Chapter 30 Is there a ghost or a demon
After doing everything, the three began their journey to the haunted town under the leadership of Fengxiang. The four of them have the highest cultivation, which is Zhou Fatty's cultivation in the middle of the Dharma realm. And the highest grade is just Feng Xiang, who has been a disciple for five years.
Therefore, as usual, those who are not eligible to enjoy the special flying spirit beast for the sect can only rely on their own ability to reach it. That's why Fengxiang previously planned to take 20 days for this mission.
If there is a flying spirit beast, even if it is the lowest level of flying spirit beast, it can be reached within 400 miles in a morning. Throw away the time to catch ghosts, and they can complete this task in two or three days at most. But now, on the road alone, they will have to spend more than ten days.
Fortunately, outside the mountain gate of Rantiandongfu, a large-scale market has long been formed. Four people rented a carriage at the market. Although the speed is still slow and pitiful, it prevents them from falling into the tragic situation all the way.
Because the carriage was too bumpy, the four of them could not calm down to practice at all. So the four of them simply bought a lot of wine and vegetables, chatted and drank all day.
Yang Huang has just stepped into the cultivation sect. Everything he knows about the door comes from Xianghan's Moyin, but Xianghan can be said to be a cultivation maniac. Nine out of the contents of Moyin are all related to cultivation, which is nothing compared with Fengxiang Zhou Fatty.
Although the three of them are mediocre, they have a clear understanding of all kinds of gossip in the sect.
In the past few nights, Yang Huang said that when they were sleeping and resting, he carefully felt the changes of Yongquan Cave and Shenting Cave in order to figure out more mysteries. During the day, he was half asleep and half awake listening to them talking about all kinds of anecdotes and anecdotes in the sect, which was also comfortable.
Until the fifth day, they finally came to the haunted town where the commission was issued. The town is not big, but it is also prosperous. There are more than 1,000 houses one after another. However, at this time, there were only a few bustling pedestrians on the wide street, and they all lowered their heads and shrank their necks, as if they were avoiding something.
"Strange!" Zhao Bai patted the long sword behind him depressedly: "My illusion has no reaction. There is no ghost left in this village at all. In this way, isn't it a waste of time!"
Yang Huang already knew that the sword behind Zhao Bai was a low-level aura, which was a thank-you gift privately given to him by a village head after completing a commissioned task.
There is nothing particularly precious about this illusion, but because it has been stained with the blood of the fifth-order spirit beast Jiuyang beast before, it has a special sense and lethality for ghosts. Since this sword, Fengxiang and his trio have been particularly keen to accept such tasks as exorcising ghosts. At this time, Zhao Bai found that there are no ghosts here, which means that the enemy they will face may be something else. The trouble is small, and it is big to accidentally lose their lives!
According to the description in the power of attorney, the victims in their village disappeared, and only white bones were left. If it weren't for the fierce ghost, it is most likely that there is an evil cultivation hidden here, devouring flesh and blood to improve its ability.
With the cultivation of the four of them, as long as they encounter a slightly unified evil cultivation, they will immediately die. You should know that the growth rate of evil cultivation is at least twice that of righteous monks. That is to say, even if this evil cultivation was just started a week ago, now it is at least a mid-term practice of the Dharma realm.
"I'd better take a look first!" Fatty Zhou rubbed his stomach: "After all, if we go back like this, I'm afraid there will be a big cross on any of our assessment records. Encountering evil cultivation, I was so scared that I turned around and ran away, which is a big taboo in the assessment of the sect!"
"That's the only way!" Feng Xiang also shook his head with a wry smile, and then looked at Yang Huang: "But you don't have to worry about Yang Huang. This is within the scope of the protection of the sect. The cultivation of the evil cultivation will not be too profound, and it may even be that he has found a secret book to practice indiscriminately. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been sensed by the inspector elders!"
Comforting Yang Huang, Feng Xiang stepped into the town and stopped a passer-by. The passer-by was still a little impatient. After Feng Xiang explained his identity, the passer-by almost immediately knelt down and led Fengxiang and the others to the mayor's house gratefully.
