Chapter 57: There Are Really Ghosts
"What about that girl, seeing that she has long hair, she doesn't look like a person from Buddhism, but she has a sandalwood fragrance on her body, what's going on." Zhang Ran looked at Long Xing.
Long Xing, as a veteran martial artist of the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, is very familiar with the three major martial arts halls, and Long Xing may know about it.
"She shouldn't be a disciple of the Tongsheng Martial Arts Hall, I haven't seen her before, she should have joined in temporarily." Long Xing said in a deep voice.
"Is it okay to add in temporarily?" Chao Jin grinded his teeth and said.
"As long as the three martial arts halls agree, it's okay." Long Xing said.
After Zhao Li arrived, he sat on the stone bench, and Zhang Ran, Chao Jin, and Long Xing stood behind.
The stone table in the courtyard has only three stone benches, and each stone bench sits an elder of the martial arts hall.
Li Xia said: "Zhao Li, you are late. "Rixia is the elder of the Divine Mighty Martial Pavilion, and she is the young woman.
Zhao Li smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth: "It's not too late, it's just right, I don't believe you look at the time." After speaking, he pointed to the sun in the sky that shines on all things in heaven and earth.
Gu Yue said: "Don't talk about this, the place where the battle will go this time, the owners of the three major martial arts halls have already negotiated, and they are going to the ancestral house of the old lady Sha in the outer city of Qiantang County." "Gu Yue is the old man of the Tongsheng Martial Arts Pavilion.
When Gu Yue spoke, he took out two thin books and put them in front of Li Xia and Zhao Li, Gu Yue said: "The ancestral house of Old Lady Sha, you should have all heard its legend, it is a haunted house, this is true, there are already fifty or sixty people who died in it, and later passed by Qiantang County, the Qianhe Daoist, seeing this, sealed the haunted house, and even left a disciple here to maintain the seal of the haunted house, and introduce some information about the haunted house to your two books, so that your disciples can better understand the haunted house." ”
Li Xia and Zhao Li are old people and are very familiar with haunted houses, so although Gu Yue is talking to the two of them, he is actually saying it to all the disciples below.
Zhao Li frowned and said, "The ghosts in this haunted house are very fierce, and it is difficult for the disciples to come out alive after entering, isn't it too dangerous." ”
What he meant was that the people who went in were all the most elite disciples, and if they all died inside, it would not be good for the martial arts hall.
Gu Yue said: "This is a decision made by the owners of the three major martial arts halls, the reason for the decision is that the Shenwei Martial Arts Hall has a stone peak, the Tongsheng Martial Arts Hall has a Liu Zhiyan, and the Five Tiger Martial Arts Hall has a Zhang Ran, the three of them are the strongest disciples over the years, and they will definitely come out alive when they enter the haunted house, and there is even a small chance of killing that ghost." ”
Zhao Li said: "Then can you only send three people, and the other disciples don't have to go, otherwise you will increase the casualties and send them to death in vain." ”
Gu Yue said: "The master of the three major martial arts halls didn't say it, and I also agree that the other disciples will not go, if you all agree not to go, you can only let the three of you go." Gu Yue said this to approve Zhao Li's statement, the other disciples are going to die, and they don't want other disciples to go, after all, they are all the most talented people of the younger generation, and there is a certain chance of becoming a martial artist in the blood qi realm in the future.
After Gu Yue finished speaking, Zhao Li and Gu Yue looked at Li Xia, and now it was up to Li Xia to express his position.
Rixia said flatly: "I also agree. "She doesn't want the genius disciples of her martial arts hall to die.
"I don't accept it, why should we go in and die." Chao Jin stood up and said loudly, he really wanted to participate, but now that it came, he was vetoed, and he was very angry.
"If you say that you will die, you will die, our judgment is beyond doubt, the elders of the three major martial arts halls are here, what do you look like if you talk like this, step back." Zhao Li said scoldingly.
Zhao Li said very harshly, and the momentum exuded from his body immediately shocked Chao Jin, and Chao Jin didn't dare to say it anymore.
"I wanted to participate, I was lucky enough to be one of the three in the fight, so it was so unfair to knock us out, and I hope to give us a chance." Gongsun Yu said.
Gongsun Yu told Zhang Ran that he would see him in the battle, if he didn't even participate in the battle, it would be a big joke, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.
Gongsun Yu's words immediately aroused Chao Jin's courage, and he said again: "I hope you give us a chance." ”
Gu Yue looked around at everyone and said, "Who of you still wants to participate." "No one spoke anymore, seeing that Long Xing, Sun Tianqi, Lu Yun, and Luo Qingshan didn't speak, they didn't want to participate.
Long Xing knows his own strength, and with his strength, he will not be at the bottom of the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall every year, and the most important thing for him to become the top three this time is to get the Enlightenment Fruit, which is something that can be met but not sought, only this one chance, maybe there will be no in the future.
Sun Tianqi knew that he couldn't beat Zhang Ran and Shi Feng, and he knew that he couldn't gain anything by participating, so it was better to deepen his martial arts, in order to defeat Zhang Ran in the future and avenge his previous fight in Chunhuayuan.
Lu Yun was because of Liu Zhiyan's sudden airborne, he knew that he couldn't get any benefits, and he didn't want to participate very much, and Luo Qingshan had now been admitted to Nan Shaolin, he didn't care whether he participated or not, and now he just wanted to quickly break through to the blood and qi realm and join Nan Shaolin quickly, the two of them had similar thoughts, and they didn't have to fight for the first place in the Tongsheng Martial Arts Gym, after all, there was Liu Zhiyan, after all, everyone in the Tongsheng Martial Arts Gym put their hopes on Liu Zhiyan.
