Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 498 Humanoid Skin
The gentle breeze is powerless to kill the heat, and the setting sun spreads its wings and flies up the mountain.

This is the portrayal of July in the human world. It seems that the holy sky has collapsed. This day is more hot and unbearable than in previous years. But in the Burial Mountain, the wind and snow are still raging on the earth. Although there are occasional pauses, they have not stopped completely.

There is a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth.

Although the burial mountain is also covered in white, it is still majestic and dark, giving people a sense of depression.

On the gate of the funeral palace.

When the fourth forbidden picture emerged, Feng Qingyan, who was lying quietly in the bronze coffin surrounded by a strange black fog, suddenly opened his eyes and emitted two cold rays of light.

"The fourth taboo..."

But soon, his eyes slowly closed and he fell asleep again.

And the human world.

I didn't know that the fourth taboo had been born.

Even if people knew that the third taboo had been born, perhaps they would not panic too much, because they had the righteous "King in White" who could suppress the "taboo" for them.

Although three of the "taboos" have been violated, they have not brought much disaster to the world.

Or.

Because of the existence of the "White-robed Lord", people did not feel how terrifying the "taboo" was. Therefore, they were not too afraid of the "taboo"...

Just do what you should do.

No matter how terrifying the "taboo" is, there will naturally be "Kings in White" to suppress it.

The world has become accustomed to the existence of the "Mr. in White".

Although the world does not know what happened on the Fushan Ladder in Kunxu Realm, and even caused the arrival of the Ghost Emperor and the collapse of the Holy Heaven, in the end, the third taboo was suppressed by the "Lord in White".

The third taboo did not reappear in the world.

Whether it was Taibulantai or the Confucian Three Burial Mountains, they were unable to deduce the existence of the third taboo, so they were naturally suppressed by the "Lord in White".

but.

Because the world does not know what happened at the end of the Fushan Ladder in Kunxu Realm, many people are looking for the truth of the matter and want to find out why the Ghost Emperor suddenly came?

Why would the Holy Heaven collapse?

Is this related to the third taboo or even the "Mr. in White"?

Under the night.

The wind and snow are still raging on the Burial Mountain.

Before midnight, countless evil ghosts in sackcloth appeared again around the burial mountain, kneeling down and crying at the foot of the burial mountain...

At this time, no matter the scholars in Bocheng, teachers or students in the academy, none of them took action. They didn't need to take action either. When the midnight hour came, Fengcai Tower would come out of nowhere and instantly suppress the evil ghost in hemp.

This has been the case for the past month.

Whenever the evil ghost in sackcloth appears, Fengcai Tower will come out of nowhere to suppress it...

But what is puzzling is that

The evil ghost in sackcloth seemed to be determined not to look back.

Outside Bo City and outside the academy, many scholars and students were watching curiously and wondering why the evil ghost in sackcloth would come to the burial mountain to mourn.
What is this for?
The snowstorm that had been raging for a month was naturally related to the evil ghost in sackcloth.

Or it may be related to the burial mountain.

"Is there something buried under the burial mountain?" a student asked doubtfully, staring at the burial mountain with a frown, "Otherwise, why would the evil ghosts in sackcloth come here every night to mourn?"

"Does Third Senior Brother know?"

In front of the Lingshui River, Mu Yu also asked in confusion.

Yan Shan held a yellowed book in his hand, looked at the Burial Mountain and said, "More than two thousand years ago, the Burial Mountain was called Lingshan. It is rumored to be the place where the Ghost Merchants originated. And the Ghost Emperor was born here..."

When Mu Yu and other students heard this, their faces changed.

"Third Senior Brother, is the Ghost Emperor really born here?"

A student asked in shock.

"Ancient books say so, but it is difficult to verify now."

Yan Shan shook his head, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "But a month ago, the Ghost Emperor suddenly descended and disappeared. Now there are evil ghosts in sackcloth coming to mourn every night. I'm afraid this is true."

"This……"

Many students were shocked.

In fact, not many people in the world are sure whether the Ghost Emperor has really arrived, and even fewer people know about it in the Zangshan Academy.

"Zi time is almost here."

A student said.

As soon as midnight arrives, Fengcai Tower will appear out of thin air.

But before midnight, a shriveled human-shaped skin was seen heading towards the burial mountain.

en route.

When the shriveled human-shaped skin saw the door, it couldn't help but float up and knock on the door with its empty sleeves.

Knock knock—the knock on the door continued.

"who?"

The scholar who was reading at night in the house frowned and said.

But there was no response from outside the door, just continuous knocking, which made the scholar a little annoyed, after all, he was disturbed from studying.

Besides, it's late at night.

"who?"

The scholar put down the book, stood up and asked loudly.

Tuk Tuk——

There was only a knock at the door in response.

At this time, the scholar who was about to open the door became a little alert. After all, knocking on the door so late at night was a bit abnormal.

What's more, he asked twice, but no one responded.

"Who's knocking at the door?"

The scholar walked to the door and asked, but did not open it immediately.

The knocking on the door became more urgent at this time.

"who is it?"

The scholar asked cautiously.

Tuk Tuk——

The knocks on the door became more urgent.

Although the scholar was alert, he was even more confused, so he couldn't help but slowly open the door. He looked through the crack in the door, but didn't see anyone outside, which made him stunned.

Is someone teasing him?
"Humph!"

The scholar snorted coldly, almost convinced that someone was teasing him.

But at this moment, he saw a faint shadow appear outside the door, which seemed to be a floating skin bag.

Human-shaped skin.

When he was surprised.

The human-shaped skin suddenly floated up and swallowed the scholar in one bite.

After the humanoid skin swallowed the scholar, it continued to float towards the Burial Mountain, knocking on doors and swallowing...

At some unknown time, it appeared more than a hundred miles away from Bocheng.

It was exactly midnight.

Fengcai Tower descended from the depths of the sky, emitting a mysterious light that almost instantly suppressed the evil ghost in hemp.

"Woo-"

Seeing this scene, the shrunken humanoid skin couldn't help but make a low "woooo" sound, as if it was angry. At this time, it was like a human standing, suspended in the air, with its empty "eyes" staring at Fengcailou.

There was a hint of anger emanating from it.

Although it was angry, it did not approach rashly. After looking coldly at Fengcai Tower, it looked towards the Burial Mountain.

"Woo-"

After a moment, it made another "wooo" sound, but this time it was not angry, it seemed to be happy.

It looked at Fengcai Tower and then floated towards the Burial Mountain.

Although the mysterious light of Fengcai Tower covers an area of ​​more than a hundred miles, its impact on it does not seem to be very great.

The skin was filled with black mist, which seemed to be able to block the light of Fengcai Tower.

Soon after, it floated below the burial mountain.

"Woo-"

It was laughing loudly towards the burial mountain, as if it was despising something.

After laughing, he turned around and looked at Bocheng and Zangshan Academy with empty eyes, and then appeared in front of a house.

Tuk Tuk——

The knock on the door sounded again.

Soon after, someone came to open the door...

After the humanoid skin swallowed a person, it looked at Zangshan again with cold eyes. After seeing that Zangshan had no reaction, it actually walked towards the gate of Zangshan Academy.

Tuk Tuk——

There was a knock on the academy door.
