Why does this rainy town have no rain for a month? It must be that the person in Beijing has been punished by God for his unreasonable words and deeds this year. This must be a precursor to a severe drought or something.

Hua Yan also became interested when she heard what they said. I don't know how they can be sure that this severe drought is the fault of others, and they bear it?

Suddenly heard a few barking dogs, Huayan turned her head instinctively, and saw a creature that looked like an ordinary pig but with a pair of chicken feet hiding in the shadows. Seeing her looking over, she was surprised that someone could notice Huayan took a step forward, and the creature turned around and ran away, leaving behind a dog barking all the way.

Huayan knew that the creature was called Lili, and where the legend appeared, there must be a lot of water and soil engineering there.

It is not a bad monster, but why it appears here makes Huayan curious.

This, on the contrary, deepened her idea of ​​going to the tower to take a look. She wanted to see what kind of monster was harming the world here.

Having decided so, Huayan rushed to the inn, and just after entering the inn door, she heard the shopkeeper and Xiao Er discussing going to a farther river first, and carrying a jar of clean water with a shoulder pole for use.

It is said that the water in the well exudes a strange smell, and it is also very cloudy. If it is used for food, it will spoil the stomach of the guests, and they can't bear it.

Huayan frowned when she heard this, and said to herself, the monster in the tower must not stay.

The night was so dark that there was no light.

The alley next to the outer wall of the tower is not a single person. In the interlacing of branches and vines, there seems to be a kind of dark and deep terror.

The dense vines seemed to have their own consciousness, slowly wandering away, and suddenly stopped moving, no longer moving.

There are rumors that the tower is haunted in the town, and a wall was built to surround the tower, leaving only an unguarded iron gate covered with cinnabar and dog blood, but some people do not believe it, and even With the mentality of people dying for money and birds dying for food, seeing the officers and soldiers not daring to patrol at the moment, he actually used his brains.

From ancient times to the present, the night is dark and windy, and it is always the most suitable for murder, arson and stealing.

There was a rustle on the low wall outside the tower, and then two black shadows appeared on the wall one after another, each dragging a package into the wall.

The two parcels made iron sounds respectively. If it wasn't for the iron gate being drenched with dog blood and smeared with cinnabar, the two black shadows would have passed through the iron gate.

After the package landed, the two black shadows jumped lightly one after another. They did not make a sound when they landed. They carried the package and ran nimbly against the wall towards the tower. When they got to the tower, they saw the tower with only one lock on it. Opening the door, the two black shadows seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their figures slowed down.

The so-called Yigao people are bold, not only are the two black shadows not afraid of the rumors from the outside world, but they are also a little curious, and they keep looking around. It's a pity that except for the ever-burning lanterns in the tower, other places dare not light the lights because of the rumors , the dark street outside the wall is empty after nightfall, and even the watchmen dare not go to the street.

After all, no one is willing to take risks, how can Da Geng say?The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of ghosts!

After they approached the tower gate, their faces were revealed. They were actually a middle-aged man and a young man. Their rough attire was obviously different from the Jiangnan people in this town.

The two took out tools, and smashed the lock on the tower door in a few clicks. The two of them pushed open the tower door with happy faces. In a place where there seemed to be candlelight, the two looked at each other, not knowing whether to move forward or back.

The young man wanted to retreat, but the middle-aged man grabbed him: "Don't worry, boy, you can't rush forward in this situation. I heard from the old man that sometimes ghosts and elves love this. When you step back or take a step forward, you will find that Your feet have already stepped on the ground, waiting for you to fall to pieces."

When the middle-aged man said this, the young man immediately felt creepy, and grabbed the middle-aged man's arm with his backhand. : "Uncle, are the rumors from the outside world true? Is there really that dirty thing here?"

"Bah, bah, bah, childish words! What nonsense are you talking about? In broad daylight, the sky is bright..."

