Cang Yun continued Su Murong," Eldest Senior Brother is right. This Spirit Longevity Village and this Ghost Cave are too strange. I wonder what kind of malicious ghosts are in this Ghost Cave and what it has to do with this Spirit Longevity Village."”
Ping Jian said," Then let's do as Eldest Senior Brother said. We'll know when we go down and take a look. The ghost just now didn't have much cultivation. I guess the malicious ghosts in this cave aren't powerful either. Let's just go down and kill them."”
Seeing that no one had any objections, Su Murong took the lead and went deep into the cave. At the same time, other than Cang Yun, the remaining six people all activated their sword qi, emitting a weak clear light as a light source. As for the various secrets in the cave, everyone could only guess.
They were less than 100 meters deep when a gust of cold wind blew out, causing them to pause. Su Murong frowned and said,"What a heavy ghost aura."”
"Senior Brother, why do I have a strange feeling in this ghostly qi?" Murong Su asked.”
"Second Senior Sister, is there anything strange?" asked Vermilion Bird.”
Murong Su did not answer and instead looked at Su Murong. Without waiting for Su Murong to speak, Ping Qing said,"Little Junior Sister, Senior Sister probably sensed that there was a sense of righteousness in this ghostly wind.”
" It can't be considered righteous qi," Murong Su said." It's just different from ghost qi." Senior Brother, what do you think?"
"Junior Sister, Third Junior Brother, you're right. It's just that I can't distinguish this aura either." "We can only go deeper before we can make a judgment.”
The few of them discussed for a while and then began to move forward. As they advanced, they discovered that the ghostly qi in the cave was not very strong. It was only when the yin wind blew that they felt the yin qi pressing.
After walking another 200 meters, Zhu Xue's sharp eyes called out,"Senior brother, senior sister, where is the ghost?”
Cang Yun and the others looked carefully and saw a white robe fluttering around the corner. Su Murong and the others immediately unsheathed their bamboo swords and rushed toward the flashing white robes. The white-robed man was indeed that ghost. He thought that he could temporarily avoid the pursuit of these young Taoist priests who had come out halfway by running into this cave. He did not expect these young Taoist priests to chase after him so quickly. The ghost sighed and ran away while holding his head. Cang Yun and the others were chasing after him. Su Murong would occasionally release his sword aura. Unfortunately, there were too many corners in the cave, and he could not hit the ghost.
The cave was dark, and the ghost adapted to the darkness. It ran fast, and Cang Yun and the others were a little slower, so they couldn't find the ghost. At this moment, another gust of cold wind blew past, concealing the ghost's aura. Everyone could only stop.
The Vermilion Bird said angrily," I lost him. That ghost ran really fast. If I catch him, I'll definitely let him taste the ten great tortures."”
"Seventh Junior Sister, when did you learn the Ten Great Tortures?" Cang Yunqi asked. What kind of torture?"
The Vermilion Bird said,"I haven't thought about it yet. But I'll definitely use my sword to slowly poke his body. I'll let the sword qi slowly erode him, just like how Third Senior Brother killed that stupid ghost from the Zhao Manor. I'll make that ghost's soul dissipate and slowly break it."”
Cang Yun swallowed his saliva and said,"Yes, is that so? Junior Sister, you're really kind-hearted."”
The Vermilion Bird smiled brightly and said,"Little brat, why aren't you coming out?"”
In fact, the Vermillion Bird was only happy to be praised by Cang Yun. He didn't expect a mournful scream to come from the darkness,"How did you see it?" A white shadow flashed and ran away. Everyone was stunned. Cang Yun reacted the fastest and shouted,"Chase after him." They drew their swords and chased after him.
After chasing for a short while, the ghost sank into the ground. Su Murong immediately stopped everyone.
"Senior Brother, why did you stop chasing?" Murong Su asked.”
