The carriage continued to run through the huge passageway.
The will-o '-the-wisps coming from the black bull's iron hooves illuminated the surroundings with a light green light.
Xiao Shengmo suddenly pulled on the reins, causing the carriage to slowly come to a stop — at the end of the passageway was a fault.
The interior of this mysterious tower buried underground was surprisingly hollow — in the middle of the empty space, there was a huge metal pillar — this metal pillar was slowly rotating.
Although they were not close to it, Xiao Shengmo could already feel the terrifying energy emitted from this rotating metal pillar.
Xiao Shengmo frowned, then pulled the reins in his hand again, and the carriage set off again, circling around the huge metal pillar and spiraling upwards.
The mysterious small tower that sucked Long Xiruo and the others inside was still quietly standing beside Xiao Shengmo, not shaken in the slightest by the bumpy carriage.
… …
Ever since they were sucked into the small tower, they could barely sense the situation outside.
This was the treasure of the Ghost City's City Lord, Xiao Shengmo — Ten Thousand Ghosts Tower.
According to legend, there was a space inside it that could absorb 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals. Once activated, 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals would come out, causing the weather to change, as if hell had descended.
No one knew what was inside the Ten Thousand Ghosts Tower — a place that could absorb 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals would certainly be gloomy and terrifying.
Unexpectedly, when Chiichi Kamiya and the others opened their eyes, what they saw was not hell, but a quiet place with a winding path.
There was a small bridge with flowing water and a cool breeze. It was like a paradise, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Tower?"
Suddenly, Long Xiruo's voice rang out.
Chiichi Kamiya and Ghost Child looked over at the same time and saw that Long Xiruo had already stood up. Her originally pale face had become rosy. Presumably, it was because of the medicinal pills that Chiichi Kamiya had given her, allowing her to recover.
"It should be." Chiichi Kamiya nodded. "Xiao Shengmo's Ten Thousand Ghosts Tower has always been mysterious. No one knows what's inside it … However, why did Xiao Shengmo suddenly attack and trap us in this place?"
Long Xiruo frowned and said, "Ever since Xiao Shengmo became the Ghost City's City Lord, he basically never left Fengdu Ghost City except during the Penglai Conference. He's always been very mysterious … Let's go forward and see. I don't think he would send us in here for no reason. "
"Rumor has it that there are 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pagoda. Are you afraid?" The ghost child looked at him worriedly.
Chiichi Kamiya calmly said, "Others may be afraid, but your Lord Long won't be afraid … Shinryū's aura is Chellona's most powerful and majestic power. It is the nemesis of all demons and monsters."
The ghost child nodded and then carried the unconscious Luo Dance on his back — It seemed that he was the only one suitable to do this.
At this time, the faint sound of a zither came from the depths of the bamboo forest ahead … This made Long Xiruo stunned and said subconsciously, "What a cold zither sound."
"It seems that the zither sound wants to lead us there." Chiichi Kamiya frowned.
Long Xiruo and Chiichi Kamiya looked at each other, and then they resolutely followed the sound into the bamboo forest ahead.
The bamboo trees were silent and fluttering. The zither sound was cold but not sad. It was like the sound of understanding the world, lingering in the air.
It was getting deeper and deeper.
Long Xiruo raised her hand and lifted a small section of bamboo leaves. She saw a touch of brown in front of her. It was an antique wooden house built in the bamboo forest.
There was a pavilion outside the house. At this time, someone was sitting in the pavilion and playing the zither.
The sound of footsteps began to disturb the sound of the zither. When Long Xiruo and others were several meters away from the pavilion, the zither player stopped.
He put his hands on the strings and slightly raised his head.
"Why did you lead us here?" Long Xiruo said in a low voice, "Did you make the flute sound silent and lead us here? Who are you? "
"Lord Long is still forgetful."
The man's voice was slightly hoarse and old. At this time, he stood up and turned around. He looked like an old man.
The old man had a benevolent look, like those immortals who didn't eat the food of mortals.
Seeing this man, Long Xiruo's eyes suddenly changed, and Chiichi Kamiya was also moved.
The old man nodded slightly, "Long time no see, Lord Long … and Mr. Turtle."
"It's you!" Long Xiruo's face was full of disbelief, "Heaven's Will … 70th generation!"
…
"He's Heaven's Will 70th generation?" Ghost Baby looked at the old man in the pavilion in surprise and couldn't help but frown, "It's said that Heaven's Will 70th generation had died in order to eliminate the Long Sha … How could he be here?"
"This is Wangui Pagoda." Chiichi Kamiya seemed to understand something at this time. He looked at the old man in the pavilion and frowned, "Heaven's Will 70th generation, now you're just a ghost."
The old man in the pavilion nodded, "Just as Mr. Turtle said, now I'm just a lonely ghost."
