Chapter 39: Escape from the Ghost Town
Xudu, a city that originally belonged to ghosts, has gradually lost its original appearance under modernization, and a large number of mortals live in it. However, there is still a ghost town in the city, but it is also classified as a tourist attraction for the entertainment of mortals. It is a mortal world by day, and a temple of ghosts by night.
As the hours approached the wee hours of the morning, some timid tourists were leaving the ghost town and heading to the modern city. But a few mortals still didn't leave, and by this time the temperature in the ghost town had begun to drop, and a trace of mist filled the streets.
Jiye also felt a familiar aura at this time, and this aura came from the underworld.
"It's a ghost town in the human world. As soon as Ji Ye finished speaking, black figures began to appear all over the city.
The mortals who were still in the ghost town also felt the change, so they began to flee outside in panic. Now that the ghosts have appeared, it will not be easy for them to leave. And the administrators who persuaded them before have long since disappeared, and others don't know the horrors in the ghost town, but they know quite well.
"Senior, do we want to catch a mortal and come back to suck his yang energy?" Sun Qingcheng asked in a low voice.
After hearing this, Ji Ye shook his head and said.
"Although mortal yang qi is considered a great supplement for ghost cultivation, it is always against the way of heaven. Practicing penance in the underworld for a few days is no worse than sucking the yang energy of mortals, so let's not do these unnecessary things. Jiye said lightly.
Sun Qingcheng saw that Jiye was not interested in this, so he honestly stayed by Jiye's side and stopped making a sound.
And those few mortal tourists had already been targeted by a few ghosts, and they had just left for a short time before they were blocked in the road by those ghosts.
"It's finally time for you, do you know how hard it is for us to wait for you. One of the ghosts twitched.
"Who are you, and what are you waiting for us?" asked one of the mortal men, confused.
"A few of us came to play in the ghost town of Xudu, but the ones we saw during the day were either props or pretended to be by the staff, which was not exciting at all. So we didn't pay attention to others and secretly hid, and waited until it was dark to close the city before coming out, but at this time all the tourists and staff in the city were gone, and we still felt bored after playing around for a while and wanted to go out of the city, but the city gate was locked to death, and we couldn't open it at all, so we could only wait in the city. But after midnight there were suddenly a lot of people in the city, and we thought it was a night event, but when we went to talk to one of them, we found that the man was not a man at all! ”
"Hahahaha. The mortal man burst out laughing.
The ghost's speech was interrupted, and his eyes suddenly filled with resentment.
"It's funny that you wanted to get us out of town early in order to get off work early, and now you're pretending to be a ghost to tell us ghost stories. When we were three-year-olds, let me tell you, we bought tickets to come in, and we won't go out until we had enough fun!" said the mortal man in a loud menacing voice.
"Well, it's better not to go out, we didn't plan to let you out. As he spoke, the wraith had begun to draw closer and closer to a few mortals.
At this moment, another sharp-eyed mortal saw that these black shadows were not even shadows under the moonlight, and his heart suddenly beat faster.
"He... What about their shadows?" he muttered in a low voice.
Although the voice was low, it could be said to be thunderous in the ears of his companions. Several people were momentarily stunned, but they saw each other getting closer and closer. The man in the lead couldn't hold back his shouting any longer.
"Have you made enough trouble, we paid the money to play, and now we don't want to play, send us out!" It seems that he is still naïve to think that these staff members standing in front of him are here to scare them.
The hysterical shouts were still exchanged for the silence of the other party. A few of them wanted to run, but their weak legs had long since stopped listening.
At this moment, a blue light in the distance in the air hurried towards this direction. In just a few breaths, he came to a few mortals.
"You guys are really very brave, if I hadn't been notified that there were still mortals staying in the ghost city of Xudu at night and rushed to come immediately, I am afraid that you would have to be their substitutes. "The person who came is none other than the Xue Swordsman of the Fallen Leaf Sect.
After the first battle of the Fallen Leaf Sect that year, Swordsman Xue was sent to the vicinity of the ghost city of Xudu to take charge of the affairs of this place. During this time, he broke into a ghost town at night more than once to save mortals who stayed at night. There were dozens of ghosts killed by him, and for this reason, the high-level ghost cultivators in the ghost city also hated him to the core. How could it be that every time he left after saving someone, the high-level ghost cultivators were unwilling to come to patrol every night, so there was no winner or loser between the two.
"Let's go!" Several ghosts saw that there was a cultivator, and immediately turned around and wanted to leave. With the strength that they don't even have as ghosts, how dare they get an axe in front of cultivators.
I saw that Swordsman Xue took out his long sword and swept it forward, and a cyan sword qi instantly hit several ghosts who escaped, and after a few screams, the ghosts turned into green smoke and disappeared again.
