Chapter 27: Quyang Ghost Town
Luo Xi and Qin Yurong traveled from the original Flowing Fire Country to the Qi State on foot or by fly, and stayed in Wuling City of the Qi State for many days.
On this day, the two of them went out of Wuling City and went to the northeast, and from the news inquired, Luo Xi knew that it would be 50,000 miles to the northeast to go out of Zhongyuanzhou and reach the territory of Weizhou, where there was a small vassal state, called Fengxue Country.
The land area of the Wind and Snow Country is very small, and the population is only a few million, but the Wind and Snow Country is the best at refining sword weapons, and it is extremely famous in the Dragon Continent, it is said that it can greatly improve the grade of the Heavenly Xuanguang Flying Sword, Qin Yurong revealed to Luo Xi that the Xuanguang Flying Sword of Leng Shuang Mei has been quenched by a sword refining family in the Wind and Snow Country, and it is extremely good at her Xuanguang Battle Sword, which can be divided into seventy-two flying swords at the same time, which is extremely sharp, and even the legend that the refining family of the Wind and Snow Country can also give the Xuanguang Flying Sword a spirit, once the spirit of the weapon is successful, this Xuanguang Flying Sword is equivalent to changing the world and becoming an artifact, and its power is far greater than beforeใ
Luo Xi's first Xuanguang weapon was a flying sword, so he made up his mind to go to the country of wind and snow.
Coming out of Wuling City, while playing and hurrying, ten days later, one evening, the two flew to a small town, due to Luo Xi's practice, although he was in the air at a height of thousands of zhang, he was still keenly aware that the yin qi on the ground was thicker than other places, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, under normal circumstances, there should not be such a heavy yin qi in the place where human beings live. In order to find out, he decided to go down and take a look, and Qin Yurong naturally followed his wishes.
As soon as they hit the ground, the two of them immediately saw that something was wrong, the streets of this town were quite wide, with shops on both sides, but there were almost no pedestrians, only two or three elderly people who were about to die sat under the eaves, their eyes were demented. Due to the very small population, weeds more than half a man tall have grown on the road, but a few night cats chase through the grass, and the scene is bleak and gloomy.
Luo Xi felt that the wind was gusting here, and the cold was quite deep, which was very much in line with his heart, if he could practice here for a period of time, it would be very beneficial to improve his cultivation. Qin Yurong's daughter's house, seeing that this place was desolate and cold, couldn't help but get goosebumps, and was timid in her heart, and said: "Eh! There is something wrong here, I'm afraid there is something wrong, let's leave quickly, I feel very uncomfortable." โ
"Hehe, what are you afraid of with me, we only have two months, and it's not fun to be too dull. Luo Xi patted his chest, looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth. Luo Xi himself grew up with a group of monsters, and there was really nothing he was afraid of, as for ghosts or anything, he didn't take it to heart at all, the yin qi here was extremely strong, which made him feel like he was reunited after a long absence.
Qin Yurong was very helpless, and cautiously leaned closer to Luo Xi's side, a little nervous.
In a dilapidated shop, on the threshold sat a silver-haired old woman, holding a cane in her hand, looking at the two Luo Xi who came over, her eyes were dull, and there was no expression on her face, just like an old monk who was settled, looking down on life and death, and looking at no joy and no worries.
"Old man, we are from out of town, may I ask what kind of place is this?" Luo Xi stepped forward and asked with a salute, Qin Yurong followed closely behind Luo Xi.
The old woman looked up at Luo Xi for a long time, her eyes were cloudy and expressionless, and she opened her mouth for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, "Quyang Town." The old woman's voice was dry and hoarse, and her voice was slurred, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Old man, is this the boundary of the Wind and Snow Country?"
The old woman's ears were also good, obviously she understood Luo Xi's question, her face was expressionless, but she nodded.
Luo Xi saw Qin Yurong's eyes frightened, so he reached out and took Qin Yurong's hand and turned away, Qin Yurong's hand shrank slightly, but Luo Xi was holding it very tightly and couldn't break free, so he stopped struggling and let Luo Xi lead him.
