Chapter 270 Chapter 275, Different Bodies, One Heart, Demon World
Inside the stone chamber, as the medicinal power of the "Zhixian Pill" was gradually refined, Xiaobai's aura rose steadily.
At a certain moment, as if breaking through a certain boundary, Xiaobai only felt a strange breath suddenly awakening from the depths of her blood, instantly spreading to her whole body and even rushing into her sea of consciousness.
She was distracted and suddenly a series of bizarre images flashed through her mind.
Those images were like floating lights, flashing by in an instant, so fast that she could not recognize the details of the images. She only vaguely saw that there seemed to be an extremely sacred illusory figure with a human body and a snake tail, riding on lightning and passing through the sky.
Surrounding the illusory figure were several awe-inspiring mythical beasts, one of which was a snake-shaped beast that made her feel close to it.
The illusory light and shadow image quickly dissipated.
Her body has undergone some mysterious changes that can be described as a complete rebirth. Her magic power has greatly increased, and her spirit has become stronger. When she concentrates, she even has a vague feeling that she has touched the laws of heaven and earth, as if she can easily control the water and wind between heaven and earth with just a thought.
"Is this what Xiaoqing said, stimulating the potential of the bloodline?"
Xiaobai clenched his fists lightly, feeling the power that was much stronger than before, but he did not feel happy about the huge increase in strength, but instead felt sad:
"If it could be earlier..."
Just when I was feeling sad, Xiaoqing's voice came from outside the door:
"Sister, have you made a breakthrough?"
Xiaobai gathered his emotions, wiped away the tears from his eyes, waved his sleeves to open the door, and said with a smile:
"He has indeed broken through, and just like you, he has stimulated his bloodline potential. Xiaoqing, how did you know?"
Xiaoqing came over with a smile and sat next to Xiaobai:
"Just now, I suddenly had a very strange feeling in my heart, and I also saw some illusions... Ouyang Feng said that perhaps you and I are both descendants of the Teng Snake, and there is a special resonance of blood. Hehe, now we are truly different bodies with the same heart."
"Bloodline resonates, different bodies but one mind?" Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, you and I are sisters, different bodies but one mind."
Xiaoqing stared into Xiaobai's eyes and saw that although her eyes were slightly red and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, her eyes were no longer as gray and empty as before. The faint glow in her eyes also became much brighter. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved and said with a smile:
"Oh, sister, Ouyang Feng is going to a place to subdue demons, do you want to come with us?"
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "If you go, I will go too."
"Then we can go together." Xiao Qing took her arm and said, "I told you before that Ouyang Feng wants to build a carriage and hire us to pull it for him..."
Xiao Bai nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Qing was stunned. "You didn't agree last time. Why did you agree so readily this time before I even tried to persuade you?"
Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Master Ouyang has saved me twice and helped me to avenge my great hatred. I should repay you. Most importantly, since you and I are sisters with different bodies but the same heart, I will do whatever work you do in the future."
"noob……"
Xiaoqing hugged Xiaobai tightly, put her cheek against hers, and rubbed it affectionately, "From now on... I won't allow you to be sad again. And I will never let you be sad again."
Xiaobai blinked, "Your words sound like love words. If Master Ouyang heard it, he would probably be angry."
"No way?" Xiaoqing was a little confused. "This is just a close conversation between sisters. What does it have to do with love talk?"
Seeing that Xiaoqing was still so naive despite knowing the world, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile and said softly:
"It's a close conversation between sisters, but... Anyway, you can talk to me about this kind of thing in private in the future, and don't say it in front of Master Ouyang."
"He knows our friendship, so he won't be so petty." Xiao Qing disagreed and said with a smile: "Oh, there is one more thing. Ouyang Feng has a 'White Python Whip Technique'..."
After hearing what Xiaoqing said, Xiaobai was both amused and confused. "Xiaoqing, you invited me to be a laborer to pull a cart, and you even invited me to be a weapon for your man... What happened to the sisters' agreement to be of one mind? No, I have to punish you!"
As she said that, she tickled Xiaoqing, who was so nervous that she giggled and begged for mercy. Seeing that Xiaobai was unyielding, Xiaoqing fought back and tickled Xiaobai. Soon, the two sisters were laughing and making a scene on the bed.
……
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
This kind of weather should make people feel refreshed.
But whether it was Ouyang Feng, Xiaoqing or Xiaobai, they all felt extremely uncomfortable. Even the breeze that should have been gentle and dry made them have an lingering feeling of coldness and stickiness when it touched their bodies.
This is the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.
A world that feels like it is slowly dying and rotting.
