Chapter 42 The Mysterious Destruction of the Gate in the Town at the Foot of the Mountain

Du Ling and the others will go out of the mountain in advance this time, in addition to buying some alchemy materials, but also to see with their own eyes whether the situation outside has changed.

Although the Ling Tian faction is also connected to the Internet, and Wang Laohu and others are informants within the Demon Management Bureau, Du Ling does not dare to trust the monsters' statements 100%, after all, everyone's initial starting point is not the same, although they all hope for world peace, but the objects to be protected are different after all.

Although he didn't want to rise to the height of a non-his race, Du Ling still felt that it was indispensable to guard against people, not to mention the strange atmosphere in the demon circle recently, although they were all giggling on the surface, but he just felt that these goblins were guarding against themselves.

In other words, guarding against the person behind him, Emperor Xiutian Xiao Li.

Obviously, he was still thinking about winning over this Lord of Heavenly Court before, but now he quietly hinted that he should not be too close to others...... There is a bird master who has a human taste core than Xiao Li, and he instantly became suspicious, so he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the outside was really like those monsters and the singing and dancing mentioned in the news.

This is the real reason why Du Ling has to pick up small places to drill, even if something happens in those big cities, it will be quickly suppressed by the powerful Demon Management Bureau, and he didn't find the news on the Internet, but it doesn't mean that nothing really happened, but even if he personally checks it, it is estimated that there is no luck against the weather.

But when it comes to this kind of poor rural areas where the news is sluggish, it is not the same when the public forces are slow to respond, and people are more likely to believe in the theory of ghosts and spirits, and if something discordant happens, even if there is no crime, they should be able to hear the corners of the truth.

Before Du Ling set off, he proudly gave 32 likes for his meticulous logic with full marks, but the only problem was that they didn't encounter a single monster at all, let alone a big event!

What about the many spirits in the mountains!?

There is no one who has become a sperm, which is simply unscientific!

It makes him seem like the suspicious neighbor who stole the axe, and the dignified humans are not as generous as the animals, which is really SOSAD.

In the end, Xiao Li hit the nail on the head and pierced through the fog shrouded in front of Du Ling's eyes.

"Nothing is doubtful in itself." With that, Xiao Li unfolded the tourist atlas, and his slender fingers swiped over the villages he had visited along the mountain, signaling Du Ling to pay attention to the names of these ancient villages.

The area they chose has been rich in aura since ancient times, and it is said that the spirit is full of spirits, if they have not encountered the old demons who have accumulated years of Taoism to occupy the mountain as the king, and it can be said that they yearn for the prosperity of the city and moved away, then it is very strange to use the spirit search technique to deliberately find even a little demon who has just opened up the spirit and wisdom, and it is clear that even the metropolis with thin aura and dirty aura now has a very high proportion of essence.

It is a recognized fact that Zhong Lingyuxiu's place is easy to cultivate spiritual objects, but it is a normal phenomenon that it is normal to be able to truly become a spirit without relying on bloodline or ignition to become a spirit on its own, so it should be a normal phenomenon that there are no goblins near the mountain gate of the Ling Tian Sect that was cleaned in the early years, and there are no spirits and monsters along the way.

On the contrary, it was the crowd of spirits in the city where they lived before, which was extremely abnormal.

"If something is abnormal, it must be a demon!" Du Ling's eyes, who had figured it out instantly after getting the hint, lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened: "If it's not normal in the mountains, it's not normal in the city, and there must be a problem with the contradictions, anyway, we can always get some useful conclusions if we continue to investigate!" ”

Just like this, I feel like I have grabbed the big flickering little tail of the Demon Management Bureau, and I can slap my face~ Du Ling, who felt that he had an assistant Xiao Sheng, could also act as a detective, thought happily and quickly cheered up.

Isn't it true or falsified, and you can always find something useful.

Isn't it going to happen this time?

Although the focus of the two people's search trip is becoming more and more on their honeymoon, the hard work pays off (...... In the restaurant at the foot of the mountain, they saw a local dog who had just become a sperm recently, and he didn't realize that he had a problem, and he also bought one get one free and sent a message that was suspected of being a monster.

Although the proprietress was mysterious and secretive at first, but in the end, seeing that two beautiful foreign boys were willing to be listeners, and did not laugh at them, this is the nonsense of the rural people, those aunts and aunts simply came around to talk about strangeness, you and I said a strong country accent Du Ling seemed to understand it, and his face was about to laugh stiffly, so he summed up some useful clues:

First of all, the so-called monster harms people, no one witnessed what kind of monster it is, but the foundation of a three-story villa built by a nouveau riche in the town collapsed overnight, smashing all the people who were gambling in it at that time. When they dug it out, they all broke their arms and legs miserably, and the head of the household and his concubine simply bled to death and could not die anymore.