"You're actually not completely dead …" Long Xiruo took two steps forward, "That year, after stabilizing the Dragon Vein Riot, I rushed to the battlefield immediately, but all I saw was your corpse. I couldn't find any aura … So you hid here with Xiao Shengmo?"
The old man in the pavilion … Heaven's Will 70th generation shook his head, "Not entirely. That year, after eliminating the Long Sha, my life was indeed cut off. My soul drifted outside and gradually dissipated. It was City Lord Xiao who saved me. He kept a wisp of my soul in Wangui Pagoda and nourished it with the ghost qi in Wangui Pagoda every day. Now dozens of years have passed, and I gradually woke up. "
"Heaven's Will 70th generation, since your soul is still here, why didn't you show up all these years?" Chiichi Kamiya asked puzzledly.
Heaven's Will 70th generation smiled bitterly, "On one hand, my soul is very weak. These dozens of years have been muddle-headed. Thanks to City Lord Xiao's help, I've recovered a bit recently. On the other hand … The Long Sha incident was caused by my evil disciple. I'm really ashamed to face Chellona and the Daoist and Daoist Realms. Now that I've survived, I'm already blessed by the heavens. How can I have the face to show up? "
Gui Qianyi heaved a long sigh.
Long Xiruo said indifferently, "That year, you risked your life to eliminate the Long Sha. Even though it brought disaster, it can be said that your merits offset your demerits. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Let's not talk about the past." Heaven's Will 70th generation shook his head, then said seriously, "I'm in Wangui Pagoda. I'm indebted to City Lord Xiao and can know everything in the outside world … Lord Long, your situation isn't too good. If possible, please listen to me. Going too far is as bad as falling short. You'll get to let it go. "
"You don't have to care about my matters." Long Xiruo snorted coldly. "Why did you lead me here?"
Heaven's Will 70th generation was silent for a moment. "Lord Long, do you know the origin of my Plain Clothes Dao?"
Long Xiruo muttered, "The Plain Clothes Dao appeared mysteriously 2,000 years ago. They're proficient in the Mystic Sect physiognomy and can predict the heavens, the earth, and people. They don't miss anything. Every generation of the Plain Clothes Dao only has one official successor and has always been mysterious. However, when it comes to its origin … no one knows. It's strange. There are many people in the Dao World who know physiognomy, but they're not even 10 or 20 percent of the Plain Clothes Dao. Even I can't find your background. "
"Lord Long, can we talk alone?" Heaven's Will 70th generation suddenly said.
"Heaven's Will 70th generation, what do you mean?" Chiichi Kamiya frowned at that moment. Ghost Child also looked over with an unfriendly expression.
"There are some things that I can only talk to Shinryū alone. Mr. Turtle, I'm sorry." Heaven's Will 70th generation said faintly, "Please leave."
When this person was alive, he had an extremely important position in the Dao and Demon Realms of Chellona. Due to the Plain Clothes Dao's special ability, even the Xuanyuan Palace had to be courteous to him many times … Although the successors of the Plain Clothes Dao looked gentle and refined, the abilities of Feng Shui warlocks were too strange. No one knew when they would be plotted against if they offended these warlocks.
"Chiichi Kamiya, you and Ghost Child bring Agile to the house to rest." Long Xiruo waved her hand at that moment.
"Okay." Chiichi Kamiya had no choice but to obey.
…
When only Heaven's Will 70th generation and Long Xiruo were left in the pavilion, Heaven's Will 70th generation made an inviting gesture and let Long Xiruo come in and sit down.
"If the world knows that the great Shinryū of Chellona is now just a child, I don't know how chaotic the Dao and Demon Realms of Chellona will be." Heaven's Will 70th generation shook his head.
"You asked me to stay alone just to make fun of me?" Long Xiruo's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Heaven's Will 70th generation shook his head, "No … I didn't mean to make fun of Lord Long. I just mentioned this on purpose so that Lord Long won't be too surprised by what I said. Because I think Lord Long, who has seen that kind of power, can understand something. "
Long Xiruo was stunned. She lowered her head and pondered for a while. Suddenly, her face changed slightly, "Plain Clothes Dao, is it related to that place …"
"The founder of the Plain Clothes Dao actually didn't know anything about feng shui divination." Heaven's Will 70th generation slowly said, "In fact, all feng shui divination was researched by the later generations step by step … The successors of the Plain Clothes Dao only had two kinds of abilities, the most basic abilities. Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Will. But in fact, Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Will were not created by the Plain Clothes Dao. They were obtained from other places by the first person of the Plain Clothes Dao. "
Long Xiruo frowned, "Legend has it that the Plain Clothes Dao has Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Will. Heaven's Eye can see through the essence of things and Heaven's Will can see the past, present and future. Heaven's Eye is still okay … but Heaven's Will can see the future? How much did the first person of the Plain Clothes Dao pay to obtain this kind of ability from the hands of that profiteer! "
"Profiteer?" Heaven's Will 70th generation said in surprise, "Although I didn't come into contact with it personally, but according to the sect's secret records, it was mentioned … that place is a fair trade and never forced. It can even be said that the person who bought it is forced to pay more. Since that's the case, how can he be called a profiteer? "
"… Anyway, you don't have to care!" Long Xiruo snorted coldly. "I'm not here to discuss whether that fellow is a profiteer or not."
