fairy don't want to talk to you

A few days passed by, and the three of them gradually went deep into the underworld.

Ling Bufei raised his head and looked at the flickering light around him, a little puzzled: "Why are there so few wandering souls here?"

"Because we are close to the place of reincarnation." Shang Shaoyang explained, "The more ferocious the wandering soul is, the stronger the obsession is and the less willing it is to enter reincarnation."

Ling Bufei understood and watched the little bits of dim light floating toward the end of the underworld, like a long river of stars, gorgeous and spectacular.

His heart was touched, and he suddenly whispered: "I wonder if my mother is among them."

Back then, the old patriarch Jiang came to Huangquan to look for the soul of his beloved daughter, but unfortunately he found nothing. Instead, he was besieged by evil spirits and was seriously injured and passed away.

Bai Mengjin felt that there was probably no hope, so he consoled her: "Uncle Jiang has been dead for many years, and he has probably reincarnated. Maybe she will embark on the path of immortality again and pass you by."

Ling Bufei thought about it and his mood improved a lot. He smiled and said, "Then when she sees me now, she might even have to call me senior!"

Bai Mengjin pursed his lips and smiled: "Isn't it true? Master Ling Shao is now a big shot in the world of immortality."

While talking and laughing here, Shang Shaoyang looked at the map one by one: "We have searched several places in the past few days, but there are no clues. The next one to go to should be..."

The place circled by Bai Mengjin was blank. Neither the Wuji Sect nor the merchants had any records of this place.

"Fairy Bai, what should we pay attention to next?" Shang Shaoyang asked.

This was a test, but Bai Mengjin didn't say it. He didn't know if he would be offended if he asked in advance.

But she didn't care and answered directly: "Then beyond is the Gu Family Courtyard. There used to be a large array to protect the house. It has been abandoned for many years and has become a habitat for evil spirits. We will have to abandon the ship and go ashore when the time comes. We need some Be prepared."

Sure enough, it is Gu's ruins.

Shang Shaoyang nodded lightly: "I understand."

Ling Bufei was curious: "This place is deep into the underworld. Why did the Gu family build their courtyard here? Living there for a long time will definitely harm the spirit body!"

Bai Mengjin replied: "The Gu family guards the Ming River and needs to detect the movement in the depths of the underworld from time to time. They built a separate courtyard to have a place to stay. Moreover, the exercises they practice are closely related to the ghosts, and sometimes they need to come here to do some experiments. "

After speaking, she sighed: "However, you are right. The Gu family's foundation was damaged because of this, and each generation became weaker and weaker, so that it gradually declined..."

Ling Bufei was worried: "Then you..."

Bai Mengjin smiled: "Don't worry, my mother left Minghe early, and her frailty was not passed on to me. Instead, she gave me a jade-hardened body."

Speaking of this, Shang Shaoyang was a little curious: "Fairy Bai, does your jade-quenched body mean anything?"

"Huh?" Bai Mengjin didn't understand.

Shang Shaoyang said: "The monks who have been in Minghe for a long time will probably have some resistance to the Yin energy. I think the same is true for the Gu family. They have been multiplying here for thousands of years. Although the whole family has been damaged, but as time goes by, there may be Some special cases were stimulated to have special physiques..."

This is something Bai Mengjin has never thought about. She had always thought that having a jade-hardened body was a result of luck. After Shang Shaoyang said this, it seemed that it was really possible.

"Has the Gu family ever had a jade-hardened body before?" Ling Bufei asked, "Or something similar?"

Bai Mengjin recalled: "It seems that there have been one or two strong men, but they were not of jade-hardened body, and I don't know."

For example, the yin-yang umbrella was made by an ancestor of the Gu family, and it was he who laid the foundation of the Gu family's thousand-year heritage. In her previous life, she went through all kinds of hardships to find the ruins of the Gu family courtyard and found a broken genealogy, which recorded the deeds of this ancestor. It is said that he often visited the underworld and his physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. She didn't think much about it before, but now it was revealed by Shang Shaoyang that this ancestor might have a special physique.

Ling Bufei saw something from her expression and said with a smile: "It seems true. You are indeed blessed. Even for descendants of the Gu family, this physique is extremely rare."

Bai Mengjin sighed and nodded. Her mother passed away so early that she doesn't have much memory of her, but her jade body, yin-yang umbrella, and Qiongyu Gong were all gifts from her mother.

The flying boat moved forward slowly, and the Gu Family Courtyard was getting closer and closer. The three of them saw strange grass growing on the shore that was taller than a person. It was yellow and lifeless, like a dead reed swamp.

Bai Mengjin ordered the four demons to stop by the side and asked them to guard here. He turned to the other two people and said: "This place is called Wangchuan Forest, which is watered by the obsession of the soul. Many ghosts waiting for reincarnation live here, you guys You may see your deceased relatives and friends. But at the same time, their obsessions form a huge illusion array, which will trigger hallucinations once triggered."

Shang Shaoyang thoughtfully said: "What Fairy Bai means is that seeing deceased relatives and friends here may really be their souls, but it may also be just an illusion."

Bai Meng should be today.

"Is there a way to tell the difference?"

Bai Mengjin shook his head: "The illusion is very realistic and difficult to distinguish."

Shang Shaoyang took a breath: "It's such a dangerous place, no wonder the Gu Family Courtyard has never been known to the public."

Ling Bufei didn't care: "Let's talk about it when we see each other! There are three of us, and reminding each other is a bit of a guarantee."

Shang Shaoyang said yes, took out the Pure Heart Talisman and other items, made all preparations, and then followed her off the boat.

"I'll open the way." Ling Bufei said proactively.

Bai Mengjin had no objection. She had too many things in her heart, but it was actually far less pure than Ling Bufei, so it would be better to let him clear the way.

The three of them entered the Wangchuan Forest in silence. The reed-like grass swayed gently, and the three figures quickly disappeared into it.

Behind them, the dark river flowed gurglingly, and the four demons guarding the flying boat were the only bright colors.

No one noticed that there was a ghostly figure standing under the forest of Wangchuan opposite.

It watched quietly for a long time, and when the four demons turned around, it silently melted into the night of Huangquan.
-

Bai Mengjin lowered his eyes and followed Ling Bufei, locking his position with only his mind and trying not to look with his eyes.

It was rare for her to look like this. After a while, Ling Bufei noticed it, turned around and gently pulled her hand.

"what happened?"

Bai Mengjin smiled lightly and replied: "I am not someone who repays evil with kindness."

Ling Bufei thought of her life experience and understood in his heart, and replied: "It's okay. If the illusion is really triggered, I will be beaten and killed. It will be more satisfying to vent my anger."

If Bai Mengjin's heart is tied to the uncle of the Bai family, this is correct. Those people are of low strength, and their illusions are not much stronger. But she knew it wasn't the case. Her biggest knot was between Cen Muliang and Ning Yanzhi, once the best swordsman in the world. If they really had an illusion, it would be a hard battle.

When she came to Huangquan in her previous life, she had not yet transformed into a god, and her resentment was even deeper. In order to cross the Wangchuan Forest, she tried over and over again, almost losing half her life before she managed to get through. She is still frightened when she thinks about it now.

As the two of them talked like this, Ling Bufei didn't let go and continued to pull her forward.

Not far away, Shang Shaoyang's surprised voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Lu?"
