Chapter 211: Spirits in the Underground Palace
Before the monster had finished evolving, it was slashed out by my sword, and I couldn't help but let out a roar of rage. It waved its countless arms and was about to rush at me, the one who started it.
Hu Jingnan's eyes narrowed, and he raised the knife in his hand to face the monster. Unexpectedly, the monster had just taken a step, and it stopped in place like a robot that had been pressed the pause button. Hu Jingnan didn't know what trick it was doing, so he didn't dare to step forward easily, for fear of falling into an ambush.
Huang Laoba is not afraid of the heavens and the earth, and he is afraid of everything, which is not much different from the temperament of the "Pingtou brother". He waved "Open Mountain" and ran towards the monster, Hu Jingnan didn't have time to remind Huang Laoba to be careful, so he had to follow and sweep the formation for Huang Laoba.
But when they walked up to the monster, they were dumbfounded, because the monster had no breath at all, as if it was "dead". Huang Laoba cautiously reached out and poked the monster's thigh muscles, and the firm touch made Huang Laoba's heart skip a beat, and he jumped back.
Hu Jingnan thought that Huang Laoba had been hit, and he didn't even think that waving his hand at the monster was a knife. The sword qi filled the void, and before it reached the monster's body, the force it carried "blew" the monster into eight petals. The severed arm and stump of the monster fell to the ground and immediately turned into ashes.
As soon as the howling north wind in the winter passed, the monster's body was blown away without a trace. Hu Jingnan, Huang Laoba, Bai Lingsu, and Python Osmanthus turned their heads to stare at me like ghosts, to be precise, staring at the life-killing sword in my hand.
It's unbelievable, this sword is simply beyond the scope of what this world should be. With such a killer weapon in hand, there are several people in the world who can be defeated. Hu Jingnan thought to himself in his heart, and felt that it would be impossible for him to knock me down under this sword with all his strength.
So Hu Jingnan's expression changed a little when he looked at me, and he really raised me to the same level. The respect for me in the past was just from the super strength of the ghost master. It's not so much respect as respect for juniors. It's different now, he's seen my improved strength, and his attitude towards me has completely reversed.
I raised the sword in my hand, not too surprised by the result. I think I was in the Qingling Cave Heaven, and after ten years of practicing a sword, I practiced this trick "Sword Swinging Technique".
This "swinging sword technique" is the most powerful move in the thirty-six sword tricks of Interception, and the power is naturally extraordinary, not to mention that the monster can't parry. I suspect that even if the immortal is first-class, if he doesn't hide from me, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.
When the crisis is resolved, it is still necessary to launch the "Soul Binding Array". Everyone alternated positions and activated the Soul Binding Circle again.
Without the three murders of the Zheng family and the thorns of the late stage of the eight Yang Gods, where would the remaining minions resist the invasion of the "Spirit Binding Array". It only took less than five minutes for these people's Yin Gods, Yang Gods, and Dao Practices to be refined into nothingness.
Now they are just a bunch of ordinary people, and they can't even cast the most basic hurting spells. That's only half of the transformation of them, and I'll have to take care of the rest. Looking at the dozens of people left on the ground, my head hurts. What a task this must be, it's not as easy as killing a monster of the Zheng family's three murders.
Under Huang Laoba's almost sympathetic gaze, I came to the black-robed people who collapsed to the ground one after another, took off the hats on their heads one by one, and then drew a forgetful charm on their eyebrows.
After more than an hour, I felt a little numb in my arms, and then all the gods and cultists were planted with "forgetfulness charms". Looking at those dull eyes, a perverted sense of accomplishment rose in my heart.
"From today on, forget your identity in the Divine Cult, forget all the things about the Divine Cult, forget all the cultivation exercises, forget all the means of harming people, forget..."
"From today on, be a kind person, be a useful person to society, be a positive person..."
After giving all the orders, I pointed my sword and chanted the mantra to catalyze the effect of the "Forget Worries Talisman". One by one, the lights lit up, and everyone seemed to have been reborn, forgetting everything in the past and starting another life.
