Chapter 1261

There was a cave dwelling hidden in the underground palace; who could guess this, who could find it?

Just by observing, the mysteries on this He fellow were truly getting more and more, endless, simply endless.

The more he associated with this person, the more unfathomable he felt.

He Lingchuan smiled at him and answered insincerely: "I have a natural gift."

He casually wrung his hair dry and took the lead in walking into the cave.

Everyone went in and saw that the mountain cave wasn't deep; although spacious, there was no other exit, and one could see that it had been dug out into two rooms, inside and outside.

The outer room had an offering table carved directly on the stone wall; the spiritual turtle pattern on the surface was very detailed, and there was still a little gold powder remaining.

Two stone-carved lotus candle holders on the table both had traces of use, and the bottom was connected to the stone table.

There was probably a statue placed on the offering table, but time was ruthless, and the wood had rotted, leaving only two small pieces scattered on the stone surface, long since unable to see the original appearance.

The gaze of the three was fixed on this offering table, without blinking, because there was another thing on the table: a pitch-black wooden box.

The box was only the size of a palm, half-new and half-old, and the four corners were all polished into a patina.

Looking closely, there was a pattern on the box: a thick, twisted old peach tree, bearing fruit.

He Lingchuan raised his hand and pointed at it: "Be careful."

Approaching this box, the Divine Bone Necklace became even hotter.

Fu Liushan smeared some medicinal powder under his nose; it smelled very spicy, and Dong Rui sneezed twice from far away: "What is this?"

"Ghost-repelling medicinal powder." Fu Liushan replied. "To prevent ghosts from possessing the body."

He was also afraid that there would be a ghost in this box, and it would rush out to sneak attack him as soon as it was opened.

After making preparations, he raised the pestle tip with one hand and was about to open the box with the other, but He Lingchuan said: "Let me do it."

He volunteered, and Fu Celestial Master immediately gave up his seat without a word, and took out medicinal powder for him to apply.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "I don't need it."

So far, no one had successfully possessed him, not even the Naluo Heaven clone.

He held the Soul-Absorbing Mirror on his left arm and drew his blade like lightning with his right hand, prying open the box lid at once.

Hidden in the Ghost King's underground palace, something that could be missed by the Divine Bone Necklace was mostly not a good thing.

Having experienced the Ghost King's self-detonation earlier, the three had already prepared for a big monster to jump out of the box.

However, there wasn't.

The secret room was quiet, the offering table was empty, and the opened box didn't show any abnormality.

Simply put, there wasn't even a ghost shadow.

The three leaned over to look at the box, and Ling Guang squeaked, surprised: "What is this!"

They didn't expect that this box was actually a miniature bonsai!

A peach tree grew in the soil at the bottom of the box; the leaves were lush green, looking like it had some years on it, the bark cracked, and there were old knots everywhere.

"Isn't this the pattern on the box?"

The bonsai in the box and the pattern on the box lid were exactly the same.

"Not the same." Fu Liushan stretched out his pestle tip and carefully pushed away the dense tree crown. "Look!"

His voice was exceptionally serious.

The crowd leaned over to look, and the hair on their backs stood up:

There was a human face growing on the trunk! To be precise, it was a ghost face, the face of the Profound Lu Ghost King! Fu Liushan's act of pushing the tree crown didn't disturb it; this ghost face still closed its eyes tightly, looking peaceful.

Dong Rui subconsciously lowered his voice: "What kind of thing is this!"

"I'm afraid this is the main body and origin of Xuan Lu!"

"Is it sleeping?" Dong Rui was also knowledgeable.

"I estimate that it split too many clones, its power was too depleted, and this wisp of origin fell into a long sleep." Fu Liushan stared at the ghost face. "Without dealing with the main body, it's useless even if we kill more clones. After a long time, it will recover its vitality!"

"How to deal with it?" Dong Rui examined this human-faced peach tree. "Cut it down directly?"

It seemed that could only be the case.

Without delay, He Lingchuan slashed with his blade, and the peach tree broke at the waist.

These two guys, did they forget there was a Celestial Master on the side? Did they forget that catching ghosts was the Celestial Master's duty? Fu Liushan watched from the side, turning on the secret complaining mode.

However, he seemed to have gradually gotten used to He Lingchuan's overstepping.

The broken trunk hadn't fallen yet, and He Lingchuan wiped his palm across his chest, then leaned toward the peach tree.

Fu Liushan leaned down and tilted his head to look.

This time, he had to see clearly what treasure He Lingchuan was hiding in his palm! With a "whoosh," the fallen human-faced peach tree disappeared.

Fu Liushan vaguely saw a dark gray shadow in He Lingchuan's palm, but before he had time to identify it, that thing disappeared.

He Lingchuan opened his palm to him, and his palm was empty again.

Fu Liushan was a bit stunned: "Just like that, all done?"

Making waves for three hundred years, with no one able to do anything about it, the Profound Lu Ghost King ended up so quietly and peacefully? In the end, there wasn't even a struggle.

"Yes, all done." The moment the human-faced peach tree was sucked away by the Divine Bone Necklace, He Lingchuan truly felt relieved.

As long as it entered the Great Fang Hu, no matter how capable the Ghost King was, it couldn't turn the sky.

Go be fertilizer obediently.

"The Ghost King won't appear again, will it?" Fu Liushan remembered that when he collected the Luo Sheng Armor, He Lingchuan also said this.

He Lingchuan smiled at him: "You understand me."

After the Divine Bone Necklace ate Xuan Lu's main body, it calmed down.

This guy was very picky, having no reaction when encountering the Ghost King's clones earlier; it turned out it was only interested in the main body.

However, He Lingchuan also discovered one thing:

Strictly speaking, the Profound Lu Ghost King wasn't completely eaten by the Divine Bone Necklace.

At that moment, a wisp of black smoke was drawn out from the human-faced peach tree and thrown into the Qianglong Armor.

Intercepting?

This was the first time the Great Fang Hu had encountered someone snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

Speaking of which, the grudge between the Luo Sheng Armor and the Profound Lu Ghost King was finally settled.

Fu Liushan rolled his eyes: "I don't, not at all."

But for some reason, when He Lingchuan said this, he felt quite at ease.

Since it was also taken away by He Lingchuan, the Ghost King couldn't harm the world anymore, right? Just like the Luo Sheng Armor.

He didn't know how He Lingchuan did it; at least so far, the Luo Sheng Armor had been very docile under He Lingchuan, and He Lingchuan hadn't shown any signs of losing control or being abnormal.

"This box—" he touched the box lightly with the pestle tip. "It's probably the legendary soul box, soul urn, or something like that."

"Meaning besides placing souls, it has other uses?"

"If it's for placing souls, ordinary deep-sea wood is enough." Fu Liushan was a qualified Celestial Master, especially knowledgeable about the ghost path. "The Fu family notes once recorded that some soul tools have special effects; besides nourishing souls, they can also endow new energy to the souls residing in them."

Dong Rui had been observing this soul box, and at this time pointed to it: "There are small characters on the side."

Written in ancient immortal language, the content was simple: This treasure is called the Peach Valley Soul Box, capable of detaining souls, nourishing souls, and splitting souls.
