Chapter 995: Wisteria City
Wisteria Mountains, somewhere halfway up the mountainside.
Lei Luo stood at a fork in the road, and the little white fox sniffed something with his little nose above the intersection.
They began to track along the mountains and forests at this moment, and there were more than 100 people on the other side, so there were not many trails left behind, so they followed the trail all the way.
"Looks like those guys were here before, and just a few hours ago!" Lei Luo analyzed, looking at the markers along the way.
These markers should have been divided into two teams, and the front men and horses left markers on trees or rocks on the side of the road to guide the way to those who came behind, which was also a common means for the vanguard to guide the rear teammates after the large army was dispersed.
He motioned to the little white fox one or two, and the latter immediately rushed towards a fork in the road.
Lei Luo glanced around, then walked to the other way. This time, he and the little white fox are divided into two ways, but there should be no danger here.
He marched for more than an hour, following the markings along the way, until he finally came to a pavilion where more than fifty corpses lay in the middle of the line.
"Hey, there is no corpse gas and the smell of blood, how did these people die?" Lei Luo wondered as he looked at the corpses.
He walked over to one of the corpses and put his hand against the other's neck, and the person naturally had no pulse.
Then he began to perform an autopsy, the body was all cold, and it felt like it should have been dead for a day, but judging from the marks left along the way, the other party should have been dead for a few hours.
Moreover, these corpses were all pale in color, and their seemingly muddy spirits had been sucked dry, but the blood was still abundant, which showed that they had all suffered similar attacks that severely damaged their souls before their deaths.
"There are ghosts, there are definitely ghosts, and they don't attack the surrounding villagers, this ghost's intelligence is not low!" Lei Luo analyzed after checking it several times.
After saying that, he came to the gazebo, and in this gazebo, he actually smelled a familiar smell.
"It's, bookish!"
This breath was so familiar to him, just a few months ago, he was soaked in the sea of books every day, so he could smell where this breath came from.
At this moment, he sensed that the little white fox seemed to have found something on the other side.
The Thunder Blade flew up, and then flew towards another mountain, and as for the corpses here, it was considered to be cheap for those mountain beasts.
After a while, he came to the little white fox, a dilapidated temple.
The little white fox was waiting at the entrance of the temple at the moment, and when he saw him coming, he pointed inside with his little paw, looking like there was some clue in the temple.
Originally, this was supposed to be a resting place for those tourists who came to and from Wisteria Mountain, covering an area of about 100 zhang, with three small houses and a courtyard of tens of zhang in size.
Lei Luo walked into the front hall, only to find that there were dozens of corpses lying there, and these people were exactly the same as those on the hill just now.
"It's strange, these people's deaths are not right, different from the place just now!"
He noticed that something was wrong, because although the people here had also been drained of their spirit and died, their faces were terrified and hideous, as if they had encountered something extremely frightened.
And the faces of the dead at the gazebo were as usual, and the appearance of death was as if they had fallen asleep, which showed that the modus operandi of the crime came from two people, and it should be said that it came from two ghosts with different hearts.
To sum up, one ghost likes to torture people, and the other ghost does not like to torture people.
"Ghosts have bad tastes!" Raylo muttered, shaking his head.
After finishing speaking, he called Lu Linglong out, and as soon as this woman came out, her beautiful eyes widened, and then she looked at the direction of the courtyard in the center with a hint of surprise.
"There!" Lu Linglong said solemnly, while pointing to the large area behind the courtyard.
Lei Luo knew that this girl was a ghost, so she should have discovered something. All he took with the little white fox, and the woman led the way, and the group walked through the courtyard and walked to the rear.
In the courtyard, there were a few people who looked panicked and were finally chased and killed by ghosts, and they were all corpses at this moment.
However, this also illustrates a problem from the side, the ghost thing that kills people here is not as powerful as the ghost thing at the pavilion, because the other party killed more than fifty people almost instantly, and there are many fish that have slipped through the net under the blow here.
After walking through the courtyard, there is a large one, which enshrines Buddha statues, but this place has been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and even the Buddha statues are covered with cobwebs.
"Childe, here!" Lu Linglong beckoned after pointing to the Buddha statue.
When Lei Luo moved to the Buddha statue, he saw that there was a painting hanging in this place, and the scene in the painting was on a pavilion full of lotus flowers, and there were two women in the pavilion.
"Hey, isn't this woman the fairy in the book?"
After he took off the hanging painting, he took a closer look, and found that the woman in the painting was so familiar, but it was not the book fairy in Xuanzong.
But who is the woman in the Luo skirt next to this woman, and this painting is full of a cold and piercing power, which shows that this thing must have a great connection with ghosts.
Lei Luo wanted to put the painting in the storage bag, but Lu Linglong stopped him, and then took the painting, saying that he wanted to take it back to study.
Then the woman took the little white fox back to Tianji, and there was no clue in this dilapidated temple.
Lei Luo is in the spirit of carefully investigating the case, and he doesn't want to let go of a trace of clues, but there are not many things left by ghosts and ghosts, and there will be no clues such as blood footprints and other clues.
He looked around and saw that there were no clues, but some beasts in the mountains saw so many corpses and were ready to come over for a full meal.
"Since there are no clues here, let's go to Wisteria City and have a look!" he muttered.
With that, his form flew into the air, and then flew in the direction of Wisteria City.
Shortly after he left, a windy wind blew through the temple, and the forms of two women slowly emerged.
