Chapter 136: The Ghost Door Opens
It's late at night.
Ghost fog shrouded the entire Anyang City.
As soon as Ning Xiu entered the inn, he heard a sudden sound of clothes carrying the wind in the dark, and a figure flew down from the second floor and came to the lobby of the inn, it was Zhao Kaiyang of the Seven Star Sword Gate.
And Yu Shasha, Zhu Baye, and a few of them came to the lobby one step earlier, standing not far away at this time, looking down at the ground, as if they had found something.
Ning Xiu stepped forward and looked up, only to see seven or eight corpses lying on the ground, all of which were those monks left behind during the day. I saw that these people were distorted, staggering, as if they had been attacked and died suddenly, and they didn't even have time to resist.
When Zhao Kaiyang saw this scene, he was shocked and said, "Who did this?"
No matter who succeeded, being able to kill seven or eight monks who had cultivated their Qi in such a short period of time was enough to be shocked.
Several real people present, such as Zi'er and Mrs. White Bone, couldn't do this step if they asked themselves.
Ning Xiu glanced at the corpse, and suddenly spoke: "I remember that little brother in the felt hat said that the deaths of those disciples of the Wuji Sect who found the ghost sect were extremely miserable, all of them were hollowed out of their internal organs, but the causes of death of these people in front of them were obviously different from theirs. ”
As he spoke, Ning Xiu squatted down and reached out to touch one of the corpses, his brows furrowed slightly.
This corpse was cold from head to toe, and after the death of ordinary people, even in the wind and snow, it would take at least a moment for the blood to be cold, and as soon as this person died, he was immediately cold, which was enough to show that these people should have died under an extremely cold trick.
Look at the faces of these people, their faces are full of horror, and their eyes bulge out, as if they have seen something terrible.
And the purple lips and the cheeks that began to puff can indicate that these people were poisoned to death, and they were able to poison the monks who practiced Qi Dacheng in an instant, and the poisonous skills of the people who applied the poison were obviously extremely terrifying.
"Frost Poison Palm!"
Zhu Baye looked at the deaths of these people and exclaimed.
In the flickering firelight, the group of corpses on the ground looked indescribably hideous and terrifying.
At this time, Blood Without a Trace had also rushed in from outside the house, and when he happened to hear Zhu Baye's words, he couldn't help but gasp: "Is this really a frost poisonous palm?!"
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. Zhu Baye sneered.
"But this exercise, since the death of the Thousand Hands Poison King, should have been completely lost in the sea of stars. Zi'er asked.
"Since no one else knows this technique, could it be that the Thousand-Hand Poison King crawled out of the Netherworld and beat all these people to death?" Speaking of this, Zi'er suddenly laughed.
Just laughing and laughing, her voice became softer and softer unconsciously, and she looked around, but when she saw that everyone's faces were heavy and no one spoke, she herself felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
When this thousand-handed poison king was alive, he was a famous demonic giant in the sea of stars, but it was not comparable to a small role like the four murderers outside the territory.
At the height of his fame, the mention of the Thousand Hands Poison King was enough to make the child stop crying.
The cold wind howled and swayed back and forth against the inn's door.
At this moment, Ning Xiu suddenly heard a series of "Gege" soft voices, and when he looked up, he saw that Zhao Kaiyang, who was the head of the Seven Star Sword Sect, was actually fighting his teeth, and his body was trembling.
Ning Xiu and Yu Shasha were not from the sea of stars, so they didn't have a big reaction to the Frost Poison Palm and the Thousand Hands Poison King, they could only know from the reactions of others that this person was a very powerful demon cultivator in his life, but that was all.
However, the careful Ning Xiu found from Zhao Kaiyang's expression that things didn't seem to be so simple.
"What's wrong, did you find anything?" Ning Xiu looked at Zhao Kaiyang and asked.
"Huh?"
Zhao Kaiyang obviously didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he finally realized that Ning Xiu was talking to him. He glanced up at everyone and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "On the first night I came to Anyang City, in a ruined temple, I met Mr. Su Mu Baisu, the 'Xiao Sword Scholar'. ”
"Su Mubai actually came out of the mountain, and he also came to Anyang City?"
