At this time, night had just arrived, the sky was dark, and the lights in the world had already been turned on.
Gan Ting shouted angrily: "Chase! Go and bring him back to me!"
The Qilin Guards dispersed to various places in Pingyao City, searching for Gan Mao's whereabouts.
Dongdao Tianji and Nanshan Xuehe also dispersed to look for people.
Yu Xiu said: "This is a serious matter, I will tell Master Wen first."
"I'll go find someone." Chu Yi said and disappeared in an instant.
All the Tianji disciples guarding the palace withdrew.
The road that was crowded with people before suddenly became empty. Lingluo asked Yue Liangze: "Can you find someone based on the Wusheng evil spirit?"
Yue Liangze frowned for a moment, "No, the Death Mist Gate has cut off the aura, and we won't be able to find it in a short time."
That's fine.
You can't find it.
I can.
Lingluo turned around and said, "I'm going to look for someone too."
She knew what the White Bone Demon wanted to do with the Immortal Jade.
Lingluo had a clear goal and went straight out of the city.
Outside Pingyao City, Shunyi River.
Ling Luo flew across the river on her sword and landed again. She looked back at the direction of the river water. Behind Shunyi River was Shunyi Town, which was prosperous in the past, but now all the people were dead, and there were resentful spirits everywhere. It was a famous ghost town with evil spirits everywhere.
Because there were so many wronged souls, Nanshan Xuehe left a magic circle in Shunyi, which could only suppress them but not expel them.
People walking on mountain roads will consciously avoid that area. If they mistakenly enter it, no matter if they are cultivators or ordinary people, most of them will never return.
Lingluo walked to the river, bent down, scooped up some water with her hands, and then poured it back out.
After repeating this several times, she took a bamboo tube to fetch water and turned to head towards Shunyi Town.
As soon as they entered the forest, they could see the whole mountain covered with fog. Lingluo poured the Shunyi River water from the bamboo tube into her hands and used her spiritual power to control the water to form a circle of barrier so that the people on the whole mountain did not dare to approach.
Ordinary people don't even need to enter Shunyi Town. If they are swallowed by the fog in the surrounding forests, they will be doomed.
There is a person buried underground in Shunyi Town.
Lingluo wants to go and take a look.
When she came to Pingyao City in her previous life, the disaster caused by the White Bone Demon had already been settled, and she had no chance to get involved.
The time is right now.
For this person, the Bone Demon went to great lengths to steal the Immortal Jade and even disrupted the Beiting Moon Palace. Ling Luo ignored his obsession because it didn't matter to her now.
She passed through the fog in the forest and vaguely saw the gloomy town at the foot of the mountain. The full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the silver light it cast made the mottled buildings look even more desolate and deserted.
Lingluo was walking down the mountain. Just as she entered the town, she heard a female voice hesitantly ask, "Lingluo?"
This voice sounds familiar.
Lingluo was stunned. She looked in the direction of the sound. The window of the house on the left was pushed open from the inside. With a creaking sound, a somewhat dishevelled head popped out from inside: "Lingluo!"
This voice was filled with the excitement of reunion.
Qin Yuan?
Lingluo was stunned.
"Linglong! Come in first!" Qin Yuan waved at her. There was a gust of cold wind on the street.
When the woman at the window looked over, the emerald green teardrops on her ears shone beautifully in the moonlight.
Ling Luo recognized the man's face at a glance, but still felt it was incredible.
Why is Qin Yuan here?
The sound of the wind was wailing like ghosts and wolves howling. The dilapidated houses on both sides of the street creaked. There were whispers in Lingluo's ears, and all kinds of sounds from the world came one after another.
In the darkness, pairs of red eyes were patrolling the streets with malicious intent.
“Come in quickly!” Qin Yuan walked around the door and pulled Ling Luo into the house. “Don’t let them see you, or you’ll fall into the evil ghost’s den and won’t be able to get out.”
Lingluo looked at the person in front of her in the moonlight. He must have been in a fight. There were bloodstains on his clothes. He looked a little disheveled, and his sword was not at hand.
"Why are you here?" Lingluo asked calmly.
Since she entered the inner sect, she and Qin Yuan have not been together as often as they were in the outer sect. It was fine at the beginning, but after she learned the sect's mental skills in a short period of time and stopped going to the study hall, she gradually distanced herself from her.
Direct disciples are different after all.
But Qin Yuan would always greet her during every festival, and they would have dinner together if they could meet. However, as they each spent a long time away from home for training in the past two years, they met less often.
At least this is the first time we meet this year.
"Aren't you here in Shunyi to remove the fog barrier?"
Qin Yuan was a little confused by her question.
Ling Luo: “No.”
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the closed door was broken open. A huge black fog poured in, with countless red eyes in it, full of evil aura.
