This is Guming County, but it is not Guming County.
Zhao Xuanqi was very familiar with the surrounding buildings, but the gloomy environment, the dead silence and lifeless atmosphere, the strange moon in the sky, and the sudden appearance of evil spirits just now, all showed that things were not simple.
He said nothing, and concentrated on feeling the surrounding situation for a while. After confirming that there was no danger, he ducked to the nearby door, held the doorknob, and shook his head lightly.
With a click, the door lock was broken by his force, and he slowly pushed the door open.
This is also the room of a new disciple. The room is clean and tidy, with no strangers present and no signs of fighting.
He slowly exited the room, this time his target was Shen Hong's room not far from his room.
Following the same pattern, after opening the door, he found that the scene in Shen Hong's room was similar to the previous room, with no trace of strangers.
He frowned slightly.
Swish carefully!
At this moment, there was another movement outside the room. Zhao Xuanqi was immediately alert and jumped onto the beam again.
Soon, the sound got closer and closer, and the outline of a figure was reflected from outside the paper window of the room.
This figure seems to be a female, with an extremely explosive upper body curve and loose hair. However, the outline of the figure is larger than that of a normal adult male, and the walking posture also looks a bit weird. The lower body does not seem to be a human, but a reptile. Creeping.
When the monster passed by the window, it suddenly stopped.
Zhao Xuanqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his will controlled his life energy to shrink as much as possible. The beating of his heart almost stopped, and his whole body seemed to be dead.
The monster stayed outside the window for a while, seemingly not sensing anything unusual, and then slowly left.
"It's another new evil spirit, and it seems to be stronger than the ones we encountered before. The outside world doesn't know how many of these ghosts there are. This is really a ghost town."
Zhao Xuanqi thought to himself and began to think at the same time.
"Everything started after the yes man's mission to eliminate the problem. What I am experiencing now should be related to that strange yes man? Shen Hong didn't show up, so Chen Zhanyun and Peng Lin most likely won't show up either. Am I the only one? ?Is it because I killed the yes-man, or was it that I was touched by it and triggered something?"
"Before, I felt a sense of crisis slowly approaching, but I couldn't find the source. Now it seems that I was inexplicably pulled into this ghost town. At the end of my consciousness, I felt sleepy and fell asleep. I appeared here after I died. Is it a dream? It doesn't seem like it, or it's not completely. I can feel the real existence of life energy. This cannot be faked."
Then, he felt himself again, and slightly expanded his will, feeling the surrounding environment, and his brows tightened even more.
He actually couldn't feel the fluctuations of heaven and earth's energy, as if this world had isolated him from the normal world.
He jumped down from the rafters and returned to his room. He found that some of the dry food originally stored in the room had disappeared, and the special cinnabar was nowhere to be found.
"Sure enough, although this seems to be Guming County, it is like another world. Here, after physical strength and Yuan Qi are consumed, they cannot be replenished. It seems that the hidden dangers of evil sacrifices in Guming County have not been solved before.
Completely resolved.”
Zhao Xuanqi's expression was a little gloomy. Such a ghost place was beyond his understanding. He didn't know whether he was just trapped here temporarily or whether he would be unable to get out for a long time.
He concentrated on sensing and communicating with the jade of reincarnation.
Perhaps it was because the Jade of Reincarnation was one with his consciousness, or perhaps the Jade of Reincarnation's boundary-breaking power could not shield even this hellish place, and the Jade of Reincarnation responded to his call just by being a little stagnant.
This made him feel a little relieved. With the Jade of Reincarnation, the life energy and merit points can be used. At least it seems that it is not a desperate situation yet.
Then the merit records caught his attention.
Merits: one good deed, three meritorious deeds and six gains
"The merit of obtaining the character position has increased? Is it because I killed the green-faced ghost just now?"
Zhao Xuanqi's expression flashed slightly.
Even if the merits are not shown in the record, they will still be accumulated, but there is still a certain gap between him and the accumulation of merits.
"Can a mere superior like Ding be able to contribute so much merit?"
Zhao Xuanqi thought.
In the previous life, the restricted saint species could barely provide a single amount of merit. The green-faced ghost just now, equivalent to the strength of the peak of Henglian, actually provided nearly one-third of the accumulated merit.
Is it caused by the differences in the world?
"If so, maybe it's an opportunity."
Zhao Xuanqi secretly said.
Merit points can be obtained from it, and the Jade of Reincarnation can be used. Even if he stays for a long time, he will not face a big survival crisis.
However, this place is too weird after all. If possible, it is better to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
Zhao Xuanqi pondered for a moment, then gathered his breath and left the room, preparing to explore the city first.
