There are many ghosts on the road of alms

Not long after the sixth day left, the first snow fell, and N city was under the white snow, and slowly fell silent, no one happened, and no happy event happened.

Zhixian kept his ears to the outside world and devoted himself to studying the ancient books of formations in the temple. Finally, with the joint efforts of all the disciples, he restored the formations in Luoyan Mountain, restored the tranquility of Puchen Temple, and began to suffer as before. Xiu, no longer care about the disturbances in the world.

Neither Renxiu nor Ghost Xiu dared to think about Puchen Temple. After all, the sixth day disappeared, which made people worry about whether there would be a big move, so they all reduced their wandering in the world by coincidence.

The casual cultivators are all practicing in closed doors, imagining that one day they can fill the vacancy of the other two great families, in order to glorify the lintel.The ghost cultivator was red-eyed and forced himself to improve his cultivation, for fear that one day he would bump into a casual cultivator when he went out and be wiped out. In such a strange balance, time passed by little by little.

"Why is N City so quiet recently? What is the family doing?" Ling Ji sat in front of the window, drinking sake and looking at the snow scene outside the window.

The old ghost stood beside Lingji, holding a jug in his hand, and replied: "The young master of the Zuo family is practicing in Shennongjia. The old man Zuo has nothing to do. He brought half of the disciples of the Zuo family to camp next to Wu Village. Demon cultivators sparring. On the other hand, in the Liu family, because Patriarch Liu's younger sister Liu Xin has gained a foothold in City M, Patriarch Liu also sent half of the Liu family's children to City M, saying that it was to promote exchanges among younger generations."

"Heh, the excuses of the two families are good, but in fact they want to set up branches outside." Ling Ji put the empty wine glass on the table and signaled the old ghost to pour the wine.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this subordinate. There are two great families taking the lead, and other forces have more or less reduced the number of people in City N, which saves you a lot of trouble." The old ghost said, pouring the wine respectfully to the wine glass.

Not wanting to, Ling Ji moved the cup away when the drink was poured down.The old ghost was puzzled, and looked up at Lingji, only to find that Lingji had a playful expression on his face.

"Is there something wrong?" The old ghost held the jug straight and took a step back.

"What are you running for?" Lingji released Yin Qi, blocking all the directions that the old ghost could leave, and looked at the old ghost strangely: "You just claimed to be a subordinate, didn't you disapprove of me as the ghost king? Why did you use modesty?" say?"

"You are the king of ghosts. I have no problem calling myself a subordinate." The old ghost looked directly at Lingji and said frankly.

Lingji and the old ghost looked at each other for a long while, and found that the man's eyes were not even half-evaded, and put the cup in his hand on the table again.

"You are really boring, leave Yizhuang after pouring this glass of wine."

The old ghost paused when he heard the words, "Is there any task for the subordinates to do?"

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, Ling Ji said, "Go and escort Wang Yan from Shennongjia to Puchen Temple, and come back with Wang Yan after the matter of Puchen Temple is settled." Chu Liu had no time to deal with Wang Yan before leaving. Regarding Yan's matter, if it wasn't for the letter from Puchen Temple that the saying instrument was ready, waiting for Wang Yan's blood consecration, Lingji might have forgotten all about it.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." The old ghost said no nonsense, put the jug on the table, and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute." Lingji called the old ghost, and threw the ghost hook to him: "Hold the weapon, I don't want to see you until the mission is finished. Wherever you like to go, I'd better find a way to take you away." Make up for your cultivation, otherwise you will be assigned to guard the temple in Luoyan Mountain."

The old ghost caught the ghost hook, looked at Lingji's vicious look, curled the corners of his mouth, and said "yes".

Looking at the old ghost, Lingji got upset, and waved her hands in annoyance.

However, after the old ghost really left, Lingji was just as disturbed, and went directly to the courtyard with the jug in hand to "muscle the muscles" for the ghost generals.

Not long after, I heard a wailing sound coming from the Yizhuang. The people passing by the Yizhuang were eager to grow a pair of scuds and leave this ghostly place of Yizhuang as soon as possible.

Ling Ji was annoyed by seeing everyone, so she waved her hand to tell the injured ghost generals to go back to recuperate, leaving her alone looking up at the sky and talking to herself.

"Leaving alone, it seems like the whole N city is empty. It's too boring. I'd better come back earlier." Lingji reached out to catch the snowflake, watching it gradually melt in her hand.

And such a scene also happened to Bai Xiao and Yaohuang. They toasted to Yue, as if they were looking forward to the return of Chu Liu.

……

After a first snowfall, winter comes, heavy snow falls, water turns into ice, and after the extreme cold, life is ushered in again. At a glance, the eyes are full of spring scenery, spring is warm and flowers are blooming, followed by the rotation of the four seasons, and the ground is golden.

Time is like this, like a fleeting moment, and when I receive the news from the hidden world, it is already two years later.

The outskirts of M city.

The door of the hidden world opened quietly, only a small number of disciples returned from the hidden world, the others either stayed in the hidden world, or died on the way to the trial, even the Liu family lost two people.

"Senior Sister Qinyan, do you want to go directly to our home, or go with us to meet Patriarch Liu Xin?" A male disciple with a square face came to Liu Qinyan and asked.

"I'll go back with you to see my aunt first." I don't know if it's because of her improved cultivation, but Liu Qinyan's mentality has become more stable, and her tone has softened a lot.

After the disciple heard Liu Qinyan's answer, he organized his team and walked to Liu's house in M ​​city.

