The canopy of the dead, along with the Shadow Island and the Grenada Desert, are known as the three mysterious places of the Beginning.

Now, there is the salt mud swamp where the Hall of Origin is located, and it is the fourth most mysterious place.

In fact, if the psychic master's footprints had ever crossed the Heavenly Road Plateau, he would find that the Flame Mountain Range was also a place where there was no return, where there was an ancient golden dragon, and its strength could also be among the best among the major mysterious places.

At the end of the day, there are too few places that psychics can reach. Now, there is the Shadow Island in the east, the Great Desert of Grenada in the south, the canopy of the dead in the north, and the majestic mountains and rivers of the Heavenly Road Plateau in the west. The area of the five major temples is like being surrounded by it, and it is basically impossible for psychics to get out of here.

With the vastness of the Origin Realm, if a psychic steps out of this familiar area, he will find all kinds of dangerous areas, as well as all kinds of treasures.

Ouyang Xiu corrected Lin's thoughts, the Origin Realm was not the smallest realm, but the largest world.

"Teacher, what is there in the Undead Heaven, why can't even the Ninth Rank Spirit Envoy retreat with his whole body," Lin asked, "Could it be that there is more than one Holy Spirit level existence in it, so that the Spirit Envoys don't even have a chance to escape." ”

Ouyang Xiu shook his head: "Although I have Kubster's amnesty order, I rarely have time to play...... There are so many things I need to do. So, what exactly is in the canopy of the dead, I don't know very well. ”

Lin suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked the teacher about the Shadow Council yet. Does the death of Professor Abner Pétain have anything to do with the teacher?

Lin asked as soon as he thought of it. Ouyang Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "Shadow Council...... They serve the fallen god of death. Abner Pétain, the old fellow, has deceived me for many years. I was on my last trip to Western Europe. Just go to him. ”

"Remember, the arachnid elf summoned by Philip Carter back then?" Ouyang Xiu asked suddenly.

"Yes. According to the teacher, even if you don't have enough charm, you can engrave the spider demon at the cost of your own faith. ”

"Yes, he believed in the spider god Rose. From this small clue, I knew that Philip Carter and Abner Pétain behind him were on the road of no return. So, I went to Petain and exercised the power of sanctions. ”

"You didn't make it clear at the time. What's the harm of believing in Rose, the spider god?" Lin asked.

Ouyang Xiu replied: "Rose, the spider evil god, is attached to the god of death, Naraku, this group of fallen gods is bent on controlling the kingdom of God, and invading the real world is an important step for them to control the kingdom of God. They invade the real world by tempting psychics into depravity, including giving powerful spirits to psychic followers. In addition, there is no need for marking conditions. The psychic who made this deal had in fact become slaves of the evil gods. ”

"So, the teacher killed Abner Pétain?" asked Lin.

"Yes. At the time I thought I had killed him, but in fact ...... This cunning old guy used the means of the golden cicada to shed its shell. Escaped by swindling. Now he is still one of the members of the Shadow Council, and he lives a very nourishing life. It's just that from the bright side, to the dark side. ”

"How did the teacher find out that he wasn't dead?" Lin was a little surprised.

Ouyang Xiu knocked on the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Our vein." The so-called 'arbiter' is actually a covenant with the Lord of Punishment to exercise the power of punishment in the real world instead of him. I later inquired and learned that Abner Pétain was not dead, but hiding in the headquarters of the Shadow Council. With Taiyi's protection, it will be much more difficult for me to kill him again. ”

When it comes to the Shadow Council, Lin still hates it. However, Ouyang Xiu's words just now contained a lot of information, and his attention was diverted.

"Teacher, what do you mean by saying 'our lineage' and making a covenant with the Lord of Punishment?" Lin asked.

"The arbiter line," Ouyang Xiu said in a natural tone, "I am the nineteenth generation arbiter, my teacher, that is, your ancestor, when I stepped into the realm of psychic master, passed this 'amnesty decree' to me, instructing me to continue to exercise the right of arbitration and protect the real world from the erosion of the kingdom of God." ”

"So, we have a lot of people too?" Lin had a feeling of finding organization.

"No, our vein is a single transmission," Ouyang Xiu said with a smile, "Otherwise, there is only one piece of the amnesty order, how can we divide it?"

"I'm not talking about senior brothers, I'm talking about junior brothers," Lin Xuan said, "Being an arbiter, alas, how can you do without a big group of junior brothers behind you." ”

Ouyang Xiu couldn't understand Lin's strange thoughts and shrugged.

"When you step into the realm of a psychic master, I will also pass on the amnesty decree to you. Ouyang Xiu said.

"What about you, will you retire?" Lin asked.

