Fengyunlu

Outside the Yaochi Mountain Gate, Master Kong Yang arrived just in time. Speaking of Master Kong Yang, we have to talk about another past event from that year.

About two hundred years ago, Feng Wanlin, the owner of Desert Wind Sand Castle, went out on business. Let’s not mention what he did for the time being. Let’s just say that he encountered a strange thing along the way.

At that time, the Jiazi War had just ended, and almost all the major sects of the good and evil factions were recuperating. Feng Wanlin, as a newly rising figure in northern Xinjiang, was naturally highly respected wherever he went.

On this day, Feng Wanlin passed by a mundane city. Thinking that he would not go to the world for a long time, he rushed to visit on a whim. It was a few days of relaxation. Feng Wanlin thought very well, but as soon as he arrived in the city, he found that The common people in this city have their houses closed and the streets are deserted, and even the officials on duty are as cautious as if they are facing a powerful enemy.

Feng Wanlin was very surprised and found nothing after asking. No one dared to tell the real reason. The officials were hesitant and unwilling to reveal it. Feng Wanlin was quite helpless. Finally, he revealed his identity and figured out the general matter.

It turns out that half a month ago, a strange thing happened in this city. In every home with children, whether they were ordinary people or powerful people, led by the people in the city, there were tragedies within ten miles. All the children disappeared overnight. The elders of the family almost died tragically, and everyone's blood was drained, and they were all mummified corpses at dawn.

The tragedy all over the city alarmed the government. After an investigation, it was determined that it was the work of evil spirits. However, such methods were horrifying and even more cruel. How could these ordinary officials make the decision, so they reported the matter to the Emperor Garden for knowledge. However, this remote place The city is too far away from the imperial capital, and it would take at least half a month for the messengers to come and go.

Probably someone from the Imperial Garden would come to make the decision in the next two days, but during this period, the people in the city were in panic, and the business travelers who came and went did not dare to stay. Therefore, when Feng Wanlin saw it, every house in the city was closed, and everyone was in a state of depression. When outsiders come, they feel timid.

Feng Wanlin understood clearly, and the officials in the city behind him were overjoyed, thinking that Feng Wanlin had been appointed by Emperor Yuan, and they all knew about this person's reputation. It can be said that the entire Xuanmen regarded him as a high-ranking person, and such a person came here. If you decide, this matter will be resolved.

The reporter hurriedly reported back, and the local officials welcomed him. Feng Wanlin wanted to take some time off, but he couldn't ignore the matter. In addition, this behavior was strange, so it must be done secretly by those who practice evil arts. It's just that such behavior is despised by the world and poisons innocent people. The common people were probably not high-ranking people. They probably learned about the evil arts secretly and practiced it secretly. Therefore, Feng Wanlin didn't pay too much attention to it and followed the officials to the government office.

Unexpectedly, this visit to the government office made him feel strange, and he felt more and more that this behavior might not be as simple as he imagined, and perhaps there was some shocking conspiracy hidden behind it.

It turned out that when Feng Wanlin came to the government office, he saw a half-grown girl. She was about ten years old, with a shriveled body, and her face could not be seen as it was. All she heard was that the girl was the one who survived the incident in the city. He survived because of an unknown incident that night.

Feng Wanlin felt strange and asked patiently. The girl was very frightened at the time and had been in the government office for the past half month. The government thought that she had survived and suffered a tragic fate, so they temporarily left her behind and thought about it. When the Emperor Gardeners came, they might as well provide some clues about the time.

Feng Wanlin used the requiem method to make the girl no longer fearful. After looking at Feng Wanlin for a long time, he cried in pain for a long time. When everything passed, Feng Wanlin used his supreme cultivation to heal the girl's injuries. At the same time, he listened patiently to her story.

That night, she was like other children. Her parents had returned from work. The family had dinner and went to bed early, but they could sleep until midnight. She could only hear the creaking between the doors. The sound was not loud, but could be heard carefully, and it was accompanied from time to time. The sound of howling ghosts and wolves was also very weak, but could be clearly heard. The girl woke up suddenly, turned around and turned on the light. Her parents and her only brother were all sleeping soundly.

I thought that the wind was blowing, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. Then something strange happened. The girl's parents and younger brother fell into a dead sleep as if their souls had been taken away. No matter how the girl called, they would not wake up. At that time, She was getting more and more afraid, and she didn't know what she was afraid of. In short, she had a feeling that everything that night was different from usual.

