Chapter 427: Return to the Ancient City
Zhang Qian was speechless when he saw this. After the crazy Taoist had finished gnawing on the dog leg in two or three bites, he threw the bone away, pointed his finger forward and said, "Zhang Qian, I'll take you to a place in a while. I guarantee you'll be happy!"
The crazy Taoist smiled mysteriously, which gave Zhang Qian a bad feeling.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qian and the girls sat on Niu Dali's back and followed the crazy Taoist priest to a very dilapidated ancient city!
The walls of the ancient city were covered with moss. In the cracks of the moss, one could vaguely see traces of knife and axe cuts, and there was even dried blood in many of the traces.
Strangely, when Zhang Qian's spiritual sense swept across the ancient city, he could not detect any scenes inside the ancient city. Moreover, the dried bloodstains on the city walls exuded a terrifying murderous aura, which actually made his spiritual sense hurt.
When everyone got closer to the ancient city, the murderous aura in the bloodstains became more obvious, and there were also all kinds of ominous manifestations in the bloodstains.
“These bloodstains…”
The bloodstains may have been imprinted on the city wall tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, and even now they are still filled with murderous intent and imply something ominous.
"Senior, where is this place?"
This ancient city has no name or sign, and the city gates are dilapidated. The key point is that the city gates of the ancient city are actually carved from two large stones, and there is a ferocious beast head on each city gate.
Zhang Qianguan looked at it for a while but still couldn't recognize what this ferocious beast was.
The crazy Taoist climbed down from the Kui Niu and sighed, "This is the ancient city of Guizang. In the ancient times, this ancient city was a holy place that shook the world. But many things happened later. After many changes, this ancient city still exists, but the terrible family inside is destroyed."
"Gui Zang City? What are we doing here?"
Zhang Qian had a vague feeling that there seemed to be some great horror hidden in this ancient city, which made him feel uneasy.
"Hehe, although Guizang City is abandoned and no one has lived in it for a long time, there is still an interesting madman in the city. Oh, by the way, that person is a real madman, unlike me."
The crazy Taoist explained and walked into the city gate first.
After the two stone doors were pushed open, Zhang Qian immediately saw a horrifying scene.
Boom boom boom...!
The ancient city with ruins everywhere is filled with billions of strange runes!
These runes were either in the shape of ghost faces, very similar to Meng Lingsu's curse runes, or in the shape of coffins, emitting a terrifying aura of death. All kinds of ominous runes gathered together and turned into ominous clouds.
Perhaps sensing the arrival of Zhang Qian and others, billions of ominous runes swarmed in, like countless mosquitoes smelling blood.
"Humph!"
The crazy Taoist snorted coldly and flicked his robe sleeves full of holes. Without any sign of power, the ominous clouds that swarmed towards him retreated like mice seeing a cat, not daring to come forward.
A golden roulette wheel that was as solid as a solid object appeared behind the crazy Taoist's head. The wheel was round, and golden flames were lingering around the edge.
"Wheel of Fortune!"
The moment he saw the golden roulette, Zhang Qian's eyes widened. This roulette was clearly condensed from infinite luck power. This was actual luck. The luck power contained in this roulette alone was more than the sum of the luck seals of ten ancient sects!
hum!
The Mad Taoist's Wheel of Fortune shook slightly, and a magnificent divine light of fortune spread out. All the ominous runes covered by the divine light of fortune immediately turned to ashes, like spring snow encountering the scorching sun, rapidly melting and dissipating.
After a while, the entire Guizang City was completely shrouded in the mad Taoist's divine light of luck, and all the billions of ominous runes in the city disappeared.
But the next moment, billions of unknown runes suddenly emerged again in the center of the ancient city, filling the entire ancient city in an instant.
The crazy Taoist frowned slightly: "The curse hasn't completely dissipated yet. How many tens of thousands of years have passed? Forget it! Ignore it!"
The crazy Taoist no longer used his luck and divine light to destroy these runes. Instead, he let the divine light cover everyone and moved forward under the billions of ominous runes.
When he got closer, Zhang Qian felt the ominous and cursed power contained in these runes. This power was hundreds of times stronger than Meng Lingsu's curse power.
He believed that just one of these ominous runes could take the life of an immortal god!
There are billions of such runes in this ancient city, and they are endless. It is simply an ultimate forbidden place!
If it weren't for the Crazy Taoist's Wheel of Fortune, no one would be able to get in.
At the same time, Zhang Qian was extremely curious about what the crazy Taoist had done to gather such a huge amount of luck, so much luck that it could condense a physical roulette wheel. The crazy Taoist led everyone around the ancient city, bypassing the ruins and directly coming to the center of the ancient city.
"A well?"
There is a strange ancient well in the center of the ancient city. The ancient well exudes a strange sense of immortality, eternity, and indestructibility, as if the ancient well is an existence that transcends the long river of time and is not affected by time.
Buzz!
Endless ominous runes gushed out from the ancient well, continuously, as if this ancient well was a source of ominousness.
"We're here, let's go down!"
The mad Taoist's eyes focused, and with the divine light of luck, he jumped into the ancient well!
Zhang Qian and others were shocked, but they had no choice but to follow the crazy Taoist priest and jumped down.
Unexpectedly, this ancient well is not deep, only about ten feet deep.
When everyone landed, a horizontal passage appeared in front of them. No one knew where it led to. In the distance, endless ominous runes were gushing out from this passage.
"Follow closely, I wonder if that old man is still alive?"
The crazy Taoist gave some instructions and entered the passage first.
The passage was pitch black, and the mad Taoist's divine light could only illuminate a small area. In addition, countless hideous human faces were carved on the stone walls surrounding the passage.
There are no less than tens of thousands of human faces, and each face looks different, but all of them have the same expression: grief and despair!
Walking in such a passage was creepy, especially for Li Qingque, Shui Qingsi and others. They didn't even dare to look at those people's faces. They even felt as if tens of thousands of people were staring at them with weird eyes!
Shui Qingsi's cultivation was the highest among all the girls, but she was actually the most timid. After walking in the passage for a while, Shui Qingsi couldn't help but tremble. Zhang Qian had an idea and reached out to hold Shui Qingsi's hand tightly.
Shui Qingsi paused slightly and her face turned red. She couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Qingque and others beside her. When she found that they didn't notice, she lowered her head slightly.
From beginning to end, Shui Qingsi showed no intention of breaking free or objecting.
"What is the taste?"
Suddenly, Zhang Qian smelled a pungent smell.
After walking forward for a while, Zhang Qian finally discovered that the pungent smell was the smell of blood.
After a few minutes, everyone finally walked out of the strange passage and appeared in a wide underground space.
The ground in this space was blood red, with thick dried blood condensed on the ground, emitting a bloody smell.
The crazy Taoist seemed not to notice the bloodstains and just stepped on them.
Puff!
A deep footprint appeared, and along with the footprint, there was a scream like a baby crying.
"what……!"
Shui Qingsi was frightened by the sudden scream and couldn't help but scream.
"Hahahaha, what are you afraid of? They're just some little tricks!"
The crazy Taoist laughed loudly. With his unfathomable level of cultivation, all curses and ominous signs were of no use to him.
Zhang Qian and others tried to step on the blood-red ground, leaving dense footprints, and then a series of baby cries were heard.
