Chapter 141.

The procession to receive the bride was not traveling fast.

Jiang Ran and the others followed just as easily.

Just the more they followed, the more they felt that the group in front of them didn’t look like living people.

Although at a glance, their behavior was no different from normal people.

However, if they looked closely, they could find that their joints were very stiff.

Both legs were straight, and the movement of bending back was also there, but the amplitude was very small.

And their movements were excessively neat.

It seemed that all of them started to make the same movements after receiving a certain instruction.

Earlier when they stopped to check, they also turned back at the same time in unison.

Subsequently departing, it was likewise neat and tidy, without the slightest excess movement.

The most important thing is that …… until now, Jiang Ran was able to hear nothing but the sound of banging gongs and drums.

Surprisingly, he did not hear the slightest sound of breathing and heartbeat.

“Could …… it really be a bunch of dead people?”

Jiang Ran stroked his chin and muttered.

Luo Qingyi frowned slightly:

“My lord, there won’t be any dead people in this world who can move.”

Jiang Ran nodded, recognizing this statement as well.

Although as a traveler, one should actually believe in some ghosts and gods.

After all, he as a modern man was able to travel to this kind of martial arts world, why could he not believe in ghosts and gods?

But Jiang Ran just didn’t believe ……

Especially being in the jianghu, one would rather believe in the perils of the human heart than believe in ghosts and gods through and through.

“Who knows if there is ……”

Li Tianxin at this time, on the other hand, could not help but mutter in a low voice:

“If we really want to continue chasing after them, what if we chase them to some strange and weird place?

“Jiang Ran …… your martial arts skills are high, dealing with people is naturally not a problem.

“But if you face any demons, ghosts and spirits, it’s hard to say.”

Ruan Yuqing lowered her eyebrows and hung her eyes, not saying a word.

She was only gripping her sword with a death grip, with the intention of pulling out her sword at the drop of a hat.

“Even if I really chase you to Hades today, I still want to satisfy this curiosity of mine.”

Jiang Ran laughed:

“To act in such a devious manner is by no means a normal character.

“It might be a big fish, let’s take a look at it first …… but you guys better not follow.”

“This is naturally impossible.”

Ruan Yuqing said faintly:

“I stayed by your side to protect your safety, how could I abandon you and let you go into danger by yourself?”

Li Tianxin sighed:

“All right, all right, all of you are very brave. Then I will also go with you guys okay ……”

Mr. Big, on the other hand, was truly as if he was a transparent person.

Standing on the side, he didn’t even bother to take notes.

Just quietly watched and waited ……

The two sides, one after the other, the more forward, the more remote and hidden the surrounding area, the forest is gradually dense, covering the sky, even the moonlight can not come in, the eye is about to reach out and not be able to see the five fingers.

The good thing is that there is that ghostly green light in front of us, as well as the sound of gongs and drums that we can’t stop beating.

Jiang Ran and other people will not be lost.

So walk for a while, Jiang Ran about at least another ten miles of mountain road.

In front of the sound of gongs and drums, suddenly stopped.

The people looked up to see, they saw that deep in the forest, there is a huge piece of open space, and established a small town.

The town gate was wide open, allowing people to pass through.

As they looked upwards, they were able to see three big words: Infernal Town!

“Infernal Town …… Infernal Hell!?”

Li Tianxin’s face turned slightly white, “Jiang Ran, you’re not trying to go in, are you?”

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment.

This town could be entered, the only problem was that they weren’t from here.

They were only afraid that once they entered the town, they would make a bit of a scene.

The only thing worth being happy about was that there was no one in this town at this time.

Lanterns were hung in every household, and the flame of the lanterns was that same eerie green light.

The procession to receive the bride drove straight into this Infernal Town.

At the same time, the sound of crying and shouting suddenly came out from the eight-carried sedan chair:

“What is this place?

“Help …… help ah!”

It was a woman’s cry, her voice full of trepidation and fear.

The most let Jiang Ran stunned, when this voice came out, Jiang Ran then realized that this sedan chair suddenly came out the sound of a heartbeat.

It was as if originally the sedan chair was just a dead person, and when the threshold was crossed, the person suddenly came to life!

“What’s going on here?”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly and turned to ask:

“Can there be a turtle breath type of martial art in this jianghu?”

“Naturally there is ……”

Ruan Yuqing replied to Jiang Ran with a strong frown while staring at the three words ‘Infernal Town’.

Jiang Ran pondered slightly and looked towards Mr. Big at the side:

“Has Mr. Big heard of this place?”

