Chapter 713: Heavenly Secrets Must Not Be Revealed (4,000 words)
The rest of the guests were still asleep, and the guys were tidying up, as if nothing had happened, not even the movement of raising their eyes.
This in itself was strange enough, but it was not so simple that frightened these senior brothers, but this thunder was very familiar to them......
Their eyes brushed towards the door of the inn, and they saw an old figure slowly appear.
This old Taoist was dressed in a yellow gossip robe, with a Dao crown on his head, although he had white hair and many wrinkles on his face, no one dared to underestimate him.
Its thin body conceals an extremely powerful momentum, which makes people a little breathless.
"Master!"
Several Taoist priests knelt down respectfully, not daring to be disrespectful.
After all, this is the master who taught them the Dao Fa - the spiritual cultivator!
It is said that he is more than 150 years old, but he can still move normally, although he has not often walked around the rivers and lakes in recent days, but his name is still circulated in the righteous path of the world, and everyone must respect and call his predecessors.
The most important thing is that its Dao method is unfathomable, although it is not as good as the name of the Heavenly Master, but it is also an extremely powerful existence.
After learning about the ghost market this time, he came in person.
After several young Taoist priests saw that the master had finally arrived, their hearts still failed to settle down, but they were a little worried.
In the past, Master was their greatest backbone, and no matter how powerful the ghosts were, they could not defeat Master.
However, this time, the more they learned more about the existence behind this ghost city, the more they realized the huge horror!
Even if it's a master, I'm afraid I can't compete with it......
But these are obviously later words, and now what is more important is that although the master came lightly, every step seemed to be stepping on their hearts.
The sound of each footstep was so heavy that while their heads kept lowering, a lot of cold sweat flowed out of their foreheads, but they didn't even have the strength to wipe it.
Master's stern gaze was staring at them as if he were looking at a few children who had made a big mistake.
At this time, the entry of the spiritual cultivator also did not attract the attention of others, and even Xiao Er did not come forward to entertain him.
He walked up to the second floor to the kneeling in front of them so freely, stared at them for a while, frowned, and slowly said in a vicissitudes of life: "Do you know what is wrong? β
"Master, we know it's wrong!"
Although Wei Zhu and the others dared to fool the little junior brother, they would never dare to face the master, and they didn't even dare to lie, and they immediately admitted their mistakes.
They have been nurtured by Master for many years, and they know Master's temperament.
It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to know your mistakes and not change them, and you still lie!
"It's good to know what you're wrong." Lingxiu nodded slowly, not overly harsh.
However, the little junior brother kept his head down, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but look at the master from time to time, and sometimes at a few senior brothers, some of his eyes were dazed for a while, and some didn't quite understand what they were talking about, and he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
"Senior brother, didn't they find the Ebony Wood Essence for Master, it should be a great achievement! How can it be as if you have made a mistake? β
And Lingxiuzi glanced at the scene below the inn that was gradually deserted, and said slowly: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by others outside, so I went into the room and talked about it in detail." β
When several disciples heard this, they hurriedly sent the master into the house, and then after the master sat down on the bed, they obediently knelt on the ground and listened to the instructions.
Ling Xiuzi's deep gaze slowly swept over their bodies, and his expression was a little extra solemn: "Isn't there something strange about that ghost market?" In order to confuse all of you, even at the expense of deceiving your fellow disciples?! β
Wei Zhu's body trembled, raised his eyes and glanced cautiously, then quickly retracted, and whispered: "It turns out that Master, you already know......"
"Humph! You are full of ghosts, as if you are a terrible ghost who escaped from the Huangquan Road, and you don't look like a cultivator at all. β
There was anger in the master's words, full of anger at the few disciples he had cultivated with all his heart, but they were willing to degenerate and blend into the ghost path.
"This ......" Wei Zhu and the others were speechless for a moment, looked down at themselves, and suddenly realized that they had been in and out of the ghost market too often during this time, so that they didn't even know that their temperament had changed, and they regretted it a little.
Lingxiuzi gradually calmed down the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Although you mentioned in your letter that the ghost market is an extremely dangerous place, you don't know the details. You should already know what you've been going through for a while, so don't hide it! β
Several senior brothers subconsciously glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to hide anything anymore, so they hurriedly told all the things that had happened during this period of time.
