Chapter 142 Ghost Palace!
The procession of the bride-to-be was not moving very fast.
Jiang Ran and others followed easily.
But the more they followed, the more they felt like the group in front of them didn't look like living people.
Although at first glance, he behaves just like ordinary people.
But if you look closely, you can see that their joints are very stiff.
The legs are straight, and there is some back-bending movement, but the amplitude is very small.
And the movements are too uniform.
It seemed that after receiving a certain instruction, everyone started to make the same action.
When they stopped to check before, they all turned around at the same time.
Then he left in an orderly manner without any unnecessary movements.
The most important thing is... Until now, Jiang Ran could only hear the sound of gongs and drums.
Not a single breath or heartbeat was heard.
"Could it be...really a group of dead people?"
Jiang Ran touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Luo Qingyi frowned slightly:
"Master, there are no dead people in this world that you can touch."
Jiang Ran nodded and agreed with this sentence.
Although as a time traveler, you should actually believe in some ghosts and gods.
After all, as a modern person, he can travel to this kind of martial arts world, so why can he not believe in ghosts and gods?
But Jiang Ran just didn't believe it...
Especially when he was in the Jianghu, he would rather believe that people's hearts are sinister than that of ghosts and gods.
"Who knows if there is..."
Li Tianxin couldn't help but murmured in a low voice at this time:
"If you really want to continue chasing, what should you do if you catch up to some weird place?
"Jiang Ran... you His martial arts skills are high, so he can easily deal with people.
"But if you are facing any monsters, it's hard to tell."
Ruan Yuqing lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.
He just held on to his sword tightly, with the intention of drawing out his sword if he had any disagreement.
"Even if I really catch up to the Palace of Hell today, I still want to satisfy my curiosity."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"It is definitely not a normal person to act in such a cunning way.
"Maybe it's a big fish, let's see first Let's see...but you'd better not follow me.
" This is naturally impossible. " Ruan
Yuqing said calmly:
"I stay by your side just to protect you. How can I abandon you and let you go to danger?"
Li Tianxin sighed: "
Okay, okay, you are all brave." Then I'll go with you..."
Mr. Da is really like a transparent person.
Standing aside, he doesn't even bother to record it.
He just watches quietly and waits...
The two sides stepped forward. After a while, the further we walked, the more remote and secluded the surrounding area became. The trees gradually became denser, blocking out the sky and the sun. Even the moonlight could not penetrate, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers. Fortunately, there was that faint green in front of us
. The light and the incessant sound of gongs and drums
prevented Jiang Ran and the others from getting lost.
After walking like this for a while, Jiang Ran Yue walked at least another ten miles of mountain road.
The sound of gongs and drums in front suddenly stopped. came down.
Everyone looked up and saw that there was a huge open space deep in the forest, and a small town was built. The
gate of the town was wide open, allowing people to pass through.
Looking up, they could see three Big words: Wujian Town!
"Wujiang Town... Wujian Hell!" ?
Li Tianxin's face turned slightly pale: "Jiang Ran, you don't want to go in, do you? " "
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment.
You can enter this town. The only problem is that they are not from here. I am afraid that
there will be some trouble as soon as they enter the town.
The only thing to be happy about is that there is no one in this town at this time. .
Lanterns were hung in every house, and the flames of the lanterns also had the same faint green light.
The procession to receive the bride marched straight in, directly into Wujian Town.
At the same time, the sound of crying suddenly came from the eight-carrying sedan:
" What is this place?
"Help...Help!"
This was a woman's cry, her voice full of panic and fear.
What shocked Jiang Ran the most was that when the sound came out, Jiang Ran discovered that the sound of a heartbeat suddenly came from the sedan.
It was as if there was only a dead person in the sedan, but after crossing this threshold, the person suddenly became alive!
"What's going on?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, then asked:
"Is there any martial arts like turtle breathing in this world?"
"Of course there is..."
Ruan Yuqing answered Jiang Ran while trying to gather her energy. , while staring at the three words 'Wu Jian Zhen', his brows furrowed.
