There have been some strange rumors lately about ghosts haunting the town.
It’s not that Yin Guihong doesn’t believe in things with strange powers and chaos, he just doesn’t think it’s necessary to make people panic like this. If you don’t do evil things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Everyone in the world should understand this truth. Besides, if there are really evil ghosts at work, they will always be there.
There is a way to deal with them. If any innocent people are hurt, it is pitiful. We are indeed too weak.
Looking at him with a somewhat disdainful expression, the old man sitting next to him became excited. In this store, the most talkative person was this skinny old man. From the moment he entered the store to eat, the old man's mouth started to twitch.
He didn't stop either. He wasn't just chasing Yin either.
Gui Hong said alone, but he was wandering around in the lobby. Some other customers asked the waiter to chase him away, and the waiter was also in trouble. They explained that this old man was the shopkeeper's father, and his brain was not very normal in the first place.
The strange things in the past few days have frightened me even more.
According to this...the thing about strange powers and deranged gods still really exists?
After eating, he deliberately looked for some places and asked around, and he actually got some clues. To say that this town is not a frontier place, the transportation is relatively convenient, and the people are simple, and no one can think of anyone.
What bad things have they done? But when they hear ghosts, people will definitely
To find out the reason, they speculated and slandered each other, causing great unrest in the town. What kind of ghosts were they? Some people said they were zombies walking in the town at night, one after another, looking very neat and interesting.
People are afraid. Some people say that it is because of the fight last year.
The living corpses caused a stir in the first place because some people saw them acting alone and attacking others. The former retorted that no one was infected with strange diseases, and no one saw familiar faces among the monsters.
A wave of people objected again, those monsters and ghosts were simply too scary to
Of course, we can't be sure if we are close. Moreover, several people have indeed disappeared in the town in recent days, none of whom are important characters. Of course, there are also people who say that those people have not disappeared at all, but have just gone to other places, or are simply spreading rumors. These words
True and false, difficult to distinguish.
But one thing is certain: something that did not originally belong to this town has appeared, and it does not look like a living person. No one who holds any views will deny this. But in the end, all this has nothing to do with Yin.
What does Guihong have to do with it? He is just passing by here. He has to go on his way and doesn't have time to stay here for too long.
However, he didn't inquire here for nothing.
Where there is trouble, there will be someone to deal with it. If it is something that ordinary people cannot handle, there will be impermanence. He just asked around casually with a sense of luck, and the answer he got was also expected: trouble of this level is not considered
It's not such a big trouble, let alone just a few days after the storm started. I can count the days on two hands. Before it leads to more serious consequences, I'm afraid it's not enough trouble for the Wuchang people to make a special trip.
However, the road Yin Guihong will take next will not follow the main road. The towns in this area are distributed from northwest to southeast. He has to go due south to reach the coast the fastest. But due south will
It is a wasteland, and there will be no towns within a hundred miles, so he needs to make more preparations here. Food and water are the most important things.
, the soles of the shoes were worn too thin, so I had to replace them with a new pair, and the knives also needed some maintenance. Jin Mieya's knife-protecting oil cannot be replaced with ordinary things, but needs to be maintained with highly toxic substances. As for what it is, it doesn't matter.
There are not many requirements. Anyway, no matter what kind of poison it is, it will be absorbed by it. These are what Lord Xueyue once told him.
He felt more and more that Jin Mieya, as a cold weapon, seemed to exist in another form of life. The venom was its food, and those it preyed on had no chance of survival.
Lily of the valley, bark of nux vomica, castor beans, acacia seeds... these are the things you can buy in this pharmacy. The variety of items here is relatively complete, and there are many items that only onmyojis can use. In ordinary people,
Things that seem too weird. They are easier to carry, and
The price is moderate. Apart from the shopkeeper and a little boy who grinds medicine, there are only two customers in the pharmacy. The other customer seems to have finished shopping and is holding a medicine bag in his hand. For some reason, he hasn't gone out yet. When Yin Guihong was about to leave with his things
At that moment, the guest spoke.
"You're not really going to use them to extract oil, are you?"
Is it a woman? Yin Guihong turned his head and found that the man who was slightly taller than him and wearing a light-colored curtain seemed to be looking at him. He thought it was a thinner man. Logically speaking, he didn't do it.
It would be easiest to ignore it and just walk away, so as not to waste your words. But he still said out of nowhere: "No."
No... this is not an aberration. This woman is so strange. How could she try to guess her own purpose? Would she pay attention to every other guest she passes by? This is impossible. Yin Guihong slightly wants to know.
The reason, but even if the other party doesn't mention a word, he won't ask or care.
"But you do intend to use them as knife-protecting oil."
"..."
The two came to an open place. The sun was about to set, and people were walking in a hurry, eager to go home for dinner before dark. Only Yin Guihong and the female guest were carrying their own medicine bags and walking slowly like a stroll.
