Chapter 373 Red Light
Gu Shi said,
“Although the ghost messengers in the underworld are not creatures from the mortal world, they are still affected by the power of the five elements once they enter the mortal world. When they arrive at this place where the five elements are disordered, they will be trapped here and unable to find a way back. That’s why they don’t like to come to such places. Otherwise… why hasn’t anyone in the underworld come to seal up that crack in the ground for so many years? Isn’t it because they are afraid that people will get lost and can’t go back after entering this place? I think it’s probably because time has been too long and the souls cannot enter the underworld and have dissipated on their own!”

In such a place, even souls will get lost and can only wander here!
That is why it is said that although the place where the five elements are in disorder is not considered a dangerous place or a desolate place, ordinary cultivators will not easily enter it unless there is a huge temptation!
Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded,
"That's how it should be!"

These people had made sufficient preparations before entering this place, so there were a lot of things in their storage bags. Gu Shi didn't have the patience to clean them up, so he simply sent them all into the secret realm. He woke up the fox and the old horse who were sleeping soundly in the hall, pointed to the pile of items that looked like a small mountain, and said,
"I'll find some work for you. Sort these things one by one and put them in the temple..."

The fox and the old horse didn't say much and got up to work.

After Gu Shiyi came out, he and Pu Yanlan walked forward together again.

In this maze-like place, after walking for a while, you will come across some fallen skeletons. Some of them still have things left, while others have been taken away. Gu Shiyi did not let any of them go and ordered the little ghosts to sweep every place carefully.

After walking for a while, Gu Shiyi realized something was wrong.
"Yan'er, how long have we been walking here? It's been half a day, right? Why have we only seen the skeletons of cultivators, but never seen the things that Shao Jiajia said the Pixiu vomited out when it exploded? And... don't you think their deaths are a little strange? So many people don't seem to have entered this place at the same time, and they can't all have been killed by the Pixiu. Look at their bones, they are all intact. What is the cause of death?"

Could it be possible that a cultivator would starve to death here because he got lost?
What's more, from what I just saw, many people still have food and water in their storage bags!
really weird!
Pu Yanlan also frowned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said,
"I also find it strange. We have been walking for such a long time, why haven't we met Miss Shao and her group? How big is this place? I wonder how they are doing?"

Gu Shi said,
"Don't worry, they are more familiar with this place than we are. As long as they don't die at the hands of the Chi zombie, they can find a way out. Besides... Wang Xiang's biological father should have arrived with his men by now, and he might have already taken them out!"

Pu Yanlan nodded and said,

"Maybe!"

Gu Shiyi was still thinking about the good stuff in the Pixiu's belly, so he asked Pu Yanlan to look for it again.
"Send all the little ghosts away, make them go farther away, and look carefully!"

Pu Yanlan asked Hongyi to lead the evil ghosts to search around, while the two stayed where they were. This time, they waited for about half an hour before Hongyi led the ghosts back. Hongyi looked a little hesitant.

"Master, there seems to be something unusual in the area ahead... We dare not approach, Master, would you like to go and check it out?"

Gu Shiyi was also obsessed with money, so he jumped up without asking any further questions.
"Where is it? Take us there!"

Seeing Pu Yanlan also stood up, Hongyi hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, she led the two of them forward. After turning a corner, the road started to go straight up, and even a part of the road was almost straight up and down at 90 degrees. Fortunately, they had the escape light to fly. Gu Shiyi was a little puzzled.
"Look at this terrain. Where have we been taken by that zombie? Are we so far from the ground?"

Red shook his head and said,
"Miss Gu, I don't know either, but after I brought the others here, I sensed a very terrifying aura. There must be some very powerful being inside, so the master should be careful..."

"A terrible aura?"

Pu Yanlan frowned.
"What kind of breath?"

Hongyi thought for a moment and replied,
"Master, that aura is somewhat similar to the demon in front, but... it's also somewhat different..."

What do you mean?
Are there still demons here?

Gu Shiyi was immediately shocked and took out the Heaven-shaking Seal.
"Yan'er, follow me. If there really is a demon, I will lead the charge. No matter what happens, I will go up and hit it first!"

After saying that, he gestured and walked ahead. After passing through a long corridor, a faint red light flashed above his head. The man in red said,
"Master, here we are!"

