Chapter 7



The lair of the Yinshan Ghost Mother is hidden at the bottom of the Zhaixing Pavilion. Ningning walked down from the top floor, and the spiral staircase seemed to have no end.

There were flying pavilions and flowing red, and the jade terraces and beautiful rooms. The laughter of men and women spread wantonly with the evening breeze. It was a scene of prosperity and joy, and a jade-like building.

However, when walking alone in it, there was always a gloomy murderous intention that followed like a shadow, making people unable to live in peace.

The candles in the lanterns on both sides of the corridor flickered, as if thousands of ghosts and monsters were suspended in them. The dim orange light was as gentle as flowing water, completely engulfing the girl's slender figure.

The light spots flickered, shining on the ancient carved beams and painted buildings on the wall. The wooden faces of people, some drunken and some laughing wildly, were looming. They didn't look like people enjoying themselves, but more like groups of hungry ghosts.

Ningning walked down the stairs slowly. The Yinshan Ghost Mother should have noticed that a puppet had died and sent other puppets to investigate.

She had left the private room a long time ago. The upstairs was crowded with people and noisy. It was not easy for the Ghost Mother to find the culprit herself.

- Ningning decided to find her first.

The cave was hidden under a secret passage on the first floor. Ningning fumbled around according to the original text and finally found the extremely secret passage. The moment she opened the secret door, she smelled a bloody odor coming from the cave entrance.

She frowned slightly, but did not show much disgust. After taking a deep breath, she turned over and entered the tunnel.

The tunnel was very narrow at first, and it was so dark on both sides that no light could be seen. Fortunately, the sword cultivator had amazing five senses. Even when he could not see his fingers, he could still barely see the road ahead.

As he went deeper and deeper, the cave suddenly became clear.

Several long-burning lanterns were hung at both ends of the passage, like fire in the dark night, with dots of fluorescent light. The surrounding darkness was completely dispelled, and the flickering light made people even more frightened, adding a bit of uncertainty that murder was lurking everywhere.

The narrow passage suddenly expanded, forming a wide circular cave at the end, like a water droplet gradually filling up. In the center of the cave stood a monster with a human upper body and a spider lower body.

That was the famous Yinshan Ghost Mother.

Hearing the footsteps of the person coming, the ghost mother opened her eyes with lifeless eyes. When her head was raised, it made a cracking sound similar to the collision of bones.

This was a monster of extremely large size. Although the upper body of the enchanting woman looked no different from that of an ordinary person, the lower body occupied a small half of the cave, looking weird and bloated. Black hair snaked down her pale skin like a twisting black water snake; her eight slender legs were as sharp as blades, containing a deadly poison that would kill anyone who got hurt by them.

Not to mention her strong strength, after absorbing the essence of the Star-Picking Pavilion for many years, her wounds had mostly recovered.

"...You?"

Unlike her charming woman's face, Yinshan Ghost Mother spoke in a hoarse voice, like an old woman who was about to die: "Sword cultivator?"

Ning Ning showed the Star-Marked Sword on her waist without hesitation and smiled slightly: "That's right."

She raised her eyes and looked at her: "I heard that Yinshan Ghost Mother is very powerful, how did she fall to the point of stealing people's essence? This Star-Picking Pavilion doesn't seem to be built by you, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the real owner?" The Ghost Mother

sneered sadly, and the thousands of spider silks entwined in the cave moved in response: "I can use essence when I want, and the Star-Picking Pavilion can come and go when I want. Do you think I would be afraid of that garbage on the roof!"

"Oh?"

Ning Ning raised her eyebrows: "Your Excellency is seriously injured, I'm afraid you can't fight back?"

"What a joke! Now I am the real master of the building. That demon girl thought she was in control of the whole situation, but she didn't know that most of the demons in the pavilion have become my puppets. When I become powerful, I will take this Star-Picking Pavilion from her."

Ning Ning's words obviously angered the other party a little, and spider silk fell like thousands of raindrops, hanging in the air: "What, a little swordsman, do you want to take me in?"

Spider silk fell down in response, each one was as sharp as a needle, densely woven into a snow-white web, and rushed straight to the girl at the entrance of the cave.

Ning Ning did not dodge -

but an invisible force blocked her and repelled the powerful spider web.

"It's not me who wants to take you."

