The scholar laughed, stood up, and greeted everyone.

But because he had something very important to do now, the scholar did not stay here for too long. Instead, he told everyone to stay in the mountains and he would come back after he finished handling the matters in the city.

.

"Brother, I know that this trip is very dangerous. You are also worried about our safety, so you asked us to wait again. But we are really not weak in strength. If we go together, we will definitely be able to help."

At this time, the little girl couldn't bear to see the scholar continue to take risks alone, so she wanted to persuade the scholar. However, the scholar smiled faintly, reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said very gently: "Don't worry, it's nothing.

It’s dangerous, I just have some things to figure out.”

After finishing speaking, the scholar raised his head and looked at Bai Ling. Before Bai Ling could speak, the scholar said to her: "Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around. You are still responsible for her safety."

Bai Ling nodded.

Lin Xiang'er and the woman in white also came over now. They also wanted to say something to the scholar, but the scholar waved to them and said, "You two just stay together.

I can handle things in this city myself."

Without giving Lin Xiang'er a chance to talk to the woman in white, the scholar continued to add: "I will be back soon, it will only take an hour or two."

The scholar said this, without any pause, he directly summoned the huge blue sword, walked with the sword, and with a thought, he appeared in the Hu County City.

Although it is not dark yet, but now the dark clouds are pressing in, the sky is already so dark that you can't see even if you stretch your hand, which is quite strange.

The scholar smiled coldly, quickly released his consciousness, and began to investigate some changes in the city.

I don’t know if he took the hint from the Empress of Xishan. When the scholar observed some things in the city at this moment, he found that the layout here really didn’t look like a human city. Every street seemed too gloomy, and

There are also many locust trees, willows, and other eerie-looking trees planted on the roadside. Without exception, these trees are all shady.

This is a taboo in Feng Shui because doing so can easily attract unclean things.

If this arrangement is forced, I'm afraid the people living here will not be able to live in peace.

The scholar also walked around the city and found that some of the buildings in the city were strange. The individual houses were nothing special, but when the whole house was connected, it looked like a coffin. At first, the scholar did not notice it.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but now that I noticed this strange layout, the scholar took a breath.

Sure enough, there is something wrong with this city. If the Empress of Xishan really didn't lie, then I'm afraid this city is really filled with evil spirits and resentful spirits.

But for some unknown reason, these evil and resentful spirits identify themselves as human beings, and there is nothing unusual about them on weekdays.

The scholar's attention at this moment was also attracted by the huge square, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered.

The scholar was also surprised. He didn't understand why there was such a big square in this county town. Moreover, with so many people gathered in the square, it still seemed very empty.

What puzzled the scholar was that with so many people gathered in the square, no one wanted to eat or go to the latrine. This was a bit abnormal.

Observing these people carefully, the scholar still didn't notice any difference. They seemed to be just ordinary people.

But the scholar clearly felt that these people behaved very strangely.

There is also the magistrate of Hu County, who is obviously sitting in the center of the square at this moment. There are also some strangely carved talismans posted on the square. Those talismans also have an evil aura, and I don’t know.

Where did you get the talisman from?

Such a talisman cannot stop those ghosts. On the contrary, it can attract ghosts.

After checking for a while, the scholar just sighed softly. Although everything in Hu County seemed very weird, the scholar still couldn't be sure that these people were transformed by evil spirits and evil spirits. The scholar was just

I feel that these people are behaving very unusually and doing very abnormal things.

After retracting the dispersed consciousness, the scholar focused on a lake, which was exactly where the ghost king in white and the ghost king in purple were.

With a thought, the scholar followed the cyan giant sword to the lakeside and appeared in front of the ghost king in white and purple.

The Ghost King in White and the Ghost King in Purple were also frightened immediately, but when they saw it was a scholar, they were pleasantly surprised.

They were originally worried that the scholar would not be able to come out of that dream in time, and were worrying about what to do next. Now that they saw the scholar, they finally had a backbone, and their hanging hearts were finally relieved.

Come down.

The scholar looked at the ghost king in white and purple, smiled faintly, and said, "You are both ghost kings. Have you noticed anything strange about the people in this city?"

