Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 1001: Mansion Garden

69, the fastest update of high energy ahead!

As soon as the stone tiger collapsed, other stone carvings such as Qinglong, Suzaku, and Xuanwu went wrong one after another.

The eyes and mouths of these stone sculptures gushed out a large amount of gray sand. The bodies of the four beasts disintegrated, and the ‘sand’ fell down, turning into a pile of gravel in an instant.

When the stone sculpture of the Quartet Divine Beast collapsed, all the people who were still ecstatic before froze.

"You...you ruined the stone carving..."

When the woman saw that the statue of the Four Beasts was damaged, she pointed at Song Changqing and screamed loudly:

"It's over... it's over..."

"What's the hurry?" The old Taoist shouted, "These four stone sculptures are not spiritual at all, but they are dead."

He looked into the distance and frowned:

"Those ghosts are not near the square."

Hearing what he said, everyone was busy turning their heads and looking at them. Sure enough, they saw that the blood corpses and ghosts who followed the crowd all the way in the distance did not come forward. They were just leaning against the outside of the square, as if they were very jealous of this place.

"Well, what's going on?" Aunt Wu was also a little confused when she saw this situation:

"Could it be that what formation was laid here that scared them?"

When she said this, she seemed to remember something, and patted her head:

"I remembered. I heard from my parents that at the beginning of Shenzhuang's reconstruction, the rich squires in the village pooled money and invited people to do rituals in the city..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Aunt Wu was trembling with excitement all over her body:

"The city is even more important."

The people living here are the first group of people who entered the city. With the prosperity of Shenzhuang, they are also the most powerful group of people in the city.

"Perhaps the City Lord's Mansion has been planted with curses early to restrain these ghosts and evil things!"

Aunt Wu's words caused a glimmer of hope in the hearts of everyone who saw the statue of the four beasts destroyed, but soon, this glimmer of hope was coldly extinguished by Song Qingxiao:

"impossible."

Her words were like a pot of cold water, and Aunt Wu shivered.

"The corpses here are very angry. I am afraid that the corpses fished out of the river are stored here."

Song Qing turned his head and glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. The naked eyes of ordinary people here looked no different from other places.

But the spiritual sense can sense the strong suffocation here, and it is almost too heavy to shield and block the spiritual sense of ordinary practitioners.

Her pupils gradually changed color, and dark gold spilled from the center of those pupils.

After the body state, Song Qingxiao found that he had a much stronger control over the body of Nuwa than before.

Even if it doesn't fully show the original form of Nuwa's body, some of the abilities of Nuwa's body can be used.

A green aura rose from the sky above the city lord's mansion, as if a blazing flame lifted into the sky, reflected in her eyes.

This green aura was mixed with the shape of a demon, roaring and roaring at a group of people who had stepped into the boundary of the square.

Li Ghost and Blood Corpse should have seen the existence of these green auras, and were frightened by them, so they didn't dare to step into this place.

"The ghost corpses that besieged us came from here."

The old Taoist nodded after hearing her words:

"I also suspect that this may be the corpse house that the man pulling the boat said."

Although the old Taoist priests also practiced, he was not strong enough. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to easily use his spiritual sense to sense him, and he was afraid that his three souls and seven spirits would be swallowed up by this hostility.

But even if he didn't dare to open his heavenly eyes to see, with his years of experience in exorcising ghosts and hunting demons, he could still sense the dangers of this place, far stronger than Shen Zhuang's yin aura.

Song Qing nodded, then glanced at the ghost in the sky above the city lord's mansion:

"The Yin Qi in this City Lord's Mansion is heavier than other places. I am afraid that this place was the birthplace of the evil Qi in the first place."

According to Song Qingxiao’s speculation, Jiuyou Ghost King’s Distracting Souls should initially control the City Lord’s Mansion, and then spread around Shenzhuang with the City Lord’s Mansion as the center, and then to the Yongqing River and Luohe River, it will be a big Shenzhuang. Block it.

"The evil spirit here is very heavy, so these ghosts dare not step in easily."

In other words, compared to Shenzhuang City, which has been reduced to a ghost domain and is full of ghosts and blood corpses, the danger of the City Lord's Mansion is much greater than outside.

The crowd shuddered, and they understood what she was saying, and they began to cry without tears.

"Then, then can we not go in..."

The smiling face of the woman who spoke at the beginning quickly turned into a cry. Although she knew that the chance was slim, she still begged:

"Miss Song, can you do well, send us out of the village first?"

