It was Haishi and the night was deep.
Darkness swept over like a wave, surrounding the entire city.
The streets were deserted.
The patter of rain began to fall, making the atmosphere here even more gloomy.
Jiang Wang looked sideways at a certain attic, nodded slightly towards Li Shenyuan, took advantage of the situation to hold Ru Yanqing's little hand, picked up the dirty oil paper umbrella on the ground with his other hand, and said, "Let's take a stroll around."
The streets were deserted but chaotic.
It was not like this when Li Shenyuan appeared here with him in his words.
So the situation before us happened in a very short time.
Jiang Wang was really curious about what was wrong with this city.
Youxuan said in a deep voice: "The premonition is stronger than ever. The whole city is silent, and there is still life, but where have all the people gone?"
Li Shenyuan said: "I'll try to find them."
Jiang Wang stopped him immediately because the situation was unclear. If he used his words to speak out at this moment, he might not be able to bear the consequences if something unexpected happened.
"I didn't sense the evil spirit."
Youxuan glanced at him and said, "So the problem is bigger than I thought before."
Jiang Wang remained silent.
He glanced around. In a corner of the street, there was a wheelbarrow for stalls leaning against the wall. There were shelves, lockers, baskets, etc. on it. There were even large parasols folded up and hung to prepare for possible unexpected weather. It can be said that everything is available. Ordinary people use this to set up stalls and parade around the streets, which seems to be a very tiring job.
What Jiang Wang really noticed was a black shadow behind the wheelbarrow.
Youxuan followed Jiang Wang's gaze and saw something unusual.
He walked straight over.
Jiang Wang reminded: "Be careful."
Youxuan slowed down slightly and stared at the black figure behind the unicycle. It was a young man, curled up and trembling slightly.
"Are you from this city?"
The boy didn't respond or make any move.
Youxuan frowned and said, "Do you know where the people in the city have gone?"
The boy suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction. His head was buried in his knees and his other hand was still holding his calf.
Youxuan realized the problem and said, "Do you need help?"
The boy again made no response.
Jiang Wang, who was standing far away, asked, "Is he really a human?"
Youxuan looked serious and said: "If there is a living spirit, of course it is a human being."
Li Shenyuan said: "That's not a normal person either."
Youxuan agreed. He took a step forward and tried to contact the boy.
But suddenly a strong wind roared in, and the ground shook violently. The bluestone paved cracked, and small whirlwinds poured out from inside. The drizzle came suddenly and drenched Deyouxuan completely. He subconsciously retreated back. However, the whirlwind emerging from the ground was like a wall, leaving him unable to retreat and instantly trapped him.
Jiang Wang protected Ru Yanqing and pulled Li Shenyuan in front of him.
Li Shenyuan's face was livid, and there was no need to express the unpleasant words in his heart.
She grabbed Jiang Wang's arm with her backhand, murmured something in her mouth, and the three figures disappeared.
The next appearance is above the attic.
Jiang Wang let go of Ru Yanqing, took away Li Shenyuan's hand, exhaled slightly, stretched out his index finger to point to the position of Youxuan, and raised it slightly. The sweeping wind was suddenly broken, followed by an even more violent wind. The energy overflowed, and the next moment, the whole city was silent.
There seemed to be light falling in the endless darkness of the night, reflecting Jiang Wang's extremely beautiful face in the attic.
Youxuan flew to the attic looking very embarrassed.
"The boy is missing!"
Jiang Wang said nothing and stared at the city silently.
The area south of the attic was shrouded by the Kingdom of God, but it was actually a very small area for the entire city. He had to find out the problem and solve it within the area shrouded by the Kingdom of God.
"The wind just now was very strange. I didn't find out the source. It's really interesting."
Jiang Wang held his hands on the railing of the attic. The city was obviously covered by some kind of aura. Although there was a breath of life, it could not be seen. On the surface, it was an empty city.
The drizzle became slightly heavier.