These two women are the two in the portrait just now, one is wearing a Confucian robe, dressed as a scholar, and the other is wearing a Luo skirt, like a lady.
"Sister, why don't you let me make a move, isn't that person just a foundation building monk, and that kind of person, who is far worse than your cultivation!"
No matter what action this woman makes, her complexion is extremely cold after all, which also shows that this woman's cultivation has not reached the realm of the ghost king, otherwise she can change her expression at will.
"Sister, if we make a move just now, then we will die, do you know that person's true cultivation!" said the immortal in the book with his head head.
"Sister, is that person a Yuanying monk, but that person's dress and Zhou breath, how can you look at it as a Confucian disciple?"
"That person should have been entangled in evil qi and finally had no choice but to choose to practice Confucian exercises, and judging by his cultivation, he should have entered the subordinate branch of Haoran Academy, and wanted to rely on Haoran righteousness to break the calamity in his body!"
"But looking at his appearance, that evil qi should not be lifted, otherwise the other party would not be in the foundation building period, but a mid-Yuan Infant monk!"
"What, Yuan Infant Middle Stage!" Hearing this explanation, the woman in the Luo skirt said in a shocked tone.
Although the sister in front of her is extremely cultivated, but her soul is injured, and her strength is at most exerted to the early stage of the Yuan Infant, if she really meets a monk in the middle of the Yuan Infant, the two of them can be more auspicious.
And the immortal in the book didn't say one thing clearly, that is, Lei Luo's strength was not an ordinary mid-Yuan Infant stage.
When the other party fell into the path of Shura, the sky-high evil spirit, as well as the punch technique used when he killed the Xuan Ghost Mother, he was not that person's opponent even in his heyday.
"However, the weight of this person's calamity is something I haven't seen in my daily life, since this is the case, it is absolutely impossible to completely eradicate it by relying on that Haoran Righteous Qi Technique alone, I may be able to use that Zhen Sect Technique to make a deal with the other party!"
Shuxian looked at the direction of someone's departure, and a trace of essence flashed in his beautiful eyes, obviously he had a plan in his heart.
......
Raylo flew over the mountains, and finally came to the vicinity of Wisteria City, whose walls were covered in purple vines.
He didn't choose to enter the city immediately, but took off the Confucian robe of the Yuanshan Academy, and changed into a black Confucian robe with no characteristics, and walked into the city like this.
The guards of Wisteria City did not charge the entrance fee, so he slowly walked into this Wisteria City.
The city is very large, more than 100 miles long and wide, but the division of the urban area is very vague, and because of the mountain city, the whole city is built on a low mountain peak.
Therefore, the lower the terrain at the gate of the city, the further you go into the city, the higher the terrain of the city, as if climbing a mountain.
The castle lord's mansion standing in the center of the city is nearly a thousand feet higher than the city gate, and this feature also echoes the characteristics of the mountain castle.
However, Lei Luo did not plan to visit the city lord of Wisteria City, but wandered around the city.
After wandering around for more than an hour, he found some strange places, there were actually not many people in this city, and there were millions of people in such a large city.
But now it was getting late, and all the inhabitants of the city hurried back to their lodgings, as if they didn't like to go out at night, so it felt like a dead city.
"It's strange, there is no night in this Wisteria City, why is the city of so many people so deserted at night?" Lei Luo wondered.
He looked around at the residents who were hurrying home, afraid of lingering outside, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Could it be that there are some man-eating monsters in the city that haunt at night, which is why these residents are so alarmed?
But soon, he knew why.
I saw several fierce men come out of a mansion in the city, these people are wearing animal skin coats, some wearing warrior clothes, and their faces are fierce, and they look like hooligans.
And they are even more arrogant when they walk in the city, and even kick those fruits to the ground when they pass by a fruit stall on the corner of the street.
"Brothers, are you going to the casino to practice your hands today, or are you going to a prostitution hall to have fun?" said one of these people with an excited expression.
When he mentioned the casinos and the prostitution parlors, the rest of his companions all looked excited, and it was obvious that they were ready to go and have fun.
But at this moment, they saw a young man in a Confucian robe on the corner of the street, which made all of them show a hint of joy.
"Brothers, the fat sheep is here, there are some outsiders in this wisteria city who have not come to visit, and the scholar can come here, maybe the family is not small!" suggested the person who spoke first.
After he finished speaking, a flash of lust flashed in his eyes, and the rest of the people also showed fierce light. Because in the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, the scholars who traveled far away in Confucian robes were all entangled with them.
And because of the prevalence of Confucianism, these scholars' homes are also expensive, so this is why several people call the scholars in front of them fat sheep.
"That kid in front, you stop me, our martial arts hall has lost a lot of silver recently, tell me if you stole it!"
Lei Luo felt speechless for a while, and said secretly: "If you rob, you will rob, can you don't deduct basins on me, my reputation is going to stink!"
Then he turned around with a disgusted face, and confronted the strong men who were fierce and fierce with the gods and gods.
"How many of you are calling me?" he said, puzzled.
"It's you, sneaky, we don't have you in Wisteria City, it just so happens that our martial arts hall recently lost money, and the acquaintance handed over your bag to us, let us search it again!"
One person drank vigorously over and over again, and once he stretched out his hand to grab the cloth bag that Lei Luo was carrying.
"Why bother, I didn't want to do more killing!" Lei Luo sighed.
As soon as his form moved, the whole person turned into a fierce tiger and rushed towards the few people who surrounded him on the side, and instantly burst into trouble.
There was a scream in the street, and then the screaming came to an abrupt end.
