I held the compass in my hand tightly and stuffed the Bone and Blood Blade and the wooden box containing the Lu Ban Book back into my pocket. I said to Li Xiangling," I'm going to find Zi Yan. Her fate is tied to mine. I can't ignore her."”
Li Xiangling was stunned for a moment. No one knew what she was thinking. She asked," Su Li, where are you going to find her? I'll go with you!"
She was very sincere, but I couldn't agree to it because no one could predict the situation there. I couldn't take Xiangling to take the risk. Besides, she still has her own matters to deal with. She doesn't need to be tied to my life and death. It's just that I can't say these words out loud.
I asked Li Changtian to get a bowl of water outside and then told him a few things. After all, I had never left him and Li Xiangling alone, but I couldn't do it this time.
"Alright, you guys go ahead. Call me if you need anything.”I pretended to be relaxed and sent them away.
Li Xiangling didn't get the answer she wanted, but from my attitude and language, she should be able to sense that this time, we didn't know when we would meet again, and she didn't know if we would meet again. However, she didn't continue asking because she knew that I wouldn't reveal it.
"Changtian, you are a man, you have to take good care of Xiangling!”In the end, I didn't forget to remind him.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Su Li." Li Changtian answered firmly.
Li Xiangling left. She looked back reluctantly. From her trembling back, I knew that she was crying again. This little Daoist nun is indeed too fragile. Although she didn't say much, she should understand the danger of my trip. But isn't this what makes her cute?
I was the only one left in the empty villa. I needed to wait until midnight to activate this compass. It was dangerous for me. Opening the compass was like opening the gate to hell. The little ghosts could come out at any time. They didn't harm Li Changtian because he was the gatekeeper and had to live. But it was different for me. They didn't need to show mercy to me.
The sky gradually darkened. At night, the burnt villa could no longer be lit. The house was dark and messy.
I sat on the broken ground and silently recalled what happened when I came to H City. Zi Yan's guidance, meeting Xiang Ling, and getting to know Chang Tian because of the investigation of the opening of the Ghost Gate. All of this seemed to be on a fixed track.
Second Uncle is no longer around, but I have practiced the Lu Ban Book. It seems to be the same as the path my father took back then. Now that I was experiencing pain, I had no choice but to continue searching. In the midst of it, I had entered a huge vortex. I didn't want to care about so many troublesome matters, but Lu Banshu's existence made me the target of public criticism. What should I do?
"Now, other than Zi Yan, it seems that I have no one to rely on. However, she just appeared and disappeared. Therefore, I have to find her at all costs, whether it's for my own body, for Zi Yan's resurrection, or for Second Uncle's instructions.
I took out Lu Ban's book and casually looked at it. Those incantations seemed to be desperately drilling into my mind, but I didn't have enough time to pay attention to them. Right now, I only wanted to find Zi Yan's whereabouts.
As night fell, it was already before midnight, and it was the time when the Yin Qi was at its peak. It was the right time!
I poured the bowl of water on the compass and waited quietly. According to Li Changtian's words, the compass should be soaked in water and placed in an empty space. I closed my eyes and didn't look at the time. In short, I could feel the chill in the ground. I knew that what should come would come.
It was similar to the feeling of entering the Underworld. The gates to hell opened at the right time. The faint green light stimulated my eyes, but I still ignored it. I was only prepared to chant the Golden Light Spell to protect myself. It was only effective for three minutes, so I couldn't bear to use it too early.
Gradually, the green light became brighter and brighter. It was very difficult for me to open my eyes even if I wanted to. My entire body seemed to be enveloped in it. After a while, I felt like I was floating in the air. I lost my sense of gravity. Then, it was as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. With the help of the powerful gravitational acceleration, he fell deeply, and the green light in front of him dissipated.
Everything turned dark. I opened my eyes and faced the darkness in front of me. I knew that I had probably already entered the gates of hell. This was a place where little ghosts came and went between the Yin and Yang worlds. It was obviously inappropriate for a living person like me to come in, so the first thing I had to guard against was the attacks of the evil ghosts.
Be prepared to defend at any time. I had already roughly read through the second volume of the Book of Luban last night. Although I didn't completely remember it, I was at least familiar with the incantations I had used in the past. With the Bone Blood Saber, it was at least somewhat useful. I just didn't know what would happen down there.
