Officially entering the middle stage of Qi training, Fang Ping's body also underwent obvious changes.

The total amount of spiritual power in his current Qi Sea was comparable to that of a late-stage monk. And the spiritual power of the cultivator in the middle stage of Qi cultivation has surpassed the total internal force of the top masters in the rivers and lakes, and the strength, speed, and reaction have also increased several times.

Most importantly, his eyesight and ears have increased. His keen senses, as well as his mysterious sixth sense, were able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities in battle. Of course, this premise is that the other party's realm is not as high as his.

However, according to what Innocent said, it seems that the world today is the era of the end of the Dharma, and there are very few cultivators. Ordinary thieves were naturally not enough to worry about, and if they encountered a monster like the spider spirit again, Fang Ping was sure that he would be able to kill him under the sword.

It's just that the Fire Dragon Sword is still too small, and it's too uncomfortable to use.

Fang Ping roughly fooled Ning Caichen, and then hurried with him. Although this kid is an ordinary man, his foot strength is really good, and he walks like a fly, which makes Fang Ping a little suspicious, whether this guy has practiced exercises such as the Divine Foot Sutra.

When he arrived at the next market town, Fang Ping wanted to find another carriage, but found that this market town was even worse than the previous one, and there was actually a plague. There was not one person left in the town, and the only ox cart was still used to haul the corpses.

Naturally, the two didn't go in to join in the fun. When Fang Ping reached the Qi refining stage, ordinary diseases could no longer hinder him. It's just that Ning Caichen is a mortal in the flesh after all, and if he is sick, he will die. In addition, this place is not far from Gyeonggi.

A few days later, they climbed over a mountain and finally reached the border of the capital before dark.

Beneath the wilderness is a mountain village, and at the entrance of the village there is an inn that is brightly lit.

"Young Master Fang, how can there be a store in this wilderness? There shouldn't be ghosts......" After experiencing the spider spirit, Ning Caichen's courage seems to be a lot smaller.

"Ghosts? It's best if there are ghosts. The corners of Fang Ping's mouth curled a little.

This strength has improved, but he hasn't encountered a few demons and monsters along the way, which makes his hands a little itchy.

Fang Ping pulled Ning Caichen and walked towards the inn, but before he entered the door, a familiar sound of bickering came in.

"Brother Zhu is really boring, if I have such a beautiful flower, why should I come to suffer this sin of being a servant?"

"Brother Liu wants to be free, but he is a layman, and he only thinks about gaining fame in the examination, so that he can be worthy of his mother and son......"

This under-beaten tone and honest words, shouldn't it be......

The moment Fang Ping and Ning Caichen stepped into the door of the inn, two eyes were also projected at the same time.

"Someone is coming again!"

Liu Yibo was still sitting there drinking, and Zhu Erdan had already gotten up to greet him.

There were only a few lanterns in the inn, and in the hazy night, Zhu Erdan got closer to see the comer, and couldn't help but be shocked:

"Yes, Brother Fang?"

Fang Ping nodded, he didn't expect to meet this pair of enemies here.

However, if you think about it carefully, Zhu Erdan is already famous, and it seems to be common to enter Beijing to take the exam. But what kind of excitement did the chattering Liu Yibo follow?

Ning Caichen said weakly: "Brother Fang, do you know them?" ”

Only then did Zhu Erdan notice Ning Caichen who was hiding on the side, and said enthusiastically: "Come in quickly!" ”

He invited the two to the table, and Ning Caichen looked at Liu Yibo, who was hanging his son, and couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart, why is this person so rude.

Liu Yibo was full of alcohol, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ning Caichen, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said "interesting" twice.

Fang Ping didn't know if this thing was really something or if he was pretending to be a ghost, but if he met it again at this moment, he would have to try it.

He picked up a trace of spiritual power in his palm and gently patted Liu Yibo's shoulder:

"Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

At the same time as greeting, spiritual power was injected into his body, as long as Liu Yibo had the slightest abnormality, it meant that he was also a monk!

Liu Yibo turned his head, looked at Fang Ping with a confused expression, and asked suspiciously, "You, who are you?" ”

Well? No response? Really a mortal?

Fang Ping frowned, and without waiting for him to explain, Zhu Erdan on the side said for him: "Brother Liu, I think you really drank too much." This Brother Fang, isn't he with us before...... The ...... who fell into the water"

"Huh? Oh, it's you! Liu Yibo seemed to think about it all of a sudden, and frowned, "You, why did you come here?" ”

To be sure that this thing was not a hidden monk, there was no need for Fang Ping to continue grinding with him. turned around and wanted to find a store to open a room, but was just about to open his mouth and was stopped by Zhu Erdan.

