Chapter 67: The Square
The living return to the human realm, and the dead to the underworld, this is the only law of 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 recovered by the underworld. There are very few people who can really stay in the 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, so as to resist the call of the underworld, which is the way of ghosts.
But this is not the case with the mausoleum on the island in front of you.
The owner of the mausoleum is a human emperor who died in 3,200 years, and has also created a legendary experience in the world, has a prominent life, a glorious past, and is buried here after his death.
It's just that no one ever knew that after the death of this emperor, his soul did not enter the underworld.
However, what the world does not know does not mean that the underworld does not know.
The underworld attracts ghosts and has its own set of rules. Whenever a life dies and the soul is separated from the ghost, Deadpool, impermanence, etc., who is in charge of the service, will sense it and lead the ghost into the realm. If there is such a large-scale death, there will even be the Hades Emperor himself to take over.
This king was in the Ninth Five-Year Plan during his lifetime, and he was himself a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Heart, and when he touched life and death after death, the underworld could clearly feel the death of his life and the birth of ghosts.
But strangely, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get to the ghost.
If the Ghost Dao Sect intercepted this ghost, then it would be fine, and it would not be a big deal for the underworld. The problem is that all indications indicate that there is no ghost sect to intercept this ghost.
Therefore, this ghost has been in the world for thousands of years, and it has become a difficult and mysterious case.
If it's just an unsolved case, most of the ghosts won't be interested in a missing ghost. Oni are not human, and they don't have that much curiosity.
But this invasion of the underworld has changed all that.
By chance, a ghost king discovered this tomb and sensed a powerful power from it. What amazed it the most was that, according to Deadpool's discovery, the owner of the tomb was the emperor who should have been in the underworld but never entered.
So the ghost king went into the tomb and looked at it.
For ghosts, going to the grave is like going home, and there should be no danger at all.
But once it went, it never looked back.
After that, the ghost ship dissolved itself, the hundred ghosts dispersed, and the news gradually spread, and finally some ghost kings realized that this place was weird, and they came here to see what was going on, but if anyone went, they never looked back.
But this danger did not frighten the ghosts, but made them even more crazy, attracting more powerful ghosts.
In a dangerous place, there must be strange 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 have received the news naturally gather.
Just as human cultivators will search for secrets and treasures, this is actually an adventure from the underworld.
The ghosts gathered at this moment are gathering strength, and when they think that their strength is enough, they will attack this mausoleum.
Knowing this, Tang Zheng also understood why Mo Luo Sheng attracted himself, and he still wanted to unite the power of the Mo Luo family and strive to gain more benefits in this expedition.
Sure enough, Moro Sheng said, "Now that you have understood, how about you?"
Tang Zai smiled: "Since you have come, how can there be any reason to leave." ”
Mo Luosheng clapped his hands and laughed: "I know you won't refuse." ”
It has already led Tang Zheng into the team.
After waiting for nearly a day, more than 30 ghost ships approached in this day, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost ships were approaching sixty.
Seeing this situation, Tang Zheng couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, if he could take advantage of the danger in this mausoleum to wipe out all the ghosts, it would be tantamount to solving a big force for mankind.
Thinking of this, I have made up my mind that I will secretly sabotage the exploration journey of these ghosts.
Seeing that there were enough ghost ships coming, finally a ghost king couldn't hold back his temperament and shouted to enter.
This is the most powerful expedition team so far, with more than 60 ghost ship masters, plus the generals on board, there are more than one hundred and fifty king-level ghosts alone, and the number of generals is more than 1,000. In the face of such a vast force, even if the Emperor of Hades is in person, he must avoid a few points.
It is for this reason that all the demons are so bold that they are shouting to go to the tomb.
The leading ghost kings probably felt that it was almost the same, so they didn't wait any longer. One after another went to the island.
Dozens of ghost boats carried all the ghosts into the mighty battle, Tang Zheng didn't take a hundred ghosts to travel at night, so he simply sat on Mo Luosheng's boat and followed the troops forward. Moro didn't say anything, for he was better controlled.
After walking for a while, I saw a huge mausoleum standing in the distance.
In front of the mausoleum is a large square, the ground is paved with cut complete lazurite, smooth and neat, even after the changes of the years, it is still as bright as new. There are also pavilions built every 100 zhang for resting.
Although it is a mausoleum built for more than 1,000 years, it is still intact, and the power of the formation can be faintly felt, so that the spring and autumn here will not invade, the frost and snow will not be stained, and the flies and insects will not fall.
Before coming to the square, the ghost ships automatically stopped, and there was a force of their own that prevented them from approaching.
The ghost kings disembarked one after another, and one of them tapped his hand on the empty space above the stone slab, and saw a rippling ripple escaping around the place where it fell.
