Chapter 272 The City Died In Vain
"certainly."
Lin Sheng nodded, raised his hand, and the black jade gourd fell into his palm. Now that the ghost mist had been absorbed, the gourd had not changed at all.
‘This gourd is indeed extraordinary, I’m afraid it has a great origin. ’
Lin Sheng secretly thought in his heart, and used the Five Elements Planting Technique to replant the black jade gourd into the Spirit Root to continue nourishing it.
Nangong Aotian showed hesitation: "Since it is made of black jade, why is the gap so big?"
Lin Sheng smiled slightly: "Because the black jade I use is somewhat different from the black jade you use."
"What's the difference?" Nangong Aotian looked curious.
Lin Sheng had a mocking look on his face: "Did you know that all Supreme Grade treasures in this world are male and female?"
"ah?"
"Don't be so surprised. It's exactly what you thought. The black jade I use is male, but the one you use is female."
"Of course there is a huge gap between a male and a female."
Lin Sheng grinned: "So even if they are all black jade gourds, I am a male gourd, so my power is naturally stronger than your female gourd."
"..."
"Brother, are you serious about what you said?" Nangong Aotian's face was full of suspicion. He had never heard of the relationship between male and female.
"Of course it's fake." Lin Sheng smiled dumbly, glanced at the surrounding woods, and then hummed a small tune and walked towards the end of the path.
"..."
Nangong Aotian stared at Lin Sheng's retreating back with faint eyes, and quickly chased after him.
"When did brother fall in love with finding someone to have fun with?"
"I've always been like this, you just realized it now." Lin Sheng smiled, and his consciousness spread rapidly outward.
Now that the ghost mist has been collected by the gourd, the thin ghost energy in the air is no longer a concern.
Although the ghostly energy of the netherworld had some impact on the exploration of spiritual consciousness, Lin Sheng could still clearly see where they were.
It is in a mountain forest, and there is a huge city on the desolate plain outside the mountain forest. The spiritual consciousness cannot approach it, as if it has been interfered by some kind of force.
At this time, the tall city gate was tightly closed, and the three huge ancient blood-colored characters on the gate looked familiar to Lin Sheng, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
"This is......"
"It turned out to be a waste of time!"
Nangong Aotian's face was full of shock. Apparently, his spiritual consciousness also saw the ancient city.
"Death city in vain?"
Lin Sheng's face was stunned, and he immediately remembered the map that Nangong Hong had asked him to see. There were three ancient characters marked on the map that were exactly the same as those on the city gate.
‘No wonder those three words looked so familiar and they came to the City of Fushun. ’
Lin Sheng suddenly realized that after going around in circles, he unexpectedly came to the Netherworld.
"Brother, we may have arrived in the underworld."
Nangong Aotian's eyes flickered as he scanned the ghostly ghost energy floating around him. He should have thought that only the netherworld could have such strong ghostly ghostly energy.
Lin Sheng's face was filled with joy: "The Netherworld is wonderful. Since it is the Netherworld, there is hope for us when we go back."
"Do you know the way back?"
Nangong Aotian was also full of joy: "Of course I know that the way back is in the City of Fusi."
"Hehehe, there is no end to the road."
Lin Sheng chuckled. He was now sure that the being hidden behind the scenes was going crazy.
The joy on Nangong Aotian's face softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, please don't be careless, ghosts are rampant in the Netherworld."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not a ghost comparable to the Nascent Soul True Monarch, I can destroy it with a snap of my fingers."
Lin Sheng looked calm and unconcerned. He had the power of thunder and lightning. What ghost could withstand his thunder whip?
Seeing Lin Sheng's nonchalant look, Nangong Aotian's initial worries were relieved. His brother's fighting skills were indeed fierce, and he could easily deal with ghosts.
From this point of view, the Nascent Soul method of the Nangong clan is at their fingertips, and it will finally see the light of day again!
‘Dad is indeed very wise. ’
Nangong Aotian sighed in his heart and followed Lin Sheng towards the end of the path.
The two walked in the forest for a while, and the ghostly aura in the air suddenly became thicker, and rustling footsteps sounded in the forest.
"Brother, there is a situation." Nangong Aotian frowned slightly and glanced around, but saw nothing.
Lin Sheng's forehead flashed with golden light. He looked towards the woods on the right and saw a monster walking quickly in the forest.
It was about three meters tall, dressed in blood-stained linen clothes, and had human limbs and torso, but the limbs and torso were extremely thin and looked like several bamboo poles put together. It had no hair on its body and no facial features on its face.
‘What the hell is this? ’
Lin Sheng was curious. This was the first time he saw this ghost, and he had never seen any records of such ghosts in books.
"Brother, the sound is getting closer to us!"
Nangong Aotian's face was solemn. Although he couldn't see anything, the weird footsteps were getting clearer and clearer.
He glanced over the grass in the forest and saw no traces of being trampled. It was obvious that this ghost was special.
"Don't worry, I saw it."
Lin Sheng's face was calm, and he stood quietly looking at the approaching ghost. He wanted to see what this weird-looking ghost wanted to do.
When Nangong Aotian heard this, he followed Lin Sheng's gaze, but he saw nothing. He secretly guessed that his brother must have the ability to see Shattering Void delirium.
