Chapter 344 Underground Lake Mother and Child Heavenly Ghost

Shi Xuan followed until he reached the crack but did not continue to follow. He found a depression nearby and the transformed breeze rolled into it and waited patiently.

The reason why he decided just now was that sometimes too strong earthly evil winds and fires could block the spiritual consciousness. Now under Shi Xuan's spiritual consciousness, the hidden crack was in full view, with many twists and turns, darkness, insects and ghosts.

The five baby ghosts were among the insects and ghosts, just like returning to their old nest. They showed their bodies and flew forward in a swagger, while the insects and ghosts were terrified, as if they saw their natural nemesis or the emperor of their own clan, and retreated to both sides like a tide.

The baby ghost went all the way down and stopped five meters away from the end of the crack. Then, with a creak, the stone wall of the crack slowly opened, revealing a cave.

Shi Xuan did not expect that there was a hidden nest here. It seemed that there was a formation to isolate the spiritual consciousness, and it was quite powerful and could restrain the spiritual consciousness of the Yin God period.

While the stone wall was still open, Shi Xuan scanned it with his spiritual sense and found five monks wearing black, almost gloomy robes. They were all skinny and looked like skeletons. If a child saw them, they would have nightmares for a long time.

They opened their mouths, and their upper and lower jaws suddenly opened wide, exceeding the limit of normal monks' mouths, revealing bloody mouths and sharp white teeth, as if three-quarters of a head was that big mouth.

Five green baby ghosts drilled into their mouths and entered their bodies, and then they closed their mouths, and a green air flashed on their faces.

These guys who looked like monks but were not monks actually had a strength that was close to the golden elixir.

Seeing that the stone wall was about to close, Shi Xuan did not dare to transform his spiritual consciousness into sword energy and then split it into a strand to drill in as he did in the void formation. After all, spiritual consciousness is not as convenient as the thoughts of the great powers, and once it is blocked from the Yin God, it will dissipate on its own. Under the formation that isolates the spiritual consciousness, it can only be preserved if the spiritual consciousness is transformed into breath, but after it becomes breath, it has no effect at all.

With great skill and courage, two wings, one purple and one blue, appeared behind Shi Xuan. With a light flap, he appeared silently in the corner of the cave and immediately disappeared.

This cave is gloomy and terrifying. There are often looming ghosts in the air, and they make a sad cry of "woo woo woo~~".

The cave is not big and can be seen at a glance. There is nothing special, but at the end of the cave, there is a stone staircase leading down, and the five black-robed skeleton-like monks are walking towards the stone staircase.

The stone staircase kept winding down. Shi Xuan, with his hands behind his back, seemed to be leisurely stepping in the air, following the five black-robed monks at a leisurely pace. On both sides of the stone staircase were rocks emitting strong yin and evil spirits.

After walking for a long time, a light appeared in front of him, which looked like a larger cave.

The view suddenly became clear, but Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly because of the bloody scene.

The cave was very large, very large. There was even a large underground lake in the center of the cave. The lake water was bright red and almost black, and a trace of black mist was emitted, making the entire lake shrouded in a layer of black mist, which looked hazy, terrifying and weird.

There were thousands of corpses around the lake. Each corpse seemed to have been drained of blood and water, and was extremely skinny, like a specially made thousand-year-old mummy. Moreover, it seemed that these corpses were at least from the Qi-inducing monks. So many Qi-inducing monk corpses must not be provided by Linyuan City. They should have taken a long time to collect from many places.

These 1,296 corpses, some lying horizontally, some lying vertically, some standing straight, some standing diagonally... all kinds of postures, together with the lake and an object in the middle of the lake, actually formed a strange formation, and shielding the divine consciousness was one of its functions.

As for other uses of the formation, Shi Xuan dared not try it. This world specializes in studying the battle formations that low-level cultivators can defeat high-level cultivators with large numbers and strength. God knows if this formation is one of them.

You must know that 360 Qi-inducing cultivators plus 24 Soul-inducing cultivators can kill the Golden Core ghost. There are 1,296 Qi-inducing corpses here, plus the five black-robed cultivators whose strength is close to the Golden Core, as well as the lake and the object in the middle of the lake. It is definitely impossible to defeat Shi Xuan, but if the two sides fight, one of them is not contained, and it gets out of hand, Shi Xuan himself can't stand the light!

There is a small island in the middle of the lake. It is not big, only about ten feet in radius. There is a strange formation painted on it. A total of thirty-six black iron coffins are left, and the talismans under the coffins extend all the way to the center of the formation. There is a black object like a pebble. It is called a stone, but in Shi Xuan's eyes, it is found that a little life light is flowing.

Five black-robed monks slowly walked into the shallow lake, and then sat cross-legged in meditation. The lake water turned into lotus, supporting their bodies. With every breath they took, a green light flew out of the bodies of the Qi-inducing period around them and merged into the lake water, and black light flowed from the lotus transformed by the lake water to them from time to time.

