Estranged

Chapter 37: You used to be so fresh and lovely

Views:

Human nature is changeable, and so are the demons.

They even differ in appearance and abilities.

But most of them are eager for the human world, where there are countless cultivation resources, soft red ten feet, singing and dancing, all of which are incomparable to the dark and cold abyss.

Some are mild-mannered, willing to bow their heads and integrate into the human world, and even become a Taoist couple with monks or ordinary people, hiding their names, and some, like Zhang Mu, directly take human skins for their own use, change their names and surnames, and walk in the world with dignity, hiding their numbers. In ten years, no one may find out, and there are even those with a fierce temperament, who directly use abuse for fun, just to satisfy their inner desire to kill.

Tibetan Heaven does not belong to the above.

He hoped that he could walk in broad daylight without having to hide his identity, and he would no longer have to hide because of being discovered.

That's why he chose to cooperate with the Vientiane Palace, no matter what the other party's purpose was.

"They poisoned the rhizoma rhizoma. As long as people eat food with rhododendron rhizome, they will react more or less. Some of them will vomit bugs and die from abdominal pain, but in fact it is not poison. , but a Gu."

Zangtian is also very angry now.

He thought that the Vientiane Palace was a good partner, but he didn't expect that he knew too much. They needed a murderer to cover up this incident from the bright side. The first one to be pushed out was Zangtian.

Those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and Zangtian completely understands why the same race hates people so much.

But he now has to work with these people temporarily.

Chang Ming said: "The Vientiane Palace is a side door, where capable and different people gather. Chi Bijiang has a junior sister who is good at poisoning and poisoning. It is said that he can take people's heads thousands of miles away. It's a good attack time, so that he died thousands of miles away."

Cang Tian: "I don't know exactly how they did it, but Gu is indeed under the Vientiane Palace, but just Gu is not enough, to make these people completely die at the moment of darkness and be controlled by Gu insects, it takes a little Introduction."

Chang Ming: "You are the lead."

Zang Tian said calmly: "Yes, they asked me to inject demonic energy into it. Such a poisonous poison will be a hundred times more powerful than usual. Wherever it goes, there is no chance of being strangled, and even a cultivator can't escape."

After dark, Yuru Town became a world of Shura.

Bloody storms, people and ghosts are uneasy.

In the past without the intervention of Changming and Yunhai, this place has become a ghost town. Anyone who passes by a business traveler would rather take a detour than pass through here. It is said that those who break into this place will be mostly captured by those dead resentful spirits. After nine deaths and a lifetime, everyone hears that the color changes. Over time, the grass is overgrown, and the place is completely buried under the wind and sand, which is rarely heard by the world.

Now things are generally moving in the original direction. The murder case has happened, and Cong Rong's eyes are also blind. The only thing that has changed is Zangtian's defection and Situ Wanhe's early exposure.

In the past, there was no Changming Yunhai, and Zangtian would definitely not show up. If what he said was true, but Changming had never heard of Zangtian, which means that he most likely did not escape bad luck.

There are also Yun Changan and the three of them. In the past, they must not have known that Situ Wanhe and the Vientiane Palace were behind the murder in Yuru Town, so they were able to live safely for so many years. Now that they know in advance, they have added many variables.

Yun Chang'an and Cong Rong are nothing more, they are not immortals, their words are insignificant, and no one will believe them, but their lives are not in danger.

But Nie Emei was different. She was a disciple of Zhenling Sect, and Situ and the Vientiane Palace would not let her go.

Although Zhenlingzong has a large scale and many disciples, Nie Emei is not the best among them. Even if she disappears without a sound, Zhenlingzong will only treat her experience and encounter changes, and will not delve into the inside story.

What's more, this inside story is too involved, and it is not something that a town spirit sect can afford.

Chang Ming frowned slightly, his thoughts turned sharply, and he looked at the three next to him.

Cong Rong closed her eyes slightly, leaned against the wall, and seemed to be asleep, still wearing Yun Changan's clothes.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and the hand holding her outer garment trembled a little, and she didn't really fall asleep.

Yun Changan stared blankly at the wall, his expression numb, not knowing what he was thinking.

Whether it is the Vientiane Palace or the Situ Wanhe, they are too far away for them. Even if they understand the conspiracy that Zang Tian said earlier, they will not be able to withstand the strong impact of a dead city in front of them.

Only Nie Emei, who was also a cultivator, was pale and unbelievable.

"It takes so much human life to make a soul gathering pearl. Now that it has been broken, do they have to find another human life to fill it?"

