"I once accidentally entered an ancient cave, got some opportunities, and got some weird aura."
This explanation is reasonable. Cultivation World There are often monks whose breath mutates due to unexpected encounters.
The man's expression softened slightly, but the vigilance in his eyes remained.
"Have you ever seen a young man in his early twenties with the Earth Palace Realm cultivation level?"
"Never."
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"It's hard to see anyone in these barren mountains and ridges for several days."
The man seemed to want to ask again, and a disciple behind him whispered.
"Senior brother, this person is not young, and his cultivation level is only Earth Palace Realm. He cannot be that Gu Sheng. Don't waste our time."
Gu Sheng's ears moved slightly.
They were indeed searching for me! And even his cultivation level and age are so clear, someone must have leaked the information.
The man pondered for a moment and waved his hand.
"Let's go and continue searching. The traitor should be nearby."
The six people turned and left.
They did not go far, but spread out a hundred feet away, forming a faint encirclement.
"It seems like I'm not completely reassured yet."
Gu Sheng thought to himself.
The night wind carried their whispers.
"Did that kid really see Gu Sheng?"
"It's unmistakable. He is the direct descendant of the Holy Lord, and his 'Heavenly Eye' is never wrong."
"But we and I have searched hundreds of miles around, and we haven't even found a trace of the traitor."
"Unless. he enters Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge"
Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Qinghe Holy Lord's personal disciple? When was his whereabouts exposed?
Without thinking too much, the six people were already walking towards him again.
Delaying it any longer will only make it more dangerous.
Gu Sheng glanced at the gloomy Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge not far away, and his figure suddenly rose up!
"Want to run?"
The man shouted fiercely, and a green light shot out from his sleeve.
Gu Sheng sidestepped and rushed towards Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge without looking back. A few sneers came from behind.
"Seeking death!"
"How dare Earth Palace Realm break into Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge?"
"I'm afraid I'm daydreaming about treasure hunting!"
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear, and within a few ups and downs it had reached the edge of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
A heavy yin energy hit my face.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the gray fog.
"Senior brother, do you want to pursue me?" the female disciple asked.
The man looked in the direction where Gu Sheng disappeared, his expression uncertain.
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge is so dangerous that even people like Master dare not go deep into it easily. This person is seeking death, so don't pay attention to him. I and the others will guard the perimeter. If he is lucky enough to come out alive."
"Then let him die again!"
Another disciple said with a cruel smile.
The six people spread out, each occupying a high ground, and their spiritual consciousness spread out, forming an invisible network.
One of them took out a jade bottle and carefully poured out a wisp of breath.
It is the aura sample left by Gu Sheng in the Holy Land!
"With the aura guidance given by the Holy Lord, he can never escape even if he escapes to the ends of the earth!"
What they didn't know was that Hidden Heaven Jade on Gu Sheng's chest was slightly hot, completely blocking out the tracking aura.
In Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, Gu Shen moved forward step by step.
There was a "click" sound under the feet, which was a white skeleton half-buried in the soil.
The surroundings were filled with gray fog, visibility was less than ten feet, and the branches of the dead trees were twisted like struggling ghost hands.
A gust of dark wind blew by, and countless blurry faces emerged from the mist, wailing shrilly.
Gu Sheng felt his scalp was numb, and quickly ran Xuantian Holy Land's "Clear Heart Incantation" to stabilize his mind.
"What a strong resentment!"
He was secretly shocked.
"No wonder it's called a death zone."
Legend has it that Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge was the reincarnation of Ancient Deity after his death. The resentment of the god before his death merged with this land, giving rise to countless strange things.
For thousands of years, countless monks have come here in search of treasure, and they have all become part of the withered bones on the ground.
Gu Sheng Proceed carefully, stopping and observing every hundred steps.
It was found that although the outer area was spooky, there was no real danger.
Those grimaces in the mist are just the result of resentment. As long as the mind is stable, it cannot hurt anyone.
"It seems that the rumors are true. The danger level of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge is directly proportional to the depth."
"If there really is a peerless sword, it must be in the deepest place."
Gu Sheng took out the strange black stone and found that the blood streaks on its surface were more active than before, seeming to be echoing something.
"There is indeed a connection"
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is this stone the key to the depths?"
While I was thinking about it, there was a sudden rustling sound in the distance, as if something was crawling on the dead leaves.
Gu Sheng immediately put away the black stone and looked alertly towards the direction of the sound source.
In the gray fog, a rickety figure slowly emerged
At the same time, Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge is outside.
Six Qinghe Holy Land disciples have been guarding the place for a whole day, but they still cannot sense the breath of Gu Sheng.
"Strange."
The leading man frowned.
"Even if he died inside, there should still be some breath left."
The female disciple guessed.
"Could he have escaped in another direction?"
"It is also possible that Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge entered."
But there are also many people who feel that it is too dangerous there and Gu Sheng cannot possibly die there.
It was decided to send someone to Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge to investigate, while others continued to expand the scope of the search.
