360, Ning Caichen, enter Fengdu! [4000 words](1/2)
[Today's two chapters are four thousand words, so these two updates are just for the two updates.]
There is no building in the middle of the ghost town, only a huge rift of darkness.
The crack was a hundred feet long and more than twenty feet wide. The endless yin death energy rolled out from the crack, rushing into the sky like a fountain, soaking the already dark sky into the dark realm even darker and deeper.
A huge locust tree with lush branches and leaves is rooted on the side of the crack. Under the locust tree, a woman in palace dress in thick makeup is swallowing and spitting out rich yin energy and practicing and meditating.
Suddenly, a dark carriage appeared in front of the crack in the air, and under the control of the black-robed coachman, he slowly drove towards the crack.
The woman in the palace dress under the locust tree opened her eyes, saw the carriage, stood up and bowed, and said in the strange voice of the man and the woman: "It turns out to be His Highness. I wonder what the princess is here?"
Xiao Zhuo lifted the curtain of the car, poked his head out, and said coldly to the woman in the palace dress: "Why should the princess tell you when she is doing her own thing? You should do your duty and be honest in guarding this place."
"Bitch!"
The woman in the palace dress was furious and scolded with a pale face: "But a mere ghost, she was still making a living under her grandma last year. Now she has climbed up to the princess' high branch, so she doesn't know what her surname is? Grandma today, she has to discipline you on behalf of the princess!"
Before she finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand, opened her five fingers and five nails, which quickly became longer. She was like five black flying swords, and shot Xiao Zhuo in electric light.
Xiao Zhuo sneered and looked at the woman in the palace dress, neither dodging nor resisting.
Seeing that the five nails were about to pierce her, the black-robed coachman next to her who had been silent suddenly raised a pale and thin palm like a skeleton, grabbed it lightly and twisted it.
Click!
With the crisp sound, the five flying sword-like nails were shattered by the driver.
The woman in the palace dress shook her figure and groaned, her face turned pale, but she gave a slight slight depression that spread along her fingernails.
She looked at the black-robed coachman with fear, her eyes flashing and she didn't say a word.
The coachman ignored her, took back her hand, held the reins, and drove toward the cracks.
Xiao Zhuo snorted lightly, gave grandma a blank look, and turned back into the carriage.
Grandma did not take action again, but only looked at the carriage coldly. It was not until the carriage entered the crack that she snorted heavily, brushed her sleeves back to the tree, and continued to meditate with her eyes closed.
Inside the carriage.
Nie Xiaoqian whispered: "The person outside is the tree demon of Lanruo Temple. Now he is working under my king's hands. He is very respected by the king and is guarding the passage."
Xiaolongnu said: "Where does the passage that the princess mentioned lead to? Why do we have to guard the tree demon and other big monsters in person?"
Nie Xiaoqian said: "Don't worry, everyone. We have entered the passage and will be able to reach our goal soon. You can tell at a glance."
Seeing that she was kept in hiding, Xiaolongnu didn't ask, and asked another question: "Forgive me for my rudeness. I dare to ask the princess, who is the coachman outside? Is he a general under the Black Mountain?"
The battle between grandma and the coachman seemed calm and gentle, but even though everyone was in the carriage, they could sense the powerful aura that the two burst out.
Grandma's attack was at least equivalent to the attack of a five-star high-level powerful man. The aura that the coachman instantly burst out was even more than the level of the six-star initial level.
The strength of the tree demon grandma was long expected by everyone in the boss team.
But the mysterious coachman was actually stronger than grandma, which was a bit unexpected to everyone. This space was very strange. When not taking action, even if the two people were close, it would be difficult to use spiritual awareness to perceive each other's breath. Only when the action was taken, the breath completely burst out can it be perceived with spiritual awareness.
So everyone never knew that the mysterious coachman who had never talked to everyone so far, and could not even see his true face, was actually a master with six-star strength.
“…”
Nie Xiaoqian was silent for a while, and then said bitterly: "Please rest assured that he is not a general under Heishan. His name is Ning Caichen... He used to be my favorite..."
"Ning Caichen?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jing suddenly felt a storm and hurricane in his heart.
I never expected that the mysterious coachman outside would be Ning Caichen!
That sunny, cheerful, handsome and elegant little scholar, although he is powerless, but honest and kind...
How did it become like this now?
Although I have never seen his true face, just looking at his skinny palms like a skeleton, you can tell what his body looks like under his black robe looks like.
What shocked Ouyang Jing and others even more was that Ning Caichen, who had once had to escape in front of the lonely ghost, has now become stronger than the tree demon grandma!
What exactly has he experienced?
How could he turn from an ordinary mortal into a six-star strongman in just one year?
This speed of promotion is beyond the reach of those who reincarnate!
Although they were shocked and confused, Ouyang Jing and the veteran drivers of the boss team were all calm and thought that they had never heard of the name "Ning Caichen".
Xiaolongnu even exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the old demon of Black Mountain had such a good weapon to allow the princess who had once loved to continue to be your coachman!"
"Hehe..." Nie Xiaoqian smiled bitterly, as if she didn't want to mention the sad things, and fell into silence.
Xiaolongnu was not easy to force her to speak, so she could only stay silent with her.
After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Nie Xiaoqian finally spoke: "Everyone, we're here."
While speaking, a slender hand lifted the golden silk gauze tent that blocked everyone's sight and sensed. Nie Xiaoqian, wearing a gorgeous palace outfit, finally walked out of the gauze tent and appeared in front of everyone.
