Chapter Forty-Seven: The Mysterious Taoist

The town of Porcelain Corridor ushered in a catastrophe.

In the evening, a group of men dressed in black suddenly emerged from the Keyuan Mountain, and at first they just rushed into the town to bite the livestock, and after eating them alive, they were still not satisfied, and began to attack the residents of the town. The first group of townspeople who were attacked and killed by the men in black were all bitten on the neck and sucked dry blood and died, and a quarter of an hour later, these townspeople who had been bitten to death woke up, but they bit people when they saw them, and they were irrational, and thousands of villages and towns were slaughtered in less than half an hour by these black-clothed men who drank blood and turned into zombies.

By the time Qiu Jin rode his old horse to the village, the smell of blood in the town made Qiu Jin's brow furrow, and bursts of white cloth and yellow paper were scattered all over the town, as well as the sound of crows flying over and chirping.

"It's so weird! It's so thick with dead air, could it be that Shang Shen came here before me and slaughtered the townspeople to absorb the dead air?"

Qiu Jin then rejected this idea, the town was surrounded by miasma, surrounded by yin qi, Shang Shen, as a cultivator of the puppet path of the Jindan period, it was impossible for him to absorb the death qi with such an inferior exercise, and besides, what Shang Shen needed most now was the replenishment of the power of transformation, not the blood and death qi of mortals in the yang world.

"Could it be that the ghost thing that came up from the underworld again? Near the opening of the Hundred War Domain, the ghost thing in the north is becoming more and more restless, forcing the Shennong clan to send people to clean it up. ”

"It's a pity that ghosts are still rampant in some places in the north today. The powerful ghost creature did not dare to show up, so he sent a large number of ghost creatures that had not yet opened their minds to collect dead qi for themselves as nourishment. ”

After dismounting, Qiu Jin led the old horse and slowly walked into the village and town.

It was already dark, the moonlight was sprinkled on the silent and uninhabited villages and towns, and the white cloth and yellow paper scattered in the wind were scattered at Qiu Jin's feet.

Qiu Jin's right hand secretly gathered vitality, and the information given to him by the shadow guard and the sticky pole was that Tuoba Hongji and Lu Yuan came to this town near evening, and when they arrived, the town seemed to have no one left, and it was full of dead bodies of women, children, old and children, and the death was extremely tragic.

"Strangely, I haven't seen the body of an adult man until now. Qiu Jin speculated over and over again in his mind about the scene that appeared in the evening in Porcelain Town, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, the death of the villagers in the town was not a coincidence at all, but someone did it on purpose.

"The sky above this town is gloomy, only the Heavenly Evil Star appears and disappears from time to time, and the death qi of the whole town gathers in the mountains to the south, could it be that this town has been arranged with a formation that specializes in absorbing death qi?" Qiu Jin clenched his fists, such a vicious formation, Qiu Jin had seen it for the first time.

Use the whole town as a formation medicine, kill all men, women, and children, and then extract the resentment left over from the dead before their deaths. The people who set up the formation were vicious, which made Qiu Jin, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and often dealing with dead people, feel a chill in his back.

Qiu Jin simply checked more than a dozen households, and all of them were like this. There was not a single adult man's body, only women, children, and the elderly who had died.

Qiu Jin thought for a moment and decided to set off first towards the mountain where the dead qi gathered, and be sure to eradicate the ghosts that set up this evil formation.

Besides, Tuoba Hong and the three of them arrived here in the evening, and when they came when they came, they did not see any trace of the three of them, and this town had become a purgatory on earth, and the two things must be related.

Just as Qiu Jin turned to leave, he suddenly saw an elderly Taoist priest sitting on a bluestone in the distance, skinny and weak, and he was also looking at Qiu Jin at the moment.

"Someone! I didn't notice his breath at all. Qiu Jin was shocked: "Is it deliberately waiting for himself?"

At this moment, the porcelain corridor town is full of blood, like a purgatory on earth.

The Taoist priest of unknown origin in front of him was sitting alone on the bluestone, and his body exuded fluctuations that made Qiu Jin very jealous.

