"It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying!"
On the fourth day of April in the 14th year of the original calendar, the pattering light rain spread all over the earth, casting a layer of darkness on the lush earth. People walked through the muddy sadness to the graves of their relatives to pay homage and remember the souls that had passed away.
.
After the origin, some people recovered the bodies of their relatives and buried them in cemeteries. During this Qingming Festival, sparse crowds can be seen everywhere on these graveyards, either talking in low voices or choking softly, as if the earth was covered with corpses.
Soaked in sadness!
Zhang San was also a small member of countless people. According to the practice of previous years, he came to the graves of his wife and daughter on Qingming Festival. After paying homage, he squatted in front of the graves and softly confided the hardships and longings of the widows.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he felt cold to the bone. He couldn't help shivering, and the hairs on his body stood up immediately. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his body had been drenched by the light rain. He knew it was time to leave, and then
Lower your head and say goodbye to your loved ones.
I stood up, packed my things, and was about to lift my legs to leave when I suddenly felt my left foot sinking, followed by a burst of heartbreaking pain, and I couldn't help but exhale with a painful "ah" sound.
He quickly looked down and saw a big white hand grabbing his ankle. No, to be precise, it should be a hand bone! Five finger bones were deeply inserted into the flesh, and his left foot was already dripping with blood.
Under the severe pain, he quickly stepped on it with his right foot and tried to break away. However, as soon as his right foot fell, it was caught by the bone of the other hand extending from the ground. Along with the heartbreaking pain, a chilly air flow invaded the whole body.
He wanted to shout for help, but found that he was speechless, and the expression of fear and despair instantly solidified on his face.
I saw that Zhang San's body quickly turned into a corpse, slowly shriveled up, and the flesh and blood in his body turned into juice and flowed into the hand bones.
When there was only a layer of flesh and bones left on Zhang San's body, the bone hands let go of his ankles, as if they were suddenly full of power. A pair of bone hands pressed on the ground, and slowly a complete skeleton appeared in front of him.
standing position.
In the two holes for the eyes of the skull, two groups of green fire glowed. Suddenly the green fire flickered violently like a resurrection. A trace of bright red blood suddenly flowed on the white skeleton. Slowly, the surface of the skeleton
Lines of blood veins appeared, and then the movement stopped.
"Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!" A low strange cry came from his throat: "I finally came to the earth. Damn, what an unlucky thing! It turns out to be the skeleton of a woman!"
Then he put a pair of green eyes on Zhang San, and two balls of green fire immediately poured into his skull. After a while, the skeleton wrapped in stir-fried human skin stood up, pulled the skeleton of the woman just now, put it into his mouth and chewed loudly
stand up.
After a while, it completely ate the huge skeleton, and then the deep and strange voice rang again: "Little ones, wake up!"
The voice was low and weak, as if it came from hell!
As soon as its voice fell, skeletons emerged from the surrounding graves one after another, followed by the sounds of people's chaotic footsteps, screams and miserable cries.
The same scenes are constantly playing out in this southwest land...
…
For a time, ghosts were rampant and all living beings were in ruins. Naturally, cultivators could not stand by and watch, and various sects sent teams one after another.
The Taoist Sect and the Emei Buddhist Sect were located in this area where ghosts were rampant, so naturally they were the first to bear the brunt. They quickly organized a team of monks to wipe out the ghosts.
After several days of investigation, various sects discovered that although the number of these ghosts that appeared recently is terrifying, they have only begun to acquire spiritual intelligence, and the highest cultivation level is only equivalent to that of early condensation monks.
It's just that its cultivation level is growing quite rapidly, which cannot be measured by the common sense of cultivation in this world. The sooner it is eradicated, the better, so it is decided to increase the intensity and eradicate it in one fell swoop.
The Zhengyi Sect organized a total of three teams, led by Elder Liu Ping and Liu, second senior brother Zhang Zhongzhi and third senior brother Zhang Zhongxin.
Zhang Yun and Rufeng were assigned to the second senior brother's group. Zhang Zhengjun was also assigned to this group, which made Rufeng feel depressed. There were also three outer disciples from the middle Juyuan period, a total of seven people.
When it comes to the art of catching ghosts, if Zhengyi Sect ranks second in this world, then no one would dare to rank first, because this is what his ancestor, Zhang Tianshi, used to make a living in his early years.
Before everyone went out to catch ghosts, Leader Zhang gave everyone a lot of spiritual stones, elixirs and medium and low-level spiritual talismans.
In particular, the various spiritual talismans are the perfect choice for catching ghosts. Low-level spiritual talismans such as ghost-trapping talismans, ghost-fixing talismans, appearance talismans, and tracking talismans are practical and fast, making the monks invincible along the way and destroying countless low-level ghosts.
Slowly, the more people killed, the more frightened they became. Not only did they feel that these ghosts were inexhaustible, but as time passed, ghosts with advanced cultivation levels appeared more and more frequently;
There are also some ghosts who actually take away the spiritual treasures from the monks they kill and use them for their own use. Their intelligence is really jaw-dropping!
In the battle just now, a group of ghosts appeared, including a late-stage liquid condensation ghost. Before everyone could retreat, they were already surrounded in the center.
