Changning and Yaoyang looked up at the movements of the fat white knight, and they instinctively held their breath.
At this time, there was no head in the left hand of the fat white knight, only a black and red bell the size of a chicken, densely covered with hundreds of desperate faces.
The fat white knight grabbed the bell and shook it in his ear.
"Dingling bell~~"
The moment the bell rang, Chang Ning and Yaoyang's ears and minds suddenly filled with the wails and screams of countless creatures.
‘Buzz~~’
When no more wailing sounds could be heard in his ears, Chang Ning realized that he had been lying on the ground without knowing when.
Changning shook his sore head and slowly stood up from the ground.
He looked around in confusion, still in the ancestral hall.
He looked up and saw the fat white knight hanging the bell on the skeleton horse's neck.
Chang Ning understood that he had not been asleep for long, but this moment of ecstasy gave him the feeling that a long time had passed.
The fat white knight was very satisfied with his new gadget. After hanging the bell around the neck of the skeleton horse, he said with a smile:
"With the little bell, I won't be afraid of being hit when I walk in the future."
Looking down at the damaged doors and windows of the ancestral hall, the fat white knight pointed down with his left hand.
“Doors and windows restored!”
There was no mana turbulence, nor was there any spiritual light flying.
Scattered pieces of bricks, tiles and wood in the ancestral hall flew up from all over the ground at the sound. In an instant, countless pieces of bricks and tiles fell towards the entrance of the ancestral hall like raindrops.
The broken bricks, tiles, and wood pieces were restored bit by bit and re-condensed into a whole.
As if controlled by countless invisible hands, the doors and windows returned to their original state layer by layer. In just a blink of an eye, the doors and windows of the ancestral hall had returned to the way they were when Chang Ning and others first arrived.
Chang Ning stared blankly at the scene in front of him that seemed to turn back time, and his heart was filled with extreme shock.
It is understandable that living things have gods, and it is understandable that they can follow the orders of the fat white knight, but the bricks, wood, and tiles are just lifeless substances, so how can they move according to the orders of the fat white knight.
The doors and windows were restored to their original state, but there were still a large number of broken wood tiles on the ground.
The fat white knight looked at the ground, then looked around, then raised his head and looked at the roof.
A hole about ten feet in size came into view.
In contrast, three long arms quietly retreated from the damaged part of the roof at this moment.
The fat white knight's squinted eyes widened instantly. He threw the helmet in his right hand on the saddle and raised a four-foot-long dark stick from his back with his bent arm.
This short stick is as thick as a goose egg, with two pointed ends, one big and one small, and it looks inconspicuous.
The fat white knight swung his backhand, and the short stick in his hand whirled and flew out from the damaged part of the roof.
Since the damaged part of the roof was directly above Changning's head, he could clearly see the scene outside the roof through the hole in the roof.
The speed of the short stick flying in the air was not very fast, but for some reason, the three arms that escaped from the roof retracted quickly after leaving the ancestral hall, but in the blink of an eye, they were caught up by the short stick and hit one of the arms with a stick.
superior.
"Bang~"
The arm hit by the stick instantly disintegrated like a bubble. When the palm of the arm shattered, a series of screams and wails sounded in the night sky.
"Ah~ah~ah~"
After hitting the first arm, the stick rebounds to the other arm due to the force.
"Bang~"
Immediately afterwards, the short stick rebounded again, spinning and hitting the third arm.
"Bang~"
The three long pale arms turned into fly ash in an instant, scattered bone powder drifted in the wind, and the screams penetrated into Chang Ning's ears like awls.
"Huhuhu~"
The short stick whirled back from the damaged part of the roof and landed in the right hand of the fat white knight.
The fat white knight twirled his right hand, and the short stick quickly spun in his hand.
“Roof restoration!”
As the fat white knight spoke again, the scattered pieces of bricks, tiles and wood flew up out of thin air again, and were embedded in the damaged parts of the roof in an orderly manner to restore them to their original state.
