Chapter 40: A Chinese Girl's Tragedy

"Throwing stones and asking for directions?"

"Not bad! Throw stones and ask for directions! ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, catch a few evil spirits first! Those evil spirits must absorb their souls after attacking people, and if someone really uses these souls for some kind of cultivation, then these souls must always be gathered in one place, right? Let's follow those evil spirits to find out the black hand behind it, it's as simple as that! ”

"Hmph, that's a good idea, but are you sure you can deal with the other party? A monk who can perform a spell of this level must be very good. ”

Ling Ning smiled and looked confident, he still had the palace master's secret weapon useless. Although he really wanted to ask the palace master for advice, but after knowing her for so long, he still knew her temper somewhat, if she wanted to give advice, she would have spoken a long time ago, since she didn't say anything, it would not respond no matter how she called it.

He might as well try it in his own way first, anyway, the yin and cold qi here is a natural nourishment for him, and he doesn't know how energetic he is after absorbing it.

The two of them immediately began to act, they began to march in one direction, and encountered a lot of evil spirits attacking them along the way, Ling Ning's stone sword in his hand "swish" a few swords to scatter the evil spirits, he originally wanted to catch one or two, but unfortunately these evil spirits are not entities, but a state of nothingness, although they can be eliminated with "spells" but they cannot be caught.

He tried several times in a row and failed, and he couldn't help but be greatly discouraged.

Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw him looking deflated, Ling Ning smiled bitterly when she saw this: "It seems that my method won't work, otherwise let's follow secretly?" ”

Ruoxue didn't seem to hate him so much, and she gloated a little: "You're really stupid! How can you sneak up on the visibility here with such low visibility? You pounce on them as soon as you get a little closer, how do you follow? ”

"So what do you say?"

"What to do? Hmph, look at me! ”

Ruoxue pinched a sword trick in her left hand, and then quickly drew a golden talisman in the air, at this time an evil spirit pounced on them, she saw the opportunity to unceremoniously reach out a little, and hit the talisman into the forehead of the evil spirit, and the evil spirit's scream did not dissipate! A thin golden thread flew out from the neck of the evil spirit, and Ruoxue held it firmly in the palm of her hand, as if grasping the "core" of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit struggled a few times but could not get rid of it, and finally bowed its head as if it was fate, and stopped resisting.

Ruoxue raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "How?" ”

Ling Ning hurriedly praised: "Shangqing Sect is worthy of being the authentic sect of Xuanmen, and this method of catching ghosts and drawing talismans is admired!" ”

Ruoxue said angrily: "You have something to say!" Could it be that my Shangqing Sect can only catch ghosts and draw talismans? We are not mountain and wild Taoist priests......"

"Haha, don't be angry, I'm just kidding. But you're really good at it, what kind of means is this? ”

Seeing that he was so "humble" to ask for advice, Ruoxue "snorted" and said: "This is my Shangqing Sect's 'Spirit Binding Technique', which is specially used to subdue these evil spirits and wild ghosts!" ”

Ling Ning showed an envious expression: "Can such a mysterious method be taught to Zaixia?" ”

Ruoxue hesitated for a moment, this "Spirit Binding Technique" was originally an introductory spell of the Shangqing Sect, and it didn't hurt to spread it, and in this dangerous situation where I don't know what I would encounter, it would be good to have multiple helpers...... Thinking of this, she readily agreed.

Ling Ning originally asked casually, but he didn't expect her to really agree, which made him a little impressed by Ruoxue.

"This girl doesn't seem to be so hateful......" he thought to himself, and the whiteness of her chest unconsciously appeared in his mind......

"Hey, what are you looking at!"

"Ahh Not...... It's nothing! Ling Ning hurriedly turned his face away.

Ruoxue saw his appearance and seemed to understand what he was thinking just now, her little face couldn't help but blush a little, and she forced herself to calm down: "You...... Listen, the mantra for 'Soul Binding' is......"

Ling Ning memorized it with his heart, and then drew a talisman according to the formula, and sure enough, he tried it.

The two of them went around catching evil spirits, and in a short time they caught seven or eight, and under the traction of these evil spirits, they headed in one direction, and they did not know whether this method was feasible.

After about an hour, the fog was much lighter, and the two of them were very happy to know that they were going in the right direction. After another half hour, the visibility increased significantly, and then the two of them suddenly heard another burst of mournful music, mixed with countless screams and groans of pain, and heart-rending weeping.

The sound sounded even clearer and more terrifying than it had been in the Grand Canyon, and there seemed to be a behemoth moving towards them in the fog not far away. The evil spirits suddenly began to leap and struggle, and the two of them untied them, and the evil spirits scrambled towards the mist not far away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The two of them knew that the front should be where the mastermind behind this strange fog was, and they couldn't help but hold their breath and stare ahead.

As the sound got closer and closer, a huge shadow appeared in the mist, moving slowly forward like a small mountain, the two of them were shocked, Ruoxue's little hand couldn't help but grasp it tighter, and her palms were sweaty, which showed the tension in her heart.

