Chapter 123: The Mysterious Manor

  Guo Fei has been practicing the Golden Path Lung Classic, and his lung meridian has been getting deeper and deeper into the internal organs. He gradually encountered the first bottleneck. Guo Fei originally wanted to take the Bixuan Dan, but he hadn't calmed down yet and didn't know when the pursuing soldiers would arrive, so he didn't dare to take it and close his eyes to cultivate.

  "Master, I heard some rumors when I was out buying things today!" Liang Tie said hesitantly as he returned to Guo Fei's room after going out to buy things.

  "Oh, what's up? Tell me about it?" Guo Fei hesitated for a moment and said.

  "They say this mansion is unclean, haunted by ghosts." Liang Tie said in a low voice.

  "Hehe, there's a ghost." Beside her, Hu Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Our team is the ghost, what are we afraid of?"

  "It can't be said like that, since there are rumors, there must be a problem here, and we still need to be careful, Tiezi, tell me carefully, what do the villagers say?" Guo Fei was a cautious person, and he thought deeply after hearing this.

  "Master, I went to buy grain from the farmhouse. A kind old man said that every full moon night, strange calls would be heard here, and people living inside would mysteriously disappear. Even people within three kilometers nearby would occasionally disappear. So they all moved away, ten miles away. The big households nearby also bought talismans to ward off evil spirits. I heard that there used to be many neighbors living close by, but now they've all moved away." Liang Tie recounted what he had heard.

  "When is the full moon night?"

  "Master, it will be the night of the full moon in three days." Hu Xiaoyue replied after a brief calculation.

  It was the night of the full moon, and a round moon quietly climbed up to the treetops, hanging in the sky like a silver plate. Guo Fei did not dare to be careless, and let Hu Xiaoyue and others who had been scattered and living separately gather in the large hall of the manor to sit quietly.

  "I'm really getting impatient, I think there's nothing going on, why don't we just go back to our respective places to rest?" It was 10 o'clock at night, and not a single sound could be heard. Jin Ying said with some impatience. She had been obsessed with practicing a set of human-level knife skills from the Cultivation Mansion during this period, and she was deeply engrossed in it every night. She felt that sitting here was a waste of time.

  "Not urgent, wait a bit longer! Let's talk at midnight." Guo Fei said calmly with his eyes slightly open. The Xuan Tie sword beside him transmitted a slight tremble, indicating that this place was not ordinary.

  It was just past midnight, and a misty fog rose in the manor, flowing through the courtyard, gradually becoming thicker and spreading in all directions.

  "Hong long long!" The Xuan Tie sword began to hum, and a gust of cold wind crept in through the gaps in the windows and doors, making people feel a chill.

  Liang Tie subconsciously leaned towards Guo Fei, took out his bow and arrow, and waited in a tight formation; Jin Ying's eyes flashed with cold light, and the Xuan Yue curved knife was secretly buckled in her hand. Hu Xiaoyue also became cautious, and a faint blue fox shadow appeared on her forehead.

  Guo Fei nodded and gave orders to the two teams around the hall, and the two teams moved quietly towards the gate, guarding beside.

  "Wooo!" A sobbing sound, like a mournful cry, faintly emerged, similar to the rustling of leaves in the wind, and also like a mother who had lost her child wailing in the middle of the night, sending shivers down one's spine.

  "Wooo!" A strong gust of wind blew, sending the dry leaves on the ground flying everywhere. Through the window, I saw a sea of ghostly shadows swaying back and forth. The fog gradually thickened, shrouding the entire manor in its misty veil. Thick fog seeped into the room through the gaps in the windows, emitting an eerie aura.

  The ghost soldiers of the Giant Spirit War Team and the Evil Spirit War Team inhaled these mists, their spirits greatly lifted, each one opening wide their mouths to devour.

  "Master, this is pure yin energy!" The captain of the Giant Spirit War Team exclaimed in a trembling voice.

  "Boom!" The large gate was suddenly blown open by the strong wind, and a swirling fog rolled in from the entrance, carrying with it a multitude of dry leaves.

  "What thing!" Liang Tie shouted. Guo Fei and the others, of course, saw it too. Two strange creatures with emerald green fur all over their bodies suddenly jumped in, and with the fog, they pounced on Guo Fei who was sitting in the middle of the hall.

