"Fellow Daoist Kong should have heard that about a hundred years ago, this ghost island was occupied by a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator who joined the Merchant Alliance. Later, for some unknown reason, the ghost cultivator became so powerful that except for some mortals who went out to sea to fish,
All the mortal cultivators who existed on the island at that time were slaughtered. Later, the ghost cultivator was killed by several Yuanying old monsters together. The island gradually became deserted. Except for some secular mortals who were lucky enough to survive, no one else
No one else will live there."
Xuanzi did not hide anything. These were exactly the same as what Kong Laosan learned from the woman named Xu, but that was not what Kong Laosan wanted to hear.
"Is fellow Taoist Xuan hiding something? What's the secret on the ghost island? Why did the Nascent Soul Ghost Cult suddenly become so arrogant? If fellow Taoist Daoist can't tell the truth, please forgive Kong for not agreeing."
Kong Laosan pointed it out directly, not giving Xuanzi a chance to fish in troubled waters. After speaking, he stared straight at Xuanzi whose expression changed slightly in front of him and said no more.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Kong is really a keen eye, but I haven't finished what I said. After the death of the Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivator, not only some of the casual cultivators around him, but also the headquarters of the Beihai Business Alliance sent people to the ghost island to investigate
, there was even an old Yuanying ghost among them, but after checking, except for the cave that everyone had already explored inside and out, nothing else was found. In the end, they could only identify the Yuanying ghost.
Xiu should have revealed something was wrong, or was invaded by inner demons, etc. In short, the matter gradually disappeared."
Speaking of this, Xuanzi suddenly stopped and looked towards Kong Laosan. When he saw that the latter was still sitting quietly, just looking at him lightly, he smiled awkwardly and continued, "Later I and a good friend
I have also gone to investigate. Fellow Daoist Kong should also know that I am no different from the original Nascent Soul ghost cultivator, and the exercises I practice also belong to the ghost path. However, after checking again and again, neither of us found anything.
Just when the two of us were about to give up, one night at midnight, we clearly felt that the island was filled with a very strong ghostly atmosphere. Although it was only for a short moment, I thought that I couldn't go wrong. It must be the island.
What secret is hidden?"
At this moment, Xuanzi's face showed a trace of fire. He glanced at Kong Laosan and saw that the latter was as expressionless as usual and didn't care. "Later, after three years of investigation, I and my good friend finally determined that only
Only on the Dingyou day of Bingshen month every year, the ghost energy on the island will become extremely strong. After ten years of exploration, the two of us finally narrowed the area to within a thousand feet in radius, just in a certain area behind the mountain.
If you are willing to help me, I will definitely be able to find out where the ghost energy explodes this time, and maybe it will be the opportunity we are waiting for."
After hearing this, Kong Laosan finally understood why Xuanzi was so obsessed with Onigashima. As for the friend Xuanzi mentioned, if Kong Laosan guessed correctly, he should be the Onimaru ancestor who was killed by him.
, I didn’t expect that when I killed it with my own hands, this matter would fall on me again. After drinking and pecking, it was really an indescribable coincidence.
"What are fellow Taoists going to do? How should Kong help? Also, on the island
There are so many cultivators, why did fellow Taoist seek out Kong alone?"
Kong Laosan said softly.
Hearing this, Xuanzi's face trembled slightly, and he subconsciously sighed at the vigilance of the yellow-skinned Taoist in front of him. With such a cautious person, I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to seek cooperation with him this time.
He thought like this in his heart, but he was not slow to say, "Hey, now that the range has been roughly determined, as long as the Taoist friend and I control the compass together, we can naturally find the place where the ghost energy explodes. As for why I found the Taoist alone?
Friend, it also just illustrates the fate with Taoist friends."
Xuanzi said, turning his palm over, there were two sides, one big and one small. The compass was dark ink and printed with countless strange symbols that looked like symbols but not symbols, and looked like words but not words. The big one was about the size of a head, and the small one was as small as a head.
As soon as the palms and two compasses appeared, Kong Laosan's expression moved slightly. In the spirit beast bag on his waist, the sleeping borer was like a cat that smelled fishy smell. The strong devouring intention was clearly introduced into his consciousness.
.
"In this case, Kong will go with fellow Taoist to investigate."
After a moment, Kong Laosan nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, the former Xuanzi laughed and looked extremely happy, and immediately threw the smaller compass into Kong Laosan's hand.
"In this case, fellow Taoist, please refine this compass with essence and blood first, so as to save yourself the trouble later."
"Refining essence and blood?"
Kong Laosan frowned and looked at the compass in his hand, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"Haha, it is refined with essence and blood, and can be used like an arm and fingers. This compass is extremely sensitive to ghost energy and the like, but the area of thousand feet is quite wide. If it cannot be more precise, once the area is too large, I am afraid it will be used again next year.
go again."
