Strange Records of Xijing

"Ghost Seal? Is it something used by the Ghost Emperor to give orders?" Pei Jingxing stood on the edge of the basin and asked.

"Basically," Su Yan replied, "There is no such thing as blood inheritance in the ghost world. Those who are capable live there, and the most powerful one is the ghost emperor."

This statement is new, but after thinking about it, it makes sense—where did the ghost come from?

Pei Jingxing asked again: "So as long as a ghost defeats the ghost emperor, that ghost will become the ghost emperor?"

"Well," Su Yan nodded, "I heard that the Ghost Emperor's reign can range from hundreds of years to thousands of years."

"have you seen?"

"No, I heard about it from the fox girl on the mountain before." Su Yan shook his head, "But Master seems to dislike Ghost Emperor very much. Master found out about this later, and the fox girl didn't dare to go back to the mountain for several years."

To explain why Pei Jingxing suddenly mentioned Guixi, the matter had to start before a cup of tea.

Because the troops had to be divided into two groups, Gao Zekai asked Pei Jingxing for details.

"Master later found out in an ancient book that the curse like eyes on your backs can only be removed with a ghost seal."

"Guixi?" Pei Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "Why have I never heard of it from you?"

Gao Zekai coughed twice in embarrassment, and then continued: "There were too many incidents on the road at that time, and it was too late to tell you in detail. In short, we must find the ghost seal to remove the curse on us."

Zhao Shimin rubbed his hands, and asked excitedly: "Master Gao, can the curse on my body be removed by finding the ghost seal?"

"Well," Gao Zekai nodded, "so we must find Guixi, the prince in Xijing is still waiting."

"Don't worry, I will definitely find it!" Zhao Shimin's energy has been going up and down during this period, and now his blood is clearly surging, and his voice is a little louder, "It's not too late, let's go!"

"Wait," Gao Zekai stopped him in time, and then said to Pei Jingxing, "According to the records in ancient books, the ghost seal is about the size of an adult man's palm, square and square, and on it is a basaltic writhing writhing ghostly spirit. Then The thing is a little mysterious, but you can tell it at a glance."

These words were also very mysterious, Pei Jingxing could only think of a general idea.

I don't know if Gao Zekai really only knew these things, or if he was hiding something else, but he only confessed these things, and after the confession, he led Zhao Shimin to set off first.

Pei Jingxing and Su Yan were not in a hurry to go down.

You must know that now they are occupying the advantage of the high ground, so they can see the situation below clearly.If you rush in recklessly and face those wandering corpses, your journey will not be smooth.

Su Yan noticed very early on that the consciousness of the souls in the bodies of these walking corpses was already very chaotic. They seemed to be driven by an invisible force, walking along the established route over and over again.Su Yan didn't know what that power was, but he knew that as long as the walking corpses were not allowed to discover their existence, the walking corpses would always follow the established route.

Well, if they figure out the action routes of the walking corpses below in advance and avoid them in advance, they can save a lot of time on the road—after all, they are now located in the east of this dead underground city, where Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin went The Hanyuan Hall and the Prince's Mansion are in the middle and the east, and the distance is relatively close, while the Xishou Palace and the Zhaixing Tower they are going to are all in the west, and there is still a lot of walking.

Su Yan was smart since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been sent down the mountain by his master at a young age. He almost has the ability of photographic memory, and after watching for a quarter of an hour, he memorized the route of the walking corpses in the north - where they are going Three of the four places are in the palace, and the imperial palace in Xijing is entrenched in the north, facing south.

"Let's go."

So this goes back to the beginning of this chapter.

With Su Yan's help, the two of them walked around those walking corpses all the way, and they didn't have to be afraid of attracting them when they whispered.

Speaking of Su Yan's master from Guixi, Pei Jingxing was obviously more interested in Su Yan's past, if not for the inappropriate time, he really wanted to hear more about Su Yan's stories about him in the mountains.

"Wait." Su Yan suddenly pulled Pei Jingxing back, and pointed to the front, "There is something."

Pei Jingxing tightened his hand holding the dragon-headed tiger-tooth spear, and looked in the direction Su Yan was pointing at. There were two statues of the Habayashi Army on horseback standing in front of the palace gate.

"This is?" Pei Jingxing didn't dare to underestimate these two statues—the ones that can alert Su Yan are definitely not ordinary statues.

Sure enough, after staring at it for a while, Su Yan noticed something strange.

"It should be a cursed puppet." Thanks to his longan, Su Yan could clearly see the resentment flowing from the two statues, "I said why the resentment here has been accumulated for at least 30 years, and it is still so peaceful. , We strangers broke in and nothing happened, so that's how it is."

"how?"

"I don't know why the abolished prince moved the layout of Xijing here, but all the grievances in this underground are gathered in the north, that is, inside and outside the palace. These statues are cursed, and the grievances generated by the walking corpses will be channeled to them, so that the spells on them will never fail. Once strangers approach, these statues will come to life, and hunt down those strangers who dare to break into this place, until they die. Not only palace gates and city walls In fact, there is still a strong resentment in the palace."

Finally arrived here, but was blocked by this resentment, Pei Jingxing couldn't help being anxious: "Then what should we do?"

Su Yan was confident, he took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his bosom, and took out a brush pen, dipped the tip of the pen on his tongue a few times, and then swiped it on the talisman paper.

Su Yan put away the writing brush, bit his finger and tapped on the talisman paper three times, then folded it and handed it to Pei Jingxing: "Take this thing with you, and the yang energy in your body will be hidden."

After the yang energy was hidden, the evil spirit on Pei Jingxing's body became the best protective coat, making these walking corpses and statues mistake him for the same kind.

Pei Jingxing believed in Su Yan deeply, without any hesitation, he took the paper talisman handed over by Su Yan, and carefully hid it close to his body.

