Chapter 57: Valley of the Holy Spirit (Part II)

After Sun Wuji walked in, he turned around and carefully looked at the behemoth that had just blocked the Yongdao, and found that it was a 10,000-year-old Tai Sui, and only when it felt the temperature would it move away. Only then did Zhao Xuan attach his ears to Tai Sui's body, and after a period of time, Tai Sui felt the temperature, so he moved away.

Judging by its appearance, it should have been domesticated by the ghost clan, and its body has also changed, except for the head, tail, and the very central part, the rest have been petrified, or artificially turned its shell into stone.

A rare Tai Sui like this one is even more terrifying than a swamp, if it weren't for its shell turning to stone, people would be devoured by it as soon as they got close, and there would be no bones left.

Sun Wuji couldn't help but be a little shocked. Before, he heard the old man of the bamboo forest say that the Holy Spirit Valley was dangerous, and he didn't care, but now that he saw that this 10,000-year-old Tai Sui had also been domesticated, he knew that the old man was not alarmist, this Holy Spirit Valley ghost clan was really some powerful people, and then he had to be very careful, otherwise he really had a life to come in and not to go out.

"It's so beautiful...... Zhao Xuan exclaimed.

Sun Wuji turned to look into the valley, and was greeted by a peaceful and wonderful fairyland. Zhao Xuan and Huang Bailing were attracted by the fairyland in front of them, and looked at the colorful space stupidly, suddenly realizing how small and ignorant they should be.

For a moment, the two of them wanted to bow down and worship.

Sun Wuji looked at it for a while, and his consciousness began to be in a trance, and the urge to rush in immediately surged in his heart, but fortunately, the Taoist true qi in his body had a certain repulsive effect on this illusion, so that he would not fall immediately. However, the little sense of resistance in his mind was slowly disappearing, and it would not be long before he completely lost his self-control.

It wasn't until he was slapped on the shoulder that he quickly came to his senses and found that what his eyes saw was an illusion and could influence people's consciousness.

Behind him stood the golden retriever monkey, now nibbling on a wild fruit that had been picked out of nowhere.

Sun Wuji didn't bother to thank the monkey and looked at Huang Bailing and Zhao Xuan. Huang Bailing was a little better and looked at it stupidly. Zhao Xuan had already stretched out his hand, and he was about to jump down in the next second. In a hurry, Sun Wuji condensed his fingers, stepped forward and lightly touched the illusion in front of him, and injected the true qi of Wudang's pure heart and righteous thoughts into the illusion. The wonderful and fantastical painting began to burn from the place where Sun Wouji had pointed it, and after a while, it turned into wisps of black smoke and drifted out.

At this time, when you look at it again, it is like purgatory on earth.

Countless black mist floated in the air, a barren and dilapidated, and somewhat terrifying scene, and from time to time there was a thrilling roar.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.

Perhaps heaven is just the Valley of the Holy Spirit in the eyes of those ghosts who live here, and in their eyes, all this is the most beautiful scenery in the world. The black smoke is a colorful auspicious cloud, the dry bones are piled up into jagged rockeries and pavilions, and the occasional evil spirit that drifts by is a bird.

Even the rotten and mildewy grass and dead leaves on the ground have become green and fresh grasslands.

Huang Bailing and Zhao Xuan came to their senses and were terrified when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Senior Brother Sun, what's going on?" Huang Bailing clenched the long sword in his hand and asked with a little weakness.

Sun Wuji frowned and said: "It should be an illusion, if you break in rashly, you are afraid of ......, thanks to the little ape...... Sun Wuji then remembered the golden retriever monkey who saved the three people, turned around and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for saving your life......"

The golden monkey grinned at Sun Wuji, and lowered his head to nibble on the fruit.

Sun Wuji didn't say the consequences of rushing in, but Zhao Xuan and Huang Bailing understood. What they had just seen was an illusion, a trap deliberately created by the ghost clan to confuse the intruder, and if they rushed in desperately, they would have burped at this time.

Zhao Xuan wiped the cold sweat on his clothes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered, "What now?" ”

"Although the illusion has been lifted, it is full of weirdness here, so it's better to be careful......" Sun Wouji suddenly realized that the most important thing at present is not to mess with himself, and the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, and then said: "But it's nothing, with the little ape, it will definitely be able to turn evil into good ......."

Huang Bailing glanced at the golden monkey behind him who was concentrating on gnawing on the fruit, and said: "This place is full of gloom, and there is a smell of mildew and rottenness, and if you smoke too much, it will kill ......people, how can we get in?" ”

"Hehe" Zhao Xuan laughed and mocked: "Cousin, are you still the daughter of Huang Shenyi?" Is this little question stumping you? ”。

Although Huang Bailing was born in a family of divine doctors, she is still a disciple of Cangwu Zodiac who is proficient in medicine, but she herself knows nothing about medicine, so she has not been scolded by her father and master, but fortunately, she is a rare genius of cultivation in the heavenly immortal bones, and Cangwu Mountain is reluctant to accept her under the door.

