Chapter 165 Guardian Spirit 33

The destination is getting closer.

There was silence in the car for a moment, Yao Rong chuckled: "Then I won't be invisible, I will just follow you and appear in front of them."

Yao Rong felt that Xie Yinian was a little too harsh on herself.

If her identity was not exposed, a lot of unnecessary troubles could be reduced. So both she and Xie Yinian subconsciously chose to keep this secret.

This is understandable and human nature, and it should not become a tangled problem.

But since Xie Yinian is mentally prepared to face troubles, let it go.

Yao Rong reached out and turned on the local radio in the car.

The clear voice of the female anchor came from the radio: "According to the news from the Public Security Bureau of this city, a criminal gang has been smuggling into this city in recent days, causing many shocking murders. Our reporters remind citizens not to go to the mountainous areas in the southeast of this city during this period. Citizens living near the mountains in the southeast are also requested to cooperate with the actions of the Public Security Bureau..."

"According to the weather station, there have been abnormal astronomical phenomena in the southeast recently. Citizens please pay attention to traffic safety when traveling..."

The murder in the small mountain village and the abnormal astronomical phenomena in the southeast cannot be concealed. In order to avoid panic among the people, the D City Government has taken these emergency response measures.

The destination is getting closer and closer.

Xie Yinian turned a corner and saw that the world in front of him seemed to be divided into two halves by a ghost den.

Outside the ghost den, the sky was clear, with the sound of wind and insects.

Inside the ghost den, the environment suddenly became gloomy and dead silent.

Xie Yinian stepped on the accelerator and drove into it.

The moment he touched the ghost den, Xie Yinian clearly felt that the flow of spiritual power in his body was not so smooth.

On the contrary, Yao Rong was like a fish in water.

The navigation failed, the mobile phone signal also disappeared, and the needle on the compass also lost control. Fortunately, the Tianshi League had reminded Xie Yinian long ago. Xie Yinian opened the offline map and drove for about ten minutes. Finally, with the help of the dim car lights, he saw the plaque of "Qingyang Village" on the side of the road, and also saw several people standing next to the plaque.

"Someone is coming."

Several people standing by the plaque also noticed Xie Yinian's car and perked up.

Like Xie Yinian, these people belonged to the Tianshi League, but they did not need to stay in the office.

This time, faced with such an urgent task, the Tianshi League immediately issued a notice to summon all of them who were not far from H City.

Xie Yinian was also very familiar with the square-faced middle-aged Taoist priest who was in the lead -

the head of the Tang family, Tang Caizhe.

Xie Yinian couldn't help but glance at Yao Rong, then he stepped on the brakes, parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car with a sword in his hand, opened the door for Yao Rong, and greeted everyone.

Tang Caizhe's attention was not on Xie Yinian at all, and he stared blankly at Yao Rong who got out of the car.

Nearly twenty years have passed, he has gradually aged, but Yao Rong is still the same as in his memory.

"You... have you been okay these years?"

Yao Rong nodded and said calmly: "Fine."

Her calmness calmed Tang Caizhe's excitement a little. Tang Caizhe wiped his face to cover up his gaffe: "We are obviously from the same generation, but now standing together, it's like two generations."

"My mother takes better care of herself." Xie Yinian interrupted, trying to attract Tang Caizhe's attention.

Tang Caizhe said to Yao Rong: "I remember you didn't plan to come at first?"

Yao Rong was about to answer, but Xie Yinian answered first.

He took all the responsibility on himself: "After my mother escaped from the evil land, her meridians were damaged and her strength was not as good as before. So at first I advised her not to come, but she was worried about me and wanted to provide some help to everyone, so she followed me here."

Tang Caizhe became worried instantly and asked Yao Rong: "Are you not as strong as before? No wonder you haven't shown up in these years. Well, I say you really shouldn't have come. Now that you have entered the ghost den, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out. Do you have enough life-saving props on you? I have prepared a lot."

Xie Yinian: Hey, hey, hey, this is not polite. I'm a 1.83-meter-tall living man standing in front of my mother. What's with that look, Elder Tang? You can ignore me and talk to my mother as if no one is around?

Several unfamiliar Heavenly Masters beside Tang Caizhe also couldn't help laughing: This Zhaodan Sword Master deliberately emphasized "my mother" as soon as he opened his mouth. I thought he was a cold and arrogant person, but I didn't expect him to be so funny.

Yao Rong looked at Xie Yinian, then looked at Tang Caizhe, smiled and said, "It's okay, Yinian will protect me. And since I dare to come, I must be able to protect myself and won't hold everyone back."

Although Yao Rong no longer worried about being exposed, there was no need to tell everyone "I am the Ghost King".

What's the point of giving away all the cards at the beginning?

Tang Caizhe finally noticed Xie Yinian and said with a smile: "I am the person in charge of this operation. Now there are still three people who have not arrived. There are more than 20 minutes left before the gathering time. Let's wait on the side."

When he was young, Tang Caizhe did have some interest in Yao Rong.

But after so many years, that friendship has long been subsided into the memory of an old friend.

