The old man led them to a small three-story building, then knocked on the door and shouted, "Xiaowen, open the door, it's my Grandpa Liu, I met a few monks from the Purple Cloud Sect to help us get rid of ghosts!"

After two breaths, they heard a childish voice, "Coming, coming, don't worry." ”

The door opened to be a little boy who looked like he was eleven or twelve years old, but his face was not good and a little pale, probably because of the ghosts of these days.

The old man led them into the room on the second floor, and assigned each of them a room, the old man said that because it was haunted, no one lived in it and it was empty, but Chen Liang and they did not have one room, but the three girls chose a big room to sleep together, Chen Liang and Fan Cheng slept together in a room.

That night, Chen Liang was going to change into a night suit and go to the town to have a look.

When Fan Cheng saw it, he asked, "Lao Liang, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to take a look inside the town, and I think there's a chance that the old man is false. ”

"You doubt the old man?"

"Well, I'm not sure, though, so I'm going to go to town. ”

Saying that, Chen Liang had already changed into his night clothes.

"I'll go too, don't put you in any danger. ”

Chen Liang opened the window and turned around and said, "No need, I can do it alone, you don't know my hidden skills, if you are here, if the old man comes, you can prevaricate." ”

Chen Liang climbed through the window and quietly disappeared into the night.

The town at night is more gloomy than during the day, and coupled with the cold of autumn, I am afraid that ordinary people with weak bodies will fall ill the next day. There were only a few lights in the town, where there should have been thousands of homes, and there were no lights in the villages a little further away.

Chen Liang shuttled through the buildings, he was now looking for a house with a light, and then quietly went in to find out the situation.

The interior of a fairly luxurious building is brightly lit, and sometimes some voices can be heard, which is exactly the person Chen Liang is looking for.

He secretly climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard, quietly resting on the wall and listening to the people inside.

"Well, I don't know how long we will live, but those ghosts have completely kept us in captivity. It's really desperate to not even get out of the door!" came the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Can't get out?" Chen Liang only then observed the surroundings, and only then did he realize that there was a talisman pasted inside the gate, and there was something that looked like a ghost floating around and monitoring here, because of Chen Liang's hidden spirit, it didn't find itself.

Chen Liang used his eyesight technique to find that the ghost and the talisman seemed to have a slight connection, and the manifestation of the ghost was the function of the talisman. However, that ghost thing is obviously a low-level, maybe not even the fourth order of opening the vein, but they are like immortals to mortals. Chen Liang remembered seeing this thunder talisman, which was a kind of talisman that could be temporarily stored by ghosts.

"I don't know how many families are left in the town now, maybe it's coming to us soon, poor my son, who is about to be born and will leave this world. ”

"Master, don't be too sad, maybe the Purple Cloud Sect monk already knows the situation here and rushed here to get rid of that ghost. ”

"Hopefully, forget it, it's a day to live, and there are a few days of surplus food left in Steward Wang's house?"

"There are less than ten days left. ”

"Looks like we'll have to save some food. ”

............

Chen Liang didn't hear anything special, but he knew that the ghost thing could use the ghost talisman to trap people in the house, which made him very strange, and this ghost thing was too smart.

He listened for a while but received no more useful news, so he quietly climbed over the courtyard wall and continued to look for people in the night.

After a while, Chen Liang found another house, but it was just an ordinary brick house, and Chen Liang stuck in front of the window to listen to the words of the people in the house.

"Grandpa, aren't you hungry, why are you giving me all the steamed buns. The voice of a four or five-year-old girl came out.

"Grandpa is not hungry, I ate it when Tongtong didn't see it just now, Tongtong eat. ”

"Oh, grandpa, why don't we go out, I haven't played with Xiaoqing in a long time. The child said innocently.

"Now there is a monster outside, grandpa can't beat him, wait for a while and he's gone, grandpa will take Tongtong out again, okay?"

"Well, if grandpa can't beat him, we won't go out, and Tongtong can have a lot of fun alone. ”

"Tongtong is so good, eat quickly. ”

This passage touched Chen Liang deeply, because he was also raised by Old Man Wang, and there were many similarities with this pair of grandchildren. Although the old man is not as gentle as this grandfather, he is no worse than this grandfather to himself.

Listening to the old man's words, they shouldn't have much food to survive, and Chen Liang didn't have any food to eat, but he saw a grain shop just now, but there should be no one quiet inside, so he went directly to the grain shop.

After a pillar of incense, Chen Liang rushed back, with a bag of flour on his body, he arrived at the door and unconsciously imprisoned the talisman with a 'white gap', then took it off and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who!

The old man's loud shouts could be heard from inside.

