It is taboo to light a lantern in this ghost gate.
But Xu Mo wants to touch this taboo now, because he still wants to lure out the sword ghost.
One of the keys to his daring to break the taboo was that he had fought a hundred swords with the Sword Demon before, with no outcome.
The other party can't kill him.
The so-called taboo is no longer a taboo.
Rules are made for those who cannot break them.
The green light could only illuminate a small area. Fortunately, the space in this ghost gate was smaller than Xu Mo thought.
You can see that the location you just entered is actually a courtyard gate.
Inside is an extremely dilapidated old house.
Although it looks very simple and even some places are old and decayed, it can be seen that the architectural style here is very particular.
Even though it is old and dilapidated, it still looks like a luxurious mansion of a wealthy family.
Going further, Xu Mo discovered something very incredible.
Outside this house, there is even more space.
It seems to be a small town.
It's just that it's too dark, everything is hidden in the darkness, and in this darkness, there must be something unknown hidden.
Xu Mo walked forward and noticed something under his feet.
Squat down and take a closer look.
It's a plaque.
It's the kind of wooden sign that hangs on the door.
The plaque was covered with decayed dust and broken things that looked like black fluff. After it was wiped off, the words on it were clearly visible.
"Sword Sect!"
Xu Mo was stunned.
Is this Sword Sect the same thing as the Sword Sect I know?
When Xu Mo was practicing swordsmanship before, he accidentally learned about "Shangqing Sword Essence" during a cycle, and finally obtained the sword manual of Shangqing Sword Essence.
I just haven't been able to understand the secret.
"Shangqing Sword Essence" comes from the Sword Sect.
Later, it was here that the sword ghost pointed out to him that the Sword Essence of the Supreme Purity was nothing more than a key to dreams.
This is also true. With the help of this key to the dream, Xu Mo finally entered the city of Huazhongfang.
This matter has become one of Xu Mo's must-do procedures in recent cycles.
Because in order to contact Xiangying’s biggest helper and partner, we can only enter Fangshi.
But Xu Mo didn't expect that the sword ghost who answered "Shangqing Sword Essence" for him would be in a strange place with a plaque of "Sword Sect".
coincide?
Or is that sword ghost related to the Sword Sect?
Xu Mo is the kind of person who doesn't trust others easily, and can even be said to be suspicious and has persecutory delusions.
There is no way, this is all forced by reality.
Just like last time, even the so-called ancestors who upheld humanity and the right path were part of the weirdness. Tell me, who can Xu Mo trust now?
So immediately there were all kinds of bad speculations, full of conspiracies and evil intentions, filling Xu Mo's mind.
"Sword Demon has something to do with the Sword Sect, so the other party may have deliberately misled me when he gave me the answer to the Sword Essence of the Supreme Purity. So, is the dream key he gave me the same as in "The Sword Essence of the Supreme Purity"?
What’s recorded?”
Xu Mo was very skeptical.
And the more I thought about it, the more I felt there was a problem.
Now that he has discovered the clue, Xu Mo naturally wants to follow this clue and continue to investigate. He wants to dig out the secret.
Not just to satisfy my curiosity.
Also because there may be some huge secrets and benefits hidden there.
It feels the same as guessing the blind box.
Is it good or bad.
You'll know when you take it apart.
Keep exploring.
Go around a side door in front and enter a larger courtyard.
Vaguely, you can see someone here.
And there are quite a few.
If it were an ordinary person, he would suddenly walk forward with a lantern, and suddenly find a group of people standing in front of him. In such a dark and quiet environment, it would definitely scare people.
It's possible to wet your pants.
But Xu Mo's eyes lit up and he became excited.
After staying in this weird world for a long time, Xu Mo found that he was a little abnormal without even realizing it.
"Is it a human or a ghost?"
Xu Mo walked over expectantly and found that it was a mummy.
In the yard, there were mummies of different shapes standing.
There must be a dozen.
There are men and women.
Of course, there are still more men.
The clothes of some mummies have been rotten and broken, and only some rotten cloth is hanging on the body. If they are touched, they may be scattered on the ground.
Xu Mo did not touch these mummies.
He looked at it and thought it looked familiar.
The mummies of Taoist Piaoyun in Heshan Temple are similar in approach and purpose.
"Taoist Piaoyun must have discovered the Lightless Ghost Realm, so he fell in love with Tao'er, but the specifics of what he encountered are still unknown. It's a bit like he was cursed and turned into a half-dead, half-alive mummy.