The second is that this family seems to have made a fortune by doing a business that does not see the light, and the mysterious often goes into the mountains to 'batch goods', the deceased was originally a bastard, and now he has a good way to make a fortune and is secretly unwilling to share it with the neighbors, plus he does not accumulate virtue and eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has five drugs, and no one sympathizes with this accident, but says that it is God who opens his eyes.

Of course, the gossip townspeople who thought they were kind and simple refused to admit that they were gloating, so they brought out the third and most important piece of information: the family's accident was related to his business, and he suffered retribution, and the evidence was that several mountain people who had close contacts with him from the same village had been rumored to be soldiers in the past two days, so they almost wrote the word "heart weakness" on the door of their heads.

After finishing these details, the middle-aged and elderly women's soldiers also attached the conclusion they had reached: This group of people must be earth rats, who made a fortune from the dead, and now they are entangled by evil ghosts!

The mountain people who get rich—the mysterious business that can't see people—will disappear for a while—the strange calamity that will kill the whole family...... me, it sounds like a grave robber would end up with?!

In an instant, Du Ling's whole body stiffened, and there were all the monsters, would the ghosts be far away? The problem is, although he doesn't mind being reborn as a goblin, he's really afraid of ghosts!

"Also...... Do you want to go there and investigate? Du Ling swallowed his saliva and dared to ask first.

When he walked out of the restaurant, it was already dark, and the last few bits of light left after the sun set rendered the old and dilapidated streets a dark red, which did not make him feel any warmth but reminded him of the four big characters of the magic moment, so he shivered again.

- Can't be cowardly!

has already slipped into a tender baby face, and he must not do anything to fall into the majesty of his manly husband!

Although just thinking about the fact that it might be a haunted murderous house for the dead, Du Ling also gritted his teeth and said that he was a martial artist, insisting on holding his head high and taking the initiative to ask for help, hoping that the new Taoist comrades would be considerate and smart enough to quickly deny his brave and unscrupulous application, and plan before acting.

However, he and Xiao Li probably really needed to brighten their hearts and have the spirit rhino skill, and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor didn't hear the cry in his heart at all, and nodded solemnly in agreement: "Without further ado." ”

The sooner he could, the more likely he was to grasp the truth that had not yet been completely eliminated, so he turned around directly and walked in the direction of the murderous mansion in the town where the proprietress had rowed.

As for the ...... that Du Ling feared,

Is it really a man of action?

Don't you understand that my subtext is actually a refusal!!

Du Ling, who was desperate to save face, was dumbfounded in place, saying that he couldn't take a step to keep up.

Until Xiao Li found that he hadn't followed and turned back, he reached out and took his hand, holding the fingertips that scared him into the warm palm.

"There are no ghosts."

“…… Ha? I didn't get it for a while, this was comforting Du Ling's stupid wink.

"There are no ghosts, the ordinary yin qi will be dispersed as soon as the sun is illuminated, and the consciousness of mortals will dissipate and return to heaven and earth after death, and the theory of resentful spirits and ghosts is just made up." Xiao Li explained very simply, and directly put Du Ling's childhood shadow into the ranks of nonsense.

To put it bluntly, without a big way, a ghost can't do it.

The monk should be afraid of the old ghost who can take away, but this bit of crankiness that pops up in Du Ling's mind from time to time is also quite cute in Xiao Li's eyes, so he occasionally wants to appreciate it silently - of course, this can't be said directly, otherwise the lover will definitely turn his face.

At this time, shouldn't it be said that no matter what the cow, ghost, snake and god, will never let it hurt you? Why did you start a science popularization class of 'there are really no ghosts in the world'?

Du Ling wanted to complain a little, but he also took into account his precarious self-esteem.

"Who, who said I was afraid of ghosts!" The dead parrot's beak is harder than a duck's, "I just think we should plan carefully and not act so recklessly—but go if you want to, go and go, who is afraid of whom." ”

Hum pretending to be more serious, don't you just want to scare people and hold a little hand with me again, naïve little girl tricks, satisfy you!

Du Ling dragged Xiao Li's hand and rushed forward, but now he didn't dislike the remnant sun like blood was too terrifying, because the heavy light was just enough to cover the crimson of his cheeks.

Hey, isn't it autumn, why are you saying it's so hot?

*******

Although he scared himself half to death when he made up the time, when Du Ling really saw the so-called murderous mansion, he didn't feel it at all.

Because it's collapsing so completely, it's no longer a house.

In addition, there are no strict rules in the small county town, and after the broken bricks and tiles were cut open to save people, the former 'villa', which was almost impossible to see the prototype, was left in place for the townspeople to see, and there was not even a warning seal to prevent outsiders from approaching.