Especially when it comes to the fact that he and others wanted to make money, but instead owed more and more, he was deeply ashamed, and he didn't dare to look up at Master's face.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be gloomy and terrible.
Just as they had finished speaking, they heard the master slap the bed board hard, and a voice full of anger rang out:
"Damn!"
"You are not very qualified, so you can't recognize that the so-called ghost market is clearly a means of demagogy! The founders must have had great plans! And the Ebony Wood Essence for you, although it seems to be good, is probably just a trap to lure you deeper and deeper! β
Lingxiuzi's eyes were solemn, and he said in a shocking voice: "If you ignore it, it will definitely form a huge hidden danger in the future, and at that time, like you, there will be no distinction between people and ghosts, life and death will be disordered, and the Heavenly Dao will no longer exist!" β
"That being the case, it's better for me to personally exterminate the ghost city to prevent future troubles!"
It's just that as soon as these words came out, the scene instantly quieted down, and the disciples looked at each other, looking like they had something to say but didn't dare to say it.
After a while, the bold Wei Zhu whispered a reminder: "Master, it's too dangerous there, you may ...... Maybe...... It would be better to call a few more helpers. β
"Ridiculous! Where can I go in this world? The spiritual cultivator didn't believe it, but felt that a few disciples had underestimated him.
Until......
When the spiritual cultivator forced a few disciples to lead him on the path that led to the ghost market that they had walked at the beginning, he realized that what they said seemed to be true......
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Lingxiuzi felt like a little sheep walking in a wolf pack, the spiritual pressure on his body was already tense to the limit, his breathing was a little unsmooth, and his eyes sometimes swept over the ghosts and monsters passing by, and his pupils constricted.
Although he was very confident in his cultivation, the people around him who passed by were not ordinary ghosts at all!
Look at the one in front, three hundred years of cultivation!
Look at the one in the back, good guy, four hundred years of cultivation!
And there are obviously not a few guys like this, even those little monsters who only have a hundred years of cultivation abound, one or two may be able to deal with it easily, but now his own cultivation is a little stretched in comparison.
Wei Zhu said a little innocently: "Master, we have warned you a long time ago that you insisted on ......"
Lingxiuzi's eyes glared: "That's because I'm old and confused, you don't know how to stop it?" β
"Huh?" They choked in unison.
However, when he came to this point, Lingxiu Zi said that he would not go any further.
With his deeds, it was clear that the real danger of the ghost city was not as simple as these ghosts on the surface.
There was an even more terrifying force lurking in the depths of it, and it was not something he could compete with. Now that he was gone, it was no different from sending him to death.
Not even anyone else he knows can compare!
Lingxiu Zi stared closely at the black cloud above the ghost market, and sighed slowly.
"I'm afraid I really need to contact those Taoist friends and gather the heroes of the world to exterminate this place......"
"This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave ...... first"
His mind had changed, and he planned to leave this place of right and wrong with these disciples first, but as soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard a voice behind him that seemed to be smiling: "This Dao Chief, they have all come here, don't you go in and sit?" β
"Who?"
Lingxiu Zi was shocked, he didn't even notice anyone approaching just now?!
When he hurriedly turned around to look, he saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing not far behind him and the others, looking at them with a slight smile.
Although it seems that there is nothing conspicuous about the other party's body and momentum, but those ink-like eyes seem to contain the supreme avenue, deep and dark like the starry sky, so that when looking at each other, I can't help but feel a sense of insignificance and fear in my heart.
"Absolutely extraordinary!" It was the first thought on his mind.
Although he didn't know what the identity of the other party was, in his opinion, since he appeared here and invited them to go in to have a look, it must be someone from the ghost market......
Don't let your guard down!
"Who are you?" Lingxiu asked cautiously.
The eyes were firmly fixed on each other, but they didn't seem to feel the substance, and they felt even more frightened.
"I ...... I'm just a friend of the owner of the ghost city. The middle-aged man chuckled.
"Friends?" Lingxiuzi's eyes froze, "You are also a demon?" β
This person's cultivation is unfathomable, if he really fights, I'm afraid he has no chance of winning!
