Ling Jing speeded back to the previous inn and retrieved his luggage from the room. Looking at the empty room, there seemed to be a trace of Lian Yi's fragrance in the air that had not dissipated.
He sighed slightly, and his eyes fell on the bed in the wing room again. The messy bedding seemed to still remind him of his previous joy, but at this time, the beauty had already gone away.
Ling Jing stood in the room for a long time, and finally jumped out of the window without disturbing anyone in the inn. After coming out, he walked south without stopping.
In order to completely wipe out the Hengshan lineage, the Songshan Sect spared no effort to send out many masters. The previous ambush on the mountain road was just the first wave of offensive. The continuous probing attacks after that were the real killer moves.
.
"There should be a twenty-eight-storey bunk below." Ling Jing was galloping in the woods nearby. Because his speed was so fast, he left a long string of afterimages in the air.
He had seen that all the disciples of the Hengshan Sect looked very tired, and many of them had been hit by hidden weapons, and their injuries needed to be taken care of. It was expected that they would stop for a while to rest, and only after taking care of the injured would they continue on their way.
So it shouldn't be difficult to catch up with them.
Ling Jing's figure gradually disappeared in the jungle.
In the small town of Erbapu, the Hengshan group saw that such a large town was completely dark, and none of the two rows of houses on both sides of the road had lights on.
There was no one on the street. Occasionally, the night wind blew by, and with a slight whistling sound, a few pieces of yellow paper would float in the air, which seemed to be used to commemorate the dead.
Although the disciples of the Hengshan Sect are all monks, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when they saw these yellow papers floating in the air. Yihe said: "Uncle, the customs of these Fujian people are really weird. Everyone goes to bed so early."
All the disciples whispered, and they all felt that this unusually quiet town was really weird. The size of these twenty-eight shops was actually not small, but why couldn't they see even a candlelight?
Master Dingjing frowned slightly and looked up. In the faint moonlight, she saw a wooden sign with "Twenty-eight Shops" hanging crookedly on the large wooden door in the middle of the road at the entrance of the town.
The corners were tattered and seemed ready to fall off at any time. It creaked when the wind blew it.
She felt more and more that something was wrong, and said: "Everyone, don't mess around. Let's find an inn to stay first."
The Hengshan sect and the nunneries in various places in the Wulin communicate with each other, but there is no nunnery in the 28th shop, so you can't go there to place orders, so you have to find a hotel to stay. The inconvenience is that the common people are quite taboo about nuns, thinking that seeing them is unlucky, and they often
Fortunately, the nuns were used to it and never cared about it.
But I saw that every shop had its doors closed. The twenty-eight shops were big or small, and there were one or two hundred shops. However, at a glance, it turned out to be a dead town.
In the middle of the night, a sliver of moonlight shone down. Everyone turned a corner on the street and saw a white sign in front of a hotel with the four characters "Xian'an Hotel" written on it. However, the door was closed tightly and quietly.
No sound at all.
The female disciple Zheng E immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. This Zheng E was a lay disciple. She had a round face and always smiled. She was well-spoken and very popular. Whenever she had to deal with people along the way, she was always the one to take action.
When other people see a nun, they will reject her.
Zheng E knocked on the door several times, paused for a moment, and knocked again. After a long time, no one answered the door. Zheng E called out: "Uncle of the store, please open the door." Her voice was clear and she was practicing martial arts.
The sound of a person's voice can reach far, so even across several courtyards, you can still hear it.
However, no one in the inn agreed. The situation was obviously very unexpected. Yihe walked forward and put his ear to the door panel. There was no sound in the inn. He turned around and said, "Uncle, there is no one in the inn."
Master Dingjing felt something was wrong. He saw that the store's brand name was very new and the door panels were washed very clean. It definitely didn't look like it was out of business. He said, "Go over and take a look. There must be more than one inn in this town."
After passing dozens of storefronts, there was another "Nan'an Inn". Zheng E knocked on the door, which was exactly the same, but no one answered.
Zheng E turned around and said, "Sister Yi and Senior Sister, how about we go in and take a look?"
Yi Hexing was impatient. After entering this strange town, he already felt uncomfortable. He immediately said: "Okay!" The two of them jumped over the wall and entered, and they landed one after another.
Zheng E was heard shouting from inside: "Is there anyone in the store?" No one answered. The two of them unsheathed their swords and walked into the living room side by side. They then went to the kitchen, stables, and guest rooms in the back and looked around. It turned out that there was no one there.
No, but there is no dust on the table or chairs, and even the tea in a teapot on the table is still lukewarm. It is obvious that the owner here has not been away for too long.
Zheng E opened the door, let Master Dingjing and others in, and explained the situation. Everyone was amazed. Master Dingjing said: "You two, in teams of seven, go to various parts of the town to look around and inquire.
What's the reason? The seven of us must not be separated. If there is any sign of the enemy, we will blow the whistle as a signal."
