Li Xiuping shook his head and smiled bitterly, then continued to eat with his head down.
This guy had spared him all this time just so that he could drink with him in the future.
Perhaps only in this way, this guy can drink the wine he bought with his own money with peace of mind.
Li Xiuping is too lazy to worry about such trivial matters now. He just wants to finish his meal quickly and then find a place to stabilize his state. It won't take long before he can enter the second floor of the foundation.
Soon, among the discussions around him, there was something that interested Li Xiuping.
"Have you heard about what happened in Majiatun?" a man suddenly asked.
When the others heard this question, they immediately became energetic and put down their wine glasses. After looking around, one of them lowered his voice and asked, "Are you talking about hauntings?"
The man who raised this topic nodded and continued: "I heard that after the New Year celebrations in Majiatun, children started to disappear mysteriously. I invited many capable people and strangers, and tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't solve it. .”
Another person nodded and said: "Ye Xingsi seems to have intervened, but it seems to have no effect."
"Even the Night Travel Division can't solve it. I'm afraid Majiatun will be..."
As he said that, several people shook their heads and sighed at the same time, then continued drinking and talking about other people's affairs.
After all, it was just something that had nothing to do with them, so it was just a matter of talking about it. Apart from being used to drink, it seemed to have no use.
Li Xiuping asked: "Shall we go and take a look?"
The man in white nodded and said: "This kind of thing must have benefits. At the worst, you can also get a reward from the government."
Li Xiuping didn't think much about it, he was just curious about what the so-called ghosts looked like.
He had heard a lot of things related to ghosts before, but he had never actually encountered one. Even if there was a sudden outbreak of monsters in Qingyang County, they were just some monsters, not the same as the more monsters in the rumors.
According to the rumors, monsters come and go without a trace, soar in the clouds and mist, call the wind and rain, and can change in various ways, which is miraculous... It is a pity that even if you go to Huayang Sect and embark on the path of cultivation, you can't see it.
With the decision made, the two of them finished the meal quickly, then inquired about the location of Majiatun, and headed straight towards Majiatun.
The two of them walked around the mountains for a long time and finally reached their destination before dark.
Majiatun is located between the mountains, with only forty or fifty households. At this moment, the smoke should be curling up, but the whole village seems dead and silent, as if it is covered by an invisible cloud.
To enter the village, you need to climb a stone arch bridge.
On the stone arch bridge, there are various yellow talismans pasted on them, many of which Li Xiuping has never even heard of. They are basically products used by folk alchemists to fool ghosts and deceive people. They have no real effect, but there are some with good qualities among them. The real material of the grade.
Those who can produce such talismans are certainly not ordinary people, but they still failed to solve the problem in Majiatun, which shows that things here are not that simple.
Li Xiuping took the lead on the stone arch bridge and couldn't help but ask: "Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?"
The man in white did not answer, but smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."
Li Xiuping pulled off a talisman from the guardrail of the stone sculpture, felt the spiritual power contained in it, and asked, "What is the difference between a demon and a monster?"
At this time, Li Xiuping still believed that the man who called himself the Jiuxian had some abilities, and at least he should be a well-informed person.
The man in white said: "Monsters, also called monsters, spirits, ghosts, are a kind of thing produced by the creation of heaven and earth. A tree or a bird, because of some chance, mastered the method of cultivation, can change on its own, spit out People say that if a person hides his demonic body, he is a monster; if spiritual energy gathers in a certain place, or resentment rises to the sky, and over the years, some kind of change occurs, and spiritual consciousness and wisdom are born, he is a spirit; if a person dies, his soul is lost. Those who reincarnate, wander around the world, absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, or are corroded by resentment and evil spirits, are ghosts.”
Li Xiuping nodded and continued listening.
The man in white continued: "As for the demonic beasts, they are a race similar to humans. They have existed since the beginning of the existence of heaven and earth. They have reproduced and have their own inheritance. Their strength and realm are affected by blood inheritance. Of course, opportunities are not ruled out. In creation, you need to first retreat from the beast body and then practice in a new way before you can achieve anything. Generally speaking, monsters below the Nascent Soul stage are not too strong. What they rely on is nothing more than their own blood. With the inheritance and the powerful physique from monsters and bodies, monsters at the same level are rarely the opponents of human monks."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Will you be stronger after Nascent Soul?"
