The light of the lantern flickered slightly in the darkness, and the strong man stared intently at the figure standing in front of him.
His eyes were full of fierceness, and the aura of a fierce bandit came to his face, as a bandit should be.
"Brothers in front of me, let me tell you, swords don't have eyesight. If something happens in the mountains and countryside, it won't be very good." The tall and thin man narrowed his eyes, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Lin Qian looked at the two people calmly. He felt the coldness coming from behind him and thought for a while but did not answer their questions.
Things in Yizhuang have escaped, and I don’t know what the situation is here. Dead people can actually turn into ghosts. I don’t know whether it’s because they were cursed by a ghost or for some other reason.
Very evil.
Lin Qian didn't talk nonsense. The black rope on her wrist exuded a cold feeling.
Suddenly, the two gangsters fell directly to the ground, with expressions of shock and confusion on their faces.
The lantern was overturned, the candle inside burned the paper clothes, and the fire flickered.
Lin Qian walked up to the two of them, reached out and picked up the long sword, and looked behind him with some fear in his eyes.
There were some weird things inside Yizhuang, and he didn't want to face such things.
His current situation does not allow him to be arrogant.
Without stopping for too long, he walked quickly down the mountain road. The fire slowly extinguished and Lin Qian's figure disappeared into the darkness.
The ghost of the dream demon disappeared, and the two bandits slowly woke up.
Lin Qian did not kill them. The cost of dragging them into the Dream Demon was different from killing them in the Dream Demon.
If he kills people casually, the evil ghost will recover quickly.
"Brother, I seemed to be dreaming just now. In the dream, I saw a village. It was red and it looked like someone was getting married." The bandit brother touched his head and said in confusion.
"I also dreamed about it. What on earth is going on? How evil is it..."
"Wait a minute, where is my sword?" The bandit boss suddenly collapsed. He turned to look at the darkness around him, his eyes full of blood.
"Where's my sword? It's such a long and big sword!"
"Fuck, it must have been that person who did it. You bastard. He even robbed bandits of your motherless stuff! He's still not a human being!"
"My fifty taels!"
The bandit boss's expression became distorted. It was obvious that the sword was gone...well...it was the loss of fifty taels that made him feel very sad.
"Brother, should we go after him now! The fifty taels are gone and I'm hungry!" The bandit brother showed his fierce look and stood up angrily.
Hearing his brother's words, the bandit boss suddenly became silent. He looked at the extinguished lantern and recalled what had just happened. He swallowed and felt a little scared.
"What the hell, what happened just now did you not see? We probably encountered a ghost. I think we should go down the mountain quickly. We are not going to Yizhuang either."
"Damn, the old saying is true. If you walk too much at night, it's really easy to encounter ghosts."
The bandit boss trembled when he heard the scene just now. A person who was so tough in the past would inevitably feel guilty when encountering such a thing.
"Ah? Brother, don't scare me, I'm most afraid of ghosts..." The fierceness of the bandit brother disappeared in an instant, and he looked around in fear.
He wasn't afraid before his brother said it, but now he is afraid.
Everyone is like this, the ignorant are fearless.
"If you're afraid, hurry up and go down the mountain with me. The longer you stay in this place, the more sinister it becomes." The bandit brother swallowed and hurriedly walked down the mountain.
The bandit brother followed immediately. They didn't care if it was done in vain. They couldn't control that much now.
Normally he wouldn't think anything was wrong, but after encountering something like this today, he felt something was wrong.
That figure is most likely not a human being.
The footsteps were hurried and chaotic on the mountain path.
The extinguished lantern was blown up by the cold wind, and the ashes were spinning in the air.
The surrounding mountains and forests are thick with fog.
Not long after the two bandits walked down the mountain, a man with only the upper body of his body crawled out from the darkness and mist.
The blood stains dragged a long road behind, and the coldness and weirdness crawled along with it.
It climbs down the mountain...
