The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 443: Things Have Changed, Sealed Land and Wrongly Dead City (asking for monthly ticket)

"Can't there be more than six people at the same time..."

After hearing this, Xu Shu pondered for a moment, looked at his teammates behind him, and subconsciously looked at Xie Xiaochan.

Among them, Xie Xiaochan is naturally the strongest.

But before he could say anything, Yan Huoxing added: "This time when we go in, Brother Xu, you and I will each need to resist a ghost king, so we will need two healing professions to cooperate, and two more people to take the lead in killing, and the rest will be on guard near the entrance to prevent anyone from approaching."

"Need two treatments?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows.

Yan Huoxing nodded: "Yes, the lethality of the Scissor Ghost and the Clone Ghost should not be underestimated. If they join forces, it will be even more difficult to deal with. You and I will each have a healing profession to follow us, so we can divide the opponent and defeat them. This is the strategy for this secret realm.

“Speaking of which, the reason why so many people failed in the past is also related to the team configuration. After all, dragons and elephants as brave as you and me, Brother Xu, are rare in the world, hahahaha!”

"So that's it."

Now Xu Shu suddenly understood. No wonder Yan Huoxing was so excited when he saw him. It turned out that he had been thinking of finding another "Dragon Elephant" to form a team with from the beginning.

Seeing the expressions of the other four people, Lu Bingwei and Zhang Runzhi both had cold faces and stood under the temple gate with a rather peculiar shape; while Ai Li hooked her finger at him with a half-smile and made a charming expression, and Xu Shu understood.

There is no doubt that these four people are determined to enter the secret realm together.

In other words, you just need to have another nanny follow you.

"In that case..."

Xu Shu glanced at Xiao Yingrong, then turned to Gu Yueming without hesitation and said, "Aunt, you should follow me closely for a while."

"Okay." At this moment, Gu Yueming did not refuse and agreed immediately.

Yan Huoxing nodded and said, "The strength of the Scissor Ghost and the Clone Ghost is about the same. Brother Xu, which one do you think is more reliable to deal with?"

"What about you?" Xu Shu asked back.

Yan Huoxing smiled and said, "It's fine for me. I can handle one without any problem, but I can't handle dealing with two at the same time."

"Haha, it seems like Brother Yan is very confident." Xu Shu smiled.
This guy is quite confident. According to what Xie Xiaochan said, the scissor ghost has an invincible locking attack, and the clone ghost has a secret method of reincarnation. Neither of them is easy to deal with... Xu Shu's eyes rolled, and his more detailed understanding of them quickly flashed through his mind.

If the strength of these two is not much different from their previous performances in the legend, then it is obvious that the Slit-mouthed Woman has greater lethality; and although the clone ghost Tomie is also difficult to deal with, the real difficulty is that the wronged souls of those who were killed possess the body and take over. Apart from this, her combat power is actually not as good as that of the Slit-mouthed Woman.

Speaking of which, this possession and hijacking sounds a bit familiar... huh?

Could it be "Yang Shen·Corpse Dog"? Possession and evil curse sound quite similar.

Xu Shu glanced at the little jade Buddha, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He immediately said, "I'm afraid it's not up to us to decide who to deal with."

Yan Huoxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's true. Okay, we'll act according to circumstances. This is a small map of the secret realm. When they appear, we'll act accordingly. Lead the Scissor Ghost to the wooden house in the south, and the Clone Ghost to the dry well in the north."

As he spoke, he took out a hand-drawn blueprint that was so realistic that it was almost like a photo, and shared it with others, saying, "When the time comes, we just need to resist as hard as we can, and Brother Zhang and Brother Lu will be responsible for dealing with them."

"Okay." Xu Shu looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away, feeling more confident - some of the content marked on the map was exactly the same as the Kiyomizu Temple in his memory.

In just a few words, the basic tactics for conquering this secret realm were decided.

Yan Huoxing opened the package, took out a very thick sandalwood stick, stuck it into the ground, and snapped his fingers.

With a hissing sound, a flame appeared from his fingertips and ignited the sandalwood.

The mist swirled upwards, condensing without dispersing, and actually swirled in the air before eyes, as if it was shattering the void.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long to create a "space vortex" leading to another world!
"The usage of this trigger is different from what I imagined... Hmm, using your fingers to put out fire? Could it be that he also has a murderous heart? But why don't I feel any anger?"

Xu Shu looked at Yan Huoxing's back and began to speculate.

