Pei Tu Gou
Chapter 326 Where Did This Unorthodox Chan Come From?
The night wind blew, and a shadow flowed down, enveloping the entire Xiao Zhang Village.
"Mom, Mom..."
Li Lan, who was fast asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
Beside her, her daughter was constantly tugging at her hair.
She was about to scold her when she suddenly realized something was wrong. The shadows of the trees outside the window were swaying, but she couldn't hear any sound.
"Mom, outside, there's someone outside..."
The little girl trembled and hid in her mother's arms, pointing at the half-open window.
"Nonsense, if someone comes, the dog will bark!"
The woman scolded her daughter, put on her clothes, and got up to close the window.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew the window open.
The woman looked out and saw a white figure slowly walking towards the depths of the village on the street outside the fence.
The shadow passed, and the moonlight flowed down, illuminating the white figure.
But it was not a human figure at all, but a skeleton!
As she looked, the skeleton also looked at her, grinning hideously, and two points of green fire lit up in its dark eye sockets.
It made a silent and mocking laugh.
"Ah!"
A sharp scream pierced the night sky!
But soon, the scream disappeared, and the huge village returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.
........
Cultivation is not like walking, but like digging a canal. When the realm is reached, other improvements will naturally follow.
In just three days, the many livestock that Sa Wuling had sent had been eaten up by one man and one dog, leaving only some internal organs hanging in the Yizhuang (Funeral Home) to be smoked, causing everyone who came to deliver coffins to turn pale and vomit repeatedly.
If Sa Wuling hadn't had a high reputation, some people would have couldn't help but speak out.
In the courtyard of the Yizhuang, An Qisheng sat cross-legged facing the moon, with streams of Qi swirling around him, and the muscles and bones all over his body wriggling as if they had come to life.
Sa Wuling looked tired and his expression was unsightly.
At the entrance of the Yizhuang, thirteen coffins were neatly placed. Counting the previous three, nearly twenty people had died in just three or four days!
This made him restless.
He looked at An Qisheng in the courtyard, sitting in meditation facing the moon, his aura becoming more and more unfathomable, and was about to speak.
A yellow shadow flashed past his feet, and a low growl entered his ears.
The yellow dog, who had gained a lot of weight, 'woo woo' bit his trouser leg.
"You..."
Sa Wuling's face stiffened, and he could only stop.
In these three days, the yellow dog had also undergone tremendous changes.
At this time, its low growl sounded more threatening to him than the roar of a beast.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the Qi flowed back.
In the courtyard, An Qisheng slowly opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the night.
Streaks of Qi that ordinary people could not see flashed in his eyes, and finally settled:
"Found you!"
An Qisheng was walking the path of the unity of heaven, earth, and man. The heart is heaven, Qi is earth, and the body is man. To interfere, all three are indispensable.
His mind was powerful, but without Qi seeds, and his body was not strong enough, he would not be able to display various abilities.
The mind still needs the support of the body, at least for him at this time.
After three days of tempering, although his body was still unsatisfactory to him, it was enough to support him to use certain abilities.
For example, Thousand Mile Soul Lock!
Sa Wuling only felt the night brighten for a moment, as if a lightning bolt suddenly flashed across, and an invisible pressure pressed on his heart like a mountain.
He almost knelt on the ground.
His heart couldn't help but be horrified.
Ding~
Then, amidst the sound of gold and jade colliding, An Qisheng stood up.
He glanced at Sa Wuling:
"Let's go!"
"Go, where to?"
Sa Wuling was slightly taken aback, and then realized: "Senior, have you already found the place where the White Bone Demon is?"
An Qisheng did not answer, but swept over the ten or so coffins inside and outside the courtyard, picked up a firewood knife, and stepped out of the Yizhuang.
Outside the Yizhuang, the night was dark, and the ten-mile-long burial ground was filled with gusts of wind. Dust was mixed with the occasional crowing, making it particularly desolate.
The night is dark, and the wind is high...
Whoosh~
Before Sa Wuling could react, the yellow dog had already followed with its tail wagging.
"Senior! Wait for me!"
Sa Wuling exclaimed, stepped out of the Yizhuang gate, but found that the man and the dog seemed to have walked a mile or two, and their speed was so fast that they had no intention of waiting for him.
"Hi!"
He stomped his foot angrily, took out two yellow papers cut into the shape of horses from his arms, tied them to his legs, took out a bell and shook it, while muttering:
"One step is a hundred steps, and the ground shrinks by itself. When encountering a mountain, the mountain flattens, and when encountering water, the water dries up. I respectfully obey the orders of the Three Mountains and Nine Peaks!"
Buzz~
The bell and the spell dissipated together.
Sa Wuling took a step, which was three or five zhang, his legs glowing red, and wind was blowing under his feet. He chased after him at ten times the speed of usual.
"This kind of magic has some peculiarities."
Listening to the whistling wind behind him, An Qisheng glanced sideways.
He had entered this old Taoist's dream, so he naturally knew how his armor horse technique was performed.
This is not his power, but the power borrowed by using the talisman as a guide and the spell as a key.
