"Where's that girl? She has long hair. She doesn't look like a Buddhist, but she smells like sandalwood. What's going on?" Zhang Ran looked at Long Xing.
As a veteran martial artist of the Five Tigers Martial Arts School, Long Xing is very familiar with the three major martial arts schools, and Long Xing may know about it.
"She shouldn't be a disciple of Tongsheng Martial Arts School. I haven't seen her before. She should have joined temporarily." Long Xing said in a deep voice.
"Is it okay to join in temporarily?" Chao Jin said through gritted teeth.
"As long as the three major martial arts schools agree, it's okay." Long Xing said.
After Zhao Li arrived, he sat on the stone bench, with Zhang Ran, Chao Jin, and Long Xing standing behind.
There are only three stone benches on the stone table in the courtyard, and each stone bench sits an elder from the martial arts school.
Li Xia said: "Zhao Li, you're late." Li Xia is the elder of Shenwei Martial Arts Hall and the young woman.
Zhao Li smiled, showing his white teeth: "It's not too late, it's just right. If you don't believe me, just look at the time." After speaking, he pointed to the sun in the sky that shines on everything in the world.
Guyue said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The owners of the three major martial arts schools have already agreed on the place where this fight will go. It is to the ancestral home of Old Master Sha in the outer city of Qiantang County." Gu Yue is the old man of Tongsheng Martial Arts School.
While Gu Yue was talking, he took out two thin books and placed them in front of Li Xia and Zhao Li. Gu Yue said: "You must have heard the legend of Old Master Sha's ancestral house. It is a haunted house. This is true. Yes, fifty or sixty people died inside. Later, Taoist Master Qianhe who passed by Qiantang County saw this and sealed the haunted house. He even left a disciple here to maintain the seal of the haunted house. , I will introduce some situations about haunted houses to your two books, so that your disciples can better understand haunted houses.”
Li Xia and Zhao Li are old people and are familiar with haunted houses, so although Gu Yue was speaking to them, he was actually speaking to all the disciples below.
Zhao Li frowned and said: "The ghosts in this haunted house are very fierce. It will be difficult for disciples to come out alive after entering. Isn't it too dangerous?"
What he meant was that those who entered were all the most elite disciples. If they all died inside, it would be of no benefit to the martial arts gym.
Guyue said: "This is a decision jointly made by the masters of the three major martial arts halls. The reason for the decision is that there is Shi Feng from Shenwei Martial Arts Hall, Liu Zhiyan from Tongsheng Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Ran from Wuhu Martial Arts Hall, and the three of them are The strongest disciple in the past will definitely come out alive after entering the haunted house, and there is even a small chance of killing the ghost."
Zhao Li said: "Can we only send three people there? The other disciples don't have to go. Otherwise, we will only increase casualties and die in vain."
Guyue said: "The masters of the three major martial arts schools didn't say, I also agree that the other disciples will not go. If you all agree not to go, you can only let three people go." Guyue said this to agree with Zhao Li's statement, and the others His disciples are going to die, and they don’t want other disciples to go. After all, they are the most talented young people of the younger generation, and they have a certain chance of becoming a warrior in the blood realm in the future.
After Guyue finished speaking, Zhao Li and Guyue looked at Lixia. Now only Lixia was left to express her stance.
Li Xia said decisively: "I agree." She didn't want the talented disciples of her martial arts school to die.
"I'm not convinced. Why should we die if we go in?" Chao Jin stood up and said loudly. He really wanted to participate, but now it's happened, but he was vetoed with one word. He was very dissatisfied.
"If you say you will die, you will die. There is no doubt about our judgment. The elders of the three major martial arts schools are here. What do you think of you when you talk like this? Back off." Zhao Li scolded.
Zhao Li spoke very harshly, and the aura he exuded immediately shocked Chao Jin, and Chao Jin did not dare to say any more.
"I want to participate. I am lucky enough to be one of the three in the competition. It is so unfair that we are eliminated. I hope we will be given a chance." Gongsun Yu said.
Gongsun Yu told Zhang Ran that he would meet in the battle. If he didn't even participate in the battle, it would be a big joke. He couldn't afford to embarrass this person.
Gongsun Yu's words immediately inspired Chao Jin's courage, and he said again: "I hope you will give us a chance."
Guyue looked around at the crowd and said, "Which of you still wants to participate?" No one spoke anymore. Long Xing, Sun Tianqi, Lu Yun, and Luo Qingshan were all silent, indicating that they did not want to participate.
Long Xing knows his own strength. With his strength, he can enter the haunted house and die without rebirth. Otherwise, the Five Tigers Martial Arts School would not be at the bottom every year. The most important thing for him to become the top three this time is to get the Heart Enlightenment Fruit. , this is something that can be met but cannot be sought. It is only this opportunity, and it may not be available in the future.
Sun Tianqi knew that he could not defeat Zhang Ran and Shi Feng, and knew that he would gain nothing by participating. He might as well deepen his martial arts in order to defeat Zhang Ran in the future and avenge the previous fight in Chunhuayuan.
Lu Yun knew that he would not get any benefits because of Liu Zhiyan's sudden air landing, so he did not really want to participate. However, Luo Qingshan has now been admitted to Southern Shaolin. He is indifferent to whether to participate or not. Now he just wants to break through to In the blood realm, hurry up and join Southern Shaolin. The two of them have similar thoughts. There is no need to compete for the first place in Tongsheng Martial Arts School. After all, there is Liu Zhiyan. After all, everyone in Tongsheng Martial Arts School has placed their hopes on Liu Zhiyan. .
"Then add two more people, Gongsun Yu and Chao Jin." Guyue said.
There are five people participating in the haunted house, Shi Feng, Zhang Ran, Liu Zhiyan, Gongsun Yu, and Chao Jin.
