The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 375 Ghost Elders from Five Directions

An underground tunnel in the dark night.

The entrance to the Prairie Ghost Market.

Tables stand across the wall.

On the long table, there was only a dull lamp shining alone.

In the darkness, only a square inch of space remained, revealing the dimness.

Behind the table, a skinny old ghost sat.

This old ghost is the gatekeeper of the Prairie Ghost Collection.

now.

The night is getting darker.

In the caves on both sides behind him.

The ghost market is no longer as lively as it was during the day.

On the other side, the rooms in the cave were filled with whispers of conversation.

Ghosts don't need to sleep.

among them.

The most profound room.

Lu Qian was sitting in the room, listening to Wang Yuanzhang's story.

……

suddenly.

In the darkness, a figure suddenly stepped into the underground cave and came to the table.

This man was fifteen or sixteen years old, plainly dressed, with an ordinary appearance. He wore pink clothes and a plain skirt, and was dressed in palace attire.

This person floated over, as calm as smoke, came under the dark green light, and gave a slight blessing to the old ghost behind the table.

The old ghost slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. There was almost no light in his cloudy eyes.

He glanced at the female ghost in palace clothes floating over and asked, "Are they here?"

Fu Li, a female ghost dressed in palace clothes, said: "Yes."

The old ghost asked again: "Where are the other four old guys?"

The female ghost in palace clothes replied: "Reporting to Mr. Yang, they are also here and are waiting for you, Mr. Yang."

The old ghost gave a slight "hum", seeming to be very dissatisfied.

However, he paused and said: "Since they are all here, it doesn't hurt to meet them."

After that, he slowly stood up, walked directly through the table in front, and came out.

Seeing this, the female ghost in palace clothes turned around, but saw no movement at her feet, and floated forward like a ghost.

However, she did not float towards the entrance of the cave in front. After floating forward for a few steps, she suddenly upward, came out through the thick soil above her head, and came to the ground.

The grassland in the middle of the night was completely dark, except for the faintly colorful brilliance in the distance. The reflected shimmer of light spread here, making the place half-dark and half-dark.

However, there was no tranquility in this darkness.

Waves of weird ghostly noises came from far and near, high and low.

As soon as the female ghost in palace clothes appeared on the ground, dozens of dark and ugly ghost figures were immediately surrounding her, rushing towards her.

She is clearly a ghost, but she still arouses the interest of similar ghosts.

These wild ghosts not only harass people, they also harass the ghosts who have awakened their spirits.

This is also the reason why these Kailing ghosts need to stay at Linglong Inn or Ghost Market Inn at night after they come to the grassland.

However, this seemingly weak female ghost in palace attire was completely unafraid of the ghosts that pounced on her.

These ghosts and monsters came fiercely, making strange screams from their mouths.

However, when they came within a three-foot radius of the palace-dressed female ghost, their figures suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, they suddenly appeared on the other side of the female ghost in palace clothes and continued to rush in the opposite direction to the female ghost in palace clothes.

However, after taking a few steps, they seemed to suddenly wake up and pause.

Although these ghosts have not opened their minds, they still have the most basic spiritual intelligence.

Then, they searched around and found the female ghost in palace clothes - and another old ghost.

Behind the female ghost in palace attire, the old ghost named "Mr. Yang" just now appeared there, as silently as a ghost.

These ghosts didn't matter whether they were one ghost or two ghosts, they continued to rush towards their backs.

Under the night, there are colorful glimmers of light.

Under the dim light, a strange scene happened.

When these ghosts rushed to about three feet behind the two ghosts, they suddenly disappeared again.

Then, the next moment, they appeared in the opposite direction and came to the two ghosts.

At this moment, they teleported six feet away.

This old ghost called "Old Yang" and the female ghost in palace clothes seemed to have completely ignored the ghosts around them. The two ghosts wiped the dark grass under their feet and flew north quickly.

All around them, the gathering ghosts were still rushing towards them.

However, the six-foot radius around these two ghosts seemed to be another space isolated from this world.

No matter where the ghosts come from, once they come within three feet of the two of them, they will be teleported to the other side three feet away.

No matter how many ghosts there were, no matter how they fluttered, they could never get within three feet of the two ghosts.

As if they were performing acrobatics, they jumped repeatedly in the six-foot-wide area centered on the old ghost, but in the end they couldn't get even close to them.

The two spirit ghosts, a man and a woman, an old man and a young man, were flying forward as fast as the wind on this vicious grassland full of ghosts.