Heaven's Will 70th generation shook his head, not intending to argue … Long Xiruo inherited the power of Shinryū from Chellona, but most of the time, it was just that Long Xiruo's words were unpleasant to hear — almost the entire Chellona Daoist and Monster Realm knew this.
But in fact, this should be something to be happy about … at least, this Shinryū who controlled Chellona's most powerful power only had a sharp tongue and not a heart of steel.
"Let's talk about you." Long Xiruo controlled her temper and asked with a frown, "You said that Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Will were obtained from that place? That place already existed two thousand years ago? "
"In fact, I don't know how long that place has existed for." Heaven's Will 70th generation said, "Our sect's secret scrolls have very little information about that place, and most of it is just our own guess."
Long Xiruo shook her head, "You purposely led me into the Wangui Pagoda to meet you just to tell me this?"
"Lord Long, do you know where this place is?"
"Penglai?" Long Xiruo said with uncertainty — this place repeatedly appeared in her inherited memories, but there seemed to be some slight differences, so she was not sure.
"To be precise, this place is called Penglai Treasury." Heaven's Will 70th generation said seriously, "Penglai Treasury is modeled after the current Penglai. Moreover, the foundation of Penglai Treasury is Penglai. And the real Penglai … has already died. "
"Speak clearly." Long Xiruo was able to keep her composure.
"I don't know the exact reason." Heaven's Will 70th generation recalled, "This is what the previous generation, which is Heaven's Will 69th generation, told me … some of our sect's secrets are passed down by word of mouth every generation, and never left in the secret scrolls. Speaking of which, the matter of the Long Sha came suddenly, and before I left, I did not have time to pass down this matter to my sect's disciples … if not, the current Heaven's Will 71st generation would not have done such a stupid thing, to actually open the Penglai Treasury and trap Chellona's Daoist and Daemon Realm here. I'm afraid that the owner of this Penglai Treasury has already been alerted. "
Saying this, Heaven's Will 70th generation paused, looked at Long Xiruo, and said seriously, "Lord Long, the following matter is a secret of our Plain Clothes Sect. Now that the situation is serious, it is not the time to stick to the old rules, but I also hope that this matter is only known to Lord Long."
Long Xiruo nodded.
"The owner of this Penglai Treasury is not someone from Chellona Realm." Heaven's Will 70th generation said seriously, "In fact, it is not someone from our world … it is very likely to be an invader from outside the realm!"
"Outside the realm?"
"It is said that there are many worlds outside the realm, some are very similar to our world, some are very different."
Heaven's Will 70th generation said, "I also do not know the exact number. In the sect's warning, it only said that no matter what, the owner of the Penglai Treasury cannot be awakened. Actually, the Plain Clothes Sect has always known about Penglai … or the entrance to the Penglai Treasury, and also know how to open it. But these years, in order to comply with the sect's rules, every time during the Penglai Conference, we would appear as sacrificial offerings, to observe the entrance of the Penglai Treasury, to see if there is a leak. "
Long Xiruo could not help but laugh coldly, "No wonder you only let me know about this matter, I am afraid that if this matter was not leaked out, your coffin lid would be pried open … this Chellona Dao and Yao Realm, for the past two thousand years, they have been deceived by your Plain Clothes Sect! Everyone says that Jianghu practitioners are actually Jianghu liars, these words are not wrong at all! "
Heaven's Will 70th generation pretended not to hear, "The owner of the Penglai Treasury is an invader from our world, we definitely cannot let it awaken. But there are immortals in Penglai, this caused countless people in both Dao and Yao Realm to scramble like ducks … if not, this Penglai Treasury would be opened by someone sooner or later. If the owner of this Treasury were to awaken, I am afraid it would not be comparable to a Dragon Fiend Calamity … I hope Lord Long can understand us. "
"Then should I give you a Chellona Outstanding Contribution Award? And then praise your hard work? "
"Lord Long, don't mock us anymore." Heaven's Will 70th generation laughed bitterly.
But he also understood that his sect had deceived the Dao and Yao Realms of Chellona for a full two thousand years, if it was anyone else who knew, they would probably explode with anger … for so many years, the Plain Clothes Sect had indeed received a lot of respect and courtesy from the Dao and Yao Realms.
"One question." Long Xiruo's face darkened, "If the owner of the Penglai Treasury is an invader from outside … then, how does your Plain Clothes Sect know this? And even know about Penglai and the Penglai Treasury? "
"Naturally, it is because the founder of the Plain Clothes Sect was also an invader from outside …" Heaven's Will 70th generation said faintly, "and back then, when he walked in the human world, he used the name … Xu Fu."
