Chapter 22: Haunted
The road with dead leaves was not cleaned, and there were ashes on both sides of the road, and some were even emitting green smoke that had not been completely extinguished.
Along the way, Lin Yan and Lianlu saw a depressed scene, many rooms were open, but there was no one in the house, and the rest were mostly just closed doors, looking at Lin Yan and the others through the cracks in the door.
Feeling the fear that pervaded the village, Lin Yan shook his head and sighed, "It seems that this village has been harmed a lot. ”
"yes, I don't know what kind of powerful ghost aura that strong ghost emanates?"
"Looks like this ghost is very strong. Lin Yan knew his strength, and he was afraid that he was not an opponent in the middle of the Qi Realm.
Lian Lu also saw Lin Yan's strength and reminded: "Although you are invincible with your strength, you are more than capable of self-preservation. ”
"But even so, is it possible that we really don't do anything?" Lin Yan was not an indifferent person, how could he stand idly by in the face of such persecution of the villagers.
Lin Yan's words aroused Lianlu's interest, and he looked at him and smiled: "You are quite similar to the little monk at this point, let's go, go and find the person in charge of this village first." ”
The person in charge of the village was an old man, bent over his waist with a cane, and his eyes were a little glazed, beckoning Lin Yan and Lianlu to sit down at the dilapidated wooden table.
"The room was shabby, and the two guests were neglected, cough...... cough ......," the old man coughed as he said this.
Pity Lu couldn't bear it, and with a flick of her middle finger, a green light flicked into the old man's throat.
Although the old man didn't see it, Lin Yan saw it clearly, and looked at her suspiciously, but Pian Lu smiled and didn't answer.
The old man muttered a few times in his throat, his voice became much clearer, and then said, "I wonder what the two of you are doing here?"
"Oh, my brother and I were passing through here for a night. Lian Lu said this, which made Lin Yan unhappy for a while, and she couldn't call her sister, she called herself brother.
"Spend the night!" The old man's hand trembled, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you should leave as soon as possible before it gets dark!"
"Oh, why?" Lin Yan was a little reluctant, out of the village to look at the barren mountains and mountains, could it be that he was camping outside tonight!
The old man's head kept swinging, and he explained: "It's not that I don't keep guests, it's that I really can't stay." ”
"Oh?" Lin Yan and Lian Lu glanced at each other, both guessing.
"What the hell is going on with the old man, you are so nervous. ”
Facing Lin Yan's question, the old man sighed and said in a sad tone: "...... in the village Haunted......"
Sure enough, Lin Yan and Lianlu's guess was correct.
"Half a month ago, there was a sudden gust of strange wind in the village, and the strange wind came suddenly, and the wind swept away several young and strong men in the village, frightening everyone, and several men came out to the city to find a few Taoist monks, but what we didn't expect was that those monks and Taoist priests were also gone......
The old man had already shed tears, and seeing the old man like this, Lin Yanxin couldn't bear it, and his eyes looked at Lianlu.
Lianlu smiled at him, and then asked, "Has a little monk been here in the last few days?"
"Little monk?" the old man thought carefully for a while, shook his head, and said, "There is no little monk, but there is one monk as big as him." ”
The old man pointed his finger at Lin Yan, Lin Yan was depressed for a while, but he thought that it was the "little monk" in Pianlu's mouth.
Sure enough, Lianlu asked urgently, "Where is the monk?"
"He, he was killed...... the old man pounded his chest hard, looking very sad.
Lin Yan's face also changed, and he looked at Lian Lu for fear that something would happen to her, but to Lin Yan's surprise, Lian Lu was still smiling.
"Are you alright?" Lin Yan wondered, not understanding what her situation was at this time.
"What can I do. He smiled, without a trace of sadness on his face, which made Lin Yan confused about the situation.
"Isn't that little monk killed, aren't you sad?"
"Who said he was killed?" said Lian Lu, shaking her head, looking at the old man and asking, "What the old man said means is that the monk has disappeared." ”
"Yes, he said that he was going to subdue the demon, but I couldn't persuade the old man, so I had to let him go, who knew that he would never return. ”
Lin Yan heard the clue and said, "You mean that the little monk still has a chance to live?"
"It's not that there's still a chance, it's certain!"
Lin Yan didn't know why Lianlu was so sure.
The old man looked at them suspiciously, not knowing what their relationship was with the little monk.
"Okay, Lin Yan, I think we should go. ”
"Where to go?"
"Save my little monk. ”
After Lin Yan reacted, he hurriedly followed, leaving the old man behind him shouting not to go.
Out of the village, looking at the night sky that was already full of stars, Lin Yan's eyes fell on Lianlu.
At this time, Lianlu was half-squatting on the ground, her right hand gently propped up on the ground, and she closed her eyes and didn't know what she was feeling.
"To the southwest, there is a mass grave, and this ghost lives there. ”
"Is it far?" Lin Yan cared about the distance.
Relu nodded, but then smiled again, "But it doesn't matter, as long as we get there before the time comes." ”
"Why is it before the time of the child?"
