Chapter Ninety-Four: Ghosts and Evil Spirits
Li Xiuping shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then continued to bow his head to eat.
This guy spared such a circle, just so that he could drink with him in the future.
Maybe only in this way, the wine he bought with his own money, this guy can drink with peace of mind.
Li Xiuping is too lazy to dwell on such a trivial matter now, he just wants to finish the meal quickly, and then find a place to stabilize his realm, and it won't be long before he can enter the second floor of the foundation.
Soon, in the surrounding discussions, there was something that Li Xiuping was very interested in.
"Have you heard about Majiatun?" A man asked suddenly.
When the rest of the people heard this question, they immediately came to their senses, put down the wine glass in their hands, and after looking left and right, one of them lowered their voices and asked, "You mean the haunted thing?" ”
The man who raised this topic nodded, and continued: "I heard that after the New Year in Majiatun, children disappeared mysteriously one after another, and many talented people were invited, and they tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't solve it. ”
Another nodded and said, "It seems that the Night Walker Division has also intervened, but it doesn't seem to have any effect." ”
"Even the night division can't solve it, I'm afraid Majiatun will be ...... this time"
As he spoke, several people shook their heads and sighed at the same time, and then continued to drink and continue to talk about other people's affairs.
After all, it's just something that has nothing to do with them, and it's just a matter of talking about it, and it doesn't seem to be of much use except that it can be used for drinking.
Li Xiuping asked, "Let's go and have a look?" ”
The man in white nodded and said, "This kind of thing must be beneficial." If you are the worst, you can also get the bounty from the government. ”
Li Xiuping didn't think about it so much, but he was a little curious about what the so-called ghosts looked like.
He had heard a lot of things related to ghosts before, but in fact, he had never encountered them, even if there was a sudden outbreak of demons in Qingyang County, they were all monsters, which were not the same as the rumored more monsters.
According to rumors, monsters come and go without a trace, soaring through the clouds, calling for wind and rain, and can also change in various ways, which is amazing...... It's a pity that even if he went to the Huayang Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation, he couldn't see it.
With a decision, the two quickly finished the meal, and then inquired about the location of Majiatun, and went straight to Majiatun.
The two of them walked around the mountains for a long time, and finally reached their destination before dark.
Majiatun is located between the mountains, there are only forty or fifty households, at this moment should be the time when the smoke is curling, but the whole tunzi seems dead and silent, like a layer of invisible clouds.
To enter Tunzi, you need to climb a stone arch bridge first.
On the stone arch bridge, there are all kinds of yellow talismans, many of which Li Xiuping has never even heard, basically they are the products of folk monks used to fool ghosts and fool people, and there is really no effect, but there are also some real materials with grades.
The existence of being able to take out this kind of talisman is naturally not an ordinary person, but it still hasn't been able to solve the matter of Majiatun, which shows that the matter here is not so simple.
Li Xiuping took the lead on the stone arch bridge and couldn't help asking: "Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?" ”
The man in white did not answer, but said with a smile: "The world is so big, there are no surprises. ”
Li Xiuping tore off a talisman from the guardrail of the stone carving, felt the spiritual power contained in it, and asked, "What is the difference between a demon and a demon beast?" ”
At this time, Li Xiuping still believed that this man who called himself a wine fairy had some ability, at least he should be a well-informed person.
The man in white said: "Strange, also known as monsters, spirits, and ghosts, is a kind of thing produced by the creation of heaven and earth. A tree, a bird, because of some kind of chance, has mastered the method of cultivation, can change on its own, spit out human words, and hide the demon body, which is for the monster; Somewhere the aura gathers, or the resentment is overwhelming, over the years, there is a certain change, the birth of divine consciousness, spiritual wisdom, is a spirit; After a person dies, his soul does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, wanders the world, absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth, or is eroded by resentment and evil energy, and he is a ghost. ”
Li Xiuping nodded and continued to listen.
