Taiping Inn

Just as Li Xuandu and Nan Kezi were talking, the team continued to move forward and soon came to the end of the passage.

After coming out of this passage, the view suddenly opened up. A huge cave in the mountain appeared in front of everyone. It was almost the size of half a county town. The dome was fifty feet high. Countless stalactite-like objects hung from the dome. Below it hung golden lamps, illuminating the entire cave.

In the center of this cave, which is also the highest point of the entire cave, there is not a gloomy tomb, but a huge palace with double eaves and hip roofs, and layers of pavilions and halls connected by corridors. There are carved beams and painted buildings, and golden lamps are hung. The lights in and outside the hall are brightly lit, reflecting the golden splendor, as if it is a fairy palace in the sky. There is also an artificially excavated river around the palace, passing around the hall, and then forming a moat around the entire cave. What flows in it is not river water, but mercury. Under the reflection of the lights, it flashes a dazzling light.

This place was the largest temple in Beimang Mountain back then. It was run by Master Mu Gou for many years and had a fairy-like atmosphere. The golden lamps were more precious than ordinary ever-burning lamps. They were truly immortal, so they still illuminated this place hundreds of years later.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

Master Mu Gou was originally from the royal family. It was unknown how much national wealth was spent on building this Taoist temple. Even the Great Master Mansion of the Zhengyi Sect was no more than this.

However, the faces of Yan Feiqing, Li Xuandu and others were a little solemn.

Because from their entrance to the Taoist temple with brilliant lights, there were countless ruins in the middle. It can be seen that these ruins were also Taoist temples of various sizes in the early years. It can be imagined how prosperous the Changsheng Palace was back then, but now it has become a ruin. The dark and empty windows are the eyes of this dead city, watching these intruders all the time, choosing people to devour.

When other righteous people shifted their sights from the brilliant "Immortal Palace" and turned their attention to the dark ruins, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, because countless smoke rose up in the darkness under the brilliance, making it difficult to see the specific situation inside. At first glance, it was somewhat similar to the clouds and mist in the cave paradise, but a closer look gave rise to many ghostly meanings, especially the quiet and deadly environment, which made people's scalps numb and even creepy.

"This is the Changsheng Palace. It was as powerful as a sect back then. The Taiyin corpse should be in that palace." Su Yun'an said, looking at the ruins in front of him.

Yan Feiqing retracted his sight and slowly raised his right hand.

Many disciples of the Zhengyi Sect immediately took out a stack of talisman paper that had been written in advance from their sacks.

Then Yan Feiqing took out a small boat from the "Qiankun Bag" on his waist. The boat was about eight points long from head to tail and about two inches high.

He came to the bank of the moat and threw the boat into the river. The boat swelled against the wind and landed on the surface of the mercury. It was no different from an ordinary boat. A team of Zhengyi Sect disciples boarded the boat and slowly sailed to the other side.

This moat is not very wide. In addition, mercury is heavier than water and easier to use. People who can come here can cross the river with light skills. However, Yan Feiqing was afraid of an ambush and being attacked halfway across the river, so he sent the elite disciples of Zhengyi Sect to cross the river by boat. Even if there was an ambush, this "Lunbo Boat" could also be used for defense, so there was no need to worry about not being able to fight back.

The entire crossing process was safe and sound, but after crossing the river, countless ghosts and zombies suddenly emerged from the smoke and shadows. Fortunately, the disciples of Zhengyi Sect were well prepared and immediately threw out the talisman papers they had prepared. The talisman papers ignited in the wind and turned into blazing flames, connecting into a wall of fire. After these ghosts touched the wall of fire, they turned into ashes in an instant.

With these disciples of Zhengyi Sect standing firm, the large group of people began to cross the river. At the same time, more and more ghosts began to emerge, first one or two scattered, then three or five groups, and later, almost a dozen of them attacked together, and occasionally there would be a zombie among them, who was not afraid of swords and guns, had infinite strength, but had no intelligence, and was extremely afraid of the thunder method of Zhengyi Sect.

