Chapter 41: The Great Earthquake in the Ghost Country
The ghost country of the world.
For the vast majority of people, it is an ethereal existence.
But there is a terrible saying circulating in the rivers and lakes.
The ghost country is not far away from us.
There is often a legend of ambition, saying that a certain starry night is rushing, and suddenly encounters a lively village, but the people in the village are all gloomy. After a night of staying, I woke up and found myself sleeping in a barren mountain.
There are also some legends about breaking into a market on a moonlit night and finding that all the things bought and sold in it were hideous and terrifying, and the coins used were all made of human bones.
The reason why this happened was because the existence of the ghost kingdom may be similar to some kind of cave secret realm, and it is not beyond the human world. When the spiritual power in some places is abnormal, a strange situation will occur where the two realms briefly coincide at a certain point.
It's just that this kind of reintegration can't be used as a pathway, because after dawn, everything will go back to the way it was.
What can really connect the two worlds is an existence called the "Ghost Country Rift".
This kind of rift is not something that can be created by human or "ghost power".
It started out as a small, randomly generated chasm.
And then it was turned into a large chasm.
In the end, let it go.
Every crack is an opportunity for ghosts. Because for them, the world is a paradise full of blood and food.
But at the same time, the land is fraught with endless dangers.
But.
As far as most ghosts are concerned, life in the ghost kingdom is originally full of killing and warfare, so when faced with the choice of hunting in the human world, they usually do not refuse.
On the human side, the rift in the ghost country is in a state of strict defense. Once discovered, it is necessary to fill it as soon as possible.
This crack in the Deyun view is quite special.
Because it is not always present, but only briefly appears at night when the yin qi sinks. And the crack is small, only some weak ghosts can pass through, because the matter did not make a big fuss, and it was actually preserved for a long time.
can be able to become the target of Yin Laosan tonight.
......
Night.
Deep silence.
Although the south of the city is far away from the bustling city, it also brings convenience for a peaceful night's sleep. As soon as the night falls, there are only three or two barks or occasionally sounded.
sub-hours.
A pitch-black figure appeared under a big tree at the mouth of the alley.
Li Chu also slowly opened his eyes.
He went to Liu's shopkeeper's house to take care of him for a while, and found that nothing happened tonight, so he rushed back, fortunately, the two families were not far away, and they came and went quickly.
Since returning to Deyun Fenguan, he has always monitored the surroundings with his mental eye technique. But the Eye of Hope couldn't see where this figure came from, as if it appeared out of thin air.
I have to say that the people of the Yin clan are hiding one, and there are really some doorways.
In a flash, Li Chu came to the door of the sub-view.
"Hmph. ”
Seeing him, Yin Laosan snorted coldly.
"I guess it's you little Taoist priest who is doing ghosts. ”
Li Chu was not surprised that the other party knew about his existence, but any large force would have a unique source of intelligence, otherwise it would not survive for long.
He didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The girl is in my hands." ”
Yin Laosan asked coldly, "How are you doing?"
"If you want the guard to leave all right, you must put back the Xuanyin Body and the Extreme Yang Boy that you captured before. Li Chu stated his conditions.
"Huh. Yin Laosan couldn't help laughing angrily, paused, and said, "If we only want the woman you looked for before, we can use her to replace her." If you want one for so many, a fool will promise you!"
"Then there's nothing to talk about. ”
Li Chu shook his head.
Innocent people must be rescued, it's non-negotiable.
Yin Laosan's face darkened a little in the covering, but soon, his gaze was fierce, and he seemed to have made up some kind of determination. Since you, a little Taoist priest, have killed themselves, then grandpa and I will not be merciful!
"Good!" he said, "I promise you." ”
Li Chu's gaze was suspicious.
Is this a disguised admission of one's intelligence?
Yin Laosan pointed at Li Chu and said, "Tomorrow night, we will come here to change people." If you don't have a hair left, I won't be able to spare you. ”
Li Chu didn't bother to talk to him about these scenes, waved his hand casually, and then turned back to the Taoist temple.
The other party's attitude made him feel a little strange, perhaps...... They won't hand people over so easily.
There is a need for some preparation.
So he sat cross-legged in the front hall, locking his mind on Yin Laosan's body, wanting to track his whereabouts.
Unexpectedly.
Yin Laosan didn't go anywhere.
He waited quietly outside Deyun's view, and his breath was very hidden. If Li Chu hadn't locked him up early on, I'm afraid he would really not have been able to find out.
But......
What was he going to do?
When everyone is asleep, they will secretly take the girl away?
Impossible.
Li Chu had already arranged for a night-use Duran guest to guard outside the girl's door, and it was absolutely impossible for someone to take her away quietly.
