 "Ghost, wake up!"

Zhang Xiaozu woke up the ghosts while running towards Guowei Mansion.

To deal with ghosts, ghosts are better than him.

It's getting dark.

But it was already dark in the Guowei Mansion, which had lush trees and a spooky atmosphere.

There are no tall trees in Yueyang Garden, so the light is slightly brighter, but the wing room is completely dark.

The second wing to the east is the room where Zhou Jianlai slept.

At this moment, two people were standing in the darkness.

One is Zhou Jianlai. He is standing beside the bed and woke up from his sleep.

The box of ten thousand swords stood at the head of the bed, and his hand was holding the hilt of the sword.

One-third of the black and white double-edged sword of light has been drawn out of the sword case.

The sword has not yet been drawn, and the killing intention only lasts for a moment.

There was another person standing at the door of the wing.

Wearing a tight-fitting black brocade suit, there is a dark gray wolf head mask on his face.

Under the wolf-head mask, a pair of cold and bright eyes stared at Zhou Jianlai without blinking.

He was holding a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Zhou Jianlai. The sharp blade was breathing cold light in the darkness, and at the same time, it was breathing cold murderous intent.

It was his sudden intrusion that woke up Zhou Jianlai.

He came to kill Zhou Jian.

He thought that Zhou Jianlai had lost all his cultivation and could kill him effortlessly, but the moment he drew his sword, Zhou Jianlai's hand that drew the sword suddenly made his heart palpitate violently.

He stopped suddenly and stared at Zhou Jianlai's sword-drawing hand in disbelief, wondering whether his intelligence was wrong and whether Zhou Jianlai had not lost his cultivation at all. Otherwise, why would the sword in his hand be so dangerous?

He even felt the threat of death, as if Zhou Jianlai could cut off his neck if he unsheathed his sword.

However, when he saw Zhou Jianlai stop drawing his sword and confront him in a stalemate without saying a word, he seemed to understand that Zhou Jianlai's sword should not be easily drawn, otherwise there would be no reason to stop with three points of the sword.

He felt Zhou Jianlai's aura carefully, and was very sure that Zhou Jianlai's cultivation was indeed useless, but he still had the power of a sword.

He guessed that this sword was most likely a unique move sealed by an expert, and it was extremely powerful.

However, if he could block or dodge this sword, Zhou Jianlai would become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Reason told him not to take risks, but he was unwilling to do so because this was an excellent opportunity to kill Zhou Jianlai. If he missed this opportunity, it would be even harder to kill him again.

His inference was correct, Zhou Jianlai did have the power of a sword.

Zhou Jianlai stopped drawing his sword, not because he didn't want to kill people, but because he was reluctant to use the sword.

"Who are you?!" Zhang Xiaozu's shout broke the confrontation in the room.

The masked man exited the wing in one step and fled to the northeast.

"Where to go!" Zhang Xiaopou shouted, slashing out the bone knife, and the shadow of the knife in the sky shrouded the masked man.

The masked man turned around and struck out with his sword, breaking Zhang Xiaopou's move. He used the force of the counterattack to instantly distance himself, and then disappeared from Zhang Xiaopou's sight.

Zhang Xiaozhu was worried that he would fall into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he did not dare to pursue him. Otherwise, with his speed and Ru Wei's state of mind, it would not be easy to escape from his pursuit.

Zhou Jianlai walked out of the wing carrying the Wanjian Box.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?" Zhang Xiaozhu jumped up to Zhou Jianlai and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Zhou Jianlai shook his head.

"Who is that person? What do you want? To grab the sword?" Zhang Xiaozu asked continuously.

"He is wearing a mask, so I can't tell his identity. I can feel that his murderous intention is very strong. It seems that he came specifically to kill me, but it cannot be ruled out that he wants to kill first and then seize the sword." Zhou Jianlai replied.

Zhang Xiaozhu frowned and said: "This person is also wary of my subtle state of mind, and uses the true energy to cover his face under the mask. Otherwise, a mask alone cannot block my observation of the subtle state of mind."

"It shows that this person knows us very well." Zhou Jianlai said.

