Chapter 1059: Eighteen Floors
"Hehe, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for us to come here by accident this time!" Jin Liu said with a somewhat self-deprecating voice.
"Blessing or curse aside, it seems that the higher the level of this ghost place, the stronger the power of the divine consciousness, which makes people not very comfortable. Master Fu Gu frowned.
"Let's go. There is no turning back from the bow, and since they are all here, they will explore the end of this tower together, and it is not in vain to come here. Su Jingqian said calmly.
After saying that, she walked forward first, Jin Liu's eyes were slightly downcast, and she hurriedly followed.
Fu Gu Master and the others all looked complicated, looking at the huge stone gate behind them, and they still seemed to hesitate.
"The prohibition on this stone gate is no less than the great array of the protector of a large sect, it is not easy to break it, so let's find another way out. Han Li reminded as he passed by Fu Gu Lord.
As he spoke, he hurried towards the black building.
Seeing this, Fu Guzhu and the others changed their faces again and again, and after hesitating again and again, they had no choice but to follow.
Everyone walked all the way, and the closer they got to the black building, the more intense the yin aura around them became, and when they approached the building, they even felt that the temperature in the air around them had become cold, and there were wisps of white mist in the nostrils and mouths of several golden immortals, which flowed out with their breathing.
When they came to the black building, they found that it was actually an ancient temple with barren grass.
The gate of the ancient temple is very dilapidated, not only is there wild grass growing between the cracks of the brick wall, but even the two wooden doors are covered with moss, and the two beast door knockers are also covered with patina, hanging crookedly on the door.
Han Li stood outside the mountain gate, his gaze falling on the plaque hanging above the lintel, and he whispered, "Eighteen layers ......"
Looking at the three words on the plaque, everyone's faces became strange.
"Why is it the eighteenth floor? Didn't we just enter the third layer, how did we get to the eighteenth floor?" Fu Gu Lord wondered.
"Don't make a fuss, maybe it's the name of this ancient temple, it's just called 'Eighteen Floors'. Jin Liu said disdainfully.
"It's ghostly, I'm afraid it's not a good place, I don't think we'd go in. A Golden Immortal Sanxiu looked frightened and said in a trembling voice.
As soon as his words fell, a "squeak" sounded, and the two doors of the ancient temple opened on their own.
Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that there was no movement inside the door, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they were a little at a loss.
Jin Liu and Su Jingqian glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and walked in the door first.
Han Li raised his eyebrows, only feeling strange in his heart, and walked in as well.
Master Fu Gu and the others were very worried, so they had no choice but to follow in.
Everyone walked into the ancient temple, and behind them there was a long and ugly "squeak" sound, and the door was closed.
Han Li turned his head to look and saw two clouds of dark green ghost flames floating out from behind the door, flying leisurely forward around everyone, like two lanterns guiding the way, hanging in front of everyone.
Everyone was surprised by the strange scene in front of them, and after hesitating for a long time, they followed the two ghost fires and walked towards the depths of the ancient temple together.
Behind the door was a white square that was not too small, and when Han Li walked up, he felt that the ground under his feet was uneven, and from time to time there was a slight "creaking" sound.
He looked down and found that the ground of the white square was not paved with white stones, but with a section of white broken bones.
Everyone walked on it cautiously, but fortunately there was nothing unusual along the way, and everyone soon came to the Heavenly King Palace.
In the palace of the Heavenly King, there are two statues of the Heavenly King that are dozens of feet tall and almost the same height as the entire house.
Both of them are dressed in tattered gold armor, holding a demon-slaying pestle in one hand and a blood-drenched human head in the other.
After passing through the Heavenly King's Palace, everyone came to a larger square.
There are nine high platforms on each side of this square, and there are many people on them, and there are constantly terrible screams.
Han Li frowned, and looked towards the first high platform on the left, and saw a demon with blue skin on it, holding a pair of black iron tongs in his hand, probing into the mouth of an old woman with gray hair, clamping her tongue, and slowly pulling it out.
The old woman's face was full of pain, but she couldn't make much sound, so she could only "whine" and whisper.
On the first high platform on the other side, there was a delicate-looking woman, tied to a stone bed in uncovered clothes, and two blue-haired demons were holding a huge pair of scissors, cutting at her body one by one.
The woman's cry was terrible and terrifying.
Han Li looked further back, and saw that there were tragic things happening on these stone platforms.
In one of them, there was a huge stone mill, pushed by a powerful ghost king, and in it was grinding the severed limbs of a person, and the head of the person who was born was intact, still wailing one after another.
In another place, there was a huge iron pot, with flames burning and boiling oil in the pot, and several evil spirits beside him carried a terrified person, who would throw it into the pot, and it was blown up with black smoke and scorched smell.
......
Han Li's brows furrowed, and he finally understood why this place was called the "Eighteenth Floor".
