Chapter 2: A Strange Woman
When Huang Jun saw Shu Yao for the first time, he felt that this was a strange woman. That strange feeling is really hard to express in words, I can't tell why it's strange, but it just feels strange, as if something incongruous appeared on her, but where is that incongruity? Huang Jun couldn't find it. This woman is not very old, about the appearance of her early twenties, not pretty, not pretty, not pretty, giving people an extremely hazy impression, the expression on her face gives people a sense of absent-mindedness, but at the same time she can feel that she is concentrating on thinking about something, and the focused expression of that kind of indifferent look can appear on the same person at the same time and in the same place, no one can help but feel strange, not to mention that this person is still a woman, on such a musty midnight train.
"Hello, my name is Shu Yao", the woman noticed that Huang Jun was looking at her, woke up from her contemplation, and did not show disgust, on the contrary, showed a friendly expression to Huang Jun.
"Hello, my name is Huang Jun, such a late night, on such a train, the young lady's courage is really big" Huang Jun sighed unconsciously, when he said this, he was not exaggerating at all. Naturally, taking a train is not an uncommon thing, and there are many people who take the train at midnight, but from the perspective of the guardian, the aura exuded by this train is very uncomfortable, and the aura is difficult to say, and ordinary people can't say it clearly, but Huang Jun just knows that this level of aura is not something that ordinary people can bear, and Huang Jun can even feel that most of the people who take this train are either eroded by this strange aura, and their bodies have become weak and anxious, or they are professionally trained people with strong blood and energy, of course, This so-called professional training does not mean that they also have the same skills as guardians, but only that compared to ordinary people, they have received more rigorous physical and martial arts training, but the woman in front of her is completely different from others, Huang Jun does not feel weak or anxious from her body at all, and at the same time, from the physical point of view, it does not look like she has received strict physical training, in short, this woman gives her a very mysterious and dangerous feeling.
"Oh, I'm going home this time, it's not that there's no way, I don't want to" Shu Yao didn't seem to hear the meaning of Huang Jun's words, and said disapprovingly.
"Where is Miss's house?" Huang Jun was suddenly full of infinite curiosity about the woman in front of him.
"Xuancheng," Shu Yao replied with interest.
"Xuancheng?" Huang Jun couldn't help but be stunned, Xuancheng was the destination of his trip. And his mission this time is also closely related to Xuancheng.
"Miss is from Xuancheng?" Huang Jun asked casually. In fact, I was extremely vigilant in my heart.
"Yes, I was born there since I was a child, but I came out to work after graduating from college, and I never went back, and I don't know what it has become now" Shu Yao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"What has Miss been doing lately?" Huang Jun asked as if chatting.
"I don't have any serious work, I open a shop, do some small business, and I can't make a few bucks" Shu Yao seemed to notice something, and replied casually.
Huang Jun took a deep breath, carefully calculated it in his heart, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, "Miss, the front is Wuzhou, you can get off in front, and then buy a return ticket, I think it's still too late, Miss will go back in half a year."
"Return? Why? Just by your word? Shu Yao couldn't help but get annoyed.
Huang Jun didn't know how to explain, in fact, he also recently heard that Xuancheng didn't seem to be peaceful, although in the eyes of secular people, it was the same as usual, and there was no difference, but as Huang Jun walked all the way and slowly approached Xuancheng, he knew that the situation in Xuancheng at this time was probably extremely bad, although he had not reached the destination, he was not sure what happened in Xuancheng, but judging from the aura of this train and the clouds in the distance, I am afraid that ordinary people are not suitable to rush over there. Looking at the cloud qi is a unique method of Xuan Ling Jue, it can judge the aura of alien spirits according to the cloud qi of a place, of course, can only draw a general conclusion, but Huang Jun is not a savior, and before the situation is clear, he can't say why, besides, who will believe him? Therefore, although he felt that something was wrong along the way, Huang Jun did not reveal a word to anyone, but since he saw Shu Yao for the first time, he didn't know why, he didn't want this woman to be an innocent victim like everyone else.
"Believe me, I won't harm you, of course, I also know, with my current few words, it's hard for you to believe me, in short, I'll do it all" Huang Jun smiled bitterly, as a guardian, his goal is to constantly eliminate the alien spirits from the dark, but many times, Huang Jun looks at human life very lightly, although the cultivation of the Xuanling Technique is still short, Huang Jun understands: everything in the world has a cause and effect, and it seems that there must be a reason for it, and interfering indiscriminately will only receive the opposite result, It's best to go with the flow. Therefore, for Huang Jun, it is extremely rare to be able to say so much to Shu Yao, and no matter how much it is, I'm afraid Huang Jun won't say anything.
