Chapter 202: Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night

There were old people, children, young men and women in the crowd, some of them were silently selling goods in the stalls, some of them stopped in front of the stalls and carefully selected, and there were also strangely shaped guys mixed in. Some of them had long tongues, some had no body, only heads and long hair fluttering in the wind, and some had blue fangs, but the people seemed to be used to it, and some of them were talking and laughing with the monsters.

Li Qing looked at the scene below, feeling the breath of those "humans", his whole body couldn't stop trembling, and those "people" exuded a very heavy cold aura, or ghost aura. Those guys who appear on the streets, not people, but ghosts! Could this be the legendary Hyakki Night Walk?! Legend has it that the appearance of a hundred ghosts in one place at night is a hundred consecutive days, and one more ghost is added every day. Whenever night comes, the whole road is empty, at this time there will be many strange-shaped monsters, like the procession of a temple fair, with hideous faces, walking on the main road, living a nightlife like a human, lively and extraordinary. But it is said that those who witness it suffer a curse and die for no reason.

No wonder there was no one on the street at dusk, no wonder the shopkeeper told them not to come out at night, it turned out that this was the reason, could it be that the demons did not invade this and the surrounding towns, and this is also the reason? Then again, are demons afraid of ghosts?

"Senior Brother Tianmo, how can there be so many ghosts......" Li Qing's face turned pale with fright, although he had mana and had encountered many demons, he was still a little scared when he encountered so many ghosts at once.

"Are you scared?"

Li Qing nodded lightly and slammed the window shut. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and gasped for breath, "Senior Brother Tianmo, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid," Tianmo smiled lightly, "In fact, the most terrifying thing in the world is not the demons and monsters, but the human heart." If you are afraid, stay alone at the inn and don't go out, and I'll go out to find out. ”

"No, it's too dangerous, fifty people came out together, now there are only two of you and me left, you are a divine guest, I won't let you go on an adventure alone."

Tian Mo raised the corners of his mouth and gently touched Li Qing's head, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, although there are many of these ghosts, and there are many hideous and terrifying ones, I don't feel the slightest anger and resentment." This shows that they should not hurt people. Each of the Six Realms has rules that restrict it, and these ghosts are not in the Ghost Realm, but they appear here, there must be something strange in this, I must go and see what is going on. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Qing raised his head and seemed to have made a lot of determination, "Since this is the case, I will go with you, multiple people, and multiple helpers." ”

Tianmo saw Li Qing's transformation, and the smile on his face deepened a little, "Okay, go out in a while, in order to prevent accidents, you must always follow me firmly." ”

"Okay, Senior Brother Tianmo, I remember."

As soon as the words fell, Tianmo opened the window, pulled Li Qing to jump down from the window, and landed firmly on the roof, and then jumped, under the cover of night, the two hid in the shadow of a remote alley, and used the technique of holding their breath to hold their breath.

Feeling the biting cold chill around him, Li Qing couldn't help but shiver coldly, carefully Tianmo noticed Li Qing's discomfort, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and took off his coat and draped it on Li Qing's body. He is a demon, these ghost qi can't affect him at all, and because Yingchen gave him all the power of the God and Demon Pill, his strength has increased greatly, and these are not worth mentioning to him at all.

"Take it, I'm not cold."

Tian Mo's hand inadvertently touched Li Qing's neck, and the coldness in his hand made his strength shiver.

Senior Brother Tianmo himself had frozen like this but still gave his clothes to himself, he blinked, wrapped Tianmo's clothes on his body and wrapped them, his heart was full of emotion. Senior Brother Tianmo is really a good person......

"Senior Brother Tianmo, what are we going to do?" Li Qing cautiously leaned against the cold wall, although he had cast the technique of holding his breath, he was still so nervous that he didn't even dare to make a sound. Although he mustered up the courage to follow, he still didn't know what to do, and he just looked at the wall and seemed to be unable to come to any conclusions.

"Mixed in with them, of course."

Before Li Qing could react, Tianmo had already dragged him into the middle of these ghosts. The two followed the group of ghosts, carefully listening to their conversation as they went, trying to see if they could find any clues. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of ghosts, several ghosts passed through the bodies of the two at once in an extremely crowded state.

The two ghosts were there, and the surroundings suddenly became silent, and the silence made people feel a little scary. Countless pairs of eyes stared straight at Tianmo and Li Qing, making people feel terrifying. After a while, there were sudden bursts of panicked screams and footsteps in the otherwise quiet air.

