The wind is cold, and the snow is falling. The mountains are white, and the rivers are frozen.

seems to confirm Yuan Tiangang's sentence "The demon star is in the world, and the natural disaster is coming", this year's Tang Dynasty, not only did ghosts and monsters make trouble everywhere, but even the harsh winter was much longer.

On the official road in the west of Hongzhou City, a white horse hesitated forward.

On the back of a strong horse is a young knight with a sword. His body is heroic, his eyebrows are bright, and he knows that he is a great hand at a glance.

The fine pieces of snow stuck to his body, but he didn't care, and lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

This person is the swordsman who went to the Ghost Gate Pass to pay homage to the King of Hades on the order of the King of Tang, why worry.

It has been more than half a month since he left Chang'an, but the distance he has traveled is not very far.

In recent days, more and more ghosts have been seen along the way. Everyone is in danger, and every family is closed.

To deal with the bandits, the state and county governments are enough to deal with it. But in the face of evil ghosts, ordinary martial artists are of no use at all, and once they meet them, they will also lose their lives in vain.

He Chou has compassion and can't bear this situation, so that everywhere he goes, he will take action to kill ghosts.

As a result, the trip was delayed a lot.

"The emperor and his teacher in Beijing are waiting for my good news, but I have wasted time to save the people, I really don't know whether this good thought is right or wrong. ”

He chou sighed faintly.

"Well, since the one who is responsible for the calamity is a ghost, he should be sent by the Yama ghost to collect it. I should just go to the underworld and convey this to Hades. ”

Thinking of this, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and the white horse began to trot.

The horse's hooves stamped and galloped away. The brown cloak fluttering on the swordsman's back was like a big flag, flying against the cold wind.

In the blink of an eye, the fine snow hid the traces of the white horse.

The official road is far away, and there are four empty realms, only wind and snow.

※※※※※

The sunset is slanting, why stop the horses' hooves.

This is a village not far from the official road. The garden is thriving, the houses are scattered, although it is not rich, it is not too poor.

At this time, the weather is cold and windy, and every household closes its doors and windows, and the cooking smoke from the chimney is blown into wisps of diagonal lines by the cold wind, drifting away in the dusk night.

There was a gurgling sound in the belly.

He Chou tied the white horse under a nearby cowshed, took the burden and the long sword, and walked to a house where the smoke was smoking.

Knock knock

"Who?"

An old male voice came from the room.

"Late life is a passing passerby, at this time it is late, and there is nowhere to stay in the wind and snow. I wonder if I can spend the night here?" He Chou said humbly.

There was silence for a while, and only after a while did an old woman reply: "Young man, our village is haunted, and many people have died. You might as well spend the night somewhere else. ”

Haunted again!

He Chou, who was originally calm, suddenly became angry in his heart.

He tightened the long sword in his hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied: "Old man, I happen to know some spells to subdue demons and catch ghosts, maybe I can solve this ghost dilemma for the village." ”

"Oh, don't be pushy. We invited two Taoist priests, but they were killed by the evil spirit. If you are really passing by, go quickly, and go to the west of the official road for ten miles, where the village is not haunted and lives in peace. The old man persuaded bitterly.

"Uncle, being born later is not about ability, but about ability. If you don't believe it, you will see it when the evil spirit comes. ”

"This ......"

The second elder in the room hesitated for a while.

"Alas, if you love to stay, stay, if you are harmed by that evil spirit, don't blame us for not reminding you. ”

Squeak~

The wooden door was pulled open from the inside.

............

Outside the house, the wind and snow continued.

He Chou ate a bowl of hot porridge and asked the two old men about the haunting of this place.

From the mouth of the second elder, he learned that this Xingping Village has been haunted for more than a month, and as many as 11 young people have been killed in the village. Even the only son of the two old men was sucked dry of yang energy by the evil ghost and died.

He was killed by evil spirits and died a terrible death. He Chou has seen it several times along the way. The two old men were sad when they lost their children, and when they mentioned it again, they couldn't help but shed tears.

"If the ghost plague is not eliminated, Datang will never have peace!" He Chou was indignant in his heart, and he couldn't wait to fly to the underworld immediately to point at the nose of the king of Hades and scold him.

At nightfall, only the sound of wind and snow can be found outside. Every household in Xingping Village closed their doors and windows, especially those with young and middle-aged men in the house, who were even more worried and did not dare to sleep peacefully.

He Chou wiped the Qingshuang Sword given by the master, and his ears were extremely focused, and once there was an abnormal sound, he would find it as soon as possible.

According to the old man, the evil spirits come every three or two days to maim the neighbors, and now they have not been here for three days, and they are expected to appear tonight.

Sure enough, after He Chou waited quietly for nearly an hour, there was a sharp ghost roar in the north of the village, followed by the screams of young men and women.

"Ahh

The old man was suddenly startled and looked at He Chou.

At this time, there was still a figure at the table, his speed was as fast as thunder, and he had already left the house when the ghost roared out.

