047 Preparation
Fang Zheng manipulated the body of the ghost king to sink into the ground, like a wisp of yin wind, burrowing into an empty culvert.
"Huh!"
The yin wind swirls, revealing the ghost's body.
He sat cross-legged at random, looked up through the thick layer of soil, and then snorted.
"Looks like it's staring at someone above!"
His eyes flickered, and he directly pasted the Shangqing Dadong Thunder True Talisman on his body, and pinched the seal of his hand to regulate his luck.
In the fight just now, he seemed to be mighty, and he would not fall behind in the face of a real person who had practiced for nearly three hundred years.
In fact, the means have been exhausted, and the Seven Killing Curse is burning ghost qi all the time to support high-intensity outbursts.
If it weren't for the fact that he carried a rune with him and shocked the other party with his determination to break the net, I am afraid that he would really be planted today.
'Meng Po's mana is profound, and there are several powerful magic weapons, even if the main body comes, there is no certainty of victory. ’
'Hmm......'
'If the main body and the ghost king join forces, they should be able to hold the top, but it's a pity that the Yama secret realm suppresses the main body to exert its strength. ’
"Old woman!"
The thought turned, and when his breath recovered a little, Fang Zheng raised his head and shouted:
"How long are you going to keep an eye on?"
"Why should Taoist friends refuse people thousands of miles away." Meng Po sat on top of the clouds and spoke slowly:
"The old body is sincerely invited."
"Humph!"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly:
"Old woman, don't deceive people too much, if you force me to be in a hurry, I will go to Fengdu City, and then see how many people I can kill!"
"Huh?"
Meng Po's face changed slightly, and her eyes also showed jealousy.
If you really let this person go to Fengdu City, I am afraid that there will be a river of blood and many killings in your life.
The point is,
The spirit rune in the other party's hand was too terrifying, even if the city lord came, he was powerless to resist.
Even if they were on their own, no one wanted to try.
"Fellow Daoist."
Meng Po took a deep breath and slowed down her voice:
"The old body has no evil intentions, as long as the Taoist friends agree to make a move, not only will the past be wiped out, but the capital will also be rewarded."
"......" Fang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked:
"When will you do it?"
"Daoyou agreed?" Meng Po was pleasantly surprised, and then said:
"Half a month later!"
Half a month later?
Isn't that the day when the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts opens?
At this time, I guessed that I was very interested in the things in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves.
Guiding yourself away can also ensure that Fengdu is safe.
And the old monster of Montenegro would not have guessed that Zhou Qi would dare to leave Fengdu City at such a critical time.
But......
Fang Zheng tentatively spoke:
"The Fengdu Ghost King will also make a move?"
"Of course." Meng Po nodded:
"The city lord deals with the old monster of the Black Mountain, and we deal with the white bones and the mountain monarch, among which the mountain monarch is seriously injured and has no strength in ten."
"It's just a white bone, and the old body is sure to deal with it, and the Taoist friends only need to sweep the formation on the side."
"Heh......" Fang Zheng lightly:
"If it's so easy, why call me?"
"Besides, even if you finally solve the demon path entrenched in Montenegro, what if you turn your face and don't recognize people?"
"Call Daoyou, just in case." Meng Po explained:
"After all, we have made sufficient preparations for the encirclement and suppression of Montenegro several times before, but in the end we have repeatedly failed."
"With the help of Taoist friends, you will definitely be able to make contributions in one fell swoop."
She didn't mind putting a top hat on Fangzheng.
"As for us to turn the other cheek......"
Meng Po chuckled:
"Daoist friends have a talisman body, who dares to fight to break the net?"
"And I can make a great oath of Yama, and fellow Daoists should know the effect of this oath, and no one dares to disobey it."
"Heh......"
"The old body is also afraid that Daoyou will turn his face!"
Fang Zheng touched his chin.
Zhou begging to go too?
Doesn't that mean......
When the time comes, the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves will be unguarded?

Time passes.
Before you know it, it's time for the selection of teenagers everywhere.
