Chapter 3848

"Little brother heard the news from Little Servant Jin 'er and immediately flew to Youwang Ghost Cave to catch up with them before they entered!

But when little brother released my divine sense, where was their trace?

Little brother was afraid that my divine sense was wrong, so I rushed to the ghost cave but still couldn't find them … "That old man hurriedly replied.

"Are you sure they have already entered?"

Zhu Cheng asked somewhat anxiously. After all, Zhu Xiang was his son and Xiao Hua was looking for You Zhongquan.

"Little brother can't be too sure …" That old man hesitated and said, "After all, today is the 60th of July, little brother can't get too close to the ghost cave …"

"Oh?

Why is it the 60th of July again? "

Xiao Hua who was listening carefully at the side was stunned. Previously, when Xiao Hua met Huang Yi at Tianmen Mountain, it was the Ghost Festival on the 60th of July. Now that he arrived at Hidden Immortal Continent, he met Huang Yi's reincarnation, Chang Yuan. He just accepted Chang Yuan as his disciple and now it was the Ghost Festival.

Even though Zhu Cheng had yet to reveal the truth, Xiao Hua already had a feeling that this matter was definitely related to the malicious ghosts and wandering souls!

But this time the one involved … is You Zhongquan.

"60th of July?!"

While Xiao Hua was stunned, Zhu Cheng's face also turned extremely pale. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "This unfilial son!

Since he knew that today is the Ghost Festival, how could he rashly enter Youwang Ghost Cave?

This … isn't this courting death?? "

"Big brother!"

That old man said in a low voice, "If you want to seal the ghost cave, you can only use the blood essence of my Zhu family's son during the Ghost Festival!"

"Even I don't dare to do this kind of thing, how can he cultivate?" Although Zhu Cheng called him an unfilial son, he still worried about Zhu Xiang's safety.

"This … isn't this all because of big brother?" That old man stole a glance at Zhu Cheng and muttered in a low voice.

"Fellow Immortal Zhu, at this time … you still don't want to tell the truth?" Xiao Hua said indifferently, "If so, don't blame me for not caring anymore!"

"Ai, benefactor!"

Zhu Cheng bowed and said, "It's not that I don't dare to tell benefactor the truth. Benefactor is a Daoist cultivator, although you are proficient in Confucian cultivation, but … this matter involves ghosts of the netherworld, which is not something ordinary cultivators can deal with. I don't want to drag benefactor into this trouble!"

"Oh, so this Xiao has wronged you!"

Seeing Zhu Cheng's sincerity, Xiao Hua nodded and said, "However, since this Xiao has come here because of You Zhongquan, this matter is already related to this Xiao. Unless this Xiao leaves and no longer cares about You Zhongquan's life or death, do you think this Xiao will not get involved?"

"Wuuu …" Just as Zhu Cheng was about to speak again, a chilly wind blew in the hall again. Even the night sky outside the hall was filled with strange hissing sounds.

"Ghost Parade!!" Xiao Hua raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"That's right. If today is the 60th of July, this is the precursor to the Hundred Ghosts Parade!"

Zhu Cheng smiled bitterly. "But it's not time yet. The ghosts are still stirring in the Ghost Cave!"

"Si … The Ghost Cave is near the Zhu Clan Village?

Then the disaster in Wuyuan County … is it related to the Ghost Cave? "Xiao Hua suddenly realized and asked while sucking in a breath of cold air.

Zhu Cheng looked at Xiao Hua and bit his lips. He first nodded, then shook his head and said, "Daoist Xiao, the disaster in Feng Xiang Country is similar to the nearby countries. The disaster in Wuyuan County is also similar to the nearby counties. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to say that the disaster in Wuyuan County is related to the Ghost Cave.

However … I don't know what Daoist Xiao saw in Wuyuan County, but the filth in the dark is much more serious than the other places.

In particular, the yin energy in Wuyuan County is heavy. Some things that are hard for ordinary people to understand are often found. These should be related to the Ghost Cave. "

"Do the people in Wuyuan County know?" Xiao Hua's eyes narrowed. He looked at the night sky outside the hall and asked thoughtfully.

Zhu Cheng shook his head. "How could I dare to let them know?"

"Although the people in Wuyuan County are ordinary people, they are still people. They should have the right to know!" Xiao Hua said word by word, "You shouldn't hide it from them."

"But …" Zhu Cheng said awkwardly, "These Ghost Caves need the Yang energy of living people to suppress them. If the people in Wuyuan County knew about this, wouldn't Wuyuan County be empty?

Without the Yang energy, the Ghost Cave will be even more destructive. My Zhu Clan Village won't be able to … "

At this point, Zhu Cheng suddenly realized something and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Xiao Hua's expression slightly changed. He withdrew his gaze from the night sky and stared at Zhu Cheng. "Fellow Daoist Zhu, your Zhu Clan has always been guarding this place. Could it be … that you are guarding the Ghost Cave?"

Zhu Cheng did not reply. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the portrait of Zhu Xi. After half a cup of tea's time, the dozen or so Zhu Clan disciples behind Zhu Cheng, who were qualified to enter the hall, lowered their heads and stared at the ground. They appeared to be somewhat sorrowful and aggrieved, but there was more pride in their eyes.

"That's right!"

Zhu Cheng said, "Our Zhu Clan's ancestors taught us that this matter is our Zhu Clan's secret. Zhu Clan's disciples must never leak it out. Now that benefactor has given our Zhu Clan a new lease on life, you are not an outsider. Since benefactor has seen through it, this humble one will not go against the ancestor's teachings."

