After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1241 Human-faced Peach

This secret room is obviously a cave, and you can only enter by finding the switch.

There is a cave hidden in the underground palace. Who can guess it and who can find it?

From his observation, there are more and more mysteries surrounding Mr. He, and they can never be fully uncovered.

The more I get along with this person, the more unfathomable he seems to me.

He Lingchuan smiled at him and answered without any sincerity: "I am gifted."

He wrung out his hair and led the way into the cave.

When everyone went in, they saw that the cave was not deep. Although it was spacious, there was no other way out. It was also obvious that two rooms, inside and outside, were carved out artificially.

An altar was carved directly on the stone wall in the outer room. The turtle patterns on the surface were very delicate, and there was still a little bit of gold powder left.

There are two stone-carved lotus candlesticks on the table. Both have signs of use, and the bottom is connected to the stone table.

There was probably a statue originally placed on the altar, but unfortunately time is merciless and the wood has rotted away, leaving only two small pieces scattered on the stone surface, and its original appearance can no longer be recognized.

The three of them stared at the altar without blinking, because there was something on the table:
A dark wooden box.

The box was only the size of a palm, neither new nor old, with patina on all four corners.

If you look closely, you can see a pattern on the box:
A thick and twisted old peach tree is laden with fruits.

He Lingchuan raised his hand and pointed at it: "Be careful."

The closer you get to the box, the sacred bone necklace feels even warmer.

Fu Liushan put some powder under his nose, which smelled very pungent. Dong Rui sneezed twice from a distance: "What is this?"

"It's a powder to drive away ghosts," Fu Liushan replied, "to prevent ghosts from possessing people."

He was also afraid that there was a ghost in the box, which would rush out and plot against him as soon as the box was opened.

After getting ready, he raised the tip of the pestle with one hand and tried to open the box with the other, but He Lingchuan said, "Let me do it."

He volunteered, and Master Fu Tianshi immediately gave up his seat without saying a word and took out the medicine powder for him to apply.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "I don't need it."

So far, no one has been able to successfully take over his body, not even Narakuten's clone.

He held the soul-catching mirror in his left arm, and with his right hand, he swung the knife as fast as lightning and opened the lid of the box.

Those who are hiding deep in the Ghost King's underground palace and are targeted by the Divine Bone Necklace are most likely not good people.

After experiencing the self-destruction of the ghost king earlier, the three were already prepared for a big monster to jump out of the box.

However, it did not.

The secret room was quiet, the altar was empty, and there was nothing unusual in the opened box.

Simply put, there is not a single ghost.

The three of them came over to look at the box. Lingguang squeaked and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

They didn't expect that the box was actually a miniature bonsai!

There was a peach tree growing in the soil at the bottom of the box. Its leaves were lush green and looked very old. Its bark was cracked and covered with old knots.

"Isn't this the pattern on the box?"

The bonsai in the box is exactly the same as the pattern on the lid.

"It's different." Fu Liushan stretched out the tip of the pestle and carefully pushed aside the dense tree crown, "Look!"

His voice was unusually serious.

Everyone came over to take a look, and their hair stood on end:

There is a human face growing on the tree trunk!
To be precise, it is a ghost face, the face of the Ghost King Xuanlu!
Fu Liushan's action of fiddling with the tree canopy did not alarm it. The ghost face still had its eyes closed and looked peaceful.

Dong Rui subconsciously lowered his voice: "What the hell is this!"

"I'm afraid this is the true origin of Xuan Lu!"

"It's hibernating?" Dong Rui is also a knowledgeable person.

"I estimate that it has created too many clones and has lost too much power, so this strand of its origin has fallen into a long sleep." Fu Liushan stared at the ghost face, "If we don't get rid of the original body, it will be useless even if we kill more clones. After a long time, it will recover its vitality!"

"What should we do?" Dong Rui looked at the peach tree with a human face. "Just cut it down?"

It seems that this is the only way.

Without further ado, He Lingchuan slashed the peach tree in half with his sword.

Did these two guys forget that there was a Heavenly Master nearby? Did they forget that catching ghosts was the Heavenly Master's job? Fu Liushan was watching from the side, secretly complaining.

However, he seemed to have gradually gotten used to He Lingchuan's meddling in other people's affairs.

Before the severed trunk fell, He Lingchuan wiped his chest with his palm and moved closer to the peach tree.

Fu Liushan suddenly lay down and tilted his head to look.

This time, he had to see clearly what treasure was hidden in He Lingchuan's palm!
Whoosh, the fallen human-faced peach tree disappeared.

Fu Liushan vaguely saw a dark gray shadow in the palm of He Lingchuan's hand, but before he could identify it, the object disappeared.

He Lingchuan opened his hands towards him, and his palms were empty again.

Fu Liushan was a little stunned: "That's it, is it over?"

The Ghost King Xuanlu, who had been causing trouble for three hundred years and no one could do anything to him, ended his life peacefully and quietly like this?
The last time, there was not even a struggle.

"Yes, it's done." He Lingchuan was finally relieved when the human-faced peach tree was sucked away by the divine bone necklace.

As long as you enter the Dafang Pot, no matter how powerful the Ghost King is, he will not be able to turn the tables.

Just be fertilizer.

"The Ghost King will never appear again, right?" Fu Liushan remembered that He Lingchuan said the same thing after he took away Luo Shengjia.

He Lingchuan smiled at him: "You know me."

After the divine bone necklace devoured Xuan Lu himself, it became quiet.

This guy is very picky. He didn't react when he met the Ghost King's clone before. It seems that he is only interested in the original body.

But He Lingchuan also discovered one thing:

Strictly speaking, the Ghost King Xuanlu was not completely eaten by the Divine Bone Necklace.

At that moment just now, a wisp of black smoke was drawn out from the human-faced peach tree and poured into the Qianglong armor.

Cut off the beard?

This is the first time that the Dafanghu has been snatched away by a tiger.

Having said that, the feud between the old enemies Luo Shengjia and Xuanlu Ghost King has finally come to an end.

Fu Liushan rolled his eyes: "I don't, not at all."

But for some reason, he felt relieved when He Lingchuan said this.

Since He Lingchuan had also taken him away, the Ghost King could no longer bring disaster to the world, right? Just like Luo Shengjia.

He didn't know how He Lingchuan did it. At least so far, Luo Shengjia had been very docile under He Lingchuan, and He Lingchuan hadn't shown any signs of being out of control or abnormal.

"This box..." He touched the box lightly with the tip of the pestle, "It's probably the legendary soul box or soul urn."

"Does it mean that besides housing souls, it has other uses?"

"If you want to place the soul, ordinary seabed wood is enough." Fu Liushan is a qualified heavenly master, and he is particularly knowledgeable about ghosts. "The Fu family notes once recorded that some soul tools have special effects. In addition to warming the soul, they can also give new energy to the soul that resides in them."

Dong Rui had been observing the soul box, and pointed at it and said, "There are small words on the side."

Written in the language of ancient immortals, the content is simple:
This treasure is called Taogu Soul Box, which has the ability to capture souls, nourish souls, and divide souls.
