The believer dressed as a hawker took on the burden on the roadside and walked slowly into the pine forest next to the road.
Yingying looked at the disciples and rode deer to follow. In a blink of an eye, these ghosts had disappeared in the woods, and only the long-lasting strong wind on the road in the underworld was still left outside the woods, sweeping the loess on the road without getting tired of it.
It was late winter, but the deserted pine forest was still green and tall, with soft pine hair hanging on the elastic branches, about three meters above the ground, spreading out one by one with the paper strips facing all directions.
It was noon, and it was difficult to see a few rays of dark sunlight spread into the forest, making the forest very dark.
Only the flying ghost fire can barely illuminate them to avoid the tragedy of hitting a tree.
And along the way, there was always a lush and cool forest filled with yin energy; let alone a bird, even an old crow had not seen it, but it seemed even a quiet and lifeless forest.
"National Master." He walked out half a mile eastward, and the fungus hidden in her sleeve crawled out and said anxiously: "The fungus who were staying next to Master Shui came to a letter saying that they had entered the secret passage west of the secret passage.
Face entrance.”.
The Shui Master he mentioned was Lin Cong. The people of the gang can transmit ideas to each other, which makes it easier for Lin Cong and Yingying, who are far apart, to keep in touch.
Yingying nodded slightly and continued riding the deer silently to follow.
After walking for another half a cup of tea, they came to the shade of a hillside southeast of Fengdu. Here, there was still dense pine forests and few ghostly traces, but there was a circle of open space with a diameter of only one meter in the middle, with an eight-piece on it.
The ancient Ming Ling tree that is blooming every hundred years and fruit every eight hundred years stands upright among the pine forests.
The roots of the tree that were exposed on the ground were covered with long-haired moss.
Moreover, this old tree, which looks like an ancient cypress, is also very special; the right part is lush and leaves, and is full of vitality. However, although the left part is dead, the bark is yellow and has no leaves, the dead branches point straight to the sky, and are withered and immortal.
.
I have never seen any birds and beasts along the way. However, dozens of spiritual birds live on this ancient tree, all of which are the size of an ordinary human soul, but the plump feathers on their bodies are five colors of five-colored birds.
But they didn't cry, they just stood quietly on the branches and looked left and right curiously; occasionally they would fly not far away to find some food, but they just found it and then took it back to the tree to eat.
If you don’t pay attention, you will really not be able to notice that there is a thousand-year-old tree hidden in the vast pine forest.
Four Xuan Cultists Hou were under the tree. When Lao Li and Yingying and the others arrived just now, the four ghosts' eyes swept and fell on Yingying. After looking them up and down, they saw that although the other party was indifferent,
But his temperament is graceful, generous but not lacking in a beautiful and elegant manner. He immediately guessed that the other party was the national master, so he hurriedly saluted and said in unison: "Welcome the national master."
Yingying noticed the half-dead ancient spiritual tree, and after returning it one by one, she raised her head slightly to the ancient tree and asked slowly: "This is not the entrance to the secret passage built by the Mo family, right?"
"No." One of them was dressed in old clothes and was already an old man in his seventies. He took a step forward and smiled mysteriously: "The entrance is actually under your feet."
After speaking, he led Yingying's nine-colored deer away from the spot, squatted down and opened the thick pine hair and soil on the ground, and a thick bluestone slab appeared.
Yingying suddenly realized that the ancient tree that was too obvious was just a cover; if his ghost discovered that there was a secret passage and came to find the entrance, most ghosts would fall into a blind spot of thinking, and thought that the entrance was on this ancient tree, or the roots of the ancient tree.
Next. In this way, even if you search for it for hundreds of years, you may not be able to find the entrance.
At first, the Xuan Sect disciples who lurked to Fengdu only knew the secrets and did not know where the entrance was, and suffered such a loss. Fortunately, with Lin Cong's secret letter, they slowly found all the entrances and put the entire secret.
I touched the terrain all over the road.
"Old Li is the best at assassination among us. Tu Lu is killed by him with a knot. He will follow you and will not help you. He can also serve as a guide for you." The seemingly thin old ghost is just relying on singles.
His hand lifted the thick bluestone slab, and a square entrance suddenly appeared: "The deer can't enter, please leave it to us for supervision; we will help you with the wind outside."
Yingying undoubtedly pointed her head. She knew very well that Mo Zhai not only had the clever means of cheating ghosts, but also the soul of human beings with magical skills. The believers may be good at it, but they are only more than three feet wide and only half a foot tall.
They may not be able to help if they carry out assassination in the secret passage.
The Xuan Cultists do not follow them all, but rather, they are good things.
Lao Li took off the blue-bottomed flower cloth covered with baskets on both sides of the load he was hung on, and saw various hidden weapons lying quietly in the basket.
Plum blossom needles, flying locust stones, sleeve arrows, and flying knives are all there.
"The hidden weapons we got from the black market are not better than military weapons, but they are still okay." Old Li smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Please pick a few of them."
