Chapter 1: The Ghost Domain

Ye Ziluo closed his eyes and soothed the eye discomfort caused by the drastic change in light. After a moment, he looked around with interest. The teleportation array he was in was on the edge of a small basin, surrounded by red dirt and rocks, the basin was bare, and there was not a trace of green or life in sight, and in the cold moonlight, it all seemed to have an indescribable sadness.

The night sky is inky blue, as starry as Kaz's starry sky, the only difference is the moon, under the background of the stars in the night, the two rounds of crescent moon are strange and inexplicable, and the two rounds of crescent moon not far from each other are like a circle divided into two halves, emitting a faint blue light, and like two extremely sharp crescent scimitars, coldly hostile.

Ye Ziluo stared up blankly for a long time, and suddenly realized that he was on a different planet, and he himself estimated that he was one of the very few people on earth who could come to outer space.

Not far away, two black shadows that flew by trembled when they heard the sound, and they almost fell from the air. One of them lowered his voice and said, "Listen, what is that sound?" The other forced to calm down: "Ah, this is just a red hill, and I haven't heard of any big monsters." If there is, it is only in that direction. He said with a pout to the west.

The wolf howl came again, and the first person couldn't help but shudder again: "It can't be a monster from that direction, right?" It's not a day or two that we've been sent to walk from this teleportation array, and nothing strange has ever happened, so is it possible that we have to encounter it? ”

As he spoke, his face became more and more pale.

The other also looked embarrassed, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "No matter what......"

"Let's run, ah~~~~~~" The two of them screamed together, and ran away in a puff of smoke amid the unfathomable roar of the monster.

Ye Ziluo roared in a comfortable mood, extremely happy, his ears moved suddenly, "Hey, did I hear it wrong, it seems that someone was really screaming just now~~~~"

After listening intently, "Well, maybe I really misheard." He rubbed his head and smiled like a silly boy.

It's just that his head is not very comfortable to touch, the short hair he always left on the earth is fluffy and hard, and it feels a little textured, but after the Dan period, his hair inexplicably lengthens to the shoulders, and the hair quality is terrible, and when he was in infancy, his hair suddenly grew to the waist, thick and black and slippery, in short, it is better than any woman's hair, and every time the smooth and delicate touch, I don't know whether it is better for Ye Ziluo to laugh or cry. So much so that the action of touching the head, because the hair is too slippery, the hand will slide down, which seems to be Gu Ying's self-pitying behavior.

Shaking his hand, like shaking off the touch on his hand, Ye Ziluo stepped lightly, and the whole person was like a floating cloud, sliding forward lightly, that leisurely and elegant posture was better than a leisurely stroll.

Leaping up the low hills, looking far into the distance, all you can see is the oppressive crimson earth, desolate, and there is no sound in your ears except for the low sound of the wind, as if it had been so silent since ancient times. Ye Ziluo sighed: "It's really a lonely feeling. ”

"Is this desolate? You can use your divine sense to know how many creatures there are. The Demon Emperor disagreed.

"This, of course." Ye Ziluo blinked, of course he knew that there were unknown beings moving on the ground under his feet, but this could not affect the lifeless impression caused by the visual impact.

The Demon Emperor said lightly: "Compared to those lifeless planets, or planets with only one or two types of life, are called desolate." Many demons or immortals like to live alone, and there are a few who are secluded and special, living alone on lifeless planets. As far as the eye can see, there are either endless mountains and rocks or deserts, and no matter how far you go, the scenery does not change at all, like an endless dead land. Of course, there is indeed a dead place there. There wasn't any life, not even any sound, and it was a maddening place. ”

Ye Ziluo shuddered, that kind of place was full of loneliness and despair, and it was by no means suitable for human habitation.

Hearing his heart, the Demon Emperor smiled slightly, "I have no intention of meeting someone in such a place. ”

"Ah----" Ye Ziluo exclaimed in surprise.

