Chapter 52 The Netherworld Forest
"Brother Yunlong, if you see my master in the future, can you help me intercede? Otherwise, I will be severely punished by my master. Qingyang said with some concern.
Yunlong couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't see that Yun Qing is not a few years older than me, but he is already a master, hehe." Don't worry, I'll vouch for you from your master's side. Now that we are still some time away from our destination, you can tell us about your situation and why you sneaked out this time?"
Qingyang was very happy when he heard that Yunlong would help him say good things, his immature face was full of excitement and happiness, and said, "I used to be an orphan and begged on the streets for a living. When I was eight years old, seven years ago, I met my master, who was in a terrible mess, with ragged clothes and blood stains on his body. Hehe, I mistook him for a beggar like me. It was on that occasion that he brought me back to the teacher's door. In the monastery, everyone likes and takes care of me. It wasn't until three years ago that the master officially accepted me as an apprentice when he left the customs. Master, he was very nice to me and very strict. When I make a mistake, he punishes me severely. Not long ago, Uncle Shi took my master and several uncles to a place called "Yin Yang Valley", and I felt too bored, so I sneaked out. ”
After listening to Qingyang's story, Yunlong knew that the time when Yunqing met Qingyang happened when he returned from a thousand-mile escape and gave him a seven-colored seven-colored horse clover. Thinking of this, Yunlong's eyes became softer and more caring when he looked at Qingyang.
Some doting stroked Qingyang's head, Yunlong said gently: "Qingyang, it's too dangerous outside, you're still young, it's best not to come out casually." Now you follow me, and when I finish this matter, I will personally send you back to the Taoist Academy, and I promise that your master will not punish you, and maybe even praise you for your bravery. Hehe. ”
"Really, great, thank you, Brother Yunlong. Qingyang said excitedly.
Yunlong nodded firmly.
"How far is it from where the ghost is?" Ruoyu on the side asked at this time.
"As far as I can tell, it's about a hundred miles away. Let's hurry up, and get there sooner we can have more hope of saving those children. Ruoyu, you fly with Qingyang, and I will lead the way in front. Yunlong said.
"Okay, let's go. Ruoyu waved his hand, pulled Qingyang to his side, and then suddenly accelerated and flew away.
As the night deepened, a cool breeze blew past several people, giving people a cold, terrifying feeling.
Judging by Yunlong, the places they went to became more and more remote. A quarter of an hour later, Yunlong led the two of them to slowly descend by the edge of a forest.
A few people could feel that this place was deserted, and under normal circumstances, no one would be able to come here, and it could indeed be a ghost place.
"I've tracked it all the way to here with that ghostly aura, and this large wooded area may be our destination. Yunlong was the first to speak.
"In that case, let's go inside. I always feel that this forest is strange, a place of right and wrong, you should be careful. Ruoyu said solemnly.
The three of them lined up in a line and walked slowly into the woods. For the sake of Qingyang's safety, Yunlong and Ruoyu let him walk in the middle.
The moment a few people walked into the woods, it felt as if they had entered another world.
Ruoyu frowned and said, "We seem to have entered a powerful formation, everyone should be vigilant." ”
Stepping on the thick fallen leaves on the ground, the "squeak" sound made gives people a creepy feeling. Qingyang was still a child after all, so he tightly grabbed Yunlong's sleeve and said with some trembling: "Brother Yunlong, I feel that this place is too gloomy, I'm so scared." ”
"I'm here, don't be afraid. After Yunlong finished speaking, he saw a flash of golden light, so he propped up a golden light shield outside his body, protecting Qingyang inside. With the protection of the Cloud Dragon Body Shield, Qingyang suddenly felt less afraid.
As for Ruoyu, his whole body was shining with green light, and he also laid several layers of defense on his own.
In fact, since approaching this forest, the Buddha bone relics that were always quietly suspended in the Cloud Dragon Mud Pill Palace actually had a little reaction. Especially after entering the forest, it fluctuates even more, and now it has begun to rotate slowly.
Yunlong knows very well that the Buddha bone relics are the supreme treasures of Buddhism, representing justice and holiness, and there will be strong rejection when they come into contact with the power of evil. Therefore, at the very beginning, Yunlong was particularly vigilant, and had already entered the ethereal realm, always investigating the situation around him.
As far as the exploration of the Ethereal Realm was concerned, Yunlong saw that the forest was full of black ghost qi and miasma, and the further he went into the woods, the more the evil aura became. Not only that, Yunlong also sensed that there was some kind of strange existence in the forest, but he couldn't say it for a while. Some of the trees are arranged in a very mysterious way, like a formation, and they are also arrays within arrays.
The ethereal realm can see through the essence of ordinary things, but the degree of recognition is related to distance, of course, this must be in the same cultivation and the same ethereal realm. The Ethereal Realm is also divided into several realms, and the cloud dragon is currently only at the peak of the first realm, but these cloud dragons don't know about it.
When a person's cultivation realm is extremely high and his ethereal state reaches the highest realm, he can even see everything within a radius of thousands of miles, and he is meticulous.
In general, if you want to increase the detection range, the effect of perspective and recognition will be reduced.
Therefore, when Yun Long gradually expanded the scope of his ethereal realm, on the whole, he found that the entire forest showed black lines in his eyes, as if arranged according to a certain mystery, which revealed strangeness. It's as if they're in a chaotic labyrinth.
After knowing this situation, Yunlong's heart was a little heavy, it seemed that this place was definitely not a good place. Thinking of this, Yunlong told Ruoyu and Qingyang what he knew, so that they could be prepared and vigilant, so as not to be plotted by unknown dangers.
Ruoyu thought for a moment, then said to Yunlong: "According to what you said, there must be a great danger lurking here. I think we'd better send Qingyang out first, so as not to hurt him. ”
Yunlong thought about it, felt that it made sense, and was just about to agree, when he heard Qingyang say with a straight face: "Brother Yunlong, if you are foolish, I am not afraid, let me follow you." The master often said to me, 'To be a man, you must stand up to the sky, not afraid of hardships and dangers, and overcome fear', if the master knew that I would only hide out today, he would definitely scold me to death. Please. I promise I won't drag you down. ”
Yunlong and Ruoyu both nodded secretly, praising Yunqing as quite good at teaching his disciples, and at the same time, the two were also impressed by Qingyang's bravery.
"Okay, just follow along, but be careful to protect yourself and remember not to get too far away from us. If something happens to you, how can you let me explain to your master? Did you hear that?" Yunlong said to Qingyang in a warm voice.
"Hmm. Qingyang nodded fiercely, his face full of joy.
"Let's go. ”
About half an hour passed, and when several people were about to enter the middle of the woods, Yunlong suddenly waved his hand to stop everyone's footsteps.
"What's going on, what did you find?" Ruoyu couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know what this forest we're entering is called?"
"This forest still has a name, Brother Yunlong, tell me about it. Qingyang asked with some curiosity.
"This forest is called the Nether Ghost Forest. Yunlong said slowly.
Qingyang scratched his little head and asked, "How do you know?"
"Just a hundred feet ahead, there is a huge black stone tablet, on which are engraved the four blood characters 'Netherworld Ghost Forest'. Yun Long pointed to the distance and said softly.