Seeing this situation, in addition to the six people who were preparing to enter the secret realm, the other five teammates who were responsible for guarding the periphery were not idle either. They began to look for hiding places nearby.

Before Xie Xiaochan left, she paused, took out a still-warm purple crystal talisman from her bosom and stuffed it into Xu Shu's pocket, saying, "Be careful in there, don't die! This is a boundary-breaking talisman. If the situation is really bad, you can just pinch this talisman, and you can forcibly separate yourself from the secret realm for an hour. Then it depends on your luck whether you can escape with your life!"

"There's such a good thing? Oh, this is not good, how can I sell out my teammates!"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up and he said sorry, but he moved quickly and snatched the purple talisman from Xie Xiaochan's hand and put it away.

"Don't be so careless."

Xie Xiaochan patted him, quietly glanced at Lu Bingwei and Zhang Runzhi over there, and lowered her voice and said, "Humph, let me tell you, although we have formed an alliance, the covenant only states that we cannot betray or hurt each other. If things go well, it's fine, but if things don't go well, do you really think these vixens will risk their lives to save you? Be more careful when you go out. If I'm not protecting you, you won't know how you died!"

"Hehe, I understand! Thank you Sister Chan for your care!" Xu Shu smiled.

Xie Xiaochan was quite pleased with the word "sister". She smiled and said, "Well, that's good to know. Oh, and I don't know how to deal with that ghost clone. If it's the scissor ghost chasing you, remember not to answer her dirty words. If you do, you will be seriously injured!"

"Okay." Xu Shu nodded without refutation.

In fact, Xie Xiaochan's information was totally wrong, and Xu Shu had completely grasped the weaknesses of these two ghost kings, and he was in a very good position to control them - as the "Spirit King Arthur" who had once killed two female ghosts with the purple myrtle stick, Xu Shu was certainly qualified to say such things.

"Okay, I'll leave then."

As Xie Xiaochan was speaking, Xu Shu grabbed her sleeve before she could turn around.

He quietly glanced at Gu Yueming who was unaware of the situation and asked, "Is there only one Boundary Breaking Talisman? If you only use it on me, what about her? Isn't she your good sister?"

"...Talk less!" Xie Xiaochan's expression froze, and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. Then, without saying anything else, she turned over and jumped up, and with a whoosh, she slipped into the crevice of the stone next to her.

From the outside, it seemed as if she had merged into the mountain and disappeared completely without a trace.

"What is this, the art of escaping the earth? The methods used by Taoists are quite special. Haha, but isn't their sisterhood too plastic?"

While Xu Shu was amazed, he was not prepared to use such a purple talisman.

This little life-saving item was just icing on the cake for him. He was only in the "isolated safe house" for an hour? What was the point?

It would be better to leave it to Gu Yueming as a favor.

After all, if I really can't beat her, I can't just ignore my aunt.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu quietly handed the boundary-breaking talisman to Gu Yueming, and told him how to use it. At the end, he added: "Aunt, if the fight breaks out later and things go wrong, you can use this talisman to save your life!"

"Okay, got it..."

Gu Yueming looked at Xu Shu with complicated eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.

As they were talking, Xie Xiaochan, Jiang Biyun and the other five had already ambushed around the entrance, hiding their figures to protect it.

At first glance, the situation is actually very similar to the one in Nagoya that we just passed by.

The entrance to the vortex formed by smoke has grown to about two meters high.

One can clearly feel that there are faint sounds of chanting and bells coming from the other end of the vortex, which seems to be connected to a strange space.

"Everyone, the incense will only last for six hours, so we must fight quickly. The enemy should not be underestimated, so use whatever means you have, and don't hide your weaknesses!"

Yan Huoxing clapped his hands and spoke first.

After receiving the response, he took the lead without saying a word and came to the entrance of the whirlpool.

After waiting for a few seconds and waiting for the vortex entrance to grow a few circles larger and be able to accommodate itself perfectly, Yan Huoxing took out something like a fish basket and took out a "Mang" that was tied up from it.

With a snap, Yan Huoxing put on the protective gear, and Yu'er seemed to be awakened, pouting angrily, but did not say much.

It was obvious that he had captured this mermaid from somewhere before, so he naturally had to make all necessary preparations before starting the battle.

Xu Shu was rather delighted when he saw this. The mermaid's body still reached her waist, and was obviously of the second stage. She must have two Chinese characters "Buddha" in her body as well. After the fight was over, he could ask for it from her.