"She was a prisoner, abandoned in that silent prison. Well, it's about fourteen or fifteen years of your human age. ”

Ye Ziluo was taken aback again, and then became very angry: "To survive in that kind of place, it is either an immortal or a demon, but no matter what he is, no matter what he does wrong, it is too inhumane to be locked up in that kind of place at such a young age, I think that the person who detains him should be punished by heaven." Did he do anything? ”

The Demon Emperor nodded appreciatively, he just couldn't get used to this, so he took the little girl away. "Later, I took her." The Demon Emperor's tone revealed a faint sense of nostalgia. That little girl is one of the heroes who assisted him to become the Demon Emperor. Speaking of which, I haven't seen those loyal men for more than 3,000 years. Now, the Demon Realm, which respects strength, doesn't know what has become of chaos.

Ye Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

"Lord Cang is really a good person." He grinned again and added a flattering sentence. Cangtong is a self-respecting and self-willed and proud person, but his happiness and hatred are also heartbreaking, that kind of rash behavior and speech, it is not difficult to get along at all, and even after a long time, he has brought out a bit of a bad part of his character. Ye Ziluo reflected.

In fact, he also knew that his mind was completely different from his original rules, and his vision of the world had changed, and he had shaken off the shackles and burdens in the red dust of the world, and his natural instinct began to gradually reveal.

stripped of the usual calm appearance in the workplace, he actually has the chic of a smooth life.

In this way, such an occasional naughty joke is extremely normal, not to mention, he has taken it upon himself to regard Cang Tong as a teacher, friend and brother.

Ye Ziluo looks honest, but he can act and many ideas that do not fall into the clichΓ©s of the cultivation realm, the bizarre views that regard all beings as equal and the frank attitude of no respect and humility, coincide with the unruly and square Demon Emperor, in the eyes of others, Ye Ziluo's bold and impolite jokes are quite appetizing to Cangtong, well, it is quite appetizing.

Yes, hearing this, Cangtong unceremoniously "cut".

Ye Ziluo squinted, pointed to the west, and shouted quite magnificently: "Okay, let's go in that direction----"

There was a shadow in that direction, too far to see it really, and Ye Ziluo wished it was a dense forest, or a town.

He didn't know that the direction he was pointing in was exactly where the two men in black didn't even want to mention it.

The wind swept up the heavy dust on the ground and raised turbid waves. Ye Ziluo slowly swept through the sky, watching the reddish-brown wind sweep under his feet. The dust that occasionally drifted up with the wind spontaneously dispersed spontaneously as if it was repelled by something far away from Ye Ziluo, and not the tiniest speck of dust fell on Ye Ziluo's white clothes, as if Ye Ziluo's body was covered with a transparent protective layer.

It had taken half a day to fly here from the basin, and I was greeted by a strong wind from nowhere, but this strong wind was very strange, only tumbling and rolling at a height of two feet above the ground. Ye Ziluo flew higher, and he would be safe and sound.

Seeing this, he couldn't tell for a moment whether this was due to Long Jixing's unique weather or what kind of cultivation realm formation.

It's been flying on the wind layer for two hours, so if it's a formation, why hasn't there been any change?

As soon as this thought was over, Ye Ziluo suddenly felt a strong attack, and his figure with a sword flickered, and then he was hit far away!

Attacked? In the middle of his thoughts, Ye Ziluo took a long breath, his spiritual power suddenly expanded, and the figure that was thrown out suddenly fell, and he took advantage of the momentum to move, and even the person with a sword was several feet high, and spun around in the air.

Looking back, I couldn't help but be surprised, it wasn't an enemy that struck me, but a wind whirlwind!

The wind that rose to the sky swirled and whistled towards Ye Ziluo, even Ye Ziluo now, who was also shocked into a cold sweat.

As soon as his body moved, he was about to retreat, and his back was suddenly cold, Ye Ziluo's heart was awe-inspiring, and he rushed forward without reluctance, and then quickly rushed to the tornado in front of him, and when he looked back, the position he was standing just now had been occupied by four huge tornadoes!

