On the river surface where the mist and halo are intertwined, the old man riding a duck has crossed the river more than halfway, and the crowd of onlookers on the shore can no longer hold back at the moment, except for the two guys who are unable to catch up and scratch their ears and cheeks and can't think of a way to cross the river, the rest of the people have their own magical powers, wanting to cross the river and enter the capital.

Zhang Jiao is no exception.

A rich gray-white aura continued to pour out from his body, converging at his feet, and a smoky gray-white walkway spread towards the river.

He stepped out and stepped on the aisle, the smoke-like aisle quickly boiled, and between the smoke tumbling and filling, Zhang Jiao's whole figure became illusory, and the whole person was like a ghost shuttling on the river from time to time.

As soon as he stepped into the river, Zhang Jiao understood why the previous kappa head was moving so slowly.

The yin qi in front of him is pervasive, the evil qi condenses into a black cloud covering the whole heaven and earth, countless yin spirits of all kinds stand on the river lamp, constantly floating on the surface of the river, they are crying, or singing, or laughing, from time to time there are many strange and strange yin spirits colliding together, and then the two gather together, stuff themselves into each other's bodies, and become more and more ugly and weird.

The whole scene is ghostly, especially weird and gloomy.

Zhang Jiao's body was filled with yin qi, and the gray-white aura fluttered behind him, like countless tentacles dancing with teeth and claws, tearing the yin spirits passing by or unconsciously leaning over from time to time into wisps of yin qi.

His left eye was scarlet, his eyeballs shrunk into cat-like vertical pupils, and the two ends of the needle-like points firmly to the north and south characters floating in the eye socket.

This seems to the outside world to be only a few hundred meters away from the river, but when you really step in, you will find that the river in front of you is so vast that you can't see any margin at a glance.

There was a blank all around, there was no comparison of references, and it was impossible to distinguish between the front and back, the left and right, the east and west, the north and the south. In addition, the yin and evil in the river gathered, and the yin and evil qi condensed, and the river surface

It's even more evil.

Gusts of yin wind mixed with a mourning song-like murmur, like a magic sound pervasive in your ears, constantly taking away the vitality and consciousness of your body, and the wandering yin spirits around are even more instinctively entangled, wanting to drag you here forever, forever sinking.

Zhang Jiao naturally didn't have this kind of trouble, he was more suitable for this place at the moment than these spiritless Yin Spirits. Surrounded by dead yin qi all around, the figure looms, on the pale face, one eye is full of blood, constantly shuttling among the yin spirits, looking at it is simply not like a living person.

If you look outside the river, you can see that his figure is flashing and flashing, and he slowly catches up with the old man who rides the duck first, leaving many people behind.

Time passed minute by minute, and the sub-hour was gradually coming to an end.

After traveling on the vast Yinchuan River for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and the scenery in front of him that had not changed for thousands of years suddenly changed.

A blue-black majestic giant city suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he looked up, this huge city was not much high, and even the lantern hanging above the door of the building looked huge.

Zhang Jiao stood in front of it like an ant standing in front of a high mountain, looking incomparably small and humble.

The old man, who had gone ashore one step earlier, was staring at the giant city in a daze, not even knowing that the dry smoke in his hand had been extinguished.

In the center of the main gate, under the simple and atmospheric word Xudu, the vermilion city gate is wide open, and when you look inside from the outside, it is just a black piece, and you can't see anything clearly. But everyone had a great sense of fear at the open city gate, as if there was a huge beast in front of them with its mouth open, just waiting for them to send it to the door.

Zhang Jiao was no exception, looking at the city gate in front of him, which was as black as the front teeth of a giant beast, a huge sense of panic continued to come to his heart, and even the two powerful ghosts in his body seemed to be much quieter.

Next to the weird city gate, Zhang Jiao and the old man stayed under the city tower, and no one moved first

Until the time of the child will pass. In the meantime, six more people passed through the strange river behind them one after another, and came to the front of the capital city, looking at this legendary ghost town while observing the rest of the people.

This time, everyone calmed down and didn't rush to the process, but you look at me and I look at you, waiting for others to come out first.

Soon, the time had passed, and a fluctuating and ghostly voice suddenly resounded in everyone's ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has passed, why haven't you entered the city yet, you can see that the king has been waiting for a long time. ”

At the dark city gate, a figure dressed in a green robe and smiling suddenly floated out and came to the eight people.

"Come with me, everybody. ”

Everyone looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, nodded subconsciously, and didn't ask why, who he was, so they obeyed his words and walked towards the gate of the capital city, about to enter the city.

"You're touching a special ghost, Ghost Judge. ”

At this moment, the sudden prompt sound suddenly woke Zhang Jiao up, and his footsteps about to step into the capital subconsciously stopped in the air, and the ghost judge who led the front suddenly looked back, and his head was full of smiles after turning one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Why did the mage stop?"

