Chapter 573: The Dragon of the Candle
Chapter 573: The Dragon of the Candle
With Su Zimo's eyesight, he could naturally see that the situation of the nightshade in the magic sword was not good.
After all, with the other party's weak temperament, when encountering other unjust souls in the magic sword, I am afraid that it has always been out of a state of being bullied.
If it weren't for the obsession of waiting for Long Yang, with the weak temperament of Nightshade, I am afraid it would be difficult to persevere.
It is no wonder that in the three fairy swords, the nightshade that has lived in the lock demon tower for thousands of years will split into two personalities, usually it is gentle and tranquil, and the lovely "blue sunflower", and at the critical moment, it will incarnate into a cold and ruthless "red sunflower".
In the final analysis, it is because the other party has lived in the magic sword for thousands of years and has been infected by the evil aura of the magic sword.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Nightshade couldn't help but show a look of interest, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, shook his head and said, "No...... I can't go with you, you are good people, this fierce sword...... It's going to hurt you. ”
"How can this little evil breath hurt this seat."
Su Zimo couldn't help but smile, and a hint of pride suddenly appeared on his face.
Just kidding, even Murong Ziying in the original book can control the evil qi very well, and he has not been affected by half of it, if he can be infected by the evil qi, it will be a big joke.
Looking at Nightshade's slightly hesitant eyes, Su Zimo shook his head noncommittally, but he did not delve into this issue.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and drew a magic sword stuck in the man's corpse.
"Choke!"
As soon as the magic sword was in his hand, Su Zimo only felt a sky-high aura spreading along the palm of his hand.
It's a pity that this evil qi has not yet approached the body, and it has been completely expelled, and it is difficult to invade it in the slightest.
Looking at Su Zimo, who was looking at the magic sword in a generous way, but there was no abnormality in the slightest, Long Kui's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said in surprise: "Really...... Is it really okay? ”
"Okay, Xiaokui, I'll take this sword, lest it be taken out by the gangsters in the future and ruin the life."
Finding a "high-sounding" reason for himself to accept the magic sword, Su Zimo couldn't help but smile, and said faintly: "How do you plan to choose now, whether to continue to follow me as a sword spirit, or let me send you to reincarnation?" ”
"I ......"
Hearing this, Nightshade hesitated for a while, and then said resolutely: "If I haven't seen my brother, I will never be reincarnated!" ”
"Okay, I'll deal with the extra 'clutter' in this sword first."
As he spoke, Su Zimo couldn't help but urge his mana, and a visible light spread from his arm to the sword body.
"Buzz!"
With the appearance of this light, the evil qi in the original sword body, as well as all kinds of negative thoughts, were like being carefully wiped with a rag, and they could no longer be felt.
After solving the negative effects of the magic sword, Su Zimo said loudly: "Xiao Kui, you can come in, from now on, you are the only sword spirit of this magic sword." ”
"Hmm...... Xiao Kui is going back to cultivate, and she won't pay attention to external objects anymore, unless you call me, or...... I sensed my brother ...... nearby."
As he spoke, Nightshade turned into a blue light again and disappeared into the magic sword.
"Lingsha, let's go."
Looking at the magic sword in his hand, Su Zimo couldn't help but show a smile.
As a well-known divine soldier among the three immortals, the power of the magic sword is not much worse than that of Wangshu and Xihe, and it is also a big gain for a sword-loving person like Su Zimo.
What's more, it also comes with a soft-sounding sword spirit little Lori......
After subduing the magic sword, Su Zimo took Han Lingsha and continued to walk along the top of the Panlong Town Pillar.
It's just that this time it's much faster than before.
Half an hour later, the two came to the top, only to see that there was an empty platform above, dozens of feet long and wide.
This is the highest point of the entire Buzhou Mountain.
Leaning over to look, I saw that the mountain road was like a belt, the stone pillars were like bamboo shoots, the rocks like rain were scattered in all directions, the yin wind beside the ears was howling, like the sound of a ghost crying, the dark clouds overhead were dense, and the black pressure was almost within reach.
A depressing breath arose spontaneously.
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.
"This is the territory of the Netherworld, you mortals, don't retreat quickly!"
The sound was thunderous and deafening.
"Master."
Seeing this, Han Lingsha took a few steps back with some fear, her face turned slightly pale, and muttered: "Legend has it that there is a divine beast and a candle dragon guarding this place, this voice, could it be......
"Yes, in this world, I am afraid that it is the only one who can show off its might in front of this seat."