After hearing this explanation, Kong Laosan thought for a while and stopped talking. He tapped his fingers gently, and a drop of bright red blood seeped out of his skin and slowly fell on the center of the compass. At the same time, he made seals with his hands and made a series of seals.
Putting it on the compass in front of me, with just a cup of tea, strands of implicated thoughts emerged from my heart. The process of refining this compass was much easier than I imagined.
"Haha, our Xiqiong Island is very close to the Ghost Island. Now that the Taoist friend has refined this compass, I will leave now and come back to the Taoist friend in five days to go to the Ghost Island together."
Xuanzi said with a smile, a look of extreme satisfaction on his face.
The two exchanged a few words, and as Gui Yunzi left the cave and disappeared, Kong Laosan slowly stared at the compass in his hand for a long time, and finally turned his palm over and put the compass into his storage bag.
Recalling the words and deeds of this Xuanzi just now, there was no trace of a sneer on his face. Obviously, this Xuanzi must be hiding something. Knowing this, Kong Laosan chose to go to investigate. In addition to being confident in his own strength,
Besides, I still have a great interest in the secret of Ghost Island.
After thinking about this, Kong Laosan naturally had to make some preparations in advance. Two days later, when he arrived at Luoxi Mountain, the full moon hung high, and in the cave, Kong Laosan, who had closed his eyes and breathed in, slowly opened his eyes,
Think about it
Thoughts came out of his eyes. Just as he was about to stand up, he seemed to think of something again. He flipped it over and the compass fell into his hand.
Putting the compass in front of him, a stream of spiritual energy spurted out from his mouth. He pinched out a series of seals with both hands. A mysterious power of sealing escaped from the seals. With a gentle tap, the spiritual power stirred and turned into a stream of seals.
A white disc of the same size as a palm was slowly printed on the compass in front of him.
After doing this, Kong Laosan didn't seem to be at ease. From the center of his eyebrows, the power of his spiritual thoughts swarmed out, and a strange wave clung to the compass.
Until this moment, Kong Laosan nodded secretly, put the compass into his storage bag, walked out of the cave, looked at the sky, took out the "Flash Lightning" Qingzhou, stepped on it lightly, and galloped towards the nearby ghost island.
go.
As Kong Laosan was extremely cautious, he would naturally not wait until the Fifth Empress to go with that Xuanzi as promised. Going to investigate early would not only avoid unnecessary troubles, but also make preparations in advance.
However, in just half an hour, with a flash of blue light in the sky, Kong Laosan had already arrived above the ghost island.
The island in front of you is quite small. It can be said to be the smallest of the nearly a thousand islands. It is only nearly one-tenth the size of Xiqiong Island. Looking from the sky, except for the less vegetation on the island, this ghost island is not the same as the other islands.
There is no obvious difference.
After circling the entire ghost island, Kong Laosan finally fixed his gaze on the only huge mountain peak on the island. The mountain peak in front of him looked very weird. To the north, there were rugged rocks and unusually steep rocks. Between the rocks, there were
There are many weeds and vegetation that look no different from ordinary mountain peaks at first glance. However, looking from the other side, it seems as if the entire mountain range has been split open with a sword from top to bottom.
Smooth, with a ninety-degree right angle to the ground, like a huge tombstone.
"This should be the mountain Xuanzi mentioned."
Thinking silently in his mind, Kong Laosan put the flying boat under his feet into his storage bag. Kong Laosan dodged and landed steadily on the top of the mountain.
Looking around, I saw that except for the faint flickering of candles from some secular homes in the northwest corner, the entire island was completely silent, not even the sound of birds, fish and beasts.
Kong Laosan didn't care, his eyes narrowed, and the power of his spiritual thoughts swarmed out, slowly sweeping towards the foot of the mountain and towards the south.
After a full hour, Kong Laosan's face gradually became a bit ugly. No matter how he probed with his spiritual sense, this place was no different from other places except that the aura was slightly heavier. As for the ghost aura that Xuanzi mentioned, there was not even a shadow at all.
No, this result obviously made Kong Laosan quite unwilling. After spending another two hours and exploring it three times, Kong Laosan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
Seeing that he had gained nothing from this trip, Kong Laosan looked at the sky, and just as he was about to fly away, a faint cry suddenly blew slowly with the breeze. This sound was too weak, and if it weren't for Kong Laosan's keen sense,
Abnormality, I'm afraid it's really hard to find.
Kong Laosan was suspicious, and after identifying the direction from which the sound came, his shape swayed and turned directly into a flash of green light, flying away towards the sea in the northwest.