Only rushed over! Looking at the overwhelming tornado, Ye Ziluo immediately made a decision. The feet did not stop, and rushed back with the "moonlight". As soon as his mind moved, a white bracelet suddenly appeared in his hand, it was Su Yuhuan. He threw Su Yuhuan up and pinched the spirit trick, and Su Yuhuan immediately became bigger like a circle with a "swish", and encircled Ye Ziluo right inside. The long hair and clothes curled by the wind suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that Su Yuhuan could withstand the strong wind, Ye Ziluo was a little relieved in his heart. Silently using spiritual power, concentrating on the divine light, Ye Ziluo shuttled between tornadoes flexibly, like a boat floating in the stormy waves!

He is like a swallow, and he seems to be extremely light, but only he knows the suffering. He shuttled in the fierce wind like this, as long as he was accidentally rubbed by the strong wind, his whole body was like being hit by a sledgehammer, and he was shocked several times, and his spiritual power was almost scattered, if he lost his mind for a little longer, Su Yuhuan and the Moonlight Sword lost control, it is estimated that he would be broken into broken bones by the wind in one second!

At the same time, as time passed, the spiritual power consumed gradually increased, and even his cultivation in his infancy gradually became difficult. Ye Ziluo's face was calm, but he was already screaming in his heart, but his mind was spinning and turning, and he couldn't come up with a useful idea.

Just as a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the tornado suddenly dissipated into the air like a figure made of sand, as if it was blown away by the wind.

Ye Ziluo looked at the silent starry sky in a daze, and looked at the calm red earth under his feet in a daze, the wind layer in the low sky behind him was still rolling, but the high sky was as calm as before, and the roar that was so fierce that it wanted to deaf the ears echoed in his ears, but the terrible tornado did not know where to go.

After a while, Ye Ziluo let out a sigh of relief.

The wind layer below is indeed very strange, like a cross-section appeared on the ground out of thin air, the end of the section only has a gentle breeze, the ground is fresh and clean, this should not be a natural phenomenon. Is it really a cultivator's thing?

Ye Ziluo slowly landed on the ground.

Or did he go in the wrong direction? He suddenly felt so.

It was supposed to be a large lake. The lake is surrounded by low stone pillars. Nowadays, the railings made of those stone pillars are crooked, and the exquisite carvings can still be seen on the stone bodies lying in the dust, but they have experienced the wind and frost of the years, and they are no longer as beautiful as they were in the past.

Perhaps, this is a beautiful place.

Ye Ziluo took a few steps forward and stood by a stone fence that fell to the ground, caressing the cloud-shaped decoration. Years can change a lot. No matter how beautiful it is, it can't withstand the wind and sand and years.

I don't know if the cultivator is an exception, thinking about it, Ye Ziluo's mood perked up again.

Ye Ziluo looked down at the bottom of the dry lake. The bottom of the lake had long since cracked, and the color and dryness of the soil were no different from those beneath his feet.

It was hard for him to imagine that there had been such a large lake in this whole dead hill. I don't know when the lake began to dry up, leaving only a deep pit for future generations to admire.

In the center of the deep pit, a corner of the stone ground and a series of stone steps are faintly exposed, as if leading to the depths of the earth, there is a secret passage at the bottom of the lake?!

Ye Ziluo looked at the meeting from afar.

It's really funny. He was amazed.

However, Ye Ziluo had no intention of going down to explore the secret, but instead picked a piece of open space to lay down the invisible array and the return array, and then took out a small piece of the best spar and began to cultivate.

Consuming too much spiritual power in the fierce wind, whether it was the hidden lake bottom passage or what, he always felt that the top priority was to replenish his strength.

The small pieces of the best spar were consumed, and the leaf Luo's spiritual power was fully restored.

Without opening his eyes, his thoughts spread out in all directions.

