Chapter 14: The Strange Old Man

The other martial artists and miscellaneous servants immediately scattered and fled, the resistance of the old man He and the martial artist was useless at all, it only made the monster's giant hand painful, and even aroused the cruelty of the other party, the two were directly stuffed into the monster's giant mouth, and they didn't even have time to scream, and the scattered running of the others immediately attracted the monster, and they were caught and stuffed into its giant mouth one by one.

At this time, Chen Zijing was hiding under the ox cart, when he felt the movement, he immediately rolled over and hid under the ox cart, holding his breath, and using the turtle breath exercise to the extreme, the whole person was like a stone, at this time, seeing the monster far away, he left here quickly without stopping, trying to find another place to take refuge.

Unfortunately, in the black-red hurricane, he couldn't tell the direction at all, and kept walking forward, I don't know how long, and suddenly!

Chen Zijing actually followed behind the original group of ghosts! The huge and strange "thing" wearing a long cloak walked in an unhurried line, followed by the giant monster just now, and these ghosts walked into an inconspicuous mountain col one by one.

Chen Zijing followed curiously from afar, only to see that there was another world behind the col, there was a blue waterhole in the open land, and behind the waterhole was a huge cave. The land of the entire clearing was very dark, and the yin qi around it was unimaginably thick, and if you felt it carefully, all the yin qi actually came from the huge cave entrance.

These ghosts were obviously heading towards the giant cave, and after a while, the long line disappeared into the depths of the cave, Chen Zijing waited for a while, and quietly leaned up, and a cold chill came from afar, coming from the blue pool.

Looking at the deep blue pool, Chen Zijing judged that this should be a legendary underworld, and the cave opposite the lake should be a passage connecting the underworld, and it will probably open on its own after a certain period of time, of course, this is just his whimsical according to the books.

Reaching out and gently scooping it out in the lake water, Chen Zijing immediately felt the bone-chilling cold qi invade his whole body from his arm, which frightened him to immediately run the exercises with all his strength, and used the combat skills of the "Nine Xuan Battle Book" to digest the supreme yin qi in the cold pool.

However, he still underestimated the concentration of yin qi in the pool water, and soon this yin qi spread to his heart, which could startle Chen Zijing, if it was entered by yin qi, it was quite troublesome, and it was easy to suffer from incurable dark injuries, if that would be too unlucky.

Just when Chen Zijing had nothing to do, Xiao Ding in the package behind him seemed to be stimulated by something, and a warm current quickly merged into Chen Zijing's blood, helping him resist the erosion of yin qi, and the yin qi turned to the limbs and bones of his body, and actually began to refine his physical body!

Chen Zijing, who had just closed his eyes and was about to resign himself to fate, immediately opened his eyes and took out the small tripod on his body incredibly, which shocked him very much, it seems that this small tripod against the sky is not only the function of refining medicine, but also a kind of yang thing.

"This Xiao Ding can actually help people resist all kinds of yin and evil qi, turning harm into good!" Chen Zijing muttered to himself, and at the same time, this also made him feel extremely excited, because he had found a method of physical training that ordinary people could not use!

"The top priority now is to determine the situation in the cave, otherwise who knows if these ghosts will come out again, and when will they come out?", Chen Zijing was not blindly excited, who knows what will happen in this kind of strange place, in the end, we have to look at the situation in the cave first, otherwise no one can stay here with confidence, let alone talk about cultivation.

So he used the turtle breath exercise to the limit, and carefully walked into the cave, this cave is very tall, as soon as he enters the cave, he feels a cold air rushing to his face, and it is much colder than the outside in an instant.

And this cave goes straight underground, there is no fork in the road, the yin qi of the entire cave is so thick that it is visible, sometimes wisps of black qi float around, and sometimes there is a ghost crying wolf, if it weren't for the yang qi emitted by Xiao Ding on Chen Zijing's body, I am afraid that he would have been killed by the yin qi entering the body.

After walking for half an hour, the surrounding environment became colder and colder, and there were many turns in the middle, Rao is Chen Zijing was bold, and he also said vaguely in his heart: "I don't know how deep this is the location underground, I am afraid that it is at least thousands of zhang, fortunately, there is no fork in this cave, otherwise it is too easy to get lost, what kind of place is this? Where did those ghosts go?"

Just as Chen Zijing was thinking wildly, suddenly the front of the cave was cheerful, and a vast space appeared at the end of the cave, as wide and huge as a square.

