When Gu Zheng and the others saw how cowardly the ghost was, they did not find it strange that he was scared out of his wits by Xiao Ying's roar.
After all, her cultivation base was there, and she had indeed broken a clay pot. They just did not expect that this thing was actually his hiding place.
"Why? I don't need to explain it to you. Hurry up and ask all of you to come out. My Young Master has something to ask you. "Xiao Ying continued to ask.
To Gu Zheng and the others, the voice and demeanor were just like a child acting coquettishly. They did not have any deterrence, and were even funnier.
But to this cowardly ghost, it was like an incomparably terrifying enemy.
As soon as Xiao Ying's voice fell, several puffs of black fog emerged from other corners and beside her. Three ghosts came out just like that, and the first ghost did not even have time to speak.
"Hurry up and tell me, what are you doing here? Why are you hiding here so sneakily? Stand properly, or I'll eat you. "Xiao Ying proudly commanded them to gather in the middle and continued to threaten them.
The four ghosts trembled in unison, and then formed a strange line in the middle. The first ghost that came out trembled as he replied.
"We are the odd-job workers here, responsible for the cleaning and cleaning of this place. But since those people like you came here, we are not allowed to leave this place."
"What is this place? Do you know that some humans like us appeared here some time ago? "Gu Zheng took a step forward and said to them.
"Speak, what are you looking at me for? My Young Master's words are my words." Xiao Ying said immediately when she saw the four ghosts looking at her, as if waiting for her to make a decision.
"Yes, yes, yes, this is a Sword Mausoleum. As for the others, we did not leave this place at all. How would we know?" The first ghost replied immediately.
"Then who left the whirlpool outside the hall? You said that this place is a Sword Mausoleum. Could it be that everything here was built just to bury it?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment, and asked the question that he wanted to know the most.
"The vortex outside is actually a backup plan left behind by those who were buried here together. They were imprisoned and buried here together when my Emperor was still alive. Later on, they stole the separated jade balls and left this place for good."
"As for this place, of course, it was left behind by my Emperor. Back then, he led us to slay demons and devils. No matter how terrifying those demons were, they all returned in defeat, protecting the lives of our Heaven Swamp Country. However, unexpected things happen. My Emperor's sword was contaminated with Devil Qi. He couldn't bear to destroy it, so he spent ten thousand years building this sword mausoleum to suppress the Devil Qi on it. After it completely recovered, he came back to take it."
"It's a pity that countless years have passed. I'm afraid that our country has long since ceased to exist. We've been here day after day, still carrying out our duties as protectors. Of course, our job is only to clean up. Now, only the four of us are left."
The ghost spilled out everything in one breath, allowing Gu Zheng and the others to gain a basic understanding of this place.
"It's just a weapon. There's no need for so many people. I think they deserved to die in the end," Pang Chao said disdainfully, causing the four ghosts to glare at him.
"What's in that room? I see that it's also locked up. Open it for us. "Xiao Ying rolled her eyes and suddenly asked.
"There's some equipment inside. It's for some generals who volunteered to guard this place. I'll open it for you."
The ghost entered the corner of the wall and returned without any reaction.
"Forget it, let's go." Gu Zheng felt that he couldn't get anything out of it, so he prepared to go back to the only entrance.
"You guys go back." Xiao Ying hurriedly said and then followed them.
After the four ghosts heard this, they also turned into black fog and returned to the clay pot.
When they returned to the hall, they found that the red fog had disappeared. After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng still led them in.
Inside, they also turned a corner and walked into a small room. Inside, there were five boxes neatly placed, without any seals.
Gu Zheng opened them and found five sets of divine weapons. Unfortunately, four of them were almost completely spiritualized. Only the last set of heavy armor was still emitting a black light.
Although it was a little dim, at least with a little nourishment, it would still be a set of top grade magical equipment.
"Kun Yu, keep this set of armor first." Gu Zheng glanced at it and ordered.
Gu Zheng knew how valuable this set was. If one wore it, one's combat power would increase by at least one level.
Kun Yu heard this and didn't refuse. To be honest, other than a good weapon, they only had one or two magical equipment. Compared to those of the same cultivation level, it was indeed a little shabby.
Kun Yu's expression changed the moment he came into contact with it. After one breath, he suddenly retreated three steps, leaving three deep footprints on the ground. At the same time, large amounts of sweat dripped down from his head like a waterfall, wetting the ground.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng, who had already turned back, felt something was wrong. He suddenly turned back and saw this scene and couldn't help but ask.
"Young Master Gu, there's too much evil Qi on it. I can't subdue it at all." Kun Yu took a few breaths and explained.
The others looked at the heavy armor. Although they were envious, even Kun Yu couldn't pick it up, let alone them.
Gu Zheng was also very curious. He took a closer look and found that there was indeed a huge amount of evil Qi hidden inside the armor. Who knew how many battles it had gone through to be able to gather so much evil Qi.