Zhang Jiao looked at the ghost judge's eyes, and his mind turned quickly.

"He still has a task to do, no matter how terrifying and weird this ghost town is, this one will have to go once, and he has already stepped on someone else's territory, and it is so easy to retreat. ”

Now that he has made a choice, he is not a mother-in-law at the moment, and the footsteps hanging in the air fall directly, and he will continue to walk in with the ghost judge. It's just that I've made up my mind that once I can't do anything, I will immediately give up all tasks and choose to return.

It's just that accidents always happen one after another.

Just as he was about to act, an unknown spherical object with a heavy afterimage suddenly flew directly past his ear and rushed towards the old man in the front row, and at the same time, bursts of fury continued to come.

"Old immortal thing, you dare to yin me?"

Zhang Jiao looked closely, and saw that the head of the kappa, which had been immersed in the river before, was now biting the old man's neck desperately with red eyes, and he was still smiling strangely in his mouth, like a crow and a vulture.

"You old Wang Ba, who has no children and grandchildren, you hurt me and I have to use this flying head descend that has not yet been cultivated, and since then I have become neither human nor ghost, and I will never have a chance to be born again. ”

"I want you dead!"

In the midst of the roar, the kappa head that had really become a kappa head frantically bit the old man's neck.

The sharp teeth of the inverted triangle kept making a terrifying grinding sound, obviously hating the old man into the bone marrow, and he was about to be torn alive at this moment.

The old man looked at the oncoming head sluggishly, and did not react at all, seeing that he was about to be bitten off by the kappa's head, and he was dying.

It's just that before it could finish its mouth, the ghost judge who walked in the front had already laughed.

"Since this mage is here, don't mess around, the king has been waiting for a long time. ”

The kappa head flying in the air was like a mosquito caught in a spider's web, and after a few violent struggles, it stopped moving, hung quietly on the old man's shoulder, and walked towards the city together.

Zhang Jiao had a chance to see clearly.

The kappa had no body below the head and neck, and the only remaining neck was dry and flattened, and it was densely covered with finger-length purple hair, and a long string of pink intestines connecting the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys loomed in the purple hair, which looked particularly permeable.

Is this the flying head landing in the story of Chibiki?

Zhang Jiao observed as he followed the ghost judge into the destination of his mission, the ghost city of Xudu.

Xudu didn't dance like Zhang Jiao thought, and the whole looked like the ancient cities built by filming that he had been to before.

The whole is boxy, the interior houses are numerous, although it looks a little dilapidated and dilapidated, but the whole is still well preserved, but it is too cold and empty, there is no life, and there is not even a ghost shadow.

Of course, this may also be the reason why he followed the ghost judge, and every time they took a step, the scene in front of them changed, and in just a few steps, the ghost judge led them to an extremely empty hall.

The main hall is dark, and only a large black cauldron like an indoor swimming pool stands in the center in the center.

The big black cauldron is bottomless, and the turbid yellow liquid is constantly tumbling in the pot. Under the pot, thousands and hundreds of ant-like imps are blowing hard with their cheeks, which looks particularly strange.

The ghost judge who led them to the main hall stopped and smiled at the people who had already come to their senses, "Fellow mages, please start your performance, the king has been waiting for a long time. ”

After speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared, and in the corner of the main hall, clusters of dark green lights suddenly lit up, illuminating everything around him.

Zhang Jiao and the others found that they were standing on a raised stone platform, with turbid yellow liquid tumbling around them, and blazing heat waves kept coming from the turbid yellow liquid, as if they were about to scorch them.

Zhang Jiao subconsciously moved his hands and feet, and a jingling sound came immediately, only to see that all of them were locked in black chains, even the kappa head.

These jet-black iron chains are filled with yin qi, whether they are true or not, whether they are false or not, they can clearly feel its existence, but they will not be affected by these chains when they move around or even cast spells, it is really mysterious.

At this moment, a loud and eerie voice descended from the sky.

"In a stick of incense, those who find the key to open the chain can leave the oil pot. ”

As soon as the words fell, on the stone platform where they were standing, an incense candle about a meter thick with an arm suddenly stood in the center, and a little ghost who was charred black and exuded a little fire jumped up and jumped on the incense head, lit it and began to gnaw on the incense head while holding the incense head, and saw that the incense head was less than a point.

A key with a shimmering brass sheen descended from the sky, turned into a small red snake, and burrowed directly into the bubbling oil pot, wandering freely in the hot oil.

"You participated in the Xudu Mage Society, and mission 2 was completed. ”

Zhang Jiao listened to the prompt sound of the completion of the task in his ears, and there was no joy in his eyes.

He realized that he had miscalculated.

He originally thought that Master Xudu would be like Wulin Feng who fought directly in the ring and fought alone, no matter how bad it was, it would be a steel cage competition, and there would be a multi-person brawl, but he never expected that this Xudu Mage would be a wise and brave rush.
