Chapter 1. Ghosts run amok
Lu Zhi Huanran came back to his senses and subconsciously raised his head to look up at the sky. He saw a blood moon coming into his eyes. The moonlight was like blood, which made him squint his eyes.
A crisp sound came from the side. Lu Zhi followed the sound and saw a pair of green eyes suddenly raised in the darkness and looked at him.
The corners of Lu Zhi's eyes twitched. It was a skinny old wolf covered in diarrhea. It also held a bloodshot bone in its mouth, which turned out to be a human arm bone!
Lu Zhi seemed to have disturbed its eating.
"Woo...hoo..." The sudden appearance of Lu Zhi obviously startled the old wolf. He instantly leaned down, bared his fangs, and let out waves of low whimpering sounds from his throat.
Roar.
Lu Zhi ignored the old wolf and just continued to look around him. Where he was, there was a mass grave! The small pit was filled with piles of bones. There was not even a thin coffin or straw mat, and it smelled rotten.
The smell of corpses is so overwhelming!
Ta! There was a muffled sound, and Lu Zhi turned his head. It turned out that the old wolf saw Lu Zhi's eyes turned elsewhere, and instantly pounced on him.
I saw the old wolf approaching Lu Zhi in an instant, then jumped up suddenly, put his claws on Lu Zhi's shoulders, opened his bloody wolf kiss and bit him on the neck!
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the old wolf's entire figure was frozen in mid-air. Then he heard a click, and saw the wolf's head twisting violently, its neck broken by the invisible force, and it fell down helplessly.
land.
After taking one look at the old wolf's body, Lu Zhi frowned. For some reason, ever since he came here, he had always had a depressing, ominous and weird feeling in his heart.
Whether it was the strange blood moon in mid-air or the graves full of death, they all made him feel extremely depressed and awkward.
After Lu Zhi pondered for a few breaths, he raised his hand and summoned a beam of fire that fell on the mass graves, cremating the bones in the mass graves, and then turned into a golden light and left here.
He flew high into the sky and looked down. He saw nothing but darkness above the earth. As far as he could see, it was all mountains and forests. It looked extremely quiet under the night. He couldn't even hear the sound of insects or the light of a lamp.
.
Lu Zhi became even more confused. Logically speaking, since there were mass graves here, and he had seen several recently deceased corpses before, there must be people around here.
But why can't he see even a trace?
He looked into the distance and discovered a small dilapidated temple a few miles away.
A golden light fell from mid-air and landed in front of the small temple, revealing Lu Zhi's figure.
Lu Zhi looked at the dilapidated small temple in front of him, and his expression moved slightly. In the darkness, the image of the small temple turned into a bottomless black mouth in his eyes, which was extremely weird.
After standing still for a few breaths, Lu Zhi walked into the small temple, ready to find out.
When you walk into the small temple, the first thing you notice is the ferocious statue in the temple. You can see its green-faced fangs, sharp teeth like daggers, and a pair of clay sculpture eyes as big as copper bells, painted with scarlet paint like two
It looks like a drop of blood, and just looking at it makes people feel frightened.
"..."
Lu Zhi's face couldn't help but turn ugly, and he said coldly: "What kind of evil brat you are, how dare you come to seek bad luck from a poor man."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhi raised his hand and slashed out a sword light. As the golden light surged, the entire small temple was smashed to pieces by his sword energy!
boom!
As the earth and rocks exploded, a piercing scream sounded in Lu Zhi's ears. A black air surged out of the shattered statue, and then it instantly melted and was annihilated in the golden sword light like the scorching sun.
middle.
What is enshrined in this temple is something evil! And he even dared to try to confuse Lu Zhi before, causing him to fall into a terrifying illusion.
"Hmph!" Lu Zhi snorted coldly and directly smashed the evil temple, causing the evil spirits to disappear into ashes.
Half an hour later, Lu Zhi, who had left the mountain forest and was walking along the official road in the forest, stopped again and looked up at the rotting female corpse blocking the road ahead.