"What the hell is this place?"
Xiaoqing folded her arms, rubbed her arms and shuddered, "It doesn't look like this is a place for good people."
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many good people here."
He looked at the green hills in the distance and said, "Let's go and take a look over there."
The three of them did not fly, but used their skills to fly towards the other side of the mountain. When they got close to the green mountain, they actually saw a small town.
There was a rammed earth wall outside the city. The wall looked like it had been repaired a long time ago. It was not only covered with cracks and overgrown with weeds, but also had several large gaps.
But this is not an abandoned city. From afar, one can see human figures going in and out of the gaps in the city walls.
"There are still living people in this damn place!"
Xiaoqing expressed surprise, "How did they survive?"
"If you are vicious enough, you can live."
Ouyang Feng said lightly.
In his spiritual vision, the sky above the small town was shrouded in a black and red aura, as if black clouds were covering the sky.
But that was not some demonic aura, but pure evil and hostility.
The source of this is the humans in that small town.
The evil spirit and hostility emanating from the humans in the city gathered together and condensed into a "evil cloud" that only appeared in the spiritual vision.
This is enough to show that the small town is probably full of evil spirits and there is not a single good person.
This is also consistent with Ouyang Feng's observation of this world.
In this world, humanity has fallen into depravity, the universe is turned upside down, yin and yang are in disorder, and demons and ghosts are rampant. If ordinary people want to survive, they really have to be extremely cruel.
At least the "evil cloud" above the city is enough to make ordinary demons and ghosts retreat.
Of course, for big monsters like Xiaoqing and Xiaobai who have awakened some of their blood potential, the evil cloud would at most make them feel a little uncomfortable.
The three of them walked towards the city gate openly along the dirt road covered with ruts and cracks.
When they were still some distance away from the city gate, several malicious glances had already fallen on them.
Sitting at the gate were several men who were either soldiers or bandits. Their clothes were dirty and dusty as if they had not been washed for a long time. Their hair and beards were messy and their faces were full of flesh. They stared at Ouyang Feng and the other two men fiercely. It was obvious that they had regarded the three well-dressed men as fat sheep. When the three men arrived at the gate, the men stood up and blocked them.
"City gate tax!"
The burly man in the lead, with his shirt front open and a large patch of chest hair showing, grinned at the three men, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and spread his big hand with black mud between his fingernails in front of Ouyang Feng.
Several sturdy men behind them stared at Xiaoqing and Xiaobai with ill intentions, with obscene and greedy smiles.
Ouyang Feng said calmly:
"how much is it?"
"Ten taels of gold." The big man raised his index finger: "Ten taels per person."
Xiao Qing was already very unhappy with the looks from those burly men. When she heard this, her eyebrows immediately turned upside down and she scolded:
"Ten taels of gold per person? Why don't you just go and rob them?"
"Isn't Grandpa robbing me?"
The leading burly man chuckled, looked at Xiaoqing, then at Xiaobai, his eyes full of greed:
"If you can't pay, just let these two girls play with us. When we have enough fun, we will let you in. Not only will we let you in, we will also protect you. Guobei County is not a good place. A pretty boy like you, with two tender girls, will be eaten alive by the wolves in the city within a day. But we can keep you safe. How about this deal, isn't it?"
The big men burst into obscene laughter.
Xiaoqing was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but want to pick up the sword and chop people. Xiaobai also frowned slightly, and her pretty face turned cold.
"Is this the county seat of Guobei? You have found the right place. Thank you for letting me know. I will give you a quick death..."
Ouyang Feng nodded happily, took out the Five Poison Banner, waved it gently, released a black smoke, and pounced on the big men. In just a moment, the black smoke drained all of the big men's energy, their flesh and blood withered, and they turned into mummies.
The corpse fell to the ground and quickly turned into ashes. Not only the body turned into ashes, but also the clothes and weapons.
It was the first time that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai saw him kill someone. Seeing him turn several big men into ashes without saying a word, the two sisters felt relieved, but they couldn't help but be a little dazed.
—Ouyang Feng usually looks quiet and easy-going, like a hermit who does not care about worldly matters, but I didn't expect that he would be so decisive and ruthless when he started to fight.
"Let's go."
Ouyang Feng put away the Five Poison Banner, called out to Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, and walked towards the city gate as if nothing had happened.
Xiaoqing and Xiaobai came to their senses and hurried to catch up. Xiaoqing took two quick steps, gently tugged at Ouyang Feng's sleeve, and asked:
"Your……"
"What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Qing didn't know what she wanted to ask. She hesitated for a while and shook her head:
"No, it's nothing."
