The sky was still gray and there was no wind.

The huge inn hall was full of ghosts waiting on both sides of the gate.These ghosts are the new souls of Qin Qian and his party.The leading judge bowed respectfully, looking in awe at the carriage slowly approaching the inn not far away.

The sound of horseshoes from far to near seems to be beating on the hearts of every ghost, making them nervous involuntarily.

Qin Qian and Xi Tianyuan stood near the gate, next to the judge.When the two heard the sound of horseshoes, they secretly looked up.

I saw that the street was different from the past, and there were no ghosts.All the vendors closed the doors of the shops tightly as if they had discussed it in advance.But if you look carefully, you can see that the doors of the stores facing the street are all opened with a small gap, and the pairs of eyes hidden behind the doors can be vaguely seen through the gap.

Three shiny black horses came driving, they were much taller than the horses in the human world, and they had a pair of huge black wings on their backs, apparently only beasts in the ghost world.There are three carriages pulled behind the horses, and the front of each carriage is covered with a thick curtain, making it impossible for people to see the layout and figures inside the carriage.

In fact, this carriage arrived in Requiem City three days ago, and it only showed up today.As for why this is so, only the ghost in the carriage knows.

The carriage stopped at the door of the inn.

The judge hurriedly lowered his head, and said loudly: "The gatekeeper of Requiem City, the judge, is here to welcome all of you here."

"Hmm." A man's voice without emotion came from the carriage in the middle, low and inexplicable coercion.

The moment Qin Qian heard the man's voice, his eyes became subtle. The voice seemed familiar?

On the side of the carriage, three black-clothed ghosts wearing black cloaks walked out of the carriages on the left and right sides respectively. These three ghosts were different from the other ghosts in Requiem City.Their bodies are almost condensed into substance, and in appearance they are similar to mortals in the human world.However, as can be seen from the chins exposed under their hoods, their skin color is pure white, which is still somewhat different from ordinary people.

After the three black-clothed ghosts got out of the carriage, they knelt down on one knee beside the carriage with a reserved expression, and greeted the ghost sitting in the middle carriage.

A pale and slender hand opened the door curtain, and the ghost in black who also wore a black cloak jumped out of the carriage.That ghost exuded a powerful murderous aura, just looking at it made people feel scalp numb and frightened.He is obviously not tall, but it gives people the illusion that what he is facing is not a ghost, but a towering mountain.

Qin Qian and Xi Tianyuan lowered their heads, looked at each other calmly, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This ghost is by no means simple.

The leader of the black-clothed ghost waved his hand, and the three kneeling black-clothed ghosts dared to get up and stood behind him with their heads down.

The leader of the black-clothed ghost raised his mouth slightly, and his voice was cold: "The selection this time is very simple. You only need to go to the Abyss of Nothingness for a day and a night. If you can come back intact at this time tomorrow, you will pass the first selection." round of tests."

As soon as these words came out, the leading judge and the three black-clothed ghost attendants all changed their colors.

The Void Abyss is not far from Requiem City, and it is a forbidden place.There is poisonous smoke all the year round, and a hundred ghosts can't get close.I don't know where the poisonous smoke came from, and as soon as the ghost approached, it would be spontaneously combusted and die.Fortunately, the smoke only lingered near the Abyss of Nothingness, and did not spread into Requiem City.Otherwise, this place has already become a veritable dead city.

The words of the leading ghost in black undoubtedly sent this group of new ghosts to their deaths!

Although the new ghost who stood by the door to welcome the guards had stayed in Requiem City for three days, the Void Abyss was a forbidden place, and ordinary ghosts seldom talked about it.So they don't know the horror of the Abyss of Nothingness, they just think of it as a secret place in the ghost world, just like some ancient ruins in the mortal world, although dangerous, but if they just stay in it for a day and a night, they just need to find a safe place It's good to hide in the corner of the corner. Although there are risks, it is not difficult in general.

Several ghosts were relieved to hear this request.Only a few ghosts, Qin Qian and Xi Tianyuan noticed the change in the judge's face, and their hearts sank.

What could be a good place for the judge to show such an expression?

Qin Qian saw the happy faces of the new souls around him, and sarcasm flashed in their eyes.Turning his gaze, he looked at the leader of the black-clothed ghost with an unpredictable expression.

After the leader of the ghost in black finished speaking, he turned and returned to the carriage, and the three attendants followed immediately.The black steed neighed, suddenly rose into the air, flew towards a certain direction, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The judge regained his senses, his expression fluctuated, and finally became expressionless.He stood up straight, turned to look at a dozen new souls, and said, "You should have heard the words of the guards. The Abyss of Nothingness..." He paused, and then continued, "It's the one near Requiem City. A secret place, where there are many dangers, and you will die if you are not careful. I will stop here, and it will depend on your own destiny. Come with me."

The judge sighed inaudibly, and walked forward first, followed by a group of ghosts with different expressions.