"Four immortals, you are finally here!" The mayor didn't know where he got the news. He had already greeted the door early. When he saw Yang Huang and the others, they suddenly burst into tears and refused to get up: "If the immortal mayor comes a few days later, I'm afraid our town will be completely gone. Please ask Xianchang to cast a spell to save our town as soon as possible. On behalf of the whole town, I will give you Kneel down." Several attendants accompanied by the mayor also cried bitterly and knelt to the ground, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a moment.
Seeing the mayor's reaction, Yang Huang couldn't help frowning. The mayor is no better than the rest of the senior officials. Although a county has a population of more than 100,000, in addition to the county magistrates, there are various officials to assist and supervise. Although the mayor only cares of one or two thousand people, he has absolute power. To put it all, it can be said that he is extremely majestic. What happened to the town made the old mayor panic like this.
If only six people died in the town as the commission said, their performance is really abnormal. The only possibility is that something big happened in the town when they went on the road.
"Old man, get up and talk!" Feng Xiang obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong. He quickly helped the mayor and asked in surprise, "Old man, is it possible that something has happened in the town in the past few days? When we left the sect, we got the news that only six people were killed in the town. Why are we so panicked?
"six people?" The mayor was stunned: "Is it that you received only my first power of attorney? In the past few days, I have used the cleverness left by the Xianchang sect to issue three power of attorneys, and now 647 people have died in our town!"
The mayor's words were like a thunderstorm in Yang Huang's ears. In the five days since they went on the road, the death toll in this town has more than 100 times!
This is simply shocking. Even if there is an evil practice nearby, it is absolutely impossible to kill people so quickly. It seems that there is something strange among them.
"No, mayor, someone died again!" At this time, a teenager ran over in a panic: "On the east road, three more white bones were found!"
"This..." The mayor almost fell to the ground and muttered, "600, 370 people!"
"Now, there is no way to retreat. Let's see what's going on first, so that we can think about how to deal with it." Fatty Zhou's eyes flashed, rolled up his sleeves, and his tough schedule revealed: "Kid, help your mayor go back and sit down first. The four of us will go to explore and meet you!"
After saying that, Fatty Zhou took out a long copper bell from his arms, which was carved with tedious patterns, which was extraordinary at a glance. Zhou Fatty read a word in his mouth, and the copper bell shook gently. With the crisp sound of the jingle, a white shadow suddenly burst out on the copper bell, which had expanded to a foot in an instant, protecting Yang Huang and others only in the middle.
"The protection of this soul bell is only effective for ghosts, but now it has to be a living horse doctor." Fatty Zhou wiped a sweat: "I can support this shield for half an hour. Let's go back quickly!"
"Good!" Feng Xiang answered and Zhao Bai held their weapons in their hands, while Yang Huang was protected between the three people empty-handed, which looked more like a burden. If they hadn't been worried that the task would be invalid because it was too far away, I'm afraid they wouldn't have taken Yang Huang with them. Who would have thought that the ghost removal mission, which was originally like an outing, would evolve like this at this time.
"Don't worry!" At the critical moment, Fengxiang still did not forget to comfort Yang Huang: "The door party task is evaluated. This kind of task that kills more than 600 people in five days will definitely be divided into high difficulty. Only direct disciples can receive this difficulty. As long as they take over the task, they can come in an hour or two. We can simply investigate, otherwise they will definitely be treated as a negative task by these guys, which will be difficult!"
Yang Huang nodded to show his understanding, but the secret mind shook and woke up the sleeping Xuanying directly. Xuanying has often fallen asleep since he devouring the divine power to achieve the golden body. If the outside world does not call him, he will not wake up at all, just like an animal falling into hibernation.
Huh? I seem to smell the magic!" Xuanying rubbed her sleepy eyes, as if she had not fully woken up from her dream, but suddenly roared in surprise: "No, Yang Huang, run!"
