Chapter 431: Find a Helper
After that, I followed my family towards the courtyard.
There are no changes in the courtyard, it is still the same layout. I followed Jiading all the way to a room in the backyard, and Jiading asked me to wait again, while he went to call Shangguan Xuanmu.
I walked slowly to the table and sat down, my eyes glancing around.
"You're here." Shangguan Xuanmu's voice came from outside the door.
A moment later, Shangguan Xuanmu walked in quickly.
"How's it going, is there any news?" I looked at Shangguan Xuanmu and asked.
After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanmu said with a wry smile: "Big brother, what are you to me, I just ordered it yesterday, where is it so fast." ”
I thought about it after hearing it, he is not an immortal, how can he be so fast.
"What are you going to do next?" Shangguan Xuanmu asked when he saw that I didn't speak.
I thought for a moment and said, "Now the people in the Dao Gate have rushed to the place where the ghosts are sealed, and this is also our last chance to deal with the Ghost King." If you can't destroy the ghost king this time, then there really won't be a way to do it in the future. Originally, I wanted to find the Ghost King first, but you don't have any news here yet, so I'm going to find some helpers first. ”
"Who?" Shangguan Xuanmu looked at me and asked curiously.
"It's a former friend, and I guess he'll be coming to me soon. But I'm going to go out to find out the whereabouts of the Ghost King now, and when you have news here, I want you to notify me as soon as possible. If I really can't find it, I can only go and meet Cheng Xiao and them first. As I spoke, I got up and prepared to leave.
"Let's go, you won't stay here for a day." Shangguan Xuanmu hurriedly got up and said.
I shook my head and said, "Now is not the time, when the matter of the Ghost King is dealt with, I will catch up with you again." ”
"That's right, it's really not the time, so let's talk about it later. Also, I will notify you as soon as there is news from the ghost king's side, so you can rest assured. ”
I nodded and said, "Well, thank you then." ”
"What else do we say thank you or not, you hurry up and get busy with you." Shangguan Xuanmu said as he walked over to my side.
Subsequently, accompanied by Shangguan Xuanmu, I walked out of the mansion of Shangguan Xuanmu's family, and then Shangguan Xuanmu personally selected a fast horse for me, and it was not until I left the county seat that he turned back.
After leaving the county seat, there is no news of the ghost king and Qing Yao now, and I can't blindly look for it. So, I decided to go to my helper first.
In the evening of the same day, I prepared three sticks of incense and went to a field.
When I saw that there was no one around, I lit the three sticks of incense and then took out a charm.
"Three incense is the guide, and the soul is the soul." As soon as the words fell, the spell suddenly turned into a golden light and soared into the sky.
I sat down on the side, quietly waiting for him to arrive.
"Hehe, you can still find me, it's not easy." A voice suddenly rang out in my ears.
After hearing this, I looked to the side, and saw Zhang Xiu standing beside me at this time, he was still the same as before, and he didn't look like he had changed.
"Tell me something." Zhang Xiu said as she sat down beside me.
I glanced at Zhang Xiu and said, "I really have something to do with you, I think you should have guessed some of it." ”
"If my guess is correct, it should be the ghost king's business. And I've heard something recently, saying that you've cleaned up the ghost king's subordinates, and now the ghost king himself is left. Zhang Xiu looked at me and smiled as she spoke.
"Almost, but it's not that it's cleaned up, but when the three ghosts are destroyed again, the other lonely ghosts and wild ghosts will all be scattered. And I'm looking for you this time to deal with the Ghost King, I thought we would be okay before, but now it seems that I overestimated myself. The Ghost King is not something I can deal with at all, I need to use the power that I can use, so that I can have the certainty of fighting the Ghost King. I looked at Zhang Xiu and said seriously.
"I naturally know what you said about this, otherwise I wouldn't have told you to find me in the first place." After speaking, Zhang Xiu got up and glanced into the distance.
Then he opened his mouth and continued: "Actually, the ghost king is not invincible, and he is not at the moment. ”
"What do you mean by that?" I asked, confused.
"Actually, the ghost king has a weakness, there should be a seal in his body now, and that seal will not be able to be unlocked at all for a while. In addition to this, he has an even more fatal heel. When he said this, Zhang Xiu suddenly stopped talking.
I hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what is it?" ”
"That's your golden sword." Zhang Xiu said as she pointed to the golden sword on my back.
After hearing this, I frowned and said, "Golden long sword? This is impossible, I also fought with the Ghost King, and I used a golden sword, I didn't see anything wrong with the Ghost King. ”
"No, do you remember the thunder that came down when you fought with me?" Zhang Xiu said again.
After hearing this, I suddenly remembered that in the fight with Zhang Xiu many years ago, I was not Zhang Xiu's opponent at all, if it hadn't led to the thunder, then I might have died.
"Well, I see, you mean to let me lead the thunder." I looked at Zhang Xiu and said.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's what it means, although he is a ghost king, he is just a ghost after all." And the heavenly thunder is a evil thing that can destroy everything, including him, the ghost king, of course. Even if he doesn't lose his soul, he will definitely not be our opponent at that time. ”
"But how can thunder be attracted on this day, you know, it is only on a rainy day, and it is possible to attract it." I watched Zhang Xiu open her mouth again.