The ghosts fled in panic and soon disappeared without a trace.

These ghosts actually ran away, and judging from the reaction of these ghosts just now, they saw that the two of them seemed to be scared, or rather panicked, and ran away. Why are they like this? Li Qing stood in place suspiciously, struggling to think about the reason.

Tian Mo was also a little puzzled by the behavior of these ghosts, why did they all run away, could it be that his aura as a demon was accidentally exposed? But even if they were exposed, the ghosts' reactions were too exaggerated, and they wouldn't be left alone.

"Senior Brother Tianmo...... They...... What's wrong...... Aren't they all cowards......"

"It's really possible that this is the case," Tianmo smiled slightly, "Alas, it seems that there is no way to carry out the investigation, so I can only go back to sleep first, and I can only see if they will appear again tomorrow night." ”

Li Qing followed Tianmo back to the inn, lying on the bed in his room and immediately fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, since he left the division, he has been running around, bleeding, and spending time in fear, he has not had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Li Qing didn't know how long he had been sleeping, he only felt that he had slept very dead and heavy. The next morning, he was woken up by the sound of the temple bells, which were so powerful that they could still be heard at such a distance from the inn.

He opened the window, breathed in the fresh air, and stretched wide. The sun had just risen in the sky, and the light and darkness had just made a clear boundary, and when he looked up, he could even see the shining stars.

I was tired from yesterday, and Senior Brother Tianmo shouldn't have gotten up yet.

He was stretching his waist while thinking about going to find Tianmo, but suddenly heard the sound of sword practice in the courtyard downstairs, he poked his head out, leaned down and saw that the person who practiced sword was Tianmo. He was holding a dark iron long sword, and a set of swordsmanship danced like a dragon out of the water, exquisite.

Noticing Li Qing's gaze above, Tianmo stopped the movement in his hand, raised his head and smiled softly at him, the warmth in his eyes was like the March sun. He put the sword into the scabbard behind his back, jumped up with his luck, and flew directly from the ground into Li Qing's room on the third floor.

He dusted off his robe, turned to Li Qing and smiled, "I thought you would sleep a little longer, but I didn't expect you to get up so early." ”

"Senior Brother Tianmo got up so early, there is no reason for me, as a junior brother, to let Senior Brother wait for me, Senior Brother, what are we going to do today? Do you still want to continue looking for the Xiao Xiao girl in the Dust Moon Valley you mentioned? ”

"No, we have more important things to do today."

"More important things?"

"That's right, you go downstairs for breakfast first, and we'll go out to run errands after eating."

Tian Mo raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked out of the room, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a deep color, after yesterday's day of searching, there was still no clue about Xiao Xiao. He was a little suspicious of whether that person was Xiao Xiao after all, she and Mo Qi were obviously in the Demon Realm, and they were detained by the lingering dust, why did they appear here. Even if they left there, why did Xiao Xiao appear here alone, and where did Mo Qi go? These are one mystery after another waiting for him to solve.

The autumn weather is always so bright and sunny, Li Qing followed Tian Mo and walked down the street constantly looking east and west, he was curious about everything that he had not been deeply involved in. He looked here, looked there, and was on guard, afraid of being discovered by Tianmo. After a busy journey, through the streets and alleys, the two finally reached their destination. The place where the bell rang out - Hanguang Temple.

Hanguang Temple is not very big, compared to Lingyang Palace and Shenguan can be said to be small and pitiful, but the incense here is very vigorous, so early there is an endless stream of pilgrims to come here, incense to make wishes, chanting and praying. Li Qing looked at the people around him and Tianmo and lowered his head a little embarrassed, but the two Taoist priests appeared in the holy land of Buddhism, which was really embarrassing, plus the two people were still carrying swords, in the eyes of outsiders, they were really suspected of smashing the field.

Although Tianmo and Li Qing believed in Taoism, they still swaggered into the main hall, and bowed to the Buddha under the stunned gaze of Xiao Shami and the strange eyes of everyone, which was regarded as a greeting to the Buddha.

The two turned left and right, and when they saw that no one was stopping them, they swaggered around the temple and came to the tall Van Tower that could be seen at a glance in the whole city. Countless copper bells are hung on the eaves of the tower, jingling in the wind, as if telling the world something......