Zang Tian said maliciously: "Do you think one Soul Gathering Orb is enough? If you want to make the Heaven-Defying Array that reverses the universe and even opens the prehistoric world, you need six Soul Gathering Orbs, and the one in the Soul Gathering Orb is needed. Souls, naturally, the more the better, maybe, the souls of cultivators can also give more power to the Soul Gathering Orb. All of you, sooner or later, will not be able to escape!"

With every word he said, Nie Emei's face turned paler.

"Maybe, Chi Bijiang was possessed by a demon?"

Zang Tian sneered: "You people are always like this, you push all the things you can't explain to us! You can continue to deceive yourself, now you have seen the true face of Situ Wanhe, when they want to kill you, then It's not too late to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"I-I'm not..." Nie Emei couldn't say anymore.

"But it's useless even if you know this now. You and I are already tied to the same boat. Everyone, none of them will let go."

Zangtian is cloudy and pitiful, like a candle in the wind, swaying in the dark, strange and inexplicable.

"When the first cock crowing, this place will once again become an endless hell, and no one will be able to escape."

Nie Emei lost his voice: "What do you mean?! The Soul Gathering Orb has not been smashed, and the dead are resting in peace!"

Zang Tian said lightly: "This place has long been covered with a net of heaven and earth, and the intrusion of demonic energy into the poison is just one part of it. Long before your arrival, the formation has been buried around the entire city, and the evil spirits and ghosts that have not been scattered for many years have been buried. The town is somewhere, after the cock crows, the formation will be activated, and all the survivors will be spared tonight."

Yunhai raised his eyebrows: "As soon as the rooster sings, the world is white, even if the sky is not yet bright, how can there be a place for evil ghosts to live?"

Zangtian: "Everything you can think of, Chi Bijiang has long thought about it. Those evil ghosts are all the resentful spirits of dozens or hundreds of years. The formation has long been filled with grievances, and as long as the formation is activated, it will be impatient to come out and shred the living people in the formation."

Yun Changan stood up abruptly, and the anger that had accumulated for a long time burst out.

"Then let's rush out before the chickens crow!"

Zangtian: "You can try."

Yun Changan didn't talk nonsense, he jumped up, dropped a sentence at Cong Rong, I'll be right back to pick you up, and ran towards the parapet.

Changming and Yunhai did not move.

They knew that since Zangtian would say so, he must have tried it.

If he could leave, he would have left long ago, and he wouldn't even show up to mention cooperation and talk so much nonsense.

The entire Yuru Town itself has become a formation without all the people noticing it.

After dark, the formation was activated, and everyone could not get out.

Chang Ming's breaking the Soul Gathering Orb is a variable, maybe even Chi Bijiang can't think of it, but she still has a backer, so Chen Ting and Situ said they would leave, not fighting—

Because they were all sure that Changming and the others would never escape the death of all souls after the rooster crowing.

This also means that they will usher in a more difficult battle.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yun Changan to come back downcast.

After repeated blows, he became strong enough, at least he didn't get angry with Zangtian or others, jumped onto the roof platform, walked to Cong Rong and sat down.

"Every time I want to go out, I will encounter ghosts hitting the wall, and finally circle back to the starting point."

"Not only will you not be able to get out, but people outside will not be able to get in. You will encounter the same situation as you. Your human cultivators are more sensitive than others, and you won't get in if you notice something strange, unless—"

The place where they rested at this time was located on a roof platform in the city. It was originally used by the owner's house to grow grass and flowers. The two floors were not high, but the location was right in the direction of the city gate, which was enough for them to see clearly from a high place.

When everyone heard the sudden interruption of Zangtian's voice, they all looked up at him, and followed his line of sight to the city gate.

A young man, who should be a young man in terms of body shape, slowly walked into the city gate.

His hair was tied in a bun, his belt was fluttering, and he was carrying a long sword behind him.

"Unless it's a foolish idiot who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the mountains."

Zangtian finally finished the second half of the sentence.

Changming:…

Piansheng Yunhai also leaned forward and bit his ear.

"You used to be so tender and lovely."

Chang Ming's face was expressionless: "I only entered the city after dawn."

After entering the city, there was no one living in the city, let alone Zang Tian and Nie Emei.

As for Yun Changan and Cong Rong, they were lucky to escape because they found a cellar of an inn to hide in at that time, but they didn't know what happened, let alone the conspiracy.

"It shows that history has long since changed."

Yunhai looked at Changming, the young man walking from a distance, with great interest.

On the other side, Rong Qingjun, faintly had the outline and momentum of later generations, but he was still a little green, after all, he was only thirteen or fifteen years old now.

How interesting, he never thought that he could see Jiufang Changming when he was a teenager under such a situation.

That kind of feeling is like peeking into the unknown side of the other party's hidden veil.