"Master, can you help me? I..."
call out!
Lu Zhi couldn't bear to listen to the nonsense of the female corpse, so a sword light sent her completely back to heaven and earth.
Not long after, Lu Zhi suddenly looked to the side of the road and saw a ghost dressed as a scholar hanging on the crooked tree on the roadside. He saw it swinging in the tree.
The tip was swinging, and a long tongue was spitting out, trying to strangle Lu Zhi's neck.
Lu Zhi: "..."
In just less than half an hour, he had already encountered several sneaky things in succession.
What's more puzzling to him is that his pure Yang Dao body, which is immune to all evils, has no effect on these evil ghosts... What kind of world is this?!
"roll!"
Lu Zhi roared angrily, directly disintegrating the soul and ghost energy of the hanged ghost scholar, and the crooked-necked tree that seemed to be a spirit, instantly exploded into pieces that filled the sky.
This night, Lu Zhi finally saw what the so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Parade was all about.
This mountain forest is almost like a devil's cave! You can encounter a strange thing in three steps, and you can encounter a sneaky monster blocking your way in five steps!
Lu Zhi also got angry and simply fell down from mid-air, running rampant in the mountains and forests. He wanted to see how many ghosts and monsters he could kill in this mountains and forests!
Overnight, he encountered evil spirits, female corpses blocking the road, hanged ghosts, drowned ghosts, white-haired zombies, spirited old dogs... There were monsters everywhere! But he didn't meet a single living person!
It wasn't until an hour later, when he found a small village, that he finally felt like he was back in the world.
It is worth mentioning that when Lu Zhi came to this small village, the watchman who was patrolling the village seemed to have seen some terrifying ghost. He was so frightened that he grabbed the gong in his hand and banged it hard, summoning the gong.
Dozens of villagers came holding torches.
Afterwards, after some negotiations, the villagers refused to let Lu Zhi step into their village. They even tried to throw torches at him and use things like black dog blood to greet him.
Lu Zhi had no choice but to ask the villagers about the location and direction of the nearest town, then turned around and set up the golden light and left.
The next day, the sky broke, the Yang Qi rose, the Yin Qi receded, and the dark and weird atmosphere began to fade away.
It wasn't until daybreak that the city gates of Jinping Fucheng slowly opened to both sides. Several yawning guards slowly walked out of the opened city gates and began their day's work.
"Hey, that little Taoist priest." One of the guards looked at Lu Zhi, stretched out his hand and said, "If you want to enter the city, you must first pay the entrance fee. I think the hosta on your head is good, so use it to pay off the debt."
The guard was talking to himself, and without waiting for Lu Zhi's reply, he reached out directly to Lu Zhi's crown.
Lu Zhi glanced at him, ignored him, and walked directly into the city. It was not until he left that the guards who were frozen in place suddenly shook and collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.
, with a look of horror on his face.
On the other side, after entering the city, Lu Zhi walked around the streets and turned directly into a teahouse. In the teahouse, there was a storyteller telling stories and there were many guests. It was the best place to inquire about the news.
Good place to go.
In one morning, Lu Zhi heard a lot of useful news in the teahouse.
For example, the storyteller told the story of the fox demon repaying his kindness by committing himself to a poor scholar as his wife and helping him win the gold medal.
For another example, the table on the left side of the teahouse was said to be about to rush to the capital to take the exam. The two scholars were discussing national affairs. During their conversation, they also revealed a piece of information that Lu Zhi was very concerned about.
"....I don't know what the Holy One was thinking, but he actually made the demon monk Cihang Pudu the national preceptor. This time when I go to Beijing to take the exam, I must denounce the demon monk's serious crime of harming the country in front of the Holy One, and advise the Holy One to punish him.
Demon-killing monk..."
Lu Zhi didn't pay much attention to the subsequent conversation between the two. After all, he already had the most important information.
Demonic Monk, Cihang Pudu... Combined with the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts that he saw and heard last night, he had already roughly guessed what kind of world this was.
Liaozhai!
