Lu Tianxing's words immediately alerted everyone present.
Lu Tianxing was not reckless, but pointed in the direction. Everyone followed his gesture and found nothing unusual.
"Junior Brother Pojun, follow me and see what kind of monster is pretending to be a ghost!" Qingyuan, as the person with the highest level of cultivation, shouted softly and walked away with his sword. Xiao Pojun responded and chased after him.
Zhang Chen inadvertently pricked his finger secretly, and attached two drops of blood to their clothes, then pretended to be a newbie and a little scared, and hid behind everyone.
Seeing this, Ling Sisi also raised the magic weapon long sword and shouted: "Senior Brother Qing, Junior Brother Xiao, I'm here to help you."
Others also wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Ling Sisi's words, "Stand where you are and don't be impulsive."
Then she disappeared in front of everyone, and Zhang Chen looked at the others who really stood still, his eyes flashing, and he felt that it was getting more and more interesting.
Zhang Chen set his sights on Lu Tianxing. This expert who was good at tracking and investigating was actually obedient and looked calm at this time, as if the words he warned everyone before did not come from his mouth.
Du Yuehua, on the other hand, kept holding the magic weapon in his hand tightly, as if he was ready for a fight at any time, and his high vigilance was also suspicious.
As for Xiao Langtian, he closed his eyes tightly at this moment, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As for Shen Qiushui and Han Yuntian, their expressions were as usual, but Zhang Chen was also keenly aware of their vigilance.
Zhang Chen found it a little interesting. These people seemed to be wary of each other, and there was no way they were cooperating to complete the master's tasks.
He originally thought that Ling Sisi was the only one in this team who had evil intentions. Who would have thought that everyone had evil intentions? It seemed that Zhang Chen, a person who didn't understand anything, was a bit naive.
He originally wanted to participate in this operation on a temporary basis, thinking about seizing Ling Sisi's fortune, and he had never deeply understood the unknown secrets behind the Changyun family. But now it seems that these people joining the team are basically All of them had ulterior motives, and Zhang Chen couldn't really let himself know nothing.
He kept thinking in his mind, and many thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Then Zhang Chen looked at a person, the most dangerous, but to him, the simplest person.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen moved cautiously towards Shen Qiushui and whispered: "Senior sister, I'm a little scared."
"Don't worry, junior brother, senior brothers and sisters will protect you." Shen Qiushui smiled and touched Zhang Chen's head softly. Zhang Chen felt a little bored in his heart, but he kept up the show and allowed the other party to move. .
After a while, Zhang Chen felt an unknown fire in his body, and his face turned from pale to red. This feeling was silent. If Zhang Chen hadn't been sharp and had three hundred years of experience, he wouldn't have even noticed it.
Zhang Chen's inner body of the Annihilation Demonic Art was able to easily defeat this secretly charming force. However, his face was still red, and his eyes were slightly blurred and dependent. He showed that he wanted to rely on Shen Qiushui, but was hindered. In the manner of etiquette.
When Shen Qiushui saw this, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. This junior brother, who was young and inexperienced, unexpectedly approached a female cultivator who was practicing charm without any precautions. Although he was only a child in the middle stage of opening his pulse, he really encountered something, and he had hidden hidden secrets. With the power of charm, it wouldn't be too much of a disadvantage to seduce him into being a human shield. After all, he didn't pay much for it.
Seeing Zhang Chen leaning next to Shen Qiushui, Lu Tianxing couldn't help snorting, but he did not choose to interfere.
The rest of the people actually acquiesced to this fact.
Only Han Yunfei looked at the "intoxicated" Zhang Chen with a faint smile on his face. Zhang Chen caught a glimpse of his expression and guessed that he knew his actual situation and secretly thought something was wrong, so he was a little underestimated. These people had a murderous intention in their hearts towards Han Yunfei.
But at this time, everyone was still in peace.
After a while, Qingyuan, Ling Sisi and Xiao Pojun came back. Qingyuan frowned, Ling Sisi looked pale, and Xiao Pojun was silent.
Before anyone could speak, Qingyuan said: "I went to investigate and the situation is not good."
Hearing this, Lu Tianxing said, "What?"
"The ghost has appeared!"
When everyone heard this, they looked stunned.
Shen Qiushui couldn't help but lost her voice: "How is this possible? This is still twenty miles away from Changyun's old residence. A ghost appears here. That proves that Changyun's old residence..."
When everyone heard this, they naturally understood what Shen Qiushui was talking about.
If ghosts appear here, it proves that the number and strength of ghosts in the old house are shocking enough.
But soon, Lu Tianxing said: "Not necessarily, there is another possibility."
Qingyuan frowned and looked at Lu Tianxing, "What do you mean?"
"If the number is really so large and the strength is strong, it will be enough to cause the sect Ling Xiaojing to warn, and it will not be our turn to do this task."
"So, the more likely scenario is that the number of these ghosts is still within our acceptable range, but the strongest ghosts may have become sane, so they send these ghosts to keep an eye on our movements."
Lu Tianxing's words made everyone's expressions soften slightly, and Ling Sisi also nodded, "Indeed, this is the most likely situation."
Zhang Chen opened his mouth at this time and said: "Senior brother and sister, now that the ghost has gained consciousness, it must be very dangerous to deal with them. Why don't we go back home and tell the truth to the master, wouldn't it be better to send another person?"
