Chapter 3480 The Mystery of the Ancient Temple
Outside the ruins of the ancient temple, Chen Mu's body had just landed.
He squinted and looked at the ruins.
In front of me, the soul-condensing lamp floated beside the ruins of the ancient temple.
"Brother Mu, why are you here?"
Behind him, Yue Mei followed closely.
"That old woman is missing a soul."
After Chen Mu said that, he looked at the ruins.
"Could it be that her soul will still come here?"
Yue Mei was surprised. It is said that a person's life soul carries all memories. If he really wants to return, he must go to the place he missed most during his lifetime.
Grandma Qi has a house full of children and grandchildren, so shouldn’t the place where her soul rests should be beside her children and grandchildren?
"Yue Mei, you forgot one thing. Goddesses in ancient temples cannot get married. That old woman is not as simple as we thought."
After Chen Mu said that, he stepped onto the rubble of the ruins and walked towards the central area of the ancient temple.
Yue Mei was startled, and suddenly thought that in some temples in the human world, if a woman wants to enter the temple, she must remain pure. Even if she leaves the temple later, she will not be able to marry and have children for the rest of her life.
Could it be that... Yue Mei finally realized that she, Huang Fangzun and others had been deceived by Granny Qi earlier.
Her so-called children and grandchildren are all her cover-up.
"Damn old woman..."
Yue Mei murmured.
Then I saw that Chen Mu had entered the ruins of the ancient temple.
At night, the ruins were pitch black, and the hazy moonlight shone on the already barren ground and broken walls.
Chen Mu looked around, not to mention Granny Qi's soul, not even a ghost.
"Brother Mu, are you mistaken? The old woman is not here at all."
After searching for a while, Yue Mei felt a little impatient.
This place made her feel inexplicably creepy.
Yue Mei can be considered a person who has died once, so she is naturally very courageous, but standing on these ruins, this feeling made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"She must be there, the candle is there."
Chen Mu pointed to the candle in front of him. This candle guided Chen Mu all the way.
This candle was also refined by Chen Mu after he learned the soul control technique.
Chen Mu is not an alchemist, so he cannot have powerful spiritual thoughts and perceive spiritual energy fluctuations like Ye Lingyue.
But with this candle, things are different. The candle is like his eyes, which can make his five senses and six senses extremely sharp, and he can detect many things that he would not be able to detect on ordinary days.
Suddenly, the candle flame flickered, as if it was about to go out.
Not far away, a blurry white shadow appeared.
The candle flame was raised a few inches, and the white figure became clearer and clearer.
It was a ray of soul, but...
"That is?"
Yue Mei couldn't help but be stunned.
What appeared in front of her was not Granny Qi, but a young woman in her twenties and thirties.
She has black hair that reaches to her ankles and is dressed in white. Her whole person looks like a white lotus that blooms slowly on a moonlit night.
"Grandma Qi."
After Chen Mu said that, the candle suddenly flew to the soul.
The woman seemed to be frightened and suddenly took a few steps back.
She obviously didn't expect to meet strangers here.
"How did she become like this?"
Yue Mei was surprised.
The corpse of the old woman was clearly an old man with gray hair and wrinkled skin.
"It seems that we have all been deceived. The goddess of this ancient temple has a way to preserve her beauty that we did not expect. Or maybe the ancient temple itself has an ulterior secret. Maybe that is it.
A secret treasure."
"Brother Mu, let me come."
As soon as Yue Mei's body skills changed, people were approaching her and she was about to capture Granny Qi.
Unexpectedly, Granny Qi's soul suddenly disappeared.
Yue Mei pounced in vain.
Looking back again, Granny Qi's soul was already dozens of feet away.
Yue Mei didn't believe in evil, so she went back and forth several times.
But whenever she gets close to Granny Qi, Granny Qi's life soul will disappear in an instant, as if she has used a teleportation charm.
Naturally, souls cannot use talismans. Granny Qi's life soul was spinning around right under the noses of Chen Mu and Yue Mei. Yue Mei was helpless to take it down.
"What's going on? Why is this old woman's body so weird?"
Yue Mei's face was flushed and she was panting slightly.
"It's not that her life soul is treacherous, but that this place is treacherous. Someone has set up a formation in this place, and it is an extremely powerful formation."
Chen Muleng glanced at Granny Qi's feet. Granny Qi was missing two souls and seven souls, and her spiritual consciousness was not very clear.
Whenever there is danger, she will get out of the way.
"Then what should we do? It's almost dawn. If we don't take her life and soul, her two souls and seven souls will be scattered."
Yue Mei said worriedly.
The candle refined by Chen Mu can only last for one night.
As soon as the day breaks and the candles are extinguished, the two souls and seven souls will disperse.
Once the soul is dispersed, it is not that easy to reunite it again.
"It's a formation, and there's a way to break it. I'll do it."
After Chen Mu said that, he raised his hand. The moment he raised his hand, his body did not move.
But behind it, the mysterious coffin of the Dark Territory appeared again.
The lid of the underworld coffin was opened, and a large number of black lines suddenly grew inside the coffin.
Those black lines were only as thick as hair at first, but over time, they became as thick as veins. Gradually, they bulged on the coffin, like vines, bending and twisting.
Only a few "swish" sounds were heard, and the black-striped vines shot out.
They criss-crossed in mid-air, forming a network.
The Hades Net can not only control the physical body, but even the soul cannot escape if it encounters it.
Granny Qi's life soul was instantly enveloped by the net of hell.
At the critical moment, Granny Qi's figure disappeared again.
The next moment, she appeared among a pile of rubble behind Chen Mu and disappeared immediately.
This time, Granny Qi did not appear again.
She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There was no trace of her soul in the air anymore.
"Found it."
Chen Mu's eyes deepened and his feet moved quickly. His movement skills changed instantly, and he saw that his feet took several steps in succession, landing in the places where Granny Qi had stopped earlier.
Yue Mei only felt a blur in front of her eyes, but she didn't know Chen Mu's specific intention.
In just a few breaths, Chen Mu had already made several footprints.
It is strange to say that the footprints are connected together to form a five-pointed star.
"Brother Mu, what on earth is going on?"
Yue Mei was also shocked when she saw the strange marks on the ground.
"The forbidden area of the ancient temple has been found. The secret treasure must be inside."
After Chen Mu said that, he stepped towards the place where Granny Qi disappeared earlier.
The moment he stepped on it, Chen Mu's figure disappeared into thin air.