The red earth has a peculiar smell of wind and sand, slightly dry, and strange, there is not a single living creature in the depths of the mud here, and there seems to be strange fluctuations in the wind, which is disturbing and anxious.

He frowned, feeling that the air here was full of dark and complicated emotions.

Not in a hurry to get up, he began to ponder his formation again, he felt it when he set up the formation just now, it was really cumbersome to deploy two formations in a row, if the stealth array and the return formation were combined, at least it would have a lot of effect against the enemy.

Hehe, imagine the scene when the enemy stepped on the battle without noticing, Ye Ziluo laughed evilly.

In that case, the effect of the invisible attack array was even better, and all kinds of wonderful ideas came out in an endless stream, Ye Ziluo forgot his original purpose for a while, and sat cross-legged with great interest, studying his formation.

Or is it better to have an invisible phantom array? Ye Ziluo smiled evilly, and his hands laid out various small test formations one after another, and he had a lot of fun.

When he finally formed an invisible array that concealed the strike of thunder and lightning and a phantom array plus an invisible array, he was very proud, the former was named "Thunder and Lightning Trap", this name is quite appropriate, as long as you accidentally step into this invisible array, you will be attacked by eighteen thunderbolts in a row, which is very terrifying, and the latter is named "Phantom Array", which can not only make people easily fall into the phantom array, but Ye Ziluo can also haunt and hide in the phantom array at any time and ambush the enemy.

The wonderful thing is that after the formations are connected, the degree of trouble in arranging them is not higher than that of laying out separate formations.

"I don't know what you're thinking." Cang Tong sighed in a low voice, not knowing whether to praise Ye Ziluo's wisdom or lament his cunning and evil eyes.

But looking at the Demon Emperor's person, well, it seems that the former is a little more likely.

At least Ye Ziluo listened to it as a compliment.

He was about to say "thank you" when he caught a faint light laugh ~~~~~

Hearing the prestige, the leaves were frozen----- white marble-like carved railings glowing faintly in the sun, neatly erected there, weeping willows, swaying with the wind, sparkling on the surface of the lake, floating a water-based plant, thick green heart-shaped leaves clustered with white or purple flower spikes, dotted with green lake surface is extraordinarily delicate. A young girl stepped on the water, her long silver-white hair was as pure as the moonlight, her skin was like snow, her eyes were like stars, her lips were delicate, both holy and innocent, and she was wearing a silver-white dress inlaid with gold threads floating on the surface of the lake, revealing her arms as smooth as jade.

The girl smiled innocently, and from time to time bent down to pick up the bouquet of flowers in the water and held it in her arms.

Faintly soft laughter from far and near.

There is a burst of floating incense in the air, is it the fragrance of flowers, or the fragrance of beauty?

Ye Ziluo couldn't move for a long time. If he's a painter, he must paint this scene, and if he is a photographer, he must ----, doesn't he have a camera?

Ye Ziluo hurriedly went to the bracelet to pick up his digital camera, he had missed too many things, and he didn't want to forget to take such a beautiful and touching picture.

However, can a mirage be photographed? Perhaps, what kind of theory is this, Ye Ziluo thought of the so-called magnetic field effect, due to the existence of the underground magnetic field, inadvertently recorded hundreds or thousands of years ago, and replayed it under certain conditions, just like a movie, so it is even more impossible to shoot it, right?

While thinking wildly, Ye Ziluo still raised the camera and pressed the shutter, and with a "snap", Ye Ziluo looked at the blank LCD screen, revealing a sure look.

A sweet smell of fruit wafted into his nose, Ye Ziluo raised his eyes, and his heart was stunned---- the girl walked out of the lake and stood in front of him at some point!

The girl's hair fluttered gently, like a white snowflake, her eyes were blue and clear like a clear sky, with a childlike sweet smile, and the bouquet of flowers wrapped in her arms was brilliant and colorful, compared with the girl's face, but it was eclipsed.

