After a while, a bottle of jet black talisman ink was prepared.
Shen Luo took out the talisman pen and drew it on the talisman paper, and soon completed a black talisman, and poured mana into it.
The black talisman shattered silently, and a large black fog emerged from it, turning into a continuously rotating black vortex.
With a sound of "嗖", a tall horse face jumped out from the inside, it was the ecstasy horse face that Shen Luo had met in the early years.
The black talisman was the psychic contract that Hooking Ma Mian had given him before, and it had already been used up, but with his current cultivation level, it was not difficult to draw one by himself.
Although Mi Su was young, he also possessed a high level of cultivation, and he was not afraid when he saw the horse's face, but instead looked him up and down curiously.
"Who summoned me? You are... Shen Luo!" The soul-hunting horse saw Shen Luo's face clearly, showing surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Horse Face, long time no see." Shen Luo greeted with a smile.
"Oh, yes, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years. Hey, your cultivation level!" Hooking Mamian was a little emotional, but immediately noticed Shen Luo's cultivation level, and his eyes widened.
"Ms. Shen has been helped by experts over the years, and has had some adventures. He has already advanced to the stage of true immortality." Shen Luo said frankly without hiding his cultivation.
Hooking Ma Mian is speechless, he has worked diligently for the affairs of the underworld these years, coupled with some opportunities, his cultivation base has made considerable progress, he has already broken through the Mahayana stage, and his progress among the many ghosts in the underworld has been considered extremely fast, but he Shen Luo is nothing compared to it.
"Fellow Daoist Shen... No, Senior Shen summoned me, what's the matter?" Hooking Horse Face coughed dryly and asked respectfully.
"We are old acquaintances, and we have been helped by horse-faced fellow Daoist many times before, so there is no need to be so estranged, you and I can continue to call each other as daoist friends." Shen Luo said with a faint smile.
"Since that's the case, then I'll be presumptuous." Hooked Horse scratched his head and smiled, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
He is also an arrogant person, and he has supported Shen Luo many times before, so he is naturally reluctant to call him senior.
"The purpose of summoning the horse-faced fellow daoist today is because of the attack on Chang'an City yesterday. I think the horse-faced fellow daoist has already known about it." Shen Luo talked about the business.
"This matter has already shocked the world, and the three realms know it, so I naturally know it." The soul-hunting horse nodded.
"I'm cooperating with the Tang Dynasty government to investigate the cause of the demon turmoil. Unfortunately, I haven't found any clues. Many people were killed in this turmoil, and their souls have entered the underworld. These people may know something, so I want to go to the underworld. , talk to the souls of these common people, I wonder if fellow Daoist Ma Mian can arrange it?" Shen Luo cupped his hands.
"This..." Hooking Mamian hesitated.
Chapter 1448 Nameless Ghost Town
"Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, don't worry, I'm not trying to bring them back to Yang, I'm just asking some things, and I'll answer after I'm done, so I won't embarrass you," Shen Luo said.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but the souls of those Chang'an people who died yesterday did not enter the underworld for some reason, and were transferred to a place called an unnamed ghost city in the underworld. The disciples from the underworld are looking there, but they haven't been found yet." Hooking Ma Mian said.
"There is such a thing! Since that's the case, can I ask Fellow Daoist Ma Mian to take you there and look for the souls of the common people together? I have some means in terms of finding people." Shen Luo frowned when he heard this, and then said .
"Everyone in the underworld is struggling with this matter. Fellow Daoist Shen is willing to help, so I'm naturally very happy." The soul-hunting horse's face was overjoyed when he heard the words, he raised his hand to sacrifice the mourning stick, chanted the spell, and swiped in the air.
A large cloud of black air emerged out of thin air, and quickly circled around the mourning stick, forming a black vortex in the void in the blink of an eye.
"Now all forces in Chang'an City are here, don't move around, just wait here for my return." Shen Luo said to Mi Su.
"Okay." Mi Su obediently agreed.
Shen Luo rubbed Misu's head, and jumped into the black vortex with Hooking Mamian.
Black air surged before his eyes, and his body fell straight down. It took him a while to return to normal. He had already arrived at a desolate plain in the Underworld, and there was the sound of water waves in the distance. .
"Fellow Daoist Shen, come with me." The soul-hunting horse flew away into the distance with Shen Luo on his face.
Everything around retreated quickly, but this speed was too slow in Shen Luo's eyes.
"The situation is urgent. Fellow Daoist Horse Face, your evasion technique is a bit slow. Let me take you for a ride, and you can show the way." Shen Luo flicked his sleeves and shone a golden light around the two of them, shooting forward at several times the evasion speed. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace in the distance.