He used his powerful body control to contain his life energy as much as possible, and using his proficient lurking method, he began to slowly explore the city.
Within the residence alone, Zhao Xuanqi found no less than ten evil spirits wandering around. Most of them were demons and ghosts, and only a small part were invisible spirits. It can be said that they were all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes. Some of them were in Hua Guangcan.
Among the common types taught in the course, there were also types that he had never seen before.
At the same time, he also saw the monster that was peeping at him from the window of Shen Hong's room before.
The body was like a snake, and the curves of the naked body exploded. However, the face was ferocious and twisted, with a total of six pairs of eyes, and a bloody mouth that almost stretched to the back of the head, making it look extremely ugly.
Based on his own will and the early warning of the will of the beasts, and comparing it with the green-faced ghost he encountered before, Zhao Xuanqi roughly judged that the threat level of these evil spirits was above the intermediate level of Ding, and some even faintly exceeded the level of Ding.
, and this is on the premise that the other party has not shown any evil and strange abilities.
"With my current strength, combined with the blood energy talisman, I won't have much problem against any of them, but it will be very troublesome when there are more than one. These evil spirits are very sensitive to the induction of life energy. Once they make any noise, they will be killed in a short time.
There will definitely be a large number of evil spirits coming, and once the battle is delayed, we will be overwhelmed by the opponent's numbers."
Soon, Zhao Xuanqi left the new disciple's camp, preparing to explore the entire neighborhood before making any plans.
Leaving the station, various weird evil spirits roam the streets from time to time. If ordinary people suddenly enter this environment, even if they are not frightened to death, they will be swallowed up by strong despair and lose the desire to survive.
However, Zhao Xuanqi was not one of them. He carefully explored the neighborhood, memorized the characteristics of various evil spirits, and sensed their approximate strength and threat.
Suddenly, he saw a figure flashing past in the corner of the street.
stranger?
Zhao Xuanqi narrowed his eyes and immediately followed quietly.
"Looking back at the prosperity, it is like a dream, and the rest of my life is a blur~~"
Just within a certain range where the figure disappeared, Zhao Xuanqi heard a burst of ups and downs in his ears, as if someone was singing an opera, and there was also a faint accompaniment of gongs and drums.
At the same time, the sound seemed to have special magic power, tempting him to get closer and listen.
Zhao Xuanqi was instantly alert and far away from the range of the sound. At the same time, he lurked from another direction, climbed to the top of a house far away opposite the place where the figure disappeared, and looked in that direction.
In the gloomy darkness, there was light coming from there.
Zhao Xuanqi saw a wooden platform about one meter high standing there. There was a curtain on the platform, and a faint light came from behind the curtain, reflecting the dancing figures on it.
It's a shadow puppet.
The melodious tone and accompanying music came vaguely. It was like a shadow puppet show stall performing on the street. Benches were placed around the stage, and Zhao Xuanqi saw the sparse faces of strangers on those benches.
figure.
There were about seven or eight people, all dressed in different styles. Some were wearing silk and satin, which looked like they belonged to wealthy families, while some were wearing coarse cloth and looked like ordinary people.
In this strange environment, it is a strange thing in itself for these people to sit and listen to the play attentively.
And soon, Zhao Xuanqi discovered that among the people listening to the play, one person's body seemed to have leaked air. It was rapidly drying up, as if all the flesh and blood had been sucked dry in an instant, leaving only human skin slowly falling on the long body.
on the stool, and the human skin is gradually shrinking.
Finally, it turned into the size of a shadow puppet, suddenly stood up from the bench, jumped towards the stage, disappeared after disappearing into the stage.
"Is it an evil thing? This thing is very dangerous. It can affect me from such a distance. I have to stay away from it in a short time. But it also made me sure of one thing. I am not the only stranger here. Maybe I can find it.
Someone who understands the situation.”
Zhao Xuanqi frowned slightly, glanced at the stage, memorized this area, and then got off the roof, ready to continue exploring.
After walking through another area, Zhao Xuanqi basically had something in mind.
"The strongest evil spirits currently perceived should be level C or above, and most of them are level D. Just survival should not be a problem."
Bang!!
At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi felt a sudden movement coming from a housing area not far away. There was a faint red light escaping in the darkness. The evil spirits wandering around the streets froze slightly and turned towards the direction of the sound.
Gather.
"Blood Qi?"
Zhao Xuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his body, and quickly rushed in the direction of the noise.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the source of the commotion.