The fat white knight shook his head and looked around, grinned with satisfaction, and knocked his feet off the horse's belly.
"Herodus~~"
The skeleton horse raised its head and let out a long neigh, turned its head and stepped on the void, burning with blazing flames and walking towards the spiritual throne.
Just after taking two steps, the fat white knight suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked down at Lan He, who was still kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, Chang Ning faintly saw countless figures flashing in the clear eyes of the fat white knight.
The fat white knight reined in his horse and raised his hand to pluck three hairs from his head.
"Hi~, it hurts!"
He muttered something in his mouth, and touched the small bell on the skeleton horse's neck with his right hand. A few strands of hair were already held in his hand. He then groped around his waist for a moment and took out a three-inch long white gold talisman.
"I knew the blind man wouldn't give me anything for nothing."
This white-gold talisman is called the "Ruyi Golden Talisman" and was given to him by Zhang Ke for self-defense.
When he looked at Lan He just now, he vaguely saw that Zhang Ke's descendants would encounter life and death disasters in unknown time and space in the future.
Bai Youan's heart was as pure as white paper, and he casually took out the 'Ruyi Golden Talisman' that Zhang Ke gave him.
He combined three strands of his hair and a strand of hair plucked from the bell with the 'Ruyi Golden Talisman', twisted his hands, and a faint transparent ripple spread out in his hands.
Opening his hands, a twisted three-foot filament appeared in his palm.
A series of mysterious white-gold runes form a white-gold glow that slowly extends from one end of the filament to the other, sometimes disappearing and sometimes appearing, which is very gorgeous.
Bai Youan used the index and middle fingers of his right hand to grasp the white-gold filament. His right hand trembled slightly, and the three-foot-long filament suddenly split into hundreds of pieces.
The right hand moved slightly again, and the thousands of hair strands instantly extended outward, extending from three feet to ten feet in the blink of an eye.
With a flick of his hand, thousands of hair strands streaked through the air, and wherever they passed, countless cracks appeared in the space that looked like they had been cut by blades.
The two fingers in the index twitched again, and thousands of threads were coiled, returning to the shape of a slender hair.
Bai Youan thought for a while, then bit the tip of his tongue, and a bit of golden-red blood spurted out of his mouth and landed on the filament in his hand.
"Boom~"
The filament flashed a black and red flame at lightning speed.
When the fire light disappeared, the filament in Bai Youan's hand had turned into a three-foot willow leaf sword.
The sword body was like a pool of autumn water. When it stood still in Bai Youan's hand, it disappeared into the air in an instant, leaving only a slender sword shadow on the ground.
Bai Youan turned his right hand, and the side of the rapier in his hand was white like moonlight.
He turned his palm again, and the other side of the rapier was as dark as night.
"The body will be cut by day, and the soul will be cut by night!"
Bai Youan looked at the rapier in his hand and chanted.
Mysterious talisman patterns burst out from both sides of the sword. After he finished speaking, the talisman patterns in the sword body also disappeared without a trace.
"look up!"
Bai Youan's words were aimed at Lan He. Lan He, who was kneeling down in prayer, straightened up and raised his head, revealing an extremely pale face and a pair of gray-white eyes.
Bai Youan flicked his hand with his backhand, and the thin sword on his fingertips left his hand, like a white light blending into the center of Lan He's eyebrows below.
"This sword is called 'Xishui', and it is under your control for the time being. When you meet its master someday, you can come back to the underworld to find me!"
When he said this, Bai Youan's expression was majestic and solemn, very different from before, as if he was a different person.
As Bai Youan spoke, he raised his hand and took the 'Demon-Conquering Pestle' from his back again.
The right hand is pointed towards the Lan River.
A bit of black and white flying light flew out from the tip of the pestle and fell into Lanhe's body.
Lan He's body trembled. At this moment, her body felt extremely warm, as if she was soaking in the ocean formed by the sun.
