Three days ago, when the sect issued the inspection mission, it had repeatedly warned:
[Once you hear the sound of a gong after dark, you must avoid the area covered by the 'house-killing' charm in the shortest possible time.
No matter what sound you hear, remember not to make any noise or look outside.】
In the past three days, although the disciples of the Star-Chasing Sword Sect have been conducting routine inspections in the secular world every day, nothing strange has ever appeared at night. Gradually, Chang Ning and others have become a little lax, otherwise he would have waited long for such inspections.
It can be done during the day.
Unexpectedly, there was actually a gong sound at nightfall today.
Chang Ning focused his magic power on his ears and listened carefully, but he only heard the faint sound of wind and the chirping of insects and ants.
"Senior...brother, that...the sound of the gong is getting...gudu~~, getting closer and closer!"
Suddenly, the sound of Junior Brother Yaoyang trembling and swallowing saliva could be heard in his ears.
Chang Ning did not hesitate any longer. He decided to believe his junior brother. He turned his left hand and a sword-shaped cannon turned into a white light and flew into the air from the palm of his hand.
"Chirp~~~"
As a dazzling white light shot high into the sky, a sharp and harsh sound immediately cut through the silent night sky.
At this moment, hundreds of slender and dazzling sword lights rose in the night sky that had completely darkened.
The sharp sword whistles reached the ears of every creature in Bolang City.
There are thousands of cultivation methods in the world, and Yaoyang is not the only one who can hear the soul-calling gong.
"Hiss~~"
Looking at the sword light exploding one after another above his head, Chang Ning understood that the matter was serious. He took another breath and shouted sharply:
"Walk!"
The magic power in the body was driven to the feet quickly like a raging torrent, and the 'Flying Sword' magical weapon instantly emitted a dazzling light.
At this moment, Chang Ning had used all his strength to activate the magic weapon at his feet, and he had no time to care about the damage caused by the magic weapon.
But before he could take off from where he was, Junior Brother Yaoyang's desperate and trembling voice came to his ears again.
"Senior Brother, come...it's too late, there are gongs ringing all around...everywhere."
Chang Ning froze, his eyes quickly looking around, and found that there was only the slightly weird "Bai Mansion" courtyard around him.
In addition, the nearest building to himself and others was several miles away.
Since Junior Brother Yaoyang said it was too late to evacuate, there is only one way.
Chang Ning immediately raised his head and shouted:
"Junior sister Lanhe, come quickly!"
Lan He, who was cruising in the sky above Bai Mansion and looking at the rising sword light all around, was frightened without any hesitation. When he heard Chang Ning's call, he flew down from the sky as fast as the wind.
After landing on the ground, Lan He was about to ask when he saw Chang Ning shouting hastily:
"Come with me!"
With that said, he turned over and fell off the 'Flying Sword' magical weapon, turned around and quickly walked to the door of the 'White Mansion'.
The left hand and the right hand holding the sword join their hands in front of the chest and salute:
"There is an evil disaster approaching outside. Please allow the juniors and others to take shelter in the house temporarily. After the disaster is over, we will come to your house to repair it!"
Lan He and Yaoyang also bowed solemnly and made the same promise.
As soon as the three people finished speaking, the door of the White Mansion, which was on the verge of being broken, opened slowly with a creak.
‘Gudu~~’
Yaoyang, who was a little timid, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or something intentional in the house, but from this moment on, there was no disrespect for the gods and ghosts in his heart.
With Changning in front, Yaoyang in the middle, and Lanhe Duan behind, the three of them quickly crossed the dilapidated threshold and entered the courtyard of the 'White Mansion'.
After entering the house, Chang Ning patted his right shoulder with his left hand. A rune pattern on the right shoulder of the robe quickly lit up. A circle of slightly dim yellow light bloomed on the right shoulder, and the scene of the surrounding two feet suddenly appeared.
At the same time, Lan He and Yaoyang also activated the 'glow' array on their robes. The three of them stood in a triangular position, and there was no trace of darkness within a few feet.
In the past few hundred years, the world of spiritual practice has changed rapidly. The 'glow' magic circle on the robes of the three people at the moment was invented by the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' a hundred years ago.
This is not the only kind of magic circle on the robe. In addition, there are many other magic circles such as 'water avoidance', 'dust removal', 'silencing' and so on.
However, the more powerful the magic robe is, the more numerous the magic circles are engraved, and the higher the price. The price of a magic robe that can accommodate up to nine types of magic circles is said to be three thousand gold talismans.