The two walked a few steps, and the old woman's hoarse voice came from behind them: "Young man, I advise you not to go forward." โ
Qin Yurong's heart tightened for a while, and he took the initiative to squeeze Luo Xi's hand, Luo Xi laughed in his heart, and his heart was unusually sweet. "Old man, why can't you go any further, is there something going on here?" Luo Xi asked curiously. "Hell, very powerful ghost. The old woman's eyes were glazed, and she babbled a few more words, which only she could hear.
"Luo Xi, I'm afraid, let's not go any further!" Qin Yurong's voice trembled a little.
"Ghost?" Luo Xi suddenly laughed: "Haha, if you really want to have a ghost, I'll catch one for you to play with!"
Qin Yurong saw that Luo Xi was unmoved, and looked fearless, and felt better in his heart, but he still held Luo Xi's hand tightly. Luo Xi felt the smooth and delicate softening in his palm, his heart was stirring, he was very happy, and said secretly: "It's really right to come here!"
Seeing Luo Xi's eyebrows fluttering and looking like a villain, Qin Yurong's cheeks turned red in twilight, and she was ashamed in her heart, she pulled her hand violently, broke free of Luo Xi's palm, and took a few steps forward, Luo Xi hurried over and was next to her.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, a wild cat barked, and ran through the grass in front of Qin Yurong and the others, startling Qin Yurong with an "ah" sound, and threw herself into Luo Xi's arms, Luo Xi was trying to take the opportunity to get some cheap, and suddenly noticed that the yin qi here was heavier, several times that of the yin qi in front! He turned his head to look at a large mansion with a closed gate on the left, the weeds in front of the door were more than half a person high, and the walls of the house were towering, but the walls had been mottled and peeled off, as if they had experienced a fire.
At this time, the sun had set in the West Mountain, and the sky was dark, although it was early autumn, the cold here was quite deep, and Qin Yurong felt that there was a chill in his bones.
"Yu Rong, there is something strange in this house, you wait for me here, I'll go in and have a look. Luo Xi had already changed her tune and no longer called her Miss Qin or Miss Qin.
"I ...... Fear. Qin Yurong's usual strength and savagery are gone, and her heart is like fifteen buckets, fluttering and jumping non-stop, which is completely the weakness and panic of a woman.
At this moment, Luo Xi's masculinity was fully revealed, and he no longer teased her, and said solemnly: "Yu Rong, with me, there is nothing to be afraid of, because of the exercises I cultivate, the yin qi here is quite helpful to me, but the yin qi is strange, I need to investigate clearly." Don't forget, you are a celestial monk, so why not be afraid of ghosts!"
Luo Xi's words are like a reassuring pill, Qin Yurong also realized that he was unnecessarily weak, after more than ten years of cultivation, he had the Xuanmen Divine Skill to protect his body, and ordinary ghosts could not get close, so why be afraid!
Qin Yurong nodded and said, "Be careful, call me if you have something." Luo Xi smiled and turned to walk towards the mansion. Pushing open the long-sealed wooden door, the door frame was covered with cobwebs, a dilapidated courtyard, three or five large trees in the courtyard had been burned by the fire, only the carbonized main pole remained, the weeds grew to the height of a man's head, and a stone staircase road was submerged in the grass, leading to the collapsed half of the building in front of it.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, the moon climbed up the east mountain, and the sky was starry, except for the chirping of insects, it was quite calm.
Luo Xi came to the pavilion along the stone steps, pushed open the door that was only half burned, and saw by the moonlight that the door was a spacious hall, at first sight, he knew that it was a rich family, the ground was a broken porcelain vase, the ground was smooth and bright marble, but the dust was very thick, there were collapsed wooden beams and bricks everywhere, the first two rosewood carved chairs on the hall were relatively well preserved, and the right side of the hall was a burned eight-sided screen, only the skeleton remained.