Zhu Baye frowned and said, "But what does this have to do with the Thousand-Hand Poison King." ”
"There was also a young woman with Mr. Su at that time, I thought she was very familiar at the time, and now when you mention the Thousand Hands Poison King, I just remembered that that person is the only daughter born to the Thousand Hands Poison King and Jingyue Anyue Bai Shitai, Yu Xiaoxiao"
Zhao Kaiyang looked at everyone, and then said: "When Yu Xiaoxiao's life experience was made public, it caused an uproar in the sea of stars, and the Demon Dao giant Thousand Hands Poison King actually had an adulterous affair with the Jingyue Nunnery Shenni, and also gave birth to a daughter. Mrs. Yuebai also committed suicide because of this incident, only to hear that she handed over her daughter to her close friend for adoption before she died, but she never thought that this person would be the 'Xiaojian Scholar' Su Mubai. ”
"In other words, the daughter of the Thousand-Hand Poison King is in Anyang City at this time, so is it possible that she killed these people?" said the White Bone Lady hoarsely.
"It shouldn't be, I've observed, Yu Xiaoxiao is only in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and she is not even as good as me, how can she kill so many people who are higher than her cultivation in such a short period of time. Zhao Kaiyang said.
"With your strength, if the other party deliberately hides the cultivation, you can detect it?" Lady White Bone sneered, and then spoke. "And don't forget that there is also Su Mubai by her side, this great cultivator who has already possessed the Initiation Dual Heavenly Cultivation thirty years ago. ”
“...... Me, me. Zhao Kaiyang was speechless for a while, wanting to refute, but he couldn't say it.
"Alright, there's no point in talking about this now, it's almost midnight, let's go to the mines outside the city. Zhu Baye said.
Rather than investigating the cause of these people's deaths, he paid more attention to the ghost door and the legend behind the ghost door.
"The eighth master is right. Lady Bones nodded, and then spoke. "Even if the Thousand-Handed Poison King is alive, he is by no means an opponent for so many of us. ”
The opinions of the people were quickly unanimous, no matter what kind of ghost thoughts these people had in their hearts, but before they reached the ghost gate, or before finding the inheritance of the exercises left by those great powers before the Netherworld, their goals were the same.
And to achieve this goal, they must cooperate with each other, because no one knows what dangers lie in this endless mist.
In this way, although there was no agreement in the mouths of the people, their footsteps flew towards the north of Anyang City, where the mine was located.
Judging from the body method alone, everyone has already been divided.
Don't look at Zhu Baye's fat and round body, but his speed is the fastest among the crowd, and he takes the lead. Blood Without a Trace followed, followed by Yu Shasha, Lady White Bone and Zi'er, and Ning Xiu followed unhurriedly, not much different from the three in the second echelon.
Zhao Kaiyang was miserable, he was the only one among the people present who had not yet entered the Dao, but fortunately, Ning Xiu and they did not exert their full strength, so he barely kept up far and was not left too far behind.
And Ning Xiu also deliberately slowed down, in order to ensure that Zhao Kaiyang always appeared in his sight.
Judging from a series of things just now, whether the person who made the shot, whether he was a human or a ghost, obviously knew how to distinguish the strength of the crowd, and deliberately looked for a weak cultivator to make a move.
Therefore, if among the people present, if the other party really wants to find someone to do it, then this person will definitely be Zhao Kaiyang.
Everyone went out of the city smoothly, and there was nothing wrong all the way, just when Ning Xiu thought that the other party was afraid that so many of them were afraid to make a move, a black shadow not far behind him shot towards Zhao Kaiyang at the back of the team.
Ning Xiu's face changed slightly, without saying a word, he also rushed towards Zhao Kaiyang almost at the same time, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Danger, get out of the way!"
At the same time that Zhao Kaiyuan heard Ning Xiu's shout, the black shadow had already arrived in front of him, his mind was almost blank, and his body instinctively reacted and rushed to the side.
This seems to be a dog eating, but it is the best performance of Zhao Kaiyang's monastic career so far.
This flutter is almost the epitome of his decades of cultivation.
Rumble!
The sneak attacker rubbed Zhao Kaiyang's body and slammed his palm to the ground.
The earth was immediately blasted out of a huge crater, and the surface of the pit was covered with a layer of cold ice crystals.
And at this moment, Ning Xiu swept his legs, and with a sharp sound of breaking the air, he slammed towards the black shadow.
The black shadow couldn't be recruited, and there was no way to avoid it, only to hear a loud "boom", and the black shadow was directly smashed into the ground.
The already huge pit expanded again, and the ice crystals on it instantly shattered into powder, giving it an indescribable beauty under the moonlit night.
Ning Xiu knew from Fang Cai's anti-shock force that the other party did not die or suffer heavy losses.
Without the slightest hesitation, he slammed his right foot on the ground, and the whole person rushed towards the black shadow in the dirt pit.