Seeing the black-robed people lining up to go out next to each other, I couldn't help but feel in my heart that I was really too kind, and I was simply a "virgin". I don't know if my "forgetfulness charm" will rob her old man's job in the underworld.
I've given these people a chance to do it all over again, so who can give me a chance to do it all over again? If it weren't for the cultivation of the Tao, I wouldn't have opened the life of "lonely and widowed", and I wouldn't have been infected with so many things. Maybe, now he and Tang Yaxi are in the ivory tower of the university, falling in love carefree, getting married and having children in two years, and living an ordinary life.
Sometimes I really don't understand people who aspire to be "good", people who want to "stand out from the crowd". Watching them fight endlessly for fame and profit, brothers turn against each other, and father and son become enemies. In the end, what do you get but those things outside of your body? There is not a feeling of emptiness in my heart. In order to fill this empty heart, he intensified his efforts, became more enthusiastic about fame, fortune and wealth, and fell into an endless circle.
It's better to be an ordinary person, working from 9 to 5 and having your own little life. Drink tea when you are idle, go on a picnic trip with your family, and live a comfortable life.
Okay, my thoughts are a little far away, let's get down to business.
After all the idlers were gone, I asked Hu Jingnan and them to breathe a little, because the real battle was coming
Finish. I have a strong premonition that what will happen next is bound to be a vicious battle.
Half an hour later, everyone was back to their peak. So each of them took his weapon in his hand and followed me into the corridor leading to the underground palace.
"Young master, it's not easy here, look at this road, it seems to have been built in the era of the gods. You see, there are no chisel marks on this stone wall at all, but "seal marks", and only ancient magic weapons can smash such traces. There are small reinforcement runes left in this trace, which can keep the entire mausoleum corridor from collapsing for thousands of years. ”
Hu Jingnan is worthy of being an old monster who has lived a lot of years, and through the characteristics of Yongdao, he can recognize the age of the construction of the tomb at a glance, and it is actually the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
When I heard Hu Jingnan say this, I couldn't help but express my judgment. Hu Jingnan laughed when he heard this, and told me that my judgment was biased. Then he gave me a brief introduction to the development of the mausoleum and the characteristics of the mausoleum in each era.
After listening to it, I suddenly realized that it was after the Ming Dynasty that large stone tombs were popular, and most of the brick and wood structures were used during the period from the Han to the Ming Dynasty. As for before the Qin and Han dynasties, there were civil structures and stone tombs, which are similar to the one in front of us. Different periods have different characteristics, but they are not absolute. The mausoleums of the same period, the difference between the north and the south is also very large. Therefore, it is extremely unscientific to judge the age of a mausoleum based on building materials alone.
"Oh? Science, this old fox still understands science. Well! He also understands mausoleums. I looked at Hu Jingnan's eyes changed a little, how did I feel that this old fox seemed to have robbed the tomb, otherwise how could he know so carefully. If it can be explained by living for a long time and being knowledgeable, it is not impossible. But experience, experience is not something you read in books, but you have actually done it. So I dare to conclude that Hu Jingnan is a veteran tomb robber.
Hu Jingnan saw that I kept staring at his face, so he asked me what was wrong, if there was something wrong. I was pulled back to my senses by his question, and hurriedly said that it was okay, and continued to walk deeper into the corridor. Hu Jingnan felt a little inexplicable, but he didn't ask me again, he had already attracted his attention from this mausoleum.
After walking for half an hour, a group of five of us came to the arch. Hu Jingnan saw two strange ancient characters on the door at a glance, and he sighed in surprise, as if he was a little incredulous.