Zhang Chen didn't mean what he said, he just wanted to use this question to see if he could find out what these people had other intentions for.
Everyone looked a little unnatural when they heard this.
After a while, Ling Sisi said in a gentle tone: "Junior brother, I don't know. In fact, we have another purpose in participating in this mission."
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Ling Sisi would actually answer after he said this. This was obviously an attempt to tear off a fig leaf in advance! But this also proves that Ling Sisi does have a far deeper conspiracy than others. Now, "masters" appear frequently!
Ling Sisi didn't look at the strange looks on everyone's face. Instead, like a gentle elder sister who was inexperienced in the world, she answered Zhang Chen's questions, "Actually, there may be a rare treasure in the Changyun family!"
A rare treasure!
Zhang Chen looked stern, he knew the function of the exotic treasure very well. Even the most insignificant exotic treasure is a priceless treasure, and the reason why Zhang Chen still has hope of a comeback depends entirely on his condensed exotic treasure "Rebirth Jade".
He didn't expect that he would get an unexpected surprise from participating in this mission, but he didn't know what type of exotic treasure it was. Presumably, Ling Sisi's rapid improvement in cultivation and status in her previous life was inseparable from this exotic treasure.
Just, why?
Since there is a rare treasure in the Changyun family, it is impossible for the Lingxiao Sect to remain indifferent. How could they allow people with low cultivation levels like them to go? The attractiveness of this rare treasure is enough for the elders of Qifeng to take action. It is even possible for the leader to take action himself. .
Ling Sisi didn't have the ability to read minds, so she naturally couldn't think of what Zhang Chen was thinking, so she definitely couldn't answer his questions. Instead, she focused on spreading knowledge about exotic treasures to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen curled his lips. His understanding of exotic treasures was far better than that of Zhang Chen. Everyone present, but still listened with an open mind.
This layer of window paper was finally pierced.
Everyone present looked different from before.
Zhang Chen was thinking mentally, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something, as if he was enlightened.
He remembered a strange treasure, which might have this vision, but it was also consistent with the possibility that the upper echelons of the sect allowed their disciples to go and explore it.
Soul Gathering Seal!
After the birth of this rare treasure, it is easy for evil spirits to generate spiritual wisdom. In essence, it is a rare treasure of the soul law, which has the effect of condensing the mind and solidifying the soul. The Changyun family, discussed on the flying boat before, was attacked by demon cultivators. Members of the family They all practice divine soul techniques.
Therefore, it is possible to produce a strange treasure soul-gathering seal.
However, this seal can also harm Tianhe, which is not tolerated by the right path. The demon cultivators who have possessed the Soul Gathering Seal have been eradicated several times.
Now with this vision and various coincidences, it is very likely that the Changyun family will give birth to a naturally formed soul-gathering seal.
The Lingxiao Sect prides itself on being a well-known and upright sect, so it certainly cannot be the one who gets burned personally, but it is 80% reluctant to destroy this seal.
Therefore, they are probably not the "suitable candidates" chosen by the various peaks. Their cultivation levels are neither high nor low, and they can be easily manipulated. They can also be thrown out as scapegoats at any time.
So everyone has their own thoughts. No wonder these nine people come from different peaks!
Although it was only possible, Zhang Chen was 80% certain in his heart that this soul-gathering seal probably existed.
This is also the reason why Ling Sisi has been able to rise so high, but she just doesn't know whether Ling Sisi kept it secretly or handed it over in her previous life, but this is not important.
Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Qingyuan coughed and said, "No matter what, the mission of the master's sect must come first. Since the evil ghost seems to have sanity, I ask all the junior brothers and sisters to work together."
Everyone agreed.
Qingyuan waved his hand, indicating that he would continue on his way.
Zhang Chen's expression changed at this time, and he used a secret method to sense the essence and blood. After a while, he smiled in his heart, "Tsk, tsk, what a big show!"
Because he didn't sense the blood essence clinging to Xiao Pojun's clothes!
Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Pojun calmly, and saw that Xiao Pojun's expression was as usual, and he was still talking and laughing with everyone, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen continued to stick to Shen Qiushui's side. Shen Qiushui also smiled and looked forward to it. He and Zhang Chen chatted back and forth, and even made some dirty jokes from time to time.
Zhang Chen looked like an inexperienced young man, with a red face, a little shy, and his head lowered.
The twenty-mile journey is not too long for practitioners. Even if everyone goes on foot, few of them show fatigue.
Soon, everyone arrived at the door of Changyun's old house. Looking at the plaque on the door with the word "Changyun", it seemed that they could still see the glory of the Changyun family in the past.
But now, the front door of the house is also overgrown with weeds, withered and dilapidated, which is a pity.
At this time, there was no bright moon, and the night was like ink, tightly wrapping the entire ancient house.
Everyone's expressions tightened, and the sound of the wind became more and more shrill. It was moving between the branches and leaves. I don't know if they were hearing hallucinations, but they seemed to be hearing faint cries. There were rows of corpses with only skeletons hanging in front of the door, which looked particularly strange.
The two bronze doors were ajar, and the bronze door knockers were covered with moss, creating a gloomy atmosphere. The dim light that came from nowhere shone slantingly on the door, reflecting mottled shadows.
Zhang Chen looked at the stone tablet not far from the door. On it were the vigorous and powerful handwritings left by the Changyun Patriarch.
Where do the long clouds return leisurely, at ease between the misty heaven and earth.