After careful observation, Lan He found that every moment a trace of heat was dissipated from his body, but the heat emitted was just like a drop in the ocean compared to the heat inside his body.
Bai Youan's expression once again became honest and lazy after saying this.
Scratching his head in confusion, Bai Youan knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and the skeleton horse continued to walk in the air.
With the sound of hoofbeats, the skeleton horse shrank little by little, and the circular flame mark that carried Bai Youan into the center of the spiritual throne disappeared.
"Huh~"
A dazzling firelight burst out from the spiritual position, and Changning and Yaoyang's eyes, which had been staring at Bai Youan, burned and they couldn't help but close their eyes.
When the two opened their eyes again and looked at the spiritual tablet, there was only a blank spiritual tablet standing upright.
Closed doors and windows, intact roof, silent ancestral hall.
At this moment, Chang Ning was in a daze, and he couldn't tell whether what he had just experienced was reality or a dream.
It wasn't until he saw a black and white mark on his junior sister Lan He's eyebrows that he finally confirmed everything.
Lan He stood up from the futon, looked at Xian Changning, and said vaguely:
"Brother, I seemed to have had a dream just now. I dreamed that a ghost was coming, and there was a fat man with white hair..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chang Ning said in a deep voice:
"Junior sister, be careful what you say!"
Lan He looked stunned and didn't understand why his senior brother stopped him from speaking.
Just as he was about to ask, a sword sound was heard outside the door.
"Zheng——"
The familiar voice cheered up the three people present. Without thinking about anything else, the three people took a few steps to the door of the ancestral hall, opened the door and stepped outside.
"Whoosh~"
The moment the three of them arrived outside the ancestral hall, a person suddenly appeared next to them.
"Why are you three here?"
Chang Ning turned his head following the sound, and when he saw the person in front of him, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Disciple Chang Ning, pay homage to Patriarch Luluo!"
Lan He and Yaoyang on the side also saluted the people in front of them one after another.
"Disciple Lanhe, pay your respects to the master!"
"Disciple Yaoyang, pay homage to Patriarch Luluo!"
Just from the visit of three people, you can tell the distance.
The person in front of me is wearing a light green robe, with fine eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and an ordinary three-foot long sword slung on his back. He is the True Lord Luluo of the 'Star-Chasing Sword Sect'.
And the sword behind her is also unusual. It is the 'Qingfeng Sword', one of the seven divine swords of the 'Star Chasing Sword Sect'.
True Lord Luluo nodded slightly.
"No need to be polite!"
Then he looked at Lanhe and saw his pair of gray-white eyes, Lu Luo Zhenjun frowned.
"Lan He, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Lan He was extremely talented and was a disciple that Lu Luo Zhenjun valued very much. He only waited for him to cultivate his sword intention before recruiting him. At this moment, seeing that his eyes were abnormal, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Lanhe replied respectfully:
"Master, this disciple accidentally looked into the Netherworld, causing his eyes to change."
Just as Lord Luluo was about to ask what was going on, he saw another disciple Yaoyang beside him with a strange look on his face. He followed his gaze and explained:
"Tonight, the Yin soldiers from the Nether Realm are crossing the border. I am worried that you will be in danger while waiting for inspection, so I have sent many disciples to rescue you."
"Oh~~"
Changning and the other three responded, then looked around together.
But I saw streaks of brilliant sword light flying in and out of the night sky, forming a gorgeous scene like thousands of iron trees blooming.
Countless Netherworld creatures were split apart by the sword light, or turned into Yin Qi that spread all over the sky, or were killed and their souls condensed Yin Qi into some genius treasures that could only appear in the Netherworld.
Looking at the sword energy rising into the sky and sweeping the sky, Chang Ning's heart was filled with excitement, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
He turned around and asked:
"Grandmaster Luluo, why are there Yin soldiers passing through Bolang City tonight?"