The disciples agreed and left quickly, leaving only Master Dingjing alone in the living room.
At first, I could hear the footsteps of the disciples, but later there was no sound. The town of Erbapu was so quiet that it made people feel eerie. In such a large town, there was no human voice, even the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs.
I couldn't hear anything at all, which was really unusual.
Master Dingjing suddenly became worried and thought to herself: "Could it be that the Demon Sect has set some sinister trap? The female disciples don't have much experience in the world, so don't fall for the trick and catch them all in one fell swoop." When he walked to the door, he saw
Shadows of people were shaking in the northeast corner, and a few more people jumped into other people's houses in the west. They were all disciples of our sect, and only then did they feel reassured.
After a while, the disciples reported back one after another, saying that there was no one in the town. Yihe reported back: "Don't say there is no one, not even an animal."
Yi Qing said: "It seems that everyone in the town left not long ago. Boxes and cages in many houses were opened, and everyone took away all their valuables."
Master Dingjing nodded, sat at the table and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "What do you think?"
Seeing that all the fellow apprentices and sisters were bowing their heads in silence and looking uneasy, Yi He sighed and said, "Disciple guesses that the demon sect has dispersed the townspeople and will soon attack them in large numbers."
"Not bad!" Master Dingjing frowned slightly and said sternly: "This time the Demon Cult monsters are going to fight us openly, that's great, are you afraid?"
All the disciples said in unison: "Conquering and destroying demons is my bounden duty as a Buddhist disciple."
Master Dingjing felt a little happy in her heart and said: "Let's stay in this inn and cook a good meal. First, we will try whether there is any poison in the water, rice and vegetables." When the Hengshan sect was having a dinner, Ben
They were not allowed to talk. This time, everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the sounds outside. After the first group had eaten, the disciples who went out to replace the guards outside came in to eat.
Yi Qing suddenly thought of a plan, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Uncle, let's light up the lamps in many houses so that the enemy doesn't know where we are."
Master Dingjing thought for a moment and realized that this plan was good. She immediately said: "This is a very good plan. The seven of you go and light the lamps." She looked out from the gate and saw the windows of many shops on the west end of the street.
, lights came out everywhere, and after a while, lights also came out of the windows of many shops in the east.
There were lights everywhere on the street, but there was no sound. Master Dingjing raised his head and saw the moon in the sky. He prayed silently in his heart: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, may all the disciples of Hengshan Sect be safe this time. If disciple Dingjing can return to Hengshan,
, From then on, I worshiped the Buddha with green lanterns and never used my sword again." She dominated the world in the past and did many great deeds. However, the battle on Xianxia Ridge last night was so dangerous that it would have been so dangerous without the help of an expert.
, I am afraid that my disciples will suffer heavy casualties.
At this moment, I still have lingering fears. What I am worried about is leading these many disciples. If she were alone, the situation would be ten times more terrifying, so I didn’t care about it. I prayed silently again: "Great Mercy and Great Compassion, save the suffering Guanshiyin Bodhisattva,
If we, all of us in Hengshan, must suffer losses this time, I will only allow my disciple Dingjing to bear this disaster, and only this disciple will bear the retribution of all kinds of murderous karma."
At this moment, a woman's voice was heard shouting from the northeast corner: "Help, help!" In the complete silence, the sharp voice sounded particularly sad.
Master Dingjing was slightly startled. Hearing the voice, he was not a disciple of his sect. He stared towards the northeast corner, but saw no movement. Then he saw Yi Qing and other seven disciples running towards the northeast corner, so he went to investigate.
But after a long time, I still didn't see any return from Yiqing, and I became more and more uneasy.
Ling Jing actually arrived at No. 28 Pu much later than everyone else from the Hengshan Sect. Although he had been delayed for dozens of miles when he returned to the inn to pick up his luggage, with his light skills, it was still very difficult to catch up with the Hengshan Sect's large group of people.
Easy.
After entering the town, he saw that there was no one in the town, which was not far from what he expected, and he was not surprised at all.
But when he saw a group of disciples from the Hengshan sect cautiously exploring the town, he hid aside and secretly protected them.
Although he had known for a long time that the Songshan Sect would set another trap here and wait for the Hengshan Sect and his party to fall into the trap, it was not easy to investigate them one by one in such a huge dead town.
So he has been hiding in the dark. As long as the people of the Songshan Sect show their flaws, he can take advantage of the situation and kill them all.
In the dark night, the shrill female cry was naturally heard by him. Before Yi Qing and others could move, he had already disappeared from the spot and followed the direction of the sound and chased towards the northeast corner.
Ling Jing's figure tried his best to only pass through the dark corners of the dark alleys of houses. The sound of his footsteps was almost silent. It didn't take long before he fell into a small courtyard. The four houses in the courtyard were systematically scanned.
Below, every detail is exposed, and the woman’s scream came from the room opposite. (To be continued.
