"Without further ado, the old man now announces: 'Ghost Hunting Trial' has officially begun, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, our four major sects are each responsible for one direction.

The disciples of Xunyang Academy Palace are in charge of the southern area of Xunyang City, Qingyuan Sect is in charge of the north, the Imperial Beast Gate is in charge of the west, and Tengyun Pavilion is in charge of the east, is it meaningful for you?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone was silent, Elder Shi nodded, as if remembering something again, and added:

"Remind you, two days ago, there was a traitor who colluded with ghosts in my school palace, this person's name is Feng Qingyang, we are looking for him, if you encounter it during the trial, you can kill it directly, and you can get a rich reward. ”

"Collusion with ghosts?"

"An extra bonus?"

"Looks like there's something else to gain......"

The disciples talked a lot, and they were quite curious about this person who had colluded with ghosts, but they were more still hostile and disdainful.

"This is a portrait of the wind and the clear air, he has been parasitic by ghosts, don't be fooled when you see it. ”

A huge portrait unfolded behind Elder Shi.

It depicts a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face, and the portrait also shows his cultivation.

Jindan (fourth order) late period.

Fortunately, behind Xiuwei, there are two words written: Serious injury!

After everything was explained, Elder Shi took a step forward, then shook his robe, and led the elders and disciples behind him to bow down:

"You are ordered to protect my human race, Xunyang School Palace is grateful, today's hospitality is not good, I hope you don't want to be surprised, when you return safely, a banquet will be set up!"

"Good!"

The three major sects have returned the salute, and the momentum is magnificent!

"Let's go!"

"I wish you all a safe return!"

With Elder Shi's order, the major forces stood up at the same time.

Ning Chu and Han Feiyun glanced at each other, and led everyone out of the school palace and walked towards the west.

Since it was said that it was a trial, naturally there would be no elders to follow.

This also indirectly shows that the strength of the ghosts in the city should be about the same as them, otherwise it is impossible to be so relieved, after all, the core disciples of various sects who came this time cannot withstand the loss.

The range close to the school palace is good, but as it gradually deepens, everyone's expressions become more and more solemn.

The area of Xunyang City is huge, otherwise it would not have found support from the three major sects, and although there are scattered cultivators in the city, more of them are ordinary people.

When they faced the ghosts, they naturally had no power to fight back.

Behind him, the palace of Xunyang School Palace has disappeared, the surrounding streets are desolate and uninhabited, and occasionally one or two figures are also in a hurry, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and people are panicked.

"Senior Brother Ning, although this is to kill ghosts, but it is also a trial, it is difficult for us to get together like this and have a big harvest, I suggest, we are divided into two ways, do you think it is good?"

Han Feiyun came to Ning Chu's side and said, his attitude was quite sincere.

Ning Chu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Senior Brother Han, be careful, I suggest that you don't stay too far away, each group arranges a person to be responsible for contact, and you have to contact every other stick of incense, how about it?"

"Very good, my junior brother thinks more thoughtfully than I do. ”

"Senior brother, you have won the award, you should be careful. ”

"So are you!"

After the two finished communicating, Han Feiyun waved and led a group of disciples to walk in the other direction.

Ning Chu looked back at the little fat man Lu Qing behind him.

"Senior Brother Lu, how about you come to be in charge of contacting the group?"

"Senior Brother Ning, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"Okay, let's go deeper. ”

Ning Chu walked in front with two disciples, the little fat man Lu Qing and Xia He were in the middle of the team, and three disciples were put behind them, paying attention to the movements behind.

Disciples were also arranged on the left and right to observe.

Ning Chu held the simple map of Xunyang City in his hand, and after thinking for a long time, he pointed with his finger. "Let's look for it in this area. ”

After the words fell, the group continued to walk deeper into the street.

And at this moment, suddenly a black shadow flashed from the grass on the side of the street, Ning Chu's hand was quick, and he raised his hand to sacrifice a spiritual power, turning into a small ancient seal and shooting away.

At this time, other people also reacted and released their war pets one after another.

Hiss......

Ning Chu's Quartet Seal exploded, followed by a piercing scream.

I saw a black tanuki jumping out of the grass, looking at him with blood-red eyes and a roar from his mouth.

Everyone noticed that the tanuki's mouth was still stained with blood, and its teeth were hideous and sharp, as if it had undergone some kind of mutation, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling.

"Ghost Thing, kill it. ”

Ning Chu shouted, and two more square seals shot out, sealing the tanuki's retreat.

At the same time, a white shadow burst out of a disciple's arms and quickly pounced on the tanuki.