"Go ahead. The three-story house next to it is the haunted house. As long as you stay in the haunted house for one day, whoever comes out first at this time tomorrow will be the winner." Guyue said.
"What if we kill the ghost inside?" Chao Jin said.
"Whoever can kill can come out immediately and win the first place. You don't have to wait for a day in the haunted house. Of course you must have this ability. This ghost is very fierce. Even our three elders can't deal with it." Gu Yue The last sentence sounds sarcastic, but it is actually a reminder.
When Guyue answered, Zhang Ran pulled Long Xing aside and asked: "Are there ghosts in this world? Why have I never seen or heard of them before?"
When Zhang Ran was killing the ghost centipede in the Ghost Mansion, he thought that there were no ghosts in this world. However, this battle broke Zhang Ran's heart, because there were ghosts in this world. Zhang Ran should have thought of it a long time ago. With zombies, how can there be no ghosts?
"I heard the master once said something. I will tell you now so that you can understand it." Long Xing said.
Long Xing is the disciple of the Great Elder, and he grew up in Wuhu Martial Arts School, so he knows a lot.
"In today's Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing has ascended the throne and is serving the country and the people. He is diligent in government and governing with all his strength. He uses the Dragon Qi of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the entire world. Wherever the Dragon Qi reaches, demons, monsters and monsters do not dare to appear. Only a few of them dare to appear. Come out to cause trouble, for example, in our Qiantang County, you haven’t seen many demons and ghosts since you were a child,” Long Xing said.
Zhang Ran nodded. He had rarely seen them. He had only seen them twice. Once was the zombie he encountered in the ancient tomb, and the other was the haunted house he was about to enter. As for the previous ghost house, it was not a ghost, but a ghost centipede. So it doesn't count.
In this battle, Zhang Ran brought the ghost centipede and the three-headed snake with him. The ghost centipede and the three-headed snake had already evolved in one day. The ghost centipede became the size of two fists, surrounded by black. Stripes, these black patterns are all made of poison, and they will be poisoned as soon as they are touched. Of course, as the owner, the ghost centipede will not let Zhang Ran be poisoned.
And Zhang Ran discovered that Poison Centipede has one more ability. This ability is that Zhang Ran can master skills through wild beasts. Ghost Centipede told Zhang Ran that the ability is that Ghost Centipede can absorb ghosts and become its attendant ghosts, but now there are only more than one Ghost Centipede. Can absorb two ghost attendants.
In other words, in the future, the ghost centipede no longer only needs to bring out the phantom ghosts, but can also bring out the real ghosts.
Hearing that this time he went to a haunted house, Zhang Ran was glad to have brought the ghost centipede with him. After all, the ghost centipede can restrain ghosts. Zhang Ran wanted to kill the ghosts in the haunted house. With so much experience gained from killing zombies, he should get so much experience from killing ghosts. More, with the ghost centipede, the chance of killing ghosts is greater.
After all, these three elders said that they are no match for the ghost. They are at the third level of blood refining. This ghost may be above the blood realm.
After the three-headed snake evolved, it was now more than five meters long. Zhang Ran found that the head on the left could spit poisonous mist, and the head on the right could spit poisonous water. Although the head in the middle did not have any abilities, it was very fierce. As long as it was hit by If you bite it, you'll be finished immediately.
"And even though demons and ghosts rarely come out to cause trouble, the Ming Dynasty also has an organization to eliminate demons and kill ghosts. It is the Six Gates. As long as demons and ghosts appear, the six gates' policemen will definitely eliminate them." Long Xing continued.
In this Ming world, the Six Gates are an organization that eliminates demons, which is a little different from the previous life, Zhang Ran thought.
Seeing Zhang Ran's expression, Long Xing said: "The six gates are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. They not only eliminate demons and ghosts, but also eliminate evil. Those who commit crimes are also their targets."
Well, compared to the six doors in the previous life, there is one more to slay demons and ghosts, and the others are roughly the same.
Although Long Xing didn't say much, Zhang Ran roughly understood that the Ming Dynasty was now strong and there were not many demons and ghosts. However, Zhang Ran still had a doubt and asked: "What would happen if the Ming Dynasty declines."
"That means demons are running rampant, ghosts are lying on corpses, and the world is a purgatory." Long Xing said.
Zhang Ran's heart moved, because the Emperor Jiajing had two extremes. When he first ascended the throne, he would be a wise emperor, and the country and the people would be peaceful. But later, Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism and no longer went to court. He lived in seclusion in the harem and practiced the way of immortality. There will be corrupt officials like Yan Song, Japanese pirates from Japan will come to the Ming Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, and the Mongolian Tatar cavalry will repeatedly attack the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will be chaotic, and there will definitely be more monsters and ghosts in the Ming Dynasty.
However, there were still some years before Emperor Jiajing would believe in Taoism and stop going to court, so Zhang Ran didn't think much about it.
Shi Feng, Zhang Ran, Liu Zhiyan, Gongsun Yu, and Chao Jin left the yard and entered the haunted house next to it.
When everyone entered the haunted house, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain heavily. From time to time, a bright light flashed, which was thunder and lightning.
Chao Jin lit the candle on the candlestick, but the candlelight in the room was still dim and flickering, as if it would go out at any time. There was a thick musty smell in the air, which made his stomach churn.
But now the scene inside the house could be seen clearly.
There are about seven or eight portraits hanging on the wall. Some of these portraits are in official uniforms, some look like businessmen, some look like scholars...
Although the painting is a bit blurry, the pair of eyes are extremely strange, as if they are staring at everyone all the time.
The furniture placed in the house is all made of wood and has decayed. It will break into pieces at the slightest touch. There are two broken windows on the wall, which shake and make a creaking sound. You can see It was raining heavily outside the window.