"Then add two more people, Gongsun Yu and Chao Jin join." Gu Yue said.
There are five people who participated in the haunted house, Shi Feng, Zhang Ran, Liu Zhiyan, Gongsun Yu, and Chao Jin.
"Go ahead, a three-story house next to it is a haunted house, as long as you stay in the haunted house for a day, whoever comes out first at this time tomorrow will be the winner." Gu Yue said.
"What if you kill the ghosts inside?" Chao Jin said.
"Whoever can kill it can come out immediately and get the first, you don't have to wait for a day in the haunted house, of course, you have to have this ability, this ghost is very fierce, even our three elders can't deal with it." Gu Yue said the last sentence, which sounded sarcastic, but it was actually a reminder.
When Gu Yue answered, Zhang Ran pulled Long Xing aside and asked, "Is there a ghost in this world, why haven't I seen it before, and I haven't heard of it." ”
Zhang Ran thought that there were no ghosts in this world when he killed the ghost centipede in the ghost mansion, but this battle broke Zhang Ran's heart, because there are ghosts in this world, Zhang Ran should have thought about it a long time ago, there are zombies in this world, how can there be no ghosts.
"I've heard the master say something, I'll tell you about it now, you can understand it." Long Xing said.
Long Xing is a disciple of the Great Elder, and he grew up in the Five Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion since he was a child, so he knows a lot.
"Today's great tomorrow, Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne as the emperor, for the country and the people, diligent for the government, hard work, with the dragon qi of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the whole world, where the dragon qi reaches, demons and monsters, ghosts and ghosts dare not appear, but there are very few who come out to make trouble, for example, our Qiantang County, from childhood to adulthood, you haven't seen much of the demons and monsters." Long Xing said.
Zhang Ran nodded, it was very rare, he had only met twice, once was a zombie encountered in the ancient tomb, and once was a haunted house that was about to enter, as for the previous ghost mansion, it was not a ghost, but a strange insect ghost centipede, so it was not counted.
In this battle, Zhang Ran brought the ghost centipede and the three-headed snake, the ghost centipede and the three-headed snake had already evolved in a day's effort, and the ghost centipede became the size of two fists, surrounded by black stripes, all of which were made of poison, as long as they were touched, they would be poisoned, of course, as the owner, the ghost centipede would not let Zhang Ran be poisoned.
And Zhang Ran found that the poisonous centipede also had one more ability, this ability was mastered by Zhang Ran through the beast, and the ghost centipede told Zhang Ran that the ability was that the ghost centipede could absorb ghosts and become its ghosts, but now the ghost centipede can only absorb two more ghosts.
In other words, in the future, ghost centipedes will not only have to get those ghost phantoms, but also get out the real ghosts.
I heard that I went to a haunted house this time, Zhang Ran was glad to bring the ghost centipede, after all, the ghost centipede is to restrain ghosts, Zhang Ran wants to kill the ghosts in the haunted house, killing zombies to gain so much experience, killing ghosts should get more, with ghost centipedes the probability of killing ghosts is greater.
After all, these three elders said that they are not opponents of ghosts, they are third-level blood refiners, and this ghost may be above the blood qi realm.
After the evolution of the three-headed snake, it has now reached more than five meters long, Zhang Ran found that the left head can spit poisonous mist, the right head can spit poisonous water, although the middle head does not have any ability, but it is very fierce, as long as it is bitten, it will be finished immediately.
"And even if the demons and monsters rarely come out to make trouble, but Daming also has an organization to eliminate demons and kill ghosts, it is the six doors, as long as there are demons and monsters, the six doors will be eliminated." Long Xing continued.
In this Ming world, the Six Doors is an organization to eliminate demons, which is a little different from the previous life, Zhang Ran thought.
Seeing Zhang Ran's expression, Long Xing said: "The six doors are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, not only to eliminate demons and ghosts, but also to eliminate evil, like those who are traitors and criminals are also the targets they target." ”
Well, compared to the six doors in the previous life, there is one more demon and demon removal, and the others are about the same.
Although Long Xing didn't say much, Zhang Ran roughly understood, that is, now that the Ming Dynasty is strong, there are not many demons and monsters, but Zhang Ran still has a doubt and asks: "What will happen if the Ming Dynasty declines." ”
"That is, demons are rampant, ghosts and corpses are ambushed, and purgatory on earth." Long Xing said.
Zhang Ran's heart moved, because the emperor of Jiajing is two extremes, when he first ascended the throne, he would be a Ming monarch, and the country and the people would be safe, but later, Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, no longer went to the court, and lived in seclusion in the harem to practice the way of immortality.
However, there are still some years before Emperor Jiajing believes in Taoism and does not go to court, so Zhang Ran didn't think much about it.
Shi Feng, Zhang Ran, Liu Zhiyan, Gongsun Yu, and Chao Jin left the courtyard and entered the haunted house next to them.
When everyone entered the haunted house, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it was raining heavily, and from time to time a bright light flashed, which was thunder and lightning.
Chao Jin lit the candle on the candlestick, but the candle in the room was still dim and flickering, as if it would be extinguished at any moment, and the air smelled of musty, and it smelled of tumbling in his stomach.
But by this time, I could already see the scene inside the house.
There are portraits of people on the walls, about seven or eight, some of them are dressed in official uniforms, some look like merchants, some look like scholars......
Although the painting is a little blurry, a pair of eyes are very strange, as if they are staring at everyone all the time.
The furniture in the room, all wooden, rotten, would break apart at the slightest touch, and there were two broken windows on the walls, which squeaked and creaked, and you could see the heavy rain outside the windows.
