The night is dark, and the crescent moon is in the sky.
The silver moonlight reflects on the horse head wall. The black tiles and white walls are all stained with a layer of silver frost. At first glance, it looks like falling snow. A shallow layer of night dew has condensed on the bluestone on the ground. Once you step on it,
Then the water splashed down, like silver beads.
It was almost Hai hour, and every household had already turned off the lights and had a rest, and even restaurants and teahouses had closed their doors to thank guests. Xiaozhu and his party met with Lin Baize and others under the city gate. After the two teams met, Lin Baize took out several fireworks from his sleeves.
He handed it to everyone and said: "This thing is called 'Dazzling Shadow'. It can make a whistle when it rises in the air, and it can be seen even in the daytime when it blooms. Let's work in pairs and patrol separately. If there is anything unusual,
, then released the 'Dazzling Shadow', and everyone gathered quickly."
After that, everyone dispersed. Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming's team, Lu Ling, Bi Fei, and Gongzi Xiaobai's team walked towards the two streets in the north and east of the city respectively. After walking a few miles, they saw the alleys were dark.
When I fall asleep at night, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and the lights are turned off to sleep. The city is reflected in the moonlight, and everything is peaceful and quiet, seemingly nothing out of the ordinary.
"Brother Xiao She, do you think it's a little strange?" Xiao Zhu suddenly stopped, raised his eyes to look at Gui Haiming, and said softly, "Just now we came out of the restaurant, we could still see the government officials patrolling, but now we can't see anyone.
Also, logically, at this hour, the watchman should come out to beat the gong, but we didn’t hear a sound along the way."
Gui Haiming raised his sword eyebrows, he held his breath and concentrated, and after a moment he said: "Not only the sound of people, but also the chirping of birds and insects."
"This is too weird." Xiaozhu muttered. The next moment, she raised two fingers and pinched a magic formula. She saw divine light flowing from her fingertips, and golden light spots were like flying golden butterflies, rushing toward the streets in the center of the small town.
Go. This move is exactly the "spiritual flow" technique taught by Cangming, which is used to detect the fluctuations of spiritual power. Following the guidance of the spiritual light, Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming followed closely. The more they moved forward, the more
The scenery in front of me felt more and more familiar - it was the alley where Aunt Liu lived.
Is it really Bai Ze who caused the trouble? Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat. In fact, she couldn't even remember Bai Ze's appearance clearly. She only remembered that he looked like a young man at that time, with a gentle attitude, and he talked a lot about Kunlun Mountain.
He told her anecdotes. In her impression, the gentle and kind-hearted brother Bai Ze would never do anything harmful to the world. But things went contrary to expectations. Bai Ze, who was bent on repaying kindness, almost became the Liu family's nanny.
She has become a life-threatening talisman for the surrounding neighbors. She can't figure out the reason for this. She can only blame it on the evil poison...
Just as Xiaozhu was running and reminiscing about the past, suddenly, there was a "click" sound coming from his side, and a black shadow penetrated the wooden window of the house, howling and rushed towards the two of them. Xiaozhu dodged to avoid it and returned to the sea.
Ming had already raised his Panlong Spear and shot away the monster that was emitting black energy. At the same time, he flew up with a kick and kicked the opponent several feet away. The black figure hit the stone wall of the alley heavily.
, collapsed softly. However, in just a blink of an eye, the black energy around the monster became more intense, and a pair of blood-red eyes were seen in the rampant black smoke. The one who had his leg bones broken by Gui Haiming's kick
The monster actually stood up slowly again, and dragged a broken leg, walking crookedly towards the two of them step by step.
The dark clouds moved away with the wind, revealing the bright moon. The moon was like silver frost, reflecting on the black figure. I saw that the figure with black air all over his body turned out to be a middle-aged man. He was wearing middle-aged clothes, with his hair crown disheveled.
