The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 288 285: Ghost Disaster (Please vote!)

During the year that Chu Zhou was away, Xuanzhen Palace was almost always in a closed-off state. Once the mountain protection formation was activated, no one would be noticed no matter who came.

In this state, almost all the disciples and followers were recalled, even the intelligence personnel who could not return, all went into silence and stopped working.

It can be said that apart from the red and white notices at the Yellow Crane Tower and the task list, there is no other way to contact the Xuanzhen Palace.

However, if you are serious, there is another team operating deep in the Red Dragon Mountains.

That was an elite team led by the Divine Calculator. In addition to the Divine Calculator, there were fifty second-generation disciples, led by Zhuang Chaofeng and Gu Pingchuan, who had already reached the great perfection of Qi training.

These two people were only one step away from building their foundation, and they did not distract themselves with auxiliary practices. Instead, they focused on fighting. They had impressive attainments in both martial arts and magic.

Such a team is at the level of being able to walk sideways in the Red Dragon Mountains. Even those powerful spirit beasts can hardly pose much threat to them.

If we were to say which team brought the most benefits to Xuanzhen Palace in this year, it was either other halls or this team.

They went through wind and rain and managed to find three spirit stone mines, two spirit iron mines, a large gold mine, and a cinnabar mine in the undeveloped mountains and swamps of the Chilong Mountains.

These alone can be described as fruitful results, not to mention that they also found the place where a meteorite fell.

That was before the arrival of the Great Red Dragon, when the world was still a desolate place. A large number of meteors streaked through the void and smashed into the earth, leaving traces behind.

These meteorites have been roasted at high temperatures and frozen at low temperatures, and what remains are the essence of thousands of temperings, all of which are excellent materials for refining weapons.

Although these mineral deposits have only been found and not mined or collected, the harvest is already quite impressive.

For this realm, the immortal civilization is just the beginning, and don’t even think about any advantageous products.

Therefore, the only valuable things that can be sold in Wanxian City are these mineral deposits.

From this perspective, apart from the Palace Master Chu Zhou, the one who made the greatest contribution to the entire Xuanzhen Palace was the Divine Calculator.

However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or just good luck, but just when Chu Zhou was about to leave, something happened to them.

The Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note seemed to be disturbed, so that the sound was full of noise and could not be heard clearly.

But there is no doubt that they were attacked!
What was even more surprising was that the location they reported did not have any ancient immortal seal on the map.

To be precise, that is the intersection of three ancient immortal seals, the end of the formation, and a no-man's land.

But it was hard for Chu Zhou to imagine, if it weren’t for the power leaked from the ancient immortal’s seal, who could have made them so embarrassed?

However, guesses are just guesses after all, and rescue must be carried out as soon as possible.

Chu Zhou did not delay. After understanding the specific situation, he directly raised the cloud and disappeared into the sky.

The double-restricted somersault cloud, with only Chu Zhou on board, was extremely fast, like a meteor with a tail flame that disappeared at the end of the sky in a flash.

However, Chu Zhou would still stop at certain distances, take out a small bottle, extract a drop of blood, and cast the "Bloodline Tracing Curse" to determine the location.

I have to say, although this magic technique seems to be a kind of curse, it definitely has excellent effects in terms of positioning.

Moreover, there were fifty disciples going out this time, and almost everyone left a small bottle of blood to cast spells. Even if they were at the ends of the earth, they could not escape Chu Zhou's pursuit.

If the sky-covering fog is regarded as the end of the sky, the area of ​​this world is actually not small, and the area where human beings live is only in the southeast corner.

That’s right, Dayun, Dayan, and the location of the Golden Horde are actually just a corner of this world.

Going west, northwest, and even east, there are continuous mountains, one upon another, almost all of which are mountain peaks.

The area of ​​the entire Red Dragon Mountain Range is definitely several times larger than the area where the human race is located.
However, compared to the plains occupied by humans, these rolling hills are not suitable for human life.

Therefore, the level of development is not high!
But even so, the area is extremely large and it takes a long time.

However, with the fog monster around, Chu Zhou didn't need to concentrate on controlling the direction. As long as he pointed out the direction, he could keep moving forward day and night.

In this way, he spent three days and three nights and almost reached his destination without a hiccup.

The closer Chu Zhou got, the more he realized that the location pointed out by the divine fortune teller was not wrong. If it was based on what the jade slip said, this was actually not the location of the ancient immortal's seal.

But Chu Zhou has already discovered something wrong!

Because the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, just like the night before a sudden rain in midsummer, dull and depressing, making people feel breathless.

At this moment, Chu Zhou was filled with confusion, because this didn't seem like the kind of noise that could be made by a certain person or an ancient immortal. Instead, it felt a bit like he was in a secret realm, with his mind shackled.

It seems that the heaven and earth have undergone some unknown changes!

He could sense everything, let alone snakes, insects, rats and ants. He once stopped the cloud and observed the earth carefully.

Then, he discovered that the wild animals on the ground, from big spiritual beasts to small insects, seemed to be very restless.

