Chapter 345: The Town
Ye Tian walked towards the town along the road under his feet, originally planning to find someone to ask for directions, but found that the town seemed to be uninhabited, not to mention the people and horses barking, and even the roosters and dogs barked, but all the surrounding houses looked very well furnished, not like they had been abandoned for a long time.
There was silence in all directions, and Ye Tian could even vaguely hear his shallow breathing, which made the town in front of him reveal a trace of weirdness.
Before, Ye Tian was still immersed in the memories of his consciousness that had just awakened, but now when he saw the strange scene in front of him, he could only sort out his thoughts and pay attention to the clues around him.
The first thing that made him suspect was the small dirt road he had walked, perhaps it had rained here before, which had become a little muddy, and even if he stepped on it lightly, he would have seen his footprints.
However, there was nothing but his own footprints, and it was clear that no one had entered or left the town during this time.
Ye Tian looked at the distance of the town with some vigilance, although some fog obscured his vision, but because the owner of this body had eaten some special elixirs before, his five senses were far beyond ordinary people.
Through the mist, Ye Tian found that not far away was the center of this town, where there were two roads that intersected each other, east, west, north and south, each reaching the exit of the town in four directions.
Ye Tian only had to go straight along the road under his feet, and it didn't take long to get there.
At the end of the road, there is an antique gatehouse, in front of which hangs a slender blue curtain and a red lantern, which seems to be the appearance of an inn restaurant.
When Ye Tian saw the inn, he remembered that his belly was already empty, and he didn't know how much time he had spent being sent to this world by that mysterious person. Although he had nothing on his body, he had nothing to lose, but fortunately the town was deserted, and he could go in and find some food to eat.
Ye Tian continued to walk along the road, and the dirt road under his feet, which was originally muddy and potholes, had become a square stone brick road. The houses on both sides of the road have also begun to become more and more brand new and neat, surrounded by poplars and weeping willows, flourishing into shade.
The smell of decay wafting in the air, for some reason, suddenly became intense, making people smell faintly uncomfortable.
And the closer Ye Tian got to that inn, the stronger and pungent the smell became.
Wrong!
Ye Tian immediately frowned, because the smell was the smell of corpses caused by the decomposition of corpses, and the smell of corpses was so strong that it obviously required a large number of corpses to emit it.
Pushing open the door of the inn, I saw that the entire hall was full of flies and mosquitoes, making a "buzzing" sound, disturbing people's hearts, and all the corpses were gathered in this inn, forming a gloomy mountain of corpses, could it be that the people in the entire town were killed?
The decomposition of these corpses had just begun, and Ye Tian could clearly see the appearance of those corpses, young and strong men, old and weak, women and children, and the dead looked extremely hideous.
And on the top of the heads of all these corpses, there was a hole large on the outside and small on the inside, apparently caused by some kind of cone-shaped instrument, and those holes were empty, and there was no blood or brain.
If Ye Tian expected to be right, these people should have been killed by someone who cultivated evil skills, and the essence, blood, and brains in their bodies were all taken by that person's magic weapon.
Ye Tian had also met some people who cultivated evil skills on the earth before, if it was about the cruelty of cultivation and the number of sacrifices, those people before were out of reach.
Ye Tian, who originally planned to find some food to fill his stomach, could only decide to leave this place, after all, those who cultivated evil skills have always been the law of the jungle. At the moment, the demon has not been away from this place for a long time, if he really encounters it, Ye Tian, who has lost all his skills, is afraid that he will not be able to get any benefits.
At this moment, Ye Tian noticed some voices and footsteps coming from the surroundings, scattered around the entire town, walking towards the inn.
Although the origin of these guys is unknown, they are obviously not the demons who cultivate evil skills, Ye Tian judging from the footsteps they walked forward just now, everyone's cultivation is not high, all of them are at the level of the Qi refining period.
Although the cultivation of this group of people was not high, Ye Tian did not plan to meet them under any unknown circumstances, so he quietly left the inn.
Out of the gate of the inn, Ye Tian found that there were only two roads in front of him to leave, but there were people on both roads, and they were approaching the inn.
The road in front of him is impassable, if he jumps away from the house, because the roofs of this town are full of tiles, Ye Tian can hardly guarantee that he can not make any noise without being discovered.