If it weren't for the bloody red eyes, he would have looked like an ordinary sleeping town citizen. At the same time, another monster with black smoke crawling out of the previously broken wooden window, and the little monster only returned home.
Hai Ming's waist, illuminated by the moonlight, was clearly a child!
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the residence was pushed open, and a woman wearing only a middle coat walked out of the door. Her face was expressionless, her movements were slow, her body was surrounded by black smoke, her eyes were as red as blood, she stretched out her arms, and slowly
Move. Men, women, and children all approach Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming step by step.
At the same moment, just a few "pop, pop" sounds were heard, and the doors of several nearby houses opened, and more than ten ghost-like townspeople walked out.
Slowly moving forward, there was a "bluffing" sound in her throat. Xiaozhu had seen this scene before. It was a disciple of Tianxuanmen who was poisoned by a demon in Tianxuanmen. She widened her eyes in shock.
Eyes, he said in shock:
"This...it's clear that the townspeople were infected by the demon poison and turned into demons!"
More than a dozen townspeople who turned into monsters pressed forward step by step, forming a circle of encirclement, trapping Xiaozhu and Gui Haiming. However, at this moment, since the two knew the true face of the monsters, they did not dare to make any heavy move again.
Everyone was injured with spells or swordsmanship. Xiaozhu took out the "Dazzling Shadow" and was about to send out a signal when he suddenly heard several sharp whistles, and then, four dazzling fireworks exploded in the night sky - except for the two of them.
, the remaining four teams have all been attacked!
Seeing the demon approaching, Xiaozhu did not want to break out of the encirclement and hurt the townspeople. Guihai Mingbing glanced at him and suddenly transformed into the original form of Mingsnake and soared into the sky. He rolled up the snake's tail and put Xiaozhu on his back.
, then the silver light swept through the air and flew quickly towards the city where the golden shadows were scattered.
"Brother Little Snake! It's Brother Bi and the others!" Xiao Zhu was condescending and saw Bi Fei, Lu Ling, and Young Master Xiao Bai who were also trapped by the demonized townspeople. He hurriedly gave a warning. Ming She remained silent and just lowered his figure.
, like a strong wind, passed over the friends, rolled up the three of them with its tail, and soared into the night sky again.
"Thank you, Brother Guihai," Bi Fei let out a long breath, "If you hadn't appeared, we wouldn't have known how to get out of the siege."
Lu Ling clenched the half-moon halberd in his hand and said with hatred: "Damn monster! He actually turned the townspeople into monsters. It is an unforgivable crime! If I catch that bastard, I will cut him into pieces!"
Young Master Xiaobai didn't say anything. He just frowned slightly and looked at the criss-crossed houses on the ground. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Look carefully, what does the layout of this house look like?"
After his prompting, everyone took a closer look and realized that the houses were arranged in an orderly manner, with buildings in the southeast, northwest and four directions, forming a neat formation. When Bi Fei saw this, he blurted out: "It's the four-image formation!"
"That's right." Young Master Xiaobai said solemnly. He always held a folding fan, laughed and told anecdotes, read books and watched plays, but now his face was solemn. He raised his eyes to look at the direction of the crescent moon, counted with his fingers, and said slowly
: "The time has come."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw black energy rising into the sky in the center of the small town! The demonic energy suddenly rose, and Wutian black flames suddenly erupted from the city, straight into the sky, and the diffuse black mist enveloped the entire small town. Immediately, the whole town was filled with smoke.
The monsters in the city all screamed loudly and wailed loudly, resounding throughout the countryside. Gui Haiming's eyes dimmed, and he plunged into the place where the monster aura was rising!
In the alley in the city, Lin Baize was protecting his junior brother who was seriously injured and unconscious, facing the monster figures alone. The black fog was the thickest here, and his eyes were blurry. He couldn't really see the shadows in the thick fog.
What kind of monsters were they? He only knew that when he was walking in the alley, a thick fog suddenly arose, and a black shadow rushed towards him, biting his junior brother's neck. He hurriedly waved his fly whisk and struck the black shadow with one palm.
