At night, the mountain rain is about to come.
The mountain wind sobs like a ghost crying at night.
This ruined temple stands quietly in the woods, with the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind. The sound of rain and rustling sounds like someone whispering, which makes people feel uneasy.
The temple plaque has long since decayed and fallen.
The temple door was crumbling, and the wind chimes hanging on the door fluttered in the cold wind, making a slight noise when they collided, and occasionally there was something like a shrill scream...
"This ruined temple is unlucky." The casual cultivator glanced at the broken Buddha statue in the depths with a solemn expression.
"Chief Gong, it is said that this area has been haunted recently." Someone said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter."
The casual cultivator named Gong unconsciously cast his gaze in the direction of Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang. The flames of the fire there were brighter than theirs, and he felt inexplicably relieved.
However, the cold air on Lu Ningshuang's body kept them away. However, when she looked at the person leaning on her shoulder, her expression was lazy, and the gentleness and doting in her eyes were enough to melt everything.
He was a handsome young man. Although not as flawless as Lu Ningshuang, he was also handsome in appearance. His face was soft and delicate. His eyes were gently closed. His long eyelashes cast a shadow in front of the glow of the fire, adding a bit of elegance and charm. .
They were originally traveling merchants, responsible for the sale and transportation of goods in various places. They were also used to living a life of eating and sleeping in the open, and they were almost the same wherever they rested.
However, this forest is strange and unpredictable, and there is no human habitation nearby. There seems to be some terrifying existence hidden in the darkness. In addition, it is difficult to find a way out on the dark road, so they can only go all the way to this ruined temple that has been abandoned for several years to escape.
Unexpectedly, it started to rain lightly again. Fortunately, they came to the ruined temple to take shelter in advance, which was considered lucky.
The night wind was blowing coldly, and Jiang Yunyi couldn't help but tighten her body and continue to lean against Lu Ningshuang.
If he opened his eyes and woke up, he would definitely wonder why he felt cold. After all, there was a fire three steps in front of him and he was covered with a blanket. According to common sense, he shouldn't be cold.
However, Jiang Yunyi didn't pay attention.
Lu Ningshuang wrapped her hands around his waist and continued to hug him tightly, letting Jiang Yunyi lean on her.
The fire in front of the two people seemed to be eternal, dispelling the gloom and chill. However, the merchant's fire gradually became smaller, and they could only continue to add more wood.
Unconsciously, the drizzle stopped.
Mountain fog followed, as if countless ancient souls were wandering, making the entire space even more gloomy, and even the air became heavy and difficult to breathe.
A group of middle-aged businessmen leaned against the wall and prepared to take a nap. The monks wanted to keep vigilant and vigilant. Unexpectedly, the temple door was pushed open with a 'plop'!
The dark wind swept by, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, the light from their fire became thinner and seemed to be extinguished at any time. The inside and outside of the temple were shrouded in a chill and eerie feeling.
Not far away, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A moment.
The vigorous vitality and sword intent pushed back the surrounding Yin Qi, and he stood in front of Lu Ningshuang. He looked back and found that she was sitting there calmly and did not say anything.
Jiang Yunyi sighed: "There are still ghosts."
I thought that Lu Ningshuang would be able to sleep peacefully after dealing with the ghosts in the ruined temple. Who would have thought that not long after she lay down, she would feel gloomy again.
Lu Ningshuang glanced at the Yin Qi outside the ruined temple and a broken Buddha statue inside the ruined temple. The rubble fell to the ground and said: "There are some, husband, do you want to take action personally?"
Jiang Yunyi looked at the unconscious people lying on the ground and didn't pay much attention, as long as they still had the breath of life.
He moved his wrist, and a ferocious ghost emerged from the darkness outside the temple, saying: "How can we ignore it now that we have met it? Just digest it after a meal and eliminate harm for the people."
Lu Ningshuang didn't stop him and let him do whatever he wanted.