The details have changed, and many things are still moving in the given direction.

For example, Yuru Township blood case, such as Cong Rong's eyes.

However, the appearance of Juvenile Changming is a bigger variable.

If he died here, naturally there would not be the number one person in the world in the future, and Yun Weisi would not be born.

Everything after that will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Chang Ming suddenly felt that the Liuhe Candle Sky Array was just a move in that game by Chi Bijiang and the others.

A huge chess game that lasted for decades and counted everyone.

Perhaps, even if he entered Jiuzhongyuan, it was within the calculation of the other party.

"The person who made the layout is indeed a bold artist."

When Chang Ming thought of these, another person also thought of it, Yun Hai laughed.

"But the bigger the layout, the more vulnerable it is to expose."

As the years grow, the more flaws, the bureau will gradually surface.

Those people didn't expect that after the battle of Wanshenshan, Changming would not die, and would have been living in Huangquan for decades before returning to the human world.

They also did not expect Yun Weisi to cultivate ruthless Dao in Jiuzhongyuan, but also cultivate a sea of clouds in the dark night.

The young man Changming is approaching.

He saw several people on the roof, looked up and stopped.

The night was still dark and dark.

But practitioners have excellent eyesight, which does not hinder them.

When Nie Emei saw that the others were not moving, she took the initiative to stand up and bow her hands.

"I don't know where your friends come from, what's your name?"

"Why are all the people in this city dead?"

The young man Changming did not answer her words, but asked instead.

In a completely unfamiliar environment, when you meet a group of strangers you have never met before, the best choice is to keep silent and stay put.

Nie Emei also saw his defense, and smiled bitterly: "It's not what we did, it's a long story, someone has already poisoned the city and set up a formation, wanting to kill us, so that the souls of the dead can be used to temper the gathering. Soul Orb."

Young Changming: "There are monsters around you."

He saw Zangtian at a glance.

Yunhai continued to bite Chang Ming's ears.

"Master has amazing eyesight since he was a child."

He never called Shizun, and when he called it at this moment, it meant a lot of flirting.

Chang Ming: "... I'm thirteen at this point."

Yunhai: "Okay, you were already an adult at that time."

This perfunctory tone...

Chang Ming didn't bother to pay attention to it, he just didn't hear it.

Nie Emei didn't have time to explain more.

Somewhere in the city, a rooster croak broke the silence of the long night.

Except for the young man Changming, everyone changed their faces.

If they were still skeptical about Zangtian's statement before, the next scene will completely dispel all their doubts.

In the ghost town in the dark night, faint blue light lit up from everywhere, turned into human figures, and condensed here.

From slow to fast, from less to more, like a storm, whistling.

Accompanied by the sound of roosters, it is not the dawn of the sky or the clearing of the heavens and the earth, but the wailing of thousands of souls, the weeping of thousands of ghosts, one after another, and a tidal wave.

The bustling bustling and bustling during the day was no longer to be seen, and in its place was a city completely occupied by evil spirits and evil spirits.

In the vast desert, there are many towns of various sizes. After tonight, Yuru Town, which was swallowed and submerged by the evil ghosts, will soon be forgotten by everyone. Above the Gobi Desert, there will be new strongholds for travelers to rest. Everything that happened here will soon be forgotten, and at most it will become a conversation after dinner, and because most of the dead are ordinary people and low-cost monks, no one will go to the bottom of it and find out the truth.

When the young man Changming slashed one of the evil spirits with his sword, but more blue light gathered and began to burn the skin of his clothes, he resolutely chose to jump on the roof and join the others.

But when he saw Chang Ming and the Spring Dynasty sword in Yun Hai's hands that was exactly the same as his own, Rao Shi's heart was firm, young and mature, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yun Hai waved his sword to smash the resentful spirit behind him, and the blue light suddenly shattered, turning into a little bit of starlight, graceful and beautiful, but if it was stained, it would be scorched by yin fire, and there would be no bones left.

"Don't be distracted."

Yunhai gave him a teasing smile.

"If you are afraid, you can come to our side."

He seems to be happy to see Changming in his youth show any embarrassment or discomfort, so as to embarrass or anger the now immobile Jiufang Changming.

But the young man Changming let him down.

The other party glanced at Yun Hai and then at Chang Ming, as if he understood something.

He turned his head and swung his sword, smashing the evil spirits that were coming towards him, without saying a word.

Chi Bijiang didn't know where to find these evil spirits, and they distributed them all over the city ahead of time. These evil spirits could not be tempered with Soul Gathering Orbs, but they were enough to pose a huge threat to Changming and the others.

