The Wu family also feels the same for the Lin family's tragic experience.
Under the sympathy of each other, the relationship between the two families suddenly became much closer.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, although there is only one day left to travel to Qingbufang, it is said that the remaining road will pass through many dangerous places. How about you and I combine the fleet into one and hold together to keep warm and move forward together?"
The eldest son of the Lin family is named Lin Ying. He is a middle-aged man with a delicate appearance but an abnormally burly figure. His body is much larger than that of ordinary people. At this time, his eyes moved slightly and he suggested.
"Forget it, this is inappropriate." Wu Renxun hesitated for a moment and then refused.
The Wu family's fleet is not small. If the Lin family's fleet is added in, the number of people will be nearly 30,000. Moreover, the gathering of so many strangers will definitely attract the attention of ghost cultivators, and it will also be a huge attraction to the lost souls, which will most likely cause huge trouble.
"What's wrong? I think fellow Taoist's worry is purely over-worry. Well, fellow Taoist, why not go back tonight and think about it again, and just give an answer tomorrow. With Taoism, when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise. One more point The extra strength will help. As far as I know, if you want to enter Qingbufang, the fierce places on the outside cannot be passed by one or two foundations." Seeing Wu Renxun's refusal, Lin Ying continued to persuade.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter tomorrow." Wu Renxun said with a smile.
Subsequently, at Wu Renxun's request, the Lin family's motorcade retreated a considerable distance to prevent accidents from affecting the Wu family. Finally, the Lin family formed a car formation on the flat land a mile away and began to set up camp.
At this time, while the afterglow of the setting sun was still lingering, the clansmen of the two families naturally communicated with each other and began to exchange urgently needed things with each other.
When the spirit has been depressed for a long time, the need to relieve stress is much greater. If a man and a woman meet their eyes, they will invite each other to the tent.
The elders of the two families adopted a tacit attitude towards this.
Lu Zhong was wandering outside and naturally received many invitations, but he refused them all.
The invitees were only at the Qi Refining Stage. Compared to the Nascent Soul Stage Kun cultivators who were suffering from spiritual energy, these people were really difficult to see. In his eyes, they were not even qualified to be a cauldron.
Compared with the affairs between men and women, he was more interested in the popular food in the north of the mountain.
The soil and water support the people.
Food in different places naturally has local characteristics.
Just like the same wontons, here I prefer to add an elixir seasoning called "red medicinal seeds", and its taste is similar to the chili pepper in Lu Zhong's previous life. Adding it when accompanied with fillings can not only enrich the taste of wontons, but also play a very obvious role in improving freshness.
Compared to the Sturgeon Dragon Emperor, it is also completely different.
In order to enjoy the future, Lu Zhong spent some spiritual stones to buy some seeds from the Wu family and planned to take them back to be planted in the spiritual medicine garden.
The night is getting darker.
This is when Wu Renxun came to visit.
They are discussing the merger of the two teams.
Lu Zhong had a casual attitude towards this. As a middle-stage Nascent Soul monk, his strength was needless to say. There was no problem that couldn't be solved. It didn't matter whether the two companies merged or not.
Wu Renxun, after a period of consideration, was moved by Lin Ying's proposal.
The Wu family monks sent out earlier reported that there were a large number of wandering lost souls on the only way to Qingbufang. Most of these monsters were transformed from mortals, but there were also many monk soul-losers among them, numbering more than 10,000, which could pose a threat to the convoy.
According to Spirit Eagle's reconnaissance, this is basically the case ahead.
So the best way at the moment is naturally for the two teams to stay together.
Just when Wu Renxun wanted to speak.
But at this moment, Lu Zhong, who was sitting quietly, opened his eyes and moved his gaze to the northeast with interest. He could sense that a slender figure suddenly appeared in that direction.
I don't know what he did, but he let out a cold aura.
Almost instantly, this aura covered the two camps like a torrent.
Wu Renxun was unable to notice this. After being covered by this cold aura, his original expression suddenly became dull. Not only him, but other Wu family members in the camp, and even the Lin family members next door, also experienced similar situations.
This situation is like falling into a fantasy.
"Interesting!" Lu Zhong chuckled.
In order to figure out what was going on, he raised his hand and released an avatar, and deliberately let go of the resistance so that the avatar would also be covered by this aura.
…
After Lu Zhong took over the body, the sound of people suddenly came to his ears.
His eyelids trembled slightly and he opened his eyes, but he was surprised to find that he had arrived at a market at some point. There was a constant flow of people around him, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard endlessly. It was as lively as if it was the New Year, and the shops on both sides were all hung up. A big red lantern with a big word "happiness" on it.