"There's no other way around this, it's up to us to see our luck, and if we're lucky, we'll succeed the first time. If we're unlucky, we're probably going to die. Zhang Xiu said as she spread her hands helplessly.
I nodded after hearing this, this is also a way, it is better than fighting hard with others.
"By the way, what's next for you?" Zhang Xiu looked at me and asked.
After hearing this, I hurriedly said: "There is no news from Qing Yao yet, I want to wait to rescue Qing Yao first." ”
"What's wrong with Qing Yao?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Qing Yao was arrested by the Ghost King, not long ago. And he wants to use Qing Yao to unlock the seal in his body, which means that he wants to forcibly absorb the demonic energy on Qing Yao's body. ”
"Then this matter is not to be delayed, we must quickly find the location of the ghost king, otherwise it will be difficult to do it if it is late." Zhang Xiu hurriedly said.
I said helplessly: "I also know this, but now the ghost king doesn't know where it is, how can we find it." ”
"It's simple, I heard that all the Taoist priests have been rushing towards a sinkhole recently, and it is said that there are a lot of ghosts sealed in that place, and the ghost king is planning to break the seal there, and then release those ghosts. So I think the ghost king probably went there directly and unlocked the seal in his body there. ”
After listening to it, I feel that what Zhang Xiu said still makes sense, and there is no other eyebrow now.
"In that case, let's go there first." I looked at Zhang Xiu and said.
"Well, let's stop talking nonsense, let's go now." Zhang Xiu said and floated into the distance.
I looked at Zhang Xiu and shook my head helplessly, thinking that he was more anxious than me.
On the way, Zhang Xiu and I talked a lot, but most of them were still about the ghost king. But he also talked about some other things, Zhang Xiu said that it has almost changed in the past few years, and when the matter of the ghost king is over, he plans to go to the underworld to report. I naturally didn't say anything after listening to it, this result must be good, although there must be some punishment after going down, but these are also what he deserves, after all, he has killed so many people before.
And a few days after we left, news also came from Shangguan Xuanmu's side that the ghost king was near the sinkhole. That said, our previous guesses were not wrong.
In this way, we traveled for almost a month. In this month, Zhang Xiu basically came out at night, and I was alone during the day.
When we arrived at the county seat near the sinkhole, there were basically no people inside. It seems that the people who asked the Daomen have evacuated all the people here. Of course, none of the people I'm talking about are ordinary people, and the rest of the people are basically some people in the Daomen.
After I arrived, I found Cheng Xiao directly, and told him the method I had discussed with Zhang Xiu before.
Cheng Xiao was naturally happy after hearing this, but his worry was that if there were no rainy days in the past few days, it would really be wasted. If there were no rainy days, we would only have to fight with the ghost king.
After that, I also learned a little bit about the current situation. Now Cheng Xiao and they have also arranged a lot of magic circles near the sinkhole, and as for the ghost king, there is no trace. And under the pit of heaven, Cheng Xiao and others also went down, there is indeed a seal below, and a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts are sealed, for the sake of insurance, Cheng Xiao and others arranged the magic circle from below again.
After learning about this, I was very curious, obviously Shangguan Xuanmu told me that the ghost king was already near the sinkhole, why was there still no trace.
Just when I couldn't figure it out, I suddenly remembered the thatched hut before the mouse.
"By the way, did Cheng Changmen go to a thatched hut to have a look?" I asked hurriedly.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiao asked with a puzzled face: "Thatched house?" What thatched house? ”
Looking at Cheng Xiao's appearance, he didn't go there at all, which means that the ghost king may be in that place. As soon as I thought of this, I told Cheng Xiao my thoughts.
Cheng Xiao didn't hesitate after hearing this, and rushed directly to the direction of the thatched house with me.
By this time, the sun had already set, and the light around us was getting dimmer, so we prepared some torches as we hurried.
Just as we walked into the woods, I suddenly noticed that the yin qi around me was getting heavier and heavier, and it was getting more and more wrong.
"It's not good, go back and call people, let them hurry up and get to the vicinity of the sinkhole." Cheng Xiao hurriedly turned her head and said.
As soon as the words fell, a disciple of the Dao Sect quickly ran towards the direction of the county seat.
And I also looked at the depths of the woods with a solemn face, and after a long time, I turned my head to look at Cheng Xiao and said: "This matter is not simple, you rush to the sinkhole, I am afraid that there will be some accidents there." ”
"What about you?" Cheng Xiao looked at me and asked.
"I'll go to the thatched hut, I think there might be something wrong there, and if I don't find it, I'll go and meet you at once. If there's something over there, I'll let Zhang Xiu inform you. As I spoke, I pointed to Zhang Xiu beside me.
Cheng Xiao glanced at Zhang Xiu and didn't say anything, just nodded. To be honest, he still looks down on Zhang Xiu. But now, this is not the time to play tricks, everything must be based on the overall situation.