Thinking of this, Yan Huoxing seemed to have sensed something and also turned around to look at Xu Shu.

The two men's eyes met, and Yan Huoxing seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Xu Shu's heart moved, and after thinking for a while, he took the initiative to step forward and asked: "Brother Yan, since we are going to the battlefield together, we are comrades-in-arms. Why don't you just speak directly if you have anything to say?"

"Well... okay then. Actually, I've been wanting to ask this question for a long time."

Yan Huoxing nodded, as if he was organizing his words. After he mumbled a few times, he finally looked at the fishman that Xu Shu was riding and said:

"Dude, why do you keep wearing it? Won't it get tired if you send it? It's been soaked for a few hours and the skin is peeling. Why don't you change it now? You won't be able to change it after entering the secret realm."

"what?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he had seen all kinds of storms and waves. He thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I used this fishman just right. If I'm too nervous, it will be uncomfortable."

Yan Huoxing said, "Okay, then let's see who can last longer!"

"Okay, but Brother Yan, don't be too confident. If you can't hold on any longer, let me take over." Xu Shu said. "Hey, you look down on me? Let's compete?"

"Compete!"

As he spoke, even the fishmen felt the surging fighting spirit and could not help but open their mouths and shout in protest.

"Depend on."

What's swollen? Too tight. Change it?
What the hell is that? It's too vulgar! Obscene!

Seeing that the two "Dragon Elephants" were actually trying to see who was more courageous, the other women in the team spat and turned away in silence, with disgust on their faces.

Fortunately, this shameful behavior only lasted less than a second. Yan Huoxing's pupils shrank and he took the lead in changing the subject: "Ahem, no more trouble, I'm going in first, buddy!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and disappeared into the whirlpool like a clay cow entering the sea.

The other four people hurriedly followed and entered the vortex.

Xu Shu followed closely behind.

As he entered, the circular vortex, which was originally more than two meters wide, seemed to have triggered some condition and immediately shrank and clamped off the entrance.

There was only a stick of sandalwood left with smoke still wafting from it. The surroundings were silent, as if all living things had been killed in an instant.

……

Mushrooms~
Mushrooms~
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and walked through the passage.

This place was very narrow at first, but then it could pass through. Then it became even tighter, as if the grayish-white walls of unknown texture were squeezing him.

After walking forward for dozens of steps, the view finally opened up and a large area of ​​quaint temple buildings came into view.

At my feet is the top of a green mountain. There seems to be a light mist in the air, and the faint sound of chanting lingers in my ears.

There is a tall tower on each side of the temple, and bells can be heard from the top of the tower from time to time, echoing each other.

After just one encounter, Xu Shu was sure again that this was exactly where the battle took place that year - Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.

However, it is worth mentioning that there is a large brick and stone square in the temple, and there are probably thousands of people kneeling on the square.

They were wearing various modern clothes, kneeling on the ground with their heads touching the ground, with an extremely pious posture, as if they were worshiping the big Buddha in the temple.

The faint sound of chanting scriptures actually came from these worshippers, connecting into a line like a whole.

"I've never seen these things before~"

"According to what Xie Xiaochan said, these people who worship Buddha are the so-called ghost soldiers and corpse generals who can't be killed but can't drop a single crystal?"

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Taichu Scroll, only to see the words written on it:

[After some trouble, you followed your teammates and successfully entered the sealed area. ]

[There is a clear barrier between this place and the ruins outside. You think you are seeing Kiyomizu Temple, but in fact there are other things here, such as the wronged souls from the local city of the dead.]

[This is not the sound of chanting, but the voice of the dead, pouring out their feelings and revealing all their emotions: sadness, resentment, anger, regret, despair...]

[Oh, why are there so many souls of the dead here? ]

[No one can answer this question, and perhaps no one cares, because—they are here! ]

[Without even a moment's time to mourn the millions of lives that had died, the first to rush to the battlefield were the thoughts lingering in the sealed land, the souls that had returned from destruction - the Slit-mouthed Woman and Tomie, making their grand appearance! ]

[They are walking towards you with endless numbers of the dead who are obsessed with escaping the sea of ​​suffering, walking uprightly and in unison! ]

Swish!
Xu Shu's pupils shrank, and before he had time to think about the meaning of this so-called "Sealed Land" and "City of Wrongful Death", he saw two familiar figures appear in his sight.

One of them had long hair draped over her shoulders, her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered, she was dressed in white, with two small pouches with pointed corners just showing, and she walked out of the main hall with graceful lotus steps.

