Great Dao Ji

Ghost?

Entering the mountains?

Yu Xuan had doubts in his heart, wondering what this big shot from Jingyesi wanted to do.

However, he still stopped the restlessness of his subordinates and followed him on horseback.

They are not monks in the ordinary sense. Although they can fly in the air, their speed is faster than the "wind-chasing horses" under them.

But for them, maintaining their peak condition before the war is far more important than improving even a little bit faster.

Lin Qianlong obviously knew about these Qiu Ba's ways, and didn't care. He walked straight to Longji Mountain through the wind and snow.

Wangshan's pursuit of death is naturally not applicable to a group of people.

The Zhufeng horse can run tens of thousands of miles in a day and night, and it can go even faster without sacrificing horsepower. Lin Qianlong is naturally much faster.

But even so, it was early in the morning when everyone gathered. When they arrived at Longji Mountain, the sky was completely dark, and the night covered the sky.

Strive for glory in the snow.

"Huh?"

At the foot of a barren mountain, Lin Qianlong suddenly stopped, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "How could this be?"

In the night, there were only a few stars. Although there was snow light, the visibility was extremely low, and ordinary people could not see more than three feet in front of them.

Of course it doesn’t matter to practitioners.

Yu Xuan threw the horse to his subordinates, took one step, flew thousands of feet and landed on the barren mountain. Following Lin Qianlong's gaze and looking into the distance, a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"How could this happen?"

Under the cover of night, the mountains were silent as the wind blew and snow fell, but in the eyes of the two of them, there were a few lights shining like stars in the mountains.

They could see clearly and carefully.

This is the light of fire, and it is not a fire in the mountain, but there are people, and some whispers can even be heard faintly.

There are actually quite a few people living in the mountains?

"Until I went to Anning Mansion, I would never have imagined that there are people living in the mountains. To avoid taxes and corvee? Or..."

Li Qianlong withdrew his gaze and glanced at Yu Xuan lightly.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were seventy-two provinces, many states, prefectures, and counties, but there were no villages.

Because without the protection of the city, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive in the wild, let alone the wild at night.

Not to mention the mountain forests where evil spirits and wild monsters are entrenched.

This is no longer a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

It’s like cooking it yourself, putting it on a plate, and feeding it to others’ mouths!

Lin Qianlong was a little surprised, but Yu Xuan's face turned ugly.

All regions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, from the Dao to the government, made their own decisions on taxation, corvee service, and even conscription and other matters.

What could force a group of people to abandon the safety of the city and take risks to live in the mountains where ghosts are rampant?

In front of people coming from the imperial capital, this is simply a slap in the face to the entire Anning government officials and soldiers!

"Master Lin, please wait a moment and allow your subordinates to go investigate."

Yu Xuan's face turned ugly, and the knights who followed were also surprised. They looked around at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

It is not uncommon for people who find it difficult to live in the city and escape from the city, and some live in seclusion in the mountains.

But this is the first time that people gather to live in the mountains, at least in Anning Mansion.

"You and I can go together."

After Lin Qianlong was startled, a smile appeared on his face: "Such interesting things are rare."

He didn't care what forced these people who gathered in the mountains to come here.

What he cares about.

How could this group of people be able to gain a foothold in the mountains? The smoke and smoke already smelled of time. It was obvious that they had not lived here for a year or two.

"yes."

Yu Xuan is incompetent. There is a city in the mountain that is extremely strange. It is naturally good to have one more person.

"Commander Yu, come with me to take a look. As for you, catch some spirits alive in the mountains."

Lin Qianlong glanced at Yu Xuan's subordinates, not caring about their expressions, and only gave a faint warning:

"There are many ghosts at night, so don't act rashly if you encounter them. You guys know this better than me."

The words have not yet fallen.

People have disappeared on the barren mountains.

"Boss Yu?" Several subordinates asked Yu Xuan for instructions.

"Just obey!"

The bald man glanced at several of his subordinates, stretched out his hand to pull out the broken saber, handed it to them, and said in a deep voice: "Hold the broken saber, and avoid the ghosts. If there is danger, release the broken saber!"

"yes!"

Several subordinates looked serious, took the sword, turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Jingyashi"

Only then did Yu Xuan exhale, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. Although the words of the young man in black were not sharp, his aura was huge.

It made him feel a little stressed.

A little-known patrolman of Jingyesi has achieved such a level of cultivation, what about the legendary Bafang Zhenfusi?

What kind of existence is the "Zhang Feng Mansion", the head of the Great Zhou Town?

Is there a city in the mountains?

Feeling the popularity in the mountains, Gong Yangyan's expression suddenly became weird.

He has lived long enough and has seen much more than ordinary people, but this is the first time he has seen a city in the mountains.

It's inappropriate to call it a city, but it's too small to call it a village. This gathering place is located between several mountain peaks. At a glance, there are tens of thousands of houses.

At least more than 100,000 people!

And it is only surrounded by a simple fence and has no other protection. In such a village, not to mention ghosts and monsters, it is not difficult for ordinary wild animals to enter and exit.

Weird

Gong Yangyan felt it was extremely strange, but he didn't say anything because An Qisheng was also watching here quietly.

He suspected that his sect leader had long known the location of this city.