For Lin Yan's question, Lian Lu was slightly stunned, looked at him, and said suspiciously: "Are you really a cultivator?"
"What, isn't it like that?" Lin Yan clenched the sword in his hand and straightened up.
"Not like ......"
What he got was still a merciless blow from Pilu, but when he had time to defend himself in the future, he heard Pian Lu continue:
"Zishi is the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth is first born, and the yang energy at that time is the most harmful to the demonic things, and naturally the strength of this ghost is also the weakest at that time. ”
Lin Yan nodded to show that he understood, but Lianlu had already risen from the ground and flew to the southwest, Lin Yan naturally hurriedly followed, for fear of being left behind.
The white grave paper swayed in the gloomy wind, and the gray fog shrouded the entire mass grave in it, and the door of the coffin was mostly pried open, revealing the undecayed white bones inside, and the empty eyes looked at the night sky, and the hearts of the people palpitated.
A black dress was constantly fluttering back and forth, and from time to time it made that "whirring" sound, and the listeners trembled.
The grim face of the black-clothed ghost looked at the darkest corner, where the ground had long since turned a dark red, and red blood still flowed above the land, slowly seeping into the dirt.
There were skeletons everywhere, and on top of the bones, there was still blood that had not yet been cleaned, and flesh with blood on it.
And in this dirty land, there is a monk sitting firmly in it at this time, his eyes full of compassion.
"Monk, what's the situation?" the female ghost laughed wildly and asked the monk.
The monk raised his head, his handsome face, eyes full of pain, and fine white and tender flesh comparable to that of a woman, but he was a handsome monk.
"Donor, why do you want to kill like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to enter reincarnation?"
"Reincarnation, what's the use of me entering that reincarnation?" she smiled miserably, as if there was a mist of blood in her eyes that could not be dissolved.
"My husband and children have been killed one after another, but I haven't seen this thief God punish the thief in the slightest, what's the use of entering reincarnation, can't it be that my tragic husband and child can show the snow?"
The whimpering tone contained an indissoluble sadness, and her story was another knot that would be difficult to dissolve.
"Amitabha. ”
The monk shouted out the Buddha horn, and twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and recited the scriptures in place.
"Monk, what sutra are you reciting? The female ghost roared, ready to attack the monk.
"Death curse, for these people you killed, for your deceased husband and children. ”
The female ghost's open palm slowly softened after hearing his words: "Hmph, I'll stay with you for a moment." ”
Xu is words touched her heart, and her killing intent was much less for a while, looking at the departing back, the monk shook his head slightly, and concentrated on reciting the mantra of death.
The sound of the beads touching is not loud, but it crackles in this dark corner.
The female ghost stood in the darkness for a long time, with her back to the monk, who was seriously reciting the mantra of death.
Xu is the monk's mantra is useful, and the fog around the monk has dissipated, and it is much clearer than other places.
"Done?" asked the ghost.
"Yes. The monk nodded.
"Then let me send you on your way, don't worry, I owe you this love and I will give it back to you after you die. The female ghost's hand was raised again and aimed at the monk's head.
The monk did not answer, and remained in place.
"Yikes!"
The female ghost did not have the slightest softness, and her palm was aimed at the monk's heavenly spirit seal.
With a "jump" sound, the female ghost was knocked back several meters away by a Buddha light, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
"How, how could it be ......"
"Hmph, if you want to harm my monk, now you know the hardship!"
"Who?"
The female ghost turned back in fright, but saw two people slowly walking out of the fog, a man and a woman.
The woman was in front, dressed in green clothes that was extremely dazzling in the night, while the man behind her was much more ordinary, but the female ghost felt a breath on the man that almost suffocated her.
The female ghost's heart was already devastated, and the monk in front of her didn't figure out what was going on, and two people with extraordinary strength came out.
"Miss Pilu, why are you?" the little monk looked surprised when he saw Pian Lu.
Lianlu looked very unhappy when she heard his name, and said angrily: "Hey, little monk, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's not big or small, I don't know how to call my sister?"
Lin Yan, who was following behind him, couldn't help but smile, and he saw the black line on the monk's head clearly.
The little monk also hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Who is this benefactor?"
"Oh, he!" Lian Lu pointed to Lin Yan behind him and said, "This is the little brother I just received, Lin Yan." ”
Young, little brother, Lin Yan, who was laughing behind him, was stunned for a moment, looking at Pian Lu, his face full of disbelief.
"Oh, it's Lord Lin, the poor monk is real and disrespectful. ”
"Disrespectful, disrespectful......" Lin Yan hadn't reacted from Lianlu's words yet.
The female ghost had already wanted to flee when she saw that everyone was talking, and now she was injured by the Buddha's light, and the two people who came here couldn't figure it out.
"Hey, you're in such a hurry to escape, do I agree?"
As soon as the female ghost's body moved, she felt a burst of pressure, and the source of this pressure was the woman who was laughing earlier.
"What do you want to do?" The female ghost's temper is naturally not good.
"Don't do anything, just let you know what retribution is!"
"Hmph, do you have that ability?"
"If you don't try, how do you know!"
A war between women is clearly about to break out!