"yes, retirement...... It is also good to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the kingdom of God to raise flowers and plants. Ouyang Xiu said leisurely.

Time passed imperceptibly in the conversation between the two.

The sun obviously did not set, but the surrounding world had gradually become gloomy, Lin turned his head to look at the sun in the west, and the light emitted by the sun was strangely absorbed in this area.

On the ground were withered trees one after another, forming a startlingly dead forest. Lin knew that through this forest, behind him was the famous and mysterious place - the Death Canopy.

"Alright, let's land. If you fly too high, you can easily become a target. "Ouyang Xiu manipulated the Ink Feather Eagle Beast to land.

The two landed on the ground, and Ouyang Xiu withdrew the Ink Feather Eagle Beast.

There was a thick layer of rotting leaves on the ground, and stepping on it made my feet feel a little weak, as if I was stepping on the internal organs of some kind of large animal.

"Teacher, it's weird here," Lin said, "and even the sun is a little chilly." ”

"Well, this is the special regional effect of the Death Canopy, the daylight is completely absorbed by the ground, and there is not a trace of energy spilling out. So it's a lot colder than other places. ”

Continuing deeper along the road, you can stumble upon scattered monster corpses, the small ones are only a foot long, the large ones are several meters long, the skeletons are intact, and it is unknown what caused their deaths.

Soon, the two of them passed through the Dead Silent Woods and really came to the inside of the Death Canopy.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless wasteland, and on the wasteland, there are a few skeleton monsters, walking aimlessly.

"A few Waste-level skeletons...... It doesn't seem like much. Lin said with some contempt.

"Shhhh ”

Before Lin could speak, he suddenly noticed that the skeletons had slowly fallen down after walking a few steps, allowing the wind and sand to bury themselves in the ground. At the same time, there were several places on the ground, slowly sticking out of the withered bone claws, and then one by one skeletons crawled out of the ground.

"This is a patrolman," Ouyang Xiu said, "the real big force is underground...... It seems that as I suspected, this place is a paradise for the undead, and perhaps there is more than one lich in existence. ”

"Teacher, you said that you asked the lich to borrow the soul essence, what kind of thing is that?"

Ouyang Xiu replied, "Undead creatures below the Heroic Spirit level don't have their own minds. The undead above the Heroic Spirit have their own minds, and they rely on obsessions to maintain their own survival. If there is no attachment, they will be saved. And the soul essence is the embers of the soul fire of the immortal creatures of the heroic spirit level, when they let go of their obsessions and get salvation. Ouyang Xiu explained.

"That should be precious. Lin said incomprehensibly.

"Of course, soul essence, first of all, is a very rare thing. Then, it can be used on undead creatures to help potential undead creatures quickly awaken their memories and grow to the Heroic Spirit level. ”

"Be careful, don't alarm the skeleton patrols......," Ouyang Xiu said, and then he cast a stealth spell to cover the two of them.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu so careful, Lin also put away his contempt and walked forward step by step.

The route they chose was not a straight line, it was to avoid a few wandering skeleton patrols. Rao is like this, when Lin passed by, there was also a skeleton patrol just about to climb out to alternate, a thin bone claw broke through the surface of the ground and stretched out, and Lin didn't care, and broke a finger bone with one foot.

Lin was startled, but saw that the skeleton patrol continued to crawl out without realizing it, and it was not until the entire skeleton had crawled out of the ground that the soul fire in its eyes lit up.

"Don't worry," Ouyang Xiu said in a voice with his thoughts, "When the soul fire is not lit, this skeleton soldier is unconscious. Let's go. ”

Passing through the wasteland, a gray castle looms ahead. On either side of the road leading to the castle, are two rows of skeletons.

Lin thought it was a skeleton guard, but when he got closer, he realized that it was two rows of long-decaying corpses, and there was no soul fire in their eye sockets.

"These should be works that have failed to transform. Ouyang Xiu judged.

When the dead are transformed into undead creatures, even strong lichs, it is difficult to achieve 100% success, and there are always some dead people who are subconsciously unwilling to accept the fate of fall, and their soul fire is difficult to ignite.

"Now, shouldn't we knock on the door?" Lin and Ouyang Xiu stood in front of the rusted gate of the castle, and Lin asked.

"Well, this is the most polite method, and most importantly, without the guidance of the lich, it will be difficult for us to find the location of the soul essence. Ouyang Xiu replied. Unlike the Dragon's Lair, the terrain is vast, and there are many rooms in the castle, so it is difficult to steal the soul essence.

"Jie Ji ......" came a burst of eerie laughter, "uninvited guests...... Are you ready to join my army of the dead?" (To be continued......)