Along the way, ghosts kept trying to get close to them. However, without exception, these ghosts could only teleport back and forth within a range of three feet, but they could never get close to them.

……

In the northeast, a sacred mountain emitting colorful light stands majestically.

The colorful light became the only source of light in this dark night.

The two ghosts, an old man and a young man, a man and a woman, were flying extremely fast under the cover of night.

Not long after, they arrived somewhere.

Here, the ground is flat.

On the side, about thirty miles away, the Five Color Mountain stands majestically.

Brilliant light shot straight into the sky.

Arriving at the foot of Five Color Mountain, the ground here is actually darker than in the distance.

Within the black shadow, six figures stood.

These six figures were divided into two teams.

There are four people in a team——

To be precise, they were four old ghosts with the same old faces.

But standing opposite them were two human beings.

Two human men with the same old faces and wearing Taoist robes.

Six humans and ghosts stood facing each other in silence.

Until the old ghost named "Lao Yang" led the female ghost in palace clothes to arrive.

Seeing Mr. Yang, these four old ghosts clasped their fists and saluted at the same time, saying: "Mr. Yang is here."

Yang Lao stopped in his daze and stood next to an old ghost, standing in a row with four other old ghosts.

The female ghost in palace clothes stayed behind Mr. Yang, about ten feet away, motionless.

Yang Laochong nodded to the other four old ghosts, and then looked at the two Taoist priests standing opposite them.

at this time.

In front.

Dozens of ghostly shadows suddenly floated over and attacked the two Taoist priests from behind.

The two Taoist priests seemed not to notice this at all.

The two of them slapped the newly arrived Mr. Yang and said, "I have met Mr. Yang."

At this moment, the ghost behind them had already jumped about three feet behind the two of them.

Sudden--

There was only a strange "pop" sound, and several thunder and lightning suddenly appeared behind the two people, hitting these ghosts from top to bottom.

These ghosts and ghosts were instantly electrocuted, and their whole bodies twitched twice after being struck by lightning. Immediately, there was only a "pop" sound, and all the ghosts and ghosts were instantly shattered by these sudden flashes of lightning that appeared out of nowhere, and dissipated, leaving no one left. A little trace.

It was as if they had never appeared.

When the four old ghosts saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly.

Yin ghosts have always been afraid of thunder and lightning. This is an innate restraint. They can't help but be afraid or not afraid.

Only the newcomer "Mr. Yang"'s expression remained unchanged. He looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him with a pair of dull eyes and asked: "Who are you two?"

The Taoist priest standing on the left hand side, closer to Mr. Yang, cupped his hands and said, "I'm at Qingxuan Temple Yang Hong. This is my junior brother Yin Weixue."

These two old Taoists are surprisingly also fourth-grade cave underworld monks.

Moreover, he is a late-stage monk in the cave realm.

Mr. Yang said calmly: "What positions do you two hold in Qingxuan Temple?"

Yang Hong said: "The two of us are the elders of Qingxuan Guan."

After hearing this, Mr. Yang made a very displeased "hum" and said: "How can you two mere elders explain this matter? Even if you leaders can't come in person, you should at least send Brother Zhenru Zhenhai Come on. Are you looking down on us, the youngest of five ghosts, by sending you two juniors here?"

After hearing these words, the other four old ghosts immediately crossed their arms in front of their chests, proudly raised their chests and raised their heads, putting on the airs of the five-party ghost elders.

Yang Hong immediately leaned over and said: "Mr. Yang, please don't be angry. My senior brother Zhenhai was originally here. But due to some unexpected changes, he couldn't get away for a while, and he was afraid that he would be late and neglect the five elders. He had no choice but to send The two of us are here."

After hearing this, Mr. Yang let out a "hum", but judging from the tone of the "hum", it seemed that the exchange between the two was barely passed.

Then, Mr. Yang said in a cold voice: "Back then, you Qingxuan Temple and the imperial court had an agreement with our ghost tribe. Kailing ghosts would not enter your human area, and you humans would not come to our ghost area.

But now, you humans have entered Wuqin Grassland in large numbers. What are your intentions? Do you want to break the agreement? "

When Yang Hong heard this, he immediately said: "Mr. Yang, Wu Lao, please don't misunderstand us. Our move is really a last resort. The two of us came here to explain this matter." Mr. Yang "hum" He said with a voice: "Well, since you are all here, then you can talk about it first; if it doesn't make sense, I will make it impossible for you humans to go back."

