Chapter 17: The Prologue to the Great Chaos
Taking advantage of the night, Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi drove a carriage away from Zhongping Town, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, he naturally didn't want to have another Wang Chengfeng by his side as a light bulb, and for Lu Xueqi, it didn't matter where he went, just walked with Shen Chengping.
Because the Shushan faction is mainly based on sword cultivation, it pays more attention to the experience of its disciples than Qingcheng Mountain, so after her initial cultivation was successful, she got the task assigned by the master to go to the northwest to deal with a thousand-year-old wolf demon, but she didn't expect that the wolf demon also had a fox demon companion, Lu Xueqi suffered a loss without noticing it for a while, although the wolf demon and the fox demon were eliminated together, and he was also injured, so he had to go to the nearby Kunlun faction to recuperate first, and now the injury has recovered, just sensing that Shen Chengping came nearby, he left with Shen Chengping.
Unlike Lu Xueqi's Shushan faction, traveling abroad to temper her swordsmanship cultivation is also a practice, Baguio has not yet become a teacher, and Zhou Daochang does not allow him to go down the mountain, so she can only stay on Qingcheng Mountain.
Shen Chengping also has some curiosity about the sword cultivation method of the Shushan faction, but he didn't ask Lu Xueqi, when the general disciples go up the mountain to apprentice, they will also swear to keep the secret of the secret book when they are taught, unlike ordinary people who swear that it will basically not cause the response of heaven and earth, the oath of the person who cultivates the truth will not only cause the response of heaven and earth, but also leave a mark on his own primordial spirit, if it is violated, the consequences are extremely serious, before in Qingcheng Mountain, Shen Chengping never asked Baguio about the cultivation method of Qingcheng Mountain, It was Zhou Daochang who took the initiative to teach him the method of refining weapons.
At this time, the situation of Baguio and Lu Xueqi was confirmed, and Shen Chengping did not have too many goals, so he decided to travel around in this chatting world and see the situation in this world.
There was no direct sword, just a simple carriage trip, unconsciously the two of them have been traveling for more than ten days, this night, the sky was dark, when the sky was about to get dark, finally saw a dilapidated post station on the side of the road.
At this time, Shen Chengping had already noticed that as the influence of the dynasty weakened over the years, and it was impossible to suppress the peace of the world, the ghosts in this place gradually increased, and there was a lantern hanging in the post station, and the surrounding area was desolate, sitting there alone, at first glance, it was really a little gloomy.
At the end of the dynasty, the first to be affected were these post stations all over the world, just looking at the dilapidated appearance of this post station, I know that it has not been repaired for several years.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the post station, and Shen Chengping said in a loud voice: "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”
Soon a squeak was heard, and then a rickety figure came over with a lantern, an old man, wearing a sheepskin jacket, on which a thong was faintly embroidered. If nothing else, this should be the post man of the post station, and there are still a few breaths of the whole post station, except for this post man, they are all other people who are in a hurry.
Shen Chengping said to the post guard: "Uncle, can you allow us to stay here for a while." ”
The old postman took a look at the lantern, and saw that Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi beside him were dressed as scholars, nodded and said, "It turns out to be two ministers, let's come in." "Tear open the fence-like door and make way for a way.
Shen Chengping drove the carriage into the post station, parked the carriage, and the old post man led the two to a row of houses, pointed to two of them and said, "You can rest in these two empty houses." ”
Shen Chengping nodded slightly, and seemingly unintentionally pointed to a few houses not far away and said, "Uncle, those houses ......"
The old postman said: "Oh, so that a few people know, those houses have always been used to house the bodies of the deceased, and there are people who have returned to their hometowns at this time, so there are a few coffins there." The little minister doesn't have to worry about any bad guys. ”
Glancing at the houses, Shen Chengping said thoughtfully: "Thank you, uncle."
The old post man staggered away with a lantern, in the dead of night, the post station itself was in the wilderness, and the call of the night owl could be faintly heard. The whole station was silent, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear the sound of snoring not far away.
A few feet away from Shen Chengping's guest room, a yin wind blew, and with a squeak, the door that had been closed opened, revealing several brand-new coffins placed in it. The yin qi in the room gathered, gradually thickened, and suddenly, the coffin that had been closed together slowly moved and opened. A scarlet hand slowly poked out, on top of the coffin, the nails as black as ink were at least a few inches long, and a figure sat up from the coffin suddenly, and it was a female corpse in a red wedding dress but bleeding from all its knots.
The female corpse crawled out of the coffin, staggered out of the room where the coffin was parked, and appeared in the courtyard. The faint moonlight shone on the female corpse, pulling out a long shadow. The female corpse seemed to smell the breath of the living, and walked towards a guest room with her steps.
Shen Chengping, who was originally practicing in the room, suddenly opened his eyes when the yin qi in the morgue skyrocketed, and the essence in his eyes flickered, it can be said that the situation of the female corpse coming out of the coffin was completely under his surveillance, and he vaguely felt that the aura emanating from those rooms was a little wrong, and the yin qi was too strong, although the post guard said that it was the place where the corpse was parked, but Shen Chengping still remembered it. Sure enough, there was really a corpse in the middle of the month.
Shen Chengping watched the female corpse walk step by step towards the guest room next door, in which was a porter in a hurry, who was asleep at this time, and he didn't know what kind of crisis he was in. The ghostly thing that has just deceived the corpse is the most thirsty for human blood, and once it devours human blood, then this ghoul will become more and more ferocious, and I am afraid that after tonight, there will not be a living person in this station.
raised his hand and released a sword qi to kill the female corpse, followed by another ball of fire, completely devouring the female corpse, Shen Chengping didn't care about the person who was awakened, but thought about it.
In recent years, there have been more and more ghosts, fifteen years ago, scholars like Wang Sheng went on the road alone to the Laoshan faction hundreds of miles away without encountering the slightest abnormality, but now it is okay in a crowded place, but wherever it is a deserted place, there is no shortage of such ghosts, Shen Chengping and Lu Xueqi have seen similar things several times in the past ten days, which makes Shen Chengping know that the curtain of chatting has gradually opened, and a world where chaotic ghosts and ghosts can be seen everywhere has also opened, and he has to wait for the reinvention of the human dynasty. When the world is stable again, the situation will improve again.
