Chapter 7 Chapter Seven

The night is dark and the wind is high, the lights of all houses are extinguished, the sky is dark and cloudy, and there is no moon, only the few remaining stars in the sky, shining faintly. The night wind blows "swish" over Heyang City, like a wild ghost crying at night, it is really chilly and terrifying, even thinking that this place has just gone through a catastrophe, and there is no one on the streets outside the city. less than.On the long streets and ancient roads, there are only a few dead leaves occasionally blown down by the wind, rolling and undulating lonely in it, floating into the distance.

In this eerie night, a black shadow suddenly floated up from Heyang City, like a phantom, almost insubstantial, it fell silently outside the city, and swiftly and unnecessarily swept towards the ancient road south of Heyang City.Not a moment later, another gray shadow followed closely, staring at that black shadow. These two are naturally the Lich and Shangguan Ce who have been following for thousands of miles. From the southern border to the present, this chase has been protracted.Shangguan Ce is equipped with Fenxianggu's profound supernatural powers and thaumaturgy, and also has a mysterious "Nine Cold Ning Ice Spike" magic weapon. It is very difficult for the Lich to deal with it, but the strange magic skills of the Lich are always unexpected. He made thousands of changes in places that were absolutely impossible, but it also caused Shangguan Ce a headache. He was about to capture him again and again, but he missed it time and time again.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have given up when they encountered this situation, but Shangguan Ce was under the orders of Yun Yilan, the owner of Fenxiang Valley, and the Lich probably had a way to unravel the secret of the sky fire of the ancient witch clan in southern Xinjiang , no matter what, this is what Fenxianggu is determined to achieve, so along the way, he bit the bullet and chased it down. However, such persistence is not entirely useless. The level of practice of the two is there, and it is difficult for the Lich to compete with them in a short time. Seeing it in his eyes, he gradually knew in his heart that it was becoming more and more difficult for the Lich to escape Shangguan Ce's pursuit again.

This point, Shangguan Ce knew it well, and the Lich knew it even more, but he had no choice but to understand it, but he really had nothing to do.If there is a way to get rid of this hateful person who is like a bone, he has used it countless times over thousands of miles, but Shangguan Ce has been famous for nearly a hundred years, and he was even more famous in southern Xinjiang. Their vision and vision are all superior, far from being comparable to Li Xun and other second-generation disciples of Fenxiang Valley.Although the Lich cast strange magic and thaumaturgy repeatedly, they were seen through one by one. At most, they could only hide it for a moment, and escaped a certain distance by themselves, but after a while, they were finally chased by Shangguan Ce.

In fact, the reason why Shangguan Ce, or Fenxianggu Yun Yilan must capture him back, was already clear in Lich's mind during several conversations with Shangguan Ce, but to him, he was absolutely unwilling to capture him without a fight. That night, seeing Shangguan Ce behind him chasing closer and closer, while the ancient road in front retreated rapidly, the hills and land boundaries were rarely blocked. Instead, the terrain gradually flattened and opened up, and a wilderness appeared in front of him. In such a place, where else could one escape? The Lich smiled wryly under the masked black scarf, and rushed away with all his strength, but the sound of the wind behind him became tighter and tighter.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly felt something, as if he had discovered something, he turned his head and looked to one side.His name is "Lich", as the name suggests, he knows what kind of Taoism and supernatural powers he is good at. In addition, his physical constitution is different from ordinary people, and he is ten times more sensitive to ghosts and ghosts than ordinary cultivators. This is still above the ancient road, and while he was rushing, he still keenly noticed that there was a deep and gloomy ghostly aura emanating from a distance in the depths of the wilderness ancient road.

The Lich was overjoyed, his body turned sharply in mid-air, and he twisted abruptly, but flied towards the depths of the wilderness extremely swiftly. Unspeakably free and easy, he also turned around easily, and chased after him again. It's just that after this slight delay, the Lich opened a distance again, and his figure became slightly blurred, but Shangguan Ce didn't worry too much. After following the long journey, he had already captured this mysterious Lich. He has made a fuss about it, and he can't figure out any tricks. At this moment, his mood is more or less like a cat catching a mouse.