The man in white continued: "As for the demon beasts, they are a race similar to human beings, they have existed since the beginning of the existence of heaven and earth, multiplied, and have their own inheritance, and the strength realm is affected by the bloodline inheritance. Generally speaking, the demon beasts below the Yuan Infant Stage are not too strong, and what they rely on is nothing more than the inheritance of their own bloodline and the strong physique of the demon beast and the body, among the same level, the demon beast is rarely the opponent of the human monk. ”
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "After Yuanying, will it be stronger?" ”
The man in white nodded and said: "After Yuan Ying, not only does he have the innate strong physique of demon beasts, but he can also practice like a human monk, master all kinds of magic powers, and naturally become stronger. ”
He smiled slightly, and continued: "But after all, human beings are the chief of all souls, and the gap between their physique can also be made up for through various magic weapons, so there are all kinds of magic weapons against demons and ghosts, as long as they are sacrificed, even if they are defeated, they can protect themselves." ”
Li Xiuping nodded again, looked at the tunzi in front of him, and asked, "Then this kind of ghost, is it more difficult to deal with?" ”
The man in white also looked at the tunzi in front of him and replied: "It depends on the situation, everything has high and low, strong and weak, a fierce ghost, it is indeed difficult to deal with." These things are hard to see with the naked eye, they come and go without a trace, and if there is no special magic weapon, there is no way to take them. ”
It should be knowing Li Xiuping's thoughts, the man in white said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are a foundation building monk now, and you have such a huge sword intent in your body, as long as you are not the kind of fierce murderer that is rare in the world, you don't dare to get close at all." ”
Li Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief, but said in his mouth: "With you, the immortal, what am I afraid of." ”
The man in white smiled.
As the two walked into Tunzi, Li Xiuping obviously felt that the speed of the operation of the sword intent in his body had been affected, as if something restricted the operation of the sword intent in his body, but this thing could not be seen or touched.
"This is the evil spirit?" Li Xiuping asked.
The man in white nodded, did not speak, but observed something left and right.
At this time, several men walked towards this side, blocked in front of the two, and said in a deep voice: "I am here to perform official duties at night, and the idle people will leave quickly." ”
Li Xiuping directly took out the black iron order and said, "I am also from the Night Division, take me to see the person in charge." ”
Everyone looked at the black iron order in Li Xiuping's hand, and they didn't know whether it was true or false for a while, but they didn't dare to slack off, and saluted at the same time: "I've seen my lord." ”
After speaking, he got out of the way, and then led the way for Li Xiuping and the others, while a man ran back to Tunzi to report quickly.
After walking into Tunzi, Li Xiping asked, "What's going on here?" ”
The person who led the way couldn't help frowning and asked, "Your Excellency doesn't know?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I was just passing by, and I heard that there are evil people here, and there are also night divisions involved, so come and see if I can help." ”
The man nodded, not skeptical.
Those who can have the Black Iron Order, the status of the Night Division is not low, and the holder of the Black Iron Order, there is no specific group of people, many people in the rivers and lakes will also have the Black Iron Order, this kind of person generally has great ability, and is almost not controlled by the Night Division at ordinary times, and will only take action when he travels around the world and encounters similar strange events.
The two people in front of them have an extraordinary bearing at a glance, obviously they have real skills, and now that they are here, maybe they can really solve the matter of Majiatun, after all, they have been here for a while, not only have they not been able to solve the strange events here, but many people have even been affected by the evil qi and are delirious.
Because of the matter of the demon beasts in Yunzhou, the Night Walking Division has mobilized most of its strength, and now there are very few available manpower, and after their team received the task, they came to investigate, and then reported the situation here, but until now, the upper authorities have not sent support.
If this continues, let alone solve the situation in Majiatun, I don't know if they can leave Majiatun alive.
After a while, there was a bearded man leading a few people to run towards this side, and after seeing Li Xiuping and the two, he clasped his fists and saluted: "The little one has seen two adults." ”
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said, "Big brother doesn't have to be polite. ”
Li Xiuping asked again: "What is the situation now?" ”
The bearded man sighed, as if he couldn't say anything, and said, "My lord, please come with me." ”
As he spoke, he led Li Xiuping towards a courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, I heard all kinds of strange sounds coming from the house, some crying, some laughing, strange and harsh.