I asked Hu Jingnan if he knew the above two words, Hu Jingnan nodded, and he said with great certainty: "These two words are the ancient characters of the fox clan, and they were passed down in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The fox script that was cracked by Wuchang in Linchi last time was derived from this ancient script. Hu also learned this word with Wuchang after returning from Linchi last time, but some words can only be understood but not spoken. ”
As for the meaning of these two words, Hu guessed that it should be 'Jida'. But it seems unlikely, after all, that person is one of the ancestors of my fox clan. It is also the first nine-tailed sky fox since the beginning of the canonization of gods. Even if he had committed an unforgivable mistake back then, he would not have been buried in such a humble place. ”
"And if it was really her body buried here, then the layout here would be too child's play. Not to mention trapping her old man's body, even the remnant soul can't be trapped. Maybe Hu thought about it too much, or maybe he misunderstood the meaning of these two words. ”
After Hu Jingnan finished speaking, he still looked pensive, he stared at the two ancient fox characters, as if he was enchanted. I saw clearly from the sidelines that Hu Jingnan, who has always been old and serious, actually showed a trace of madness and greed in his eyes. This made me feel alarmed, and even a little wary of him.
After a long time, Hu Jingnan retracted his gaze, his face regained his composure, and with a big wave, he let everyone go in with him. I felt that Hu Jingnan looked at the ancient characters on the arch for a while, and it seemed to become a little strange. But I really can't say what is wrong for a while, it's just a warning omen.
As a cultivator, I naturally didn't ignore the spiritual signs in my heart, so after they all entered, I slowly followed behind them. When passing through the arch, I thought about it and left a "Twelve Chengong Divine Charm Talisman" and a "Demon Suppression Talisman" on the door just in case.
Entering the tomb, together with Hu Jingnan, they were shocked by the symbols, bronze coffins and blood floating slaughter of the tomb. As the saying goes, the layman looks at the lively insider, and Hu Jingnan recognized this pattern at a glance, which was actually an ancient "witchcraft".
The symbols on the walls and floors of the tomb connected the bronze coffin and the blood floating slaughter, as if forming a witch array. And according to Hu Jingnan's speculation, the layout of the entire tomb is to suppress the contents of the bronze coffin. At the same time, this tomb also has a power of abrasion that is only aimed at the owner of the bronze coffin.
Thousands of years have passed, and the witch array has ceased to function, but the one in the bronze coffin has not yet been destroyed, which shows how powerful it was during its lifetime.
Now the owner of the bronze coffin is about to wake up from this thousand-year-old mausoleum and break out of the coffin, bringing disaster or gospel to the world. I am afraid that the former is the majority, otherwise it would not have been suppressed by the ancients for thousands of years.
After Hu Jingnan's analysis, he actually knocked down everyone and wanted to open the bronze coffin. Everyone was stunned, didn't they just say that the things in this coffin were not good stubble, how could they release it again.
I'm a fairy, something that hasn't been wiped out for thousands of years, what kind of existence is that, I'm afraid that a single look can knock out the five of us here.
Hu Jingnan saw that everyone looked disagree, so he persuaded again: "Don't worry, everyone, this."
The contents have been worn out by the Witch Array for thousands of years. Even if it was powerful thousands of years ago, it should be almost polished now. Otherwise, after the witch array stops, it will be able to break out of the coffin. Moreover, in its capacity, it also cooperated with the Divine Cult and coveted a few demons, which showed that it was not strong enough to be relegated, and it had fallen to this extent. Therefore, we should completely destroy it while it is still weak. ”
Huang Laoba, Python Osmanthus and Bai Lingsu have always looked at Hu Jingnan's horse, and after listening to Hu Jingnan's explanation, they strongly supported Hu Jingnan's decision. Even if I don't agree, I don't have much to say about four votes against one. It can only be defaulted.
However, since I entered the tomb, I have not left Hu Jingnan, and I was surprised to find that Hu Jingnan is indeed a little different from usual. Especially after everyone promised him to open the bronze coffin, the old fox's eyes actually showed a feeling of impatience.
"It's weird!"
I thought to myself, so I avoided the crowd and wandered around the tomb. It seems that I am curious to visit the tomb, but in fact I am doing "back hand". Every ten steps, I threw down a bean the size of a sesame seed. As soon as there is a bad change in the preparation of things, immediately cast the "Funeral Flowers and Beans" array.
