It was night, Bai Ze finished his practice, stood up and opened the window of the room.
The moonlight enters the house, and the creaking sound of the windows reveals the inexplicable vicissitudes of life.
"Pure Yang Zhenjing" is the Taoism's most powerful and most yang mentality, so Bai Ze has a keen perception of the yin and evil spirits.
At night, Maicheng has become a complete ghost town.
Hundreds of ghosts walk at night, and silent shouts fill the entire wilderness.
Bai Ze raised his eyes and looked, there was the mass grave in Maicheng.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses. When the monk was angry, his blood flowed thousands of miles.
Bai Ze sacrificed himself from the prison, and the ghost general appeared behind the young man. The body of the ferocious Kong Wu became more and more solid. If it weren't for the gloomy ghost energy on his body, he would have been just like a living person.
Bai Ze swallowed the breath-avoiding beads, and the aura around his body was restrained, so the ghosts walking at night could not detect his presence.
But as soon as the ghost general appeared, the ghosts retreated in fear and did not dare to approach this area.
"Ghost General, there are so many lonely ghosts in Maicheng. If you devour them, can you be promoted to the Ghost King realm?" Bai Ze asked him.
"Reporting to the sword master, I can't." The ghost general said, "My strength is stuck in the quasi-ghost king realm, and ordinary ghosts have almost no effect on me."
Ghost General, Ghost King, Naraku, Ghost Emperor.
Corresponding to the monks' supreme, sage, saint and legend respectively.
"If it's Xiao Jing's three ghost ghosts, you should be promoted to the Ghost King."
"Of course you can."
"Ghost General, how much cultivation did you have before you were trapped in the Dragon Abyss?"
"Sword Master, before me, the weapon spirit of Zhe Yu was actually not me. After Zhe Yu's previous weapon spirit disappeared, the ghosts sealed in the ghost sword fought with each other, all wanting to become Zhe Yu's new weapon spirit."
Bai Ze listened.
"Before the strife began, my strength was that of Naraku. But the battle between weapons and spirits was too cruel. By the time everything was settled, my strength had become that of a ghost general."
"Logically speaking, ghosts devouring each other, isn't it similar to raising gu? The one who survives to the end should be the strongest. Why don't you rise instead of fall?"
"Sword Master, if your strength is above the level of the Ghost King, how can you be willing to be devoured by your own clan?" the Ghost General said. "In the end, if you fight to the end, you would rather self-destruct and severely injure your opponent than be swallowed. Devouring comes from absolute crushing in terms of strength. How can you Is it that easy? The sword master said that if you kowtow three times before the devil, the devil will make you travel faster and faster. But the price is that you will become a complete monster until you are controlled by the devil and no longer conscious."
"So, are you sure about the three corpses that devoured Xiao Jing?" Bai Ze asked him.
"Don't worry, sword master." The ghost general said, "We couldn't devour each other when we were fighting because we are all sword slaves of the prison. But it's different now. As long as he takes a sword from the prison, it doesn't matter whether he is wiped out in ashes or not. He is so powerful, how can he fight against me?"
"That's it."
Bai Ze looked at the moonlight outside the window and remained silent.
…
In the middle of the night, the people Lin Xiao and others finally arrived.
The person who came was wearing a black robe and opened the door directly.
Lin Xiao and Xue Xing were both in the lobby on the first floor, but the winery manager was not here.
The dishes on the table have been removed, leaving only the wine.
"It's much later than the agreed time." Xue Xing's face was gloomy.
The visitor sat next to the two of them, poured a glass of wine, and said to himself: "Something went wrong, but it went smoothly."
"Already arranged?" Lin Xiao asked him.
"Everything is fine." The man said, "Jian Zong has noticed something is wrong. He wants to continue to lurk in Jian Zong. He will definitely not dare to act rashly. He will only focus on this, take Lu Chen's life, and then refine his soul. , Breaking through the Six Realms.”
"In that case, let's make it clear." Xue Xing put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Lin Xiao and I will help you resolve this matter. But after the matter is completed, as agreed, the soul mirror will belong to us."
The man took off his hood, revealing a face that was quite similar to Xiao Jing's. It was Xiao Ning of the Qingming Sword Sect.
"Of course." Xiao Ning said, his eyebrows deep.
…
The situation in Maicheng was changing, and the clouds surged the next day, as if the weather was going to change.
The long-awaited midwinter in the north will finally officially kick off with the arrival of snow.
The sky was dim and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire city.
At noon on the third day, the cold drizzle mixed with snow particles fell on the broken roof of Juyuan Winery, making a scattered noise with the tiles.
The three of them were drinking downstairs.
After the shopkeeper prepared the food and wine, he stayed in the back kitchen and burned a brazier. One was given to the lobby and another was given to him upstairs. Then he kept one for himself and closed the doors and windows.
There is light leakage from the left and right roofs, so you don’t have to worry about ventilation issues.
Looking down at the entire Maicheng, this depressed city looks even more lonely because of the falling snow seeds. Except for the weak city defense soldiers in twos and threes on the street, there were only a few pedestrians running in a hurry, trying to get home before the snow started to fall heavily.
Every house is closed.
The weather was cold and gloomy, and ghosts were crying and wolves were howling at the mass grave.
"Here we come." In the lobby of the winery, Lin Xiao slowly warmed the wine and smelled the aroma of wine gradually emanating from the brazier, and suddenly said.
One of Xue Xing and Xiao Ning was roasting sweet potatoes, and the other was looking at the brazier in a daze. When they heard this, they both narrowed their eyes and said nothing.
Due east, there was an evil and bloody aura coming across the sky.
But the breath stopped at the mass grave, lingering and no longer moving forward.
"It seems that he hasn't lost his mind yet." Xue Xing held a fire stick in his hand, turned over the sweet potatoes that he had roasted in the brazier, and chuckled, "He actually knows how to summon those lonely ghosts."
"It's just a sword, don't worry about it." Xiao Ning said with an incomprehensible expression.
"Wait until he enters the city." Lin Xiao said, "He is no more patient than us. Sooner or later he will take action first."
This wait lasted for another long time.
At Shenshi, the snow seeds mixed with rainwater were gradually replaced by snowflakes.
The snow was falling harder and harder, and soon the originally wet road began to accumulate snow. There is already a thin layer of snow on the roofs of the city.
At Xu's hour, there was finally movement in the direction of the mass graves.
The breath that had been silent for a long time suddenly burst out with a strong demonic atmosphere, causing the sky to change color and snowflakes to dance wildly.
Now not only Lin Xiao and the others, but also the uncultivated survivors in Maicheng heard the frightening ghost roars, one after another, rushing towards Maicheng like a tide!
The war is about to break out.
"Do you want to eat?" Xue Xing pulled out three charred sweet potatoes from the brazier and looked at the two people beside him. "If you don't eat, you won't have a chance."
Lin Xiao and Xiao Ning were stunned for a moment. Only Xue Xing picked up one and split it in half, revealing the golden and soft inner layer of the sweet potato under the burnt black appearance.
Steaming hot and fragrant.
Xue Xing took a bite, but before he finished chewing, he heard a strong wind blowing outside the door, and the door of the winery suddenly blew open with a loud bang.
At the same time, a sword was unsheathed in the lobby, and the sword energy came out vertically and horizontally, directly smashing the door that was hitting back and forth, and headed straight for the person outside the door!