As he spoke, Su Zimo raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick clouds: "Are you right, the dragon of the candle?" ”
"Hmph, what a big breath!"
Suddenly, dozens of lightning bolts in the sky pierced the sky one after another, illuminating the sky and the earth brightly.
A dragon moan, louder than a thunderclap, came from the air.
In the blink of an eye, a huge dragon hovered from the dark clouds in the sky, the dragon head stopped about nine zhang above the high platform, looking at the two of them gloomily, and the body loomed in the clouds.
"It's a dragon...... It's really Longye! ”
Seeing this, Han Lingsha couldn't help muttering a sentence in a low voice, and unconsciously took a few steps back.
I saw a hideous dragon head the size of a house appeared in front of the two of them, with a turquoise dragon whisker, a dragon eye containing divine light, and a dragon horn entwined with a trace of electric light, all full of inexplicable majesty.
The dragon of the candle, the mysterious existence of the town guarding the Buzhou Mountain.
Open your eyes and it's day, when you close your eyes, it's night, when you breathe in and you breathe in it's summer, and when you breathe in, it's winter, and although these are just rumors, they are enough to prove the unfathomable cultivation of the dragon with the candle.
It is even rumored that the son of the candle dragon, who once served in the god clan, was murdered to death by Xi Yao's admirer, one of the twenty-eight constellations, and "Eryin", another god with a snake body and human face, because of his wild words and blasphemy against the goddess Xi Yao.
But considering that the Candle Dragon is the mysterious king of the Eight Extreme North, even the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi respects him for three points.
So the Emperor of Heaven severely punished the two negatives and the danger, and ordered the gods and witches to save them.
It can be seen that the strength of the dragon with the candle, even Fu Xi, the big boss behind the scenes in the four fairy swords, has to be afraid of a little.
But fortunately, with Su Zimo's current cultivation, he can faintly feel that the strength of the candle dragon is only a few points away from him, although he can't defeat the candle dragon, but it is not difficult to pass the ghost gate guarded by the other party.
Su Zimo's eyes looked at the dragon with a candle, but it was a little playful, and the momentum on his body was unabashedly released, confronting the huge head in mid-air.
"Huh......"
Feeling the ant-like human in front of him, he suddenly burst out with a momentum that was not inferior to his own.
The face of the candle dragon suddenly became exciting.
"Interesting...... Who are you, you have such a cultivation, and you don't think you are an unknown person, why do I never seem to have seen you? Mortal, you are worthy of the respect of this throne, tell me what you are here for. ”
"I'm going to the Ghost Realm."
“……”
There was a long silence.
In the end, the deep voice of the dragon with the candle still spoke: "Yes, but guarding this Buzhou Mountain, after all, it is an agreement between Fuxi Lao'er and this seat, I hope you don't do anything irreparable." ”
"Otherwise, if you destroy the order of the two worlds of humans and ghosts, you must know the consequences!"
"Thank you."
Su Zimo couldn't help but nodded, the move of the Candle Dragon was tantamount to recognizing his strength.
After all, when they have reached their level, if they go to fight and kill, whether it is for themselves or others, it is a thing that outweighs the loss.
Unless it involves the bottom line of both parties, it is more of a compromise and exchange made after weighing the pros and cons.
Of course......
If Su Zimo hadn't shown this kind of strength that made the candle dragon have to weigh carefully, then the result of this trip to Buzhou Mountain would have been another kind of development.
"Lingsha, let's go."
Under the eyes of the dragon with the candle, Su Zimo took Han Lingsha and stepped on the formation leading to the ghost world.
"Whoosh!"
The brilliance flashed, and what caught Su Zimo's eyes was a burst of extremely cold aura.
If it is said that when the mountain was not Zhou before, the entire mountain was affected by the ghost world, revealing the aura of forest.
And now, the two of them have really stepped into the ghost country.
The entire ghost world was filled with a gloomy and miserable aura, and several ghost fires floated in the air in the distance, everywhere, looking dim and weird.
Ghosts hate light, and these ghost fires are the only light that can be seen in the ghost world.
Casually glanced around, only to see the ground surrounded by boundless blood rivers, a temple-like building in the distance floating in the air, it looks like the eaves are painted corners, but it is also very magnificent, but the temple is connected to the four giant pillars on the open ground with iron chains on all sides, and the heads of beasts and ghosts are carved on the giant pillars, which makes people feel terrified at first sight.
