38, Chapter 38(1/3)
Human nature is changeable, and demons are no exception.
They even differ in appearance and performance.
But most of them are eager for the human world, which has countless cultivation resources, soft reds, singing and dancing, which are all incomparable to the dark and cold abyss.
Some have a gentle temperament and are willing to bow their heads and integrate into the human world, and even form Taoist couples with monks or ordinary people, hiding their names. There are also some like Zhang Mu who directly take human skin and use it for their own use. They change their names and live in the world in a dignified manner, hiding for decades.
Not necessarily some people are crazy about it, there are even some who have a fierce temperament and directly enjoy torture, just to satisfy their inner murderous desire.
Zangtian does not belong to the above.
He hoped to be able to walk openly in broad daylight, without having to hide his identity, and without having to hide around because someone discovered him.
That's why he chose to cooperate with Wanxiang Palace, regardless of the other party's purpose.
"They poisoned the grasshopper. As long as people ate food containing the grasshopper, they would have more or less reactions. Some people had severe reactions, vomiting bugs in the mouth, and dying from abdominal pain. But in fact, it was not poison, but poison.
It’s Gu.”
Zangtian is also very angry now.
He thought that Wanxiang Palace was a good partner, but he didn't expect that he knew more. They needed a murderer to cover up the matter. The first person to be pushed out was Zangtian.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Zangtian fully understands how much the race hates humans.
But now he had to cooperate with this person for the time being.
Chang Ming said: "The Wanxiang Palace is a side door, where all capable people and strangers gather. Chi Bijiang has a junior sister who is good at poisoning and poisoning. It is said that she can take the head of a person thousands of years away. After the poison is cast, it will be counted.
The timing of the attack is good enough to make him die a thousand years away."
Zangtian: "I don't know how they did it specifically, but the Gu is indeed from the Wanxiang Palace, but just the Gu is not enough. If you want these people to die completely at the moment of darkness and be controlled by the Gu, you need a little more
Introduction."
Chang Ming: "You are the introduction."
Zangtian said calmly: "Yes, they asked me to inject demonic energy into it. This kind of poison is a hundred times more powerful than ordinary poison. Wherever it goes, it will kill everyone. Even the monks can't escape."
After dark, Yuru Town suddenly turned into a Shura world.
The bloody storm makes people and ghosts uneasy.
In the past without the intervention of Chang Ming and Yun Hai, this place became a ghost town. Business travelers passing by would rather take a long detour than pass through here. Legend has it that most of the people who broke into this place were captured by the resentful spirit and narrowly escaped death.
, everyone's color changed when they heard about it, and over time, weeds grew up, and it was completely buried under the wind and sand, and was rarely heard by the world.
Today, things are generally heading in the original direction. A murder has occurred and Cong Rong has become blind. The only two things that have changed may be Zangtian's defection and Situ Wanhe's early exposure.
In the past, if there was no Changming Yunhai, Zangtian would not be alive. If what he said is true, then Changming has never heard of Zangtian, which means that he most likely did not escape his bad luck.
There are also three people in Yun Changan. In the past, they must not have known that Situ Wanhe and Wanxiang Palace were behind the Yuru Town murder case, so they were able to live safely for so many years. Now that they know in advance, many variables have been added.
Just Yun Changan and Cong Rong, they are not immortal cultivators, their words are insignificant and no one believes them, but their lives are not in danger.
But Nie Emei is different. She is a disciple of the Zhenling Sect, and Situ and the Wanxiang Palace will most likely not let her go.
Although the Zhenling Sect was quite large and had many disciples, Nie Emei was not one of the best among them. Even if she disappeared without a trace, the Zhenling Sect would just treat her as an accident and would not delve into the inner story.
What's more, this inside story is so involved that a Zhenling Sect cannot afford it.
Chang Ming frowned slightly, his thoughts changed rapidly, and he looked at the three people next to him.
Cong Rong's eyes were slightly closed and he was leaning against the wall, seemingly asleep. He was still wearing Yun Changan's coat.
Her eyelids trembled slightly, and the hands holding her outer garments also trembled, but she didn't really fall asleep.
Yun Changan stared at the wall blankly, his expression numb, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Both Wanxiang Palace and Situ Wanhe were far away to them. Even if they understood the conspiracy Zangtian just mentioned, they would not be able to withstand the strong impact of a dead city in front of them.
Only Nie Emei, a monk, turned pale and couldn't believe it.
"It takes so many lives to refine a soul-gathering bead. Now that it has been shattered, do they have to find other lives to fill it?"
Zangtian said with malice: "Do you think one soul-gathering bead is enough? If you want to refine the heaven-defying formation that can reverse the world and even open up the prehistoric world, you need six soul-gathering beads, and the number of soul-gathering beads is
Naturally, the more souls, the better. No, the souls of the monks can also make the soul-gathering beads have more. Sooner or later, all of you will not be able to escape!"