There was lightning in the night sky.
Youxuan said in a deep voice: "That boy also has a problem."
Jiang Wang thought thoughtfully and said: "Don't worry about that young man's affairs for now. I'm thinking that if there is a big demon or something else causing trouble, the way to cover the city is undoubtedly to avoid the sight of the big Ku Tan thing, so that what it wants to do can be done. As silently as possible, but such a method is extraordinary, and I am afraid that even the Demon King at the peak of Snow Bathing Realm would find it difficult to do it."
Except for the accident of Mr. Fu, it is difficult for a demon king to appear in Kutan.
The current situation is either a more powerful monster emerging from the Jingwei land, or an unknown and strange method, and there must be very harsh conditions for this method to be used, otherwise it would have been exposed by many people long ago. Man or demon took advantage of it.
Jiang Wang's stay in Qixia Street was not just to recuperate. He already knew the world better.
Li Shenyuan said calmly: "If you are strong enough in what you say, it will be a piece of cake."
Jiang Wang glanced at her and said, "Unless there is a scholar in the world who is more powerful than the emperor's master, or a demon who can read."
Youxuan said: "Even if you are a monster studying, it is difficult for you to understand the power of speaking. Although there are records in our Bodhi Temple that real immortals and even very special gods can speak the law, and it is only a very common magical power. Because If they can counterattack, they are useless. Those who can suppress them directly will naturally have higher moral conduct, but that depends on the conduct of the Dao, not the words and methods."
The reason is very simple. For example, if you scold me and I scold you, no one can really hurt anyone. But if you scold me and I go up and punch you, it will naturally mean that my moral practice is deeper.
"Mr. Good-looking, there is someone there!"
Ru Yanqing, who was looking around, suddenly let out a low cry.
Jiang Wang heard the sound and looked around. There was a small river about a hundred feet away in the southwest. There was a stone bridge on the river. There was a person sitting on the bridge. The person was holding a pipa. His face could not be seen clearly, but he could tell from his body shape and clothing that she was a woman. , the sound of pipa, like a deep throat and flowing spring, quietly spread to the attic.
Li Shenyuan frowned and said, "There was no one there just now."
Jiang Wang said: "We didn't hear the sound of the pipa either, but she seemed to have been playing it for a long time."
Youxuan said: "She has the breath of a living person."
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "That doesn't mean it's true."
Thinking of the young man from before, Youxuan looked solemn.
Listening to their conversation, Ru Yanqing nervously approached Jiang Wang and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
If not a living person, what could it be?
Jiang Wang patted her head, took her hand again, looked at Youxuan and said, "Go over and find out?"
Youxuan said: "How about Mr. Jiang go?"
Jiang Wang shook his head and said, "I'll sweep the formation for you."
Youxuan opened his mouth, but he did not refuse and slowly flew out of the attic.
Li Shenyuan sat directly on the railing with his back against the wooden pillar of the attic. Ru Yanqing's mind was busy, and he soon forgot his fear and wanted to learn, but was pulled by Jiang Wang. Although he had reached the stage of Xing Qi, he could not It has not yet reached Consummation and is essentially no different from ordinary people. That would be too dangerous.
Jiang Wang held Ru Yanqing in his arms, sat on the railing against the wooden pillar in the other corner of the attic, smiled at the happy Ru Yanqing, and then watched the situation on the bridge.
The woman holding the pipa had her back to Youxuan. She was sitting on the bench, looking down at the river with a sad expression.
Youxuan thought about his words and asked, "Is the girl a local?"
The sound of the pipa suddenly stopped.
The woman looked back, filled with charm.
Youxuan is unmoved, after all, he has a sincere Buddhist heart.
"The girl is so pretty."
The woman smiled, charming and charming.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Youxuan said shyly: "Just telling the truth."
The woman answered his question and said, "I have been here since I was a child."
Youxuan groaned and asked again: "I was passing by here. Although it is already very late, why is the city so quiet? Why is the girl stroking the sad Pipa alone on the bridge?"
