Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Midnight Phantom
The moon shadow hung low, and the vast night was filled with a faint ripple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The aurora crossed the sky, and in the beautiful night, the cool breeze was gentle.
The mottled city walls, wafting lazy curling clouds of smoke and dust, are like a hazy midnight curtain, obscuring the future and the past.
Vimarosh was meditating, and suddenly heard the terrible cry of the heavenly enemy, for fear that something would happen again, so he had to take Fairy Lingbo and Murong Jie and run in the direction where the cry came.
In the moonlight, Vimarosh saw a corpse lying on the ground, and a headless corpse. Against the backdrop of the bright moonlight, the *blood* liquid glowing with the dark light of the night is gushing out of the neck*neck*.
Seeing such a scene, it is not difficult to imagine the inexplicable fear of a little girl.
Tianqiu was already frightened by the scene in front of him, and sat on the ground motionless. That's when an even weirder scene happened. Out of nowhere, sporadic flames burst out, and the flames quickly ignited the *corpse* body at the feet of the heavenly enemy, and after a while, the flames ignited, and the *head* corpse* turned into a pile of carbon ash and dissipated with the wind.
The sparse light of the fire soon pierced the thick night, and a little light illuminated the words engraved on the tombstones.
"Master, this can't be the vulture's doing, is it?" Heavenly Feud asked, the first thing that came to her mind was the hateful vultures, which loved to feed in the graveyard.
Vultures, dastardly eagles, lewd villains. They have majestic bodies, majestic wings, hard chews and sharp claws, but they never hunt and fight, but only pretend to follow the predator as if nothing happened, looking for the remaining scraps, what a vile and abominable thing they are to show off their might on corpses, but they dare not compete with any living creature.
"No way, vultures don't dig graves, they don't have that ability. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Vimarosh replied.
"Not a vulture, what could it be?" Tian Qiu then asked.
Vimarosh turned around and reproached the feud behind him: "You are a girl's house, what are you running blindly in the middle of the night, follow behind the old man, and don't walk away indiscriminately." I'll hand him over to you, and you'll take care of it. ”
"Okay!" Tianqiu replied, stepped forward and picked up Murong Jie, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
"It's almost dawn, don't take it lightly. Before leaving the customs, strengthen your vigilance, and the more strange things you are, the more you must improve your defense. Vimarosh said.
"Master, listen. Did you hear it all? The dead bodies talking? Tian Qiu said.
"Amitabha. Don't blame it, don't talk nonsense, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth. Vimarosh only felt that the little girl was too frightened, and began to talk nonsense, so he stopped sharply.
"Master, I have heard of it...... "Tianqiu replied.
"Okay, let's take care of the present! Don't be careless. Vimarosh replied.
Before the two of them finished speaking, Tianqiu vaguely sensed that something seemed to be dripping on her face.
Is it raindrops? No! Now that the sky is cloudless, how can there be rain. Moreover, the raindrops falling on the face are not like that.
Tianqiu tightened Murong Jie on his back, freed his left hand, reached out and touched his face, and when he looked at it, he saw a hand full of blood.
She raised her head sharply and looked at the night sky, a black shadow fell from the sky and slammed into her fiercely, she was so frightened that she screamed, but fortunately she didn't throw away Murong Jie on her back, but carried it more tightly.
The black shadow fell to the ground, only to see that it was a *head*skull*, if I guessed correctly, it should be the head *skull* of the dead, *corpse*head*!
Vimarosh looked up at the night sky, and all he could see was the withered branches swaying in the wind and the moon faintly visible in the mist.
"What is this?" Tianqiu shouted in panic. Soon the *head* * skull * began to spontaneously combust like the *corpse* body*, and then there was nothing left of the burned.
"Master, I'm afraid. This can't be a ghost, right? When I was a child, I heard my mother say that when night came, there would always be ghouls in the cemetery. Tian Qiu said tremblingly.
"Ridiculous, those are all tricks used by old people to scare, naughty children. How can there be such a thing in the world, how can you have such a ridiculous idea. That guy is just like us, but he is agile enough, and with the cover of night, he has not been discovered by us, so be careful. Vimarosh said.
Gradually, they seemed to hear someone laughing, and in a trance it was a woman or a child's voice, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.
It was too late to say that, and a white dress flashed in front of their eyes in an instant. But when I looked closely, I saw nothing but withered and swaying pine and cypress branches.
When everything seemed to be calm again, the strange white-clad figure fell from the sky again and flashed behind Vimarosh.
Vimarosh felt bad, jumped forward sharply, rolled out on the spot, and dodged the white-clothed figure behind him.
Tian Qiu immediately drew his sword, pointed at the white-clothed figure and asked, "What are you and what are you doing here?" ”
The white-clothed figure didn't answer, nor did it make any sound, but kept emitting wisps of flames and disappeared in front of everyone again.
"Little girl, are you alright?" Vimarosh asked.
"Master, I'm fine. What's that weird thing, do you see it? Heavenly Feud replied.
"No, he's gone, the old man can't see it, but it'll be back soon." Vimarosh replied.
"Is that guy a man or a beast?" Tianqiu asked curiously.
"The old man thinks he's not a man or a beast." Vimarosh replied.
"What could that be pretending to be a ghost here?" Tian Qiu asked again.
"Something dangerous." Vimarosh pretended to be mysterious.
Soon the white-clothed figure appeared in front of them again, this time not just one, but two...... Three...... Four...... Five...... Fifteen ......
