The wilderness on the outskirts of the city is full of trees and overgrown weeds.
In the vaguely dilapidated and deserted village, the ruins and ruins seem to be there, vaguely showing what they looked like a hundred years ago.
The evening breeze blows and the vegetation sways, adding to the desolation.
However, in this place that should be rarely visited, some tents are standing neatly, patrolled by sergeants and followed by dogs.
This is where the elite troops from the Demon-Suppressing Division and the Holy Capital Guard have set up camp here, preparing to use it as a temporary surveillance location and strictly control it.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard on the official road under the moonlight.
Amidst the flying smoke and dust, a group of people galloped on the road on fast horses, and soon arrived in front of the camp.
The school lieutenant who was responsible for guarding the intersection led someone forward to check. After seeing clearly the person's clothes and face, he quickly got off his horse and saluted with his hands in hand.
"See Mr. Li!"
Li Fan got off his horse, followed by Xue An, Yan Yuandi and others.
"How is everything going here lately?"
"Sir, everything is fine. We are guarding here and have not found any strangers trying to break in."
Li Fan nodded, and then seemingly casually asked about the soldiers' daily routine and diet, and then led everyone inside.
Zhou Gui, Wang Ruhai, Wan Cheng and others who were responsible for guarding this place came after hearing the news and saluted.
"You continue to stay here and keep a good watch while we go in to check."
Li Fan ordered.
Zhou Gui expressed concern: "Sir, there is no need for you to go into battle in person."
When Li Fan heard this, he smiled calmly.
As a senior member of the Demon Suppression Department, he can certainly avoid most of the exploration tasks without putting himself in danger.
But he consulted the classics and found that throughout the ages, the real strong men came from warriors who often traveled and explored various places.
As the saying goes, a powerful general emerges from the ranks of soldiers. Without this valuable personal experience, even if you master the most powerful exotic treasure, you will not be able to control it freely.
Now that he has mastered his own weirdness to the extreme, even his extraordinary body has been completely achieved. If he wants to go further, he can really only rely on his sudden enlightenment.
Perhaps only a strong will that has experienced many life and death catastrophes can control the treacherousness of the devil's puzzle level.
Yan Yuandi and others are his right-hand assistants, and they also want to be rewarded for their meritorious service, so as to facilitate subsequent promotion.
This is necessary to further master the Demon Suppression Division.
Soon after, everyone arrived at the entrance of the sheep market.
This is where a village street is located. The surrounding weeds have long been cleared away, and the stone paths on the ground can be vaguely seen.
The round moon hangs high in the sky, and its cold light flows down like mercury, drawing a long white line between the sky and the earth.
After this white line fell in the sky over the deserted village, it seemed to be blocked by a strange invisible force and poured towards both sides.
With the power gathered by the full moonlight, a huge outline appeared, including in the mountain village, some buildings and roads that did not originally exist in this world began to emerge, with numerous figures, like ghosts in the dark night.
Everyone felt an inexplicable strange aura coming from them. Even if they didn't have the eyes to see the truth, they seemed to be able to feel that there was a portal in front of them.
"This is it!"
Zhang Ergou volunteered and stepped into the door first.
Following closely behind were several alien masters.
Then, Li Chuan, Yan Yuandi and others also stepped into it.
In the blink of an eye, a market scene like a gathering of villagers and mountain people doing business appeared in front of everyone.
It was actually daytime here, and bustling crowds came into view, with vendors selling goods and merchants communicating, showing a lively popularity.
If everyone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be almost unbelievable that this place would be a place where strange rumors arose.
"Yangshi...Yangshi?"
For some reason, everyone suddenly thought of this
The homophonic words suddenly surprised me.
"It's incredible. In the blink of an eye, it feels like a lifetime ago."
"No wonder it was said before that the sky here is opposite to the outside, and the people seem to be the opposite. There are folk legends about the underworld and the underworld. The people living here should also be monsters and ghosts."
Although everything they saw was normal, and the vendors and pedestrians all looked like normal people, everyone's hearts did not feel at all stable. Instead, they became tense, and each of them felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Just as day and night are upside down, the people and ghosts in this world seem to be upside down as well.
They don't need to have any discerning eyes to guess that what they see in front of them must all be evil spirits!
Fortunately, everyone entered on their own initiative. If they were involved in it due to various accidents and had no idea what was going on, they would definitely be harmed by these ghosts disguised as living people!
While everyone was on guard, surprised, or nervous, Li Ao had a calm expression on his face, and there was no wave in his heart at all.
This is not because he used his clairvoyant eyes to see clearly the truth in front of him, but because he has experienced the adventures of Hujiazhuang's mysterious land and Taoshan city scenery.
There are some things that are not surprising once you are used to them.
At this moment, a warning signal suddenly flashed through Li Fan's heart.
He suddenly had an inexplicable intuition that someone was spying on him secretly.
"Is it a human or an evil spirit?"
He turned his head and looked around, his eyes stinging slightly as he activated the magic of the Eye of True Dharma.
But all I could see were handwriting as pale as firelight mixed together, bursts of light condensing into one.
The streets are full of demons, with so many forces intertwined that it is impossible to distinguish one from another.
He followed his intuition and looked over, but found nothing at all.
"It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Don't stand still. Get out of here quickly."
Li Ao pondered for a moment and said to the people next to him.
Everyone agreed and followed him forward.
"Sir, the territory here is not big, just the size of a small village. However, a hundred years ago there were many businessmen and travelers, and it was quite lively on the fair day.
The scene presented on this full-moon night should be the market day in neighboring Baxiang Township. "
When everyone heard the words, they were thoughtful.
It's a pity that even Zhang Ergou and others who have entered this place are not very clear about what is inside. They can only combine the confessions of those captured strangers from the wild rivers and lakes, as well as the sheepherders, Cai Shou and others. , pretending to be a passerby visiting the market here, looking for opportunities casually.
This is also one of the secrets of exploring strange places. Join in and enjoy the scenery.
When they were in the Hujiazhuang Guiyu, Li Fan and Yang Ju once went to the bridal chamber of the evil spirits.
In order to adapt to the scene, everyone had specially changed into casual clothes before, but now it looked like a large group of servants wandering around the market surrounded by the young master of the landlord's family.
Li Fan touched his chin, and suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate to lead a big dog, hold a beautiful woman in his arms, and ask everyone around him to clear the way like evil servants.
Suddenly, a tempting aroma came over.
Everyone turned to look, and saw that they had inadvertently arrived at a restaurant. A big flag with the word "sheep" was hanging high next to it, and someone was drinking sheep soup and eating steamed buns.
"Well……"
Everyone thought of the legend of humans and sheep, and their expressions changed for a moment.
Li Fan suddenly discovered that the mutton soup seemed to be a strange derivative.
"Exotic treasure (mutton) (derivative)"
"The best goat meat has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing qi"