Fengdu City selects elite teenagers, not only based on talent and cultivation, but also a real combat competition in the end.
If you are good at fighting and stand out in actual combat, you can also be selected to enter the inner city or stay in the outer city.
contrarily
Even if the talent and cultivation are outstanding, if you are defeated by others early, it will be difficult to guarantee the place to enter the city.
But this kind of thing rarely happens.
Beicheng martial arts arena.
Dozens of rings were scattered in between.
Countless people in Fengdu City watched around the ring, and people who bought and sold candy and snacks kept shouting.
The hustle and bustle continued.
Every year's selection competition is a big day for the people of Fengdu City.
In the ring,
The monk in the dark robe shouted:
"Seventy-one-five, vs. seven-one-six!"
No. 715 is Ma Chao.
Fang Zheng patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and the tone encouraged:
"Go ahead!"
"Yes."
Ma Chao nodded, took two steps forward, turned over and jumped onto the ring with a high height, and bowed to the monk who presided over the ring.
The opponent was not a martial artist, he climbed the stairs, holding a white bone sword with a cautious expression.
He was about eight or nine years old.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two saluted.
The monk didn't give the two time to greet each other, and waved his sleeves:
"Let's go!"
"Peng!"
Ma Chao's feet trembled in the ring, and the whole person rushed with strength, like a spirit snake tentatively approaching from different angles.
'Warlocks are strong in long-range attacks, warriors are better in close combat, and warlocks who have not yet cultivated mana only need to close the distance......
'Even if the cultivation is one level worse, there is a good chance of winning! ’
Fangzheng's advice flashed in his mind, Ma Chao's eyes froze, and his five fingers suddenly poked out.
"Nourishing ......"
"Huh!"
The figures in the field were staggered, and before the onlookers came to their senses, one person had already rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.
"Seventy-one-five wins!"
The monk who presided over the contest raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked:
"What's your name, little one?"
"Ma Chao!" Ma Chao held his head high:
"Ma Ning is my sister."
"Huh?"
The monk obviously knew that Ma Ning, who had been in the limelight these days, couldn't help but look straight when he heard this.
"It turned out to be Senior Sister Ning's younger brother, it's really amazing, and he's about to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts, right?"
"My surname is Wu, my name is Wu Li, and I should preside over the next few competitions of yours."
His title has been changed from a little guy to a junior brother.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Wu." Ma Chao went down the slope and got off the donkey:
"Next is Senior Brother Lao Wu."
"It should."
Wu Li smiled and nodded, and only continued to call after sending Ma Chao down.
"Master!"
Ma Chao came to Fang Zheng with an excited face, waved his arms and said:
"I won."
"Hmm." Fang Zheng nodded:
"Well done."
Not far away.
"Eighty-two-two wins!"
In the ring, Er Ya held the soul hook chain, waved her hand proudly, and her eyebrows were full of joy.
Aunt Cui below had a gloomy face.
Erya lacked food and clothing when she was young, which led to a lack of innate vitality, and later she had no famous teacher for practicing spells.
To this day, after drinking three bowls of Meng Po soup, his cultivation has not been able to break through to the second level of the Yama Heart Sutra.
The first game was so dangerous......
How many places will you get in the end?
I'm afraid I can't even stay in the outer city!
And if you go back, not to mention the difficulties of the Zhang family's shrew, the way back is also dangerous and unpredictable.
Are we two of us suffering for the rest of our lives?
"...... Uproar"
There was a sudden commotion in the distance.
When Fang Zheng heard the prestige, he saw Ma Ning holding a hundred ghost flags, driving more than ten yin spirits to rush towards the opponent.
There is also a powerful ghost hovering behind it.
This kind of strength......
Even the monks who presided over the ring were not as good as her, and the people who fought against her were unlucky, and before they could cast the spell, they were already in despair and chose to admit defeat directly.
"Senior Sister Ning, congratulations on your victory."
"There is labor."
Ma Ning nodded, and his body turned and fell lightly into the ring.
