In the air, an extremely bleak, almost fishy, breathless smell of blood floated in the air. This was an extremely fishy smell. Even Wumeizi, who had the least expression, had his mouth pressed into a straight line and his face tensed up.

This secret realm is not located underground, but in a different space. He Ping looked up into the air and saw a gray sky above his head. The sky was gray and white, giving people a very unclean feeling.

"Water Mansion's position is still ahead!"

Chixinzi stretched out his hand and pointed to Bone Forest, which was soaked by the water waves.

"We need to pass through the Bone Forest in the water, then cross the foggy swamp, and cross this 'Lake of No Return'. However, during this process, there are many dangers, and it is easy to alarm something in this area... Old Cell Ghost, I think you should know better than me in this situation, how dangerous these Bone Forest and Lake of No Return are!"

While he was saying these words, Old Cell Ghost was also staring at the piece of Bone Forest, dazed in a daze. After a while, he sighed and said slowly, "Scary! This is indeed a sinister place!"

Even though he was born in the Ghost Cry Sect, he only felt that the place ahead contained extreme dangers, so he hesitated and did not dare to take a step forward.

"That piece of Bone Forest makes people feel very uncomfortable. Also, the blood-red shroud hanging on it makes me feel very sinister!"

Wumeizi was extremely vigilant. Although Bone Forest was far away from each other and there was a piece of water in the middle, he could already feel the rather gloomy atmosphere.

Granny Miaohua also observed Bone Forest carefully. This piece of water was lifeless, and even the waves could not be seen. It was surrounded by a piece of light purple-red soil. If you grab a handful with your hand, you will find that it is as bright red as blood.

She turned her head and looked behind her again. Except for the narrow cave that suddenly rose from the ground, behind it was the endless purple-red soil. It was deathly quiet and there was no sound at all. At a glance, there was nothing but a few bare stone trees.

"Old Cell Ghost, tell me more in detail," she knew that Ghost Cry Sect had been dealing with evil spirits and fierce ghosts for many years, and she had done some research on the tombs of senior masters, cave abode. The Bone Forest in front of her looked like a place where fierce ghosts were entrenched. To get over here, I am afraid it would require the efforts of Old Cell Ghost's group.

Hearing this, Old Cell Ghost was slightly silent, and there was a piece of yellow paper in his right hand. This was money burned to the dead. Paper money was often scattered during funerals, and this kind of yellow paper was used.

The paper is round, with a hole cut out in the middle, just like a living copper coin. One side of the paper money says "Underworld Market Currency" and the other side says "Sincerely pray for peace."

Old Cell Ghost raised the paper money, closed one eye, and put the other eye in front of the hole in the paper. He counted the time, and the paper money in his hand suddenly burned and turned into ashes in an instant.

"Not good."

The old man's expression also changed drastically.

"Bone Forest is probably very powerful. I used the 'Ghost Eye Square-Hole Technique' in my ghost technique to take a sneak peek, and it was noticed by the other side..."

"Dali?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. You must know that the ancients called good ghosts "gods" and evil ghosts "Li". They also said that "ghosts have their own home, but they are not Li". Therefore, since ancient times, in order to calm down the evil ghosts that cause trouble everywhere, people will build Li temples and Li altars, and often perform sacrifices to avoid causing trouble.

"... Dali means big ghost, fierce ghost, and fierce ghost. They have been harmonious and powerful since ancient times. Bone Forest In addition to the powerful spirit, there is also a lingering evil spirit. I'm afraid this trip will not be easy."

Old Cell Ghost smoked the pot and looked a little nervous. The ghost technique he practiced was derived from "Vow of Ghosts Chapter" in <Supreme Cave Abyss Divine Incantation Scripture>. According to the Secret Method language in the sutra, he can communicate with ghosts and gods.

However, the more you understand ghosts and gods, the more you can understand how much evil is hidden in this Bone Forest.

"How?"

Wumeizi asked again, "Brother Jiaogui Daoist, are you sure you can pass through this place...?"

"It's hard to say."

Old Cell Ghost shook his head and sighed, "I can't see through the reality of this place. Only the senior experts of the Sanyuan Devil Palace know what is going on in Bone Forest. Just now I just took a few more glances, and my heart started to beat wildly and my whole body was trembling inexplicably. This shows how fierce Bone Forest is."

"Then again, Chixinzi, how did you pass through this area in the first place..."

Granny Miaohua looked at Chixinzi in confusion.

"Well..."

Chixinzi smiled bitterly and said, "I had a chance and got the World-Crossing Raft of the former Poison Dragon Temple Bitter Bamboo Nunnery. I was lucky enough to pass through Bone Forest and Lake of No Return. Unfortunately, on the way back, the bamboo raft also sank into the lake."

"World-Crossing Raft!"

Wumeizi was also shocked when he heard it.

"It's World-Crossing Raft refined by Thunder Sound Bamboo of Poison Dragon Temple. After Great You destroyed Bitter Bamboo Nunnery, Thunder Sound Bamboo was burned up in a fire. I thought there was no such thing in the world anymore."

"Actually, the Bronze Figurine Lamp in my hand and the World-Crossing Raft that sank into this lake after being damaged were all obtained together," Chixinzi said unhurriedly while stroking his long beard.

"Poison Dragon Temple Bitter Bamboo Nunnery inherits the Water Moon Zen line of the five major Zen monasteries, which is known as 'The sound of spring swallows dangerous rocks, the cold sun is green pine trees. The music of the pond in the sky at dusk, the peaceful Zen tames the poisonous dragon'. The Zen skills of Water Moon Zen line are specially designed to ward off Yin Demon's impurities, and can restrain the most powerful attributes in the world.

Since the people who arranged these Bone Forest and Lake of No Return are Daoist masters who practice 'Water Official Method', and the methods they practice are also influenced by their own - and therefore, then World-Crossing Raft can help me survive the danger, but... I have to rely on you today, brother."

He chuckled, naturally still looking at Old Cell Ghost.

"I know very well how dangerous Bone Forest is. If anyone among us can pass here, it's probably you, my brother."

The old man with white hair on his head and vicious wrinkles on his face knitted his brows together. The fierceness of Bone Forest made him feel a little hesitant. After a while, the old man said, "With my confidence, I can only try my best. Whether it succeeds or not depends on my fate and yours. Bone Forest is certainly dangerous, and this water is not simple either."

After saying this, he put down the rag bag on his shoulder, took out an earthenware basin, took it in his hand and started rubbing it.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the tile basin. He Ping noticed that the tile basin was not the common blue-black color. There was also a layer of blood in the cold blue-black color.

"Ghost Treasure?"

Wumeizi's eyes flashed, and there was a strange light in the boy's hole. With the "Tai Sui Dharma Eye" of Earth Demon Tai Sui Body in <Five-Passes Body>, he was able to see through that the true face of the tile basin was an evil ghost with an elongated body and coiled up into a ball.

This evil ghost's skin is green and black, and its whole body is covered with cracks that have been refined in the cellar. It has a ferocious face and its twin bodies are like charcoal. It is probably a ghost that was sent to the ghost refining cellar for repeated refining.

"This is the most proud work of the old man. My cellar refining method uses ghosts as the main material and flesh, blood and bone mud as the supplementary material, specializing in refining various pottery cellar utensils. This 'Evil Ghost Black Basin' is extremely turbid and can block the yang. With this 'Evil Ghost Black Basin', we can temporarily enter and leave the lake."

Old Cell Ghost stretched out his hand and put "Evil Ghost Black Basin" into the water. The basin suddenly became bigger and looked like a small boat in the water.

"If you don't mind, Old Cell Ghost will give you a piece of it--"
