Chapter 22: The Ghost Land

Ghost land, according to legend, thousands of years ago, there was a sect here, occupying more than a thousand miles of space, tens of thousands of disciples, because several disciples met the princess who fled with a heavy treasure by chance, so he had evil thoughts, held the princess hostage, although he didn't get anything later, but still provoked the anger of the dynasty, ordered to destroy its sect, many innocent disciples were killed, resentment, so the soul did not disperse, and slowly became a gathering place for many lonely ghosts, because many yin souls gathered for a long time, the surrounding aura changed, and there were also some resources that the outside world did not have, the solid soul grass is one of them, many monks and monsters came from afar for the ghost grass。

The three of them who had rested all night appeared at the edge of the ghost land, and even during the day, the ghost land was still gray, and no light shone through.

"It's so cold" Geng Qing looked around, shivered, and said coquettishly.

"Senior sister, the yin qi in the ghost land is extremely heavy, and it is possible to lose your mind, we must support the defense of the body protection spirit shield, try to avoid the yin spirit, and return immediately after getting the spirit grass" Ma Chen said to Geng Qing with a serious face.

"Senior brother, Senior Brother Zheng and I have both been here, and everything is up to Senior Brother Ma," Geng Qing replied.

"Okay, let's go" Ma Chen took the lead, and the three of them propped up their shields and entered the ghost land.

Just a moment after the three of them left, Yuan Lou appeared on the edge, "What's going on with this yin qi?" As soon as he reached the edge, he felt the yin qi around him, but before he could get close, he dissipated directly, and Yuan Lou, who had been thinking for a moment, lit up his eyes, and turned his hand, the golden bead given by Xuanzhu appeared in his hand, and the golden light flowed, and all the yin qi within a few meters around him dissipated, "This bead can wake me up, and it can also expel yin qi, what is it" Yuan Lou looked at the bead in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you still here, you didn't go in, they all walked away" Split Mountain Armor chased up from the rear and asked.

"You want to go in too?" Yuan Lou put away the golden beads and looked back at the Split Mountain Armor.

"I didn't plan to go in, the yin qi here is very strong, and my cultivation can't go far and I have to retreat, otherwise, without a magic weapon to protect me, I am very dangerous, I decided to cultivate nearby, and in the late stage of Lingkai, I will go in" Split Mountain Jia looked at the gray space in front of him, a little jealous.

"Okay, thank you for leading the way, farewell" Yuan Lou arched his hand and turned around and entered the ghost land.

"That bead is a good thing, it can avoid yin qi, but this month the demon ape is very dangerous, and there is so much murderous aura on his body, I still don't mess with it" Split Mountain Jia looked at Yuanlou's increasingly blurred figure and muttered to himself, until it disappeared, he retracted his gaze and plunged into the ground and escaped.

Below the hillside, a woman dressed in gray was illusory, "woo" bowed her head and cried, her voice was gloomy, her long hair fluttered in her shawl, and she was holding a baby puppet in her hand, "Ah" A miserable cry remembered, the woman stopped crying, and the sound floated directly up the hillside, only to see three yin spirits and three monks fighting behind the slope, one yin soul was killed by the monk and let out a miserable scream, the woman saw this, and floated towards the monk with a loud roar.

"What's the matter with Ma Chen, didn't you say that there are fewer ghosts in this route, why are there more and more ghosts now" Zheng Gao shook the spirit sword in his hand and said angrily.

"How do I know, there were obviously no yin spirits last time, maybe they only gathered recently" Ma Chen said without looking back, as soon as he raised his hand, a three-headed fork appeared, slashing towards the yin soul that was entangled with Geng Qing, sensing the dangerous yin ghost, his body trembled, turned into yin qi and scattered, and recondensed not far away, looking at Geng Qing and Ma Chen coldly.