She curled her lips and smiled softly, taking a step to the right, her tone more respectful: "Madam, you heard everything, right?"

Yinshan Ghost Mother was shocked.

In the narrow passage where light could not shine, in the deep dark color.

A figure in a white dress slowly stepped forward, the dazzling pure white color was like a sharp sword that cut through the darkness, and suddenly cut off the previous quiet and strange atmosphere.

Or in other words, it made the situation even more tense.

The white-bone lady with black hair and white shirt looked like a peerless lady, with icy skin and jade bones, half-exposed breasts, and her hair was like a long waterfall. Under the soft and warm long-burning lamp, she was as light as a dream, really like a person in a painting.

However, when she spoke in a cold voice, it was another scene.

Mrs. Bai Gu frowned slightly and sneered from her throat: "I said I couldn't sleep well recently, it turns out that there is a wild chicken from the mountains that is embarrassing me. Are you worthy of stealing my essence? Your little mouth sounds good, but you are barking like a dog here? I will break your rotten legs!"

Being exposed for stealing things in front of others is not a glorious thing.

Even the Yinshan Ghost Mother was also stunned for a moment, and then emphasized: "Why, do you want to deal with me together with the righteous sword cultivator?"

The sword cultivator clearly had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of the quarrel between the crane and the clam, and waiting for the two of them to finish fighting exhaustedly and then sit back and reap the fruits of their labor.

As long as Mrs. Bai Gu is not stupid, she should join forces with her first to get rid of the little girl.

Humph, you want to fight her?

No way.

Today she will take the sword cultivator's head first!

The Yinshan Ghost Mother said this with determination, while Madam White Bone listened with an expressionless face, not moving a muscle.

Ning Ning smiled softly, tore off the mask on her face, revealing her true appearance hidden under the mask. It

turned out to be... a female demon in the building who she had a vague impression of but couldn't name.

There was no puppet aura on the other party, but the Yinshan Ghost Mother was not sure whether she had planted a puppet on her.

After all, she controlled too many monsters, and she couldn't remember their names or recognize their appearances.

Miscalculated.

It turned out that the sword cultivator was just a cover, and their real purpose...

was just to trick her into confessing the truth!

"Impossible!" Yinshan Ghost Mother was furious, "You clearly have a sword from a sword cultivator on you, and my puppet was killed by a sword cultivator, there's no way I'm wrong!"

"There are indeed several sword masters in the building today. Who knows which one killed the monster?"

Chao Yan picked up the sword clumsily and examined the patterns on it with interest like a child: "The sword master I received was drunk and told me inadvertently that they came here to get rid of the Yinshan Ghost Mother - to be honest, I really have to thank her, otherwise we would not know that there was a thief hiding in the building."

She paused and shrugged nonchalantly: "As for this sword? In order to complete the play, I deliberately got her drunk and stole the sword. Otherwise, how could I deceive your sharp eyes, Your Excellency Yinshan Ghost Mother?"

"You!"

The Yinshan Ghost Mother was so angry that she was fooled by such a low-level demon. She used all her strength to squeeze out a few words: "I will kill you!"

As she spoke, the wind blew and the fishy smell spread. The spider silk swirling on the cave wall came out, revealing the layers of blood stains.

The fishy smell reflected the rich blood color, the long-burning lamp flickered, and a gust of wind passed by.

Chao Yan took a few steps back with disbelief on his face, and was knocked to the stone wall beside him.

"Damn, this blow..."

She didn't even have the strength to get up. She lay paralyzed like a dead fish, trembling as she raised her right hand and pointed at the Yinshan Ghost Mother: "It seems unintentional, but it's hidden deep. The poisonous wind has already penetrated into my internal organs. You are worthy of being the Yinshan Ghost Mother, so vicious!"

Yinshan Ghost Mother:?

She even started to explain it herself, you are worthy of being a big-headed ghost! She didn't use any strength at all this time! What does "seemingly unintentional, but it's hidden deep" mean? It's really just a gust of wind!

Chao Yan ignored her shocked look and turned her head to Madam Bai Gu, saying with a weak breath: "Madam, please make sure to clear this... return our sisters in the upstairs... ah! It hurts!"

Before she finished speaking, her head tilted and her eyes closed.

The person is gone.

Yinshan Ghost Mother was shocked.