“I was very fierce when I was a teenager.”
Ouyang Feng smiled and said leisurely:
"Because I was still very weak at that time, I always felt that my situation was not safe enough. If I was not fierce, I would not be able to stand firm and would be bullied. So when I was young, I killed people without hesitation. However, as I grew older and my cultivation became higher, I became more confident and my state of mind gradually became calmer. I was no longer as fierce and cruel as before."
He looked at Xiaoqing and Xiaobai and said, "If you saw me as a teenager, you probably wouldn't believe it. I am the same person as I am now."
You are also very fierce and cold now!
Without saying a word, he turned the person into ashes!
He just looks quiet and easy-going on the surface, like a kind person.
Xiaoqing muttered to herself.
However, she still felt happy that Ouyang Feng stood up for her and Xiaobai and instantly wiped out those evil guys who had evil intentions towards them.
At this time Ouyang Feng said again:
"What the evil man said just now is right. This Guobei County is indeed a ferocious place full of wolves. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, you are too outstanding in appearance and figure. I am afraid that you will cause too much trouble. Although eliminating evil is to promote good, it is already difficult for people to survive in this world. I don't want to massacre the city... So can you become a little more ordinary?"
Xiaoqing and Xiaobai also know the art of transformation.
However, that was only an illusion at the level of light and shadow, not the kind of "fake shape" technique like Liu Sheng Piaoxu's that could completely change the body structure.
This kind of light and shadow illusion cannot deceive a cultivator with advanced skills, but it is more than enough to deceive ordinary people.
At that moment, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai each made hand gestures and cast a spell, and in a blink of an eye, they were covered with a layer of illusion disguise.
In Ouyang Feng's eyes, they are still the radiant young girl in green and the beautiful lady in white.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, they have turned into two ordinary-looking female swordsmen with agile figures, long swords in hand, cold brows and cold eyes, following Ouyang Feng on the left and right, like the young master's bodyguards.
The three of them passed through the city gate and came into the city. What they saw was a dilapidated scene. The houses were all old and broken, and the streets were bumpy and full of sewage.
But there are quite a lot of people in the market, and there are pubs, teahouses, and various shops.
However, almost every pedestrian on the street was carrying a sword and had a fierce look on their face. There were almost no women or children. Occasionally, a few women were seen, but they were all big and strong with flesh on their faces, and they walked in a reckless manner.
Ouyang Feng, who was well-dressed and looked harmless, looked like a lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves when walking on this kind of street. It was impossible for him not to attract attention.
However, the swordsmen transformed by Xiaoqing and Xiaobai looked very tough, which effectively deterred the evil people on the street from making moves.
The three of them wandered around the city for a while, and found a teahouse to sit down. After the waiter with a long sword on his waist served them tea and snacks, Ouyang Feng took out a piece of silver and threw it to the waiter, asking:
"I heard there is a Lanruo Temple on the mountain outside the city, and it seems to be haunted?"
Pu Du Ci Hang is dead, the era of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian should have passed, and the tree demon grandma of Lanruo Temple was also severely injured and sealed by Yan Chixia.
However, the tree demon was not killed. It revived again a hundred years later, and was finally killed after meeting Zen Master Baiyun and the second generation Yan Chixia.
Ouyang Feng didn't know what era it was now, or whether the tree demon grandma had revived, so he had to find out first.
The waiter took the silver, bit it, looked at the tooth marks on it, put the silver into his sleeve with a smile on his face, and said with a nod:
"Thank you for the reward! You came to the right person to ask me. To be honest, Lanruo Temple has been haunted since the beginning of this year. Two months ago, a group of strong men from other places heard from someone that there was a treasure in Lanruo Temple, so they went up the mountain to look for it excitedly. In the end, none of them came back alive. Until now, even the locals in Guobei County dare not go up the mountain at night."
Ouyang Feng laughed and said, "So the locals still dare to go up the mountain during the day?"
The waiter laughed and said, "Ghosts are afraid of the sun. It's fine to go up the mountain during the day, but you'll die if you go up the mountain at night. Speaking of which, yesterday an old monk and a young monk passed by the county town. Because they had no money to stay in a hotel, they stayed at Lanruo Temple. They haven't come down the mountain yet, so I'm afraid they must have died on the mountain."
An old monk with a young monk?
Zen Master Baiyun and the one who deceived the master Shifang?
Ouyang Feng nodded thoughtfully, sent the waiter away, and said to Xiaoqing and Xiaobai:
"Go up the mountain in the evening and meet the demon in Lanruo Temple."