Qiu Jin took a few steps forward, came to the suspicious Taoist priest, and decided to find out.

By the light of the Tiansha star, Qiu Jin saw two linen tricks obliquely inserted next to the Taoist priest, from top to bottom, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing with two lines of big characters, "one sleeve breeze, two shoulders of the bright moon, fortune telling", "three flowers gather at the top, four ghosts summon spirits, give money".

The old man was dressed in a wide-sleeved Taoist robe that was popular in the north more than a hundred years ago, holding a almost bald dust, with a handful of goatee, sitting on a piece of bluestone, looking at Qiu Jin with expectant eyes, and taking the lead in speaking.

"There is chaos in this place, and it is really fateful that the old Tao can meet the living. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to be dead in a while. Qiu Jin's eyes flashed coldly, although he couldn't conclude that the tragic death of the residents of the town was done by the Taoist priest in front of him, but when he met such a person at such a time, this Taoist priest was absolutely inseparable from this matter, which was extremely suspicious.

"My Taoist friends are full of vitality in their bodies, and they faintly have the image of building a foundation, and they are also regarded as people in our Taoist sect. I don't know why you came here late at night?" the old Taoist priest shook off the dust that had not left a few hairs in his hand and asked Qiu Jin.

"Looking for someone, but now it's going to be changed to killing!" Qiu Jin tried his best to watch this Taoist priest pretend to be a ghost, ready to blast this demon Dao into pulp with one punch.

"Daoyou is murderous. I also just rushed to this place, and I saw that the residents of the town were dying miserably, and I really couldn't bear it, so I sprinkled some white cloth and yellow paper to appease the grievances. It's a pity that I'm not a Buddhist, so I can't live for these resentful ghosts, so I can only sit here to prevent the corpse from happening and spreading to the surrounding villages and towns. ”

"Who is Your Excellency?" Qiu Jin asked directly.

"Lao Dao Ling is a guest in Zhongnan Mountain, Zhong Zhengnan. ”

Qiu Jin was slightly stunned, as if he had seen this name somewhere.

"The Taoist chief said that he didn't do this himself, so who did it?"

"Looking at the yin qi gathered in the south of Keyuan Mountain here, it is mostly the underground yin to make a strange come. ”

"Why is the town full of corpses of women, children, old and children, and no adult men?"

"Daoist friends ask this question, but they want to collect money. The old Taoist priest Zhong Zhengnan lightly twisted his goatee with his fingers, pointed to the big characters on the soul primer beside him and said.

"Yellow and white?"

Qiu Jin really couldn't understand that this old Taoist priest was collecting money for fortune telling in this village full of dead people in the middle of the night?

"No, no, no. ”

"What did the Dao Chief take a fancy to Qiu Jin?"

"Yes, the dragon horse in the general's hand. The old Taoist priest said with a little excitement.

Qiu Jin was suddenly shocked and blasted towards the Taoist priest with a punch.

Just a punch into the air, Qiu Jin's fist actually penetrated the old way, blasting the bluestone under his seat into slag.

The old Taoist priest was still sitting in mid-air, unaffected by Qiu Jin's attack.

"Don't panic, general, I just saw that the dragon horse was able to follow the general by himself after the general released the reins of the horse, so I guessed that the general was a member of the army. ”

"Yuan Shen?" Qiu Jin, who was punched in the air, asked the old Taoist: "The concentrating period?

Ignoring my fist attack, could it be that the Yuan Shen is out of the body? No, I have seen the Yuan Shen condensed by the lonely arrow old man in the Condensation Period, although he has only just broken through to the Condensation Period, but the Yuan Qi fluctuations on his Yuan Shen are so oppressive that he can't even breathe.

The soul body in front of him couldn't see the slightest fluctuation of vitality. Could it be that he has already reached the realm of returning to the void? Looking at this polite goatee old man, Qiu Jin was beaten to death and did not want to believe that he had returned to the realm of emptiness.

"Don't hide it from the general, it's not a contemplation period, the old Taoist is born with the technique of soul and body separation. ”

"It turned out to be a stranger. Qiu Jin was immediately relieved, if he met a strong person in the Concentrating Period or even a strong person in the Returning Void Period who was neither friend nor enemy here, then he really wouldn't be able to kill the other party with one move with a hundred lives.