It was in the courtyard of a house. A tall man, with his arms shrouded in a bloody light, was fighting two demons. He was wearing a gray plain robe, which belonged to a disciple of the True Heart Sect.
dress up.
There were two monsters, one of which was the green-faced ghost that Zhao Xuanqi had killed before, and the other was a long-haired ghost who controlled his hair to bind and restrain his enemies.
This man's blood is strong and he should be at the peak of the Strong Blood Realm. However, in the fight between two Ding-level demons and ghosts, it will be difficult to completely eliminate each other for a while, and the sound of their fight quickly attracts the surrounding people.
Evil spirit.
Soon, a gecko-like demon with a human head climbed over the wall. On the other side, there was an invisible ghost holding a steel fork and appearing translucent, like Shura.
As soon as these two evil spirits joined the battle, the tall man immediately showed his defeat and his face was very ugly.
Zhao Xuanqi frowned slightly. He instantly controlled his facial muscles and changed his face. Then without much hesitation, he suddenly took a step forward, and his energy and blood suddenly surged.
He bit the tip of his tongue and spurted a mouthful of blood onto his palms.
Bang!!
The bricks and tiles on the roof exploded, instantly attracting the attention of the men and evil spirits fighting in the courtyard.
I saw a black shadow shooting across the sky, swelling suddenly, and the entire upper body seemed to be filled with blood. The figure's hands were clasped together, and when they were separated again, two bright red magic circuits appeared in the palms.
boom!!
This figure fell from the sky and suddenly fell to the ground.
Boom!!
The man heard a dull sound, and the figure descended from the sky was born from his hands. The blood light, as hot and thick as blood jade, instantly covered half of his body.
Between the lightning and flint, two palms suddenly pushed out towards the two nearest demons.
For a moment, the man seemed to see a terrifying giant beast. Pushing with two palms, it seemed that it could destroy the mountain.
Bang!!
Both palms swelled to the extreme, and the dazzling blood energy instantly spread horizontally. The blood energy left a wave of aftermath, and the body of the invisible Yin spirit that was about to approach suddenly froze, and the chests of the two monsters actually exploded.
For an instant, the man was shocked by the scene in front of him, and his mind went blank.
Is it the blood talisman in the faction?!
But the Blood Qi Talisman is only the most basic technique, suitable for the realm of strengthening blood. How can the power reach such a level?!
Swish!!
While he was stunned, Zhao Xuanqi's figure ran towards another demon ghost. At this moment, he woke up as if from a dream and suddenly attacked another invisible ghost.
And just when he was entangled with the invisible ghost, in less than five seconds, another bang was heard, and another demon ghost was also eliminated, and the figure ran towards him. Under the siege of the two,
The invisible Yin spirit was also killed by Zhao Xuanqi with one palm.
"Walk!"
Zhao Xuanqi said to the man that he had already heard the noise. The blood energy fluctuations here had attracted a large number of evil spirits to surround him, and they would not be able to leave if they didn't leave.
The two of them quickly left the yard and encountered several waves of evil spirits, but they were all thrown away.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuanqi had explored the surrounding area before and understood Xie Sui's branches. With his powerful spiritual sense, he led the tall man to turn left and right, and finally escaped Xie Sui's pursuit and hid in a private house.
The tall man restrained his breath slightly and calmed his heartbeat. Although he could not completely restrain his life energy like Zhao Xuanqi, as long as he didn't make too many movements, the evil spirits would not be easily discovered.
Out of danger, the tall man heaved a sigh of relief, his face showed an expression of surviving a disaster, and he looked at Zhao Xuanqi in surprise.
At this time, his shirt had been stretched out, but traces of the disciples of the True Heart Sect could still be seen in his lower body.
Judging from the strength shown by this person just now, is he a certain senior brother in the sect?
It was definitely not the Strong Blood Realm. He knew all the strong ones among the Zhuang Blood Realm disciples, because he himself was also a leader in the Strong Blood Realm of the Red Heart Sect.
"My lord, Zhong Maolin, thank you very much for saving my life. May I ask your senior brother's name?"
Zhong Maolin raised his hands to Zhao Xuanqi and said.
"Call me Qilin."
Zhao Xuanqi said, and then before Zhong Maolin could speak, he continued to ask: "Do you know what is going on here?"
"I'm not sure. Not long ago, I was patrolling Guming County and suddenly felt a trance. When I regained consciousness, I appeared here. I have never encountered anything like this before."
Speaking of this, Zhong Maolin's face didn't look good.
"Is this your first time coming in too?"
Zhao Xuanqi, who originally thought he could learn some information, was slightly disappointed.
"However, if I guess correctly, this place should be the 'domain'."
