Further down are some personnel appointment tasks, the chief of various things, the dispatch of escort bodyguards, and thugs sitting in shops, etc., which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and are not a good choice.

Without giving Chu Jing much time to think about it, Yue Jun took him to a counter and said to the principal in charge, "Give me the task I booked yesterday." ”

Perhaps it was Yue Jun's white hair and appearance that were impressive, but the principal didn't ask too much and directly took out a stack of information.

"Investigation of the Tianji City South Massacre Village Incident"

Is this to turn on the detective mode?

Chu Jing couldn't help but start to have a headache, he didn't know anything about this world at all, and many things couldn't be understood with common sense at all, how could he investigate an inexplicable incident?

Yue Jun didn't care about Chu Jing's distress, directly signed his name on a piece of paper, and handed the pen to Chu Jing.

Chu Jing hesitated for a moment, but looking at Yue Jun's determined expression and the merit points of up to five hundred, he still signed his name on the mission book.

"What happens if you don't finish it?"

"Deduct half of the merit points. ”

“......”

Two consecutive years of negative merit points will make Chu Jing lose his identity as a guest, and he doesn't care very much about his identity as a guest.

Now that he had taken over the task, Chu Jing began to carefully read the information provided by King An's Mansion, and Yue Jun still looked confident.

"Tianji City is in the east of Qiming City, it is the third largest city in addition to Qiming City and Tianxuan City, three hundred miles south of Tianji City, the population of a village has disappeared inexplicably, turning into a ghost domain, and those who enter the ghost domain at night will not survive. ”

The history of the village's existence is detailed, as well as the number of people, and even the tax records of each person.

There are ghosts in this world?!

And what does it mean that "whoever enters the ghost realm at night will not survive"?

"Is this really okay?"

Chu Jing gasped and pointed to this passage and asked Yue Jun.

Yue Jun seemed to have a detailed understanding of the task a long time ago, and said very casually: "It's okay, the people who went in before were ordinary people, and there were very few people in that kind of remote place even in the refining realm. ”

It makes sense, if it's too dangerous, it won't be a third-class guest who can take on the task.

You must know that there are also many third-class disciples of the Refining Body Realm who come up every month, and let the disciples die, I believe that An Wangfu will not be so stupid.

"Do you know what a ghost is?" Chu Jing asked again.

"Ghosts?" Yue Jun tilted his head and thought for a moment before he said, "It's a very weak thing, and it will break when you poke your true qi." ”

Very weak? Chu Jing imagined for a moment, the ghost should be a kind of energy body in this world, and it happened to be restrained by true qi.

"You are cultivating Wenqu Divine Skill, you are very restrained from evil things, this task can be completed very easily. ”

Yue Jun saw that Chu Jing was solemn, and added.

Hearing Yue Jun say this, Chu Jing was also relieved. Yue Jun's strength is terrifying, and he has been prepared for a long time, he has no plans for himself, this mission is probably really to go with him on a trip.

If he talks about the scheme, the only possibility is to let himself owe a favor again, and strengthen his so-called friendship.

As for the other party's knowledge of Wenqu Shengong, he didn't hide it when he cultivated by himself, and it wouldn't be strange to know.

Early in the morning of the second day, King An's Mansion prepared all the salutes needed for this trip, just waiting for the two to set off.

Of course, the task has a time limit, especially for this kind of investigation event, from receiving the task to replying, there is only one month, more than a month, even if the task is completed perfectly, it is considered a failure, and the corresponding merit points will be deducted.

Without further ado, Chu Jing and Yue Jun mounted their tall horses and galloped all the way towards Tianji City.

This was Chu Jing's first time riding a horse, but after all, he was already a little master of the Qi Sea Realm, his body was strong, he could completely ignore the bumps and the like, and it was even easier to maintain his balance, and soon, Chu Jing liked the feeling of galloping on a horse.

Along the way, Yue Jun was quite excited, it seemed that he rarely went out, and he was very curious about everything on the road.

Yue Jun beckoned gently, and a piece of canary frozen into an ice sculpture fell into his palm, and he pointed to the forest and said, "There are beautiful birds everywhere along the way!"

