Chapter 4: Ghost Town

At sunset, a group of eleven people rode into the market town, only to find that the whole town was quiet and uninhabited.

The shops on both sides of the street are almost closed, and only a few are still open, so you can vaguely see the shops busy inside.

"You go to the inn. Liu Jingjing frowned when she saw this, and randomly ordered a junior disciple.

"Yes. ”

After receiving the order, the tall, mighty disciple drove the Qianli horse towards the depths of the market town, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.

"Senior Sister Liu, this place seems to be called Meilong Town, and it is a place of business hub, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that. One of the disciples said boldly.

"Well, you guys go and ask what's going on here. Liu Jingjing thought deeply when she heard this, and ordered three more disciples.

After receiving the order, the three disciples handed the reins to the senior brother beside them, then turned over and dismounted, and each walked towards a shop.

Liu Jingjing and the other seven people continued to move forward, stopping and stopping all the way, looking at this somewhat strange market town.

Just then, a burst of white mist hit, enveloping them all.

Seeing this, Liu Jingjing took out a three-inch golden sword from her sleeve just in case, and the other disciples also took out their respective swords from the scabbard.

"Senior sister, you take these. ”

In the white mist, one of them handed over a thick stack of talismans.

Liu Jingjing glanced at him, but didn't take it, and said calmly: "You follow me, don't act alone, let them come back quickly." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, one of the disciples took out a long barrel of gunpowder from his sleeve and ignited it through the palm flame.

After the gunpowder was ignited, it immediately broke through the white fog and flew into the sky and exploded violently, forming a brilliant firework.

But they waited for a long time in the same place, but they did not see a few of their fellow disciples looking for them.

Strange cries came from far and near, and the sound was like that of many babies crying.

"Senior sister, what should we do now?" a disciple couldn't help but ask any longer, his voice a little choked.

"Follow me out!"

Liu Jingjing is also a very decisive person, and seeing that the development of the situation was beyond her control, she decided to break through and ask for help.

So they left behind their horses, turned around, and galloped away the way they had come.

But the road seemed to have no end in sight, and they rode for a full quarter of an hour without seeing the gate at the entrance of the town.

At this time, everyone's hearts were a little desperate, and their faces turned a little pale.

"The gutless rats don't show up quickly!" Liu Jingjing suddenly pulled the reins to stop castration and shouted loudly.

She was answered by a cry that was getting closer, like some kind of mockery.

Da-da-da-da

The sound of the horse's hooves faded away and faded away, and the rest of the disciples seemed to ignore her actions and continued on their way.

Liu Jingjing's face suddenly changed greatly, the task of this trip was mainly for her, if the ten disciples of the same company were lost here, I was afraid that it would cause the anger of the top level of the sect, and her future would inevitably be ruined.

Boom

In the wind, there were bursts of strange cries.

Countless red lanterns could be faintly seen, fluttering in the wind in the white mist.

……

Da-da-da-da

Fang Cheng drove the Qianli horse all the way and came in the direction of the market town.

He knew that Liu Jingjing and the others were probably in danger at this time, but he had to plunge headlong into the whirlpool, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the sect at all.

Each of the eleven fellow disciples on this trip had at least one Myriad Tribulation Elder standing behind them, and their anger was simply not something he could bear now.

Therefore, relying on the twelve golden needles left to him by Gongsun Ying, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Fang Cheng has to break through hard.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the sky was a little dark, but Fang Cheng was sitting on the tall horse, and he could still see the outline of the market town in the distance.

Meilong Town originally had a population of 1,400 households, which was the largest gathering place within a radius of 100 miles.

But a year ago, something had already changed here, and a ghost town had appeared.

The ghost town is one of the temporarily unexplained supernatural events, and once you strayed into it, it was almost difficult for ordinary monks to escape on their own.

Chen Yanqing strayed into the ghost town that time, and when he was rescued by the elders of the sect, his bones had been corrupted, and his potential was almost exhausted.

In order to save him, the sect elder paid a great price, and his cultivation progress was once hindered because of this incident.

Otherwise, with Chen Yanqing's amazing talent, how could it take thousands of years to reach the realm of earth immortals.

Now that Fang Cheng has the power of the earth immortal as a guarantor, he is naturally not afraid of ghost towns, so he plans to fight once.

If you lose, you can at least get out of the way, and if you win, you can gain the favor of eleven sect elders.

Wealthy and land-loving monks, with the favor of these eleven eleven elders, it means a steady stream of cultivation resources, so why should he worry about falling behind in his cultivation progress.

Fortunately, Fang Cheng was lucky, he had just rushed into Meilong Town and met Liu Jingjing head-on.

But the other party seemed to have fallen into the hallucinations generated by the ghost town at this time, sitting on the Chisato Pony and smiling stupidly, not realizing his arrival at all.

"Senior sister, wake up!"

Fang Cheng grabbed the reins and approached Liu Jingjing, then took out a jade bottle from his arms, gently uncorked it and put it under her nose.

I saw a burst of green smoke escaping from the jade bottle, and after Liu Jingjing inhaled the green smoke, she suddenly frowned, her expression was a little painful, as if her dream had been disturbed, and she woke up leisurely after a few breaths.

Fang Cheng deliberately dropped it precisely to refine this bottle of inner sobering elixir, but unfortunately the potion was very short and could not be refined in advance.

"Thank you, junior brother!"

Liu Jingjing saw that it was Fang Cheng who saved her, and after a short period of shock, she just thanked her without asking more.

"Senior sister doesn't have to be polite, I'm just a fluke. Fang Cheng directly threw the jade bottle in his hand to Liu Jingjing.

Liu Jingjing nodded after taking the jade bottle, and drove the Qianli Horse towards the depths of the mist.

As the leader of this mission, she naturally has the responsibility to bring the others out safely.

Fang Cheng followed behind her silently and plunged into the mist together.

The sound of a baby's cry in his ears made him feel miserable. Fortunately, his willpower far surpassed that of Tongji, and he could barely hold on.

As they continued to go deeper into the ghost town, the brothers and sisters who were standing in place were found.

Liu Jingjing did the same, poking the jade bottle under their noses, finally sobering them up from their deep hallucinations.

But the cultivation of these disciples is far inferior to Liu Jingjing, so everyone still indulges in it from time to time.

Fang Cheng had no choice but to take out the rope and firmly fix everyone's saddle on the saddle of the good horse he was sitting on.

Before they knew it, it was night, but they found only ten of them, and one seemed to be hiding.

"Let's split up. Although Liu Jingjing has just recovered from her injury, she is still a woman.

"Senior sister, be careful. Fang Cheng had no choice but to advise like this.

"The same goes for you. Liu Jingjing closed her mouth and left without looking back.