The ghost that came quickly was very tall, so the distance covered by each step was extremely wide, and it arrived in front of the two of them in just a few steps.
The expected attack did not come, and the faceless ghost suddenly squatted down, and its face without facial features slowly approached Lin Sheng, as if observing something.
"Brother, is it in front of us?" Nangong Aotian said. He could feel that there seemed to be something in front of him, and the ghostly aura was extremely strong.
"That's right, he is squatting and watching us." Lin Sheng looked at the faceless ghost in front of him with great interest, and saw that its strange behavior seemed to be somewhat intelligent.
"What does that ghost look like?" Nangong Aotian asked via voice message.
"It looks almost like a human, about three meters tall, has no facial features, and its limbs and torso are as thin as bamboo poles."
Hearing this, Nangong Aotian looked stunned, as if he had thought of something, and his face relaxed slightly: "This ghost is not dangerous and belongs to the category of good ghosts."
"Good ghosts? Are there also evil ghosts?" Lin Sheng asked with a surprised look on his face.
Nangong Aotian narrowed his eyes slightly and said through the voice: "Yes, the clan has explored the ghost world several times and compiled a lot of information about ghosts."
"Ghosts that do not actively attack monks are classified as good ghosts, and ghosts that actively attack monks are naturally evil ghosts."
"Then what is the name of this ghost?" Lin Sheng was curious.
"This kind of ghost has no specific name. It belongs to the good ghost category and is a kind of spirit ghost. People in the clan speculate that the mangosteen became a spirit."
As he spoke, Nangong Aotian was confused: "Such a ghost should be visible. Brother, is there anything weird about it?"
Lin Sheng's eyes fell on Jinggui's linen clothes: "There is a blood-stained linen clothes."
"Brother, why don't you take off the linen clothes and take a look?"
When Lin Sheng heard this, he immediately hit Jinggui on the head with a palm, thunder sounded, and golden flashes of light exploded.
The spirit ghost's head was struck off by the golden thunder on the spot, and its torso shook and hit the ground with a thud.
Nangong Aotian was startled by Lin Sheng's sudden attack. As soon as he recovered, he saw Lin Sheng bending down and pulling something on the ground.
The next second, a piece of blood-stained linen clothes appeared in Lin Sheng's hands. There was a faint fishy smell on the clothes, which was disgusting.
At this time, a slender corpse on a bamboo pole also appeared on the empty grass, exuding a trace of ghostly aura.
"Yes, it's a spirit ghost." Nangong Aotian nodded repeatedly, looking at the linen clothes in Lin Sheng's hand.
"This linen clothes is a bit strange. It can actually make ghosts invisible." Lin Sheng was curious and threw the smelly linen clothes to Nangong Aotian.
"Put it on and see if you can become invisible."
"Me?" Nangong Aotian looked hesitant and looked at the linen clothes in his hands. He felt a little awkward when he thought that it was worn by a ghost.
"It's not you or me? I'm not afraid of the dangers in this world, can you? Put it on and have a look." Lin Sheng smiled, this ghost clothes really looked weird.
"Okay." Nangong Aotian felt helpless and could only put on smelly linen clothes.
"How? Am I invisible?"
Lin Sheng shook his head: "No, it seems that this linen cloth is only effective on ghosts and has no effect on humans."
When Nangong Aotian heard this, he quickly took off his linen clothes and threw them away with a look of disgust on his face. After only wearing them for a short while, his body seemed to be stained with a fishy smell that lingered.
Lin Sheng smiled dumbly when he saw this, turned around and continued on his way: "Let's go to the City of Wasted Death."
Nangong Aotian hurriedly followed. As he walked, he smelled his shoulder with disgust on his face: "Brother, don't let me do this kind of thing in the future. I smell so bad now."
Lin Sheng smiled: "Your clan has explored this world many times, but you haven't found the linen clothes that can make ghosts invisible?"
"That's true." Nangong Aotian shook his head.
"That's a strange thing. I didn't expect that we would bump into each other as soon as we arrived." Lin Sheng's eyes flickered, feeling that things were not that simple.
Swish swish swish.
Another burst of footsteps sounded in the forest.
But this time, the figure they both saw in the forest was a young beauty wearing a skirt, walking slowly from the forest holding a red lantern.
The red light dissipated some of the darkness, and the ghostly aura in the air became much lighter.
"Two young masters, why are you still on the road when it's already dark? It would be bad if you encounter ghosts in this wilderness. The slave manor is nearby. Why don't you stay one night and leave tomorrow?"
As she spoke, the beauty with the lantern looked worried, as if she really cared about the safety of the two of them.
Lin Sheng was puzzled. The young beauty in front of him exuded the aura of a living person. She was actually a human being and not a ghost.
But in this wilderness, how could there be any living people? And he said things that even a three-year-old would not believe.
"Brother, this is the lantern ghost, the ghost is the red lantern, and the woman is just a controlled mortal puppet."
Nangong Aotian said in a message that during the three days when Lin Sheng returned to Chaotian Sect, he had secretly obtained a lot of information about the Netherworld.
"I see."
Lin Sheng looked astonished, walked up to the beauty, and said.
"It's not scary to meet ghosts in the wilderness, but when a woman meets two men, that's the scariest thing."
"Brother, what are you going to do!" Nangong Aotian looked shocked.