The road was lonely, and it was rare for Yue Jun to speak first, and Chu Jing responded: "Yes, the scenery here is indeed very beautiful, although it is late autumn, but the colorful colors of the leaves are much more brilliant than the red and green in spring." ”

This world may be due to the relationship between the legendary brute beasts, the population development is limited, although the warriors can cultivate more land, but they are all confined to the brute mountain range, guarding their own fields, and they have to be attacked by brute beasts in the spring all year round.

It can be said that human beings, except for the seventy-two cities, cannot be completely called the masters of the earth at all.

The scenery on both sides of the road is, in a sense, also considered the sorrow of human beings.

It was broad daylight now, and King An's Mansion was faster than Maxima, and Chu Jing regretted not seeing a single brute beast.

"Are you from Qiming City?"

Chu Jing suddenly thought of a question, cultivators all have their own backgrounds, thinking about the Wen family of the three major families in Kaiyang City behind Wen Qing, so what is Yue Jun's background?

"No, you still don't know. ”

Yue Jun smiled mysteriously at Chu Jing, and then went to freeze a very beautiful butterfly, and let it turn into powder and disappear with the wind.

"Really?" Chu Jing said with a wry smile.

"Uh-huh. ”

......

Tianji City was closer than expected, and after only one day of running, Kuaima saw a majestic city not much shorter than Qiming City in the distance, standing on the horizon.

"Go there for a night's rest. ”

Yue Jun pointed to an inn on the side of the road and said.

The inn is next to the official road, and the scarlet flag reads "There is an Inn".

Chu Jing's brows furrowed unnaturally, the name of this inn was deliberate. Of course, if it was just the name of the inn, Chu Jing would just laugh a little, but ......

In the wilderness, building an inn in a dangerous place, how strong is the owner of the inn, and Chu Jing didn't see any pedestrians along the way, what does the inn rely on to make a living.

In this world, city-to-city transactions are mainly completed by caravans, and a large group is generally formed every six months or a year to hire some strong people to travel to and from various cities.

Caravans will prepare tents and other supplies, and generally do not stay in places like inns.

Chu Jing asked reluctantly, "Do you really want to stay in this inn?"

Looking at the sky, the sun was still an hour away from setting, and Tianji City only saw a shadow, and the city gate must have been closed when he arrived.

"Of course, do you like to sleep outside?" Yue Jun teased.

Chu Jing said with a serious face: "There is a problem with this inn. ”

Yue Jun said confidently: "I know, but we are Qi Sea Realm powerhouses, so there is no need to be afraid at all." ”

"Uh...... That's right, too. ”

After all, Chu Jing didn't have much experience, and he didn't have a clear understanding of his own strength, and the Qi Sea Realm was already an existence that could act alone in the wilderness, instead of daring to leave his city in a group like a caravan.

"It's just...... Never mind. ”

In the end, Chu Jing agreed to live in the inn. He knew that he was afraid of the ghosts that could be broken just by poking in this world, as for the black shop...... Hehe, the resistance of the Qi Sea Realm to poisons is very high.

The inn was open and seemed to be open.

Yue Jun stepped in first, and Chu Jing followed.

"Five horses, six, six, six, six, ......"

"You're losing, drink!"

"Little lady, come and have a drink. ”

"Don't want the guest officer~"

"Little Er, serve sauerkraut. ”

......

The scene in the inn made Chu Jing's jaw fall to the ground.

I still didn't pay attention to it outside the door, but it suddenly became extremely lively inside, with everything for eating, punching, and teasing the little maids.

A young woman on the counter at the door asked in a sweet voice, "Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Yue Jun took out two amethyst coins and said, "Stay in the hotel, come to two upper rooms." ”

The shopkeeper didn't look at the amethyst coin, but looked Yue Jun and Chu Jing up and down, and said with a smile, "Okay, do you want to eat it, the sauce beef and cold pork head meat in this store are all signature dishes." ”

"Don't eat, take us to the room, it's adjacent. ”

The shopkeeper took out two keys and shouted to a maid who was held in his arms by the guests: "Dead Xiaocui, stop playing, two guests, you take them to room No. 1 and No. 2 of Tianzi." ”

"Come on. Xiao Cui hurriedly trotted over, with a smile on her face, and said softly: "Two guest officers, please upstairs." ”

Chu Jing, who saw everything in his eyes, was a little breathless, and when he went upstairs, he gently pulled Yue Jun's sleeve from behind, and whispered: "This is not a black shop, it's a ghost shop." ”

"You just know. Yue Jun remained silent, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Chu Jing said coldly: "Then you are still going to stay?"