Shi Xuan watched quietly at the side. For monks who often retreat, this patience is not lacking. Shi Xuan touched his chin while watching, thinking whether to leave like this, or wait for an opportunity to catch some prisoners.

If he left, the stone wall would not be able to stop him, but it would alert the people here and startle the enemy. If he wanted to capture prisoners, it would be best to wait for these black-robed monks to leave the cave and the range of the formation.

Before Shi Xuan made a decision, changes occurred in the cave. One of the mummies showed signs of disintegration, perhaps because it had been absorbed for too long or something else.

The five black-robed monks immediately discovered the abnormality through the formation, so one of them stood up and took out another corpse from his storage bag. The corpse was well preserved and seemed to have just died, but from Shi Xuan's point of view, it should have been dead for at least several years.

Seeing the opportunity that might appear, Shi Xuan concentrated his consciousness and was ready to go.

The black-robed monk walked to the side of the mummy and took out a jade token from his body to suspend the formation. He had just brushed the mummy away with his sleeve and was about to put it down when something strange happened.

The eyes went dark, and a mighty sacred golden bridge extended out from the void, and there were golden lotuses around the golden bridge. When the five black-robed monks saw the golden bridge, they could not move their eyes, and they seemed to stop at this moment.

Then countless black and white whirlpools appeared in the void, and with just a slight rotation, the five black-robed monks fainted immediately.

All this happened so quickly, as if it was calm here before the blink of an eye, and after the blink of an eye, the five black-robed monks were lying on the ground or in the lake, like those mummies.

In addition to not moving the magic weapon lightly, Shi Xuan also tried his best to fight a rabbit like a lion. He did not despise these black-robed monks because they were only close to the strength of the golden elixir. Seeing that he had made a success with one strike, he thought about it, and five light circles transformed by the Taiqing Five Thunder Qimen Locking Immortal Ring appeared one after another, flashing with purple, green, white, silver and gold five-color light and were about to fall on the five black-robed monks.

But the five black-robed monks emitted a green light, and then the green baby ghosts suddenly emerged from their stomachs, bloody, and swallowed the five black-robed monks.

Originally, the strength of these five baby ghosts was not high, even not enough for the soul, but after they swallowed the five black-robed monks and connected with a certain existence in the distance, their strength soared and directly soared to the level of the Yin Shen period.

It happened in a flash. After the five baby ghosts swallowed the black-robed monks, the sixth-level Taoist Taiqing Wulei Qimen Locking Immortal Ring circled them, but it was like a circle of nothingness, and it fell directly.

Shi Xuan originally thought that these baby ghosts were raised by the five black-robed monks, after all, their strength was so low, but now he found that this should be a very powerful Taoist technique in the ghost way - the mother-child heavenly ghost.

The mother ghost is in the hands of the Taoist practitioners, while the child ghost can be given to the subordinates, and the strength varies, some are high and some are low. Once the subordinates betray, the child ghost can devour the subordinate's flesh and blood soul to improve its own strength.

And if necessary, the mother ghost can remotely control the child ghost, remotely descend the spiritual consciousness, and by devouring the flesh and blood, the child ghost can be temporarily improved to a strength slightly inferior to the mother ghost.

Of course, these are not the key points. The key is that these child ghosts can wander between the void and the real space, making it impossible to attack or defend. This is not like Shi Xuan's virtual and real sword light differentiation. The virtual sword light cannot penetrate other people's defense.

Although it can be dealt with by locking the surrounding space, as the child ghost's strength increases, its ability to pass through space will also increase. In short, it is quite difficult to deal with.

After Shi Xuan's Taiqing Wulei Qimen Locking Immortal Ring failed, the five child ghosts disappeared into the void. Shi Xuan was not panicked. The Tai Chi diagram turned into a golden bridge on the other side and dropped golden light, which could not only defend but also fix the surrounding space.

As expected, a collision came from the golden light, and the golden light did not even cause a ripple, and the five baby ghosts fell out of nothingness. The power of the Tai Chi diagram is now close to the ninth-level Taoist magic, which is not something that these ghosts at the Yin God level can pass through.

For the mother-child heavenly ghost, general attacking Taoist magic, even if it reaches the seventh or eighth level, is useless, unless its main function is to lock the space, but that will make the attack insufficient, and its escape light is extremely fast, so using one Taoist magic to lock the space and then using another Taoist magic to attack is also somewhat impractical, because if the spiritual consciousness is not controlled enough, it will be distracted and will be caught by the gap to escape.

But this is no problem for Shi Xuan. He has always practiced in accordance with the "Bao Lu". Shi Xuan's spiritual consciousness control ability is second to none among the Yin God period cultivators, but for the mother-child heavenly ghost, Shi Xuan has a better way.

A huge black and white monster appeared behind Shi Xuan, and the five ghosts were suddenly frightened. The crying of ghosts resounded throughout the cave, just like a frog meeting a snake, or ice and snow meeting the sun. It seemed that the black and white monster was their nemesis that they could never get rid of or resist in their lifetime.
