Chapter 111: Yin Virtue is Damaged, and the Sky Has Eyes
Previously, the young man in white was one of the most avoided existences of the team, but now it was the opposite.
So when there was no figure of that person next to the boundary monument, everyone's faces could hardly hide their loss.
Looking at the two words Wuhu on the boundary monument, everyone remained silent.
If Lin Xiao or Yu Liang were here, they would definitely ask: "What's wrong now?" ”
It's a pity that neither of them is there, so the atmosphere is a little silent.
Silence, silence.
If you don't die in silence, you explode in silence.
Maybe Qi Zhen thought of some episodes in Journey to the West, or it was just a sudden playfulness because of helplessness, in short, he stomped on the ground with his foot, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.
"The old man of the land comes out!"
He imitated the monkey's tone, that is, there was a lack of a stick in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the smoke and dust dissipated, but the young man in white suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
He looked at the people in front of him coldly, and said indifferently: "What's the matter? ”
"You said let's come to see you, no, we're here." Qi Zhen replied.
"Someone found?" The man in white asked.
"Found it."
"What about people?"
Qi Zhen really couldn't stand this way of talking, he covered his forehead, and said with a look of annoyance: "Lord Land, please, we have the same goal now, can you not be so condescending when you speak?" ”
The man in white raised his eyebrows, and a coercion rolled towards Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen didn't notice it, and stared at the eyes of the man in white like this.
His gaze was extremely sharp, and after looking at it for a long time, Qi Zhen actually felt a slight stinging in his eyes.
But don't be cowardly!
"If you have the ability, you will kill us, let me tell you, that person has sucked all the ghost power of the female ghost, let's pat our ass and leave, see what you do next."
Qi Zhen completely ignored the anxious look shown by Meng Ran on the side, and still said strongly.
There was one sentence he didn't tell his teammates.
Whether it was following Lin Xi closely all the time to stop the killing, or asking the team to enter the Jiuzi, or even sending a demon cultivator from a place under his jurisdiction to desperately prevent Lin Xi from completing the last step, it all meant that this matter was a top priority for the man in white.
And the reason why the team was asked to complete this matter was not only that Lin Xiao himself was too deeply involved in this matter, but also because the strength of the team was strong enough that the man in white made this decision.
Now that Lin Xiao is dead, the team has lost the most imminent motive to make a move, although it seems that the situation has not changed dramatically, the team still has to solve this matter, investigate the truth and avenge Lin Xiao, but the man in white is not clear.
Plus Qi Zhen has some guesses that are difficult to put into words.
As a result, the current team can have room for bargaining with the other party, and can even give the other party the illusion of leaving.
Although it doesn't really say go, it gives the man in white an attitude of nonchalance, which is the art of negotiation.
"What do you want?"
After a long time, the man in white retracted his act of exerting coercion on the other party, and said lightly, a little lonely in his words.
"The truth." Qi Zhen said, "If you don't know what happened, we refuse to help you do anything and provide you with any information. ”
"You can't kill us anyway, can you?"
The man nodded, agreeing with Qi Zhen's statement.
"You're right, but just because I don't want to kill you doesn't mean I can't do it."
The man spoke.
"Because as a land, killing you will degrade Yin's virtue."
"If you're right, there's no reason for that person to kill my friend." Qi Zhen asked.
"So there's room for mitigation in this matter." The man said.
Not only Meng Ran, but everyone didn't quite understand what the two of them were fighting.
"I can guess part of it, but I don't know the whole thing, and I ask you to tell me carefully, this is the basis for our cooperation with you." Qi Zhen said.
The man in white nodded, groaned, and spoke slowly.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Ao, and I am a land within a radius of four hundred miles." Speaking of this, Xiao Ao's face gave birth to a strange expression, a little like helplessness, and a little like disdain.
"Since it is canonized by the heavenly court, since it is necessary to guard the land and fulfill its duties, it naturally includes the affairs of the ghosts and demons in a place to prevent them from causing harm to the world."
"A few months ago, I suddenly sensed that an extremely strong ghost aura began to arise in the direction of Wuhu, although it was still very weak at the time, it was not like an ordinary ghost thing that could be cultivated by itself, and later I knew that the woman who was with your companion was this ghost."
"There is a big difference in essence between the ghost power obtained by relying on one's own cultivation and the ghost power obtained by ingesting other people's souls, and this point cannot be felt at all if it is not for the earth immortals."
"I suspected that there was an evil ghost, so I hurried to Wuhu to see the local city god."
"Under the rule of the immortals, I was already under the jurisdiction of the Wuhu City God, and according to the Terran race, he should be my superior commander."
"Listen to what I have to say, and the city god will allow me to investigate this matter and tell me to take care of it again."
"I left with peace of mind, but I didn't want the ghost of this place to become more and more intense, and even began to affect the local climate."
"I was naturally anxious and asked to visit the chief official of the city god again, but I was turned away, and then I couldn't enter the Wuhu boundary again."
"I suspected in my heart that this matter might be related to Chenghuang, but because of the duty department, I couldn't enter the Wuhu boundary." Xiao Ao sighed.
"But your strength is so strong, can't you just break through?" Qi Zhen asked.