"
Xu Mo made a guess in his mind.
The mummies here may have encountered the same thing as Taoist Piaoyun.
Then do they have Nascent Soul in their stomachs?
Xu Mo used the Tiger Soul Sword to open the clothes of a mummy.
No.
Keep picking.
Found it.
There are a few mummies with Nascent Soul in their bellies.
It's just that they are all very small, and their torsos don't stick out much.
Obviously they are all cultivators of immortality. I don't know what happened, but they suffered a great disaster and ended up in this situation.
There were many swords scattered on the ground.
Some mummies are still holding the swords in their hands, but these swords are already rusty. Not to mention the spirit, it is estimated that they can be broken with a hard bend.
Has become scrap metal.
But after all, they are still swords, and Xu Mo looked carefully and saw that there were many of them.
Not only in the hands of mummies, there are also many on the surrounding ground.
Xu Mo suddenly had an idea, unleashed his magic power, and performed a sword technique.
"Sword rises!"
The sword pointed upwards.
Hearing clattering noises from all around, hundreds of rusty swords rose up in the air and slowly gathered around Xu Mo.
It feels much safer now.
If there is something dangerous and strange, just point it at me and a hundred swords will come out, no matter what it is, it will stab you to the core.
Keep walking inside.
Walking through a corridor is a process that tests one's courage.
The green lights illuminate the corridor extending forward in a gloomy green. In some places, cobwebs are fluttering, and in some places rags are hanging down. They are all frightening points. Who knows if you lift up the rags, and a picture will suddenly appear.
Horrible grimace coming.
Xu Mo hoped so.
As a result, Xu Mo was greatly disappointed.
There's nothing in it.
Xu Mo found that this place was bigger than he thought, and it would be too time-consuming for him to explore it alone.
So wave the little black flag.
Call out Chu Bai and Gui Shou, who were just captured.
"Go and help me explore. If you find anything, tell me immediately. Don't think about escaping. You guys have the seal of my order on your body, so be smart."
Xu Mo bluffed.
Chu Bai and Gui Shou left separately.
After passing the corridor, there is a large hall in front.
Xu Mo was about to approach when suddenly he saw a bright light in the hall.
It was also green like the lantern in his hand.
This made him excited, and he hurriedly took a few steps, followed by hundreds of broken and rusty swords.
Getting closer.
Just as Xu Mo was going up the stone steps, a voice whispered from his ear.
"Don't go!"
The next moment, a cold light flashed, and the flag on a dilapidated flagpole nearby was chopped off. The black flag cloth fell down, covering Xu Mo and the lantern in his hand.
Xu Mo was about to fight back, but the voice whispered: "It's me."
Xu Mo recognized it, it was a sword ghost.
Why is this guy so invisible, and what is he going to do?
"Don't move. If you are discovered by the patrol, you will end up like those mummies."
Hearing this, Xu Mo's heart was moved, but he did not move. Instead, he leaned down and further covered the lantern with his robe. In this way, the two layers of fabric covered the already weak lantern with no light.
However, the flag that was chopped off just now was shattered and had gaps. Xu Mo could see the situation outside through the gaps.
Outside, 99% of the place was pitch black. Only over there, a green light source was moving. The outline of the main hall could be vaguely seen around the light source.
There should be a person walking out of the hall holding a lantern.
There were footsteps.
Xu Mo looked carefully.
I saw the other party walking out of the hall, but what I saw was that his appearance was extremely weird.
Judging from the outline, the body proportions are extremely uncoordinated.
First of all, the opponent is very tall.
It's as tall as two adults stacked on top of each other.
But the position of the lantern is very low, and there are also weird places.
Footsteps.
A lot, very broken.
It looked like several people walking.
But the other party is obviously alone.
Then Xu Mo saw the other party's whole body. Even Xu Mo, who had seen too many strange things, was also stunned by the appearance of this 'inspector'.
The opponent looked like a giant centipede walking with its upper body lifted up.
Those broken footsteps that I just heard were coming from the other party. The reason is very simple. This thing really has so many legs.
As the patrol came out, the distance got closer, and the other party held a lantern again, so we could see more clearly.
It seemed like the corpses of dozens of people were glued together and fused together into a zombie monster.
Those twisted and terrifying faces, those flexing and moving arms, and all kinds of thighs.
The impact of this scene made even Xu Mo call him stupid.
When it comes to disgusting people, this thing is definitely professional.
