Wangshan ran to death, Qi Xuansu saw the "Ghost Pass" early and came to the mountain road before the "Ghost Pass", but it was already an hour after he actually arrived at the "Ghost Pass" city.
The reason why "Ghost Pass" is so named can be traced back to the ancient Daomen period.
At that time, the Taoist sect was divided into five parts, let’s call them the Eastern Taoist Gate, the Western Taoist Gate, the Southern Taoist Gate, the Northern Taoist Gate, and the Central Taoist Gate.
The Eastern Daomen is the predecessor of Taiping Dao headed by the Li family, the Southern Daomen is the predecessor of Zhengyi Dao headed by the Zhang family, the Northern Daomen is the predecessor of the Qin family of the Daxuan royal family, and the Central Daomen can be regarded as the predecessor of Quanzhen Tao.
The Western Daomen was the predecessor of the branch of the Daomen that later followed Tantai Yun to the Western Regions.
Hundreds of years ago, two people competed for the position of the master of the Western Tao Sect.
One of them is a human-immortal martial artist. His vitality is as high as that of an ancient giant beast. He can eat nine elephants in one meal, and his punch is as heavy as a nine-cauldron. He can destroy thousands of magic spells with just one drink. He is the ultimate martial artist.
The other person is a ghost fairy magician, who creates a world with one thought, and uses magic to create a ghost country. There are many illusions in it, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. After detaining countless living and dead souls, they actually form six small reincarnations of their own, trying to form a world of their own.
In the end, it was difficult for ghosts and immortals to fight against immortals. After the human immortals entered the ghost kingdom in person, the ghost kingdom could not bear the soaring blood energy and directly collapsed and disillusioned. The ghost immortal suffered the backlash of the ghost kingdom and died.
Since then, the disciples of Guixian have learned from the pain and decided to build a real ghost kingdom on earth. They rebelled against Ge Zao Dao, called themselves "Zao Ge" and occupied Beimang Mountain.
Beimang Mountain is one of the 72 Blessed Lands, ranking above Yunjin Mountain. It was originally a treasure land that brought together the beauty of heaven and earth. Therefore, emperors and dignitaries of all dynasties built mausoleums and tombs here. After the Zaoge Sect occupied this place, it began to
After more than a hundred years of intensive cultivation and management, countless dead souls were detained and dormant in secret, waiting for the opportunity.
When the Golden Horde army went south, the Jin Dynasty was overthrown, the world was in chaos, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The Zaoge Sect used the right time, place, and people to finally build a ghost kingdom on earth, connecting Jiuyou, and prospered for a while.
This later became the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven, which formed a world of its own and was said to be as big as the Imperial Capital.
The Taoist sect once tried its best to attack the Ghost Kingdom Dongtian twice, but the result was that the Taoist sect won both times, and the Zaoge Sect was defeated twice. When Xuansheng integrated the five Taoist sects, the Zaoge Sect was completely destroyed, and the Gezao Tao was restored, along with the Ghost Kingdom.
Dongtian was brought under the name of Quanzhen Tao.
After the two wars, the Ghost Kingdom Cave Sky was already dilapidated. It was like a house, with only pillars, beams and some broken walls left, with wind leaking from all sides. The Yin Qi in the Cave Sky spread to the entire Beiman Mountain, making Beiman
The mountain almost turned into a ghost on earth.
Some people propose to completely destroy the cave here to prevent it from further eroding Beimang Mountain. Others advocate retaining the ghost kingdom cave. After all, this place has gathered the wisdom and hard work of the predecessors. If it is destroyed, it will be too wasteful. As for the so-called good and evil
, it all depends on how to use it.
Xuan Sheng finally decided to keep the cave and repair it to prevent the Yin energy from leaking out.
It took hundreds of years to repair the cave this time. It even took several generations. Even the Grand Master had to change three people before the repair was finally completed. Dao Sect opened up the cave here as a place for storage, testing, cultivation, and suppression of all kinds of people.
The location of this "creation", a workshop of Huashengtang is located inside Dongtian.
In this case, if the cave in the Ghost Kingdom is broken by an external force, causing the Yin Qi to leak out and the "creatures" to escape, the serious consequences will be far greater than the destruction of the Cuo Wenbu workshop.
Therefore, the Taoist sect is heavily guarded here and has set up a checkpoint called "Ghost Pass" on the only way to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven.
When Qi Xuansu came to the "Ghost Pass" city, he saw a completely dark pass located between two peaks. It was halfway up the mountain and completely blocked the way. It can be said that one man can block the pass and ten thousand people can't open it.
Equipped with various defensive equipment and spiritual officers also wearing pitch-black armor, the city was heavily guarded to the naked eye.