He was knocked away, but the junior brother fell into coma in an instant. He hurriedly stopped the bleeding and made the junior brother swallow the pills to exorcise evil and detoxify. After that, he released the "Dazzling Shadow" and put on a defensive posture, ready to attack the monster in the fog at any time.
While waiting for reinforcements.
Suddenly, a sharp howl came from the black mist, and a demonic figure rushed towards him with a low roar. Lin Baize took a step forward, swept the dust with his whisk, and was about to fight back when he suddenly heard a sharp scolding from the sky:
"stop!"
The next moment, a ray of silver light swooped down, and a croaking snake landed in front of him, and then transformed into the tall, thin, stern young man holding a silver gun. Lin Baize was shocked and speechless, and it took him a long time to raise his trembling hand.
He said in a trembling voice: "It's...it's you! You are actually the snake monster!"
Lin Baize's whole body was shaking like a sieve. He pretended to be frightened, but in fact he secretly put his left hand into his pocket, trying to take out some magic weapons for subduing monsters and monsters to use against Gui Haiming. His little move was stopped by Bi Fei
Looking into his eyes, the latter hurriedly took a step forward, grabbed his left hand with evil intentions, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, don't distinguish between ourselves and our enemies, we are here to help you."
He did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, so he was immediately recognized by Lin Baize. The latter was extremely surprised and screamed: "You are Bifei! What on earth are you going to do, you traitor! Okay, okay, it turns out you are the one causing trouble."
The ghost!"
"Shut up!" Lu Ling scolded impatiently, "What are you arguing about! Stop saying a few words and show me carefully who this monster is!"
While Lu Ling was scolding, Xiaozhu had already pinched the magic formula and chanted the "Chi Feng Jue" mantra loudly. The breeze suddenly rose, blowing away the layers of fog, and creating an inch of peace in this place where the evil spirit spread.
Where. The bright moonlight reflected on the figure filled with black smoke. I saw the demon who was about to attack Lin Baize earlier. He had gray hair, a slightly hunched back, and a little lamb that was also emitting black smoke following at his feet...
"Mother!" Lin Baize lost his voice. His eyes widened and he grabbed Bifei's collar. "What on earth did you do to my mother? Tell me! Tell me!"
Lu Ling rushed over and slashed Lin Baize's arm with his knife. While he was in pain, he hurriedly rescued Bifei. She saw her eyes wide open and said anxiously: "You idiot, the dog bit Lu Dongbin."
, You don’t know the heart of a good person! If we really wanted to harm you, wouldn’t we have just made a sound to remind you, and let your mother bite you to death, or let you kill your mother? Lin Baize, please calm down!"
Hearing her words, Lin Baize was slightly startled. He raised his eyes to look at his demonized mother, only to see a talisman on her forehead, which suppressed her demonic aura and ferocity. It was the "binding charm" of Chiyun Tower.
"A Divine Talisman". And at the critical moment, the person who shouted "Shut up" to stop him from hurting his mother was also Bi Fei. Thinking of this, Lin Baize took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "What exactly...
...What happened? Why did my mother turn into a monster?"
"It's not just Aunt Liu," Xiaozhu said slowly, "everyone in the city has been infected by the evil poison and turned into monsters. If my guess is right, Aunt Liu said, every morning at dawn, the people in the neighborhood will
When they noticed objects moving, they suspected that a monster was causing trouble, but in fact, the monster was themselves."
Lin Baize was dumbfounded and could not speak. Xiaozhu sighed softly and continued: "We have seen this kind of scene before, that is, people from the Tianxuan Sect who have been poisoned by demons will transform into monsters, and their relatives will not recognize them, and they will have no gods.
They are ignorant and only know how to kill living people. But after they were infected with the poison, they turned into monsters completely. I have never seen people like Granny Liu and the villagers who were fine during the day but turned into monsters at night. Until
Just now, we were flying in the sky, and after Young Master Xiaobai gave us some advice, we discovered that this small town was actually built using a four-image formation..."
