Ghost Tomb escaped into the interior.
After seeing the Changbai Fairyland, Hu Xiuwu had already had some doubts, so he was not surprised that the ghost tomb could enter the interior. He even had a feeling that it was expected.
After Ghost Tomb escaped into the interior, the eight-sided talisman wall and the armillary sphere finally calmed down. If they continued to operate at overload like before, Hu Xiuwu would be worried that the magic circle would crash due to overclocking and overheating.
Although the armillary sphere stopped, the surrounding Qimen Array and the Hanging Soul Ladder started to operate again. The space kept twisting and changing. The originally closed tombs were expanded one by one, and the tomb roofs were opened. The entire ghost tomb was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The boundary between Zhou tombs and Tang tombs also became blurred.
Just after the armillary sphere stopped moving, an exquisitely carved octagonal copper box suddenly rose in the center of its base.
Hu Xiuwu touched it lightly, and the lid of the copper box blossomed like a flower, revealing a tortoise shell inside.
Another dragon bone book.
When Hu Xiuwu picked up the dragon bone book, a gentle repulsive force came from the ghost tomb, as if telling Hu Xiuwu that the ghost tomb was being renovated. As the owner who couldn't help at all, he should stay where it was cool. Come back after the ghost tomb was renovated and the formaldehyde was gone.
Seeing the construction team start to drive people away, Hu Xiuwu could only look at Chen Duo, who was standing aside obediently and silently, like a little girl next door:
"Let's go, we need to get out of here first."
Chen Duo said calmly: "Okay."
So many things happened in this short half day, but there was no surprise on Chen Duo's face, as if what had just happened was just an ordinary neighbor moving.
After a slight hesitation, Hu Xiuwu still pulled Chen Duo's hand to prevent the two from being separated when they were teleported back to the real world.
Chen Duo did not resist and obediently let Hu Xiuwu hold her hand.
Then the two figures disappeared into the ghost tomb.
Chapter 104: Evil Luohai City?
On the deserted streets of Eluohai City, the figures of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo flashed again and returned to their original place.
Hu Xiuwu glanced around and found that they were back to where they left off. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Phew! I'm finally back!"
Chen Duo pressed the intercom and called out twice:
"Uncle Liao? Uncle Liao?"
As a result, there was only rustling noise in her ears, and no one responded.
Hu Xiuwu asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Duo looked at Hu Xiuwu: "Uncle Liao and the others can't be contacted."
Hu Xiuwu also tried twice with his communicator, but found that he could not contact Hu Bayi either. He could only hear the rustling sound coming from the communicator and guessed:
"Maybe our communicators were damaged when we entered Zhongshan just now."
Hu Xiuwu thought for a moment and said to Chen Duo, "How about this, let's go to the agreed meeting point and wait for them. If they haven't shown up by the agreed time, we'll go find them."
Chen Duo nodded slightly and agreed to Hu Xiuwu's idea.
Hu Xiuwu took out the laurel from the ghost tomb. Fortunately, the ghost tomb can still store things.
Hu Xiuwu, holding the laurel wreath, led Chen Duo back the same way. However, as they walked on the dark road, Hu Xiuwu always felt something was wrong.
After seeing two or three flames in front of him, Hu Xiuwu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Wasn't there already a problem with Eluohai City before Chen Duo and I entered the Ghost Tomb? Where are we now?
Chen Duo saw Hu Xiuwu suddenly stop and tilted her head to ask him, "What's wrong?"
"Someone is coming, let's hide first!"
Hu Xiuwu reminded Chen Duo, then hid in an empty house nearby. Chen Duo obediently followed Hu Xiuwu into the house.
This house was like other buildings in the city of Eruohai. Time had stopped at a certain moment. The firewood in the stove had been burning for who knows how many years, and the pot was filled with fragrance. But the food in the pot was still half-cooked.
Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo hid by the window in the house and looked out quietly.
A line of people holding torches, wearing leather armor and guards with scimitars on their waists walked along the avenue. There were eyeball-shaped patterns painted on their chests.
Hu Xiuwu had seen the pattern before; it had appeared in the viewing map in King Xian's tomb.
That is the pattern that symbolizes the Zhuchen Pearl. Only the Demonic Kingdom that once worshipped the Snake God and the Samsara Sect used this pattern. But didn't the Samsara Sect disappear in history long ago?
Who are these people outside the house?
Just as Hu Xiuwu was thinking about these things, a poisonous miasma surged from Chen Duo's body. He reached out to push the door open and attack these people.
Hu Xiuwu quickly stopped her and asked in surprise: "Chen Duo, what are you doing?"
Chen Duo said calmly: "Uncle Liao said that once a stranger appears in the Eluohai City, he must be subdued immediately, regardless of life or death if necessary!"
Haha, this is really a style that goes anywhere. He will show no mercy as long as it involves the population red line.
