The traces of the car on the bluestone slab are still there, but from the inside of the straight road in the county, the whole street looks empty and has no popularity.

Not far away, many objects were thrown everywhere in a mess, but the people disappeared. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air. In stark contrast to the empty streets, the entire county town is full of demonic energy, and the boundless demonic energy flows out from every crevice, which is terrifying.

How many youkai are in the county in front of you? What's going on here? I don't know if I don't know at night, but the situation is definitely not optimistic!

"Who!" Yang Tongyou's ears moved, and he suddenly shouted to the left. In his right hand, he clasped a charm and threw it if something went wrong.

On the right is a grove of trees, and it is difficult to distinguish things from the shadows. There was silence all around.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for burning the woods." Daoist Yang threw the fire talisman on the ground not far away, and suddenly a ten-meter-long flame ignited violently, and the weeds on the ground scorched by the hot temperature evaporated instantly.

What was hidden in the woods finally couldn't bear it anymore, and more than thirty people trembled out. Ye looked over silently and judged that these thirty people should be a caravan. There were more than a dozen guards, and the rest were all merchants. The current caravan leader trembled with fear all over his body, and raised his hands with a smile: "Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, we are human beings. ”

"What happened in Qiongxian?" Yang Tongyou asked anxiously.

"We don't know." The leader smiled: "As soon as my subordinates and I came over, we found something strange in the county. Maybe it was a robbery by mountain bandits, so I didn't dare to go in, so I had to hide outside to see the situation! ”

The mouth of the silent night was slightly cocked. This guy is not honest, full of half-truths. The bandits can rob such a big county seat, and you are a vegetarian when you are a soldier in the county?

Seeing that he couldn't ask why, Daoist Yang also gave up, and turned to look at Ye Bu silently: "Night Shaoxia, are we going in or not?" ”

"Of course you have to go in. This is the only way to Tiantai Mountain, and there is nowhere to go around. Ye silently glanced at the caravan, and slowly crossed the archway step by step with Xueying, and entered this Qiongxian County, which was like a dead domain.

Yang Tongyou paused and walked in.

The thirty-man caravan not far away seemed to be discussing something, and it didn't take long for the three of them to follow closely inside.

With the entry of the group, the demonic aura permeating Qiongxian County became more intense, like the waves swarming against the reef, more like the precursor of a storm.

The three of them ignored the caravan following them, this was also the first time to come to Qiongxian, and he looked into the distance and saw a high mountain in the distance. The nine peaks stood like pillars, but now each peak was filled with an astonishing black gas. Ordinary people naturally couldn't see it, but before entering the town, he wiped his eyes with an eye-opening charm, and the evil aura was unobstructed.

"What is the boundary of that mountain?" He turned his head and asked Daoist Yang.

"That's Jiuding Mountain." Yang Tongyou glanced at it.

"Jiuding Mountain?" Ye Bu said in confusion.

"Well, that's good. Legend has it that during the time of Emperor Shun, there was a flood and a large flood flooded the hills and surrounded the high mountains. People were displaced and homeless, and tribes were forced to flee to high ground. After Kun failed to control the water, his son Yu was ordered to go to control the water. Yu led hundreds of workers, personally to the front line, the wind and rain, surveying the mountain water potential. It is said that during this period, he passed through the house three times without entering, and his wife Tu Shan could only look at him from a distance on a hill outside his station. In the end, Yu channeled nine rivers, repaired nine large lakes, and dug through nine mountain ranges, and after ten years, the flood finally subsided. And people were able to live on the ground. Then Yu received Zen in Shun, began to divide the world, cast Jiuding to town Kyushu.

In order to commemorate Dayu's water control, the descendants of Kyushu's contributions, the place where Dayu cast the tripod is called "Jiuding Mountain". The top of the mountain where the Tushan clan often stands is called "Wangjun Peak". Oh, Wangjunding is over there. Daoist Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to a mountain peak opposite.

Ye was silent and frowned, and the so-called Wangjun was also covered with black smoke. What's going on near Qiongxian?

"Are there any traces left by Dayu when he controlled the water and made a tripod on Jiuding Mountain?" He asked casually.

"The remains of the fart, I think the so-called Dayu refining here is made up casually by later generations. Poor Dao has lived on Jiuding Mountain for more than ten years, and he has never found any treasures, even monsters are rarely found. Yang Tong was indignant, and it was estimated that he had been plagued by ancient legends.

"Where there are few monsters, now there is a lot of demonic noise. Hmph, interesting. Ye was silent and looked at the sky. The sky in this area was gray, and the extremely low clouds were extremely uncomfortable to look at. Although it is not clear where the sun is, the unitary time should have already arrived.

(*. Unitary time: 17:00 to 19:00, the time when the chickens start to return home.) ）

The current Qiongxian County is very weird, with dead and silent streets and an empty county seat. Even if they walked for more than a quarter of an hour, they would not see any living thing. Not even a single chicken or duck fed in the yard by the residents themselves, or the local dogs that usually roam around. Not even the slightest sound can be heard.

The ubiquitous chirping of cicadas has also disappeared without a trace.

The more he walked away, the more frightened he became, and even Yang Tongyou was horrified. Qiongxian is the hometown of Daoist Yang, he has only been out for three years, why did he encounter such a strange situation as soon as he came back?

"It's getting late, so let's find a place to stay. We'll start early tomorrow morning! Ye Bu looked around.

"My Taoist temple is still more than ten miles away from here, and I definitely can't get there before dark." Yang Tongyu sighed heavily: "There is an inn over there, which is usually quite clean." Let's stay somewhere for the night! ”

There are many meanings of clean, but in terms of the teachings of hunting demons and hunters, clean represents safety, represents being a hindrance, and obscure arrangement of the magic circle.

Ye Bu felt that his heart was heavy, and he didn't feel this danger in the crisis-ridden village some time ago. After the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty was going downhill, after all, the foundation was still there. It's not about staying closed at night, but there is still basic public security and close ties between the county and the higher-level county, and there is such a big thing in Qiongxian, why haven't you heard any news along the way?

Daoist Yang cautiously pushed open the closed door of the inn and quietly probed the enchantment that had been laid three years ago. It's good and it's still there! It's just that there is no smell in the inn, and the ground and tables are clean, and it seems that they are still in use yesterday.
