Gu Qingfeng continued to explore downwards. Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the ninth floor.
This should be the last floor of this ancient relic, because Gu Qingfeng saw a well in the center of the hall on this floor. There seemed to be black-purple flames burning in the well, as if black water was boiling. Black mist emerged from the well, turning into turbid gas that filled the entire relic.
This was the Eye of the Cave, and also the Eye of Origin of this ancient relic.
Gu Qingfeng did not go forward to check the Eye of Origin, but looked at some characters on the wall of the hall. These characters were glowing faintly. What made Gu Qingfeng curious was that he could see and feel that this golden light contained a sacred Buddhist aura.
In such a turbid and chaotic place, there were actually some characters that contained a sacred Buddhist aura?
This was a rare thing.
"Who are you? Why have you broken into my place of meditation?"
All of a sudden.
Black smoke billowed out of the well, and an old man appeared vaguely in the black smoke. The old man was dressed in a simple gray robe, and his turbid eyes were fixed on Gu Qingfeng. The light in his eyes flickered incessantly, as if he was particularly curious about Gu Qingfeng's existence, and he was also very fearful.
While the old man was observing Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingfeng was also observing the old man.
With a single glance, he could tell that this old man was a ghost. Furthermore, he was an old ghost that possessed self-awareness and had cultivated for an unknown number of years.
"Your place of meditation?"
Gu Qingfeng asked casually.
"Yes." The old man stared at Gu Qing Feng with a deep frown. His eyes were cloudy as if he wanted to see through Gu Qing Feng. However, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything. Instead, the more he looked, the more confused he became. He became more and more fearful. "May I know your name?"
"My Taoist name is Chi Xiao." Gu Qingfeng asked casually, "What about you?"
"My Taoist name is Feng Liang." After the old man responded, he said, "May I know why you have come to my place of meditation this time?"
"Nothing much. I was just passing by and decided to take a look."
"This is my place of meditation. There's nothing to see here."
"Since it's your place of meditation, why don't you call out to him and see if he answers?"
"Oh?"
The old man was startled and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?" As he spoke, the black smoke billowed out from the well again, enveloping everything in the hall. He discovered that Gu Qingfeng was standing in the middle of the black smoke, seemingly unaffected. The old man was shocked.
"What? Are you trying to choke me to death with this thing?"
With a wave of Gu Qingfeng's hand, the black fog that had filled the hall instantly dissipated.
This scene really frightened the old man. Just as he was about to attack again, Gu Qingfeng's voice suddenly sounded, "Enough, I advise you to save it. Don't make trouble for me. It's useless."
The old man did not attack again.
Even though he did not know who Gu Qingfeng was, nor could he see what ability Gu Qingfeng had, but just now, Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and caused all the black fog in the hall to disappear. There was a saying that once an expert made a move, one would know whether it was true or not. With this move, the old man already knew that the existence of the person in front of him had already exceeded his understanding, and was not someone he could provoke.
Thinking of this, the old man did not hesitate any longer. With a shake of his body, he stood on the ground and cupped his hands, "I have offended you just now. I hope you can forgive me."
"Not bad, at least you know what's good for you."
Gu Qingfeng was not in a hurry. He casually found a place to sit down, took out a wine pot and drank a mouthful, and asked, "Let me ask you, does this ancient ruin belong to you?"
The old man pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "No, this old man is just borrowing this place to meditate."
Actually.
Even if the old man did not say it, Gu Qingfeng could see that although this old ghost's cultivation was not bad, it was far from being able to create such a ruin with his ability.
"When did you start cultivating here?"
"There is no time here, this old man does not know how many years have passed."
"If you don't know time, then you should know whether it was before or after ancient times."
"Before ancient times."
"Did you not leave after that?"
"No."
"What is the Eye of Origin of this ruin?" Gu Qingfeng looked at the well with a smile and said, "It looks pretty good."
"This old man is not too sure. I only know that the turbid Qi in this Eye of Origin is very dense, and it is very suitable for us ghost cultivators to cultivate, so this old man used this place to meditate."
"Is that so …"
Gu Qingfeng did not continue to ask, and did not even use his Divine Sense to investigate this nuisance's Eye of Origin, because he was not interested in this thing. Instead, he was very interested in the few characters on the wall that contained the sacred Buddhist aura.
"Who left these words behind?"
"This …" The old man shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know either."
"Let me ask you one more time. Who was the one who left these words?"
"This old man … really doesn't know."
"I'll ask you one last time, who left these words?"
The old man raised his head and glanced at Gu Qingfeng. At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was not looking at him, but was just looking at the characters on the wall. For some reason, the old man was very panicked. He wanted to speak, but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed them back. He secretly took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. However, not only could he not calm down, but he also became more and more panicked and afraid.
This kind of fear was inexplicable and innate. Why was he afraid?
The old man did not know. He only knew that he was very afraid. A sense of fear was like an invisible hand that firmly grasped him in the palm of his hand, making him panic.
"What? Do you want me to ask you a fourth time?"
Gu Qingfeng's voice came. To the old man, it was like the Grim Reaper was calling. His voice was like the bell of hell, like the sound of a dying drum.
"It's … it's a monk, no! It's left by a holy monk. "
"Holy monk?"
Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and thought for a while. The two words "holy monk" were no small matter. In the entire Vast Wilderness, there were only a few Buddhists who could be called holy monks. He asked, "Which holy monk?"
"I really don't know."
"Have you seen him before?"
"I've seen him a few times."
"More than a few times. That holy monk should have taught you before, right?"
What!
The old man was immediately shocked. He could not figure it out, and he could not understand why this person in front of him even knew that the holy monk had taught him before.
Gu Qingfeng did not continue to ask. He stood up and walked over, carefully looking at the characters on the wall, and said, "If I'm not wrong, this place should have an entrance or something. However, I'm curious. This should be the bottom of the ruins, right? Then where did the previous entrance lead to? "
"I … I don't know."
"It's rare to be able to use a few Buddhist Talismans to seal the entrance. Although the characters are ugly, they are mysterious. It seems that if I can't understand these Talismans today, I won't be able to enter."
As his voice fell, Gu Qingfeng closed his eyes and comprehended the Buddhist Talismans on the wall. A moment later, when the golden light on the Talismans flickered, his figure had disappeared without a trace.