Sixteen white-clothed figures appeared, and those white-clothed figures slowly approached them, surrounding them in the center.
Vimarosh remained motionless, but Tianqiu couldn't bear it, and took the lead in rushing towards the white-clothed figure in the night.
But no matter how Tian Qiu wielded the sword in his hand to slash the white-clothed figures, those white-clothed figures never moved.
The saber passed through the bodies of the white-clad figures again and again, but none of the white-clad figures fell injured.
Where the sharp blade slashed, only a faint smell of corruption overflowed.
"Master, it looks like I can't hurt them." Tianqiu said dejectedly.
"Since the sword can't help them, then attack with fire." Vimarosh said slowly.
Vimarosh recited the incantation, and in a moment a pale blue flame ignited on his fingers. The flames burned more and more, and after a while, a huge pale blue fireball was formed.
Vimarosh threw the fireball in his hand at the white-clothed figure, and this time it seemed to work.
The white-clad figure that hit the fireball shrank rapidly, and they were clearly dodging the flames.
"Master, this trick seems to work."
"It seems that they are afraid of fire, so let the old man drive these things back to their original place."
Vimarosh attacked with fireballs, and the white-clothed figure that was constantly dodging the flames gradually converged together, slowly merging into one, and gradually transformed into an even larger white-clothed figure.
Vimarosh knew that if this stalemate continued, once the flames attracted the attention of others, then after dawn, they would not think about getting out of the customs again.
Since he couldn't find a way to subdue this monster, he had to think of a way to get out as soon as possible.
Just as Vimarosh had no intention of fighting and was struggling to think about how to escape, an extremely strong white light emanated from the body of the white-clothed figure, illuminating everything around him as if it were day.
The blinding light kept Vimarosh and Tianqiu open, and vaguely they seemed to see a waist-length woman in the figure. But the light was too blinding for them to know what they were seeing.
The white-clothed figure began to gradually dissipate, and finally disappeared completely, and the dazzling white light gradually dimmed, although it was no longer so dazzling, but their vision also became blurred with the weakening of the white light, until the white light completely dissipated, and they were able to regain their sight again.
"Master, what should I do? Let him escape. Heavenly hatred said unwillingly.
"I don't know where I came, but I went just right. He couldn't escape, the old man cast a spell on the previous fireball, and went to find it. Vimarosh said.
Tianqiu carried Murong Jie on his back and stopped in front of a big tree with Vimarosh.
"Amitabha, Lao Qu and others, when they first arrived in the precious land, they had no intention of bothering, just hoping to spend the night. If there is any discomfort, please don't be surprised, and I will leave when the morning dawns. Vimarosh said to the tree.
"It turned out to be a tree spirit, no wonder he was afraid of fire, and when I lost his nest with fire, so as not to come out and harm people in the future." Seeing this, Tianqiu said.
"Be forgiving and forgiving. More is better than less. Vimarosh said.
"Master, the little woman's move is to eliminate harm for the people, and if this demon is not removed, it will bring disaster to the people." Tianqiu said that, put down Murong Jie, and swung his sword towards the big tree.
Just as the blade was about to approach the trunk of the tree, the white figure reappeared.
"I finally showed up, and let my aunt and grandmother finish off your demon today." After Tianqiu finished speaking, he raised his sword and went up.
I saw the two, one to the other, competing for a long time. Heavenly hatred is not allowed to stab the white figure to death with a sword, but the white-clothed figure is like a living dragon and a tiger, jumping left and right, so that the heavenly hatred has no way to start.
After seeing the flaws through the heavenly enemy, he rushed towards the white-clothed figure with a sword, thinking that the white-clothed figure would be injured. Unexpectedly, the white-clothed figure was a trick, deliberately standing upright, so that the heavenly enemy came to stab, and when the sword was close, he actually caught it with his bare hands, pulled it hard, and snatched the sword away. Looking at the feud again, there is a pair of empty hands left.
"[Chongxu Sword Technique], what is the relationship between you and [Huashan]." The white-clothed figure suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Give me back your sword, and I'll tell you." Heavenly feud yelled at the white-clothed figure.
Sure enough, the white-clothed figure returned the sword to the heavenly revenge. The heavenly feud got the sword, and without saying a word, he stabbed away again, but unfortunately he stabbed again and lost, and he lost three stabs and three times, and finally had to give up.
"Speak well, don't mess around. What is your relationship with Huashan? The white-clothed figure seems to have lost his heart and no longer returns the sword to the heavenly enemy.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. The little woman does not change her name or change her surname, I am the daughter of Xiang Liang of [Huashan Cloud Piercing Sword], and I am also a haunt to the sky. Tianqiu raised his head proudly and said.
"Hahaha, there is no endless road. It turned out to be after Xiang Liang, no wonder it made me Huashan [Chong Void Sword Technique]. The white-clothed figure said.
"Who are you? Why do you call me by my father's name? Tianqiu asked indignantly.
"Sure enough, it's a tiger father and no dog girl, where is your father now? Why are you here? The white-clothed figure asked again.
"Why do I tell you that you intimidated me first, hurt me last, and now you don't even spare my father. I am defeated, and if I want to kill or obey me, I beg you to let my companion go. Tianqiu replied angrily.
"Okay, Emei doesn't let me shave my eyebrows. Eldest niece, I really don't hide that I am your little uncle, Qin Yifei, one of the [Seven Swords of Huashan]. The white-clothed figure replied.