Otherwise, how could you come straight here as soon as you enter the mountain?

"Living in the mountains."

An Qisheng quietly watched the night gradually fall and the village lights were on, with a hint of wandering in his mind.

When he dreamed of the human world, he once saw a human village that relied on evil spirits to survive. He thought that the evil spirits offered sacrifices of flesh and blood to survive in the mountains and forests.

Only this time, it seems a little different?

After staring for a moment, An Qisheng said calmly: "Mr. Yan, what do you think of the terrain here?"

"terrain?"

Gong Yangyan frowned, glanced with his consciousness, and then opened his eyes, his expression suddenly changed: "This, this city, doesn't exist?"

He was shocked.

Because when he closed his eyes and sensed it, there should have been a barren mountain and wasteland in front of him, and he couldn't sense any popularity or other things at all.

But when I opened my eyes, everything was lifelike, and I couldn't see anything strange at all!

"Is it because of the terrain?"

After being startled, Gong Yangyan remembered An Qisheng's words, his expression changed, and he was confused: "The terrain here is no different, but here, here"

"Wrong, wrong."

An Qisheng shook his head: "Although there are no peaks or beautiful water here, it is actually the place where mountains and mountains converge."

"Leyline?"

Gong Yangyan smiled bitterly, the earthly veins and celestial phenomena were what the 'formation cultivator' was good at, and he didn't even have a partial understanding of them.

Although the location of the earth veins can be detected, how can one know how the earth veins operate and how they converge?

"This is the place where the earth veins gather, and where the stars are shrouded. The earth veins below are connected, and the stars are connected above. Therefore, you can gather spiritual opportunities and get rid of evil spirits.

Although it is not a holy land in Lingshan, it can still be regarded as a geomantic treasure. "

There were various lines flickering in An Qisheng's eyes, but they reflected the gathering of energy in this world.

In Xuanxing terms, it is a magnetic field.

This mountain's ability to gather spiritual energy is not very powerful, but it can get rid of evil spirits, so it naturally has the conditions for human habitation.

Coupled with changes in the magnetic field and hidden anomalies, it has naturally become a gathering place for refugees.

Yes, refugees.

No matter how good this place is, it is still among ghosts and monsters. If it is not a last resort, who would be sad for the city and escape here?

"It's a bit incredible."

Gong Yangyan shook his head: "There are many spirits and monsters in the mountains. Wouldn't you be afraid if you live here?"

I just feel that what I have learned from reading books over the years is ultimately wrong.

Even he didn't want to stay in the mountains and forests at night.

It’s hard to imagine how ordinary people who don’t even have a formation dare to survive here.

"Afraid?"

In the cold wind and heavy snow, a sneer suddenly came out: "People know that ghosts are scary, but ghosts know that people's hearts are poisonous! How can ghosts and fairies be so poisonous to others?"

The sound was so sudden that Gongyang Yan was on guard, but he was still startled.

Without him, the owner of this voice was too close to them, less than a mile apart!

Wow~

The figure appeared, the cold wind in the mountain forest here became more and more fierce, the snow rolled like the tide, and the big trees danced wildly to meet it.

"Compared to ghosts, people are generally much kinder. The evil spirit destroys not only the body, but also the soul."

An Qisheng was not surprised that this person suddenly appeared. What he said before was meant for him to hear.

When I saw the person coming out, I looked at him unhurriedly.

In the color of the snow, it can be seen that the man's skin is whiter than the snow, crystal clear, as if there is no blood, but his eyes are as crystal clear as rubies.

This man was wearing plain yellow clothes and looked middle-aged. At first glance, he looked as weird as possible.

After being refuted, the man was not angry, but smiled gracefully: "He is a knowledgeable person."

The evil spirit is terrifying precisely because it affects the soul.

In a sense, there are not many ghosts who can retain their memories before death, and even if they can, they will never be the same as they were in life.

No matter how gentle you are in life, if you turn into a fierce ghost, you will become extreme, violent, murderous, ferocious, and twisted.

"Demon."

Gong Yangyan's eyes were alert, and the mana aura around him was slowly rising, as if he might take action at any time.

"I'm a demon, but so what?"

The middle-aged Huang Shan had a displeased look on his face, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes:

"I have heard that Confucianism has a saying: repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness! When we first met, we had no grievances or enmities. Just because I am a monster, you have murderous intentions?"

"A demon that keeps humans captive."

Gong Yangyan glanced at An Qisheng and saw that he didn't stop him. He felt certain in his heart and continued to speak: "Everyone can kill him!"

There are foreign races in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the end, the human race is respected, although practitioners like him don't value mortals very much.

But keeping humans in captivity is an absolute taboo in the Zhou Dynasty and even in the three great dynasties.

"Have I ever kept humans in captivity? Don't say not, even if I have, so what?!"

After hearing this, middle-aged Huang Shan couldn't control himself at all, and the anger that seemed to have been accumulated for a long time completely exploded:

"You, the human race, are allowed to keep all kinds of birds and beasts in captivity. Can't I, the king, keep humans in captivity?!"

Good night.

I recommended a book by a friend, "Family of Immortal Cultivators Can't Gone with the Wind". It's not bad. You can read it. Good night, good night.
