Chapter 41: The Mystery of Horror

"It's strange, there's been no signal since I just came out of eating. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Xiaomeng looked at the phone strangely, and the signal bar was always in a state of zero grid.

Originally, I wanted to see if Lin Cao had replied to a private message, but now it seems that I have to give up.

Seeing Lin Xiaomeng fiddling with his mobile phone, Mu Fei said: "This is a suburb, the signal is not good?" ”

"Maybe." Lin Xiaomeng reluctantly put away her mobile phone and looked at the time, two o'clock in the afternoon.

The three of them returned to Tian Rongrong's house, and as soon as they walked into the front yard, an old man came to them, who was Tian Rongrong's grandfather who was lying on the recliner for a nap.

Mu Fei raised his hand and said hello: "Hello Grandpa Tian, we are your granddaughter's ......"

Before he finished speaking, the old man's face suddenly sank, he glared at them with an unkind expression, and scolded loudly: "Bah, I don't have that kind of grandson!" ”

After speaking, the old man turned around and entered the house, and closed the door hard, leaving Mu Fei and Lin Xiaomeng looking at each other in the courtyard.

Lin Xiaomeng snorted and whispered, "How is it the same as eating gunpowder?" Don't come at us if you quarrel with your son and lose your temper! ”

Mu Fei put down his raised arm stupidly, frowned and thought for a moment, and sighed: "Let's go find Tian Rongrong, I don't know how she prepared over there." ”

The three of them walked through the front yard, and as soon as they came to the courtyard next to the three-story small western-style building, they heard Tian Rongrong arguing loudly with her parents in the hall.

"What's going on with this family?" Lin Xiaomeng frowned, and looked at Mu Fei puzzled: "After such a while, it's almost noisy." ”

"Shh Mu Fei motioned for her to be quiet, standing in the courtyard and listening quietly.

"Rong Rong! I'm here for your own good! You can go home with us now, I can't stay here any longer! Tian Rongrong's father obviously suppressed his anger in his voice and said loudly.

Tian Rongrong's voice came: "Dad, but grandpa ......"

"If it weren't for Grandpa and his old man's words, I wouldn't have brought you back this time!" Father Tian yelled, then sighed, and said, "Dad doesn't have the magical ability of you and Grandpa, I don't know what you cultivators are going to do, but you also have to think about it, you are a girl after all, is it so important to inherit the family's cultivation?" Hey, Rongrong, my mother and I have always respected your ideas, and when you made that choice three years ago, although we didn't want to agree, we still ......"

"Lao Tian!" Tian Rongrong's mother suddenly exclaimed: "Be quiet! ”

There was a terrible silence in the room, and after a long time, Tian's father said again: "Rong Rong, my mother and I don't want you to be any cultivators, I just want you to be safe, this time you listen to us, let's go home now, and the three of us will live in the city in the future, don't come back here, okay?" ”

The sound in the house gradually became quieter, and Mu Fei and the others couldn't hear anything when they stood in the courtyard.

"Wouldn't it be a little embarrassing for us to go in now?" Mu Fei looked at Lin Xiaomeng and Extinction, and asked in a low voice.

"No, it won't." Lin Xiaomeng grinned, and suddenly shouted at the top of her voice: "Wood, look!" There's a big bird over there! ”

Her voice was so sudden, loud that the neighbors next door could hear it.

Lin Xiaomeng finished shouting and winked at Mu Fei.

Mu Fei understood, pretended to have just come back, and asked loudly, "Huh? Where? ”

Tian Rongrong heard the voice and walked out of the hall, just in time to see the three people walking in the middle of the aisle between the front yard and the middle courtyard.

Lin Xiaomeng's face was full of excited expressions, holding Mu Fei with one hand and pointing to the sky with the other; Mu Fei looked up at the sky in confusion, with a staggering movement under his feet; Wearing a mask, Extinction stood behind the two of them, also looking up at the sky.

Full marks for acting.

"When did you come back?" Tian Rongrong looked at the three of them and asked with a frown.

"Ah, squad leader." Mu Fei lowered his head, looked at Tian Rongrong and said with a smile: "Just came back, classmate Lin said that we saw a strange bird, and we are looking for it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of birds flapping their wings sounded from the trees outside the courtyard.

It's really cooperative.

Mu Fei couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, there would be a bird's voice at this time, this lie was perfect.

Lin Xiaomeng smiled: "Listen and listen, it must be a big eagle, I'm not wrong, right?" ”

Tian Rongrong also heard the sound of the bird flying, frowned and said, "Boring." ”

She turned around and walked into the hall, and said, "You go to the ancestral hall and wait for me, grandpa said it's ready, I'll ...... Something, come right away. ”

"Let's go." Mu Fei exhaled lightly, turned around and found that the extinction was still looking out of the courtyard.

Mu Fei asked, "Huh? Master, what else are you looking at? After the play, we can go. ”

Extinction lowered his head, the face with the mask could not see the expression, there were two holes exposed in the place of the mask's eyes, the cyan glazed eyes were closed, and the other normal eye looked a little puzzled, and he heard Mu Fei's voice and nodded to follow.

