Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 261 The End of the Bone Spirit
Cinnabar ink, skin and flesh are the talismans, dragons and phoenixes are dancing, one stroke is yang, one stroke is yin, connecting to the blue sky above and the abyss below.

When Xiao Ran walked out of the room, his face, chest and back were covered with strange talismans written in cinnabar.

Master Shugu was already waiting for him behind, and Jingxin and Jingyue had set up the altar.

"Remember, follow the incense smoke and go up. No matter who calls you on the way, ignore them and don't look. This red string will lead you to Lu Cheng. Once you find him, bring him back as soon as possible."

Master Shugu tied Xiao Ran and Lu Cheng's wrists together with a red string, and the bald-headed old man hung a small boat in the middle of the red string.

Then he formed seals with his hands and touched Xiao Ran's brow with his fingers. A warm current came over him, making Xiao Ran's mind dazed for a moment. Then Master Shugu lit the yellow incense, formed seals with his fingers, raised the Sanqing Bell and shook it gently.

"jingle……"

The Dharma bell vibrates and is revered by gods and ghosts.

Xiao Ran's consciousness followed the ringing sound in an instant, floating as if it was about to fly out of his body. It felt a bit like a soul-calling spell, but with some subtle differences.

Xiao Ran did not resist. His consciousness slowly floated upwards following the ringing of the bell. He saw wisps of green smoke rising before his eyes. His consciousness instantly soared thousands of miles along with the wisp of green smoke.

"This feeling is similar to the feeling when I use the spirit clothes. I feel light and weightless, but I don't have the solid feeling of the [spiritual clothes]. It feels like it will be blown away by the wind."

The soul floats out of the shell and feels very comfortable.

It's as comfortable as playing in the water on a hot day.

"Master Shugu and the bald-headed old man can make people do this. Maybe the ability of the soul to leave the body in the novel is also true?"

Xiao Ran followed the blue smoke all the way up, but in his heart he was thinking about the miscellaneous notes he had read when he was in school, which contained some interesting stories.

One of them said that there was a Taoist priest who was face to face with a man, and suddenly he sat in silence. After a day, he woke up and told the man what happened thousands of miles away. He said that it was just a day of hard work that allowed him to calm his spirit and leave his body, and he traveled a thousand miles and came back. However, the man did not believe it. However, a month later, news came back from a thousand miles away, and it was exactly the same as what the Taoist priest said.

There are all kinds of people, and all kinds of occupations. In Li Jingqi's memory, I saw many occupations that I had never seen in the beginner's manual.

These professions may only appear as you go deeper into the mystery city, and I don’t know if I will encounter them in the future.

Xiao Ran was just thinking about it, when suddenly, his soul flew up high and the floating speed increased.

"Why is it so strenuous?"

As his soul flew higher and faster, Xiao Ran felt as if he couldn't breathe. At the same time, his body felt cold, as if it was about to be blown away by the wind.

Xiao Ran raised his head and the thick clouds in front of him began to thin gradually. The sunlight from afar shone on him, but Xiao Ran could not feel any warmth. Instead, there was a gust of cool breeze blowing on his body, and he felt as if his skin was cracking and about to be blown away.

Just when Xiao Ran was feeling uneasy, he suddenly felt a sense of stability under his feet. He looked up and saw a small boat under his feet. The boat dragged him and continued to rise along with the wisp of green smoke.

"How long will it take?"

Xiao Ran raised his head and looked around. He could see stars twinkling above his head, but he could not see the location of the mysterious city.

Just as Xiao Ran was looking forward to the appearance of the mysterious city, his pupils suddenly tightened and he actually saw a person in the distance.

That's right, it's a person.

Besides me, there was someone else at an altitude of 10,000 meters? ?

Xiao Ran opened his eyes wide, but could only see the vague outline of the other person. The figure was like a hill, moving slowly forward in the void.

As if he had noticed Xiao Ran's gaze, the other person paused, turned around and looked towards Xiao Ran.

The two were at least a kilometer apart, but when the other person looked at him, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, and a tearing pain made him cover his forehead involuntarily.

"How dare you trespass into the restricted area!!"

A thunder-like scolding sounded in Xiao Ran's mind.

It almost felt like Xiao Ran was going to be shaken apart.

Suddenly, there was another ringing sound from behind, followed by the voice of Master Shugu: "Don't worry, don't listen, don't look, all the Dharmas are false, just keep your mind focused and don't worry about anything else."

When Xiao Ran heard the voice of Master Shugu, he immediately calmed his mind, thinking nothing and looking at nothing. The only sound was the whistling wind in his ears.

After a moment, the sound of thunder in his mind gradually faded away. Xiao Ran didn't know how long it had passed before he felt something pulling on his hand. He opened his eyes and looked forward.

I couldn't help but gasp.

Mystery City!!
All I saw in the void in front of me were worlds wrapped in white fog, clustered together like cotton candy.

