In Shanshi Town, the watchman hit the clapper, and it was already the third watch.
A ghostly figure appeared on the street. Its body was light, as if it had no weight. It was floating on the street, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.
Wearing a pale white silk robe, it was so cold under the moonlight that it made people panic. He held a mourning stick in his hand, which looked very much like the Bai Wuchang in folklore. Zhu Yao, a first-level ghost cultivator in the second level of Luan Shen Sect, the way he practiced was
The Tao of Impermanence arrests people on behalf of the teachings.
The Chaos God Sect is an organization that believes in ancient gods and is committed to bringing the ancient gods back to the world. The ancient gods, as the name suggests, can be traced back to an era much longer than the previous dynasty.
Even the weakest ancient gods have seven realms of cultivation. Their bodies are like mountains. When you open your eyes, you will see the day, and when you close your eyes, you will see the night. Their voices turn into thunder, and their breath condenses into strong winds. The ancient gods are the incarnation of Tao.
The ancient gods relied on their innate advantages to feast on the human world for a hundred thousand years.
It was not until the human race came to power that the ancient gods gradually disappeared. Especially after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Holy Emperor believed that man could conquer heaven. Therefore, he issued an order that the people of the Tang Dynasty could not believe in the ancient gods.
Everyone can be a god. Only by adhering to the same concept can the human race usher in its own era. The human race can have immortals who go retrograde, and immortals can suppress the ancient gods.
The representatives of these immortals include Confucian sages, Taoists, and Martial Ancestors. They stand at the pinnacle of Tao. As long as the human race is immortal, their merits will last forever.
Later, after Confucian saints, martial ancestors, and Taoists ascended to heaven one after another, and there were no more true immortals in the world, this chaotic god sect emerged and was in conflict with the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of Zhu Yao's trip from the Luan Shen Sect was to bring a sleeping ancient god, the Qishan Disaster Snake, back to the world. Just because the Luan Shen Sect received news that in this Shanshi Town, someone made the Qishan Disaster Snake open his eyes.
Zhu Yao took out the jade in his arms. The jade contained blood, and the blood light flickered on and off in the night, which was very strange.
"The person who can make the gods open their eyes should be nearby." Zhu Yao murmured, until he came outside an inn, the blood-red glow was extremely rich.
Zhu Yao found the person who opened the eyes of Qishan's evil snake. He was in the inn in front of him. At this time, there were two people in the inn hall, among which the girl was blind.
These two people were none other than Chen Qingshan and the girl who escaped from the Huang family's military cottage, A Nan.
"It's here." A strange light appeared in Zhu Yao's eyes, and a strong wind suddenly blew open the door of the inn, revealing the figures of the two people in the hall.
"She is the one who made the ancient gods open their eyes." Holding the blood jade, Zhu Yao locked his eyes on Anan.
"Who are you?!" Chen Qingshan reacted instantly, shouted angrily at the strange cultivator in front of him, and pulled out his sword.
As if he couldn't hear Chen Qingshan's words, Zhu Yao smiled arrogantly, with the corners of his mouth reaching to the base of his ears, two rows of fangs, and a long scarlet tongue in his mouth.
Zhu Yao turned into a ghost and took A Nan away in an instant. Then he rolled back and left the inn. The wooden door of the inn was swinging back and forth.
Chen Qingshan chased after him with his sword, only to see Zhu Yao kidnapped A Nan and jumped onto the roof. He was like a flexible ape, prancing on the roof, with ghostly aura behind him, and disappeared after a while.
In such a hurry, Chen Qingshan had no time to think, so he could only chase him in the general direction. Chen Qingshan could feel that this strange cultivator was stronger than himself, but it was only too strong.
At this time, two sword flowers in Chen Qingshan's dantian were slowly rotating, and next to the two sword flowers, a flower bone flower had taken shape, with a wisp of sword energy lingering on it.
Because of the presence of Anan, Zhu Yao's speed was slower than usual. Chen Qingshan, who was following behind, slowly saw the figures of the two people in front of him.
Faced with this sudden incident, A Nan seemed very calm. A Nan could feel the cold air on Zhu Yao's body and could also hear the wind in his ears.
A-Nan seemed to feel something calling him from far away, with a joy that A-Nan could not understand.
And now this person is approaching in that direction. Anan doesn't know what the call in the distance is, and he doesn't know who the person who kidnapped him is, but there must be a connection between them.
No matter what their purpose was, Anan didn't want to let them control him. A small golden disc slipped from Anan's sleeve into the palm of Anan's hand.
A Nan went to the Huang family's military hut. Since it was a military hut, there was no shortage of hidden weapons. Especially since A Nan, as the eldest daughter of the military hut, the hidden weapons in her hands were even better.
A Nan was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to severely injure Zhu Yao.
Chen Qingshan and Zhu Yao ran in tandem, chasing each other, and slowly left the range of Shanshi Town. The feeling of summons lingering in A Nan's heart deepened a little more.
Anan decided not to wait any longer and triggered the hidden weapon in his hand.
Zhu Yao suddenly saw a disk appearing in front of him. Two small holes at the bottom of the disk were emitting white smoke. Zhu Yao's whole body was instantly enveloped in white smoke.
"You're careless!" Zhu Yao exclaimed, throwing Anan in his arms to the ground and protecting his head with both hands.
The small disk rotated rapidly, and two blades as thin as cicada wings popped out, forming a knife wheel. The knife wheel rotated, and Zhu Yao's arms were suddenly stained with blood, and began to glow with a strange red light.