Besides......
Even if Yin Laosan can really sneak in, I'm afraid that the girl herself will shout first......
Long.
The well in the courtyard has a touch of yin qi gathering.
Just when Li Chu wanted to follow the process and feed the Juyin Pill inside, he suddenly found that the Yin clan person moved.
Whoosh –
Yin Laosan's hands moved, and a Yin Qi was quickly condensed in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, after the Yin Qi Horse Training was completely formed, he raised his hand, pushed it forward, and shouted: "Go!"
Boom –
Yin Qi is like a swimming fish, and it instantly blasts into the courtyard.
Li Chuzheng was on guard, but found that this training did not attack elsewhere, but fell into the well very accurately.
Inside the well, a tiny crack has just appeared.
This long, thick yin qi smashed into it fiercely, sneering-
There was a clear cracking sound in the air.
There is no mercy at all.
The unprepared rift in the ghost kingdom was filled in an instant, and then it was violently expanded, torn, and expanded.
"Ho-"
Outside the wall, Yin Laosan let out a shout again, and his hands turned around.
Bang –
The already very strong Yin Qi suddenly condensed and thickened by three points, and spun wildly!
Boom –
A few drops of sweat fell from his forehead.
Even for a master of his calibre, it was not easy to carve a rift.
Li Chu, who felt that he was widening this gap, did not make a move to stop it.
Because he felt that the yin qi in it was getting stronger and stronger, wouldn't that mean ...... Will the ghosts that appear be even more powerful?
And this kind of good thing?
Whew-
A moment later, a cold wind blew.
The three of Yin and Lao just stopped.
But he still didn't leave.
Because he wanted to stay and continue to observe the development of the situation, when the chaos in the Taoist temple became chaotic, he was going to rescue the guards. If the Taoist priest in Guanzhong is too poor, he will even have to suppress the powerful ghosts.
In short, try to keep the area of ghosts and creatures in this alley.
The reason is simple.
They worked hard to rescue the girl in Jiangli in order to make her go to the flower capital to make money. If the ghosts drilled out of the crack make too much trouble, it will directly harm the south of the city.
Whether the Huadu Conference can be held is a matter of two words.
When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, if the situation is serious, it is not ruled out that Yin Laosan will help report to the official.
The huge black fissure covered the entire wellhead.
There was a sudden eerie silence between heaven and earth for a few seconds.
And then......
Under the gaze of both inside the house and outside the courtyard, the huge ghost claws, which had been crimson, stretched out of it.
At the same time, a huge yin qi that was difficult to perceive leaked out, and the temperature within a radius of several miles dropped sharply in an instant.
"This ......"
Yin Laosan's eyebrows twitched.
This thing seems to be a bit big, huh?
And Li Chu raised his eyebrows.
The Pure Yang Sword couldn't hold it anymore, and let out a Zhan Zhan Dragon Groan!
......
Scarlet sky and moon, scorched fields.
The blood stains that dried up on the battlefield 10,000 years ago still linger. On the other side of the bronze mountain, ten thousand ghosts howled.
The Lord of the Seventh Hall lifted its massive fuchsia paws and clattered a skeleton.
This skeleton body previously belonged to a high-ranking ghost king, and it gathered a large number of stragglers to form a mighty army, wanting to challenge the seventh temple.
The Lord of the Seventh Hall is one of the ten halls today, and his qualifications are relatively shallow. So if you want to be on the throne, the big ghost king will take it as a goal.
But it's just a goal, and not all the Great Ghost Kings dare to really try.
After all, the existence that can become the hall master is all fought out of countless dry bones, and the authority is supreme.
This big ghost king who dared to challenge was not completely brainless, and it enlisted the support of the eighth hall adjacent to the chassis of the seventh hall.
He promised to cut off a large area of land north of the Bronze Mountain as a condition for the Eighth Temple to support his ascension.
But what it never expected.
Before the reinforcements from the Eighth Hall arrived, the Lord of the Seventh Hall personally rushed to kill, almost single-handedly, killing the army of bones that it had worked so hard to build and trained for decades.
The Seventh Hall Lord also hid his strength in that incomparably cruel battle for the throne!
"Roar—"
The seventh hall lord with a body like a small mountain raised his head and let out a roar, its body was a divine beast, the legendary unicorn!
It's a pity that after death, he turned into a yin ghost, and after ten thousand years of cultivation in the Stygian Sea, he achieved today's Dharma body.
A Blood Kirin!
The ghosts in the ghost kingdom have rarely seen such a revered existence, because they always have no real concept of its strength.
You must know that the status of the unicorn in the yang world is even higher than that of the four elephants, although it exists as a rui beast, it has the power to destroy the world.