"Cut, don't you also inherit my Huang family's medical skills, you have the ability to go down!" Huang Bailing was very unconvinced.

Zhao Xuan took out a gourd from his arms, poured out three jet-black pills from it and said: "You will know if I have the ability in a moment, if you believe me, eat this pill, and I will protect you from those poisonous gases......"

Sun Wuji took the pill and swallowed it without saying a word, Huang Bailing was half convinced and refused to take it.

"Cousin! If you're afraid, just wait for us here, you're a woman, we can understand" Zhao Xuan knew his cousin's temper and deliberately provoked her.

This trick really worked, Huang Bailing said angrily: "Without your medicine, I won't invade ...... poison", jumped down after speaking, and looked at Zhao Xuan provocatively.

Sun Wuji glanced at Zhao Xuan, grabbed his arm, and the two jumped down.

The three of them cautiously walked through a long path full of dry bones, but no living thing was found in between.

Zhao Xuan has hunted a lot of prey, skinned and dismantled bones, but looking at these bones stacked together today, he still can't help but feel a chill down his spine, and his hairs stand on end.

Fortunately, he couldn't see the hideous spirits around him, otherwise he might have been scared to pee.

Sun Wuji turned his head and saw Huang Bailing's calm face, thinking that he was worthy of being a disciple of Cangwu, in such a gloomy and terrifying place, he could still not be shocked, his heart was like an ancient well, how strong was his concentration and how much courage did he have? Even if it's yourself, you're ashamed!

Huang Bailing glanced at the trembling Zhao Xuan and quipped, "Cousin, what are you shaking?"

Although Zhao Xuan couldn't see the spirit body, every time those evil spirits pounced, he could feel a cold wind blowing towards him, as if he was being blown by the cold wind of winter, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Zhao Xuan was engrossed at this time, his nerves were tense, and he didn't care about arguing with his cousin, and looked around nervously.

"Would you like to see something?" Huang Bailing asked again.

Zhao Xuan looked left and right nervously, but said, "What is it?"

Sun Wuji knew what Huang Bailing wanted to show Zhao Xuan, and shook his head at Huang Bailing, signaling that she couldn't let Zhao Xuan see those spirits.

Sun Wuji saw Zhao Xuan's Adam's apple squirm a few times, he should be swallowing saliva, looking at his appearance, most of them were already extremely nervous at this time, and when he saw those spirits, he was afraid that he would be paralyzed on the ground.

Huang Bailing also understood that now was not the time to joke, so he dispelled the idea of playing tricks on Zhao Xuan, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, follow up!"

Walking through a wilderness, I saw a stone cave in the distance, and a person stood on the left and right sides of the cave entrance.

Sun Wuji pulled Zhao Xuan up and reminded Huang Bailing, and the three of them walked quickly to a boulder and hid. Sun Wuji said in a low voice: "It should be their lair in front, be careful......"

Huang Bailing nodded and said softly, "What should I do next?"

Sun Wou-Ki didn't know what to do.

said that he was here to check on Gu worms, but there was no clue at all, so he broke in with enthusiasm, and when it was really time to put it into action, he was also at a loss.

Zhao Xuan, who had been looking around uneasily, found a canyon, tugged at the corner of Sun Wuji's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Look there......"

Sun Wuji looked in the direction of Zhao Xuan's finger, only to see that on the left side of the guarded cave, there seemed to be a canyon about two zhang wide behind a pile of white bones. Since you can't break into the cave, you can go to the canyon and maybe find something.

said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is not the most powerful hunter in Nanwu, he is bold and careful, let's go there and have a look......"

Although Zhao Xuan enjoyed this kind of flattery very much, he didn't dare to snort at this time, just smiled and stopped talking. The three of them quietly bypassed the white bones and quickly ran into the canyon.

After walking about half a pillar of incense, a forest appeared in front of me, and I finally had some life. Although the smell of mildew and decay is still there, at least there are no bones and spirits, and it is not so terrifying.

After walking for a while, I found that a few wooden houses appeared here and there were scattered in the forest, and there were still human figures moving in the wooden houses.

The three of them quietly approached a wooden house far away from the other houses, and while the people inside were not paying attention, they broke down the door and quickly subdued the two people in the wooden house.

