Chapter 34: Evil Wind Rises on Niujiao Mountain Niujiao Mountain. There were dense forests between the mountains. Looking down, the vast fields have been sown and the crops are green. This place is still within Gaoliu Castle, located between Linjiangfang and Qingshanfang. On this side of the mountain, fertile land is cultivated and crops are grown, which is under the jurisdiction of Linjiangfang. Behind the mountain, the Outer South City Guard Office set up a horse farm, which houses hundreds of horses and is under the jurisdiction of Qingshanfang. Even though it is located in Gaoliu City, this remote area is equivalent to the mountains and wilderness. After nightfall, the people in the city dare not come here. But at this moment, there were two people sitting idly on the mountainside. An old man and a young man.
The old man has gray hair and is over 60 years old. He has a wine jug hanging around his waist. The young man's face was stiff and bloodless, like a dead body, and he held a knife in his hand. "What a great place! If it were located outside Gaoliu City, we would have been swallowed by a big monster if we were just sitting here... Of course, we could also have been destroyed by evil spirits." The old man took a sip of wine and said, "It's in the city. Although it's in the mountains, it's safe and worry-free." "Stop talking nonsense." The young man holding the knife said in a hoarse voice, "Together, we need to gather 20 'materials' before we can report back! When will you bring the last 'material'?" The old man held the wine jug in one hand and waved his other hand, casually responding: "Don't worry, he's just a teenager. Although he has killed pigs for a few days and has a bit of evil spirit, he can't escape the hands of our great-grandmother." "Before, the wandering soul in your hand could only confuse the sick and weak. Can you be sure of it now?" "Last night, there was chaos everywhere. I took the opportunity to obtain some newly dead souls and fed them to her. Today, I am not afraid of strong men with strong blood and butchers with evil spirits." "I heard that a man came to the temple tonight to burn incense. He is a disciple of the temple keeper. Aren't you afraid that your wandering soul will be destroyed by him?" "Today, the City Guard checked that dilapidated house, took the dead man away, and sealed it. The temple will not check it again." At this point, the old man put down the wine pot and said, "I hid my grandmother in that house, waiting for that kid to come home and possess him." The young man holding the knife looked solemn and said, "The chaos last night has continued until tonight. This is a rare opportunity and we must not miss it." "I understand. During this night, the boy named Lin Yan disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought that he was unlucky and was harmed by evil spirits." The old man smiled and said, "If after tonight, the storm is over and someone else goes missing in the city, the Wai Nan Yamen will investigate the case in detail. With the Jian Tian Si here, it will be difficult to fish in troubled waters." "Last night, the evil spirits attacked the city. In the east area of the outer city, those idiots wanted to take advantage of the chaos to collect 'materials', but they were already discovered by the chief flag bearer of the east area of the outer city of the Tianjian Division." The young man holding the knife said solemnly: "They have been silenced in advance. I don't want to be silenced because of you, an old man, who is not stable enough." "Don't worry, I have asked around, the flag bearer of Linjiang Division is new, he has just arrived and is confused, so he can't catch us." The old man felt helpless when he said this.
