Section 20 Ghost Mist and Black Storm
After a two-day trip, the group came to the post station, but were told that the town of Shahe in front of them was impassable, and they unfortunately encountered the black storm that appeared in the town from time to time. When the black storm rises, Shahe Town will be shrouded in a thick black fog that can't see the five fingers. At this time, it is impassable, but fortunately, the storm lasts only seven to eight days, so as not to delay the journey. Shahe Town was originally developed from a large market town, and it was very prosperous. But since the appearance of the Black Storm three years ago, it has become a ghost town overnight. There were originally nearly 10,000 residents and merchants in the city, but the day the black storm appeared, it disappeared perfectly, and the storm dispersed and not even a single corpse was found in the capital. Later, even the people who entered the city to search for it began to disappear for no reason, and no one ever explored the secrets of Shahe Town, becoming a famous ghost town. Because the Black Storm is terrifying, there are no people who dare to brave this storm to rush away.
As a result, something went wrong, and Lan Ling was gone. Worriedly, everyone gathered in the hall of the post station and held a sectarian meeting.
First of all, the disciples of Baicaomen were inquired, and the possibility of Lan Ling returning to Taikang Town was basically eliminated. But the senior sister disappeared without saying a word, which is unreasonable. There was a Baicao Sect disciple's face that suddenly turned pale, and then turned iron-blue, as if he remembered something. He muttered, "Senior Sister kept mentioning Black Storm before going to bed last night, her language was confused and her eyes were dull, it wouldn't be that she went to Shahe Town alone at night..."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone fell silent. The first person who couldn't bear it was Handa, he directly tore open the male duck and shouted: "Then let her die by herself, you can't leave the entire Fuhumen here for one person, anyway, we don't participate in this matter." ”
Ximen Feng showed an irritable look between his brows, he was extremely disappointed and disgusted by this person who held the important position of an elder, he turned back to Hua Baixue and said: "Sister Hua, I was already friends with Miss Lan Ling last night, ignoring my friend in danger, I can't do it, I will go to find Miss Lan in a while, you wait for Senior Brother to come over, if the Black Storm has passed, I haven't come back, so let's continue to hurry with Senior Brother and other disciples." After saying that, he clenched his fists and got up. At this time, Mu Yunxuan arrived. He has been dealing with the follow-up things in the sect, and then launched light skills to catch up with everyone, and when he encounters such a big incident, he is also at a loss for a while. Hua Baixue pondered for a while and said, "Since Brother Xuan is here, let him lead the team, and I will go with you." Lan Ling and I have known each other for many years and are like sisters, and I can't turn a blind eye to her danger. Mentong Li Wenwen stepped forward to ask for his life together, expressing his willingness to go together, the friendship of knowing each other overnight can make Ximen Feng willing to risk his life, how can they stay out of the same dormitory. There are many disciples in the door who are good friends with Li Wenwenmen, and they also express their desire to go with them. Mu Yunxuan stopped them and said: "After all, it is a dangerous place, more people are not necessarily helping, their strength is strong enough, just these few people, the others should be on standby." ”
At this time, a person also flashed out of the guard's mansion, nine feet tall and unusually burly. His surname is Luo Mingtai, who was originally a disciple of the Daben Lei Shou Lei family, who was successful in learning and devoting himself to the public service. claimed that he was moved by everyone's friendship and was willing to go with him, but the little official of Ximen clearly saw that he stood up under the guidance of Song Yong's eyes. But no matter what you say, one more person means more power, so he didn't break it, and when the time comes, what Luo Tai is thinking will be exposed sooner or later. The disciples of Baicaomen were anxious to find their senior sister, so they naturally said that they must go together.
As the team approached the edge of the fog, Hua Baixue noticed something unusual in the vegetation. She leaned over to observe for a moment, then pulled out a porcelain bottle from her fanny pack, which contained pills and asked everyone to take one. Li Wenwen leaned over and asked, "What did you find?"