The more he went inside, the heavier the yin qi became, Luo Xi did not feel nervous at all, but felt very excited, his experience and growth environment made Luo Xi's psychological quality extremely firm. Luo Xi runs the Spirit Palace, the Kundalini flows through the eight veins of the body, and his whole body is full of strength, he slowly walks through the hall silently, there is a back door behind him, the door has been burned out, only the stone door frame, outside the back door is an inner courtyard, at this time an extremely rich yin qi rushed to his face.
Luo Xi walked into the inner courtyard, bypassed a few dead trees, and then crossed a garden gate, and arrived at a backyard, Luo Xi stopped a little at a flower bed, a few zhang away in front of a side room, listened for a while, it seemed that someone was crying, faint and resentful, like a song and crying, it seemed extremely weird, making people creepy.
But Luo Xi is not afraid of this! He continued to walk towards the door of the wing room with bated breath, and quietly walked into the wing room, and saw that a cloud of fog was floating in front of him, and a humanoid black shadow in the fog was sinking and floating, and he didn't know what it was. The cold here is more than ten times that of the outside! With Luo Xi's physique, he shuddered, and he operated the Spirit Palace to suppress this yin qi. Luo Xi quietly stood in front of the mist, no more than three feet away, tilted his head to look, and when he got closer, he found that there was really a ghost in the mist, saying that it was a ghost thing, but in fact, it was not much different from people, a miserable white face, a cloak, a red embroidered robe, his feet were empty, his eyes were slightly closed, and his mouth was closed, as if he was breathing.
The ghost seemed to sense something, and its head moved slightly.
Luo Xi's childlike heart was not clear, not only was he not afraid, but he also wanted to play tricks on this ghost, so he moved his body and hid behind the ghost.
The ghost suddenly opened his eyes, two green lights flashed in his eyes, and his head looked around, but he didn't find anyone behind him, but he clearly noticed that something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong. Finally, the ghost thing stopped cultivating, his feet touched the ground, the mist dissipated, and he suddenly arrived at the door to investigate, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he inhaled violently in his nostrils.
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded behind him: "What are you?"
The ghost creature was suddenly startled by Luo Xi who appeared! Subconsciously wanted to escape, Luo Xi had already taken precautions, how could he let it run away! The pulse wheel roared out behind him, and a dark light flew out, turning into a green barrier in front of the ghost creature, making it impossible to get out.
The ghost thing turned around at this moment, and saw clearly that there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old bald boy in front of him, stopped, but no longer panicked, his miserable white and weird face looked gloomy, his eyes flashed with green light, and he said in a voice like a broken gong: "Hehe, celestial child! What are you doing here? Why are you disturbing my cultivation?"
"I occasionally pass by here and see that the town is empty, so I came here to check, it turns out that you are here to make trouble!" Luo Xi shouted.
The ghost seemed to notice that Luo Xi was unusual, and quieted down, surrounded by black qi on his body, and his eyes flashed, "Hehe, how are you doing?"
"It's not good, if you bring disaster to the world, you can't miserrate the lives of the people!"
"Looking for death!" The sound of the ghost breaking the gong sounded, and ten black qi flew out from behind it and took Luo Xi directly!
Luo Xi didn't dare to take it hard, and performed the Liangyi Four Elephant Body Method, and his body disappeared without a trace, but he suddenly flew behind the ghost, and as soon as the Xuanguang came out, a Xuanguang flying sword was condensed in the air, Luo Xi pointed a little, and the flying sword slashed at the ghost.
"Hehe, arrogant, even if you dare to come out at this point, you don't know how thick the sky is!" The ghost thing drove the ten black qi like ten giant pythons to swoop on Luo Xi, and the speed was very fast. Luo Xi's two instruments and four images are not trivial, flashing left and right, flying up and down, and the ten black qi can't catch his whereabouts at all, so he can't help it.
The ghost thing seemed to see the extraordinary body of the bald young man in front of him, and snorted, the black qi no longer chased after him, but was outflanked in ten directions, and ten black qi filled the entire house from ten directions, and there was not much space for Luo Xi to dodge, and he was a little in a hurry at this time.
But Luo Xi is not afraid, he still has a killer weapon yet!
