Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 67: Square
The living return to the human world, and the dead return to the underworld. This is the only law in the world.
Although there are occasional exceptions, such as some ghosts who are unwilling to leave and continue to wander in the world after death, most of them will not last long and will eventually be taken back by the underworld. There are very few people who can really stay in the human world for a long time, and most of them are related to human cultivators. Human cultivators collect ghosts around them through some secret cultivation techniques to resist the call of the underworld, which is the path of ghosts.
But the mausoleum on the island in front of me is not like that.
The owner of the mausoleum is a human emperor who died 3,200 years ago. He also created a legendary experience in the human world, had a prominent life and a glorious past, and was buried here after his death.
But no one has ever known that after the emperor died, his soul did not enter the underworld.
However, what the human world does not know does not mean that the underworld does not know.
The underworld has its own rules for attracting ghosts. Whenever a life dies and the soul escapes from becoming a ghost, the dead attendants, impermanence, etc. who are responsible for guiding them will sense it and lead the ghosts into the world. If there are those large-scale deaths, Pluto will even personally take action to guide them.
This king was in the 95th position during his lifetime, and he was a cultivator at the peak of Tianxin. After his death, he touched life and death, and the death of his life and the birth of ghosts can be clearly felt in the underworld.
But the strange thing is that no matter how hard they try, they just can't attract this ghost.
If the Ghost Sect intercepts this ghost, then that’s it, it’s not a big deal to the underworld. The problem is that all signs indicate that no ghost sect has intercepted this ghost.
So this ghost has been in the world for thousands of years and has become a difficult mystery.
If it's just an unsolved case, most ghosts won't be very interested in a missing ghost. Ghosts are not humans, so they don't have such serious curiosity.
But this invasion of the underworld changed everything.
By chance, a ghost king discovered this tomb and sensed powerful power from it. What surprised it most was that, according to Deadpool's discovery, the owner of the tomb was the emperor who was supposed to enter the underworld but never did.
The ghost king then visited the tomb.
For ghosts, entering the tomb is like going home, and there should be no danger.
But once it left, it never looked back.
Afterwards, the ghost ship freed itself and the ghosts dispersed. The news gradually spread. Finally, some ghost kings realized that this place was strange and came here to see what happened. But as long as they went, they never looked back.
But this danger did not scare the ghosts, but made them even crazier and attracted more powerful ghosts.
In dangerous places, there must be rare treasures.
This is not only the understanding of human cultivators, but also the understanding of ghosts.
What's more, judging from the history of this place, it is obviously a treasure related to the underworld.
In this case, those ghosts who got the news naturally gathered.
Just like human cultivators searching for secrets and treasures, this is actually an adventure journey from the underworld.
The ghosts gathered at this moment are gathering strength. When they think they are strong enough, they will attack the tomb.
After knowing this, Tang Jie understood why Moro Sheng had attracted him. He still wanted to unite the forces of the Moro family and strive to get more benefits from this adventure.
As expected, Moro Shengji said: "Now you understand it, how about it? Will you join us?"
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Since we have come, there is no reason to leave just like that."
Mo Luosheng clapped his hands and laughed: "I knew you wouldn't refuse."
Has already led Tang Jie into the team.
After waiting for nearly a day, more than thirty ghost ships approached during this day, and in the blink of an eye, the number of ghost ships was approaching sixty.
Seeing this situation, Tang Jie couldn't help but secretly thought that if he could take advantage of the danger in the mausoleum to kill all the ghosts, it would be like solving a major force for mankind.
Thinking of this, I have made up my mind to secretly sabotage the ghosts' exploration trip.
Seeing that there were enough ghost ships coming, a ghost king finally couldn't control his temper and shouted to get in.
This is the most powerful expedition team so far. There are more than 60 ghost ship owners, plus the generals on the ship. There are more than 150 king-level ghosts alone. thousand. Faced with such a powerful force, even if the Hades Emperor comes in person, he still has to give way.
For this reason, the ghosts became so courageous that they shouted to enter the tomb.
The leading ghost kings probably felt that it was almost done, so they stopped waiting. They came to the island one after another.
Dozens of ghost boats carrying all the ghosts entered in a mighty manner. Tang Jie did not take the ghosts on the night boat, so he simply sat on Morosheng's boat and followed the troops. Moro was so victorious that he didn't say anything. For him, such a Moro was easier to control.
After walking for a while, we saw a huge mausoleum standing in the distance.
In front of the mausoleum is a large square. The ground is paved with completely cut purple bluestone. It is smooth and neat. Even after years of changes, it is still as bright as new. There are also pavilions built every hundred feet for rest.
Although the mausoleum was built for more than a thousand years, it is still intact. You can faintly feel the power of the formation, which makes it impervious to spring and autumn, unstained by frost and snow, and impervious to flies and insects.
When they arrived at the square, the ghost ships stopped automatically, and there was a force that prevented them from getting any closer.