The two took a few quick steps and looked up, only to find that they were at the bottom of a well-like terrain that went straight up and down. When they looked up, they saw a ball of red light floating above their heads in the distance. The red light was hazy, and there seemed to be something inside it, a black ball. The two could not see what it was with their eyesight. It seemed that there must be something strange about the red light. The two looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Yan'er, I'll fly up and take a look first. You just wait for me below. If there's anything wrong, you take action!"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded,
"Be careful!"

Gu Shiyi held the Heaven-Flipping Seal in his hand and slowly began to fly towards the ball of red light...

Gu Shiyi flew very slowly, holding the Heaven-Flipping Seal tightly in her hand. As she flew, she thought to herself,
"I don't know where this little seal came from. It's a pity that Yan'er and I can't refine it. Otherwise, why would I hold it in my hands and personally fight it..."

If it could be refined, I would have sacrificed it to test its authenticity as soon as I thought about it!

Thinking in his mind, he looked around and saw that there seemed to be traces of chiseling on the four walls of this vertical shaft. Gu Shiyi reached out and wiped away the loose soil on the wall closest to him, revealing the rune-like marks inside.

"what……"

Gu Shiyi carefully identified it. She had no knowledge of runes and could not tell what it was. To be on the safe side, she thought about it and flew back. "What's wrong?"

Pu Yanlan asked nervously,

"I found some runes on the stone wall. They seem to be ancient runes..."

Pu Yanlan knew that Gu Shiyi would get a headache when he read books on talismans, but she herself had read some of them. She immediately took the Heaven-Flipping Seal from Gu Shiyi's hand and

"I'll go and take a look..."

So he flew up and found the rune where Gu Shiyi was staying. He looked at it carefully.

"This is indeed an ancient rune..."

He looked around again, reached out and wiped another spot, and found that the whole wall was covered with runes. He was secretly shocked.
"I can only recognize three or five words of these ancient runes, but I can tell... this is a trap formation... so is it trying to trap something?"

That's not right! Didn't Shao Jiajia say that this was the place where an ancient true spirit Pixiu self-destructed? Why is there an ancient trap array?
What was the ancient trap intended to trap?
That Pixiu?

Well, it is possible. Isn't it said that there are many treasures of ancient sects hidden in its belly? The true spirit is the pet of heaven and earth, so naturally it is unwilling to guard treasures for human sects. It is possible that these ancient traps imprisoned it here. Otherwise, when later generations came to look for treasures, why didn't it escape, but was forced to self-destruct?

Pu Yanlan secretly figured out a possibility in her mind. She first looked up at the red light above her head and found that the red light was very soft. She did not sense the terrible aura that Hong Yi had mentioned. After thinking for a while, she lowered her head and told Gu Shiyi below her her guess. Gu Shiyi tilted his head and thought for a while and said,

"That's possible. Then... what's in this red light?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"Maybe... it's the treasure from that sect?"

Maybe the trap is not only to trap the Pixiu, but also to protect the sect’s treasures?

Otherwise, why, after so many years and with so many monks coming and going, is this red light and the things inside still there?

"Hmm...something makes sense?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and asked Hongyi,
"Is that horrible aura still there?"

Red shook his head,

"No, the servant in front clearly sensed it!"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He felt a little uneasy for no reason, so he also flew up.
"Yan'er, wait for me, let's..."

Pu Yanlan nodded, and suddenly her expression froze. She turned her palm, and a small white pointed horn appeared in her palm. This thing had reacted when they entered this place earlier, and then it stayed in the storage bag obediently without any movement. Now... why did it start to heat up again...

Before she had time to take a closer look, the red light above her head suddenly changed as if it had sensed the small white horn.
"Om..."

A ray of black light suddenly shot out from the red light, and the black light suddenly became stronger, covering the entire shaft...

Gu Shiyi felt his eyes go dark, and when he could see again, Pu Yanlan, who was only ten feet away from his head, had disappeared. At the same time, the red light that was originally floating above the two of them also disappeared.
"Yan'er!"

Gu Shiyi was shocked.

"Yan'er, where are you! Yan'er?"

At this moment, Pu Yanlan also felt that her eyes went dark. When she could see again, she found herself in a strange starry sky. In front of her, behind her, above her, below her, left and right, there was only a vast and empty starry sky. She was floating in the void. She felt a faint heat in her hand. She lowered her head and opened her palm. The little horn she had been holding in her palm suddenly flew up...

"Whoosh..."

Like an arrow shot from a bow, it flew towards the void in the distance. Pu Yanlan didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to move. She just stood there, watching the little white horn turn into a tiny dot, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing!
