Chapter 52: The Slaughter Station
The entire post station was covered with a thick layer of dead air.
As soon as I entered the large courtyard, the heavy black qi around me immediately gathered towards me, who had more yin qi.
It was foggy, which made my already not very good eyes even worse.
There was a strange feeling that there were no living creatures here, and there was no demonic activity detected, but the surrounding aura was extremely complicated.
Moreover, I always felt that there was an eye silently watching me, or because my arrival had changed the aura of this station, and at the same time attracted its attention.
I raised my hand and waved it in front of me, and a few dots of round light from my fingertips spread out in the gloomy air, dispelling the black qi around me.
Ye Xun landed on the ground, and the cold breath lingered faintly around me, and he said, "Who do you think it will do?"
I bit my lower lip and thought about it for a while, and roughly deduced the two people I thought were the most suspicious: "Imperial Princess?
Ye Xun smiled and was noncommittal: "Let's take a look around first!"
The front hall should naturally go first, I walked side by side with Yexun, going around from the back garden, the familiar few steps, I never felt that it was so difficult to walk.
At the beginning of settling in the backyard, except for the black fog of dead air accumulated in the entire house, it was impossible to see what had happened to the post station at all.
And now in front of me, a short corridor with eaves is full of bloody handprints and footprints, as well as the large pool of blood of different depths left after struggling on the ground.
On the branches of flowers and plants under the eaves of the porch, there is also an ear that has been torn to a bloody blur, and a small round earring imitating silver is faintly visible on it.
A chill ran through the back of my neck, and a tangle of dullness rose in my guts.
Not because of fear.
I go to the eighteenth floor of hell twice a year, and every time I go in and out, I have a new feeling.
It's a hundred times more terrifying than the picture in front of me, and even if a demon suddenly jumps out to rob or something, I can smile and deal with it calmly.
So much so that later, the emperor rectified the eighteen layers of hell, and all the evil ghosts in custody became honest, and I was not used to it for a long time.
I don't know how much worse it is than hell, but it does make me feel uncomfortable.
Hell is called Hell because it was born to be a wasteland where evil spirits are imprisoned, ghosts are extradited, and gods intervene and rule.
But this is not, this is the world, and the tragic situation in front of me is very likely to be the quirky little girls in this station.
"Yexun......" I called out to him in a hoarse voice, "you say, can I find them if I rush back to the Netherworld?"
“......”
There was a long silence.
Yexun didn't answer me immediately, but instead just lowered his chin to the opposite wing: "There seems to be something over there!"
I stretched out my arms and floated gently, but before I could get close to the eaves of the antechamber, the wind swirling on the flat ground carried me somewhere.
I couldn't hear it, but I could clearly feel an inexplicable oppressive force growing around me.
The eye searched around desperately to no avail, until the force was already slashing like a sharp sword in front of me.
Following the source of the force, a string of bronze bells dangling from the beams of the vestibule swayed gently.
I also realized that the wind that made it move did not rise on its own, but that my breath was approaching, and it happened to collide with the range covered by its power, which made it fight back.
That power came domineeringly, not like an ordinary exorcism magic weapon, but hung in the dead inn now.
It did not play the role of exorcising evil spirits, nor did it produce the power of suppressing the soul.
And the reason why it is here, and being able to sense my breath and attack accurately, is obviously to place it here to avoid the shadows.
With a wave of my sleeves, the sharp sound wave that was close to me dissolved into green smoke in front of me as if the ice and snow had melted.
"What a daredevil!" Ye Xun appeared next to me coldly, snorting.
"What?" I didn't understand.
"The mana of this bronze bell itself is not strong, although it can drive away some of the Yin soldiers and ghosts with low cultivation, but for you and me, disposing of it is just a cover.
For one thing, the reason why the bell is hung here is that when the breaths collide, it will ring, and the settler is likely to rely on this to determine the movement of the two of you.
Second, doesn't Lord Bai think that some provocations that are just touching the surface but have ulterior motives are more uncomfortable?"
Yexun said the truth, I listened to the enlightenment, and there was a sense of admiration and praise in my heart, and after this, I inexplicably gave birth to a sense of shame.
To put it bluntly, I really thought that the bell was placed here just to scare me, but it happened that Bai Ye was deaf, so it didn't succeed.
In fact, a quiet bell suddenly sounded in a lonely and uninhabited place, which was really terrifying!
After Ye Xun finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at me very proudly, I smiled dryly, and I silently thought of that idea in my heart and didn't dare to open my mouth, for fear that he would beat me......
In order to alleviate the embarrassing scene, I hurriedly took a step forward, and my breath was just enough to hit the bronze bell, and then I pinched a thunder trick with my right hand, and a silver glow of lightning flew out from my palm.
The sound wave that happened to hit the bronze bell vibrated out, and the two forces wanted to collide in the middle of the front hall compound, and it was clear at a glance which was stronger and which was weaker.
Lei Jue is powerful, and he doesn't deceive me, just a light blow can split the weak bell into slag.
"When did Lord Bai even learn to summon the thunder trick?" Ye Xun was very surprised.
I shrugged my shoulders and enjoyed the admiring look in my eyes from Ye Xun, what do you say?
Shibei three days, when impressive, I almost mean, but Shibei one night, also should be impressed.
"In your absence~" I tilted my head at him nonchalantly.
Ye Xun's eyes darkened, and his face, which didn't have much of a smile, became more calm.
I probably guessed that this guy must be unwilling to let my cultivation improve, for fear that he will surpass him one day.
Well, that's how it should be!
I rolled up my voluminous robe and walked to the antechamber, "By the way, where did you go when I was locked up in the barrier?"
"Corpse Demon, I've met you!" Ye Xun said calmly.
I looked at him sideways with round eyes: "Which one escaped from the broken temple where we followed the little cripple last time?"
He lowered his eyes to me and nodded.
I just cared about chatting with Yexun, and before I had time to look ahead, I saw Yexun's eyes flashing forward, and then he quickly raised his hand to cover my eyes.
I was baffled by the sudden action: "Yexun? how-"
I was only halfway through the sentence and I got stuck, my throat was clogged, and since Yexun must have a reason for doing this.
And the best explanation for blindfolding me at the moment is that there is something ahead of him that he doesn't want me to see.
"Lord Bai, I advise you to ....."
"It's okay" I swallowed my throat that was dry to tight, and raised my hand to silently remove Yexun's hand......
