It was true that everyone chose to follow the Taoist priest. The other party did not lead Gu Cheng and others into any dangerous place. Instead, they used thunder to clear the way ahead. He eradicated these ghosts without Gu Cheng and others taking action. Only
When they encountered some powerful ghosts, Gu Cheng and others came to help.
After turning left and right, the Taoist priest led Gu Cheng and others into a private house, where candles were lit in the lobby. The Taoist priest immediately said: "Everyone is within the range of the candlelight. Remember, only when the candlelight is on
It is absolutely safe as long as the light can cover it.
You are lucky today, there is such a large candlelight that can accommodate all of you."
Gu Cheng coughed, cupped his hands and said, "What sect does Master Daodao belong to? What is going on here?"
"I was born in Yingyuan Mansion, my Taoist name is Zixiao."
At this time, Mu Suifeng suddenly said: "The Yingyuan Mansion is dedicated to the Nine-Heaven Yingyuan Thunderous Universal Transformation God?"
Taoist Zixiao nodded reservedly and said: "It seems that my Yingyuan Mansion has some reputation. It is the Yingyuan Mansion."
Gu Cheng and others looked puzzled. There was no Yingyuan Mansion among the Five Dao Sects, and other Dao sect branches had never heard of this name.
This Zixiao Taoist is extremely powerful, and his fear of trouble has reached the peak of the fourth level. A branch of the Taoist sect that can produce such a strong man should not rely on Wuming.
Mu Suifeng said secretly with a strange look on his face: "Ying Yuan Mansion is indeed a major branch of the Taoist sect, but it is not the current major sect, but a major sect that has existed for thousands of years.
At that time, the Central Plains and Bashu were basically cut off from each other, and only a few strong men could cross the natural chasm to reach Bashu.
Therefore, the religion of Bashu is very complicated. There is no Taoism or Buddhism, and the most popular ones are some primitive witchcraft worship beliefs.
Yingyuan Mansion is one of the branches of the Taoist sect from the Central Plains that first came to Bashu to preach. It worships the Nine-Heaven Yingyuan God who is universalized by the sound of thunder, and mainly uses thunder methods to subdue demons.
However, later, during the war in the Central Plains, the Yingyuan Mansion's orthodoxy in the Central Plains was destroyed. Some of the branches that remained in Bashu returned to the Central Plains and disappeared, and some merged into the Zhengyi sect that later entered Bashu.
It can be said that this lineage has been extinct for thousands of years."
The expressions on everyone's faces were strange, it was another existence that had lived for thousands of years.
"Then what's going on here now?"
Taoist Zixiao sighed: "It's also a sin. The last leader of the Ba Kingdom, the Yucan clan, went against the grain and caused chaos in Bashu. This small town was originally peaceful and peaceful, but it was used as a blood sacrifice by the witchcraft and sorcerers sent by the Yucan clan to summon
Something went wrong with their so-called ancient witch god. Instead of summoning the witch god, it turned this place into a ghost town.
Pindao was ordered by his master to suppress the ghosts here, but he said he was suppressing them, but in fact he was just barely surviving.
Remember, some places in this ghost town are illuminated. Where there is light, ghosts cannot enter, so it is safe.
But there are big and small lighting places, and the small one can only accommodate one person or even half a person. At that time, you will have to find a way on your own."
Gu Cheng asked calmly: "Has the Taoist priest been doing this for thousands of years?"
Taoist Zixiao was stunned: "What thousands of years? I have only been here for a few dozen days."
Gu Cheng and others looked at each other. During the day, the residents of Taoyuan City had no concept of time, and now this Taoist priest also has no concept of time. There is indeed a problem with time in this place.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng suddenly asked: "Since the city is full of ghosts, wouldn't it be better to go outside the city? With our strength, it won't be a problem to fight our way out of the city, right?"
Taoist Zixiao said: "Outside the city..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the candlestick in front of everyone burst out with a violent light.
When everyone opened their eyes again, the figure of Taoist Zixiao was no longer in front of them. At the same time, the darkness of the outside world faded away, and there was a sunny and peaceful scene like a paradise.
When Gu Cheng and others were walking on the street, they even saw the old shopkeeper of the inn greeting them.
But everyone felt awkward when they thought about the scene where this old guy stuck out eight heads last night, just like Yamata no Orochi turned into a spirit.
There was a ruthless look in Yin Tiancheng's eyes: "How about we kill all the people in this city now? This will save them from turning into ghosts at night!"
Although Yin Tiancheng is dressed as a Taoist priest, he has no intention of subduing demons and eliminates demons. Instead, he is very ruthless and fierce in his actions.
Gu Cheng frowned and said, "Don't mess around. We already know the evil in this place, but you are still killing people here. What if you trigger the scene of hundreds of ghosts walking at night in advance?"
Others also looked a little unkind, and obviously they didn't approve of what Yin Tiancheng did.
Everyone had already searched around the city before, but found nothing.
So this time everyone chose to leave the city directly and explore outside the city.
