He endured the pain and reluctantly stood up from the ground, but for some reason, he always felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort. He blinked his eyes and didn't think too much. He just blamed all the discomfort on the wounds on his body. .
He released his senses and quickly touched four people. However, as soon as he touched one of them, he felt a pain in his head, and the released senses were uncontrollably withdrawn.
"what's the situation?"
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Yi immediately understood that one of the four people should have noticed his feelings and made some countermeasures.
After reacting, Shen Yi became nervous. It was definitely not easy for someone to realize what he was feeling so quickly!
Not long after, the figures of the four people appeared in his sight.
"Who is that person in front?" The leader shouted loudly to Shen Yi, with a shining sword blade in his hand. The other three people observed the situation around them, and frowned at the next moment.
Tsurumi Chuyun also walked forward with his sword in hand, but when both parties saw their faces clearly, the man taking the lead was stunned for a moment.
"aunt?"
The sound of "aunt" also made Tsurumi Chuyun startled.
"Zhao Jingfeng?"
After Shen Yi followed up, he was a little confused when he saw this scene, then turned his head to look at the four people and analyze at the same time.
The man who called the old witch "aunt" looks to be in his thirties, but practitioners are usually older than they look. He was able to quickly detect his feelings just now, which even Bian Daoqing couldn't do. Therefore, the realm is at least in the Qi Condensation Stage of the Consciousness Level. From the Pure Level to the Consciousness Level, even the most talented genius will need seven or eight years.
However, such geniuses are rare, and that person should not be included in this list, so his actual age must be above forty, or even over fifty!
In addition, he and the old witch should not be far from that Hengzhou City now, because the guy's surname is Zhao and he knows the old witch, so he can only be a member of the Zhao family in Hengzhou City.
But then again, this old witch is very senior. A middle-aged man who is at least forty years old actually calls her aunt?
After confirming who was coming, He Jian Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief and put the long sword in his hand back into its scabbard.
"It's not an evil cultivator, put your weapons away quickly." After confirming the opponent's identity, Zhao Jingfeng said to the three people behind him, put away the sword in his hand, then walked forward and said with concern: "Jingfeng was a step late. I hope Auntie won’t blame her, but that evil cultivator was cruel, Auntie, you weren’t hurt, were you?”
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I was just passing by and was attacked and killed by an evil cultivator."
Zhao Jingfeng looked around and found that there was no one else. He couldn't help but wonder: "Auntie is here alone?"
"I went to Renxi Town not long ago, and now I am about to return to the sect. Besides me, there was also my groom on the way, but now he has been captured by the evil cultivator who attacked me."
"Is it that Xingbao?"
"Um."
"this……"
"What's wrong?"
"Auntie, you don't know something. The territory of Hengzhou City has been unstable recently. Evil cultivators often appear and appear, causing many people passing by to be killed. Lord Xunzhou almost died near here half a month ago, and his driver was also tricked by evil cultivators. Take it away, and still can’t find any clues.”
Zhao Jingfeng's words reminded He Jianchuyun of the scene when Xingbao was captured. The paper figures broke the life-god armor on him but did not kill him.
This in itself is suspicious.
"Then why did the evil cultivator arrest the coachman?"
"We don't know much about this, but I think those evil cultivators must have something to transport. The quantity is huge and they need manpower, but they are eager to transport it to the destination. Now the four major families in Hengzhou City have joined forces to send people to major trading houses. The investigation has been carried out and I believe the results will be obtained soon.”
"Is there more than one evil cultivator?"
"Yes, I wonder which evil cultivator my aunt met?"
"I haven't seen what he looks like, but he is very good at paper puppetry."
"Paper Man Technique..." Zhao Jingfeng seemed to have an impression of it, and quickly asked with doubts on his face: "That evil cultivator is haunted. Even though we have traced it for half a month, we have never seen his appearance, but he is very powerful, aunt How did you defeat him?"
He Jian Chuyun didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Yi. Zhao Jingfeng immediately understood after seeing her actions, and couldn't help but look at Shen Yi more. The expression on his face changed from confusion to surprise.
"Auntie, are you a god of destiny...?"