She is definitely pretending to be her, you bastard! Can you be a little more shameless! How can there be such a shameless person in the world!

But the idiot Lady White Bone believed it to be true. Her eyes, like a fan-shaped statistical chart, were filled with 60% anger and 40% grief. At the end, she sneered: "You stole my essence and harmed my sisters, you will die!"

Yinshan Ghost Mother: Damn.

The battle is imminent, and Yinshan Ghost Mother can only fight.

The spider silk is stacked layer by layer, each of which contains murderous poison and blood, like silver needles pouring down from the sky, attacking Lady White Bone's head.

The beautiful woman in white dress glanced coldly, and skeletons appeared out of thin air behind and in front of her, like an army with consciousness, protecting the master in the center.

Spider webs were tangled, and bones were smoking.

For a moment, the cave was filled with dazzling white, and the scarlet blood on the stone wall was sticky, which made it even more bizarre.

The vast army of bones were all people who died tragically at the hands of Mrs. Bones. They rushed forward wailing, and their empty eye sockets were like the abyss.

The original text did not describe in detail the scene of the two people fighting. After all, they both belonged to the Calabash Brothers to rescue the grandfather, and they were sent to the protagonists one after another.

But according to the setting, the power of the Yinshan Ghost Mother is higher -

after all, they have eaten the soldiers of others for so many years, and it is really a bit unreasonable if they don't develop them.

The white bone knuckles cut through the layers of spider silk, and the spider web spread out a large area to strangle and crush the skeleton into pieces.

The direct confrontation between the two banshees never stopped. Between the white light and shadow, the White Bone Lady spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked back to the ground.

Although Yinshan Ghost Mother still had some strength left, it was not very good. At this time, she smiled an extremely vicious and panted, "Didn't expect it? You waste! Today I--"

She was suddenly startled before she finished her words.

The little demon in the corner who should have been unconscious actually opened his eyes and stared at her with a little smile.

"Chao Yan!"

Madam Bai Gu laughed loudly: "Use the God-Speed ​​Powder to take me out!"

This was the plan they had agreed on. If Madam Bai Gu was at a disadvantage, she would let Chao Yan use the God-Speed ​​Powder to let them escape in a flash.

The Yinshan old demon thought that he could kill her today, but he never expected that she still had a trick up her sleeve. Haha, you didn't expect it -

suddenly, Madam Bai Gu's expression froze.

The air was filled with a happy atmosphere, and it was a bit awkward for a while.

Chao Yan touched the temples and pulled them gently.

The face skin actually fell down, revealing...

Damn! Why is it still the face of the swordsman!!!

Ning Ning smiled softly and said the words that neither of them had time to say: "Haha, you didn't expect that I prepared two faces."

Yinshan Ghost Mother was struck by lightning, as if she was cheated out of 80 million in an online romance.

Mrs. White Bone rolled her eyes and spit out blood from her mouth.

Damn, why.

Everything started from a stick of incense.

I don't know where the two junior brothers have gone. If I waste time looking for them, I might just make trouble. Now Ning Ning can only rely on herself. If she wants to win this game...

Isn't there a White Bone Lady living on the top floor! In the original novel, the protagonists fight one after another, but it doesn't mean that she can't be a little smart and let the two of them fight in their own nest!

Mrs. White Bone, a free tool, is so sweet.

After getting rid of the demon Chao Yan, Ning Ning easily got the mask that looked like her.

In addition, of course, we must not forget that the demon originally had a human face on her face.

In this way, she had two disguises.

One was Ning Ning, a disciple of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, to get the Ghost Mother to talk; the other was Chao Yan, a demon in the Zhaixing Pavilion, to gain the trust of Mrs. Bai Gu.

Chao Yan's death would definitely make the Yinshan Ghost Mother aware of it and send other puppets to investigate -

but the Yinshan Ghost Mother knew that Mrs. Bai Gu knew nothing about it.

Although there were two powerful demons in the building, they were in opposition to each other.

Even if Yinshan Ghost Mother knew that the puppet was killed, she would never tell Mrs. White Bone because of her secret stealing of essence and her shady identity.

She could only hold her breath and manipulate the puppet to investigate slowly.

Little did she know that at this time, Ning Ning had already found Mrs. White Bone's lair.