Ouyang Jing looked at it and felt that the woman in front of him was indeed worthy of the title of No. 1 female ghost
She has a long and graceful figure, without makeup, and also has a stunning posture.
Her skin is like snow, crystal clear and flawless. Her temperament is cold and elegant. Although she is wearing a gorgeous palace outfit with red and purple, she is as pure as a lotus, giving people a sense of purity and nobility that can be viewed from afar and not played with.
"It is worthy of being the top card under the tree demon grandma! It is worthy of being the first female ghost who can kill humans and ghosts, and even the old demon in Black Mountain is attracted by it!" Ouyang Jing sighed in his heart: "It turns out that I am naturally beautiful, and I still feel pity for you!"
Just as he was feeling, Nie Xiaoqian had moved his lotus steps lightly, stepped forward slowly, and said softly: "The king has set up many restrictions at the entrance. After you get off the car, please pay attention to where I am standing. Do not take a wrong step, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to trigger the restrictions. If the king is alarmed, it will be difficult for me to explain."
Everyone hurriedly followed and got off the carriage with Nie Xiaoqian.
After getting off the car, everyone looked around and found that the carriage was parked in a canyon. The bottom of the valley was not wide, and it could only accommodate the carriage. There were straight cliffs on both sides, and only a dark sky was exposed above.
Seeing that there was no road around, Ouyang Jing couldn't help but think: "Did the carriage just drove down from the cliff?"
Just as she was thinking about it, Xiaoqian was already taking Xiaozhuo and the coachman and walking forward.
Ouyang Jing and others quickly followed Xiaoqian, staring at the place where she was every step, and did not dare to neglect the slightest.
After walking for more than a hundred feet, the terrain of the canyon gradually widened. After turning a few more turns, a skeleton gate suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The skeleton gate is made of dense, black and white mottled skulls. There are human skulls of all sizes, as well as skulls of various birds and beasts, reptiles, and even some strange and diverse, and they are obviously the skulls of alien monsters.
Countless skulls piled up into this huge portal that was hundreds of feet tall and more than thirty feet wide.
Above the skeleton gate, there was a door plaque hanging. But most of the door plaque was broken, only a small piece left, and I couldn't see what was originally written on it.
Not only is the door plaque broken, but the entire gate is also on the verge of breaking. Every skull that makes up the door is covered with cracks, which look like it may be broken at any time.
There is no door panel, only the door frame. Inside the door frame is a slowly rotating black vortex. The endless yin and death aura gushed out from the black vortex like a tide and overflowed to the outside world.
The Yin-Death Qi here is so strong that Ouyang Jing had to use three success forces to resist the infiltration and erosion of the Yin-Death Qi.
Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaozhuo, the coachman stopped ten feet in front of the skeleton gate.
"There is no ban here." She looked up at the skeleton gate and said, "A year and three months ago, my king fought fiercely with that group of mysterious people. The passage that was accidentally opened was this skeleton gate. The source of the expansion of the underworld is also here."
When Ouyang Jing and others heard this, they were all excited and realized that they were finally approaching the truth about the death of the reincarnation.
Xiaolongnu asked, "What is this place? Where does this skeleton gate lead to?"
Nie Xiaoqian was silent for a while and said leisurely: "There is Fengdu behind the door."
"Fengdu?"
Ouyang Jing and others were shocked, and they immediately took out their weapons and acted as a warning.
Xiaolongnu stared at Nie Xiaoqian with fierce eyes and said in a deep voice: "What does the princess mean? The old demon of Heishan has entered Fengdu. Fengdu is the old nest of Heishan. The princess brings us here... Could it be that she wants to present us to Heishan?"
"I knew you would misunderstand." Nie Xiaoqian looked back and smiled sweetly: "My king just occupied this passage to Fengdu and could get some benefits, so he claimed to have entered Fengdu. But in fact..."
She shook her head, "The real Fengdu is still a land without a border."
"What?"
Ouyang Jing and others looked at each other, wondering which sentence she said was true or which sentence was false.
"You will know when you go in with me."
Nie Xiaoqian smiled and led Xiao Zhuo, the coachman walked towards the skeleton gate, and soon threw himself into the black vortex and disappeared without a trace.
"Captain, what should I do?" Ouyang Jing and others looked at Xiaolongnu and waited for her captain to make an idea.
"How can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? I've reached this point, and I'll have to go through the tiger's den!"
Xiaolongnu bit her silver teeth and held two swords in her hand. She practiced her whole body and maintained a stress state that could hit a thunder attack at any time. She should first move towards the black vortex.
Ouyang Jing and others also made sufficient preparations and followed closely.
Everyone threw themselves into the black vortex and felt as if they had entered the ocean condensed by the yin death energy, and they felt suffocating for a moment. Not only did the breathing almost stagnate, but the erosion of the yin death energy also became even more violent. Ouyang Jing had enough success to resist the erosion.
But this feeling lasted for only a short moment.
Soon, everyone felt lighter around them, their eyes lit up, and they had already appeared in an empty stone platform square.
Ouyang Jing and the other two remained highly alert and looked around nervously. They saw Nie Xiaoqian and the other two standing not far ahead of them, smiling at them. And in this thousand-foot-meter-long stone platform square, there was no one else except Nie Xiaoqian and the other two.
Everyone then breathed a little relieved and looked further away.
At first glance, even the little dragon girl, Gandalf, who was used to the strong winds and waves and experienced various strange worlds of reincarnation, could not help but be stunned.
