Wonderland

"Huh?" When Xiao Lin was still dozens of feet away from the city gate, he suddenly felt an invisible force sweeping towards him.

It actually penetrated his body, making him feel a chilly air from the bottom of his heart, which was somewhat similar to the bone-penetrating wind.

"It's all Xia Fu's fault. I actually forgot that there are very few other cultivators coming to Luo Ghost Domain. Apart from ordinary mortals, most of the people who come and go are cultivators who have practiced ghost arts. Therefore, many cities here have been set up with ghost cold soul-grabbing arrays. This array will not cause harm to ordinary people, but for cultivators, it can continuously erode their souls. Of course, with Brother Xiao's current realm, even if this ghost cold soul-grabbing energy passes through his body, it will not affect him at all. But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Brother Xiao should put on this ghost robe."

After Xia Fu finished speaking, she took out two black robes from the star ring. Xiao Lin thanked her and took them. The black robes felt silky smooth to the touch, and no one knew what material they were made of.

After putting it on, Xiao Lin's entire body was wrapped in it, even his face was wrapped in the black mask.

Xiao Lin looked at Xia Fu in surprise. Xia Fu had just been walking beside him, but this ghostly cold soul-capturing energy didn't seem to have any effect on her. This made Xiao Lin's heart move, and a hint of enlightenment appeared in his eyes, as if he had figured out something.

The two entered the city. The surrounding shops were no different from other shopping malls. Apart from many mortals, there were also ghost monks covered in black robes.

The appearance of these ghost cultivators could not be seen clearly, but there was a cold and ghostly aura emanating from their bodies. Xiao Lin could not even sense any life from them.

Xiao Lin was surprised. He was not unfamiliar with ghost cultivators, but this was the first time he saw a ghost cultivator of a high level after his ascension. Not far in front of him, there was a ghost cultivator in the fusion stage. Xiao Lin not only felt the eerie ghost aura from him, but also felt unwilling to get close to him.

The ghost cultivator seemed to sense that someone behind him was paying attention to him, and he couldn't help but turn around. Two faint green lights shot out from his black robe, but he seemed to sense the unfathomable aura of Xiao Lin, and the two green eyes were instantly retracted. Then he bowed to Xiao Lin, then turned around and hurried away.

"The ghost cultivators have a keen sense of perception. If Brother Xiao stares at them, they will feel uncomfortable." Xia Fu's smiling voice came from the side.

"I was rude." Xiao Lin finally understood after hearing what he said, but staring at others was indeed a bit impolite. If it were him, he would probably be unhappy too.

"Brother Xiao, come with Xia Fu."

Xia Fu took Xiao Lin through several streets. Along the way, both mortals and ghost cultivators were extremely rare. Compared with the immortal cities that Xiao Lin had seen, it was much quieter.

Soon the two of them arrived in front of a palace gate. Above the palace were some strange characters. Xiao Lin took a quick look and was stunned as he did not recognize what was written on them.

"This is the ghost script, which has been passed down from ancient times. Many ghost skills and magical powers inherited from ancient times are recorded in this ghost script. Therefore, most ghost cultivators with a higher realm can recognize it. However, even in the ghost world, the spiritual script is circulated now. Only in some relatively ancient cities can the ghost script still exist."

Xiao Lin nodded, and then followed Xia Fu into the teleportation hall. There was only a teleportation array in the hall, and there were several guards in black robes.

After Xia Fu paid a few black spirit stones, the guard activated the teleportation array. Xiao Lin and Xia Fu walked into it. A black light flashed, enveloping the entire hall, and Xiao Lin and Xia Fu disappeared without a trace.

When Xiao Lin saw everything clearly, he found that he was still in a teleportation hall. Xia Fu threw another cloth bag to the guard next to him. After weighing it and confirming the number was correct, the guard immediately opened the teleportation array again.

Just like that, after three consecutive teleportations, the two finally appeared in a somewhat dilapidated town. This town was more like a small town than a city. The whole town was shrouded in gloomy fog and stood in a valley. On one side of the valley was the dark sea, and on the other side was an endless vast forest.

