Half-life immortal

Chapter 78 The Temple of the Altar, the Purgatory in the Yin Ruins
When they came to the main hall of Zhuhuangbao, Xue Qinglan finally saw the five ghost uncles with their own eyes. According to Zhu Peier, the reason why the five ghost uncles were called "Bo" instead of "King" was because he was originally from Zhu Peier's mother. One of the reasons for the short period of time for taking over the position of king is that he thinks he does not have the status of "king", so he has not been crowned king for a long time. When people from the outside world respect Ishikawa Yinxu, they will respectfully call him king , but generally speaking, he is still mostly called Uncle Wugui.

Uncle Wu Gui looked old, leaning on a cane, hunched over, his face was wrinkled, and his eyes were almost squeezed by wrinkles.He was well-built, wearing a loose gray robe with long sleeves that stretched to the floor, like a living person, except for his dark skin, there was nothing special about him.Xue Qinglan was slightly surprised, she really didn't expect the king of Shichuan to be such an old man, she originally thought that Uncle Wu Gui must be a tall, mighty and strong man!
"Crack!" The wooden crutch in Uncle Wu Gui's hand slammed into the ground hard, making a muffled sound, which echoed in the hall, which was extremely frightening.

Zhu Pei'er trembled in fright, maybe it was because her uncle still had prestige in her young heart, she looked at Uncle Wugui from afar, and she lowered her head like a child who did something wrong.

Uncle Wugui turned a blind eye to the others and said, "Pei'er, have you messed around enough?"

His voice was not loud, but he had an intimidating aura, a kind of power that could kill him.

Zhu Pei'er subconsciously squeezed Xue Qinglan's hand, but at the same time she also realized that she was not alone, so she boldly said to Uncle Wugui: "Uncle, it's my fault for me to sneak out, I admit it. But it's not me The main purpose of coming back, I come back this time is to hope that you will stop embarrassing my friends and release all the immortal cultivators you have captured, right?"

"Friend?" Uncle Wugui squinted his eyes and asked, "Your friend, do you mean those human beings who go back on their promises and are wolf-hearted?"

Xue Qinglan and the others felt a chill all over their bodies, and an inexplicable killing intent pervaded the hall, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.They are not mortals, so naturally they won't be scared to run away, but they all look serious.

When they first came in, the five ghost uncles hadn't shown any intention of killing them, but after Zhu Pei'er said the word "friend", the five ghost uncle's attitude changed suddenly, making Xue Qinglan wonder if there was something wrong with the old man, Zhu Peier What did it matter to him that he thought they were her friends?Why is he so overreacted?Is it unacceptable for Yang Gui to be friends with humans?
Zhu Peier argued: "Uncle, aren't all human beings bad...and what's the point of fighting? Why can't we get along well?"

Uncle Wugui flicked his sleeves and said, "Pei'er, you are still young. How can you tell right from wrong, good from evil? These people are lying to you, but you haven't seen their true colors clearly. Be good, listen to uncle. If not, leave these hypocritical humans."

Xue Qinglan frowned. From her point of view as a master of deception, the initiative of the conversation now completely falls on Uncle Wugui, and Zhu Peier was almost completely taken away by his words. If this continues, she will definitely be misled by him. .

She said: "Five ghost kings, Pei'er is the princess of the Yang ghost, no matter how she looks at us, she will not change her identity, and her will is her choice, how can others easily reverse it? You seem to have forgotten us existence? Our reason for coming is very simple, please let my senior sister Yulian go, and then let us leave the Yin Ruins."

Uncle Wugui finally shifted his eyes away from Zhu Peier and landed on Xue Qinglan. Xue Qinglan suddenly felt the pressure increased, and only then did she understand the difficulty of Zhu Peier's argument with him just now.Sometimes, when the strength or identities of the two parties are too far apart, even simple words will feel great pressure, as if no matter what they say, they will be dwarfed.

This is a very special aura. If it wasn't for Xue Qinglan's keen senses, she might not be able to feel this, so she naturally fell into the opponent's aura and was led by the nose.

However, not only did she not panic, but she smiled confidently. Leaving aside the strength of real guns and actual combat, she only talked about verbal confrontation. Pointing at her nose in front of her and scolding her would not change her face.

She silently kept the Wuxiang scripture running, and raised her vigilance, saying: "Does the king have any opinions on my proposal? Or do you want to use the big to bully the small?"