Zhang Xiaozu nodded, but there was no time for further discussion at the moment. There was no sign of Niu Dawa and Yuan Taiping within the coverage area of ​​his subtle state of mind. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Dawa and Laosi have never come back."

He only saw the footprints of Niu Dawa and Yuan Taiping leaving Yueyang Garden and heading towards the depths of the mansion, but did not see the footprints of the two of them returning to Yueyang Garden.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jianlai noticed that Zhang Xiaopou's expression was not right.

"The old man who opened the door and led the way for us might be a ghost." Zhang Xiaozu lowered his voice and whispered in Zhou Jianlai's ear.

Zhou Jianlai looked shocked.

"Let's go find Da Wa and Lao Si." Zhang Xiaopou said.

"good."

Finding Niu Dawa and Yuan Taiping is easy. After leaving Yueyang Garden, the ground is covered with dead branches and leaves and dust. The two left clear footprints along the way. You only need to follow the footprints to find them.

The two seemed to have a great time exploring the treasure hunt, leaving footprints in one courtyard after another.

Woo——

Zhang Xiaozu and Zhou Jianlai were walking when suddenly a dark wind started blowing from the ground, and then the light suddenly became dark, and they couldn't see their fingers in front of their eyes.

"Dharma Eyes, open!"

Zhang Xiaozu let out a soft drink, and his Tao power surged into his pupils, and two golden lights burst out from his eyes.

At the same time, he pinched the curse seal with his hand, and talismans with golden light flew out from his palms, swirling around Zhou Jianlai's body, protecting Zhou Jianlai.

"Brother Zhou, let me enlighten you."

"good."

Zhang Xiaozu recited the mantra, pointed his two fingers together to form a sword, and rubbed it on Zhou Jianlai's eyes.

The two opened their Dharma eyes, and the darkness was immediately broken.

But it was already dark, so there was only a faint light in front of me.

"break!"

Zhang Xiaozu stamped his feet on the ground, and a round of circular talismans spread out under his feet, and then spread out in all directions.

The dark wind that was rising from the ground suddenly stopped.

Tap tap tap——

Footsteps suddenly sounded all around.

I saw soldiers wearing the armor of the former dynasty walking out of the darkness and surrounding Zhang Xiaopou and Zhou Jianlai.

The armor of these soldiers was still stained with uncoagulated blood, as if they had just experienced a battle, but underneath the armor were not living human flesh, but withered bones.

Seeing the murderous monsters surrounding them, Zhou Jianlai carried the Wanjian Box on his back and prepared for battle. However, he did not draw his sword in a hurry, but asked Zhang Xiaopou: "Can you solve it by yourself?"

"No big deal." Zhang Xiaozu responded.

After saying that, he stepped forward and said: "Let's keep going forward."

"Okay." Zhou Jianlai stepped forward to follow.

The skeleton soldier seemed to be angered by Zhang Xiaopou's contempt, and raised the bloody sword in his hand to attack the two men.

Zhang Xiaopou kept walking, raising and slashing the bone knife, and slashed forward with a sword energy condensed from pure Tao power.

Chi chi chi chi——

I saw that as soon as the skeletal soldier was touched by the golden sword energy, he was immediately burned into blue smoke by the power, and it dissipated without even having time to hum.

A pungent and unpleasant smell suddenly filled the air.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaozu made a secret with his left hand, recited a mantra in his mouth, yelled "Urgent like a law", slapped three palms to the left, right and behind him, and saw three Tiangang talismans flying out.

The Tiangang Talisman grew in the wind, and suddenly it transformed into three golden-armored warriors more than one foot tall. They raised the Yanyue Sword in their hands, opened their mouths with a thunderous roar, and fought with the withered soldiers who rushed towards them.

The Yanyue Sword chopped down, and the withered soldiers were like paper, being destroyed by the three golden-armored generals.

"Awesome, awesome!" Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but praise Zhang Xiaopou's magical abilities when he saw it. This was the first time he saw Zhang Xiaopou fighting with Taoist magical powers so seriously.

Zhang Xiaozu neither used the power of the ghost eyes nor the five-color Hunyuan power. He wanted to use his own way to meet the powerful ghosts of this country's majestic mansion.