"Four Symbols Formation?" Lin Baize asked in shock, "Isn't that a formation used to imprison monsters? You mean, there were monsters causing trouble in Pingcheng hundreds of years ago, and later people built a town to suppress them?"
Xiaozhu nodded slightly and said softly: "I have read from Master's classics that the Four Elephant Formation can not only be used to imprison evil spirits, but is also often used to suppress the evil and turbid energy of the earth. I just took a bird's eye view of the formation eyes of the Four Elephant Formation.
It was in Aunt Liu's house. Only then did I understand why Brother Bai Ze suddenly transformed into a huge monster that day. On the one hand, it was the poison of the Gu Eagle that made him lose his mind. On the other hand, it should be this evil spirit.
The trouble caused by the turbid air suppressed the auspicious spiritual energy of the divine beasts in his body and turned them into demons."
Lu Ling touched his chin and said, "So, if Pingcheng's demonic energy comes out again this time, it must be Bai Ze who is causing trouble!"
Xiaozhu shook his head slightly and denied this statement: "No, I don't think this matter has anything to do with Brother Bai Ze. If he turns into a demon and reappears, he will be as lost as he was ten years ago, only knowing how to kill and kill.
How could such a roundabout method be adopted? In my opinion, the turbid air leaked on its own and gradually polluted Pingcheng, which is why the strange phenomenon of 'being a human by day and a demon by night' appeared."
Bi Fei thought for a moment and agreed: "Miss Yue is right. During the day, the yang energy is strong and the earth's turbid energy is not so strong, so the townspeople are not affected. But after nightfall, the yin energy rises sharply and the demonic power is strong. This turbid energy
The black smoke contaminated the townspeople and turned them into demons."
"Yes, my mother wrote in a letter saying," Lin Baize said anxiously, "Pingcheng has only been plagued by monsters in recent times. There have never been any strange phenomena before! If according to your speculation, it is caused by turbid air contamination, shouldn't something have happened long ago?
?”
Xiaozhu thought for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, the Four Symbols Formation has sealed the turbid air, so nothing strange has happened in Pingcheng for hundreds of years. But recently, the turbid air has suddenly erupted. This may be related to Yinglong
Related. Yinglong broke through the seal of the East China Sea and came back to the world. The powerful demonic power stirred the earth to shake. Pingcheng is not far from the East China Sea. It should be due to the influence of Yinglong's demonic power that the turbid air broke through the restrictions of the Four Symbols Formation.
Spewing out from cracks in the ground."
"It's this monster again!" Lu Ling said with hatred, "Isn't it enough that he has harmed China? Damn it, we have to find the Sky-gazing Flag quickly and collect the four magic weapons! I must find Yunshengjing to seal the monster
He was cut into pieces so that he can no longer harm others!"
As soon as he heard the words "Peeping Heaven Banner", Lin Baize shook his fly whisk and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, why did you suddenly come to Shifang Palace? It turns out that it was me who wanted to send the treasure! What a good Lu Ling you are.
, even you colluded with the devil and acted as a swindler!"
Lu Ling puffed up his chest and said loudly: "You can just scold me. I, Lu Ling, sit up straight and live up to the conscience of heaven and earth. Whatever you say!"
Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Bi Fei took a step forward, stopped in the middle of the two of them, and comforted them in a slow voice: "You all should stop arguing. It is true that we covet the sky-peeping flag, but there are also unavoidable reasons for this. Alas, these are all
This is a later topic, let’s not mention it for now. The top priority is to solve the turbid air here! Looking at the current situation, the people in Pingcheng are still half-human and half-demon, but as the turbid air continues to spurt out, the cracks in the ground gradually expand, and the people’s internal
The evil poison will continue to deepen, and by the time it is completely transformed into a demon, it will be too late to regret it."
