Chapter 23 I'm a Demon Cultist
"Great immortal, please spare me..."
Seeing the female ghost kneeling down on the spot, Lin Yun was also stunned for a moment.
Is this awkward?
"I'm not a great immortal, I'm just a mortal. Are you sure I won't fight?"
"You really love to joke."
The female ghost was cowardly and said, "Great Immortal, I am just a little ghost. I have been trapped in the tomb and have never gone out to hurt anyone. I am a good ghost. Judging from your righteous appearance, you can tell that you are a reasonable person. How about leaving me with a way out?"
"But I am a member of the Demon Cult."
Female ghost: "..."
It's sloppy.
Lin Yun found that the female ghost was frightened and couldn't help but feel funny and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you."
"I can lead the way for you. There are many traps in this tomb, and if you are not careful, you will die."
Lin Yun shook his head. He might as well explore this unknown place by himself. He believed in the female ghost. What if she deliberately took herself to a place with a trap, she would have plotted against her?
"I can be driven by you and have a little combat power."
Lin Yun still shook his head, but the reason was still insufficient.
Seeing this, the female ghost knew that she had no choice but to say resentfully: "That... I can still warm the bed."
Lin Yun: “…”
Are female ghosts so strong in surviving nowadays?
Seeing her so pitiful appearance, Lin Yun finally nodded and said, "I don't want you to warm the bed, I'm just curious. Can you really warm the bed, just like you?"
The female ghost said shyly: "It will naturally warm up when you move."
I suspect you are driving.
Lin Yun coughed twice and said, "Let me first talk about your name, what is the origin of it, and where is this place."
"This place is the Dragon Tomb of the King of Pingxi. I am a maid from the King of Pingxi, named Qiuping. The prince killed a demon dragon. This place is the Dragon Tomb. Although the real dragon died, its remnant soul has not disappeared. In order to suppress the dragon soul, the prince set up the Four-Symbol Demon Envelope Formation.
The formation was about to calm the resentment of the True Dragon, so I was buried in the tomb. The dead souls who died in the hands of the great immortal were also buried with the burialists."
"King of Pingxi? I haven't heard of it."
Lin Yun knew that there was a Great Zhou court, but although the current Great Zhou court was nominally the ruler of the world, its actual control ability was very limited, so naturally he did not become a king from other places.
"How could it be..."
Qiuping was obviously very shocked, but then she figured it out again.
"I have been sleeping in this tomb for many years, but I have only suddenly woken up recently. I think many years have passed outside. There will be changes in the dynasty, let alone a royal palace."
Lin Yun became interested and asked, "Which year did you die?"
"How long has it been since Taihao passed since 967?"
Lin Yun: “…”
Taihao Li, what era has this happened?
Lin Yun knew too little about the history of this world, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, it's almost seven thousand years."
Lin Yun made up a random time. If he said he didn't know, wouldn't he seem very uneducated?
If that is the case, he will have to kill the demons and silence him.
So this is not a lie, it is a lie full of kindness.
"Seven thousand years...no wonder the royal palace is gone."
Qiuping felt a little sad and asked again: "Where are there any successors of these palaces, such as Zhennan, Zhenhai, and Beidi Gun King?"
"Of course, their family is neatly and completely gone."
"The Human Emperor Ji should be still here?"
"The current emperor's surname is Zhao, and he is not considered a human emperor."
Qiuping had already begun to suspect that the ghost had passed away, so Lin Yun couldn't stand it anymore and comforted him: "You don't have to be too sad. After all, you are just a maid buried with her, so there is no need to worry about this kind of thing."
Qiuping: "..."
Although Lin Yun’s words make sense, what should she do if she feels even more sad?
"Since you are a burialist and you are familiar with this place, do you know how to leave this cemetery?"
Lin Yun learned a little about the background story and began to ask about the way to leave.
Although this place is a good place for leveling up, it is still too dangerous. It is safe and comfortable to hang up at the bottom of the lake to practice.
"The dragon tomb is not allowed to go out. This is also a trapping array. It traps the true dragon's residual soul here to prevent it from going out to cause trouble. If you want to leave, you can only go to the tomb chamber and destroy the residual soul. This formation will be destroyed without attacking."
"Your prince could not destroy anything back then, did you let me destroy it now? You didn't want to lie to me to die, right?"
Lin Yun rubbed a fireball, which scared Qiu Ping quickly explained, saying, "Don't get me wrong, in this trapping formation, the dragon soul has been weakened. Daxian, your divine fire can burn your soul again. I believe that the dragon soul is no longer your opponent."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Yun stared at Qiuping, but Qiuping was a little hesitant.
"I...is not sure."
Lin Yun: “…”
This female ghost is afraid she is not a little silly.
"Well, then you can lead me. I can't kill Dragon Soul by then, so it should be fine to kill you."
Qiuping: "..."
She suddenly felt a little unconfident.
But she had no choice but to surrender to Lin Yun. The fire that Lin Yun took out made her completely unresisting. Her keen intuition could sense that as long as she touched the fire, her entire ghost would be burned.
"Then you, come with me, great immortal."
Qiuping took Lin Yun and found the mechanism, and the stone door at the end of the passage slowly opened.
This is a hall with a huge phoenix carved in it. Flames burned on the phoenix, making the statue look like it is alive.
Also because of the fire on it, the hall is very bright.
"This is the Vermilion Bird Palace. The Vermilion Bird Fire will never be extinguished, because there is a fire-attribute fairy stone in the belly. The fairy stone contains rich spiritual power, and this kind of fire is enough to burn for tens of thousands of years."
Qiuping is like a tour guide, explaining to Lin Yun that there are many murals in the Vermillion Bird Hall, recording the achievements of his predecessors at that time.
She had just walked to the front of the mural and was about to explain the story to Lin Yun at that time. Suddenly, she heard Lin Yun ask: "This statue should not have much impact if it is destroyed, right?"
"Of course, the Four Symbol Formation has been formed, and the statue is just to express respect for the holy beast and has no other effect."
Qiuping was still curious about why Lin Yun suddenly asked this, and then heard the sound of a stone shattering. He turned his head and saw that the fire of the Vermilion Bird had been extinguished. Lin Yun took out a fiery red stone from the Vermilion Bird's belly.
"Is this the fairy spirit stone? It turns out that it's full of spiritual power, so it's so beautiful."
After getting the fairy spirit stone, Lin Yun felt much more relaxed. Although the spiritual liquid in his body was still abundant, he could not replenish the spiritual energy here, which still made him feel insecure.
It’s like going out to play without bringing a power bank, it’s not so reliable.
Qiuping: "..."
"What? Didn't you say you won't destroy the formation, it won't have any impact?"
"Uh, nothing, just be happy."
Qiuping smiled.