"Uncle, it's night, and Lang Lang Qian Kun doesn't protect people like us." The boy couldn't help interrupting the middle-aged man. "We shouldn't have taken this risk to come here. My mother still expects me to go back and get married soon. She said that the dolls from Ergouzi's house next door know how to call someone."

"Then you have to have money, otherwise, even if you are married, your wife will be starved and run away sooner or later..." The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned ugly. Of course he knew that his decision this time was a little bit wrong, but the arrow has already been released, only The current strategy can only be played by ear, and by the way, if he can make a fortune, he doesn't want to do this kind of thing anymore.

The middle-aged man slowly took out a dagger from his pocket, cut open his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on the ground under his feet: "Boy, you can try it too. I just heard the old man say that it's okay."

Sure enough, after the blood dripped to the ground, a dense fog on the ground dissipated. Both of them were startled by the scene behind them.

Both of them were in a cold sweat from fright, and they were secretly glad that they didn't move.

Just when the two were relaxing, two vines approached them unknowingly. Before the boy could react, he felt a tightness and pain in his ankle, and then he yelled and was dragged down. But the middle-aged man reacted very quickly, and quickly threw out one side of the package, letting the boy grab it, and he grabbed the side in his hand tightly. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another vine had arrived and directly circled around. Pass the middle-aged man's neck, and drag it hard...

Inn

"Your little dragon is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I fainted and threw it to the Taoist priest surnamed Liu, so I was able to escape." Just after nightfall, the ghost pupa knocked on Huayan and Ao Shilan's door, dragging The two walked in the direction of the pagoda, the small fan flickered, obviously they were bound to win the white jade thousand Buddha lotus seat in the pagoda. : "When we get the rosette and come back before it wakes up...the formation on the tower is aimed at demons and ghosts, and there should be no restrictions on a cultivator like you, Hua Yan, so this time, I ask you to get rid of those boring things from inside." The formation is broken. Turn back to the things in my package, you can choose whatever you want."

Ghost Pupa loves jewelry and jade, but he also likes the new and dislikes the old. The things in his package may not be worse than the white jade thousand Buddha lotus seat. He will do this for the jewelry and jade that he has never seen. Giving things to Huayan, and secondly, it is nothing more than the nature of liking the new and loathing the old of the jewelry and jade.

Hua Yan was not moved by it, she only looked at the towering tower in the distance, and asked in a cold voice: "Your heart is full of these worldly yellow and white things, it is not a good thing for your cultivation!"

"My ghost cultivator clan and your comprehension clan have different cultivation methods, and there is also a big difference in the place where they live." Ghost Pupa bent down and patted the dust on his body: "The ghost cultivator clan has not had any spiritual mountain caves since ancient times. He said, he has always been rooted in this mortal world, he was a layman who loved yellow and white things in his lifetime, and this obsession is naturally unavoidable after death... Huayan, have you ever lived in the mortal world?"

Huayan nodded, and then shook her head again: "According to the master and the others, I should have been here before I was three years old, but when I entered the Xuanji Sect at the age of three, I forgot all the previous things. Even if I remember, one Three-year-olds also have trouble remembering a lot of things."

It was the first time for Ao Shilan and Gui Pu to hear Huayan mention their own backgrounds, and they couldn't help being very curious: "You entered the Mystery Gate at the age of three, and the hypocrisy of the Mystery Gate, it is really rare to be able to teach you like this... ...It's just that they probably forgot to tell you that outside, things like spirit stones are useless to them. Blindly good medicine has a blatant effect, and it is indispensable to play with it."

Huayan looked at Guipu's smiling face and knew what he was referring to. In fact, no matter whether she was in the previous life or in this life, she felt incompatible with the Xuanji Sect. In the previous life, the Xuanji Sect was catastrophe. But after learning that the murderer was the Demon Lord Ao Shilan, he suppressed his passion for revenge and prepared to wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

It's a pity, when Junior Master Daoxuan suppressed her with one hand and gave her two choices, one was to take revenge, which was to die, or the other was to work hard to rebuild the sect and wait for a more suitable time to take revenge, so she chose the second way.