Hu Xiuwu grabbed Chen Duo and turned her body towards him. Looking at Chen Duo's almond eyes that were as pure and flawless as spring water, he said seriously:
"I'll explain it to Uncle Liao, but we can't go out now, at least until we figure out where we are."
The room was silent for a while, with only the crackling of the flames in the hearth.
Finally, Chen Duo put away the Qi in her body, and Hu Xiuwu said softly, "Thank you."
Chen Duo shook her head and said nothing.
Hu Xiuwu continued to observe the guards patrolling outside the house. These guards were very strange. They were wearing ancient costumes, which could be explained by faith.
But even if that's the case, there's no need to use torches for lighting in this day and age, right?
Wait, the era? No way, is this happening again?
Hu Xiuwu suddenly had an idea and recalled the scene at the Fishbone Temple. When he was about to take out the coin from his pocket,
Suddenly, the people outside the house became noisy, with constant shouting and the sound of weapons rubbing against each other. Team after team of people holding torches and wearing the clothes of the Samsara Sect poured out from the inner city.
There was a man who seemed to be a captain or something like that, shouting words that Hu Xiuwu and his men couldn't understand, and driving his men away.
They walked the streets with knives in hand, kicking down every door and searching every house.
"It looks like they are looking for something. Are they looking for us?"
Hu Xiuwu talked to himself as he looked at the messy fire outside the house.
He now understood that they must have traveled back to a certain dynasty, otherwise there would not be so many strange people appearing in front of him.
That’s right, all the unidentified people outside are extraordinary people, even the lowest-ranking pawns have obtained Qi, similar to Hu Bayi’s previous situation.
There are more aliens in this city than in the entire country.
Chen Duo asked: "What should we do now?"
Hu Xiuwu pondered for a moment and said, "If the situation outside is really as I thought, then the entire Eluo Ghost City is now full of aliens. We can't act rashly."
If only Big Brother and Master Hui were here, we could easily get out of here with the help of the Earth Traveling Immortal Technique.
Hu Xiuwu thought with some regret.
These people from the Samsara Sect act very quickly and will probably find the house where Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo are soon. The fanatics are always more active than ordinary yamen runners. They do not need supervision and have strong internal motivation, so they will do anything for their god.
Chen Duo asked, "Should we break out through the main gate?"
"The main gate is probably under martial law now. If you go through the main gate, you will easily be surrounded and taken into the city and caught."
Hu Xiuwu shook his head. He suddenly thought of something and asked Chen Duo:
"Chen Duo, do you have a map of the Eluohai City?"
Chen Duo nodded and took out a plasticized map of the Eluo Sea City from his backpack. After Hu Xiuwu carefully studied the map of the Eluo Sea City, he pointed to a place on the map:
"Let's escape from here!"
"However, we must first solve the current trouble!"
The fire on the street was approaching the house where Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were!
······
Bang!
The man kicked open the door of the house, and then six or seven strangers holding sharp blades rushed in.
The group did not seem to feel sorry for the houses, because they knew that no matter what happened, the city would be back to its original state by tomorrow morning.
The leader of the Samsara sect shouted in Tibetan:
"Search! Search quickly! We must find the two people the priest mentioned!"
Hu Xiuwu jumped out from his hiding place, and a sword light shone from the dim room, making the dark room bright. In an instant, all the small rooms in the houses were illuminated, just like daylight.
Flying Sword Style: Speedy Sword Draw and Slash.
With a swift strike of the sword, the two people in front of Hu Xiuwu were beheaded. Then, before others could react, Hu Xiuwu used the Solitary Wheel Flash from the Youyue Sword Technique.
This move is very similar to the Sword Drawing Slash, both of which are moves that unleash a powerful slash in an instant. The difference is that during the slashing process, the Solitary Wheel Flash will also be combined with footwork to perform a quick sprint.
In just a moment, Hu Xiuwu turned into a sword light and rushed into the crowd.
The sword flashed, and these people were also killed by Hu Xiuwu's sword.
The heads of the two men who were first beheaded by Hu Xiuwu with his lightning-fast sword had just fallen to the ground.
Hu Xiuwu's talent was recognized by several masters, and he was as talented as the Heavenly Master. He did not agree with Chen Duo's suggestion because he was worried about being besieged by hundreds of aliens.
Instead of being afraid of these few insignificant people.
When the leader guarding the door saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he stepped back in horror, opening his mouth and about to shout to others, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
His body collapsed to the ground, and the only sound coming from his throat was like an old man coughing up phlegm. The desire to survive prompted him to try to crawl out of the house, but he was horrified to find that his hands had turned charred black at some point.
Just when he was extremely frightened, a pair of strange women's shoes that he had never seen before appeared in front of him. He looked up subconsciously, and saw a pretty girl, more beautiful than those saint candidates, standing in front of him in strange clothes.
The girl looked down at him, her earrings swaying like willows:
"I'm sorry, uncle, Shugo said you can't go out."
Chapter 105 Escape, Escape
A team of seven was wiped out in an instant.