Lin Qian, who was walking down the mountain, raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned his head and looked behind him. A strange and unknown feeling followed closely behind him.
He also heard the two hurried footsteps. Those two bandits were pretty smart.
Lin Qian raised his head and looked at the moonlight. The moon was dark and the wind was high, which was ominous.
"Let's see who can run faster."
Lin Qian clenched her sword tightly and began to run quickly down the mountain.
The jungles on both sides disappeared in the dark night, and Lin Qian's face was expressionless.
Qi and blood were rolling, muscles were adjusting, and Lin Qian quickly disappeared between the mountain roads.
Lin Qian paid no attention to the situation behind him. Soon, the walls of Yongye City appeared in his eyes.
"Here we go, the city walls in this dynasty were really high."
Lin Qian suddenly increased his speed, his calf muscles began to accumulate strength, and then he used his waist strength to jump up suddenly. He reached out to grab the edge of the city wall, turned over and entered Eternal Night City directly.
Lin Qian squatted on the city wall, and her slightly red palms made Lin Qian frown:
"The body without training is really fragile."
After tying up his long sword, Lin Qian jumped onto the roof. Tai Chi's power release method prevented Lin Qian from making too much noise.
In the dark night, Lin Qian walked through the buildings, and figures flickered in the alleys.
When Lin Qian saw the iconic red lantern, he knew he had arrived at the Liu Mansion.
But when he was about to climb over the wall and enter, a feeling of anger appeared. Lin Qiantong shrank slightly and quickly moved away from the high wall of Liu Mansion.
Lin Qian put his hand on the rusty sword and stared at the Liu Mansion in the darkness with deep eyes.
"Did you almost trigger the killing pattern of a fierce ghost? The range-triggering ghost is the one in the Liu Mansion Ancestral Hall?"
"What is the pattern of killing?"
Lin Qian thought quickly in his mind. He stayed in the Liu Mansion for at least two days, including the three days when he was unconscious, almost five days.
He had been safe and sound for the past five days, so why did he almost trigger Li Gui's killing pattern today?
"What's different?"
Lin Qian took a few steps back into the alley, resting his palm on his long sword, ready to crucify the evil ghost at any time if it dared to come out and attack him.
Recalling the differences between before and now, there are two more differences. First, he did not use the Dream Demon before, and the ghost's supernatural powers did not corrode his body.
The second one is the addition of a long sword, but this is unlikely to be the condition that triggers the ghost's killing pattern.
Because in the Liu Mansion, those who guard the courtyard are equipped with long swords. Although his long sword is a fierce ghost, judging from the performance, it is still a long sword.
Therefore, there is a high probability that this is not the reason that triggers the murderous pattern of evil ghosts.
"Will you be attacked if you are exposed to the supernatural?"
Lin Qian made a guess in his mind, but he quickly rejected this guess.
If contamination with the supernatural would trigger the evil ghost's killing pattern, then few people in the Liu family could survive. They had been killed by the evil ghost in the ancestral hall, so how could they still be alive now?
So this is unlikely.
But apart from these, there is no difference. Lin Qian exhaled, a little confused.
He stroked the black rope on his wrist, and the cold breath made his blood quickly cool down.
Um?
Lin Qian suddenly narrowed his eyes. Feeling the rapidly cooling blood, he had an outrageous guess in his mind.
Recalling the cat corpse in the morning, Lin Qian's mouth twitched slightly.
"Isn't that the killing pattern of that fierce ghost?"
"If so, that's really outrageous."
Lin Qian looked at the Liu family compound in the darkness, feeling somewhat contemptuous of the fierce ghost in the ancestral hall.
Lin Qian leaned against the wall, exhaled a breath, and slowly considered some things in his mind.
The coldness on the black rope disappeared, and the evil ghost seemed to have returned to the ancestral hall. Without the stimulation of Chi Chi, the dream demon became calm.
"Nine months, there are still nine months before recovery. If you use the Dream Demon to kill people, this time will be shortened immediately."
