Chapter 99 Before Dawn "Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion?" Liu Yuwei was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why, as it was obviously a very attractive name. But when it came out of Taoist Xuanying's mouth, she felt a chill. It's like seeing a centipede lying on your arm, it's creepy. "What are you talking about?" The butler looked over blankly and asked subconsciously. Chen Qingning was stunned and asked, "Can't you see it?" "what?" The butler was even more stunned. Chen Qingning simply pointed at the arms of the two corpses, but the housekeeper still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If the coroner sees something so strange, there is no way he won't report it."
"In other words..." As the housekeeper spoke, he looked at Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning. His meaning was very simple, whether it was only those who practiced Buddhism who could see it. "Is that so?" Chen Qingning couldn't help but look at the Liu sisters. These two can also see it. It wasn't surprising that Liu Yuwei could see it. After all, she was pregnant now, so it was inevitable that she would be contaminated with some pure and immortal energy. But Liu Yunxiu... Chen Qingning couldn't help but think of the fortune-telling scene he saw yesterday. Who is this girl? Putting this aside for the moment, Chen Qingning looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "Do you know the origin of this so-called Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion?" "know a little." Jiang Lin nodded and sneered, "I thought these ghosts were scared, but I didn't expect that they were waiting for me here." Hearing this, Chen Qingning and the Liu sisters could roughly guess what was going on. Chen Qingning asked: "Then, what are you going to do?" "Since it involves evil spirits, we can't just ignore it." Jiang Lin glanced at Liu Yuwei, and Chen Qingning asked uneasily: "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to... split up?" She was afraid that Jiang Lin was thinking the same way. There might be more evil spirits along the way. If they were on the same scale as last time, she would not be able to handle it alone. Her death was a minor matter, but if something went wrong with the real fetus, then... "Need not." Jiang Lin shook his head and looked at Chen Qingning. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then blinked imperceptibly.
Chen Qingning looked thoughtful and moved closer to Jiang Lin. But Jiang Lin seemed unaware of anything and was still thinking about Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion. Since Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion has appeared, and its appearance is a warning or a challenge. Then, Jiang Lin couldn't just turn a blind eye. But the matter of the real fetus is obviously more important. and…… "The other party is probably coming for Mr. Liu." Jiang Lin said in a deep voice. Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion was obviously cowardly when facing him. After all, he had clicked on the opponent's respawn point and seriously violated the opponent's rules, but he was unharmed. But now it suddenly appears. Obviously, the temptation of the symmetry of some things in Xin Ruyi Pavilion outweighs the fear of Jiang Lin. So, what exactly is this thing? The answer is obvious. Liu Yuwei was stunned when she heard this, then pursed her lips and said, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?" She thought Jiang Lin wanted to use her as bait to lure out the evil spirit in the dark that might have formed an organization. "The layman has misunderstood." Jiang Lin shook his head and motioned for everyone to talk while walking. "The safety of the layman is the most important thing at the moment. I can't take risks with the layman." Jiang Lin whispered, "Just keep everything normal, and the evil spirit will show up on its own." Since Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion’s target is most likely Liu Yuwei, all we need to do is follow the steps. Sooner or later, the other party will not be able to help but show up. "Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Liu Yuwei nodded without hesitation. She learned from Chen Qingning that Jiang Lin could be absolutely trusted and that he was her greatest protector. Since Taoist Master Jiang has a plan, she will definitely not cause trouble. Otherwise, you're just being hard on yourself. Everyone left the post station while talking. The postmen and constables did not dare to stop them and just watched Jiang Lin and the others leave. However, at this moment, one of the postmen lowered his head, and a red light flashed in his eyes. "Zhenwu's command!"