"However, you are really not curious. Who is your surname? Who is your first name? Where is your home?" Seeing that Huayan did not speak, Ghost Pupa continued to ask.

"..." Huayan didn't speak. If she hadn't been to Wuyin Villa before, she might just dismiss the person who abandoned her, but now she really has doubts about her life experience.

Seeing that Huayan was still silent, Ghost Pupa wanted to ask something, but Ao Shilan grabbed her, pulled her back, and threw her in the rear.

Although the thrown ghost chrysalis stood firm, he sighed helplessly. He was just curious.

In this weird silence, the three of them had already stepped onto the wooden bridge connecting the towers. At this time, the night was very dark. Because of the problem of demons, there was no night market full of people in this town, and even the lights of the houses, It's almost dimmed too.

The road on the bridge was even more pitch black, and the surroundings were quiet only the night breeze blowing on the lake, blowing the corners of the robes of the three of them flying.

Of course, not all the lights are turned off, at least in this tower, which is rumored to be favored by the gods, there is still a faint light from the second floor.

It is said that this pagoda is favored by the gods, and the lights on the pagoda are always on and never go out...

"Hey, if you take a closer look, this tower is so weird. Let's talk about that door, it's like a monster that wants to devour people. Let's be careful not to treat it as dinner."

"I'm afraid, we are not enough for others to stick their teeth together!" Ao Shilan looked at the tower gate thoughtfully. The formation in front of him was indeed aimed at demons and goblins as the ghost pupa said, but it seemed to be against him who had chains on his body. Speaking of him, there was nothing wrong with it. Presumably, it was because the demonic energy was suppressed and he was mistaken for a human being. That's good, at least he can enter the tower with Huayan.

Ghost Chrysalis was just a joke, seeing Ao Shilan being so serious, he couldn't help but feel happy again, he hugged Huayan, and laughed: "Oh, brother Ao Shi's words are so scary, I'm so scared."

Seeing him like this, Ao Shilan's face immediately changed, while Huayan poked her elbow.

The puppet that was poked by Huayan's elbow let out an ouch, and then deliberately said in a coquettish tone: "No, no, I'm so scared, I want Huayan to protect me!"

"Go away!" Ao Shilan's fingertips were burning with flames, and he grabbed Guipu's shoulder, and he jumped away when it was so hot.

"噗!" Ghost Pupa turned his head and looked at his shoulder that had been scorched, even though it didn't hurt or itch, but it was scorching hot, he couldn't help sighing secretly that Ao Shilan's black hands were really ruthless.

Huayan turned around and looked at the ghost pupae and the gradually healing wound, raised her eyes and stared at Ao Shilan, Ao Shilan pretended not to see, stretched out her arm, hugged Huayan's shoulder, continued to move forward, said slowly as she walked : "Huayan, after entering the tower, there is no need to use the five spirits spell to hide the figures of you and me. The things here have been motionless since we first arrived at the bridge, and we are ready to touch them. Only when we know our background will we act. The moment we enter the tower gate, we will hide ourselves."

Huayan looked at him sideways, with a slight smile in her eyes: "Are you determined to bully that monster?"

Ao Shilan raised her handsome eyebrows, pinched her fingers quickly, and her expression became a little more serious.

Hua Yan followed him for a few steps, then recited the formula in a deep voice, and when the two of them reached the tower gate, she squeezed the formula suddenly, passed through the tower gate locked by layers of chains, and took the opportunity to stealth.

At the place blocked by the tower gate, two gleams of light flashed, and Ao Shilan and Huayan scattered in the night like mist, but before the mist dissipated, Ao Shilan tightly grasped Huayan's right hand, and the two of them intertwined , The temperature transmitted between the fingers can make each other feel the existence of the other.

