MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 186 The world of the dead
Chapter 186 The Realm of the Dead
This dark secret alchemy room seemed to be used by Lin Xiangzhi's father, the second master of the Yunshan Lin family, to carry out a weird experiment.
In this weird experiment, people will gradually become skinny, until after an accidental explosion, they completely become immobile iron men.
The voice of "Be careful of the candles" that Bailu heard in the mist before was most likely made by these people.
But now Ji Que knows that what he should care about now is not this, but those yellow eyes.
Something is staring at them!
Just judging from the size of the eyes, the things outside are not small.
"Go first! Get out of here!" Ji Que said.
He felt that something might happen if he continued to stay here.
Ji Que is more courageous, but Lin Xiangzhi and Bai Lu are not necessarily. After hearing what Ji Que said, they quickly slipped out next to each other, wishing to become Ji Que's wings on the spot.
The three of them stepped out of the well wall one after another, and began to climb towards the mouth of the well.
Soon, the three climbed out of the well, and found that the Taoist temple had become a vast expanse of whiteness.
It's getting foggy.
In other words, the fog from the previous "cable car" filled here.
Visibility became very low again, but at a distance of about three feet, Ji Que looked around, but he didn't find those big yellow-brown eyes.
In this case, people instinctively feel dangerous.
At this moment, Lin Xiangzhi suddenly noticed a point, and said falteringly: "That, the iron man is gone."
Ji Que and Bai Lu quickly looked at the mouth of the well, and found that the iron man with a broken leg lying there before had really disappeared.
"This crippled man is still running around." Ji Que complained.
Without any hesitation, he walked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple.
After that, he found that the iron men in the main hall were gone.
The fog is gray, making everything around it hazy, giving people an unreal feeling.
And at this moment, the mist rolled up, and a person in Taoist robes broke in suddenly.
It was a Daoist with a skinny face. After seeing the three of them, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Newcomer?"
Ji Que reacted immediately and said, "Second Master asked us to come here."
"Then look for Brother Lin in your backyard, I'm too late."
As he spoke, the Dao boy hurried to the back.
All of a sudden, there were only three Ji Que left in the mist, and the atmosphere was a bit weird for a while.
No one in this ghostly place looks weird, and some people look weird too.
Bai Lu nervously said, "What's going on?"
Ji Que squatted on the ground all of a sudden, so frightened that Bai Lu and Lin Xiangzhi hurriedly followed suit, and found an altar as a cover.
Lin Xiangzhi couldn't help but whispered: "What's wrong?"
As a result, at this moment, Ji Que opened his trousers and scratched, stood up again, and said, "Scratch."
Startled, Lin Xiangzhi and Bai Lu just wanted to hit someone for a while.
Since Dao Tong has appeared here, and there is Brother Lin in the mouth of Dao Tong, this proves that there are indeed people in this Taoist temple.
At this time, there happened to be the sound of small footsteps nearby, and they quickly went away.
In order to avoid being exposed too easily, the three of them came to hide behind a bright yellow curtain in the main hall.
Bai Lu said anxiously: "Why did these people appear all of a sudden?"
At this time, Lin Xiangzhi muttered: "The dead live, the living die, we have come to the underground mountain."
After hearing Lin Xiangzhi's words, Ji Que became a little interested and said, "You mean, we have come to the world of the dead?"
Lin Xiangzhi nodded and said: "At that time, some of us juniors asked the old man where the underground mountain was. Not a place for the living.'."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Lu had goose bumps all over her body.
The three living people happen to be in this world of the dead, will there be any terrible changes?
Ji Que thought about it: "Have you noticed that the world of the dead is always related to this fog?"
Yes, during the seemingly endless "cable car", the voice of "Be careful of the candles!" that Bai Lu heard, and the two "lanterns" that Ji Que saw, are indeed from the underworld.
And at that time, it happened to be when the fog filled the air.
Before, there were no living people in this Taoist temple, only the Iron Man, but when the mist appeared, the Iron Man disappeared, and Dao Tong and others appeared.
"Let's go, let's see what is going on in this dead place. If we can find the source of the mist, maybe everything will be solved." Ji Que said.
"Follow closely, the fog is quite heavy, it's hard to find if you get lost."
