Chapter 35 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix

"Little...Little Master, could it be...that you are overthinking?" Ni Jinxuan was a little scared and reached out to grab the edge of Lin Du's cloak.

Yuan Ye and Yan Qing shook their heads at the same time, and then looked at Lin Du at the same time.

"Little Master's suspicion is not a vain speculation." Yan Qing is older than them. He is a member of a small family in Zhongzhou. He has read a lot of books since he was a child. Although he is a sword cultivator, his thinking is much more organized than his two junior brothers and sisters.

After the small world collapsed, it wandered in the void and collided with space to enter this world. It was discovered by the sects in Zhongzhou. Because the discoverer happened to be a cultivator from a large sect, several sects worked together to develop it, and the other sects would pay some rent as an offering, so it became a secret realm for the disciples of the Zhongzhou sects to practice.

This small world is a well-known secret place with a low casualty rate for low-level monks.

He pursed his lips and

said, "As far as I know, there were seven casualties, less than 200 people, and many of them died not in the desert." Lin Du was naturally sensitive to numbers and could almost remember everything he saw, while Yan Qing was more mature and quickly caught up with her thinking.

"It is very likely that something went wrong with the people who left earlier."

Lin Du said, "Or in other words, there is a ghost among the people who left."

Yuan Ye took a breath of cool air and widened his eyes, "A ghost?"

"Incarnation." Yan Qing added, "The flesh and blood were eaten by the willow monster, and the soul was scattered. There is a secret technique about willow branches, called willow branches turning into bones, which can let willow branches replace people's broken bones. It is recorded in ancient books that willow monsters with deep cultivation can become flesh and blood. After eating people, the willow branches can turn into the body of the person eaten." The

person eaten by the willow monster was a human, and the thing spit out was exactly the same, but it was actually a ghost.

This is a big game.

The resentment of the ghosts made the red willow turn into a monster, and the resentment nurtured the willow monster. The ghosts below also took advantage of the willow monster to eat people, drilled into the body that grew out of the willow branches, and changed into a new identity.

The gate opened, and the human form of the Zhongzhou disciples went out. Anyway, the willow monster only eats people, not the disciples' tokens and storage rings.

Lin Du and Yan Qing looked at each other and saw the deep thoughts in each other's eyes.

Yuan Ye cursed, "I want to play a song for them to transcend."

Lin Du lowered his eyes, "It's not impossible, let's go down and take a look."

Yuan Ye exclaimed, and the movement of picking up the erhu slowed down.

Ni Jinxuan was a little worried, "Uncle Master, you don't look good, let's take a break first."

"Before all those gang members come to make trouble, let's go straight to the first scene, otherwise those who come to watch the excitement and share a piece of the pie may step on these skulls..."

Lin Du said, looking at the scattered black dots in the distance, moving quickly like ants towards here.

Yan Qing also agreed, "I'll go down first, Uncle Master, you should be careful."

Lin Du sneered, "I'm not made of paper, don't worry."

Yuan Ye whispered, "Uncle Master can also uproot the thousand-year-old willow monster."

Lin Du held his forehead, "I'm not, I don't have it... Forget it." Yan

Qing took the lead and jumped down with a knife, followed by Lin Du, Ni Jinxuan grabbed her cloak and jumped down with her, Yuan Ye shook his head, muttered, and jumped down as well.

The pit was very deep. Even though the four people used their spiritual power to slow down when they fell, their joints were still hurt.

As soon as they landed, Lin Du frowned, "Such a heavy Yin Qi."

The Yin Qi in the bones had not yet dissipated. She couldn't help but pull her cloak, but it was useless.

Ice cubes are still ice cubes.

The underground is indeed roughly a city. The place where they fell is like the central square of the city. There is a table for offerings. In front of the table, a skeleton is sitting devoutly. The flesh has turned into ice, but the skeleton is still in a meditative state.

Lin Du took a glance and it was probably an altar.

The altar was surrounded by a dense mass of bones of hundreds of people who had passed away.

"So many people passed away here?" Ni Jinxuan breathed softly. She didn't look down just now, so she was a little scared when she met so many skeletons.