Lord Luluo said calmly:
"In five days, it will be the night of the Ghost Festival on July 15th. At that time, this world will perform the blood origin sealing technique on Yuren.
At that time, countless feathered people will inevitably be sacrificed in blood. Since the feathered people are not living beings in this world, whether they are alive or dead, the realm itself is extremely repulsive to them.
This also makes it difficult for the resentful spirits formed by the dead feathered people to be introduced into the netherworld for a while. By then, there will be tens or even hundreds of millions of feathered people souls wandering in the human world.
At the same time, because the Yuren souls were destroyed by this world, they have extreme resentment towards the creatures in this world. Once they mix into the human world, they will inevitably cause endless killings to the creatures in this world.
Therefore, the ‘Boundary Patrol Platform’ will open the portal between the Yin and Yang realms, guide the Yin soldiers and ghosts from the Nether Realm into the human realm to capture them, and guide the feathered souls to the lower realm.”
Changning said ‘oh’, but said a little strangely:
"Since the Yin soldiers entered the human world for the souls of the Yuren, why did the disciples and others encounter strange ghostly creatures before?"
True Lord Luluo explained:
"One is that due to the wide opening of the gate of hell, some powerful and special ghost creatures in the nether world have entered the human world with the help of special abilities.
The second reason is that due to the concentration of Netherworld Yin Qi, some special Yin points or areas are contaminated by Yin Qi, and some strange Netherworld creatures are born.
In addition, there are some creatures with unique talents that use Yin Qi to transform and transform into ghostly creatures.
Yin soldiers appear in large numbers just to kill all kinds of mindless ghosts.
The 'door god' portraits and 'house-holding' talismans that you and others have installed in various places during your previous inspections are to ward off all kinds of unruly ghostly creatures.
Not only tonight, but also for the next five days, Yin soldiers and ghostly creatures will appear every night."
Only then did Chang Ning and the other three people understand why they encountered the terrifying netherworld creatures tonight.
Speaking of this, Lord Luluo sighed softly and said:
"You only saw Bolang City in front of you, and you may not know that large-scale underworld soldiers will appear in all areas of this world tonight.
Just this night, I don’t know how many creatures in this world lost their lives at the hands of netherworld creatures.”
Changning and others were silent.
No matter how well the sects in the world try to prevent it, there will inevitably be countless lives lost due to various reasons that cannot be rescued immediately.
The three of them are the best example. If Lan He hadn't awakened the 'Door God' Bai You'an with his prayers, the three of them would have died at the hands of that terrifying netherworld creature.
While several people were in a state of excitement, Di Yaoyang suddenly pointed to the left and shouted:
"Then...what is that?"
Chang Ning followed the direction pointed by Yaoyang and looked carefully.
I saw a strange ghost ten feet tall appearing hundreds of feet away.
This ghost takes on a human form as a whole, with four faces facing all directions, dozens of long arms scattered throughout the body, and the translucent body contains countless ghosts.
There is a long gray-white rope tied around his neck, and Yin Qi surrounds his body, making it unclear where the long rope is connected.
This ghost walked slowly on the earth with its body hunched, and the green eyes on its four faces turned to look everywhere.
From time to time, I would see him bending down and reaching down to scoop up the ghosts and stuff them into his mouth.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
In the sound of chewing, ghosts and ghosts were swallowed into the abdomen, and they were bitten together with other ghosts in the abdomen.
Chang Ning's heart was shaken. He had never seen such a ferocious ghost in his life.
However, he also saw clearly that the ghosts hunted by this ghost were chaotic ghosts that were rushing around the house guarded by the 'house-controlling' talisman.
This ghost did not cause any harm to the creatures within the protection of the 'house-holding' talisman.
"This... this ghost seems to be the one I saw in the nether mist before, but it didn't seem to be so big before."
Lan He looked into the distance with gray-white eyes, and said something unconsciously.