"Old man, don't panic, I'm a disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect, and I'm here to subdue that ghost. ”

"Grandpa, what is the Purple Cloud Sect, and what are the ghosts?" came the little girl's immature inquiry from the room.

"The Purple Cloud Sect is a sect of immortals, and the ghosts are the monsters, they are here to get rid of the ghosts, and they can go out to play when they are in addition to Tongtong."

Chen Liang listened to the conversation between the two and smiled without interrupting.

"Immortal, I can't open the door, the door is blocked by a ghost. ”

After hearing this, Chen Liang pushed open the door and walked in, put down the noodles, then closed the door again and said, "That little ghost has been subdued by me, I will bring you some food first, and we will drive those ghosts away in two days, you don't have to worry." ”

When the little girl saw Chen Liang, she hid behind her grandfather, obviously afraid of life.

Chen Liang looked at the old man's face that was emaciated by hunger and the little girl's curious gaze and said, "Children, don't be afraid, my brother is here to save you." ”

"Tongtong come out, thank you Immortal Master. As he spoke, the old man pulled the little girl and was about to kneel.

Chen Liang hurriedly helped them up, "Old man, don't need it, I'm here to ask about the ghost." ”

After hearing this, the old man hurriedly moved out a chair for Chen Liang to sit on, and then poured another cup of hot tea for Chen Liang and said, "This matter has to start from ten days ago, wasn't there a purple cloud in the sky a month ago, we originally thought it was a good omen, but after a period of time, it ushered in a catastrophe." ”

Chen Liang sat down and didn't drink the hot tea, but listened quietly to the old man's words, while the little girl looked at the legendary young immortal master curiously.

"It was a gloomy and uncomfortable day, and the sky was cloudy and windy, when suddenly a ghost in dark green clothes suddenly appeared in the town, followed by two red-clothed ghosts and a group of imps. As soon as they saw people, they killed people, and people fled, but when they reached the edge of the town, they were stopped by an invisible layer. After killing the ghosts for a while, they gathered the rest of the people and locked us all in the house, probably to kill slowly. ”

The old man took a sip of tea and continued, "Alas, there were still some immortal masters in our town at that time, but they were not the opponents of that ghost, and even the most powerful Wu immortal master in our town was killed by that green-clothed ghost. We ordinary people are even more helpless, just like our grandparents and grandchildren can only wait for death at home. But fortunately, Immortal Master, you are here, I heard that the Immortal Master Dao of the Purple Cloud Sect is connected to the sky, and you will definitely be able to subdue that ghost thing!"

After hearing this, Chen Liang roughly knew what was going on, so he asked again, "Don't worry, old man, we will definitely subdue that ghost thing, can you tell me when that ghost thing usually appears later?"

"Well, I can only judge by the sound I usually hear, the ghost thing is estimated to appear once every two days, because every two days I can hear someone's screams, tomorrow should be the time for the next ghost thing to appear, every time I feel hopeless, if it weren't for my granddaughter, I would have committed suicide directly. ”

"Okay, the old man is fine, aren't we here. By the way, that old man, do you know that there is a shopkeeper Liu of Xianglin Inn?"

"Xianglin Inn...... Well, remember, this inn seems to have opened a year ago, and their shopkeeper is surnamed Liu, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, when we first came to the town, we happened to meet Shopkeeper Liu walking down the street, and he took us to his inn to stay, so I asked. When Chen Liang learned that there was indeed this person, he was a little relieved.

Then Chen Liang took out two evil talismans and activated them, pasted them on the old man and the little girl respectively, and finally gave them a messenger and told them that if something happened, they would spit out a mouthful of blood on the tip of their tongue on the talisman and he would know.

This is because the talisman that Chen Liang gave them is not of high grade, and the mortal tongue also has a little aura on the blood, which is just enough to stimulate this talisman. And Chen Liang didn't take them away on the one hand because it was inconvenient, and on the other hand, he somehow still had some suspicions in his heart that the old man Liu was abnormal.

Chen Liang then chatted with the old man and comforted the old man and the little girl before leaving here and continuing to run towards the town.

This time, he didn't go to check on the people again, but to see if there were any formations in the town, because he heard the old man say that they were trapped in the town at that time, and this must be because of the formation.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Liang finished exploring the town and said softly, "Sure enough, someone else has arranged a large formation here, which is enough to prevent the early stage of foundation building monks from leaving, then the highest cultivation here should be the early stage foundation building monks." The golden body of the land temple was also broken, it seems that this fact was premeditated, and it is not good to say that it is the old man Liu, because he and Ben were not imprisoned by the ghost, and there was no ghost to guard the door. ”

After he returned to the inn, he told Fan Cheng about his investigation results and his guesses, and they finally decided not to pierce it first, and wait until it was certain, so as not to cause misunderstanding.