The body that he has can barely be counted as an alien, and he knows that every alien may contain a great opportunity, so he didn't bother with this question.

"Why do you fancy my dragon foal?"

"When Lao Dao was young, he often hoped to be able to roam the rivers and lakes with fresh clothes and angry horses, and today I saw the general Shenjun, and I really liked it, so I dared to speak. The old Taoist priest said embarrassedly.

"This dragon horse has been with me for nearly ten years, and I really can't bear to give it away, can the Taoist take something else. ”

"If Lao Dao expected it to be good, this dragon horse has been dead for a long time, and someone used a secret method to revive it, which is against the mandate of heaven. I just secretly pinched a few fingers, and if the general continues to lead the horse forward, I am afraid that people will die in danger. ”

The old horse seemed to understand the old Taoist priest's words and neighed.

The old Taoist priest Zhong Zhengnan continued: "If the general only gives this dragon horse to Lao Dao, Lao Dao can trace the person you are looking for. How?"

Qiu Jin was still unmoved, shook his head and said, "No, this horse has been with me for a long time." Can the Dao Chief wait in Jiangcheng tomorrow morning for half an hour, I will send someone to give the Dao Chief a Yun Jiaojia and other horses. ”

The old Taoist priest sighed and said: "I am too old to ride such a horse, but I just calculated that this horse will die tomorrow in the hands of the general, and I really can't bear it, so I asked the general for this horse again and again, so as to delay the horse's life a little." ”

"Is this true?" Qiu Jin asked as he looked at the Yuan Shen of the mysterious Daoist in front of him.

"It's true!" The old Taoist priest looked directly at Qiu Jin, with a clear conscience, and could not see the slightest trace of lying.

Qiu Jin touched the old horse's neck and said apologetically: "Old man, I'm sorry, I can't continue with you." Then he turned to Zhong Zhengnan and said, "Dao Chief, take it, be sure to treat this horse well!"

The old Taoist priest nodded: "It should be so." ”

Then he explained to Qiu Jin: "This town is under the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evil Array, which can absorb the grievances of the dead and nourish itself. There should be as many as ten villages and towns slaughtered like this, Keyuan Mountain is just the first hub where the dead qi gathers, and the old way guesses that the final gathering place of the dead qi is Ziyang Mountain in the Black Wind Mountains!"

"Ziyang Mountain!" Qiu Jin's eyes flashed, could it be that the guy from Ziyang Dao did this bad karma? Recruiting himself as the deputy sect leader was also to use his own hands to collect death qi in the Jin Kingdom?

It's really hateful! It's really a thousand cuts!

Lao Dao also calculated that one of the three people the general was looking for was taken away by the demon Dao on Ziyang Mountain. Another person who was seriously injured in the body had been infected into a zombie by the death qi in the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evil. There was also a man with a sword, who was on Keyuan Mountain at this time. ”

After hearing this, Qiu Jin knew in his heart that Tuoba Hong should have been captured by Ziyang Zhenren, and Ji was killed and turned into a zombie, and Lu Yuan was now on Keyuan Mountain in the south.

After Qiu Jin knew where the three of them were going, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and after talking a few words to the old Taoist priest Zhong Zhengnan, he turned around and rushed to Keyuan Mountain.

The old Taoist priest's body touched Qiu Jin's old man for him, and muttered to himself: "Heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountains, and Ze have all been gathered, and whether or not you can get out of the Hundred Battles Domain this time is here." ”

After Qiu Jin, who had not gone far, heard this, his tiger body was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen it in a history book, a hundred years ago, that is, when the last time the Hundred Battles Domain was opened, all the disciples of an upper sect were slaughtered by a netherworld force, and the sect master of the upper sect with the strength of Vientiane, surnamed Zhong, was named Zhengnan.

When Qiu Jin suddenly turned around and looked at the place where Zhong Zhengnan was sitting, the old Taoist priest and the old horse had disappeared out of thin air and had disappeared.