Sure enough, under the influence of Su Yan's talisman paper, Pei Jingxing and Su Yan passed through the palace gate smoothly.

It's just that they passed the first hurdle, and the two didn't relax their vigilance because of this success.After passing through the palace gate, the two rushed towards Xishou Palace first.

When Pei Jingxing and Gao Zekai decided where to go, he was actually selfish.

Both the prince and him have the same pattern of eyes, and no matter who is among the four, they all want to find the ghost seal.But Zhu Baotoad, who can restore Su Yan's eyesight, is actually not within the scope of consideration of Gao Zekai and Zhao Shimin, at least they will not spend their thoughts and efforts on Su Yan.

Just like the jade seal is to the emperor in the world, the ghost seal symbolizes the supremacy of the ghost emperor in the ghost world. Such a special thing, of course the abandoned prince will put it in a place with special meaning.

The Hall of Hanyuan is the place where the emperor listens to the government and the center of power in the world; and the abolished prince's mansion is the former residence of the abolished prince. If the abolished prince ascends the throne one day, then the abolished prince's mansion will become a hidden residence, which also has important significance.If nothing else, Guixi should be in one of these two places.

Although the Xishou Palace is a place for storing treasures, and the Zhaixing Tower is the highest place in the entire underground city, the ghost seal is not an ordinary treasure, and there is no need to put it on a high place to ask the blessings of the gods, so it is unlikely to be placed here two places.On the contrary, it is very likely that Zhubao toad is in Xishou Palace.

Because of this, even though Xishou Palace and Zhaixing Building were far away from them, Pei Jingxing agreed without any hesitation.

Unlike outside the palace, there are not so many tall pillars used to hold flames. Pei Jingxing and Su Yan can only rely on the pearl light above their heads to illuminate the path under their feet.People yearn for the light, and based on this alone, Pei Jingxing can feel the resentment wandering secretly in the palace, not to mention Su Yan.

There was no shadow of a walking corpse in the palace, but ten steps away stood a statue of the Habayashi Army riding a horse. The two ends of the ridge that should have been standing on the ridge of the palace were replaced by beasts and gluttons. It is full of portraits of Yasha cannibalism.Pei Jingxing was lucky enough to be in the imperial palace. Regardless of season, the imperial palace is always full of flowers, even a random path or a corner is decorated with vibrant flowers.But here, all you can see along the way are black and crooked dead trees with sparse dead leaves on them, but you can occasionally see blooming red flowers, which become the only vivid color in the dark and cold —It's really chilling.

"Here we are." Pei Jingxing looked up at the three words "Xishou Palace" written in the big seal script, and told Su Yan that they had arrived at their destination.

"Be careful." Su Yan tugged at Pei Jingxing's sleeve, "Let me do it."

Perhaps it was because the "Imperial Palace" was full of resentment, so that with the help of Longan, Su Yan was able to act like ordinary people.

I saw him draw out the mahogany sword he was carrying on his back, pinched a sword formula with his left hand, recited a few words silently, then threw his right hand upwards, and softly shouted: "Go!"

The mahogany sword circled twice in the air and flew straight towards the gate of Xishou Palace.

The mahogany sword collided with the gate of Xishou Palace, and there was only a loud bang. The gate of Xishou Palace unexpectedly flashed a burst of green light from the inside to the outside, and then the green underworld fire burst out from the ground, and in an instant, Xishou Palace's gate flashed green light. The gate of the Shou Palace was devoured.

Su Yan recalled the peach wood sword, and took out three talisman papers from his bosom. With a flick of his wrist, the three talisman papers flew towards Minghuo in the shape of a character.

The talisman disappeared into the underworld fire in a blink of an eye. Su Yan chanted a few more incantations. Two streams of ashes rose from the underworld fire, quickly climbed up in the air, and gathered together in a meandering manner, forming one taller than the other. arc.

"Someone connected this place with the Yellow Spring. As long as it touches it, the underworld fire in the Yellow Spring will rise immediately, and burn the person and the door together." Su Yan retracted the mahogany sword and explained to Pei Jingxing, "From the two ashes If you pass through the middle, you won’t be afraid of being burned by the fire.”

Pei Jingxing patted Su Yan's shoulder with one hand to stop the latter's movement: "I'll go in first."

Su Yan thought for a while, but did not refuse: "Okay."

To Pei Jingxing's surprise, there was no ambush or trap inside, as if the person who set up such a vicious scheme on the gate of Xishou Palace had calculated that no one would be able to pass through the gate, so he confidently did not stay behind. After the move.

If it is the Xishou Palace in Xijing, it will definitely be full of treasures.However, the strength and financial resources of the abandoned prince cannot be compared with that accumulated by more than a dozen generations of emperors. The Xishou Palace here is just a show.

I don't know if he was lazy when building the Xishou Palace, or the abandoned prince didn't know the layout of the Xishou Palace, so he simply imitated the layout of the Xishou Palace, but the inside was empty and empty.Standing at the gate of Xishou Palace, you can see the whole Xishou Palace clearly - except for the four walls, there is nothing.

It was a bad start, and nothing was found where Zhu Baotoad was most likely to be found. Pei Jingxing couldn't help but feel a little anxious - what should he do if there is no Zhaixing Tower?He didn't expect Gao Zekai or Zhao Shimin to find out with a conscience, and specially pay attention to the traces of Zhu Baotoad for Su Yan.

But if he only cared about being anxious, then he wouldn't be Pei Jingxing.

"It's hard to come in, maybe there is a hidden compartment inside, let's look for it."

Pei Jingxing deliberately didn't mention Zhu Baotoad, but groped along the wall together with Su Yan.

In the end, they really found something.

There is a black skull in the corner.
