As the soul continues to attack the altar, her cultivation has reached a certain critical point. In less than a month, she will be able to enter the pure level.
A pure-level monk under the age of seventeen was as unprecedented as Shen Yi, the Western Dragon. Shen Yi didn't think it was anything, but she was very excited, so she did not choose to sleep that night, but sat cross-legged. , enters the state of cultivation, and wants to break through to the pure level earlier.
As for Shen Yi, he was already asleep next to her, but he was in such good spirits that he woke up soon after falling asleep.
He was in a daze for a while, and was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, but the next second he felt that the sky outside was too bright, and there seemed to be many luminous objects floating in the starless night sky.
Some doubts arose in his heart, so he got up and walked outside to see what it was.
Soon, he walked to the entrance and saw a figure standing in the distance, but only the upper body. The lower body was transparent and completely invisible, suspended in mid-air.
This horrifying scene made Shen Yi's expression freeze. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Duan Huai and Wang Zhongzhu who were watching the night. They were sitting about four or five meters away from the figure, drowsily. Say a few words
Shen Yi immediately realized that what he saw was a soul that was difficult for ordinary people to see.
However, judging from past experience, the soul that comes out after death does not stay next to the body. It will leave after a minute at most, and it is unknown where it will go.
This was the first time he saw this thing without a body.
Moreover, the color of the soul in front of him was also different from the souls he had seen before. Normal souls were transparent and white, but the one in front of him was a light bath green, which looked even more terrifying.
It faced Duan Huai and the two of them and did nothing, just looked at them quietly.
No idea where it came from or what its purpose was, but unfortunately, neither of them could see it.
Shen Yi didn't remind him, of course, not because he didn't want to, but his eyes were quickly attracted by the lights outside.
In the completely dark night sky, he saw huge icicle-like retro buildings in the distance. Around those buildings, there were a large number of lanterns of different colors and floating banners of different shapes floating, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering. When it opens, it emits colorful light, illuminating everything in the building complex with splendor.
It's just that these dim lights cannot dispel the darkness of the night sky, but make the night sky appear deeper and weirder.
"A...city?" Shen Yi opened his eyes wide and stared blankly. He immediately suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, or that he had not woken up.
This city was too close, as if a huge giant suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, scaring people's hearts out of their throats.
Shen Yi knew very well that there could not be a human city nearby. If there was, he should have seen it before falling asleep.
As for the city on the map, the closest city to them is also more than two hundred miles southwest, and there is no shadow at all here.
The city in front of me was only two miles away from me visually.
It was so conspicuous that it was impossible for Duan Huai and the two of them not to see it, but their behavior was very strange, and they never set their sights on the city from beginning to end.
This city is not normal. It should have the same nature as the ghost next to them, so they should not be able to see it.
Shen Yi didn't know why such a situation occurred, let alone how to deal with it.
At this time, Wang Zhongzhu, one of the two, spotted Shen Yi and waved to him: "Little one, come here."
Shen Yi ignored them with a glance, opened his mouth and almost couldn't say anything. Finally, he raised his wings and fanned the two of them, then turned towards Tsurumi Chuyun.
"Two idiots, they don't even know there's a ghost around them."
He thought to himself, and then came to Tsurumi Chuyun to wake her up.
But as soon as he raised his paw, Wu Gong's evil voice came from behind: "What a stinky piece of shit! Get out of here!"
His voice came so suddenly that Shen Yi couldn't catch it and was startled. He quickly looked back and saw Wu Gong, who was also sitting cross-legged on the mat practicing. He didn't know when he opened his eyes and looked at Duan. The direction of pregnant two people.
And his curses were obviously directed at the ghost.
After his voice, everyone was awakened. He Jian Chuyun frowned and looked at Wu Gong. Others asked: "Boss, what are you doing?"
Wu Gong ignored it and stared at the ghost. As his expression changed, he looked even more ferocious now.
As soon as the evil words were spoken, the ghost's body suspended in mid-air showed obvious ripples, but it soon calmed down.