It's like they feel threatened, but can't pinpoint where the threat is, so they become restless.

The flowers, plants and trees, on the other hand, looked a little wilted and lifeless.

In this situation, all Chu Zhou could think of was that a certain ancient immortal who was more powerful than he could imagine had escaped, leading to this scene.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely. Having studied the sealing formations in depth, he knew clearly that the more powerful the ancient immortal was, the more difficult it would be for them to escape.

Such a movement is something that even the Demonic Blue Dragon in its most victorious period could not achieve.

Therefore, Chu Zhou would not believe it if someone said that there were ancient immortals above the level of Lianxu who had escaped from the seal.

But if it weren’t for the ancient immortals, how did the changes in the world come about?
This problem troubled Chu Zhou all the way and made him extremely vigilant, but his pace did not slow down at all.

As he got closer to his goal, the world changed more and more, and he finally realized the source of that problem.

That was actually the ghost energy of the Netherworld!
……

The sky was covered with dark clouds, the light was dim, and all that could be seen was gloom.

On the earth, the grass and trees are withered, the rocks are twisted, and the trees are deformed, like shadows.

There was a chilly wind blowing, whimpering and wailing, so cold that it was bone-chilling and enough to freeze the soul.

There were also shadows wandering in the air, on the ground, and even underground.

They have strange shapes and float around aimlessly. Wherever they pass, it's like frost spreading across the earth, taking away all life.

Of course, this gray and white world is not without color. There is a touch of blood stubbornly rooted in the earth.

They were disciples of Xuanzhen Palace. They were divided into teams of ten, all showing their domineering forms, and formed a small circle.

They held various weapons in their hands, their eyes glared with anger, and they exerted all their might, and the blood and energy flowed out of their bodies, transforming into a scorching light, covering an area of ​​dozens of meters in radius.

In the circle, some people were concentrating and standing still, ready to take over at any time; some people were sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes and meditating; some people took out dry food and chewed it; some people were shivering all over, as if they were too cold, and could only summon their magic power to resist...

In the center of the circle were the divine fortune teller, as well as the captain and deputy captain of the team, Gu Pingchuan and Zhuang Chaofeng. They each took out a talisman, pinched their fingers to cast a spell, and were on guard cautiously.

Although no one spoke and everyone seemed calm, the atmosphere was actually very depressing, as if a disaster was about to happen.

Outside the circle, there were countless translucent wandering souls. Some of them were headless, some had elongated tongues, some were covered with wounds, and some were rotten and spoiled, looking like giants.

When they saw living people, they were like wolves seeing flesh and blood, and they became extremely crazy.

They were wrapped in the cold wind and rushed straight into the team, but when they encountered the blood and energy, they were like being burned and retreated with a squeak.

But the wandering souls at the back rushed forward again, squeezing the wandering souls in front so that they could not retreat, until they were completely burned to ashes and disappeared with wails.

Of course, this consumption of Qi and blood is also extremely exaggerated. The second-generation disciples of Xuanzhen Palace are all strong in Qi and blood, but if there are too many dead wandering souls, it will also be consumed violently. Often at this time, Zhuang Chaofeng or Gu Chuanping in the center will throw out a talisman.

Or they would shoot out a beam of golden light to break the evil and make the wandering soul full of holes; or they would suspend a talisman to suppress evil in the air to make the wandering soul freeze.

Taking advantage of this gap, another group of disciples will retreat and another group will take over, releasing the same energy and blood to form a covered area.

It was with this method that the team was able to barely survive in this den of evil.

But to be honest, these wandering souls are just trivial matters. The reason why the team is hesitant to move forward is the ghost army blocking the way ahead.

They have a band, with some playing suona, some holding horns, some holding drums, and some holding gongs, so they seem to be able to play music at any time.

They had flag bearers holding signs that read "Dead people, please leave" and "Living people, please stay away", and they also had rotten flags waving.

They have guards, and the cavalry are in front, riding ghost horses, holding big swords in their hands, ready to move.

Even more of them were ghost soldiers, wearing special clothes with a big "Soldier" character on the front of their bodies. They were equipped with many weapons, including halberds, swords and shields, bows and arrows, and crossbows.

They also had strong sedan bearers, a total of sixteen people, carrying a huge carriage. White gauze fluttered and danced in the wind, obscuring the figures inside the carriage.

But even so, there was a tremendous and fierce aura rising from the chariot, which was so frightening from a distance that it sounded like a natural disaster.

This huge ghost army just stood there, without making any sound, like a sculpture, but the pressure it brought was like an overwhelming tidal wave.

After another round of personnel changes, Zhuang Chaofeng quickly checked the talismans in his hand and said, "Brother Gu, I only have twelve evil-suppressing talismans left. How about you?"

Gu Pingchuan also quickly lowered his head and glanced at it: "Golden Light Evil-Breaking Talisman, there are still eighteen!"

"I can't hold on for much longer. This time, I'm afraid I'll really die here. Brother, I never thought we would die this way.

