I climb the fairy ladder by farming

Chapter 21
The town was shrouded in an unknown formation, and Zhang Zheng tried to leave, only to find that an inexplicable barrier appeared out of thin air, and the water rippled where he touched it, which seemed soft but unbreakable.

All attacks falling on the barrier will be swallowed up, except for the ripples and circles, there is nothing else.

The town is not big, and Zhang Zheng and the others quickly searched for more than half of it, but found nothing.The three senior brothers also disappeared, and the messenger talisman remained dead silent without any response.

What's even more strange is that the whole town seemed to be dead after the two screams before, and no one came out to check the reason.

There were two knocks on the door, but there was no movement in the room.

But under the detection of the divine sense, everyone in the room was lying on the bed.

Tan Ying looked sad, and glanced at the closed door.

"Senior Sister Zhengzheng, we have knocked on more than a dozen houses, but no one is willing to open the door. Or..."

She bit her lower lip timidly, and said embarrassedly: "How about we just break in?"

Hearing this nasty title again, Zhang Zheng still couldn't accept it, but no matter how she refused, Tan Ying ignored it like the wind in her ears, and she would call it the same next time.

Zhang Zheng vetoed her proposal with a cold face, "A person who cultivates the truth, how can he act like a robber."

She took two steps forward, and her spiritual sense detected that there was an old woman on the bed. She should have been awakened by the movement outside. At this moment, she was huddled on the bed with a terrified expression, maybe she was not asleep at all.

"Old man!" Zhang Zheng called out in a soft voice, his lips parted, "We are immortal cultivators, and we are here to eradicate demon cultivators, please open the door."

The old woman closed her eyes tightly, her eyelids trembled, she dared not answer, she refused to open the door desperately, her attitude was very firm.

The proposal was rejected, so Tan Ying simply stood behind Zhang Zheng, leaning with folded arms, watching her persuasion earnestly.

A line of ridicule flashed across the clear and pure eyes, and the corners of the lips curled up.

A pedantic idiot.

Zhang Zheng couldn't hear her insults and disdain. It was extremely quiet here, so quiet that the whistling of the wind passing through the crack of the door seemed to be amplified infinitely.

Fear, anxiety, calm, despair, expectation, nostalgia...

All kinds of emotions are mixed and chaotic, seemingly incompatible with each other but harmoniously blended together, intertwined with the breath of life, and mixed into a gurgling stream rushing towards Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng followed the old woman's gaze towards the window lattice.

The window paper has turned yellow, and the four corners are lifted, and it is about to fall.A childish paper-cut flower is pasted in the center of the window, and the edge of the paper is cut rough, as if it was made by a child.

The old woman's tightly clenched palms were dripping with cold sweat, and a beautiful and bright red headband stood out in the dim night, but it should have been taken for granted.

A thought suddenly came to mind, Zhang Zheng moved his lips, and finally said: "Old man, we have seen your little granddaughter, the little girl is very scared..."

These words hit the old woman's heart like a giant drum, incredible and frightening... In an instant, all kinds of emotions turned into muddy tears.

Not caring about anything else, the old woman rolled and fell out of bed, with one leg half crippled, but stumbling towards the door.

The door was opened from the inside, eyes full of tears were staring at Zhang Zheng nervously and expectantly, bruises crawled up the thin, wrinkled lips.

"Jiujiu...my Jiujiu, where is she?"

Zhang Zheng used a meditation formula to her, and softly comforted her: "The little girl is fine, please tell us what happened here first, and take the little girl over after we get rid of Moxiu. Okay?"

The old woman's look of anticipation dimmed a little, and she welcomed them into the house with a dejected spirit, and then closed the door tightly.

Two months ago, this town was peaceful and happy, people supported themselves and neighbors were loving.

But just one month ago, Li Laohu, who went hunting in the mountains, never came back. His son and daughter-in-law asked a few neighbors to go up the mountain to look for them.

All night, there were eight people in the group going up the mountain, and when they came back the next day, there were only four people left, and all the son and daughter-in-law of Li Laohu's family were gone.

The four people who came back were also half-crazy and stupid. No matter how people asked, they only said insanely that there were monsters in the mountains, and they were all eaten by monsters.

Later, a dozen people disappeared inexplicably without any trace. They disappeared in the town without going up the mountain.