"Oh, I'm not afraid, but thank you" To Huang Jun's surprise, Shu Yao did not taunt with disdain like others (in fact, Huang Jun had done similar things a few times before, but without exception, all he got was a distrustful look from the other party, which is one of the reasons why Huang Jun was reluctant to meddle in things), but nodded very seriously.
Huang Jun was slightly stunned, so he had to make a smile that was more ugly than crying, and then kept silent, and the two never said a word again.
When the train arrived at Xuancheng, it was already three o'clock in the morning, Xuancheng is said to be a very prosperous city in ancient times, but with the development of modern industry, this former small city has become more and more declining, and finally, it has become one of the many nameless small counties. Huang Jun believes that if it weren't for the people who were born here, few people would have heard of it at all, let alone know its history. But Huang Jun knew.
"Are you getting off here too?" Shu Yao didn't seem to think that Huang Jun was also in the same destination as himself.
"What, you're not welcome?" Huang Jun said jokingly.
"It's not that you don't welcome it, it's just that you persuaded me to go on a journey, but I got off here, I just think you can't help it" Shu Yao said lightly, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking.
This woman, it seems that her attitude is completely different from just now, Huang Jun is inexplicable, but suddenly thought of something again, handed a small piece of paper to Shu Yao, sighed, and said: "Be careful, there is my phone number on it, if you encounter something difficult to solve, just call me, maybe I can help", after saying that, Huang Jun said no more, turned to leave, leaving only the stunned Shu Yao.
Although it was already early in the morning, although it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, Huang Jun walked fast, and for a moment, Shu Yao couldn't see his figure. Huang Jun couldn't help but be unhappy, he faintly felt that Xuancheng's situation seriously exceeded his psychological expectations, if he didn't think of a way, I was afraid that even he would be helpless, after all, as a guardian, he might not be qualified. Despite this, Huang Jun still quickened his pace, but his mind began to analyze countermeasures.
The cause of the incident can be traced back to a month ago, when Huang Jun's college classmate Cao Yang called and hoped that Huang Jun would visit him. And Cao Yang was a native of Xuancheng, Huang Jun didn't care about it at that time, and he was usually busy with business, so he didn't take care of it, half a month later, Huang Jun suddenly received the news of Cao Yang's death from another classmate. At that time, Huang Junyin felt a little wrong, so he immediately called Cao Yang's parents to contact him, and the old man was naturally very sad. But when Huang Jun asked about the cause of Cao Yang's death, the old man was hesitant, as if he remembered something terrible, and tried every possible way to prevaricate. For professional reasons, Huang Jun felt that this matter was not simple. Huang Jun is a person who is more withdrawn due to family reasons, and he has no friends when he goes to school, only Cao Yang, a dead friend, the relationship between the two is as good as a person, although they don't often communicate after graduation, but the friendship is still there, thinking that the cause of death of his old classmate is unknown, Huang Jun said that he would go to Xuancheng anyway.
Things were as he expected, as Huang Jun slowly approached Xuancheng, he could clearly feel that something unusual must be happening in Xuancheng, and even, Huang Jun faintly felt the breath of a strange spirit in it, but unlike usual, this time Huang Jun only had a vague sense, but there was no clear direction. Although Huang Jun has only become a guardian for a short time, and due to the low cultivation level of the Xuan Ling Jue, he has not yet been able to know everything well, but perhaps due to the Xuan Ling Jue itself, Huang Jun in the past was always able to clearly grasp a clear direction when facing a strange spirit event, although the process may not be easy, but it is indeed rare to have a situation like the current situation where the basic direction is not clear. Thinking of this, Huang Jun accelerated his pace even more.
As a guardian, Huang Jun has initially possessed some light body kung fu, therefore, he did not follow the avenue, but in a straight line towards the direction of Xuancheng, the night was dark, Huang Jun's face was not good-looking, after a while, he came to Xuancheng, standing on Xuancheng Mountain and looking down at the entire Xuancheng, Huang Jun slightly ran the Xuanling Jue, you can clearly see that there is a strange air mass flowing above the entire Xuancheng, half silver and half gray, in the center of the air mass, a trace of invisible blood slowly extends to the periphery, It faintly makes people feel bored and irritable.
"It's ...... Zombie? Huang Jun suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but cry out.