With.
"Where did your sword come from? I won't ask. I guess many people have asked about it over the years."
Not many years... I just got it not long ago. Yin Guihong wanted to tell the truth, but he felt that being too honest with strangers whom he met by chance might not be a good thing. So he didn't say much, just
He simply said "hmm" with his nose. His eyes moved to the woman's scabbard and stayed there for a moment.
"Senior, you don't look like a gas buyer."
"It's just medicine you always have."
"...That sword of yours," Yin Guihong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What is it made of? I don't think it is a magic weapon of six paths, but it still looks interesting."
"Oh?" the woman paused, "How can you see that?"
"The material of the handle and the scabbard do not match. Moreover, the pattern on the ring-headed knife is different from the pattern on the scabbard. It seems that the blade should be the same as the handle, in an older style, but the scabbard
The pattern above is a common pattern in the past two years. There are also differences between the two in terms of craftsmanship, but I haven’t touched it myself, so I’m not sure.”
The woman didn't say much. She directly pulled out the knife. There was a clang of metal friction, and the full picture of the ring-shou knife appeared in front of him. Yin Guihong had some experience and recognized the copper material at a glance. He couldn't help but be shocked. This senior
You are so rude. Who would walk around the world with a blade made of this kind of material? Yin Guihong can be regarded as a person who understands current affairs. He knows who should be polite to whom and who does not need to be polite. And he is polite to him.
He naturally treats people with courtesy, and vice versa. In other words, he is actually very simple in this regard. As for the woman next to him, he also judged some clues from the beginning. She had calluses on her hands.
The position, the calmness in her voice, and the silent steps all revealed her unfathomability. She reminded Yin Guihong of his deceased adoptive father... Although it is a bit strange to have such an association from a woman.
.
Not meeting her on the battlefield is a good thing for herself. She must be able to see that she can only be regarded as a fledgling novice, although Yin Guihong has been trying his best to hide this. Almost everyone who has fought against her
Many people think that they are very sophisticated and hide their secrets. In fact, this is not the case.
They are all trying to avoid conflicts with others. It’s not that they can’t beat them, but it’s just unnecessary, a waste of time and energy. Most people are just unknown people, and you won’t learn much even if you fight them. However,
If he could get the opportunity to be given some advice from an expert, he would not let it go.
"If we were to meet with swords, how sure do you think I would be?" Yin Guihong suddenly asked.
"If you were holding an ordinary weapon, I would probably think you were humiliating yourself." The woman was not polite, "But you are holding Jin Mieya, so I can't draw a hasty conclusion."
"You mean, we still need to fight each other before we can decide?" Yin Guihong felt a little strange, "Aren't you worried that I stole and borrowed the knife from somewhere else?"
"That's also...your ability. People who can get the Six Paths Divine Weapon will not be so stupid as to let others take the weapon away casually. Even if they borrow it, they will only lend it to people with the same qualifications.
Or at least the friendship is deep enough. You may have obtained it from others, either your ability or your connections. If you don’t have the skills, I have to consider your background. All of this is also part of your strength."
Yin Guihong noticed that she would occasionally pause when speaking, as if she was organizing her words, but she would react quickly. Those unnecessary hesitations were not worth paying attention to, but he still noticed it.
It's harmless.
"I have benefited a lot from your words."
This is true. Yin Guihong himself would not think so much. At least it takes time to realize these things, and it will not become a habit like this woman. How old is she...? Her voice can't be heard, and her face can't be heard.
Can't see clearly.
It was going to be dark soon, and the light in the west moved reluctantly. Yin Guihong said sincerely:
"I'm interested in discussing with you. Can you give me some advice?"
"Next time we meet, we may be enemies. Those who hold the Six Paths Divine Weapon will not be taken lightly. The last time I heard of someone using Jin Shou Ya, it was a hundred years ago. That man became the king of the world.
After a while, I ended up losing my life. You have to be especially careful when you first enter the world. I still have relatives and friends waiting for you, so take the first step."
As he was talking, there seemed to be someone standing on the T-shaped intersection in front of him. There was still some distance between the two of them, but his outline could already be seen clearly. The man was motionless. He didn't know when he appeared.
The right side faced the road the two were walking, looking at the unknown things ahead. Then, he suddenly ran away and disappeared at the intersection.
The woman suddenly picked up the knife and followed him, incredibly fast.
Yin Guihong may know why she chased after her, because even he noticed that the person had no human aura. Whether it was a zombie or a ghost, it had nothing to do with Yin Guihong. After all, that woman still had friends.
Are you waiting? Just chase after her like this, is it really okay?
Just as he was thinking about it, he took a few steps forward when another black figure rushed out from the left side of the intersection, passed by in a flash, and sped away in the direction of the previously lifeless man.