The woman said: "It is indeed very late, so everyone has gone to bed, so it is naturally quiet. I am playing the pipa because I like the pipa, and I am sad...I apologize that I don't want to tell you."
Youxuan apologized and said, "I was reckless."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wang in the attic frowned and said, "Let him find out what's going on. Why are they still chatting?"
Li Shenyuan guessed: "Maybe you want the other party to relax their vigilance?"
Ru Yanqing said: "I think he just looked at people's beauty and forgot about business."
Jiang Wang said: "He is a monk."
Ru Yanqing asked curiously: "What is a monk?"
There were no temples in the Sui Kingdom, only Taoist temples, and there was no such thing as a monk. Jiang Wang didn't know how to explain it.
Li Shenyuan didn't mean to help explain, and said: "He went with a purpose, so he wouldn't forget it in a blink of an eye, right?"
Jiang Wang pressed down Ru Yanqing, who was still asking curiously, and said in a deep voice: "Unless there is a problem."
Li Shenyuan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and have a look too."
She jumped straight down from the attic, then suddenly flew into the air, and flew to the bridge in an instant.
Youxuanzheng's face turned red and he looked even more shy, while the woman smiled sweetly and played her pipa again.
Li Shenyuan shouted loudly, "Bold evildoer, show your true colors quickly!"
Youxuan said in a panic: "Why did the girl say this? How could she speak so harshly to you!?"
Li Shenyuan raised his eyebrows, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong.
The woman chuckled and said, "This girl is so handsome, I really like her."
Li Shenyuan was very wary. She always felt that these words were strange.
The woman played the pipa lightly and said quietly: "This leather bag has been used for a long time, and it is really time to replace it."
Li Shenyuan's expression changed slightly, and he drew his sword without saying anything.
But Youxuan blocked him with a stick.
Li Shenyuan was naturally weaker based on her cultivation alone, and she was instantly knocked back several steps.
"Are you crazy?"
Youxuan said coldly: "First you say bad words and then you hurt others. This girl's behavior is extremely inappropriate."
Li Shenyuan said angrily: "It's not appropriate for your size!"
She turned around and was about to fly back to the attic. Of course she had to rely on Jiang Wang at this time.
But the sound of the pipa sounded again, which was extremely harsh in the quiet night. Li Shenyuan's face showed pain, and he was about to speak out. Suddenly there was a gust of breeze, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Wang on the attic having drawn his sword.
Jiang Wang asked Ru Yanqing to cover his ears, but he couldn't resist the sound of the pipa. He struggled in pain and almost fell from the attic. He held Ru Yanqing with one hand and slashed at the woman on the bridge with his knife expressionlessly.
The sound of the sword energy breaking through the air was even more harsh, and the sound of the pipa was immediately stopped. The expression of the woman on the bridge changed slightly. She seemed surprised that Jiang Wang was not affected at all. Before she had any other reaction, the sword energy was already coming. The lute instantly shattered, and the woman turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Ru Yanqing's face turned pale.
Jiang Wang comforted her softly, looked at Li Shenyuan who flew back in embarrassment, and then looked at Youxuan who was stunned on the bridge, and said in a deep voice: "The problem in this city is really big."
Li Shenyuan gasped slightly to calm down and said, "I didn't see what kind of monster it was."
Jiang Wang said: "There is no trace of evil spirit. It is not yet known whether it is a monster or not."
Li Shenyuan said: "But its image is similar to that of Mei Er, and Youxuan was obviously obsessed with his mind, and even fell into the trap quietly, which shows his ability."
Jiang Wang had a slight headache. As the remnant soul of a great demon, a monster can turn into a monster or a nightmare. It is difficult to guarantee that it will not turn into other weird things. Monsters that have not appeared before do not mean that they will not appear in the future. It will appear that the monsters that appear to be the weakest are actually the most unpredictable.
Some people died, but not completely...
