Black night, under the dark night Shanshan comes late.
"It should be right here."
Jiang Qin stopped first. She looked at the house with red lanterns hanging in front of her, and her beautiful eyebrows gradually furrowed.
Just standing in front of the door, she felt a strange malice.
The malice was not directed at her, but was entrenched in this place, as if she had arrived at the lair of a poisonous snake. The dangerous snake was spitting messages and hiding in the dark to spy on uninvited guests.
"What a strange smell..."
Xia Zhichan's face gradually became serious. He was not a secluded ascetic like Jiang Qin. His many years of traveling in the world had allowed him to encounter almost all the monsters and monsters recorded in the books.
So it is no exaggeration to say that he can tell the origin of the other party from the smell.
In all these years, he had only one time when his judgment was unclear. That was when she met the thirteenth-floor killer who used her own body to raise demons in Dong's old store. Her body contained both human and demon qualities.
Now, he met for the second time.
"There is evil spirit, but it is definitely not a simple monster. There is also a ghostly smell here. Well, the last smell...could it be an 'evil'?"
Xia Zhichan raised her head and looked at the black plaque with only the faint moonlight on it. The black paint on it didn't look like it had just been painted on, but it was glowing with an unusual color.
The color made him feel sick.
"Sha? What is that..."
Jiang Qin has specialized in swordsmanship for many years. Although she comes from an orthodox Taoist sect, she knows nothing about demons and monsters.
"Well, it stands to reason that evil spirits should not be born in such a place. According to the records in the book, evil spirits are monsters that are born from the fusion of strong murderous aura and numerous undead souls. They are neither humans nor monsters. Half ghost, half devil.”
As Xia Zhichan was speaking, he watched helplessly as the black plaque in his eyes changed its handwriting. The traces of pen and ink on it were like poisonous snakes twisting their bodies. They squirmed for a while and then stopped.
"The Nangong family..."
Obviously, these three words were not on the plaque just now, but now they suddenly appeared in front of the two people, and these three words were made up of twisted claw marks, and there was a hint of hostility in every line.
Gudong, Xia Zhichan swallowed.
He looked at those three words, and there seemed to be a thud in his mind. He wanted to understand something. It seemed that his appearance here today was not an accident, but something that was destined.
"Senior sister, it turns out you are already here, I..."
A flash of red light passed by, and the specially dressed Taoist Chimei appeared in front of the two of them. Instead of holding a sword, he pretended to be elegant and took the Xiang Fei bamboo fan with a gold edge on one side.
He shook the fan in his hand, not caring that it was already late autumn. This time, Jiang Qin was invited to come to this place to catch monsters together, in order to show his strength in front of women and perform well.
Not only do they need to catch monsters, but they also need to find opportunities for a hero to save the beauty.
Chimei thought well, but as soon as he turned away from the light, he saw Jiang Qin, who was dressed cutely, standing with a man.
He was immediately angry, but he couldn't lose his composure in front of the woman. He could only point his fan at Xia Zhichan, and asked Jiang Qin with a smile:
"Senior sister, this person is..."
"Lingguan Xia Zhichan... If you want to know who I am, why not ask me directly?"
It seemed to Xia Zhichan that the man actually ignored her and talked to Jiang Qin. She pretended to be elegant and wore a white brocade robe with a moire pattern, and dangled an expensive-looking bamboo fan in her hand.
"Oh, so you are Xia Lingguan... You look like a mortal. What kind of cultivation are you? My senior sister and I are going to go into this house to catch monsters. If you have nothing to do, please leave as soon as possible."
Chimei looked up and down and found that Xia Lingguan might be more miserable than she thought. There was only a layer of immortal energy all over his body that was so thin that it was almost non-existent. He didn't look like a powerful character.
This Kunlong Mountain is really getting worse from generation to generation, but that's right. How can they compare with the authentic Taoist sect that has been passed down for who knows how long? It sounds like nothing more than some wild fox Zen.
He shook the fan as if to swat away flies.
"Ah--"
Xia Zhichan just sneered, not even thinking about talking to Chimei.
"Don't say I didn't tell you. There should be a thousand-year-old ghost king in this courtyard. For a person with low magic power like you, there is only one way to die if you go in. Don't blame me for not being able to save you."
As Chimei spoke, he pointed at the closed door with his fan. He originally planned to drive away the troublesome Xia Lingguan no matter what, so as not to disturb him and his senior sister.
But then he thought about it, if he met a powerful monster, how could he show his profound Taoism without anyone to support him? So he changed his words and secretly planned to anger Xia Zhichan and make the latter angry no matter what. Want to go in.
Then it would be best if he was almost eaten by a monster and could only run away in a panic while crying for help. It would be up to you whether to save him or not depending on your mood.
Before anyone went in, Chimei had already designed the plot in her mind, and the content was as rich as a storytelling book.
Xia Zhichan didn't even bother to refute a word.
This Chimei shouldn't have as high a level of cultivation as Jiang Qin, but he looks like he's probably an entry-level expert, but I don't know if it's just an embroidered pillow, it's just not useful.
