Chapter 778 Ghost Amulet!
They took a deep breath, held hands, and walked into the light door together.
On the other side of the light gate is an ancient temple full of mystery.
The walls of the temple are carved with various strange patterns, and a huge altar is placed in the center. On the altar are two sparkling artifacts.
"It seems that we have found the remaining two artifacts." Luo Chen said, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, but more of excitement.
Qingshuang stepped forward and carefully picked up the two artifacts.
The moment she touched the artifact, the entire temple began to shake, and rays of light shot out from the altar, forming a huge ball of light.
"Luochen, look!" Qingshuang exclaimed.
Luo Chen looked up and saw a vague figure appearing in the light ball. The figure gradually became clear, and it was the patron saint.
"Congratulations, you have completed the trial and found three artifacts." The voice of the patron saint echoed in the temple.
"Now, you can use these three artifacts to open the door to the real world." The patron saint continued.
Luochen and Qingshuang followed the instructions of the patron saint and placed the three artifacts at specific locations on the altar.
The artifacts began to resonate with each other, emitting a dazzling light. The light gradually converged into a huge light gate.
"Go through this light door and you will be able to return to the real world." The voice of the patron saint sounded again.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not hesitate, they knew that this was their only chance.
They held each other's hands tightly and stepped into the light door together.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that they had returned to the real world.
They stood in front of the crystal ball, and everything around them seemed so familiar.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in front of the light door, looking at each other, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes.
They experienced countless challenges and tests and finally returned to the real world, but they felt unspeakable loss and confusion in their hearts.
"We are really back." Qingshuang's voice contained a hint of uncertainty, as if everything was like a dream.
Luo Chen nodded heavily, and then said: "We're back, but we have to leave here first. Everything here is extremely weird, which makes me feel uneasy..."
Qingshuang nodded.
Afterwards, the two left the place as quickly as possible.
As for the ancient parchment used to explore this place, the two of them also discarded it directly on the way.
It's better to throw away such an ominous thing as soon as possible.
...
A few days later.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to the market where immortal cultivators gathered.
The market is still very lively, with monks of all kinds passing through, trading, communicating, or simply enjoying the prosperity of the market.
Luochen and Qingshuang seemed a little out of place, with the aftermath of that adventure still echoing in their hearts.
"We are really back." Qingshuang said softly again, with a trace of trance in her eyes, as if she was still reminiscing about that fantasy journey.
Luochen nodded and looked around, feeling a little reassured by the familiar feeling.
"Yes, it will be good to be back, but no one seems to believe everything we have experienced."
Qingshuang smiled slightly, "So what? We just know it ourselves. Those artifacts and the patron saint are our common secrets."
The two of them were walking side by side on the bustling street when Luo Chen suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a small teahouse.
"Let's go in and sit down. There are some things I want to talk to you about."
Qingshuang nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the teahouse and found a quiet corner to sit down.
Luochen ordered two cups of tea. The aroma of tea brought them a sense of tranquility.
"Qingshuang." Luo Chen said, "Although we are back, I feel that we still have a lot to do."
Qingshuang looked at him curiously, "What are you referring to?"
"Of course it's another secret realm..."
"I still have the map of the secret realm given by Xuan Jizi, the elder of Tianji Pavilion!"
Luochen took out the yellowed secret map from his arms and carefully spread it on the table.
Qingshuang took a closer look and saw some strange symbols and routes marked on the map, which seemed to point to an unknown territory.
"This secret realm is said to hide even more powerful power and secrets."
Luo Chen whispered, with a searching light shining in his eyes.
Qingshuang nodded slightly, knowing that what Luo Chen said was not nonsense.
In the world of immortality, every secret may hide an opportunity to change your destiny.
"We've been through so much, don't you want to keep exploring?"
Luochen asked, his voice full of expectation.
Qingshuang smiled slightly, she already had the answer in her heart.
A firm light flashed in Qingshuang's eyes, and she replied softly: "Of course, Luo Chen. We have come this far, how can we give up halfway?"
When Luo Chen heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fresh aroma of tea seemed to dissipate some of the fog in his heart.
"Then let's prepare and head to this secret realm."
Luo Chen said, with unquestionable firmness in his voice.
Qingshuang nodded. She knew that this would be a new adventure, perhaps more dangerous than the previous one, but she believed that as long as she was with Luochen, nothing was impossible.
The two sat in the teahouse for a while and discussed some details about the secret realm and the possible dangers.
They decided to collect some necessary information and supplies before setting off.
After leaving the teahouse, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to ask around in the market for news about the secret realm.
They found some experienced old monks and asked them for advice.
Although these old monks knew little about the secret realm, they still provided some useful information.
"The secret realm controlled by the Tianji Pavilion? It is said that the secret realm is called the Endless Netherworld, which is full of various unknown dangers. You must be careful." An old monk reminded.
"Endless Netherworld?" Luo Chen repeated, frowning slightly, "It does sound like a place that is not easy to deal with."
Qing Shuang seemed calmer, "No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go and find out."
They bought some necessities in the market, including some elixirs to restore true qi, defensive magic tools, and some talisman paper that can be used to explore the way.
After buying these, the two went to another auction.
It just so happened that there was a relatively important auction to be held today.
And generally, the most important things often appear at the auction site.
So, the two had to go and take a look.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stepped into the auction hall, where there were a lot of people, and various immortal cultivators were standing or sitting, talking to each other in low voices.
The items on the auction table were displayed one by one, and each one caused quite a stir.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's eyes shuttled through the crowd. They knew that what they were looking for today might be a treasure that could help them survive in the endless ghost.