The world outside the ruined temple becomes even darker in the dark night, with ghosts crying and wolf howling all around, and groups of wandering ghosts seeming to be telling the resentments that happened here.
This place is a Buddhist temple. Even if it is dilapidated, logically speaking, there should not be such a large number of ghosts. It should be protected by the power of incense.
If ghosts are not afraid, there is only one possibility, and that is the birth of incense ghosts.
Although Buddhist temples are pure lands, people have seven emotions and six desires. People who offer incense do not sincerely pray for blessings, but hold all kinds of greed.
It is very different from the incense-eating ghosts that everyone knows. This ghost is a spirit condensed with incense and greed. It can escape in the wind, confuse people's minds, and can even control other ghosts to cause chaos and steal things. Human soul.
jingle!
The wind chime on the door rang, and the ghosts from all around came like a torrent of river water. Jiang Yunyi clenched his fist and stepped out. The majestic spiritual power poured into it and killed him with one punch.
The physical body is righteous, the pure masculine power bursts out, the blood is strong, ghosts stay away, and it is very effective in dealing with such evil spirits.
With one punch, he hit the group of ghosts.
The dozens of ghosts closest to the temple door were instantly annihilated. His expression did not change, and the golden sword energy condensed on his fingertips, slashing at the ghosts rushing from outside the ruined temple.
Uh-huh!
The ghost soul was torn apart and turned into dots of starlight like stars in the sky, floating around the ruined temple. All this was completed in a short moment.
However, the storm has not dissipated yet.
Although ghosts are indifferent to the death of their own kind, they are still fearless of death, and even tend to become more and more fierce as they fight.
Jiang Yunyi always stood at the door of the temple to block the danger. If one came, one would be destroyed, and if one came, the other would be destroyed.
The sleeves are fluttering in the wind, and the white clothes are stained with dust.
The young figure stands tall and majestic, as if he can stand alone against thousands of troops. His eyes are sharp and sharp, and he has an unparalleled aura, exuding indescribable majesty.
In just one stick of incense, hundreds of ghosts outside the temple disappeared. Jiang Yunyi's clothes remained undamaged, but there was not much spiritual energy left in his body, so it was not suitable to fight for a long time.
Even though Jiang Yunyi's hands were trembling, he held his wrist tightly to calm him down and gritted his teeth to persist, because he felt that there were more powerful ghosts behind him.
As the saying goes, people are 30% afraid of ghosts and 70% of ghosts are afraid of people. Jiang Yunyi cannot be afraid of him.
Although his realm is low and his spiritual energy is weak, but with the help of the two systems, he is enough to cross the border and fight against ghosts.
Bang! Bang!
After all the weak ghosts were killed, the sound of iron chains colliding could be heard outside the temple.
As time goes by, it becomes clearer and clearer.
It echoed in the barren mountains and ridges, as if something was gradually emerging.
"It's endless." Jiang Yunyi whispered.
The moonlight was obscured by the leaves, making it even darker and unclear. It dragged a long chain, and its viciousness was extremely solemn.
Squeak!
The sound of the chains was harsh.
It was a powerful ghost, with a huge body, completely black and transparent, with dozens of chains wrapped around it, and a strong aura that reached the peak of the Kailing Realm.
And it’s still at the pinnacle level!
Jiang Yunyi shot out like an arrow from the string without hesitation. His target was Li Gui, hoping to solve the problem quickly before Li Gui fully woke up.
Li Gui sensed the danger and responded immediately.
He waved the chains that bound him and swept towards Jiang Yunyi.
boom!
The two collided and groaned.
In the dim world of heaven and earth, Lu Ningshuang saw all the power of Jiang Yunyi's sword and body, her eyes as calm as water.
I do not know how long it has been.
Jiang Yunyi was covered in sweat from the killing, and the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted. However, the powerful ghost's figure became much more illusory, and then died.