For a while, people were panicked and the atmosphere was tense.More than half a month ago, someone hurriedly reported to the governor, and the governor said that a fairy would come to rescue them soon.

Thinking that the immortal would come soon, they waited in the town, gathering together, not daring to go out alone.

In the end, instead of waiting for the immortal, the magic cultivator came.

"There are four people in total, all wrapped in black robes. When they waved their hands, the bodies of more than twenty people exploded into blood mist. The corpses were broken into pieces...so scared that everyone dared not move."

"They didn't allow us to leave the town, and they came to the town every night to pick people up, sometimes two, sometimes three...all the people who were picked out...never came back."

Thinking of the horrific appearance of those corpses, the old woman became frightened again, her lips trembled and she could not speak.

There are four magicians!
Zhang Zheng and Tan Ying looked at each other, but Senior Brother Wu only saw two of them, and the other two were either ambushing in the town at the beginning, or they were just outside the town.

The probability is even higher outside the town. If there are four people in the town, then they don't have to be so careful about sneaking up.

So what is their purpose?

Introduce them to the town, but don't rush to kill them all, just separate them.And they also succeeded. If it was to kill them, then they could completely besiege the single person with four people without any effort.

The most important point, how did Moxiu know that they would come here?
Unless a traitor leaks the news.

A terrible conjecture popped up, Zhang Zheng's eyes widened, and his heart beat like a drum.

"Fraud!"

Shouting to Tan Ying, her figure turned into an afterimage and ran straight to the place where Cao Ran's body was first found.

Tan Ying was a step slower in reacting, and when she caught up, she saw Zhang Zheng standing in a dead end in a daze.

Lying on the ground was an invisible female mummy, and the storage bag of the outer disciple of the Wanxuan Sect of the same style was opened, and it was empty inside.

They also deliberately found a fake storage bag to confuse them. It was really thoughtful, and it was expected that they would not look through the storage bag of the corpse of the same family.

In this way, the guess is probably correct.

Tan Ying didn't know why, and was about to ask, when she suddenly felt the ground shaking, as if something was about to come out of the ground.

Zhang Zheng looked horrified, he didn't care about his dislike for Tan Ying, and he didn't care about explaining, so he pulled Tan Ying along and ran towards the border of the town.

The figures of the two were forced to stop by the barrier.

The shaking of the ground continued, and the wave-like barrier began to change with the earthquake. Ominous black smoke emerged from the ground, clung to the barrier, and flowed continuously to the top.

Zhang Zheng drew out the dagger, and the spiritual energy poured into the dagger like a tidal wave. The sharpness was as real as it was concrete, and a huge phantom of the dagger slowly condensed in the air.

"boom--"

The phantom of the dagger slashed fiercely at the barrier, and waves of water rippling violently, devouring the attack of the dagger like a black hole.

In just a few breaths, the terrifying phantom was exhausted and collapsed.

Tan Ying had vaguely guessed the reason when she saw the abnormality in the barrier.

She didn't use any magic weapon, and gently touched the barrier with her bare hands.The flowing black air touched her palm, but she fled away in all directions as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

A strange smile climbed onto Tan Ying's fair and soft face, she withdrew her hand calmly, looked at Zhang Zheng's forehead dripping with cold sweat due to the accumulation of phantom overdrawn aura, her gaze was extraordinarily gentle, as if she was staring at her beloved lover.

This scene was not noticed by Zhang Zheng. She devoted herself to attacking the barrier, but the biggest attack she tried her best was also crumbling in front of the barrier.

"Junior Sister Zhang! Junior Sister Tan!"

Suddenly the voices of the three senior brothers came, and they rushed to the barrier with anxious expressions.

Wu Ribin asked urgently: "What's going on? Have you met Moxiu?"

Now is not the time to talk carefully, Zhang Zheng made a long story short, "We have been deceived, the purpose of the demon cultivator is to lure us into the battle, Cao Ran is probably the demon cultivator's minion. Now that the formation has been activated, there will be great difficulties when the formation is completed .”

This is not to say that it is not shocking.

They also noticed changes in the barrier, especially the billowing black clouds that continued to gather and expand in the sky directly above.

The ominous and disgusting breath became stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to invade the lungs.

Several attacks had no effect, and the barrier was intact.

Several people looked at each other and smiled wryly, their eyes were full of unwillingness, but they were helpless.

Telling every day to be unresponsive, and making the earth not work, could it be that they are going to die here today.