No wonder this set of heavy armor could be left behind until now.
"I'll help you hold it." Gu Zheng didn't move, but Xiao Ying rushed up. She waved her hand and kept the set of heavy armor. She wouldn't be disturbed by the evil Qi on it at all.
Gu Zheng was still thinking of a way to isolate the evil Qi. Thinking that Xiao Ying was a spirit and wouldn't be affected by it, he didn't want to waste time on it.
"Bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion outside the hall. Everyone was stunned. They didn't know what had happened.
Gu Zheng looked around and found that Leng Xin and Pang Chao weren't here.
Everyone immediately ran outside and found that Leng Xin and Pang Chao were already fighting with two ghosts that looked like black fog.
Although the two ghosts didn't have corpses, it seemed that any part of their body could transform into weapons. More importantly, the ghosts weren't afraid of Leng Xin and Pang Chao's attacks.
The weapons slashed across their bodies, but they couldn't hurt them at all. The two ghosts didn't notice this at all. In an instant, their arms turned into sledgehammers and smashed into their bodies.
The two loud sounds just now came from their bodies.
"This is Black Soul. They are almost immune to physical damage and have a certain resistance to magic." Xiao Ying said as soon as she came out.
Leng Xin and Pang Chao's bodies suddenly burst into flames and forced the two ghosts to retreat.
Xiao Ying rushed over and two rays of Buddhist light rushed out from her hands. In the blink of an eye, they formed a rope and tied up the two ghosts.
The two ghosts struggled madly, but it was useless. Soon, the Buddhist light spread out from their bodies. Wisps of black smoke rose from their bodies until they turned into ashes.
"Are you guys okay?" Gu Zheng could feel that they weren't injured, but he still went forward and asked.
"I'm fine. Their attack power is too weak. When they hit me directly, it was like scratching an itch." Pang Chao stood up and touched his body. Leng Xin also shook his head to show that he wasn't injured.
"Of course. They are only mid-level Black Souls. Their strength is about the same as mid-level Heaven Immortal." Xiao Ying couldn't help but say after she easily dealt with them.
"No wonder it didn't hurt at all. It gave me a fright. They suddenly appeared beside us without any signs. We didn't notice them at all." Pang Chao suddenly realized.
"Everyone, be careful. Not only are there Asuras here, but there might also be evil creatures left here a long time ago. If they were stronger, like Xiao Ying, we might have already collected your corpses." Gu Zheng looked at the two of them and said indifferently.
"We promise that we won't leave Young Master's side." Leng Xin said hurriedly. The two of them thought that nothing would happen and left in advance. But in the end, something like this happened.
"They dropped this thing." Xiao Ying showed Gu Zheng the thing that she had just picked up.
It was a bronze waist token engraved with strange patterns. There was the word "Palace" on it, which seemed to be used to identify one's identity.
"Take it first. It might be useful." Gu Zheng glanced at it and said so. He then walked forward.
They had already wasted some time here. Gu Zheng felt that it was better to speed up.
In this unknown Sword Mausoleum, who knew if there were other dangers.
Gu Zheng was now sure that the Asura had joined forces with the one behind the starry sky. The aura of that Black Soul was exactly the same as Wen Tianhou's aura.
Everyone followed Gu Zheng and walked forward. Soon, they arrived at another hall. This hall was several times bigger than before. There were more than ten doors on the side. They didn't know where they were.
All of this gave Gu Zheng a headache. This was simply a maze. Why were there so many forks in the road? Where did these roads lead to? He didn't know.
He couldn't even use his Divine Sense to explore. He had to explore them one by one.
"Why don't we split up and be more careful?" Kun Yu suggested. If they all went together, it would waste too much time.
"That's the only way. Xiao Ying, you go alone. You and Zhou Xuan will split into three groups. Each of you will explore three directions. I will be in the middle. You take this thing. If there is an emergency, crush it. I will naturally go over. Try to avoid fighting." Gu Zheng took out a golden ball that he had made temporarily and handed it to them.
They took it one by one and spontaneously assigned their positions. Then, they walked in different directions.
Gu Zheng watched as the other party left and began to observe in the hall.
Although this hall was big, it was not empty. At least there were some decorative items. But most of them were ordinary things and didn't have much value.
After a round, Gu Zheng found that there was nothing else worth paying attention to. He stood in the middle and kept an eye on them.
In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Ying came out from the first passage. After shaking her head at Gu Zheng, she entered the second passage.
She chose the middle passage. Relatively speaking, there were two more paths than the sides. In theory, if the back was the outermost area, the middle passage was most likely to have a main path.
Not long after Xiao Ying came out, Leng Xin and Kun Yu also came out. They shook their heads at Gu Zheng, indicating that they didn't find anything.
Four hours later, everyone gathered in the middle again and reported to Gu Zheng what they had seen.
"Apart from the fact that there are no enemies, the rest are very ordinary daily necessities. It can be seen that people used to live here."