The standard robes worn by Chang Ning and others were made by the refining method obtained by the disciples who joined the ‘Boundary Patrol Platform’ in the Wanbao Pavilion of the ‘Boundary Patrol Platform’ through their contribution points.
Although there are only three magic circles, namely 'glow', 'insect avoidance' and 'dust removal', they are enough for disciples to travel around the world on a daily basis.
As three rays of light bloomed, the situation several feet away was clearly reflected in the eyes of the three people.
After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, the three people in Changning couldn't help but beat their hearts secretly.
It is obviously a dilapidated house that has been abandoned for many years. Except for the stone walls, paths and buildings in the large courtyard, it is slightly dilapidated.
There was not even a fallen leaf in the courtyard, and as for snakes, insects, rats, ants, and cobwebs, there was no sign of them. It was as if someone had been cleaning the house.
The night sky in the distance bloomed with sword lights and piercing sword whistles from time to time, but the house seemed like a quiet world, so quiet that not even a breath of wind came through.
The three people in Changning were nervous, looking around with vigilant eyes, and walked towards the central hall step by step.
That's the closest house to the three of them, and the house is big enough for the three of them to perform sword skills.
The dim yellow light slowly dispersed forward, and Chang Ning and the three of them each pressed their swords in their hands and arrived in front of the central hall door.
At this time, even Changning could hear the faint sound of gongs coming from all around.
He even felt a bit of bone-chilling chill around him, which made the goosebumps on his skin stand out.
You know, it's July now, the hottest season of the year, and this situation shouldn't happen at all.
Arriving at the door of the nave hall, looking at the slightly old and closed door of the nave, Chang Ning let out a slight sigh.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Take one step forward and push the door open. He is the oldest among the three, so he does his duty at this time.
Suddenly, Yaoyang's slightly urgent voice came to his ears.
"Senior brother~~!"
Chang Ning understood his junior brother's worries and said in a deep voice without looking back:
"Junior brother, don't worry. If there is any danger, you two should leave this place quickly!"
"No..., before entering rashly, senior brother, would you like to ask the owner of this place first?"
~~~囧~~~
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Chang Ning's face, and under the stress of his thoughts, he even forgot the most basic rules.
If this house were somewhere else, there would be no need to pay attention to the usual red tape, but since it is guessed that this is Bai Youan's residence, it is different.
"Ahem!"
Chang Ning coughed twice and saluted with his sword in hand.
"Junior Chang Ning of the Star-Chasing Sword Sect has brought his fellow juniors and juniors to the treasure house to temporarily avoid evil spirits. I wonder if it is allowed?"
Chang Ning's slightly hoarse voice echoed slowly in the lonely house.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the closed central hall door.
Chang Ning took a breath and slightly increased the volume to raise his voice.
"Junior Chang Ning of the Star-Chasing Sword Sect has brought his fellow juniors and juniors to the treasure house to temporarily avoid evil spirits. I wonder if it is allowed?"
"Junior Chang Ning of the Star-Chasing Sword Sect, together with his fellow disciples..."
"Junior Chang Ning of the Star-Chasing Sword Sect, along with me..."
Echoes echoed through the house, but there was no response from the surroundings.
Chang Ning swallowed and was about to speak for the third time. Unexpectedly, when he just opened his mouth and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a clear and clear gong sound in his ears.
“嘡~~~~”
The sound of this gong not only rings in the ears, but also rings in the heart.
The three people in Changning were startled by the sudden sound of a gong so close at hand.
The three people quickly turned around to look around, but they saw that the bright moon and stars hanging high in the night sky had been obscured by thick clouds at some point, and not even a trace of starlight was transmitted through them.
‘Hoo~~ho~~ho~~’
A sound like a low sob sounded from all directions in the west.
Lan He's eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and she saw endless gray-black mist all around her, surging between the sky and the earth like a sea tide.
In this boundless mist, countless figures could be vaguely seen shaking.
"嘡~~~"
Another gong that resounded throughout the soul resounded between heaven and earth.
Lan He followed the sound and found that the sound of the gong came from this endless sea of fog.
Lan He took a breath and looked intently with Fa Ju's eyes.
Under the magical power of 'Distance Eyes', the dense fog was peeled away layer by layer like an illusory veil. In an instant, Lan He could clearly see the scene in the fog.
But at this moment, Lan He wished he had never seen it.