The small disc thrown by Anan is called the Mianli Knife. As the name suggests, it covers the eyes with cotton-like white mist and kills people with the knife hidden in the box.
Even though Zhu Yao is a ghost cultivator and is not too afraid of ordinary swords, he was injured by the cotton sword.
After this delay, Chen Qingshan chased after him and thrust out two more swords. One sword was blocked by Zhu Yao with his red arms crossed, while the other sword went straight into Zhu Yao's body, injuring his heart and lungs.
"Wait for me!" Zhu Yao shouted in surprise, forcing Chen Qingshan back, then quickly turned into a ghost and fled into the forest.
Chen Qingshan wanted to remove the weeds, but he saw a pair of fierce eyes lighting up in the forest, like a pair of big red lanterns, staring at Chen Qingshan.
"Zhu Yao, the longer you live, the more you go back. You can't even bring back an ordinary person."
Zhu Yao's running figure stopped.
A clear voice sounded, and a young man walked out of the forest. Chen Qingshan saw the young man's appearance clearly through the moonlight. He was a little younger than himself.
The young man was of the same level as Chen Qingshan, with a cultivation level of the first level, but for some reason, the danger Chen Qingshan sensed from him was stronger than that of the Zhu Yao of the second level.
"Yes, it's my subordinate's fault." The seriously injured Zhu Yao lowered his hands and stood obediently behind the young man, completely ignoring his injuries and his arms that were still dripping with blood.
"Yeah." The young man just said coldly, crossing his arms across his chest and looking at Anan.
"She is the one who opened the eyes of the evil snake in Qishan?" The young man said in a bad tone, vaguely jealous.
The Zhu Yao behind him should be.
"Hmph, the ancient god enshrined by the Qishan Disaster Snake in our religion is a first-class existence, and it is also the highest-level ancient god who has awakened so far. I never expected that he would fall in love with a blind girl!" the young man said.
The Zhu Yao behind her quickly came out to smooth things over: "Son of God, please don't lie. If this woman can accept the inheritance of the evil snake, her status in the sect will be higher than your ghost punishment. We are both favored by the ancient gods.
, you should help each other."
Among the ancient gods enshrined by the Luan Shen Sect, the Ancient God Ghost Punishment ranks second and third. At its peak, its strength was probably at the Half-Step Eighth Level.
"Nonsense, if I didn't know, would she still be standing here alive?" the young man responded, and then a ghost hand came out from behind the young man and grabbed Anan.
Chen Qingshan broke it with his sword and protected Anan.
The young man smiled, and a black shadow like a ghost emperor came out from behind him. This black shadow wore an imperial crown. There were twelve strings of glass beads on the front and back of the crown. The glass beads hung down, making it difficult for people to see him clearly.
face.
This black shadow is Gui Xing, an ancient god who is said to be born in the underworld and the real world. He is responsible for killing and punishment. The last time he appeared was nearly a thousand years ago. At that time, an immortal became enlightened and across the mountains and seas, with one palm, he
Beat it to pieces.
"If you want to die, then I will help you." The young man looked at Chen Qingshan, and the ghost executioner behind the young man also looked at Chen Qingshan.
The feeling of death suddenly spread all over Chen Qingshan's body, which came from the gaze of the ancient gods.
At this time, Zhu Yao behind the young man stepped forward and came to the young man's side, saying: "Son of God, this boy has a good relationship with the Snake Goddess. If you kill him, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the Snake Goddess. God Son, please think twice."
The young man thought for a while, and the figure of the ancient god behind him gradually faded away.
Chen Qingshan looked at the ghost cultivator named Zhu Yao, wondering why he wanted to save him. Facing Chen Qingshan's gaze, Zhu Yao just stretched out his tongue, which was much longer than ordinary people, and licked the hair on his arm.
Blood then showed a strange smile to Chen Qingshan.
"If I don't kill him, why don't you come with us? This opportunity is enough for you to reach the sky in one step. From now on, you will dominate the world." The young man looked at the blind girl Anan.
At this time, the calling in Anan's heart was even stronger.
"A'Nan doesn't want to dominate the world, A'Nan just wants to be himself." A'Nan replied.
"If you have the strength, you can naturally do whatever you want." Zhu Yao licked his wounds and added.
Ah Nan said nothing and just nodded.
Looking at the three people leaving, Chen Qingshan didn't know what he was thinking.
But somewhere invisible, the golden color spreading on Chen Qingshan's palms was slowly fading away.
"I don't know why the Zhu Yao saved me, but I don't know who he saved." Chen Qingshan murmured, and saw a blazing sun in Chen Qingshan's sea of consciousness at this time, reflecting the sky.
This scorching sun is exactly Zhuzhao, the bead that recognizes Chen Qingshan as his master in Jishui Town.
When the ghost punishment tried to harm Chen Qingshan, Zhu Zhao took the initiative to enter Chen Qingshan's sea of consciousness as if he had been provoked, and prepared to fight back against the ghost punishment.
Until Zhu Yao stopped the young man.
When Zhuzhao comes out, it can burn the world, even the ancient gods can fight. As for the low-ranking ancient gods like Guixing, Zhuzhao can directly suppress them.
Chen Qingshan knew that the Ghost Punisher had murderous intentions towards him, and this murderous intention was not due to a conflict of interest.
As far as Gui Xing Shenzi is concerned, the reason why he wanted to kill Chen Qingshan was just: I see you are unhappy when you appear here, so I want to kill you.
That's all.
For such a person, Chen Qingshan would naturally kill him.
The arena in this world may sound complicated, but in fact it is very simple. It is nothing more than killing and being killed.