Inside Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, there was deathly silence.
Gu Sheng walks forward on crunchy bones.
The gray mist flowed slowly around, like a living entity, following him not far or near.
We have been walking for half a day, and apart from the increasingly dense yin energy, we haven't encountered any danger at all.
"Something's wrong"
Gu Sheng stopped.
Legend has it that even the strong Heavenly Palace Realm has a death zone that cannot be entered or exited. How could it be so peaceful?
This unnatural tranquility is more disturbing than facing a ferocious beast.
Gu Sheng Hidden Heaven Jade on the chest felt slightly hot.
Taking out the strange black stone, I found that the blood on the surface was several times more active than before, almost jumping out of the stone surface.
"It's really weird."
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the grass behind him.
Gu Sheng All the muscles in his body tensed instantly, and his fists clenched loudly - someone was following him!
The moment he turned around, a short figure sprang out from the dead grass at an alarming speed.
Gu Sheng Without thinking, he punched out with a punch full of spiritual power!
"Ouch!"
With a cry of pain, the figure was punched away and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
Gu Sheng Only then could he see clearly that he was actually a monk wearing tattered monk robes, with two large freshly baked buns on his head that were swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You you are"
Gu Sheng was stunned, this monk looked familiar.
The monk covered his head and jumped up, his face red with anger.
"Gu Sheng! You have an eye and a butt? I'm kind enough to save you, but you gave me two 'hills' when you came up?"
The memory suddenly became clear - the weird monk Ling Xiao who had met once before at Ancient Zen Temple!
It is said that "Buddha Child Reincarnation" is born with Buddhist wisdom.
"Ling Xiao? What are you doing?"
Gu Sheng Halfway through his words, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently!
"Rumble--"
The ground seemed to be torn apart by invisible giant hands, opening countless bottomless gaps.
The ink-like Yin Qi spurted out from the cracks in the ground, covering the entire sky.
The originally pale sunlight was completely swallowed up, and the world fell into darkness.
"Oops!"
Ling Xiao's face changed drastically.
"It's Yin Energy Tide! Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge is a great explosion of Yin energy that occurs once every hundred years!"
Gu Sheng felt like the hairs all over his body were standing on end.
The seemingly calm gray mist was boiling now, and a cold and biting breath rushed towards his face.
Subconsciously raising his hand to block, a ray of Yin Qi brushed across his arm, and the skin was immediately torn open, and the blood was frozen into ice slag before it even flowed out.
"This yin"
Gu Sheng gasped in pain.
"It's scarier than the rumors!"
Ling Xiao recited Buddhist scriptures urgently.
A faint golden light emerged from his body, forming a thin shield of light to protect the two of them.
The Yin Qi hit the light mask, making a corrosive sound of "chichi".
"Don't be stunned!"
Ling Xiao is sweating on his forehead.
"My 'Bodhi Golden Body' won't last long!"
Gu Sheng then came back to his senses and quickly used [Primordial Samsara Bell].
The simple bronze bell is suspended above the head, with wisps of cyan light curtain hanging down, blending with the Buddha's light, temporarily resisting the invasion of Yin Qi.
"You can't stop this broken bell."
Ling Xiao curled his lips.
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge's Yin Qi originates from Ancient Deity resentment and is designed to overcome the Dharma Vessel Spirit nature."
As if to confirm his words, the light curtain of the Samsara Bell dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slight cracks even appeared on the body of the clock.
This bell was obtained by him at a historical site. It had saved him from danger many times, but now it couldn't even hold it for a moment!
"Look at me!"
Ling Xiao Put your hands together.
"Om Mani Padme Hum!"
The Buddha's light suddenly brightened, forcing the approaching Yin Qi back a few feet.
But Gu Sheng keenly discovered that Ling Xiao's legs were trembling slightly, which was obviously a great consumption.
"Aren't you Buddha Child Reincarnation?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Is that all you have?"
"Fart!"
Ling Xiao jumped in anger.
"Anyone else would have been turned to white bones by the Yin Qi! The Yin Qi in this ghost place is more than ten times stronger than last time!"
Ling Xiao There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and the golden bowl in his hand buzzed and trembled.
"It's not good, this evil spirit is more fierce than last time!"
"Last time?"
Gu Sheng keenly captured the keyword, but it was too late to ask.
The black energy was already coming, and he quickly ran "Xuantian Bodyguard Qi", and his body surface glowed with bronze luster.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and cracks appeared in the protective aura.
Gu Sheng There was a sweetness in the throat and bloodshot eyes overflowed from the corners of the mouth.
Just when the black energy was about to engulf the two of them, Ling Xiao bit the tip of his tongue violently and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the golden bowl.
"Great Buddha Light, rise!"
The golden bowl suddenly bloomed with dazzling golden light, turning into a hemispherical light shield that enveloped the two of them.
The black air hit the light mask and made a "chichi" sound, and was purified into wisps of blue smoke.
"Ahem."