Yue Jun laughed and said in a low voice: "Hehe, a ghost shop is also a shop, as long as the ghosts don't come to disturb, it's better than sleeping in the wild." ”

Chu Jing knew that Yue Jun had already planned, "How to do it?"

Before Yue Jun could speak, the two of them had already come to the room on the second floor.

"Two guest officers, this is the key, please rest, if you need anything, you can call me at any time, my name is Xiaocui." After speaking, she threw a wink at Yue Jun, and then stared at Chu Jing with a smile before turning around and walking downstairs.

Chu Jing did not enter his own room, but followed Yue Jun into the same room, and there was nothing abnormal about the pendulum inside.

"Now let's talk. As soon as the door was closed, Chu Jing asked.

Yue Jun sat on the bed casually and said helplessly: "Relax, ghosts are not as terrible as you think." ”

"You seem to know a lot about ghosts, huh?"

Chu Jing felt more and more that he couldn't see through Yue Jun, he was obviously very simple before, but he was very scheming about some things, such as the task he received, and now.

"Well, I've been exposed to them, but I don't know about them. You only need to know that the Wenqu Divine Skills you have cultivated, the righteousness is mighty, and all evils are easy to dispel. ”

"Really?" Chu Jing was a little unconvinced, and when he just passed, the shopkeeper and the maid didn't react at all.

"Of course it's true, if something wants to get close to you, you only need to leak a little bit of true qi and nothing will happen. Remember, you can only leak a little, and if you do too much, you might destroy this ghost realm, and we won't have a bed to sleep tonight. ”

There was a word in Yue Jun's words that caused Chu Jing's sensitivity.

Hurriedly asked, "Ghost Domain?" you said this is the Ghost Domain?"

Yue Jun seemed to have lost his patience, pillowed his arms behind his head, lay on the bed, and then said: "It's a ghost domain, and if there are more people who die anywhere, a ghost domain will be formed, and there may have been an inn here a long time ago, but then it was destroyed, and it turned into a ghost domain." Now that you're done asking, remember to close the door when you go out. ”

Chu Jing wanted to ask again, but he only felt a cold soles under his feet, and there was a wind around him, and he didn't know when he had arrived in the corridor outside the guest room, of course, Yue Jun's door had already been brought over by himself.

Even if Chu Jing also broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, he still had no power to resist in the face of Yue Jun.

Chu Jing could only walk into his room stupidly. The pendulum style of the room is exactly the same as Yue Jun's.

The wine and food in the inn are absolutely inedible, Yue Jun didn't call it, Chu Jing ate some dry food that he carried with him, but fortunately, it was only a day, and the taste had not changed.

Tonight, Chu Jing decided not to sleep, but to cultivate. In this case, even if he wants to sleep, he will not be so nervous that he really falls asleep.

Finally, when the moon rises tomorrow, what should have happened has happened.

Chu Jingpan sat on the bed, running the Wenqu Divine Skill, the true qi slowly generated from the heart, the thirty-six acupoints of the body, and then gathered in the sea of qi, expanding the dantian of the sea of qi little by little.

True Qi is not only generated in the body, but also has a subtle connection with heaven and earth, so after each practice, the spirit is extremely sharp.

This time was no exception, a gloomy aura seeped out from the entire inn, faintly restrained by the heroic righteousness attached to the Wenqu Divine Skill.

This is...... Ghostly?

Chu Jing guessed, not daring to relax his vigilance in the slightest, his true qi was surging in the sea of qi, ready to explode at any time.

At some point, the moon hid into the clouds, and the originally dim night became darker.

"Woohoo ......"

The Haoran righteousness on Chu Jing's body suddenly made a loud sound, like the sound of red-hot iron being immersed in cold water.

"Oh no! it's a poisonous fog!"

Chu Jing's face turned pale, if it weren't for the fact that his own personality had been fused with his physical personality, I am afraid he would have fainted with fright.