Jiang Yunyi won this battle easily, and his shortcomings in realm did not cause him much trouble. After all, he was in the God Transformation realm during his lifetime and knew all kinds of sword moves, but his physical skills were a bit lacking.
This is also the reason why Jiang Yunyi can destroy everything. Panting heavily and turning his head, Lu Ningshuang also looked at him. From his eyes, Jiang Yunyi understood that he was being asked to come over.
Jiang Yunyi did not follow her wishes, but waited at the temple gate for half an hour. The calm weather made him frown in confusion, and took weak steps toward Lu Ningshuang with uncertainty.
When he was approaching Lu Ningshuang, he staggered a few steps and almost fell down. Fortunately, Lu Ningshuang hugged him quickly with quick eyes and hands.
Leaning in front of the pillar again, Lu Ningshuang said softly: "Husband, you are tired."
"If I hadn't been at a low level, I would definitely not be as weak as I am now."
"Well, my husband is great, let's rest."
Jiang Yunyi was now lying on her body, and Lu Ningshuang hugged him without disdain, feeling like she was being pampered.
However, Jiang Yunyi came close to her ear and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Lu Ningshuang, can you change my position for me?"
"cannot."
Lu Ningshuang refused neatly and just hugged her.
Jiang Yunyi was tired and sleepy, so she simply leaned in Lu Ningshuang's arms, closed her eyes and rested.
Except for Lu Ningshuang, everyone in the ruined temple no longer had the strength to resist.
For a long time......
The eyes of the broken Buddha statue were flowing with bright red blood and tears. The surrounding environment, whether it was the roof, the ground, or the walls, was stained with blood.
When the illusion comes out, it is the real incense ghost.
A spiritual body with a body like smoke.
The incense ghost is very cautious and dares not approach until the weakest person is left. After all, in its eyes, Lu Ningshuang's popularity is very weak, and it should not be a threat to it if it is there or not.
Jiang Yunyi was also aware of the Incense Ghost, so he deliberately waited for half an hour. He didn't expect it to be so cautious.
The Incense Ghost first tasted the souls of those merchants. Their bodies were shivering and their brows were furrowed, as if they were freezing in their dreams.
But the most attractive thing to ghosts is undoubtedly Jiang Yunyi's sword intention. The green bamboo sword intention, which is more feminine at night, is very attractive in the eyes of incense ghosts, like a sumptuous meal.
However, the truth is cruel.
After all, it can only see the surface of Lu Ningshuang. Who knows that Lu Ningshuang is practicing ice magic, so it is not difficult for her to be weakly popular.
At this moment, Lu Ningshuang's expression was calm and she didn't even want to look at the incense ghost. It gradually realized that something was wrong and became a little panicked.
I wanted to escape, but it was too late.
The temperature inside the temple dropped suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, fear enveloped the Incense Ghost, and cold ice spread along the ground, eventually freezing it together.
Bang!
The illusion was shattered instantly.
The incense ghost collapsed and turned into countless light points and disappeared, and the souls that were supposed to disperse together also touched several merchants and penetrated into the body to return to their souls.
Lu Ningshuang still leaned on her original position, with no trace of emotion in her eyes. She gently patted Jiang Yunyi's back and comforted her awkwardly: "Sweet dreams, husband."
.......
Wake up the next day.
A group of middle-aged businessmen hurriedly packed their luggage and put it on their horses and mules. Their hands were still shaking. It was hard to imagine how much pressure they were under at night.
As for the hired Gong Sanxiu, he silently saluted Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulders, from a distance.
He didn't speak, for fear of disturbing Jiang Yunyi.
Lu Ningshuang ignored this and just leaned there quietly, looking down from time to time to see if Jiang Yunyi was sleeping soundly. Seeing that he showed no signs of moving, she felt relieved and continued to be silent in her own world.
Gong Sanxiu didn't dare to stay any longer and walked out of the ruined temple.
"Let's go."
He fell down, and the group of people quickly grabbed the reins of the horses and mules and left quickly, fearing that they would be frozen if they were a step too slow, and their lives would be lost here.
