Xie Xian Yao

Chapter 18 The Night After the Silence

Hearing what Mo Xuan said, everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, there were not only these people from his own sect, but also Elder Dong. If he couldn't subdue the corpse demon, wouldn't it be ridiculous.

"Hehe, I know you don't believe it..." Mo Xuan drank the wine in the pot silently, glanced at the expressionless crowd with drunken eyes, and said, "If it is an ordinary corpse demon, maybe you want to take it down, would you It's much simpler, but I'm afraid the corpse demons here are not something you can deal with."

"What do you mean by that?" Yun Changkong asked.

Mo Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a strange and unpredictable smile: "Because she is not an ordinary corpse."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they looked at Mo Xuan with more thoughtful eyes, but they didn't speak, they just heard Mo Xuan say quietly: "I once met a corpse demon, his strength was in the early stage of the god's womb. Beheading him, chasing him for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, I just wiped him out, but I was also severely injured because of this, and my cultivation base was imprisoned in the realm of the gods forever, and I failed to improve half a point in five years."

Hearing this, everyone's complexion changed suddenly. They never imagined that the Taoist in front of them had the strength to enter the Taoist realm, far above them, and once killed a corpse demon with his own strength. Just think about it. Feel incredible.

"Senior's righteousness, I admire it." Yun Changkong stood up, bowed his hands to Mo Xuan, and said, "I hope that senior will forgive us for being rude."

"Hehe..." Mo Xuan shook the empty jug, shook his head, waved his hands, and said, "It's just a useless casual cultivator, with no great ability, and I just spend my days in a daze. gone."

"I don't know if seniors know where this corpse demon, which has caused troubles in many villages in Baima Town, is now..." Yun Changkong asked.

"She..." Mo Xuan frowned, seemed to be in deep thought, seemed to be remembering, but before he could say anything useful, he fell down on the wine table, drowsy and snoring, and everyone sighed helplessly One sound.

After resting Taoist Moxuan, Ning Yu and the others fell into a deep silence. Everyone had completely different expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Brother, I think there is something wrong in Baima Town..."

"I have the same feeling, but I just can't tell what's wrong."

"Although I didn't live in the town, I often heard people in the village say that the reason why Baima Town is called this name is because the white horses here are very famous, and they travel thousands of miles every day. It can be regarded as seeing a white horse, and the people in this town are also very weird..."

"You found it too?"

"Well, they give me the feeling that they are fake. Everyone's range of motion is extremely stiff, and their eyes are also dull, like dead bodies. Even the shopkeepers and The same goes for the bartender."

After listening to Ning Yu's analysis, Yun Changkong and the others nodded, deeply convinced that this was the first time they had seen such an extraordinary situation, and although they knew there must be tricks in it, they didn't know what to do.

"I think there must be something wrong here..." Ning Yu frowned, and said in thought: "And I always feel that this senior who suddenly appeared must have some secrets in him, otherwise, with his cultivation strength, he wouldn't be able to see it." If there is no abnormality in Baima Town, if he really knows the situation in Baima Town, how can he ignore it."

"Junior Brother Ning is right, and that's what I thought in my heart. It seems that Baima Town is not as simple as I imagined." Yun Changkong nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Everyone, although No danger has been found here for the time being, but we must not take it lightly, I can’t think of something big happening tonight.”

"How about this, let's work in groups of two and investigate separately, maybe we can find some clues." Ning Yu suggested.

Yun Changkong thought for a moment, nodded, and divided the ten people into five groups. Then, they walked out of the wine shop and spread out in all directions.

Ning Yu and a disciple named Qingxuan searched towards the west. Along the way, the two saw many pedestrians. The town was well-organized. whisper.

"Senior brother, listen..." Ning Yu saw a house with the door open, peach blossom branches came out of the wall, and even laughter and words came from the courtyard, which was completely opposite to the silence on the streets of the town.

Qingxuan listened carefully, shook his head, and said, "What are you listening to?"

Ning Yu was startled, looked at Qingxuan blankly, and asked, "Can't you hear the laughter in that family's courtyard?"

Qingxuan shook his head, and then his expression became concentrated, and he looked at Ning Yu, and immediately made up his mind to go and find out, because this is very unusual, there is no reason that one person can hear it, and one person cannot hear it .

The closer he got to this family's courtyard, the more Ning Yu could hear the laughter inside, it seemed to be a woman, the clever and pleasant laughter was like a clear spring, faint, cool, and refreshing into people's ears In the middle, people can't help but feel ripples.

"Little wolf, you are disobedient again..."

A faint screeching sound fell into Ning Yu's ears, and he was immediately taken aback. He didn't expect that the owner of this family was so familiar. It was the woman who chased Mo Xuan before.