Mr. Big shook his head slightly:

“Never heard of it.”

“Lying to me?”

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow.

Mr. Big let out a dry laugh, “Indeed, I have never heard of it, much less know exactly what’s going on. Although the Wenmo Pavilion understands a lot of things, it’s impossible to have everything in the palm of one’s hand. Otherwise, old me wouldn’t need to follow your back would I?”

Jiang Ran knew that he really couldn’t ask anything good or bad from Mr. Big.

After pondering for a while, he said:

“I’m going to go into the town to explore, it’s hard to predict the depths in here, so it’s better if you guys don’t follow me.”

After saying that, his figure shifted, the crowd only saw his figure flashing and disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the outside of the Infernal Town’s city wall.

Luo Qingyi followed behind Jiang Ran without even thinking.

Mr. Big also followed suit.

It was time for another session between Li Tianxin and Ruan Yuqing, only this time, Li Tianxin didn’t even have time to make a statement before Ruan Yuqing already flew away.

Li Tianxin gritted his teeth:

“How is it that each and every one of them are all so bent on their own way?”

Gazing at this Infernal Town one last time, he took a deep breath:

“…… You can’t just watch me die?”

After saying these words, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were already filled with the desperate intent to die.

His body swayed and chased after him.

The group stopped outside the Infernal Town walls.

Jiang Ran turned around to see that none of them were missing.

He couldn’t help but be happy, so he said softly:

“All be careful, each according to their own abilities.”

With these words, he stepped on his feet, and the Heavenly Qian Nine Steps came out in a smooth manner.

His body transformed into overlapping shadows, all the way upwards.

But in the blink of an eye, he had already leapt over the city walls.

Luo Qingyi had three skills that he could show off, one was lightness, one was boxing, and the last one was the family’s precious clothes that he wore.

His lightness was still above Jiang Ran.

At that time, within the Cangzhou Mansion, he had sent a dart message to Jiang Ran and was chased out by Jiang Ran when he realized it.

If it wasn’t for the fact that his internal strength wasn’t as good as Jiang Ran’s, maybe Jiang Ran wouldn’t have been able to catch up with him.

At this time, he was really powerful, and even performed a lot easier than Jiang Ran’s Tian Qian Nine Steps.

Ruan Yuqing, as an expert of the Water Moon Sword School, was naturally extraordinary.

Her light body was ethereal and graceful, and between the fluttering of her two sleeves, she had already landed at Jiang Ran’s side.

Jiang Ran looked up at this moment, and saw a silhouette falling in the air, the tip of his foot on the ground, even a little dust was not stirred up.

It was Li Tianxin!

Jiang Ran looked at him with some surprise:

“This light skill of yours, I’ve never seen you use it in the past.”

“There are many things you have not seen.”

Li Tianxin hummed, “I have always been a deep hider.”

Jiang Ran scrutinized him for a couple of moments, and really didn’t see where he was hiding deeply.

After waiting for another two breaths, he didn’t see Mr. Big.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ran said:

“Let’s not wait …… Mr. Big is not all the way with us after all, maybe he doesn’t intend to come in, let’s go.

“Fang just now I have seen where that sedan chair went.”

“Good.”

As the saying goes, both come in.

Before coming in, after doing a hundred mental struggles, after really coming in, they were conversely quite frank.

A group of people under the leadership of Jiang Ran, towards the eight-carrying sedan chair is rushed.

All the way over, really no half a shadow.

A few moments ahead, see that the marriage procession, came to a palace pavilion before.

The line through the gate, all the way deep.

Jiang Ran and the others were about to catch up, when they heard a loud bang.

The gate was actually shut directly.

Jiang Ran and the others glanced at each other, and without hesitation, they immediately flew up and crossed the outer wall of this palace pavilion.

When they stepped into it again, they were deep within a narrow alley.

The walls of the narrow alleys were deep red, and there was a golden pattern of lines engraved on them.

“This ……”

Luo Qingyi frowned slightly, “What kind of place is this?”

“When you were outside just now, did you see clearly the name of this palace pavilion?”

Li Tianxin hurriedly asked.

Ruan Yuqing shook her head and was about to speak when she heard Jiang Ran say:

“This place is called …… Ghost King Palace!”

“Ghost King Palace?”

Ruan Yuqing frowned, “Why do I feel that, something sounds familiar ……”

“You’ve heard of it?”

Jiang Ran hurriedly inquired.

Ruan Yuqing nodded, but then shook his head:

“It seems like I’ve heard of it, but, I can’t recall.”