Taoyuan City is surrounded by peach groves, and the area is not large. The surrounding area is like the waterfall when they came. Time and space seem to be stationary here. No matter how they walk, they stay in place.
After making a long circle and returning without success, before anyone could react, darkness fell suddenly again.
This time everyone was in a small town, so they were extremely sensitive.
At this moment, it was as if the world was reversed, suddenly turning from a paradise land into a terrifying ghost town.
Pedestrians on the street also quickly began to transform into demons, and the terrifying posture of a hundred ghosts walking at night took shape in an instant.
"escape!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed and they immediately fled around.
Before this time, Taoist Zixiao did not appear again, but according to what Taoist Zixiao said, their method of looking for houses with bright light really worked.
Gu Cheng is the fastest, and his Ten Thousand Rengui Xu can not only be used for attacking, but also for escaping because of its speed.
On an observation tower near the city gate, a small candle can only illuminate three feet around the entire observation tower.
After Gu Cheng stepped into it, Zi Cheyou followed closely behind, and there was no other place in this observation tower.
Seeing this scene, Chu Zhaoyun and Yin Tiancheng also wanted to squeeze in, but when they saw the unkind looks at Gu Cheng and Zi Cheyou at the same time, they both snorted coldly and did not forcefully fight for it.
Gu Cheng's strength is obvious to all, and Zi Cheyou is also famous in the southwest. Regardless of whether the two of them can defeat them, with this power, it is better to find other bright places.
However, Yin Tiancheng rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Since these ghosts are transformed by the residents of the city, we might as well go hide outside the city. There is no one there, so naturally there will be no ghosts."
Everyone else went to look for other places of light, but Yin Tiancheng headed straight outside the city.
Chu Zhaoyun wanted to stop him, but Yin Tiancheng ignored his opinion and headed straight out of the city. This made Chu Zhaoyun curse in his heart.
The branch of the Bashu Land was too independent, which also led to the other party not paying much attention to me, the Seven Lotus Holy Envoy from the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect.
At this time, when Yin Tiancheng came to the peach forest, he really couldn't see a ghost outside the city, and no ghost was chased out of the city. This made Yin Tiancheng suddenly laugh secretly in his heart. These guys were fighting over each other, but they ignored it.
Such a way to survive.
But at this moment, a soft rustling sound suddenly came from the surroundings.
Those peach trees began to twist and change, with ferocious human faces appearing on the bark. The fruits produced by the peach trees also turned into strangely smiling human heads. The entire peach forest was instantly filled with gloomy and ghostly aura.
Rise!
It is true that there are no ghosts transformed by residents outside the city, but these peach trees have all turned into demons. Yin Tiancheng broke into the ghost nest on his own.
Countless branches of the peach forest came straight towards Yin Tiancheng like tentacles. The powerful force of Yin Qi suddenly changed Yin Tiancheng's complexion. The next moment, his whole body was even wrapped in the tentacles of branches that blocked the sky.
.
"Open it for me!"
The face of Yin Tiancheng who was trapped suddenly changed. He no longer cared about saving his strength at this time. As the energy around him condensed, white lotuses blossomed around him.
The white lotus petals turned into sword energy and swept through the sky, tearing apart the surrounding branches and tentacles, and escaped from it in embarrassment.
Yin Tiancheng is really embarrassed. Those branch tentacles seem to have the effect of corroding power. Yin Tiancheng's body-protecting Yuan Qi cannot defend himself at all. As long as his White Lotus Sword Qi accidentally misses a branch and draws it on him, he will be
It left a trace of blood and took away a large amount of energy and blood.
By the time he returned to the city, his whole body was covered in blood.
Chu Zhaoyun was still quite interesting. After answering him, the two of them immediately went to find a place of light.
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "God knows how this guy became the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Bashu, does he do everything without using his brain?"
Zi Cheyou said calmly: "It really doesn't take too much thinking. The land of Bashu has its own system. They are all the result of internal struggles. They only need to be strong.
So although this guy is not very smart, he is not weak in strength."
Gu Cheng snorted, obviously a little disdainful.
He despises these guys who do things simply and crudely, with no technical content at all.
"By the way, Sixth Brother, have you ever felt it? The time when we enter the night is different this time from the last time."
Before, Gu Cheng thought that the night and day here were regular. During the day, it was a paradise, and at night, it was a night of ghosts.
Although there is no time here, Gu Cheng has been calculating time with his strong mental power. However, he just discovered that the two daytime hours here are also different, and the second time is obviously much smaller.
Zi Cheyou nodded and said: "It seems that there is no pattern between day and night, which makes it even harder to control."
For the next time, Gu Cheng and Zi Cheyou stayed at the observation deck, watching the scenes of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk, and secretly counting the time in their hearts.
Sure enough, the length of the night this time was different from last time, slightly longer by half an hour.
After daybreak, everyone came out of Taoyuan City tiredly. Yin Tiancheng, who was the most embarrassed, had murderous intent on his face and said angrily: "Don't stop me! I'm going to kill these ghosts!"