Zuo Meng and Wen Qing's apprentices also won one after another, but more of the teenagers who traveled with them were defeated on the first day.
…………
The tournament lasts for five days.
The first four days are to select young people who can stay in Fengdu City, and on the last day they compete for a place in the inner city.
Night.
The small courtyard once again set up a banquet to celebrate the victory of the sisters and brothers.
"There are other ways to enter the inner city besides the annual selection, but only the selection is the most eye-catching." Ma Ning looked directly at his younger brother and said:
"Do you know why?"
"Why?" Ma Chao looked dazed.
"Because of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves!" Ma Ning said in a solemn voice:
"The Ten Thousand Ghost Caves are the foundation of the ghost city of Fengdu, and the reason why the predecessors built the city here is because there are 10,000 ghost caves below, which contain rich yin energy, which can dominate the surrounding yin veins, and also wash the essence and recreate the body."
"The top ten in martial arts will get a place to enter the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, and they will all be reborn after they come out."
"Top ten?" Ma Chao frowned:
"Didn't you say that the rules have been changed this year, and there are twenty places?"
Top 20,
He can still give it a go.
Top 10 ......
There is little hope!
"What has changed is the number of people who enter the inner city, and the number of people who enter the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves is still ten, which has not changed." Ma Ning shook his head:
"As long as you can enter the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, you will definitely be able to become a martial artist and a mage in the future, without exception for thousands of years."
"Sister......" Ma Chao smiled bitterly:
"I'm not sure of the top 20, the top 10...... All I can say is do your best. ”
Ma Ning frowned.
Then he shook his head slightly.
Also.
Before they came, the biggest luxury of their sister and brother was to stay in the outer city, and they didn't dare to think about it in the inner city.
Now that there is a chance to stay in the inner city, but there is still a delusion to go further, people are always not satisfied.
"Then let's go for the top 20 first."
Ma Ning sighed and said:
"The first twenty, there is still the resource support of Fengdu City, and the inner city monks have an additional opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, and I will find a way to fight for you when the time comes."
"Manin."
Fang Zheng suddenly spoke:
"I heard that the top three can enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves and get a glimpse of the full version of the Yama Heart Sutra."
"Yes."
Ma Ning smiled:
"I'm one of them."
Although the final top three have not yet been selected, everyone knows that Ma Ning is definitely the first place.
Even if there is an accident, the ghost mother-in-law can force her in.
"Congratulations!"
Fang Zheng nodded:
"With your current cultivation, and with the baptism of yin qi in the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, his achievements may not be weaker than that flower ghost Guan Suo."
"Hee-hee......" Ma Ning grinned:
"Thank you, Master Fang, Jiyan."
"I've been feeling a little unwell in the past two days, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch you play." Fang Zheng said again:
"Ma Ning, I'm not worried, Ma Chao, you have to work hard."
"Master......" Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily:
"I will definitely try to not disappoint you, Master."
…………
Sending Ma Ning and Ma Chao away, Fang Zheng closed the door, Zhihai flashed, and the heavenly compass appeared out of thin air.
Compass gossip is running fast.
Measure, snoop, hide......
With the blessing of many secret methods, even if the ghost king of Fengdu Zhou begs in person, I believe that he can cover it for a moment.
Everything was ready, Fang Zheng sat cross-legged on the futon, pinching the seal in his hand, and the mana in his body was running in an orderly manner.
Not much.
Countless jet-black rays converged in the palm of his hand.
The halo condensed, gradually turning into a strange, evil black eye, and blinking slowly.
"Condensation!"
He drank lowly, and his eyes suddenly froze, and they landed on his palms like a real thing.
"Hoo ......"
Fang Zheng exhaled lightly, looked at the eyes in his hand and showed a satisfied expression:
"It took so long, and it finally succeeded, I hope this day the snake magic eye is really as described in the record."
"Otherwise......"
"I'm afraid I'll have to find another way."
This technique originated from the ancient snake god, and it is said that it can communicate with his mind in a foreign land, which is extremely mysterious and special.
It has long been lost.
Now it is reproduced in the hands of Founder.