"Demons? I'm not a demon. Immediately, he denied it, "I just think maybe you are worth seeing me, that's why you are here." β
The spiritual cultivator didn't intend to listen to him, and he wasn't sure if the other party was stalling for time at the moment, so instead of continuing to grind, it was better to make a break!
He just wanted to speak, but then he saw the man wave his hand lightly, but the scene in front of him changed dramatically in an instant, as if it was soaring through the clouds, which made his whole person shocked!
was about to transport the spell, but in the next second, it was already as if he had landed on the ground, without the illusion of drifting just now.
"What is this?" Lingxiu Zi looked around in astonishment, but found that he was standing on a cloud at this time, and the whole picture of the ghost city could be vaguely seen under his feet, and he could also distinguish a scene of a single figure crowding.
It's not unusual for him to ride the clouds, and so will he himself. It's strange why the other party brought him here.
"Sit down, for I have prepared a feast for you."
However, at this time, the man's voice sounded from behind him again, and when he looked back, he found that the other party had already set up a sumptuous banquet on this cloud, which looked very delicious.
"I don't know what you have to doom, so I've prepared a few of everything, and I'll leave ...... at will," the man said, pouring himself a glass of wine, and sitting cross-legged on the ground and drinking it to himself.
The aroma of wine seems to be tangible, and it is accompanied by a round of silver-white light in the sky that is much larger than the ground, like a layer of silver yarn, hazy and scattered, more mellow, and makes people feel restless in the stomach.
But how could a spiritual cultivator drink such a wine from an unknown source, but became more and more vigilant.
With a shook, a silver-white sword appeared out of thin air, although it seemed ordinary, but the blade that seemed to cut through the falling moonlight was enough to show its sharpness.
Who knew that the man laughed: "Eat and drink, why do you take out a weapon to fight and kill?" β
Seeing that he stretched out his hand and made a random move, the sword in his hand flew out involuntarily, and fell flutteringly on the other side of the cloud, firmly stuck there diagonally, no longer moving.
Ling Xiuzi frowned deeply, not only because he realized that his strength was far inferior to the other party, but also because he noticed that the other party's repeated attacks did not have the slightest ghostly aura, but there was a faint fairy aura, and he acted casually.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Are you so curious about who I am?" The man slowly put down the wine in his hand and looked up at him, as if asking casually.
Lingxiu nodded solemnly. The more he observed, the more he felt that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
"It's ...... anyway"
The spiritual cultivator suddenly heard a long sigh, and then the scene in front of him suddenly slowly rotated like a mirror, and amazing scenes gradually appeared in front of his eyesβ
The fairy-like pavilions, the cranes circling and flying in the air, the clear spiritual spring flowing slowly, and the fairies and fairies who come and go......
It is almost exactly the same as the scene of the fairy world recorded in his classics!
And the man who had just seen an ordinary man was sitting on the fairy throne in luxurious clothes, with an indifferent expression, as if everything around him was taken for granted.
But he was not given a chance to observe in detail, and everything in front of him broke apart like a fantasy and returned to the clouds of Fangcai.
At this time, the man still looked at him with a smile: "How, do you understand now?" β
"Immortal...... Immortal ......" Lingxiuzi's eyes widened, looking at each other in awe, and his heart was even more shocked!
He never thought that he had come to get rid of demons, but he actually met an immortal who had not heard from the world for thousands of years?!
But before he could finish speaking, the man interrupted him with a chuckle: "Shh, this is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed, just understand it in your heart." β
But having said that, although the trace of immortal qi released from his body was not very strong, it was genuine, and even the air around him seemed to become a little more agile!
If it is said that the previous one may be an illusion, then this immortal qi must not be faked!
The spiritual cultivator hurriedly knelt down and wanted to kowtow: "Understand ...... below"
But just as he was about to knock down, he felt an invisible force stop him.
"There's no need to kowtow, I didn't show up on purpose, but I'm not here to receive your worship." The "immortal" said this, and then stretched out his hand to the prosperity of the ghost market under the clouds.
It's the middle of the night, and it's also the busiest time for the ghost market, with tens of thousands of ghosts coming and going.
Although the ghost market has expanded several times, it can still be seen that there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
"What did you see there?" Po asked meaningfully.