Uncle Wu Gui snorted, and said: "Little girl has sharp teeth, you are the one who deceived Pei'er with your sweet words, right?"

Xue Qinglan smiled sweetly, feeling like a compliment in her heart, and said: "Pei'er and I hit it off right away, how can we lie? But the king is eloquent now, people can't help but wonder what the king is going to instill in us?"

Xu Shili looked at her back and saw that she was fighting with Uncle Wugui at this moment, she seemed neither humble nor overbearing, and she had the upper hand, so he couldn't help but look at her differently again, as if he didn't expect that a weak woman like her could have such good eloquence and guts.Among the people present, her strength was considered the weakest, but she didn't feel short of breath when she spoke, and even skillfully grasped the rhythm of the conversation, which can be said to be quite amazing.

Out of curiosity about Xue Qinglan, he had inquired into her background before, and he knew that she was an orphan who had never been educated or taught, but her words did not make people feel vulgar, on the contrary, they were very decent.

Of course, at this moment, Xue Qinglan didn't notice the attention of the people next to her at all. Her attention was focused on Uncle Wu Gui. She was as nervous as facing a life-and-death crisis. look away.

Uncle Wu Gui didn't intend to argue with her anymore, so he slammed his wooden crutches on the ground and said, "You begged me to let your companions go, but is this your begging attitude?"

Xue Qinglan said: "Your Majesty is very human, so why would he care about his appearance? Could it be that I kneel down and beg you and you will let him go? If you agree, then it's fine if I kneel down for you."

The so-called men have gold under their knees, but this principle does not apply to Xue Qinglan, she is not a man.If this little energy was used to repay Uncle Wugui's relentlessness, she wouldn't care about suffering this little loss.

Uncle Wu Gui didn't intend to let them go, and even planned to keep them together, but because Zhu Pei'er was standing there, he couldn't do it right away, so he wasted time here, but since Zhu Pei'er didn't know people clearly, he Not planning to talk nonsense with these dying people anymore, said: "Okay, the person you want is in Sitan Hall, but you must leave Pei'er now, otherwise the old man cannot guarantee that the woman will have the life to see her." you."

This is the real threat, Xue Qinglan still said the same: "Pei'er is not bound by us, if she wants to stay, we will respect her idea."

Zhu Pei'er nodded to her and said, "Sister, then I'll stay for now, and I will continue to persuade uncle."

Xue Qinglan smiled and smoothed her curly hair around her ears, and said, "Okay then, you have to be careful."

Feng Yutian reminded in a low voice: "Is this okay?"

Xue Qinglan also replied in a low voice: "We have no other choice. We will see Senior Sister Yulian first. I hope she is safe and sound."

Zhu Pei'er thought for a while, and handed the little wolf that she had been holding to Xue Qinglan, and said, "The little wolf has a natal contract with me. Elder sister, you take the little wolf first. Uncle won't dare to hurt it."

The little wolf was just treated as a talisman and handed over to Xue Qinglan, howling with some grievances, as if he was very reluctant to part with his master.Not long after it was born, it became Zhu Peier's contracted spirit beast, and it has never been separated from her. Even if it is only separated for a moment, it still shows a strong attachment.

Fortunately, it was given to Xue Qinglan. This pervert also has a good impression of Xue Qinglan, so even though he was reluctant to part with his master, he didn't object too much.It is very smart, knowing that it has a heavy responsibility, it jumped from Zhu Pei'er's hand into Xue Qinglan's arms on its own initiative.

Xue Qinglan hugged the little wolf tenderly, stroked its soft fur, accepted Zhu Peier's kindness, and said, "Okay, I understand. I will take it well."

After making arrangements, Yang Gui, who had led the way for them before, continued to lead them to Sitan Hall, only Zhu Pei'er stayed for now.

The ancient city of Juling is very big. If you don't lead the way, you really don't know where the legendary Sitan Palace is. With twists and turns, Xue Qinglan suspected that this guy had other schemes several times.

"Aww!" Little Wolf suddenly yelled cheerfully at Xue Qinglan, shaking his head and tail.

Although the little wolf was about the same size as a puppy, it was still quite heavy. Xue Qinglan couldn't ignore it while holding it. She smiled at it and said, "What's wrong?"

The little wolf is very smart, so he must be trying to convey something, but unfortunately Xue Qinglan has no contract with the little wolf, and he can't understand wolf language, so he can only guess based on body movements.

