Chapter 1 Chapter 18 The Shadow of Legends
Lin Qi and Nan Yin were a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they spent the night in such apprehension, while the rest of Huaiyang Town slept soundly on this wonderful night.
Because the joyful atmosphere during the day is really good, and the wine in the restaurant is really fragrant, if you drink too much, you will sleep very hard at night, and some people die of falling asleep like this.
The moment of the dead man is the deepest moment of the night, but also the quietest moment of the night, the windless clouds at night gradually cover the waning moon, and under the clouds, there is a narrow yellow streamer from the direction of the Admiralty stall to the sky above Huaiyang Town, and in that yellow light, a pair of bleak yellow evil eyes hang high in the sky.
It was as if there were only two yellow stars in the dark sky, and it hung faintly looking at the whole town.
In the early morning of the next day, a fog rose in Huaiyang Town, which is logically normal for this town near the river to fog, but today's fog is surprisingly large.
He covered the town, making the daylight in the town come later, and the woman who first found the corpse of the water demon the other day got up early, and when she got up, she pushed her husband next to her to signal him to get up, but he ignored her.
She was naturally annoyed, so she pointed and scolded a few words.
"You are a dead man, you know how to sleep after one day, and you are lazy in bed that day. β
As she spoke, she opened the door to make breakfast, and she was naturally the first to notice the fog in the sky.
"It's so foggy today, I can't even see the yard. β
In front of her, it was like a white expanse, and she stretched out her hand to stir the mist around her fingertips, and for a while she thought it was very interesting.
Then she went to the kitchen, cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge, and grabbed a few pickled radishes from the pickle jar. Cut into pieces and put them on the table to wake up her son, and then went to the bedroom to wake up her husband.
"You lazy lazy lazy man, Lao Tzu has to chop pigweed to feed pigs for laundry and cooking a day, and work two jobs to support our baby, you only know how to play a baby a day and sleep and eat, I have enough of such days!"
While scolding, she ripped the quilt off her husband's body, and the next sight she saw made her kneel on the ground in fright, and it took a long time for her to let out a miserable and desolate cry.
"You thing, you can sleep ruthlessly, you can bear to leave me and the baby behind, what do you want me to do after you want me, you have no conscience!"
Her screams attracted the attention of the neighbors, who braved the fog to comfort her.
Until now, they all think that her husband had drunk too much last night and died suddenly in a dream.
It wasn't long before a mournful cry sounded again in the street not far away, followed by another family's crying, and before long the town was enveloped in the sound of weeping and screaming.
Lin Qi and Nan Yin also heard this voice, and the two of them came to the roof against the fog, and Nan Yin frowned deeply when he looked at this thick fog.
"What's going on?"
Lin Qi also sensed that something was wrong with the fog.
Nan Yin This is the blessing of mana, looking around above his eyes and said.
"Enchantment!"
"It's not very clever, but it probably confirms something. β
Lin Qi asked, "What's the matter?" β
"The words of the beggar last night may not be far from ten. β
Nanyin's guess was the worst outcome, and the two returned to the room, while Nanyin set up the Dharma platform again.
"You're going to break this barrier?"
"It's trying to leave us with no more time to prepare. β
Nan Yin took out a piece of yellow paper, and wrote a few big characters of Huaiyang Town with a cinnabar pen on the paper, and then he ignited the yellow paper with a mana, and then he picked up an empty bowl on the table and buckled it upside down on the burning smoke.
Then he alternated his hands to form seals, and his mouth kept reciting the law, and when his fingers were a little empty, the upside-down bowl immediately shattered, and the soot in it quickly dissipated.
At this moment, Lin Qi opened the window, and saw that the fog that enveloped the entire Huaiyang Town was dissipating rapidly, and the random sunlight pierced the dense fog, and everyone suddenly realized that the time was close to noon.
Looking at the confused people and the miserable cries outside the window, Lin Qi felt a great sense of guilt in his heart.
He looked at his hands and couldn't believe what he had done.
"What should we do now, we killed the water demon, we helped the thousand-legged prince kill the water demon king, what did we do?"
Lin Qi felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he couldn't help but sit on the bed with a slump of butts, looked at the wine jug on the table, and picked it up and poured it violently.
And Nan Yin snatched the wine jug from Lin Qi's hand and pressed it on the table and said.
"No, it's not like that, it's that we're too naΓ―ve, it's obvious that the water demon you killed by the river is just a bait, a bait of a thousand-footed prince, in order to arouse people's fear, and we are being used, bastard!"
Nan Yin clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, looking very annoyed.
Lin Qi still felt very guilty.
