After Lu Zhengzhong and his group left, Chen Ping and Yu Lingchun returned to the house.
Seeing that Yu Lingchun was worried, Chen Ping comforted him and said:
"It's nothing. It's most likely a coincidence. Don't worry. Of course, to be on the safe side, it's best for us to go out less during this period and just practice at home."
Yu Lingchun nodded in agreement.
In fact, even if there is no danger, Chen Ping will choose to stay behind closed doors because his realm is about to break through the ninth level.
It’s always a joy to count the days until a breakthrough!
Time flew by.
More than ten days later, Chen Ping, who was in meditation, took a long breath.
'Finally, I've reached the ninth level of Qi training. ,
He opened the panel and took a look.
[Name: Chen Ping. 】
[Life span: 24/131. 】
[Realm: Qi training (ninth level): 1/100. 】
【......】
'The life span has reached 131 years. This is the life span that a cultivator should have. The previous 71 years was really too shabby. ,
It has reached the 9th level. Excluding the more than 40 days of delay during the migration, it only took a little more than two months to reach the ninth level this time. It is true that the resources are in place and the practice is doubled! ,
'With a spell that transcends three levels of combat, plus nine levels of cultivation, I am invincible under the foundation. ,
No, no.
How could I have such an idea?
In this Yunzhong City, many Qi-training monks may have the Foundation Establishment family standing behind them, so they have to be more cautious.
Just take it step by step, practice steadily, don't fight or grab, and everything you should have will eventually come to you.
Slowly burn them to death, burn everyone to death.
Chen Ping took a sip of boiled water and felt refreshed.
He got up and went out to the outer courtyard, and saw that the door of his neighbor Lu Zhengzhong's house was open. He remembered that Lu Zhengzhong had said before that the dead Lianyun City monk had been sent to the inner city for examination, and he didn't know what the conclusion was.
Decided to pay a visit and ask about the truth.
So I took a few evil-proof charms whose spiritual power had been partially consumed as gifts and went to visit the neighbors.
Knocked on the door:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you at home?"
The wooden door opened with a creak, and Mo Xuebi, wearing a light blue double-breasted skirt, stood at the door. When she saw Chen Ping, she had a charming smile on her face:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please come in quickly."
Chen Ping said politely:
"Have you met Fellow Daoist Mo, are Fellow Daoist Lu at home?"
"What? Do you dare to come in only when my old man Lu is not at home?" Mo Xuebi joked, with a meaningful smile on her face.
this...
Am I being teased?
Mo Xuebi looks like she is in her early thirties, Cao's favorite age, and has a pair of affectionate eyes... Such a woman is not ordinary at first sight.
Women in their thirties are like tigers.
Although Lu Zhengzhong is at the ninth level of qi training, he may not be able to control his slim figure.
Chen Ping smiled slightly and dropped the topic, saying calmly:
"It's been a long time since I moved here and I haven't visited them yet, so I thought I'd come over today to visit Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Mo. By the way, I also wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Lu about something."
Mo Xuebi returned to normal:
"That's really unfortunate. Lao Lu is not at home today."
Hearing this, Chen Ping felt a little regretful.
If the two casual cultivators from Lianyuncheng who died were not accidental, then this matter was related to his safety and he had to understand it clearly.
It's a pity that Lu Zhengzhong is not at home.
He chatted with Mo Xuebi for a while, left the evil amulet, and then left on the pretext that he had something to do. After all, it is not very convenient for someone else's woman to stay alone at home for a long time.
It’s better to go home and practice.
Two days later.
When they were active in the yard again, they met Mo Xuebi again.
Chen Ping exchanged greetings across the short courtyard wall:
"Fellow Daoist Mo, are you Daoist Lu at home?"
Mo Xuebi turned her head to see Chen Ping, then turned to look at Chen Ping's house, with a pair of talking eyes with a smile:
"Then do you want him to be here or not?"
this...
This woman is a bit of a tiger.
He talks flirtatiously at every turn.
If he didn't have better self-control, who would be able to resist becoming a thief?
Seeing Chen Ping deflated, Mo Xuebi burst into laughter:
"I'm just joking with Daoyou Chen. We are all pure and kind people, and we are not romantic women. Who can really be so wild? This life is hard enough. We usually have more laughter. I see you tense up at all times, like It's like someone wants to harm you. That's why I thought of making fun of you."
"Lao Lu is not at home. What do you want to ask him about? Tell me."
Chen Ping:......
There is no explanation for this.
He was completely at ease only when he was in his own house. When you leave the wooden door, you will unconsciously become more vigilant.
