Outside Guming County, somewhere in a deserted deep forest.
In a cave, the walls of the cave are densely covered with scarlet runes. The runes present a twisted posture, as if the claws of an evil ghost are climbing on the ground, as if they are struggling, but they are just.
Witnessing it makes people feel manic and vicious, and seems to be able to arouse the deepest malice in people's hearts.
At this moment, a figure was sitting cross-legged in the cave.
This figure is wearing a black cloak, and it is difficult to see his appearance clearly. Although he is sitting cross-legged on the ground, it can be seen that this figure is short and looks like a six or seven-year-old child, and the figure is exposed from under the cloak.
Her plump and tender arms are as white as green onions and are no different from those of a child.
In front of this person, there is a statue.
This statue is made of black clay and is about a foot tall. Because there is no trace of coloring, it can only be vaguely seen that the statue is wearing a plain skirt. It looks like a middle-aged woman, with a high crown and high eyes.
Narrowed into a gap, with a kind smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he was not much different from the various "old mother" statues in ordinary religions.
The only difference is that there is a third eye between the eyebrows of this statue. This eye is scarlet, as if it is alive. There are black lines in the pupil, which outlines strange lines.
It can be clearly seen that the statue is broken, with cracks all over its body, and its limbs are missing in many places, as if it had been broken into pieces and then glued together again.
Hoo ho ho!!
The two small palms of the cloaked man sitting cross-legged in the cave formed strange marks, and streams of Yuan Qi escaped from his body, condensing into the shape of ghosts with gloomy and ferocious faces in mid-air. Some of them were in the air.
They floated in the air for a while, then merged into the blood-colored patterns on the cave wall and disappeared, while some suddenly poked their bodies out from the blood-colored patterns and converged towards the statue.
It seems that he is picking up something and repairing the statue.
Suddenly, the cloaked man who was sitting cross-legged suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the entrance of the cave. He had set up a barrier to cover it with a formation, making it difficult for even a master of magical powers to detect it.
Soon, he seemed to confirm something, and the seal in his hand changed.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
This figure is extremely tall, like an iron tower and a mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
This person also wore a black cloak, covering his appearance.
"Has the mark been released?"
The short cloaked man said to the tall cloaked man, his voice was as clear and clear as a child's.
"Well, the Guming County City God is not in place yet. It's easy to do things. Disguise yourself as a low-level evil spirit, which is enough to deceive people for a while. It mainly depends on the situation here. If it is damaged like this, can it still be used?"
The tall cloaked man said slowly, his voice was dull, as if there was an accent, and his eyes turned to the broken sculpture in front of the dwarf.
"Although it is broken, the essential landmark is still there, and after the last advent, the underworld has been stabilized. The current level is naturally not as good as before, but the secret is better, even better than most events. As long as the blood food is gradually accumulated,
At least they are of the 'Red Resentment' level, and even reach the intensity of the 'Black Evil' level incident."
The dwarf cloaked man said calmly.
"In this way, it seems a bit wasteful to push it out to attract attention."
The tall cloaked man said.
"There is no way. The layout of Guming County was accidentally exposed, which attracted the attention of the Wei Dynasty. Tianluosi's secrets are all over Heqing Road. All the five sects of Heqing are more or less capable. In recent years, the Chixin sect has been in decline.
The layout of other places cannot be compromised. Since the one in Guming County has been exposed, we can only use the waste and push it out as a shield to attract attention."
The dwarf cloaked man said calmly, and then he slowly stood up from the ground. With a slight wave of his sleeves, the sculpture on the ground disappeared.
Then, he pinched it in his hand. The red spell squirmed as if alive. With him as the center, it slowly crawled into his black cloak and disappeared... on the shoulders of the tall cloaked man.
"Let's go. Other places on Heqing Road are still waiting for us to spread the signs. Where there is a city god, it's not as easy as here."
The dwarf cloaked man said.
"It's really troublesome."
The tall cloaked man said.
"After the cards are revealed and the Heqing Road falls into our hands, it will be much easier to do things."
The dwarf cloaked man said.
On the other side, within Guming County.
Under the leadership of Chen Zhanyun, Zhao Xuanqi and others continued to run around the city and dealt with several low-level evil incidents. It was almost dusk and it was finally time for them to rest. During this period, after the strange behavior of the previous yes-men
, Chen Zhanyun did not let them take action alone again, but that incident seemed to be just an accident, and the incidents they encountered afterwards were relatively normal.