In the ensuing fighting, a junior fellow from the outer sect died and was devoured by the ghosts that swarmed over him. In grief, everyone worked together to kill most of the ghosts.
After a bloody battle, Zhang Yun and the other six were all seriously injured. The ghost in the late stage of liquid condensation saw that the situation was over and wanted to run away. Seeing that the second senior brother's cultivation was unable to stop it, in desperation, he activated two precious intermediate spiritual talismans one after another.
After trapping the ghost, everyone quickly gathered around and used their spirit treasures to eradicate it together.
Although everyone won, the price they paid was too high. One member of the team died and six were injured. While everyone was grieving, they cleaned the battlefield, picked up the pieces of clothing and other relics of the deceased junior brother, and carefully collected them until they returned to the door.
It's easy to arrange funeral arrangements.
The six of them rested for three days in a small mountain village. After recovering from their injuries, they resumed their journey to eliminate demons and defend the Way.
However, no ghosts were found after two days, and everyone couldn't help but become suspicious: "Have all the ghosts been swept away? Looking at the number of ghosts before, this situation is not very likely! Could it be..."
Finally on the third day, Zhang Yun and others met a group of Buddhist monks, and after asking about it, they understood the reason.
It turns out that in the recent period, ghosts have been losing successive battles with monks and have been killed countless times. Some ghosts with relatively high intelligence among them reacted and fled into the mountains with the ghosts in succession.
There is ample time.
The monks from all sides had entered the mountain one after another to eliminate them, so Zhang Yun and his group of six people also chose a direction and followed them deep into the mountain.
Ten days later, the six people were exhausted after several battles, and their bodies were more or less stained. However, they had gained a lot in the past few days. Each of them had several more souls obtained from ghosts.
precious.
This shows that the losses of the major sects are also very serious.
The six people inadvertently walked into a small valley. The people who had just experienced the war were exhausted, and their true energy was almost exhausted. They all sat down to restore their true energy and check their injuries.
The wound on Zhang Yun's right arm has scabbed off on its own, and his recovery ability is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. Seeing the tired expressions of everyone, he quickly acted as a guard.
He kept looking at the surrounding environment with his eyes, and saw that the place where the six people were was near the entrance of the valley. The valley was surrounded by mountains. Although the valley was not small, there was no other exit except the entrance that they just entered. It was simply
Like a gourd split in the middle.
The "Prime Number" obtained by Zhang Yun was also accompanied by an article called "Tai Gong's Art of War", which was written by Huang Shigong, the teacher of his ancestor Zhang Liang. It includes military formations, mind attack techniques, astronomy and geography, etc. It is simply all-encompassing and exhausts the changes in the world.
When he had nothing to do, he had also read it thoroughly and studied it in detail for several years in the broken world space. Although he could not say that he had completely mastered it, he still knew some basic common sense by heart.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but move in my heart: "This place is obviously a dangerous place. If there is a group of ghosts blocking the gourd mouth, with the current physical condition of the six of us, there is no way to fly away from the air, so we can only do
A turtle in a urn?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted: "No, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Everyone, get up and get out of the valley!"
Everyone stood up quickly. After listening to Zhang Yun's simple explanation, they felt that they were negligent and quickly ran out of the valley.
Just after walking about ten meters, a row of more than 20 ghosts suddenly blocked the entrance of the valley. Everyone secretly thought something was wrong and quickly released magic weapons and spiritual treasures to prepare to meet the enemy.
In front of more than twenty white skeletons, two red skeletons stood. Judging from the degree of recovery of flesh and blood of these two skeletons and the color of the green fire in the eye holes, based on past experience, it can be judged that these two skeletons are as powerful as condensed ones.
The ghosts in the late liquid stage each hold a good magic weapon in their hands, and the skeletons behind them all have Ju Yuan middle and late cultivation levels.
The six people couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. The second senior brother Zhang Zhongzhi quickly waved his hand, and with an intermediate talisman, the flame prison, under the urging of the true essence, laid a one-meter-wide fire wall at the mouth of the valley with a span of more than ten meters, and then shouted to everyone
Retreat into the valley.
"Everyone, don't be stingy with the spiritual stones you have. Give me the middle-grade spiritual stones and absorb them quickly to restore your true energy. The wall of fire can't stop it for a moment or three. Wait, listen to my order and rush out together!"
As soon as the second senior brother finished speaking, he quickly sat cross-legged and absorbed a medium-grade spiritual stone in one hand. Everyone also took out the spiritual stone and meditated to recover.
Under the orders of two senior ghosts, the ghosts attacked the fire wall desperately, but they did not dare to touch the fire wall with their bodies, because as soon as their bodies were touched, the flames would stick to the bones and burn quickly until they were completely extinguished.
There were two or three skeletons, their bodies sizzling with flames, but their bodies continued to attack.
As the ghosts attacked, the color of the fire wall gradually darkened...
Just when the six people had just absorbed less than one-third of the spiritual power in the spirit stone, the two leading ghosts could no longer hold their breath. They walked to the wall of fire in a few steps and reached out to grab the two skeletons next to them.
The ghost threw it into the wall of fire, stepped on his companion, and jumped over. The ghosts also quickly followed. The poor two stepping stones struggled for a moment in the wall of fire. They turned into ashes with a "bang", and the wall of fire