The whispers on the street appeared again, the strange laughter, anger, and crying all mixed together to make people's ears hurt.
Ling Luo drew her sword and stood in front of her. Qin Yuan's expression became tense and she whispered, "This evil creature is very strange and its evil spirit is too strong. It has been chasing me since I fell into this town!"
"What are you doing here?" Ling Luo asked while holding a sword to stop the black fog rushing over.
The black fog was cut open and split into two halves. Countless red eyeballs were wrapped in the black fog, blinking, and each pair was full of malice.
The black fog split into seven or eight groups, and one part chased Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan dodged and answered her: "Didn't I enter the secular world this year? I heard that there was a ghost town near Pingyao City, so I planned to take a look. On the way, I met a villager asking for help. He said that his son had been in the forest for three days and had not returned. He was afraid that he had met some evil spirit, so I thought of going into the mountains to save him--"
She rolled on the ground to avoid the attack from two balls of black mist, but unfortunately she bumped into a pillar and cried out, covering her forehead.
Ling Luo formed a sword array with her backhand and landed on her. The spiritual power transformed into a lightsaber to help her block the black fog. Qin Yuan covered her forehead with her hands and said tearfully, "There is fog in the mountains. I brought a spiritual weapon to dispel the fog, but it was useless. The forest was getting darker and darker. No spells could help. I accidentally slipped and rolled down the hillside. When I woke up, I was already in the town."
"This is the evil ghost town! As soon as I woke up, I was chased everywhere by these evil spirits. They even swallowed my sword. I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to see you just now... Lingluo, you didn't fall in from the mountain too, did you?"
"No." Lingluo said, "I walked in."
Qin Yuan: “…”
Ling Luo focused her attention on the black mist in front of her. It was powerful and full of murderous aura. Even the Shenwu long sleeves would show signs of corrosion if they were stained by a little bit of black mist.
Qin Yuan stood up, holding onto the pillars in the house, and asked worriedly, "Can we get out?"
Of course I can, but I don’t want to for now.
Lingluo threw the Yingxi around her waist to Qinyuan.
"Hey? What are you doing for me, Yingxi?" Qin Yuan asked Yingxi in confusion.
The cherry blossoms have been unfolded, and the blood-colored fan has faded to reveal a picture of a cherry forest.
"Yingxi will protect you and show you the way out. You go first." Lingluo gave her a bamboo tube filled with river water. "The fog can only be dispelled by the water from Shunyi River. You won't get lost if you hold it."
Qin Yuan opened her eyes wide and said anxiously, "Wait! You want me to go alone? How can I leave you here and go alone?"
Ling Luo paid attention to the movement of the black fog and raised her sword to stop it: "Don't worry about me, you have lost your sword and your cultivation is not enough. It's best to leave first to save your life."
Qin Yuan immediately became a little timid when she heard this. She knew the gap between herself and Lingluo. She held Yingxi and said weakly, "But Lingluo... I, I'm scared to walk alone."
Ling Luo: “…”
"What are you afraid of? We have Yingxi!" she said unhappily.
Qin Yuan: "Ying Xi is not a human!"
Ling Luo was about to speak when the scattered black fog suddenly gathered into a ball so huge that it almost filled the entire space. She retreated in front of Qin Yuan, and the black fog opened its huge mouth and rushed over to swallow the two of them.
"Now that you're here, don't leave. Come stay together!"
"Hahaha, all of you, die! Die!"
"Isn't this what you want? Why are you pretending?"
"Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy! Extremely hypocritical!"
The words spoken by different voices mixed together, a strong fierce wind blew, and the house was creaking everywhere. Qin Yuan held Yingxi to resist, and Ling Luo held a long-sleeved sword in her hand, and the sword light burst out, resisting the black fog.
The evil spirit in Shunyi Town is so strong that even the Nanshan Snow River cannot completely transform it and can only suppress it. It can be seen that its strength is very strong and cannot be compared with that of ordinary ghost towns.
Ling Luo looked at the red eyes in the black mist and raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not disappointed. This place was indeed difficult to deal with.
The black fog encountered resistance and became stronger. The house, which was trembling as thousands of ghosts howled, could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Lingluo grabbed Qin Yuan and instantly flashed out of the house, and used the Wind Riding Spell to go up into the void. However, the black fog was also tenacious and kept chasing the two of them.
Qin Yuan handed Yingxi to Lingluo: "You are better than me! You go first! I will help you hold it back!"
Ling Luo didn't look at it, she made hand gestures, and said as the black fog rushed over: "Heavenly Stems, Ninety-eight, Fire Phoenix is coming."