Yang Hong paused and said: "The thing is like this. Recently, there has been some friction between us and the gods. The Fifth Elder must have heard about this matter..."

After hearing this, Wu Lao's expression suddenly changed.

One of the old ghosts immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "What happens between you humans and the gods has nothing to do with our ghost clan."

Yang Hong said: "Yes, yes, that is natural. However, one of the gods suddenly came to the territory of the ghost clan. Regarding this matter, I don't know the five elders..."

When the ghost elders from five directions heard this, their expressions changed again.

The five ghosts looked at each other in confusion, and then said, "Is this possible?"

When Yang Hong saw this, his tense expression seemed to relax a lot in an instant.

There was also a smile on his face.

Then, he took two steps forward, came to the five elders, and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the expression on Wu Lao's face changed several times in an instant.

The five ghosts looked at each other for a few times, and seemed to communicate with each other through spiritual power. Finally, Mr. Yang said: "If this is the case, then... again, the battle between you humans and the gods, It has nothing to do with our ghost clan, and we will never interfere. It’s just..."

Having said this, Mr. Yang paused for a moment before continuing: "The opening of the Five-Color Holy Mountain is a top priority for our ghost tribe. We can make it convenient for you to do your thing. However, you must not be involved. We, the ghost tribe, cannot affect the opening ceremony of the Five-Color Holy Mountain."

When Yang Hong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He said solemnly: "Pindao represents Qingxuan Guan and us humans. We solemnly promise to the Five Elders that we will never hurt a ghost, let alone affect the opening of the Five-Color Holy Mountain."

After hearing this, Wu Lao nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

……

……

The next day.

As soon as the first ray of morning sunlight shone on the earth, crowds of people appeared on the usually peaceful Wuqin grassland.

These people come from all directions on the grassland.

All over the grassland, on the green grass, flaps suddenly opened one after another, and people of all ages, men, women, and people in different clothes emerged from the ground and joined the crowd.

These people vary in size, height, weight, and thinness. The oldest one looks like he is over seventy years old, while the youngest one looks like a child of four or five years old.

However, these appearances may not necessarily be their true "age".

Even their faces in the sun may not be their true appearance.

Because, these groups of "people" are all ghosts in human skin.

These ghosts gather from all directions and from all walks of life in the world.

But there is only one direction for them to move forward.

Directly in the north, there is a row of five-color holy mountains standing abruptly, emitting colorful holy light, like a colorful screen.

Five Color Mountain.

The resort in the hearts of all ghosts.

Nowadays.

It was the day when this resort opened.

If you have stayed on the grassland for a long time, or have been here many times, you will find that the Five Color Mountains today are particularly bright.

Five colors of green, red, blue, purple and green light rise like fireworks from the five peaks, reaching into the sky.

The brilliant colors even suppress the sunlight.

On the vast green grass, clusters of ghosts gradually gathered together.

Among the many ghosts, there are two strangers.

In the gathering of ghosts, these two living people became aliens. The ghosts along the way cast strange looks at them from time to time.

However, the ghosts had big things to do today, and no one bothered to trouble them.

These two living people are naturally Lu Qian and Wang Zirong.

The two people walked in the middle, looking around from time to time, with a trace of uncontrollable surprise in their eyes.

Good guy, if Lu Qian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Lu Qian to believe that there were so many spirit-opening ghosts in the world.

In the mainland, although ghosts are very common, it is rare to see an enlightened ghost among a hundred or even a thousand ghosts.

But here, at this moment, looking around, there are spirit-opening ghosts everywhere.

Thousands!

Ghosts are very common in areas where humans live, but for some unknown reason, once ghosts are awakened, they rarely appear in areas where humans live.

They also seem to have their own areas of activity.

It's hard to meet usually.

But at this critical moment, they all came out at once.

Walking around Lu Qian and the others were Zuo Qiuling, Ji Siyu, Guo Tui, Tang Su, Luo Runbao, and Qin Yingying.

The six of them now had another set of human skins, and all of them had different appearances.

For this trip to Five Color Mountain, Lu Qiang prepared no less than ten sets of human skins for each of them in the ghost market.

Although this was not the first time he saw them "changing clothes", Lu Qian still felt a strange feeling in his heart when looking at these six new faces.

It felt like a wife who had been married for many years suddenly went to a plastic surgery country and came back with a technological face.

This "familiar stranger" suddenly became an unknown person.

In addition to being surprised, there is also a little bit of freshness.

But that's if you have a wife.

But Lu Qian had six at this time.