As soon as the words fell, Bai Lu couldn't help but get a little closer to Ji Que.
She had the idea of letting Ji Que **** her in, but she held back sensiblely.
There is Lin Xiangori behind her, which gives her, a rookie in exploration, a little more sense of security.
At this time, the three returned to the backyard from the main hall.
Only this time, they didn't go down the well, but walked to the row of houses behind.
These houses are all gray stone walls and blue tiles, which look a little old. Some windows have a diagonal opening, while others are tightly closed.
At this moment, Bai Lu suddenly felt something was wrong, that is, Ji Que, who was walking in front, seemed to have lost some weight.
She couldn't help but said, "Brother Ji."
The next moment, Ji Que turned around, and Bai Lu fell back in fright, and sat down on the ground.
Because of looking back, Ji Que suddenly turned into a skinny man, as if the iron man had been resurrected.
At this time, Ji Que stretched out his withered hand to pull her, she was so frightened that tears flowed out.
"Hello! Little Bailu!"
A cry sounded, and Bai Lu realized that she was standing where she was, with a very normal Ji Que in front of her, with a handsome face.
At this time, Ji Que reminded: "This fog can easily cause hallucinations, keep the true energy flowing, and keep the Lingtai clear."
Bai Lu finally realized that everything just now was an illusion.
The three of them went around here and made sure that no one was in these houses now.
Even if there is, it may be hiding where they cannot see.
The gray mist enveloped the three of them, always giving people a very unsafe feeling.
At this time, only a creak was heard, which was the sound of the door opening.
Ji Que remained calm and quickened his pace a little.
The three of them walked very lightly, especially Lin Xiangzhi walked on a catwalk, which was even lighter.
Soon, they saw the back of a gray-clothed Taoist in the hazy mist.
The Taoist walked in a hurry and came to a big tree in the backyard.
As soon as he buried his head, he disappeared there.
Ji Que and the others hurriedly followed, only to find that there was a passage there.
Presumably the passage in the well is not commonly used, this is the secret passage that is normally used.
Seeing that the passage was about to close, Ji Que and the three hurriedly slid in.
There is a stone path slanting downwards. The surface of the stone wall has been simply repaired, although it is not smooth or sharp.
Following down the hole, you can see many talismans on the wall.
These talismans are common cinnabar characters on yellow paper, pasted messily, as if they were used to suppress ghosts.
Afterwards, they returned to the previous alchemy room.
It’s just that the pill room was empty before, only some iron men’s broken arms and limbs were left, but now there are many more people.
In the gray mist, one could vaguely see the raging flames in the alchemy furnace.
Just looking at it from here, the flames are blue and green, making people feel cold instead of any heat.
Ji Que and the three watched all this silently, suddenly a Taoist hurried past, glanced at them, and quickly left with medicine bags one by one.
It can be seen that the people here are very busy, so busy that they almost didn't notice the three unexpected guests.
Ji Que and the three continued walking, observing everything around them.
If there is any difference between here and before, it is that there is more fog, no traces of explosions, and more busy "people".
The bookshelf where the diary was placed before is relatively intact at the moment.
Lin Xiangori leaned over involuntarily, groping around with her memory, trying to find the diary she read before.
Everything here looks like it was before the explosion, so maybe the diary hasn’t been damaged, or the torn pages are still there.
She searched for a while, and found the "diary" with no words on the outside, and flipped through it.
The next moment, she couldn't help but her hairs stood on end.
I saw a lot of words written on the pages of the book as usual, but she didn't know these words.
I saw that their strokes were distorted, as if they were made up of earthworms, which looked particularly weird, and even had a deep malice.
The next moment, those earthworm-like strokes twisted, as if they were about to emerge from the pages of the book.
Lin Xiangzhi only felt a chill from the soles of her feet to Tianling Gai. She wanted to put down the book, but found that she was moving slowly.
She had a feeling that if she didn't close the book soon, the "earthworms" in it would pop out, burrow into her skin, and burrow into her face.
The next moment, there was only a snap, and the diary was closed.
But it wasn't her who closed it, but Ji Que.
Ji Que shook his head and said, "We probably don't understand what's in it."
At this time, a person rushed over in a hurry and bumped Lin Xiangzhi.