It no longer looked at Duan Huai and the two, but faced Wu Gong.
Seeing that it refused to leave, Wu Gong became even more furious. He stood up and picked up his black ghost-headed sword.
For a moment, there seemed to be a smell of blood in the air.
"Get out! I'll give you three numbers! If you don't let me go, I'll beat you to death!" With that said, Wu Gong rushed towards it.
Seeing this scene, ripples appeared on the ghost's body again, and finally he lowered his head, retreated slowly, and disappeared in the darkness.
Wu Gong stopped and then looked outside the cave. It was obvious that he, like Shen Yi, also saw the strange city in the distance.
Chen Jintian and others gathered around one after another and asked in confusion: "Boss, what happened?"
"Yeah, the sudden roar scared me."
"Boss, what do you think is going on over there?"
"..."
Wu Gong didn't even look back. His eyes trembled as he looked at the bustling and strange city in the distance and murmured: "The Ghost City."
"Ghost...Ghost City?"
"Boss, don't lie to us!"
"Are all the ghosts out there?"
As soon as the word "Ghost City" came out, the expressions of everyone present changed. Tsurumi Chuyun, who had already stood up, glanced at Shen Yi, then quickly took out two talismans from the storage space and patted them on the left and right shoulders respectively.
After doing this, when she looked outside, it was obvious that her expression was dull.
After that, other people also reacted one after another, frantically looking for something.
"Sealing the Sun Talisman! Where is the Sealing Sun Talisman?"
"There's one over here."
"Hurry and attach it to me."
"I found three of them, Lao Duan, take them."
"Give me one."
"I can't help it."
"..."
Someone dug out a piece of crumpled Sun-Sealing Talisman from their messy luggage and put it on their shoulders, all of them looking outside.
But it's a good thing they didn't look at it. In this picture, all kinds of swear words were thrown out of his mouth. At the same time, these swear words also contained the fear they vented.
"What the fuck, what the fuck."
"Those stinky bastards are coming over here."
"Son of a thief..."
"..."
After watching for a while, everyone looked at Wu Gong. As the being with the highest cultivation level among all, there is no doubt that he is the backbone.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Wu Sheng, who was still in a weak state, asked him.
Wu Gong took a deep breath, finally withdrew his gaze, and said solemnly: "Go pack your things, hurry up, we are leaving now."
No one has any doubts about his decision, including Tsurumi Hatsuun.
She knew very well how dangerous ghosts were. After Wu Gong finished speaking, she quickly walked inside.
The others didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly started to pack their luggage. They packed everything they could. If they couldn't pack it, they packed it hard and didn't organize it. They just crumpled it into a ball.
The light ones were hung on the horses, and the heavy ones were thrown into the storage space. In just a few minutes, Tsurumi Chuyun's storage space had many things that did not belong to her, including bows, arrows, and knives. Among other things, there were also armors ripped off from the soldiers.
There is no way. Among the seven people, only Wu Gong and Tsurumi Chuyun have space to store magic weapons. Tsurumi Chuyun's storage space is a hundred times larger than that of Wu Gong. Some are not easy to carry, but they are somewhat useful. , things that would be a pity to throw away naturally had to be carried by her.
After everything was packed up, they didn't dare to stop for a moment. They got on their horses and left the hook and shovel top, preparing to travel overnight to stay away from the ghost city in the distance.
"Boss, where are we going now?"
When Wu Gong heard this, he looked back at the ghost city standing in the desolate mountains, with an ugly look on his face.
The ghosts were all in the northeast, exactly where they were going to pass.
It seems that they were lucky. By coincidence, they rested under the hook and shovel roof for the night, just outside the scope of the ghost city. If they had been closer, they would have turned into corpses long ago.
Thinking of this, Wu Gong suddenly felt the pleasure of surviving the disaster, and his solemn expression softened after a while.
However, the Ghost City is very difficult for people to guard against. Its size cannot be seen with the eyes. If one does not pay attention, death will be the only thing that greets them.
