The territory of China is vast, with ninety-nine prefectures, large and small. Each nine prefectures are combined into one, divided into due east, due south, due west, due north, northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest, and the nine roads of Zhonghuang. Among them, Zhonghuang
Dao occupies twenty-seven states, comparable to the three states, and is the real center of China, while Taizhou is located in the Southeast Dao, one of the nine southeastern states.
At night, the stars are dim, and the mountain city located at the foot of Mount Tai is extremely quiet, without any noise.
At a certain moment, the stars in the sky shone brightly, and a figure walked out quietly.
"What a heavy ghost spirit!"
Zhuang Yuan, who came all the way with the help of his magical power of star movement, felt the cold air permeating the world. Zhuang Yuan frowned slightly. He was not unfamiliar with this aura, and even said he was very familiar with it.
When he entered the Middle Earth from the Southern Wilderness, his first stop was naturally Qingzhou. However, considering that Wu Sheng was going through a tribulation, it was not suitable to disturb him, so he did not stop in Qingzhou, but rushed to Taizhou non-stop with the help of his magical power. This is
One of the main destinations of his trip.
Qingzhou is located on the Southwest Road, and Taizhou is located on the Southeast Road. The two are far apart. Even if he has mastered the magical power of the stars, it took him a lot of time to get to Taizhou. The prosperity of the Middle Earth is far greater than that of the Southern Wilderness. The land of one state is
Chaomai used to be the Dali Dynasty, not to mention that there was a Zhengnan Road between the Southwest Road and the Southeast Road.
"Are the ghosts here so rampant?"
Starlight circulated around him, covering him. When he looked at Mount Tai, which was as tall as the sky and half of his body was thrust into the clouds, supporting the heaven and earth like a pillar, Zhuang Yuan felt surprised and puzzled.
Mount Tai is the center of Taizhou. It has had a very high humanistic status since ancient times. It is also one of the sources of myths for Taizhou and even the entire Middle Earth. It is rumored that this place was once the residence of immortal gods. However, at this moment, in Zhuang Yuan's eyes, this sacred mountain has become
It completely turned into a ghost nest, with boundless ghost energy gathering on the top of the mountain, turning into dark clouds covering the sky and earth, covering the entire Taizhou.
"It shouldn't be. According to the information left by Wanxiang Xingjun, Taizhou was once the center of the southeastern nine states. Even if it has declined now, it should not be stolen by ghosts. You must know that ghosts have always been the enemy of the human race, and this Middle-earth is
A former humanitarian center."
The clearer he saw, the more doubtful Zhuang Yuan became.
Having studied under Longhu Mountain, he naturally knows that this era is the era of ghosts, but Zhongzhou was once the center of humanity. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the headquarters of humanity. There should be no such scene where ghosts are rampant.
The Southern Wilderness is a remote place. How can we suppress ghosts with humanity, let alone Middle Earth? Although this era is the ghost era, many ghosts have been blessed, but it still takes a process for ghosts to truly grow, and the human race has already
Having been in charge of the situation for a long time, it is not that there is no power to suppress ghosts. The situation should not have collapsed like this.
"Although I was traveling in a hurry, this is the first time I have seen such a situation. There may be ghosts in other states, but they will never be so rampant."
"Now it seems that the orthodoxy of Tianxing Sect is really broken."
He withdrew his gaze, turned his thoughts, and looked towards the mountain city not far away. Hiding his own aura, Zhuang Yuan quietly fell down. He needed to find out more information.
Mount Tai was once occupied by the Tianxing Sect and was the ancestral court of its sect. In its heyday, it single-handedly suppressed the Southeast Kyushu, dominated the Southeast Road, and watched the entire world. It was one of the top forces at that time, but from the current situation
From the looks of it, Tianxing Sect has obviously lost Mount Tai and has a high probability of being destroyed.
"Is this some kind of event?"
Walking quietly into the backing city, Zhuang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the deserted streets, the black lanterns hung in every house and the white paper money scattered on the ground.
To be cautious, he did not spread his spiritual thoughts unscrupulously, but after walking a little further, he discovered a strange sight, that is, there was a cage placed outside the door of many people's houses.
There were strands of red silk hanging, and they were dressed very festively, and inside were children of about six years old.
Each of them wore exquisite makeup, both male and female, dressed like dolls. They were curled up, hiding in cages and shivering, not daring to make any noise.
Looking at such a scene, Zhuang Yuan was completely puzzled, and at this moment he noticed something.
Phew, the dark wind blew, a dark cloud came from Mount Tai, completely blocking the moonlight, and ghosts emerged from it, with evil smiles, and threw themselves towards the streets of the mountain city. For a time, the scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night was vividly outlined
They floated past the cages one after another, and some stayed for a while, their scarlet eyes full of greed, as if they were looking at some delicious food.
At a certain moment, a child vaguely felt something and was so frightened that he cried loudly. The ghost hovering around him was overjoyed and went straight into the cage and swallowed his soul.
The reality of ghosts is uncertain. When they become virtual, it is difficult for ordinary people to detect the existence of ghosts, and they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Children who can produce some sensations have good spiritual senses, and the souls of such children are extremely delicious to ghosts.
food.
Seeing such a scene, Zhuang Yuan still didn't understand that these children were used as sacrifices to these ghosts. For a moment, an unknown anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and just when he wanted to take action to destroy these ghosts
When he was there, someone appeared and blocked him.
"Fellow Taoist, listen to my advice. If you are not sure about solving the Hundred Ghost Sect on Mount Tai, don't take action. Otherwise, you will not only lose your own life, but also harm the people in this city."
Carrying a big sword on his back and melting into the darkness, a seven-foot-tall man with a dark red face, full beard, and a compass in his hand who looked to be in his thirties appeared in front of Zhuang Yuan.
After hearing this, he glanced at the strong man in front of him, pondered for a moment, and suppressed the anger in his heart. Zhuang Yuan gave up his plan to take action. He knew that the other party did not lie to him. Although he was just observing from the outside and did not understand deeply, he could
Zhuang Yuan also sensed the existence of several powerful ghosts on Mount Tai.
For him, he could easily destroy all the little ghosts in the city, but he had no confidence in dealing with the ghost king on Mount Tai, let alone protecting the safety of all the creatures in the city.
At this moment, Zhuang Yuan felt an inexplicable depression in his heart. After leaving the Southern Wilderness, it turned out that there are still such ghosts in this world.
Seeing Zhuang Yuan dissipate the power in his hand and holding the compass, Nie Renxiong breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and at the same time, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When he came out tonight, he originally wanted to cover up for a few talented little guys and save their lives, but he didn't expect to find Zhuang Yuan, an outsider.
Although Zhuang Yuan's whole body was covered by an invisible force, he could still vaguely feel that Zhuang Yuan was stronger than him. This was very strange, because he was already a high-level Yin God and stronger than him.
, is it a pure Yin realm monk or a Taoist realm?
"Fellow Taoist, Nie Renxiong, let's find another place to talk. We won't be quiet tonight."
Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Nie Renxiong put forward a new suggestion.
Hearing this, listening to the cries of children coming from the darkness, he sighed and Zhuang Yuan nodded.
After getting the affirmative answer, the compass in his hand turned, darkness filled the air, and the figures of Zhuang Yuan and Nie Renxiong disappeared.