"It's a magic cover, it doesn't look very strong, it is used to avoid birds and beasts, and to remove dust and stop wind. The ghost king said and tore it hard, and really tore some of the film-like light mask.
Seeing this, the corners of Tang Zai's mouth moved slightly, revealing a look of disdain.
Although these ghosts are strong and their minds are not stupid, they live in the underworld, and there are many things in the human world, but they are too complicated for them, especially the way of the formation mechanism that is famous for consuming resources and is extremely rare in the underworld. Because of this, they had no idea that they were facing a powerful magic circle, and the magic shield in front of them was precisely the trigger point of the magic circle.
Any existence that forcibly tears open the magic shield and enters the square will inevitably be attacked by the magic circle.
However, Tang Zheng naturally wouldn't remind these things, he was happy to see these ghosts deflated.
Fortunately, the ghosts are not stupid, and after tearing off the light film, a ghost king said: "The space here is limited, and the boat can't enter, so let the little ones come down and enter on foot." ”
But he made up his mind to make those ghost pawns cannon fodder.
In this way, groups of ghost pawns got off the ship, formed a formation, tore through the light film, and walked towards the square.
The neat army of ghost pawns marched on the purple and blue stone slabs, making a mighty and powerful sound of footsteps. It's just that under the stone slab, there are streamers of light passing through, flashing strange fluctuations from time to time.
This fluctuation was unknown to the ghosts, but it was seen by Tang Zheng one by one, and he also calculated what kind of formation this was according to the situation.
At the same time, the ghost pawn army had already walked through the square halfway, and seeing that nothing was wrong, the ghost kings breathed a sigh of relief, and finally couldn't hold back and walked in together.
Mo Luo Sheng saw that several famous ghosts had already stepped into the square, and was about to follow in, but when he saw Tang Zheng standing still, he asked in surprise: "Third child, aren't you going in?"
Tang Zao said leisurely: "In a place of risk, sometimes it may not be a good thing to go too fast. ”
Mo Luosheng was stunned, and the foot that had just stepped on the stone slab was retracted, and said with a smile: "The third brother is right, since this is the case, I might as well wait." ”
The youngest Moro Feng next to him couldn't hold it back, and said, "What can a cowardly person who is afraid of death do?" ”
As he spoke, he stepped on the stone slab.
If he did this, Tang Zheng would not persuade him, Mo Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything after all, even Mo Luo Sha just sneered, and the three of them just watched Mo Luo Feng walk into the formation together, but none of them dissuaded him.
As the army advanced a little further, there was no danger in sight, and the ghost army at the front was already approaching the entrance of the mausoleum, and Moro Feng was about to be triumphant, when he suddenly heard a clattering sound.
The demons were stunned for a moment, and then they felt the ground shake, as if something was about to emerge from the ground.
A quick-reacting ghost king shouted, "It's not good, retreat!"
As soon as the body moved, I saw that the purple blue stone slabs below had been brushed and opened one after another, revealing a large black hole, some of the ghost pawns standing on the stone slab were caught off guard, and fell directly into the hole, only the generals above the level or those virtual ghosts could ignore the stone slab and continue to float in the air, or some lucky ghost pawns who did not move the stone slab still remained on the ground.
But in the next moment, a large field of flames had risen from the hollow.
This place is the Burning Sun Realm, and the use of flames is undoubtedly extremely strong.
This flame erupted, although it was not a divine holy fire, its power was far beyond the ordinary. The powerful flames swept out at once, burning all the demons at the same time.
Just as soon as the fire clouds swirled, a large number of ghost pawns were burned to death, and as for those ghost pawns who fell into the cave, they didn't even have any life and went straight to the account.
A group of ghosts were instantly turned into green smoke by the flames, and the flames were inexhaustible, but they swept towards the remaining group of ghosts and swept the ghost king even more fiercely.
"Rush forward!" After being burned by the flames, they immediately knew that this fire was powerful, and they resisted hard, but instead of retreating, they rushed straight to the entrance of the mausoleum.
The rest of them suddenly rushed towards the mausoleum together, and Namoro Feng was not polite, and led his subordinates to sprint towards the mausoleum with all their might.
The flames erupted like snakes, and they swept towards the demons one after another. The demons also use their own means to resist the flames. After all, they are also king-level ghosts, although this flame is fierce, but it can't kill them at once, and under this flame, the ghosts really rushed into the tomb. There is not a shortage of king-level ghosts, even general-level ghosts do not die much, only some ghosts with special strength, insufficient fire resistance ability or slow speed, and slower reaction ghosts will eventually be devoured by the fire snake, but the overall number is not much, and it has little impact on the overall situation. It's just that the ghost pawn died a bit of a pity.
Just now, almost all the ghost pawns who walked into the square were killed.
And as the ghosts entered the mausoleum, the bluestone slabs slowly returned to their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
