Chapter 1014: The Old Man is Cunning

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and shook her head.

"Most likely not. If they wanted to find one or two people among the underworld to report the news secretly, they would not send them to a place like the Soul Enlightenment Pavilion that manages archives..."

Archives rooms and the like are quiet offices, no one would go there unless there is something important, so it is inconvenient if you want to get first-hand information!
"Besides... there is spiritual energy fluctuation on his body, not ghost energy..."

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows,
"This old thing...isn't it a ghost?"

It has stayed in this underworld for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but it is not a ghost?
If that's the case, this old guy is hiding it very deeply!
The two of them looked at each other, and when they looked down, they both smiled coldly.

Not long after the old ghost went down, he turned back.

“My Lords, there is indeed a strange place down there… there is indeed a strange place down there. I was terrified before I even got close to it. I really didn’t dare to go forward, so I had to come back…”

The two nodded when they heard this, looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi said,
"Yan'er, I'll go down and take a look first..."

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and shook her head.

"I'd better go down!"

After saying that, she glanced at the old ghost beside her without leaving a trace. Gu Shiyi laughed and nodded.

"Okay! You can go down and take a look!"

He sat cross-legged on the ground and called the old ghost again,
"You come over and wait too!"

The old ghost came over and sat cross-legged as he was told. Pu Yanlan took a step forward and walked down step by step in mid-air as if she were descending a staircase. At first, light could be seen in the crack, but later, no light could be seen at all. It was pitch black all around. With Pu Yanlan's eyesight, she could only see about one foot in front of her. She raised her eyebrows and became more and more certain that this was the place she was looking for.

When her feet touched the hard ground, Pu Yanlan walked forward along the cracks between the rocks.
"Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock..."

There was a faint sound of dripping water coming from the front. Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows, turned around, and walked in the direction of the sound. After walking about ten feet, she suddenly stopped. It was still dark in front of her. She could only see gravel about a foot under her feet. She raised her hand,

"Om..."

A dim light shot out from her hand, and the front suddenly became bright. She saw a small stone nest on the ground about three meters away. Water was dripping down from the top along the cracks in the rock. A small amount of water was accumulated in the stone nest. The water drops fell into it, making a dripping sound. Everything in front of her was normal, and there was nothing unusual. Only Pu Yanlan felt inexplicably uneasy and her back tight. It was the first time she felt so extremely dangerous in all the years she debuted!

It seems... I have found the right place!
Pu Yanlan was not afraid but happy. She gently pushed her oil lamp forward.

"Buzz...Puff..."

The oil lamp moved forward only ten feet when it suddenly shook and the light went out. The magic weapon fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, Pu Yanlan was prepared. She swung her long sleeves to roll the oil lamp back. Looking at the magic weapon in her hand that had lost all its spiritual energy, Pu Yanlan frowned tightly.
Although no one knew the origin or name of this magic weapon, the oil lamp had helped her win battles every time since she got it. She was careless. She knew this place was weird, but she still let it get damaged. In just one move, the magic weapon lost its spiritual energy and the connection with her mind was immediately severed. If she wanted to use this magic weapon again, she would have to nurture and refine it again!

Pu Yanlan felt extremely distressed and put away the oil lamp. This time she was reluctant to even put out a magic weapon. After thinking for a moment, she walked over.

One step... two steps... three steps... four steps...

After walking about ten feet, Pu Yanlan stopped and slowly stretched out her hand.
“Tick-tick…tick-tick…tick-tick…”

The sound of water drops could be heard. Pu Yanlan's slender white hand was stretched straight in the air. She felt nothing on her fingertips, but her plump and rosy fingertips suddenly changed color. They were rosy at first, then turned pale. Then the skin wrinkled, shrank and broke, revealing the bright red flesh inside. Then the flesh disappeared, revealing the pointed white finger bones...

Pu Yanlan suddenly withdrew her hand and looked at her fingertips. The front end of her middle finger and index finger were all white bones above the first knuckle. It looked extremely scary!
Pu Yanlan frowned tightly. Why was this situation so similar to what they had encountered in the Main Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals?

I think Eleven was in the same situation back then. If it weren’t for her strong body and long lifespan, I’m afraid she would have been the same as I am now!