Yuan Ye didn't stand firmly when he fell down, and fell directly into the arms of a skeleton with a thud. Then, there was a loud bang, and the skeletons scattered around like dominoes. The neat rows of skeletons that passed away began to collapse and scatter one after another.

Lin Du, who saw this scene, said:...

What the hell did I say just now?

Yan Qing was checking the things on the altar. When he heard the movement, he turned around and closed his eyes silently.

This thing is a descendant of the royal family?

The young man fell forward in front of the sternum, his hands still holding the two halves of the humerus. When he looked up, he knew that he was in big trouble.

"Little... Little Master, I am just, my legs are a little weak, but it doesn't matter, we will just count them as before, look how neat this skull is..."

Lin Du nodded, "If you put your skull on it, it will be just as neat."

Yuan Ye climbed up with difficulty, with a bitter face, "I was wrong, you see, aren't there still a few that haven't been scattered?

Yan Qing walked to the white bones that were obviously in the dominant position in front of the altar, and just as he stretched out his hand, the white bones scattered. There was a sparse sound

, and it disappeared in a flash.

Lin Du raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. There were a total of four people, and a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes appeared.

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, and silently withdrew his hand, "Do you believe me when I say I haven't met Little Master yet?"

Lin Du nodded perfunctorily, "I believe you if you say so. "

Yan Qing felt a little aggrieved, "I really didn't touch it."

There was another sound of whining. Lin Du frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, thinking that some Wolong Fengchong had touched it again.

But no.

Lin Du's eyes gradually became serious.

Yan Qing seemed to have found some theoretical support and said loudly, "Look, little master, I said..."

Before he finished speaking, another skeleton fell.

Yan Qing's voice trembled, as if the erhu was played in the wrong tune and was forcibly pinched by the teacher.

Lin Du narrowed his eyes, "It can't be that your voice was too loud and scared the skeleton. "

As soon as she finished speaking, another skeleton fell to the ground.

Ni Jinxuan's eyes widened, her voice trembling, "Uncle Master... Ghost, haven't the ghosts been scattered yet?"

"What are you afraid of? We are cultivators, we kill ghosts. Unless they become ghost cultivators, it's the ghosts who are afraid of us." Lin Du's head hurt. He had calculated too much before. He looked at the timid rabbit's half-understanding look and slowed down his voice.

"Even if they are ghost cultivators, this heavenly way suppresses the Qin heart state. The four of us are in the Qin heart state. We are the ones who beat them together."

Lin Du said, and there were several more sounds of bones falling. The skeletons that were originally intact were only 20.

She suddenly realized something, "Yuan Ye, go touch the bones that haven't scattered."

Yuan Ye exclaimed, not knowing why, but still went over to touch them.

They didn't scatter.

"Push harder."

Yuan Ye slapped the skull.

The bone pattern did not move.

Instead, Yuan Ye cried out and blew on his red hands.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Du said.

"I found it." Yan Qing answered, looking at the skeletons that were still sitting.

"What did you find?" Yuan Ye looked innocent.

"Count the skulls scattered on the ground, Yuan Ye." Lin Du said.

Yuan Ye obediently counted how many skulls there were.

"One hundred and ninety-six... one hundred and ninety-seven, including the ones on the altar, a total of one hundred and ninety-seven, Junior Master." Yuan Ye's face suddenly froze as he spoke, "This number sounds a bit familiar, Junior Master?"

Lin Du lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Yes, it sounds familiar."

The one hundred and ninety-seven scattered bones are because the ghosts of the bones are no longer in this world and no longer have the power of ghosts to maintain them, so they are scattered.

There are also 197 skeletons under the willow tree.

In other words, a total of 197 ghosts walked out of the small world and mixed in the world they were in.

If Lin Du hadn't broken the formation today, this time, maybe 20 more ghosts would have followed them out.

Ghosts mixed in the human world and resurrected with evil ways.

Previously, I thought it was a vicious willow that ate people, but now I understand it after digging it up.

It's never the willow that is vicious, it's the people.
