All of them, including the old Taoist priest, and the people who left their Phoenix clan, were all arrested. For so long, in the ice hanging coffin, their injuries must have almost healed. However, as soon as he came out, he was captured by that kind of black shadow, which is strange.

Whether it is the old Taoist, or the Lixi of the Phoenix clan, and her clansmen, which one has good strength. Being able to capture them all is enough to prove that those black shadows are not weak.

I just glanced at it, but I couldn't see what it was.

Subsequently.

We searched several times in Longyuan County, but we couldn't find the location of that black shadow. Presumably, after those black shadows captured them, they had already left Longyuan County.

At this time, it was still the middle of the night outside.

I couldn't find their whereabouts here, so I had to go out of the city and continue the search. The nearby villages have long been deserted, and before coming to Longyuan County, Er Fat and I also investigated, and the reason was the persecution of the demon dragon in Longyuan County, that is, King Qin. According to the merchant's speculation, the demon dragon must have gone to the underworld, and I don't know what happened to the underworld now.

I don't know if this has something to do with the dragon.

When we left the surrounding area of Longyuan County and went to other villages, we gradually found that the problem may be more serious than we thought.

Except for the surrounding areas of Longyuan County, the villages in other places are basically empty.

We finally found a villager in a village near Hexi County.

However, at that time, the villager was already dying, and I gave him life and rescued him, and learned from him that all the people in the village had been captured by that strange black shadow.

This is the same as what Xiao Xuanzi said.

I asked him if he had seen what the shadow looked like. The man just shook his head, and just as I was about to ask more, the villager suddenly, as if crazy, broke free from us and rushed towards a nearby well. He's so fast that we can't catch us off guard.

By the time I chased him and fished him out, he was already dead.

The second fat party just found something and chased it all the way, but when he came back after a while, he shook his head, as if he hadn't chased anything.

I asked him, and he said that he could only faintly see a dark shadow. By the time he chased him out of the village, he had already disappeared.

With the current realm of Erfat, the speed is definitely not slow.

However, even he couldn't catch up, how fast should those black shadows be?

Thinking about this problem, I thought of Xiao Xuanzi again, I squatted down and asked, "Xiao Xuanzi, you were chased by those black shadows just now, how did you get rid of them?" ”

I believe that Xiao Xuanzi has his own methods, otherwise, he must have been arrested a long time ago, just like the old Taoist priest and Lixi, and he would not have met us in Longyuan County.

"Grandpa, he gave me all the cinnabar. For the past two days, I have relied on those cinnabar and smeared them on my body to avoid those dark shadows. ”

Xiao Xuanzi said, taking out the little cinnabar powder that was left recently.

The grandfather in his mouth is naturally an old Taoist priest.

It seems that the old Taoist priest knows what those things are, and besides, cinnabar powder can deal with those black shadows.

Cinnabar suppresses evil, evil things have ghosts, there are zombies, so in this way, those black shadows are either sneaky or zombies. However, whether it is sneaky or a zombie, can it be faster than the second fat?

In this village, there were no other clues, so we left the village.

Nearby, is the county seat of Hexi, the closest county seat to the county seat of Longyuan. This place, there is it on the map, and it is definitely not a ghost town like Longyuan County. However, when we entered the county seat, the result was the same, the buildings in the county were all good, but no one could find them.

We even saw half-eaten rice at the dinner table in a restaurant, and it was all hairy.

The people of this county seem to have evaporated from the world all of a sudden.

There was no one in Hexi County, so we continued to search.

Walk all the way.

Er Fat suddenly thought of a question, he asked: "Boss, do you feel that something is wrong, we came out of the abyss of Longyuan County at night, and it is still night, is this night a little too long?" ”

His reminder was right, we came out of the abyss, and until now, there has been no change of day and night, it has always been night. The sky was gray and looked like a night sky, but there were no stars or moons. If we count according to time, even if we are relatively fast, but by now, at least there should be a day of day and night!

