45 - Hidden deep enough

Damn Fu Junqing, you have hidden your strength really well, you want to find something here and actually drag us down as a scapegoat, you sure are scheming!

"I think we're looking for the same thing?" Zhang Shaowu asked tentatively.

"I think it should be, the thing that they asked you to find, is the thing inside the Ghost Tower in the center of Misty Forest, right?" Fu Junqing was also extremely careful with his words.

Zhang Shaowu suddenly laughed loudly. "So that's how it is! It seems that although we all have the same goal this time, our goals are different.

It seems that Zhang Shaowu and Fu Junqing's relationship was extremely good as well.

"Hmm, alright, depending on your own skill. I definitely won't agree to have you give such an important thing to Ghost Society. If we do, we won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future. " Fu Junqing also began to feel that something was amiss.

"Hello? What are you all talking about? " I'm getting more and more curious, and I want to get to the bottom of everything.

Zhang Shaowu turned around and explained to me: "Su Su, you'll understand when we get the thing."

Alright, it seems like you guys don't want to explain it to me right now, so Zhang Ziyuan and I were somehow involved in some strange matter. Since things had already come to this, he might as well make a trip to the Ghost Tower with them.

As we continued to walk deeper, we subdued a few wandering souls who didn't have high cultivation. Compared to the Blood Corpse s, we dealt with them a lot more. When the sky was about to brighten, we walked to the middle of the forest. A tall tower stood within it, and it seemed that this was the Ghost Tower that they were talking about.

Ghost Tower s did not look tall from the outside, a total of five floors. On the first floor, there were eight tightly shut doors.

"There are eight doors?" Which one should I go in from? " I ran around the Ghost Tower but didn't find anything.

Zhang Shaowu took out a Gossip Disc from his bosom. It corresponded to the star phenomenon in the sky and the shape of the Ghost Tower as he calculated: "Today's purple light belongs to the Yin. According to the location and the day today, walking through there should be a door of death.

He spoke a bunch of incomprehensible words. In any case, in conclusion, he was saying that he should just walk away from the gate. The question was, which one was the gate?

"This door is the gate." Zhang Shaowu stood in front of a door, using a Gossip Disc as a medium, he muttered an incantation. A burst of yellow light shot out, and the door actually opened.

"It's really amazing!" The door that was opened was also pitch black, no one knew whether it was fierce or lucky, they immediately activated the pyretic lustre s on top of it to light it up.

"This thing is the legendary pyretic lustre? It's too magical, it's too easy to use in a place where you can't light a fire! " Zhang Shaowu also seemed to be very fresh of pyretic lustre s and Space Abyssal Sword s.

"Should we leave one for the others to go in? "What if something dangerous happens?" Fu Junqing suggested.

"I'm sure my wife and I went in. I don't feel safe leaving her there by herself." Zhang Ziyuan's face turned white.

Zhang Shaowu also said: "My techniques are the highest here, I am definitely going in, then Fu Junqing, will you stay?"

Fu Junqing could only nod his head: "That's fine, if anything happens, I can still stay outside to support his. How about this, I will place a protective barrier around Su Su as usual, if I don't receive serious damage, there won't be a problem for three hours. Furthermore, as for the things I want to take, once you guys come out, Zhang Shaowu and I will decide who to give this to with a fair duel. "

After the barrier was broken, Fu Junqing gave me a compass and told me that if anything were to happen, he would use the spirit inside to activate the compass.

I nodded, put away the compass, and walked in with Zhang Ziyuan and Zhang Shaowu.

The pyretic lustre flapped its wings in front to illuminate us, and we carefully walked at the back. I couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is the thing that you are talking about? "Don't even try to keep me in suspense."

Zhang Shaowu laughed after hearing it, "I didn't keep you in suspense. Actually, it wasn't anything impressive, I was just afraid that you wouldn't say anything more. There were seven artifacts placed at the highest level of the Ghost Tower that were used to suppress all of the wraiths in the tower, preventing them from coming out. Among them, there is a treasure called the Heaven and Earth Yin Charms, it is said that it has the power to tame the Ghost King, and was placed here when we were building this tower. Our goal is this Heaven and Earth Yin Charms. "

"Ah?" Why are there seven treasures here, and why did you choose this one? " I don't quite understand.

"Because if the other treasures leave this place, they will no longer be able to suppress the high leveled spirits in the Ghost Tower. At that time, this tower would be in danger of being destroyed. Moreover, even us mortals cannot take down other treasures. " Zhang Shaowu explained.

