Chapter 129: The Tide Rises
"Although the number of ghosts in Zhongling District is large, it is not enough to make the adults in Dongqian City jealous, what they are afraid of is the portal to Taishan Domain located in Zhongling District, and these two things are specially prepared in the city to seal that portal, as long as it is completely sealed, the ghosts in Zhongling District will not be a problem, and it is a rare opportunity for a hundred ghosts to travel at night tonight."
Looking at the array diagram and the town tombstone, Xia Mu knew that this was a good thing. If it can really be done, he will soon have a large amount of chivalrous value in his account, and he will be able to take the opportunity to complete the task of cleaning up the ghosts in Zhongling District, but the risk behind this has to make Xia Mu have some concerns.
"Dongqiancheng doesn't say that there are many talents, but people like me can still come up with a dozen, right? How did you find me? "Natsuki isn't so narcissistic as to think he's such a great character. Such an important object and a task of great importance cannot be done by a boy who has just entered the city for a few days.
Wan Fengchun smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I didn't understand it at first, but this matter really has to be you. It's a long story, when they signed a peace contract with the ghosts in Zhongling District, the major families had selfish intentions and made an agreement not to make a move on the family's lineage."
"But at the same time, the ghost side also restricts these people from entering the core area of Zhongling District, unless they become ghosts, and according to estimates, the core area of Zhongling District is extremely full of yin energy, and those who can enter at this time must have extremely strong yang energy or practice exercises with top-level yin attributes."
"In short, after an innate master who is proficient in calculations, there are only a few people who can be suitable, including you, and you are my aunt's disciple, and you happen to live in Zhongling District and bought all that land, the adults in the city feel that this is the will of heaven, so they are all interested in you."
After some explanation, Xia Mu dispelled some doubts, but he couldn't work in vain, and the emperor was not a hungry soldier.
"As long as you can seal that portal, the entire Zhongling District will be yours."
"Besides, I bought it with real money, so you won't be so picky, will you? Give me back my stuff as if I've taken advantage of it. They don't want to prostitute for nothing, do they?"
"What do you say! It's ugly. "This real female man, it is rare to show a trace of amorous appearance, and he gave Xia Mu a roll of his eyes." Also, those people said that they have covered all the resources you have in the innate stage, and they will give you a chance to break through the innate level. ”
"It's done!"
Wan Fengchun was surprised by his decisiveness, and originally thought that he would have to pull for a few more rounds, but he didn't expect to agree so easily? "You too...... It's too fast. ”
Natsuki gave him a roll of his eyes, "Don't say such misleading things about me, and now you can burn your eyebrows, let's hurry." ”
Xia Mu put the sealing array and the town tombstone into his space backpack, and with a whistle, he summoned the horse king Dongfeng, and instantly constructed armor to cover his whole body.
"What a cool armor, lend me a ride for two days when you come back."
Knowing that he was worried about his own safety, Natsuki smiled, "Okay." ”
At this time, there seemed to be a breeze hanging in the sky above Dongqian City, but when you looked at it, there was nothing, only thousands of black butterflies took advantage of the wind of the five elements and floated down into everyone's alley.
Natsuki curiously stretched out his fingers, letting one of them stay on his fingertips. It looks like a butterfly, but the whole body is black and swarthy, with only a vague outline, and when you want to investigate the details, you can't see it clearly.
"What is this?" Natsuki asked curiously. I didn't notice Wan Fengchun's face change sharply.
"Throw him away!" Wan Fengchun shouted eagerly.
Natsuki didn't perceive the threat from the butterfly, but he knew the weirdness of this world, and he was obedient and threw an identification technique at the same time.
【?? 】
Brief introduction:???
For a moment, Natsuki thought the system was down.
It's just that after performing the identification, the black butterfly was instantly shattered, which surprised Xia Mu even more, the identification technique clearly did not have any attack power.
"What the hell is this?"
Wan Fengchun pointed to the other black butterfly and said, "Look. ”
The black butterfly landed on a signboard. It flicked its wings slightly, and the words on the sign faded little by little, until the whole sign was blank.
"It's Kuroshio." "The Kuroshio that can drag everything into secrecy," she said. These butterflies are just the vanguard when the tide comes, it feeds on information, words and language, everything can be swallowed, and what is swallowed by the black tide will be forgotten by everyone, even if it is a living person......" Two lines of tears flowed down Wan Fengchun's cheeks.
It's the first time Xia Mu has heard such a weird thing, "It's the first time I've heard that Kuroshio actually has such attributes, why are you still crying." ”
"I didn't mean to hide it, I just remembered it a short time...... When the Kuroshio fades, he will take away the memories related to himself with him, except for some great cultivators who can keep the memories about them, otherwise only when the Kuroshio is rising, can you remember the things about it, as well as the things and people that were once devoured by him. ”
Natsuki knew that with the arrival of the Kuroshio, she should have found some memories of herself, but she didn't know what she was devouring and deserving of such a injury.
"What's the deal with this kind of thing?"
"To be honest, I don't know, the way I understand is to take the initiative to throw out some information, they will be attracted to it, and then keep their minds, don't think nonsense, just think that they are a stone without thoughts. As for killing them...... I've never seen such a martial art, and I'm curious how you just did it? ”
Natsuki recalled, realizing that it was identification, and according to Wan Fengjun, these butterflies were able to devour information, but identification was extracting information from them. These are two opposing forces.
"The Kuroshio and the Hyakki Night Walk are coming at the same time, and I don't know how much chaos it will bring to the city." Wan Fengchun looked at Xia Mu.
"Understood, I'll set off, you pay attention to yourself."
As he spoke, the east wind let out a long hiss, and lightning rushed through the streets and alleys, heading straight for the Zhongling District.
At this time, the Zhongling District was completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the past days and nights, and the ghost kings entrenched here were now taking their younger brothers to make trouble in the city, until Xia Mu shattered the peace of this place with a murderous and ghostly aura.
Along the way, he swept with a silver spear, and he didn't know how many ghosts he had killed. It's just that the east wind is extremely fast, and it is difficult for the ghosts who are angered by him to catch up. Leaving behind this time, he didn't expect to be able to hide the 'ghost'. Presumably, the news of his entry into the Zhongling District at this time has been noticed by the ghost kings who stayed behind.
A dark wind suddenly blew behind him. An eerie laugh came from the back of his head: "Hey, hey, hey...... Humans, so bold, but Lord Turbidity had expected it. ”。
Then, four ghost kings appeared and surrounded Xia Mu.
There is no escape!
