024. Hyakki Night Walk

Luo Yu grabbed the soul nourishing banner with his left hand, pinched a magic trick with his right hand, and made a light move.

The wind and snow above his head became fierce in an instant, and the wind was biting.

Two green flames lit up in the originally empty eye sockets of the skull on the face of the Soul Nourishing Banner, and its mouth slowly opened wide, as if it was silently roaring at the night sky.

Immediately after, in Luo Yu's field of vision, sporadic lights suddenly appeared in the originally dark and silent small village, but it was miserable green.

After a few breaths, the originally empty snow became shadowy and crowded with a large crowd of people.

However, these people are a little different from normal people, they are basically missing hands and legs, and some don't even have heads.

They quietly walked towards Luo Yu step by step, sending out "Sand... Sand....", but the snow behind him was clean, and there was not a single footprint.

Ghost!

Or rather, ghosts.

If ordinary people were around, they might be scared by this gloomy and terrifying scene.

Luo Yu threw out the Soul Nourishing Banner in his hand, and the Soul Nourishing Banner was suspended in mid-air and spun drippingly.

When the ghosts of the villagers saw the Soul Raising Banner, they immediately rushed towards the Soul Raising Banner like moths to a fire, and then turned into a cloud of green fire, which was swallowed up by the Soul Raising Banner one after another...

A group of black-armored knights rushed into the village on horseback, and the villagers panicked, but the knights said they were only looking for two villagers who were familiar with the surrounding terrain to act as guides.

The villagers quickly elected two strong youths, and the knights took them with them, leaving behind some gold coins.

The villagers were overjoyed, thinking that they had met a noble lord who had come to hunt.

Within a few days, the black-armored knights went and returned, taking almost all the young men in the village with them, still leaving behind a large sum of money.

The villagers were so happy, even happier than the Chinese New Year, that the black-armored knights had left behind money that they had worked hard for a lifetime that they could not earn.

The black-armored knights returned for the third time, and this time the villagers were about to welcome them, only to be greeted by the knights' cold butcher knives.....

"It's them!"

Luo Yu opened his eyes, and after the Soul Raising Banner subdued the ghosts of the dead villagers into Yin Spirits, he could see some of the memories of Yin Spirits before their deaths.

He had just checked the memories of the villagers before they died, and he saw the group of black-armored knights slaughtering the villagers, with an inverted cross sign on the hilt of the long sword in their hand.

None other than the people of the Dark See.

"Since you are a member of the Dark Sect, you must have come here for the Demon Crystal Mine."

"First find the locals to be guides, and then take all the young and strong laborers from the village..."

"Looks like they've already found the location of the Crystal Mine, and they can't wait for people to start mining..."

"But it's been snowing heavily these days, and these guys, plus the villagers who were arrested to work as miners, food should be a big problem."

Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Yu's mouth unconsciously hooked up a trace of arc.

He originally thought that if he found this group of guys, he would find the magic crystal mine, but now it seems that he doesn't even need to look for it, just wait at home for this group of people to deliver it to the door by themselves.

The ghosts of the entire village were all contained by the Soul Raising Banner, a total of thirty-four ghosts, all of whom were ghosts of the elderly, children, and women.

Luo Yu doesn't care, anyway, the ghost strength of ordinary people is about the same, it doesn't matter if they are young or young.

Now these ghosts are not even the lowest-level ghost soldiers, and they need to be fed slowly with flesh and blood to grow quickly, of course, having magic crystals is the best.

At this stage, their role is only to scare people, and the only advantage is that as long as the soul nourishing banner is not destroyed, these yin spirits will not die even if they are killed, and they can be resurrected from the soul raising banner when they die.

The preparation that Luo Yu had told Belif before was to nourish the soul flag, but now that the preparation was completed, Luo Yu turned around and walked back to the village.

Not long after entering the village, I saw Longman hurrying over with a few guards.

"I've finally found you, Master Agareth."

Langman was visibly relieved when he saw Luo Yu's figure.

Luo Yu asked in surprise: "Did something happen?" ”

Langman stopped talking, and replied hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's just that this village seems to be a little... It's not clean, young master, don't run around. ”

Luo Yuchai must have seen the ghosts of the villagers in Langman and the guards, and he was amused in his heart, but he made a disapproving look on his face, nodded and said that he understood.

Longman didn't know how to explain it, and he was afraid of being ridiculed and scolded by Luo Yu when he said something about the ghost, so he could only escort Luo Yu back with the guards sullenly.

Luo Yu walked into the room and found Belif shivering in the corner of the bed wrapped in a blanket.

He walked over and lifted the corner of the blanket, and Belif inside screamed.

"Ahh

Belif jumped to the ground, her clothes were already on, and she was about to rush out of the house without looking back.

Luo Yu hurriedly grabbed her, and shouted helplessly: "It's me!" ”

Bellev looked back, only to realize that it was Luo Yu.

Bellev hurriedly threw herself into Luo Yu's arms, her face full of horror and she felt like she was about to cry.

"Agareth, there's a ghost! There are ghosts in this village..."

Seeing Bellive's pitiful appearance like a frightened little beast, Luo Yu couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that he has just sacrificed and cultivated the soul cultivation flag, and he has really made a lot of noise.

"I didn't expect you, a dignified official magician, to be afraid of a few little ghosts?"

Luo Yu smiled and spoke.

Belif suddenly understood, "You made the hell!" ”

She was ashamed and angry, raised her hand and wanted to hit Luo Yu, but she didn't dare to do it, and finally she could only bite Luo Yu's chest hatefully to vent her anger.

"Let go of me!"

Belif blushed and wanted to break free from Luo Yu's arms, but was tightly held by Luo Yu and didn't let go.

Luo Yu looked at the shy look of Bel Liv in his arms, and his heart moved, and the extinguished flame was ignited again.

"I'm done, let's continue what I didn't do just now..."

Luo Yu whispered in Bellive's ear.

"I... I regret it.."

"It's late."

Soon the room resounded with a voice like a cuckoo bird.

Because of the haunting incident, Longman, who personally led the guards to patrol on a snowy night, passed by the hut and immediately cast an envious look inside, then shook his head and continued to seriously search for traces of the "ghosts"...

The next day, Luo Yu called Langman and asked him to arrange a guard at the entrance and end of the village to take turns to guard it.

Fires and lamps are also not allowed in any of the rooms.

Everyone doesn't know why, this cold weather without a stove is almost freezing to death.

But Luo Yu's attitude was tough, and he himself didn't make a fire, so everyone had to obediently obey.

However, Longman seemed to have thought of something, and faithfully carried out Luo Yu's orders.

"Will they really come back?"

In the room, Bellive, who was wrapped in a thick blanket, whispered to Luo Yu.