The ghost kings got off the boat one after another. One of them tapped the empty space above the stone slab with his hand, and saw a rippling ripple centered around the place where he pointed.
"It's a magic shield. It doesn't look very strong. It's used to protect against birds and beasts, to remove dust and stop wind." The ghost king said and tore it apart with force, and indeed tore some of the film-like light shield apart.
Seeing this situation, Tang Jie's mouth moved slightly, showing a look of disdain.
Although these ghosts are powerful and not stupid, they live in the underworld. There are many things in the world that are too complicated for them, especially the formations and mechanisms that are famous for consuming resources and being powerful. , which is extremely rare in the underworld. Because of this, they have no idea that they are actually facing a powerful magic circle, and the magic shield in front of them is precisely the trigger point of the magic circle.
Any being who forcibly tears open the magic shield and enters the square will inevitably be attacked by the magic circle.
But of course Tang Jie would not remind them of these things. He was happy to see these ghosts crippled.
Fortunately, the ghosts are not stupid. After tearing off the light film, a ghost king said: "The space here is limited and boats cannot enter. Let the little ones get down and enter on foot."
But he made up his mind to use those ghost soldiers as cannon fodder.
Groups of ghost soldiers got off the boat, formed a formation, tore off the light film, and walked towards the square.
The neat army of ghost soldiers marched on the purple and blue stone slabs, making a powerful sound of footsteps. But under the stone slab, there were streams of light passing through, flashing strange fluctuations from time to time.
This fluctuation was unknown to the ghosts, but Tang Jie saw it one by one, and in his mind he calculated what kind of formation it was based on the situation.
At the same time, the ghost soldiers' formation had already walked halfway through the square. Seeing that nothing happened, the ghost kings breathed a sigh of relief and finally couldn't hold back anymore and walked in together.
Mo Luo Sheng saw that several notorious ghosts had entered the square and was about to follow him in. However, he saw Tang Jie standing still and asked in surprise: "Lao San, aren't you going in?"
Tang Jie said leisurely: "In a dangerous place, sometimes walking too fast may not be a good thing."
Mo Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, then took back the foot that had just stepped onto the stone slab, and said with a smile: "The third brother is right, in this case, I might as well wait."
Mo Luofeng, the youngest next to him, could no longer hold back and said: "What can a cowardly person do if he is afraid of death?"
As he spoke, he stepped onto the stone slab.
If he did this, Tang Jie would not advise him. Moro Sheng raised his eyebrows, but in the end he said nothing. Even Moro Sha just sneered. The three of them just looked at Moro together. The wind walked into the formation, but no one tried to stop him.
As the army advanced for a while, it seemed that there was no danger, and the ghost soldier formation at the front was already close to the entrance of the mausoleum. Just as Moro Feng was about to feel proud, he suddenly heard a clicking sound.
The ghosts were startled at first, and then they felt the ground shaking, as if something was about to emerge from the ground.
One of the ghost kings who reacted quickly changed his tone and shouted: "No, get back!"
As soon as he moved, he saw that the purple and blue slates below were opened one after another, revealing a large black hole. Some of the ghost soldiers standing on the slates were caught off guard and fell directly into the hole. Only generals and above or those incorporeal ghosts can ignore the stone slab and continue to float in the air, or some ghost soldiers who are lucky enough that the stone slab has not moved can still stay on the ground.
But in the next moment, a large fire exploded from the cavity.
This place is the Yanyang Realm, and the use of flames is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
This flame spurts out. Although it is not a divine fire, its power is far beyond ordinary. The powerful flames swept across all at once, causing all the ghosts to scream shrilly at the same time.
Just a cloud of fire burned a large number of ghost soldiers to death. As for those ghost soldiers who fell into the cave, they were killed without even breathing.
A group of ghosts were instantly turned into blue smoke by the fierce flames. The flames were not exhausted, but became more fierce and swept towards the remaining ghosts and the Ghost King.
"Charge forward!" There are also some outstanding minds among these ghost kings. After being burned by the flames~IndoMTL.com~, they immediately knew that the power of this fire was powerful, so they resisted forcefully, but instead of retreating, they advanced. Go straight to the entrance of the mausoleum.
The rest suddenly understood and rushed towards the mausoleum together. Namoluofeng was not polite and led his ghost generals to sprint towards the mausoleum with all their strength.
The flames rolled like snakes, rolling towards the ghosts one after another. The ghosts also used their own methods to resist the flames. After all, they were also king-level ghosts. Although the flames were fierce, they could not be killed at once. Despite the flames, the ghosts really rushed into the tomb. There are not a few king-level ghosts, and not many general-level ghosts die. Only some ghosts with special strength, insufficient fire resistance or slow speed and slow reaction will eventually be swallowed by fire snakes, but the overall number is not Too much, and it has little impact on the overall situation. It's just a pity that the ghost soldier died.
This time, almost all the ghost soldiers who walked into the square were killed.
As the ghosts entered the mausoleum, the bluestone slabs slowly returned to their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