Tang Caizhe introduced several other Tianshi to Xie Yinian and Yao Rong.

In this operation to explore the ancient tomb, in addition to Yao Rong, the Tianshi League sent a total of 16 people.

Except for Xie Yinian, the rest of the people are not young, and the weakest one can fight with the ghost servant.

After all, this time they are facing a powerful ghost at the guard level. If the Heavenly Master who comes is too weak, he will just be killed.

Xie Yinian asked: "Are the remaining three people from the Xie family?"

Tang Caizhe was about to answer, but suddenly raised his head and looked behind Xie Yinian.

At the end of the road, car lights flashed, and then a car stopped in front of several people.

Chief Xie, Xie Zuo and an elder of the Xie family got out of the car.

Yao Rong raised the corner of his lips slightly, and the smile did not reach his eyes: everyone came in an orderly manner.

Just as he stood still, Chief Xie, Xie Zuo and the elders of the Xie family fixed their eyes on Yao Rong.

The eyes of the elders of the Xie family almost popped out.

However, no matter how surprised they were, they only secretly murmured in their hearts that Yao Rong was well-maintained, and did not think deeply about it. "Tianshi will not turn into ghosts after death", this is common knowledge known to all in the Tianshi world.

Elder Tang said: "Since everyone is here, I will distribute the supplies to everyone first."

Before coming here, everyone must have brought a lot of talismans and magic tools.

The Tianshi League also prepared a copy for everyone, which was packed in a mountaineering bag.

Elder Tang distributed the mountaineering bags to everyone, even Yao Rong had one.

Yao Rong was surprised: "Do you have extra?"

Elder Tang nodded: "Yes, it's better to be prepared, there just happened to be an extra one."

Yao Rong took the backpack and checked the supplies inside. There was three days of water and food, a stack of 100 Five Thunder Talismans, a high-level defense bracelet, and several arrays used to seal ghosts.

Of course, there were also flashlights, mountain maps, photos fed back by satellites, etc.

Yao Rong took out the flashlight and defense bracelet, followed the crowd and put on the backpack, and walked up the mountain with the others through the small mountain village with a strong smell of blood.

Elder Tang walked in front and led the way, saying loudly: "Everyone should know that this tomb is most likely the tomb of a prince in the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Before the Western Zhou Dynasty, great witches often controlled political power and witchcraft flourished. Even in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the status of witches gradually declined, but sacrifices were still popular at certain times and occasions, especially human sacrifices."

"For a princely tomb like this, once human sacrifices are performed, at least a thousand people will be sacrificed. The death energy and resentment generated by a thousand-person sacrifice will likely turn some of the burial objects into funerary objects. Funerary objects will in turn nourish ghosts."

"So, the alliance speculates that there may be more than one ghost in the tomb, so don't let your guard down."

Patriarch Xie smiled slightly. Although he was not the person in charge of this mission, as the head of the Xie family, he was on an equal footing with Elder Tang in this operation: "Indeed. The speed of the ghost den is spreading too fast. If there is only one ghost guarding the law, it is completely unreasonable."

This walk took a full four hours.

The visibility in the ghost den is extremely low, and the road is rugged. At the beginning, everyone was whispering to each other while walking, but later they gradually stopped talking and just walked with their heads down.

Suddenly, Yao Rong reminded him, "Go one kilometer further and you will reach the Yin Sha Land."

The Yin Sha Land is the core area of ​​the ghost den, and the danger there is definitely far greater than the outer area.

Elder Tang stopped and asked Yao Rong, "Are you sure?"

Yao Rong nodded, "The trees here have been hit by a very strong Yin Qi, which is completely different from the trees at the foot of the mountain."

After saying that, Yao Rong gestured to Xie Yinian.

Xie Yinian pulled out a dagger from his waist, walked to the nearest tree, and casually cut off the outer bark.

The trunk of the tree was exposed. From the outside, there was nothing abnormal about the tree, but inside it had long been rotten and lost all vitality.

Elder Tang made a prompt decision: "Stop to eat first, and then enter the Yinsha Land after you have rested well."

They had walked on the mountain road for four hours and were already exhausted. When they entered the Yinsha Land, they didn't know what kind of crisis they would encounter, so they had to adjust their condition to the best here first.

Xie Yinian took out his coat from his bag, spread it on the ground, and let Yao Rong sit on it.

He squatted beside him, ate two mouthfuls of dry food and drank a sip of water.

Yao Rong also took out dry food and ate it silently.

Her dry food and water were not prepared by the Tianshi League, but were cooked in advance on the way here.

After eating, everyone sat cross-legged and meditated. After resting for a full hour, Elder Tang let everyone continue to move forward.

Sure enough, after walking for about fifteen minutes, everyone could clearly sense that the concentration of yin energy around them had increased, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for the spiritual energy in their bodies to circulate.

Elder Tang took out the satellite images from his bag and led everyone around for a while.

Finally, everyone saw a piece of land that was completely sunken, and also saw the ruins of a palace faintly exposed under the land.

Elder Tang took out a compass with a wildly swinging needle and said, "The concentration of ghosts here is the strongest. The guardian is in there, let's go in."