This "burial flower and bean" array has a miraculous effect on ancient corpses, evil corpses, and all kinds of corpses. Even if there is a corpse living in the bronze coffin, I am afraid that it can be fixed on the spot. As for how long it can be fixed, it depends on the will of God.
I quietly arranged everything, and Hu Jingnan and the others were also ready to open the coffin. Just as they were about to step forward, I suddenly remembered the "Blood Floating Massacre" and hurriedly stopped them. Hu Jingnan's face changed slightly, and his face was a little ugly and asked me: "I don't know the young master, what are your orders?" ”
The voice was very depressing, and even Python Guihua, who had always been nervous, could hear that something was wrong with Hu Jingnan. And when I heard it in my ears, it confirmed what I just thought, Hu Jingnan really had a problem. I didn't reply to Hu Jingnan's question, but lowered my head and quietly opened my eyes and looked at Hu Jingnan. At this glance, the pupils were constricted.
I saw a slightly illusory face attached to Hu Jingnan's face, it was a woman's face, more beautiful than any woman I had ever seen before. Or it can't be described as beautiful, it's all a blasphemy against this face. It's just that it appears in this tomb in this way, and under the eerie and terrifying background, it is extraordinarily infiltrating. That beauty has become a horror.
"Hu Jingnan" saw me staring at him, but he didn't speak, and just wanted to ask me what was wrong. only to find that several old friends around him were away from him as fast as possible. Hu Jingnan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but this opening was a female voice.
The woman's voice was ethereal and ethereal, very pleasant to the ear, but to the four of us, it sounded like the sound of death. Hu Jingnan was also frightened by his own voice, and he pinched the trick with one hand, trying to figure out what was going on.
However, Hu Jingnan was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body. A strong feeling of sleepiness came into his mind, and he actually fainted in front of his eyes.
In our eyes, it was Hu Jingnan who was completely possessed by that woman's face. Huang Laoba and the other three slowly moved closer to me, and looked vigilantly at the possessed Hu Jingnan.
"Young master, look at Seventh Brother He..."
"Eighth child, Hu Jingnan should have hit the evil spirit. No, it should be said that he was possessed by an evil spirit. This evil spirit is really not simple, and his Taoism may far surpass that of us people, otherwise Hu Jingnan would not have been recruited so easily. Eighth, don't be impulsive for a while, and follow my orders. Maybe this evil spirit has no malicious intent, and you don't provoke it. Let's see what it wants to do, and if it's not coming for us, try not to get into a conflict with it..."
"Others, too, don't act rashly, everything is subject to my orders. Of course, if I am possessed by an evil spirit for a while, you will have to find another way..."
My brain was racing, acting as a think tank among the people, giving them orders not to interfere and not to act.
When everyone heard this, they responded to it, and I am now their backbone.
Just when the four of us were standing still, ready to brake with static, the Hu Jingnan moved. It turned around and walked directly towards the Blood Floating Slaughter, slashing at the Blood Floating Slaughter with the Grass Knife in its hand.
Before the He Dao reached the bronze trunk, the Blood Floating Slaughter erupted with a bloody light, blocking the He Dao from entering. And the "Hu Jingnan", who was possessed by the evil spirit, let this blood light shine, and even let out a painful moan, it seemed to be very afraid of the blood slaughter. This made my eyes light up, as if I had found the weakness of the evil spirit.
As soon as "Hu Jingnan" was illuminated by the blood, he took the initiative to collect the knife, and the blood float was no longer threatened, and returned to its usual appearance.
"Hu Jingnan" circled around the bloody slaughter, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, it turned to stare at us, a strange smile on its lips. We were startled by its smile and took half a step back.
As soon as the evil spirit saw us retreating, it manipulated Hu Jingnan to fly up, came to a place less than three steps in front of us, and stretched out his hand to point at Huang Laoba.
"You, go and break the Blood Floating Massacre, or die!"
Huang Laoba was pointed at by the evil spirit, even with intimidation, but without the slightest fear. His eyes flickered, not knowing what the hell he was thinking.