"Stop!"
Just then, a shout came from a distance.
Hearing the sound of "whooshing" breaking through the air, the two figures quickly approached Ning Xiu's side.
And Ning Xiu also learned from the breath of the visitor that the person who came was Mr. Su and Yu Xiaoxiao who saw him in the broken temple that day.
"Stop!"
Yu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, and Su Mubai, the "Xiaojian Scholar", appeared in front of Ning Xiu at the right time, blocking his way.
Seeing this, the black shadow roared like a wild beast, got up and ran into the distance, and soon disappeared into this mysterious ghostly mist.
At this time, Zhu Baye and the others in front also turned back when they heard the sound, and happened to see this scene.
Ning Xiu's strength they had seen with their own eyes, and they didn't want to lose such an important helper.
"Su Mubai, what do you mean!" Zhu Baye's eyes stared at Su Mubai and the others, and said coldly.
Because no matter how you look at it, Su Mubai and Yu Xiaoxiao are all in league with that black shadow.
Su Mubai looked at Zhu Baye and the others, did not respond, and protected Yu Xiaoxiao behind him without a trace.
"That woman is the daughter of the Thousand-Hand Poison King and the Yuebai Master, and those people in Anyang City were really killed by you. Lady White Bone stared at Yu Xiaoxiao in the distance and said hoarsely.
"No, we didn't kill anyone. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao walked out from behind Su Mubai and looked at everyone and said.
"We don't have to explain to them, let's go. Su Mubai said and took Yu Xiaoxiao's little hand and was about to leave.
"Don't want to leave until you explain things clearly!"
Mrs. White Bone screamed, raised the dragon head in her hand, and slammed it towards Yu Xiaoxiao's heart.
"Why do you want to stop me?"
Feeling the strong wind coming from behind him, Su Mubai sneered, only to hear a choking sound, he had pulled out the jade flute on his waist.
With a twist of his hand, the sword light lit up, like a pool of autumn water.
At the same time, the formidable sword aura filled the entire White Bone Lady's surroundings.
In such a short period of time, Su Mubai had already stabbed out more than ten swords with the sharp sword in his hand!
I only heard the sound of the sword wind breaking through the air, it was urgent and loud, and there were bursts of sharp and piercing sounds in the air.
These more than ten swords are faster than one.
In the end, even the voice was pierced by the sword in Su Mubai's hand, and the dragon head crutch in the hand of Lady Bai Gu was not ordinary at first glance, but it was actually cracked under Su Mubai's attack.
The crack stretched like a spider's web, and finally the whole dragon head crutch burst open.
Seeing that the sharp sword in Su Mubai's hand could pierce the throat of Mrs. White Bone, he reflexively grabbed Yu Xiaoxiao's collar and flew out into the distance.
With the existence of ghost fog, the figures of Su Mubai and Yu Xiaoxiao quickly disappeared.
Zhu Baye and the others looked at the direction they were leaving, hesitated, and did not chase after them after all.
No one will joke with their lives.
I saw Zhu Baye say in a deep voice: "This Yu Xiaoxiao did not hide her strength, so those people in Anyang City were not killed by her, and the black shadow of Fang Cai is very likely to be the Thousand-Hand Poison King who has been dead for many years." ”
Ning Xiu nodded, and opened his mouth to confirm Zhu Baye's words: "When Fang just fought with that black shadow, I felt a cold aura from him. ”
"Alright, let's move on, if their target is also Netherworld, sooner or later they will come across it. ”
The group nodded, and continued to walk north.
There were no twists and turns along the way, and I came to the mine outside Anyang City, and at the same time saw the legendary ghost door.
And at this time, the time of the child just came.
The ghost door slowly opened, and Ning Xiu and the others glanced at each other, and without any hesitation, they walked in one after another.
After entering the stone gate, there is a long narrow road that can only accommodate one person to enter.
Walking dozens of feet ahead, the road in front of me gradually widened.
Ning Xiu noticed some details, there were some artificially left marks on both sides of the passage, which looked like scratches, and there were traces of blood hidden in them.
As we went deeper into the cave, an eerie and cold aura became more and more obvious.
This breath made Zhu Baye's hearts beat faster, and at the same time, he was secretly surprised.
Guessing is right, this is indeed the legendary Netherworld.
Only Ning Xiu, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyelids jumped, and he always felt a little uneasy for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Yu Shasha on the side noticed Ning Xiu's reaction and asked.
Ning Xiu shook his head and said softly, "It's okay, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”