Chang Ning's heart moved and asked:
"Could it be the huge ghostly creature that junior sister said was tied up with a long rope by the 'door god' Bai Youan?"
After a previous experience, Chang Ning already knew that the fat white knight who had just appeared in the ancestral hall was the 'Door God' Bai Youan, so he asked.
Lanhe nodded and said:
"It should be this one. The mark between the eyebrows of this ghost is exactly the same as the one between my eyebrows. I saw it before."
Lan He said and couldn't help but touch his eyebrows.
After her eyes were unable to see properly, Lan He found that she seemed to have a pair of eyes outside her body. She could see herself from all directions. The abnormality between her eyebrows had naturally been noticed by her.
Lu Luo Zhenjun's eyes narrowed and he turned to look at Lan He.
"Have you met the 'Door God' Bai Youan?"
Lanhe nodded and said:
"The name of this house is 'Bai Mansion', which should be the residence of the 'Door God' Bai Gong. The ancestors of the Bai family of all generations are enshrined in the ancestral hall behind us.
Mr. Bai’s spiritual position is at the bottom level.”
Lord Luluo frowned, Lan He was full of respect for the 'door god' Bai Youan in his words, and his title was completely different from the others.
She didn't know what Lan He went through in the ancestral hall, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Practitioners, especially sword cultivators, besides respecting their ancestors and their elders, the only thing they respect is the sword in their hand.
Lan He would now respect the 'door god' so much, which naturally made her wary.
As the True Lord of Yuanshen, True Lord Luluo naturally knows the foundation of the Bai Mansion, but he doesn't understand why the 'Door God' Bai Youan will appear here tonight.
Looking back at the 'Baifu' ancestral hall, Lord Luluo said:
"Lan He, please tell me about your previous experience in the ancestral hall."
"yes!"
While Lan He was describing the situation in the ancestral hall to Lord Luluo, Chang Ning was also observing the surroundings.
"Wow~~~~~~"
The long rope around the neck of the huge ghost was pulled, and it turned with heavy steps to another place where there were many ghosts.
Chang Ning discovered that in addition to the master sect and this huge ghost that was clearing away the surrounding ghosts, there were also some weird ghosts that were also killing the chaotic ghosts.
Judging from their appearance, they are very similar to those ghosts that the junior sister had mentioned before in the ancestral hall.
For example, there are hunchback ghosts holding soul-calling bells, leopard tails, bird's beaks, fish gills, wasps and other ghosts from the underworld, seducers wearing white robes and long sleeves, long-tongued black and white impermanence, and densely packed ghost soldiers and generals.
These weird ghosts have a strong ability to restrain ghostly creatures.
The Soul Seducer can roll up hundreds of chaotic ghosts with a flick of his long sleeves. Each Yin Commander will grab the target ghost and the target ghost will fall into his palm. Wherever the black and white impermanent mourning stick is struck, the netherworld creatures will be immediately dispersed and turned into Yin Qi.
.
But even though these weird ghosts were extremely powerful, Chang Ning couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Beside him, Yaoyang asked Changning's doubts.
"Grandmaster Luluo, black and white, impermanence, is this all the top ten shady men have?"
Lord Luluo smiled slightly.
"These ghosts are just one of the countless clones of these legendary creatures. They are so powerful that they cannot enter the human world without permission.
Otherwise, the human world is so vast, how could they cover every part of the world?"
Chang Ning stared blankly at the chaotic fighting outside. After a while, he suddenly asked:
"Grandmaster Luluo, he caused such boundless killings just to ban the Yuren bloodline. Is this really the right thing to do?"
Lord Luluo didn't answer for a long time, until Chang Ning thought she wouldn't answer and was about to change the question, then he heard the faint words of Lord Luluo ringing in his ears.
"The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Now we just need to complete the task!"
The indifferent voice echoed in the night sky. Even amidst the sounds of swords and ghosts roaring outside, Chang Ning and others could hear it clearly.