However, this armor horse technique is quite convenient. Once cast, even a mortal can take three or five zhang in one step and travel thousands of miles a day, which is a power that mortals cannot imagine.
"Sen, Senior!"
Sa Wuling stopped and realized that he had actually come outside Xiao Zhang Village.
His heart immediately 'thumped'.
"Keep quiet."
An Qisheng glanced at him and looked at Xiao Zhang Village not far away.
This Xiao Zhang Village is the largest village nearby, with nearly two hundred households. The village is not small, surrounded by iron fences two or three zhang high, so even wolves and beasts cannot easily enter.
In addition, there are people taking turns to guard the night, making it the safest place in the nearby villages.
Of course, that was only before.
At this time, the entire Xiao Zhang Village was empty and silent in the shadows. Only the wind wailed, like a ghost village.
"Senior!"
Sa Wuling breathed rapidly.
Although he is a Taoist, his family is from Xiao Zhang Village. He has no descendants, but many of the younger generation in Xiao Zhang Village call him uncle or grandpa.
Although judging from the pattern of this monster's crimes, he needs four lives every day, Xiao Zhang Village has a population of nearly a thousand, and his White Bone Demon cannot swallow so many souls, but he has to worry.
"Quite the grand gesture."
After sensing for a moment, An Qisheng snorted coldly, picked up the firewood knife, and walked towards the village.
The yellow dog's fur stood on end, very nervous, but it still growled softly and followed.
Sa Wuling held the bell tightly in one hand, and took out a handful of talismans he had accumulated for more than ten years from his arms, carefully following behind him.
The village gate of Xiao Zhang Village was half-covered, and the person on duty was nowhere to be seen. There were many footprints on the slightly muddy ground, but there were no signs of fighting.
"That is!"
Suddenly, Sa Wuling's body shook, and he saw two dazed couples, as if they had lost their souls, walking out of a house in the distance.
Hearing his exclamation, the two couples seemed unaware and walked step by step mechanically towards the depths of the village.
An Qisheng raised his eyebrows slightly. In the distance, people seemed to be walking out of houses.
Each of them walked towards the depths of the village as if sleepwalking.
Dozens or hundreds of people were orderly, without a trace of noise, accompanied by the whistling night wind, which was indescribably strange.
........
Outside the ancestral hall in the center of Xiao Zhang Village is the largest open space in Xiao Zhang Village.
In the past, few people came to the ancestral hall, only during worship.
But at this time, there were many people in front of the ancestral hall, I don't know if there were dozens or hundreds of people.
These people were dazed, as if they had lost their minds, and swayed foolishly in front of the ancestral hall.
Directly in front of the ancestral hall, a black-clothed Taoist with a feather crown and a broad belt, thin, with a cold and gloomy complexion, sat cross-legged. Behind him, two tall and burly men with wooden faces stood on the left and right.
Above his head, several incorporeal, twisted shadows that seemed not to be in this world swam like fish, emitting bursts of Yin chill.
In front of him was an incense burner the size of a fist.
At this time, wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner. The smoke was as black as ink, darker than the night, and floated in the air, like small snakes, spreading around.
It seemed that it was this smoke that attracted these people.
Gagaga~
The sound of bones rubbing kept ringing.
A skeleton carved from jade sat in front of the crowd.
The villagers who had lost their minds circled around the skeleton as if sleepwalking, and from time to time one of them would reach out and let the skeleton bite them.
Then, on the skeleton's white jade-like skeleton, a trace of scarlet lines like spider webs appeared.
Then disappeared again.
The villager whose arm was bitten turned pale and staggered to the side.
Another villager then stretched out his arm again.
Again and again, one after another...
It was using the blood of thousands of people to support this skeleton!
"If it weren't for the Heavenly Will Sect, why would I waste my Soul Confusion Incense..."
The black-clothed Taoist slowly opened his eyes, looked at the drifting black smoke, his face twitched, and he felt very distressed.
His Soul Confusion Incense was hard-won, and how could he not feel sorry for wasting it on this group of mortals?
You must know that with his methods, there is no need for Soul Confusion Incense. These mortals are just fish on his chopping block, and he can kill them if he wants to. Moreover, if he swallows the flesh and blood of these thousands of people, his White Bone Demon will achieve a small success and grow flesh and blood.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare.
These villagers are all believers of the Heavenly Will Sect, not ant-men he raised.
The Heavenly Will Sect wouldn't care if thirty or fifty died, but if he killed village after village, he would be hunted down immediately.
"Huh? Someone is coming? Is it the wild Taoist who is stationed in the village by the Heavenly Will Sect?"
Suddenly, his eyes moved.
Woo woo~~
As his thoughts moved, the little ghost hovering above his head let out a scream and窜ed into the night.
The two puppets behind him, refined from Jianghu (Martial World) experts, also opened their eyes at the same time, grasped the knives and swords hanging on their waists, and exuded an aura that strangers should not approach.
Ah~~~
Just as the black-clothed Taoist was guessing, he suddenly heard a shrill ghost cry, his body shook violently, he groaned and his face turned pale, and he shouted in pain:
"Where did the wild Chan come from, dare to break this Taoist priest's little ghost?!"