Xiao Lin and Xia Fu flew over the small town and looked at the vast mountains and forests ahead.

"Is this the Heavenly Ghost Mountain Range?"

"Yes, the Tiangui Mountains are the Holy Land of the Ghost Path, and together with the Guifeng Mountains of the Holy Moon Continent, they are known as the two major holy lands of the Ghost Path. However, these two holy lands are like water and fire, and they have been enemies for countless years. Even now, if a high-level ghost cultivator from the Guifeng Mountains encounters a high-level ghost cultivator from the Tiangui Mountains, they will most likely fight each other."

"Oh? Why is that? Even if there was some hatred between the two, countless years have passed and it should have faded long ago. Besides, in the spirit world, apart from the immortals and demons, and the irreconcilable racial conflicts, how could there be such a lasting hatred?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fu shook her head and said, "Xia Fu doesn't know the reason either. When Brother Xiao meets that strange man, maybe he can find out something from him."

"Fairy, now that we have arrived at the Tiangui Mountains, can't you tell me who that strange man is?" Xiao Lin suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fu fell silent. As her face was wrapped in a black robe, Xiao Lin could not see the change in her expression.

After a while, Xia Fu said quietly, "Brother Xiao, Xia Fu brought you here to help you get the Devil Fingering Order. I have no ill intentions. Don't you think you still don't believe Xia Fu?"

There was resentment in Xia Fu's voice, and her tone became weaker as she spoke. Xiao Lin even saw a little crystal light slipping gently from the black robe.

Xiao Lin was shocked and said hurriedly: "Fairy, you misunderstood. I have no doubts, but..."

"Hey, fairy, please lead the way." Xiao Lin sighed softly and spoke.

Xia Fu said, "Xia Fu thanks Brother Xiao for his understanding. Although Xia Fu cannot reveal the name of that strange man, I can assure Brother Xiao that I have no ill intentions in this trip. It is indeed to help Brother Xiao obtain the Demon Fingering Order so that he can return to the Holy Moon Continent."

After saying that, Xia Fu performed the escape technique and shot towards the vast mountain forest first. Xiao Lin waved his sleeves and followed closely behind.

Using their escape skills, they flew for several days, and they didn't know how many tens of thousands of miles they had flown. The mountains ahead were bare, without a single blade of grass growing on them. Both the rocks and the ground were pitch black, and the mountains and forests were filled with gray mist, and emitted a cold breath.

There was not a single living creature on the vast land, and there was nothing around except the terrifying silence.

Xiao Lin was also secretly surprised. In such an environment, let alone ordinary cultivators, even a top-level cultivator like him would not be able to stay here for long. This kind of loneliness and silence was enough to drive a person crazy.

I really don’t know what kind of person that strange person is. He actually built a place for cultivation in such a place.

As if seeing Xiao Lin's confusion, Xia Fu said beside him: "This Tiangui Mountain is boundless, but there are dozens of ghost sects, and they are all very powerful ghost sects. However, the ghost sects usually build their mountain gates next to the Taiyin Xuanmai, so we can't see any people. In fact, there are countless ghost cultivators hiding in this Tiangui Mountain Range."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Lin nodded slightly, but his curiosity was even stronger. Since there were so many ghost cultivators in the Tiangui Mountains, it was impossible for the two of them not to be discovered by the ghost cultivators if they performed escape techniques so blatantly and shuttled between the mountains.

But in the past few days, not only was there no ghost cultivator who stopped them, but they couldn't even see the shadow of a ghost cultivator.

Xiao Lin did not ask the question in his mind, but kept his curiosity in his heart.

After flying for a few more days, Xiao Lin saw a huge mountain appearing in front of him. The mountain was probably more than ten thousand feet high, and it covered an area of ​​a thousand miles. This was the first time Xiao Lin had seen such a majestic mountain in all his cultivation.

"We're finally here. That mountain is Tiangui Mountain." Xia Fu said with a hint of excitement in her tone.

A moment later, the two arrived in front of Tiangui Mountain, which further highlighted the height of the mountain. Standing in front of it, the two seemed as small as two ants.

