Ye Mo and Phantom Bamboo returned to the outside of the ancient city with the help of the soul incense, just in time for people to get up early to work, and the shops were very busy buying and selling.

Although the snow had not stopped, there were already many people on the streets, and many caravans had already set up their wagons and horses and were ready to leave the city.

The people at the gate of the city shouted and neighed endlessly, and it was very lively to watch.

Ye Mo pressed the excitement in his heart and walked straight towards Yongye Street, and Phantom Bamboo still followed behind him unhurriedly as before.

The two crossed an auxiliary street, bypassed a bluestone archway, and soon came to the vicinity of the City God Temple.

But the environment here is very different from what Nightmare envisioned.

Both sides of the street are full of pine and ancient cypress, and at the end of the road there is only a simple vermilion lacquer gatehouse, but behind it is a courtyard wall of a high gate, and there is no temple hall.

Phantom Zhu followed behind, afraid that he would hesitate, so he secretly urged him with his psychic technique, telling him not to hesitate, otherwise it might arouse the suspicion of the surrounding dark posts.

Ye Yu guessed that there must be a secret hidden in it, and walked quickly to the gatehouse, and saw a plaque hanging on the two beams and pillars.

The upper couplet reads: "Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers from the foam"

The next link is: "The stars, the sun and the moon are stopped"

I couldn't help but feel that my heart was slightly moving, and I felt that this couplet was mysterious, and I stepped into the door and suddenly came to a mountain road.

I saw that the sky was changing from day to night, the stars were shining overhead, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was a mullion gate every few steps in front of it, and there were lanterns hanging between the doors, which were emitting a yellow halo outward, illuminating a road that winded to the top of the mountain.

Phantom Bamboo then arrived, saw the night drunk who was still in a trance, and urged: "We may be targeted, talk as we walk"

Ye Mo nodded, and the two walked side by side, through a large mullioned door, and walked briskly towards the top of the mountain together.

Under the cover of night, their figures quickly disappeared at the turn of the road.

"To enter the Zhenling Pavilion incense, you need to pass three levels, the difficulty varies from person to person, the first level to worship the spirit god, tell the reason for acting, get the spirit card, generally easier, the second level to pass through a long corridor, ordinary people have to walk at least 100 steps, almost 40 breaths of time, but there are eighty-eight forbidden spell masters in the corridor to guard, you can check the flow of passers-by and gods, the mind fluctuates, a person's breath has 1,200 thoughts, a thought and 84,000 troubles, if you don't understand the method, completely get rid of the distracting thoughts in your heart, it is difficult to pass, once you are found to have a non-part of your thoughts, They will activate the God Destroying Array, burn the gods and purify the spirits, and the third level is the Zhenling Palace, there is a town hall beast at the entrance, no matter what you want to do in the temple, you have to hold the Nine Elements Talisman to pass, and the trespass will become the thing in its belly."

Phantom Bamboo whispered the mechanism in this City God Temple.

Ye Mo nodded, and quickened his pace.

Phantom Zhu glanced at him, and when he saw that the young man's face was as usual, he suddenly narrowed his beautiful eyes: "Do you know all this?" ”

The corners of Yeyu's mouth hooked slightly, looking at the top of the mountain that was getting closer and closer: "There are so many people in the Nine Elements, it's not very difficult to inquire about this matter."

Phantom Bamboo's body froze: "Is it Feng Tielu?" Breeze? Or did the peach soul you raise tell you? ”

"There's no point in talking about this now, we can still make a deal, but the content needs to be changed"

"Change what?"

Ye Yan suddenly turned his head to look at the girl in black: "I guess you should have sold me once when you traded with Fan Yan, right?" ”

Phantom Bamboo frowned, silent.

Ye Yan smiled slightly, and said again: "You see that neither Fan Yan nor I can completely trust anyone, so I used this to persuade him and agree to trade with you, but Fan Yan is not a fool, it is impossible to fully believe you, so your trading conditions must be very harsh, I think even if he is lustful, at most he can only give you one True Spirit Pill, and the other two must be fake."

"The reason why you think he will believe you is nothing more than that you took risks for those three life-saving coins, and the blind spot that I have never seen a real Zhenling Pill makes Fan Yan mistakenly think that the reason why you helped him is actually using him in exchange for his own life, so that he will feel that your motives are credible"

"And you must have promised him to help him get back the gold beads, and then exchange the other two real Zhenling Pills with him, and then come to me to blackmail me into handing over your hanging money, so as to kill two birds with one stone, but you didn't expect Fan Yan to believe you at all, so he made a scene just now, which made me see your purpose."

"You just want to cheat back a True Vibration Spirit Pill, and then use the two levels here to blackmail me into handing over your remaining two life money, and finally leave me here, and you go away alone, I should be right?"

Hearing such an analysis, Phantom Bamboo's face suddenly turned a little pale.