"Look over there." Qing Shuang gently touched Luo Chen's elbow and pointed to a corner.
There stood a man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, playing with a seemingly ordinary jade pendant in his hand.
Luo Chen followed Qing Shuang's gaze and his heart moved.
Although the jade pendant looked ordinary, it faintly emitted a strange fluctuation, which seemed to be extraordinary.
"Let's go and take a look." Luo Chen suggested.
The two walked through the crowd and came to the black-robed man.
The man seemed to have noticed their arrival, raised his head slightly, and revealed a pair of deep eyes.
"Are the two Taoists interested in this jade pendant?" The man's voice was low and magnetic.
"I wonder what the magic of this thing is?" Qingshuang asked directly.
The black-robed man smiled slightly and handed the jade pendant to Qingshuang, "This jade pendant is called the 'Ghost Amulet'. It is said that it can resist a fatal attack, but it will break after use."
Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
In the world of immortal cultivation, life-saving treasures are rare. Such things are undoubtedly a timely help for the adventure they are about to face.
"I wonder how much you want?" Luo Chen asked.
The black-robed man pondered for a moment and quoted a price.
Although Luo Chen and Qingshuang felt that the price was not cheap, considering the value of the jade pendant, they decided to buy it.
After the transaction was completed, Luo Chen carefully put away the ghost amulet, and the two continued to look for items that might be useful to them in the auction.
However, the next few items, although precious, were not as attractive to them as the Ghost Amulet.
When the auction ended, it was getting dark.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the auction and walked back to the inn.
"With the Ghost Amulet, we have a better chance of going to the Endless Netherworld." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang nodded, but her expression was a little solemn, "Although we have the amulet, we still need to be careful. The danger of the Endless Netherworld cannot be completely resolved by a treasure."
Luo Chen patted Qing Shuang's shoulder gently, "Don't worry, don't we still have each other?"
Qing Shuang smiled slightly, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "Yes, with you, I am fearless."
After returning to the inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to sort out the supplies and information they had collected.
They decided to make a detailed plan before setting off to ensure that every step was as safe as possible.
A few days later, everything was ready.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the edge of the market, looking at the desolate path leading to the Endless Youtan, with both expectation and trepidation in their hearts.
"Are we really going to do this?" Qing Shuang asked softly.
Luo Chen turned to look at her, his eyes full of determination, "We have come this far, there is no turning back, Qing Shuang, no matter what is ahead, we must face it together."
Qing Shuang took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, then we will move forward together."
The two set foot on the road to the Endless Youtan side by side.
As they walked, the surrounding scenery gradually became desolate, and the air was filled with an unsettling atmosphere.
"Luo Chen, look over there." Qing Shuang suddenly pointed to a stone tablet not far ahead.
Luo Chen looked in the direction of Qing Shuang's finger, and saw that the stone tablet was engraved with several ancient characters, as if warning the passing travelers.
"This should be the entrance to the Endless Youtan." Luo Chen said.
Qing Shuang nodded, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms, waved it gently, and the talisman paper turned into a ray of light, illuminating the road ahead.
"Let's go, Luo Chen." Qingshuang's voice was firm.
The two of them set foot on the path behind the stone tablet, and went deeper into the heart of Wujinyoutan step by step.
As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more strange, and strange sounds came from all directions from time to time.
"Be careful, something seems to be wrong here." Luo Chen whispered.
Qingshuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly, and she could feel the warmth of Luo Chen's palm, which made her feel more at ease.
"No matter what happens, we have to face it together." Qingshuang said again.
Luo Chen nodded, and they continued to move forward, taking every step carefully.
Suddenly, a strong vibration came from the ground, and the two hurriedly stabilized their bodies.
"What's going on?" Qingshuang was surprised and doubtful.
Luo Chen frowned, and he looked around, trying to find the source of the vibration.
"Look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a huge crack not far ahead.
Black mist gushed out of the crack, and something seemed to be wriggling in the mist.
"What is that?" Luo Chen's voice was a little nervous.
Qingshuang shook her head, and she had never seen such a scene before.
The two held their breath and slowly approached the crack.
As the distance got closer, they finally saw what was in the mist clearly - it was a group of hideous monsters, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.
"We must be careful." Luo Chen whispered.
Qingshuang nodded, and she took out a talisman paper from her waist, ready to deal with possible attacks.
At this moment, a monster suddenly rushed out of the mist and rushed straight towards Luo Chen.
Qingshuang reacted quickly, and the talisman paper in her hand instantly turned into a flame and hit the monster.
The monster let out a shrill howl, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of black water.
"These monsters seem to be very sensitive to talismans." Qingshuang said.
Luo Chen nodded, he took out a few pills from his arms and handed them to Qingshuang, "These pills can temporarily increase our strength, maybe they can help us get through the difficulties."
Qingshuang took the pills, and after the two took them, they felt the surging of true energy in their bodies and their strength increased greatly.
"Let's keep moving forward." Luo Chen said.
They carefully bypassed the cracks and continued to go deeper into the Endless Youtan.
As they went deeper, they encountered more and more monsters, and the battle became more intense.
"Luo Chen, look over there!" Qing Shuang suddenly pointed to a high platform in front.
On the high platform, a huge stone door stood, and the stone door was engraved with complex runes.
"That should be the entrance to the depths of the Endless Youtan." Luo Chen said.
The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
They knew that the real challenge had just begun.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the stone door step by step. The monsters around seemed to sense their intentions and became more violent.
The two approached the stone door while fighting.