Hooking Ma Mian was surprised, he had once traveled with a real immortal elder from Yincao Difu, that person's escape speed was much slower than Shen Luo's.
"What realm has Shen Luo's strength reached? Could it be that he is already in the middle stage of a true immortal? How long has it been? Tsk tsk, it's really incredible!" He thought to himself, keeping a calm face, and kept pointing the way.
Half an hour later, the two arrived near a black mountain forest.
This mountain forest looks boundless, and the trees inside are extremely tall. Giant trees surrounded by dozens of people can be seen everywhere. The thick canopy leaves cover the entire mountain forest, and these trees are all pitch black, making the whole mountain forest extremely dark. Can't see what's inside.
The yin energy in the mountain forest is extremely thick, and it is quite strange, giving people a sticky feeling, and the penetration of spiritual consciousness into it is actually greatly hindered.
"The nameless ghost city is in the depths of this dark mountain forest. Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful of this dark mountain forest. The yin energy here is peculiar, affecting the spread of spiritual consciousness, and the yin beasts in life are different from other hell ghosts. They can hide in the shadows and attack others. It's hard to detect its trace." Hooked Horse Face reminded.
"Master, leave all those Yin Beasts to me. I have already refined the power of those Yin Beasts absorbed in the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, and I am only a little short of breaking through the bottleneck of the real fairy. I need a lot of Yin Beast power to replenish." Ghost The voice of Zhao Feiji came out from the Qiankun bag.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and nodded.
"This place is extremely remote, how could the souls of the people of Chang'an be sent here?" He said immediately.
"This matter is also very strange. When the souls of the people in Chang'an were sent to the underworld, the six reincarnation disks suddenly became disordered, which caused the souls of those people to be sent here." Hooking Ma Mian said.
"The six reincarnation disks suddenly become disordered?" Hearing this, Shen Luo suddenly recalled what happened to the Dragon King of Jinghe back then.
Back then, the Dragon King of Jinghe captured Tang Emperor's soul into the underworld. A mysterious black shadow in the underworld once used the power of the six reincarnation disks to cooperate with the Dragon King of Jinghe in casting spells. Now the six reincarnation disks have changed again, and it is at this juncture , Could it be that someone is interfering with the six-path reincarnation disk again, cooperating with those monsters in Chang'an City to make trouble?
His expression became serious. If it was as he thought, who interfered with the six paths of reincarnation disk this time? Was it that mysterious black shadow back then?Or someone else?
"Fellow Daoist Ma Mian, I was seriously injured and fell into a coma many years ago. I have been asleep for more than a hundred years. I know almost nothing about the evil calamity. In order to survive the evil calamity, there must have been a lot of fights here in the underworld, right?" Shen Luo murmured After a while, he asked towards the face of the soul-hunting horse.
"That's natural. Chi You is not only powerful, but also has many demon soldiers and generals under his command, attacking the territories of the major forces in the Three Realms at the same time, trying to destroy the Three Realms in one fell swoop. Our Underworld was also attacked. In order to resist those demon soldiers and generals, the Underworld The disciples of Yinshen and Yincao Jifu lost at least [-]%." Hooking Mamian said with some regret, many of his colleagues and friends also fell in that battle.
"I heard that the demons are good at manipulating people's hearts and stirring up desires in their hearts. Because of this ability, they have arranged many characters such as traitors in all major forces. I don't know if there were such people lurking in the underworld back then?" Shen Luo continued to ask. .
"Internal traitor? I haven't heard of this, why does Fellow Daoist Shen ask such a question?" Hooking Ma Mian thought for a while, then shook his head and asked.
"It's nothing, just ask casually." Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat, but it didn't show on his face.
Didn't the underworld find out the traitor?That is to say, that mysterious figure was still lurking here back then, so the change of the six reincarnation discs is very likely to be done by this person.
"Fellow Daoist Horse Face, who can contact the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk?" He asked again.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk? That thing is placed in the Department of Reincarnation. The Department of Reincarnation is a forbidden area of the underworld. It is guarded by many Yin soldiers led by Black and White Impermanence all year round. In addition to that, it is Master Zhuanlun Wang. He practices the Six Paths of Reincarnation and can control it. Six paths of reincarnation disk. Except for a few of them, even Hades of the ten temples, don’t get close without sufficient reason... Fellow Daoist Shen, do you think that the change of the six paths of reincarnation disk is intentional?” Halfway through the explanation, the soul-hunting horse face suddenly Realizing the deep meaning contained in Shen Luo's question, he suddenly raised his head.