Hearing what the scholar said, the ghost king in white and the ghost king in purple immediately frowned.

They also looked at each other in confusion, and then the two of them shook their heads one after another.

"The people in this city are all ordinary people. There is nothing strange about them. If there is anything strange, it should be that they are full of fear deep in their hearts at this moment." The Ghost King in White said this.

The purple-clothed ghost king also nodded first, and then added: "Yes, they are all ordinary people, and they are also very ordinary people, so what's the difference."

The Ghost King in White and the Ghost King in Purple were very puzzled, but they felt that the scholar had asked such a question, so there must be a reason for it, but they didn't know this reason yet.

The scholar frowned, but did not deliberately hide anything. He stood in the dreamland on the ninth floor. What the Empress of Xishan said to him about the people of Hu County, he simply said to the Ghost King in White and the Ghost King in Purple.

After reading it again, when the ghost king in white and the ghost king in purple heard the scholar talk about all the people in the city being actually evil spirits and evil spirits, they both showed very shocked expressions on their faces.

"Isn't this possible? The people in this city are obviously ordinary people, and they are all mortals of flesh and blood. How can they be evil spirits?"

"Furthermore, there are many charity villages here in the city, and there are many graves on the mountains around the county. People in the city will be buried on the mountains after they die. If they are really evil spirits and evil spirits, how can they do it?

Like mortals, they are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death."

The ghost king in white frowned, thinking hard at this moment, but still couldn't figure it out.

Because in her opinion, all the people in this city are obviously ordinary people. If they are not ordinary people, how can they be afraid of ghosts like them? When these ghosts come to the door, if they are evil spirits or resentful spirits, they are completely capable

Fight these ghosts.

"Yes, these are ordinary people. How could they be evil spirits and resentful spirits? We are the kings of ghosts. If they are really evil spirits and resentful spirits, we cannot not feel them."

"And when they were eaten by ghosts in the Night Walk of One Hundred Ghosts, they did not show the resistance that resentful spirits and evil spirits should have."

The Purple-clothed Ghost King was also very confused. She was constantly observing the surviving people in the city at this moment, but no matter how she observed, she felt that these people were just ordinary people. Ordinary people with flesh and blood were completely mortal.

There is no body, no cultivation on the body, and no similarity with the so-called resentful spirits and evil spirits. Moreover, in this city, there is not even a demon subduing master or demon slayer, not even the goddess's

I have never seen anything like that. It can really be said that the people in this city are ordinary to the extreme.

Seeing that the ghost king in white and the ghost king in purple were so sure, the scholar also began to doubt the credibility of what Xishan Empress said to him in the dream.

"How could this be? Could it be that the Empress of Xishan deceived me like this on purpose? But there is no reason for that. As she said, all my cultivation was given by her, and I was also there

Xishan Niangniang Temple gave me the opportunity to cultivate for a thousand years in one day, and I have achieved the level of cultivation I have now. And she also allowed me to enter the Xishan Niangniang Temple again to increase my spiritual power after the Xishan Niangniang Temple in Hu County appeared.

Cultivation."

"And Empress Xishan also said that the reason why her temple is located underground in this county is to suppress the evil spirits and resentful spirits in Hu County and prevent them from leaving this area."

The scholar frowned at this moment, thinking about these things carefully. At the same time, he was also observing every plant and thing in this layer. He looked at every living thing very carefully, even the fish, shrimps, and grass in the lake.

Observed many times.

Although everything in this city didn't seem to be anything strange at first glance, when the scholar looked at it together, he felt that this town was full of weirdness.

After feeling it carefully, the atmosphere in this city is not only eerie and terrifying, but also full of a strong sense of depression.

To say this is a ghost town is an understatement.

However, the scholar still couldn't convince his heart.

"Although there are rumors that Empress Xishan had a fight with her nemesis and was seriously injured, and I feel that Empress Xishan has no intention of caring about anything else now, but in that dream, Empress Xishan's aura was so powerful, even if she was injured.

She is here, but she wants to deal with me. She can almost kill me with just a thought. In this case, it is impossible for her to deceive me because of this matter, so my cultivation must be too weak.
