Chapter 340: The Ghost Returns
Leaving the inn, Han Ming used his escape technique, and it didn't take much effort to infiltrate the Heavenly Master's Mansion where the disciples of the Ascending Star Sect stationed in Beijing were stationed.
Contrary to Han Ming's expectations, this Heavenly Master's Mansion was not as deserted as before, there was only one sect disciple guarding it, and now there were five or six monks sitting in the hall in the center, and they seemed to be discussing things.
After thinking for a while, Han Ming withdrew his qi collection technique, no longer concealed his aura, and walked towards the hall in a big way.
"Hey, why did Senior Brother Han come back so quickly, Chen thought that Senior Brother Han would be more than ten days late, after all, that demon beast was unusually timid! Senior Brother came back so quickly, in order to collect some spiritual objects again, or had already captured that demon beast!" Chen Fengqing, who was sitting in the center, was the highest, so when he found Han Ming for the first time, he raised his eyebrows, stood up, and bowed his hand slightly to Han Ming, who had already crossed the door!
"Senior Brother Chen, Han is fortunate not to be dishonored, after a few days of trapping, he finally caught this troublesome demon beast, and now he is here to deal with it!" Han Ming arched his hand slightly at Chen Fengqing, who stood up, and said lightly.
Chen Fengqing showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard this, he was very clear about that demon beast, almost all the disciples of the Ascension Star Sect in Beijing tried to capture this demon beast, but they all returned in vain after spending one or twenty days, and some of them had not even seen the shadow of this demon beast.
Even if this Senior Brother Han was really familiar with that demon beast, he wouldn't have captured this demon beast so quickly, after all, that demon beast had been trapped by them several times, and it had become abnormal and alert.
"Senior Brother Han has brought that demon beast back!" Chen Fengqing let go of the slight surprise in his heart and asked.
"This demon beast is very timid, and its speed is not slow, and the junior brother is afraid that the shot will be light, so he will not pay attention to let it run away, so he did not grasp the sense of proportion when he started, which caused the demon beast to die on the spot, and he did not capture it alive, and brought back a corpse at the time, I don't know if this has any effect!" Han Ming patted a storage bag on his waist, and immediately took out a half-zhang-sized mutilated ape-like demon beast from it.
The corpse of this half ape is all black and hard long hair, these black long hairs are black and shiny, the shortest ones are more than a foot long, it looks good, but at this time, these long hairs are stained with a lot of dried black blood, exuding a burst of fishy smell.
"Looking at the appearance, it's indeed the demon beast that is making trouble!" Chen Fengqing saw the demon beast in front of him, and immediately said, after which he raised his foot and kicked the demon beast slightly, hooking out his right arm that was pressed under his body.
"Sure enough, it's this brute, and it still has the wound on its right arm that we left behind. After Chen Fengqing recognized this demon beast, he retreated backwards.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Han for successfully completing the task, is Senior Brother going back to the sect directly this time, or do you have any other plans?" Chen Fengqing casually threw a fireball at the ape corpse, which instantly burned it into a pile of ashes, and then he no longer cared about this demon beast, but turned his head to look at Han Ming, and asked.
"Senior Brother Chen, Han still has some things to deal with this time, so he won't stay in the capital. Han Ming said lightly.
"Okay, Senior Brother Han will give the task list jade slip of the sect to Chen Mou, and Chen will remove the mark from it, which can be regarded as an endorsement that the junior brother has completed the task, so that the junior brother can go back to the sect to make a business!" Chen Fengqing shook his sleeves, revealing his right hand that grabbed a small seal!
Han Ming smiled slightly, took out a jade slip from the storage bag, and handed it to Chen Fengqing's hand.
Chen Fengqing took the jade slip and slowly injected mana into the seal in his hand, and a circle of colorful light suddenly emanated around the seal, like a rainbow after the rain.
"Smack. Chen Fengqing gently covered the jade slip in his hand with the brilliant seal, and then lifted it again.
This seal was extremely strange, and instead of leaving any marks on it when it was met again, it pulled out a white bead from the jade slip.
