I played the world alone

Chapter 491 Weird Ancestral Hall (-in-)

"This is...a cultivator?"

Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted.

Even though the recovery of spiritual energy has been made public, and even a large-scale screening operation of students' spiritual roots was carried out some time ago, it has not officially started after all, and immortal cultivators are not common.

The few who do are within the control of the Special Operations Department and work for the country.

So much so that Xu Xun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when these people suddenly appeared.

"Minister, are these the reinforcements you invited?"

Zhu Qianqian looked at it curiously.

These people are quite strong, probably at the mid-stage of foundation building, and even she is no match for them.

Xu Xun shook his head. Currently, the immortal cultivators under official control are not very strong, so there is no need to get involved.

Just when they were guessing the other party's intention, the three people had already spoken.

Although I don’t want to say it’s too rude, it does seem like it’s easy for people to get defensive.

After finally controlling the flying sword to stabilize their figure, all three of them looked a little pale, with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and stared at the ground fiercely.

It's a very common one-liners.

"This must be Zhong Kui's tomb. No wonder it is so majestic..."

"clang……"

To put it bluntly, let alone the fact that he has not even learned the skills of his ancestors. Even if he has learned it, he can only change the sky by calling the wind and rain, without any lethality, just to look awesome.

The old man Cao next to him was dumbfounded, as if he had seen a fantasy.

I couldn't help but start to wonder, could it be that when the sect was passed down, everyone was used to saving some skills, so when it was passed down to me, I really only had this little ability left?

So when Xu Xun and others looked at him with suspicious eyes, he couldn't help but blush and cough twice.

Moreover, now he is even more curious about the mysterious man.

Furthermore, the faces of these people...

The three streams of light seemed to have hit an invisible copper wall and flew back with a scream.

However, at this moment, the sound of a copper bell shaking was suddenly heard.

"Mortals below, this place is destined for us, please leave quickly!"

Immediately, a cold sound was heard coming from inside the mountain. It was as loud as a bell and even made the ears of Xu Xun and others hurt.

Is the name of Wu Xianmen so big? The three immortal cultivators who looked very powerful were scared away as soon as they announced their names.

I just didn't expect it to appear so suddenly.

But as soon as these words came out, Xu Xun and others' expressions changed instantly.

Moreover, several people moved very quickly, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the tomb.

"Could it be... from the Witch Immortal Sect?"

"I don't know the specific situation..."

Judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem to be someone from the Xianxuan Sect that he often interacts with.

Thinking about it carefully, the other party seemed to have a similar reason for targeting the tomb robbers last time.

So these people just came uninvited.

Although they actually don't know who Zhong Kui is, they just read the lines according to the lines.

The three of them looked at each other, not daring to stay here any longer. They turned around and flew away at a faster speed, and lost sight of them in the blink of an eye.

As the serious and legitimate leader of the Witch Immortal Sect, how come he didn't know that he was so capable?

"Who! How dare you block the way of our Baixian Sect!"

"Get out! Otherwise, I will keep my life. Is it possible for you, the deceitful and robbers, to get your hands on the immortal's tomb?"

And it looks like it's coming in a big way.

Are you trying to steal something?

The possibility is not low, after all, the world is so big, there cannot be only one sect of cultivating immortals, the Xianxuan Sect.

Although Xu Xun had some doubts about whether the other party was hiding some secrets, such as a master's idea of ​​hiding in the city, he couldn't really inquire about it without being polite.

"Then why does he still come here?"

The other party didn't seem to be robbing the tomb, but wanted to protect this place.

As for Yueze, he did not notify them due to some concerns.

Xu Xun thought quickly in his mind.

The expressions of the three people suddenly changed.

"Is it someone from other immortal cultivating sects?"

"Damn, they really got there before us..."

Although I have been dealing with the Immortal Xuan Sect before, it does not mean that other immortal sects will not come here, it is just a matter of time.

"No matter what, let's go in and take a look. There will definitely be answers inside." Zhu Qianqian suggested.

This is what her own body said. With so many masters around her, she is not afraid of anything. She dares to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den.

After the battle just now, everyone continued to speed up their preparations and soon officially entered the mountain.

Xu Xun also chose to enter it personally this time.

But when they used their powers to enter it, they discovered that the mountain was actually hollow!

In other words, it seems that the entire mountain is formed based on the tombs in the center.

The surrounding soil and rocks strangely formed a huge oval-shaped hollow floating in the air, like a huge tunnel, leading to an unknown secret realm.

And on the ground in the center, a small ancient village actually appeared.

When they came here through the thick mud, they almost wondered if they had gone to the wrong place.

Turn on the flashlight, and the high lumen brightness will illuminate the entire surrounding area.

It also suddenly made everyone see clearly this small village that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

However, even after such a long time, the houses in this village have not been weathered or damaged, and even the trees in the village are still green and have lush branches and leaves.

It seems that they are still thriving during these thousands of years.

It's just that the fallen leaves on the ground have accumulated a thick layer, and they have gone through many cycles of spring and autumn.

"Click..."

A person's foot stepped on a dead branch covered by fallen leaves on the ground, and a harsh sound was heard in this lifeless environment.

Others were walking along this country road curiously, illuminating the surroundings with flashlights and looking around curiously.

"Why does it feel like a whole village has been moved here?"

"Yes, look, there are clothes being dried over there, as well as pickled vegetables and dried fish..."

It was full of life, making people wonder if there was anyone living here just a second before they entered.

"But the houses here seem to be quite big. They are so tall, they look like they are for little giants."

"There are also children's toys. But...do any children really like this kind of toys?"

The speaker is holding an ugly doll in his hand. It has the head of a bull and a big nose. It has a naive appearance. The color is also very underworld. It doesn't look very lovable. On the contrary, it may scare children. Cry.