In front of the door of the house, two nocturnal men stood with swords, and after seeing the bearded man, they saluted at the same time.
The bearded man raised his hand and said, "Open the door." ”
The two men opened the door, and the sound of crying and laughter became even more harsh.
The bearded man said to Li Xiuping: "My lord, please." ”
Li Xiuping frowned and walked towards the house, only to see that there was an oil lamp lit in the room, illuminating the originally dim room, and there were seven or eight people in the room who were tied to the pillars, all with iron and blue faces, glowing blue under the light, which was very infiltrating.
Where had Li Xiuping seen such a scene, his brows couldn't help frowning deeper, and he could only look at the man in white.
What Li Xiuping didn't expect was that the man in white spread his hands and said, "I can't help it." ”
Li Xiuping could only ask: "How long has this been the case?" ”
The bearded man hurriedly replied: "It's been three days, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Li Xiuping then asked, "Why did it become like this?" ”
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Three days ago, there was a sudden strange noise in the tunzi, and it was a few of them on duty at that time, and when we arrived, it was already like this. Judging from the symptoms, it should be evil spirits entering the body, and I can't solve it for a while, so I can only restrain them, and then tie them here, waiting for the instructions from above. ”
As he spoke, the bearded man looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Adults may save them?" ”
After all, Li Xiuping has been in the Night Division for two years, and he knows a lot about these men in the Night Division, so he naturally knows what this man thinks.
After all, these people are his subordinates, and if they die like this, he will naturally feel uncomfortable, and naturally hope to save the lives of these people.
Li Xiuping replied: "I'll try first, but it may not be successful." ”
The bearded man said bitterly: "It's enough for adults to be willing to make a move, if it still doesn't work, it can only be their life." ”
Li Xiuping continued: "Tell me about the situation here first. ”
The bearded man should also know that this is not the place to speak, so he turned sideways and said, "My lord, please." ”
Everyone changed rooms, and the rest of the people waited outside, only the bearded man took Li Xiuping and the two into the house, and then began to tell everything he knew.
From beginning to end, the man in white just listened from the sidelines, taking a sip of wine from time to time, and had no intention of interfering at all.
By the time the bearded man had finished his report, it was already nightfall, and the heavy night shone on the earth, and even the moonlight had been obscured by dark clouds.
According to this bearded man, they came here five days ago, and nothing happened in the first two days, and just three days ago, there was a situation with those people, and then until now, nothing has happened.
During this time, they also used some special methods, but they didn't see anything strange about the whole Majiatun.
After the bearded man finished speaking, he asked, "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Li Xiuping was confused, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Save them back first, they should know more." ”
The bearded man nodded and said, "The villain also thinks so, so I took the adults to see them before." ”
Li Xiuping couldn't help but glance at the man in white again, but found that the guy was leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, and he looked like he didn't care about himself, hanging high.
Judging from this guy's calm and relaxed expression, Li Xiuping knew that he must have the ability to settle down, but he just didn't want to make a move.
Li Xiuping naturally didn't dare to ask him for help, in the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with him, but with this person here, Li Xiuping's heart can't help but be a lot more stable, at least if there is really any big trouble, this guy can't really sit idly by, at least he won't put himself in danger, otherwise he wouldn't have to save himself before.
Li Xiuping walked out of the house directly and walked towards the house where those men were hanging.
According to the bearded man's statement and Li Xiuping's own speculation, he felt that these people should have been corroded by the evil qi, and as long as the evil qi in these people's bodies was removed, they should be able to recover.
Once these people regain their senses, they should be able to get some useful information on their own.
Of course, Li Xiuping didn't know whether this method would work, after all, he had never tried it.
Li Xiuping walked into the room, asked the rest of the people to guard outside, and then walked over to one of them, closed his eyes, and released his divine sense.
He planned to use his divine sense to enter this delightful body first, determine the situation of these people, and then come up with a solution based on the situation of these people.
As the divine consciousness entered the body of one of them, Li Xiuping's face changed suddenly, and he was also surprised in his heart, because after the divine consciousness entered the other party's body, it was like suddenly entering a bottomless abyss, and it was like entering an invisible cage......
Some people died, but not completely......