"Okay, Senior Brother Han, you can go to the Mission Pavilion with the jade slip to settle the spirit stone!" Chen Fengqing grabbed the seal and retracted his sleeve, while the other hand handed the jade slip back to Han Ming.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen. Han Ming took the jade slip, flipped his hand and put it into the storage bag, and then bowed his hand slightly to Chen Fengqing!
"Senior Brother Han's task of catching demon beasts has been completed, so are you interested in staying in the capital for the time being, assisting us in maintaining the safety in the capital, and waiting for the next shift of people to arrive in a few months, and then return to the sect in unity. Chen can call the shots, as long as Senior Brother Han stays, the spirit stones he takes every month are not lower than our Golden Peak disciples!" Chen Fengqing said to Han Ming with a smile.
After hearing what Chen Fengqing said, Han Ming shook his head and replied without thinking about it: "Thank you Senior Brother Chen for your kindness, it's just that Senior Brother still has some things to deal with, so it's really not good to delay." ”
As soon as Han Ming spoke, the few Golden Peak disciples sitting around him were surprised, and there were some different expressions in their eyes when they looked at Han Ming.
The aura of this capital is thin, and it is far inferior to the sect protector array, which leads to almost no one willing to come here to guard. In order to encourage the disciples to come and garrison the capital, Jin Dingfeng raised the reward of the garrison to an extremely high level, making the task of garrisoning the capital a sweet spot within the Golden Peak, and ordinary disciples of the Golden Summit Peak could not compete for this task, let alone the disciples of other peaks in the sect.
Among the several Golden Summit disciples here, which one didn't take a lot of effort to get this task, but the person from the outer peak in front of him actually took the initiative to resign, how could he surprise these Golden Summit disciples!
"Senior Brother Han doesn't want to stay here, and Chen doesn't do much reluctance. It's just that now that the night is dark, Senior Brother Han still stays in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for one night, and then leaves Beijing tomorrow morning. Chen Fengqing was rejected by Han Ming, but there was not much surprise, nor did he have any displeasure, but asked again with a smile.
"No, for us cultivators, a little night is nothing, Han won't bother here, and I'll leave!" Han Ming said with a smile as soon as he arched his hand at Chen Fengqing, and then arched his hand to several Qi cultivation period cultivators around him and said, "Senior brothers, junior brothers and sisters, Han will not bother here!"
At this time, the Qi cultivation period cultivators were no longer silent, and they all bowed their hands slightly to Han Ming!
Han Ming smiled slightly, turned his head and walked outside, and after a while, he melted into the night.
Half an hour later, in the middle of this hall, a young man holding an origami fan arched his hand at Chen Fengqing and said, "Senior Brother Chen, why don't you say anything and keep more, if you really can't do it, you can add more spirit stones? Recently, the number of scattered cultivators in the capital has surged, and we really can't turn over our manpower!"
"Alas, junior brother doesn't need to say much, this senior brother Han is not some other junior disciple of the same sect, and I am afraid that those spirit stones that we can call the shots will not be able to enter his eyes. We just have the attitude of trying it out, if we can't do anything, don't force it, otherwise it will embarrass both parties in the end!" Chen Fengqing shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but glance at the direction where Han Ming disappeared.
"But what about those loose cultivators!" the young lady continued.
"Hmph, I really don't believe that those scattered cultivators dare to provoke right and wrong, after all, this Jiang Kingdom is still the Jiang Kingdom of the Five Sects! If they are really impatient, then we will let them know how to write dead characters, after all, Master Li is still outside the city, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get to the city. Master Li's strength, you should know, but the existence of the top three in the sect's foundation building is against the old monster stationed in Beijing from the Demon Sect, and it will not necessarily lose!" Chen Fengqing's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"Alas, having said that, I'm afraid that we people will have to be busy for some time, after all, it's not good to trouble Uncle Li for everything!" the young man shook his head slightly.
"It's always right to be busy, after all, we have the sect's rich spirit stones, so it's better not to do anything!" another Qi cultivation stage monk interjected on the side.
"That's reasonable, but let's discuss it again now and see how to assign tasks!" Chen Fengqing turned his head, walked towards the top, and then sat on it!