She shook her head and did not give Zhao Jingfeng an answer, but she didn't say anything. Zhao Jingfeng looked at the burnt black land in front of him, with a large number of black paper figurines scattered around it, and the mostly collapsed soil slope in the distance. He also had his own guess, his heart beat hard, he said no more, and changed the topic: "Auntie, come with us first, it's not safe here."
He Jian Chuyun nodded and motioned for Shen Yi to follow, holding his sword and walking side by side with Zhao Jingfeng.
Halfway through, she asked: "Are you here to track down evil cultivators?"
Zhao Jingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, those evil cultivators don't know where they came from. Their traces are hard to find. Their hiding place has never been found. In recent days, there have been many people sent by the four major families. The damage is in their hands, and I just came today."
"What happened? I asked you to come over."
"Uncle Chang Liang is dead. It happened that the Lou family was nearby and did not let those evil cultivators take away Uncle Chang Liang's body. The purpose of my coming here is to confirm whether the situation is true."
"When did this happen?"
"Around Chen time, I have sent people back to Zhao's house to ask Shuangquan to trace the source. Now I am guarding Uncle Chang Liang's body to prevent accidents. I just heard the movement from your side and thought it was an evil cultivator, so I hurried away. come over."
Shen Yi followed behind, enduring the pain and shrinking his body while eavesdropping on the conversation between Zhao Jingfeng and the old witch. He found that he had misunderstood the old witch. The evil cultivator just now did not specifically want to kill her, but was just It only affects the fish in the pond.
But having said that, is there a difference between demonic cultivators and evil cultivators?
He couldn't understand, so he shook his body, and the pain from the wound became intense again, making him grin. But soon he felt a little itchy on the side of his back. He wanted to scratch it, but his claws couldn't reach it. I can only endure it.
feeling bad.
The conversation between the old witch and Zhao Jingfeng in front continued.
"In the past month, the people in Hengzhou City have been disturbed by these evil cultivators. The city clerk posted notices all over the city, warning people not to go out easily. After that, fewer people died, but not long after, people started to come to the city one after another. Missing here, those evil cultivators are so audacious that they dare to act recklessly under the noses of the four major families in Hengzhou City."
"These evil cultivators took away the corpse...could it be that they wanted to support some evil spirit?"
"Many people think so, but if this is the case, no one knows how far the evil spirits supported by those evil cultivators have grown. If it becomes a climate, the consequences..." As he said that, Zhao Jingfeng showed fear on his face. How can evil spirits supported by evil cultivators be simple?
Once it grows up, Hengzhou City will be devastated and blood will flow like a river!
He Jian Chuyun also frowned slightly. If this was not stopped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What is Cha Ying's reaction to this matter?"
"We have sent people to Wuchuan. There is news that a Xuan-level venerable will leave for Hengzhou City in the near future. But who knows whether this is true or not? A big evil spirit has recently gone south and entered Jizhou. I heard that Cangshan Tianchi The Xuanjie sect of the sect also died in the hands of that evil spirit, and Wuchuan is probably too busy."
"Hengzhou turns over tens of millions of tons of grain every year, which is the key to Daliang's success in the north. The royal family should not ignore it."
"That's right... Hengzhou City has indeed been uneasy recently. If my aunt leaves in a hurry, her life will be in danger. It's better to go to Zhao's house to rest for a few days. When we find those evil cultivators, we will give you the Xingbao Bring him back, and besides, my grandfather often says, Auntie, you should go visit his old man."
"I will, but now I'd better take a look at Chang Liang." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded.
"Yes." Zhao Jingfeng also responded. Not long after walking, a few people saw a group of people gathering in the distance. As they approached, people moved out of the way. There were many carriages parked on the road in the distance. You can see conspicuous pools of blood.
Among the crowd, Shen Yi saw a corpse inside, which had been covered with white cloth, and part of it was stained red with blood.
Zhao Jingfeng lifted up a corner of the white cloth and let Tsurumi Chuyun look at it. He was also a man, and he looked not much older than Zhao Jingfeng.
After seeing it, the old witch confirmed her identity, and her expression became solemn.
Shen Yi also took the opportunity to observe. There were several bloody holes in Zhao Changliang's shoulders, waist and other parts, as if they were dug by someone's hook, and the skin and flesh were turned out.
