Barren Mountain is really not far from City Z.

The group met up and set off at two o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at the place before four o'clock.

However, the surrounding area is indeed quite desolate, with not even a village. It seems that this is a forgotten place, which is somewhat conspicuous in a big city like Z City where land is at a premium.

The most conspicuous thing is the locust forest that I passed by when entering the barren mountain.

It was midsummer, and the lush locust trees covered the path so tightly that no sunlight could penetrate. Walking along, you could only feel the cold air coming over you.

The old temple leader who was walking at the front stared: "We have entered the realm of barren mountains."

In the Xuanmen, locust trees gather in the shade. There is a locust forest here, and I don't know how many strange things are hidden in it.

It's not that I haven't cleaned it before, but there is nothing I can do about the locust tree forest.

In addition, after passing the forest, there is a small mountain village that has been abandoned for a long time. That village is also called Huaishu Village.

It has been passed down by word of mouth for who knows how many generations, and it is somewhat famous in the surrounding area. However, it is famous because the village has been haunted for many years.

Tang Qing followed the old viewer and glanced at the locust tree forest, but looked through the forest at a towering tree at the entrance of the village in the distance.

The thousand-year-old locust tree, with branches and leaves like a canopy, occupies a large area at the entrance of the village, with almost no grass growing around it.

Generally speaking, in the mortal world, when a thousand-year-old tree gets old, it will inevitably have some problems here and there. In serious cases, it may just survive.

But that tree was full of green and not affected by the erosion of nature at all.

What Tang Qing could see with his third eye was the strands of Yin Qi under the locust tree, which were nourishing the tree itself. After absorbing the Yin Qi, the locust tree condensed into locust flowers with strong ghost Qi, which spread to the earth again.

The trees and the land complement each other.

Furthermore, the ghosts here are no different from living people.

Tang Qing's spiritual consciousness first investigated the situation in front of him. When the group walked through the locust tree forest and entered inside, they saw a banquet being held in the rumored mountain village that had been abandoned for a long time.

Every house is brightly lit, with running water mats and long table banquets set up from under the locust tree at the entrance of the village to the door of the last house at the end of the village.

Seeing the outsiders coming in, the villagers came forward to greet them enthusiastically: "Who are you -"

before he could finish his words, Tang Qing threw the fire away.

What's the point of attending a banquet hosted by a group of ghosts?

Next to them, the Yuqingguan disciples who were working with Tang Qing and the others for the first time were dumbfounded.

They had been to this village several times, and each time they were forced to participate in the banquets held by the ghost villagers, and then were trapped inside, repeating the experience of being chased by ghosts again and again.

Although they managed to escape in the end, every time they came to encircle and suppress people, someone always got trapped here and became a member of the ghost villagers.

Today was the first time I saw someone start a fight without saying anything.

Moreover, the place that tortured them until their minds almost collapsed was destroyed like a paper stage under the hands of the girl who used fire.

The whole journey takes less than half an hour.

The old temple master stroked his beard and breathed a sigh of relief again.

This village, as well as the old locust tree, suffered a lot when he led the people here yesterday. He was lucky enough to touch the entrance to the mausoleum, but he suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

Now burned by Tang Qing's Li Huo and cut into pieces by Si Yi's sword energy, the formation inside has been broken.

What is exposed in front of you is the entrance to the depths of the tomb.

Standing there black, like a monster that chooses people to devour.

Tang Qing saw that Si Yi had chopped the thousand-year-old ghost locust tree into firewood, but did not let go of the ghosts living inside. He took over the finishing work with a smile, and burned the ghost locust tree to dregs with a handful of fire.

She was unmoved as she watched the ghosts in the flames, dressed in clothes that clearly did not belong to this era, screaming and wailing.

These gatekeepers show no mercy when harvesting the lives of ordinary people.

After dealing with the people watching the gate outside, with Tang Qing in the lead, Si Yi at the end, and Yu Zhiyue and Xuan Xuan in the middle helping, the group headed into the mausoleum.

There are twists and turns, and since it has been explored, there is no danger.

The further you go, the more ruins you see, but you can't find any trace of ghosts.

It does not correspond to the dragon pond and tiger den mentioned by the old temple master.

Tang Qing frowned.

Her consciousness plowed through the huge mausoleum over and over again, scanning back and forth several times.

Just when she was about to scan again to find a breakthrough, Si Yi, who was walking at the end, came over and said calmly: "I will lead the team." After saying that, regardless of Tang Qing's reaction, he walked straight towards a corridor

.

Later, Si Yi seemed to have said something to the old patron.

The other party asked the logistics staff who were of no use here to stop and found Tang Qing: "Little friend Tang, the next five of us will go in."

Tang Qing stared at him for a while before looking away.

It seemed that the old temple master and Si Yi knew more about the situation inside than she did.

But when the old man talked about the situation on the barren mountain yesterday, he didn't make it clear.

Tang Qing couldn't help but think of the ghost bride saying that all the big families were looking for Si Yi. As the eldest brother of the Celestial Master Association, does the old temple master know about this?

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

He just kept Yu Zhiyue by his side when he wanted to follow his boss's will.