Many people in the martial arts world began to fight with these evil creatures. Although many disciples of the Zhengyi Sect were in charge and made significant contributions with talismans, there were still casualties. Two martial arts wanderers who had entered the divine realm were scratched in the chest by a zombie and died on the spot. Several others were scratched by zombies, and the wounds were black, and they were poisoned by corpses. A disciple of the Zhengyi Sect immediately took out a handful of glutinous rice from his arms and applied it to the wound. As soon as the white glutinous rice touched the wound, it immediately emitted wisps of black smoke and then produced a foul smell.

Glutinous rice can restrain corpse poison. If you are injured by zombies, if you don’t use glutinous rice to remove the poison in time, you will die and turn into a zombie once the poison takes effect. The disciples of the Zhengyi Sect have been exorcising demons for many years and have already prepared these necessary items.

After everyone crossed the river, Yan Feiqing took back the "Lunbo Boat", slowly pulled out the "Qingyun" from his back, took the lead and walked in front, leading everyone into the ruins.

…

On the other side, deep in the ruins, there is a huge square paved with white marble, 300 feet long and wide. If you look down from above, you can clearly see this large and extremely abrupt blank space. This was originally where the disciples of Changsheng Palace practiced martial arts during morning classes, but now it is deserted, with decadence and ruin everywhere.

Zhaoge Sect’s Hanba Altar Master Kong Wuji, Corpse Refining Hall Master Shang Xi, and Spirit Refining Hall Master Wu Gui are all standing here at this time.

Kong Wuji is a tall middle-aged man, but he is not a martial artist, but a real alchemist.

He whispered, "Get a bowl of mercury."

A disciple of the Hanba Hall behind him immediately turned around and poured out a bowl of mercury from the gourd he carried with him.

Kong Wuji took the porcelain bowl and splashed the mercury in the bowl casually, turning it into a silver water mirror.

Kong Wuji reached out and pointed to the water mirror, and then the scene of people crossing the river in the right path appeared on the mirror, revealing its slightest detail.

He stared at the picture in the water mirror expressionlessly, with no joy or sorrow, making people unable to see what they think, and there was no tension or anxiety that should be when the enemy was coming.

When he saw Yan Feiqing carrying people across the river with the "Linbo Boat", the talismans that the disciples of Zhengyi Sect had prepared were easily defeated by the evil objects. The master of the Hanba Temple said softly: "I am worthy of being the head of Zhengyi Sect and the little Tianshi Master. I am meticulous. From Baigu Town to here, the little greeting we prepared before was useless."

Shang Xi coughed lightly and said, "If he is useless, how could the old master Zhang Jingxiu feel at ease to pass the position of the head sect to him? Yan Feiqing, Su Yunxian, Yu Qingning and others, whether they are scheming or cultivation. It should not be underestimated."

Wu Gui frowned slightly: "These are all expected things. The key is that the Sword Immortal of the Purple Palace. If it weren't for him, the sect leader would not have lost his external incarnation. The young man's complacent is nothing, but a big storm will die in the rivers and lakes. Among them, it is terrible to be able to make a comeback. After the Imperial Capital Incident, he was clearly left with only a pile of ashes. How could he still produce Mars? Even if Mars is born, why can a spark start a prairie fire? "

The few of them were speechless.

The scene in the water mirror is getting closer and closer.

The old monk, covered in golden bodies, seemed to notice something, turned his head suddenly and frowned slightly.

At this moment, the water mirror made of mercury shattered without warning.

Countless mercury sputtered in all directions. Several disciples of the Zaoge Sect who were unable to dodge were directly penetrated into blood holes. Some even more unlucky, they were directly penetrated by a drop of mercury and left a blood hole on the spot. Dead.

However, the mercury shot at the three masters of the Zaoge Sect exploded and disappeared without touching the three of them.

Kong Wuji was not surprised by this ending. After all, he was the seventh-ranked master on the Taixuan List. If this old monk was not in charge, Yan Feiqing and others would not dare to break into this place so unscrupulously.

Wu Gui said: "Based on time, the sect leader should be about to... "

Kong Wuji looked back at the towering palace behind him, then withdrew his gaze and said softly: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. The more you reach this time, the less you can't take it lightly."

He is the commander this time, responsible for dispatching disciples of Zaoge Sect and defending this place.

Of course he knew who his opponent was, so in order to deal with these righteous people, more than 500 people are stationed in the Changsheng Palace, which shows how much Zaoge Sect attaches importance to these evil guests.