It took a lot of energy to track thousands of miles, and it took so much effort, so why not punish you? Shangguan Ce sneered in his heart, and with the reassurance of the overall situation, he chased down with ease. Soon, the things that appeared in front of the Lich proved his conjecture. This place is indeed a place full of yin and qi. The location, but judging from the dilapidation of the courtyard hut, it is probably a place that has been abandoned for a long time. The Lich couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. According to his original intention, this Yizhuang is full of Yin Qi, which is an excellent place suitable for him to cast many strange spells, but after a long time of abandonment, the effect will be compromised, especially He has several strange spells similar to the ghost way, and he can even manipulate corpses, which are quite powerful, and he has no chance to use them along the way. If he takes advantage of this opportunity to cast spells suddenly, it may also cause the old man Shangguan Ce to suffer a big loss .

It's just that this Yizhuang has been abandoned for a long time, so naturally there won't be any dead bodies lying here. But even though I was a little disappointed in my heart, but in terms of Lich's state of mind, this place can still be said to be a place where life can be saved from a desperate situation, and without any hesitation at the moment, the black figure swooped into the dark room in the Yizhuang. In the dark house. However, when his figure drifted away, a little confusion also flashed in his mind: This Yizhuang has been abandoned for a long time, but how can this eerie aura be so strong and persistent?

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the hut in Yizhuang was even darker, and it was difficult to see five fingers.However, for people who practice Taoism, especially "people" like Lich who have a physique different from ordinary people, this darkness is not difficult. Soon he "seeed" the general situation in Yizhuang's house clearly. It has been abandoned for a long time, and the surrounding walls are riddled with holes and extremely dilapidated. The counter table in front of the house, which was supposed to be a memorial to the undead, has also been dumped on the ground. The cover is not even closed.