Pu Yanlan was excited when she saw this.
“It seems I found the right one!”

Pu Yanlan thought about it, but turned back. She saw Gu Shiyi and Laogui still sitting cross-legged. Seeing her coming back, Gu Shiyi asked hurriedly,

"How about it?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"There is indeed a very strange place there..."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Gu Shiyi and showed her her palm. At this time, the pointed white bones on the tips of her two fingers had not yet been repaired, but the lower part was intact, the muscles were intact, and the skin was smooth. When she turned her palm, the two white bone fingertips also moved, and the broken parts were bloody red, which looked very scary!
Gu Shiyi also took a look at it for the first time and thought of his experience in the main hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace. The two looked at each other and saw each other's thoughts. Gu Shiyi's eyes turned and suddenly a look of fear appeared on his face.

"how so……"

Pu Yanlan also had a lingering fear on her face. She took out the skin-regenerating pill and swallowed it, saying,

"It is exactly as the book says, a place where Yin energy cannot grow and Yang energy cannot enter... Fortunately, I was careful, otherwise... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"

After thinking for a while, he talked about the dripping rock wall again.

"The dripping water on the rock wall seems a little strange. It's a pity that I can't get close to it. Otherwise... I could take a closer look..."

Gu Shiyi stood up upon hearing this.

"I'll go down and take a look..."

After saying that, without waiting for Pu Yanlan to speak, he disappeared. When Pu Yanlan pushed the drug to work and the flesh on her fingertips grew back, Gu Shiyi came back with a normal look on his face. He nodded and said,

"That water is indeed a little strange..." After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Pu Yanlan. Her palm was blurry, but there was a drop of clear water rolling in it. It seemed that she reached out to catch the dripping water on the rock wall. At this time, her palm had been corroded to the point of bones. However, Gu Shiyi's body was strong and his recovery ability was incomparable to before. Therefore, the flesh and blood in her palm was melted by the dripping water, and then quickly recovered, melted again, and recovered again. After a tug of war, Gu Shiyi finally brought a drop of clear water to Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan hurriedly took out a jade bottle and wanted to put the drop of clear water into the bottle. As a result, the jade bottle made a slight sound when it touched the water, and turned into a wisp of green smoke, and the drop of clear water fell to the ground.
"puff……"

A small hole suddenly appeared on the ground, penetrating directly into the rock under their feet. As the two of them made this move, the old ghost who was bowing his head in respect was startled at first, and then saw Pu Yanlan take out the jade bottle, and his eyes flashed with contempt. Then, when he saw the water droplets seeping into the ground under his feet, the corners of his mouth even pulled out a sarcastic smile...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were both shocked when they saw this.

"This thing is really powerful, where does it come from?"

Pu Yanlan recalled the books and notes she had read over the years, but found nothing. The two looked at each other, feeling helpless. Gu Shiyi glanced at the old ghost beside him, rolled his eyes and asked,

"Well... Old Ghost... do you know where this thing came from?"

The old ghost shook his head again and again.

"Although I have been in the underworld for a long time, I have always been serving in the library. Occasionally, I accompanied the adults on official business, but I just ran errands and helped out. I have never even heard of such a strange and powerful thing, so how can I know about it!"

"Oh……"

Gu Shiyi squinted his eyes and glanced at it, then suddenly turned to Pu Yanlan and said,
"This place is indeed strange. With our current level, I'm afraid we can't solve it. Why don't we go back and report it to Lord Yan Luo?"

Pu Yanlan nodded upon hearing this.

"Indeed, we came out this time to serve as a pioneer for Lord Yan Luo. Now that we have inspected it, let's go back and report the situation here to Lord Yan Luo!"

After saying that, the two of them stood up, and a gust of cold wind swept up the old ghost, and then they left Wuyou Ridge...

Since they already knew the route, it wouldn't take much time to get back to the City of the Dead. After entering the city, Pu Yanlan gave the Ghost King Pill to the old ghost, and then let him go. They turned around and exchanged glances, and a cold wind blew, and they returned to Yang Shangong's mansion.