After Tsurumi Chuyun finished reading, he walked to his side and stopped talking. Zhao Jingfeng, who was next to the body, did not cover the white cloth, but lifted up the other side, exposing the body above the shoulders. After doing this Then he said to one person: "Shuangquan, let's get started."
The person named nodded slightly and stepped forward. Zhao Jingfeng stepped aside and watched the person operate.
I saw him squatting next to the corpse, touching the neck of the corpse with one hand. The nail on his left thumb was very long, about three or four inches. When Shen Yi was confused, the other party dug his nails into the neck of the corpse, and from there Drain the blood and then put it in your mouth to clean the blood.
"Eh~"
Shen Yi felt disgusted. The blood in the corpse had begun to solidify. He couldn't stop talking anyway.
After tasting the blood, Shuangquan stood up, faced the west, and took a deep breath.
The people around him didn't dare to breathe, and their eyes were focused on him. Soon they saw his lips moving slightly and reciting some spell. The voice was very low, almost as if he was reciting silently, and Shen Yi was not too close to him. I can't hear clearly what the spell is.
He could only look at him, curious.
About five or six minutes later, Shuangquan suddenly opened his eyes. The eyes changed from brown to pure black, and then spread towards the white part of the eyes, completely occupying them!
In less than a breath, both eyes turned completely black, which looked very scary.
And his whole person seemed to become stupid in this second, turning his body and head, constantly scanning the surroundings, without focusing, and his movements were very stiff.
"Tracing back to the origin..." Thinking of these four words I heard from Zhao Jingfeng before, the man named Shuangquan in front of me seemed to be performing such a spell.
Could it be... Shen Yi thought of something and felt a little bad, but at the same time, he was itching unbearably and couldn't bear it. He had to temporarily put aside his thoughts of going to the old witch to find the answer, and simply ran to the back of the crowd and moved his body Lie down on the ground and prepare to scratch the itch by rubbing the ground.
Tsurumi Chuyun glanced at him and didn't want to pay attention to him, but after seeing him, she was stunned for a moment and quickly followed him.
Shen Yi, who was about to start rubbing, saw that she was acting a little confused as she followed him. He looked at her on the ground, his eyes full of doubts, as if asking: "Why are you following me?"
She didn't say anything. She squatted down next to her and stretched out a hand to touch her body.
Shen Yigang wanted to hide, but the other party had already achieved his goal. The old witch seemed to be looking at something in her hand, and quickly lifted it up and put it in front of her eyes.
What she was holding with her fingers was a piece of scale armor on her body!
There is also some yellowish-reddish pus on the white roots.
She tore off her scales!
But why don't I feel anything?
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment before hearing the old witch ask: "What's wrong with you?"
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly turned his head back. He didn't know what was going on, but he jumped at the next glance!
I don’t know when pustules swelled up on my body, and some of them have festered!
The scales on the pustule have completely exploded, and the scales can be torn off with just a little force!
The itching on the body is caused by these pustules.
How did he know what was wrong with him? He stared at her with wide eyes, wanting to say something, but nothing could be said. He only felt a sense of drowsiness, and the old witch's beautiful face gradually dimmed in his eyes, and was eventually submerged in darkness.
His consciousness quickly became blurry, and he vaguely heard the voice of the old witch calling him.
"Xuanli...Xuanli, why are you..."
"His... thing?... Hurry! Come..."
"Should... evil cultivators... be..."
"Have some..."
"..."
All sounds disappeared, as if what was playing on the TV suddenly disappeared, and his world turned into pure darkness and deathly silence.
All perception was stripped away at this moment, as if returning to the moment when the car crashed into the mountain stream and died.
I don't know how much time passed, but Shen Yi opened his eyes again. The first thing he saw was a candle flame. The flames were flickering, illuminating the surrounding environment dimly and flickering.
He subconsciously thought it was the secret room where Chen Xingyun was, but he soon discovered that it was not because he could control his perspective.
Gradually he felt his body, and the next moment he let out a roar. There was no part of his body that was not in pain.
"ah!"
A woman's scream came from the side, and someone was frightened by Shen Yi's sudden struggle. It seemed that the old witch was also there, and her figure came over.
"Xuan Li, the evil spirit has invaded your body. They are here to help you treat it. Don't move around."
