Three poles in the sun, at noon.
On a hilltop, three figures appeared along the sunlight. Under the sunlight, the three figures made it difficult to see the details.
"Brother, there is a town ahead, and there seem to be people there." Wang Qizheng pointed to a town below and said.
Looking down from a high place, you can see the whole town clearly. It is not comparable to the villages we encountered before. It is a big town.
They had been up all night, and had been on the road until now, and then they discovered this big town.
"Let's go."
Song Yin glanced at the town in front of him, jumped up, picked up the yellow wind, fell directly from the height, and rushed towards the town.
There are no city walls or fences in this town, and naturally there are no gatekeepers or the like. The buildings in the town are not arranged in such a hierarchical manner. There are large houses and bungalows, and there are also shops around. But the strange thing is...
nobody.
At this time, the town was unusually quiet. When Song Yin and the others approached, they could only see that the doors and windows of every house were closed. The streets were empty, not even garbage, and they were very clean.
Even a deserted village would leave something with a breath of life behind, but this town was as clean as if it had been licked.
Zhang Feixuan shook his folding fan, glanced around, and said, "Another deserted place? Have everyone fled?"
Song Yin didn't say anything and continued to move forward, past these buildings with closed doors and windows, and arrived at the center of the town.
Zhang Fei
Behind them, with the doors and windows closed, is a complete building.
As they moved forward, the doors of those buildings were wide open, and some even had no doors. The houses were even more empty. Except for a few wooden furniture, it was as clean as this street, with nothing else.
The locations of the vendors on the street are also very strange. There are a few vertical wooden poles, which look like they are used to support the sheds, but the shed cloth is obviously missing. The ground is clean, but there are some wooden boards left here.
It was as if he had been visited by some bandits.
"this"
Zhang Feixuan didn't understand, "You ran away and took everything with you?"
Song Yin shook his head, then looked back at a house with closed doors and windows, walked up and knocked on the door: "Fellow, open the door."
Anyone?
Zhang Feixuan and Wang Qizheng were both stunned. There seemed to be no one around them.
Including the door of the house where Song Yin was knocking, no matter how hard he knocked, there was still no sound.
But senior brother is unmistakable.
"Senior brother, let me come!"
Wang Qi was rolling up his sleeves, his open chest bulging, and he stepped forward to knock down the broken wooden door with one punch.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound inside the door, followed by a weak voice.
"Yes, who is it?"
Song Yin smiled and said: "Fellow fellow, I am a monk from the Golden Immortal Sect, specializing in slaying demons and slaying demons. I dare to ask where this is and what happened, so that you can stay behind closed doors."
"Xiu, Taoist. Great Immortal?"
The voice inside the door was obviously surprised. The door shook, as if it was trying to open the door, but soon other sounds came from inside and stopped the door.
"Great Immortal, this is Huren Town. Let's go quickly. There's a monster here, and many people have fled." A voice came from inside the door.
"Don't open the door yet?!"
Wang Qizheng said unhappily: "Hey, my senior brother wants to talk to you with good intentions, why don't you open the door!"
"Third Junior Brother"
Song Yin glanced at him, somewhat displeased.
Wang Qizheng took a step back and smiled: "Brother, I'm just unhappy."
Song Yin shook his head and said to the door: "Fellow, we are here to get rid of the monsters. Just tell us what monsters they are, what their characteristics are, and where they are."
"The Immortal misunderstood. If I were a real Immortal, my small door would have been opened long ago. It is not that I don't want to, but I really can't. The monster is unpredictable. It often imitates human voices and asks people to open the door, but once it is leaked, Open the door, and the monster turns into the wind and comes in. It neither kills nor eats people, but the wind is so strong that all the belongings in the house are swept away, leaving nothing behind."
"The Great Immortal came here and saw that the outside was cleaner than a dog licking. Except for the wood, it didn't want anything, and everything else was swept away by it. Many people have fled because of this, and we really don't want to leave our hometown, so we Stayed.”
Zhang Fei
"Yes! Just as the immortal said, it's the wind!" The person inside the door said in surprise.
"Second Junior Brother?" Song Yin looked over.
"Senior brother, they should be talking about 'Ghost Wind'. This is the medicinal material we want."
Zhang Feixuan said: "That Guifeng likes this, but it is not a 'ghost', it is a 'monster'. Its body is a swirling wind, but the strangeness is here."
Song Yin suppressed his words and cupped his hands towards the wooden door: "Okay, sorry for disturbing my fellow villagers."
With that said, he walked away from the building, came to the center of the street, and said, "Keep talking."
"Senior brother, the ghost wind is originally a wind generated when mortals worship the dead. It itself represents the demands of the dead, so it will sweep away paper money and the like. It also likes to follow people and sweep them away. I’ve never heard of things falling down, but I’ve never heard of the ghost wind being able to sweep up half the town." Zhang Feixuan said.
"Ah, is it Guifeng? That's strange."
Wang Qi was looking at the clean street and tutted: "Half the town was wiped out. I've never seen it before."
Zhang Feixuan nodded: "It's really strange. The ghost wind is a spirit. It doesn't hurt people, and even mortals can't detect it. But it can sweep up half the town."
Just like ants, you won't think anything when you see one, and you won't have any reaction when you see a nest. But if you see an overwhelming ant colony occupying half of the town, then nothing will happen.
He pursed his lips and continued: "This ghost wind usually appears in those homes where there are few sacrifices, and it is not always born. There have been no major festivals recently. Even if someone has something like the first seven years The ghost wind produced by the sacrifice is also very small and will dissipate quickly. I have never heard that the ghost wind will last for a long time."
If it was just Guifeng, they were relieved.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a big monster. It doesn’t eat people. It will dissipate when it’s rolled up enough. No matter how big it is, it will dissipate.
But in the current situation, this ghostly wind has obviously existed for a long time, causing the news to have spread around before anyone could escape.
What's even more strange is that from what the mortals inside the door said, can the ghostly wind deceive people into opening the door? Then take things away
Can a spirit become a spirit again?
At this time, Song Yin looked forward, "No need to guess, you will know just by looking at it."
Following Song Yin's words, the two of them subconsciously looked over there, and saw an inexplicable black evil in the sky, swirling there, and burst into the town in an instant.
This black evil wind divided into several strands and instantly penetrated into those empty buildings with their doors wide open, where they kept swirling.
It was obviously the wind, but it made no sound when it blew. Even if it rolled the building, it did not move the wooden tables and chairs that were left behind. It was quiet.
The wind quickly passed through half of the town, swirling on the ground, and reached the closed houses.
knock knock
Inexplicably, when the wind swept over them, there was a sudden knocking sound on those doors and windows.
"Fellow, open the door."
"It's me! It's me."
"Your grandpa is back."
"Open the door quickly, I am the immortal you are worshiping!"
Countless voices mixed together and resounded in this town.