"Senior sister, the ghost king here is very vicious. I think the two of us can get rid of it by working together, so we have to go in together. It's best not to separate..."
"Chimei, can you be sure that there is a ghost king here, not an 'evil'..."
"Sha? What is evil... Senior sister, you believe me, I have been subduing monsters all year round. I have killed countless monsters."
Chimei stood up straight and confidently. He talked nonsense and showed a confident attitude. This was actually his first time going down the mountain. Like Jiang Qin, he was a novice, but he had been listening to the stories of his brothers and sisters catching monsters all year round, and he always felt that catching monsters was not difficult at all.
Xia Zhichan felt uncomfortable hearing it and could only roll his eyes silently. He found that it was so awkward to say the words "subdue demons and subjugate demons" for the first time from someone else's mouth.
Dong-dong-dong, the sound of the night watch came from the street corner.
In the middle of the night.
Creaking - the closed door was pushed open forcefully, making a harsh sound, and then a gust of wind blew out along the crack of the open door.
In addition to the biting cold, the cold wind also carries a faint fishy smell.
"What smells so disgusting..."
Akame frowned as soon as he entered the door. He quickly picked up a fan and fanned it, trying to blow away the disgusting smell.
"The smell of blood... it seems to be 'evil'. A lot of people must have died here recently, and they were all killed by others."
Xia Zhichan entered the door and looked around. In the dark courtyard without any light, there was no trace of blood, but there was a strong smell of blood.
Jiang Qin walked at the back. She took out her long sword from her sleeve robe and held the hilt tightly with her right hand.
The smell in the courtyard made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything more.
The three of them had just walked to the middle of the courtyard.
Snapped!
The door that was finally opened behind him was suddenly closed by a pair of invisible hands, and the door panel made a loud snapping sound when it hit.
ah!
The loud sound made the three of them tremble. Chimei immediately turned around, took out her plum-blossom sword and slashed at the door seventeen or eight times in a row. Each sword mark was very deep, but it was never destroyed. That door.
Xia Zhichan was quite calm. He quietly retracted his right hand into his sleeve robe, and pointed his left hand together to form a sword. A sword energy rotated and stabbed out into a dark corner.
grumble!
There was an unknown animal scream, and then it quickly fell silent.
Xia Zhichan and Jiang Qin looked at each other, and then walked to the corner together. There was a ball of flesh with an unclear shape in the corner, squirming while drilling into the hole in the corner.
He reached out and took out the fire stick, blowing on it three or two times to light up the fire.
Under the orange firelight, the two of them saw clearly what the little thing was. It was not a strange thing, it was just a big mouse.
It's just that this mouse is covered in dense gray fur, its fat body is more than two or three times larger than the average mouse, and its two eyes the size of beans are glowing scarlet.
Its eyes were filled with an obviously human-like look of fear. Its two hind legs were neatly cut off by the sword energy that Xia Zhichan had just ejected, and black blood was flowing from the cut.
Because it has no hind legs, it can only use its two short forelimbs to climb forward vigorously, trying to get into a mouse hole not far away.
The mouse hole was not half as big as it was, and I didn't know if it could actually crawl through it. With its strong body, it was impossible to get in.
"Sister, don't be afraid! I will definitely be able to..."
Chimei panicked the moment the door closed. He struck seventeen or eighty times with his sword, which was as sharp as iron as clay. There were criss-cross sword marks on the door, but it never opened.
He took a few steps back, intending to comfort Jiang Qin who might be panicking, but found that the two people ignored him at all, and instead walked to a corner to look at something.
"You know what we are here for, tell me and I will spare your life..."
This is a rat spirit that has just opened its spiritual intelligence. It is probably because this place is full of evil spirits, which is very helpful for the cultivation of little monsters like them, so it secretly made a hole to absorb the evil spirits.
Chi Chi Chi——
The gray-skinned mouse chirped several times, but he didn't know whether he really knew where the special evil was, or whether it was just because it hurt.
"Hey! Where are the monsters running away..."
Swish - the flying sword passed through a stream of light, passed directly through the gap between Xia Zhichan and Jiang Qin, and stabbed the rat spirit on the ground.
The mouse didn't even have time to struggle, and was cut in half by the sword energy.
"you!"
Xia Zhichan was really angry. Nothing was more terrifying than having a pig teammate. He looked at the flying sword, and then looked back at Chimei, who was standing in the courtyard with a proud look on her face.
"Sister, don't be afraid, monsters like this are just a piece of cake for me..."
Snapped!
Xia Zhichan didn't like Chimei, and he didn't have a good temper when he was really angry. He took three steps in front of Chimei and then swung it into a big mouth.
"Get out of here!"
It was clear that the person in front of him didn't even have much immortal energy, but at this moment, he suddenly revealed an extremely terrifying aura.
It is like an iceberg that has sunk under the water and has just emerged from the water, revealing its ferocious and majestic corner.
