At the same time, in a side hall of the Xu Family Fort, the head of the Xu family and several elders were gathering here, discussing something.
"Brother, will Liu Shang only take Xu Ye with him this time? Will there be any accidents? You must know that those two ghosts are very powerful. If anything happens to this person, the Taiqing Sect will investigate
Come down..." Xu Kaiyang said to the skinny old man with some worry.
"This... probably not! Since this person is so conceited, he must have some means. What's more, Xu Ye is cautious by nature, and his five-star shield's defense ability is quite good. Even if he is defeated by ghosts, he should be able to defeat all monsters.
And retreated." The skinny old man touched his beard and said slowly.
Perhaps this person's comforting words had an effect. The expressions of several other elders present softened, and it was obvious that they had had this concern before.
The skinny old man smiled bitterly in his heart. Why wasn't he worried about this?
He had scanned it with his spiritual consciousness before and found that Liu Ming, like him, was only at the middle stage of liquid condensation.
However, Liu Ming insisted on this, and it was not easy for him to disobey him. It would be very bad if he offended this person.
"Kaiyang, tell us to go down and activate all the prohibition formations in Xujiabao. In addition, release all the red-eyed eagles and pay close attention to the movements in the mining area. If there is an emergency, we cannot ignore Fellow Daoist Liu and must rush over immediately." The skinny old man
After thinking for a while, he said to the head of the Xu family...
"This is a safe move." Xu Kaiyang readily agreed and immediately gave the order.
…
Just when everyone in the Xu family was worried, Liu Ming and his two men had arrived at the Xujiamai Mine in the eastern part of Cangman Mountain.
The vein mine here is located in a canyon, and the surrounding mountains are full of mining excavation traces. Everywhere you look, there are some damaged wood and rocks on the ground.
After walking in the canyon for about a while, the two came to a mine several feet in size.
Some thick logs were casually propped up at the entrance of the mine. Looking into the cave, it was dark inside and seemed to lead faintly to the depths of the underground.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, those two ghosts are hidden deep in this mine." Xu Ye, dressed as a scholar, glanced at the depths of the dark cave and his eyes twitched.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard this and stepped into the cave.
"Those two ghosts are elusive, so fellow Taoists must be careful." The middle-aged Confucian scholar hesitated for a moment, then warned.
"It doesn't matter, I know it well." Liu Ming looked back at this person. After smiling slightly, he walked in first.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar gritted his teeth, clasped a small shield in his hand, and followed quickly.
The entire mine passage is winding and rugged, extending diagonally underground.
There is a fluorescent stone inlaid at every short distance on the passage, so the light here is not too dim. However, both of them are monks in the condensation stage. Even in the dark, they can identify the way with the release of their spiritual consciousness.
The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour and had already gone dozens of feet underground.
"There is a lot of cold air in the mines here. They should be mining ores with a negative attribute, right?" Liu Ming glanced around with his consciousness as he walked, and faintly felt a trace of Yin in the air here.
Evil spirit. Immediately asked lightly.
"Fellow Taoist Mingjian, a Yinmo vein mine was recently discovered deep in the mine. It was originally being mined before the incident." The middle-aged Confucian scholar seemed a little nervous, and he kept exploring around him with his spiritual consciousness, and replied.
.
"I see. No wonder those two ghosts are entrenched in the depths of the mine." Liu Ming smiled slightly, glanced into the darkness ahead, and reached out to pat the stone wall beside him.
The two walked for a while, and a three-way road appeared at the end of the passage ahead.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged Confucian scholar, the two walked to the right. After turning a few turns, the cave ceiling, which was originally several feet high, gradually became only more than ten feet high, and the surrounding Yin Qi suddenly became much thicker.
"This place has entered the activity range of the two ghosts." The middle-aged scholar reminded him, and at the same time he turned over his hand and took out another emerald green talisman.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Liu Ming beside him suddenly moved. Then his shoulders suddenly tightened, and his entire body swept several feet back from the ground.
At the same time, a dark wind howled past in front of us!
A dark ghost hand appeared quietly at an unknown moment and almost brushed past his body.
A "chi" sound came!
The ghost hand pulled out five black lines in the void, and the nearby wall looked like tofu, and five scratches several feet deep were pulled out at once.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
Only then did the Confucian scholar react and thanked him repeatedly, but his face was already pale and his back was covered with cold sweat.
If Liu Ming hadn't given him a hand, he might have been killed by this blow without protection.
Liu Ming seemed unaware of this and looked ahead with a stern expression.
In the passage ahead, a thick black mist appeared at some point. In the black mist, a tall and fuzzy black figure with a pair of big blood-red eyes looked particularly eye-catching, staring at Liu Ming and the two.
"Ghost!"