On a big tree outside the Tian family's compound, a night owl with a pitch-black body hid in the green canopy, staring at the courtyard for a moment with resentful eyes, and after letting out an unwilling low sound, it quietly disappeared.

……

In the ancestral hall in the backyard with deep forests, Tian Zanghou sat at the gate mottled with vermilion lacquer, looking at this ancestral hall that had been guarded all his life.

A ball of light glowing silver shimmered floated beside him.

In the ball of light was a silver villain, with the same face as Tian Zanghou, the same white hair, and the face of the old dragon bell was full of wrinkles.

"Changsheng, you're old too." Tian Zanghou sighed and said to the villain in the ball of light.

Changsheng smiled, his voice full of the vicissitudes of time: "I am your external incarnation, and it changes with your state of mind. Look at you, you're all stepping into the coffin, and of course I'm the same. ”

"Yes, it's been seventy-nine years since the day I sensed the summoning of the sword spirit." Tian Zanghou's cloudy eyes flashed with a light called memory, "I thought that the Tian family's Heavenly Dao inheritance would end in my hands, but I didn't expect things to take a turn for the better later. ”

Changsheng smiled, and the old dry laughter was full of bitterness: "Old guy, what are you talking about now." ”

Tian Zanghou smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that Rong Rong, this girl, could actually sense the summoning of the sword spirit, it can only be said that God blesses the Tian family, and the ancestors bless it." ”

He stood up, old but majestic, and his tall body was still erect.

Tian Zanghou looked intently at the grass, trees, bricks and stones in the ancestral hall, as if he wanted to imprint this ancestral hall deeply in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "I have guarded you all my life, and I can be regarded as conscientious." ”

A pleased smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Changsheng: "I feel a little uneasy about my trip to the tunnel tonight. ”

Changsheng was silent, turning into a streamer and flying into Tian Zanghou's hands.

"Old fellow, you remember, the sword is in the man!"

Tian Zanghou held the long sword in his hand, and there was a resolute look on his face.

"Yes, the sword is there." As he spoke, the look on his face instantly brightened, "The two of us are one, immortal, stay with me for another ride." ”

"It's supposed to be the last ride." Tian Zanghou smiled slightly, put away the long sword into his arms, looked up at the entrance of the courtyard, and laughed loudly: "The three little friends have arrived?" ”

"Yes." Mu Fei's voice came, and the three of them walked to the door of the ancestral hall, and Mu Fei nodded in greeting: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time." ”

Tian Zanghou looked around left and right and asked, "What about Rong Rong?" ”

Mu Fei said: "She said she would come in a while." ”

Tian Zanghou sighed when he heard this, and said, "Born in the Tian family, it also hurt her." ”

Mu Fei wanted to say something, but his throat moved but he still didn't say it.

The four of them stood at the door and waited for a while, and Tian Rongrong hurried over with a slightly aggrieved look on her face.

Seeing the old lady and Mu Fei waiting at the door, Tian Rongrong took a long breath, her face returned to a calm appearance, nodded and said softly: "Grandpa, I just told my father something, it's too late." ”

Tian Zanghou looked at her kindly: "Good boy, you have been wronged. ”

He turned and entered the ancestral hall and opened the stone monument at the entrance to the tunnel.

As the creaking sound of stones rubbing against the ground, the stone tablet engraved with large characters in seal script slowly moved away, and a pitch-black passage leading to the ground appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's an everlasting lamp made of whale oil." Tian Zang Hou gave everyone a lamp with a simple shape, "Handed down by the ancestors, in order to prevent the lack of air in the tunnel, once the light goes out, everyone will immediately go back." ”

Mu Fei held the lamp, looked at the thick piece of ointment at the wick, smelled a strange aroma on the tip of his nose, and instantly felt cool in his nose, only to feel comfortable and relaxed, as if it was the fragrance of mint.

Tian Zanghou said again: "The aroma of this whale oil also has a calming effect, you must hold it carefully." ”

"The old lady has a heart." Mu Fei nodded in response.

Tian Zanghou sighed and said, "Everyone, the old man has been practicing for many years, and he is only in the realm of three talents, so I am really ashamed. If it weren't for this Buddhist master and the two little friends, I guess I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind to take a look. ”

He took a deep look at the extinction trace, leaned over and bowed: "I can see that the master's cultivation realm is much higher than mine, and I still need to rely on you more for this trip." ”

Extinction nodded and said, "Good." ”

Tian Zanghou looked at Mu Fei and the others, and said, "This trip to this Burial Sword Pavilion, the future may be dangerous, and no one knows if the demon underground has escaped the seal." If the situation is not right, you should return the same way with this lamp, and do not hesitate. ”

"You're all set, right? Let's go. Tian Zanghou said, first carrying the lamp, and walked into the entrance to the underground.

Tian Rongrong immediately followed.

"Let's go." Mu Fei lit the lamp and turned to look at Lin Xiaomeng.