"En, this Xiao understands.

You are the backbone of Confucian cultivators. You are the support of the Hidden Immortal Continent! "

Xiao Hua sighed. "Only by silently contributing and silently shouldering the burden can the human race of the Hidden Immortal Continent prosper.

Thank you for your hard work. "

"Benefactor is too kind!"

Zhu Cheng's face blushed. He shook his head and said, "Although our Zhu Clan's ancestors left behind instructions for our Zhu Clan's descendants to guard the Zhu Clan Village for generations.

But the curse of our Zhu Clan for generations … can only be alleviated by relying on the Yin energy of this Ghost Cave. Therefore, even if our Zhu Clan's descendants want to leave the Zhu Clan Village, they can't!

I won't hide it from benefactor. That day, when the king of the Bronze Pillar State captured my Zhu Clan, this humble one also had the will to die. I simply don't want to fall into this burden left behind by our ancestors!

This burden is not something that ordinary people can imagine!! "

Looking at Zhu Cheng's slightly aged appearance, Xiao Hua suddenly understood the pain in this old man's heart. This pain is not only the physical pain, but also the pain of the curse. More importantly, it is the pain of the responsibility in the heart. The responsibility that cannot be spoken by others and is harmed by others.

If the Zhu Clan was rejected by the curse and Confucian cultivator aristocratic family, they could naturally give up the mission of guarding the Ghost Cave and let the Yin energy of the Ghost Cave spread, turning Wuyuan County and even Feng Xiang Country into a ghost region. However, the Zhu Clan chose to endure the humiliation. Moreover, this humiliation has been endured for thousands of years. This pain, if not for the great Confucian aristocratic family that produced Sage Zhu, how could they bear it?

Suddenly, Xiao Hua seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Zhu Cheng, since Zhu Xiang has already fallen into the Ghost Cave, you … why are you still not worried?

Previously, you said that only the blood essence of the Zhu Clan's descendant can seal the Ghost Cave … what does this mean? "

"Benefactor, everything is too late!"

A trace of redness appeared on Zhu Cheng's face. He shook his head and said, "The Yin energy of the Ghost Cave is extremely heavy. Every hundred years, it must be sealed once. And this seal's array is the blood essence of my Zhu Clan's descendant!

And the most glorious mission of my Zhu Clan's successive patriarchs is to seal this Ghost Cave!

Using their own flesh and blood to block this Ghost Cave that can swallow the Hidden Immortal Continent!! "

Zhu Cheng's words once again shook Xiao Hua's heart. What he saw today was really beyond his expectations. Every time a thin veil was removed from the Zhu Clan's matters, it would shock him.

"Xiang 'er is my Zhu Clan's descendant. Although he is not the patriarch, as long as he enters the Ghost Cave, he will immediately be attracted by the seal inside the Ghost Cave. Other than using his life to trigger the seal … there is no other outcome!

Even if Daoist Master rushes to the Ghost Cave now, he will not be able to change this outcome! "

Zhu Cheng smiled bitterly again and said, "This outcome … I did not completely explain it to Xiang 'er. I only vaguely told him some things. I only wanted him to know that his father's life is not long. He must change his shortcomings and be prepared to take over the Zhu Clan's patriarch position and shoulder the heavy burden of the Zhu Clan's ancestral teachings.

However, he must have misunderstood and thought that as long as the Ghost Cave's seal was sealed, You Zhongquan and the other young cultivators were also invited by him to reinforce the seal, right? "

"Sigh!" Hearing this, how could Xiao Hua not understand the indecisive Zhu Xiang's filial piety?

He originally wanted to blame Zhu Xiang, but facing this kind of filial piety, how could he still open his mouth?

"Zhu Cheng!" Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, "Follow this Xiao …"

"Benefactor, this is …" Zhu Cheng was somewhat puzzled. He followed a few steps and asked.

At this time, Xiao Hua had already walked out of the hall. He squinted his eyes and looked at the full moon that poked its head out from behind the dark clouds in the sky. He said indifferently, "Since this Xiao encountered this matter, how can I not help?

Moreover, You Zhongquan is currently in the Ghost Cave, this Xiao has no choice but to go and take a look! "

Seeing this, Zhu Cheng said anxiously, "Benefactor, you don't understand!

This matter is far from what benefactor's current divine ability can … "

"This Xiao understands very well!" Xiao Hua's figure flew into the air and said loudly, "Take this Xiao to the Ghost Cave!"

"Wuu …" Almost at the same time as Xiao Hua, there seemed to be someone in the distance who was screaming at the top of his voice. Moreover, this scream spread far and wide in the night sky.

"How can this be?"

Zhu Cheng's face turned pale. Clouds also appeared under his feet and his figure rushed into the sky. Purple light and cloud threads flashed between his eyes.

Xiao Hua was the first to fly into the air. His divine sense looked towards the source of the sound, but the strange thing was, other than ordinary mountain rocks and trees, he couldn't see anything strange at all with his divine sense.

When he looked at Zhu Cheng again, not only was his face deathly pale, his lips were also trembling, as if he had seen something inconceivable.

Xiao Hua looked at Zhu Cheng's flashing purple light. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of what he saw in the Tianmen Mountain. He knew that Daoist divine sense had no effect on ghosts.

Therefore, he used his hand to point at the space between his eyebrows and softly said, "Ji …". He opened his Dharma Eye and used the Buddhist Sect's Heavenly Eye. "Si …" When Xiao Hua saw everything clearly, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air again …