In the human realm and the spirit realm, there were rumors that the underworld had eighteen layers of purgatory, and Han Li had heard a lot of them since he was a child, so looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't feel that it was bizarre, but he was more puzzled.
"What the hell is this place?" Fu Gu Lord asked loudly with a solemn face.
As soon as his words fell, a red light lit up in the sky in front of the square, and ten figures slowly floated down from the sky.
Han Li fixed his eyes on it, only to see that it was ten ghosts dressed in scarlet official robes and wearing gold and jade belts around their waists.
Those ghosts were born with the sharp horns of a bull's head, or a horse's face and long beard, or a monkey's gills with a sharp beak...... All of them are hideous and weird, without a human shape, only one of them is born with a white face and a red flower on his chest, which looks quite like a scholar who has just been promoted to the department.
"What kind of demon are you, who dare to pretend to be a ghost here, so you can play a trick?" Jin Liu's eyes were cold, and he said angrily.
"Bold and evil prisoner, when you see the Ten Palaces Yan Jun, you still dare not kneel down and confess your guilt?" The white-faced man who looked like a little human, crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at everyone with the other, and reprimanded.
His voice is sharp and thin, and with some feminine movements, it suddenly breaks the original image of a scholar, and looks a little like a eunuch who is neither yin nor yang.
"Ten ghost generals, dare to call themselves Yama, jokes!" Su Jingqian sneered and said.
"Today, when you enter these eighteen layers of purgatory, you will be sentenced to endless punishment, and you will not want to enter reincarnation. The white-faced ghost roared angrily and flew up.
The other nine people floated up with him, and the scarlet official robes on their bodies were all blowing without wind and making a "bang".
On their side, there was a yin wind howling on both sides, and a large black mist surged out from the ground, and countless hideous-looking evil ghosts, holding white bone blades, rushed towards the center of the square.
Because there were so many evil ghosts, when they rushed to this side of the square, they were already huddled together, rushing into each other, trampling on each other, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling was earth-shattering.
"This ...... How could there be so many ghosts?" said Fu Gu Lord with a frown.
"It's just some ordinary yin things, you can twist them into ashes at will, you don't have to panic and mess up your own formations, there are arrays, there are no arrays to resist the enemy, first clean up these miscellaneous soldiers, the ten ghost generals above, we have our Tianshui Sect to deal with." Jin Liu's face was as usual, and he said loudly.
With that, with a wave of his palm, an eight-treasure exquisite pagoda appeared in the air, emitting bursts of silver treasure light on its surface.
Han Li fixed his eyes and saw that there were bursts of spatial waves rippling above the tower, and he muttered to himself:
"Space Immortal Artifact...... Rare is rare, that is, the rank is not high. ”
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the light at the door hole on the Linglong Pagoda lit up one after another, and more than ten figures flew out of it, and their figures fell to the ground in a spun turn, returning to normal, and they were actually more than a dozen elders dressed in Tianshui Sect costumes.
Among them, the first one is the early stage of Taiyi's cultivation, while most of the remaining people are in the late stage of the Golden Immortal and the peak cultivation of the Golden Immortal.
"Elder Lu Qiu, there are many ghosts here, and I have to trouble you to help. Jin Liu hugged his fists at these dozen people and said.
"It's okay, we will voluntarily enter the sacrificial tower in order to wish you a helping hand at a critical time, so there is no need to be polite. The elder at the head waved his hand and said.
Seeing this, Fu Gu Lord and the others calmed down a little, and one by one they used the law to defend against the enemy.
Then, Jin Liu and Su Jingqian glanced at each other, and led more than a dozen Tianshui Sect elders to fly up, directly attacking the red-robed ghost general who claimed to be the Ten Palaces Yama.
"A few fellow Daoists, although the cultivation of these yin and evil ghosts is not high, there are too many of them, if we scatter our forces to fight, we will be exhausted sooner or later. If you join me in casting the Blue Dragon Mixed Yuan Array, you may be able to survive until the Tianshui Sect returns victorious. After Tianshui Sect and the others left, Lord Fu Gu's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to shout.
"This Qinglong Mixed Yuan Array is your Qingsuo Valley Secret Array, and we are not familiar with it, how can we form a formation together?" asked a Golden Immortal Scattered Cultivator with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"The key to forming this array is a treasure, you just need to do it in the way I said, and it's very easy to form a formation. After saying that, Master Fu Gu quickly taught the formation method of the Qinglong Mixed Yuan Array to everyone through sound transmission.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his wrist, raised his hand and threw a dragon-shaped jade jue upward, and shouted:
"Formation!"
As soon as his words fell, several people immediately took action, and according to the method he said, they surrounded the city in a circle, and at the same time stepped on the gang, pinched the magic in their hands, and the sound of chanting sounded in their mouths.
Although Han Li was also standing beside a few people, he didn't make any moves.
Seeing the eerie ghosts pouring in like a tide, everyone had no time to worry about him, but they all had a little more resentment in their hearts.
