Chapter 878: Formation
I use the eyes of delusion to spy on the way forward.
In front of the mist, there was a blue-gray wall of high strength, standing in front of me.
The walls stretch to both sides as if endlessly. I looked up and could only see the gray sky, as if they were reaching all the way to the horizon.
The incantations engraved on the walls were like patches of dried blood, which looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The incantations were arranged in formations, exuding majestic energy fluctuations.
Directly in front of me was a huge array gate.
The wide doorway seems to accommodate a mountain peak.
Inside the door, a dark viscous funnel cloud tumbled, as if devouring everything.
Inside the carriage, Li Mengchun seemed to sense something, frowned and came out of the carriage, and said in a sullen tone, "Dad, hug."
I picked up Li Mengchun, put the carriage into the storage ring, and walked forward.
The closer you get to the Land of the Dead, the more dangerous it becomes.
Riding on a bone spirit horse, it is easy to become a live target, and it is safer to walk.
I asked, "Mengchun, is it okay to let Bai Ling hold you?"
"Not good."
Li Mengchun refused very simply.
I smiled helplessly, "On the road ahead, there may be danger, Dad is not good to hold you and fight with bad guys."
Li Mengchun deftly turned over, climbed up from my arms, and sat on my head with his neck on his shoulder.
"Dad, the smell of this land is very strange, I want to stay by your side to protect you!"
Li Mengchun's small face had a particularly serious expression.
I laughed dumbly, and had to let her hang on top of me.
Bai Ling stood nervously beside me, his two dark eyes, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
I asked, "Do I need to go through the formalities to enter the Land of the Dead?"
Bai Ling: "No, just go in."
"There are countless evil spirits entrenched in the land of the dead, and it is best for you to leave as soon as possible after you are done!"
Until I stood at the door of the Land of the Dead, I was in no danger.
I took out a wasteland crystal from my bosom and threw it to Bai Ling, "Your mission is complete, go back."
Bai Ling happily took it and asked expectantly, "Lord Zhuge , can I follow you in and purchase something?"
I said, "You can stay with me, but I won't protect you in a dangerous situation."
Bai Ling bowed deeply, "Thank you, Lord Zhuge !"
I stared intently at the pitch-black viscous teleportation array, and after making sure that there was no danger, I grabbed Li Mengchun's small hand.
"You might get a little dizzy later, so if you're afraid, close your eyes and hug your dad."
Li Mengchun said in a milky voice: "I want to protect my father, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"What a good daughter for me."
I stepped out and drilled into the formation ahead.
In an instant, all the light dissipated, and we seemed to be swallowed up by the huge mouth of the glutton, and after a whirlwind, we slowly fell into a desolate land.
As far as the eye could see, it was shrouded in a thick black fog, and even the air was filled with an oppressive aura.
The dilapidated mud houses and tiled houses loom in the thick fog, and the dilapidated appearance seems to have been abandoned for hundreds of years.
Bai Ling took out a wide and bloated white cloak from the storage ring and draped it over his body.
"Lord Zhuge , almost all of the people who live here are ghosts."
"I suggest you dress up and try to pretend to be ghosts, so that they think we're the same kind and won't attack easily."
I patted her bloated back and smiled and asked, "You're dressed as a hunchbacked dwarf?"
Bai Ling said embarrassedly: "I want to pretend to be a ghost, but my strength is limited, and I can't let myself float, which looks a little clumsy."
I took out a piece of rune paper, pinched the illusion spell, and slapped it on Bai Ling's chest.
The moment the rune paper fell, Bai Ling's figure slowed down
It became transparent, a pair of feet disappeared, and the whole person seemed to float in the air.
"I...... My legs!?"
After turning around in place to make sure that his legs were still behind, Bai Ling was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Lord Zhuge , your methods are simply amazing!"
I pinched the Concealment Spell, obscuring my aura and modifying my appearance.
In the eyes of outsiders, I am a green-faced fanged and two-meter-tall Yaksha.
After getting his appearance done, Bai Ling took out the map and compared it with mine.
Bai Ling whispered, "Lord Zhuge , the person you want to find has to go eighty miles from here."
"I suggest you buy a detailed map to get a good idea of the nearby demon colonies, and walk around the road so you don't run into them."
I asked, "Where's the store?"
Bai Ling pointed ahead, "Go forward from this street, and the place where you see the lantern is it."
Bai Ling led the way in front, and I took Li Mengchun to follow behind.
Li Mengchun on weekdays is simply a little talker, with endless curiosity about everything, always asking me questions.
Today, she rides on my neck and is surprisingly quiet.
I looked up, and the little girl's eyes were scanning the surroundings fiercely, clenching her fists as if she was about to strike at any moment.
Li Mengchun's strength is the pinnacle of Qi training, plus the soul perfection, it stands to reason that he is even stronger than me.
But I haven't taught Li Mengchun to practice, let alone fight, so I don't know how this little girl is doing.
I don't expect her to help with the fight, and to be able to protect herself from causing trouble.
In a short time, we walked from the wilderness to the main street.
The cold bluestone pavement stretched forward, and the doors of the wooden houses on both sides were closed, and there were occasional dim candles lit inside, but there was no one in the house.
Every few meters, a wooden pole with two bright red lanterns tied to it swayed in the breeze.
The scarlet light of the lantern pierced through the thick fog of the night and projected on the bluestone slab, like a layer of blood, revealing a bit of weirdness and ominousness.
As a cultivator, I have been dealing with evil spirits and demons for many years, and I have almost become desensitized.
But when I came to this ghost place, I still couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
Empty streets, not half ghostly.
I wish I could come into contact with the creatures of the mist, but I was also a little scared in case these creatures were so hideous and horrible that they were disgusting.......
As I pondered, a cold wind blew in front of me, and there was a sound like paper shaking.
Around the corner ahead, a white figure suddenly floated by.
It slumped on its toes, its body stiffened and swept forward, slowly moving forward.
When I got closer, I could see his face as pale as paper, his long scarlet tongue drooping, and his green eyes staring blankly and numbly ahead.
The wind blew through his paper-white clothes, making a gurgling sound that made people shudder.
I held my breath and continued on my way.
Three-step, two-step, one-step......
When we passed by, the hanged ghost suddenly turned his head, and a pair of gloomy eyes stared at us viciously!