"That ghost's feet aren't solid enough, and his cultivation isn't high enough. He probably doesn't know how to burrow into the ground. If I'm not wrong, it should be a deep pit, so I can't rush in.”Su Murong explained. As he spoke, he lit up a fire, and the cave lit up. Originally, the few of them had a certain degree of night vision in the dark, and with the help of the sword qi, they could barely move forward. Now, they needed to observe the terrain properly, so they could only rely on the open fire.
Su Murong walked into the place where the ghost had disappeared. He used a fire torch to shine on it and found that there was indeed a deep pit under his feet. It was so deep that he could not see the bottom. The others also gathered around. "How can we go down?" Cang Yun asked. Ghosts can float. We haven't learned that before.”
Su Murong waved his hand and shot a sword qi into the pit. The sword qi poured down, and a clear halo seemed to descend from the pit. Until the sword qi disappeared into the darkness, the few of them did not see the ghost's shadow. " There should be another way out of this pit," Su Murong said.
"Senior Brother, should we go down and chase after them or go out and find the rope first?”Murong Su asked.
Su Murong was speechless. It would take too much time to go out and come back. If the ghost took advantage of their departure and escaped midway, it would be a waste of all their previous efforts. They would be worried if they left a few people to guard them. If they did not go out, they would not be able to enter the pit. They had not practiced the sword control technique yet.
"Look, there's a rope ladder here." Zhu Xue called out. Su Murong came back to his senses and saw Zhu Xue squatting by the pit, holding a rope ladder in her hand. The few of them went over and saw that the rope ladder was actually not damaged. It should have been erected by the pit not long ago.
"What kind of person is holding a rope ladder here?”Ping Qing said.
"Could it be that the people of Lingshou Village built this rope ladder here?”Cang Yun asked,"After all, they said they dumped the bodies here."”
" No," Su Murong said." Even if they were to dump the body, they wouldn't dump it in such a deep place. There's no need to set up a rope ladder to dump the body."”
"That Lingshou Village Chief definitely didn't tell the truth. I think we should stop thinking about it. Let's chase after him first."”After saying that, Cang Yun threw over a dozen Divine Fire Talismans down, and flames soared into the sky for a moment.
"This is to prevent that ghost from ambushing us." Cang Yun said and grabbed the ladder and climbed down.
"Fifth Junior Brother is not reckless.”He also climbed down. The rest of them also climbed down the rope ladder.
After crawling for the time it took to brew two cups of tea, Cang Yun finally landed on the ground. He threw out another Fire Talisman to illuminate the bottom of the pit. As Su Murong had guessed, there was still a hole at the bottom of the pit. When Su Murong and the others reached the bottom of the pit, another gust of cold wind blew. It was even stronger than the pit.
Murong Su sniffed and said,"This Yin wind seems to be mixed with purple qi."?”
The few of them sniffed. "I only smell the smell of earth."”
"Cang Yun, you don't have magic power, so you can't feel it. Second Senior Sister is right, this qi seems to be purple qi.”Peace Sword Sect.
"What purple gas?" Cang Yunqi asked.
Su Murong continued," This purple qi should be the qi of the royal family. It could also be the qi of a noble. It's mixed with the cold wind, so I can't tell clearly." Generally speaking, it was impossible for this purple qi to mix with the Yin wind and ghost qi. There are too many strange things in this cave."
As soon as Su Murong finished speaking, Zhu Xue's eyesight was still better. Perhaps that ghost was unlucky to be seen by Zhu Xue. Zhu Xue and the ghost let out a strange cry at the same time and chased after him. The ghost sighed again and again. It was not easy for it to escape the pursuit of a sword qi and more than ten balls of flames in the sky above the bomb shelter, but these young Taoist priests still chased after it. It was really pushing the ghost too much. Unfortunately, it could not defeat these young Taoist priests and could only escape.
The passage at the bottom of the pit was a straight path. Everyone quickened their pace and got closer and closer to the ghost. Gui Jian Cang Yun and the others were getting closer and closer. Helplessly, he increased his speed and suddenly stopped after running for a short distance. He looked back in despair at the seven young Taoist priests chasing after him, as well as the sword qi, yellow paper, stones, and so on that were flying towards him. He let out a miserable cry and exerted force.