I touched my nose. "So that's how it is, so your target is that Heaven and Earth Yin Charms? What are you guys doing here? And what kind of thing is that Ghost King? "

Zhang Shaowu sighed: "It's obvious why Ghost Society wants the Heaven and Earth Yin Charms. Their ambition is to rule over both the Yin Yang and Yang realms, so Ghost King is their ultimate goal, and the Ghost King is the strongest ghost in this world, he has cultivated for at least a few hundred years and has also devoured quite a few high level ghost endosperm, his current endosperm is also the highest level of all the ghosts. It's said that if he can obtain his endosperm, it wouldn't take much effort to control both the Yin Yang and Yang realms.

It looks like he is really the king of thousands of ghosts. That whatever Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Curse is also very dazzling, to actually be able to seal the Ghost King, I feel that the Shaowugo, this thing must not fall into the hands of the Ghost Society! " So the two worlds of Yin and Yang are related, and there are many things I don't know about.

"I understand this logic too. I'm actually also trying my best to deal with them. I promised them that I would get it on the surface, but the outcome is not something they can predict." As for the unpolished jade gang's keepsake, the symbol of authority for the unpolished jade gang, I must take it back! "

"I'm sorry Shaowugo, it's all because of me that you gave such an important thing to him." I feel very embarrassed.

At this time, Zhang Ziyuan could no longer bear to listen: "The two of you are not done yet, after all, what if danger comes later?"

I stuck out my tongue and suddenly remembered something. Then what does Mr. Fu want this kind of thing for? He can't be thinking of going to deal with that whatever Ghost King, right? "

Zhang Shaowu spread his hands: "I don't know about that, but he's actually very strange. I don't know what's going on in his head, but I believe that he probably won't do anything bad."

After leaving from here, he might as well ask the Mr. Fu himself and make a decision. At this time, Zhang Ziyuan, who was at the side, grabbed onto my hand. Most probably, he was afraid that I would be scared, but I also grabbed onto his hand.

After walking through the long passageway, we finally arrived at the center of the first floor. From the outside, we couldn't tell that there was such a large space inside.

I looked down at the bottom of the pool and sure enough, there were all sorts of ghosts imprisoned down there, howling in pain. Some of the ghosts saw us and tried to grab us with their long arms, but they couldn't break through the shackles of the pool. It seemed like these immobile ghosts were nothing to be afraid of.

"Can we go directly to the second floor?" I thought so.

"No, there should be more troublesome things here. Don't be happy too early."

It must have been a whole day since I entered the pagoda, because I already felt that my stomach had been growling for a long time, and I really should have brought some potato chips or chocolate to replenish my body.

From the first level of Ice Demon, to the second level of Fire Ghost, it seems like there is a difficult BOSS to deal with in every level. I have already used up all of the symbols on my body, and Zhang Shaowu and I are both injured.

The biggest problem is that the pyretic lustre used up all its spiritual energy and went back to sleep on the hand ring. Although it is no longer dark, we are missing a strong helper. The worst part of it was that I received an extremely strong attack on the fourth floor. The barrier that Fu Junqing had placed around me had already shattered, leaving me without any form of safety.

We rested for a while on the fourth floor and prepared to head to the fifth floor. The seven legendary treasures should be on the fifth floor, but he didn't know what else was on the fifth floor that was hard to deal with. Now that we are exhausted, we are probably in danger if we go up.

"Are we really going up again? I think we've achieved our goal. " I gasped.

"If you don't want to go up, then wait for me here. Or go back the same way you came, I must go up and get the Yin Yang Talisman." Zhang Shaowu looked very determined.

Zhang Ziyuan seemed to also be unable to endure it any longer: "Zhang Shaowu, don't let me see through your scheme. If it was really the Ghost Society that told you to come here and take the treasure, you wouldn't have to work so hard. Since you have already come here, it's fine that you tell them that you don't have the ability to get what they want. I feel that if you insist on going to the fifth floor at all costs, it will be a matter of your own personal ambition. "

Zhang Shaowu turned around and looked at Zhang Ziyuan and me, "Whatever you think, I just want to say that I have my own reasons for doing this. You can help me or leave, I don't have any complaints."

I grabbed Zhang Ziyuan's hand and looked at him: "Zhang Ziyuan, I believe that Shaowugo is a good person and will not do anything bad. I believe that he has his own reasons. Since we're already here, we can easily win if we go up another level. Shall we accompany him up? "

Zhang Ziyuan's temper seemed to have disappeared from my gaze as he placed his hands on my shoulders: "My wife, I'm doing this for your own good, the upper management probably won't do anything good. If something were to happen to you, where can I find such a good wife?"

The sudden confession made me unprepared in my heart, even Zhang Shaowu had an awkward face, is such an obvious act of dog abuse really okay? My face reddened.