Jiang Ran pondered slightly, suddenly his mind moved, and he was about to reach out to grab Ruan Yuqing.

Just as suddenly, he heard Luo Qingyi shout angrily:

“What person?”

Someone?

Jiang Ran froze, why didn’t he hear it?

He saw Luo Qingyi already flying away, his fists clenched, and between whistles, he had arrived at one end of the alley, followed by an angry shout:

“Where to go!?”

Jiang Ran’s mind thought together:

“Not good …… don’t chase!”

The figure moved forward, his steps flying, however, when he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Luo Qingyi had already disappeared.

Immediately flew up and checked around.

A large living person could never have disappeared out of thin air like this.

However, the left and right places were both narrow alleys, and there was no trace of Luo Qingyi.

He stood tall and hurriedly turned back to look at Ruan Yuqing and Li Tianxin.

However, he found that Ruan Yuqing was still standing there, but Li Tianxin was nowhere to be seen ……

“Where’s Li Tianxin?”

Jiang Ran inquired in a hurry as he streaked back.

Ruan Yuqing, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ran strangely:

“Young warrior Li is right here.”

She reached out and pointed to the empty space, asking Jiang Ran:

“What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see it?”

Jiang Ran gently exhaled and reached out to hold Ruan Yuqing’s wrist.

With a turn of the Creation Positive Heart Sutra, Ruan Yuqing’s eyes instantly flashed with a flash of bewilderment, and when she waited to come back to her senses, she realized that Li Tianxin, who was originally still standing beside her, holding her sword and waving her hand repeatedly in front of Jiang Ran’s eyes, was as if it was like clouds of smoke dissipating into thin air!

“This ……”

Ruan Yuqing’s face changed:

“Ghost King Palace!

“This is the Ghost King Palace’s ‘Enchanted Heart Ghost Wall’!”

“Mystic Heart Ghost Wall?”

Jiang Ran scrutinized Ruan Yuqing for a moment, “You remembered about this Ghost King Palace?”

Ruan Yuqing nodded repeatedly:

“Fang should have been blinded by the Misty Heart Ghost Wall, the rumors about the Ghost King’s Palace were actually all forgotten ……

“However, even if I remembered, there are very few rumors about this place.

“It is only known that there is a Ghost King sitting inside this Ghost King Palace.

“The Ghost King’s martial arts skills are unfathomable, and it seems that there is still a thousand links between him and the Heartless Ghost Mansion.

“And according to those who claim to have escaped from within the Ghost King’s Palace, the Ghost King’s Palace is shrouded by the Mindless Ghost Wall.

“If you step into it, you will be trapped in a ghostly realm, and what you see and hear is all seemingly real.

“Therefore, one must not believe what your eyes see, nor what your ears hear.

“Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope of escaping the Ghost King’s Palace.”

“What a mesmerizing ghost wall ……”

Jiang Ran sneered:

“It’s just some evil technique that works on the spirit, a method that I’m all too familiar with.”

That scene in the Tang family that day, no matter how long he had experienced it, Jiang Ran would never forget it.

That feeling of not seeing Mt. Taishan through a blindfold, just like what Ruan Yuqing said just now, it was clear that he seemed to have heard of it, but he seemed to be stopped by something, and could not recall it.

It was also because of this that Jiang Ran wanted to help her remove the illusion and preserve the truth through the Creation Positive Heart Sutra.

As a result, Luo Qingyi was mesmerized by this illusion first.

But what about …… Li Tianxin?

Did he disappear in front of Ruan Yuqing?

Is it hit by the mechanism of backstabbing, or just now there is someone who has come?

Jiang Ran guessed in his heart that it was mostly the former.

If it was the latter, there was no way Jiang Ran wouldn’t have noticed it in the slightest.

He thought for a moment and said to Ruan Yuqing:

“Since we’re here, we have to get to the bottom of this Ghost King Palace matter.

“But before that, we have to do another thing first.”

“What is it?”

Ruan Yuqing asked.

Jiang Ran glanced at the golden pattern on the wall beside him and said softly:

“The pattern on this wall might be the key, just like that Heart Killing Demon Sticker, it can make people fall into a seemingly real or fake illusion.

“My Creation Positive Heart Sutra is the nemesis of such tactics.

“Even Shi Pingzhang’s Killing Heart Demon Paste and the Chaotic Heart Funeral Chapter had no effect on me.

“And there are two ways for me to undo this method today ……

“One is the Positive Heart Finger.

