In the quiet mountains, there are no insects or birds. There are only pitch-black trees and black flowers and plants swaying in the wind. The whole world seems to have no color at all, only endless darkness as far as the eye can see.
For several months, Chen Feng traveled southward, passing through high mountains one after another, crossing one river after another, heading towards the legendary holy mountain, and countless resentful spirits and ghosts were exterminated in his hands.
In the mountains, three figures broke the silence of the forest, walking quickly on the young black grass, making a rustling sound.
"Sir, take a rest, I'm a little tired!" The voice came from behind. Kuo Chong's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with a layer of rare tissue. He stretched out his hand to wipe it and said weakly.
Stopping, Chen Feng looked back and saw Kuo Chong looking like this, with a sad look on his face and nodded.
Since entering Youcheng, Kuo Chong's physical strength has become weaker day by day. Now, every half a day of walking, he has to stop and rest, and his appearance is getting older.
"Dongzi, how far is it from the Holy Mountain?" Chen Feng randomly found an ancient tree, sat down cross-legged, and turned to the middle-aged man beside him and said.
This middle-aged man was none other than the resentful spirit who told Chen Feng about the origin of You City.
"Back to the young master, we are only half a month away from the Holy Mountain, but after leaving these mountains, I'm afraid the next road will not be so easy!" The middle-aged man named Dongzi thought seriously.
After thinking for a while, he spoke.
He nodded and said nothing. During this period, Chen Feng had already gained a deep understanding of Youcheng. Although this area has the word "city" in its name, its vastness is not weaker than that of other major areas, and it is also Youcheng.
There are many resentful spirits gathered in the city. These resentful spirits are cruel and bloodthirsty. If it weren't for Chen Fengxiu, I'm afraid the three of them would have become the dead souls in their hands.
"Sir, where did the dark spots on your body spread to?" After an unknown period of time, Kuo Chong, who had rested for a while and gained some energy, suddenly asked.
Chen Feng was startled and said, "Now both hands and feet have turned black, how about you?" As he spoke, Chen Feng raised his palms and looked at them, only to see that Chen Feng's originally white palms were now completely black.
, as if soaked in ink.
"Me?" Kuochong smiled bitterly, and then said with some melancholy: "The black spots on my body are now all over my body. I believe that if we continue at this rate, if we can't find the Soul-Returning Flag within another month, I'm afraid...
"
Speaking of this, Kuo Chong stopped talking, but the look on his face was indescribably lonely.
Chen Feng sighed softly and looked at the area of Kuo Chong's neck that was not covered by clothes. There was already a faint black color, and he felt confused in his heart.
Although both of them were disturbed by dark spots, somehow, the dark spots on Chen Feng spread extremely slowly, and he did not feel tired as often as Kuo Chong. It can be said that at this time, Chen Feng was still suffering from dark spots.
Accidents continue to spread, and everything else is no different from usual.
"Don't worry, we will find the Soul-Returning Flag, trust me!" Chen Feng smiled and comforted.
"Expect it!"
Kuo Chong opened his mouth and forced out a smile, but the smile was mixed with deep helplessness. Because he also knew that once they got out of this forest, they would soon face the most elite people in Youcheng.
The troops and these resentful spirits are by no means comparable to the chickens and dogs from before. Therefore, I am afraid that even if a few people can really break through the siege, they may not be able to reach the Holy Mountain within a month.
The air became a little depressing, and the gentle breeze around them blew the faint fragrance of flowers, lingering on the tips of the three people's noses.
As if he wanted to break the suffocating silence, Kuo Chong stood up with his hands on his knees and said to Chen Feng: "Sir, let's go. If you can save some time, let's have more time. This damn place
, I’ve really had enough of staying.”
Chen Feng smiled, nodded, and stood up, and the three of them continued walking deep into the dense forest.
There was no conversation all the way. In the early morning of the next day, a ray of sunshine pushed through the morning fog, and golden dots fell from the sky, shining in the black dense forest, finally giving the unchanging black forest a little golden color.
On the top of the mountain, Chen Feng stood next to an ancient tree. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked far into the distance. Within Chen Feng's field of vision, a huge ancient city appeared in front of the three of them.
"Dongzi, is that the Youcheng Iron Guard you mentioned?" Chen Feng asked, looking at the leisurely ancient city in the sky.
"Well, sir, where is the Iron Guard Mansion in Youcheng. As long as we pass through the Iron Guard Mansion and then pass through Youdu, we can reach the Holy Mountain!" Dongzi nodded affirmatively, looking a little worried.
Chen Feng glanced at Dongzi, and naturally he knew what Dongzi was worried about. Youcheng Iron Guard Mansion and Youdu are the holy places in the hearts of the resentful spirits in the entire Youcheng. They are full of powerful resentful spirits. It can be said that the entire Youcheng
All the elites are stationed here, and it would be difficult for just three of them to pass.