Its crimson body flowed with a strange luster, and with this roar, it became even more excited, and its blood flowed like it, and it wanted to tear through the mountains!
Enemy!
It craves enemies!
The battle just now was simply not enough!
As soon as such a thought appeared in his mind, there was a torrent of smoke and dust in front of him.
"Eighth Temple—"
With the power of the new victory, the seventh hall lord let out a roar that shook the mountain.
"Whew-"
There was also a roar from the opposite side, which was not weak in the slightest.
But it wasn't the Eighth Hall Lord, but its mount, a powerful bone dragon with half of its body of pitch-black flesh and half of its body with sharp bones exposed.
Above the head of the bone dragon, stood a very small figure in comparison.
A thin old man in a black robe with long white hair.
It's just the old man's eyes, burning with a dark blue flame.
The eighth hall lord is an old-fashioned one in the ghost country.
It used to be the oldest disciple of the Second Temple, and it had learned three thousand tricks with it. Since the mysterious disappearance of the second hall, the eighth hall is the ghost creature that has mastered the most tricks.
Normally, no one wants to go to war with it. Because it's hard to tell when such an opponent will give you an unguardable trick.
But the newly enthroned seventh temple is not afraid.
It needs to kill an old man to establish its majesty!
"I can't believe it, these skeletons are rubbish! I can kill them all with a single claw!"
The blood unicorn is fierce, and the blood moon is shaking.
"Unthinkable ......"
The voice of the eighth hall lord sounded very cold, but in the ghost country, this could only be regarded as a routine operation.
"You've only been out of the Stygian Sea for a short time, and you've been able to have such cultivation. It seems that if it does not fall, the future is limitless. ”
"Are you complimenting me?"
The Blood Qilin gradually straightened up, just a figure, facing the tens of thousands of black torrents opposite, but without the slightest fear.
Soon, there was a continuous sound of footsteps on the other side of the Bronze Mountain, and the heads of countless Stygian Sea beasts poked out from the top of the mountain.
"Since Skeletron is dead, why don't you and I take a step back and still use this as a boundary?"
The eighth hall suddenly had the idea of retreating.
The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are.
It originally came here to test the reality of the seventh temple, and its intention to annex was not resolute. Unexpectedly, this Blood Qilin was really strong, and it simply swept away the rebellion, so it had no intention of fighting with it.
"Hahaha-"
The blood unicorn looked up to the sky and smiled, majestic mountains and rivers.
"You can come if you want, and you can go when you want?"
It suddenly leaned down and yelled, "Rush with me!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a roar, it rushed ahead of all beasts, shattering the mountains with every step!
And on the bronze mountain, the countless Stygian Sea fierce beasts also condescended and began to rush down.
The Eighth Hall Lord instantly understood that it had dispatched its army like this to deal with its own army. And the rebels who they instigated were not taken into account in the slightest.
Is the ambition so great?
It raised a yin fire in its hand, just as it wanted to make this young ghost who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth increase its memory.
Suddenly—
There was a loud bang!
A huge chasm appeared out of thin air!
It was pitch black on the other side, but it was gloomy.
This rift is appearing on the way of the Blood Qilin Rush.
"It's ...... A rift to the world?"
Countless fragments of ancient memories surged up in the Blood Qilin's mind.
"There...... There are countless delicious blood foods!"
"As long as I pass through this rift, I can become the strongest ghost......! Detachment!"
Its footsteps came to a halt.
And then......
A ghostly claw reached out beyond the chasm.
"It seems...... It's like you can pass it......"
It was irrepressibly excited.
The rift that can be passed through by the ghost king of the Ten Halls level has never appeared a few times in the past!
Of course, there is also a reason why the ghost king of the ten halls level does not need to pass through the rift.
They are rulers in the same ghost country.
Once you go to the human world, you may immediately be attacked by a group.
It's just that......
Blood unicorns are different.
It can be promoted through blood food, and the world is a pure land of bliss for it!
Driven almost instinctively, it leaned out at once.
And then the next instant.
A burst of rainbow light erupted from the rift......
Under the dazed and incredulous witness of all the ghosts.
Half of the body left by the blood qilin in the ghost kingdom exploded with a bang!
Boom –
Turned into a sky of blood and dissipated——
It......
One breath takes less than ......
was shot......
How is this possible?
Seeing all this, the Eighth Hall Lord also fell into a deep shock.
This is an existence of the same level as himself, and he was killed so hastily......? I'm afraid only a true immortal can do it, right?
A terrible thought came to his mind.
"Could it be...... The other side of the rift is not the human ...... It's the legendary ......"
"Immortal?"