In my mind, there are still a lot of memories inexplicably.
Even his identity has increased, and he has become a guest invited to the wedding.
"Am I falling into a fantasy?" Lu Zhong thought thoughtfully.
After trying to remove the takeover of the incarnation, he returned to the outside world smoothly. The strength of his Nascent Soul cultivation base was too strong and he was not affected by the cold aura at all.
Now, as long as Lu Zhong is willing, he can use the "Thunder Approach" thunder method at any time and use the powerful aura of heavenly tribulation to disperse the cold aura shrouding this place.
However, Lu Zhong did not do so immediately.
Glancing to the northwest, he saw clearly the appearance of the slender figure. It was a bride wearing a red headdress, and the vision was filled with strong Yin energy.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but be curious about her origins, and thought to himself: "If what I expected is correct, I should have met a ghost cultivator now. Then again, this power is really weird, it can actually make the foundation The monks were pulled into the environment without realizing it."
As far as Lu Zhong knows, ghost cultivators in this world have similar experiences to demon cultivators. Due to the long-term absorption of negative energy Yin spiritual energy, the body has been greatly affected. While gradually becoming neither human nor ghost, and transforming into a ghost, It is extremely rare for people to remain conscious.
The one in front of me seems to be an exception.
"Perhaps he is a ghost cultivator with inheritance..." Lu Zhong guessed.
Before the rise of immortality, ghost cultivators were as prosperous as witchcraft. However, later on, when the evil spirits were suppressed by the immortals, ghost cultivators suddenly became sourceless water and gradually declined.
"It seems that Middle-earth has experienced great changes. After a large number of creatures died due to the soaring black sea, the Yin spiritual energy in the world suddenly became strong. In addition, the power of the sect family declined due to the disease of soullessness. They can no longer suppress it as powerfully as before. These inherited ghosts Only Xiu dares to show up."
When Lu Zhong thought of this, he was troubled and confused for a long time, and it solved a lot of problems.
He had a rough idea of what the death wave He Yun was talking about was probably a double disaster between the number of lost souls and the rise of ghost cultivators.
Only a crisis of this level can make the Immortal Transformation Sect lower its arrogant head and choose to make peace with the southern barbarian threat, so as to ensure that the source of supplies is constant and it can concentrate all its strength on fighting against the lost souls and ghost cultivators. middle.
Glancing at the ghost cultivator dressed as a bride, Lu Zhong gave up the idea of stabbing him to death with a thunder gun. This ghost can't reach the early stage of pill formation, so he can kill the opponent very easily.
"With my troublesome physique, there is a high probability that I will encounter Nascent Soul stage ghost cultivators in the future, and the chance of conflict is not small. It is necessary to understand the inherited ghost cultivators in advance."
Seeing that the Wu and Lin families were only experiencing a slow loss of body energy and their lives were not seriously affected in a short period of time, Lu Zhong took over the reincarnation again and prepared to go to the illusion to have a look, so that he could know that the ghost cultivators were pulling people into the illusion. the goal of. He always felt that the ghost cultivator dressed up as a bride was not out of his own preference.
…
Open your eyes again.
Lu Zhong found that he had changed places and arrived at a grand mansion. Everything around him was dressed in red and colorful. Red lanterns with the word "happy" were hung on the eaves. The suona trumpet kept playing festive music. It was obvious that a wealthy family was holding a wedding. .
Following the flow of people, he sat on the seat.
Table for eight people.
The table has already been filled with dishes, all of which are ordinary people's dishes, such as sweet and sour carp, Sixi meatballs, etc. There is not even half of spiritual food in sight. It is worth mentioning that the cooking techniques are very particular, and the color, smell and taste are all well mastered. It is obviously made by a famous chef.
Smelling the fragrance makes people twitch their fingers.
"It's a pity. It would be nice if it wasn't an illusion."
Lu Zhong put down Kuai Zi regretfully and turned to look at the people at the same table.
Looking at the costumes of the first six people, they were all members of the two teams. They were both mortals and Qi-refining monks. Their faces were stiff and their eyes were dull. At a glance, it was clear that they were trapped in an illusion and could not extricate themselves.
As for the remaining two...
One was a girl wearing old clothes. Although her face was stiff, she was more frightened. Judging from the random movement of her eyes, it was obvious that she still maintained her intelligence and clarity.
"This is it!" Lu Zhong said softly and looked at her more.
As if confirming something, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he turned his attention to the last person.
This man looked like an octogenarian, with messy gray beard and hair, a thin figure and no flesh on his cheeks, but his sharp eyes were unparalleled. Although he was wearing a gray preacher's robe that had been washed until it turned white, but combined with the sword box on his back, it was estimated that he was a swordsman practicing swordsmanship.