The two of them looked like two people, the man was extremely ugly, with red hair, deep-set temples, his nose and mouth were almost connected, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and he was only as tall as Sun Wouji's chest, but his body was full of tendon flesh.

Seeing the three strangers, the man whined and said something in horror, but no one understood. The woman next to her was stunned, and sat on the ground against the wall, her head tucked between her legs, shivering.

After asking for a long time, it was like playing the piano to a cow, and neither side understood what the other was saying.

Huang Bailing walked over and pointed at the woman with a long sword and said, "Who are you?" ”

The woman didn't say a word, like a frightened little white rabbit, trembling vigorously. Zhao Xuan walked over and said in South Vietnamese: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we just want to ask you a few questions, as long as you answer truthfully, we promise not to hurt you......"

The woman seemed to understand Zhao Xuan's words, slowly raised her head, and saw a bright sword pointing at her, so frightened that she retracted her head again.

Zhao Xuan patiently persuaded again, but the woman never dared to raise her head again.

"It's definitely not a good person to live here, you can kill it with a sword...... Huang Bailing also said in South Vietnamese.

Hearing that they were going to kill themselves, the woman fell to her knees and begged for mercy in South Vietnamese: "Don't kill me, I will tell you everything, please don't kill me......"

The man who was subdued by Sun Wou-Ki saw that the woman had succumbed, and scolded angrily. Sun Wuji was not used to it, and slapped his palm on the man's neck, and the man immediately fainted.

"Who are you?" Huang Bailing asked.

When the woman saw her man knocked unconscious by Sun Wuji, as if relieved, she cried: "I am from Fuliu Village outside Nan'an City, and I followed my father up the mountain to collect medicine a few years ago, and I was brought here to ......."

The woman chattered a lot, but Sun Wuji didn't understand a word.

But Huang Bailing and Zhao Xuan heard clearly, she was originally a villager near Nan'an City, but she was caught here because she went up the mountain to collect medicine, and after being spoiled by some ghost king, she traveled to many people, and was finally bought to the ugly man in front of her.

This man is a master of Gu cultivation, and he planted Gu in her body, so she had no choice but to follow him, and she survived.

Hearing this, the angry Zhao Xuan scolded: "A group of beasts ......"

Then I remembered my parents who also went up the mountain to collect medicine and disappeared, and said anxiously: "Are there other people here who have not been caught on the mountain?" ”

The woman nodded and said, "There are many women here who were captured from nearby villages......

Zhao Xuan was both happy and worried after hearing this, if his parents were really caught here, then they must have suffered inhuman treatment, according to his mother's character, I am afraid that they will not be able to live now.

"Did you come from Nanbu Castle?" Zhao Xuan squatted in front of the woman, grabbed the woman's shoulders with both hands, and asked sharply.

The woman only felt that her shoulders were about to be crushed by the man in front of her, her face was pale in pain, and she was sweating profusely, Huang Bailing saw this, and hurriedly pulled her cousin away and said, "Don't get excited, just ask slowly......"

The woman slowed down for a while before she said again, "I haven't heard of a ...... from Nanwu Castle."

Zhao Xuan sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking in a trance, as if he had lost his soul.

Sun Wuji stepped forward, squatted down and patted Zhao Xuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as they are alive, we will definitely be able to find ......"

After comforting Zhao Xuan, Sun Wuji looked at Huang Bailing and said, "You ask her if there are any other people besides here who can also use witchcraft?" ”

The woman glanced up at Sun Wuji and said, "He said that the magic of witchcraft is the secret art of the Holy Spirit Valley, and it is never passed on to the ......outside world."

"What is the technique of Gu cultivation?"

"There are only two ways to plant Gu for people, one is to put Gu in the diet, this method can be done without direct contact, and the other is that those powerful wizards plant Gu on the spot through Taoism ......"

Sun Wuji seemed to understand how Senior Brother Zhang was tricked, but what if he said that he would be tricked into him? How did this Gu come about?

Sun Wou-Ki also fell into deep thought, and the wooden house fell silent for a while.

Huang Bailing remembered his mission to enter the Valley of the Holy Spirit this time, and asked, "Do you know who can domesticate beasts here?" ”

The woman thought for a while and said, "Ordinary beasts, they can all be domesticated, but those ferocious beasts, only three people in the entire Holy Spirit Valley have the ability to domesticate, one of them is the ruler of the Holy Spirit Valley, the Ghost King, and the remaining two are the left and right protectors of the Ghost King......

"Have you ever seen a tiger with wings?" Huang Bailing asked again.

The woman seemed to be frightened, her eyes widened, and she said in horror: "That's the spiritual pet of the Left Protector, it's it that bites my father to death, it's it...... That's it......"

The woman kept repeating: "It's ......", as if she was delirious.
