"Can we escape?" Xiao Wu looked hesitantly at Bai Li who was squatting outside to pick the lock of the golden birdcage door.

Full of confidence, Bai Li replied without raising his head, "Of course, I'm a skilled worker."

Back then, when he was still a fox cub, he would often run away from home, ah no, it was to escape from the clutches of the clutches.It can be said that the owner of Mingsha Palace does not have a clear understanding of the various routes extending in all directions from Mingsha Palace.

With a "click", the fist-sized lock was pried open.

"Let's go." Bai Li opened the door of the birdcage, grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and walked towards a wall on the left side of the palace.He groped on the wall for a while, then knocked a few bricks, and then the wall parted, revealing a three-foot-wide passage.

With a glance at the endless passage, it was dark, and Xiao Wu was still hesitating when Bai Li pulled him in.

After stepping in, the wall behind him closed again, and a row of lanterns lit up on both sides of the passage.

Xiao Wu was startled by this sudden change, and stared at the lantern emitting a faint blue light with wide eyes.

Thinking that Xiao Wu was interested in these lanterns, Bai Li kindly introduced them to her, "This is the Qinglong Lantern, the wick is made of Longyue grass, and the oil is made of Qingjiao oil. Lighting up the Qinglong Lantern can be a blessing for the souls of the dead. Guiding the way, it also has the effect of reassuring the soul, so it is very popular among ghost cultivators."

"Ghost?!" My heart, which was about to calm down, jumped even more joyfully after hearing Bai Li's explanation.Xiao Wu had a pale baby face, and tightly clutched Bai Li's sleeves.

However, as a local resident of the small world of comprehension, Bai Li still cannot understand modern people's fear of ghosts even though he has been smuggled into the modern universe for more than ten years.

He smiled and said, "Yes, ghost cultivators can be roughly classified into two categories. One is monks whose body is damaged by accident and then turns into ghost cultivator. Embark on the path of cultivation and become a ghost cultivator."

But Xiao Wu didn't want to hear what he said at all, so he tugged on Bai Li's sleeve, and Xiao Wu quietly looked around, asking in a low voice, "Is there a ghost here?"

"No." Bai Li said firmly, "This road leads to the mausoleums of the demon kings of all ages. But, as we all know, the replacement of a demon king is only when the new one kills the previous one to ascend to power. Which one of the previous demon kings has died so badly?" There is nothing left, how can there be a soul? This mausoleum is just a face project."

"Yes, that's right..." Xiao Wu reluctantly believed his words, but why did they go to the tomb of the demon kings of the past?

With that in mind, she asked the same question.

"The mausoleum is near the Black Forest, and there is a tunnel there that leads to the Black Forest." Bai Li explained.He originally took them through the dark forest, but he wanted to sneak into the center of Mingsha Palace through this tunnel.As a result, he was caught halfway, but had to use this road to escape...

"The Black Forest..." Xiao Wu murmured repeatedly, his eyes lit up, "Yes, Feifei is there, let's go find Feifei."

Bai Li nodded, thinking the same as her.As a self-aware fighting scum fox, he is well versed in the way of hugging his thighs.

The passage was narrow and stuffy, and in the relatively confined space, the footsteps of the two echoed constantly, as if someone was following them. Xiao Wu looked back vigilantly from time to time, with both hands tightly clutching Bai Li's sleeves, walking every inch Buli followed behind him.

The front suddenly became spacious, and the faint blue light was blindingly bright.

"arrive."

After hearing Bai Li's voice, Xiao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she suddenly felt a bit cold on the back of her neck.Turning around suddenly, a black shadow passed by in a trance.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Xiao Wu screamed, jumping up all of a sudden, holding Bai Li's head tightly with both hands, and sat on his shoulders.

For Xiao Wu, the safest place was Mo Zifei's shoulders, and when he got scared, he would instinctively jump on his shoulders.It's just that she is no longer a small and cute parrot. No matter how light the transformed girl is, she must weigh at least forty kilograms.This sudden blow almost broke Bai Li's waist.

"Crap! You are... calm." Squeezing out the words between his teeth, Bai Li hurriedly reached out to break her hand.He felt that his waist was not broken, but his neck was about to be strangled.

But the potential of the frightened girl should not be underestimated. Bai Li's cultivation level is only slightly higher than that of Xiao Wu, and he can't really hurt the other party.

"Hiss—" The girl's nails scratched the hairy ears during the dispute, and Bai Li's exquisite face was distorted immediately, and his face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or strangled.

"Calm down, there are no ghosts here!" Bai Li gritted his teeth to reassure him, but the other party didn't listen, the screams pierced his eardrums.Although the sound insulation effect here is good, and basically no one will come, it is not good for them to make such a big noise. It would be bad if they really exposed their whereabouts.

Not wanting to bear it any longer, Bai Li pinched a trick to make Xiao Wu's mouth shut, then bent down and dragged him down.