It was a white ferret, slightly larger than a tanuki, very agile, known for its speed, and instantly bit the tanuki's neck.

Hiss......

The tanuki was fur and struggled wildly.

However, the ferret did not let go, and with the blessing of the power of the disciple's contract, a terrifying tearing force broke out in an instant, biting off the tanuki's neck and turning it into two bloody pieces.

The tanuki screamed, and a black shadow flew out of its body.

"Hell, don't let him run. ”

While the disciple was shouting, another disciple intervened.

A long sword stabbed out coldly, and the sword qi tore through the air under the wrapping of spiritual power, and instantly slashed at the black shadow.

There was another piercing scream, and the black shadow shattered, leaving only a wisp of black qi absorbed by the bronze mirror on the disciple's waist, and then a small black dot appeared on the mirror.

"It's finished?"

The disciple took out the mirror and motioned for everyone to show it.

The ghost was eventually killed by him with a single blow, so he gained a wisp of ghost energy, which would be the only proof of competition for rewards after the trial.

"I see. ”

Everyone suddenly had the experience of opening the door.

However, the disciple held the mirror, but there was an embarrassed look on his face.

"This ghost thing was discovered by Senior Brother Ning, and was seriously injured by Senior Brother Ding Zhu, and was finally picked up by me, this ghost should be distributed to you. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

The disciple named Ding Zhu smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Ning Chu also patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Everyone is in the same group, there is no need to be so clear, those ghosts are cunning and difficult, it is difficult to kill one person, you don't need to feel guilty about this, as long as everyone can go all out, everyone has a chance." ”

"That's what Senior Brother Ning said. ”

"Yes, let's go all out, as for who the 'flower' falls on, it's all up to luck. ”

"Not bad!"

Ning Chu's three or two sentences untied everyone's knots.

Anyway, there are so many ghosts in the city, no one cares about that.

"Okay, everyone, cheer up and go deeper. ”

still maintained the formation just now, and as he continued to go deeper, he found several more monsters, all of which were parasitic on the bodies of animals, and their strength was not strong, which was equivalent to the realm of the middle stage of the foundation building (second order).

This kind of strength is not a cause for them to worry about.

The sky gradually darkened, and as everyone continued to go deeper, everyone had a harvest.

On the other side, the situation of Han Feiyun's group is similar, the distance between the two groups is about ten miles, and the contact is made every other stick of incense, which is quite smooth!

At dusk, the crowd came to the end of the street, where a large mansion appeared.

Unlike other places, the mansion has a large red lantern on each side of the gate, which is particularly eye-catching.

Ning Chu frowned slightly.

Now that ghosts are raging, it stands to reason that the people at this time should turn off the lights and close the windows and doors, why is this mansion so public, are they not afraid of ghosts?

"Senior brother, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Ding Zhu opened his mouth, and he also noticed that something was wrong.

"Okay, everyone's tired, just go in and take a break and see what they're doing. ”

When the words fell, Ning Chu walked first, slowly pushed open the cold wooden door, and immediately heard a noisy sound faintly coming from the depths, which seemed to be very lively.

At this time, an old man who looked like a butler carried a lantern and found them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you also here for the feast?"

"What feast?"

Ning Chu asked.

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, lifted the lantern and shone it on them, and then asked in surprise: "Today is Master Li's birthday, and I invite friends from the neighborhood, don't you know?"

"Oh, I'm kidding you, of course we're celebrating our birthday, will we start now?"

Ning Chu snorted and simply confused.

"It's just started, let's go in, the master specially hired the chef of Lihualou to make his favorite whole fish banquet today, you came at the right time, please inside." ”

The housekeeper was dizzy, and he didn't notice the difference between them, and he smiled and led the way in front with a lantern, very enthusiastic.

Ning Chu glanced back at the other disciples, motioned for everyone to put away their weapons and battle pets, and then followed in.

In the compound, the lights are bright, and a high platform has even been built.

The stage was babbling and singing dramas, there were more than a dozen round tables under the stage, and at the front sat an old man in a brocade robe, talking and laughing with the people around him.

It should be the old man Li in the housekeeper's mouth, today's old birthday star.

Behind Mr. Li was full of guests, including rich gentry and rich people in gorgeous clothes, as well as farmers with sleeves and trouser legs, men, women and children sitting together, very lively.

Everyone watched the play attentively, and several subordinates shuttled through the crowd to place wine and food.

The appearance of Ning Chu and others did not attract everyone's attention.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Ning Chu smiled, and after glancing at Ding Zhu and Lu Qing beside him, he took the others to sit at the empty table at the back, just watching the show and resting.