Xiao Ao shook his head: "This is the subordinate relationship determined by the Heavenly Realm, and it is difficult to disobey it. Just as there is a county order with high martial arts under the rule of the governor of the state government, if it is not summoned by the governor of the state government, it is not allowed to move around at will, even if there is something important, if the chief official refuses to see it, the subordinates are not allowed to go rashly...... What's more, now that the city gate is closed, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, and the gods, ghosts, demons and demons can enter, but I can't. ”
"Sorry to interrupt, please continue." Qi Zhen stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please.
"It doesn't matter. Later, I accidentally found that this ghost had actually left the Wuhu realm, looking for a living person outside, so I began to follow her traces, but for some reason, although she became more and more ghostly, but inside it seemed to be different from ordinary ghosts, and her whereabouts were ethereal and difficult to track. ”
"I know very well that if this continues, I am afraid that something big will happen, and I dare not slack off, at the cost of my own immortal energy, please ask the demon cultivators from all over the world to assist in patrolling this ghost trace, it is not easy for demons to cultivate, and I am naturally happy to agree if I can get the assistance of immortal energy."
"This time, his whereabouts disappeared in Liyang County, and I went there myself, but I didn't want to meet you."
"I am arrogant by nature, but I don't want to ask for help, this time I hope you will be generous and helpful, if you can keep a place of feng shui peace, he will be rewarded in the future."
Everyone in the team was stunned, and there was a feeling that they were suddenly opened.
Qi Zhen suddenly asked, "Yesterday you told us here to go to Jiuzi to find people, but why did you privately tell me to be careful about Chenghuang?" ”
"The people who travel with you, I always feel that there is a special aura on their bodies, and I naturally dare not divulge the secret of heaven." Xiao Ao said.
"How do you know that the female ghost is in the doves?" Jiang Yan suddenly interjected and asked.
"To tell you the truth, I also knocked on the side and learned that there were monsters in this place, and people often go missing, so I made such a guess, but I didn't know it." Xiao Ao shook his head and said.
Qi Zhen thought about it, told Xiao Ao all the things that happened to Jiuzi and Lin Xi's suspicions before he died, and then said: "I suspect that the man in Tsing Yi is probably Wuhu Chenghuang. ”
"Why?" Meng Ran asked.
"It's not a difficult thing to kill Li San and Lin Xiao casually, I'm afraid it's because I'm an immortal is worried that my yin virtue will be damaged, so I didn't kill the killer, this is one of them; is obviously strong, but he did not absorb the human soul himself, but indirectly obtained power through Lin Xi, which is the second; Don't dare to show your true face when you act, this is the third thing. Qi Zhen analyzed.
"But this is just speculation, how sure can you be?" Jiang Yan said.
"Forty percent, that's enough." Qi Zhen said.
There is one sentence he didn't say, if any character who appears in the game is related to the mission, then that person is the suspicion of the city god, and it will reach ninety percent!
"I think so, I just don't know why he is the way he is." Xiao Ao nodded, agreeing with Qi Zhen's judgment.
"So what should we do next?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Next, you may need to enter Wuhu City, find Chenghuang, whatever he wants to do, stop him!" Xiao Ao said.
"I'll tell you the truth, we can't beat him." Qi Zhen shook her head and said helplessly.
"Not necessarily." Xiao Ao shook his head and said affirmatively.
Qi Zhen was noncommittal.
Fighting is similar to playing chess, where two people with the same rank play against each other, and there are basically back-and-forths, and today you win, tomorrow I win back.
Even if it's a little worse, as long as the gap is not too big, you can find a way to make up for it in other ways.
However, in the case that Xiao Ao was unable to enter the city and the city was the opponent's home stadium, the gap in strength between the two sides was huge, and it was difficult to rely on other ways to make up for the gap between the two sides.
Although Qi Zhen didn't see the other party make a move with his own eyes, whether it was from Li San's feedback or what he sensed outside the courtyard, he gave him a very bad feedback.
With the current strength of the squad, it is even more difficult to break through the opponent's defenses, let alone try to hurt the opponent's body.
This has to be said to be a very sad thing.
Ants can bite an elephant to death, provided there are enough ants and they are not afraid of death.
And now after removing Yu Liang, there are only five people left in the team, and it is unknown whether Meng Ran and himself can be counted as combat power.
Even Li San had tried to attack the other party, but it was probably different from immortals, and the acupoint kung fu that had been tried and tested repeatedly on normal people had completely lost its effectiveness.
Qi Zhen can work hard for her teammates, even for illusory things like justice, but she doesn't want to die in vain.
"If there is even forty percent hope, I can promise you to try it, but in this case, the other party has absorbed the huge ghost power in Lin Xi's body, and I am afraid that if we go, we will die in vain." Qi Zhen said bluntly.
"That's why I think it's entirely possible." Xiao Ao said.
Qi Zhen frowned: "What do you say?" ”
"The first is that he has just absorbed the other party's ghost power, and it takes time to digest and absorb it, and the reason why he didn't turn his head to deal with you is probably inseparable from this; The second is that since he didn't deal with you, he naturally has the same concerns as me, that is, he is afraid of damaging Yin Virtue! ”
"But our companion is dead." Jiang Yan retorted.
"It is precisely because of this that now he must have a loss of yin virtue, and the damage to yin virtue is not like an injury, growing up is growing well, as the so-called sky has eyes, and the yin virtue lost by killing a person is not something that can be completely recovered in just a few days!" Xiao Ao said affirmatively.