And at this time, the yin soul that was dispersed by Zheng Gao condensed again, "It can even be resurrected" Zheng Gao saw that the killed yin soul was recondensed, and he exclaimed, "No, the breath is not as strong as just now, and there is only the cultivation of the middle stage of the aura" A trace of surprise flashed in Zheng Gao's eyes who was muttering to himself, "It turns out that death will make them cultivate into a drastic fall"

"Go, don't fall in love" Ma Chen forced the yin soul to retreat, grabbed Geng Qing's hand and withdrew backwards, the three-headed fork conjured up a heavy phantom, blocking the two yin spirits, and the floating female yin spirit rushed towards Zheng Gao, and the inch-long nails were used as weapons flashing with cold light, grabbing it head.

"Uh" Zheng Gao just wanted to solve this mid-term yin ghost, saw the female yin soul who rushed up again, shouted, the spirit sword in his hand was swiped in his left hand, and the blood flowed in an instant, wrapping the spirit sword, the blood-stained spirit sword blood light was victorious, and shot towards the female yin soul that flew in, "woo" crying sounded, a sound wave came, hitting Zheng Gao, screaming, Zheng Gao, who was caught off guard, held his head in pain, the blood sword in the air became crumbling, and the female yin soul who saw this flashed and disappeared into yin qi, and the next moment, appeared behind Zheng Gao, and grabbed it with sharp claws.

The "hiss" robe was torn, revealing the black soft armor inside, and the huge force also made Zheng Gao fly out a foot away and fall to the ground, "Wow" Spit out a mouthful of blood, looked back at the female yin spirit, his face was full of fear, got up and ran to Geng Qing and Ma Chen behind him, for a moment, the three converged, Geng Qing saw that Zheng Gao was injured, and when he saw the four yin spirits who also converged, his face was ruthless, and he took out a handful of spirit runes from the storage bag, a little trick, countless spirit runes exploded, and a group of fire swallows appeared, overwhelming the world, surrounding the four yin spirits, and even the yin qi around them was slightly distorted.

When the female yin soul saw the dense fire swallows around her, there was a trace of fear in her eyes, the scorching yang fire hurt them a lot, and the terrifying heat burned her body even more illusory, and she raised her head to the sky and let out a long roar.

"No, hurry up, she seems to be calling for the same kind, and we will be in trouble when there are Yin Spirits coming" Geng Qing heard the shout, and grabbed the two people who wanted to sacrifice magic weapons to kill the Yin Souls, and said in a coquettish voice, "If you want to kill these Yin Souls, it will take a lot of work and feet, and if you die, you will condense, go quickly"

"Okay, let's go, the middle of the woods in front of you is it" Ma Chen put away his magic weapon and took the lead towards the woods.

As soon as the figures of the three disappeared, Yuan Lou appeared next to Huo Yan, "So it seems that Yin Soul is afraid of blood and flames" Yuan Lou, who saw the whole process in his eyes, muttered to himself, looked sideways, several Yin Spirits roared and smashed one after another Huo Yan, and it would not be long before he got out of trouble, and hurriedly used his demon power to chase in the direction where the three of them fled.

The dense yin forest was as quiet as death, and the three of them walked quickly through the forest, rolling up the dead leaves on the ground, "Something is wrong, along the way, even if you can't see the yin ghost, you can hear a slight yin howl, why is there no sound at all in this wood" Running, Zheng Gao was a little puzzled.

"Maybe the yin qi in the woods is thinner than the outside," Ma Chen replied casually, "It's here, it's in that crypt" The three of them came to a stone mound, and Ma Chen pointed to the dark cave under the stone mound.

A gust of wind blew at the entrance of the dark cave, "I didn't expect the Soul Solid Grass to grow in the crypt, which is a little different from the records in the classics" Geng Qing looked at the entrance of the cave and thought deeply, but when she thought of her own situation, the main thing to get the herbs this time was to refine an elixir that could break through, otherwise, with her age, after the golden age, it would be more difficult to advance, she could only live a few decades longer than mortals, and then she died depressed, thinking of this, Geng Qing's eyes flashed unwillingly, and she didn't hesitate," Lead the way, brother, the longer we stay here, the worse it will be."

