Chapter 881: Journey to the Ghost Realm (3) See the Old Man
A moment later, with a few crackling sounds, the mountain wall actually collapsed with a bang, stirring up countless stone chips.
These ghost cultivators are ghost bodies, and they were originally not afraid of such entity attacks, but the punch that Zhao Di threw casually showed was too domineering, and under the divine power, even the ghost body could not withstand it.
The little ghosts were shocked, looked at each other, and finally changed into a humanoid ghost cultivator who was armed with a yaksha, a sword, and other spiritual weapons.
Some of these ghost cultivators are the same as human form, while others have long tongues and bloody eyes, pointed ears and horns, and look extremely hideous.
Zhao Di's divine sense swept over these ghost cultivators, and he judged the cultivation of these more than ten ghost cultivators.
The strongest old man's ghost cultivation has just condensed the ghost baby, and the rest of the little ghosts are all equivalent to the cultivation of the Dan period.
The old man bowed to Zhao Di and the others, and said, "The juniors will see the seniors." This is the forbidden place of the clan's Yang Pool, the predecessors suddenly came, and our cultivation was low, and I really didn't know how to receive it. Please wait for a moment, the senior in charge of this clan will come in a moment. ”
"Okay, it turns out that you Qiang Qian deliberately pretended to delay time! Hmph, his heart can be punished!" Ruo Yi sneered.
"Don't dare, beg your seniors to spare your life!" the old man was shocked, hurriedly begged for mercy, and almost knelt down.
"Where is the sacred, can actually descend to the ghost realm!" At this time, a woman's voice came from a distance, and immediately, a black gas rolled up, revealing several graceful women in white clothes.
The woman in the middle was masked with a white veil, phoenix eyes and light eyebrows, and her hair was in a bun, dressed like a noblewoman. Beside this noble lady, there are four young women in a cluster, judging from the facial features alone, each of them is a natural beauty, but the complexion is extremely white and bloodless, giving people an indescribable eerie and weird feeling, even ordinary people without mana can see that these women are different from ordinary humans.
"See Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess!" In this cave, the human forms of various small and ghostly people immediately bowed to the noble lady one after another, and their expressions were extremely respectful.
Zhao Di's eyes shrank, and he looked the young woman up and down, and found that the other party was probably just refining the void period of cultivation.
Although the ghost cultivation is very different, but there is also the power of the yin soul to measure, Zhao Di is not very familiar with the high-level ghost cultivation, so he can only roughly half-determine the cultivation of this woman, and cannot accurately grasp the specific subtle realm of this woman.
The ghost cultivation of the refining period was not enough to threaten Zhao Di, so Zhao Di did not stay long, and naturally set his eyes on the few maids beside him.
Suddenly, Zhao Di's face changed, and he stared at one of the girls with a half-inch long light red mark on the center of his eyebrows in surprise.
And this girl, after seeing Zhao Di and the others, was even more shocked, and her face was full of incredible shock.
Cultivators, under normal circumstances, are not happy and angry, but when some too unexpected situations occur, it is inevitable that there will be some manifestations, Zhao Di and this girl's abnormality, although it recovered in a moment, but it was naturally seen by Ruo Yi and others.
"What, could it be that Zhao Daoyou also has acquaintances in the ghost world?" Ruo Yi was a little inexplicable, and teased Zhao Di, and at the same time let go of his thoughts, looked at these girls, and naturally paid more attention to the girl with marks on his eyebrows.
He also knows Zhao Di quite well, and knows that Zhao Di is not a person who is greedy for beauty, and his strange behavior now is certainly not confused by this girl's appearance, most likely for another reason.
Although the noble lady couldn't see the depth of Zhao Di and the others, when she looked at it with her divine thoughts, she was unceremoniously forced back by the spiritual power on the surface of the other party's body. This is exactly the typical result of a low-level monk probing a high-level monk, except for knowing that the other party's cultivation is unfathomable, the noble lady finds nothing.
On the contrary, she herself was successively swept by two extremely powerful divine senses, one seemed to be soft but powerless to resist, and the other was domineering and abnormal, penetrating the body, but both were powerful and irresistible, making a chill swell in the noble lady's heart.
Obviously, these two outsiders have extremely high cultivation levels, and her current cultivation cannot be compared to them at all.
"It turned out to be two seniors! The juniors are the Seven Holy Maidens Youquan of the Extreme Secluded Temple, see the two seniors! Where the juniors are not thoughtful, please also ask the seniors to include a large amount!" Several women around her also visited with the noble lady.
"The two of us came to the Ghost Realm by accident, and we are not familiar with this place. Please also ask Her Highness the Holy Maiden for some advice. Zhao Di said with a slight smile.
"This is natural. The two seniors must have come from afar in the spirit world, and they can be described as distinguished guests who have not met in ten thousand years, and the main hall must be well entertained. ”
"In this way, if the seniors don't dislike it, they will live in the extremely secluded hall first, and after the two seniors have rested for a while, the lord of the main hall will personally arrange a feast to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two seniors. "The noble lady is not only polite and thoughtful, but also very polite and exquisite in her words, like a lady of the family, it is really difficult to connect with those evil spirits.