It was different from what I had expected from the Gate of Hell. There were no ghosts wandering around or attacking in groups. To be precise, this place was abnormally quiet. It was so quiet that it made people panic. They were afraid that there was an ambush or a trap. At least, I didn't see a single ghost. It was just a dark road. There were some faint lights in front of me. I could barely see a passage.
The sense of weightlessness from before was gone. I stood up and realized that I wasn't injured anywhere. At most, my butt hurt a little, but it was still within the range of tolerance. Other than that, I was only left with the cold.
I silently walked forward. I didn't know what was in front of me, but I had a feeling in my heart that this place wasn't very far from where Zi Yan was because there was a subtle stimulation in my heart. It was as if she had stayed in my body for a long time and a sixth sense had suddenly risen. The feeling of her being nearby was completely different from when I was in the villa just now. Therefore, I would rather believe in the result that I hoped for and hope that I would be able to see her soon.
About five minutes later, the dark tunnel ahead was much brighter. They reached the end and arrived at a spacious square. Of course, the top was still hard rock, so they couldn't see the sky here.
In front of the square, there was a large house with lights. It was only one story, but the height was not bad. It also seemed to be relatively spacious.
The house is the brightest place in the vicinity. I don't know why I came here after leaving the gates of hell. Could it be that Zi Yan is nearby?
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind attacked me. It was extremely faint, but I could still clearly feel it. It was right behind me on my left. It was very fast, but its strength was not enough. I didn't take out the Blood Bone Blade. My body flashed and I dodged it.
The figure passed through and arrived in front of me. Only then did I see that it was a doll-like little ghost. If it was a human, it would be at most eight or nine years old. It was a boy. In addition, he looks very delicate and doesn't look like an evil ghost at all. The threat of attacking me isn't great.
The little brat stared at me and then pounced at me with a sword in his hand. I dodged again without retaliating. I could still deal with such a small child, but I couldn't casually make enemies without knowing his identity.
The little devil repeatedly tried but failed. He panicked and directly threw the sword at my body. I dodged sideways. I dodged, but the extent was a little too big. My upper body tilted down and with a clang, I accidentally dropped the Blood Bone Sword to the ground.
I immediately picked it up and didn't put it back into my pocket. Instead, I held it in my hand as a weapon. This little brat's endless attacks made me want to counterattack.
However, when he saw the Blood Bone Saber in my hand, the little devil's expression instantly changed. He was no longer so serious, but was as cute as a child. He put away his sword apologetically and asked politely," Is this saber yours?"”
"Nonsense, of course it's mine. Didn't you see that it fell out of my pocket?”I asked him in a bad mood.
"This, this, I'm sorry. May I ask if you're Su Li?”As he spoke, the little devil bounced towards me and repeatedly apologized to me.
There's actually a ghost who knows me?
Looking at him, I was worried and unconsciously took a few steps back, afraid that he was hiding a knife behind his smile and making a sudden attack. It was better to be more careful in this place.
The little devil saw that I was still very wary, so he simply knelt down on one knee and begged for mercy. He said that he didn't know my identity and didn't mean to offend me.
This made me feel embarrassed. I asked him to stand up and asked him how he recognized my identity.
"It's that Bone Blood Saber. Granny said that Sister Zi Yan's soul is inside. Then you must be Brother Su Li!”
Granny? Sister Zi Yan?
I was confused when I heard this. Why was it related to Zi Yan again? Could it be that they knew Zi Yan?
The little devil made a strange gesture, indicating that he was too young to explain things clearly. These were all taught by his grandmother. In addition, he said that he would bring me into the big house because his grandmother was waiting for me inside.
I was very curious and wanted to see that strange granny, so I convinced myself to follow him in.
After entering, I realized that the room looked like it was only one story from the outside. In fact, that was only what it looked like on the surface. It was very spacious inside, but there were stairs. There were dozens of stairs leading to the underground. There was a huge sign on the ground, hanging horizontally on the door beam. With the help of the underground torch, I saw the words "Ghost Gate Prison" written on it.
This is actually a prison. Why did the little brat bring me to a prison?
Logically speaking, a prison is a place to imprison bad people, so this place is also a place to imprison bad ghosts. I don't know what the laws of the ghost realm are like. However, this prison was very strange. It seemed to be quite large, but it was empty. As I walked inside, the cells on both sides were empty. It was only when I reached the end that I opened a small door and saw the only ghost in this prison that was being detained.
She was the old granny that the little brat had mentioned.
"Granny, this is Su Li. He's here!”The little devil introduced me to him.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:24PM
