The atmosphere in the basement suddenly became subtle - opposition was born in silence.
Needless to say, when the old madman opened his mouth to point it out, there was no room for easing.
Bang!
A soft hum sounded in the basement, as crisp as a dragon's roar, the sword light was like water, and the instantaneous brightness made the basement bright!
The Quexie sword on Qingyi's back was unsheathed...
"Jie...Jie...Jie..."
The barbarian bull laughed sinisterly, glanced at Qingyi, and finally his eyes fell on the old madman: "I didn't expect your eyes to be so vicious. After all, I still couldn't escape your eyes."
"Old, but still useful."
The old madman slowly took off the cloth bag on his back, took out the magic whip from it, and threw the tattered linen wrapped in the magic whip out with a "swish" shake of his hand, saying lightly: "Do you really think your method is very clever? The ghost borrowed the body of the living person, no matter how clever it is, even if you simply read the life memories of the two of them, but there are still flaws. After all, this is not your flesh and blood. When the firelight shines on your face, there are double images. Obviously, your souls have not been completely integrated into this flesh. Do you really think that the old man is blind and can't even see this trick?"
So that's it!
After listening to the old madman's words, I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when I was in the Venus Temple, I saw these two people in front of the campfire, they looked a little strange, as if there was a layer of shadow on their faces, they looked very gloomy. I thought that their faces were not right. Now I understand that the shadow I saw under the firelight was actually the ghost of Wang Mazi and Manniu! !
"Haha, it's interesting. You have seen the doorway a long time ago, and you are still following us?"
Wang Mazi clapped his hands, and then said: "But you are really a bit arrogant. If you didn't have your arrogance, we really wouldn't know what to do. Well, now that you are here, our mission is completed!"
After that, a black shadow floated out of Wang Mazi and Manniu's heads. As soon as the two black shadows landed, they turned into two men dressed like missionaries, with pale faces, purple lips, and small hats of priests on their heads. The yin aura was particularly strong, and they were obviously not human!
As soon as the two ghost officials landed on the ground, Wang Mazi and Manniu fell limply into the incense ash mud on the ground. As a result, the two ghost officials kicked them on the buttocks. Wang Mazi and Manniu immediately flew towards Qingyi and Lao Fengzi.
Qingyi and Lao Fengzi were also quick-witted and jumped towards Wang Mazi and Manniu, and caught Wang Mazi and Manniu in a flash.
Click, click, click...
At this time, I found that there was a series of mechanical rotation sounds above my head. Because I had not entered the basement, I was standing at the end of the stairs, and the sound was made at the end of the stairs, so I heard it particularly clearly.
No, there is a mechanism!
This was my first thought. I was so familiar with this kind of sound after so many tomb raiding. It was clearly the sound of some mechanisms being activated. These mechanisms had been in disrepair for a long time. Even if they were still usable, many things inside were no longer working. Once they were running, they would make this harsh sound!
Run!
This was my second thought. The sound of the mechanism running was clearly coming from above my head, but I didn't dare to look at what it was. If I hesitated for a while, I would have no chance. At that moment, I suddenly exerted force on my feet on the ground and jumped out horizontally. As a result, as soon as I jumped out, I felt a strong wind whistling behind me, followed by a loud "boom".
The next moment, I plunged into the incense ash mud. After nine thousand years, the incense ash mud had long been turned into mud by the stirring of the backflowing seawater. It was so exciting to plunge into it. My mouth and nose were full of incense ash mud, emitting a disgusting stench. Fortunately, I closed my eyes in time, otherwise something would have entered my eyes.
However, I didn't dare to delay in this situation. I quickly got up from the ground and subconsciously turned my head to take a look. I saw that the corridor had been blocked. There was a stone gate hanging above the entrance. The click-click-click sound just now was the sound made when the stone gate fell. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been crushed into meat paste when the stone gate fell!
Thinking about the thrill just now, I was also scared. I looked up at Qingyi and the old madman. The two of them were holding Wang Mazi and Manniu for inspection.
After a moment, the old madman raised his head, two cold rays burst out from his turbid eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The soul was swallowed."
The soul, one of the three souls, is indispensable to the living!
If the soul is lost, it can be found, but if it is swallowed by the ghost, where can it be found?
So, Wang Mazi and Manniu died just like that?
To be precise, they are not dead yet, only the soul is gone. The signs of living people will not disappear within a few days, but after a few days, the body will be cold, and the remaining two meat and seven spirits will also pass away with the wind, which is equivalent to the soul flying away!
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. After all, we have been together on the sea for so long, and I have learned a lot from them about the two skills of moving mountains and unloading hills, and I have also opened my eyes. As a result, they just flew away inexplicably in the blink of an eye. I am also very upset.
But, I can't say I am sad.
After entering this industry, my heart gradually hardened. I didn't spend much time with Wang Mazi and the others, so we couldn't even be called friends, and my sadness was shallow.
But Qingyi and the old madman were really furious. I think… probably because Banshan Xialing has fewer and fewer disciples now, and they were heartbroken to lose two of them here!
"Hahaha, the taste of living souls is still good!"
The ghost priest who possessed Wang Mazi's body raised his head and laughed, stretched out his black and purple tongue to lick his lips, and said grimly: "If I hadn't possessed a living person, I wouldn't have known that the Great Western Kingdom had been destroyed for so many years, and the outside world had entered another era of civilization, and that world was so wonderful and good! I think if our saint could get out one day, she would definitely lead us to spread the glory of the great god Orion to every corner of the new world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron door in the southeast opened with a "clang", and then... a large group of ghost believers rushed out from inside, and pairs of almost crazy eyes almost all fell on me. I don't know why they were staring at me, but being stared at by such a large number of ghosts really made my scalp numb!
"Catch him for me!"
The ghost priest who possessed Wang Mazi raised his pale hand and pointed at me, shouting in ancient Greek: "Catch the body of Tongyin, let the daughter of the great god Orion, the great Saint Sima, get out of trouble, and spread the glory of the great god Orion to mortals again!"
As soon as the ghost priest finished speaking, the ghost believers who rushed out of the iron gate rushed towards me like crazy!
"No, they want this kid!"
The old madman's face changed wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he said at an astonishing speed: "This kid is born with weak yang, and is the most rare by dirty things. That body can not only be taken by ordinary ghosts, but also by Yin Shuai and Shensha. The big guy imprisoned here obviously has taken a fancy to him and wants his body. As long as he takes his body, the big guy trapped here can get out of the seven-level fire bureau!"
After speaking, the old madman and Qingyi directly stood in front of me side by side!
At this time, I also sorted out some thoughts in my mind.
The old madman said that there was a scary dirty thing imprisoned in the Seven-Level Fire Bureau. Now it seems that the dirty thing should be the Saint of Sima mentioned by the Ghost God Officer.
This Saint has been trapped in the Seven-Level Fire Bureau for nine thousand years. She must want to get out, but to leave here, she needs to borrow a yang human body!
However, she is too powerful, and ordinary yang human bodies can't stand her, so I, who is born with weak yang, appeared...
If nothing unexpected happens, we were targeted by Saint Sima when we just entered this temple area. The disappearance of Fatty and others was caused by Saint Sima, and then Saint Sima asked two ghost gods under her to trick the three of us here.
In the final analysis - it just wants to take my body!