"That's fine!" Zhao Di and Ruo Yi glanced at each other, then nodded and agreed to the noblewoman's arrangement.
Under the guidance of the noble lady, Zhao Di and Ruo Yi left the Huanyangchi Valley and came to a gloomy mountain.
The rotting surface, the inky rivers, the dim space, except for the occasional volcano spewing out a bloody molten flame, was gray and black everywhere. As for the temperature, it is also very weird, suddenly it is cold to the bone, and suddenly it is unbearable hot, and it only has the body of a ghost, which is not affected by it.
On the surface, bottomless abysses can be seen everywhere, and streams of essence yin qi are evaporating from the steam. In this environment, Zhao Di has an indescribable depression, and it is difficult to mobilize mana freely.
On the rock walls on both sides of the mountains, there are many blood-colored crows and magpies with dark red bodies hanging upside down, exuding this faint black gas all over their bodies, some are playing on the mountain wall, some are swallowing yin qi, and the noisy and piercing ghost magpie cries set off the dead silence here, making this mountain peak look particularly weird.
With the appearance of the noble lady, these ghost magpies immediately stopped abruptly and hung neatly on the rock wall motionless.
The lady took out a quiet piccolo and played it softly.
The flute sound is sharp, not a beautiful rhythm, but compared to those ghost screams, it is like a fairy sound in the ear.
In the sound of the flute, those blood crows flew up from the rock wall one after another, spread their wings and intertwined, and actually formed a bridge of blood crows more than 100 zhang wide in mid-air, stretching into the distance.
"This is the magpie bridge formed by the domesticated blood magpie in the main hall, and it has always been treated as a magpie bridge only when the most distinguished guests of the main hall come. Two seniors, please!" the lady smiled slightly, saluted Zhao Di and the others, and took the lead in stepping on the magpie bridge.
Zhao Di glanced at these low-level dark birds, jumped lightly with Ruoyi, and also flew to the magpie bridge.
The magpie bridge formed by the weeping blood magpie took Zhao Di and the others and slowly flew forward. Along the way, many lonely souls and wild ghosts with very low intelligence haunted everywhere, and before they could come into contact with Zhao Di and others, they were torn apart by these sparrows and swallowed into their stomachs.
Occasionally, several huge ghost claws suddenly stretched out from the pitch-black abyss on the ground, grabbed one or two sparrows, dragged them into the abyss, and then there was no follow-up.
Zhao Di looked at these curiously, but the noble lady and other ghost cultivators turned a blind eye to this, probably all this was very common, and the loss of a few dark magpies didn't matter, so there was no need to make a move.
Not long after, Queqiao carried the noble lady and Zhao Di and others to a somewhat dilapidated but still magnificent palace complex. It's just that these palace buildings are shrouded in a layer of black gas, and in Zhao Di's opinion, they are very strange and gloomy, and at a glance, you can see that they are not good places.
"Please also ask the two seniors to stay and rest in the welcome hall for the time being, if there are poor facilities and poor etiquette, please forgive the two seniors. The lady said generously, and then instructed several maids beside her: "Bai Xin, Bai Ming, you two good students serve the two seniors, don't slack off!"
"Yes, princess!" the two girls agreed respectfully, and the maid named Bai Ming was the girl with a light red mark on the center of her eyebrows.
Of course, this noble lady can also see that this girl is quite related to Zhao Di, but at this time, she is very generous and deliberately leaves this girl, obviously with the intention of flattering.
"If the two seniors have any orders, just inform Bai Xin and Bai Ming's two daughters, and the juniors will also inform the hall master of the two seniors, and then they will leave. After the lady finished speaking, she gave a salute to Zhao Di and Ruo Yi respectively, and then stepped on the magpie bridge and flew into the distance.
Outside the palace, after Zhao Di and Ruo Yi saw the noble lady leave, they looked at the two maids and other low-level guards and imps left here with great meaning.
"It turned out to be Bai Ming's Daoyou! Zhao has known Daoyou for more than a thousand years, and today I have to know the name of my friend!" Zhao Di smiled slightly, and said to Bai Ming's daughter.
"Don't dare! The senior is the guest of honor in the Extreme Shadow Palace, how dare the slave and maid be commensurate with the seniors as Taoist friends!" The girl hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, although she called herself a slave in her mouth, but there was still a bit of disbelief in her tone.
Seeing that there was no malice in Zhao Di's smile, the girl became a little bolder, and couldn't help but say, "Forgive the slave and the maid the courage to ask, is the senior already a monk in the merger stage now?"
The seventh princess is already the ghost king of the refining period, and still calls Zhao Di a senior, and most of that Zhao Di is already in the merger period, although this reason is simple, but the girl still feels incredible, and must confirm it in person.
Zhao Di nodded with a smile and did not deny it.
The girl in front of her is none other than the master of the Xuanyin Cave in the human world, the ghost cultivator who calls herself the Xuanyin Ghost Mother, and now she is unexpectedly reunited, some grievances in the past, and the scenes can't help but appear in Zhao Di's mind again.