After a day of running around, both Shen Hong and Peng Lin looked tired. Fortunately, the treatment for the mission was very good. After each mission, they could receive blood-strengthening pills to restore their physical strength.
In the process of stimulating and supplementing, their cultivation levels improved faster than before.
Night was coming soon. After returning to the station, several people said goodbye to each other and left, returning to their rooms to rest.
For them, the task of eliminating troubles is already a practice in itself, so they do not need to undergo night training like other new disciples.
Back in the room, Zhao Xuanqi sat on the bed. After confirming that there was no other movement around him, he was about to use Life Qi to strengthen the body and improve the state of the Hundred Beast Fist.
However, he soon stopped practicing and frowned slightly.
For some reason, he always had a strange feeling, which was a faint sense of crisis. It had existed since the yes-man incident this morning, and as time went by, that sense of crisis seemed to be gradually increasing?
"what's going on?"
Zhao Xuanqi took a deep breath. From his exposure to evil dangers these days, the strangeness of the world's hidden dangers has penetrated into his heart. He is at the bottom of the power, lacks sufficient self-protection ability, and even suddenly dies suddenly.
uncertain.
The evil incidents we encountered today are the best examples. The victims did nothing at all, and disasters fell from the sky.
He had not felt this uneasy for a long time in two worlds.
"Perhaps my decision was wrong. There is no problem in slowly gaining a deeper understanding of the world, but slowly regaining strength is not the right choice."
"It seems it's time to speed up."
Zhao Xuanqi took a deep breath.
Now he is more familiar with the method of using the life energy left in the Jade of Reincarnation. It is a step-by-step process that can ensure that the life energy is not wasted. With the current strength of life energy, according to this method, even after reincarnation
He lost a lot in the process, but it was still enough for him to break through the divine general and complete the body change.
But this method is slower. According to his estimation, it will take at least about a year to fully recover his strength.
In addition, there is another way, which is more radical and can accelerate the improvement of strength, but it will waste life energy. The more accelerated, the more waste and the greater the consumption.
Now, he is preparing to use the latter method for promotion.
He suppressed the lingering sense of crisis in his heart, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to mobilize the life energy of the Jade of Reincarnation to enter a state of practice.
boom!!
The qi and blood in his body surged wildly, the muscles of his body swelled, and the veins burst. If he hadn't deliberately suppressed it, the movement caused by the flow of qi and blood would have been noticed by people in the surrounding rooms.
Time passed, and outside, a bright moon rose, gradually climbing toward the top of the sky.
There was silence in Guming County. Ordinary people did not dare to leave their homes at night. Every house was closed. Only the patrol team composed of people from the Yamen and the Chixin Sect patrolled everywhere in the city with torches.
But at this moment, Zhao Xuanqi, who was practicing in the room, felt a faint sense of sleepiness coming over him, and he felt a little dazed.
For him, this is almost impossible. With his spirit, he shouldn't feel sleepy even if he stays awake.
He suddenly woke up and wanted to stand up, but found that his body was out of control at all, as if he had encountered a nightmare and was being held down by a ghost.
The unstoppable sleepiness continued to arise, and he was in a trance. In confusion, his consciousness fell into chaos and he fell asleep.
I do not know how long it has been.
Swish! Swish!
Kaka! Kaka!
A strange sound echoed in the room and entered Zhao Xuanqi's mind, causing him to wake up suddenly and open his eyes.
The confused consciousness quickly returned, and his vision was dim.
The furnishings of the room were the same as before, except that the oil lamp had been extinguished at some point, making the surroundings eerie.
"I am asleep?"
Zhao Xuanqi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. Even if he fell asleep, the oil lamp should not be extinguished.
Swish! Swish!
Kaka! Kaka!
A slight noise was heard, and Zhao Xuanqi suddenly became alert and looked in the direction of the sound.
It's the window in the room.
At this time, a light red light came from outside the paper window, and the window sash shook slightly, revealing a slight gap.
A circular shadow was reflected on the paper window. From the gap in the window, a scarlet eye and blue-black skin were revealed. That eye was peering at him through the gap, with ferociousness, cruelty and joy in its eyes.
Mixed look.
Zhao Xuanqi's pupils suddenly shrank.
next moment.
Bang!!
There was a muffled sound, and the window instantly exploded under the huge force, and the owner of the eyes broke through the window and entered.
