Wet viviparity

Chapter 73: Yintu, Sitting in the Mist
"Information gap!"

Ji Ming knew very well that Wen Daoyu and Chiyi Langjun could analyze more useful information from the incident of the Yin soldiers passing through the border, but he could not.

Seeing the confused look on Jin Nie Yuan's face, he knew that he couldn't do it either.

The ghost soldiers in the mist shuttled through the village at the foot of the mountain. If viewed with the naked eye of mortals, one could only see a cold wind pushing a ball of mist rolling in the village.

In the silent village, the night watchman thought it was just fog blown down from the mountain.

Wen Daoyu's arms had turned into crane wings and flapped, and he landed lightly on a thatched roof in the night.

Mr. Chiyi stepped on the tail of the stretched snake head, and the red snake under his feet meandered forward, as fast as a ghost, and flashed directly into the village.

The sound of flapping wings came from far away. The Golden Lion Ape and Ji Ming, who was twisting his body, descended together. The two looked at each other carefully in the night.

"The night watchman sees that the mist is not emitting any golden glow."

As soon as the Golden Lion Ape said this, he regretted it. Mortals' minds are distracted, and the light in their eyes is naturally not as strong as theirs. Naturally, they cannot attract the golden mist and clouds.

Fortunately, no one responded to this, and everyone was looking at the mist that was resting on an old thatched cottage.

In the mist, those ghost soldiers vaguely picked up a "person", and then quickly pushed the mist away.

Ji Ming shrank his body and flew around in the room. He saw that the old man covered with a torn quilt in the room had lost his blood and turned into a frozen corpse.

His soul has been taken away by the evil soldiers.

Next, as they followed the ghost soldiers' mist, they realized that the ghost soldiers were harvesting the souls of those who were about to die.

Just before dawn, the ghost soldiers finally pushed the mist back. Ji Ming didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the mist became even thicker.

Wen Daoyu hesitated for a moment and said, "These are the ghost soldiers herding the mist, harvesting the souls of the living and refining treasures."

The Golden Lion Ape exclaimed in amazement: "The Armored Snake is replicating an ancient treasure!"

"He Bao?"

Jiming asked.

"Golden Cloud Crown. Legend has it that once this treasure is released, there will be a scene of the sun rising in the east. It can release golden clouds thousands of feet high and can produce three thousand fire dragon Taoist soldiers."

As he spoke, Jin Ni Yuan showed a little admiration in his words, and looked at Ji Ming to further explain: "His mist is a natural magic, morning and evening it swallows and exhales against the clouds, and can collect two strands of golden clouds.

During these two hundred years, he worked hard day and night, and spent countless efforts to gather countless golden rays of light before he could gather the several golden rays of light that could be emitted from the mist."

Hearing this, Wen Daoyu sneered in his heart and said, "If you want to imitate the Golden Cloud Crown, why do you need the Yin soldiers to graze the mist and nourish it with the living souls? I'm afraid it's a Yin treasure."

Seeing that the ghost soldiers were pushing the mist and were about to return to the lake, Chiyi Langjun said to the three of them, "I want to follow the ghost soldiers into the earth later to find out what's going on. Do you want to come with me?"

Wen Daoyu's eyes showed a hint of intention. He immediately lit three sticks of incense, took a deep breath of the fragrance, and chanted, "Auspicious, auspicious, may the incense protect my soul!"

Mr. Chiyi looked down upon Wen Daoyu's skill of protecting the soul before entering the underworld. A phantom of a flag flew out from behind his head and hung on the top of the head, emitting wisps of spiritual light.

"The precious shadow of the Teng Snake Flag!" Wen Daoyu's eyes were filled with indescribable envy. Although the other party was a disciple from a side sect, he was deeply loved by the master in the sect.

The Teng Snake Flag is one of the Five Elders of Pankui, and is a magic weapon passed down from generation to generation by Master Teng. If one wants to separate a precious shadow from it, it will damage the foundation of the magic weapon.

To be honest, Wen Daoyu felt that the warning significance of this treasure shadow was greater than its practical significance.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Chiyi Langjun was a key protected person in Panku. If one wanted to kill him, one had to first consider the possible reaction of the Panku Mountains.

