Chapter 55: Ghosts in the Night
Chapter 55: Ghosts in the Night
The last glimmer of light that belongs to the day is hidden, and the night comes.
I don't know where the gusts of wind blew from, blowing layers of dark clouds, making the entire Qiantang County area look particularly dark, and there is not even a trace of starlight that can pass through the clouds.
On this nameless peak, outside the nameless Dao Temple, Chen Changsheng had already forgotten about the two things, and tried his best to repair the last little crack in the Purple Mansion, only a wisp of consciousness was given to the body surface, not to mention the dark clouds, even if it was a howling wind and thunder, as long as he didn't perceive a special danger, this wisp of consciousness would not wake Chen Changsheng up from the Purple Mansion.
As a monk, although he was only a Jindan stage monk, Ye Qiu naturally also meditated instead of sleeping.
However, as an ordinary person, Zhao Fugui couldn't sleep at this time, and he didn't dare to leave Chen Changsheng's side, his expression was even more nervous and nervous to look around, not letting go of a trace of wind and grass.
Suddenly, Zhao Fugui's writhing body froze suddenly, his pupils dilated, and his eyes looked in the direction of Qiantang County in a daze.
The uninhabited Qiantang County, the Qiantang County that was as dark as the surroundings, I don't know which moment, it was actually brightly lit, like a day.
Zhao Fugui's shock was not only that, he was born with sharp eyes, although he is now almost fifty years old, but his eyes are still bright, these bright eyes, let him vaguely find that it was an empty county town, and there were countless figures on the city wall at this time.
What the hell is going on, who are so many figures on the city wall, will they find out here, after all, the outermost city wall of this county is only more than a thousand meters away from this mountain peak, and the eyes are sharp, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not be discovered.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fugui couldn't help but be shocked, but he didn't dare to push Ye Qiu, who was meditating at this time, he could only get close to his ear and said in a low voice: "Master, mage, it's not good, something is wrong." ”
In this kind of place, Ye Qiu naturally didn't dare to cultivate with all his might, most of his consciousness was still looking around, and as soon as Zhao Fugui got closer, he had already stopped cultivating.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qiu was sitting with his back to the direction of the county seat at this time, and when he looked around, he didn't find anything unusual, so he couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
"Master, look at the direction of the county seat. Zhao Fugui's voice was trembling, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, he knew that the entire Qiantang County was a forbidden place, and he heard that the demons were rampant, but he didn't expect that this county was the base camp of the demons, and now he was still on the small mountain peak that was only a kilometer away from the county seat, and he felt frightened when he thought about it, but he was afraid that the demons in the county would come over.
As a Jindan monk, Ye Qiu's eyes were countless times sharper than Zhao Fugui, and Zhao Fugui could vaguely see the figure, but Ye Qiu could see it carefully.
Carefully enough for him to find that the dense, motionless standing on the city wall of Qiantang County were countless soldiers wearing white robes and shrouded in armor, these armors flickered with cold light, which showed that their quality was excellent, Ye Qiu had also seen a lot of Great Zhou troops, but he found that there was no Great Zhou army like the soldiers on this city wall, and the whole body was wearing armor.
Moreover, these soldiers were so disciplined that they didn't even shake at all, which made Ye Qiu very puzzled, which army actually appeared in this Qiantang County silently, or this was the legendary demon in this forbidden land.
At this moment, even Ye Qiu didn't dare to act rashly, and like Zhao Fugui, he began to monitor every move in Qiantang County. In this way, after most of the night, the lights in the county town were still brilliant, but there was not a single figure entering or leaving the county gate, and the soldiers on the city wall were still standing there motionless as if they were wood.
"Master Zhao, I'll go over there to investigate. Ye Qiu suddenly said softly.
Compared with the other three continents, the monks of Nanzhou took it as their responsibility to kill demons and demons, coupled with the curiosity in their hearts, and the fact that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so Ye Qiu made the decision to go and investigate.
"This, this, mage ......" Zhao Fugui couldn't help but be surprised, now it's more than half of the night, seeing that the sky will be bright in a few hours, and then he can leave this Qiantang County safely, so he can't help but persuade, "Mage, this is too dangerous, that Qiantang County is not too much compared to the Longtan Tiger's Den, but I've heard that ten years ago, even the martial arts of the Zhenguo Wuhou returned here, why don't the mages stay here for a few more hours, and when the day dawns, we can leave safely." ”
It's just that Ye Qiu's mind has been decided, and no matter how Zhao Fugui persuades, he can't change it, but Ye Qiu also explained: "Master Zhao, don't worry, although Ye Qiu is a lowly cultivator, but my Dragon Tiger Mountain Patriarch is the head of the four heavenly masters, Ye has the invisibility talisman and concealment talisman specially given by the elders I sent on his body, as long as he is not too close, even an immortal can't easily detect it, wait a minute, I just get close to the city wall to check, and if I want to come, I won't be discovered." ”
......