The man in white nodded and said: "After the Nascent Soul, not only do you have the powerful physique inherent in monsters, but you can also practice like human monks and master various spells and magical powers. They are naturally stronger. Generally speaking, among the same level, It would be difficult for a human monk to kill such a monster."
He smiled slightly and continued: "However, human beings are the leader of all spirits after all, and the gap between bodies can be made up with various magic weapons. Therefore, there are various magic weapons and magical powers against evil spirits and ghosts. As long as they are sacrificed, even if Even if you are defeated, you can still protect yourself.”
Li Xiuping nodded again, looked at the village ahead, and asked, "Is this kind of ghost more difficult to deal with?"
The man in white also looked at the village in front and replied: "It depends on the situation. Everything has its own strength and weakness. A ferocious ghost is really difficult to deal with. This thing is hard to see with the naked eye and comes and goes without a trace. Without special magic weapons, there is absolutely nothing you can do with them."
Probably knowing what Li Xiuping was thinking, the man in white said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are now a foundation-building monk after all, and you have such a huge sword intention in your body. As long as it is not the kind of serious evil that is rare in the world, you will not dare to get close. "
Li Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "With an immortal like you here, what should I be afraid of?"
The man in white chuckled.
As the two of them walked into the village, Li Xiuping clearly felt that the speed of the sword intention in his body was affected, as if there was something restricting the movement of the sword intention in his body, but this thing could not be seen or touched.
"Is this evil spirit?" Li Xiuping asked.
The man in white nodded, did not speak, but observed something from left to right.
Just at this time, several men came towards this side, stood in front of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "I, the Night Travel Department, are here to perform official duties. Anyone else waiting here should leave quickly."
Li Xiuping directly took out the black iron order and said, "I am also from the Night Travel Division. Take me to see the person in charge."
Everyone looked at the black iron order in Li Xiuping's hand. They didn't know whether it was true or false for a while, but they didn't dare to show any slights. At the same time, they saluted and said, "I have met you, sir."
After saying that, he moved out of the way, and then led the way for Li Xiuping and the other two, while a man quickly ran back to the village to report.
After walking into the village, Li Xiping asked, "What's going on here?"
The person leading the way couldn't help but frown and asked, "My lord, you don't know?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I was just passing by. I heard that there are evil spirits causing trouble here, and the Night Travel Division is involved, so I came here to see if I can be of any help."
The man nodded without much doubt.
Those who can possess the Black Iron Order have a high status in the Night Travel Division, and the holders of the Black Iron Order do not belong to a specific group of people. Many people in the world will also possess the Black Iron Order. Such people generally have them. With great ability, he is usually almost outside the control of the Night Travel Department. He travels around the world and only takes action when he encounters similar strange incidents.
The two people in front of them seem to have extraordinary bearings at first glance, and they obviously have real abilities. Now that they are here, they may be able to solve the matter in Majiatun. After all, they have been here for a while, and not only have they failed to solve the strange events here , many people were even affected by evil spirits and became delirious.
Because of the monster issue in Yunzhou, the Night Travel Division has mobilized most of its forces, and now the available manpower is very few. After receiving the mission, their team came to investigate, and then reported the situation here, but Until now, no support has been sent from above.
If this continues, let alone solving the situation in Majiatun, I don't know whether they can leave Majiatun alive.
After a while, a big man with a beard led a few people and ran towards this side. After seeing Li Xiuping, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Young man, I have met these two adults."
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said, "Big brother, you don't have to be polite."
Li Xiuping asked again: "What's the situation now?"
The bearded man sighed, as if unable to finish his words, and said, "Sir, please follow me."
With that said, he led Li Xiuping towards a courtyard.
After entering the yard, I heard various strange sounds coming from the house, some crying, some laughing, weird and harsh.