Ling Xiao's face was pale, but he forced a grin.
"How's it going? Is this 'Duo'e Golden Bowl' good enough?"
Gu Sheng stared at the Sanskrit words flowing on the golden bowl, feeling horrified.
This is clearly a Buddhist treasure, at least a Bodhisattva-level instrument.
"It's indeed powerful. But should I and the others withdraw first?"
"Withdraw?"
Ling Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a strange color in his eyes.
"If you go out now, you are courting death. Come with me!"
After saying that, he dragged Gu Sheng and ran towards the depths of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
Gu Sheng's heart was ringing with alarm bells, but the range of the golden bowl of Buddha's light was limited, so he had to keep up with Ling Xiao's pace.
The two walked through the twisted dead trees. The strange thing was that Ling Xiao seemed to know the road, and they avoided all the cracks in the ground that spewed black air.
Gu Sheng looked more and more frightened, and suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's wrist.
"Who are you anyway?"
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Ling Xiao howled exaggeratedly.
"Master Gu, now is not the time for internal strife!"
Gu Sheng put more force on his hand, and bronze-colored Qi spread along his arm.
"These cracks in the ground move erratically, but you feel as familiar as going home."
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with golden light, and he suddenly lowered his voice.
"Three years ago, Xuantian Sect was involved in the murder of his family. Your master, Qingming Zi, was on his deathbed."
"Shut up!"
Gu Sheng Gang Qi is instantly disordered.
He had never mentioned this to anyone. How could the guy with a playful smile in front of him know?
Ling Xiao took the opportunity to break free and pointed at the faint blue light ahead.
"Did you see it? That's 'Bodhi Barrier' from Chan Master Jingye. If you continue to mess around, we both have to explain it here!"
Gu Sheng Looking along, I saw a layer of blue light rippling like water waves at the entrance of the rock canyon a hundred meters away.
What's even more astonishing is that the black air raging around him automatically detours when it encounters blue light.
"You'd better stop playing tricks."
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and followed, but secretly injected True Essence into the ancient bronze clock in his sleeve.
The moment the two people rushed into the barrier, the golden bowl of Buddha's light dissipated like a pop.
Ling Xiao collapsed directly on the ground, gasping for air.
"Oh my god, I almost died from exhaustion."
Gu Sheng looked around warily.
The canyon is covered with green grass, and there are even a few bodhi trees with white flowers, which is in sharp contrast to the purgatory scene outside.
The terrifying black energy was spreading its teeth and claws outside the barrier, but it was still unable to take a step beyond the barrier.
"This barrier"
"Chan Master Jingye was clothed before sitting down."
Ling Xiao took out a wine gourd and drank a few gulps.
"The old monk burned his golden body to suppress Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge for three hundred years. Unfortunately, the seal has been loosened recently."
Gu Sheng Suddenly remembered something and turned around suddenly.
"How do you know about my master? And this bell——"
He sacrificed an ancient bronze bell, with the four characters "Ancient Reincarnation" glowing in the body.
Ling Xiao waved his hand in a drunken manner.
"Don't be nervous, my master and your master are old friends."
"Fart!"
Gu Sheng was so angry that he let out his anger.
"My master will practice pure cultivation throughout his life!"
"It's an old acquaintance!"
Ling Xiao quickly changed his words, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Oops!"
The entire canyon suddenly shook violently, and a loud sound of earth shattering was heard in the distance.
Gu Sheng followed the sound and saw a blue beam of light rising into the sky from the depths of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, and the black energy dispersed wherever it passed.
But what's even more terrifying is that countless sword energies burst out from the light pillar, and each one contains the power of opening up the world.
"Is that the direction of. Sword Tomb?"
Ling Xiao's voice trembled.
"Damn it, Sword Maniac, they faked the corpse!"
A sword energy as thick as a bucket struck towards the canyon.
Gu Sheng The hairs all over his body stand on end, and before the sword energy reaches his body, his skin is already tingling.
"The bell is coming!"
Ling Xiao suddenly shouted and took the photo on Primordial Samsara Bell first.
Strangely, the ancient bell that originally required Gu Sheng's unique mental method to activate suddenly surged in response to the sound, covering the two of them.
"You——"
"Stop talking nonsense! Enter True Essence with all your strength!"
Ling Xiao formed a seal with his hands, and the shadow of Vajra vaguely appeared behind him.
Gu Sheng Without thinking too much, he injected his skills into the ancient clock.
"Dang-!"
The moment the sword energy struck the ancient bell, Gu Sheng seemed to hear the yellow bell exploding in his ears.
The ancient inscriptions that appeared on the body of the clock were shattered inch by inch, and the terrifying backlash caused his internal organs to shift.
The last thing I saw was the ferocious face of Ling Xiao, bleeding from all its orifices but still maintaining its seal.
Before darkness fell, Gu Sheng vaguely heard Ling Xiao's curse.
"You damn Sword Maniac. Wait for me to lift the coffin boards of you and the others."