The next day.
Ma Chao successfully advanced, and so did Erya, Zuo Meng, Li Ying and others, and nearly half of their peers have failed.
Day 3.
Erya faced a martial artist who had cultivated to the second level of the Yama Heart Sutra, and after holding on for a while, he was defeated and fell into the ring.
Night
Ding Li came to visit.
"Erya's girl has a stubborn personality, which is a good thing in the early stage of cultivation, but it's a pity that she started too late."
"By the way, Wen Qing has gone to the inner city."
"Huh?" Fang was surprised:
"How did she get to the inner city?"
People in Fengdu City can enter the inner city, but there are strict restrictions on long-term residence in the inner city.
Ding Li said that when he went to the inner city, he was definitely not a casual stroll.
"Climb the high branches!"
"She somehow met a deacon who had cultivated the Yama Heart Sutra to the sixth level, and became that person's concubine."
Ding Li pursed his lips, his voice was disdainful, and he seemed to be a little envious:
"Wen Qing, this woman is willing to give up, I heard that I came to Fengdu City, so I followed him day and night."
"In the end, we succeeded in climbing the giants."
"It's also a skill." Fang Zheng nodded:
"Brother Ding?"
"I'll see if I can stay in the outer city, Ren Lao said that there are a few Fengdu patrol errands, and if you can be on duty, you can stay." Ding Li told his plan:
"If you are on an errand for ten years, you can live forever, and if you can make a meritorious service, you can also settle in the inner city."
"Ren Lao is old, according to the rules of Fengdu City, he can change his glory after so many years of hard work, and he can find a place to live on the edge of the inner city."
“……”
Fang Zheng nodded silently, and said for a long time:
"It seems that those who have a way to stay will stay, and I'm afraid there are not many who go back, isn't it very dangerous?"
"Yes." Ding Li shrugged:
"It's a once-in-a-four opportunity, every time."
Finally, make a summary.
"Fengduju, it's not easy!"
When Ding Li was drunk and staggered to leave, Aunt Cui took the second girl to visit.
"I said it."
Fang Zheng shook his head speechlessly:
"I can't help you with the entry into the inner city."
"Poof!"
Cui Gu's knees weakened, she knelt directly to the ground, and took out a talisman from her body and held it high and handed it over:
"Master Fang, I'm ...... I'm willing to be your ghost servant, so...... can let Erya follow into the inner city. ”
"Huh?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, his face was stunned:
"Ghost servant?"
"You have to think well, if you are a ghost servant, you must give up your body, and in the future, you will be sent by me with a soul body."
"Fang has a certain thought, and you can execute your life and death at will!"
The so-called ghost servant is a kind of slave, but it is more special, and the master has absolute control over the ghost servant.
The ghost servant has no physical body, and the ghost path is changed, and the natal soul is in the hands of the master, and it is difficult to resist.
Incarnate as a ghost servant, life is better than death.
It also means the complete loss of the right to be a human being.
“……”
Cui Gu's cheeks twitched, and her head knocked on the ground:
"As long as Master Fang can take my daughter into the inner city, I ...... Be willing to do so! ”
"Mother!"
Er Ya's eyes were dazed, and she was still a little ignorant of Aunt Cui's decision, but she also realized that this matter was unusual.
"Mother, I'm not going to the inner city."
"Shut up!"
Cui Gu roared:
"There's no such thing as you here!"
"Hmm......" Fang Zheng touched his chin, his thoughts turned, and he said slowly:
"It just so happens that I need someone to do, and if you want, I can take Erya into the inner city."
"Really?"
Cui Gu raised her head suddenly, then nodded heavily, and didn't ask what was going on, and said directly:
"I do!"
Day 4.
Ma Chao successfully advanced.
Day 5.
Fang Zheng participated in the last day of the competition and witnessed Ma Ning riding the dust and steadily occupying the first place.
Pity.
Ma Chao stopped in the top 30.
The opening of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave is imminent.
The other side.
It was also the day when Meng Po and Fang Zheng made an appointment.
I forgot about the timing