For the old man of his own family, although he was full of confidence, Ye Qiu did not dare to be careless, he carefully descended the mountain all the way, and then sneaked for nearly a thousand meters, and he was already under the city wall.
At this time, when I came to the county seat at close range, I found that the temperature here suddenly became colder, and there were gusts of wind, blowing from nowhere. Looking at the soldiers on the city wall again, I found that these soldiers actually put their hands in the armor, only two small holes were opened in the eyes of the armor, and a faint green light was revealed from the small holes, and the whole figure exuded a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere.
"This is a ghost general, this, this, how can they appear in the world, and why do they occupy this Qiantang County?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he never thought that the ghost soldiers who had occupied Qiantang County for ten years were actually densely packed with ghost soldiers on this city wall, and after a little calculation, he found that these ghost soldiers had not 100,000 but 70,000 or 80,000 people.
Ye Qiu, who discovered this situation, did not dare to act rashly, he had to report this situation to the sect, you must know that if this place is occupied by demons, even if it takes a long time, after the demons are expelled, Qiantang County is still Qiantang County, but now it is obvious that this Qiantang County is occupied by ghosts in the earth realm, if it takes a long time, I am afraid that this Qiantang County will become another mountain, become a human realm underworld.
You know, that Pishan is also the land of Nanzhou, but since ancient times, countless ghost kings have gathered in this mountain land, slowly, the entire Pishan mountain within a radius of thousands of miles, actually became the underworld of the human world, although this place is still in the human world, still in the Nanzhou, but the entire range of the mountain is not suitable for human habitation at all, everything there is like the underworld, the sky is forever shrouded in a layer of gray clouds, the sun does not shine, there is no day and night......
Because of this, Ye Qiu, who found out about this situation, was so frightened that he even wanted to report it to the ancestor in the heavenly court through the sect, but fortunately, although he was shocked at this time, he still barely controlled himself, after all, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, and he wants to leave quickly.
It's just that just as Ye Qiu was sneaking towards the mountain peak, all of a sudden, where the entire mountain peak was, a blood-colored light rushed up to the sky, accompanied by a burst of shaking mountains, rushing up to the sky, wanting to penetrate this layer of dark clouds, and then a faint yellow color rose, actually suppressing this blood-colored light to slowly fade, and then disappear......
This scene happened too quickly, especially the blood-red light, the Xuanhuang light, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was just what I saw, but the array of shaking mountains was not fake, when the light disappeared, the feeling of shaking the mountains a few times suddenly, like a splash of water, bloomed in all directions.
"Why don't you be small, you dare to peep at my king's presence and look for death. I saw a ghost general on the city wall who was different from other ghost soldiers, although he was also wearing armor and a white robe, but his face was without face armor, his face was like a human, although it looked pale and abnormal, without a trace of blood, but if you look carefully, this general in front of you does not look like a ghost, I saw him holding a bow and arrow, pulling the bowstring, and shooting towards Ye Qiu's hidden place is an arrow.
Just now, when the earth was shaking, it had already affected Ye Qiu, who was already shaking his heart, and accidentally showed a little breath, but he didn't expect this ghost to be so sensitive, and so decisive, as soon as he found out about the situation, in a word, it was like an arrow from outside the sky, and it was shot out.
As soon as he felt the life-seeking arrow flying behind him, Ye Qiu was out of his body in an instant, where was he still in the mood to deliberately maintain the stealth and concealment talismans, and he rolled to the ground next to him without thinking about it......
"...... Grandiose"
The arrow sank straight into the rocks.
Ye Qiu, who just dodged this arrow, didn't have any surprises, the arrow just now was obviously just a very random arrow after the ghost general found out, and now that he has no stealth and concealment, the distance between the county town and the mountain peak is a few kilometers away, but it is difficult to cross.
Ye Qiu didn't dare to run anymore, it wasn't that he didn't want to run, but although he exuded a trace of aura just now, if that ghost general didn't have the strength of an immortal, he would definitely not be able to find out, in front of such a strong man, where would he have a chance to escape, it would be better to turn around and see each other, and people would not shoot you immediately.
Sure enough, when the ghost general on the city wall saw Ye Qiu slowly turn around, and then raised his hands, although he was still holding the bow, he didn't shoot it out immediately.
