"This... just felt that it was a pity last night." Zhang Ji smiled sheepishly: "I didn't eat much."
Su Mo ignored him, but concentrated on looking at the Taoist scripture in his hand.
The flickering candles cast strange shadows in the dimly lit room.
In fact, he doesn't need light at all to read, and Zhang Ji lights the candle.
A full moon hung high in the sky, and the night gradually deepened.
Zhang Ji covered his mouth and let out a big yawn, but he still held on to his energy and didn't go to sleep.
Ever since he entered this Taoist temple, he has been feeling chills in his heart, and the hairs on his back suddenly sprouted, as if he was in a sea of swords and flames.
Su Mo's mind seemed to be concentrated on the book in his hand, flipping the title page with his fair fingers.
But after turning a page, he didn't lift his head, and suddenly said: "It's rude to enter the room without knocking."
"Huh?" Zhang Ji is in a daze right now, and he hasn't figured out what happened.
A gust of wind suddenly hit, blowing away the drowsiness on his body.
Zhang Ji rubbed his eyes, then his body shivered suddenly.
The room was full of people at some point!
Most of these people were dressed in rags, and they looked like refugees. Their figures were illusory, their feet did not touch the ground, and they were just suspended in mid-air. They were clearly a large group of ghosts!
"Master Su!"
A middle-aged woman's ghost walked out of it, and suddenly knelt down in front of Su Mo.
"Huh?" Su Mo stared at her: "You know me?"
"I know!" The ghost of the woman nodded desperately: "Does Daoist Su remember Jiuquan Town?"
"Of course I remember." Su Mo's eyes were fixed: "You are a resident of Jiuquan Town? Why are you in this Taoist temple?"
"Master Su!"
The woman did not answer Su Mo's question directly, but knelt on the ground with her forehead pressed against the ground: "Daozhang Su, you have great powers, you must avenge our family of five!"
"Not only our family, but also those innocent people!"
As soon as the words fell, all the ghosts in the room knelt down towards Su Mo at the same time.
"This..." Where has Zhang Ji seen such a battle?
A group of ghosts knelt and begged in front of them, almost catching up with the legendary Lord Hades.
"Get up first."
Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Tell me the whole thing from the beginning to the end. I am also very curious about what the monsters in this Taoist temple have done."
The woman stood up slowly and began to talk intermittently.
After Jiuquan Town experienced the scourge of Western zombies, the newly appointed village chief called on everyone to re-plan the land and houses.
But because of the zombies, many people thought that place was unlucky, so they all moved away, and their family of five also planned to come to Changcheng to join relatives.
It turned out that when I arrived, my relatives had already moved away.
They also spent all their money along the way, and when they had nowhere to go, they happened to see a wealthy lord outside the city showing mercy, gathering the refugees, saying that they would send them to work somewhere, and the treatment was quite generous.
The five people followed without hesitation. After all, there were still many refugees at that time, and they all had nothing. Even if the other party cheated again, what could they cheat from them?
In the end, with just one step, he stepped into hell! .
Chapter 399
The ghost of the woman is named Shi Laifeng.
The rich man led them around, and finally came to a spacious and dilapidated courtyard outside the city, saying that things would not come down until tomorrow, and asked everyone to have dinner and rest early.
These refugees naturally have no objection, after all, the free dinner is a gift to them.
Naturally, Shi Laifeng's family had no reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, not long after the meal, he felt a strong dizziness, and fell asleep groggyly.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an underground secret room.
In the middle of the secret room is a big alchemy furnace with a width of five or six meters and a height of more than three meters. The fire below the alchemy furnace is burning fiercely.
An old man in a blue Taoist robe stood with his hands behind his back, and the rich man who had led them before was standing beside the old man, with a flattering expression on his face, as if he was saying something.
Immediately afterwards, the old man waved his hand, unexpectedly grabbed four or five of the refugees from the air, and threw them into the alchemy furnace.
The shrill screams echoed throughout the secret room!
Naturally, the fate of the five members of Shi Laifeng's family was the same as that of other people, and they were all thrown into the alchemy furnace in the end.
In the end, their bodies were refined into a black-red liquid, and their souls were also imprisoned in this Taoist temple forever, unable to reincarnate forever!
Listening to Shi Laifeng's narration, Zhang Jiqi's old face flushed.
The so-called death of a rabbit is sad for a fox, let alone one of his own kind who died?
Just like that, he was killed wantonly by the demon, and in the end, there was not even a corpse left.
On the contrary, Su Mo's face remained calm, but the light in his eyes had become cold.
This is the longevity water!
He had some guesses in his mind before, but he still didn't expect that the real process of refining the water of longevity would be so brutal.
The living person must be thrown into the alchemy furnace and let it turn into pus.
And those old masters in Changcheng were the accomplices in this incident.
From this point of view, the one whose heart was poached last night did not deserve to die!
"Master Su!"
The ghost didn't have tears, but Shi Laifeng's sad breath came out clearly: "My daughter...is only five years old..."