"I do have some guesses about this. I don't know if fellow Daoist Ma Mian still remembers the incident when Emperor Tang was detained by the Dragon King of Jinghe? I was involved in that incident that day. I once saw the Dragon King of Jinghe and a mysterious Standing together, the figure once said that it mobilized the power of the six reincarnation disks to help Jinghe Dragon King and Tang Emperor transform the soul source..." Shen Luo secretly praised Ma Mian for his sharp mind, pondered for a while, and said what he saw back then out.
He is now going to track down the whereabouts of the souls of the people in Chang'an, and has no time to investigate the spies hidden in the underworld. Although the soul-hunting horse face is not strong, but has a keen mind, it may not be possible to find that person if he comes forward to investigate.
Chapter 1449 The Underworld
Hearing Shen Luo's words, Hooking Ma Mian's expression changed drastically, and his mood was extremely restless.
When the Dragon King of Jinghe imprisoned the soul of Emperor Tang, he personally participated in it in the end. He knew the process in detail. The daughter of the Dragon King of Jinghe later joined the side of the demons. It is hard to guarantee that the Dragon King of Jinghe has nothing to do with the demons. And the mysterious figure who cooperated with the Dragon King of Jinghe is by no means a good person, and it is very likely that it is also from the Demon Race.
Shen Luo had just asked if there were undercover demons in the Underworld in the Devil's Tribulation, and what he said obviously meant the same thing.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, for reminding me that this matter is extremely important, so I will send a message to Master Zhong Kui." Hooking Ma Mian's mind flashed these thoughts, bowed deeply to Shen Luo, took out a black jade tablet, and was about to make a trick to activate it.
"Wait a minute." Shen Luo's eyes moved, and he raised his hand to stop the Haunted Horse's face.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what's the matter?" Hooking Ma Mian asked in astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist Horse Mian, I have great admiration for Master Zhong Kui, but the identity of that mysterious figure has not been found out, anyone is suspicious, if I hadn't known each other for a long time, and together smashed the demon clan and demon wind Conspiracy, I will not tell you about it." Shen Luo said.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you doubt Lord Zhong Kui? This...impossible..." Hooking Mamian's eyes widened.
"It's never a big mistake to be careful." Shen Luo said slowly.
"Alright, then I'll investigate secretly myself first." Hooking Ma's face changed from cloudy to cloudy, and finally put down the jade card in his hand.
"I'll leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Horse Face. If you need help from me, feel free to ask." Shen Luo said.
Hooking Mamian nodded slowly.
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing now is to find the people in Chang'an City. Let's go." Shen Luo flew into the forest in front of him with a horse face.
As soon as the two of them entered the forest, the darkness in front of them immediately surged, and several black shadows shot out from it and rushed towards them.
"Haha, what a pure yin force, give it to grandpa." Zhao Feiji also shot out from the Qiankun bag, and shot out a black and red light from his mouth, engulfing the black shadows.
These black shadows were snake-shaped beasts, engulfed by Zhao Feiji's murderous light, their bodies melted quickly, and they wanted to escape in fright, but they couldn't get out of the murderous light.
In just a few breaths, the snake-shaped Yin Beast turned into a few streams of black air, which entered Zhao Fei's halberd's mouth.
Zhao Feiji patted his stomach, looking very satisfied.
The soul-hunting horse looked at Zhao Feiji, the hairs all over his body stood on end, he couldn't help but took two steps back.
Facing this ghost in front of him, he felt like he had encountered a natural enemy. If the two of them fought, he believed that his fate would definitely be the same as those snake-shaped beasts.
"This is my ghost general, you don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Horse Face." Shen Luo explained.
"It turned out to be the spiritual pet of fellow daoist." Hooking Ma Mian heaved a sigh of relief, but he still looked at Zhao Feiji with some apprehension.
The three of them continued to move forward, and wave after wave of Yin beasts continued to attack, many of them were powerful, comparable to the existence of Mahayana masters, but no matter how many Yin beasts came, they all became Zhao Feiji's meal without exception.
The more the soul-hunting horse face looked at Zhao Feiji, the more frightened he became, and the more awed Shen Luo became in his heart.
He really didn't understand how the human race kid who was not a little bit worse than himself in the past, not only improved his cultivation by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, but also subdued such a powerful subordinate.
The three of them traveled unimpeded all the way, and it didn't take long for them to come to a huge ruined city deep in the mountains. Can't see the side.
The buildings in the ruins are basically blue-gray, exuding a fluctuating aura, but it is not Yin Qi.