Seven golden phoenixes descended from the void, chirping and spreading their wings above the two people. Their long golden wings and trailing tail feathers sprinkled golden flames. They cooperated tacitly, powerfully surrounded the black fog, and ignited a raging fire.
The golden flames entangled with the black fog, the cold and hot auras collided, sparks exploded, and it seemed as if golden fireworks exploded in the sky.
Qin Yuan was stunned by the grand scene before her.
So awesome.
Such large-scale spells can be cast directly without chanting the spell.
She studied for several years but couldn't even memorize the spell.
The black fog was stopped, Lingluo pulled Qinyuan and turned around: "Let's go."
But he stopped after taking only two steps. In the center of the town, a golden sword beam shot up into the sky and swept across the entire town. There was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and the entire ground was shaking.
Ling Luo couldn't help but raise her hand to block out the blinding light.
Too late.
The Bone Demon has already taken action.
“Lingluo!” Qin Yuan covered her eyes with one hand, “What happened? Whose sword power is this? It’s too strong, I dare not even look at it!”
The golden light enveloped Shunyi Town, and after the aurora turbulence, the world was turned upside down.
The world with dark clouds and moonlight hanging high in the sky has been turned over. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the dilapidated and deserted houses and streets have regained their former prosperity.
The two listened to the noise around them and slowly lowered their hands that were covering their eyes.
"Brother Shu, your mother wants you to go home for dinner!"
"Wasn't it the day to collect wages yesterday? How come you didn't bring back a single cent? Did you hide it?"
"Mother, I don't want to go to school! I don't want to go!"
"Tell your father!"
"Is Tailor Song home? I've brought you more clothes!"
“…”
Qin Yuan saw that in the bright daylight, the house that had just collapsed was now intact. In front of the window there was a row of flower pots, with unknown small white flowers blooming in the warm sunshine.
The mother walked past the girl holding her hand, and Qin Yuan could still smell the scent of sesame cakes on both of them.
The streets that were previously gloomy and empty, with only evil spirits running around, have now regained their vitality.
Qin Yuan was so frightened that she clung to Ling Luo, tightly grasping Ying Xi in her hand, and asked in a low voice, "What, what's going on?"
"Have we fallen into some kind of fantasy?"
"Almost." Lingluo looked towards the highest point in the center of the town. "Someone has moved the restrictions in Shunyi Town, triggering the protection mechanism, causing the town to return to its previous time, and trying to hide the center of the restriction."
Qin Yuan was stunned: "Are there any other people here besides the two of us?!"
Lingluo walked towards the town.
Qin Yuan hurried to follow.
Lingluo said, "You can just stay over there, you don't have to follow me."
Qin Yuan shook her head repeatedly: "No, I'm scared there alone, very scared."
But the further you go inside, the more dangerous it becomes.
Lingluo thought about it and finally didn't stop her, allowing her to follow.
It was noon now, and there were many people on the street. Some were going home, some were going to shops and inns. Children who had come out to buy things at the request of their adults were running down the street.
"Lingluo, where are we going?" Qin Yuan said as she looked around curiously, "This looks very similar to the illusion in the Heaven-Swallowing Tower."
Immersive reality.
"I want to go to the Zhao family." Ling Luo raised her hand and pointed at the tallest building in the center of the town. "He has a life tower at home, which can be used to operate formations."
As he turned a corner, he saw the gate of the Zhao family.
Qin Yuan looked hesitant and said, "Lingluo, don't go."
"Why not go?" Lingluo kept walking.
"I have a bad feeling. In any case, you must not go. I will go for you. Tell me what you are looking for and I will go in and help you find it. You must not go in." Qin Yuan looked up at her.
Lingluo didn't take it seriously, thinking she was afraid of the Bone Demon, but she wasn't.
There was no one guarding the gate of the Zhao family's house. There were two large crabapple trees planted on both sides, and the branches were now full of pink and white flowers.
Ling Luo stepped into the room and said, "If you're scared, just wait outside. I—"
The golden sword pierced through her heart at a speed she couldn't perceive, pinning her to the door.
Pain spread throughout her body. Ling Luo couldn't help but frown, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes widened slightly.
She slowly reached out to cover her chest, her hands stained with glaring blood.
The sword was pulled out mercilessly, Lingluo groaned, and fell against the tree.
A faint sigh came from behind. Qin Yuan walked forward slowly and said softly, "Didn't I tell you not to go?"
Her long black eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lingluo looked up at her.
Qin Yuan squatted down beside her, reached out and gently touched her cheek: "Even if she is dead, the sword will left in the world can still kill all the demons in the world. You are different from before. You are reborn again. Even if there is only a trace of the devil's aura engraved deep in your soul, you will be killed by this sword will mistakenly."
The woman's eyes overlapped with the eyes that were looking at her from heaven.
