Chapter 146: Into the Underworld
Afterwards, Zhou He and the others worked with the dean to find the whereabouts of Zhan Tao along the path they had walked. However, no matter how they searched, they found no trace of Zhan Tao, not even a code.
This made Zhou He and the others have doubts in their hearts, in the past, even if Zhan Tao disappeared for no reason, he would leave the unique code of Canglan Academy in the place where he walked, so that they could find it. But this time, Zhan Tao disappeared for no reason, not to mention, and he didn't even leave a code.
Could it be that what happened to Zhan Tao? Who took him captive? That's why he didn't shed a code?
With this idea in mind, several people expanded the scope of their search to a hundred miles, and even visited all the surrounding sects, mountain villas, and evil organizations, but they did not find Zhan Tao's whereabouts.
In desperation, everyone could only take the dean to the place where they were separated from Zhan Tao, so the scene just happened.
After a long time, the dean stood up, and the expression that was still a little playful suddenly disappeared without a trace, and an extremely solemn look was replaced.
When this look fell on Zhou He and the others, Zhou He and the others couldn't help but feel shocked, as long as the dean showed this look, he would encounter a big trouble on the surface.
"Dean, what have you discovered?" Zhou He took a step forward and hurriedly asked.
And Qi Feiyu, Gongsun Wuming, and Qiu Yue's expressions also became solemn, and they all looked at the dean, wanting to know what could make the dean so nervous.
The dean pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The underground of this place is very likely to be one of the entrances to the Xuan Ghost Domain!"
"What!" The four of them trembled and said, "Dean, are you sure?"
Of course they knew what the existence of the Mysterious Ghost Domain was, but since ancient times, the traces of the Mysterious Ghost Domain have been extremely mysterious. They never expected that this place might be one of the entrances to the Xuan Ghost Domain. However, they never dreamed that this place was not only the entrance to the Mysterious Ghost Domain, but also the entrance to the legendary Underworld.
The dean nodded slowly, "The terrain of this place belongs to water, the water belongs to yin, and there is a lot of dead qi in the underground, so I speculated that this place is very likely to be one of the entrances to the Xuan Ghost Domain." As he spoke, his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "You carefully inform me of the scene that happened that day. ”
"Yes. Zhou He instantly regained his senses, pondered a little, and after recalling the scene that had happened that day, he told the dean all this.
After hearing this, the dean frowned deeply and was silent, but after only a moment, he recovered, but his eyes remained gloomy, "It seems that my guess is not wrong, this place is the entrance to the Xuan Ghost Domain." The feeling of being followed and the whirlpool you encountered. I guess you were treated as a ghost by the envoy of the Xuan Ghost Domain, and you were extradited to the Xuan Ghost Domain. ”
"We are the living, why are we treated as Xuan Ghosts by the Envoy of the Xuan Ghost Domain?" Zhou He asked in confusion.
There is a great difference between the living and the ghosts, and it should be easy to tell the difference between the born and the ghosts, but why are they regarded as ghosts by the messengers.
The dean did not answer immediately, but looked up at the sky, and everyone couldn't help but look up, the sky was cloudless, the sun was high, and there was nothing abnormal.
After a long time, the dean opened his mouth to explain the doubts to everyone, "I told you earlier that there is a lot of dead qi in this underground, but what I didn't expect is that there is also a large amount of dead qi in this sky. Now that you are scattering, you have inadvertently inhaled a lot of dead air. When the death qi is greater than the anger, the anger will be suppressed by the death qi, so you will be regarded as a ghost by the messenger. ”
To a certain extent, there is no difference between the ghost and the living, the only difference is in the breath, the ghost has dead qi, while the living have vitality.
"So what should we do now? I guess Zhan Tao is most likely in this Mysterious Ghost Domain right now. ”
"Kill it!" "The dean's eyes were cold and generous, "It's good that the Xuan Ghost Domain doesn't appear, if it does, there will be no reason why I shouldn't send the Xuan Ghost inside into the Yellow Spring." ”
Regarding the dean's thoughts, Zhou He and others expressed their understanding that most of the ghosts were people who had evil thoughts in their hearts, so after becoming a ghost, they have been doing a lot of evil on the Xuanwu Continent, resulting in the scattering of many people, the destruction of families, and the grievances of the people.
As a mystic, he has the obligation to eliminate harm for the people, and as long as he kills the mystic, his soul can be returned to the Yellow Spring. In the Yellow Spring, you can be reincarnated and reincarnate in the next life.
"You stand back, let me break the seal at the entrance to this Mysterious Ghost Domain. ”
When Zhou He and the others heard this, they did not hesitate at all, and their figures instantly retreated three feet away.