"Could that strange man be on this mountain?" Xiao Lin raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain. It was still shrouded in gray fog and he could not see the top of the mountain.

Xia Fu shook her head. She took Xiao Lin and pressed the escape light, and actually arrived at a height of hundreds of feet, in front of the mountain wall.

Xia Fu took out a strange token, then closed his eyes and chanted an obscure spell. After a moment, a gray light shone from the token, and then a gray hazy light shot out and hit the mountain wall.

The mountain wall suddenly began to become illusory, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, replaced by a door-shaped cave.

"Brother Xiao, please follow Xia Fu." After Xia Fu said this, she took the lead and walked inside.

Xiao Lin didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed Xia Fu into the cave. The cave was very spacious, several feet high and three feet wide. The walls of the cave were smooth. Every few feet, there was a long-burning lamp with a green flame burning inside, illuminating the entire cave in a green color.

After walking for about a few miles, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they found themselves in a mountain belly that was similar to a square.

The mountain seemed to be dozens of miles in size, and the surrounding rock walls were very smooth. In addition, strange words were engraved on the rock walls, so densely packed that they almost covered the entire rock walls.

Countless caves of about ten feet in size were dug out on these rock walls, but these caves were only a few feet deep. Inside the caves, there was a man in a black robe sitting cross-legged.

As the two entered the belly of the mountain, none of these black-robed people looked up at them, which made Xiao Lin begin to doubt whether these black-robed people were alive. Xiao Lin made a rough estimate and thought that there were probably hundreds of them.

What's more important is that Xiao Lin not only couldn't sense any life from these black-robed men, but also couldn't sense any ghostly fluctuations. This meant that these black-robed men were either dead or at a very high level, at least not lower than himself.

What shocked Xiao Lin was not the black-robed people in the caves, but the huge statue in front of him. The statue was a thousand feet tall and looked like a huge skull. The eye sockets and mouth of the skull were all huge black holes, exuding a cold aura.

"Brother Xiao, follow me." Xia Fu didn't even look at the black-robed men around him, but took Xiao Lin towards the huge skeleton statue.

When the two were still hundreds of feet away from the skull statue, an old voice suddenly rang out from the belly of the mountain: "Naughty girl, you still remember to come back? You've been gone for thousands of years, and you still remember to come back."

Along with the sound, green flames suddenly burned in the two huge eye sockets of the skeleton statue. The moment the flames rose, an astonishing aura suddenly spread out. When enveloped by this aura, even Xiao Lin showed a look of horror.

He actually felt an aura from this person that he felt he could not contend with.

But this momentum disappeared immediately after it appeared.

In front of the statue, eight people in black robes appeared silently. They slowly lifted the black robes covering their heads, revealing eight different faces, both male and female, old and young.

Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at the face of one of the women with a horrified expression.

"Welcome to the arrival of Master Ghost~~"

"Welcome to the arrival of Master Ghost~~"

The eight people knelt on one knee, saluted the statue, then bowed and shouted.

"Welcome to the arrival of Master Ghost~~"

The black-robed men on the surrounding rock walls suddenly stood up one after another, and then, like the eight men, they knelt on one knee, facing the direction of the statue, and began to kneel and shout.

"Get up." The old voice sounded again.

While Xiao Lin was being surprised, Xia Fu beside him knelt on one knee and said, "Disciple Xia Fu, hello to the Master."

"You are naughty again. You don't even want to show your true face in front of the master?" The old voice sounded again, and on the skeleton statue, an old man holding a skeleton cane appeared silently. The old man had white hair and beard, a face like a red date, and wore a linen robe. He looked like an immortal, but his eyes sparkling with green light made him look a bit ghostly.

"Master." Xia Fu immediately showed an anxious expression when he heard this.

But before he could finish, Xiao Lin beside him sighed softly and said, "Mo'er, you don't need to hide Xiao Lin anymore, just show your true face."

"Ah~~"

Xia Fu was stunned when she heard this. She seemed to have never expected that even her master, Ghost Master, could not see through her ability to change her appearance with the Ghost Transformation Technique. How could Xiao Lin see through it so easily? (End of this chapter)
