Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2267 Gully
In order to show friendship, the ghost Taoist leader actually let go of the bearded ghost general and walked side by side with him.

Not far ahead, a ravine appeared.

It's actually quite strange to see ravines in the desert, because no matter how big the gully is, it will be filled up by yellow sand.But this gully exists like this. Although the bottom of the gully is also yellow sand, it has not been filled in.

The ravine is like a rift valley, running east to west.

The ghost leader entered from the west. The further he went, the deeper the ravine became. Finally, when he looked at the terrain on both sides, it turned out to be like a high mountain!
"Big Beard, this deep trench was created by you too, right?" The ghost Taoist leader looked at the bearded ghost general beside him and asked.

The bearded man shook his head and said, "The wind, the wind blows..."

"That's right, but these winds are also caused by your ghost soldiers. Otherwise, there would not be this deep trench." The ghost Taoist leader said with a smile.

The concentration of ghost soldiers can naturally control the direction of the wind, but judging from this deep trench, the ghost soldiers here are quite powerful and have a hard-working spirit.Because this is not the result of a day or night, but the dedication of many years.

The bearded man didn't argue, smiled stiffly, and moved on.

At the end of the deep ditch, a house appeared in sight.

The house is also made of yellow sand, with half of it sticking out and the other half made of hollowed-out yellow sand, somewhat in the style of a cave dwelling in northern Shaanxi.

These houses are very simple. There are no tall pillars or jade steps in front of the door. They look similar to civilian houses.

It's even a bit like a slum.

But there were ghost soldiers standing guard in front of the door, forming a line and watching the ghost Taoist priest warily.

"Wait, wait until they notify the ghost king." The bearded man said to the ghost priest.

"Please." Ghost Taoist Master nodded, stopped, and stood with his hands behind his back.

The leading ghost soldiers also stopped, layer upon layer, surrounding the ghost Taoist leader in the middle.

Gui Daochang was surrounded by heavy soldiers, with a smile on his face, calm and calm.

After a while, a skinny old ghost walked out of a row of low houses in front, walked straight to the ghost Taoist priest, raised his hand and said: "The ghost king invites you!"

When this guy spoke, his Chinese was very standard and he seemed to be a professional translator.

"Thank you, please lead the way." Ghost Taoist Master still had his hands behind his back, but nodded slightly.

The thin old ghost turned around, and together with the bearded general, one in front and one behind, he led the ghost priest towards the yellow sand cave in front.

It was quiet all around, and the tens of thousands of ghost soldiers were silent.

The ghost Taoist leader secretly nodded, thinking to himself that this ghost king has some tricks, at least he can lead his troops well and has strict military discipline.

After entering the cave dwelling, Taoist Ghost realized that this house was just an entrance.

Through this entrance, you can directly reach the underground hinterland of the desert.

As for the real Ghost King's Palace, we don't know how far inside it is.

The Ghost Taoist Master watched as he walked and said with a smile: "It's more dangerous here. We have crawled underground in the desert. If the exit is blocked, I'm afraid that a million troops will all be buried under the yellow sand, right?"

The bearded man shook his head and said: "There are rocks in front of us, not yellow sand..."

Sure enough, as he continued to move forward, Taoist Ghost saw that the composition of the passage was different, and gradually changed to rocks.

There was an open area ahead, and a large group of old ghosts came out to look at the ghost Taoist priest.

Standing in the middle is a red-faced old ghost, who is also neatly dressed like King Yama in the underworld, with a hat, boots and belt, and looks like a king.

However, in the eyes of Ghost Taoist Master, this Ghost King's dress is really a bit nondescript.

Because his attire is more Chinese, but looking at his facial features, he is obviously not Han.

The skinny old ghost leading the way stopped and introduced to the ghost Taoist: "This is our ghost king."

The ghost priest nodded, and walked forward slowly, without saluting, just smiled and said: "What a majestic ghost king, he has caught up with the real king of hell."

But the ghost king also understood what the ghost Taoist said, smiled back, and said: "Thank you for the compliment. Now that you have come, I will make peace with you. Please come and sit in the room."

The ghost Taoist thanked him, and entered the ghost king's hall under the front and rear surveillance of the other party.

The Ghost King seemed to have no intention of embarrassing the Ghost Taoist Priest, and was relatively harmonious. After sitting down, he asked: "This is a forbidden area. All outsiders and foreign ghosts are not allowed to come in. Old man, what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for something, but I didn't expect that this thing is in your forbidden area." Ghost Taoist Master said.

"Looking for something? What are you looking for?" The Ghost King frowned.

The Ghost Taoist Master smiled and said, "Let's not talk about what I'm looking for. Let's talk about the history of your place. May I ask, Lord Ghost King, why is this a forbidden area?"

The Ghost King was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and motioned to the translator just now to speak.

The translator stood up and said:

"A long time ago, our ancestors lived here, herding horses and herding sheep. But one day, an enemy suddenly invaded. Our people could not resist it, and they were like retreating in the desert. The enemy was very fierce, and they chased them all the way. They were chasing. When we arrived here, a burst of sand suddenly rolled up from the ground, blowing all the enemies to death... This is the blessing of the spirits of our ancestors in the sky, so this is a forbidden place because our ancestors rest here."

The ghost Taoist priest smiled, looked at the ghost king and asked, "Is this the reason for the forbidden area?"

"That's right, this is the reason for the forbidden area." Ghost King nodded.

However, the Ghost Taoist shook his head, stood up, and said: "To tell you the truth, that burst of flying red sand was not because your ancestors appeared, but because there was a formation in this place. The people who invaded your ancestors touched the formation. Because of the law, he was killed by the mechanism in the formation. This place has nothing to do with your ancestors."

"You're talking nonsense!" The Ghost King was furious. He suddenly stood up, pointed at the Ghost Taoist Priest, and cursed: "You are insulting our ancestors, you deserve to die!"

Seeing that the Ghost King was angry, the ghost generals in the hall picked up the guy one by one and forced them towards the Ghost Taoist Master, ready to take action.

"Wait a minute!" Ghost Taoist Master waved his hand hurriedly, turned around, and said, "Don't get excited, everyone, listen to me!"

The Ghost King waved his hand to stop his subordinates from taking any further actions. He looked at the Ghost Taoist Master angrily and said, "You say it, you say it! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you immediately!"

"What's the rush? I'm right here. You can kill me at any time if you want." Ghost Taoist Master smiled nonchalantly and said, "I just said that the formation here has nothing to do with your ancestors. It is well-founded, isn't it? That’s nonsense. If you don’t believe it, we can verify it.”

There was silence in the hall, and all the old ghosts looked at the Ghost King and the Ghost Taoist Priest.

"Verification, how to verify?" Ghost King asked with eyes wide open.

The ghost Taoist smiled, looked at the countless old ghosts in front of him, and said with a smile: "Actually, I know that you don't dare to enter that forbidden area. Why not, you take me there and let me in. If your ancestors have spirits, , will naturally kill me; if there is a formation here, I have a plan to break it and turn this forbidden land into a peaceful place."