"It turns out that she lives here..." Ning Yu thought a little more in his heart, and Qing Xuan, who was beside him, finally heard the voice of the owner of the courtyard clearly, and said to Ning Yu: "She is not..."

Just as he was about to speak, a woman came out from the courtyard. It was Xiao Qi. Seeing Ning Yu and Ning Yu standing at the door with doubts in their eyes, he asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

"It turned out to be Miss Seven. The two of us had nothing to do. We wandered around and happened to see a branch of peach blossom coming out of the wall. We wanted to visit the owner of this place and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, but we never thought about it. Miss Seven is the owner of this place." Ning Yu cupped his hands.

"Hehe..., that's how it is. Since you want to see it, then come in! Anyway, except for the flower thief who often comes back, most of the time I am here alone." Xiao Qi, who is as elegant as a lotus, smiled slightly. , said, then turned around and walked back.

Ning Yu and Qing Xuan looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed Xiao Qi into the courtyard.

"Wang, wang..."

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, a black shadow rushed over. It was a big dog with black fur and scarlet eyes. At this moment, it was opening its bloody mouth to bite Ning Yu. The little Qi snorted lightly: "Little wolf, go back..."

The big dog stopped suddenly, trembling, whimpered, crawled down, and slowly walked up to Xiao Qi, with a pair of scarlet bloodthirsty eyes like nails, staring at Ning Yu and the two coldly.

"Hehe, the little wolf doesn't mean anything malicious, it's just that when outsiders enter here, it will be more or less agitated." Xiao Qi smiled faintly at Ning Yu and Qingxuan, and said, "The main reason is that the flower thief Mo Xuan always bullies the little wolf. That's why the little wolf is somewhat hostile towards strangers, so it didn't scare you!"

Ning Yu and Qingxuan shook their heads with a smile, joking, if they were scared by a dog, how would they have the face to talk about cultivating immortals and proving the Tao.

There is only one peach tree full of fragrance in the courtyard. The peach blossoms are competing for beauty, and there are also budding flowers that are about to bloom shyly. The whole peach tree is as beautiful and dazzling as early spring.

"No, it's midsummer now, why are the peach blossoms still so fragrant and beautiful..." Ning Yu caught the key point in an instant, and glanced at the blooming peach tree, but didn't find that there were too many broken branches, only two or three traces of breakage.

In an instant, Ning Yu's mind fell to the bottom, because he thought of the first time he met Xiao Qi, but he remembered that she said that her family's flowers had been picked by Taoist Moxuan, where did they come from? so lush.

In an instant, Ning Yu's back was covered with cold sweat. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qi who looked normal, and asked, "Miss Xiao Qi, is there no one else here except you?"

"Daddy and mother are gone, and there are only me and Xiaolang here." Xiaoqi looked a little lonely, and the sadness in her eyes did not seem to be fake. At this moment, she gently squatted down and stroked the big dog. and said: "But it's okay, with the little wolf with me, I won't be very lonely."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Ning Yu said modestly, and stopped talking, just looked at Xiaoqi quietly, trying to find some flaws in her, but he didn't find anything, so he had to give up.

The two chatted with Xiao Qi for a while, bid farewell to Xiao Qi, and returned to the wine shop. At this time, Yun Changkong and others also returned to the wine shop, while Mo Xuan Taoist was still in a coma.

Ning Yu didn't tell about the anomalies he saw from Xiaoqi, but Qingxuan said a lot about what he saw, but he didn't mention the anomalies. Things are hidden in the bottom of my heart.

As night fell, the land fell into darkness, and the silence was terrifying. Those pedestrians wandering on the street, like walking corpses, returned to their homes one after another. The streets of Baima Town looked extremely deserted and mysterious, and a faint chill permeated it.

Suddenly, the ancient yellow talisman that had been carried by Yun Changkong's side trembled suddenly, flew out in an instant, and flew towards the outside of the wine shop.

"There is a situation, chase..." Yun Changkong said, his body moved suddenly, and he flew out chasing the ancient yellow talisman, followed by Ning Yu and others.

Somewhere in Baima Town, an astonishing corpse gas suddenly erupted, spreading in all directions, covering the entire Baima Town, extremely terrifying, and those people who had already returned home walked out of the house one after another, staring at him with dull eyes. In the direction where the corpse aura erupted, there was a sudden roar, a dazzling black light burst out from his eyes, and the astonishing suffocating corpse aura suddenly radiated from his whole body.

"Ugh..."

"Has it been discovered after all? Why is it like this..." Somewhere, a young Taoist suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes full of sadness and pain quietly looked at the place where the corpse aura erupted, and murmured: "Did I do something wrong?"