"No."

Song Qing answered her without looking back:

"But if you don't want to go in, you can wait here."

The city is extremely dangerous, as the woman said at first, they can stay here temporarily.

The affairs of Shenzhuang can never be wrapped up in paper, and once the trouble is big, there will always be some people of good faith to go here.

If this group of people are dead, they might be saved by then.

"..."

When everyone heard her words, they were anxious, angry and helpless, so they turned their heads to look at the old Taoist priest and begged:

"Daoist..."

The old Taoist glanced at Song Qing, his eyes also showed a complex expression.

"Master, I have important things to do when I enter Shenzhuang."

Song Qing glanced at the old Taoist priest and said seriously:

"This matter is very important, it is related to my life and death, so before this, nothing is more important than this matter."

Her demeanor is firm, showing her unshakable attitude:

"If I have the extra energy, I will surely protect you and the seniors from worrying about their lives."

If she is too busy to take care of herself, facing a heaven-defying existence like the Nine You Ghost King, she may not be able to survive, and naturally there is no way to protect the lives of the old Taoist priests and Song Changqing.

"But if I get a chance to live, I will definitely do everything possible to send you out of here!"

She once said something like this when she was in the Shen family. When she said it again, it was obvious that her idea had been decided and it was impossible to change it.

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, and the whole figure seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant.

The life span of the practitioner is much longer than that of ordinary people. He originally seemed to be only forty or fifty years old.

When he descended the mountain, his back was straight, his demeanor and temperament were extremely straight, his eyes pierced, and he was energetic at first sight.

But the successive experiences along the way had already consumed a lot of his abilities, and in addition, he was injured again, showing a bit of apathy.

Now there is Song Qingxiao's words again, his back bends a lot, and his temples seem to have some gray hair:

"What are you talking about nonsense? Master is getting old..."

He sighed, showing a sense of old age, with water flickering in his eyes:

"I don't want you to save me. If you have extra energy, you must save your life first. What does it matter if I live at this age? As long as you and your brother can live, it's fine."

The old Taoist took a deep breath:

"If so... if so..." A faint light of hope flashed in his eyes:

"If everyone can cross this ghost gate and are still alive in the end, I don't want you to send us away, I only hope, I only hope that you can go back with us..."

He murmured:

"I promised the ancestors, how to bring you and your brother out, how to bring you back..."

Song Qingxiao heard his words, but was silent.

In the long silence, she could sense that the hopeful gaze of the old Taoist priest had been falling on her, as if eager to get her answer.

This kind of expectation was very strong, but as time passed, after her silence, she became lost and desperate.

Without looking up, she could ‘see’ the fire in the eyes of the old Taoist extinguishing, but she could not give the old Taoist the answer he wanted.

She is just a passer-by in the trial scene of God's Hell, and this catastrophe of life and death is nothing more than a task for her.

If the mission fails, she may die in the scene; and if the mission succeeds, she will always leave here.

"division……"

After a long time, when Song Qingxiaogang spoke, he was interrupted by the hasty voice of the old Taoist priest:

"Okay, don't talk about it yet!"

He seemed to be afraid that Song Qingxiao would say something he didn't want to hear, and said anxiously:

"The most urgent thing is to go to the City Lord's Mansion and figure out the way of the Nine You Ghost King. I'll talk about the rest later."

The old Taoist priest did not dare to look at Song Qing's small eyes, turned his head, and rushed in the direction of the city lord's mansion first.

"Little sister, brother will also protect you." On the other side, Song Changqing also strode back, patted the gravel on his hand, and said loudly:

"Don't worry, even if you save your life, you won't get anything wrong."

He patted his chest vigorously and made a resounding ‘dong dong’. When he said this, he looked firm, as if swearing.

Before Song Qingxiao responded, he grasped the package on his body again and shouted:

"Master, wait for me."

"...Fu..."

Song Qingxiao looked at the backs of the two masters and apprentices for a moment, but finally followed.

Others hesitate.

The current situation is already obvious, the city lord’s mansion is full of crises, and Yin Qi is the heaviest place in Shenzhuang.

The reason why these ghosts and ghosts dare not set foot here is because they are afraid of the evil spirit inside.

If it is followed up, it is hard to say whether it is life or death; if it does not go and stay here, the three masters and disciples have all left, leaving a group of ordinary people without the slightest magical power. Once these ghosts and blood corpses chase them, There is no doubt that a group of people will die.

