I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! - Chapter 222

[11. Jiang Lan, who is afraid of ghosts]

Just do what they say, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan decided to search for information on their own.

After asking around in the neighborhood, the two learned the whole story.

It turned out that after the turmoil a few years ago, although Kyoto seemed to have regained its tranquility, the so-called “Tu Yikui” began to break out frequently in the region within a thousand miles around Kyoto.

That is to say, farmers unite several villages to fight against the current regime by means of armed insurrection, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing taxes or servitude.

The owner of this mansion is also a military attache in Kyoto. He has led the army to suppress Tuichikui that happened several times near Kyoto.

Three days ago, Tu Yikui broke out again in a village near Kyoto, and the military attache was ordered to take people to suppress it, but he never returned. By this morning, people found that his family living in this mansion The old and young died suddenly.

Some people said that it was because the military attache did not do good deeds, which led to the curse of the gods. Of course, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan would definitely not believe these claims.

They asked the direction of the village from the mouths of these people, and then walked towards the village.

Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan were fast. Although Jiang Lan rejected the decision to let Bai Qiuran take her with Yujian, the two of them were still much faster than ordinary people just relying on their feet.

Both of them have mastered the skills of space, and every step they take casually is a distance of hundreds of meters.

The village is not very far from Kyoto, about two hundred miles away, at the foot of a mountain, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan came out of Kyoto in the afternoon, and when it was getting late, they had already seen a small village at the foot of the mountain. mountain village.

After coming to this neighborhood, I don’t know if it was because of the darkening of the sky, but the atmosphere became much gloomier, and the yin around the whole village was also quite strong, making people feel a chill.

The most bizarre thing is that when it was time for dinner, there was no smoke or any fire in the village. It was as if there were no living people in the whole village.

“There are footprints on the ground.”

Jiang Lan said softly, and then pinched a magic formula that Bai Qiuran had never seen before. She waved her hand and shed a blue light, and then these light spots gathered on the ground, covering the outline of the footprints, letting those on the ground The footprints also glowed.

After doing this, Jiang Lan smiled when noticing Bai Qiuran’s gaze.

“It’s all a little trick I figured out by myself to find those naughty disciples.”

“Very good idea.”

Bai Qiuran praised her, then looked at the footprints on the ground.

“These should be the military attache and the troops he brought to attack the local villagers… Why is there such a small number? It’s only a dozen or twenty people, right?”

“Looking at these footprints, they should all be Ashikaru in Kyoto. Although their armor is not good, at least they are using regular weapons, much better than the villagers in the village who can only fight with farm implements.”

Jiang Lan checked the ground and said:

“And the number of people in the village should not be too many to suppress a village, not even a few people.”

“There seems to be no one in the village.”

Bai Qiuran grabbed Jiang Lan’s hand.

“Come on, let’s go in and see.”

“Ok.”

The two entered the village. The village looked better than the village occupied by monsters that Bai Qiuran and the others saw when they first came to Fusang. , There is a larger longhouse in the middle, which may be the place where the villagers usually discuss affairs.

The whole village was dead silent, and the footprints of the military attachés and Shigara disappeared when they reached the village entrance. Whether it was the peasants who lived here or the military attachés who came to crusade, all disappeared.

“Typical shit.”

Bai Qiuran commented.

After dealing with Xue Ling for so many years, he is also very familiar with the behavior of ghosts. Orthodox ghosts do not attack humans in a straight line like monsters, and they are even different from the souls of the Earth Immortals when they seize their homes.

They are the spirits that are born after the complete death of living beings. They are all spiritual bodies that are born with the ability to create illusions. They usually use illusions to induce and intimidate humans, slowly destroy the other’s psychological defenses, and let them die by themselves.

Of course, it’s not that there are ghosts without the ability to directly devour living souls, but even ghosts with such capabilities usually choose to use illusions, which seems to be their instinct.

Don’t look at Xue Ling’s reckless appearance with a chain, when facing Bai Qiuran, he still used his hallucinations to fight against Bai Qiuran with all his strength.

And this village seems to have become a “hunting ground” for a Specter.

Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan walked into the village holding hands, and the wind suddenly started to blow on the flat ground. The wind was not big, but there was a chilling feeling in the wind.

boom!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound next to it, followed by a gurgling sound. In the darkness, something similar in size to a human head rolled out of the shadow, but it was a clay pot.

The two walked two more steps, and the window of a hut on the other side was suddenly blown open with a creak. When Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan looked at the sound, they found a white shadow flashing past the window.

“…”

Jiang Lan quietly leaned closer to Bai Qiuran, she paused, and then asked softly:

“Qiuran, can you use your divine sense to find out where that Specter is hiding?”

She looked a little scared.

Jiang Lan’s reaction made Bai Qiuran a little amused. She was obviously an ancient immortal with far more power than she used to be, but Jiang Lan would still be afraid of things made by these little devils who were worthless to her.

Also, there was no ghost world in the age of God, so there were no ghosts on the earth.

While thinking about it, Bai Qiuran answered Jiang Lan’s question:

“I tried to search just before I entered the village, but to no avail. Ghosts are souls that absorb grievances, and they are a kind of spiritual body. They can usually hide in places that even we can’t hide, and they are unexpected, so It’s hard to find. They can even hide in dreams or thoughts, and even Zhixian must have witnessed the main body to find them. But it doesn’t matter, I have experience.”

Ignoring the strange and supernatural phenomena that the ghosts around him deliberately created, Bai Qiuran took Jiang Lan’s hand and walked straight to the long house in the middle of the village.

As soon as the two of them entered the house on their front feet, a gust of wind blew on their back feet and slammed the door shut.

The long house was suddenly plunged into darkness, Bai Qiuran felt Jiang Lan’s hand grabbing her and began to exert force. At the same time, her voice came intermittently, trembling slightly.

“Qiuran, what are you going to do next?”

“Next, it’s fishing…”

Before Bai Qiuran could finish speaking, all kinds of debris in the entire longhouse suddenly flew out of thin air and fell to the ground.

“Ah!”

Jiang Lan let out a small exclamation, and then she stuck her whole body up and hugged Bai Qiuran’s arm tightly.

Pop, pop, pop.

Suddenly there was some kind of wet and sticky sound on the ground, as if a barefooted person’s feet were stained with liquid and stepped on the tatami. The two of them looked in the direction from which the sound came, and found that they had appeared out of thin air on the ground. A series of bloody footprints.

Click!

Suddenly, a thunderstorm sounded outside the house, and the moment the thunder light illuminated the long house, the two saw a woman in blood clothes and long hair standing in the corner of the long house.

Jiang Lan’s body trembled, and at this moment, a strong yin wind suddenly stroked the cheeks of the two of them. Jiang Lan felt that there was a third person standing behind her, pulling up her long hair.

Jiang Lan was so frightened that she screamed, and then slapped her with a backhand.
