Chapter 23 I am a member of the Demonic Cult
"Great Immortal, please spare my life..."
Seeing the female ghost kneeling down on the spot, Lin Yun was also stunned.
Is this ghost so cowardly?
"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a mortal. Are you sure you don't want to fight?"
"You are such a joker."
The female ghost huddled up in fear and said, "Great Immortal, I am just a little ghost who has been trapped in the tomb and has never gone out to hurt anyone. I am a good ghost. Seeing your righteous appearance, you are a reasonable person. How about giving me a chance to live?"
"But I am a member of the Demonic Cult."
Female ghost: “…”
Too sloppy.
Lin Yun found that the female ghost was frightened and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I can lead the way for you. This tomb is full of traps. If you are not careful, you will die."
Lin Yun shook his head. In this unknown place, he might as well explore it by himself. If he believed in the female ghost, what if she deliberately led him to a place with traps and he ended up falling into her trap?
"I can be used by you, and I have some fighting ability."
Lin Yun still shook his head. This reason was still not sufficient.
Seeing this, the female ghost knew that she had no other options, so she finally said resentfully, "Well... I can still warm the bed."
Lin Yun: “…”
Do female ghosts nowadays have such a strong desire to survive?
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Lin Yun finally nodded and said, "I don't want you to warm the bed, I'm just curious, can a ghost like you really warm the bed?"
The ghost girl said coyly, "If you move, you will naturally get warmer."
I doubt you are driving.
Lin Yun coughed twice and said, "First, tell me your name, your origin, and where this place is."
"This is the Dragon Tomb of the Pingxi King. I am a maid in the Pingxi King's mansion, and my name is Qiu Ping. The prince killed a demon dragon, and this is the dragon's tomb. Although the real dragon is dead, the residual soul is still there. In order to suppress the dragon soul, the prince set up the Four Symbols Sealing Demon Formation.
After the formation is completed, the dragon's wrath must be appeased. I will be buried with the immortal in the tomb. The souls who died at the hands of the immortal just now were also buried with the immortal. "
"King of Pingxi? Never heard of him."
Lin Yun knew about the Great Zhou Dynasty, but although the current Great Zhou Dynasty was nominally the ruler of the world, its actual control ability was very limited, so naturally there was no king in other places.
“How could it be…”
Qiu Ping was obviously very shocked, but then she figured it out.
"I have slept in this tomb for many years, and I just woke up recently. I think many years have passed outside. Even dynasties change, not to mention a royal palace."
Lin Yun became interested, so he asked, "What year did you die?"
"It's the 967th year of the Taihao calendar. How long has it been now?"
Lin Yun: “…”
Taihao calendar, what era was this happening in?
Lin Yun knew too little about the history of this world, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, it's been almost seven thousand years."
Lin Yun made up a time at random. If he said he didn't know it, wouldn't it make him seem uneducated?
If that really happens, he can only kill the ghost to silence him.
So this is not a lie, it is a white lie.
"Seven thousand years... no wonder the palace is gone."
Qiu Ping felt a little disappointed, and then asked, "What about the King of Zhennan, the King of Zhenhai, and the King of the Northern Spear, do these royal palaces have any successors?"
"Of course, their entire family is gone."
"Human Emperor Ji should still be here, right?"
"The current emperor's surname is Zhao, so he can't be considered the emperor of mankind."
Qiu Ping had already begun to suspect that a ghost had resurrected, and Lin Yun couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad. After all, you are just a maid who was buried alive. There is no need to worry about such things."
Qiu Ping: “…”
Although what Lin Yun said made sense, what should she do if it made her even more sad?
"Since you are a burial sacrifice and you say you are familiar with this place, do you know how to leave this cemetery?"
Lin Yun learned a little about the background story and began to ask about how to leave.
Although this is a good place for Lin Yun to level up, it is still too dangerous. It is safer and more comfortable to practice at the bottom of the lake.
"You are allowed to enter the Dragon Tomb but not leave. This is also a trap formation that traps the remaining soul of the real dragon here to prevent it from escaping and causing chaos. If you want to leave, you can only go to the tomb and kill the remaining soul, and this formation will collapse on its own."
"Your prince couldn't destroy it back then, and you want me to destroy it now? Are you trying to trick me into dying?"
Lin Yun rolled out a fireball, frightening Qiu Ping so much that she quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, Immortal. In this trap, the dragon soul has been weakened. Your divine fire can burn the soul, so the dragon soul must be no match for you."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Yun stared at Qiu Ping, and Qiu Ping seemed a little hesitant.
"I'm... not sure."
Lin Yun: “…”
This female ghost is probably a little silly.
"Well, then you lead the way for me. If I can't kill the Dragon Soul, I should have no problem killing you."
Qiu Ping: “…”
She suddenly lost some confidence.
But she had no choice but to submit to Lin Yun. The ball of fire that Lin Yun took out made her completely unable to resist. Her keen intuition could sense that as long as she touched the fire, her whole body would be burned.
"Then come with me, Immortal."
Qiuping took Lin Yun to find the mechanism, and the stone door at the end of the passage slowly opened.
This is a large hall with a huge phoenix carved in it. Flames are burning on the phoenix's body, making the statue look like it is alive.
Also because of the fire on it, the hall was very bright.
"This is the Vermillion Bird Palace. The Vermillion Bird's fire never goes out because there is a fire-attributed fairy stone in its belly. The fairy stone contains rich spiritual power. This fire is enough to burn for tens of thousands of years."
Qiu Ping was like a tour guide, explaining to Lin Yun that there were many murals in the Suzaku Hall that recorded the achievements of the predecessors at that time.
She had just walked to the front of the mural and was about to explain the story to Lin Yun when she suddenly heard Lin Yun ask, "It shouldn't have much of an impact if this statue is destroyed, right?"
"Of course, the Four Symbols Formation has already been formed, and the statues are only to show respect for the sacred beasts, and have no other function."
Qiu Ping was still curious about why Lin Yun suddenly asked this, and then she heard the sound of stone breaking. She turned around and saw that the fire of Suzaku had been extinguished. Lin Yun took out a fiery red stone from Suzaku's belly.
"Is this the fairy stone? It is indeed full of spiritual power and looks very beautiful."
After getting the fairy stone, Lin Yun felt much more relaxed. Although there was still plenty of spiritual fluid in his body, he couldn't replenish the spiritual energy here, which still made him feel insecure.
It’s like going out for fun without a power bank, it’s really unsettling.
Qiu Ping: “…”
"Why? Didn't you say it wouldn't destroy the formation and wouldn't have any impact?"
"Uh, it's nothing, as long as you are happy."
Qiuping smiled.
Maybe this is someone from the Demonic Cult...
