Brother 41: The First Mission
Hao Yan left the main hall and returned directly to the cave, and in the cave house, Hao Yan smiled helplessly.
It was night, Hao Yan was cultivating cross-legged, steadily cultivating, and at the same time, he was constantly guiding his attributes, but at this time, Yan Tianhong's voice sounded in Hao Yan's mind: "Boy, if the three attributes of your body are not well guided, you are likely to go crazy."
When Haoyan heard Yan Tianhong's voice, he immediately looked around, but Yan Tianhong's voice sounded again: "Don't look at it, I just planted a mark on you when I checked your body today."
When Haoyan heard this, he was nervous: "I don't know what advice my predecessors have?"
"Haha! With your qualifications, I'm afraid that you will be buried in the Gui Sect, I think you might as well join my Brahma Sect, what do you think?"
When Haoyan heard this, he knew in his heart that this Yan Tianhong had no intention of dying, so he said: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors, the juniors will join the Guiyi Sect, and they will not betray the master, and please forgive the seniors."
"Hey~ It's a pity that a good seedling, forget it, even if you want to stay here, then stay here!" After the words fell, Haoyan didn't hear Yan Tianhong's voice anymore.
Haoyan wasn't sure if Yan Tianhong could still hear her voice at the moment, so she didn't talk much and continued to meditate.
Early the next morning, he heard the news of Yan Tianhong's departure, and Haoyan finally put his mind at ease, but at this time, Tianyisanren summoned Haoyan.
Coming to the cloud pavilion of Tianyi Sanren, Haoyan hurriedly saluted: "Disciple to meet the master"
"No need to be polite, Yan Tianhong should have gone to look for you yesterday!" Tianyisan looked at Hao Yan and waited for Hao Yan's answer.
Haoyan nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect him to plant a mark on his disciple"
"Hmph, I knew he wouldn't give up, but I think your answer made him die," Tianyi Sanren looked at Haoyan with a hint of relief.
"The disciple didn't say anything, just told him that the disciple would never betray the master"
"Hahahaha! You are worthy of being my Tianyisanren's apprentice, you are doing a good job" Tianyisanren laughed heartily.
Hearing the laughter of Tianyisan, Haoyan was also much more down-to-earth, and then Tianyisanren continued to speak: "I came to you this time, in fact, there is a task entrusted to you, as for Yan Tianhong's matter, I just asked casually."
The latter sentence, Haoyan directly ignored it, and asked, "Master, what is the task?"
Tianyisanren said with a serious face at this moment: "Twenty miles below our Guiyimen Mountain, there is a village called Lingxi Village, but now the whole village has become a ghost village, originally I and a few of your uncles were going to go to see it, but we have other things, so this time I will leave it to a few of you newly advanced foundation building disciples to investigate."
When Haoyan heard this, he immediately said: "The disciple received the order, but I don't know who the people who went this time"
"The same four of you went to the Land of Trials last time"
"And when are we leaving?"
Tianyi Sanren smiled: "Set off tomorrow, okay, you go back and prepare, but remember, don't take risks in person, leave immediately if there is danger, and pass the word to the teacher"
Haoyan nodded hurriedly and said, "Disciple understands"
"Okay, you go back and get ready, and you'll leave early tomorrow morning."
After Haoyan saluted the people of Tianyi, he left the Cloud Pavilion.
Back in the cave, Haoyan actually didn't have any preparations, but he was just wondering how the Lingxi Village had become a ghost village.
After a sleepless night and no cultivation, until sunrise in the east, Haoyan left the cave and came to the meeting place where he had agreed to set off.
"Senior Sister Xin'er, you came so early"
"Senior Brother Haoyan is also quite early!"
"Hahaha! Zhou Qian, Senior Brother and Senior Brother Wu Bing haven't arrived yet?"
Li Xin'er nodded: "Yes, the two of them haven't arrived yet, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon."
Just as Li Xin'er's voice fell, Wu Bing came, and when he saw Hao Yan and Li Xin'er, Wu Bing hurriedly gave up his hand: "Senior Brother Haoyan, Senior Sister Xin'er, you arrived so early"
Before Haoyan could speak, Li Xin'er spoke first: "The first time I was on a mission, I was a little nervous, so I arrived early."
Not long after, Zhou Qianhe also arrived, greeted each other, and the four of them set off.
This time, the four of them took the flying magic weapon provided by the sect, the flying boat, the flying speed of the boat is extremely fast, dozens of miles away, only a pillar of incense to arrive.
Coming to the outside of Lingxi Village, Haoyan immediately felt a strong yin qi, but fortunately it was daytime, no matter how heavy the yin qi was, it couldn't make waves in the sun.
"It seems that there are really no living people here," Haoyan was the first to speak.
"Even if the head of the house asks us to come, we will understand the situation clearly according to the meaning of the head of the house, and then go back and report it" Zhou Qianhe also felt the yin qi, so he spoke.
