Chapter 187 The Second Type of Ghost Domain

Yang He collected nearly ten talismans in total.

But as long as you are in the main world, all the talismans are dim.

This means that the person associated with the talisman can no longer be contacted, just like Nezha who has become a mountain and Junior Brother Qingfeng who has most likely died of old age...

As a result, Queen Jiang's talisman suddenly lit up.

Yang He could sense through the talisman that Queen Jiang was deep in the tomb.

He hesitated for a long time and did not choose to communicate with the talisman. Whether in the world of allusions or the main world, the talisman had no function of compulsory command, and transmitting the thought to Queen Jiang might do more harm than good.

God knows what Queen Jiang is like now.

"Little friend."

Zhang Huayue saw Yang He was distracted and quickly reminded him: "I have inquired during this period. The tomb is connected in all directions. It is easy to get lost if you are not careful. You need to concentrate and be careful."

He couldn't think of Yang He's name, but he felt that the latter was very familiar.

"Yes, thank you."

Yang He responded to Zhang Huayue's expression of goodwill.

The eye worm quietly crawled into Zhang Huayue's Niwan Palace.

Although Zhang Huayue's life may not be saved, at least there is a better chance of survival. Yang He still hopes that this fellow villager can survive.

"arrive."

Yi Qidong stopped at the entrance of a tomb at the bottom of a rock wall.

The fog was thick and when we got closer we saw that the tomb was always lit with candles.

The oil lamp emitted a faint light, attracting some moths to fly around.

Affected by the ghost realm, even insects undergo indescribable changes, with their entire bodies covered with dense holes.

Gusts of mountain breeze blew through the holes, and the sound they made accompanied the singing.

The detectives thought that the candles and lamps were arranged by the imperial court, but Yang He noticed that the style of the candles and lamps was clearly only used in Buddhism.

Lei Dechang opened his pupils, and the palm in his eye sockets extended several meters. "Master Yi, this is a butter lamp unique to the Western Regions branch of Buddhism, but it is filled with... corpse oil."

Xishan was originally located to the west of Dasi’s territory and was very close to the Western Regions.

Lei Dechang has seen many similar butter lamps, but as Buddhism has disappeared, they have all become ancient artifacts passed down from history.

"Got it." Yi Qidong glanced at the faces of the detectives, "There was no similar situation ten days ago. It seems that the cause of the disaster is not simple."

Jiuyou Su Nu was a disciple of Nuwa, but suddenly she became involved with Buddhism.

Is it a coincidence?

He felt that it was not a coincidence, otherwise why would the word "Buddha" also be in the name of the Immaculate Buddha? Fortunately, the few people who had entered the tomb earlier were not seriously injured.

Yi Qidong urged the Yin energy, and the shadow under his feet differentiated into countless lines.

Connect all the detectives' shadows.

Yang He remained calm, but in fact he had already let the black cat take his place.

"Yi Qidong is a shadow ghost, and his abilities are somewhat similar to those of the black cat."

"The monks in the world of allusions can still be called supernatural powers when they use evil spirits, but the monks in the main world are completely the same as evil spirits."

Yang He secretly tried it out and found that the Three Corpses Ghost Domain was unable to resist the erosion of the Nine Netherworlds Su Nu, and the Big Sun Ghost Domain could only protect itself. It was impossible for it to protect dozens of people like Yi Qidong did.

"Times are indeed changing. The power of the revived ghost realm is indeed terrifying."

Yang He's Taoism and immortal body can withstand the test of time, but one must admit that only the later practice of the unity of man and ghost can fully bring into play the ghost realm without leaving any room for improvement.

Of course, there are certainly some drawbacks that are hard to explain.

Everyone stayed at the cave entrance for a few moments, and Min Xiu was responsible for explaining the pros and cons. "According to the information we have discovered, although the tombs are interconnected, there is only one path leading to the main tomb."

“Any branch road will only reach the side tomb chamber at the end after a few hundred meters at most.”

Min Xiu noticed that the detectives had finally made some progress and secretly hoped that more of them could survive.

"From now on, you will assign one person to explore each branch. Don't worry, Master Yi can bring you back at any time."

The detectives had no objection as they already knew the rules.

If the pacification envoy is allowed to go in front, all the murderous ghost monks will have to die, and the same goes for the Taoist priest Corpse Dog and his disciples.

Captain Sun clasped his fists and said, "Our Jialiang Water Village is just a remote place, but we are not cowards and we will not be afraid of death."

Yi Qidong nodded and said, "The compensation will be 30% more."

"Let's go."

The detectives looked excited and walked into the cave one after another.

As soon as you step into the tomb, the talisman that transmits thoughts becomes completely ineffective.

The tomb was empty, and the rough rock walls looked as if they were scratched by fingernails. The candlelight was limited, and the tomb would fall into darkness every now and then.

It wasn't long before they came to the first fork in the road.

"Let me do it."

Captain Sun took the lead without hesitation and went into the cave through the entrance.

After a while, he returned the same way.

"Zhilu, Lord Yi, there is a tomb inside that has been visited. The coffin is open, and the body is nowhere to be found."

The detectives breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no evil spirits, it meant their chances of survival were greatly increased. If they could return to Jialiang Water Town alive, they could all become powerful immortal masters.

Next, they passed two forks in the road, and the constable was willing to volunteer.

There were no casualties during the incident, but one person was frightened. However, he was quickly pulled back to the main road by the shadow under his feet.