"Follow me, the entrance to the cave is a little dark, there is light inside, and the top is open, and there is light coming in" After speaking, Ma Chen took the lead and walked in, as soon as he entered the crypt, he felt that the yin qi around him was thick, and the body protection spirit shield was blown slightly, increasing the spiritual power to support the shield and continue to walk, cup of tea, the three of them passed through a corner, and the eyes brightened, in a space of more than ten zhang, there was a small tree growing in the middle of the open space, although it was zhang high, but the branches and leaves were luxuriant, the leaves were sword-shaped, and a stream of yin qi was emitted from the tree, and there were three gray grasses growing under the tree, which was the soul solidifying grass.

Yuan Lou, who followed behind, also came to the corner, looked inside, and saw that the three of them were about to take out the utensils to collect the soul solidifying grass, and they were a little anxious in their hearts, "What to do, the chances of rushing up like this are very small" Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, and he was startled, and his right palm slapped behind him like lightning, "Poof" The sharp nails penetrated Yuan Lou's palm, piercing the palm through five blood holes, and Yuan Lou, who roared angrily, also saw that it was a yin ghost who attacked him, a woman with long hair and a shawl, and delicate facial features, the woman sneered, the jade hand clenched her fist, and a punch hit Yuan Lou's chest, and a clear bone cracking sound remembered, Yuan Lou was swept away by a huge force, fell into the space, and rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

"This is, Moon Demon Ape, how can there be a Moon Demon Ape here" Geng Qing exclaimed, and the three people who were about to collect the Soul Solid Grass stopped their movements, looking at the black shadow that flew in, Ma Chen and the others also looked puzzled.

"Hehe, let me tell you, it followed you to this place, you didn't even notice it all the way" The woman floated into the space, her body was extremely yin, looking at the three of them and laughing, there was a hint of charm in her pleasant voice, her eyes paused when she looked at Ma Chen, and her voice was cold, "Stupid, don't do it yet"

As soon as the woman's words fell, Ma Chen raised the three-headed fork that he had already taken out, and slashed at Zheng Gao, who was stunned, the body protection spirit shield was broken between breaths, and Zheng Gao, who came back to his senses, was shocked, and it was too late to sacrifice the magic weapon, so he could only barely raise his arm to meet the three-headed fork, "Ah" A miserable scream Zheng Gao, fell to the ground, his right arm was gone, and his chest collapsed.

"Ma Chen, you traitor, I didn't expect you to be sent by the Yin Spirit" Zheng Gao sealed his acupoint to stop the bleeding, and looked at Ma Chen and scolded.

"Senior brother, how can you be like this" Geng Qing was also looking at Ma Chen, with a look of disbelief.

Seeing that he failed to kill Zheng Gao, Ma Chen retreated, came to the woman's side, and looked at Geng Qing coldly, "Slut, do you really think that I can be confused by you and be willing to come here for you, the task of the sect is to find a relationship with the elders, the purpose is to let you come here, but I didn't expect Zheng Gao to accompany you here for the sake of beauty."

At this time, Geng Qing's face turned red with anger, "What are you bringing me here for?"

"Hehe, for what, with my sister's body, I can get out of here" The woman looked at Geng Qing's figure, nodding and smiling as she looked.

"Senior, you want a body, there are many female cultivators in my sect, I can help you find a better one" Geng Qing was stared at with a chill.

"Hehe, if it's so easy, I still need to bring you here, I'll have already gone out" The flowers of the woman's music trembled.

"According to your request, I have already brought you the antidote" Ma Chen ignored Geng Qing and turned his head to the woman.

"What's the hurry, wait for me to deal with them first, don't worry, I will definitely keep my word" After the woman finished speaking, she walked towards Yuanlou, "It turned out to be a demon beast, then let's start with you."

"Lingji Mid-Stage" looked at the woman who came over, and Yuan Lou's face was a little bitter.