He didn't dare to speak out until he was a little further away.
"It really froze me to death. If the immortal had not sent me firewood, I thought I would freeze to death."
"Speaking of which, it's all because of the immortal..." Some people thought it was Lu Ningshuang's coldness.
"Be careful, if seniors hadn't kept vigil for us, we might have been killed here last night." Gong San cultivated.
"Why did Gong Xianzhang say this?"
Gong Sanxiu replied: "In the early morning, the Yang Qi was abundant, and I discovered that the Yin Qi in this place was heavier than I thought. It was shaded by trees on all sides, and with the cracked Buddhist stone statues in the ruined temple, I was afraid that the evil spirits that were originally suppressed could escape. .”
Gong Sanxiu looked back at the ruined temple in the shadows.
Even during the day, the sunlight was blocked by layers of leaves, isolating the ruined temple from the rest of the world. The dim light made even the surroundings appear blurry. He murmured, "Didn't you hear anything last night?"
After Gong Sanxiu reminded him, everyone frowned.
It was too cold last night, which caused me to sleep too deeply. Along with the sound of wind, I was sure to hear faint movement, but I couldn't hear the specific sound clearly.
When they recalled what they had experienced last night, they felt inexplicably heavy in their chests, and at the same time, they felt like something was missing in their hearts.
When you walk out of the jungle and into the sunshine, everything returns to normal.
A group of middle-aged businessmen continued on their way.
Until they came to a traveler in the distance, the innkeeper was shocked when he heard that these traveling merchants had wandered into the deserted mountains alone and stopped at the ruined temple in the mountains.
Even the surrounding guests turned pale with fright after hearing this, and stood up and backed away.
I heard the store owner suddenly ask:
"Are you humans or ghosts?!"
Gong Sanxiu felt strange, but still answered truthfully: "Of course we are human beings."
The store owner was still concerned: "Is it absolutely true?"
At this time, a casual cultivator came forward to identify the breath of life and death. After confirming that it was correct, the store owner explained that the ruined temple in the mountain was a famous local ghost temple.
Ghosts hide near the ghost temple all year round. Once someone enters, it will resonate with the ghost temple and appear at night to absorb the soul and strengthen itself.
In the past, some disciples of the Immortal family tried to suppress the ghost temple, but to no avail. Instead, they were sucked away the immortal energy and lost their lives. Now three disciples have lost their lives.
Now that they saw Gong Sanxiu and others walking out safe and sound, how could they not be afraid, especially the store owner, who had just staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Gong Sanxiu and others looked at each other. They knew that the mountain was haunted, but they didn't expect that the ruined temple turned out to be the lair!
Recalling the feelings after leaving the ruined temple, I still have lingering fear in my heart. When I think of Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi in the ruined temple, I can't help but swallow my throat for a while. I feel happy to survive the disaster, but also shocked.
.........
At the same time, the ruined temple.
I don't know if it was Lu Ningshuang's fault, but the surrounding leaves had dissipated, and the sun shone into the ruined temple, making the entire ruined temple brighter, and the gloomy atmosphere became much lighter.
Jiang Yunyi walked with her head held high, a little arrogant, and smiled sideways at Lu Ningshuang: "Lu Ningshuang, I told you that I can defeat those ghosts alone without protection... Well, I mean destroy them. "
Although he felt that one was missing, it didn't matter. After all, he was so timid and wouldn't be very strong.
"Then I will rely on my husband to protect me along the way." Lu Ningshuang followed him and treated him calmly.
"without......"
Jiang Yunyi was about to agree, but paused: "No, you are a Holy Lord and you still need my protection? I want to tell you that it's okay for me to be alone."
"Husband."
"Um?"
Jiang Yunyi turned to look at her, but Lu Ningshuang pinched his face with one hand, and the next words cut across his heart like a knife.
"I won't leave you alone again."
She seemed to know her loneliness after death.