The dean made a few movements with both hands very quickly, and then pinched the magic trick with his hands, and a mysterious qi appeared in his fingers, and then his expression froze, and he shouted softly: "Break!"
Xuan Qi slammed into the ground with a loud bang. I saw that the entire ground exploded directly, and a huge pit appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Strangely, according to normal theory, after a deep pit appears in the desert, the surrounding sand and gravel should rush into the pit in an instant. The deep pit that could be broken open by the dean, the surrounding sand and gravel seemed to be blocked by something.
Zhou He and the others couldn't help but feel deeply shocked by everything the dean had done, but it didn't take long for the dean's cultivation to improve a lot. Only when they joined forces could they create such a huge pit, but the dean could do it alone, and they needed four people to do it.
No wonder they don't need to make a move.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up. ”
Just when Zhou He was still immersed in the shock, the dean drank loudly and woke Zhou He and the others up.
"Congratulations, Dean. After Zhou He and the others sobered up, they all clenched their fists and shouted at the dean.
"Alright. The dean waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly." As soon as the words fell, the whole person jumped into the deep pit.
Zhou He and the others glanced at each other, and then jumped into the deep pit one after another.
......
When they arrived at the ground circumference, the dark and gloomy feeling around them instantly invaded everyone's hearts. Zhou He waved his hand, and a flame instantly appeared in the palm of his hand, illuminating the entire underground.
There was nothing around, only a passage, and I didn't know where it led.
The dean glanced around slightly, and said, "The four of you are scattered around, forming a five-element envelope, and Zhan Tao is not there, so I will replace his soil position." ”
Zhou He and the others instantly stood in their respective places, and the positions of several people stood in a circle shape according to the distribution of the five elements. This position is one of the five elements formation of Canglan Academy, and several teachers don't know how many times they have used this formation to kill all kinds of strong enemies.
After the formation of the formation, the dean glanced at everyone again, as if he felt that the Five Elements Formation was not enough, and suddenly operated out four thick Xuan Qi, covering the bodies of Zhou He and the others. After doing all this, the dean nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go." ”
The deeper they walked, the more inexplicable fear appeared in the hearts of Zhou He and the others, you know, since they became Xuanjun powerhouses, they no longer knew what fear was. But this place is too weird, even if it is illuminated by the flame in Zhou He's hand, it can only illuminate about a foot or so, and a foot away is darkness.
I don't know how long I walked, the flame in Zhou He's hand suddenly went out, and darkness instantly enveloped everyone.
Rao is well-informed, and after the darkness shrouded, his emotions gradually began to panic.
The dean spoke, "Don't panic and move on. ”
The dean's words seemed to give everyone great courage, and everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, and they continued to walk towards the distance step by step.
There was a section of the road in the middle that was a little wet and very sticky, and with the smell of blood in the air, everyone instantly understood what they were stepping on at the moment.
However, the people present with this kind of thing don't know how many times they have experienced it, so they didn't panic, but continued to move forward.
After moving forward for a long time again, a bright light gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and seeing this bright light, Zhou He and the others were shocked.
Zhan Tao maybe, right there!
There was a trace of doubt in the dean's eyes, when he was young, he had also followed the dean of the previous generation of Canglan Academy through the entrance of the Xuan Ghost Domain, that entrance had countless Xuan ghosts, but the entrance of this Xuan Ghost Domain, until now, there has not been a single Xuan ghost.
Could it be that all the ghosts at this entrance have been killed?
This idea was just raised, and it was cut off in the mind of the dean, even if it was killed by someone, it would be replenished in a steady stream of ghosts, not to mention, it was impossible to kill all the ghosts. So what's going on with this passage?
Perhaps, only after approaching the light will it be clear what is going on.
After having the light, everyone's confidence doubled, and regardless of the viscosity under their feet, they instantly accelerated their pace and ran towards the light.
When the light got closer and closer, a blurred figure suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes. After seeing this figure, everyone's eyes couldn't help but flash with joy, even if they watched it from a distance, they could see that this figure was the battle wave they had been searching for months.
Gongsun Wuming and Zhan Tao are best friends, at this time, after seeing Zhan Tao's figure, he didn't care about maintaining the operation of the formation, he instantly turned on his Xuan Qi, and rushed towards Zhan Tao at an accelerated speed!
It's just that after arriving at Zhan Tao's figure, Gongsun Wuming's pupils shrank suddenly.
At this moment, "Zhan Tao" had empty eyes, looking at the front blankly, there was no anger on his body, Gongsun Wuming couldn't help but be anxious, and when he was about to reach out to touch "Zhan Tao's" body, he was stopped by the dean's voice and froze in place.
"Ignorance, don't touch Zhan Tao, otherwise he will really die!"