At this moment, accompanied by a cold voice, the vermilion Zhenwu sword fell from the sky, and the magnificent righteous Qi fell straight down. Before anyone could react, the postman had been chopped in half! But the strange thing is that although it was clearly a living person, after being cut in half, it withered very quickly. Not only did no blood flow out, but it turned into streams of sticky and strange black liquid. This strange and horrifying scene left everyone present dumbfounded. Chen Qingning put away his magic sword, sneered, and said, "As expected by Brother Jiang Daoist, it is a method of borrowing corpses to transfer souls. It is quite good and well hidden." The so-called transfer of souls through a corpse is a more bizarre method than the resurrection of the soul through a corpse. Using the physical body as a springboard, a normal mortal soul may be replaced by an evil spirit the next moment. Moreover, there is no gap, because of the mortal soul, it is full of spirituality, so as long as the evil spirit does not occupy the place for a long time, under the cover of spirituality, there will be no evil fluctuations, and it is extremely secretive. But in the end, the truth was revealed. In other words, this method was originally recorded in the black law. Just now, Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning looked at each other, and the subsequent covert actions were all secret communication. A simple illusion technique and an invisibility technique. Jiang Lin created an illusion of Chen Qingning, while the real Chen Qingning hid in the post station and did not leave with the main force. "Listen up, evil spirits of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion." The Zhenwu sword in Chen Qingning's hand glowed red, and he said in a cold voice: "If you want to follow us, I will kill you if I see you." "Under the Black Law, with Zhenwu in front of you, there is no chance of survival!" After saying that, Chen Qingning turned around and left the post station without even looking back. She was almost certain that the evil spirits from Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion were still lurking here. And Chen Qingning had no intention of finding out. Since the other party had provoked him by killing two people, Chen Qingning would kill the chicken to scare the monkey! No mortal present dared to speak, they just stared blankly at Chen Qingning leaving. I don’t know how long the silence in the post station lasted. About a quarter of an hour passed before someone spoke. "Ha ha ha ha ha……" However, what came out was a strange and hoarse sneer. The grooms, servants, and even the chief officer of the post station all looked up, and there was a sad and strange red light in everyone's eyes! There is more than one person who uses another person's soul to move around! There were seven or eight people present who were replaced by the evil spirit in an instant! "kill……" "Leave no one behind!" The hands of the chief officer of the post station suddenly turned into bloody ghost claws. He opened his mouth wide, with protruding canine teeth and dark and sticky blood oozing from his gums. These are all the evil spirits of Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion! It was obvious that they were determined to fight Jiang Lin and the others to the end.
If you want to kill chickens to feed dogs, then we will slaughter all the living people in this post station! "Roar!" The eight evil spirits roared and snarled at the same time, ready to start a killing spree the next moment. However, at this moment... "Shenxiao, Five Thunder Method..." “Zilalala!!!” The dull crackling sound of thunder suddenly rang out! "boom!" The white-incandescent lightning exploded the next moment, transforming into eight twisted lightning snakes, each of which seemed to have life, entangled with an evil spirit! The next moment, thunder flashed. The Thunder came quickly and went away quickly. By the time the thunder dissipated, the eight evil spirits had turned into meaningless charcoal. A young Taoist priest in a pitch-black cloak stood on the roof of the inn at some point, with faint lightning flashing on his palms. The eyes were pure black, with a hint of scarlet lightning in them. Jiang Lin knew exactly what the evil spirit would do without even having to think about it. Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion wanted to use two lives to provoke Jiang Lin, and by the way, try to get Jiang Lin away from Liu Yuwei. Jiang Lin used Chen Qingning as an example to scare the monkeys. He hid in the dark, waiting for the evil spirits in Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion to take action. Because Jiang Lin knew very well that evil spirits would not be fooled by the tactic of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. They would only become more aggressive. So, the evil spirit thought that Jiang Lin was on the third floor, but in fact Jiang Lin directly overturned the table. Are you kidding me? How can a thousand-layer cake be as direct and decisive as a chess master who has transformed into a big man? The method of transferring souls through corpses is not so easy to do. The nine evil spirits killed by Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning together are definitely all the evil spirits here. The Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion boasted about its wealth and power, but Jiang Lin knew very well that it was just a makeshift troupe with a good appearance. Taking out nine bodies that could possess other corpses and transfer souls at once was a huge loss for the Symmetrical Ruyi Pavilion. ………… After finishing the matter at the post station, Jiang Lin caught up with the caravan that had already set off. "Fellow Daoist Jiang." Chen Qingning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Lin coming back. What she was most worried about was that Jiang Lin's plan would be discovered, or that Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion was already at a higher level and was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. So during the time when Jiang Lin was away, she never let go of the Zhenwu Sword. "The post station is now clear." Jiang Lin nodded and asked, "How many days is it to reach Qiyun Mountain?"