As soon as the Confucian scholar saw the ghost in the black air, he immediately shouted with a heavy heart. He hurriedly crushed the talisman in his hand, and a green egg-shaped light shield emerged from his body. At the same time, he chanted the magic formula in his mouth,
The small shield in his hand suddenly swelled several times, floated up, and stood in front of him.
Without saying a word, Liu Ming raised one hand, and several feet of Xuchang dark green wind blades shot out with a sound of breaking through the air. At the same time, the sleeve of his other hand shook, and a small red sword appeared in his hand.
The ghost figure shook slightly, and the black mist rolled down in front of him, condensing into a black wall of air in the blink of an eye.
The wind blade flew into it, like a mud cow flying into the sea, without making any sound.
With a "boom", the black wall of energy exploded on its own, turning into billowing black mist and rolling towards where Liu Ming and the others were.
When Liu Ming saw this, he flicked his wrist, and after the small red sword trembled slightly, a dazzling red sword light suddenly erupted from the tip of the sword.
"go!"
He shouted low, and a red sword light three to four feet long shot out from the small sword in an instant. It pierced through the black mist like a rainbow piercing the sun.
A "whoosh" sound.
The red sword light pierced through the mist without any pause, and went straight to slash the ghost figure behind.
The ghost's blood-red eyes seemed to show a bit of fear, and he suddenly exhaled a few mouthfuls of thick black air, temporarily resisting the red sword light, and immediately turned into a black wind and flew backwards.
The sword light and black energy entangled and intertwined for a while, and finally collapsed and disappeared in a flash.
Liu Ming frowned slightly when he saw this, but did not pursue him.
As a result, the ghost shadow had just escaped more than ten feet when the cave wall on one side suddenly burst open, and at the same time, dense green threads were ejected, turning into a large net and covering the ghost shadow.
The ghost was caught off guard, and being in a narrow mine, there was no way to avoid it. He could only scream and use the black mist around him to wrap himself in, to directly attack him.
There was a "pop" sound.
The big green net flashed away, and the ghost figure, along with the black energy surrounding it, were all trapped in the net.
A burst of strange laughter came from the stone wall, and a black light flashed, and something like a round head flew out from it.
Astonishingly, it was none other than the demon named Feitou!
It turned out that after Liu Ming entered the mine, he had secretly released the Flying Skull and the Bone Scorpion with a seemingly random slap on the cave wall, and they were lurking around like a shadow along the way.
But with these two helpers in the late stage of liquid condensation, he will not be afraid of the two ghosts in his heart at all.
Hearing the strange cry of the flying head, Liu Ming smiled slightly and was about to fly over. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and his figure blurred and disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, another group of black mist suddenly flashed behind him and passed through its afterimage.
"Be careful, Fellow Daoist Liu, this is another ghost!"
The previous series of changes were like a falcon rising and falling, and it took the middle-aged scholar to react. When he saw Liu Ming barely avoiding another ghost's sneak attack, he couldn't help but blurted out in shock, and then waved one hand,
A silver pointed awl appeared.
But before the Xu family elder could release the spiritual weapon, Liu Ming flicked his wrist seemingly casually, and the dense sword shadows appeared in a flash, and then turned into a roll like a mountain.
As the red sword shadow flashed, a howl was heard from the black mist, and the sound was full of pain.
An earth-shaking loud noise!
Countless red lights burst out from the black mist and tore it apart, revealing the form of the ghost inside.
I saw that this ghost had a green face and fangs, a pair of red eyes like copper bells, its body was covered with fine stubby hair, and its five fingers on its hands and feet were like hooks, like eagle claws.
"It turns out to be a green-faced ghost." Liu Ming glanced over and muttered to himself.
There were scars all over this ghost's body. It was obvious that he had been injured by a blow just now, but no blood flowed out from the wounds, and only wisps of black energy continued to emit from the wounds.
The green-faced ghost stared at Liu Ming in front of him with a pair of big eyes, with a hint of fear in his expression. He suddenly turned around and tried to escape deeper into the cave.
But at this moment, under the ground where it was standing, there was a sudden flash of purple light, and a pair of giant turtles burst out of the ground in an instant, clamping the ghost's bare feet like lightning.
The green-faced ghost turned pale with fright. After roaring loudly, his legs struggled desperately. At the same time, a pair of ferocious claws turned into a claw shadow and clawed down on the giant turtle.
But after a muffled sound of "bang" "bang", the silver giant turtle didn't move at all, not even leaving a trace on its surface.
The next moment, a wisp of black-purple mist appeared on the giant turtle. Once it touched the feet, their skin and flesh quickly festered and shriveled.
The green-faced ghost immediately let out a shrill scream, black energy rolled down from its body, its claws doubled in size, and it made a sound of breaking through the air as it attacked the giant turtle even more frantically, but it still had no effect at all.
At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound.
A blurry crystal shadow instantly ejected from the ground behind the ghost. It was just a blur and passed through the back of its head.