After replacing six new holes, the freshness was greatly reduced, and it even seemed to have a headache.

In addition to the six of them, there were two more people in Lu Qian's team.

One of them was a tall man, wearing a crimson robe, with a broad, crimson face, and long hair draped over his shoulders. He looked quite free and easy.

This unfamiliar face is naturally Monk Zhiyuan.

However, after he put on the new skin, his appearance as a monk was completely gone, and his hair was flowing and black.

Just this kind of hair would cost Lu Qian an extra five dollars.

Monk Zhiyuan died, and all his cultivation was naturally gone. Although his spiritual power finally survived with the gathering of ghosts, his cultivation at this moment was only equivalent to the peak of the seventh grade, close to the sixth grade.

Zhiyuan has awakened two ghost arts. Although they are not weak, they are not amazing either.

In his current state, entering the Five Color Mountains felt a bit like delivering food.

However, if we don’t enter this time, it will be a hundred years later when the Five Color Mountain opens next time.

a hundred years……

For a ghost like Zhiyuan who still remains in the consciousness of mortals——

It's just too far away.

After much thought last night, Zhiyuan finally decided to take the risk and venture into Wuse Mountain.

This is undoubtedly a big gamble for him.

However, Lu Qian still adheres to his consistent principles.

Not for, not against.

Make your own decisions about your own affairs.

Walking on the right side of Lu Qian was a woman dressed in black, with a black veil on her head and even a black gauze on her face.

Wang Yuanzhang.

Seeing her from the side, Lu Qian couldn't help but sigh again.

Unexpectedly, this dignified fairy girl would have such a sad and tragic life experience.

More than three hundred years ago, the last human Earth Immortal left Dali and headed for the East China Sea.

Three years later, the arrogant Liuyun Villa was burned to the ground.

From then on, this bully and the giant sect above all the sects and imperial courts in Da Li disappeared.

Even three hundred years later, few people even knew the name "Liuyun Villa".

Dissipated, completely.

And the origin of all this actually came from a legacy edict left by Liuyun Sword Immortal.

This "edict" was left behind by Liuyun Sword Immortal when he left. The general meaning is that if he fails to return, the position of the owner of Liuyun Villa and his "Liuyun Sword Technique" will be passed down to him. He Heren, the fifth disciple.

When Wang Yuanzhang's mother read out the edict in court, the seven disciples of Liuyun Sword Immortal, including her daughter, were all shocked.

Liuyun Sword Immortal had a total of eight disciples in his life. Two of his disciples died accidentally in battle early in his life, leaving a total of seven disciples behind.

Of these seven disciples, the oldest disciple is about sixty, and the youngest eighth disciple is thirty-one or two.

Among these seven disciples, the eldest disciple is upright and upright, fair in his actions, very dignified, and his cultivation is not weak; the third disciple is extremely hard-working and has the highest cultivation among the disciples.

These two people are both civilized and martial. When Liuyun Sword Immortal was around, they had a decisive position in Liuyun Villa.

Even Zhiyuan knows this.

The fifth disciple, He Heren, was more intelligent, articulate, and handsome. For a long time, he was responsible for the foreign affairs of Liuyun Villa.

Although He Heren was very filial and always served his master and his wife with meticulous care, Liuyun Sword Immortal didn't like his frivolity.

The youngest eighth disciple is a special disciple recruited by Liuyun Sword Immortal and has amazing talent in swordsmanship.

He was only in his thirties and had already entered the fourth-grade cave underworld, which caused great shock in the entire Dali.

At that time, almost everyone believed that he was the most promising person to challenge the Earth Immortal after Liuyun Sword Immortal.

Moreover, when Liuyun Sword Immortal was still here, he had said more than once that his eighth disciple Miao Yuanfei was the most promising person to inherit his mantle.

This point is almost universally known not only in Liuyun Villa, but also in the entire Dali.

However, no one expected that the final edict left by Liuyun Sword Immortal would actually pass the position of the owner of Liuyun Villa along with his mantle to the inconspicuous fifth disciple He Heren.

After Wang Yuanzhang's mother read out Liuyun Sword Immortal's last edict, all the disciples present, including Wang Yuanzhang himself, were shocked.

The eldest disciple has always been the most dignified person, so he didn't say anything at that time. But the eighth disciple Miao Yuanfei quit.

He jumped out immediately and said with a shocked look on his face: "Master's wife, the master once said back then that he would pass on my mantle. How could the master's last edict...how could it be like this?"