"Come with me. After swordsman Xue killed a few ghosts in an instant, he immediately said to a few mortals behind him.
And those mortals also reacted at this time, and immediately followed Swordsman Xue towards an exit of the ghost city. Just as he was about to enter the exit, a person suddenly came from the side to ask.
"Swordsman Xue?"
Swordsman Xue was stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked around, but he couldn't find the source of the sound. When those mortals saw that Swordsman Xue had stopped, they also stopped.
"Who is pretending to be a ghost, come out of me quickly. Swordsman Xue shouted coldly.
After several conversations, Ji Ye had confirmed the identity of the other party, which was the Xue swordsman of the Fallen Leaf Sect that he knew.
"I'm Jiye!" Jiye hid in the shadows and replied to Swordsman Xue's question. He knew that if he rashly went out with his current identity, he was afraid that he would be directly killed by the other party.
"Jiye?" Xue Swordsman suddenly had the appearance of Jiye in his head after hearing this, but he knew that Jiye had died a few years ago, and later heard that he had gone to the underworld, but so much time had passed, maybe he had been reincarnated. And now at this time, a person suddenly appeared and said that he was a businessman, and I am afraid that there is fraud in this.
"If you're a naturalist, then come and talk to me. Swordsman Xue thought for a moment and said.
"Then I'm out, you put away your sword. I don't want to be one of those ghosts. Ji Ye hurriedly reminded Xue Swordsman that he was afraid that he would be attacked by Xue Swordsman like thunder as soon as he appeared, so he didn't dare to show up. But seeing that he was about to leave this place, if he didn't appear again, I was afraid that with the speed of Swordsman Xue, it would be even more difficult for him to catch up.
When Swordsman Xue heard the other party speak, although he didn't reply, the long sword in his hand had been infused with aura. If there is any accident, he will definitely kill the other party without hesitation, and at this moment, a figure sneakily walked out from behind a house.
"Hey, Swordsman Xue, long time no see. After approaching, Ji Ye beckoned to Xue Swordsman and said.
When Swordsman Xue saw the other party approaching, he looked at the other party carefully. After he saw it clearly, his heart suddenly surged. The person in front of him is not a profession, who else can he be.
"It's really you!" said Swordsman Xue in surprise.
"Of course. "Jiye is also very happy at this time, after all, it is not easy to meet old friends in this strange place.
"Why did you come here, haven't you been reincarnated?" Swordsman Xue asked curiously.
"No, how could I easily ferry back. By the way, this is not the place to talk, so let's get out of here first. Nationality proposed.
"Okay, let's go!" Regarding the proposal of the nationality industry, Xue Swordsman must have agreed with one hundred people. When Jiye appeared, he knew that Jiye belonged to ghost cultivation, and although he was very excited just now, he still maintained a vigilant attitude towards Jiye. After all, now this is the territory of the ghost of the underworld, and if the karma does something unfavorable to him at this time, it will still be very troublesome. Now that Jiye has offered to leave here, he will naturally not object.
"It's too late to get out of here. As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure stood on the roof.
Swordsman Xue saw that the person who had just let go of his heart lift again, it seemed that he was only delayed for a moment just now, and he was chased by the ghost cultivator of the underworld. But it's too late to say anything now, and there is no other choice but to fight with the other party.
And Ji Ye saw the appearance of high-level ghost cultivators, his legs instantly began to weaken, you must know that ghost cultivators and guardians have always been incompatible, although he himself is also a ghost cultivator, but just a conversation with Xue Swordsman, I am afraid that the other party has heard it, and now I am afraid that it is already on the other party's kill list.
"Do me a favor. At this time, Swordsman Xue suddenly thought that there were still a few mortals standing behind him, but the current situation could no longer allow him to escort him personally, so he could only temporarily entrust it to Jiye first.
"What?" said Ji Ye with a slight stunned moment.
"Help me get them away, I'll break off, go quickly. Swordsman Xue saw that the ghost cultivator began to make moves, and at this time, he couldn't care about anything else and directly greeted the other party.
After receiving the order, Jiye immediately beckoned a few people to go with him, in fact, he wanted to leave this place more than these people at this time.
Passing through the exit of the ghost town, a few people ran all the way to the prosperous area of Xudu, as a ghost, it was naturally effortless for this distance, but the poor mortals didn't know how many wrestles they fell along the way, but they didn't stop at all and still got up and ran.
I didn't stop until I ran to a place with a lot of people. After a moment, one of them suddenly spoke.
"What about the guy who sent us out just now?"
After hearing this, several other people also began to look around, but there was no trace of their origins.