A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Luo's eyes. Could it be that these ruins were not from the underworld before?
"Is this the nameless ghost town?" he asked.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Shen, don't look at this city as inconspicuous. In fact, the scope is very vast, and this ruins are not just above the ground, there are several layers of space underground. It's been a long time." Hooking Mamian said.
Shen Luo nodded slightly, but didn't care about this matter, and fell down.
"Who are they?" Several figures shot out from the ghost city and greeted them, but they were a few figures in black robes, both men and women, and neither of them looked weak.
"Don't be presumptuous, this is Daoist Shen Luo of Tang Chunqiu Temple, I invited you to find the souls of the people in Chang'an." The soul-hunting horse face also flew down, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Elder Ma Mian." Those people were surprised when they saw Haunting Horse Mian, and hurriedly bowed to salute.
"These are the disciples of the underworld?" Shen Luo looked at these people.
The sect of the Yincao Difu did not exist more than a hundred years ago, and he only recently learned about this sect. It is said that it was the sect created by the Yincao Difu to counter the demons when the catastrophe broke out.
Although Yincao Difu has not been around for a long time, the Taoism in the sect is exquisite, and it is by no means inferior to the old schools such as Fangcun Mountain and Huasheng Temple.
"How is the situation now? Have you found those Chang'an people?" Hooking Ma Mian asked.
"The first two floors of the nameless ghost city have been searched, but nothing has been found. Several elders are leading the disciples of the underworld and the Yin gods towards the third floor, but suddenly many powerful ghosts and ghosts appeared on the third floor. The search process is very slow." A bald middle-aged man said respectfully, but he was a monster.
Yincao Difu not only recruits disciples from the human race, but also from the monster race and demon race, but it is not as famous as Fangcunshan.
"Ghosts? I know, I will go there later, you continue to search the above." Hooking Mamian frowned, then said.
"Yes." Several people agreed, took a look at Shen Luo, turned and left.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Horse Face has also joined the Yincao Difu sect, and his status is quite high." Shen Luo laughed.
"Lord Zhong Kui asked me to join, as an elder of the sect's foreign affairs, in charge of teaching the disciples of the underworld to learn about the three worlds, which made Fellow Daoist Shen laugh at me." Hooking Ma Mian said helplessly.
Shen Luo didn't talk much about this, and continued to move forward with Hooking Mamian, and soon came to the depths of the ruined city.
There is a dark passage leading to the underground, which is more than ten feet high and bottomless.
"Master, I'll go down and open the way for you first." Zhao Feiji felt the thicker yin energy in the passage, his eyes were full of excitement, and he flew in without waiting for Shen Luo's response.
Shen Luo shook his head, but he didn't stop Zhao Feiji from entering with Haunted Horse Face.
"In addition to the ground, this nameless ghost city has four floors underground, one floor is larger than the next floor, and the spiritual consciousness is more restricted in the ground. It may be difficult to find the people of Chang'an City." Hooking Mamian said as he walked. .
Chapter 1450 Ancient Witch Pattern
"It's okay, I'll take care of the search." Shen Luo stopped after going tens of feet underground, and took out something, which was the map of Shanhe Sheji.
He made a tactic with both hands, and the map of the mountains and rivers shone bright white, and the hula unfolded and fell on the ground of the passage.
Stripes of yellow light shot out from the map of the mountains and rivers and merged into the ground below, and groups of yellow lights also emerged in the map of the mountains and rivers, changing rapidly.
Shen Luo's ten fingers quickly made a tactic, and the mana in his body was swallowed by the map of Shanhe Sheji like a tide, which was ten times stronger than any magic weapon that could be activated.
His complexion gradually turned pale, but his casting speed did not slow down.
The yellow light in the map of Shanhe Sheji distorted and changed, forming a yellow phantom.
Hooking Mamian took a closer look, showing a look of shock. The yellow phantom was a miniature version of the area map. It was the nameless ghost town, and the ground and the four underground floors were clearly displayed.
In this miniature version of the terrain, there are also flashing spots of various colors, mainly black and gray, and there are a few other colors, and the brightness is also strong and weak.
"These light spots are the creatures in the nameless ghost city? The brighter the light, the higher the cultivation level?" The soul-hunting horse face became more shocked, and his eyes quickly stopped in the passage leading to the underground, which was where he and Shen Luo were. There are two light spots, one gold and one black.
The golden light spot is extremely bright, far better than the black light spot next to it.
"As expected." Hooking Ma Mian was convinced, and his gaze towards Shanhe Shejitu became hot.