Gu Zheng listened to their investigation. The situation on both sides was similar. Moreover, there were many rooms inside. It should be a gathering place. There was nothing strange about it.
"Just as Young Master had expected, there are passages leading to other places. The other places are filled with junk, and there is nothing here. However, there are two passages, and I don't know where they lead. I only took a brief look, and I don't know where they lead. What should we do next?" Xiao Ying reported.
"Of course we'll go together. We can't split up." Gu Zheng said without thinking.
In theory, it was best for him to bring Xiao Ye along. But in reality, these dense passages would delay him for a long time. The longer he stayed here, the more accidents there would be.
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the others agreed. They followed Gu Zheng to the passage on the left side of the Tide River. They wanted to see what was inside.
Following the passage that Xiao Ying pointed out, the group disappeared again.
However, this passage was a little longer than they expected. They had to go through a lot of twists and turns. They didn't know where the passage led to. After traveling for two hours, they arrived at a small room.
Halfway through, Gu Zheng felt a little regretful. This passage didn't seem to be the main one. It was too long. There wasn't even a side path in the middle. One must know that their speed wasn't slow at all.
Just this short distance gave Gu Zheng a bad premonition. This place was simply frighteningly big. It seemed that it wouldn't be as easy to find Ji Yi and the others as he thought.
Looking at this small room, there was a table and furniture. There was even a small dressing table at the side. It seemed to be a girl's room. But that was it.
In other words, they wasted a lot of time going back and forth. In the end, it was a dead end. It was really annoying.
"Let's go. It seems like there's no one here." Gu Zheng had no choice but to go back after a careful investigation.
But at this time, along with the sound of a bell, a very soft voice came from the air.
"Ding Ling"
"I'm still here!"
"Who? Come out! " Gu Zheng shouted. At the same time, he looked around again. But he didn't find anything pitiful.
The others also took out their weapons and looked around vigilantly.
"I'm out. Why do you look so scary?"
Along with the voice, a pink cat demon appeared in front of everyone in the air. There was a pink bell hanging on her neck. Her body was slender, like a leopard. There were purple patterns on her back, which made her look even more beautiful.
"So cute!" Xiao Ying looked at the cute eyes. There was a red heart symbol on the soft hair on her forehead. Even the tail was swaying in the air. Xiao Ying couldn't help but say.
"Who are you? Were you also captured here? "The cat demon looked at Gu Zheng and the others curiously and asked.
There was no trace of filth in her pure eyes. She was like a pure gem.
"How did you get here? Were you captured and trapped here? "Xiao Ying flew over and circled around the cat demon. She seemed to be sizing her up.
"I was captured the moment I was born. My sister is still there. Can you take me out of here? I want to find my sister." The cat demon followed Xiao Ying's body and circled around in the air. Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ying.
"Okay, where is your sister? Are you trapped? " Xiao Ying agreed immediately. Then, she looked around the cat demon. But she didn't find any restraints.
"I don't know. I was captured the moment I was born. I only know that my sister is very, very far away from here. I want to meet her. I'm not trapped, but I don't know how to find her. I can't get out of this special space, so I can only settle down here." The cat demon said honestly.
Gu Zheng relaxed a lot. It was just a cat demon. Moreover, she didn't seem to have any strength. He gave everyone a reassuring look and asked them to put away their weapons. Then, he continued to look ahead.
"Then follow me. I'll help you find your sister." Xiao Ying agreed immediately. She didn't even think about where the cat demon would go.
Because based on the feeling in her heart, she knew that the cat demon didn't have any bad intentions. It was as if she was looking at herself when she was just born. She was just as ignorant and didn't know anything.
"Great, thank you!" The cat demon revealed a very human-like smile. Her body began to shrink rapidly. Finally, she became the size of a palm and squatted on Xiao Ying's shoulder.
"Don't worry. My master and I will definitely help you return home. By the way, what's your name?" Xiao Ying's eyes were filled with surprise. She turned her neck and touched the cat demon's head with her small hand. The furry feeling made her happy.
"I don't have a name. I don't know what my name is either!" The cat demon didn't know why the other party wanted to touch her head. However, she didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she felt comfortable. She couldn't help but rub her head.
"I'll call you Kitten. That's my master. When the time comes, we'll help you find your way home." Xiao Ying pointed at Gu Zheng and said. She didn't want the cat to recognize the wrong person.
"Well, we have to go. It will take some time to go back the way we came. Let's talk on the way!" Gu Zheng said to Xiao Ying.
"Leave this place? That mirror can open a gap. There's a hall on the other side. However, there's a very powerful thing guarding there. You'll meet them when you go back the way you came. I've been to all the places in this small area. There are a few good people in the innermost area. Unfortunately, they can't leave this place. "
As soon as Gu Zheng's voice fell, Kitten suddenly spoke and pointed at a mirror hanging on the wall.
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention and looked in that direction.
