Chapter 102 101. The Inner Hall of the Haunted House
"What should I do?"

Mo Qingxue's voice broke the brief silence between the four people.

"We can go and take a look first." Captain Luo said after a moment's silence: "The owner of the haunted house has disappeared. The entire haunted house is actually operating according to certain rules."

"For example, as long as you have a corpse oil lantern, you can summon a fire road, and you can safely pass through the gate guarded by the black flower spirit."

"In the beginning, those evil cultivators also used these rules to establish Tianguangxu."

"It's not like no one has ever entered the inner hall of the haunted house. The government has sent people in to investigate and knows some of the rules inside."

"What's your opinion?"

"Amitabha." The Buddhist monk in white robes chanted a Buddhist chant, "Since I have agreed to the Tao family's request, I have no choice but to do my duty."

"I am willing to go with the captain!"

Xu Qing didn't even think about it and shook his head:
"Lord Luo, I'm sorry."

"In the depths of Tianguang Ruins, what is the situation in the inner hall of the ghost house? Is there any danger? How big the danger is, Yinxi and I have no idea. We are only second-level cultivators now, so I am afraid we can't help you much."

Captain Luo's expression did not change when he heard this:

"The situation there is unknown. It is indeed too dangerous for you. Xiaoxue, you and the two Taoist priests stay here and wait."

"Master Liang Buhuo and I will go and take a look first."

"Yes." Mo Qingxue nodded, not being so impulsive as to shout that she wanted to go together, "Brother Luo, be careful."

"Ah."

Xu Qing watched the two lights fade away, then turned around and asked Mo Qingxue, "After entering Tianguangxu, do we have to wait until dawn to leave?"

"That's better." Mo Qingxue said seriously, "Someone once tried to leave early, but his body appeared in the city at dawn."

"There wasn't a single piece of good meat on the body. It looked as if it had been gnawed by some wild beast."

As soon as Xu Qing heard this, he gave up the idea of ​​leaving early.

This Tianguang Ruins gave him a very weird feeling, but fortunately he had just tried the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note and it still worked, which made him feel relieved.

"Since we can't leave early, let's not just sit there and wait. Let's go see what those stalls have for sale."

On the other side, Captain Luo and the Buddhist monk in white were holding lanterns, walking past the stalls one after another, and finally came to a place where there was no light at all.

The people hiding in the darkness soon noticed two lights appearing in front of the hanging flower door in the central hall.

For a moment, all kinds of whispers were heard in the stalls near the hanging flower gate.

"Another fearless person tried to break into the inner hall of the haunted house. Are the things inside so easy to take?"

"Didn't two people successfully break in last time?"

"Those two were really amazing. They went in and came out intact. You have to know that if you accidentally break certain rules there, it will lead to unpredictable changes."

"Even if a powerful person of the fifth or sixth realm enters there, he may not be able to get anything good."

"Let's make a bet on how long these two can stay in there this time? Can they escape?"

"Okay, I bet they all died in there."

"."

Captain Luo and the Buddhist monk in white raised their lanterns and used the firelight to look at the hanging flower gate that separated the front and middle yards.

This door had no door panel and was wide open, but the darkness behind it was just like the previous door, so thick that it seemed to solidify, and all eyes and lights that fell into it were swallowed up completely. "Master."

"I'll go in first, and you follow behind, Captain." The white-robed Buddhist disciple's eyes were solemn, and the causal line related to the Tao family extended all the way to the darkness behind the door.

Another causal line
"Okay." Captain Luo responded softly.

As the voice fell, he saw the light of the lantern beside him moving into the back of the hanging flower gate, so he quickly kept his mind focused and followed in.

When the Buddhist disciple in white and Captain Luo appeared in the central courtyard, the light that originally illuminated them seemed to be suppressed by something, and the flames shrank inward.

At the same time, the burning of corpse oil was visibly increasing.

Although Captain Luo had expected this, his expression still changed slightly: "Master, the burning speed of the corpse oil is accelerating. In this haunted house, if the lights go out, we may be attacked by something."

"So," the Buddhist monk in white looked at the hall in front of him, "we have limited time to explore the inner hall of this haunted house?"

"If too much corpse oil is consumed, even if we withdraw from the middle courtyard, we may not be able to stay safely until dawn when this haunted house disappears?"

"Yes."

The Buddhist monk in white motioned Captain Luo to look forward: "According to the official records, what is this human figure in the middle courtyard?"

people?
Captain Luo was startled and looked towards the lobby of the central courtyard.

Two big red lanterns, the same as the ones at the door, were hung in the corridor in front of the lobby. The turquoise candlelight shone through the red paper, emitting a very strange light.

Under the illumination of this strange light, a figure standing in front of the lobby door was outlined.

The pale face was glowing with a clear light, the cheeks were flushed with some kind of creepy blush, and the two eyeballs protruding from the eye sockets were like some kind of frog's eyes, moving restlessly up and down and left and right.

"leave here."

The lips moved up and down, and a hoarse and rough voice came out from the mouth of that thing that was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost.

Captain Luo was shocked and confused.

When did the gatekeeper appear in the haunted house's central courtyard?

According to official records, there should be no gatekeeper here!
"It seems that there have been unexpected changes here. Someone has left some means here to prevent newcomers from entering." The white-robed Buddhist's expression, which had been calm all along, finally changed.

It’s you, brother!
"Leave here, leave here" the ghost thing kept mumbling, "Kill, kill"

The Buddhist disciple in white raised the hand that was not holding the lantern, and infinite light emerged from his hand. Unfortunately, as soon as the light appeared, the surrounding darkness suddenly seemed to boil.

All kinds of shrill ghostly cries were heard from inside, and the light was suppressed all of a sudden, unable to spread around.

The white-robed Buddhist disciple's expression remained unchanged, neither surprised nor panicked. He formed a hand seal with his palm surrounded by light, and the next moment, the screams of ghosts around him disappeared.

The figures of the Buddhist disciples in white disappeared at the same time.

The rolling eyeballs on the ghost's face all stopped when the white-robed Buddhist appeared in front of it, and its sight was focused on the gradually expanding fist mark of light.

"kill!"

The ghost suddenly jumped up, and a huge ghost energy surged out of him, attracting the darkness around him, and then
Two fists collided.

The ghost thing's entire arm exploded with a "bang".

The Buddhist disciple in white took several steps back.

"Did you use the power of the haunted house?" The Buddhist disciple in white thought to himself, "But even if my Buddhist teachings conflict with this haunted house and I can only use a few methods, it should be enough to deal with this gatekeeper."