Soon, more than a dozen people over there also smelled the smell of corpses, and they sped up their pace and rushed to the front of the inn, just bumping into Ye Tian face to face.
"Who are you?" The one who spoke was a young man in a Taoist robe, who was holding a sword at Ye Tian and said sharply.
Behind the young man in the Taoist robe, there were more than a dozen people, dressed almost like him, they should be disciples of the same sect, but the young man's clothes and decorations were slightly different from the rest of the people, and he should be an inner disciple.
Everyone caught a glimpse of the blood stains on Ye Tian's clothes at this time, and without saying a word, they drew their swords one after another.
"After passing through this place, the journey was tiring, and I wanted to rest here, not wanting that there was no one in this town, and I smelled the smell of corpses, so I followed the smell, and found that all the people in this town had died in this inn. Ye Tian said with a straight face.
"Quick, you two go inside the inn and see what's going on. The inner disciple who had been talking to Ye Tian just now immediately turned his head and commanded the two beside him.
"Tell me, what's the matter with the blood stains on your body?" The inner disciple continued to ask Ye Tian again, his tone was much more polite than just now.
In his opinion, Ye Tian's conversation just now was extraordinary, and his appearance was also delicate and elegant, so he was not a famous and authentic cultivator, but also a child of a family. However, because his clothes were stained with blood, he could not be conclusive.
"I met a group of bandits on the road who were robbing the caravan, but I was not good at learning and couldn't dodge when I shot, so I was splashed with blood on my clothes. However, the blood stains on the lower clothes have been dry for many days, and the corpse in this inn has just died, and you can see at a glance that what you say is true. Ye Tian immediately spoke.
Ye Tianfang just explained this way, it was the way, and it could stand up to scrutiny, and most of the doubts of the people in front of him were immediately dispelled, and the inner disciple first withdrew the sword in his hand, and the rest of the people followed suit.
"Senior brother, the situation is even more serious than what Elder Kou said, this town is not a bandit or robber, but a demon who cultivates evil skills, and all the people in this town have been sucked by the demon with an evil weapon. The two people who entered the inn just now had already run out in a hurry and reported to the inner disciple.
"Those corpses just died?" the inner disciple continued to ask the two.
"The smell of corpses has just come out, so it shouldn't be more than a day. One of the disciples replied.
"The demon must not have gone far, let's not separate for the time being, lest we fall into the way of the demon. After listening to the reports of the two disciples, the inner disciple also proved that what Ye Tian said before was true, and immediately instructed the people around him.
"Then what about this person?" a disciple looked at Ye Tian who was standing on the side, and asked in a low voice to the inner disciple.
"This brother, because the situation is unknown, so he has offended a lot, please forgive me. However, there are demons in this town, and we are disciples of the Puritan Sect, so we might as well go on the road together now, so that we can take care of each other. The inner disciple bowed his hand to Ye Tian, and said apologetically.
Because the current situation is obviously not something that one of his inner disciples can handle, the top priority is to lead his fellow disciples back to the mountain gate, go to the master and elders, and let them make a decision. And the young man in front of him is obviously also a person who cultivates and practices martial arts, and he made an appointment to go on the road together, and if he really meets the demon, it will also be a lot of help.
"It doesn't matter, that's exactly what I meant to be. Ye Tian said lightly.
These cultivators want to go with Ye Tian, and they just happen to be in the middle of Ye Tianxia's arms, because Ye Tian's consciousness has just awakened and he knows nothing about this world, so he can just ask these people on the road or learn some about the customs and customs of this world.
The origin of the demon cultivating evil skills in that inn is unknown, and all the exercises that Ye Tian learned before have been erased by that mysterious person, if he is unlucky, he may not be able to resist. Now it is safer to walk with these disciples of the Path.
In this way, he followed this group of cultivators to the outside of the town.
These disciples were all extremely cautious on the way out, looking around with their heads and tails, obviously the demon who cultivated evil skills made them a little uneasy.
Ye Tian was caught in the middle of this group of disciples, and he had already sensed that someone was approaching around him, and the people around him obviously didn't know anything about it, but in order not to let himself be noticed by the other party, Ye Tian didn't open his mouth to say anything to the people around him.
Just as everyone was about to leave the town, suddenly a black light flew from the left side of everyone, as fast as a gust of wind, directly piercing the head of a disciple who had no time to react.
