Chapter 1239: Eliminate All Evil
The Ghost King Xuanlu thought he had led them into a death trap, which was actually not wrong, except that the death trap was specially set for him.
In this way, no matter how many death traps, ghosts, and corpse puppets were arranged in the real Busha Hua Ting, they could not count on He Lingchuan and the other two. Because they walked into the space in the mirror.
At this time, the mirror was also screaming: "It's cracked, I'm cracked again!"
He Lingchuan picked it up and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he saw a crack in the mirror.
The Ghost King exploded in its space, and the power was not bad. Of course, the soul-catching mirror was shaken. It didn't crack directly like before because its Taoism has been improved and its body is stronger.
Fortunately, it has the ability to heal itself, and it can recover after a period of care. He Lingchuan took out a Baishan Pill, crushed it into powder, and applied it on the mirror.
The powder disappeared in an instant.
Fu Liushan was amazed at the side: "A magical weapon that eats elixirs? This is really a good treasure."
"Hey, is that ghost thing really gone?" Counting it up, the ghost king has pretended to die twice in front of them! Dong Rui scratched his head, "Could it be that we killed another clone, and the real ghost king is still hiding in some corner?"
"This is the first time I have seen the clone ability of the Xuanlu Ghost King." It is amazing that ordinary ghosts can split into two or three clones. The ability of the Xuanlu Ghost King has surpassed Fu Liushan's cognition, "Your statement cannot be ruled out."
The ghost exorcism experience left by the ancestors of the Fu family did not say what to do in this situation. "But the emergence of this special ability is either related to its experience before death, or to some magical weapon or spiritual object it encountered after death. So-"
He Lingchuan suddenly pointed to Bu Sha Huating: "Why not ask its confidant."
Ghosts are emerging in twos and threes in this corridor.
They were no longer vicious and did not attack. Two of them even bowed to He Lingchuan and others and spoke in human language:
"Thank you for getting rid of the ghost king and saving us from suffering!"
When Fu Liushan asked, he learned that their souls that had been taken away had returned, and the ghosts in the underground palace were no longer restricted by the soul lamp.
But considering the disguised performance of the ghost king Xuanlu in Mian Village, this alone was not enough to prove that its soul had been destroyed.
He Lingchuan said: "Xuanlu is good at splitting, how can we confirm that it has been eliminated? Otherwise, when we leave, you will still not be free!"
Several ghosts were about to float out of the cave, but they had to float back after hearing this.
Fu Liushan asked them: "We need you to lead the way. Where does the Ghost King Xuanlu usually rest?"
One of the old ghosts floated over: "Please follow me."
It led everyone down the steps and returned to the underground palace. Then it turned left and right, and after walking many detours, it stopped in front of a stone room:
"This is the residence of the Ghost King Xuanlu."
The three of them walked in and saw that the stone room was not big but clean. There were beds, tables and chairs, which was no different from the residence of ordinary people. But the materials of the seats and beds were all rosewood, which showed that the quality requirements of the Ghost King Xuanlu were not low.
On the same rosewood altar, there was a set of armor.
The armor was scarred, but each piece of armor was wiped very brightly, and there were several traces of careful repairs.
"Judging from the style, it's old."
Fu Liushan pondered: "Is this probably the armor it wore when it was alive?"
"It's very likely." He Lingchuan pulled out Fusheng and used the blade to pick up the armor plate on the chest, "Look, there are black stains. This is solidified blood. Unless all the armor plates are removed, it can't be wiped off."
The blood stains flowed from the top, indicating that the owner of the armor had been seriously injured and blood was splashed.
There is also a woodcut on the wall.
The content of the print is a general leading his army to go to war, and the background is a prosperous and majestic city.
Looking closely at the general's face, he is somewhat similar to the Xuanlu Ghost King.
Dong Rui muttered: "This ghost king is so arrogant. Not only did he paint a portrait of himself, but he also offered sacrifices to himself!"
Everyone walked around the room and checked carefully. No secret doors or secret passages were found, nor were any traces of magic or ghosts left.
Fu Liushan suggested: "To be on the safe side, let's burn everything in the house."
Others certainly wouldn't object, so the utensils in the house, whether it was beds, chairs, or armor and portraits, were gathered together and burned.
Ghosts are naturally afraid of fire, but when Fu Liushan burned the ghost king's residence, more than ten ghosts came to watch.
"Burn well, burn well!" They huddled in the corner, with a happy light in their eyes.
Some ghosts even gnashed their teeth.
He Lingchuan and others stood guard at the door to prevent accidents. But until the fire subsided, there was nothing unusual inside.
No ghosts rushed out, and no mechanisms or formations were triggered.
The things belonging to the ghost king's residence were burned clean in silence.
"That's it?" The three looked at each other, "It's all over?"
Was the ghost king destroyed? At least, they didn't find the special magic weapon that Fu Liushan assumed.
Fu Liushan looked at the flames and thought for a long time, then asked the ghosts who were watching:
"Is there a secret room in the underground palace that the ghost king often goes to?"
The ghosts looked at each other, all at a loss.
"We don't know." The old ghost who led the way said, "If it is a secret room, the ghost king will not let us know."
The other ghosts nodded one after another: "Yes, it never trusts us!"
Most of the ghosts here were transformed after being killed by Xuan Lu, and they already had resentment towards him. How could Xuan Lu trust them to reveal his secrets?
"So, is there a situation where it often goes alone and does not allow any ghosts to follow?"
The ghosts gathered together to discuss, and finally pushed out a little ghost who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old: "It has served Xuanlu the longest, ask it!"
The little ghost said timidly: "Yes, but it is not a secret room. The ghost king Xuanlu occasionally goes to the moss by the water to meditate. At that time, it will drive away all ghosts and not allow us to get close."
The three looked at each other: "How long does it usually last?"
"It varies. Sometimes it takes two or three hours, and sometimes it takes one or two quarters of an hour." The little ghost said again, "Three years ago, an unlucky ghost accidentally disobeyed orders and walked over. As a result, he was caught by the ghost king and swallowed in one gulp!"
It sounds promising: "Lead the way."
The road is not long. The little ghost led the three people for two quarters of an hour, climbing up and down, and soon heard the sound of gurgling water.
This is the underground river that the three people encountered before, but it is located downstream.
A piece of open space on the riverside, about thirty square meters, is actually covered with glowing moss.
The light is bright blue and transparent, outlining the shape of the solid rock on the shore.
Fu Liushan and Dong Rui walked back and forth in this open space, but they did not find any trace of magical power.
Even the soul-catching mirror did not sense any abnormality.
"What is so special about this place that is worth the ghost king coming here?" Dong Rui picked up a small piece of glowing moss. This thing can grow with water, which is quite beautiful. "Does it really need to meditate here?"
"It's just an excuse." He Lingchuan also walked back and forth, but his expression was much more confident than the two of them, because -
The divine bone necklace finally heated up.
There must be something good nearby.