Looking at everything in front of her, Han Lingsha frowned and said a little scared: "Master, it looks so gloomy here...... I feel so uncomfortable......"
"Okay, Lingsha, don't worry."
Comforting Han Lingsha funny, Su Zimo stepped forward, pointed to a large pile of black things like branches not far away, and instructed: "Those in front are the shadow branches, Lingsha, you wait here for a while, and come when you go for the teacher." ”
With that, he walked towards the pile of shadow branches.
"Master......"
Seeing this, Han Lingsha couldn't help but open her mouth, but found that not far ahead, two ghost pawns were holding steel forks in their hands, guarding beside the shadow branch, and were about to remind Su Zimo.
However, a surprising scene happened.
Under Han Lingsha's gaze, I saw that the two ghost pawns were still chatting on their own as if they hadn't seen anything, but as for the shadow branch, it had already been held in Su Zimo's hands.
"Alright, the shadow branch is in hand, we should also go," Su Zimo beckoned.
"Master, but how are we going back?" Han Lingsha said curiously.
When the two of them came before, they entered the ghost realm through the formation guarded by the dragon of the candle, but in this vicinity, Han Lingsha did not see a formation leading to the human world.
Obviously, it was impossible for the two of them to leave through the formation.
Seeing this, Su Zimo smiled faintly: "Not far away is the River Styx, if you want to leave this ghost world, the easiest way is to take the raft on the River Styx and leave, Lingsha, let's go." ”
There is another sentence, but Su Zimo did not say it, the boatman who is now responsible for ferrying on the River Styx is Han Lingsha's uncle.
But Han Lingsha didn't know it, and under the leadership of Su Zimo, she walked towards the River Styx.
More than half an hour later, an endless black water crossed in front of the two.
On the bank of the river, a green bamboo raft floated slowly, and a person on the raft was dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, standing silently on it.
"Excuse me, please send us out of the ghost world."
Seeing the boatman, Han Lingsha couldn't help but say.
As for the latter, he was silent for a long time, and exclaimed: "Lingsha, you...... How did you end up here, don't you...... Could it be that you ...... too?"
As he spoke, the man in black stretched out his hand and took off the hat on his head, revealing the vicissitudes of a middle-aged man's face.
"Uncle, is it really you? How can it be! ”
How could Han Lingsha have thought that the ferryman on the River Styx turned out to be his uncle Han Beikuang, who had been deceased for many years.
Thinking of this, Han Lingsha's heart moved, and she turned her head to look at Su Zimo, with a sense of exploration in her eyes.
With her wisdom, she connected the things of her previous life, and she could quickly guess that most of this was done by Su Zimo on purpose.
After all, on this trip to the ghost world, Su Zimo could obviously go alone, but he only brought her with him, just to let Han Lingsha see his relatives in the ghost world.
"Who is this......?"
Following Han Lingsha's gaze, Han Beikuang, who was now incarnated as a Ferryman of the River Styx, was shocked, after all, he had been in the ghost world for more than ten years, and he had naturally seen all kinds of ghosts...... and even ghosts.
And Su Zimo gave Han Beikuang a peculiar feeling.
Although he was in the ghost world, his body was not disturbed by the ghost qi at all, and even those ghost qi faintly surrounded the city in a circle, as if he was deliberately bypassing Su Zimo.
Because of this, Han Beikuang had to be cautious.
"Uncle, this is my master."
Seeing this, Han Lingsha couldn't help but explain: "When I was looking for immortals and asking questions before, Master Meng was taken into the door and taught the method of immortality. Shizun also said...... Say that my Han family is deficient...... Doomed not to live long, uncle, is this true? ”
"Hey...... Not bad. ”
Han Beikuang's face was extremely bitter, and he said slowly: "My Han family has robbed tombs for generations, and I always think that people have been buried in the ground, and the utensils in the tomb should be used to save the living, but now that you have come to the ghost world, you should know that ghosts are also like living people, and they have their own feelings and thoughts......
"Our clan disturbs the dead, not only is life and death short, many of them only live to be twenty or thirty years old, even after death, they still have to do hard labor to atone for their sins, and only after the sins are paid off can they re-enter the reincarnation ......"
"So...... That's why you're ferrying here, uncle? Han Lingsha said angrily.
Han Beikuang nodded slowly.
Han Lingsha was so shocked that she sat down on the raft and muttered, "It's actually like this......"
On the boat, the atmosphere was silent for a while, leaving only Han Beikuang rowing bamboo poles from time to time, heading towards the junction of the Yin and Yang worlds.