And it only appears at night and cannot be seen at all during the day. If you accidentally break in, it will be like falling directly into the gate of hell.
To be on the safe side, they couldn't go any further. They had to put off their hurried journey. Life was the most important thing.
But if he didn't hurry, Wu Gong didn't know where to go for a while, so he could only run with a few people in a panic.
So he said: "Stay away from the ghost city first, and we will talk about the rest later."
The others didn't speak, just nodded and followed Wu Gong quietly, looking back from time to time.
The atmosphere was also extremely tense, and no one was in the mood to fight.
On the way, Shen Yi, who had entered Tsurumi Chuyun's consciousness space, also asked her: "What are those ghosts?"
Tsurumi Chuyun quickly explained to him that Ghost City is just like its literal meaning, a city, but this city is not for living people, but for evil ghosts.
No one knows how many evil things there are in a ghost city, and there is a big difference between a ghost city and a city built by humans. First of all, the cities built by humans are dead things, but the ghost city is alive.
It has its own consciousness, which is muddy and will wander around silently and aimlessly. No one knows where it will appear next second.
Once a living person appears within the influence of Ghost City, unless he has a very high level of cultivation, he will die without rebirth.
In addition, ghost cities are also large and small. In the Tianlu Pavilion of each dynasty, there is a place called Youdu. This Youdu is the largest ghost city discovered so far. According to legend, Youdu It has existed for more than ten thousand years and is large enough to cover an entire dynasty. It is currently the biggest threat to the human race.
"Then Youdu is bigger than the Liang Kingdom?"
"Yeah, but I haven't seen it either."
"No way, isn't it a bit exaggerated that Youdu is really that big?" Shen Yi had disbelief written all over his face. In fact, he didn't blame him for this. He followed the old witch from Weizhou to Jizhou, and he had probably figured out Daliang. The area of a state boundary, taking Changzhou as an example, is almost twice the size of a province in China in the previous life. Cangzhou, the largest among them, may be four or five times larger. The seven states added together are estimated to be two to three million square kilometers. .
There are already more than a dozen countries that he knows now. The total land area of these dynasties is equivalent to four or five Asias. If they are regarded as a piece of paper filled with Chinese characters, then the area Youdu, which is larger than a beam, is equivalent to an eraser the size of a pulsating bottle cap.
Wherever ghosts go, life is devastated, which is equivalent to taking an eraser and erasing the words written on the paper cleanly. Where can there be any living people?
But unfortunately, those dynasties have basically developed for thousands of years, and no one has ever been touched by Youdu, so Shen Yi doesn't believe it.
"Look, according to you, if Youdu is so big, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Well...it is precisely because Youdu is so huge that its movements have become sluggish. It is rumored that it is disappearing on the endless open sea."
"Okay, if you want to explain it like this, I can't help it, but if ghosts are so dangerous, why do the people from Chaying Division just let them go?"
Hejian Chuyun was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I just can't take action."
"How to say?"
"..."
Speaking of which, the ghost city they met now is not actually that big, on the contrary, it is small. But it is such a ghost city, let alone Wu Gong, a monk who knows the level, even the venerable Xuan level sees it. Everyone has to stay away.
If you want to get rid of the ghost city, it will be very difficult to rely on Xuan-level sages alone. Basically, you have to dispatch Ming-level saints.
But if you want to dispatch existences above the Ming level, there is a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, as the Master's cultivation level becomes higher and higher, the amount of plague they generate reaches an unimaginable amount. At that point, even if the master moves even a little, it will be a kind of torture for the contracted beast that is suffering from the disease.
Especially those who have practiced to Ming level Shen Wen level or above, even a level A life god will feel the pressure.
Because of this, many Ming-level saints like to be quiet and don't like to move. They live in seclusion and rarely appear in the public eye.
So it is very difficult to invite them.
Of course, Hejian Chuyun did not explain this to Shen Yi. She was afraid that Shen Yi would give up the job after hearing this and just wanted to terminate the contract and stay away from her.