Hearing the sudden tightening of the wind outside Yizhuang, it was obvious that Shangguan Ce was in hot pursuit again, and he was about to catch up. The Lich didn't hesitate, but his body trembled, and suddenly there were several strange-shaped nails in his hand But the whole body is covered with iron thorns, and then I don’t look at it, my fingers bounce like flying, I can only hear the sound of "swish swish swish swish swish swish", these monsters instantly disappeared into the darkness, flew into the Every corner of the cottage. And when each monster disappears into the darkness, a faint blue halo will suddenly emanate from the tail end, but it is only a flash, fleeting.As these monsters entered the darkness of the room, the chilly yin energy in the room suddenly became ten times stronger, as if it could penetrate the bone marrow. The Lich sneered, and with a glance out of the corner of his eye, his whole body suddenly floated up as if without the slightest weight, and flew straight to a coffin in the corner of the room.This coffin looked ordinary, and the lid was not closed properly, and half of it was crooked outside. The Lich slid in silently. He seemed to like the place that ordinary people seem to avoid, and as he slid in, the crooked coffin lid was also handed over by him. Well covered. The next moment, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and the room was completely silent, there was no sound at all, and the figure of Shangguan Ce appeared at the door of the room. ※※※ The Lich hid in the coffin in the corner, and he was very determined. It happened that the coffin was broken, and there were a few slits on the wooden wall. Proudly, as long as Shangguan Ce doesn't notice for a while, and takes two steps towards the middle of the room, he will trigger the "ghost" array he set up. With the help of the extremely strong eerie aura here, the old thief Shangguan will definitely be caught off guard . He was looking forward to it in his heart, but it seemed that Guan Ce was also very careful. He was not in a hurry to come in and search for the missing lich. Instead, he stood at the door and carefully looked into the room. Don't dare to come in boldly. The Lich felt a little disappointed, and secretly cursed that the old thief was really cunning. After recovering, he slowly began to pay attention to where he was. Unexpectedly, it took him only a moment to regain his senses, and he felt a bang in his mind, which almost scared him out of his wits. He was in this coffin, and there was actually another person! In fact, due to the special nature of the lich, there is no one in the coffin, but there is a dead person. To put it bluntly, even if it is a skeleton, he will turn a blind eye to it. In the coffin under him, there was a living person! And this person was completely undetected from the time he entered the hut to when he slid into the coffin, not even the sound of breathing.The Lich was terrified, his whole body trembled slightly, but finally he managed to control himself with his remaining rationality, and he didn't yell loudly or break out of the coffin, but his forehead, back and palms were already covered with cold sweat. But the next moment, he discovered something that surprised him even more, that is, the living person under him was not breathing... Living people without breathing! In a moment, the Lich had judged clearly that the person in the same coffin under him was indeed a living person, because the two were in the same coffin, and there was not much space between them. With his keenness, he quickly I noticed that the person's heart was beating slowly, but for some reason, the person's mouth and nose were motionless.The Lich quietly stretched out his hand to probe, and after a while, there was no movement at all, the person was indeed not breathing. Lich only felt his scalp go numb. This unimaginable change happened right in front of him, the Lich originally wanted to plot against the government, but his mind was in such a turmoil that he couldn't concentrate in his mind for a while, and his blood was surging faintly.It's just that he is also a person with profound morality and deeds after all. When he thought about it, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly urged the true method secretly to calm down his mind. After a while, he finally settled down. However, at this moment, when the Lich was planning how to face this unexpected situation, a bigger accident made him dumbfounded and at a loss again. The entire coffin suddenly made a small voice: Snapped! It was as if something was closed, the sound was so soft that it was almost hard to hear, but in this hut, to the ears of these people with profound practice, it was completely different. Almost at the same time, Shangguan Ce suddenly turned around and stared at this corner. While the Lich was stunned, he felt that the coffin he was in suddenly emanated a strange demon power from all directions, and the strands were like ropes like hemp, which was actually tightly restraining the space inside the coffin. With supernatural powers, when encountering this inexplicable monster power, he has no strength to resist at all, and can't move in an instant, locked in this coffin by this invisible monster power for life. The soul of the Lich seemed to be scared out of her body. However, it seemed that it was not enough. At this moment, in the dark space inside the coffin, the "living person" who felt like a fat man under him suddenly opened his eyes as if he woke up. The eyes of the two people, in mid-air, in this weird atmosphere, looked at each other... Then, the unknown fat man smiled slightly at the Lich just like that. ※※※ Shangguan Ce stared closely at the corner in the middle of the room, but he didn't go over to check immediately.Although he doesn't have the special physique of a lich, but with his high level of knowledge, he can naturally roughly distinguish the scenery in this room, and at the same time, with his knowledge, of course he also knows what kind of place this is. But he was not a lich, and Shangguan Ce never liked places like Yizhuang, especially for an elderly man, he didn't like such places even more. At the same time, with his morality, when he first entered this room, he keenly noticed that the abundance of Yin Qi in this room is really extraordinary, far from being comparable to an ordinary Yi Zhuang.He knows better than anyone else what kinds of witchcraft and strange arts the lich is proficient in, and this place is obviously the favorite place of the lich. So be careful! Shangguan Ce submerged the true method, protected his whole body, and carefully inspected the weird hut again. After confirming that there was nothing suspicious, he slowly stepped forward. It's just that he only took half of his steps, and suddenly retracted. At the same time, a cold light flashed on his right hand, and the Nine Cold Ning Ice Spikes had already appeared in his hand. The old man always seems to be very careful. He finally took the first step in the direction of the corner. Outside the house, a gust of wind blew through, and the sound of "woo hoo" was creepy. Shangguan Ce was on full alert, not even the slightest change in the hut could escape his eyes and ears, but the surroundings were completely