The national teacher and his group of ghosts came from afar and wanted to pass the Baodu Pass, so they did not bring any weapons. After thanking him, Yingying only picked up a few plum blossom needles from it accurately and put them on the hairpin as a hairpin. The rest
After several Su Tianju disciples did as they did, they each chose two sleeve arrows, hid them on their arms, and put down their sleeves to cover them.
They then selected two short swords and carried them on their backs.
After Lao Li finished the selection, he picked up ten flying knives for himself and inserted them under his waist belt in front of his abdomen. Then he chose a dagger and nine-section whip for himself to hang it behind his waist.
"No need to delay, let's enter the secret passage now." After Yingying waited for the disciples to choose hidden weapons, she saluted the old ghost slowly and said politely: "It will be a blessing for everyone to do anything about the wind."
After the old ghost nodded and responded, Yingying took a deep breath, and slowly walked into it with her disciples and Lao Li in sequence along the steep stone steps behind the secret passage.
Yingying, who was walking in the front, had just walked down ten steps and injected her soul energy into the long staff of the spirit snake holding it tightly. A gentle green light immediately appeared on the long staff, which could just illuminate the surrounding five.
The ruler is a striking way for the disciples behind her and Lao Li.
After walking out three meters again, they came to the end of the stairs. Looking around, they saw that there were many forks in the secret passage ahead. No one knew where the Modi and others would appear.
At this time, we must be able to contact the gangster. Yingying hurriedly called the gangster. The gangster got out of her sleeve and climbed onto her shoulders. After a while of concentration, she shook her head helplessly: "I have blessed the talismans in my secret passage. I
The ability is not available here."
The talismans created by ancient gods. Although they have no attack power, they can make the secret passage safe and sound safe even if the sky is turned upside down. They also have the effect of isolating the connection of thoughts and transmitting sounds, in order to prevent the Emperor of Fengdu from controlling the Mo with his thoughts.
The secret here was revealed.
With the talismans in the next generation, even if the ink person is controlled, once they enter the secret passage, the control technique will be invalid immediately. Therefore, the gangren who transmit information through thoughts also lose their advantages here.
"Then let's go to the middle of the secret passage." Yingying could sense it, but the secret passage was too huge, crisscrossing like a spider web. She couldn't sense it for a moment, and then she came up with this plan: "Old Li, come and guide the way."
”.
"No." Old Li responded, and with his green light and sharp eyes as sharp as an eagle's eyes, he looked around in front of him for a moment and recognized his way, raised his hand and pointed: "After walking four feet and one foot,
Turn left; the fastest shortcut.”.
Yingying nodded and walked forward; Lao Li followed, and guided them alongside each other, and guided them at the location of the mechanism in the secret passage.
The clear sounds echoed in the secret passage.
After walking around the secret passage for a cup of tea, Yingying suddenly stopped and took the soul energy into the staff while making a boo gesture.
The green light disappeared immediately, and darkness returned to the surrounding area.
The disciples gathered their energy and looked around the darkness, and their faces were already showing a solemn look when they frowned. Old Li did not dare to be negligent, and immediately raised his energy and looked ahead; he vaguely remembered that before the green light disappeared, he vaguely saw them already
When you arrive at the end of a secret passage, two feet further ahead is a huge stone chamber, which is in a square shape. On each side, there is a secret passage extending outward.
Although this place is still far from the center of the secret passage, there is no mechanism in the secret passage, which makes Lao Li secretly relieved.
Yingying and the others stood still for a while in a quiet and tense atmosphere, and suddenly heard a "Huh?" sound of surprise coming from not far away in front of them.
Then, there were continuous footsteps, from far to near in the darkness, until they reached about three feet away, and a slightly hoarse voice came: "I thought it was a Fengdu dog, it turned out to be
The disciples of Su Tianju.”
The pronunciation is sonorous and powerful, and the tone is full of energy; the tone is also relaxed and dull, as if it is not afraid of Su Tianju.
Yingying's fingers trembled, and she heard that the sound was exactly Mo Zhai's words. She was stunned and felt a little joy in her heart. Seeing that it had been exposed, Yingying smiled and asked kindly: "Old ghost of Mo Zhai."
, I didn’t expect you to be so tough?"
The coldness of the past made the old Li around him feel a little confused and alert, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Are the national teacher and Mo Zhai old friends?"
Mo Zhai in the darkness listened carefully and felt that the sound was very familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he dragged the long voice "Oh!" and chuckled, "It turned out to be Qianqian's most troublesome apprentice.
ah.".
After pausing, Mo Zhai asked again: "Where is your master? She is still so charming, is she seductive?" After speaking, she suddenly laughed a few times.
There was a hint of pride in the laughter.
"My master has been dead for many years." Yingying's face suddenly became dark, a little sad, and at the same time said coldly: "Before her death, she will entrust me to see you off!". (To be continued)