In all directions, long screams were ferocious, and the blue light faintly depicted a human face. It was a face that exhausted the malice in the world, and almost condensed the evil in all human nature.

They were not good people during their lifetimes, and they were suppressed in formations after they died, and they were even more resentful.

Yun Chang'an and Cong Rong are just mortals, how often have they seen such horrors.

Cong Rong couldn't see his eyes, but just listening to the terrifying ghost cry, he couldn't help covering his ears tightly.

Yun Changan, however, would suffer a greater impact both physically and mentally, and his martial arts were useless here, so he could only be protected in the middle with Cong Rong, watching Changming wave a few fluffy paper puppets and land on the ground. That is, it turned into a beast and rushed towards the evil spirit to bite fiercely.

The evil spirit is covered with blue light, this blue light is actually a kind of flame that is unprecedented in the world, called ghost fire, ghost fire can ignore any substance or non-substantial things, even these puppet beasts, they will be torn apart very quickly The more puppets are created, the more aggressive the evil spirits will be.

The crowd soon fell into a dilemma.

"How on earth can we break out of the formation?!"

Nie Emei couldn't help screaming, she was on the verge of exhaustion, even if Changming Yunhai Zangtian and others took out most of the pressure, she still couldn't hold it.

"Kill all these things, and the formation will naturally be broken."

Zang Tiandao, the two blades in his hand turned into two white lights, and he kept slaying the evil spirits close to him.

How can this be killed? !

Nie Emei wanted to refute, but she didn't have the strength to speak any more.

A ghostly fire rushed towards her face, and the lightning was too fast to cover her ears. She gave a thump in her heart, and turned her hand to make a move a little bit slower.

boom!

All hell broke loose!

It is the spring sword of the sea of clouds.

"Go to the middle!"

Nie Emei was immediately pulled into the middle, along with Yun Changan and the others, while the other four quickly moved closer, narrowing the circle and filling the gap.

Looking around, the ghosts are like a sea, almost occupying most of their sight.

Overwhelming and endless, it makes people feel hopeless.

"I want him to come out early." Yunhai suddenly said.

Others are inexplicable, so only Changming knows what he is talking about

Yunhai wanted Yun Weisi to come out ahead of time.

He didn't want to admit that Yun Weisi was stronger than himself, and the same body should have the same ability.

But Yunhai felt a little tired, which is usually a signal that it is about to dawn. Instead of distracting and making mistakes, let Yun Weisi take over.

He closed his eyes, but opened them again, clearly failing.

It was not yet dawn, and as usual, it would be a while longer.

Young Chang Ming also found it difficult.

He has never encountered such a sinister situation since going out to practice.

Although it is an opportunity to cultivate, but if you lose your life, no matter how exciting the opportunity is, it will be useless.

Before, he encountered ghosts hitting the wall outside the city, and the ordinary people left long ago, but he felt that this place was very strange, and he became interested in exploring. , I can't even think of it now.

Seeing that he didn't know if there was still life tonight, he took an opportunity to ask Chang Ming beside him in a low voice.

"who are you?"

When I was young, I was still not calm enough.

The corners of Changming's mouth twitched slightly.

"You already have the answer in your heart, so why bother asking?"

"I just wanted to confirm what I thought. I didn't expect such a mysterious thing in the world."

"What you think is good."

"Seeing you like this, it seems that I will be a little bleak in the future."

"I want to entrust you with something."

"Say."

"If you can leave here, you can help me take care of the three people in the middle and try to keep them safe."

"Is this important?"

"Very important."

"I promise you."

Now that you have reached a silent tacit understanding with your past self, there is no need to ask too much, and it is useless to ask too much.

Many things, as early as Changming opened his mouth, he seemed to have understood in the past.

Even if you don't understand, in the long years to come, you will always understand.

A large number of ghost fires suddenly broke through the defense of Zangtian and rushed towards them fiercely. Zangtian was in chaos for a moment, revealing flaws, and was immediately swallowed up by most of his face.

With a scream, his body fell to the roof, and the double-edged sword smashed the ghost fire all over his body, but then there were more bites.

Yun Changan and the others were shocked by this scene, Nie Emei gritted her teeth and held the gap on the top of the sword.

Zangtian is so powerful that he will be eroded away by the ghost fire if he is not careful, and the pressure of others can be imagined.

Night long dreams, can not drag on.

Chang Ming said.

He squeezed the tactic with both hands and slowly raised the sword.

"The sword points to the east and drink to break through the sky."

The black energy of the sword body gradually thickened, and it was half-suspended in the air.

In stark contrast to this, Chang Ming's complexion is also getting whiter.

"Ling leads the secret, Weilin Liuhe, go!"