—On

the way down, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Tang Qing held Yu Zhiyue's hand, caught up with Si Yi, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know this place?"

She believed in Si Yi more than the old temple master.

Si Yi, who was leading the way, did not answer her question, but asked instead: "Do you know about the sealed area?"

Tang Qing frowned: "A sealed area?"

She took it literally: "A sealed area?"

Isn't that right? Is it similar to a barrier?

Si Yi hummed and continued: "There is a closed area here. However, if you want to enter, you have to find the marked point, because it is independent of the world and can be regarded as a different space." Tang Qing understood

: "Similar to the ghosts in Shadow Mountain?"

Si Yi said: "Yes, but the ghosts are naturally formed, while the seal is man-made."

After hearing this, Tang Qing's first reaction was that it was something created by the viewer?

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that using a ghost locust tree to guard the door, and tacitly allowing the ghost tree to harm living beings, was not in line with the temperament of the viewer.

Looking at Si Yi's understanding of this place, she couldn't help but wonder whether the guy in front of her was the villain in the original plot.

Of course, we have to keep looking at the facts.

Moreover, is Si Yi going to confess her origin?

Tang Qing pondered, and listened to Si Yi continue: "The territory here has two marking points. One is the ghost locust tree outside, where is the exit; the other is the altar of the main tomb, which is usually transported from outside. The sacrifices that come in are transported to another space from here."

She glanced at Xuan Xuan, who was about to speak, and said lightly: "You don't want to know what the sacrifices are."

Xuan Xuan's expression was cold, obviously she I have already thought about what the sacrifice will be.

Si Yi said again: "Destroy the marking point on the side of the ghost locust tree, and they can only enter and exit through the altar. So, are you sure you want to break in? We killed the people watching the gate earlier, and I'm afraid we have already alerted the people inside. Yes, the people from Guiyuan Mountain are very cruel."

Tang Qing looked at her and asked, "Are you from Guiyuan Mountain?"

Si Yi did not remain silent this time, and nodded frankly: "Yes."

Tang Qing: " What role do you play in it?"

This question seemed to touch on Si Yi's pain point. She glanced at Yu Zhiyue, sneered and did not answer, but said: "You will know after you get in." Tang Qing saw

her actions , couldn't help but tighten the hand holding Yu Zhiyue's hand.

Si Yi, why are you looking at her cook when you have nothing to do?

But after the other party said that, he fell silent and led the way quietly.

The tomb was very large, with many winding passages, like a maze, and Si Yi led them to the main tomb in less than a quarter of an hour.

Tang Qing's consciousness swept over and saw the enemy preparing to attack in the main tomb, and stopped the team's progress.

After passing another corner and passing through the wide corridor, we entered the attack range of those people.

There were no attacks along the way, so they must have planned to kill them all here.

It just so happened that Tang Qing was very curious about what the otherworldly Guiyuan Mountain was.

After explaining the situation in the main tomb, she took the lead.

Lihuo and Xunfeng were thrown out, and at the same time they emitted the coercion belonging to the foundation-building realm.

The coercion, which was not enough in the world of cultivation but was very effective in the mortal world, was thrown out. The hands and feet of the guys with thermal weapons inside began to tremble, and then they were dealt with by Si Yi who rushed in.

Tang Qing glanced at them. They were all ordinary people, so it was not difficult to solve them.

After a while, several people stopped, and Si Yi stood beside the altar. The long sword scratched his palm, and blood flowed into the groove of the altar.

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

With a sarcastic smile on her lips, she turned around and walked towards Yu Zhiyue.

Tang Qing looked at the tip of her sword that was still bleeding and frowned: "Can't you get in?"

Si Yi rolled his eyes: "Isn't it obvious? Use Yu Zhiyue's palm."

Tang Qingli was cremated into a sword, He placed it across his chest to prevent Si Yi from approaching.

She has been feeling distressed for Yu Zhiyue's skin was broken for a long time. This woman Si Yi actually wants to let go of her cook's blood. It's unreasonable!

Si Yi didn't look at Tang Qing at all, and only asked Yu Zhiyue: "Do you want to go in?"

Yu Zhiyue nodded.

Si Yi: "Then just listen to me."

Yu Zhiyue hummed, stopped Tang Qing who was about to quarrel with Si Yi, and said with a smile: "It's just a little blood. After we accepted Mr. Wu's gift, we have to help him get things done, right?" Mr. Wu, the old watcher, is

here The edge nodded fiercely.

Yuqingguan and the association have lost many people before they can reach this point, so they must not give up now!

Tang Qing looked at the altar and nodded reluctantly.

But I still don't quite believe what Si Yi said.

Her cook has nothing to do with this damn place, so how could he possibly open the marked spot?

If it were the heroine Xuan Xuan, she would still be a bit more trustworthy.

However, in fact, Yu Zhiyue's blood can really open the marked point.

Almost as soon as her blood dripped onto it, a burst of white light flashed from the groove, and a passage with only room for one person appeared in the middle.

Tang Qing squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling something bad.

Does her cook really have anything to do with this place?

This is the lair of the villain in the original plot!