Jiang Ran pondered slightly and looked at Mr. Da beside him:
"Mr. Da, have you ever heard of this place?"
Mr. Da shook his head slightly and said,
"I've never heard of it."
"Are you lying to me?"
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Da laughed dryly: "It is true that I have never heard of it, and I don't know what is going on. Although Wenmo Pavilion knows a lot of things, it is impossible to keep everything under control. Otherwise, I don't have to follow you. Really?"
Jiang Ran knew that he really couldn't get anything good out of Mr. Da.
After pondering for a while, he said:
"I plan to go into the town to explore. It is unpredictable here, so you should not follow me."
After saying that, he swayed, and everyone saw that he was already there in a flash. He disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the city wall of Wujian Town.
Luo Qingyi followed Jiang Ran without thinking.
Mr. Big is also following suit.
It was the time between Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing again, but this time, before Li Tianxin could even express his position, Ruan Yuqing had already flown away.
Li Tianxin gritted his teeth:
"Why are all of them so insistent?"
Finally, he looked at Wujian Town and took a deep breath:
"...You can't just watch me die, can you?"
After saying these words, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the determination to live towards death.
He swayed and chased after him.
The group stopped outside the walls of Wujian Town.
Jiang Ran looked back and saw that no one was missing.
He couldn't help but
feel happy, and said softly: "Be careful, everyone depends on their ability."
After saying this, he stepped on the foot, and the nine steps of Tianqian came out.
The figure turned into overlapping shadows, all the way up.
But in the blink of an eye, he had already jumped over the city wall.
Luo Qingyi has three skills, one is Qinggong, the other is boxing, and the last one is the family heirloom clothes he wears.
His Qinggong is still superior to Jiang Ran's.
At that time, in Cangzhou Mansion, he sent a message to Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran found him and chased him out.
If his internal strength wasn't inferior to Jiang Ran's, maybe Jiang Ran wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
The performance at this time was really powerful, even much easier than Jiang Ran's Heavenly Stem Nine Steps.
As a master of Shuiyue Sword Sect, Ruan Yuqing is naturally extraordinary.
She was light and ethereal, with graceful posture. With her sleeves fluttering, she had already landed next to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran looked up at this moment and saw a figure falling from the sky, with his toes just a little bit on the ground, not even a speck of dust was stirred up.
It's Li Tianxin!
Jiang Ran glanced at him in surprise:
"I've never seen you use Qing Kung in the past."
"There are many things you haven't seen before."
Li Tianxin snorted: "I've always kept it hidden. "
Jiang Ran looked at him carefully, but couldn't see where he was hiding.
After waiting for another two breaths, Mr. Big was not seen.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran said,
"No wait... Mr. Da is not with us after all. He might not be planning to come in. Let's go.
" I had already seen where the sedan was going. "
Okay." "
As the saying goes, make peace with what you have come.
Before coming in, I went through all kinds of psychological struggles. After actually coming in, I felt a lot calmer.
Under the leadership of Jiang Ran, the group headed towards the location of the eight-carriage sedan. Rush there.
There is really no sign of anyone all the way here.
A moment further, I see the team that is welcoming the bride, arriving in front of a palace. They
pass through the gate and go all the way in.
Jiang Ran and others are about to catch up, when they hear There was a bang.
The door was closed directly.
Jiang Ran and others looked at each other and without hesitation, they immediately flew up and crossed the outer wall of the palace. When they stepped
inside again, they were trapped in narrow alleys. Inside.
The walls of the narrow alley are dark red, with golden patterns engraved on them.
"This..."
Luo Qingyi frowned slightly: "What is this place?
"Did you see the name of this palace clearly when you were outside? " Li
Tianxin asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing shook her head and was about to speak when she heard Jiang Ran say:
"This is called...Ghost King's Palace!"
"Ghost Palace? " Ruan
Yuqing frowned: "Why does it sound familiar..."