With every word he said, Nie Emei's face turned paler.
"Perhaps Chi Bijiang is possessed by a demon?"
Zangtian sneered: "You people are always like this. Whatever you can't explain yourself, you blame it all on us! You can continue to deceive yourself and others. Now that you have seen Situ Wanhe's true face, wait until they want to kill you.
It’s not too late to kneel down and beg for mercy!”
"I, I'm not..." Nie Emei couldn't say any more.
"But it's useless even if I know it now. You and I have been tied to the same boat. Everyone, they won't let anyone go."
Hidden in the gloomy path of the sky, candles in the wind sway darkly and inexplicably.
"When the rooster crows for the first time, this will once again become an eternal hell. By then, no one will be able to escape."
Nie Emei lost his voice: "What do you mean?! Hasn't the Soul Gathering Pearl been broken into pieces, and the dead have rested in peace!"
Zangtian said lightly: "A trap has been laid out a long time ago, and the evil spirit entering the poison is just one part of it. Before you arrived, the formation had been laid around the entire city, and the evil spirit resentment that had not dissipated for many years was
There is a ghost town somewhere. After the rooster crows, the formation is activated. All survivors tonight will not be spared."
Yun Hai raised his eyebrows: "When the rooster sings, the whole world becomes white, even if it is not yet dawn, how can any evil ghost survive?"
Zangtian: "Chi Bijiang has already thought of everything you can think of. Those evil ghosts are the resentful souls of dozens or hundreds of years. Their evil aura has not dissipated. It is not harmful to them in broad daylight, especially if they are forcibly used.
When we set up the formation, we have already accumulated deep grudges. As soon as the formation is activated, we can't wait to come out and tear the living people in the formation into pieces."
Yun Chang'an stood up, and the anger that had been building up for a long time suddenly burst out.
"Then let's rush out before the rooster crows!"
Zangtian: "You can try."
Yun Chang'an didn't waste any time. He jumped up and said to Cong Rong, "I'll be back to pick you up soon." Then he ran towards the female wall.
Changming and Yunhai did not move.
They knew that since Zangtian said this, he must have tried it himself.
If he could leave, he would have left long ago. If he didn't specifically mention cooperation, he would talk so much nonsense.
The entire Yuru Town itself has turned into a formation without all the people being aware of it.
After dark, the formation is activated and no one can get out.
Chang Ming's breaking of the Soul-Gathering Pearl was a variable that even Chi Bijiang might not have thought of, but she had a back-up plan, so Chen Ting and Situ left as soon as they said they wanted to, not wanting to fight——
Because they are all diligent, they know that they will never escape the death of thousands of souls after the rooster crows.
This also means that they will face a more difficult battle.
As expected, not long after, Yun Changan came back dejected.
After repeated attacks, he had become strong enough, and at least he did not get angry at Zangtian or anyone else. He jumped onto the roof platform, walked to Cong Rong and sat down next to him.
"Every time I want to go out, I encounter a ghost wall and end up going back to where I started."
"Not only can you not get out, but people from outside can't get in either. When faced with a situation like yours, you human monks are sharper than others and will not notice anything strange and will not come in to throw themselves into a trap unless -"
The place they were resting at this time was located on a rooftop platform in the city. It was originally used by people to grow flowers and grass. It was not high at two floors, but it was well positioned facing the city gate, which was enough for them to see clearly from a high position.
When everyone heard Zangtian's voice suddenly interrupted, they all raised their heads to look at him, and then followed his gaze towards the city gate.
A young man, probably a young man from his body shape, slowly walked into the city gate.
Her hair was tied into a bun, her clothes were flowing, and she was carrying a long sword behind her.
"Unless he is a fool who prefers to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains."
Zangtian finally finished the second half of the sentence.
Changming:……
Unexpectedly, Yunhai came closer and bit his ears.
"You were much fresher and cuter in the past."
Chang Ming had an expressionless face: "Back then, I entered the city after dawn."
After entering the city, there was no one alive in the city, let alone Zangtian and Nie Emei.
As for Yun Chang'an and Cong Rong, they managed to escape because they found an inn's cellar and hid in it. However, they had no idea what had happened, let alone the conspiracy.
"It shows that history has already changed."
Yun Hai watched the young man Chang Ming walking from a distance with great interest.
The other person's face was clear and handsome, with a vague outline and aura of later generations, but he was still a little green, after all, he was only thirteen or fifteen years old.
How interesting, he never imagined that he could see Jiu Fang Changming in his youth under such a situation.
That feeling is like seeing another side of the other person that is unknown under the veil.
Details have changed, but many things are still moving in the same direction.