What's interesting is that this sword cultivator also hides his cultivation.
Due to the incarnation of his body, Lu Zhong was unable to see his exact state, but one thing that is certain is that, at least above the foundation building stage, he was most likely at the pill forming stage.
Sensing Lu Zhong's gaze, Jian Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Then, his lips moved and he said through the voice:
"You, you can actually escape from the illusion?"
Hearing Jian Xiu's words, Lu Zhong understood the reason for his surprise. The reason was that due to his revealed cultivation, when both Wu and Lin monks were trapped in illusions and unable to extricate themselves, he, who was in the early stage of foundation building, was not immune to the temptation. The influence of the illusion is indeed too abrupt.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhong made up a reason and said calmly: "This senior, the reason why I was able to escape from the illusion is because I practiced a secret technique passed down from my family."
"Secret technique?"
In this regard, the sword cultivator has no doubts about him.
The Lu Zhong in front of him, both in terms of temperament and specific performance, looked very much like a descendant of an aristocratic family. It is not impossible for an elite monk with such a background, possessing a family secret technique, to escape from the "illusion of rules" of the alchemy ghost cultivator.
"Since you are not controlled by the illusion, I just have something to entrust to you. Now take this girl away with me, as far away as possible!" Jian Xiu pointed at the girl sitting at the same table with the two of them and said in an anxious voice.
"Why are seniors so anxious?" Lu Zhong asked.
Although the sword cultivator in front of him didn't know where he came from, he seemed to know the purpose of the ghost cultivator to enter the illusion. Now that he has met an insider, he naturally refuses to leave easily.
At this moment, all the guests suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the door.
"Woo..." The girl sensed something and was extremely frightened.
"Oh, why didn't you listen to my advice! It's too late now..." The swordsman sighed and stopped trying to persuade Lu Zhong to leave. Instead, he took off the sword case from behind, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Senior, can you explain now why you let this junior leave just now?" Lu Zhong continued to ask.
Hearing this, the sword cultivator stared at Lu Zhong's eyes for a while and then said: "That's fine, I'll just let you be a sensible person so that you don't end up dying!"
Then he pointed to the door, where a red carpet had been rolled out.
A figure wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab was walking slowly from the door. From the snow-white neck inadvertently exposed under the hijab, as well as the slender and graceful figure, it can be seen that this is a beauty, and she is the kind with a very outstanding temperament.
The moment she appeared, Lu Zhong suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Is the avatar in danger?
Next to him, the sword cultivator continued to transmit the message, half sarcastically and half regretfully, saying: "Junior, did you also sense that as soon as the bride appeared, Lingjue immediately started to call the police? Let me tell you, Lingjue's warning this time is true. . Ghost cultivators who have inherited ghost cultivators are not like those lonely ghosts. The techniques they practice are different from the immortal techniques. They need to follow the rules of the techniques to kill people in order to maximize the power of the techniques."
I see!
When Lu Zhong heard this, he finally understood the purpose of Guixiu.
Then again, he has never seen this in the classics. Obviously this is the result of knowledge blockade. In this world where spiritual energy is increasingly depleted, competition among monks becomes increasingly fierce. It can be said that it is inevitable that this kind of thing will happen in China where the immortality is at its peak.
As for what rules ghost cultivators follow.
Lu Zhong didn't need the sword cultivator to remind him, he could guess it in his heart.
Have a wedding.
If there were no accidents, this would definitely be a bloody wedding, followed by a massacre in which all the guests present would die.
"This ghost cultivation method is very similar to evil spirits." Lu Zhong thought of a past event.
Before the Great Wall of Spiritual Qi was blocked, evil spirits were common all over the Southern Barbarians. Even the Bihai area under the jurisdiction of the Bihai Sect was also plagued by a large number of evil spirits, and among them was such a "ghost bride" who had never managed to get in. A low-level disciple of the Shaobi Haizong.
That's why he was so impressed.
According to the records, the ghost bride's murder, like all evil spirits, needs to meet the corresponding rules. The dead disciples of the Bihai Sect were killed by the Ghost Bride during the wedding because they accidentally triggered the killing rules. Each of their deaths was extremely miserable.
Lu Zhong could see that the illusion of rules used by the ghost cultivator was obviously different from the evil murder rules. Evil spirits are passive triggers, while ghost cultivators seem to be forced triggers. Once pulled into their rule illusion, as long as they cannot escape before the node, they will be killed by the ghost cultivators.
No wonder the sword cultivator said it was too late.
