "None of the guides who walked into this desert could get out, and Batu was the next guide. I don't want him to come in and see me、、、 you promise me one thing, and I'll get you out of this desert alive!" ”

Shen Yuan nodded subconsciously: "Please speak." ”

The guide's face, which seemed to be forever expressionless, suddenly distorted, and then said softly, "After I go out, you help me kill Batu's grandma!" ”

This sentence suddenly made Shen Yuan to Lei's scorched outside and tender inside!

Shen Yuan Ai Ai asked, "Batu is your son?" ”

The guide nodded.

Shen Yuan asked, "Then why did you kill his mother?" Isn't it 、、、?"

The guide frowned and said, "Don't ask so much! Do you say you can do it? ”

Oxtail Lao Dao squeezed his eyebrows vigorously opposite Shen Yuan, signaling Shen Yuan to hurry up and agree!

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry! I can't just say yes! ”

The guide asked in a little surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will leave you in this desert and become dried corpses?" Don't think I'm going to be afraid of that Second Elder、、、"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I'm a jade connoisseur!" I'm not going to kill people for no reason、、、、、、"

Lao Dao shook his head and was angry, could it be that this generation of jade connoisseurs has degenerated to the point where he can't even learn to deceive people?

The guide looked at Shen Yuan in surprise: "I said that the spiritual power on your body makes me feel very strange and a little familiar!" It turns out that you are the descendant of the inheritance that sealed the Heavenly Ghost Cave back then. ”

Shen Yuan nodded and asked, "Why did you kill Batu's aunt?" Since you don't want Batu to be a guide like you, let him leave the desert with his grandma! Don't worry, I have some connections in the south and abroad, and I can quietly 、、、 their mother and son."

The guide shook his head and interrupted Shen Yuan's words. said: "We are ghost cave people, and some people once called us the ghost Fang remnant clan, and we have been breeding in this desert outside the Tianghost Cave in Mobei for many years. Then the clan was divided! Many people fled to the West and disappeared, and the Heavenly Ghost Cave became more and more terrifying and weird!

The clansmen of several major clans died one after another、、、 and they also took away countless secrets of the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and in the end, only our clan was left quietly guarding this ghost desert. In my generation, there are only two people left! ”

Shen Yuan suddenly realized: "Is it you and Batu?" ”

The guide shook his head: "No! It's me and Batu's grandma! ”

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Nabatu 、、、"

"Batu's grandma、、、 my sister 、、、"

"Oh! What turned out to be your 、、、、、、? Shen Yuan almost jumped up! Grinning at the weird man in front of him! "You mean、、、 mother of your son Batu! Is it 、、、 your 、、、 sister!? ”

The man was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The three of them sat together in a daze, Shen Yuan and Oxtail looked at each other, and they had nothing to say for a while.

The guide stared at the sand in front of his knees and slowly told his story.

Countless years have passed, and the guardians of the Heavenly Ghost Cave have become more and more rare, especially after the entrance of the cave was sealed by the jade connoisseur a long time ago with a great magic circle, the remnants of the ancient ghost Fang clan began to become fewer and fewer, and gradually, even the Great Black Temple no longer paid attention to the Heavenly Ghost Cave, which was like a dead place.

In the end, there were only two guides and sisters left in the Ghost Fang clan, and the guide felt that it was time for his clan to be freed. So he discussed with his sister not to go to the desert to replace his father, he wanted to take his sister away from this desert and go out to live a living life! Live the life of an ordinary person! Because even if he goes to replace his dying father, he has no descendants left, and there are only two people left in this race, he and his sister!

My sister is the most devout believer in the Heavenly Ghost Cave, just like their dead grandma! The biggest dream is to send his man into the desert、、、 be the guide of the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and let his soul be liberated and comfortable in the Heavenly Ghost Cave after he dies!

My sister quietly stabilized him、、、 three days later! My sister boiled a pot of special ghost grass soup with the ghost grass in the desert, coaxed him to drink it、、、 and then 、、、 him lived in the yurt in a daze for two years、、、 after two years, my sister gave him an antidote.

Shen Yuan stared at the face of the guide, the face of the guide, which was full of life.

"When I woke up, I saw Batu in her arms、、、 I broke down、、、 I wanted to die, I wanted to kill Batu and his mother! But 、、、 I couldn't do it、、、 and then I 、、、 into this ghost desert! ”

Shen Yuan and Oxtail Lao Dao didn't say a word. Just quietly listening to this appalling past、、、

The guide shook his head: "Actually, I'm not sure if Batu is my child or not, I don't know what happened in those two years." She didn't explain anything to me either! Just tell me that I have a son、、、 who is an authentic Onifang clansman! Let me go into the ghost desert to replace my father with peace of mind、、、、、、"

Hearing this, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief! It doesn't seem to 、、、be the worst of what seems to happen、、、

The guide continued: "I have been here for twelve years, and my father was buried in this desert with my own hands twelve years ago. ”

Lao Dao said softly: "Then why don't you go out?" Wouldn't it be better for you to leave here with your children on your own? ”

The guide grinned: "If you enter the desert and become a guide, you are the lonely ghost in the desert!" Can't get out、、、 can't get out、、、"