After all, I feel uneasy about the world.
With a sense of luck, he casually told what Lu Zhengzhong had said before.
But I didn't expect Mo Xuebi to really know.
After hearing what Chen Ping said, she recalled:
"Is this what Fellow Daoist Chen is talking about? I know this, I heard Lao Lu say it. It was not caused by demonic cultivators, but by evil spirits. A few days ago, the children of the Yun family made a special trip to this town to ward off evil spirits."
"Did Fellow Daoist Chen not go out for many days? In fact, this matter has already become a hot topic. You can find out if you go out and ask any monk."
Evil?
Chen Ping's heart tightened.
Not a demon cultivator?
Evil spirits are much more difficult to deal with.
And it's already causing quite a stir?
Chen Ping asked quickly:
"Didn't the children of the Yun family suppress evil spirits once? What was the result?"
"Harm, I said I killed an evil spirit. But later, there were still monks who died unexpectedly. Fellow Taoists should also know that evil spirits are weird and unpredictable. Only if it shows up on its own initiative, we and other high-level monks can kill it. But if it Hiding in the dark, even leaving Yunzhong City and coming back from time to time, it's really hard to find." Mo Xuebi said.
After a pause, his voice lowered again:
"Fellow Daoist Chen is from Lianyun City, right? I heard that two monks from Lianyun City died later. Fellow Daoist, it's better to be careful."
Chen Ping was shocked.
Countless question marks also popped up in my mind.
Are the monks from Lianyuncheng being targeted?
Why?
Or a coincidence?
He quickly asked Mo Xuebi and found out that 7 people had died.
These seven people have all had experiences in Izumo Middle City in recent months. The Yun family believes that they have encountered evil spirits when they went out, and they will hurt themselves.
Therefore, after carefully suppressing the evil spirits twice, although there are still monks responsible for the evil spirits, the focus is no longer on it.
It belongs to the level of 'calling the police in case of trouble.
Among these seven people, four are monks from Lianyun City.
This... I'm afraid it's not a coincidence.
'The monks in Lianyuncheng are being targeted. ,
'Or, as the Yun family's children said, the four dead Lianyun City monks were all infected with evil spirits during their migration? ,
Infected with evil spirits?
Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the scene he saw with Brother Cao that day.
If this is the case, then Brother Cao will definitely die.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't sit still anymore and had to go and confirm immediately.
Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night.
Chen Ping prepared for a moment and then went out.
According to the address given by Brother Cao before, we quickly found Brother Cao's house. It was not far from Chen Ping's residence and only two streets apart. They were all high-end houses.
Brother Cao is a rich man.
Chen Ping stood outside Brother Cao's house, looked up at the Zhengyang sky, the Yang energy was strong, and touched the evil-proofing and evil-suppressing charms in his arms.
All are there.
No fever.
Take a deep breath, and then bang the wooden door:
"Fellow Daoist Cao, Fellow Daoist Cao, are you at home?"
I called several times but got no reply.
...Could he really be dead?
'If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Although this idea is very unkind, if Brother Cao is really dead, it means that only those who are infected with evil spirits will die. This means that after the corpse is disposed of, other people will be fine and will not be killed. implicated. ,
This has always been the case in the world of immortality.
A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist.
Perhaps because the knocking on the door was a little loud, a young female nun next door came out:
"Fellow Taoist, the sound of your knocking on the door can be heard in the next street. ...Are you looking for fellow Taoist Cao Abo?"
Chen Ping apologized:
"Sorry, I was a little impatient. I didn't intend to disturb Fellow Daoist, and I hope you can forgive me. I am a friend of Fellow Daoist Cao. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Cao... is Fellow Daoist Cao at home recently?"
The young female cultivator's face softened a lot:
"I saw him last night, but not today."
not dead?
Although he was not kind, Chen Ping was actually a little disappointed.
This means that those who died may not have been infected by evil spirits outside.
"By the way, if you want to see fellow Taoist Cao again, it's best to come back at night. In recent days, I've seen fellow Taoist Cao come home only after dark. He must be busy outside during the day." The female cultivator reminded her kindly.
Chen Ping was stunned again.
Are you busy during the day and don’t go home until dark?
Doesn’t this monk Cao make a living by collecting herbs? Logically speaking, it is normal to either go out for several days in a row or stay at home every day.
'I don't understand, but anyway, let's come over tonight and talk about it. Just have to figure it out. ,
'Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you live in fear every day. Evil spirits don't care whether you live above ground or underground. ,
Chen Ping thanked the female cultivator and returned home with his thoughts in mind.
