Chapter 26: The Eidolon Gate

The sunlight lightly passed through the block of the dense mountain forest, sprinkling the golden light to the ground, soothing the weeds on the ground, Lei Wuchen followed behind Ding Xiao, looking up at the surroundings from time to time, everything in the mountains and forests seemed very quiet, occasionally there were birds in the forest, chirping, and then flying away.

The two walked in silence for a long time, and when they were about to cross the mountain, Ding Xiao slowed down, turned his head to look at Lei Wuchen behind him, and asked, "Where are you from? What are you going to do when you go to the Thousand Cities of Ink and Wash?"

"We came from Jiuzhou City, and it's actually nothing to go to Ink Thousand City, it's just that the Heavenly Domain is so big, walk around and have some experience, but then again, with your current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to pass the Xie family's exam, why don't you try it?"

"Don't try, I'm already very satisfied with my current life", Ding Xiao shook his head and said slowly.

"Your realm is already very good, but I'm curious, I see that many of the people in your village are ordinary people, but why can you practice the exercises?"

"I also asked my mother such a question, she said that everyone in our village, in fact, used to be slaves in a sect in the Thousand Cities of Ink and Ink, and my father and my uncle were disciples in that sect, and then one night, a person suddenly appeared, some people said that the wife of the person who appeared was tortured to death by the master of the sect, and that night was to take revenge."

"Twenty years ago, the tragedy of the Xu family in the Thousand Cities of Ink and Wash, in the battle that night, the Xu family was completely wiped out by that person, and a total of 128 people were killed and injured", Lei Wuchen frowned slightly and said.

"I don't know about this, that night my father and uncle took advantage of the chaos and led many slaves out of the back door, because of that battle, all the guards guarding the city went to Xu's house, and they took the opportunity to run out of the Thousand Cities of Ink and Wash, until this place is now."

After hearing this, Lei Wuchen lowered his head and thought for a long time before he asked, "Your uncle, but that Wu Chang'an who was attacked by the night monkey beast with your father back then?"

"That's right, I just took my mother's surname, when my father was killed, I was born not long ago, so I hate these night monkey beasts, I want to kill them all"

"There may be a solution to everything other than killing"

"Have you ever tasted the loss of your loved ones, for these strange beasts, this is the best solution", Ding Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and said coldly.

Ding Xiao's words made Lei Wuchen not know how to answer, the night monkey beast had a grudge against him to kill his father, and after so many years, the hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger, how could he rest assured because of a few words?

"Then will you stay in the village and fight these night monkey beasts in the future?"

"Yes, until there is no more night monkey beast here, don't talk about that, after your injuries are healed, you can set off for the Thousand Cities of Ink"

Looking at Ding Xiao, whose figure was speeding up, Lei Wuchen didn't follow, he looked back behind him, the branches were shaking, but he didn't find any figures.

"Walk through this wood, it's almost to the town, let's hurry"

Hearing Ding Xiao's shout, Lei Wuchen came back to his senses and walked quickly to the front.

The two walked in the forest for a long time, and finally saw the light in front of them, and the two quickened their pace, and this forest path led to a wide avenue.

"Walk along this road all the way, you can get to the town, today is the day of the town meeting, it should be very lively, after we send the herbs to the pharmacy, we can go to the meeting to go around", Ding Xiao pointed to the road ahead, said slowly.

"Okay, let's hurry over then, by the way, do you guys in town sell those colorful little candy men?"

"There should be a colored little sugar man, but the colored thing is much more expensive than the average little sugar man," Ding Xiao thought for a while and said.

"It's okay, we'll take a look later", Lei Wuchen smiled slightly and responded.

The two continued to move forward for a long time, and a town that was not too small appeared in Lei Wuchen's eyes, at this time, many people carrying burdens walked into the town, Lei Wuchen followed behind Ding Xiao, and walked towards the town with the flow of people.

Lei Wuchen glanced around, from entering the town, the first thing he saw was the guards guarding the gate in and out of the town, this situation he was used to in Jiuzhou City, but in this town, there were guards, so it seems that in this town, there must be some sect, there are sects in a small town, which makes Lei Wuchen very surprised.

"It's still early for us to come, wait a while, this street is full of people selling things, let's go and hand over the herbs to the pharmacy first, and then come back later," Ding Xiao said after glancing at Lei Wuchen, who was looking around.

"Okay," Lei Wuchen nodded in response.

Lei Wuchen followed Ding Xiao in this town, and at a crossroads, Ding Xiao stopped, pointed to a signboard not far in front and said: "There is a pharmacy in front, you wait here first, take a stranger with you, it will attract their attention."

"Then you go first, I'll wait for you here"

"Okay", after speaking, Ding Xiao quickly walked towards the pharmacy.

After Ding Xiao walked into the pharmacy, Lei Wuchen turned his head to look around, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, he didn't care, and suddenly, a group of people dressed in the same clothes as the guards, carrying coarse cloth sacks, walked quickly in front of him, a man in gray clothes followed closely behind them, because there were too many people, Lei Wuchen did not see the appearance of this man clearly.

"Could it be that these people are the disciples of the small town sect?", Lei Wuchen looked at the group of people who gradually walked into a large courtyard, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking in his mind. Then he walked towards the place where the group had disappeared.

On the jet-black gate, there is a sign that reads 'Yeling Gate', the font is inlaid with gold edges, and there are no disciples guarding the door, Lei Wuchen looked inside through the gate, and did not see a single figure, and the whole courtyard looked very gloomy.

"What are you looking at?"

Hearing the shout, Lei Wuchen hurriedly looked back, only to see Ding Xiao carrying a medicine basket on his back and walking towards him quickly.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious, what's going on with this Nelon Gate?"

"Let's go, let's go over there first", Ding Xiao turned his head to look inside and said in a low voice.

Lei Wuchen looked at Ding Xiao, who had a serious look in his eyes, didn't ask any more questions, followed behind him, and walked towards the crowd.

"This night spirit sect suddenly appeared in the town more than ten years ago, their owner is named Pan Shiquan, although it is a sect, but it does not recruit any disciples, but every time I come to the town to sell herbs, I will see them carrying a sack into the courtyard, what it is, I don't know very well"

"Carrying a sack into the courtyard, isn't there anyone going to investigate this matter?", Lei Wuchen couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Although this night spirit gate is very mysterious, he has not done anything bad to our town, and he will give gifts to the people in the town every New Year's holiday, maybe it is because of this that no one cares about this"

After listening to Ding Xiao's words, Lei Wuchen turned his head and looked in the direction of the Night Spirit Gate, a sect that did not recruit disciples, it was really surprising.
