Chapter 19: Ghosts
"What's going on?"
Tie Ying's heart was in a hurry, and he and Xu Rong quickened their pace and came to a huge stone room.
The four people who came to the stone chamber first were back to back, looking around vigilantly.
Gao Han still looked very calm, and said expressionlessly: "There was a black shadow passing in front of us just now, and there is no other exit here except for the passage we entered, so it is very likely to be a ghost." ”
Even the creepy ghosts, in his mouth, don't seem to have anything special.
Tie Ying suddenly said: "I see, but don't be too afraid, like us, the martial arts cultivation is strong, and the blood is surging, for ordinary ghosts, it is no different from the sun, so it is not that we are afraid of them, but they should be afraid of us." ”
At this moment, Xu Rong's eyes moved slightly, and through the Soul Devouring Bead, he sensed the location of the ghost.
In the middle of this stone chamber, near the wall opposite the passage, there was a stone statue.
This stone statue, like the old woman in the painting outside, can't see the face clearly, but this stone statue looks a little strange compared to that painting.
Xu Rong walked towards the stone statue, and then with a movement of his heart, one after another ghosts were devoured by the Soul Devouring Bead.
So far, the Soul Eater Bead can only devour souls within a distance of about two meters centered on Xu Rong, so Xu Rong will only drive the Soul Eater Bead after getting closer.
And when these ghosts were all devoured by the Soul Eater Bead, Xu Rong suddenly found that the Soul Eater Bead was actually nearly half full of soul power.
In other words, he is not far from absorbing soul fragments next time, and he will definitely usher in progress when the time comes.
The Soul Eater Bead absorbed these ghosts, and at once it had so much more soul power, it was enough to catch up with fifty or sixty ordinary ghosts. ’
When an ordinary person dies, the soul will either dissipate.
And the martial artist is probably more determined, and because of the warmth of qi and blood, he can exist for a few more days.
According to the level of cultivation, the degree of soul condensation is different, and the number of days of existence is also different.
And these ghosts have obviously existed here for a long time, and it is normal to be stronger than ordinary ghosts, and the soul power they contribute is also a lot more than that of ordinary ghosts.
There was nothing else in the chamber other than this statue, and it appeared to be a secret meeting place.
After Xu Rong solved the ghost, his eyes looked at the stone wall at this time.
There are many paintings painted on the stone walls, most of which depict the sacrifice of this childless old mother.
These murals look a little old.
Xu Rong remembered what Tie Ying hadn't finished saying just now, and suddenly understood.
From these murals, it can be seen that the White Lotus Sect has been here for a short time.
Seeing that Xu Rong looked at the statue of the childless old mother, Tie Ying didn't seem to be afraid of ghosts at all, so he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" ”
Xu Rong turned his head to look at him: "What's the use of being afraid?" If we're afraid, won't the ghosts look for us? Didn't you say just now that the ghosts were afraid of us? ”
Tie Ying bowed slightly: "That's right, but even so, your courage is rare." ”
Ghosts are not such things as saying that they are not afraid, but mainly a matter of mentality.
At this time, Tie Ying suddenly said: "You stand aside, I will scorch this stone room with qi and blood." ”
Xu Rong followed the other four people to stand close to the entrance, and then felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.
At this time, the iron eagle was like a big furnace, exuding fluctuations of qi and blood, and that warm feeling removed the dampness in the stone room.
"With such a strong and condensed qi and blood, could it be that he is already in the Blood Furnace Realm?"
Xu Rong looked at Tie Ying in surprise.
He knew that Tie Ying was very strong, but he thought that Tie Ying was a martial artist in the Blood Exchange Realm, but he didn't expect that it would be the Blood Furnace Realm.
This was the first time Xu Rong had seen a living Blood Furnace Realm martial artist.
After a while, Tie Ying gathered his qi and blood, and then frowned and looked around.
He didn't feel any ghosts just now.
"Strange, could it be that the ghost has fled?"
Ghosts have the ability to blur and pass through walls, so even if they escape, it's not impossible.
He believed that Gao Han had really seen it just now, not an illusion.
"Then let's search for anything, can we find anything in this stone room?"
Xu Rong came to the statue again to see if there was anything unusual in the vicinity.
It stands to reason that this statue should have something extraordinary about being chosen as a place of refuge by these ghosts.
But Xu Rong checked it many times, and almost smashed the stone statue, but he didn't find anything special.
Others have also gained nothing.
Tie Ying looked up at the top of his head: "Judging from these murals, this White Lotus Sect has been rooted here for some years, the more this is the case, the more difficult it is for the White Lotus Sect to completely abandon this place, presumably there are people from the White Lotus Sect in this town who are paying attention to our movements." ”
Gao Han opened his mouth and asked, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
Compared to Tie Ying's rich experience, Gao Han seems to have relatively little experience, which makes Xu Rong a little strange.
Maybe it's because Gao Han is a lot younger? ’
Gao Han only looks at his appearance, he is about twenty-seven or eighteen, while Tie Ying is obviously forty years old or above.
"We just need to stay in the town for two days."
A mysterious smile appeared on Tie Ying's tough face, and the appearance of being a bamboo in his chest made everyone else trust him very much.
Gao Han bowed slightly: "Okay, there's nothing to find here, let's go out first." ”
At this moment, Xu Rong suddenly flew and kicked the statue down.
With a bang, the statue smashed to the ground, causing a lot of smoke and dust, and the statue also shattered into several pieces.
"Xu Rong, what are you?"
Tie Ying stared at Xu Rong, who suddenly made a huge movement, and couldn't help but fan it with his hand in front of him to avoid inhaling dust.
"I think this statue is a little weird, so I'm going to tear it down."
Xu Rong crushed these large stones, and suddenly made a discovery.
He bent down and picked up a lump of black objects about the size of two fists.
It was cold, and a chill spread up his arm.
Xu Rong's heart moved, and the power of qi and blood poured into his arm, dissolving this cold aura.
There is such an anomaly, which makes Xu Rong even more sure that this black, unknown metal thing, seems to be extraordinary.
Tie Ying sighed lightly, and his eyes fell on the black object in Xu Rong's hand: "It turned out to be Xuanyin Iron, I didn't expect that there was such a thing in this stone statue." ”
Xu Rong asked curiously, "What is the use of this Xuanyin Iron?" ”