She became even louder, and finally even stepped forward to shake her, but her parents and younger brother seemed to be dead, not that they were still breathing. The girl thought that her family was extinct, but this reaction was really wrong. But at such a young age, she didn't know what to do, so she thought about going to the neighbors. Home for help.

And then something strange happened. She ran to two houses in a row, but no one responded. When she returned home, her parents were already awake. But the strange thing was that her brother was missing and saw the girl return. There was no surprise at all. His brother's disappearance was not unexpected at all, as if he had not noticed it, and as if it should have happened.

The girl tried to call her mother, but the response was that her eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty ghost, staring at the girl and gradually raising her hand. The girl was frightened, and instinctively retreated. After retreating, she fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he saw figures floating away in the dark night in his peripheral vision.

The numerous figures were all children. They seemed to be summoned by something while they were sleeping, and as if they were being held up by something. The invisible force lifted the many children out of the city, and among them was the figure of her brother.

The girl was filled with fear, and a frightened scream resounded around her, but in the end she did not respond. She just watched helplessly as a dark mist with a little red light fell in the courtyard. There seemed to be someone in the black mist, and a subtle cry Surprise came to the girl.

There seemed to be someone vaguely reaching for her, but before he could touch her, a necklace hanging around the girl's neck suddenly erupted, and a bright light symbolizing the authentic Taoism suddenly appeared. The black energy was not on guard, and she was immediately struck by this clear light. Yelling, the girl's eyes were frightened, and she lowered her head to look at the necklace on her chest. It was her father who went to Canghai in his early years and was begged by Yu Qingli Palace.

It turns out that the girl's father was also a Taoist. When he was young, he yearned for Taoism and wanted to be a Taoist teacher. However, his aptitude was too ordinary. When he was young, he went to Canghai three times and wanted to become a Taoist teacher. He was rejected, but thinking of his own persistence, Qingyang Zhenren, the master of Fulumen who happened to check the qualifications of his disciples at that time, gave him a spiritual talisman, which he said could save his life in times of crisis.

The girl's father failed three times and was disheartened, so he returned to his hometown with the spiritual talisman of Qingyang Master. After that, he married a wife and had children to reproduce. However, although the girl's father was not destined for the Dharma, he was still a man of Taoism after all. Through studying, I have gained more knowledge than others. Although I have no Taoist teachings, I have achieved some success in practicing and refining my mind. I am regarded as a teacher in the neighborhood and I often ask for help. In this way, my life can be considered comfortable. .

That year when a girl was born, her father's love was as strong as a mountain and he wanted to see the fate of his beloved daughter. However, this calculation was said to be a catastrophe, and I don't know if he was right or wrong. However, the spiritual talisman given by Master Qingyang was transferred to her. He loved his daughter, and later he got his beloved son. The eldest daughter was filial and the younger son loved her, so the family was very satisfied.

He didn't want this to happen when the girl was eleven years old, and when the spiritual talisman was illuminated, its clear light hurt the person hidden in the black energy, which naturally made him angry. The scarlet light suddenly struck, competing with the clear light of the spiritual talisman. After a moment, the clear light that burst out from the spiritual talisman gradually became fainter. Although Master Qingyang took it out personally, it was only a spiritual talisman. Without Master Qingyang himself to activate it, he could only rely on instinct to resist the evil spirits, which was naturally a bit stretched.

In an instant, red light penetrated her body, and the girl felt as if her whole body was burning with fire, and every part of her body was in extreme pain. Her instinct to survive made her run away desperately. When she ran out of the house, the talisman finally broke. It was at this moment that , the last clear light in the spiritual talisman suddenly struck, turning into a wisp of cold light that penetrated into the black air.

There was a muffled groan in the black air, as if the person in the dark was seriously injured, and then he cursed secretly, and the black air spun on the spot, wrapping the unknown person in it and floating out of the city. The speed was extremely fast, and when the girl was about to When she was unconscious, she disappeared. The girl knew she was saved, but the pain on her body and the fear in her heart could no longer support her weak body, and the girl fainted.

When I woke up, it was already a scorching sun. Three days later, at noon, surrounded by a group of officials, there was an old man who looked like a doctor, shaking his head and sighing, saying that the child might not have much time left. The girl looked down and saw that she didn't seem to have anything. His blood was extremely dry and withered, and he looked like he was about to die. Recalling the situation at that time, the fear in his heart struck again, but he could always think about his parents and his younger brother who was flying outside the city.

But it was difficult to speak, and after a little questioning, it turned out that all the children in the whole city were murdered. Except for themselves, no one could be spared. As for the missing children, whether they were three or two months old or had yellow mouth and white teeth, other I don’t know whether I am alive or dead, nor my whereabouts.