A thick, black-gray mist had filled the room at some point.

Wenqu Shengong is not boasting about the Ten Thousand Evils and Evil Sects, and the poisonous ghost mist can't get close to Chu Jing at all, but even so, the danger still exists—Haoran Righteous Qi is also consuming the true qi in Chu Jing's sea of qi.

What about Yue Jun? What is he doing? No, he can really sleep in peace in this environment, right?

However, Chu Jing didn't dare to make a move at will, of course, not because he was afraid of destroying the inn, but because the entire inn itself was a ghost realm, and in the case of a completely unclear situation, every place could be a trap.

"Yue Jun, can you hear me?"

Chu Jing shouted.

"Oh, that's a nuisance. ”

Yue Jun's voice of complaint came from the next room, and faster than his voice was a colder chill.

With a "boom", the walls of the guest room froze and shattered, and the pieces fell to the ground and turned into wriggling red pieces of flesh.

Yue Jun stood in the center of the room with his arms crossed, and the furnishings in the room had long since disappeared, the floor and walls seemed to have a circle of flesh and skin, and the air was full of whimpering and whispering.

"What's going on...... this?"

Chu Jing looked at Yue Jun's room, which was even more terrifying, and the corners of his mouth twitched in shock.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a shapeshifter. ”

As he spoke, Yue Jun waved his hand lightly, and the poisonous ghost mist around Chu Jing was expelled by the cold air.

"It seems that this place is not suitable for rest. ”

Yue Jun sighed, the momentum on his body changed suddenly, and pieces of ice flowers appeared out of thin air, and the ice flowers began to rotate, and they turned faster and faster.

The shapeshifter also seemed to sense the danger, and on the originally empty flesh and blood wall, there was now a big mouth full of huge fangs, and the mouth was open, and a black ghost fire with a ghostly aura shrouded Yue Jun's body.

A large hole was also opened at the door of the room, and more than a dozen green-faced and fanged demons rushed in, and through the tattered clothes on their bodies, it was vaguely clear that it was the young woman shopkeeper, Xiao Cui, and those guests who were eating and drinking.

Chu Jing was on guard with a long sword in his hand, and in this case, the sword gave him a sense of security more than a gun.

Yue Jun was also ready, the sound of the wind brought by the rotation of the ice flower was like the roar of a fierce beast, and before the ghost fire could get close, it froze into a flame ice sculpture, and then was torn apart by the whirlwind.

"Ice Storm!"

The white storm, emitting a white aura of frost, angrily tore through everything it could come across, including the walls of flesh, the fanged mouths, and the dozen or so green-faced fanged demons.

The cold wind and frost seem to be everything in this world, and of course their master, Yue Jun, the king of the ice world.

Another exception is Chu Jing, the ice storm deliberately avoided him, leaving a safe area for people, but Chu Jing was still shivering from the frost, and the true qi of Wenqu Divine Skill on his body disappeared from time to time, and Haoran righteous qi stubbornly resisted the invasion of cold and evil.

After a stick of incense, the ice storm stopped abruptly, and the cold air dissipated in an instant, leaving only blood-colored ice slag all over the ground.

"Is it finally over?"

Chu Jing sat paralyzed on the ground, his body trembling slightly, not because of the cold, but because he was tired. Although he didn't face the ice storm head-on, the aftermath alone almost cost Chu Jing his life.

Yue Jun's face was also pale, obviously the move just now was also very expensive to him.

He glanced at Chu Jing, rolled his eyes, and said, "You are really weak, if you don't become stronger soon, you are not qualified to be my friend." ”

It's that you're too perverted, okay. Chu Jing scolded a sentence.

But now is not the time to discuss that, Chu Jing asked, "What are the shapeshifting ghosts you mentioned just now, and how can these ghosts be broken with a poke as you say?"

Yue Jun was not ashamed of what he said irresponsibly before, and said directly: "The ghosts who have no basis can be broken as soon as they poke it, and the ghosts here have a basis." The shapeshifter is a ghost who is not a human being, and the one who uses the inn as a dependent is the shapeshifter. ”

Relying on the physical body, there is a ghost here that merges with the inn and becomes the entire inn itself.