"If we hurry, it will take about two and a half days." Chen Qingning thought about it and answered like this, and said worriedly: "But if this happens, we will have to travel at night." "Then let's go at night." Jiang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any evil spirits appearing in the next two days." "What do fellow Taoists mean?" When Chen Qingning heard this, she was not happy but worried. She was not a fool and naturally knew what Jiang Lin wanted to express. After the recent wave of cleanup, Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion will also choose to wait and see. In other words, they will choose to fight to the last hurdle, after all, a cornered dog will do something desperate. Two days is enough time for Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion to gather the evil spirits under its command, and it is also their last chance. "These two days, you just need to cultivate your spirit." Jiang Lin's eyes were bright, and he said softly: "Everything will be clear in two days." "Ah." Chen Qingning nodded, suddenly raised his hand, and handed the Zhenwu sword in his hand to Jiang Lin. "Fellow Daoist, you are more suitable to wield this sword than I am." Chen Qingning seemed to have made up his mind long ago, and said with a smile: "I also understand the principle that it is better to clench a fist than to spread out ten fingers." Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but then he didn't act pretentiously, raised his hand to take it, and said: "In this case, I will borrow it for two days." "Ah." Chen Qingning nodded and returned to the carriage. Although Jiang Lin promised that nothing would happen in the next two days, what needed to be done still had to be done. During the rest of the journey, Jiang Lin and the Liu sisters did not have much communication. But after traveling all night, Chen Qingning became more worried after the first night. "I didn't encounter a single evil spirit last night." It was still a day and a half's journey to Mount Qiyun. In the morning, Chen Qingning mechanically ate a pancake and said to Jiang Lin beside him. “Isn’t it a good thing that there are no evil spirits?” Jiang Lin said with a smile. "Don't joke, fellow Taoist." Chen Qingning said: "It would be fine if Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion didn't show up, but there isn't a single ordinary evil spirit." "This is simply..."
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation! "Not abnormal, not abnormal at all." Jiang Lin finished the pancake in his hand in two or three bites and said softly: "When attacking a city, the slaves are always the first to go into battle..." Hearing this, Chen Qingning sighed and confirmed his guess. Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion is not only gathering the evil spirits under its command, but also gathering the ordinary evil spirits that are attracted by the true fetus's energy. This is not good news for everyone. Chen Qingning was thinking in his mind, and suddenly noticed the Zhenwu sword behind Jiang Lin. She didn’t know if it was her illusion or something, but she always felt that this magic sword seemed... much dimmer? Originally, its aura was restrained, but at this moment it looked like an ordinary wooden sword, without any bright spots. “A little trick.” Jiang Lin noticed Chen Qingning's eyes and said with a smile: "Use the method of hiding the edge of thunder." Chen Qingning nodded upon hearing this but did not ask any further questions, because if Jiang Lin could tell it, he would definitely not hide it. Since it was only mentioned briefly, it proves that this is the unique method practiced by Jiang Lin's lineage and cannot be passed on to others. She is very clear about this rule. After finishing breakfast, or using the morning time to prepare meals for the entire day, the convoy began its non-stop journey again. It didn't stop until nightfall. Fortunately, the official road is wide, so there is no need to worry about any obstacles when traveling at night. However, after nightfall, Jiang Lin changed his location and appeared in the carriage of Chen Qingning and the Liu sisters. At this time, there is no need to care about the differences between men and women. Late at night, Chen Qingning sat upright, closing his eyes from time to time to sense. Liu Yuwei looked a little haggard, as pregnant women are not suitable for long-distance travel. If it weren't for the miracle of the real fetus, after all the bumpy journey, I'm afraid the woman might have had a miscarriage. At this moment, Liu Yuwei looked worried, with one hand placed on her lower abdomen. Liu Yunxiu, on the other hand, was holding her sister's arm, her little head blinking drowsily. This girl was very careless and seemed unaware of the impending storm in the carriage. "After daybreak, we will reach Qiyun Mountain in another three or four hours." Chen Qingning estimated the distance and whispered to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin nodded slightly and said nothing. He is waiting.
It is now late at night and dawn is coming soon. And before dawn, there is the darkest time... (End of this chapter)