A moment later, the huge shadow was closer, all kinds of mourning mixed with heart-rending roars were endless, which was annoying, and as the fog dissipated little by little, the huge shadow suddenly stood out from the thick fog and appeared in front of the two of them!

It was a 100-meter-high castle tower like a hill, divided into three floors, the bottom layer was a huge foundation made of pitch-black inexplicable minerals, the foundation seemed to be equipped with pulleys, tens of millions of ropes stretched out in all directions, and each rope was tied to an evil spirit, skeleton, and walking corpse...... Or a lot of strange lonely ghosts that can't be named!

Hundreds of "warriors" in pitch-black armor are patrolling back and forth on "war horses". These "war horses" are three or four times the size of ordinary horses, their bodies are wrapped in dark silver armor, their eyes are red, and they exude a burst of decay, obviously the legendary undead war horses or something.

These "warriors" in armor with whips in their hands are spurring the lonely spirits and ghosts like coolies to pull forward and slowly move forward in the giant city. The mournful howl of the ghost was emanating from the mouths of these hundreds of thousands of "lonely souls and wild ghosts......

The dark foundation of the city tower is full of walking corpses, the number is about thousands, these walking corpses are painted white, as if painted with a layer of white paint, like the corpse that has just passed away and the body has not yet decayed, they each "wear linen and wear filial piety" holding suona, sheng, cymbals, gongs, bells and other musical instruments, in the middle of a person in a white robe is directing, mourning music is coming from them.

At the same time, wreaths, paper figurines, incense candles, braziers, and white paper flags are hung all around, and countless paper money is scattered like snowflakes, which is daunting.

Further up is the two-storey brightly lit "Red Mansion", the two red mansions, one large and one small, are in the shape of the word "Lu", like the "arrow tower" used for defense and early warning in the capital of each empire in the mortal dust continent.

The two red buildings are covered with colorful ribbons and red lanterns, all made of wood, blue tiles with vermilion walls, and white marble fences, the whole looks extraordinary. If you look closely, every corner under the eaves is delicately outlined with gold thread paint, birds, beasts, insects, fish, immortals, Buddhas, demons, demons, ...... Everything you need and luxury is unparalleled.

The doors and windows of the Red Mansion were closed, but the orange-yellow lights were on, and there seemed to be countless dancing girls dancing inside, and a festive song and dance that was very different from mourning and music floated out. At this time, the sound of mourning was much quieter, but the woman was laughing and playing, and the sound of singing and dancing became clear.

This one up and down, one red and one white, one joy and one sorrow form an indescribable strong contrast!

This is not only a strong visual conflict, but also a strong mental stimulation, giving people an extremely unrealistic feeling, as if all perceptions, senses, flesh and blood have been reduced to nothingness.

Ling and Xue both felt dizzy at the same time, their heartbeats accelerated sharply, their hairs stood on end, and their bodies were as stiff as if they had been struck by lightning, and they couldn't move.

"Poof!" Ruoxue finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in bending over and vomiting.

Ling Ning was about to reach out and pat her vest, but unexpectedly vomited out with a "wow", as if she couldn't stop spitting out, and almost vomited bile.

In front of the danger, Ling Ning couldn't resist the urge to vomit, he raised his head and looked at the city tower in front of him with difficulty, at this time, a house in the middle of the red building on the top floor suddenly lit up with orange and yellow lights, and then opened with a "squeak" under his attention, and a woman's back suddenly appeared!

The woman held a palace fan, her long hair hung down like a black waterfall around her waist, her thin gauzy pink dress made her fair skin loom and dazzling, and at the same time, her waist was slightly writhing like a water snake, which was even more reverie.

However, Ling Ning was not in the mood to appreciate these at all, he forcibly stayed awake and watched all this vigilantly, he didn't know what he would face next, a small negligence would lead to ruin!

The woman in the red mansion stretched out her slender jade hand and pinched an orchid finger!

Suddenly, the roar of mourning and the sound of singing and dancing stopped! They seemed to be waiting for something, and sure enough, the woman slowly sang: "The cool breeze has faith, and the autumn moon is boundless." Looking at my thoughts, my mood is like living like a year. Xiaosheng's surname Miao is the word Lotus Immortal, and the singer is called Mai Shi Qiujuan in order to remember the amorous singer. Seeing that his voice and color are admired by his common lover, he is even more talented and good-looking, and he is indeed ...... of both sides."

"What a Chinese tragedy!"

Ling Ning didn't understand the rhythm of music, and she didn't know anything about this kind of local song, but the woman's voice was lingering, and there was something unspeakably weird in this environment.

In a trance, two evil spirit "scouts" riding pitch-black war horses and armor rushed towards him left and right! On the left, the meteor hammer is raised, and on the right, the ghost-headed broadsword is raised, getting closer and closer to the woman's strange singing!

Ling Ning secretly screamed, "It's finally here!" ”

He quickly carried Ruoxue on his back and said hurriedly: "You can't let go no matter what!" Do you understand? ”

Ruoxue also regained some clarity, she nodded and hugged him hard.