It is said that there is a first-grade spiritual officer who is personally in charge here. Although his combat power cannot be compared with that of the first-grade innocent Taoist priests, it is far superior to the ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, and is on par with the real people of Shenzhi.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also vaguely saw a huge figure standing on the cliffs on both sides of the "Ghost Pass". Although his true appearance could not be seen clearly, Qi Xuansu guessed that it was probably a "creator" or the like.
Lord Siming has always been coveting this place, and has made several attempts, but always failed. The reason why the ancient immortals were able to sneak into Yujing was because the defense of Yujing was lax. After all, there were too many experts in Yujing.
, no one thinks that the ancient immortal dares to come to Yujing to run wild, it is considered a dark place. But the "Ghost Pass" is different. At the slightest sign of trouble, full martial law will immediately be imposed, making it difficult to sneak into it.
Even if an ancient immortal uses his great magical power to seize someone's body and cross the sea to enter the "Ghost Pass", that is only the first level. There will be layers of defenses after that. If they want to enter the core, only some first-grade innocent Taoist priests and Shenzhi
Only real people can do it.
At this time, the gate of "Ghost Pass" is wide open and there is no martial law. There are not many people passing by, so there is no need to queue.
Qi Xuansu came to the Lingguan who was responsible for the inspection procedures and took out two of his waist tags, one given by Qin Wubing and the other given by Pei Xiaolou.
There were two spiritual officials in total. One of them checked the two waist badges and asked: "Passing by?"
Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "I'm going to Longmen Mansion for some private matters."
"Okay." The spirit officer's attitude was somewhat relaxed and he was no longer rigid. As long as they did not enter the cave or the workshop, they would not continue to conduct in-depth investigations.
This spiritual official handed the waist badge to another spiritual official and registered it for Qi Xuansu.
While waiting, Qi Xuansu took advantage of the opportunity to chat with the spiritual official and asked casually: "Brother, since the incident with Tso Wenbu, have you not had any secret society of demons causing trouble?"
Regarding Cuowenbu's matter, the Taoist sect has made it known to everyone in the Taoist sect, and almost everyone in the Taoist sect knows about it, so the Lingguan didn't think there was anything wrong and replied: "It's okay here, there are no big monsters causing trouble. After all, it is located in Xijing.
Between the Mansion and Longmen Mansion, it is not far from Difei Mountain. Even if the demons encounter a large-scale attack, they can rush to help quickly. However, there are still some small fights."
Qi Xuansu asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"There are demons from 'Tianting' openly committing murders in Xijing Mansion, and they are killing people from the imperial court. There is a letter from Xijing Mansion, asking us to pay attention to whether the demons from 'Tianting' have escaped here." Lingguan did not hide it.
He sarcastically said, "I don't know what the people above are thinking. Anyway, I haven't seen any demons escaping to the 'Ghost Pass'. Wouldn't it be more convenient to capture them where they are, or to flee directly to Yujing?"
Qi Xuansu laughed: "Brother, what you said makes sense. If I were that monster, I would probably flee to Yongzhou or Liangzhou, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, making it easy to hide, or I could go to Lingnan via the south of the Yangtze River, where is the 'Tianting'
's lair. No matter what, you won't run to the 'Ghost Pass'. Isn't this just throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Who says it isn't?" Lingguan is also a human being. He has been stationed here for a long time, so it is inevitable that he will feel a little bit complaining. "One more thing, a Taoist priest died in Wuxu Palace. Although he was not a big shot, he was a disciple of the real person in charge of the palace, so there is no such thing.
There was also a letter from the Xu Palace, asking us to pay attention to the passers-by and see if there are any suspicious people."
Qi Xuansu didn't show any signs of surprise on his face, pretending to be surprised: "A dead person? When I came here, I didn't hear about the dead people."
"It just happened not long ago, of course my brother hasn't heard about it." Lingguan said, "I wonder if those people think that we are too idle, monsters are making trouble, and they want us to pay attention. Even if people die, they also want us to pay attention. From Xijing Mansion to
Guiguan, hundreds of miles away, and Beimang Mountain, where can't we go? The murderer ran to our Guiguan after his brain was kicked by a donkey. Let me tell you, it was probably that day.
The demon Ting'er killed him conveniently, and he just happened to commit two crimes at the same time."
Qi Xuansu, who seemed to have been kicked in the head by a donkey, laughed and said: "Heroes see the same thing. I also think that's the case. Maybe the Taoist priest just happened to break the demon's whereabouts, and the demon simply didn't do anything, and directly
Kill and silence."
At this time, the official in charge of registration said: "Wei Wugui, right? See if there is no problem, please sign."
Qi Xuansu smiled apologetically at the Lingguan he was talking to, came to the table, glanced at the registration content, and wrote the words "Wei Wugui" with a pen.
The Lingguan in charge of registration returned the two waist badges to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said goodbye to the two of them, then got on his horse and entered the "Ghost Pass".