......
At the same time, in the ancient city under the Thirteen Princes' Mansion.
A figure wrapped in a black cloth was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands pinching, and bursts of attraction emanated from his body, pulling the rich yin qi around him, condensing it into a small black vortex and instilling it into his body!
The figure wrapped in black cloth sat in a cross-legged cultivation, and not far from him, two monks in yellow robes stood together, their heads leaning together, as if they were talking about something in a low voice!
"When did you say that the Ten Thousand Skull Array will be able to break through, these days, just looking at the creation flowers inside, it is a bit of an itch, this is a spiritual thing that can assist in building the foundation, but it is hard to find, but here it is seven or eight plants growing together. A yellow-robed monk whispered.
"Not long ago, I heard Senior Liu say that in the past two days, for some reason, the power of the Ten Thousand Skull Great Array has decreased a lot, and it will only be in the past two days to break the formation!" another yellow-robed monk replied in a low voice.
"Alas, I don't know if we'll have a chance to go in after the Ten Thousand Skull Array is opened!" a monk sighed slightly.
"Haha, Li Daoyou is too worried, although the 10,000 skeleton array is broken, but the skeleton ghost soldiers are still there, just a few seniors, I'm afraid it won't be able to clean it up completely, and when it comes, we will definitely let us help clean it up, and we still have a chance to go in!" the yellow-robed monk laughed.
"I hope so!" said the monk, who also smiled slightly.
"Guy, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to go in, because you're going to die here now!" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a black qi suddenly came out from the feet of the two Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators, and in an instant, it wrapped around the ankles of the two Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators.
"It's a ghost cultivator, use the Burning Sun Talisman quickly!" This Qi cultivation period monk was shocked as soon as he was entangled in the black qi, and he threw out a red talisman seal without thinking about it, hitting the black qi under his feet, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, reminding the monk in the other Qi training period on the side to use the Burning Sun Talisman.
The red talisman seal thrown by the monk directly burned a crimson liquid flame in the air while it was still flying, and this flame turned slightly in the air, and it turned into a red bird, rushing towards the black qi with a terrifying high temperature.
Just when the red bird pounced on the black gas, the black gas suddenly gathered in the middle, and in an instant turned into a python head, biting at the bird, just "Ahhhh With a bang, the liquid bird was swallowed by the python's head!
The monk who threw out the talisman seal was extremely frightened, and his heart was beating wildly, he never imagined that the Burning Sun Talisman, which was invincible against ghost cultivation, was directly swallowed by this black qi.
"Hahaha, the monk's flesh and blood are still slowly devouring. Another gloomy voice came, and the black qi suddenly turned around and directly penetrated into the bodies of the two Qi cultivation stage cultivators.
As the black qi entered the body, the two Qi cultivation period cultivators were even more shocked in their hearts, they couldn't even use their mana now, and there was no difference between the Qi cultivation period monks and mortals who couldn't use their mana.
"Corpse seniors, help, there are ghost cultivators. The yellow-robed Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator turned his head slightly and shouted at the figure not far away who was covered in black cloth.
The figure wrapped in a black cloth slowly collected the trick at this time, stood up, and walked out of the darkness, revealing his whole body.
If Han Ming was here, he would recognize at a glance that this person was the black-haired iron stiff who besieged him that day.
The black-haired iron stiff walked forward, and looked at the two Qi cultivation period cultivators who were gradually devoured by the black qi, but they did not step forward, but stood with their hands tied, waiting quietly.
After about half an hour, the black qi scattered to both sides, and two robed dry bones fell from the air and smashed to the ground.
The black gas closed in the middle again, and it gradually condensed into a black ghost, quietly suspended in the air, looking at the black-haired iron stiffness not far away!
"Foundation building period!" the black-haired iron stiff buzzed sound.
"I only broke through not long ago, and it's still in the early stage of the foundation building period, but it's not like you, it's already a third-order iron zombie, and it's only one step away from the fourth-order iron zombie, and it won't necessarily be defeated in the late stage of the foundation building period of the human race!"