"Su Zhenchuan!" Zhang Ji stood behind Su Mo with red eyes: "How should this monster be killed?"
"Aren't you afraid now?" Su Mo glanced at him.
"Afraid." Zhang Ji said slowly: "But as far as this matter is concerned, no matter how afraid you are, you will have to deal with it."
It can't be seen that most of the old man's body has been buried in the ground, but he still has some blood.
Su Mo pondered for a while, and said softly: "I will eradicate the demons, and your grievances will definitely be cleared up. The day after tomorrow...wait for the day after tomorrow, when I will kill the demons and save you the day of liberation."
"Thank you, Daoist Su!"
Shi Laifeng kowtowed again, and the ghosts of those refugees did the same.
Then, a large group of ghosts slowly disappeared, and the house became empty again.
The day after tomorrow is the grand ceremony that the demon said, Su Mo did not act now, because he was worried that if he swept past like this, he might miss something.
Besides, none of the monsters that filled the courtyard had come over yet.
The day of the grand ceremony is the day when the monsters gather and die together!
"Elder Zhang."
Because the other party is relatively old, Su Mo has always used the honorific title.
He put a messenger talisman in Zhang Ji's hand: "It's still the same, once you find any trouble, immediately tear up the talisman."
While speaking, he had quietly left a paper man in the corner.
"Okay!" Zhang Ji nodded seriously.
After Su Mo casually arranged some real qi in the room, he pinched the magic seal with his hands, completely concealing the aura on his body, and turned into a black shadow and rushed out of the window.
Beside Zhang Ji, there was Su Mo sitting quietly under the light, holding a book in his hand.
This was made by Su Mo with paper dolls!
Without any function, this is a paper man outside the system, the only advantage is that it looks like a real person.
He guessed right.
The monster's work and rest pattern is very similar to that of human beings, and when it is late at night, it will completely fall into a deep retreat.
Presumably it did not expect that there would be a fairy descendant coming to such a small place.
Naturally, the low courtyard wall couldn't stop Su Mo. He went straight to the edge of the well, his eyes flashing, and he looked down the well.
Below is murky well water, without any signs of human life.
Su Mo's body was like a feather, and he floated down slowly, stopping in the middle of the fall.
Sure enough, a passage was dug out about one meter above the water surface!
At the end of the passage was a narrow space, in which sat cross-legged a bony old man.
The Taoist robe on the old man was almost rotten, and the exposed wrist was as thin as a tree branch, as if it would break if touched lightly.
But what caught Su Mo's attention was a jade ruyi he was holding in both hands.
Yu Ruyi emitted a faint light, which contained aura.
Presumably it is this thin aura that can support such a mortal for two years without eating or drinking!
"Daoist Qing Xu?"
Su Mo called out.
The old man's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Su Mo, his expression was visibly dull. He obviously didn't expect that someone could actually find this place.
His lips trembled slightly, but in the end he just let out a long sigh.
Over the past two years, he has experienced hope, disappointment, and finally despair.
If there was a sliver of obsession in his heart to support him, I'm afraid he would have been unwilling to live in such a torment for a long time.
"You...you are..."
He didn't speak for a long time, which made his voice hoarse and extremely weak.
But with Su Mo's hearing ability, he could still hear very clearly, and he saluted, "Master Zixiao, the master of Maoshan, sit down, and the true disciple, Su Mo, has met senior!"
Tianxia Daomen is a family.
Although this Daoist Qingxu is only a mortal, he is indeed his elder in terms of seniority in Taoism.
As for Zhang Ji...he just wore a Taoist robe, but he was not considered a member of the Taoist sect.
"Maoshan..."
Qingxu's eyes lit up. Obviously, although he is a mortal, he has been in contact with the Taoist world and knows the name of Maoshan.
".¨The demons in the Qingyun Temple, the seniors must know about it?" Su Mo asked softly.
"Demon...demon..."
Qingxu's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he stuffed the jade in his arms into Su Mo's hand in a panic: "Go...take it, go quickly...go and inform Maoshan... .”
"With this jade ruyi...it...can't hurt you..."
As soon as Yu Ruyi got out of the palm, Qing Xu's breath of life suddenly declined, and he was afraid that he would die completely within half a stick of incense at most.
Su Mo hurriedly sent Yu Ruyi back to him, and at the same time slowly injected the spiritual energy into Yu Ruyi.
Sure enough, with the input of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy emitted by Yu Ruyi became more intense, which made Qingxu's state much better.
"you......"
He was just about to speak, but Su Mo interrupted him directly: "Let's get out of here first."
After speaking, he swung his right hand, and he held a delicate talisman pen in his hand.
The two hands squeezed quickly, and the real energy gathered at the fingertips, and finally poured into the talisman pen, so that the talisman pen shone in the dark.
"Bonus!"
"Ling (Zhao's good) Bao Tianzun, comfort the body. The soul of the disciple, the five internal organs and the dark. The green dragon and the white tiger, there are different battles. Suzaku Xuanwu, I am the guard. Urgent like a law!"