The Taoist skills taught to him by Taoist Tianwu have long been practiced by him on the Shomen Beach. He can master talismans, magic formulas, spells, Tiangang seals, and other magical powers at his fingertips.

The withered soldiers couldn't stop Zhang Xiaoping at all. The victory lies in their numbers. They are not afraid of death and go forward one after another.

"How come there are so many ghosts of former soldiers gathered here?" Zhou Jianlai asked in surprise.

"Guowei Mansion was originally called Qingyuan Palace, and it was the tyrant of the previous dynasty——" Zhang Xiaozu swung his sword to kill the skeletal soldiers blocking the way, while briefly telling Zhou Jianlai the past of Qingyuan Palace.

One thing makes Zhang Xiaozhu feel strange. According to what Su Jin said, the ghosts of Guowei Mansion have been transcended by experts, so why are there still so many evil ghosts?

The two of them walked away with doubts. After passing four courtyards and two palaces, the skeletal soldiers finally dispersed.

Zhang Xiaozu and Zhou Jianlai stopped.

In front of them was a huge open field, a bit like a training ground for soldiers, but it was now overgrown with weeds half as tall as a man.

At the end of Zhang Xiaozu and Zhou Jianlai's field of vision, black clouds rolled, and groups of armored cavalry galloped out of the black clouds, charging straight towards the two of them with the force of a battlefield charge.

The cavalry charged and the earth trembled.

Unfortunately, standing opposite them were two battle-hardened tiger generals. They were not afraid of being charged by thousands of horses, so how could they be afraid of being charged by hundreds of cavalry?

"Brother Zhou, let's rush over." Zhang Xiaopou shouted deeply, ran forward, and rushed forward.

Zhou Jianlai followed closely.

Zhang Xiaopou's Taoist skills were so good that these cavalrymen were no match for him. They were torn open by him as soon as they met.

He didn't want to fight, and took care of Zhou Jianlai and rushed forward quickly.

The two of them rushed through the martial arts arena and stepped into a sycamore forest in front of them. The armored cavalry seemed to know that the woods were not conducive to cavalry combat, so they did not catch up.

The two of them moved forward cautiously, passing through a sycamore forest and passing a large garden. A lake appeared in front of them.

Under the night, the breeze blows, and white ripples appear on the lake surface.

The footprints of Niu Dawa and Yuan Taiping disappeared by the lake and appeared on the island in the center of the lake.

Zhang Xiaozu saw the footprints of the two people walking into the palace on the island, and going further was beyond the scope of Ruwei's state of mind.

"There is an island in the center of the lake, and there is a palace on the island. The two of them went in." Zhang Xiaozu told Zhou Jianlai what he saw.

Zhou Jianlai stared at the white lake and his face turned a little pale.

He suddenly regretted opening his Dharma eyes, because if he hadn't opened them, he might not have been able to see the tragic scene under the lake.

Under the bright white lake surface, there were actually grey-white corpses of women, layer upon layer, rippling along with the ripples on the lake surface.

This was the case everywhere Zhou Jianlai looked, and he couldn't imagine how many women's corpses were lying in the lake in front of him.

Hell on earth is probably nothing more than this.

"Damn it!" Zhou Jianlai gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

He was filled with anger, but he could not curse loudly because the tyrant was his master's father.

"Let's go there." Zhang Xiaozu grabbed Zhou Jianlai's shoulder, walked on the waves, and ran towards the island in the middle of the lake.

"ah--"

When the two people ran to the center of the lake, the silence was suddenly broken by screams.

The female corpses under the lake surfaced, dragging their broken bodies and screaming, as if telling Zhang Xiaozu and Zhou Jianlai about the inhuman abuse they suffered during their lifetimes.

"ah--"

Zhou Jianlai suddenly roared angrily, and his eyes became bloodshot and red, like a mad beast.

The same anger filled Zhang Xiaopou's chest. After hearing the tragic stories of these female corpses, he wished he could kill the tyrant and the beasts who had abused them to avenge them.

He suddenly pushed Zhou Jianlai away, raised his bone knife and struck at Zhou Jianlai.