It is said that in this underworld, there is no day or night, no time distinction, and there is not a single ghost. On Wuyou Mountain, there were gusts of cold wind and the howling of ghosts. After an unknown period of time, a figure as fast as smoke came quickly towards the Yangxue on Wuyou Mountain. When he arrived in front of it, he moved the big stone on top, revealing a fist-sized hole. He reached his hand into the hole, and without any movement, the small golden earthworm in the hole was pulled out. The earthworm twisted and turned in the hand of the black shadow, struggling desperately, and suddenly turned around and bit the black shadow's tiger mouth.
"Hey……"

The black shadow just sneered at the sight, without dodging or evading. He watched as the earthworm's fangs sank deeply into his skin. The golden light on his body flashed a few times and then dimmed.
"hey-hey……"

The shadow sneered.

"Those two monks were also wrong. They actually said that you are an earth dragon, not to mention a heaven and earth spirit. The Yin-Yang Spirit Silkworm and the heaven and earth spirit are totally unrelated..."

After saying that, the black shadow stretched out his other hand, gently took down the Yin-Yang Spirit Silkworm, which was obviously shriveled and withered, and threw it back into the Yang acupoint.

"If you stay in there for a few hundred more years, you can absorb Yin energy for me again!"

After pressing the Yang point with the stone again, the black shadow turned around and went to the small pond on the other side. The black shadow went into the center of the small pond and came out again after a while.

"Hey...it looks like they didn't do anything in there!"

After that, he turned into a wisp of light smoke and arrived at the crack in the ground. He looked around and found nothing unusual, then he disappeared into the crack in the ground in a flash...

“Tick-tick…tick-tick…tick-tick…”

The rock wall above the stone nest was still dripping with clear water. Everything was the same as before. The black shadow stood ten feet away and looked carefully, sneering.
"Two ignorant juniors, you don't even know this Weak Water. Fortunately, you don't know this thing. Otherwise... I'm afraid I would have to spend more time and effort!"

After saying that, he changed his mind and frowned again.
“I don’t know where these two came from. They were able to steal the soul of Yang Shangong and sneak into the underworld…”

He was not afraid that the two would really report it to Yama. Although the current Yama had some skills, it would take him another thousand years to see through my arrangement!

Thinking of this, he looked around and then dodged and flew upwards. However, his rising figure had only risen to a height of ten feet when suddenly there was a bang. The black shadow's head seemed to hit something and his body fell back heavily to the original place.
"what……"

The shadow was startled and immediately jumped up from the ground. He looked around, but found that everything was normal. There was silence all around except for the sound of water dripping on the rock wall. The shadow looked alert and carefully moved closer to the rock wall, looking around.
"laugh……"

Suddenly, a light laugh sounded beside his ear. The black shadow reacted very quickly. He shook his body and turned into a wisp of light smoke and flashed to the side. However, he was one step too late. Just as the laugh sounded behind his ear, a black thread as thin as a hair flashed under his feet and passed through his calf. Just as he turned into light smoke, the black thread suddenly straightened.

"boom……"

The black shadow stood up again and fell heavily to the ground. One foot stepped on him right on the waist. The black shadow struggled to move, but a demonic force penetrated his body. It was as if someone punched him in the dantian. He screamed in pain and curled up like a big shrimp.

"boom……"

He was kicked in the back again, and there was a cracking sound on his spine. His bones were broken. He immediately collapsed to the ground like a snake with its bones pulled out. Only then did someone chuckle and appear.
"Old man... you are so cunning... I can't lure you out without setting a trap!"

The black shadow was lying on the ground. He turned his head with great effort and saw that it was the tall and imposing woman from today.
"You...you...why are you guys guarding here?"

The woman nodded at him.
"Waiting for you... I've seen that you are not a good person..."

After saying that, he squatted down, stretched out his hand and patted his bald forehead heavily.
"What's the matter... do you want me to use some tricks to get you to tell me, or do you want to tell me the truth?"

The old ghost groaned miserably,
"What...I...I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Tsk tsk! You really won't cry until you see the coffin. No... you won't cry even if you see the coffin... Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Gu Shiyi raised his hand and slapped the old ghost's huge head. Judging from the momentum of the tip of his palm, he was going to smash the old ghost's head with one palm. The old ghost could not dodge, but just stared at Gu Shiyi with a pair of ghost eyes with resentment.

"Pfft..."
