Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ghost Fire!
Back at the Li Mansion, Li Mu took the official seal, the groom took out the carriage, and after the two converged, they immediately followed the official road to Tai'a County.
Qingping County is about 200 miles from the county seat of Tai'a, and the road winds through several hills, where the forest is deep and the forest is full of primeval forests.
If the horse is fast, it can arrive in one day, and the carriage will be about two days.
The groom set up the carriage and traveled all the way, Li Mu lifted the curtain cloth of the car, and looked at the mountains and forests outside the official road, where the mountains and mountains were steep, the forests were dyed, and under the sun, it was as beautiful as a fairyland.
But after seeing too much, Li Mu got tired of it, so he put down the curtain and practiced cross-legged.
Running a leisurely tour, Li Mu absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, refined it into spiritual power and stored it in the dantian qi sea.
Although there are ice spirits, they are still very weak and should not be consumed too much.
I don't know the time of cultivation, and soon, it's night.
"My lord, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest." The groom lifted the curtain and said.
Li Mu looked out, it was dark, his vision was greatly limited, he could only see ten meters away, and in the distance, it was pitch black.
This is not modern, there are no street lights on the road, as soon as the sky is dark, you can only rely on the stars and the moon to see, tonight there are only stars, no bright moon, visibility is not high, can not hurry.
"It's fine." Li Mu stepped out of the carriage and looked around, between the two lofty mountains, under the starlight, you could see the vague black mountains, as well as the dark dense forest, the mountains and forests were continuous, like a black sea, making an eerie sound under the night wind.
The groom set up the wagon and went to a nearby tree to pick up dead branches and make a fire to dispel the darkness.
"My lord, I'll go find something to eat." The groom drew his long knife and entered the forest.
Li Mu fiddled with the matchstick, looked at the sparks that burst out, and faintly felt a hint of coolness.
This feeling made Li Mu suspicious, because, after condensing the ice spirit, his cold resistance was greatly enhanced, and he was able to be fearless of the cold, but now, he really felt the cold!
Not right!
He turned around and drew his long sword, behind him was a mountain forest, hidden in the darkness, the terrain was relatively steep, about forty-five degrees, very suitable for charging, but it was very quiet, there was no neighing of insects, fish, birds and beasts, no roars of tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards, and it was as silent as a pool of stagnant water.
Li Mu let out a long roar, and the power of the ice spirit spread with the sound, turning into invisible ripples, blowing the mountains and forests, and in an instant, Li Mu saw that in the pitch-black mountains and forests, green flames suddenly appeared, in an arc, and in the center, it was the carriage he was in.
The green flame is fleeting!
"My lord, it's a ghost fire!" The groom came out of the forest, and he did not catch the prey, because there was no living thing in the forest.
He suggested driving away immediately as the place was unknown!
Li Mu shook his head and said solemnly: "This is the only way from Qingping County to Tai'a City, this official is the county order, how can you sit idly by?" ”
He seriously suspected that there were already ghosts here and people had been killed, otherwise, how could there not even be a little rumor?
You must know that in feudal society, rumors of demons and monsters have always spread very fast!
"Running Haoran." Li Mu reminded the horseman, and then went up the mountain with his sword.
The groom smiled wryly and gritted his teeth to follow.
According to the ghost fire he saw before, Li Mu went all the way up, and soon came to the halfway up the mountain, where the altitude is more than 300 meters, the view is excellent, and you can see the official road under the mountain.
And this place is also the place where the ghost fire has appeared the most just now!
Li Mu's chest spun rapidly, exuding a warm breath that flowed all over his body, his eyes emitted a gentle and sharp light, and he looked around and found traces of the green ghost fire.
The groom followed closely, his aura was stronger than Li Mu's, and he could find the final location of the disappearance of the ghost fire at a glance.
He was a little uneasy because he thought of some legends.
When he was a boy as a child, he heard that there were bandits near Qingping County, and they were later cleared by officers and soldiers, killed, and buried on the spot.
This place is condescending, with a wide field of vision, and it is not easy to be spotted by the people below, and it is very likely that it is the 'outpost' where the bandits observe their prey!
If his guess was true, the end of the disappearance of the ghost fire was likely to be buried after they were killed by the officers and soldiers...... Graveyard!
"Your Excellency......" The groom did not dare to hide it, and quickly told him these things.
"Hehehehehe......"
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
"Hahahaha......"
As soon as the groom finished speaking, the surrounding trees suddenly overflowed with gray and gloomy mist, quickly closed, and surrounded the two of them, and at the same time there were all kinds of strange sounds coming out of the fog, flickering left and right, flickering heavy and light, disturbing people's ears and eyes, and confusing people's minds.
There are clusters of green ghost fires, faintly floating in the fog, flickering, the two of them dare not be careless, cautiously staring at the ghost fire, but unconsciously, their vision is distorted in the looming appearance of the ghost fire, and then there are all kinds of weird and beautiful sounds, soon, Li Mu and the horse groom are dizzy, what they see in their eyes, what they hear in their ears, they seem to be distorted and trembling!
Li Mu was busy reciting the "Song of Righteousness" silently, his chest was running wildly, and a warm breath flowed around his body, which was worthy of getting rid of this predicament.
Then, he used the Ice Heart Technique again, and his mind was highly concentrated, and he was no longer tempted by the sound of gloomy sounds.
He looked at the groom, this guy Haoran was stronger than him, but his cultivation was a little weak, and he would still be fighting.
Li Mu flicked his fingers, and Haoran Qi hit the blade of the sword: Listen!
In an instant, the sound of the pure and mighty sword exploded like spring thunder, helping the groom to get out of the predicament in an instant, and shaking the surrounding fog back three feet.
"Thank you, sir." The groom finally came to his senses, cold sweat overflowing from his forehead, and he gasped for air.
"Stay safe." Li Mu slashed with his sword, and the ice spirit spit out the aura, blended into the blade, and slashed out a clear frost-like sword qi, emitting cold light, like a long rainbow piercing the moon, tearing through the mist like a withering and decaying body, and slashing out five or six ghost fires!
But in an instant, the mist closed, and the few extinguished ghost fires burned again, and even burned more vigorously than before!
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"
"Hahahaha......"
The weird and gloomy voice sounded again, like a tease, and like a provocation, Li Mu was very unhappy, and immediately slashed out a sword again, this time, he poured half of the little Haoran Qi in his body.
Airplanes......
The sword qi broke through the air, and a few ghost fires took the initiative to get together very arrogantly, and as a result, they were ruthlessly annihilated!
The mist closed again, and where the ghost fires disappeared, a green light lit up, and it seemed that they wanted to burn again, but after working hard for a long time, in the end, they did not succeed, and they were completely annihilated!
In an instant, the gray mist suddenly boiled and twisted, and all kinds of sharp cries such as the sound of a spatula rubbing were extremely harsh!
"In a hurry?" Li Mu sneered, but kept reciting the "Song of Righteousness" in his heart to replenish Haoran Qi.
Then, he unleashed another sword and slashed out the three ghost fires!
Whew......
The yin wind was howling, the mist was like a raging wave, accompanied by green and faint ghost fires, completely submerging Li Mu and the groom!