The gold bracelet on her wrist was carved with flowers, swaying slightly.

As if she was looking at herself and smiling at herself---- Ye Ziluo felt a chill down her spine in an instant, and suddenly woke up from her confusion, and even instinctively jumped back two steps!

That's impossible! The lake here had dried up to the bottom, and the stone fence had fallen into the dust, all of which was not real, including the maiden!

Could it be that there was already a person standing in the scene he was standing in this picture recorded a hundred or thousand years ago, and the girl was staring at that person?

I heard a faint laughter in my ears again, and the girl laughed so hard that the beauty of the smile made the sun and the moon fade. She turned away lightly, took a few steps, and then turned back to him and smiled, a little mischievous.

Ye Ziluo's heart was beating sharply, and he subconsciously took a step.

As soon as the foot hit the ground, his heart shook again, and cold sweat flowed down. Looking at the girl's beautiful smile, he didn't dare to take a step forward.

He only felt that every time the girl looked back and smiled, his heart swayed for a while, and it was almost difficult to control himself, and he hated to go with her immediately, on the other hand, the girl was already frightened in his mind to be included in the category of "ghosts", and it was the kind of "ghost" that would kill people, but his mind was as if he was lost.

Ye Ziluo's mind and reason struggled, the girl turned back step by step, and finally came to the white corridor, she sighed resentfully, that glance made Ye Ziluo struggle for a while, and the girl's figure slowly disappeared into the corridor.

Ye Ziluo stroked his forehead and sighed, his heart palpitated, and the placket behind his back was soaked with cold sweat. "It's so charming, even if I knew she wasn't real, I almost left with her. It's scary. He was thrilled, not daring to imagine what would happen if he really went with her.

He didn't know that the reason why he was able to resist the temptation was related to his several painful trials, and his willpower was tempered to be extremely strong in the pain of resisting the forcible expansion of his veins. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many cultivators have died here, and there are only a handful of people who can escape this tribulation, and the cultivation strength of those people is the weakest in the early stage of the tribulation.

The Demon Emperor teased improperly: "That's because you don't see too many beauties, so you almost walked with a skeleton." ”

Skeleton?! Ye Ziluo almost choked on saliva, "Is there such a beautiful skeleton?" He argued indignantly. God knew that he was about to admire his firm perseverance, but he didn't expect the Demon Emperor to blow it completely with a word.

Cang Tong shrugged: "It's a skeleton, what I see is a skeleton, her death is so heavy, don't you feel it?" Of course you see it with your eyes, but if you look at it with your sense, it's the same as what I see, it's obviously just a pile of white bones, and when you walk up, your jaw is about to fall off when you laugh, and you have a bunch of corpse eaters in your arms~~~~~"

"Please don't say it~~~~" Ye Ziluo rushed to the side and vomited.

Cangtong didn't expect that his words would cause Ye Ziluo to see the big beauty in the future, so he would habitually use his divine sense to take a look at it.

When a gust of wind blows, the willow trees, stone fences, lakes, huge courtyards, and corridors are like broken ceramics, cracked into pieces, and then turned into dust in the light breeze and flew all over the sky.

Ye Ziluo looked at the dusty sky with amazement, and his heart was full of inexplicable vicissitudes.

The wind stops. Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Everything is back to before, but with a little different. Whether it is at the bottom of the lake or on the hills, there are many white bones, white bones, scattered all over the ground, and there are many magic weapons such as flying swords and jade rulers inserted on the ground at will.

This is the real face, from the beginning to the later beauty, it is all illusions, what a terrible illusion!

Ye Ziluo shuddered with some fear. He almost walked in the footsteps of those white bones~~~~

There was a half-human-high stone tablet not far from his feet, Ye Ziluo leaned over to dust off it, and the two big words "Ghost Domain" were revealed.

"---- Ghost Domain?" Ye Ziluo smiled bitterly, he came to a terrible place----