The detectives discussed the matter and shared their own ideas about the rules.

Yang He remained silent, rubbing the surface of the rock wall with his right index finger. As they went deeper, the surface became smoother.

The rock wall has gradually begun to reflect reflections.

Yang He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the reflection seemed extremely distorted and hideous, as if evil spirits were staring at them from inside the rock wall.

"Mirror?" I don't know if it's an illusion, but the reflection clearly behaves the same way.

But it's like deliberately imitating myself.

The atmosphere became solemn, and everyone could see that something was wrong with the tomb.

"Master Yi!!"

Min Xiu's exclamation broke the silence. The detectives stood there in disbelief. There were no more than three forks in the road before, but now there were suddenly eight forked entrances.

The candlelight in the cave entrance was dim, as if it were the open mouth of a man-eating beast.

"Don't hesitate. Jiuyou Su Nu has several pacification envoys to hold her back. You also have Lord Yi's help behind you. Hurry up and explore the way!"

Captain Sun sent eight people to enter the cave, while Yang He took the initiative to mix in.

Yang He chose the fork in the road closest to Yu Zheng. His spiritual vision was normal from beginning to end. It was very likely that it was just as Min Xiu said, Jiuyou Su Nu was currently too busy to pay attention to the inside of the tomb.

But the next moment.

As soon as Yang He arrived at the fork in the road, his spiritual vision began to increase dramatically.

The surrounding rock walls seemed to have been polished, no less polished than a bronze mirror, and the surface was full of cracks, resulting in the projection of countless reflections.

The reflections from all angles show the same movement, which is quite weird.

Plus dim light.

Yang He was used to big scenes and felt a little scared, so he subconsciously quickened his pace.

Snapped.

He touched the rock wall with his toes, and with a quick glance he realized that he had deviated from the direction. Each mirror looked like a path leading to the end.

"who?!!"

Yang He looked up and saw a mirror in the corner projecting a grayish-white dead face. The face was exactly the same as his own, but something was reaching out from the deep darkness of the mouth.

The upper and lower jaws of the dead face were dislocated, and its long and narrow arms grabbed towards Yang He.

The stone arm broke out of the body.

The dragon head hit the rock wall with great force, and it broke into pieces. However, the dead face seemed to be an illusion, and there was only his own distorted figure in the mirror.

Yang He took several steps back, and the rock wall behind him stretched out its arms again.

The number of dead faces increased, trying to trap him from all directions.

"Ah."

Yang He was worried that Yi Qidong was outside, so he simply used the corpse-transmutation technique. Immediately, corpse spots covered his skin and flesh, sharp fangs grew out, his pupils turned lifeless, and red hair spread wildly.

The moment the yang fire went out, the dead face disappeared.

Yang He no longer hesitated. He used the ghost hand to pass through the rock wall and went straight towards the breath according to the eye worm in Yu Zheng's body.

The black cat stayed where it was to prevent Yang He from getting lost in the tomb.

.........

Everyone heard endless screams, which lasted for half a breath and then stopped abruptly.

Yi Qidong's face changed, and the shadow ghost retracted the shadow thread that was wrapped around the constable's feet, but it made the sound of heavy objects being dragged.

Six bodies were pulled out of the cave, their deaths were horrific.

His entire body was covered with purple handprints, his flesh and internal organs were exposed, and he looked as if he had been swapped from the inside out.

The only living person had gone crazy, crying and laughing while slapping his head.

"Another kind of ghostland."

After Yi Qidong finished speaking, Min Xiu said in disbelief: "Could it be..."

"It has nothing to do with Taoist Corpse Dog. Jiuyou Su Nu has two types of ghost domains."

Yi Qidong narrowed his eyes and looked at the fork in the road that Yang He entered. Logically, there should be seven bodies.

He carefully recalled the appearance of the constable, but his impression was vague.

Yi Qidong was certain that this person was the Immaculate Buddha. The Immaculate Buddha, who had lived for more than three thousand years, could blend into the crowd without leaving any trace.

"The Immaculate Buddha did not abandon his internal organs, otherwise there would be no flaws."

"If he were to make an enemy of the Grand Secretary's court, it would be very difficult."

Yi Qidong remembered that there were more than one or two disciples of Nuwa. If the rumors about Nuwa's revival were true, could it be that the Immaculate Buddha came for this?

He knew he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to catch up with the Immaculate Buddha as soon as possible, even if it meant taking risks! !
"Min-soo."

"My subordinate is here."

"My ghost realm will protect you for half an hour. Return as soon as possible. This place is no longer for you to participate in."

Min Xiu nodded in agreement, worry in her eyes. Although Yi Qidong hated killing innocent people, he was not the type of person who cared about the life and death of the detectives.

She watched Yi Qidong disappear into the darkness.

It can only mean that the situation in the valley is likely to get even more out of control, and being outside the tomb may mean death...

The detectives felt relieved and followed the previously marked trails.

The candlelight flickered violently, and the interweaving of light and darkness seemed to distort the entire space, bringing a different sense of oppression.

"wrong!!!"

Min Xiu stood still, his breathing becoming heavy.

There were eight more forks in the road in front of them, and six bloody corpses were lying there with a mocking smile on their lips.

Lei Dechang and Captain Sun looked at each other and counted the number of constables at the same time.

Both of them felt a pang in their hearts.

The corpse fairy has disappeared.

There is a dead end ahead, and there is also a dead end behind.