“It’s just that the Positive Heart Finger works for a while, and I don’t know if you will fall into this illusion again, and at the same time, I can’t guarantee to observe your state from moment to moment.

“The other kind is like now …… I hold the correct heart and mind for you at all times with the internal power of the Creation and Positive Heart Sutra.

“Only, this would require you and I to be so …… held all the time.”

“Holding …… on.”

Ruan Yuqing then remembered that Jiang Ran was still holding her hand.

Her face instantly blushed.

After hesitating for a moment, she said:

“The Positive Heart Finger is the finger technique you gave me to undo the Heart Killing Demon Sticker?”

“Precisely.”

Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

Ruan Yuqing was silent for a moment:

“Let’s hold it for now. …… I’m not worried that this Mind Killing Demon Wall will get rid of me.

“In case it makes me see you as a rival and ends up drawing swords with you.

“Then it will be very troublesome.

“Let’s start with the fact that we’re in danger now, so let’s avoid one point of trouble if we can.”

Jiang Ran nodded: “That’s what I think too, I’m just worried that you think I’m taking advantage of you.”

“…… Just take advantage, I’m getting used to it.”

Ruan Yuqing sighed:

“First, I was molested by your words, and now it’s skin to skin.

“I’m telling you, these things are not to be told to bystanders, otherwise, where will my Soft Water Sword’s face go?”

“Holding a hand is still considered skinship?”

Jiang Ran’s eyes widened.

“Then what counts?”

Ruan Yuqing froze, then clenched her teeth, “Don’t get any ideas.”

“…… You’re the only one who likes to think nonsense on weekdays, I’m a pragmatic person.”

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, “This isn’t the place to talk either, Li Tianxin and Luo Qingyi are missing, we have to find them first to make sure they’re safe, especially Luo Qingyi ……”

“Oh? I thought you were a little bit better related to Young Warrior Knight.”

Ruan Yuqing was a bit surprised.

Jiang Ran glanced at her:

“Where do you see that I have a better relationship with Knight Tianxin?

“But I’m worried about Luo Qingyi, and it’s not simply because of a better relationship.

“It’s simply because …… Luo Qingyi is far less inscrutable than Li Tianxin.

“When I look at Li Tianxin lately, I always feel as if I’ve seen him somewhere in the past.”

“Eh?”

Ruan Yuqing froze, “I’ve heard that you can’t forget your eyes, and that you were able to recognize Yixin’s sword in the Golden Bottle Building after having seen it just once. If it’s someone you’ve seen, you wouldn’t have forgotten it, right?”

“That’s what’s odd.”

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly, the latter words not continuing.

He felt that Li Tianxin looked familiar, not because of the person’s looks.

Rather, it was because of some mannerisms.

Initially, it was because looking at the way he walked, it seemed like he had met him somewhere.

But couldn’t recall.

Subsequently, he looked again, but then realized that Li Tianxin only walked that way that one time.

Other than that, he observed with all his heart and was always able to find some familiar shadows in some of his usual demeanor.

Only this impression was very weak, Jiang Ran couldn’t think of when or where he had seen a similar appearance.

In addition, Li Tianxin’s identity was extremely mysterious.

Following his side seemed to have some cause, yet it seemed to be far from enough.

This also made Jiang Ran’s heart speculate about Li Tianxin’s identity to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, what was grasped was too little.

Even Jiang Ran couldn’t rule out whether this was his own wild imagination.

However, on the whole, this person was just like what he himself said, he must be a deep concealer.

Therefore, even if this would go missing, Jiang Ran wasn’t particularly worried.

He was afraid of ghosts, not people, and no matter how treacherous this place was, it was just someone pretending to be a ghost.

If he met the people here, then the unlucky one is not necessarily who.

Thinking of this, he said softly:

“It’s not too late, let’s go.”

Ruan Yuqing nodded.

The two of them then clasped their fingers together, and began to walk forward along the narrow alley, wanting to look for any traces that Luo Qingyi or Li Tianxin might have left behind.

But the surroundings seemed to be exactly the same, without the slightest difference.

And walking around, they all seemed to be circling around in one place.

Jumping to a higher place to look, he realized that the scope of this narrow alley was actually not very large.

It was itself centered around the inside of the palace wall, arching in a circle, with a long length, but a narrow width.

Only the construction is extremely odd, Ruan Yuqing recognized that this should be the five elements of the gossip theory, specially built out of a formation.

If you do not know how to break the formation, I’m afraid to walk to dawn, is not out.
