Chapter 2115 Twice

"Since we have decided to join forces, let's exchange information first."

Zhou Shu said calmly, "Brother Ping, I have not found any trace of the secret method from the first floor to here, not at all, and I am sure that I have not missed anything. In other words, the secret method is probably here." The last two levels, if there is a secret method.”

Information is one of Zhou Shu's most important means, and this is also the significance of joining forces with He Taiping.

"I have been on the eighth floor since the strange incident. I have searched three times and found nothing."

He Taiping sighed, feeling a little sad, "Including more than a year before the strange incident, I have explored the eighth floor eighteen times, and I have been on the ninth floor for ten days in total, and I have not found anything. But this time Before I entered the ghost realm, I came in dozens of times, but I didn’t have your talisman at that time, but it was a lot of trouble, so it’s better to go in and look carefully this time.”

Zhou Shu was slightly startled, "So many times?"

He Taiping spread his hands and said, "Starting from the sixth floor, I can't wait to dig three feet into the ground."

Zhou Shu thought for a while and said, "Then you only stayed on the ninth floor for ten days? Are there strong monsters?"

"No, in fact there are very few monsters. You may not encounter one in two days, but it is not easy to sustain it for two days, and I can't."

He Taiping shook his head and explained.

Different from other floors, the ninth floor is a large and abandoned sect. It should be where the ruins of Xingshan Gate are located. It is the center of the ghost realm and has various facilities, such as a refining room, a medicine field, a cultivation cave, etc., of course. There are also many formations, and you may fall into them if you are not careful.

Of course, there are also some Xingshan disciples who have turned into dead creatures and ghosts. Most of them are loose immortals, and occasionally they encounter true immortals.

These are normal, but the most troublesome thing is the gray fog shrouding the ninth floor.

This gray mist is different from other layers. It is so solid that it is no different from its essence. It is not just a dead energy. It also contains a lot of power of laws. Moving in the gray mist is like walking with a mountain on your back. The whole body is under pressure. It's huge, and as I walk, some strange forces will invade my body. I'm getting more and more tired. It's hard to hold on for a day, so I have to go out.

And after you go out, those powers are still with you, and you must spend some time to rest and slowly eliminate them, otherwise you will always be carrying them.

"Every time I enter the ninth floor and explore for a period of time, I have to find a place to recuperate. It takes dozens of days or more to recover as before."

He Taiping shook his head unconsciously, "Even so, I still feel that those powers have not been completely eliminated. Over the past year or so, my cultivation has decreased but not increased. If I can't find the secret method this time, I'm afraid it will be useless to come in next time. "

Zhou Shu thought for a while and said, "Is it the kind of power in the ghost core?"

"Yes, but if you don't touch the ghost core, nothing will happen to you. But on the ninth floor, it's everywhere, and you can't do anything without touching it."

He Taiping nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "They say it is the power of Mother Xingshan, but how could a quasi-sage like Mother Xingshan have such evil power? It is really hateful."

"I see."

Zhou Shu raised his hand and thanked him, "My brother, these words have been of great help."

He Taiping looked helpless, "What kind of help is that? You will know it when you get down. If you want to find the secret method, no one can hide it."

Zhou Shu nodded and thought about it.

He didn't know where the power came from, but what he was sure of was that the law of life and death had a certain resistance to it. He tested it with a ghost core. After splitting the ghost core, the power inside could be blocked by the Xuanyuan Sword. In other words, with Xuanyuan Sword around, the gray mist will not have a great impact on him, and he should be able to persist on the ninth level for a longer time.

"I also have something to say."

After a pause, Zhou Shu said slowly, "Didn't I find the Jiuyou ghost boy on the eighth floor?"

He Taiping's face tightened, "What? Jiuyou ghost boy?"

"good."

Zhou Shu said seriously, "I am chasing the Jiuyou ghost boy here from the fourth floor. If it is not on the eighth floor, it will be on the ninth floor. In other words, while we are looking for the secret method, Might still encounter it.”

"There is also the Jiuyou ghost boy..."

He Taiping frowned, "This monster is more terrifying than any monster in the ghost realm. How come there is this ghost thing suddenly? Now it's a lot of trouble. Damn it, there are always some ghost things happening in the ghost realm."

Zhou Shu stared at him, "There is always a way to deal with it. We have to find a secret method, right?"

"Of course I'm looking for it."

Speaking of the secret method, a cold light flashed in He Taiping's eyes, and his murderous intention appeared, "Even if the Jiuyou Ghost King blocks it, I will go find it! If I die, I will die. If I can't find it anyway, I won't be able to find it no matter how much I practice." significance."

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, "The secret method is so important to you? With my ability, even without the secret method, it is not difficult to return to the past state, right?"

He Taiping looked at Zhou Shu, half-smiling but not smiling, "Did you see it?"

Zhou Shu knew that he had spilled the beans, so he could only nod, "From the way the little brother looked at Tiancaizhu that day, I guessed something. In fact, it doesn't matter if you are tortured. Just save your life. You can always return to the realm." .”

He Taiping smiled sadly, "If it's just once, maybe I can go back."

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"You guessed it, so I'll just tell you."

He Taiping took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I was punished twice, of course not in Wufang City. From a true immortal to a miscellaneous immortal, my realm fell twice in succession. Hey, I was punished twice with a divine whip. All the strong power of law has been scattered. Although I have penetrated the law of fire, it is extremely difficult to gather the power of law again. It has been scattered into sand and cannot be squeezed into a ball..."

Speaking of sadness, he finally sighed after taking a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm, "So I can only find another way to find other ways to be promoted, and I have been staying in the east gate just for the rumored ghost realm. Secret method.”

Zhou Shu hesitated inwardly. He didn't expect that He Taiping's experience was so strange. He actually fell in cultivation twice in a row, which was unheard of.

He sighed and comforted, "Brother Ping, for us cultivators, no matter how many hardships we have, it is all experience, and it is not necessarily a disadvantage. If we can save our lives, we will have a chance to make a comeback. I believe in you."

"Sooner or later it will make a comeback."

He Taiping gradually became indifferent, "I comfort myself like this, otherwise how can I survive this life? Hehe, from a true immortal to a miscellaneous immortal, this kind of experience is not something everyone can have, but... this time If I can't find the secret method, my path to immortality will be over, so I will definitely give everything, no matter the cost."

Glancing at Zhou Shu, he solemnly said, "If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me. If I am destined to not get it, then I will entrust everything to you."

Zhou Shu nodded lightly, "I should do my best, the secret method is also very important to me."

"Um."

He Taiping stared at Zhou Shu for a while, "Let's go, I know where the ninth floor is."