Zhao Xuanqi clearly saw that this was an ugly monster.
The whole body is green and black in color, the skin is shriveled and wrinkled, the limbs are slender, the fingers are as sharp as blades, the hair is sparse on the huge head, the fangs are ferocious, and the eyes are red.
Blue-faced ghosts, Ding and other higher-level evils, belong to the category of demons and ghosts, with visible evil spirits, corpse poison in their ten fingers, and they like to eat flesh and blood.
In an instant, the information corresponding to this monster appeared in Zhao Xuanqi's mind.
According to legend, green-faced ghosts are the result of aggregation of resentment. They are a common type among demons and ghosts. Their bodies are hard and difficult to be harmed by swords.
However, it is impossible for such tangible evil spirits to hide in the city, let alone enter the residence and sneak into his room.
Zhao Xuanqi's mind flashed with lightning, and the next moment, the green-faced ghost rushed toward him, its sharp claws streaking across the night sky.
It would be difficult for other new disciples to block this speed of attack, but Zhao Xuanqi was not among them.
brush!!
With a flash of his body, he sprang out like a monkey, from the bed to the corner of the room in an instant.
brush!!
Black light flashed, and the wooden bed he was on was instantly cut into several pieces.
The green-faced ghost did not stop at all, and immediately rushed towards Zhao Xuanqi again.
"Demons and monsters!!"
Zhao Xuanqi let out a low drink, his energy and blood suddenly surging.
Bang!!
His entire upper body was filled with blood and swelled, entering a state of being covered by a surge of air. His figure instantly increased by more than ten centimeters, and the terrifying muscles on his body nearly burst the clothes on his body instantly.
This terrifying change made even the attacking green-faced ghost slightly stunned, but then a greedy look appeared on his face, and he rushed towards Zhao Xuanqi even more excitedly.
This strong flesh and blood must be extremely delicious!!
Zhao Xuanqi looked cold and stern, biting the tip of his tongue suddenly and spraying bright red blood on his hands.
Later.
Snapped!!
His hands suddenly clasped together, and the muscles in his palms wriggled like waves, and the blood instantly condensed. When the palms were separated again, two blood qi talismans had appeared on his palms.
Tear!!
The green-faced ghost's ghost claws cut through the air, making a terrifying sound of breaking through the air, while Zhao Xuanqi's huge body showed an unimaginable lightness at this time.
With a step and a contraction of his body, he once again avoided the green-faced ghost's attack and appeared behind it.
"die!!"
Zhao Xuanqi made a single palm seal, and blood all over his body surged crazily toward his palms. The blood qi talisman on his palms suddenly burst into dazzling light, spreading from his palms to his entire upper body, shining like blood jade.
The palm falls.
Bang!!
There was a dull sound, and fiery blood filled the room, even breaking through the window and beaming outside.
Swish carefully!!
Soon there was movement outside the house, including a head flying in the air, a weird man on all fours with his joints bent, and a ghost in white with translucent hair hanging loose.
Several evil spirits entered the room through the window, and the only thing that caught their eyes was the green-faced ghost lying on the ground.
At this time, the green-faced ghost, who is a Ding-level superior and can compete with the peak cultivators of the Zhuangxue Realm, has lost his entire invulnerable upper body, and his lower body is lying on the ground, with smoke still coming from the wound and a burned body.
trace.
This is the destructive effect of blood Qi on evil spirits.
Feeling the residual blood in the room, several evil spirits showed greedy emotions, looked at the open windows in the room, and quickly chased out.
At the same time, Zhao Xuanqi, who was standing on the beam, saw all this in his eyes. Just now, he used his powerful body control to instantly smooth out the fluctuations in energy and blood, and restrained the fluctuations in his own life energy.
Normally, people in the Zhuangxue realm cannot do this, but for Zhao Xuanqi, it is no problem.
Feeling those evil spirits walking away, he concentrated for a moment to make sure there was no other weird sense of crisis around him. Zhao Xuanqi lightly jumped down from the beam, carefully walked out of the door, and looked to the outside world.
"This is."
His pupils shrank instantly.
Outside, the houses are dilapidated and the sky is gloomy. The whole world seems to be covered with a dark and dilapidated filter, and there is an eerie and terrifying atmosphere everywhere.
The most eye-catching thing is the moon that is about to climb to its highest point in the sky.
The moon is light red, and there are black lines on it that gather into strange runes.
