59 A hundred ghosts walk by night
Qian Li said this, Mo Chengjun really turned over some impressions in his mind, who said it to him, he can't remember clearly, but he still knows the general content.
Bishan, the evil ghost king was expelled after the defeat of the struggle, but this one is not a lord who is willing to lose, although he is on the run, he is temporarily dormant, seeking revenge.
He first picked a city that was not too big, and arranged it secretly, and after being silent for a long time, he launched it when the entire Yunzhou fell into a brief chaos after the battle between the Xinghe Sword Sect and the Mountain Monarch Demon Kingdom.
With the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in a city as a sacrifice, he sank the city into the dark earth and refined it into a ghost city that belonged to him.
It was also this matter that made too much trouble, so big that few human races could bear it, so there was a move by the Yunzhou Prefecture herd in the back to go to the Xinghe Sword Sect, and the Xinghe Sword Sect directly moved down the 'Demon Slaying Order', so that the entire Yunzhou Xianwu Sect moved.
"So, you mean that the master of the mandrill is the lord of this ghost city, the king of evil ghosts?" Mo Chengjun asked again:
Qian Youli smiled miserably: "That's right, pity my comrades, besieged the mandrill in a battle, and the three demon slaying divisions of Yong'an City shot out, and two of them were killed on the spot."
And I, if I wasn't proficient in wind and ran fast, I probably wouldn't have survived.
Moreover, even in the end, we didn't know that it was the Demon King who was secretly attacking, and we only thought that the mandrill was extremely powerful. ”
"But then how did you know?"
"To be exact, we don't know, but the news provided by Tim that week."
When the topic comes to this, it seems that everything is still explained, but there is still a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
"As far as I know, the slaughtered city is at the border between Yunzhou and Ningzhou, which is at least 10,000 miles away from here, how could that ghost city appear here?"
Qian Lili was slightly stunned when he heard this question, he looked at Mo Chengjun's eyes and seemed to be a little surprised, his expression looked weird, but he still didn't dare to show anything, just explained: "The ghost city is in the yin soil, and it has been refined by the ghost king, you can see him as a large magic weapon, and the two are one."
If the ghost king moves, the ghost city moves, and only with the particularity of the yin soil can the foreign enemy be blocked.
Otherwise, do you really think that the Demon King will survive until now? ”
"What do you say?"
"Although the Evil Ghost King is strong, the human race is not without a strong man, and it is not too much to slaughter the people of a city, even if he is killed ten times or eight times.
If he still dares to stay where he is, not to mention the rest, only a great sword cultivator from the Star River Sword Sect who is out of the body realm can calm him and the ghost city.
In fact, the reason why he is still alive and kicking is not because he is strong, but because he can't be stopped.
The ghost thing is already long in the void and hidden, and the yin soil is difficult to penetrate, plus he has a ghost city by his side, so he can still be at large.
This is also the reason why when we besieged the mandrill, he only made a secret move, and he was afraid of revealing his identity! ”
Well, Mo Chengjun found that he still missed the shortcomings of lack of knowledge, but there is a good saying, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
So, he nodded similarly, recognized Qian Li's statement, and praised him: "I didn't expect that you know how much Haha!" ”
Qian Li listened to this compliment, and looked at Mo Chengjun again, he didn't know what expression he should show, so he had to smile hard.
It's just that Mo Chengjun's next question, he can't laugh.
Mo Chengjun: "Okay, now is the last question, yesterday, when I came, why did you lie?"
Why do you want to play such a clumsy demon killing drama with a weak heart?
Why did it take more than an hour to come to see me?
Or, more accurately, what bad things were you doing at the time? ”
This time, Qian Li's expression was wonderful, and he muttered for a long time before he said: "At that time, at that time, we were transferring the population!" ”
At this point, he immediately cursed, "I swear, that was the second time I did it, and when I heard you coming, I was so frightened that I drove people back again." ”
Mo Chengjun listened, nodded, seemed to react at this time, and said: "It means that for the first time, you trafficked in human beings, and you were bumped into by Baling'er and almost exposed."
The second time, I was working hard, and I got the news of my arrival again? ”
Qian Li's expression was about to cry: "Yes, yes!" ”
"Didn't scare the pee, did you?"
"Actually, it's not bad, it's much worse!"
Mo Chengjun grinned and wanted to laugh: "Then you guys are really unlucky!" ”
Qian Li seems to have found a confidant: "That's it, who says it's not?" I think this is the most wrong thing I've ever done in my life! ”
"I feel the same way!"
At this point, everything that should be asked has been asked, and everything that should be understood has been understood, Mo Chengjun has gone through everything in his mind, although there are still some problems that have not been solved.
For example, what kind of path is the Lotus Sect?
Why do you want such a population?
How did they discover that there was a ghost town in the yin soil hundreds of miles outside the city?
But these don't affect his analysis anymore, and on the whole, he has achieved logical self-consistency in his mind, and this should be the case.
Of course, Mo Chengjun's main concern now is not what ghost town is, what Lotus Sect is, he only cares about how to get Baling'er out of the ghost town.
