The 100% natural gas

Chapter 288: Welcoming the Grand Master! [Second update!]

The little white ape dared to move closer only after seeing that the little devil had been subdued.

It could see clearly that the tone of the running ghost contained a hint of envy, jealousy, resentment and dissatisfaction.

After all, he had been guarding the gate of the Express News Department for who knows how many years, working diligently, fulfilling his duties, and willing to endure loneliness, but he was still just a low-class kid.

That old man who came from nowhere, dressed in rags and looking like a beggar, wanted to occupy a high position when he came.

Thinking of this, the little white ape couldn't help but think of himself.

I am currently in Linjiang Division, and I am still a small flag.

If you guard it for ten or eight years in the future, it will still be a small flag.

One day, a disabled old beggar came and made no contribution, but he was asked to be the commander of the Astronomical Bureau.

"It's really infuriating."

The little white ape thought so in his heart.

"Judge Wu met with him personally?"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "In this area, is Judge Wu the only active person besides that person?"

"Yeah."

The Speeding Ghost nodded and said unhappily, "This guy came here not long ago, and suddenly he became Judge Wu... It's obvious that I was the first one to come."

He was so angry that his cheeks turned blue and puffed up. He said, "Look how respectful he is to that damn old man. That damn old man's official rank is probably higher than Judge Wu's!"

"I'm clearly the most senior person here. This is so unfair!"

"Master Soul Catcher, you are from the underworld. You will be punished in the future."

"People like me, who work hard and steadily, have no future."

"It's these people who have connections. They have been in high positions for a short time. I'm afraid they are higher than the director of my Express News Department."

When the ghost said this, he could not help but feel grief-stricken and almost cried out: "This is totally unjust."

Lin Lei did not reply, but showed a thoughtful look, then looked at his third brother Lin Yan and asked: "What do you think?"

"That old man with a broken body is most likely Lord Zhuo Ling. He is just a remnant soul, so in the eyes of ghosts, he is a broken body."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Lord Qingling was once the master of the blessed land, an existence comparable to a god. Even though he is just a remnant soul, he should not be underestimated. It is not surprising that he can occupy a high position here."

More importantly, according to the records analyzed from Qifeng City, more than three thousand years ago, Lord Qingling once received a guest who claimed to be from the underworld.

The Speeding Ghost thought that this old man had gotten in through the back door through connections, and when he thought about it carefully, he was not wrong.

As for Lord Zhuo Ling, it had already been confirmed that he was in this forbidden area, so Lin Yan was not surprised.

What surprised him was the guy who had just come to the forbidden area not long ago and got the position of martial judge!
Although this speeding ghost had no specific knowledge of time, it could be roughly speculated that Judge Wu had entered the forbidden area at least sixty years ago.

Next was Dongshan Prefecture, which sent more than 20 groups of people to explore the forbidden area, and almost all of them were wiped out.

In the Speeding Ghost's perception, these things happened "not long ago".

"What's next?"

Lin Lei suddenly asked.

This speeding ghost has only been guarding the gate of the Express News Bureau for so many years, and he doesn't know much.

In fact, we have asked almost all the clues that can be obtained from this kid.

Although the harvest was much less than expected, at least I had a basic understanding of this forbidden area and was no longer completely confused.

"The head of the Express Report Department died a long time ago..."

Lin Yan looked at the door and asked, "So what's inside now?"

The ghost thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Otherwise, I'll take you to have a look!"

The little white ape couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you the gatekeeper? It seemed like you didn't let anyone in earlier. Why are you so straightforward in your answer?"

The Speeding Ghost muttered, "Master Soul Catcher is a messenger from the underworld. He can investigate whatever he wants... Since you are all in the same group, you can all watch!"

He thought to himself that the Soul Catcher didn't even know that he was under the command of the Express Reporting Bureau and was still willing to promote him.

If you show some courtesy now, you might be reported directly to the underworld and promoted to the chief of the Express Reporting Department.

"Let's go."

Lin Yan nodded.

The vigilance and murderous intent in the little boy's eyes also diminished a lot.

It is said that this kid is essentially still an eight-year-old child. He has been squatting here for a long time without any communication with the outside world. His mind is still immature and he is still like a child.

So Lin Yan could guess most of what this kid was thinking.

He was originally a little devil under the command of the Express Reporting Department. Now that he has been subdued by the Soul Catcher of the Underworld, he has been promoted.

It is like a small flag officer of the Nansi outside Gaoliu City was suddenly noticed by the inspector from Qifeng Prefecture City and transferred to the headquarters of the Jiantiansi in the prefecture city.

Although it is still a small flag, its status is very different!

For example, if I return to Gaoliu City one day, it will be considered as returning home in glory, and the general flag-teller will also look at me with respect!
This is actually a disguised form of promotion!

But this kid obviously wants to take this opportunity to be appreciated and climb higher!