"But I quite like it." It was Tian Fangrou who spoke.

She had flown out of Zhu Qianqian's body and was observing her surroundings.

She had a better perspective than others, so she saw more and noticed more strange places.

"So is it possible that the people living here are not human beings?"

"What else can it be if it's not a human being..." Others said subconsciously, but stopped immediately.

Apparently he thought of something strange.

"Since this is Zhong Kui's tomb, then maybe the people living here are not humans but ghosts?"

Some people directly expressed their guesses.

"Why does this sound so pervasive..." Zhu Qianqian got goosebumps and felt the cold wind blowing around her, so she subconsciously rubbed her arms.

Although Tian Fangrou is next to her, she is still very timid.

"But shouldn't this be a tomb? Why are these things...could they be the same burial objects as Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?"

"Look carefully, there should be clues here..."

Xu Xun's order reminded everyone of their purpose here, and they immediately became energetic and began to actively search for any possible clues.

For this reason, he even took the initiative to enter the houses in these villages, carefully guarding against possible unknown dangers, while rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and even looking at the contents of some pots and pans.

"There are still leftovers here, and the temperature is still there... It really seems like someone was sitting here eating not long ago."

"I have it here too, but this dish looks...well, how should I put it, it really doesn't taste like what we like to eat."

Although this village doesn't look big from the outside, it actually takes a lot of time to find it.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Xun heard someone shouting excitedly.

"Boss! Found the clue!"

When everyone rushed over together, they discovered that it was actually an ancestral hall in this village.

The person who discovered it was standing at the door of the ancestral hall, peeping through the ajar door, but he didn't dare to go in and looked panicked.

"What happened inside?"

Xu Xun couldn't help but wonder when he saw his appearance.

"Boss, please take a look for yourself, it looks weird..."

Xu Xun also looked in through the gap in the open door.

Just this glance made his eyes widen instantly and he was a little frightened.

I saw a huge old locust tree planted in the center, which completely covered the entire ancestral hall.

The locust tree is estimated to be at least a thousand years old, with lush branches and criss-crossing branches, so that even though the outside is lit up with many lights like daylight, the inside is still gloomy and dark, making people breathless.

But what is even more shocking is that hanging from the branches of the locust tree are corpses that appear to have been dried by red strings.

As the branches swayed inexplicably, it looked as weird and terrifying as the fruits growing on the tree. Just looking at it made people feel chills on their backs, and a chill went straight to the sky.

"Damn...I've never seen this kind of scene before..."

The people who saw it behind were also startled and subconsciously took two steps back.

Many of them are just ordinary people who have received superpowers and have not changed their mentality. They have never seen dead people a few times, let alone suddenly seeing such a strange sight.

Even Tian Fangrou looked solemn as never before.

"The yin energy here is so strong..."

"And have you seen those hanging things..."

"If I guess correctly, they are not humans, but ghosts."

With that said, she reached out and pushed open the door.

As the old wooden door creaked softly, the moment it was slowly opened, the corpses that had been hung up and swaying in the wind suddenly all turned around automatically, and their faces that looked like dried bacon were facing towards this side.

This strange scene scared many people to the point of trembling.

If they hadn't known that this was a closed environment, they would have probably turned around and fled.

"A group of cowards, what are you afraid of!" Tian Fangrou glared at them with disdain, "Didn't you see that these ghosts are all hanging by ropes? They have been sealed and cannot move freely at all."

Taking a closer look, I found that this was indeed the case.

Everyone's courage has returned a little.

But looking at those seeping things is still a little uncomfortable.

"So many...I'm afraid there are hundreds of them..."

"Did the whole village turn into ghosts?"

"Maybe a village was built specifically for these ghosts."

There was a lot of discussion, and finally someone had the courage to take a step and enter.

Sure enough, those corpses couldn't move at all, no matter how big their eyes were.

I can only watch them rummaging through things here.

There are various tablets of the deceased placed in the ancestral hall, and the number is far more than the number of corpses hanging outside.

At first glance, there are several densely packed rows, and there must be at least thousands of them.

But just when someone was about to reach out and touch the tablet above, a cold voice suddenly came from the door behind him: "Don't touch! Unless you want to destroy the seal here, or become a scapegoat."

The man was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.

Xu Xun and others looked back and saw the mysterious man who was dressed very strangely from before.

When the other party was speaking, he was holding a copper bell in his hand, as if he was ready to ring it at any time.

"Do you know the situation here?" Tian Fangrou slowly landed from mid-air and asked doubtfully.

The man did not answer her question directly. Instead, there was a golden light in his eyes, as if he was scanning her carefully, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"A century-old ghost..."

"It's rude to talk to a girl." Tian Fangrou said angrily.

The man didn't pay attention to her interruption, and continued: "I originally wanted to kill you, but I found that you have the aura of the underworld on your body. It seems that you have been recognized by the underworld, but I didn't notice you. Is there anything special about it..."

"Huh? Do you want to compete? See who is more powerful?" Tian Fangrou was not convinced.

She has been practicing harder and harder recently, just to become stronger, how can she be willing to be compared.

The man's eyes had already moved away from her.

"This is the place where Immortal Zhong Kui suppressed Gui Men Guan. These ghosts took advantage of problems in Gui Men Guan and ran out to cause trouble, but they were suppressed by the immortal."

Xu Xun asked: "So all the stories passed down by the Witch Immortal Sect are true?"

"At least it's true in this matter." The man completely ignored the presence of others and walked straight into the ancestral hall.

His eyes only moved from the hanging corpses one by one, and finally fell on the big locust tree.

"This locust tree is the mortal incarnation of the Great Immortal Zhong Kui. It guards this place and protects peace."