"Dongzi, I have troubled you during this time. Since you are already here, you can go back!" Chen Feng looked back silently, his eyes focused on the distance again, and said calmly.
Dongzi was slightly startled. Ever since he followed Chen Feng, he had never thought that Chen Feng would let him go. Now that he heard that he didn't have to take risks, he was naturally ecstatic and thanked him repeatedly. But just when Dongzi turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly
Suddenly he stopped and seemed to hesitate.
"Young Master..." After a long silence, Dongzi finally spoke.
"Huh?" Chen Feng heard the voice and looked back in confusion, only to see that Dongzi's face was extremely complicated, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Chen Feng smiled and said.
"Young Master..." Dongzi was still very hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare. Chen Feng smiled lightly and did not ask.
"Sir, if you can really enter the Holy Mountain and find the Soul-Returning Flag, can you take me out of here and return to the human world?"
Um? Chen Feng was stunned by Dongzi's words, but before Chen Feng could speak, Dongzi continued.
"Young Master, you also know that the reason why we resentful spirits stay here is because we are too obsessed with the mortal world, so... So I want to ask the Young Master for help and take me away from here!"
Chen Feng suddenly realized, yes, the main reason why Youcheng exists is that these resentful spirits are nostalgic for the world, and their biggest wish is that one day they can return to the place where they lived before and complete their unfinished business.
wish.
"Dongzi, there are many thorns on our way to the Holy Mountain. Even I can't guarantee that I will be able to get the soul-returning flag. But don't worry, as long as I get the soul-returning flag, I will go to the hut to find you, and then take you out of the hut.
City, return to the inner domain!”
After a long silence, Chen Feng said solemnly. Dongzi was overjoyed, and immediately ###Chen Feng again, turned around and left, and quickly disappeared into the black forest.
Looking at Dongzi's leaving figure, Chen Feng sighed softly. In fact, although these resentful spirits have obsessions in their hearts, they are mostly pitiful people. If possible, he would try his best to help them.
"Sir, let's go!" Kuo Chong watched Dongzi drive away in silence, with no expression on his face. He had been silent for a long time since he got the black spots on his body.
"Well, let's go!" Chen Feng nodded, his expression straightened, and he immediately took steps and walked quickly towards the Iron Guard Mansion in Youdu.
Youcheng Iron Guard Mansion is located to the north of the Holy Mountain and covers a vast area. The entire ancient city gathers countless resentful spirits. It is the holy place worshiped by all the resentful spirits in Youcheng and is also the penultimate level of guarding the Holy Mountain.
As we walked, the majestic and majestic Youcheng Iron Guard Mansion kept magnifying in front of our eyes. The huge city walls, the ancient gates, and the powerful black plaques all illustrate the antiquity and desolation of the Youcheng Iron Guard Mansion.
In the sunshine, Chen Feng stopped in front of the huge city gate. He looked at the neat bluestone roads in the city through the city gate. He sighed in his heart. He was getting closer. The holy mountain was getting closer to him, while the Randen Emperor stayed in Guanyin.
The secrets in the tomb are getting closer and closer to me.
In the noisy streets, people are coming and going, and the flow is endless. It can be said that there is a bustle of people. Here, the resentful spirits still maintain the appearance of human beings, talk to each other, laugh with each other, live a quiet life, and live a life no different from ordinary people. In fact, here
It is a world, a world that belongs to the resentful spirit itself.
His feet stepped on the hard bluestone road, and the hard touch of bluestone came under his feet. Chen Feng stopped and looked around the city. He found that the whole city was full of pavilions and ancient atmosphere. If he hadn't known it before,
Those who live here are not human beings, and they will definitely think that they are back in the market.
However, when Chen Feng appeared in the Iron Guard Mansion in Youcheng, all the resentful spirits on the street suddenly stopped. The crowds coming and going on the street seemed to sense something and looked towards Chen Feng at the same time.
, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and soon this doubt turned into a deep enthusiasm...
"Humans...human beings?" I don't know who asked in the crowd in shock, and then the whole street boiled. A pair of black and white eyes suddenly turned red, and the seemingly ordinary faces were quickly distorted.
Transformed into ghastly and terrifying faces.
Chen Feng has obviously experienced too many similar things in the past few months, and now he is not too panicked. Chen Feng shrugged, with a wry smile on his face, turned to look at Kuo and said calmly: "It seems that we are still
Very popular!”
Kuo Chong shook his head helplessly and was speechless at Chen Feng's cold joke. However, the resentful spirits on the street didn't think so. After hearing Chen Feng's words, these resentful spirits laughed bloodthirstyly, as if Chen Feng had turned into a human in an instant.
A pile of feces, and they turned into countless flies, turned into countless black shadows, and rushed towards Chen Feng crazily.
Chen Feng chuckled silently, looking at hundreds of black shadows. A fierce light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes. Then he waved one hand, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the Bodhi Mountain Seal surged out...