In the middle of the square is a stone platform, the whole stone platform is not big, it is dark, and the small stone platform gives people an unusually heavy feeling, at this time Chen Zijing saw that the stone platform was crawling around the ghosts, and the ghosts and ghosts, big or small, were desperately climbing towards the crack of a black hole above the stone platform at this moment!

"Smack!"

The crack was like a spatial rift, twisting in the air and bursting out at the same time! The pitch-black crack sometimes emitted a massive amount of yin qi outward! The pitch black made people's hearts chill!

There was an old man sitting on the stone platform, and at this time he was manipulating a formation flag, and with the wave of the array flag, one yin soul after another flew out from the ghost thing! This yin soul howled miserably and flew to the old man's mouth, but the old man seemed to be very comfortable, and every yin soul was swallowed up, his expression became more comfortable, but these ghost things became more and more crazy! Because the yin soul was stripped from the body, the ghosts and monsters even killed each other, but the old man waved the array flag without any incursion.

"Uh......h Woo......"

"Hee-he......e-hee-hee-hee!"

"Ah......h......h

......

The cries and howls of all kinds of ghosts gradually began to resound throughout the cave hall, the scene made people feel creepy, ordinary people were not even directly scared to death, Chen Zijing held the breath of his whole body, and lay behind a big stone in the distance, cold sweat on his head seeped out from his forehead a little bit, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"What are you doing...... this!?" Chen Zijing faced such a strange thing, his heart was inevitably up and down, no matter what this old man was doing, Chen Zijing understood that this person was definitely not a good person, how could a normal person do something that eats the soul of a living person?

The state of the cave hall was extremely chaotic, until it lasted for half an hour, and the ghosts either devoured each other and died, or crawled into the black crack, and after a while, the black crack began to gradually shrink and disappear.

However, there are still a group of huge evil ghosts who have not fully climbed into it due to the shrinking of the cracks, and the old man on the stone platform seems to have eaten too many souls at this time and his stomach is a little swollen, and he is running exercises to digest these souls!

I saw that every time it ran for a while, it would let out a miserable scream in its stomach! This scream continued all the time, and the operation of the old man's exercises seemed to have reached a critical moment.

But at this moment, a sound of "pop!" came from behind a big stone, it turned out that Chen Zijing was numb because he was motionless just now, thinking that the ghost thing was about to disappear and the danger was about to pass, so he accidentally moved his leg and hit a stone, and the stone rolled down and made a sound.

At this time, Chen Zijing himself was also dumbfounded, and said secretly in his mind: "It's over! With the weirdness and evil of that old man, he discovered his secret, and this person will definitely not let him go", Chen Zijing, who was about to turn around and flee, found that something was not quite right.

It turned out that the IQ of the ghosts was extremely low, and they didn't pay full attention to this matter, but the old man on the stone platform keenly noticed Chen Zijing, he was also frightened, and the array flag fell directly to the ground, you must know that if what he did was known, he would be hunted down and killed by all the martial artists in the entire Yunzhou Continent!

Just when the old man opened his eyes to see the direction where Chen Zijing was, he forgot that his exercise had been interrupted, and the living soul in his stomach immediately rioted, and the old man's stomach suddenly sounded a terrible cry!

"Stinky boy, you ruined my good deeds!" The old man trembled with anger when he saw clearly that there was a child standing outside the cave hall! But the old man didn't have time to clean up Chen Zijing, because the riot of the soul in his stomach made his stomach feel like it was about to be torn apart, and at the same time, he had to draw the long sword in his hand and fight with the evil spirits around him!

In the cave hall, the sounds of all kinds of collisions and battles came and went, and the evil ghosts pounced on the old man one after another, and this old man was not trivial! On the basis of such severe pain, he also fought with the evil ghosts very fiercely! The battle with those huge evil ghosts did not fall behind at all! The whole cave also trembled slightly because of this battle.

Chen Zijing watched from the sidelines, and said in his heart: "No matter which side wins, I probably won't be able to survive, now is a good time to escape!"

But at this time, Chen Zijing suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and a creepy feeling rose up behind him.

Chen Zijing didn't have time to think about it, he immediately fell over, a gust of cold wind flew overhead, Chen Zijing turned over and hit a palm, this palm he used ten percent of his strength, but it hit the "target" behind him, as if he hit leather.

"What's it!?" Chen Zijing's mind was racing rapidly, and soon he saw clearly that the attack in front of him was actually a huge bat! The wingspan was a full two meters! The huge mouthparts were flowing with white liquid! And the strange thing was that the body of this bat actually flowed with white vein lines, exuding bursts of fluorescence, obviously eroded by Yin Qi for a long time, and produced some kind of mutation.