Stay or follow up?

After a while, everyone watched the figure of the old Taoist go farther and farther. When they were about to step on the steps at the end of the square, their foreheads were sweating ‘tickly’ and they fell straight down.

"Woo-"

The wind bursts, ghosts cry one after another.

After Song Qingxiao also followed far away, everyone could no longer stabilize.

Aunt Wu gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said to her husband and children:

"It's life or death, and it's destined to go along with Song Daochang and the others!"

Instead of staying here to be nervous, it's better to follow along.

At least based on her understanding of the old Taoist priest, if something really happened, he would never sit idly by.

The family heaved a sigh of relief, and after hearing what Aunt Wu said, they chased after the three masters and apprentices.

When other people saw Aunt Wu's actions, they shook quickly, and at first they hesitated. When they saw that there were few people left, they were scared, and followed everyone else:

"Song Daochang, wait for me."

When the old Taoist reached the entrance of the steps, he had already stopped until everyone gathered in one place.

"Really decided to follow us into the City Lord's Mansion?" He asked.

Aunt Wu said loudly:

"Go in with you!" She also seemed to have the determination to die for a lifetime, and said:

"Actually, if you didn't save yourself several times along the way, I would have died a long time ago."

The nine ghost kings who came to Shen Zhuang, who had something to do with Shen Zhuang, were caught by her ghosts themselves.

As the old Taoist said before, this ghost is extremely powerful, if the hidden dangers it brings are not completely solved, even if it is to escape from Shenzhuang, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape this ghost.

"It's life or destiny. No matter how dangerous the City Lord's Mansion is, I will go in with you."

Others also expressed their opinions. Although there are some who are unwilling to enter, it is obviously more difficult for everyone to stay alone in the square and be surrounded by ghosts than to enter the city lord's mansion.

At least with Song Qingxiao, she will take action when there is a crisis.

The old Taoist nodded and looked at Song Qingxiao:

"After that, I will listen to Qing Xiao's arrangements."

Song Qingxiao responded and said directly:

"We went into the mansion and found the secret storehouse that Master Shen mentioned, and let's talk about the origin of this ghost."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Wu:

"What's the layout of the city lord's mansion? Where is the treasure secret pavilion, does Aunt Wu know?"

When Aunt Wu heard this, she nodded first, then shook her head constantly, a little uneasy and said:

"I have visited the City Lord's Mansion many times when I was young, and everyone in Shenzhuang knows it."

After entering the entrance hall of the lobby, there is a roof for sacrifices in the middle, with flower beds and pavilions on both sides. You need to enter the second door before you really enter the courtyard of the mansion.

There are left and right houses in the courtyard, which are respectively set up with official offices to manage the people's livelihood affairs of Shenzhuang~lightnovelpub.net~ and the center of the courtyard is the center of the Shenzhuang City Lord’s Mansion.

The courtyard is huge, divided into two halls.

The front hall is like an old public hall, used for office work, and a large house at the back is used for the city lord, officials, and family members to live in.

In general, this city lord’s mansion occupies a huge area. If you talk about where to manage taxation, household registration and other related matters, Aunt Wu has some impression.

But when it comes to this secret pavilion collection, Aunt Wu keeps shaking her head again.

"I grew up, and I never heard my father mention that there is such a secret pavilion in the city lord's mansion."

When she said this, she seemed to think of something again:

"However, some household registration management offices, I wonder if these secret collections will be stored, and they may be able to find these documents..."

The veteran Taoist was a little disappointed when she heard that she didn't know the secret storehouse in the city lord's mansion and gave Song Qing a small look.

Song Qing said:

"Then go to the household registration management office first."

The trial law of God's Hell will not really make trialers desperate, and that gleam of vitality must be hidden in countless dead ends.

Since Aunt Wu's father mentioned the existence of this secret pavilion, it was like a clue, then this place must exist, the only difference is whether everyone can find it.

Seeing that she was so determined, the old Taoist nodded:

"Then it's what you said."

There was a hidden crisis in the City Lord's Mansion, so Song Qingxiao naturally took the lead and opened up a way of life.

She held Zhuxian in her hand and the Chaos Blue Lantern in one hand, stepping up the steps.

"Ah-ooh!"

The moment she landed on her toes, the balance barely maintained by Yin Qi on the steps was broken.

The dust on the steps flew up, and in the big green air hovering on the top of the city lord's mansion, the ghost made a roar like an angry roar after being disturbed.