After thinking about it for a while, the only possible person or person who knew the truth was the nearby Taoist temple. Because of evil or something, they generally don't dare to approach the Taoist temple.

"Let's look for it and see if there are any Taoist temples nearby." I said.

Near the county seat of Hexi, there is no Taoist temple, but all the way to the north, there is a Zhanggu Mountain there. On Zhangguo Mountain, there is a Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is very large, named Dragon and Phoenix Temple.

This Taoist temple has its peculiarities, looking at it from a distance, you can see that in front of the gate of the Taoist temple, there are two majestic sculptures. On the left is a dragon, on the right is a phoenix, the dragon and phoenix are lifelike, and the design of the entire Taoist temple is integrated. It's as if the Taoist temple is surrounded by a giant dragon, within the wings of a phoenix.

The strange thing is that the phoenix seems to have only one leg.

Such a Taoist temple, even now, is definitely a ingenious design. However, I had never heard of such a strange Taoist temple before.

The four of us, go knock on the mountain gate.

After about a while, the mountain gate was opened, and an old Taoist priest stood at the door, looked at us, and then said, "A few inside, please!" ”

He made a gesture of please.

As soon as we entered, he immediately closed the door to the temple.

After entering the Taoist temple, I found that although the temple was large, it was crowded with people. In the front and back of the temple, there were people everywhere, setting up tents.

The old Taoist priest is clear.

It was the master of this dragon and phoenix view, I asked him, what happened here, why, even the entire county town of Hexi was empty?

"Daoist friends may not know, after the dark night falls, I don't know what the situation is elsewhere, but in Hexi County, the black evil is rampant, and when you see people, you will catch them, and you will eat them when you see them, which is even more terrifying than the legendary beasts!" Qingyuan said as he spoke, his brows furrowed. It seems that the people in the far away road are all here to take refuge.

I glanced at the sky and asked, "How long have you said it has been like this since the night fell?" ”

"It has been nearly 20 days since June 6." Qingyuan Lao Dao said. I didn't expect that it had been twenty days since we entered the abyss of the Demon Realm, and it didn't seem that long down there.

I've heard of the strange beasts he said.

At this time, when I thought about it, this place is called Zhanggu Mountain, and it seems to be the location of the strange beast in the legend. The old Taoist priest said that the dragon outside the door and the one-legged phoenix were to deter the legendary beasts. The one-legged phoenix is actually not a phoenix, but a sacred bird.

These are recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas from the Earth.

I haven't heard of the black evil, so I asked the old Qingyuan Dao, what is the black evil?

Qingyuan Lao Dao also shook his head, he said: "Those things, no one knows what they are, there are all kinds of classics in my Taoist Academy, and I have checked them all, but I have never found anything like them." ”

The black evil is just a name, and it is not known what it is.

In the entire Taoist temple, there are almost more than 2,000 people. In addition, the rest of the people in Hexi County are estimated to have been arrested by the black evil.

Qingyuan Lao Dao said that those black evil spirits are not close to the Taoist temple, so let us live in the Taoist temple first to avoid disasters.

Now, at the very least, we have to figure out what these evil cults are.

Otherwise, we will have no way to do it, let alone save the old Taoist priests and leave them.

The scale of the dragon and phoenix view is very large, we live here temporarily, although there are many people in the view, but the Taoist temple has its own reserves, according to Qingyuan Lao Dao, it is the temple in order to make emergency reserves, therefore, it will not be without food.

With the arrangement of Qingyuan Old Dao, we stayed in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Every day, Er Fat and I will go out to patrol and look for clues. However, it is basically in vain. Xiao Xuanzi and Weiyang both stayed in the view.

When I went back, Weiyang told me that as long as we left, Xiao Xuanzi would go to a place alone. That place is still a taboo place in the dragon and phoenix view.

Qingyuan Lao Dao specially explained that he must not go to a place.

It's understandable that children are curious, but, according to Weiyang, Xiao Xuanzi goes every day, as if he is addicted.