"Master, wait a moment. I will open the door a little."

The speeding ghost hurried forward and pressed the door of the Express Reporting Department.

After a while, the door was still silent.

He slowly turned his head, with a stiff smile on his green face, and said awkwardly: "I can't push it..."

In the past, He was just a gatekeeper. As a ghost, He came and went like the wind and could sneak in through the cracks.

I have never opened the door of this Express News Department!

"Although he is fast, he lacks strength." The little white ape muttered, "No wonder he was so weak when he pushed me just now. I thought he was showing mercy, but it turns out I was just being too sentimental... How did he, with such little strength, wipe out the entire army of the deputy commander of the Dongshan Prefecture's Heavenly Supervisory Division?"

"..."

Lin Yan had a calm expression and glanced at the speeding ghost.

From the very beginning, Lin Yan didn't think that the deputy commander and others were killed by the speeding ghost.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to let his brother tame the little ghost, but would have directly killed the speeding ghost after asking the question!

"I didn't kill them!"

The Speedy Ghost said quickly, "I just run fast, I can't kill anyone... Just now they were trying to break into the Express News Department, so I made some noise and scared them away..."

He just felt a chill covering his body and hurriedly explained it again.

The group of people just now accidentally arrived at the gate of the Express News Bureau.

He chose the most powerful one among them and took the mirror from him.

From what others called him, the person whose mirror He had taken away was the deputy commander.

This swift-moving ghost came and went without a trace, and I thought I had scared these people away, so they dared not to come any further.

However, he did not expect that the deputy commander would take the opportunity to push open the door of the Express Reporting Department.

He was hit by the energy of the blood pool inside and black hair grew all over his body, and then he went crazy.

Before going crazy, he shouted to others to evacuate immediately.

But those people panicked and walked into the most dangerous dead end, so He stopped them.

It was mistakenly believed that those people's retreat was cut off.

But the result was still good. Except for the crazy deputy commander who was unable to stop him, everyone else had been driven into the three passages on the left.

Those three channels are relatively safe.

At least now, those people should not be completely dead.

"..."

Lin Yan glanced over and looked at those passages, then retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Go to the Quick Report Department and find the clues!"

boom!
The little white ape jumped to the ground and used the Five Mountains Dragon Capture Technique. Its body grew larger and turned into a white ape about ten feet tall, with knotted muscles. It immediately pushed with both hands.
The two doors of the Express News Agency were pushed open three feet in the middle.

The chaotic energy inside, along with a bloody aura, rushed towards him.

But now the little white ape is both a monster and a human, and has some characteristics of a strange creature, so it just trembles all over and there won't be much impact.

Lin Yan and Lin Lei also saw the scene inside.

Behind the gate, there are ruins.

This originally seemed to be a small temple.

Judging from the remaining traces, a fierce battle took place long ago.

Fallen beams, crooked pillars, broken bricks, cracked walls, and rotten tables.

There seemed to be some fragments of bamboo slips between the broken floor tiles, but they had rotted so much that it was difficult to make out the words on them.

"Judge Wu mentioned it before. It seems that this is where the head of the Quick Report Department checks intelligence from all sides."

The Speedy Ghost explained, "A long time ago, Speedy Ghosts like me would report all the information we collected from various sources here, but in the end, it was also sent out from here..."

As He said this, He seemed somewhat depressed and dejected.

As the only one in the Express News Department and the future head of the department, he actually had been told what the Express News Department does by that bastard Judge Wu.

After passing through this temple, there is a pool of blood behind it.

This pond has four neat sides, with equal length and width, about three meters in length.

There was half a pool of blood inside.

The smell of blood hit me in the face.

In a trance, it seemed that there were a lot of ghosts and spirits hidden inside, roaring and howling.

For a moment, Lin Yan felt that it was like the Yellow Spring Water that he had seen in the underworld.

"Were you pressed into this pool and baptized?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

"Yes, that person said that after being baptized in the blood pool, my soul will not disperse, and from then on I will be the messenger of the underworld, the ghost of the modern era." The Speeding Ghost said this, and then said: "Afterwards, every time I was a little scattered, I would go to the pool to soak, and then it would be more condensed."

"It is extremely difficult for ghosts to survive in the world for so many years." Lin Yan thought to himself, "Is it this blood pool that keeps his soul from dispersing and allows it to exist for so long? In this case, this blood pool has an effect on the soul?"

"Master, according to what this kid said, the blood in the pool looks like a kind of precious liquid?" The little white ape's eyes lit up and he whispered.

“It’s hard to say… something that is beneficial to ghosts may be highly toxic to us.” Lin Yan said this and couldn’t help but look at his second brother.

Lin Lei shook his head. He had been following Mr. Lu for quite some time, but he also could not figure out the mystery of the pool of blood.