  The ghost soldiers hiding on both sides of the main hall gate suddenly raised their long guns and launched a fierce attack.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dozens of dark and dead auras formed into spear-like shapes and whirlwinds, striking the two monsters' bodies with intense explosive sounds. When the spear tips collided with the monsters' bodies, sparks even burst out, but the two monsters' bodies shook slightly before instantly shaking off the spears stuck in their bodies.

  Its body was hard to the point of being unbelievable. Guo Fei's eyes turned cold, his body suddenly leapt up, and the Xuan Tie sword popped out of its scabbard, emitting a dazzling light, and suddenly jumped into Guo Fei's hand.

  "Sword Slash!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold, and two sword slashes struck the two monsters in front of him. The swords hit their bodies, knocking them to the ground, sliding several meters away and crashing out of the hall. However, their bodies were not damaged at all. The monster seemed to be in pain, let out a loud cry, turned around and ran away.

  "Charge!" Guo Fei shouted loudly and rushed forward. The two armies followed closely behind, with Hu Xiaoyue and others also following suit.

  In the southwest corner of the manor, near the outer courtyard, in a dense forest, there was a dry well with a radius of one meter. Guo Fei had seen this dry well before and didn't pay attention to it. At this time, the dry well spewed out thick cold fog, and the two monsters jumped into the well instantly and disappeared.

  As the monster jumped down the dry well, the fog in the courtyard also gradually disappeared.

  Guo Fei looked at this bottomless dry well and did not immediately jump down, but knew that the mystery must be under here.

  "Master, these two monsters have a thick and eerie aura, they must be ghostly creatures. At this time, it's midnight, the yin energy is extremely heavy, and the timing is not in our favor when we jump down. Why don't we wait until tomorrow noon to go in and investigate?" Hu Xiaoyue said with a gentle and thoughtful tone.

  "Alright!" Guo Fei thought for a moment, these two monsters didn't have any extraordinary skills, but they were impervious to knives and guns, even the dark energy and sword aura couldn't pierce them, it was clear that their bodies were as hard as fine steel, not to be underestimated.

  Guo Fei had two teams guarding the dry well mouth, and didn't decide to go down to investigate until the next day at noon when the sun was high.

  The dry well was built with large stones, and could be climbed down to put Hu Xiaoyue and others into the space of the military symbol. Guo Fei climbed down about ten meters before reaching the bottom. At the bottom, a dark fork in the road was on one side of the cave wall at the bottom of the well, just enough for one person to pass through.

  Guo Fei summoned the Giant Spirit Team and had them line up in a long snake-like formation, with the lead spirit at the front leading the way as they proceeded forward through the tunnel.

  The cave went down at an angle, and after walking about ten kilometers or so, it was at least a thousand meters underground. Guo Fei estimated that at this distance, they had already entered under the Qingjiang River.

  "Mausoleum!" The end of the passage was an empty and vast area. Looking up, there were thousands of huge tombs inside, with many stone carvings between them - soldiers, horses, green dragons, white tigers, qilin and other mythical creatures lined up around them. Guo Fei was suddenly shocked, this was obviously a large tomb, how many people were buried here?!

  "Master, this place has a very heavy yin energy, don't be careless. You might as well ask Tianhunzi that old ghost, he might know something about it." Hu Xiaoyue reminded.

  Guo Fei listened and thought it made sense. This old swindler was the Ghost King, familiar with the ghostly way, and should know the truth, so he might as well try to get some information out of him.

  "Tianhunzi, how's the taste?" Guo Fei sank his divine sense into the space of the military symbol, and a black lightning bolt was still tied to Tianhunzi's body. This old guy was indeed the Ghost King. If it were two battle ghosts, they would have been scattered by now, their consciousness gone. But Tianhunzi, although extremely weak, seemed not to be fatally injured.

  "Let me go!" Tianhunzi seemed to have no strength left to speak, and his voice trembled. In this space, he had offended Guo Fei, not only could he not absorb any energy, but his own energy was also constantly draining away under the torture of the black lightning. If this continued, a drop in realm would be a minor matter, eventually he would disappear into nothingness.

  Guo Fei's mind stirred, and the black lightning rope instantly fell off Tianhunzi's body.

  "Is it because you need something from me that you remembered me?" Tianhunzi took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

  "You old cheat, you've forgotten the pain of your wounds, haven't you? Do you want to suffer again?" Guo Fei's cold voice transmitted.