"Woooooo..." Xiao Wu couldn't open his mouth, squatted on the ground and gestured with his hands, his big black eyes were full of panic.If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't open her mouth, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

It's a pity that Bai Li couldn't understand the other party's feelings at all, he just thought that the little goblin was really timid, without even a ghost, she was already frightened into this appearance.

Sighing helplessly, "I didn't lie to you, there are really no ghosts here. Besides, even if there are, there is no need to be afraid. Ordinary ghosts who have not set foot on the path of cultivation, we can easily disperse them."

After a while, seeing her calm down a little, Bai Li said again, "Stop yelling, and I will unlock the forbidden words for you."

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Wu nodded aggrievedly.

"This is the mausoleum." Bai Li pointed to the rows of tablets, "Look, there's not even a coffin here, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

There are densely packed Qinglong lanterns hanging above the head, and the faint blue light envelopes the entire dome.

On the east side are the steps made of cold jade, on which there are neatly placed tablets, and the material looks like white marble.Some tablets have their names engraved on them, while others are bare with nothing written on them.However, these tablets all carry a coercion, some are strong and some are weak.

His eyes turned around the tablet, but Xiao Wu didn't dare to approach it.

"It is said that these tablets were made after the death of the demon kings of all dynasties, using their spines to be polished. The weakest one among them was also at the beginning of the tribulation stage."

Hearing Bai Li's explanation, the girl felt chills. How could anyone use the bones of the dead to make tablets? Is this considered an offering or an insult?

"Only the spine and blood essence can retain their spiritual power to the maximum extent. As for why they do this, I'm not very clear." Bai Li continued, "The most common theory is that the new Demon Lord wanted to prevent If the remnant soul of the previous demon king reincarnated or became a ghost cultivator, he would use the other party's bones to set up a magic circle to prevent all life."

"Is it because he is afraid that the other party is not dead, so he will come back to take revenge?" Xiao Wu understands a little bit, after all, it is dishonorable when he is in the top position, if the ex who was killed is not dead, and comes back to take revenge, it will be a big trouble.

Bai Li shook his head, "I said before that the change of the devil king is to kill the previous one. The devil cultivator has always respected his strength, and rarely uses conspiracy to seize the throne. So there is a problem here , since the new Demon Lord can kill the previous one, it means that at least at that time, the new Demon Lord is stronger than the previous one. A Demon Lord who is stronger and has many subordinates, you think, he will be afraid Is it the revenge of the defeated predecessor who came back?"

Frowning and thinking for a while, Xiao Wu thought it was impossible.She had only met Xie Fenshui, the demon lord, he acted arrogantly and rebelliously, he was not a timid person at all.Moreover, the demon cultivator itself is more wanton. It makes no sense that the demon kings of all dynasties would be timid and fearful.

"So there's another theory, that these tablets are used to suppress things down here." Bai Li stomped his feet meaningfully.

Xiao Wu asked in surprise and panic, "Is there a monster down here?"

"No, it's a spiritual vein."

There is a main spiritual vein under Ming Sha Palace, which nourishes this land, and the scattered spiritual energy makes the demon cultivators living here practice faster.But the spiritual veins are not continuous. It takes tens of millions of years to form a main spiritual vein, but it only takes about a thousand years to exhaust it.

There are quite a few demon cultivators entrenched here. Roughly speaking, the Ming Sha Palace has been established here for no less than a thousand years. It stands to reason that the spiritual energy consumed has already exceeded the burden of the spiritual veins.But in fact, the spirit vein has not been cut off.

"If the spirit veins are used up, will they have to move?" Xiao Wu felt that the amount of work was huge when he thought of demolishing so many palaces, "It's too troublesome."

Rolling his eyes, Bai Li had never seen such a silly goblin, "No need to move, just find a new spiritual vein and move it here. For example, Mingxuanzong, their spiritual vein was just changed more than 30 years ago. "

In addition, there are some crooked ways, he will not tell the silly parrot.For example, the Shanshui sect relies on depriving demon cultivators of their spiritual power to replenish their spiritual veins.

"Stop talking about this, let's go quickly." Bai Li pulled Xiao Wu to go to the secret passage on the west side.

After walking two steps, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a little cold all over her body, and touched the goosebumps on her arms. The faint light cast from the top cast an eerie light on her surroundings, and she felt terrified.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed in front of his eyes.

"Ghost ahh—" Xiao Wu couldn't help screaming again.

This time Bai Li saw it too, but he didn't notice any ghost aura.

Another sharp male voice said, "There is a ghost——"

Bai Li turned his head abruptly.

Wearing a black cloak, a pair of deep red eyes were exposed from the long hair that covered his head and face, and the beast-like vertical pupils were staring at them sullenly.A mouth full of blood, the upper and lower canine teeth are as sharp as knives, just looking at it seems like a burst of blood is rushing towards the face.

Unable to hold back, he also looked back at Xiao Wu, rolled his eyes, and lay dead with a bang.