I just wonder if I will become one of these wandering ghosts after I die?"

"Who knows? You want to try?"

"Who wants to die when they can live? However, even if we die, we cannot abandon the sect's mission."

Slightly tilting his head, Zhuang Chaofeng looked at the divine fortune teller and said, "Master, Master, we will change the formation in a moment to protect you as you rush forward. Run as far as you can before your talismans and blood are consumed.

Before we are all dead, we will not let anything happen to you. However, after we are all dead, we will not be able to take care of you anymore."

"No hurry, no hurry!"

The fortune teller suddenly looked up, his face full of fatigue, deep eye bags, and bloodshot pupils, but he still stared at the sky, constantly counting with his thumbs, like a crazy fortune teller.

"We can't die, we can't die, at least not this time. There's no look of despair on your faces, and I'm going to live a long time."

"This disaster will not kill us. This is not what I said, but what I calculated.

The Plum Blossom Divination and the Xiao Liu Ren Divination both told me that we are not destined to die on this journey!"

"Again? Here it comes again!"

Zhuang Chaofeng and Gu Pingchuan looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness. This divine fortune teller was good in every way. He was kind and polite, had strong professional skills, and was an expert in exploring for minerals.

He was obsessed with the art of divination, especially after receiving the inheritance from Chu Zhou, he became even more unscrupulous.

Outside of work, his favorite thing to do is to tell people's fortunes. He would tell fortunes for everyone he met.

The problem is, if he can calculate accurately, everyone will be begging him for help. But if he calculates inaccurately, and his calculations are irrelevant and full of mistakes, he will only ruin his reputation.

As time went by, people lost interest in his fortune-telling skills and at this point, they just thought he was talking nonsense.

The fortune teller turned his head slightly and saw their expressions. He couldn't help but sneered: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Gu Pingchuan said: "Master, we won't talk about whether it's a lie or not. Now, we have to help you break through. Otherwise, even if you want to escape later, you won't have the chance."

"No, really no need!"

Zhuang Chaofeng was younger and had a bad temper. He grabbed the fortune teller and carried him on his shoulders.

But the divine fortune teller shouted at this time: "Here he comes, here he comes, our savior is here!"

Zhuang Chaofeng curled his lips and said, "Master, I know you have predicted it again, but where is the savior? Let me see him first?"

“This time, it’s not counted, it’s seen!”

"See, where is it?"

"I think I saw it too!"

Gu Pingchuan grabbed Zhuang Chaofeng who was about to rush out, and turned his head to look at the sky.

Then, they saw a cloud moving forward at a tremendous speed, leaving a trajectory, and then falling straight towards this place.

"Really? It really exists!"

boom!
There was a loud bang and smoke rose up, but even more exaggerated than the smoke was the visible blood and energy rushing into the sky, like a straight blood-colored beam of light that pierced through the thick black clouds.

Then, scattered sunlight was sprinkled down, combined with the deep red blood, turning into pure and mighty Yang energy, spreading in all directions.

Those wandering souls that had gathered together all dispersed amid waves of wailing, their souls scattered and completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

However, when this energy and blood reached the ghost army, it was blocked by the sudden rise of strong ghost energy. The two sides fought and killed each other, but the situation was deadlocked.

In the void, there was a continuous "hissing" sound of burning. Both the blood and the ghost energy were being consumed at an exaggerated speed.

However, Chu Zhou ignored all this and turned around to look at all the disciples and asked, "How is everyone? Is everyone okay?"

"No, it's okay!"

"I've met the palace master!"

All the people, regardless of whether they could stand or not, stood up and bowed.

Chu Zhou took a look and found that some people were still invaded by the ghost energy. His eyes condensed slightly, and the blood and qi smoke turned into a thick bell, shining directly down.

This is the method he learned from Donghuang. Although it is not as profound as his and can be transformed into a blood-patterned golden bell, it is enough for the current situation.

Boom!
Under the Qi and Blood Bell, wisps of ghostly aura rose from the bodies of the disciples, which were then turned into ashes by the pure Yang Qi and Blood.

After doing all this, he suddenly turned around, stared at the ghost army not far away, and moved forward step by step.

Although he was alone, his mighty blood and energy were like a river, forcing it forward and even suppressing the thick ghost energy.

"This ghost disaster was caused by you?"

His voice was like a huge bell, carrying an overwhelming pressure that seemed to be able to crush everything.

However, a cold wind blew and lifted the white gauze around the carriage, revealing a ghost bride wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red silk head covering.

Then a soft voice was heard from under the red veil: "I can sense the aura of the Lord of the Secret Realm from you. If my guess is correct, you must have opened the closed paradise.

So, weren't you the one who lifted the fog that covered the sky?"

"If that's the case, wasn't this ghost disaster caused by you? Why are you blaming me?"

When these words came out, although they seemed to be spoken softly, Chu Zhou's expression froze, and his overwhelming momentum weakened by three points.

　There is no time left, I will update first and make changes later!