Cang Yun and the others saw the ghost retreat and disappear again. All their attacks missed again.
"Chase, don't let that ghost escape again." Cang Yun shouted. Everyone followed him into the place where the ghost disappeared.
Suddenly, the feeling of falling surrounded them. Cang Yun cried out in his heart, but it was too late to react.
Pa ~ Ah ~
Before Cang Yun could react, the few of them had already fallen to the ground. The place where they fell was only one or two meters from the ground. At most, it would cause them some pain. The few of them stood up with their hands on their hips, only to realize that they had fallen into a tunnel. When Su Murong lit up the fire to illuminate the surroundings, he realized that this was not a tunnel. It was clearly the style of a city wall.
"Is this an underground city?" Cang Yun was shocked. The others were also stunned.
"No." Su Murong pointed to the area surrounded by the city wall and said,"I'm not.""Look, the entire city wall is covered in green bricks. This shouldn't be a city, but some kind of building. I just don't know what use it has." Su Murong walked to the other side of the city wall and realized that there was a bottomless abyss below the city wall.
Murong Su looked around." Senior Brother, the purple qi here is much stronger than the outside. However, the ghost qi is also stronger. It seems like all the problems are here."”
Ping Jian took two steps forward and activated his sword Qi. The surroundings lit up. Everyone could see that the green bricks on the city wall were very simple and unadorned. They seemed to have a history of more than a hundred years. However, they were buried deep underground and had not been affected by the wind and frost. Looking further, he couldn't see the end of the city wall. Not far away from them, a cave collapsed, revealing a pitch-black hole. The few of them walked closer to take a look and saw that the collapse did not happen naturally. It had been forcefully broken open by someone using a tool. Cang Yun used a Fire Talisman to illuminate the cave. There was a staircase at the bottom of the cave that led up and down. The broken city wall was probably above one of the stairs in this huge mysterious building.
"I didn't expect this city wall to be hollow. I wonder who broke through this city wall.”Cang Yun asked,"Should we go down?"”
Ping Jian was pleased with himself for discovering this cave, but when he heard Cang Yun's question, he immediately said,"Of course we have to go down. We've already chased him here. We must capture that ghost and then give Seventh Junior Sister ten tortures.”Hearing Ping Jian's words, everyone became restless and wanted to go down immediately. Su Murong felt that it was inappropriate, but he was still a young man, so he did not stop him and jumped down with Ping Jian and Ping Qing.
When Su Murong, who was the last to jump down, the unlucky ghost was once again discovered by Zhu Xue and continued to flee while crying.
Zhu Xue shouted excitedly,"Look at you running, you're going to die under the sword."”
Without waiting to see the terrain clearly, the few of them rushed over again without learning their lesson, vowing to kill that ghost. Only Murong Su didn't forget to turn back to take a look. She only felt that the sky above her was frighteningly dark, but she didn't take it to heart because it would be strange if there was light here.
Besides, the few of them chased the ghost down the stairs. The ghost ran to the end of the stairs. It was a gate, ancient and majestic, with the feeling of a military camp gate. It was also similar to the city gate. It was 50 feet high and 30 feet wide. There was no gate, only a frame. At the top of the gate, there was a stone beast head hanging in the middle. It looked like a tiger and a leopard. A circle of lightning was engraved around the beast head. The beast's head was huge. Even though it was not a living thing, it still gave off a bloody smell.
The ghost had no choice but to pass through the gate. Just as the ghost stepped through the door, the stone beast head's eyes flashed with lightning. The embossed surrounding the beast head suddenly lit up with lightning. More than a dozen bolts struck the ghost at the same time, and the ghost's soul instantly scattered. The power of each lightning bolt was at least ten times that of Cang Yun's Spiritual Lightning Talisman.
