Chapter 22: Misfortune
"Knock, knock, knockβ"
The old woman leaned on crutches, poked her head out, grinned, and ghostly smiled.
Compared to just now, she exuded an obvious ghostly aura, and even her movements were much stiffer.
Huang Liang leaned against the corner of the wall, and without moving, he could directly see the figure of the old woman.
But the rest of them were not, and they all turned their heads to look at her.
And at the very moment they turned their heads.
The old woman suddenly let out a low roar and rushed straight towards Wu Yuanjie, who was closest to her.
"Scaredβ"
Wu Yuanjie was also frightened by this sudden attack, and took a few steps back.
But in the end, it was a qi refiner who came out of the blessed earth, and then he took out a talisman from his sleeve.
Throw it at the old woman.
I don't know what kind of talisman it is, but without aura, as soon as it touches the ghost, a blue flame ignites.
"Kill her first!"
Xue Nan immediately made a decision, and punched directly at the old woman, and the rest of the people also used their own means.
Huang Liang is the farthest away.
By the time he punched her, the old woman was already lying on the ground, without the slightest reaction.
"What's going on?"
Wu Yuanjie asked with a pant.
"Captain, the villagers outside seem to have turned into ghosts and roaming the streets."
Lu Xiaosheng squinted his eyes and looked outside for a while and said.
Xue Nan said: "Close the door first, we have to occupy a safe place first." β
Seeing that Lu Xiaosheng was about to close.
Huang Liang hurriedly said: "Wait! β
Xue Nan looked at him and frowned.
"Now we have the door open, but it doesn't cause any movement from the ghosts outside, which means that we are safe for the time being.
In that case, let's not actively add variables. β
"Makes sense!"
Lu Xiaosheng immediately agreed.
Xue Nan also nodded, "Okay, now let's talk about what I found just now." β
"When it's dark, the villagers turn from humans to ghosts."
"This also verifies Zhou Hu's doubts when he inquired about the news during the day, and the villagers all said that the day was night."
"Maybe they're ghosts."
After a few people chattered for a while, Xue Nan set his eyes on Huang Liang, who had not spoken.
"Zhou Hu, tell me."
Huang Liang pondered for a moment, but decided to reveal some of the news he got from the mountain god to them, so as not to be wiped out.
"I wonder why that ghost thing wanted to kill us as soon as it appeared.
But the ones out there don't, so there will be some pattern in between. β
Wu Yuanjie sneered, "Why else is this, isn't it because we are relatively close." β
"It's a possibility."
Huang Liang stared at him and nodded seriously.
"What Zhou Hu said makes sense, our mission can only be completed at night, so it's impossible to stay in this house all the time."
Xue Nan glanced at the Muramasa family hidden in the darkness, and continued: "Now I have to go out and investigate, see the situation in the Muramasa's house, and by the way, see if we can find out the law of ghost killing." β
"I'm the captain, I'll go to one, and one more of you will come, who's coming?"
Huang Liang didn't move, and the rest of the people moved.
"Okay, then Zhou Hu, you guys are waiting here."
Xue Nan was directly assigned.
"I'm low, captain, don't blame me for being a drag." Huang Liang followed behind Xue Nan and walked outside, landing silently.
Xue Nan didn't speak, just made a gesture to silence.
The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I really don't understand the captain, a loose cultivator, what is worth valuing."
Wu Yuanjie said disdainfully.
Lu Xiaosheng didn't speak, and took out a black snake from the cloth bag.
One bite at a time, it's like gnawing on a stick.
The shy scholar Xu Qing reached out to wrap his arms around Zhao Yue's waist, and the two entered the old woman's room.
Wu Yuanjie was dumbfounded.
β¦β¦
One, two, three......
From here, there were at least three ghost creatures on the road, and this was the night vision ability that Huang Liang had only after he entered the Dirty Refining Realm.
But he found that Xue Nan, a qi refiner whose dantian was banned, could also see at night.
"The ghost in front of the left is a lonely one, I'll touch it first and test it, you observe here to see if you can find the pattern."
Xue Nan's voice sounded in Huang Liang's ears.
This captain is not ordinary...... Huang Liang didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Xue Nan wrapped his robe and quietly touched forward.
The ghost thing is an old man, dressed in sackcloth, and carrying a hoe on his shoulder, leisurely.
Xue Nan got closer and closer.
Ten meters, eight meters, six meters......
The ghost jerked back.
Xue Nan tiptoed a little, stepped forward quickly, and swaggered with his big sleeves.
Huang Liang didn't even see it clearly, and the ghost thing was put to the ground by him, silently.
Later, Huang Liang saw him take out a small bottle from his arms and drip a little liquid on the ghost's body.
The ghost turned into black smoke and dissipated.
He quickly retreated.
"Six meters."
Huang Liang said in a deep voice.
"So, as long as you don't get within six meters of these ghosts?"
Before Xue Nan's words fell, he saw that Huang Liang's face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
"Definitely not the reason for the six-meter ......"
Huang Liang stretched out his hand and pointed behind him.
I saw that at the end of the road nearly 100 meters away, there were three ghosts rushing towards them.
Blazing fast.
"!"
Xue Nan scolded in a low voice, "Go back first." β
Huang Liang didn't stop at all, his body was like the wind, and he disappeared in an instant.
Xue Nan: "......"
The two returned to the door, but there was no one in the house, and it was quiet.
Huang Liang stopped, and Xue Nan arrived.
"There's something going on inside."
"How long have we been out?"
Huang Liang replied: "No more than one stick of incense." β
"Let's go."
"There's too much weirdness in this village, let's go out first." Xue Nan's face was a little ugly.
He didn't enter the house again, didn't even shout, turned and walked towards the side of the house, over the wall.
Huang Liang followed.
The two of them pressed against the wall, cautiously reaching the outside of the village.
All around was a roar one after another, occasionally mixed with a few human words.
It's getting more terrifying.
We had just been out for a short time, and we weren't far away, but they still had problems.
No fighting was heard, and no signs of fighting were seen inside the house.
This is very undeserved.
What's more, that Lu Xiaosheng is the same kind of person as himself, and he is cautious by nature......
The two of them stopped suddenly.
Not far ahead, in a courtyard, nearly ten ghosts were gathering, constantly biting something.
Huang Liangxin knew that something was wrong and was preparing to retreat.
But a stone suddenly flew out from under Xue Nan's feet and hit a roof in the distance, making a muffled sound.
The ghosts around them turned their heads to look at them and ran away.
After waiting for a few more moments to make sure that there were no more ghosts, the two of them set off again.
Soon they were near the courtyard.
Two days looking through the fence into the courtyard.
A horrible corpse, flesh and blood torn to the ground, and there was not a good piece of flesh.
It can only be discerned by the clothes on the ground, and the bloody corpse lying on the ground is the rotten Keshan monk.
Wu Yuanjie!
Looking at the tragic situation on the ground, Huang Liang couldn't help but wonder...... Is this Nima a ghost?
It's not a zombie, is it?
"Being close, the vision, the sound, can trigger the attack of the ghost."
"From now on, we will communicate with each other."
Huang Liang looked at Xue Nan and shook his head.
"You won't?"
Huang Liang hesitated for two seconds and nodded.