I have to say, this thing is not easy to do, it is a ghost town after all, and there is a ghost king in charge, with his current strength, it seems to be a little insufficient?
Ahem, well, I guess it's beyond my means!
Just when Mo Chengjun was thinking about it, the four-eared donkey demon suddenly spoke: "I seem to hear Devil May Cry again?" ”
Mo Chengjun was slightly stunned, and immediately said, "Where is it?" What is the situation? ”
"Wait a minute!"
The four ears rarely remained serious, his body was slightly straight, the four ears suddenly stood up, the magic light flickered, and the four ears kept shaking.
"I heard the sound of swords, and someone was flying the sword first.
I also heard the sound of Devil May Cry, and there were a lot of evil spirits, and they seemed to behave neatly, not like stragglers, but an army of ghost pawns!
They came toward the city of Yong'an. ”
"This is a hundred ghosts walking at night, a hundred ghosts walking at night!"
When Mo Chengjun heard this, his eyes stood up: "Where is it?" ”
"North of the city, north of the city!"
Mo Chengjun didn't say a word, jumped up, stepped in mid-air, and the clouds flashed, he seemed to be stepping on the stairs, and rushed to the door at the fastest speed.
Outside the door, standing in the void, Mo Chengjun opened his mouth and spit out, a sword light burst out, and the void circled back, and after wrapping Mo Chengjun, it suddenly turned into a brilliant rainbow light, and went towards the south at an astonishing speed.
In the inner hall, Qian Li looked at Mo Chengjun, who was flying with the sword, and finally began to admit that this thief monk who played tricks was really from the Galaxy Sword Sect.
However, before he came back to his senses, a donkey face had already approached him, and his eyes were facing each other, and Qian Li said embarrassedly: "This, well, this donkey gentleman, who are you?" ”
Si Er shook his head, took two steps back, and said: "My master is in a hurry and didn't explain, now, I will replace you and give you two choices."
First, you can run as much as you can, but how far you can escape, how long you can escape, and where you can flee to, it is not necessarily.
Second, my lord is willing to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, and now, outside the city, a hundred ghosts are traveling at night.
I think you also know that a hundred ghosts walk at night, and where they pass, not a single grass grows!
If you don't want everyone in this city to die, then it's best to organize all the forces you can now, and save one of them, well, that's it!
Of course, just because you have made meritorious contributions doesn't mean you can get away with it, but at least live a brighter life. ”
After finishing speaking, the four-eared donkey demon turned around and walked away in the sound of clattering hooves, along with the fog method that shrouded the demon slayer.
I don't know when, Qian Youli has gone to the bondage, he stood in the house, his face was cloudy, and it seemed that it was difficult to choose.
But in reality, he didn't have much time to think slowly, just for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and ran out of the inner hall.
As a result, the entire Demon Slayer Division heard a roar: "Come, come, ring the bell and inform the whole city that there are hundreds of ghosts walking at night, and every family goes into the cellar to hide, hurry up!! ”
In any case, as a demon slayer Si Baihu, he made a choice!
……
South of the city, far away in the dark sky.
Chu Xuexian had never squeezed his mana like today, almost every strand and wisp of it poured into the flying sword with all his might.
She has never been so eager for 'drag racing' as she is today, she only thinks that the sword speed that she was proud of in the past, why is it so slow today?
She felt that her thoughts seemed to become very fast, because the night around her had slowed down, but she also felt that her thoughts had become dull, bleeding, exhausted, and running out of mana, which had made her brain stiffen, and even lost the ability to think.
Now, the only thing that supports her is the obsession in her heart - to return to the city, return to Yong'an City, go to the Demon Division, and inform the sect of the news here with the help of the sound transmission formation there.
Behind her, the sound of suona sounded in the monstrous ghostly aura, and the poignant timbre was accompanied by the ghost crying wolf, which could really make people creepy and tremble.
As time goes on, they get closer and closer.
But Chu Xuexian didn't think about these anymore, she only recognized the city, and just tried her best.
Then, she really saw that in the distance, a city wall appeared in her field of vision, and in the dim night, the city wall seemed to be even darker, only on the city tower, a little fire lit up, faintly beating.
'It's here, it's here!' ’
Chu Xuexian was excited in her heart, and the breath she was fishing suddenly relaxed, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, and after rushing forward by inertia, she staggered downward.
'Not good, not good, it's over!' ’
At this time, Chu Xuexian had already reacted, she screamed in her heart, but her body was no longer under her command, the only thing she could do was to close her eyes and wait for the fate of falling.
At this moment, what she was thinking about was not the ugliness after the fall, but the news, she failed to deliver, and she lived up to the expectations of her peers.
But at this moment, she heard the sound of a sword, a sound she was familiar with, left by the flying sword cutting through the air.
Then, she felt a warm embrace.
Alone, he took her in his arms.
She tried to open her eyes and saw a man's face, although it was not very handsome, but at this moment, she was surrounded by a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.
"You, who are you?"
"Mo Chengjun, I've seen Senior Sister!"
