Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 52 The mystery of the mist pouring out of the mouth
After the words City Lord Liu fell, everyone's hearts seemed to be tied with a stone, and they sank to the bottom in the quagmire of despair. It was not until a few seconds passed that everyone thought of breathing.

But when everyone calmed down a little, City Lord Liu continued to ask: "Do you know what else it did after it opened its eyes?"

"Wha, what..." Ge Hongxuan, the leader of the Iron Control Sect, has a bronze complexion, a face full of flesh, and a deep scar from his left temple to his chin. He usually presents himself as a fierce and tough guy, but now he is actually afraid. His lips were trembling.

"It opened its big mouth that covered the sky and the sun, and a huge amount of mist, as thick as substance, spewed out from its mouth towards Izumo City. After it finished spouting, it disappeared into the mist and disappeared. Missing. It is like a god who regularly spreads mist to the world..."

As City Lord Liu spoke, his voice gradually became softer. The others did not witness such a shocking scene with their own eyes, but they could sense most of it from City Lord Liu's words.

Everyone was speechless for a long time. Who can stop the evil spirit as high as a mountain and as powerful as a god?

"So the weird fog outside should be caused by this evil spirit." City Lord Liu was the first to regain his composure, and he continued:
"We all know that evil spirits can be roughly divided into three types according to their abilities: flesh and blood, five elements, and dream masters. The fog beast outside the city should be an evil spirit belonging to the five elements, and it definitely has extremely high authority! Otherwise, there is no way at all. To create such a large-scale movement, I have personally seen the evil spirits belonging to the Five Elements family in the Holy Mountain, and the strongest among them is nothing more than the level of being bathed in fire. This also explains why, even Senior Brother Gu, who is in the Feather Realm, failed to do so. It escaped from the hands."

"This..." Qi Daodong was so shocked that he even forgot to finish the five words 'how is this possible'? He could only say the word 'this' before he could no longer make a sound.

When he was young, he traveled extensively and knew more about evil spirits than others. He asked hesitantly:
"But... isn't it true that the higher the authority, the less visible the evil spirit is? It has such magical power that it can see... in the condensing water realm?"

City Lord Liu shook his head and put the evil spirit away tightly: "You have never seen evil spirits with your own eyes. If we want to take the initiative to see evil spirits, there will indeed be restrictions on our cultivation. But there is another situation where evil spirits take the initiative and are never seen. Come out and let you see."

"Thousands of years ago, before the aphrodisiac was discovered, the coastal areas were full of private temples built by mortals. They were full of statues of various evil spirits. They worshiped these evil spirits in an attempt to become their slaves. And gain power. How do you think they carved those lifelike statues? Did they rely on imagination? No, it was because mortals had seen them with their own eyes."

"Then, why do they want us to see them?" Qi Daodong knew the answer in his heart, but he still asked tremblingly.

"Sometimes, it's out of necessity to display your abilities; sometimes, it's to lure prey into taking the bait; and sometimes, it's because in its eyes, we are no different from ants that can be crushed to death at will, and you will pretend to be a ghost. Dealing with a dying ant?"

No one thought that seven days ago, Gu Yao was still reminding everyone not to indulge in the blessing of the sacred mountain and forget the existence of evil spirits. At this moment, the evil spirit appeared outside the city and stared at them eagerly, and Gu Yao also warned them again with his life.

"Then where did it come from? Didn't the Shenhui Stone stop all the evil spirits overseas? Even if there are occasionally some evil spirits that are lucky enough to set foot on the earth, isn't there an evil warding department... How could such a powerful evil spirit be allowed to infiltrate? He came in and appeared in Izumo City. Our Izumo City is not close to the coast." Qi Daodong asked puzzledly.

You Su shook his head secretly. He was someone who had faced evil spirits and horrors directly. He sighed that people were really well protected by the sacred mountain. Even for a person with Qi Daodong's level of cultivation, You Su could tell from his words that he relied on the Holy Mountain and the Evil Exorcism Department, let alone others?

Lord Yanagi didn't answer the question directly. He turned his head and looked outside the main hall. The strange fog was still filling the air quietly. "Do you know why Izumo Castle is called Izumo Castle?" "Izumo Castle is surrounded by mountains on three sides. When the city was built, There is always a faint mist floating around this place, which makes the whole city seem to be born in the sea of ​​clouds, so it is called Izumo City."

An old man with the same gray hair said eloquently. This old man's name is Lu Muchun, and he is also a sect leader. He has lived in Izumo City for hundreds of years, and he can be regarded as the person who knows Izumo City best.

"Well, have you ever thought about where this fog comes from?"

"Of course it's because of the geographical location of Izumo City. It's surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a humid climate. It's normal for fog to occur." Although Lu Muchun felt that there was something in the words of Lord Yanagi, he still answered truthfully.

"What if I tell you that this fog is probably not naturally formed, or not entirely?" City Master Liu said in a dangerous tone.

A gleam flashed in Lu Muchun's eyes, "The city lord means..."

"Yes, this evil spirit did not seep in from the coast recently. The reason why it can avoid the Shenhui Stone and the Evil Abuse Division is because it has always been here! It has been hidden deep in the ground of Izumo City! It has been there for a thousand years. Long!"

"Thousands of years ago, the Shenshan Mountain created the Shenhui Stone, which completely blocked the evil spirits from the coast, and the God Mountain Evil Exorcism Department began to eliminate the evil spirits remaining on the earth on a large scale. So far, except for the occasional evil spirits who have been lucky enough to set foot on the earth, , the life of the creatures in the five continents can be regarded as peaceful and peaceful, almost making us forget the existence of evil spirits."

"But in fact, there has always been a saying that thousands of years ago, there were many powerful evil spirits that even the Evil Control Department could not find, hiding in the earth! And the comfort of thousands of years has long made people ignore this matter. Now in the city The one outside is probably one of them. It is hiding under the ground of Izumo City, covered by the natural fog, waiting for the day when it reappears! And today is that day!"

Everyone was silent. As the lord of a city, he shouldn't have created an atmosphere of despair in this sudden desperate situation. But in fact, everyone knew that City Lord Liu was not exaggerating at all. He just stated the facts that he thought were possible. .

"Dead... we are all going to die..." Someone in the crowd murmured, breaking the deathly silence. It turned out to be Sheng Ziling, who had thick limbs.

"Shut up!" City Lord Liu shouted angrily, and an invisible Xuan Qi shot out, passing by Sheng Ziling's cheek, hitting the wooden pillar behind and exploding large pieces of sawdust.

Everyone was frightened by the city lord's actions, looking at the furious old man as if they were meeting him for the first time.

"We're not dead yet! If you want to die, just hide and commit suicide. Don't be embarrassed here!" City Lord Liu gritted his teeth. "I'm not telling you this to make you scared, I just hope you can be mentally prepared." Get ready! Whether it’s for ourselves or the 30,000 people in this city, cheer up!”