Liu Qinyan looked at the street that was still the same, thinking about the matter of leaving without saying goodbye, she didn't know how to face the sixth day, she only hoped that seeing her aunt would give her some inspiration.

"Senior sister, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about that girl named Zuo Liu?" A female disciple who was about the same age as Liu Qinyan, took Liu Qinyan's arm and said affectionately.

"No, it's just that returning to the world is a little uncomfortable."

The female disciple didn't believe it, she pouted and said, "I think it is, you said that we are in a group of three, and she pays more attention to you, otherwise how could you just happen to be able to pull you when you fell from the sword mountain?" stay."

Speaking of this matter, Liu Qinyan did not say anything to refute.

At that time, when climbing up the sword mountain under pressure, Liu Qinyan was plotted by other groups. She stepped on it for a while, and was about to fall. She was pierced by the broken sword at the foot of the mountain, and the person named Zuo Liu unexpectedly grabbed Liu Qin Yan's hand saved Liu Qinyan's life.

The situation was so critical that all the disciples of the Liu family shouted.

"Don't mention it again in the future. Since she has stayed in the hidden world, I don't think there will be a chance to see her again." Liu Qinyan looked at the gate of the branch of the Liu family in the distance, and said softly.

The female disciple seemed to have thought of this too, and sighed regretfully.

Since the disciples of the Liu family appeared in City M, within a stick of incense, General Ghost hurried back to City N to report to Ling Ji.

"You mean, except for the disciples of the Liu family and a few casual cultivators who came back, everyone else chose to stay in the secluded world, and the most important problem is that the sixth day did not show up, right?" Lingji raised her eyes slightly, Looking at the ghost general standing in front of the table, he asked gently.

"Yes, and I heard that the hidden world will not recruit newcomers in the future, they will form their own line and close the door, so... so those who did not come out this time, I am afraid that they will continue to practice in the hidden world in the future, and there is no way to come out. "The voice of the ghost general who reported was getting weaker and weaker, and his body was still trembling a little.

Lingji looked at the ghost general who was retreating faintly, put his head on his hands, and asked with a half-smile: "What? I didn't fix your muscles and bones before, which made you disabled?"

When General Ghost heard this, he fell to his knees with a plop.

"No... But Wang really didn't come out, and her subordinates kept guarding near the Taoist gate. They didn't see the king's figure until the Taoist gate disappeared, and they didn't see the king's face after wearing a mask." Ghost General said tremblingly. Kneeling on the ground, afraid of losing his life if he says a wrong word.

Lingji naturally knew the strength of this ghost general, and believed that he would not be mistaken, but the sixth day did not come out, so what kind of drama is this playing?

"Okay, I see, you go back first."

"Yes, ghost king." The ghost general knocked his head on the ground forcefully, and backed out the door. Just at this moment, the old ghost came in, thinking that Lingji was going to send troops, so he quickly shouted: "Lingji, please be safe, she is fine. .”

Looking at the handsome face that came in suddenly, Ling Ji couldn't help being taken aback.When he saw the ghost hook in this person's hand, he took a closer look at this person's face before reacting.

"Congratulations, I really didn't see you in March, and my cultivation base has improved rapidly, and even my appearance has changed back to before."

Before the old ghost took care of Wang Yan's affairs, he took the initiative to resign and wanted to go out to improve his cultivation.Naturally, Ling Ji didn't stop her, but it's only been a while before the old ghost changed his old appearance, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and appeared in front of Ling Ji gracefully.

"It's much easier to have the ghost hook in your hand." The old ghost said, putting the ghost hook in front of Ling Ji, and then clasped his fists together, "There is no abnormality in the place of prayer, which proves that nothing happened to Wang, she may be There are still things to do, if we attack the hidden world rashly, it will not take advantage of the land, and it may destroy the king's plan."

"Oh? Listen to your tone, are you trying to command me?" Ling Ji looked at the old ghost coldly.

At the same time, other forces learned of the return of the practitioners and the closure of the Dao door in seclusion.Many people suspect that the hidden world is worried about being targeted by the wishing lineage, so it decides not to absorb new blood, but some people say that it may be because the monks here are too weak, which makes the hidden world look down on them.

"It doesn't matter what the reason is, it's good that Qinyan is back." Li Wanqing touched her swollen belly, sat on the sofa and ate Sun Yu's favorite grapes.

Because Sun Yu wanted to practice in seclusion before, he planned to communicate with Liu Qinyan, but when he asked Patriarch Liu Yi, he learned that Liu Qinyan had already left, so he didn't go, but Sun Yu didn't regret it, because he was Soon to be a father.

"Daughter-in-law, what else do you want, I'll get it for you." Sun Yu wiped her hands and sat beside Li Wanqing.

"Then let's go see how Qinyan is? By the way, it's been a long time since the sixth day, and I don't know what I'm doing."

"Qinyan is still in M ​​City, you are inconvenient, so don't go." Sun Yu thought that Chu Liu had been missing for a long time, so he had to selectively ignore Chu Liu's problem, but he didn't want his unnatural expression to be caught. Li Wanqing found out.

"Is there something you are hiding from me?" Li Wanqing put down the grapes, sat upright, and looked at Sun Yu seriously.

Sun Yu's eyes dodged, and he gently stroked Li Wanqing's stomach without making a sound.

"I'm just saying, you good brother, why haven't you talked about your younger brothers and sisters for so long? Did something happen to Chu Liu, and he was afraid to say it? Did Chu Liu die when Puchen Temple was besieged? "