It looks like people want to conjure up a bottle sprayer and find a piece of land to help it draw a circle and make up for it.

“…… What kind of shit tofu scum project is this? "Can this still be called a haunted house? It can only be called ruins, okay! The ghost shadow that said yes was heavy in the wind, and the pants were taken off - no, it was the hands that took the face of the little pear and lost a lot, and finally showed me this?!

Du Ling felt very dissatisfied, and his mind became more flexible than ever: "This must not be a ghost trouble, I have only heard of unjust ghosts asking for life, and I have never heard of zongzi demolishing houses." After speaking, he shook off Xiao Li's hand, ran over in three steps and two steps, squatted down and studied.

Xiao Li, who had been used and thrown away, lowered his head expressionlessly, rubbed his fingers to feel the residual warmth in his palm, sighed lightly and walked over to check the situation.

It's okay to continue to hold hands and play with those flexible and delicate fingers, and his mind really can't get down to business.

Seeing Xiao Li also coming over, Du Ling hurriedly said his research experience to save face: "It seems that the eldest lady really didn't talk nonsense, this house is completely sunk into the ground." ”

That's why the ground looks so broken, because in fact, all that is exposed is the roof and upper walls that have been crushed by its own gravity, and the lack of professional rescue and dismantling has created this kind of scene as if it had been smashed by a hammer.

"What's going on, I'm going to use my divine sense to find out, little pear, you can't help, just help me pay attention to whether there are passers-by at this point." Hmph, you are bold and know how to use more eggs, anyway, if you don't cultivate, you can only fight, no more useful than my master.

Du Ling completely ignored the fact that Xiao Li's divine sense was far stronger than his own, and waved his hand to the side to signal not to hinder his actions, only to finally feel that he could raise his eyebrows and puff up after winning back a city.

Releasing one's divine sense to explore places beyond one's reach is the most basic method for cultivators, but it can also be regarded as a very dangerous practice, after all, once the divine consciousness is attacked, it cannot be eliminated in time, and it will even cause damage to the divine soul that is difficult to repair.

Therefore, when the cultivation realm was prosperous, various methods were born that could not only facilitate the use of divine sense, but also protect oneself, and now Du Ling used a kind of doppelganger mirror image method treasured by the Ling Tian Sect - the wisp of divine thought that was separated and explored directly communicated not with the main divine soul, but with the virtual mirror image of the spell, so that even if it was attacked and defeated, the damage would not be reversed to the main body.

To understand from Du Ling's Internet addict youth, it is that before hackers set off to hack others, they first prepared a jumping broiler to prevent arrest.

The security of this method is top-notch, yes, but the difficulty of operation is definitely much more difficult than kidnapping a few broilers, if according to Du Ling's own ideas, he is not happy to be so troublesome, anyway, now only the demon clan who does not like to temper the divine soul is in charge, where are there so many dangerous divine consciousness attacks?

Helpless to learn any spells, after all, Xiao Li, who took the safety of his life as the first consideration, had the final say.

As a reward for this overprotection, he deprived Xiao Li of the authority to use his divine sense on the grounds that "since you said that it is dangerous for your divine sense to run naked, then you, who can't use your spiritual power at any time, should be more careful." Not only that, every time Du Ling practiced using this trick, he would take the trouble to remind someone to protect the Fa, so that the other party could also understand how annoying this kind of formalism was.

However, this qiē ironic effort is in vain.

His Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, who has immortal logic and explosive boyfriend power, doesn't understand the hidden irony at all, and every time he holds a sword and stands solemnly, he regards this as a heavy mission, and now Du Ling has become accustomed to his caution, if there is no guardian god standing behind him, he can't concentrate on casting spells.

On the contrary, as long as Xiao Li did not warn, he could concentrate on the information captured by his divine sense, without being distracted by other things.

This time is no exception -

As his divine sense penetrated into the ground, Du Ling's face gradually became strange.

In the underground part of the ruins, he didn't find any traces of talismans or spells, and he didn't even feel a strong demonic aura, but the so-called 'villa' with very thin and shoddy walls had a big strange cavity underneath, and it was messy and not even sealed with cement, and it looked like an underground warehouse dug up without permission.

It can't be the legendary joke of being greedy enough to dig the basement and collapse the house, right? Du Ling felt that he had begun to replay the secret BGM of "Out of Superstition" in his mind.

Do you think too much about it?

It's also to blame for bumping into an old dog who has misled his thinking, in fact, where does a monster who has the ability to demolish a house dare to act so blatantly, don't you see that even the old jackal who cultivates demons has to take a detour?

Thinking so, Du Ling began to withdraw his released divine sense.

But at this moment,