Baizhang Road passed in the blink of an eye, and He Chou identified a house, and broke into the door with a sword.

"Ahh

The young man hid in fear, but the house was so big, how could he hide from the fangs of the evil spirits?

After He Chou entered the house, he saw the man shrinking under the bed, trembling and exclaiming. The woman on the bed was even more unbearable, and she had fainted with fright.

In front of the bed, an eerie cloud floated, emitting a disgusting chatter.

He Chou was angry from his heart, and the Qingshuang Sword slashed through a long rainbow, and instantly slashed the evil ghost with Haoran righteousness.

From the time he entered the house to the time he drew his sword, it was only a matter of breathing, and before the demon could react, he struck him with a piercing hiss.

The ghostly aura dissipated somewhat. It turned its blue-faced fanged grimace, and after seeing the vast masculinity and righteousness on He Chou's body, it turned around and fled without hesitation.

The ghostly aura disappeared into the house directly through the wooden window panels.

He Chou saw that the sword did not directly destroy the ghost, and he thought that it had swallowed too much yang energy, which was a little stronger than the ghost he had encountered before.

He lifted the frightened man from under the bed and said, "Don't be alarmed, the evil spirit has been wounded by me. You boil some ginger soup yourself to suppress the shock, and I'll go and catch the ghost." ”

Regardless of the man's reaction, he hurried out of the house.

The demon was slashed by him, and the yin qi could not help but drift away as he fled.

Following the ghostly qi, He Chou walked like a fly, and in a blink of an eye, he left the village and chased towards the mountains to the north.

Although the speed of the ghost is not slow, why worry faster. In just a few teas, he had already seen the frightened and fleeing ghosts in the distance.

Although the mountain road is rugged, the young man is like walking on the ground. Seeing that the ghost was already approaching, He Chou immediately made a move of "Pegasus crossing the stream" and stopped in front of it.

The demon screamed and pounced on him with its fangs bared, as if it were fighting for its life.

He secretly said, "It's just right", and the Qingshuang Sword was raised obliquely, and he was upright.

Unexpectedly, the demon pounced halfway, but halfway through the turn, and fled to the left.

He Chou retracted his sword, and the evil ghost had already escaped several feet away.

"What a cunning imp, much more powerful than the last time I met him. ”

He groaned, and picked up his steps to chase the ghost again.

Ordinary people are afraid of ghosts, even ordinary warriors. But as an apprentice of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, he has unique skills, and his heroic righteousness is the best weapon to deal with ghosts. Therefore, the ghosts are afraid of him.

After a while, he caught up with the ghost again, and was about to slash it by his sword, but saw the ghost hastened and fled into a cave.

"Well, there's still a nest!"

In addition to being surprised, He Chou was even more happy.

If there are other ghosts in this lair, they can be caught in one go!

It is the ghost cave mansion that is bold and feared by ordinary people, but it is nothing to fear for him.

It was dark in the cave, and I couldn't see my fingers.

He Chou lit a fire fold, and his pace slowed down a lot.

In the cave, there was a strange smell.

The ghost has long since disappeared, but He Chou is getting more and more frightened.

I don't know how deep this cave is, and the more you go inside, the more spacious it becomes.

After going deep for nearly a hundred feet, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed and turned into a huge karst cave.

A few stalactites were scattered in the cave, like the fangs of a beast.

He Chou looked around and found three new openings in the cave, and he didn't know where they led.

There was a strange smell in this cave, and when I arrived here, there was a strange smell. Under the impact of this aura, the ghost's yin qi had been dispersed, making it impossible for him to pursue it at all.

"Hateful ......"

He chou gritted his teeth and sighed.

The ghost did not know which hole he had fled into, and if he had chased it in from one side and it had fled from the other, wouldn't it have been a failure!

Thinking of this, he simply put his heart sideways and stayed where he was.

Anyway, no matter how many evil spirits there are here, if you want to enter or leave, you must pass through him.

The fire fold can't be lit for too long, so why worry about the five senses, since there is no need to find a way, simply put out the fire.

He leaned quietly against the wall with his sword in his hand, the boundless darkness not bringing him fear.

He waited quietly, and he didn't know how long it had passed.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise at the entrance of a cave.

He Chou's ears were pricked up, and his right hand held the hilt of the sword.

The sound was like footsteps, but it was much softer.

The voice was getting closer and closer, He Chou frowned, and the Qingshuang Sword was instantly unsheathed!

The sword streaked a cyan trail through the darkness.

He Chou's body brushed the edge of the stalactite, and the tip of the sword stabbed at the perceived target.

"Yikes!"

An exclamation sounded from the darkness, sounding like a young woman.

He Chou felt that the tip of the sword was deflected a lot by a force, but he still cut something.

"It hurts!" the female voice screamed miserably, and said angrily: "Despicable villain, you actually took advantage of my unpreparedness to make a sneak attack!"