"Have you heard of it?" Jiang
Ran asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing nodded, but then shook his head:
"I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember it." "
Jiang Ran pondered slightly, and suddenly a thought came to his mind. He was about to reach out to catch Ruan Yuqing.
Suddenly he heard Luo Qingyi yell angrily:
"Who is that person? "
Is there anyone?
Jiang Ran was stunned, why didn't he hear it?
He saw Luo Qingyi flying away, clenching his fists, roaring to the end of the alley, and shouted angrily:
"Where to go! ?
Jiang Ran thought together: "
No... don't chase!" "
He moved forward and walked quickly. However, when he came to the alley, Luo Qingyi had disappeared. He
immediately flew up and looked around.
It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air like this.
However, there were two places on the left and right. , are all narrow alleys, but there is no trace of Luo Qingyi.
He was condescending and quickly turned back to look at Ruan Yuqing and Li Tianxin.
Only to find that Ruan Yuqing was still standing there, but Li Tianxin had no shadow...
"Where is Li Tianxin? "
Jiang Ran jumped back and asked quickly.
Ruan Yuqing looked at Jiang Ran strangely:
"Young Master Li is right here.
She pointed to the empty space and asked Jiang Ran:
"What's wrong with you? " Can not you see? "
Jiang Ran let out a breath and stretched out his hand to hold Ruan Yuqing's wrist. As soon as his
mind changed, Ruan Yuqing's eyes suddenly flashed with confusion. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was still standing. Next to him, Li Tianxin, holding a knife and waving his hands in front of Jiang Ran's eyes, disappeared like a cloud of smoke! "
This..."
Ruan Yuqing's face changed:
"Ghost Palace! !
"This is the 'Ghost Wall' of the Ghost Palace!"
"Ghost Wall?"
Jiang Ran looked at Ruan Yuqing and said, "Have you remembered the situation in the Ghost Palace?" Ruan Yuqing nodded repeatedly:
"
I think I was obsessed just now. Blinded by the ghost wall, I forgot all the rumors about the Ghost Palace...
"However, even if I think about it, there are very few rumors about this place.
"All I know is that there is a Ghost King sitting in the Ghost King's Palace.
"The Ghost King's martial arts are unfathomable, and he seems to be inextricably linked to the Wuxin Ghost Mansion.
"According to people who claimed to have escaped from the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Palace is shrouded in a wall of obsessed ghosts.
"When you step into it, you will be trapped in a ghost realm, and everything you see and hear is both real and illusory.
"Therefore, you can't believe what you see with your eyes, and you can't believe what you hear with your ears.
"Only in this way can there be a chance of escaping from the Ghost Palace. "
What a fascinating ghost wall..."
Jiang Ran sneered:
"It's just some evil arts that act on the spirit. I'm very familiar with this method."
Jiang Ran will never forget the scene in the Tang family that day, no matter how long it takes.
The feeling of not being able to see Mount Tai with a blind eye is just like what Ruan Yuqing said just now. It seems that I have heard of it, but something seems to have stopped me and I just can't remember it.
It was also because of this thought that Jiang Ran wanted to use the Zhengxin Sutra to help her eliminate illusions and preserve reality.
As a result, Luo Qingyi was fascinated by this illusion first.
But...what happened to Li Tianxin?
Did he disappear in front of Ruan Yuqing?
Was it a plot by the agency, or was someone here just now?
Jiang Ran guessed that it was probably the former.
If it was the latter, there was no way Jiang Ran wouldn't notice it at all.
He thought for a moment and said to Ruan Yuqing:
"Now that we are here, we have to figure out the matter of the Ghost Palace.
" But before that, we have to do another thing.
" What's the matter? " Ruan
Yuqing asked.
Jiang Ran glanced at the golden pattern on the wall beside him and said softly:
"The pattern on this wall may be the key, just like the murderous sticker, which can make people fall into an illusion that seems real and fake. among.
"My Creation Zhengxin Sutra is the nemesis of this kind of method.
"Even Shi Pingzhang's murderous heart stickers and chaotic heart funeral stickers have no effect on me.
"And now I have two ways to eliminate this method...