Lin Qian estimated the time it would take for the dream demon to revive, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"We have to hurry up. After taking a look at Liu Mansion's plan, we will go find the City Lord. But don't worry, Liu Mansion's plan should be related to the City Lord."
"When you encounter times when you are confused, ask someone with more power first to make sure you get the right answer, and everything will be solved easily."
Lin Qian licked his lips and looked at the Liu Mansion. After confirming that the evil ghost was back, he jumped directly into the Liu Mansion.
"Zi Zhen... you really have this killing pattern. This evil ghost is so rubbish."
Seeing that he was not attacked, Lin Qian showed a mocking look on his lips.
Lin Qian walked carefully around the corner and soon returned to her room.
No one was discovered during this period.
After looking around to make sure there was no one, Lin Qian opened the door to the room and quickly closed it.
He looked at the dark room, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought about putting the long sword inside the bed. Then he lay down on the bed and began to fall asleep.
I gained a lot from going out this time. I saw some of the rules of traveling in this world, as well as the fact that people killed by evil ghosts have a chance of becoming new evil ghosts.
Lin Qian called this a ghost, that is, a cursed dead person.
The biggest reward was that Lin Qian found Ye Zhen's long sword, which was a nail in the coffin.
Ye Zhen's only gain when Dahai City fell.
With this thing, if Lin Qianye encounters a real evil ghost, he won't be afraid to fight with it.
"It's a pity that Red Umbrella was used as a dowry for the Cunning Bride. If I could bring it here, I would be invincible." Lin Qian thought to himself, but he soon overturned this idea.
"If I use this body to use the red umbrella, I may die suddenly, and the body will not be found."
Lin Qian looked at the simple bed frame with a little helplessness in his eyes. The red umbrella was too buggy, too supernatural, and very scary.
Those who are not strong enough dare not touch the red umbrella. He knows very well how terrifying the things he made with his own hands are.
"Let's take a look at the situation first and ask about the way of traveling in this era. It's only one day today. Don't worry. With Ye Zhen's sword, I can protect myself without any problem." Lin Qian slowly closed her eyes, and the hand on her wrist
The black rope appears even darker in the darkness.
The night is already dark...
Outside Evernight City.
"Brother, what is that thing at the back? Half of my body is gone, how can I still crawl so fast?"
In the darkness, the two bandits were running for their lives, half of the corpses behind them chasing after them.
"You ask me, who am I asking? If I knew what this thing was, I would have killed it a long time ago, and would I still be chased by it?" The bandit brother ran towards Yongye City without looking back.
In the darkness, the two of them were panting, but no one dared to stop. The thing behind was so weird.
It's only half-cut, and it's still alive and kicking. If you say it's not a ghost, the brothers won't believe it even if they kill it.
"Hurry up! We are about to arrive at Yongye City. We will go straight through the dog hole later. After entering the city, we will go directly to the people in the Yamen. They should be able to take care of this kind of thing." The bandit brother said in the dark.
Zhong shouted.
"Brother, I listen to you!" The bandit brother didn't dare to look back and kept running forward.
The corpse behind him dragged a long blood trail on the ground. The blood was stained black and left indelible marks on the ground.
But as the blood stains extended, the blood stains on the ground began to slowly submerge into the soil until they disappeared.
Coldness passed over the ground, and the bandit brothers were getting closer and closer to the dog hole in Eternal Night City.
"We're here, go in first, big brother will be here soon!" The bandit boss looked at a dark dog hole, just big enough for the bandit brother to get through.
Hearing what his eldest brother said, the bandit brother didn't hesitate at all and swooped into the dog hole. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dog hole.
The bandit brother didn't hesitate, followed closely, and got through in the blink of an eye.
They walked here two nights when they left the city gate, so they were very familiar with this place.
Moreover, this dog hole was not that big before. The reason why it became so big was that it was just big enough for the bandit brother to get through. This... I don’t need to say more, I already know what is going on.