"No, it can't be like this, after all, we killed the water demon, and we must also deal with the thousand-legged prince. β
Nan Yin disagreed.
"No, we can't kill it, from its point of view, it has been suppressed for hundreds of years, and what it wants most now is to suck the blood of the living, and last night it must have killed a lot, it needs to regain its mana, so as soon as we leave, it will kill the townspeople. β
"So what are we going to do. β
Lin Qi was a little unable to make up his mind.
Nan Yin thought for a while and then took Lin Qi out.
"Come with me, we can't leave this town, and the thousand-footed prince will definitely come back tonight, we need to hit everyone up. β
Saying that, the two went out and also saw the mayor, the mayor seemed to be even older at the moment, his face was sallow, and he knelt down as soon as he saw Lin Qi and the two.
"Two immortals, I have never seen such a miserable thing when I was a child, you must save us. β
Lin Qi stepped forward to help the mayor up, while Nan Yin said directly to the mayor.
"Mayor Town, the situation is critical now, the monsters of the Admiralty Stalls are strong, we have fallen for its conspiracy, now all the villagers are gathered in the ancestral hall, and the victims are also gathered, we will fight to the death in the ancestral hall tonight!"
Seeing Nan Yin's solemn words, the mayor didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately arranged it.
Not long after, more than 1,000 people in Huaiyang Town were all hit in the ancestral hall under the call of the mayor, and the number of people who died mysteriously last night was also counted.
A total of fifteen people died last night, and all of them were men in the prime of life, and their deaths were unknown.
All the people were concentrated in the ancestral hall, although the ancestral hall was relatively wide, but it also seemed a little crowded, and several of the more prestigious old people and mayors of the town sat next to Lin Qi and Nan Yin, constantly discussing.
A few of them suggested that they should run now, as long as they ran out of Huaiyang Town, they would be safe, but Nan Yin directly refused, because that would be simply death, and Nan Yin's opinion was to stay in the ancestral hall, relying on the spirituality of the ancestral hall tablet There is still a chance to fight.
And the mayor of the town also insisted on agreeing with Nanyin, and after reaching a unanimous opinion, Nanyin was arranged, and Lin Qi also took advantage of this time to adjust his state to the best.
He knew what kind of strong enemy he would face tonight, although the other party had been suppressed for hundreds of years and his mana was not strong, but he was always a big demon, and he was also uneasy in his heart.
Slowly, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone's hearts were mentioned, and an inexplicable sense of tension and horror enveloped everyone's hearts.
Nan Yin opened an altar in the hall of the ancestral hall, and his heaven and earth net was also laid around him, and he sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall with a blue long sword, his spirit was always highly tense, and the hand holding the sword was constantly opening and closing, and he was also very nervous in his heart.
Lin Qi sat under the tablet of the ancestral hall, he hit the cultivation of his whole body, all his mind was immersed in the sword in his hand, and he felt the rhythm of the sword in his heart.
The silence became deeper and deeper with the night, and the silence in the ancestral hall also increased, and at this time, the yellow light appeared again, it rose from the golden bell stall, and came directly to the sky above Huaiyang Town.
In this way, he absorbed a few here in the first half of the night, and absorbed more than a dozen in several other villages and towns in the second half of the night, according to his imagination, his cultivation would recover in a few years, and he would improve his cultivation after suppressing it for so long, and at that time, it would not be a few days before he became a demon leader and completely achieved the overlord of a party.
But his two bleak yellow eyes scanned the circle, but there was no sign of people, and he began to think that all the people had run away, and was about to chase after them and kill them all in one go, but he saw a good golden light in the ancestral hall in the center of the town.
He felt the two familiar smells, and randomly rolled the clouds in the sky towards the direction where Lin Qi and the others were.
At the same time, in the ancestral hall, Lin Qi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly felt a powerful aura enveloping him, opened his eyes and looked at Nan Yin, and Nan Yin also looked at Lin Qi, both of them were aware that the powerful aura was rapidly falling from the sky.
Nan Yin stood up from the Taishi's chair, he clenched his sword tightly, his eyes solemn.
Lin Qi pressed on the hilt of the sword with one hand, and the momentum of his whole body was raised to the highest point, and his sword of attack would be even more powerful.
And the thousand-foot prince is also extraordinary, it has not reached the sky has rolled up a demonic wind, the wind made a miserable sound of seeping, blowing the surrounding windows vibrating, the door is also violently shaking, the entire ancestral hall squeaks, as if it is about to collapse.
After a while, the shaking stopped, the wind stopped, and a shadow appeared inside the door.