"Corpse miasma, this mist is corpse miasma, what I give you is a medicine to resist corpse miasma, you must eat it, such a thick miasma, you basically can't see the sunlight after entering, it's too dangerous to enter rashly without precautions. Lan Ling has been missing for so long, I hope it's still too late!This black storm seems to have been summoned, we have to be prepared, there is no unknown danger in Sand River Town!"
After everyone got the news, they didn't dare to be careless, took the pill, soaked some cloths in glutinous rice water, wrung them out and covered their faces. Under the command of Hua Baixue, the city was besieged and slowly approached Shahe Town in a gossip formation.
The Black Storm formed a thick barrier, and the Ximen Minor Officials felt that this was very similar to Elder Shiyuan's Qi Gathering Array, and it seemed that it was used to prevent the corpse miasma from leaking out. It's just that this closed array is too much bigger, and it is inevitable that some fog will leak out. Ximenfeng said: "After a while, Senior Brother Mentong will work with me, and work together to open a gap, everyone hurry up and go in, and we will enter last." Then hand it over to Mentong a set of combined exercises. The two of them stood back and forth, Mentong put one hand on the shoulder of Ximen Peak, and the other hand pressed the Qu Ze acupoint of this arm, and began to exercise. Ximen Feng's hands were sealed, his fingers were like air swords, and when he pointed forward, a crack was broken at the edge of the storm. The door was constantly conveying internal breath, and the little official of the West Gate shouted "Go!" Everyone quickly rushed through the gap into Shahe Town. Mentong and Ximen Feng finally rushed inside, and the gap closed as soon as they entered it. A piece of the tattered hem of the Ximen petty official was torn off, and it turned into dust in an instant, and the scene was thrilling.
Who knows that when the number of people was counted, it was found that Luo Tai was gone. Ximen Feng clearly saw that he also came in, this matter was unusual, but everyone didn't have time to think about it, and it was serious to hurry up and find Lan Ling. Since Luo Tai came in safely, then his disappearance must be for his purpose, and there is no need to worry about his safety for the time being, he deliberately wants to hide in such a big fog, and it is not easy to find it. Ximen Feng can also feel that each of these people in the public gate is a very powerful master.
The crowd searched for a long time in the west of Shahe Town, but found nothing special. was about to change places, but Li Wenwen stood in one place for a long time, silent. Mentong stepped forward and asked, "Did you notice anything wrong?"
Li Wenwen pondered: "Do you feel that these air currents are wrong, normally speaking, in the Qi Gathering Array, the Qi should be circulating, but these miasma seems to be one-way." One sentence reminded everyone, everyone has such a feeling, just a slight abnormality, but it was captured by the thoughtful Li Wenwen, even if everyone felt it, they would not think about it, it seems that Li Wenwen's analytical ability is indeed not covered. Everyone followed this feeling and found a stone tablet at the place where the qi disappeared, which was inlaid with a piece of jade with a strange color, and there was a small hole in the middle, and the air flow continued to flow down this small hole to the ground. Li Wenwen always felt that he had seen the ancient inscription on the inscription somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he reminded everyone to take down this piece of jade first and put it away, which may or may not be useful.
Who knew that as soon as he took off the jade, he heard a low roar, and the sound seemed to come from all directions. Suddenly, a place of soil next to the stele broke, and the hand that had been withering and blue stretched out and grabbed Mentong's ankle, and Mentong's qi was emitted, shaking the hand open, and smashing it to the ground with a fist, and actually smashed a big pit, which contained a smashed corpse, judging from the clothes, it was the missing townspeople of Shahe Town.
With the crackling sound of breaking the ground, the nearby ground cracked, and one by one the living corpses slowly crawled out of the ground, the spectacle of the scene was unimaginable, everyone gathered near the stone platform at the stone tablet, forming a circle outside, Rao is forcibly calm his mind is still frightened.
With a roar of a living corpse, all the living corpses rushed up, and everyone was instantly surrounded by a sea of black corpses, and the crisis was about to erupt!