I only received the "list of materials" three days ago in the afternoon. He found the residence of "Lin Yan", who was ranked sixth, but discovered that he was not at home that night. At that time, I was in a hurry to collect other materials, so I put this material aside for the time being. On the eve of the incident, when they were about to take action, someone intervened. Last night, evil spirits attacked the city again. The Guantian Tower used all its strength and mobilized all the magic mirrors to monitor the entire city. I have no choice but to wait until tonight to fish in troubled waters. But this time, he thought it was a sure win. Just as I was thinking this, I saw an "evil wind" suddenly blowing in the darkness. The old man was shocked and said happily, "You're back." He opened the lid of the wine jug, put the "evil wind" into the jug, and took a glance inside. "Eh? Grandma, how come you've lost so much weight?" The old man's face was suddenly filled with distress, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the young man beside him speak in a cold voice. "Where are the materials?" "..." The old man was startled. He was a little confused, and quickly shouted into the wine pot: "Grandma, where are the materials? Why didn't you come back attached to them?" "Here it is." In the quiet night, on the mountain peak, a third voice was heard. The old man and the young man felt a sudden chill all over their bodies, and their faces became solemn in an instant. Then I saw where the voice came from, and saw a person walking slowly down the mountain. He was wearing a black robe with gold threads and had a tall and straight figure. The scabbard is hung on the left and the crossbow arrows are hung on the right. In his right hand he held a knife made of special material, slightly darker in color, three feet and three inches long. Linjiang Division, the new flag bearer, Wuchang! "Are you here to mess things up again?" The old man's face darkened. The pale and stiff-faced young man drew out the long knife in his hand with a solemn expression. "The outside world is speculating that the new flag bearer, Wu Chang, is at most at the second level of martial arts, and should still be refining blood. It is also possible that he is extremely talented and has reached the level of marrow cleansing." "But I defended the city alone last night, three hundred and sixty steps."
"Even with willow branches to light the night, as well as incense candles, incense ash and other aids, it is still not the second level of martial arts that can be defended." "You must be a person of inner strength. You are very young and have great abilities." "This kind of talent is something I have never seen before in my life. In the future, I will be able to break through the limits of the human body and reach the realm of refining essence!" "It's a pity that you think too highly of yourself and come here to die, ruining your bright future." While he was speaking, he had already stepped forward and took the initiative to greet Lin Yan, saying in a cold voice: "I'll take you on your way!" He also possessed inner strength, but he made mistakes in his "heart" and "kidney" areas, damaging his internal organs, causing him to look like this, as stiff as a corpse. But as he swallowed the pills, it was maintained. He has been cultivating his inner strength for six years. In his current realm, his combat power is not at the top, but it is considered to be in the middle. Facing the flag-bearing officer of Linjiang Division who had just reached the state of inner strength, he was quite confident. He came closer and suddenly quickened his pace. Gathering strength, he swung his sword fiercely and suddenly chopped it down! He asked himself, this knife can cut gold and jade, split stone tablets and cut iron like mud! "..." Lin Yan still had a cold expression. He swung the knife in his right hand. Blades clash! Sparks are flying! The pupils of the zombie-looking young man suddenly shrank, and he felt a huge force coming from the knife, which was unstoppable and could destroy everything in its path. In an instant, his palm broke and blood splattered. Then Lin Yan kicked him between the chest and abdomen. This confident and stiff young man felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, and then his whole body felt lighter. The whole person was kicked into the air and rolled three or five feet away. After one encounter, he was completely unable to fight back. "Old man, why don't you do anything?" The stiff young man got up from the ground, feeling his internal organs churning, and spitting out blood. He shouted in fear at the old man. In an instant, an evil wind suddenly arose on Niujiao Mountain. The howling of ghosts and wolves is terrifying. Twelve evil winds surrounded the top of the mountain. In an instant, the stars and the moon disappeared. The lights in the distance seemed to disappear and fall into darkness.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed that Lin Yan was the only one standing here alone. The darkness was vast and vague, and suddenly there was an endless feeling of loneliness and solitude that filled the air. In the darkness around me, like ink twisting, gradually formed one "gentle and kind" face after another, with a sincere and cordial smile. Beneath these smiling faces, tentacles extend one after another, densely packed and countless. All the tentacles came slowly towards Lin Yan from all directions, as if inviting him. But there was also a threat that he would be completely tied up and dragged into darkness. "Come... come... become our family, then you won't be alone like this." “We are stronger as one and we protect each other.” "us……" Poof! The sword flashed! The source of the sound suddenly stopped. "Noisy!" Lin Yan had no expression on his face and swept his sword across. All the tentacles around the body shattered and completely dissipated. He felt the growth of the evil spirit, frowned slightly, and said with emotion: "Too weak." (End of this chapter)