Haoyan smiled: "Senior Brother Zhou is reasonable, let's hurry into the village to understand the situation!"
Then Hao Yan was responsible for collecting the flying boat, and first stepped into the village, and the other three also followed closely behind Hao Yan.
As soon as he entered the village, the yin qi was even stronger, and Haoyan said: "It seems that this place has really become a ghost village, at least now I can't even feel a little angry."
"That's true, I only sensed extremely strong yin qi," Li Xin'er said.
"This time we mainly know about the situation of the ghost, let's hurry up and take a look" Zhou Qianhe heard the words of Haoyan and Li Xin'er, and once again emphasized that this time the task was only to investigate.
"What kind of ghosts do you say the ghosts here, are they very powerful in cultivation?" Wu Binghu looked around suspiciously and said.
"Who knows, there is no way to confirm this in the daytime, and it is estimated that the specific situation will not be known until the evening" Haoyan glanced at Wu Bing and said.
"Senior Brother Haoyan, are we going to stay here until dark? The yin qi in this place is a little creepy" Li Xin'er followed behind Haoyan with fear.
"As it stands, we have to wait until the evening"
"In that case, we will wait in the village"
Haoyan looked at Li Xin'er, nodded, and then looked at Zhou Qianhe and Wu Bing: "Wait!"
The four of them found a place for hawkers to sell things in Lingxi Village, found tables and chairs, and sat down.
After waiting for a whole day, I finally waited for the night to fall, however, after nightfall, the entire Lingxi Village became more and more gloomy, and the original yin qi was like a fountain, quickly gushing out.
"I think the ghosts here should be coming out," Zhou Qianhe said.
Haoyan nodded: "It's time to come out, let's pay attention"
Just when the four of them began to observe the surrounding situation, they saw more than a dozen people suddenly popping out of the ground, and these dozen or so people had no physical existence at all, and they were completely ghostly bodies.
"Could it be that these are all ghosts, could it be that these ghosts used to be villagers of this Lingxi Village," Li Xin'er asked.
Haoyan nodded: "Very likely"
"Let's go out and see how many ghosts there are here, this is also the special explanation of the master," Zhou Qianhe said, staring at the dozen ghosts in front of him.
"I think the strength of these ghosts is equivalent to that of a monk in the Qi refining period," Wu Bing interjected.
Li Xin'er answered at this time: "I think so."
"Alright, let's hurry up and count the number of ghosts here!" Zhou Qianhe was a little impatient at this time.
Haoyan, Li Xin'er, and Wu Bing nodded their heads, and then the four of them began to count the number of ghosts in the village.
However, the four of them counted five or six times, but they were never able to count the total number of ghosts.
"Hey, this is really strange, how can you point back and go, but you can't order everything, it seems to be just that ghost, why is it always unclear when you count it?" Wu Bing said with doubts.
Zhou Qianhe also spoke at this moment: "It's really not clear, as if these ghosts are moving at any time."
When Li Xin'er heard Zhou Qianhe's words, she immediately said, "Could it be that we are caught in the formation?"
"There's no reason! We haven't encountered any special circumstances since we came in," Wu Bing looked at Li Xin'er and said.
Haoyan said at this time: "Actually, there is nothing impossible, even if it can't be pointed out, we might as well try to see if we have entered the formation, let's go back now."
Zhou Qianhe hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Haoyan is right, let's go back and try it."
After saying that, the four of them began to go in the direction they came in, but after nightfall, their sight was not very good, and the four of them walked for a pillar of incense, but they were still in the village.
"It looks like we've really entered the formation!"
"Senior Brother Haoyan, what should we do now?"
Haoyan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm not familiar with the formation all the way."
Wu Bing said at this time: "I know a little bit about the formation, let me see what is going on."
As soon as the words fell, Wu Bing began to check the surrounding situation, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see any clues.
"I can't see anything, everything is so natural, it's not like a formation at all" Wu Bing said helplessly.
Haoyan, Li Xin'er and Zhou Qianhe frowned at the same time, knowing that what people are most afraid of is the danger that they can't see.
"The four of us will stay on one side and wait until dawn to understand the situation, and now strengthen our vigilance" Haoyan made a decision.
"No, everything is done according to Senior Brother Haoyan's wishes, Senior Brother Haoyan's opinion is also the only thing we can do now," Zhou Qianhe also said with a helpless face.
The four of them had no choice but to wait, hoping that after dawn, everything would be solved.
The four of them were on one side, and they didn't know how long it took, Haoyan suddenly felt that the other three people around him had disappeared, and there were ghosts and ghosts behind them.
"Oh yes, what's going on?"
Haoyan was shocked, but the ghost didn't care whether Haoyan was surprised or not, and all rushed towards Haoyan, as if he was going to swallow Haoyan alive.