"Even if it's a precious liquid, we can't take it away for now. Let's pack a few bottles and take them back for Lord Lu to review!"

Lin Yan said this, and sent the little white ape to get two bottles of blood water. Then he looked at the speeding ghost and said in a deep voice: "You have never left the Express News Bureau in all these years?"

"Never before." The Speeding Ghost seemed to have noticed his intention and quickly said that he was not familiar with any place other than the Express News Department.

"You mean, have you left recently?"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "That's right. You have good legs and run fast. Judge Wu will ask you to do something... But since he only regards you as an errand boy, it is impossible for him to come to the Express Report Office to see you every time. Most of the time, he will ask you to see him."

"how do you know?"

The Speeding Ghost was filled with astonishment: "It was Judge Wu who asked me to find him every time. Do you know this?"

-

The other side of the forbidden area.

Li Zhen looked solemn.

There were only thirteen warriors left behind him.

Previously, he avoided many dangers with the help of the talisman given by Fifth Master.

Otherwise, the dozen or so people around him would have to be reduced by at least half.

Among those present, Li Zhen was the only one in the Qi Refining Stage.

He is not too old, but he suffered severe injuries in his early years. His cultivation has been unable to improve at all, and he is deeply entangled by the alien true qi.

Even if he didn't die in this forbidden area, he wouldn't be able to survive for many years.

This forbidden area requires human lives to explore!
But they can’t all be people with low cultivation.

It requires a person at the Qi Refining Realm to act as a guide in order to borrow the talisman mirror and pass on the key clues.

When facing deadly danger, they will not be completely powerless to fight back, and they will not be completely destroyed without even being able to spread the message.

Therefore, someone like him at the Qi Refining stage is the most suitable candidate.

In fact, Mr. Luo, the deputy commander, and even the current palace lord are all in this situation.

On the verge of losing control, or approaching the end of life, in the last remaining years, they will use up their last strength for the human race.

"Last time, the deputy commander explored the forbidden area and escaped by luck... But in fact, although he walked out of the forbidden area alive, he was close to losing control."

Li Zhen thought to himself, "To be honest, the deputy commander lost his life here during the last exploration of the forbidden area."

However, the biggest gain from the last exploration of the forbidden area was that the deputy commander killed the members of Jie Jin and obtained some clues from them.

Deep in this forbidden area, there are many powerful demons sleeping.

And one of them is the second chief leader of Dongshan Prefecture Jie Jin!
"Ready?"

Li Zhen tilted his head and asked.

The thirteen warriors behind him all looked indifferent and nodded slightly.

Their mission this time was not to explore the forbidden area ahead.

But block the passage in front of you!

Outside the forbidden area is a grand and majestic formation, which is completely natural and in line with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams!

The Palace Lord came here in person to find the center of the formation, seal it off completely, and turn this forbidden area into a giant cage!
Even if the powerful evil spirits in the forbidden area wake up in the future, they will not be able to leave the forbidden area directly.

According to the palace master's calculations, as long as the formation is sealed, the "disaster in the forbidden land" can be delayed by at least a hundred years!
As for a hundred years later, perhaps a more powerful existence will appear in the human race, or perhaps a greater catastrophe will come!
But at least we can have peace for another hundred years!

However, according to information from the Zhaoye people, there was a defect in a corner of the formation.

And the missing part is right here!
Li Zhen reached into his bosom, took out a piece of white flesh the size of a fingernail, swallowed it, and said, "The mansion master believes that once he begins to master the formation and intends to turn it into a 'cage', the evil spirits deep in the forbidden area will awaken!"

"When the time comes, they will swarm out through the gap in this cage."

"We are going to perform a blood sacrifice here, using the flesh and blood of the old gods to fill the gap in this cage!"

As he said this, what he had swallowed earlier had already taken effect.

His whole body was throbbing with blood and flesh.

His skin was expanding and his flesh was growing.

But the growing flesh and blood seemed soft and weak.

Li Zhen drew out a knife, cut off his arm and threw it over.

The warrior behind him took the severed arm with an expressionless face, opened his mouth and bit it, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood and swallowing it into his stomach.

Then he passed the severed arm back.

The twelve warriors bit off the flesh from the severed arm one after another and swallowed it into their stomachs.

Afterwards, they began to experience the same changes as Li Zhen.

But the thirteenth warrior held the broken arm with grim bones, lowered his head for a long time, and did not open his mouth to bite.

He suddenly sneered, raised his head, his eyes full of mockery.

"You all always look down on me. Whenever something happens, it's always my turn to do it last... Now even this disgusting arm is covered with your saliva."

The thirteenth warrior grinned and said, "Even things like committing suicide have to be ranked last! But this time, you fools who have eaten the flesh and blood of Tai Sui will not be able to escape death, but I will live in the end..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly bowed down, looked into the depths of the forbidden area, and said loudly: "Welcome to the Grand Master!"