" One is to correct the heart.
"It's just that the Zhengxin Finger works for a while. I don't know if you will fall into this illusion again. At the same time, I can't guarantee to observe your state all the time. "The other kind
is like now... I always Engraved with the inner power of the Right Heart Sutra of Creation to keep your mind right.
"It's just that you and I have to hold each other like this."
"Hold..."
Ruan Yuqing then remembered that Jiang Ran was still holding her hand.
His face suddenly turned red.
After hesitating for a moment, he said,
"The Zhengxin Finger is the fingering method you use to remove the Killing Heart Demon Sticker for me?"
"Exactly."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Ruan Yuqing was silent for a moment:
"Let's hold it for now... I'm not worried that this obsessed ghost wall will take me away.
"What if it shows me that you are an opponent and finally draws its sword against you.
"That would be very troublesome.
"We are in danger now, and we can avoid any trouble. Jiang
Ran nodded: "I think so too, I'm just worried that you think I'm taking advantage of you."
"... Just take it, I'm almost used to it. "
Ruan Yuqing sighed:
"First I was teased by your words, and now it's skin-to-skin contact. "
"I tell you, you are not allowed to tell others these things, otherwise, where will my Roushuijian's face be?" "
Holding hands is considered skin-to-skin contact?"
Jiang Ran's eyes widened.
"Then what counts?"
Ruan Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Don't think wildly." "
...You are the only one who likes to think wildly. I am a very pragmatic person."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "That's not the case here either. Where we were talking, Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi were missing. We need to find them first to ensure their safety, especially Luo Qingyi..." "
Oh? I thought you had a better relationship with Li Shaoxia."
Ruan Yuqing was a little surprised.
Jiang Ran glanced at her:
"How do you know that Li Tianxin and I have a better relationship?
" But I am worried about Luo Qingyi, not just because of the good relationship.
"It's just because... Luo Qingyi is not as enigmatic as Li Tianxin.
"When I look at Li Tianxin recently, I always feel like I have seen him somewhere in the past. "
Huh? " Ruan
Yuqing was stunned: "I heard that you have a photographic memory, and you can recognize Ishin's sword in Jinzun Tower just after seeing it once." If it's someone you've met, you won't forget it, right? "
That's the weird thing. " "
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and did not continue to say the next words.
He felt that Li Tianxin looked familiar, not because of the person's appearance. But because
of some behavior.
At first, it was because of the way he walked, as if he had seen him somewhere.
But he thought He couldn't get up.
When he looked again later, he found that Li Tianxin walked like that only that one time.
In addition, he carefully observed and could always find some familiar shadows in some of his daily behaviors.
It's just that This impression was very weak. Jiang Ran couldn't think of when or where he had seen a similar appearance.
In addition, Li Tianxin's identity was extremely mysterious.
There seemed to be some reason for following him, but he seemed to be far away. Not enough.
This also made Jiang Ran have a certain degree of speculation about Li Tianxin's identity.
Unfortunately, he had too little information.
Jiang Ran couldn't even rule out whether this was his own random imagination.
But generally speaking, this person is just like him What he said must be well hidden.
Therefore, even if he disappears, Jiang Ran is not particularly worried.
He is afraid of ghosts, not people. No matter how weird this place is, it is just someone pretending to be a ghost.
If he encounters this place Who is the unlucky person?
Thinking of this, he said softly:
"Without further ado, let's go. Ruan
Yuqing nodded.
The two of them clasped their fingers together and started walking along the narrow alley, trying to find any traces that Luo Qingyi or Li Tianxin might have left.
But the surrounding environment seemed to be exactly the same, without any difference.
And walking around, it seems like you are spinning in one place.
Jumping to a higher place to look, you find that the scope of this narrow alley is actually not very large.
It surrounds the inside of the palace wall and guards it in a circle. It is very long, but The width is very narrow.
But the construction is very strange. Ruan Yuqing recognized that this should be a specially built formation based on the principles of the Five Elements and Bagua.
If you don't know how to break the formation, you won't be able to get out even until dawn.