"Brother Fang, you also want to find a place to stay. It's a pity that the store just said that it was full......"

Recently, they are all students who have entered Beijing to take the exam, and this inn is the only one in the mountain village, so it is not surprising that it is full. It's just that this mountain village is still dozens of miles away from the county seat, and it will be dawn if you hurry up again.

Forget it, just make do and take a break, it's okay in this hall.

As soon as Fang Ping made up his mind, he saw an old man wearing a linen robe and hanging a white cloth walking out of the back hall.

"Hmm, another visitor? I'm sorry, guest officer, the shop is full, and I can't entertain ......"

"Out of the way, we'll just take a break in the lobby......"

Before Fang Ping finished speaking, he heard Liu Yibo howling: "Old man, you are not sincere!" Now there is clearly a place empty, how can it be said that it is full? ”

The old man showed an embarrassed look on his face, but he didn't refute it, which showed that Liu Yibo was not completely talking nonsense.

Zhu Erdan opened his mouth and asked, "Shopkeeper, if there is still vacant land, can it be convenient?" ”

"This, this is indeed another vacant lot, it's just ......"

Liu Yibo waved his hand and said: "Since there is a place, why don't you give us a place to live, are you afraid that we won't be able to pay for it?" ”

He pointed at Fang Ping and said, "See, this son is not idle." The cost of buying your shop is like a drizzle to him......"

Before he finished speaking, a steamed bun was stuffed in his mouth.

Fang Ping's head is full of black lines, this person really owes!

But since there is a place to live, it is naturally better than sleeping in the lobby.

He took out half a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the broken silver, looked at it again and again through the dim light, and finally returned it to Fang Ping.

"Don't hide it from you, this open space is the utility room at the back, and it has been empty before. But something bad happened in the family in the past two days, the old man's daughter-in-law who had just passed the door died in a daze, and her son went to the county seat to buy a coffin, and her body was temporarily parked in this house......"

It turned out to be a morgue, no wonder the old man didn't dare to speak.

Jurdan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. Zi Bu is silent, the corpse is not terrible, but it is auspicious to travel to Beijing to catch the exam. If you sleep in the same room with a corpse, isn't that contaminated with bad luck all over your body?

Ning Caichen didn't react much, on weekdays, he trekked alone through mountains and rivers, and it was common for him to sleep in barren mountains and old forests or by new tombs and ancient tombs.

And the other party is usually not interested in no ghosts, and it is best if there are ghosts. It's just that he doesn't want to expose his strength in front of these people, and it doesn't seem polite to sleep in the same room with someone's recently deceased daughter-in-law, right?

Only Liu Yibo clapped excitedly after hearing this: "It's good to have a place to sleep, what to pick!" ”

"Shopkeeper, take us there, we'll just rest for one night and leave."

We, who are going to go with you!

As soon as Zhu Erdan complained in his heart, he saw the old man look at Liu Yibo suspiciously, and said in a warning tone: "Four sons, don't blame the old man for not reminding you, my daughter-in-law here is not sick and dead......"

"Didn't you die of illness? What do you mean? Jurdan frowned.

The old man sighed and told the four of them about the matter briefly.

It turned out that his daughter-in-law was actually bitten to death by resistance when she was captured by mandrills. Folks believe that this kind of person who dies unexpectedly has the deepest resentment, and it is very easy to turn into a powerful ghost and do evil.

Therefore, the old man did not dare to let the living people approach the room.

Death, turned into a ghost? Interesting! Fang Ping suddenly became interested.

But Liu Yibo was even more excited than him: "Since this is the case, then we have to live more!" ”

"It is the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the scholars of my generation have Haoran righteousness, which can just help the store to suppress the evil."

"This ......"

Ning Caichen was still hesitating, but Fang Ping had already nodded in agreement.

The old man's statement caught his attention, and Fang Ping only felt that his daughter-in-law here was definitely not so simple, but he wanted to find out.

"Since everyone agrees, let's ask the old man to lead the way!" Liu Yibo said with a smile.

The old man said helplessly: "Since everyone is not taboo, then come with the old man......"

"Hey, you guys!"

Zhu Erdan didn't want to go to the morgue at all, but the three of them followed, he looked at the lobby, and then at the figures of the three people leaving, but still gritted his teeth and followed.