The girl accepted everything in a daze, but how much could she bear at such a young age? She finally passed out again. When she woke up for the second time, it seemed that the girl's heart was unwilling to accept the reality, or she was too frightened. In short, in the past half month, except for Apart from a small amount of food and drink, most of the time his eyes were full of fear, his mouth was stupid, and he was mumbling and repeating some words that he couldn't understand or understand.

After Feng Wanlin heard everything, the girl's vitality disappeared and she was probably cured. Although she could not return to her original state, her blood was full and she looked just weak. She would be fully recovered in two or three days. Feng Wanlin carefully removed her. He was helped back to the bed to rest, probably recalling the experience described by the girl, and making some vague guesses.

This matter seems to be caused by evil spirits. Most people's first reaction will be to suspect people of evil ways, especially some sects that practice ghost and evil arts. Among them, the ghosts are naturally headed by the Ghost King, one of the seven kings of the Han Sect. After the Battle of Jiazi, the Han family was defeated and torn apart. The ghost king also retreated to Fuling Mountain, founding mountains and teaching disciples without competing with outsiders.

But the Ghost King’s identity, not to mention his own skills, but his cultivation, could survive the Battle of Jiazi. How could such a deed be done? Even though he was in two realms, Feng Wanlin never looked down upon him. In Feng Wanlin's impression, everyone from a poor family, especially a top master from a poor family, would not know how to do it, nor would they bother to do it, let alone do such an act, so Feng Wanlin decided to do this. exclude.

But they are not remnants of poor families. There should be others practicing evil arts in the evil way. But sucking people's blood and taking away children, Feng Wanlin thought about it. Every family in the evil way has no practice related to this matter, unless someone Secretly refining some vicious evil weapons, but it is difficult to pursue this matter. The world is so big and there are no evil sects near this remote city. If you want to refine evil weapons, it is unrealistic to seek far away from the near, so Feng Wanlin will take the lead. Pointed to the side.

But except for a Buddhist temple near this city, there is no other sect involved, and there are no real Buddhists in the Buddhist temple. It is just built by some mortal believers and ascetics, and some wealthy families. In order to fulfill his wish, he gave up a lot of property to be plated with gold and silver, and this was how the incense continued.

Then Feng Wanlin learned from Guan Cha that a wise eminent monk had recently come to the temple. Strangely enough, the eminent monk showed no signs of behavior after he arrived. He was just a little enlightened at first, and later said that he had a sudden enlightenment. Then he retreated in the temple, and Feng Wanlin's thoughts moved. The so-called temple was only about seven or eight miles away from the city. It was located on the mountainside. Because, there is no sign of Buddhist practice.

However, in a deserted secret room between the inner courtyards, there was a young Buddhist disciple meditating with his eyes closed. Feng Wanlin sensed it a little and realized that this Buddhist disciple was probably only at the Xuan level, and it was his first glimpse. Menting, this retreat must be a breakthrough.

Feng Wanlin did not bother him, because there were many branches of the Buddhist sect in Xumi Palace, and even the 81st traveling Venerable Fang preached everywhere, so-called enlightenment and recruiting disciples. The cultivation level of these Buddhist disciples was not high, and Not being on Mount Sumeru himself, Feng Wanlin understood that this person was probably just a teaching from a wandering venerable, and he had some insights, so he made a breakthrough here.

But just as Feng Wanlin was about to withdraw his spiritual thoughts, something strange appeared in his eyes. The Buddhist disciple seemed to be extremely nervous just now. His whole body was tense for a moment, and he was not in the middle of a breakthrough. There was no qi pulling him, which showed that he was afraid. What, or sense something.

Could it be that this monk, who was no more than a Xuan-level monk, could actually sense the spiritual probe just now? Feng Wanlin's thoughts flashed across his mind. This matter was unrealistic. Not to mention how outstanding Feng Wanlin was, even if the monk was at this moment. On the holy steps, Feng Wanlin might not be aware of it even if he scans it with his spiritual thoughts, unless there are others around the monk, or he has some treasures on his body, or he has hidden aura, or he has the ability to sense. In any case, Feng Wanlin Now that he understood the key, the monk noticed it.

However, Feng Wanlin was not alarmed, as if he had never known about this matter. He was extremely calm in his spiritual thoughts and just checked normally, so that the monk did not doubt it. After that, Feng Wanlin withdrew his spiritual thoughts and took out a hand with shaking hands. The object was a treasure given by his father-in-law, Cangyun Emperor Bai Ganyi.