The little wolf shook his head up and down, raised his hind paws and pointed at his neck, as if pointing something.It has a thick layer of off-white fluff, which is soft to the touch. Is there something hidden under the fur?

Xue Qinglan fiddled with the little wolf's hair suspiciously, and sure enough, she found a small pendant around its neck. After careful inspection, it was easy to untie it.

The pendant is a rhombus-shaped pink crystal, and the chain is a transparent string. It doesn't feel heavy in the hand, but the crystal pendant is shining brightly, and there is a faint power that Xue Qinglan can't see through it, which shows that it is not an ordinary thing.

Holding the crystal pendant, she asked, "Little Wolf, is this for me?"

The little wolf nodded in a very humane way, and howled.Since this thing is on it, it must not be born with it, it must be Zhu Peier's, but I don't know if it is a treasure that Zhu Peier gave to the little wolf for protection, or Zhu Peier hid it on the little wolf and asked it to bring it to Xue Qinglan?If it's the former, then it means that the little wolf is really a good wolf who values ​​love and righteousness; if it's the latter, why doesn't Zhu Pei'er give it to her in an open and honest manner, instead of using such a twisted method?

She had doubts in her heart, but she believed that neither Zhu Pei'er nor Xiaolang would harm her, so she didn't ask any more questions, and put the crystal pendant close to her body.She spoke to the little wolf in a very low voice, and her movements were very small. Others thought she was teasing the little wolf, but they didn't care.

After bypassing most of the ancient giant spirit city, the Yang ghost who led the way finally brought them to Sitan hall.

The difference from Zhuhuangbao is that this Sitan Hall goes deep into the ground. After entering through the narrow gate at the entrance, there is a slender dark path with no bottom. I don't know how deep it is.

Yang ghosts are naturally not afraid of darkness, they are born to live in darkness, and sunlight is their poison instead.But it is not the case for Xue Qinglan and others. There is only silver moonlight in this Yin Ruin, which is already very dark. This path goes deep into the ground, and the moonlight can't shine on it. You can't even see the glowing fireflies on the ground. , It was pitch black.

They used their respective methods at the same time, and their eyes suddenly became slightly brighter, but after all, it was not as good as the Sunshine Land, so it was better to be careful.

The path was winding and twisty, and there were many forks in the middle. The Yang ghost who led the way led the way without looking sideways, without explaining where the other roads lead to.But just as they guessed before, the main passage in the ancient city of giant spirits should be underground, and Yang Gui just didn't want them to discover the underground route, so he took them to take a long way from the ground.For this point, let alone they are not sure, even if they know it, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Xue Qinglan gradually felt the surrounding temperature rise, and she was sweating faintly on her head. She said in a low voice, "It seems a little hot... Could it be connected to the underground magma?"

She just said casually, but she didn't want the Yang Gui who was leading the way to glance at her. She didn't speak, but her expression clearly confirmed her guess.

She was slightly depressed, thinking that it really leads to underground magma?Could it be that a small Yin Ruin wants to engage in purgatory like Hades?
No, if the Sitan Palace was really in the magma, wouldn't they also imprison Senior Sister Yulian in the magma?God, if a person falls into the magma, won't he be burned to ashes?
She blushed inwardly, thinking that she must have been worrying too much, since Uncle Wugui said that Senior Sister Yulian was here, there should be at least some bones left, right?Bah, no, no, it should be intact!How could he play word games to deceive them with his status as Wu Guibo?
Going further down, you can hear sounds similar to howling ghosts and wolves along the road, mixed with human screams, which is extremely terrifying.I don't even know where this place is...

Liang Boshan couldn't bear such a voice, so he said in a low voice, "This is the place where the Yang ghosts imprison people? Why do they make hellish noises? It's really ugly."

Zhao Yunhu and he are both disciples of Tianquan Peak, and they have a closer relationship, and said: "Be patient, the habits of Yang ghosts are different from ours after all. We are here to rescue Junior Sister Yulian, so don't get upset by other things. conflict."

Liang Boxan seemed very dissatisfied with Yang Gui, but he didn't dare to show it to the fullest, he just hummed: "I understand."

Xu Shili speeded up a little, approached Xue Qinglan, and said with concern: "Junior Sister Xue, the temperature here is getting hotter, are you okay?"