As long as the intelligence differences and cognitive misalignments between the two great demons are properly utilized, this situation will not be a problem.

It is not difficult to convince Mrs. White Bone.

She is not Yinshan Ghost Mother, and she cannot use the puppet to identify whether the person in front of her is real or fake. The identity of a sword cultivator is not convenient to approach, Ning Ning only needs to go to pay a visit to Chao Yan, and then hurriedly lead to the existence of Yinshan Ghost Mother...

Even if the other party still had a little doubt before, the anger after the theft of essence is enough to divert all attention.

What did Ning Ning say at that time?

"Madam! I met a sword cultivator when I was entertaining guests tonight. After three rounds of drinks, he claimed that there was a hundred-year-old monster Yinshan Ghost Mother hidden under the Zhaixing Pavilion. I heard that the Yinshan Ghost Mother also relied on human blood to cultivate. She was injured by the righteous a few years ago and her whereabouts are unknown. Could it be that... the increasingly scarce Yuanyang in the pavilion is related to her?"

Madam Bai Gu was not completely stupid yet, and asked hesitantly: "Sword cultivator?"

"That's right! The man claimed to be a disciple of the Xuanxu Sword Sect. Chao Yan did not dare to act rashly, so he got her drunk first and then came to report to you."

This reason had cause and effect, logic and reasonability, and was simply impeccable.

Moreover, Ning Ning secretly made a gesture and transformed the human face that had been hidden in her sleeve into her palm: "This is the appearance of the swordsman. If you don't believe it, wait for Chao Yan to test her in front of this person. The vicious woman will admit her evil deeds."

Changing human faces is a unique method of the demons in the building.

So loyal, so careful, so considerate, and even able to transform into a human skin mask.

This must be Chao Yan's true face! Is there anything to doubt?

So Mrs. Bai Gu was brought here by her.

Mrs. Bai Gu regretted it.

She thought she brought a loyal little follower, but it turned out to be a traitor with a heart as black as coal. Not only did he treat her as a tool from beginning to end, but he also sold her out without hesitation.

Yinshan Ghost Mother hated it.

She thought she had thought it through and would be able to deal with these two people easily, but she ended up falling into their trap. In front of the righteous sword cultivator, she beat the only guy who could be her ally to death.

The Yinshan Ghost Mother screamed: "You actually led the sword cultivator to my lair, you idiot, did a donkey kick your head!"

The dying White Bone Lady gritted her teeth and said: "It was you, the witch, who stole my chance! You stinky woman, you are still barking here, I will beat your mouth!"

"Idiot!" "Thief!"

Why are these two acting like children?

Ning Ning listened to the two of them bickering for a while, then spoke hesitantly: "That..."

Yinshan Ghost Mother, White Bone Lady: "Shut up, you stinky sword cultivator!"

Yinshan Ghost Mother was furious, gritted her teeth and silently recited the spell.

Several crimson poisonous spiders appeared on the bloodstained stone wall, and the spider silk all over it also showed a faint blood light: "Do you think this is the end? I am Yinshan Ghost Mother, commanding tens of millions of poisonous fetuses in the netherworld. Now I still have strength, what can you, a little sword cultivator, do to me!"

"Oh."

Ning Ning touched the cold sheath of the Star Mark sword in her hand, raised her eyes and smiled softly: "Then let me introduce myself."

The Star Mark sword came out of the sheath, and the pearl shone, like a starry river.

The sword energy was like a tide, filling the dark cave in an instant, suppressing the fishy wind that blew on his face.

"I am a disciple of Tianxianzi from the Xuanxu Sword Sect. I have come down the mountain today to eliminate monsters. You can call me--"

She paused and said half-jokingly: "Thousand-layer cake."

"Hahahahaha thousand-layer cake!"

Tianxianzi beside the Xuanjing laughed so hard that his body trembled, pointing at Ningning in the illusion with a smug look on his face: "Brother, did you see that! This disciple of mine is so cute, hahaha!"

Zhenxiao: ...

Zhenxiao glanced at the young man next to him with a white robe full of patches and a grinning look.

How simple and unpretentious, how simple and natural.

How much like a poor child who is several hundred years old and has a low IQ.

Zhen Xiao: "As expected of your disciple."

And, women's minds are so scary.

His sword is still the best.