Lin Xiaomeng looked at the phone, it was still a zero-bar signal, frowned and whispered to herself: "I can't contact Xiaobaiyan...... Forget it, it should be okay to have a great monk here, Xiao Ling said that there shouldn't be many people in this world who are better than him......"

Mu Fei asked curiously, "Classmate Lin, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing." Lin Xiaomeng glanced at Mu Fei and the extinction, and said seriously: "If the situation is not right, run away immediately, understand?" ”

"Okay."

Mu Fei took the lead, Lin Xiaomeng followed behind him, and the three of them also entered the tunnel.

The light of the whale oil lamp was very faint, and it could only illuminate a distance in front of him, and after walking for a moment in the dark tunnel, the light behind him disappeared completely, leaving only two faint sparks of Tian Zanghou and Tian Rongrong in front of him.

The spiraling tunnel is only allowed to pass by one person, Mu Fei stepped on the steps paved with bluestone slabs, reached out and touched the wall of the tunnel, the tentacles were as warm as jade, and I didn't know what material it was made of.

The three of them quickened their pace and caught up with Tian Zanghou and Tian Rongrong.

The tunnels were quiet, and only the breathing and footsteps of the people around them could be heard.

After walking for about an hour, Mu Fei smelled the strange fragrance produced by the burning of whale oil all around him, and the aroma emitted from the lamps of the five people almost filled the entire space, and he could breathe the cold and sobering smell with every step.

Looking at the ointment at the wick again, it has barely decreased, Mu Fei can't help but be secretly surprised, and he doesn't know how this whale oil is made, it is so resistant to burning.

"Rong Rong, is the monster you saw last night human-faced and tiger-like?" Tian Zanghou's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, and the empty and deep tunnel was full of echoes.

Tian Rongrong was walking intently, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel slightly shocked in her heart, and replied: "I only saw a beast-like thing that fell on four legs, and I didn't see its face clearly. ”

Mu Fei continued: "We found the human-faced tiger body, and there was a victim who gave her brother a dream, and in the dream, the unjust soul drew a blood painting, which was the appearance of a monster with a human face and a tiger body. ”

"Dream?" Tian Zanghou's voice came from the front, "I see...... Oh, here we are. ”

"I see?" Mu Fei's heart moved, he always felt that something was wrong, slowed down slightly, and wanted to tell Lin Xiaomeng to be careful, but suddenly his back was soft, and Lin Xiaomeng lay on top of him.

"Lin-classmate!" Mu Fei was shocked and found that Lin Xiaomeng had fainted.

Tian Rongrong heard the voice behind her and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Fei said loudly: "I don't know, classmate Lin fainted!" ”

Looking at the front of him again, a faint lamp illuminated an exit, and it seemed that he had come to the place where the spirit sword was sealed underground.

"It looks like the drug is working." Tazo's voice came.

"Efficacy? Grandpa, what are you talking about? Tian Rongrong looked at Tian Zanghou in confusion, and in the faint light, Tian Zanghou's figure fell into the shadows, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Rong Rong, the monster you saw last night, isn't that like this?"

Tian Zanghou suddenly let go of the lamp and threw away the lamp, his hands lay on the ground, his mouth let out a painful roar, and the clothes on his body were swollen and torn apart by the golden hair, and he suddenly turned into a monster with a human face and a tiger body!

With a "hula", the light of countless candles lit up on the ground, illuminating the entire underground hall.

It is an underground hall about the size of a football field, with a high platform in the center with a quaint sword stuck in it.

The monster that Tazo had turned into was lying there, looking at everyone with fierce eyes.

Around him, five bloodied headless female corpses fell to the ground, looking horrible and unusual.

"Demon Dao!"

Extinction suddenly shouted, grabbed two steps forward, and stopped in front of Mu Fei and Tian Rongrong, Liulifa opened his eyes and glared at Tian Zanghou.

Tian Rongrong looked at everything that happened in front of her in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "Grandpa, you, you!" ”

She suddenly stared at her and fainted to the ground.

"The requiem incense made by this person's oil wick, combined with the Big Dipper Nine Star Array I set up here, can become the most domineering and unparalleled soul separation technique, how does it taste?"

Tian Zanghou smiled and looked at Mu Fei and the extinction traces who were still standing.

The extinction took off his mask, the light of the Buddha around him shone brightly, turned into an angry-eyed King Kong, and walked towards Tian Zanghou step by step.

"Buddha path cultivator, no matter how strong you are, can you still resist the mana of the ancient demon after being hit by my soul incense?"

Tian Zanghou looked at him fearlessly, and pulled out the ancient sword on the high platform.

With an earth-shattering roar, the phantom of a monster with a human face, a tiger body, and a nine-tailed body emerged from the sword.

A huge and extremely powerful demon path attacked, destroying the body and shaking heavily, and he sat on the ground, sitting cross-legged, unable to move anymore.

The monster's shadow was faint, hovering over the tip of the sword, as if it was entangled in something and couldn't get out.

Tian Zanghou glanced at Mu Fei, the only one who hadn't fallen yet, and said, "Strange, how can you still stand?" Isn't the soul incense working on you? Pure Yin Body? ”

His eyes were full of cruelty and banter.