Ao Shilan held Huayan's hand tightly, and her fingers slid across her palm, and said softly: "Don't get lost!"

"Hmm." Huayan's palm was itchy from Ao Shilan's fingers, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tighter.Huayan wanted to explain that if she held it like this, it would be inconvenient for her to pinch her knuckles later, but before she could say anything, she heard Ao Shilan's voice in her ear, with a soft laugh: "I am different from you, If you break free, I will be like a blind person, and I will have nowhere to look for you."

Hua Yan heard what he said, so she didn't try to take back her hand, and began to look at the surrounding environment.

After looking at it, I found that the layout of the pagoda was clearly made by the masters of Buddhism, not to mention the lifelike thousand Buddhas on the murals, but the ground that was stepped on along the way was also printed with layers of Dharma seals.

Such a tower town is here, and there are few spirits and monsters in a radius of a hundred miles, but in such a land, why are there monsters?

"Go up to the second floor and have a look." Ao Shilan dragged Huayan to step on the beautifully built steps, walking towards the second floor step by step. As soon as she stepped into the second floor of the tower, Huayan felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which was different from the first floor. The same thing is that the murals on the second floor seem to have been scraped all over with a knife, leaving only a small amount of murals and a lot of scratches on the wall.

It looks a little cautious.

The candlesticks on the stone wall had long been burned out, and no one came to replace them with new ones. The only light was the dimly lit lamps that were only a long way away.

"These lights are people from the small town, did they come to light them during the day?" Hua Yan looked at them suspiciously, and it seemed that when they came up, there was no trace of other people passing by in a short time.

"No, these are ever-burning lamps. Since ancient times, the lights lit by every household on New Year's Eve cannot be blown out once they are lit until the oil runs out and the candles go out by themselves."

"Why can't it be extinguished?" Huayan asked curiously.

"There are two kinds of long-burning lanterns. One is the kind I just told you, which is lit on New Year's Eve, and the other is the ones that usually appear in the tomb. People here have the tradition of seeing death as life. It is also called the yin house, and the king pays special attention to the mausoleum. As the residence after death, they also hope to be as brightly lit as the palace before their death, so there is a matter of placing everlasting lights in the tomb.

The reason why the lights cannot be blown out on New Year's Eve to keep them bright is said to be because on New Year's Eve, when the gods go to heaven, the ghosts and gods come out to look for food, especially those ghosts, sprites, and monsters. The scattered ghosts who have not been honored are even more coveted companions.If the lights are blown out and the sky and the earth cannot be seen in the dark, it will arrest people along the way, especially if children cry in the middle of the night and old people cough, their lives will be in danger. "Ao Shilan said, and smiled slightly: "This kind of thing is just their guess after all. The gods and Buddhas are ruthless and busy with cultivation. Man, why wait for the annual time. "

"Yeah, it's been a long time since no one has achieved a real result... You said the other kind is a tomb. This tower is not a tomb. Could it be that it was placed on New Year's Eve?" Huayan looked at the ever-burning lights curiously, even though she didn't understand much. The worldly etiquette, but also know that New Year's Eve is not at this time, if this ever-burning lantern is really left over from that time, it must have been on for too long.

Huayan frowned and thought for a while, then raised her head suddenly, took a heavy breath, and asked eagerly: "The lamp here, isn't it the kind that never goes out?"

The three-flowered lantern uses the three souls of the natal monks who are cultivated as the wick, and the seven souls as the lamp oil to achieve the effect of longevity. Those who are refined into the three-flowered lantern will suffer from the burning pain every day and cannot be relieved. !

Generally, unless there is a deep hatred that cannot be resolved by killing the other party, no one will harm their morality and virtue to do this three lanterns.

"No, they don't have that level of cultivation yet. Of course, even if they don't have that level of cultivation, it doesn't affect their ability to bury other people's lives for no reason and without any hatred... Look carefully, these ever-burning lights are actually just tombs. The kind of ever-burning lights in the house."