Shen Yuan said: "Then if we take Batu away, will there be no more guides in the desert?" ”

The guide's cloudy pupils dimmed for a moment, and he said, "Legend has it that in the most pious era of the Heavenly Ghost Cave, this desert was ten times larger than it is now!" The heads and worshippers of all ethnic groups will come to the Heavenly Ghost Cave every year to worship the holy land, and there are twelve guides of the Ghost Cave Clan! Bring worshippers to the gate of the Heavenly Ghost Cave to offer sacrifices、、、"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but interject: "Did you take the girl to kill her in the Heavenly Ghost Cave to sacrifice?" ”

The guide pursed his lips and said coldly, "Should the Heavenly Ghost Cave in your mind be an evil altar?" ”

"Isn't it?" Shen Yuan remembered the rumors of the tragic death of the Qiaogong Sect and the rumors that he was said to have been taken captive by the Second Elder to sacrifice to the Heavenly Ghost Cave.

The guide sneered, and reached out to find a small yellow grass from his bosom.

When the old man saw it, he immediately asked, "This is the ghost grass?"

The guide nodded: "Yes, this is the ghost grass." Leaving this desert, this ghost grass will turn into an ordinary weed. ”

Shen Yuan carefully looked at the yellow-looking weeds between the dirty fingers of the guide, and recalled the bizarre dreams he had just experienced. I can't help but secretly sigh at the miracle of creation.

The old man put his hands on his sleeves and said slowly: "Since we both have something to ask for, why don't we open up and talk about it in detail?"

The guide raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the old man Ushio, "What else do you want to know?" For countless years, people who have come here have been asking for something. What do you want? ”

Shen Yuan didn't wait for Oxtail Lao Dao to speak, and preemptively said: "We don't want anything else, we just want to leave here safely." If we can help you, we will help too. But we're not going to kill you for no reason......"

The guide looked at Shen Yuan with interest: "I don't know how long the Heavenly Ghost Cave has existed, and all the people who know about the Heavenly Ghost Cave say that there is a big secret inside. Some people say that there is a way to communicate with the heavenly ghosts, some people say that there is a passage to connect the netherworld, and more people say that there is a secret of immortality inside! There are also countless treasures that have been sacrificed for thousands of years! Aren't you tempted? ”

Shen Yuan smiled: "Such a good place, why hasn't anyone who has been in for so many years come out?" Money is a good thing, but I'm not that greedy. As for immortality, what else is there to go to the netherworld...... I don't believe it at all! ”

"Hahahaha......" The guide suddenly burst out laughing, and tears flowed from his laughter. Laugh like a mad night owl with a hint of madness!

Oxtail Old Dao also shook his head, looked at Shen Yuan, who looked calm, and said, "Don't say that, the land of Kyushu." There are still some weird places, and this Heavenly Ghost Cave is a mysterious place in the north that is not weaker than the Dragon Vein Water Cave of the Five Immortal Sect. Your jade connoisseur lineage has been broken for too long, and the older the mountain gate, the more terrible the record of these strange places becomes. There's always someone to ...... From these places to get a terrifying encounter, although all sects are secretive about this, but weird is weird, there is a great horror and a big opportunity! ”

Shen Yuan shook his head, noncommittal. What he was thinking about now was to get rid of the threat of the Second Elder cleanly, and it was best to lie dormant for a while and digest everything he had gained during this time.

The guide slowly put the ghost grass between his fingers into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Shen Yuan looked at the guide in horror, afraid that he would fall asleep all of a sudden. He had just gotten rid of Ava's surveillance and hooked up with this mysterious guy, and it would be a shame if he slept with herbs!

The guide slowly chewed the ghost grass, raised his head and said, "There have not been many people who have entered this desert in the past few years, and the second elder is the most diligent. To enter the Heavenly Ghost Cave, you need to have sacrifices, and each of them varies according to your desires. Human sacrifice is just one of them, and there are many different kinds of sacrifices. The lowest ones are also innate spirit treasures, or famous magic weapons. ”

Swallowing the grass foam in his mouth with a little effort, the guide's eyes seemed to be clouded again. Then he said: "I can't leave this desert anymore, but Batu is innocent. I don't want to bury the only trace of blood of our clan in this desert anymore, our fate to serve the Heavenly Ghost Cave has come to an end, and the Heavenly Ghost Cave should let us live. ”

Shen Yuan frowned and said, "I promise you to take Batu out." Get out of here, but if his grandma doesn't agree. , then I'm ......"

"Then you are ready to die in this desert!" A hint of cruelty flashed in the guide's eyes.

"You ......" Shen Yuan's anger rose suddenly.

Oxtail Lao Dao hurriedly grabbed Shen Yuan and interjected: "Okay, good! Lao Dao promises you well! Even if his wife is unwilling, Lao Dao has a way to take this child away. Lao Dao stole him out and took him to the side of Bashu Qingcheng Mountain, and his wife couldn't find him, how about it? Lao Dao still has this credibility. ”

Shen Yuan glanced at him, and thought to himself~ As long as you can pull down the old face and be a thief, can you still have a good reputation?
