"Father, Grandpa Zeng's side..."
The head of the family, Zhong Yunsong, looked away from the numerous corpses and looked at Zhong Changyi beside him and asked.
"I've sent people to Sihaimen, but it's too far away here. I'm afraid we won't be able to get here quickly... Didn't I ask Yun Cheng to inform you to find the city lord last night? Didn't you receive the news?" Zhong Changyi said helplessly. After saying something, he asked again.
Zhong Yunsong lowered his head and said: "I didn't receive any message. Presumably, the second brother and the others were killed before they had time to send the message..."
Hearing this, Zhong Changyi couldn't help but clenched his fists again: "Taiyuan Sect! Taiyuan Sect! They must be from Taiyuan Sect. Dozens of people in the Zhong family have died. Our Zhong family will not just let this grudge go. !”
...
Sihaifu is one of the ten mansions in Nanming.
The geographical location is in the south of the central part of Nanming Realm, with a radius of no less than a million miles. It is considered a smaller existence among the ten mansions. It is named because the power it controls is Sihaimen.
There are many cities in Sihaifu, but only three are famous, namely Wan'an City in the east, Sihai City in the middle, and Siping City in the west.
About 100,000 miles further west of Siping City is Ziyang Mountain, which is known as the "bird's nest".
After crossing Ziyang Mountain, you will reach the boundary of Zhengqi Mansion, which is the place governed by Zhengqi Sect, one of the six second-rate forces in Nanming Realm.
This evening.
Under the loud urging of the city guard, a handsome young man in white mingled with the noisy crowd and walked quickly into Siping City.
As soon as everyone entered the city, the huge city gate several feet high closed with a bang.
"Brother, what is going on? Isn't it already dark? Why is the city gate closed?" Lu Li looked back at the city gate in astonishment, then looked back at the sturdy young man beside him and asked in confusion. .
The sturdy young man was walking forward with his head bent. Hearing this, he slowed down and glanced at Lu Li in surprise: "Is this your first time here?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, it's no wonder. Let me tell you, our Siping City is different from other cities. Those cities basically close their doors when it's late, but it's different here. They have to close their doors as soon as it gets dark."
"Why is that?"
"Why? Because of the Moyun Cave in the south. It is said that there are taboo things there, and they will come out to harm people every night. Since last year, people in our Siping City have died tragically at home every three days. After an investigation by the City Lord's Palace, , saying that evil spirits ran out from Moyun Cave and sucked away the Yang Qi of these people, and then...the time when Siping City closed its doors changed."
"Evil charm?"
"It's just a ghost?! You've never heard of ghosts, right?"
"Ghost? Are there really ghosts in this world?" Lu Li asked in disbelief.
"How could it not be? I met my grandfather when I was a child...Eh?! You man, why should I tell you this?" Halfway through, the strong man suddenly remembered that he didn't know Lu Li and couldn't help but get wide-eyed. He glared, shook his head and left.
Lu Li stood speechless, stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.
He actually doesn't believe there are ghosts in the world.
According to Lu Li's understanding, the so-called ghosts in the world can actually be divided into two types. One is the heavenly souls that unexpectedly survived in extremely yin places, which are called Yin spirits.
Yin spirits have no memory. In addition to their natural instinct to devour living souls, they have no thoughts of their own, and their attacks are very simple.
And the second type is earth soul.
After a person dies, due to the rules of heaven and earth, the soul of the earth will be immediately dragged into reincarnation. It is said that it will go to the underworld, but it is unknown whether there is such a place as the underworld.
Because the earth soul carries a person's lifelong memories, if it escapes the rules of heaven and earth and stays in the human world, it will be much more terrifying than the ghost spirit.
Especially the earthly soul after the death of a practitioner would be a nightmare-like existence for mortals or low-level practitioners.
And this kind of thing is a ghost in the true sense.
Lu Li didn't believe there were ghosts in the world, mainly because he felt that the rules of heaven and earth would not allow the souls of the earth to remain in the world forever. After all, this already involved the order of reincarnation.
From his understanding, people mostly mistook the ghosts for ghosts and were just scaring themselves.
Although Siping City is one of the three major cities in Sihai Mansion, it is still not as big as Sihai City. Lu Li didn't go far when he saw a particularly prominent golden building.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was the Dongling Chamber of Commerce branch.
Lu Li did not go to the person in charge this time, but went directly to a salesperson to inquire. He easily bought the purple spirit sand he wanted, and then left the chamber of commerce.
He originally didn't want to stay in Siping City, but at this time the city gate was closed and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he simply found an inconspicuous inn to stay.
At night, Lu Li appeared to be sleeping, but he was actually testing the long sword in the Time Palace.
He threw the long sword in front of him, then flicked it with his fingers. In an instant, a large ball of bright yellow flames enveloped the long sword. Under Lu Li's control, the temperature of the flames became higher and higher.
And the snow-white sword began to gradually turn red.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the sword finally showed signs of melting, and the runes on it began to crackle. At this time, Lu Li was already sweating on his forehead.
To be able to make him work so hard, this material must be at least the fifth level.
After another quarter of an hour, the original snow-colored sword finally completely melted and turned into a ball of red essence the size of a bowl.
Lu Li saw this and grabbed it from the air, and the purple jade bottle on the ground immediately flew up. Then, he pointed the mouth of the bottle at the red essence and shook it hard, and instantly a large piece of purple sand with flashing light flew out from the bottle.
Under Lu Li's control, the fine sand was accurately wrapped in the red essence.
Then, something surprising happened.
I saw that as soon as the purple spirit sand came into contact with the surface of the essence, the red essence began to roll and squirm as if it had been summoned by something. After a while, all the purple spirit sand was submerged in it.
"As expected!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Li was immediately overjoyed, and then he followed the same example again and wrapped part of the purple spirit sand in the jade bottle towards the essence.
As expected, after another burst of squirming, all the purple spirit sand was swallowed up by the essence.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that many rice-sized beads have formed in this mass of essence, which looks very strange.
Lu Li did not stop there, but repeated this process four or five times, until the mass of essence stopped moving, and then he stopped.
Then he slapped a palm from the air on the essence that was full of bulges.
Suddenly, there was a crash, and a large piece of snow-white beads rolled down to the ground, and at the same time, bursts of cold air rolled up!
"Very good!"
Seeing these snow-white beads, Lu Li was suddenly pleasantly surprised. This was the Soul-transmitting Cold Iron he wanted, which is also the main material for making body tattoo pens...