In front of the door of the house, two nocturnal men stood holding knives. After seeing the bearded man, they saluted at the same time.
The bearded man raised his hand and said, "Open the door."
Two men opened the door, and the sounds of crying and laughing became even louder.
The bearded man said to Li Xiuping, "Sir, please come in."
Li Xiuping frowned and walked towards the house. He saw an oil lamp burning in the house, illuminating the originally dark room. There were seven or eight people tied to pillars in the house, and their faces were ashen, glowing blue under the light. Very penetrating.
Li Xiuping had never seen such a scene before. His brows could not help but furrow deeper and he could only look at the man in white.
What Li Xiuping didn't expect was that the man in white actually spread his hands and said, "I can't help it."
Li Xiuping could only ask: "How long has this been going on?"
The bearded man quickly replied: "It's been three days. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid..."
Li Xiuping then asked: "Why did it become like this?"
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Three days ago, there was a strange noise in the village. They were on duty at that time. When we arrived, it was already like this. Judging from the symptoms, it should be an evil spirit coming in. I can't find a solution for a while, so I can only restrain them, tie them here, and wait for instructions from above."
As he said that, the bearded man looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Can your Excellency save them?"
After all, Li Xiuping had stayed in the Night Travel Division for two years, and he knew the men in the Night Travel Division quite well, so he naturally knew what this man was thinking.
After all, these people are his subordinates. If they die like this, he will naturally feel uncomfortable and naturally hopes to save the lives of these people.
Li Xiuping replied: "I'll try it first, but I may not succeed."
The bearded man said bitterly: "It's enough if you are willing to take action. If it still doesn't work, it will only cost them their lives."
Li Xiuping continued: "First tell me about the situation here."
The bearded man should also know that this is not the place to talk, so he turned sideways and said, "My lord, please come this way."
Everyone moved to another room, and the others were waiting outside. Only the bearded man took Li Xiuping into the room, and then began to tell what he knew about the situation one by one.
From beginning to end, the man in white just listened, taking a sip of wine from time to time, with no intention of intervening.
By the time the bearded man finished his report, it was already night time, the thick night was shining on the earth, and even the moonlight had been blocked by dark clouds.
According to this bearded man, they came here five days ago, and nothing happened in the first two days. Just three days ago, the situation with those people appeared, and until now, nothing happened again. matter.
During this period, they also used some special methods, but they did not see anything strange in the entire Majiatun.
After the bearded man finished speaking, he asked: "Sir, what should we do?"
Li Xiuping was confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "Rescue them first. They should know more."
The bearded man nodded and said, "I thought so too, that's why I took the adults to see them earlier."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but glance at the man in white again, only to find that the guy was leaning on the back of his chair with his eyes closed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Judging from this guy's calm expression, Li Xiuping knew that he must be able to deal with it, but he just didn't want to take action.
Li Xiuping naturally didn't dare to ask him for help. In the final analysis, this matter had nothing to do with him. But with this person here, Li Xiuping could not help but feel a lot more at ease. At least if something really big trouble happened, this guy wouldn't Maybe he really just sat back and ignored it, at least he wouldn't put himself in danger, otherwise he wouldn't have had to save himself before.
Li Xiuping walked out of the house directly and walked towards the room where those men were hanging.
According to what the bearded man said and Li Xiuping's own guess, he felt that these people should have been corroded by evil spirits. As long as the evil spirits were removed from these people, they should be able to recover.
Once these people regain their consciousness, they should be able to get some useful information.
Of course, Li Xiuping didn't know whether this method would work. After all, he had never tried it before.
Li Xiuping walked into the room and asked the others to guard outside. Then he walked towards one of them, closed his eyes, and released his consciousness.
He planned to use his spiritual consciousness to enter Xiren's body first, determine the situation of these people, and then come up with solutions based on the situation of these people.
As his spiritual consciousness entered the body of one of them, Li Xiuping's expression suddenly changed, and he was also shocked. Because after his spiritual consciousness entered the other person's body, it was as if he had suddenly entered a bottomless abyss, or entered an abyss. Invisible cage...
Some people died, but not completely...