Looking through the white fog, there is an even more bizarre world inside.

There are towering pavilions and palaces, as well as dilapidated ruins and dead forests; there are bustling streets with dim lights, and there are graves and tombstones that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The worlds are connected together, like a palace in the sky in the sea of clouds. It is not magnificent, but it is so huge that Xiao Ran is shocked from the bottom of his heart.

"This is the mystery city!" As a beginner, he had entered the mystery city so many times, but when he really saw this mystery city at this moment, Xiao Ran's heart was filled with shock that he could not find words to describe.

At this time, Xiao Ran suddenly saw a familiar place.

"Bone Spirit Street!!"

This street as a whole looks like a giant snail crawling in the clouds. The lights are dim in the central area. The lights near Donglongfang, Penglai Tower, and Changchun Guild Hall are as bright as day. A yellow river runs through the street.

Xiao Ran could no longer see the direction in which the river flowed, but he noticed that the end of the river was deep in Guling Street, in a deep well separated by a huge high wall. The high wall completely isolated the well from Guling Street, making it impossible to peek into the existence of the well behind the high wall.

There are six statues around the well, but two of them have fallen to the ground and shattered.

The rolling yellow water continuously overflowed from the wellhead, gathering into a dim river below the wellhead and flowing out through the holes in the wall.

"Is this what Bone Spirit Street really looks like?"

Just when Xiao Ran was surprised, an angry roar suddenly came from the well.

The low roar was filled with anger and despair, as well as an evil thought visible to the naked eye, which made the space around the wellhead seem to be distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a hand was seen stretching out from the bottom of the well, with its arms grasping the surroundings of the well, and slowly it seemed as if something was trying to crawl out from inside.

"What it is?"

Xiao Ran's eyes widened. Even though they were far away, the evil aura made him feel fear involuntarily. This fear seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul. It was difficult to suppress and became increasingly stronger.

He could hardly imagine that there was such a monster hiding at the end of Bone Spirit Street, and looking at the appearance of this monster, it seemed as if it would crawl out of the well at any time.

It was at this moment that the statue beside the well mouth trembled, and a strong light flashed, forming a dazzling seal above the well mouth.

The monster was suppressed little by little under the seal.

"call……"

"Fortunately, it looks like this thing has been sealed inside. I guess..."

"Crack..." Before Xiao Ran could breathe a sigh of relief, one of the statues collapsed. Originally there were only four seals on the statues, but now there are only three left. Xiao Ran's mouth twitched and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, the thing at the bottom of the well seemed to have no strength to struggle free at this time, and gradually sank into the well, without the terrifying restlessness just now.

"I go……"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran suddenly felt his scalp tingling. It was obvious that the seal was no longer reliable. There were six statues, but now only three were left. Who knew how long it would take before these things would rush out of the Bone Spirit Street.

When Xiao Ran thought that those beginners in Bone Spirit Street had already developed it into their safe haven and that no one was worried about encountering any danger in Bone Spirit Street, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for them.

If this thing gets out, I don’t know how many people will die.

However, Xiao Ran couldn't take care of this matter now, or rather, it was not his turn to worry about such things. Even if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up.

The three major forces, Donglongfang, Penglai Pavilion and Changchun Society, are at the forefront, so a small fish like me shouldn't worry about it. But I should be more careful in the future and talk to Sister Liu when I go back. At least make sure that if this thing really gets out, I won't be involved.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran didn't dare to delay and followed the red rope in his hand and quickly walked towards the depths of the mysterious city.

When passing by Hongxiang Village, Xiao Ran deliberately looked down.

The place was still engulfed in flames, and from time to time there were cries and screams of grief coming from it.

At this moment, looking down from a high vantage point, I found that the huge Hongxiang Village actually looked like a huge incense burner.

The surrounding mountains are like the mouth of a furnace, and Hongxiang Village is like a lit incense stick in the middle of an incense burner.

this place……

Xiao Ran couldn't help but think of the words of the Yinshan Taoist. This place was created casually by the Taoist priest, and no one knew what the other party's purpose in creating this place was.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly locked on a woman.

"Moju!"

In the sea of fire, Mo Ju sat on the chair that belonged to the old man of the Wang family, like a clay Buddha, motionless. The flames turned the entire Wang family into ruins. Many servants of the Wang family had been burned into charcoal, but they still maintained their previous positions and wandered around the ruins of the Wang family.

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran sighed. He didn't have the ability to help Mo Ju now. He could only look at her deeply. If he had the ability in the future, he could come back and try again.

Xiao Ran's sigh made Mo Ju, who was sitting on the chair, twitch his eyelids slightly. After raising his head and taking a look, although he couldn't see Xiao Ran's figure, he seemed to feel something in his heart.

A knowing smile appeared on the corner of his lips; "This little thief still likes to sneak around so much..."