Ji Ming and Jin Ni Yuan looked at each other. They had discussed the battle in the Yintu under the Dangerous Bird Mountain beforehand, and both thought it was possible to fight. "Be careful. If things go wrong, immediately use your method to return to the Yang world." Ji Ming couldn't help but repeatedly admonish Jin Ni Yuan.

"rest assured."

After deciding on the strategy, one of them flew out a white bone heart bead and hung it on the top of the head, and the other threw out a red gold carp necklace, which turned into three carps to protect the body.

Wen Daoyu almost cried out when he saw this.

The bead on the flying centipede's head shone with silver light, and there was a hint of compassion in the gloomy feeling. It was probably only a step away from the treasure.

Although the necklace is inferior to the beads, it is also a top-grade magic weapon. The red-gold water carp it transformed into has misty water flowing in its movement. It must be a great treasure to protect the body and the soul.

I thought that among the four, I was only second to Chiyi Langjun and on par with Jin Ni Yuan, but I didn't expect that I was the worst one.

Thinking about my own magic weapon, I thought it was a trump card, but now I am embarrassed to show it to others.

"Wen Daoyu!" The Golden Lion Ape shouted to the Taoist priest with a gloating look, "When your soul enters the underworld, it will be in danger if you don't have a good magic weapon to protect it."

Not every magical weapon has the function of protecting the soul. Most general magical weapons have a single function, either for attacking, defending, or for flying. Such weapons are always just tools.

Chiyi Langjun came to Wen Daoyu, hung the Teng Snake Flag above their heads, and said, "Get ready, the ghost soldiers are coming."

"Thank you."

Wen Daoyu felt the refreshing coolness of the hanging flag and thanked quietly.

To be honest, Chiyi Langjun felt pressured. Although the pressure was not very great, it made him think about and take actions to win over Wen Daoyu.

When the soul enters the underworld, it is not for an outing or fun, but to separate from the body. If there is any mistake, it will fall into the underworld forever.

Of course, this is just the dark land under the Mountain of Dangerous Bird, not far from the world of the living, so it is easy to turn back. But if it were the North Yin Underworld or Taishan Gaoli, he would not dare to go down even if he had the courage.

The ghost soldiers pushed the mist and it was close. The four of them squeezed into it together. The next second, the four bodies whose souls were taken away by the ghost soldiers fell to the ground.

As soon as Chiyi Langjun's body fell, it was immediately caught by the tail of the snake and coiled inside the snake's body. This was Chiyi Langjun's backup plan to protect his body.

Ji Ming's flying centipede fell down, and three command flags quickly flew out of a bag hanging on its segmented legs and were inserted around the shell. Three ghosts protected the insect body.

Only the bodies of Wen Daoyu and Golden Lion Ape fell heavily to the ground without any follow-up action.

Ji Ming was taken hostage by the ghost soldiers, his soul left his body, and he felt himself in a vast and vague state, unable to tell the directions of east, west, south, and north. He was neither in the sky nor on the ground.

As he was thinking about it, suddenly a gust of cold wind and rain blew in his face, which made him perk up.

There was only a cloud of smoke in front of me, revealing a steep cliff. I could not hear the cries of animals or birds, nor could I see old trees or dense forests. There was only the rustling of cold wind and the endless black fog.

Ji Ming looked around and saw the Golden Lion Ape, the Chiyi Young Master, and Wen Daoyu, all of whom were exactly the same as him, surrounded by the mist and ghost soldiers, looking at the strange cliff below.

It seems that this is their first time in this dark land.

The ghost soldiers in the mist all have complete bodies, but they are lifeless. They are just like puppets on standby. Otherwise, they would not be able to use them to escape from their bodies.

Just as they were looking down carefully, the mist floating on the cliff suddenly emitted several golden rays of light, which shone straight towards the top of the cliff. In an instant, the gloomy wind and black fog that covered the cliff dispersed.

For a moment, the souls and spirits of the few people hiding in the mist and standing in the golden glow were like heavenly officials riding on clouds to the underworld.