I saw that person was wearing a gray robe, it was the gray robe Taoist they just followed in.
Taoist has only one eye, and it is different from Ning Hongyu's one-eyed state with one eye closed, nor is it Xiahou Dun's one-eyed dragon with one eye disabled, but he has only one eye.
This eye is located right above the bridge of the nose. It is black and white, and it is also very scary.
Yes, after bumping into Lin Xiangzhi, he even gave Lin Xiangzhi a look and said, "Get in the way!".
After that, he pushed and turned, and a secret passage appeared on the bookshelf.
The gray-robed Taoist didn't stay long, and walked in.
The bookshelf turned around again and returned to its original position. The three of Ji Que stood there in a daze.
Ji Que couldn't help complaining: "Your father's secret way is like a big intestine, and there are too many routines."
A moment later, he followed the example of the gray-robed Taoist before him, holding a certain wooden frame of the bookshelf, and pushing it, a secret passage appeared in their sight.
The three hurried in.
Behind this is not so much a secret passage as it is a long and narrow cave.
There was a fork in the cave soon, but Ji Que chose one of them without stopping.
Because the other one was dark, this one now has a burning light.
In this cave, there is a brazier embedded in the wall at intervals, but it is the same as the fire in the alchemy furnace, which is green and faint, and looks very scary.
It didn't take long for them to feel the cold wind coming.
The whining wind blows the thick mist, forming strips of white flocs.
Ji Que took a few steps forward and found that they were already outside.
This should be a stone path attached to the mountain wall. The repair is quite simple. The stone steps are like chopsticks inserted into the mountain wall, and the bottom looks like an abyss.
If ordinary people were standing here, this picture alone would scare the **** out of them.
But today's Bailu is very in line with the characteristics of ordinary people.
Although she is a cultivator, she has little actual combat experience, and rarely walks such a cliff.
So Lin Xiangzhi, who was walking behind, could clearly see Bai Lu's slightly stiff body.
The stone path went down all the way. Because of the fog, the three of them walked for a while, but they always felt that the stone path had no end, or they had been wandering along the same road.
This feeling can easily remind them of the "cable car" when they arrive.
But fortunately, after about a cup of tea, they came to a stone platform.
Beside the stone platform is a cave with a large opening. Due to the light and fog, the light inside is very dark and it is difficult to see clearly.
But soon, they found a lot of talisman papers pasted on the stone wall.
These talisman papers are densely stacked together, as if they don't need money.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a door on a stone wall.
No, there is a second fan and a third fan.
There seem to be many rooms here.
The door is made of iron, very thick.
Ji Que came to one of the doors, tore off a strand of Lin Xiangzhi's hair, and put his right hand on the door lock.
As he moved his true energy, the strand of hair burrowed inward as if alive, and the door lock was unlocked with a click.
Ji Que walked in, followed by Bai Lu and Lin Xiangzhi, both drew their weapons, looking like they were ready to fight at any time.
But the next moment, he heard Ji Que's praise.
I saw a lot of jade stones piled up in this room.
It's just that this jade is more similar to the cut rough stone, and the jade embryo in the cut layer can be seen, and the color is good.
Ji Que only hated that he had something to do, these stones were too heavy and big to take away, so he could only accept two pieces of jade the size of goose eggs with tears in his eyes.
From this room, it can be seen that the place where Lin Xiangzhi's father hides his treasures has been found, and the maggot dragon grass may be in these rooms.
Although he was reluctant to part with him, Ji Que didn't waste much time and came out soon.
Just as he pulled out another hair of Lin Xiangzhi and was about to open the second door, a whimpering sound came from the front.
Ji Que lightened his steps and walked over there.
Not long after, he stopped, because a large and deep hole appeared on the ground of the cave.
This hole seems to exist here naturally, vertically downward, like a well, and looks very deep.
And the whimper came from the other side of the hole.
In a vague way, they could see that the gray-robed Taoist was squatting there and "crying", with a jar in front of him.
At this moment, Ji Que's muscles tensed up, and he couldn't help but lay down on the ground.
This time he didn't scratch an itch, but felt danger.
A greasy sound came from the cave below, and immediately after, he saw a huge and incomparable shadow come out and grab the gray-robed Taoist.