dark, except for silence, there was no sound at all. He sneered, and suddenly raised his voice: "The old man already knew that you were in this coffin, old friend, if you don't come out again, don't blame me for beating you with the coffin, and you will suffer." There was no answer, and there was silence all around. Shangguan Ce snorted angrily, and said, "Pretending to be a ghost!" After all, without hesitation, he took a step forward, and at the same time, the silver-white cold light of the nine cold icicles in his hand rose sharply, and the surrounding temperature immediately cooled down. But just when Shangguan Ce was ready to go, a faint blue light suddenly flew out from the other corner of the hut, wrapped in Yin Qi, and attacked Shangguan Ce's back. Shangguan Ce was always on guard against the surrounding situation, but this "Yin Charm" array set up by the Lich completely restrained its own Yin energy, and the whole body could absorb the surrounding Yin Qi to wrap it up. Every move of the energy channel here is a remarkable supernatural power, but at this time, it just became a weakness, and the Lich spotted this point and launched a sneak attack. Shangguan Ce didn't feel any abnormalities around him, until the yin charm approached three feet behind him, the wind was loud and the yin force was strong, and he was startled. Immediately, he took a big step forward, and opened a little distance when there was no time left. At the same time, the Nine Hanning Ice Spike instantly floated behind him from his hand, and a cold light exploded, and the silver-white light immediately illuminated the entire hut. It's just that under this weird atmosphere, the originally very beautiful Guanghui now looks pale and pale, which is really scalp-numbing. I saw silver radiance emanating from the Nine Hanning Ice Spike, which turned into a small shield of light on Shangguan Ce's back in a blink of an eye, and at the most dangerous moment, flicked away the ghost. But before Shangguan Ce could breathe for a moment, the big step he took just now had completely touched the sinister array that the Lich had just set up just now, and suddenly I saw blue lights flashing in several corners of the hut, mixed with several The ghostly ghost shot out, and what was even more weird was that the ghost that he bounced off just now drew a semicircle in mid-air, and as if someone was pulling it, it went up to the government policy again silently. Attacked from the back. Under Shangguan Ce's haste, he was in a hurry, but he was not an ordinary person after all, the light of Jiuhan Ning's ice thorns shone, and the icicles pointed at him. In a short while, it seemed that the room was covered from the roof to the floor. A thin layer of cream. And under this biting cold, Yin Mei, who was urged by the strange mana, seemed to be greatly resisted. Several Yin Mei, which flashed blue light, slowed down one after another. It's just that in this moment, a thick layer of ice has formed.Although their speed is still very fast, just such a slowdown has already slowed down Shangguan Ce's hands. Immediately, in the silvery white light, "clank clang clang clang" sounded several times in a row, and several ghosts were stabbed by the Nine Hanning Ice. It fell to the ground, and when it landed, it was probably pushed down by the cold air of Nine Cold Ning Ice, but under the ice, the ghost that landed was shattered into several pieces. Shangguan Ce turned the danger into safety in a very dangerous place, broke through the evil spirit of the Lich, couldn't help laughing, and shouted at the coffin: "Now you have nothing to do, you can't do anything if you don't come out..." Before the word "capture" could be uttered, Shangguan Ce's face suddenly changed, his face was distorted, and he let out a roar of extreme pain. Big hole, flew out.Between his figure, one could clearly see the faint light blue light flickering on his back, but it was the first Yin Mei just now, who somehow completely avoided his eyes and ears and severely injured him. ※※※ During these thrilling fights in the hut, the Lich and the mysterious and unknown fat man under him could see clearly through the gap in the coffin, especially when the last moment became hasty. It's still plotting. In the darkness, the mysterious fat man's eyes showed a bit of admiration, and he suddenly said, "You can sacrifice ghosts like Yin Mei and control them again. This kind of practice is really rare." The Lich was startled when he heard this person speak for the first time, but judging from his tone and eyes, it seemed that there was no hostility for the time being, and at this moment, his heart was also agitated, he smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "You wrong." The fat man was a little surprised, startled for a moment, and said, "Where did I go wrong?" The Lich sighed, and said: "It's true that I set up these ghost formations in front, but the last ghost is controlled by someone else, and has nothing to do with me." He said bitterly: "I If you really have that kind of practice, you won't be trapped here." The fat man frowned and stopped talking. The Lich glanced at him, and after only a few words, he had already roughly noticed the fat man's situation. In this weird coffin, but unlike the lich, this fat man obviously has a more powerful and weird power that confines his whole body. The Lich couldn't help being secretly surprised, the coffin he was in was so powerful that even with his high level of practice, it was still enough to imprison him immobilized, but to this fat man, it seemed that some people If it's not enough, we still have to plant a dreadful and weird spell on it to trap it. So if this fat man hadn't been restrained, wouldn't his morals be terrifyingly high? And if you think about it more deeply, what kind of terrifying person would be able to restrain this fat man? The lich's mind became a mess in an instant, the land of Middle Earth, the generation of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, was far more than he expected. At this moment, Shangguan Ce's angry roar came from outside the hut: "Is there any expert here, please show up and meet, and plot behind the scenes, what kind of hero?" In the hut, Lich and Fatty exchanged glances. It was obvious that Shangguan Ce also had blazing eyes, and he could tell at a glance that it was not the Lich who plotted to injure him, but someone else. At this time, only a pleasant voice like a silver bell came down from this gloomy ghost roof, with a bit of sarcasm and a bit of joy, said: "Didn't you say pretending to be a ghost, I want to show you who is pretending to be a ghost!" The Lich and the mysterious fat man were trapped in the coffin, so naturally they couldn't see who the woman on the small roof was, but Shangguan Ce was standing in the courtyard, enduring the severe pain at this moment, looked up, and suddenly gasped Cold air, said coldly: "It turned out to be you?" The woman said with a smile: "It's not me, or who? Hehehehe..." The laughter was crisp and clear, carrying a soul-stirring charm. Under the dark night, I saw a slender figure sitting on the roof alone, with picturesque eyebrows and watery eyes, all kinds of amorous feelings, peerless elegance, but not Kyuubi Who is Tianhu Xiaobai?