She didn't expect that Ye Mo would be able to deduce all her plans exactly based on what she had just done, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

The jealousy hidden in her heart couldn't help but increase a few points.

She had some suspicions that her previous judgment was wrong, even if Ye Yu was the son of the former Chenxu Saint Tu Shan Qingyu, he should not have such a city at such an age.

"Say your terms"

"It's very simple, if you give me the mirage hidden on your body, I'll give you the second hanging money"

"Fair, but wait until we get back to Middle-earth"

Ye Yu smiled: "What, I'm afraid that I'll be bad?" ”

Phantom Bamboo sneered: "Let's do it to each other"

……

The two of them had reached the top of the mountain while they were talking.

Ye Mo saw that there was a vacant space in front of him, shrouded in a bright silver glow, the shadows of the trees covered the sky all around, there was a magnificent temple in the middle, the bucket arches were interspersed, the red lacquer gold pillars looked very solemn and sacred, the eaves of the temple hung three rows of white paper lanterns on all sides, the whole ancient building was reflected in the gloomy atmosphere, like a mourning hall, and could not help but raise vigilance.

Phantom Bamboo took the lead in entering the Weiling Palace, prayed two sentences in front of a golden armor statue, and put three crescent coins into the merit box, took off a one-foot-long, three-inch-wide jade spirit tablet on the offering, and turned around to go around the back of the hall.

Ye watched her actions be no different from what Chen Blind said, and did so according to the law, and also successfully got a spirit card, and found that there was a picture of him hidden in the card, which was very magical.

It is said that in addition to the function of recovering the soul, if it is used with the reinvigorating spell, no matter where you are, you can instantly return to Taiping City, and there is also a function similar to the peach charm to save your life.

The thin boy successfully passed the first level and came to the back of the hall, but the phantom bamboo was nowhere to be seen.

He found that there was still a mountain road ahead, but there was no more mullion gate, and the mountain fog on both sides was rolling, and the atmosphere was even more treacherous than before, as if there was a man-devouring beast hidden in it, which could break through the fog at any time.

Before he could take a few steps forward, he could barely see his five fingers, and he could only vaguely see a dark dusk light at the end of the road, like the entrance of a cave.

Although he felt a little hairy in his heart, he had to face this level alone, even if there was a phantom bamboo to take the lead, it was useless.

When he got closer, he could roughly tell by the faint starlight above his head that it was a long corridor built on a ridge, with cliffs on both sides, and there was no bottom in the dark.

The night was dark and adjusted his breathing, silently returned to the light through the moon, completely entered the state of his heart like water, and strode into it.

The lights in the corridor are dim, there is a row of pillars on the left and right sides, there is a shrine between every two roots, and the people sitting in it are all dressed in white, wearing white hats, and covering the curtain with the word "forbidden" on their faces, just like a statue of a statue of wood carving clay sculpture motionless, lifeless.

The entire deep corridor was so silent that only his own breathing could be heard.

Night's throat twitched, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.

He had seen these people once before in the Kushui Temple, and at that time he thought they were very strange, but now he peeked at them for a while, only to realize that these people were all corpses with talismans, not living people.

Ye Mo tried his best to make his steps appear steady and firm, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and walked to the middle of the corridor slowly, but suddenly saw the "forbidden" character on the face of a forbidden spell master flashed, and instantly woke up all the corpses in the hall, and let out a burst of chanting sounds like a swarm of bees flapping their wings.

Hearing these voices, the young man's heart lake, which was as quiet as water, rippled in an instant, and he couldn't help but think of many fragments of life in the ancient city, and felt that his thoughts were about to fly out of his body uncontrollably.

Seeing that things were not good, Ye Yan couldn't take care of a lot, and was busy repeating the golden inscription of the Dao Protector over and over again, and constantly contained all the flashes in his mind.

The forbidden spell masters who sat on either side of him, their hands sealed, chanting incantations, suddenly stopped, and their heads began to shake like puppets, falling into some kind of sluggish hesitation, and the incantations were intermittent.

Seeing this, Ye Yu hurriedly ran out of the Spell Spirit Hall, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard a loud noise behind him, and was knocked out of the hall by a wave of air, and when he looked back, he saw that the hall was full of light, and there were still half-foot-high flames on the ground, but no one chased him out, Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this corridor was only a few dozen steps, it made him almost exhaust the qi storage in his body, and the red sun derived from the Buddha lamp in the sea of qi had shrunk like a projectile, and his realm plummeted.

Originally, he had been forbearing, and he didn't show his realm in the face of such a dangerous situation as Fan Yan, just to save all his strength to the end, in case he encountered any more accidents and Phantom Bamboo suddenly attacked, but he didn't expect to escape this catastrophe with this.

……

After passing the second pass, Ye Yu came to the top of another mountain.

I saw that the front corridor is surrounded by water, the lights are colorful, and the eyes are full of jade trees and flowers, which is very much like the back garden of a dignitary's mansion, but a closer look finds that those flowers and trees are all crystal trees in the coral forest, and there is an attic shaped like a pagoda in the middle of the garden, and there is a plaque hanging on it, which reads the word "Zhenling", which is exactly the place he is looking for.