She had a smile on her face, and her every move exuded the aura of a classical beauty, which made people feel pity for her. They almost wanted to hold her in their arms and cherish her, not wanting to hurt her.

"Tomie. It looks like a clone. Where is the real one…"

Xu Shu glanced around and was about to give a reminder when the big fat man next to him rushed over.

"Leave this to me! Hahaha!"

Amidst a breathtaking laughter, Yan Huoxing hugged Tomie like a rocket and slammed into the ground like a meteor!

Then, two people turned into black lightning and followed. They were Ai Li and Zhang Runzhi.

Ai Li took out a strange whistle and blew it, and Yan Huoxing immediately let out a strange cry and howled like a wolf.

Zhang Runzhi's action was much simpler. He clapped his hands and pressed hard on the ground.

The next second, the whole square seemed to jump up!
Bang bang bang explosions continued to sound, and from the huge cracks, layers of red air waves rushed up into the sky and spread like ripples.

Along with it, the "worshippers" who were rushing towards it like zombies were also shattered.

They were fearless and brave, and rushed forward one after another to attack, but they could only be crushed by the terrifying air wave, turned into dust and disappeared on the spot, and were completely useless.

“Is this the standard of a top butcher?”

"As expected of a master on the Human Ranking, he is much stronger than any other butcher I've ever seen!"

Xu Shu's eyes fixed, and a layer of fluorescence appeared on his body - as soon as the "Drama Man" Gu Yueming came in, he gave him two blessing states, recovery and strengthening, and then hid behind him.

In addition, the "Heavenly Master" Lu Bingwei did not follow.

She stood aside and said coldly: "I will follow you to deal with the scissor ghost."

"it is good."

Three against one, it seems the division of labor was very clear before they came in.

"The Scissor Ghost hasn't..."

Xu Shu was just about to say that the Scissor Ghost had not appeared yet, but he suddenly heard the sound of a bell in his ears, and then a cold wind blew behind him, directly piercing Gu Yueming who was hiding behind him!

"?"

Good man, what a crow's mouth! But this thing actually picks people to attack?
Xu Shu frowned, stretched out his arms without saying a word, and embraced his aunt from behind.

Then there was a loud "clang" of metal clashing, and the huge pair of scissors suddenly clamped Xu Shu's golden right shoulder without warning, causing sparks to fly.

The first thing he did was to use Jingwei to fill the sea to resist.

It was not until this time that the man emitting evil aura appeared behind Xu Shu to the right.

This is an adult woman. She is wearing a white coat, but her graceful figure cannot be hidden. She is wearing a white medical mask, but her eyes are still as innocent as water.

It’s the old friend, the Slit-Mouth Woman!
She just seemed to drift in space, inexplicably appearing next to Xu Shu and launching an attack.

The first cut was ineffective. The slit-mouthed woman's eyes did not change much, and she disappeared immediately, as if she had dissipated into nothingness.

Xu Shu found that Lu Bingwei next to him was indifferent to this.

He was startled and asked, "Why don't you do it?"

Lu Bingwei glanced at him and said, "This cursed spirit will not be injured in any way. Hitting her will have no effect and will be a waste of effort. She has already locked onto you. Go to the south side of the clock tower and listen to my command. Do whatever I tell you to do! Remember!"

After saying this, the expression of this expert ranked 314 on the Human Ranking suddenly twisted, and he was cut into two pieces by a pair of scissors that suddenly appeared, and they floated away in the air.

This is a paper figure.

She was clearly a flesh and blood body, but suddenly she turned into a "paper man" and suffered a sneak attack!
"?" The woman with the slit looked around, and seemed very dissatisfied with the result of the cut. Then she glanced at Xu Shu, and her body became ethereal again, disappearing from sight.

Xu Shu was slightly surprised and felt that Lu Bingwei's move looked familiar.

He quickly found something similar from his memory - isn't this the "Li Dai Tao Jiang" of the "pen-and-paper clerk"!

There is just a slight difference in the form of expression, but in essence it seems that there is no difference at all.

Of course, after all, the paths to transcendence are different, so there must be other strange things going on here, which is beyond Xu Shu's understanding.

So far, he has not experienced the path of "orphan" or "musician".

Although Xu Shu felt that the other party's attitude was a little conceited, he did not think much about it. He immediately hugged Gu Yueming in his arms and ran all the way to the clock tower in the south.