Xi Tianyuan walked beside Qin Qian, staring indifferently at the front, but quietly stretched out his hand in the white long sleeve.The fingers with clear bones passed through the gap between Qin Qian's fingers, and the fingers were interlocked and clenched tightly.His voice came from his consciousness: "The Abyss of Nothingness seems unusual, we don't want to get separated later. It's better to hold hands."

Qin Qian glanced sideways at Xi Tianyuan, and the smile in his black eyes was fleeting: "Okay."

The corner of Xi Tianyuan's eyes caught this point, and the corner of his mouth turned up slightly.

From the inn to the Abyss of Nothingness, the ghosts didn't take long, and they arrived at the periphery of Abyss of Nothingness in a short while.At the periphery, there is no grass, only a few dead trees and vines lying on the black ground, like the exhausted corpse of an old man.Different from the windless situation in Requiem City, here is a gloomy wind, which makes people's spine feel chilly.Several ghosts couldn't help shivering.The end of the path was filled with a puff of green smoke, which could not be seen clearly at a distance.

The green smoke was so thick that it completely blocked the ghost's sight.What's even more strange is that the smoke can not only block the sight, but even block the consciousness. Even a powerful person with a high level of cultivation is almost like a blind person here.

The judge stopped a few hundred meters away from the green smoke, as if he was very afraid of the smoke.He hastily ordered a few words, nothing more than that the depth of the green smoke is the abyss of nothingness, and they all need to go in along the green smoke.And he will stay here, waiting for a day and a night.The last ghost that can come out safely is the winner of the first round.After he finished speaking, he urged the ghost to go on the road.

All the ghosts bowed their hands to the judge, and walked towards the green smoke at the end of the path together.What they don't know is that for most of their ghosts, this will be a dead end.

The judge stood where he was, a trace of pity flashed in his usually indifferent eyes.In his opinion, this group of ghosts will surely die.

As the footsteps progressed, the ghosts quickly came to the edge of the green smoke.The green smoke is rolling, but it seems to be restrained by an invisible force, and it only moves within the edge, without a trace of green smoke overflowing, revealing an indescribable treachery.The ghost of a middle-aged man at the head said: "This smoke looks a little weird, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to approach it rashly."

Another younger ghost disagreed and said: "Brother Wang is serious. The green smoke here is just ordinary marsh gas. If even the smoke is so terrible, isn't this trip going to send us to death? I heard that the ghost king is wise and powerful. He can come out like this. This kind of exam question must have been carefully considered. It won't be too difficult at the beginning, and the real danger lies in the Abyss of Nothingness, not at this entrance."

What he said was well-founded, and many ghosts nodded in agreement after hearing it.

Seeing this, the young man became more and more convinced of his opinion.Without waiting for the middle-aged man to refute, he walked towards Lu Yan with a smile: "Just wait and see..." While speaking, one foot had already stepped into the range of Lu Yan.

Halfway through the conversation, he stopped abruptly.

There was a look of horror on the young man's face, and before he could even scream, his translucent body was quickly swallowed by the green will-o'-the-wisp, and burned completely, leaving no trace of the fluorescence of his soul.

The fierce appearance suddenly appeared, and those ghosts who were about to follow were scared back three or four steps in an instant, staring at the tumbling green smoke in shock, as if they were facing an enemy.

The expressions of Qin Qian and Xi Tianyuan also changed.

There was a dead silence in the air.

After a long while, a ghost said weakly: "What should we do now? We can't even enter the entrance of the Abyss of Nothingness, how can we pass the test, the ghost king..." Isn't it true that they are sent to die?The latter half of the sentence was unspeakable.

The ghosts looked terrified, and they obviously thought of something with the ghost who spoke.

At this time, a deep laughter broke the stagnant atmosphere: "Actually, there is nothing to embarrass. Didn't your lord judge say that if you fail the test, you will just escape into reincarnation. After 18 years, you will be a hero again. If you don't want to If you lost your life in order to pass the test, you can go back now and explain the situation to the judge. There is no need to get entangled here."

These words were like a thunderbolt that made all the ghosts wake up instantly. That's right, they were all thinking about how to pass the test to get the appreciation of the ghost king, but they forgot that they can actually abstain.Compared with life, the ghost king's appreciation is not so important.Even if you want to make a fortune, you have to live to enjoy it, right?

Among the fifteen ghost monks, ten ghosts immediately thanked Qin Qian who said this: "Thank you brother Qin for reminding us that we were in a daze just now." He walked towards the way he came without looking back.

Including Qin Qian and Xi Tianyuan, there are only five ghosts left.

"It seems that the rest of you are the same as the next one, and they are determined to serve His Royal Highness the Ghost King." Qin Qiang looked at the three ghosts opposite.

One of the ghosts, a man with a handsome face and shrewd eyes, said: "It is a rare opportunity to serve His Royal Highness the Ghost King, and we cherish it very much. I think Brother Qin is calm and composed, as if he has a plan in mind, but with A trick to avoid this green smoke?"