Ye Mo still didn't see the figure of the phantom bamboo, so he carefully bypassed the crystal tree and walked towards the attic, and he could already hear the snoring of the Zhenshan beast like thunder.

Actually, Phantom Bamboo also told a lie just now, but Ye Yu didn't expose it.

According to what Blind Chen said, the divine beast in this Zhenling Pavilion is a Pixiu, and it likes to hunt for curiosity and hoard gold the most, even if there is no token, it is not difficult to deal with.

Ye Yu quietly pushed the door and walked into the attic, and sure enough, he saw a giant beast with a body like a leopard, a head and tail like a dragon, and a white beard lying on the ground sleeping, its scarlet tongue hanging outside, looking a little scary, and there was a jade step in front of it, which was full of all kinds of rare treasures.

The young man didn't dare to sneak away, but took out a red fruit picked from the Buddha country from the bamboo basket and put it on the jade steps, and then tiptoed to the back of the hall.

Just as his figure disappeared, a forbidden spell master quietly flashed out from the door of the building, and it turned out to be the phantom bamboo that had disappeared earlier.

I saw that she was wearing a black hat and a white hat, with a sneer on her pretty face, she walked quickly to the hall and walked towards the back hall with a swagger.

At this time, Pixiu in the hall suddenly yawned, opened his dark green eyes, glanced at her obliquely, and slowly closed his eyes, but as if he was touched by something, he suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the red fruit that Ye Yu had put down before, and there was a sense of novelty.

With a snort, Pixiu's red tongue rolled, threw the red fruit into his mouth, and gently bit it with his teeth, a stream of red juice flowed down his tongue into his throat, and then his eyes gradually widened, his face appeared a lot of scarlet lines, and steam like blood mist began to emerge from his back.

When Phantom Bamboo was about to reach the staircase at the back of the hall, he was suddenly swept back by the wind brought up by Pixiu's tail.

The girl in black was shocked, and then looked at the divine beast in front of her, only to see that its entire beast face was extremely hideous, its eyes had turned scarlet, and it was staring at her coldly, and its front body was low, ready to pounce.

Phantom Bamboo felt bad in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about what Ye Yu fed this divine beast, whether it was intentional or not, so he could only go all out to deal with the things in front of him.

She didn't want this opportunity to slip away from the years she had been waiting for.

As soon as he came to the second floor, he saw this shocking scene through the pane of the corridor.

I just saw that a forbidden spell master actually fought with the divine beast Pixiu.

Looking at the man's face again, he immediately understood the reason for the sudden change in the corridor just now.

The young man sneered secretly, hurried to the top floor, crossed the staircase, and changed the scene again, entering a dimly lit temple.

……

Almost everything in this hall is cast in bronze, down to the floor tiles of the steps, and up to the rafter, all of them have grown green moss, and everywhere exudes a faint green glow.

On the innermost side of the main hall is a shrine with a huge bronze coffin and several layers of lanterns stacked on top of each other.

On the left and right sides are all stepped copper shelves, on which countless spirit tablets are placed.

Ye Yan couldn't be patient and excited, but simply glanced at the furnishings in the main hall, and immediately looked for it among the many spirit cards.

According to what Chen Blind said, as long as the soul incense in front of the spirit tablet has not been burned, the latecomer can renew the incense in the incense burner and then go to the place where the former went.

At this time, the person he was looking for was the young owner of the Taiping Building, "Yunlang", who had met before coming to the ancient city.

After just a few breaths, Ye Yu found Yunlang's spirit card, and saw that there was still half of the soul incense left in the incense burner, so he immediately took out a whole incense, and the incense head blew on the incense head, ignited the incense, and inserted it into the incense burner, put his spirit card on it, and then took out a spirit pill and put it in his mouth, and silently recited the soul mantra.

In an instant, the young man felt a clear spring enter his throat, instantly seeping into his five internal organs, and his body felt light, and all his consciousness and feelings melted into the fragrant mist rising in front of him, floating towards the sky.

After a while, half of the phantom bamboo was stained with blood, and he stumbled into the hall, but there was no trace of the night, and his expression suddenly became a little panicked.

She quickly looked around, and found that there was a half-bitten bun on a copper rack, and found the night spirit card, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the spirit card of Yunlang behind the incense burner, her breathing was stagnant.

However, she only hesitated for a moment, then refilled the incense and took the medicine, and followed the night away.

After another half of the tea time, the hall was silent.

A puff of smoke suddenly rushed into the hall, and in an instant, two figures condensed, one was the hidden gold crow in the eight major places, and the other was the breeze that looked like a scholar.

The faces of the two of them were ugly, especially when they found the blood stains of the phantom bamboo and found the spirit card of Yunlang, it was like eating a bitter melon.