Ling Ning still felt unsafe, he used the "Nether Ghost Step" to fly back and widen the distance, and at the same time took out the rope to tie Ruoxue's body firmly to his body and fix it, the two were even more intimate, Ruoxue felt the heat and body odor on this man's body was a little confused.

After Ling Ning had done all this, he suddenly stopped and leaned down, the stone sword turned into a shattered star in his hand, and he stared at the two horses rushing towards them at the same time to open the Pupil Technique: True Vision!

“…… Today, it is difficult to meet across the sky, and it is a lonely boat to calm the evening scene and cool day. You look at the slanting sun and shine on the double swallows, and I think quietly ......when I lean on the canopy window."

In the midst of the woman's strange singing, two evil spirit scouts had already arrived in front of him, and the weapons in their hands were swung at him at the same time!

Between the lightning and flint, Ling Ning leaned back, and he almost dodged this blow with the tip of his nose against the opponent's blade! At the same time, at the moment of staggering, he turned around and took off his long sword, and made a move "Shattered Star Star Fall"!

"Bang!"

The long sword struck the evil spirit scout with the hammer in his hand, and instantly passed through the chest! The body of the evil spirit scout fell off the horse, and before it landed, its whole body was covered in ice, and after it landed, it was even more "Bang!" "The ground shattered with a thud!

Ling Ning was so excited by his successful move that he hurriedly rushed over to retrieve the long sword, but the other scout had already roared towards him, and the two clashed again, the ghost-headed long knife flashed with blood-colored light and swung down!

Ling Ning hurriedly pulled out a long sword from the ring, and under the effect of the Pupil Technique, he could clearly see the gap between the armor of the evil spirit scout, and his sword went straight to the opponent's armpit!

"Click!"

Although his sword was stabbed, the long sword in his hand was broken in two!

Ling Ning subconsciously hurriedly turned sideways and narrowly avoided the opponent's attack, but a strand of long hair was cut off by a long knife!

“…… I heard the autumn sound of the leaves falling, and I saw the cold smoke of the flat bridge and the decaying willows. Look at my kind of mood sad autumn with Song Yu, besides, Ke Tu Li hates you to say to whom, that is, the old testament is difficult to believe, and the new sorrow is as deep as the boundless sea......"

Ling Ning's aura was finally a little disordered, this was the closest he had ever come to death! Unexpectedly, the blade in his hand couldn't pierce through the opponent's armor, and he regretted a little that he had just thrown the shattered star.

The scout with the devil's head sword reined in his horse, turned his horse's head and rushed towards him!

Ruoxue came back to her senses, she took out a long sword and stuffed it into Ling Ning's hand: "Use my sword!" ”

Ling Ning only felt a bit of cheering from the long sword in his hand, he didn't need to look at it to know that this long sword was not ordinary!

Although he has a little bottom in his heart, he is still a little worried that this is not his own blade,

Ruoxue whispered in his ear: "Listen, this sword is called 'Chixue', I will only tell you one person!" ”

"Chixue ......" Ling Ning muttered the name, the long sword suddenly emitted a burst of white light, he could clearly feel the long sword trembling excitedly, as if it was about to come out of the sheath in the next moment!

Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, he gently pulled out a little, and a fierce cold air poured out like a sharp blade, and as his true yuan continued to be injected, there was actually a feeling of heart-to-heart connection.

The corners of Ling Ning's mouth gradually turned up, and his gaze had already locked on the little pitch-black spiritual power leaking from the seams of the opponent's heavy armor, he knew that that was the opponent's weakness!

The moment one rider and one person staggered, Ling Ning suddenly pulled out his long sword!

With a "swish", one of the arms of the evil spirit scout was cut off by him with unmistakable accuracy!

The ghost-headed long knife also flew into the sky with this broken arm, and before it could hit the ground, Ling Ning's long sword shot out again, directly cutting off the opponent's head!

With a "poof", the evil spirit scout fell to the ground, and a puff of black smoke came out of his armor......

Ling Ning stepped forward and picked up the "Red Snow", this sword also had no gauntlet, and the end of the sword was inlaid with a diamond-shaped white gem, emitting a pale white light. The whole body of the long sword is as white as snow without any variegation, but the blade faintly reveals a red shadow like a blood stain, like snow soaked in blood, no wonder it is called "red snow"!

“…… I remember that Qinglou met a night Mid-Autumn Festival, and you joined hands to worship the moon and Chanjuan, I can't remember a lot of love and righteousness, always lingering love, and pity each other......"

Ling Ning picked up the shattered star again, and then turned over an evil spirit war horse, this war horse refused to give in, but under the shock of Ling Ning's huge True Yuan, Rao is tall body almost fell to his knees, and finally gave in after struggling for a while.

The tower city on the opposite side stopped moving, and with the strange singing of the woman, a hundred sergeants wearing the same armor and holding evil spirit war horses on their hips rushed towards him!

Ling Ning held the twin swords, and with great spirits, he roared and killed them!

“…… Several times the attachment is difficult to part, all of them are only for the fate of the two words to break up and leave the Luan, a burst of tears sprinkled with the west wind red bean tree, and the love of the ancient road Baiyu Tian......"
