Chapter 404

Therefore, on the next road, Su Yi got excited, so he took his sword and walked away.

Go, rely on the virtual to control the wind, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth.

Occasionally, I will slow down and walk in a city with different styles.

Delighted, he stayed for a few days.

If you are bored, you will swept thousands of miles away.

Along the way, Yuan Heng served him, whether he was sleeping in the deep mountains and forests, or lingering in the prosperous places of the secular world.

With their cultivation base, although there were occasional disputes along the way, Yuan Heng could easily resolve them without Su Yi coming forward.

More than ten days have passed in a hurry.

The figures of the two masters and servants have already passed through seven or eight secular countries, and they have crossed countless mountains and rivers.

this day.

In the territory of Daliang, in the distance of a mountain called "Fuxianling", there is a flowing river.

On the bank of the river, is a very remote mountain village.

It was night, the river was surging, and Fuxian Ridge in the distance was like a giant, shrouded in ink-like night.

"Master, look in the distance, the nearby villagers are setting up river lanterns by the river."

Yuan Heng pointed to the river in the distance.

There are many lights lit there, men, women and children in the village, all gathered there, and put the river lanterns with candles and different shapes into the river water.

At first glance, the lights and shadows are flowing down the river, which is very eye-catching in this night.

"Is this a sacrifice to the souls of the dead?"

Su Yi asked.

Yuan Heng said: "Exactly, Master, today is the Mid-Yuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is also known as the Ghost Festival in the secular world. It is rumored that every year today, the yin qi is the most prosperous, and the ghosts scattered in the world will roam today."

"People in the secular world will put river lanterns, burn paper money, and worship the souls of the dead today, in order to stay safe."

After listening to it, Su Yi was stunned, he naturally knew about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the eyes of secular people, this is a ghost festival.

In the eyes of practitioners, this is the day with the heaviest yin qi in the heavens and the earth in the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year.

It's just that the yin qi is a little heavier, and it doesn't matter much.

"Let's go, let's go, go home, no matter who you are tonight, you are not allowed to go out! Even if you hear any movement, you can't open the door and go out, otherwise, you will be eaten by ghosts!"

On the river bank in the distance, a skinny old man shouted at the top of his voice.

Soon, the villagers all dispersed.

The night was dark, there were no stars and no moon, and in this remote mountainous area, the roar of wild beasts could even be heard in the distance.

Each villager carried a paper lantern and returned in a hurry with their children and daughters.

Suddenly, two lanterns approached Su Yi's side.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that this was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy and a seven- or eight-year-old girl.

The youth was dark-skinned and lean, with a hatchet stuck at his waist.

The little girl has a horn braid on her head, her face is yellow and her muscles are thin.

It was clearly a brother and sister, dressed in old, coarse clothes with patches.

When they saw Su Yi and Yuanheng standing in the grass, the siblings were obviously startled and took a few steps back.

The boy suddenly pulled out the hatchet, and immediately guarded his sister behind him, and said vigilantly, "Are you humans or ghosts?"

"If we were ghosts, you would be dead by now."

Yuan Heng laughed and said, "Everyone in your village has gone home, where are you two little fellows going?"

The young man remained vigilant and said, "What are you asking about?"

The little girl stuck her head out from behind the boy, looked at Su Yi and Yuan Heng with her eyes, and said timidly, "Brother, they are not fierce at all, they are definitely not ghosts."

The teenager sneered: "You don't understand, sister, those ghosts are the most changeable, they look like good people, but in fact they are the most vicious and vicious."

Just as Yuan Heng was about to say something, Su Yi waved his hand: "Let them go."

Saying that, he moved out of the way first.

Yuan Heng was stunned and retreated silently.

Seeing this, the young man hesitated for a moment before holding his sister's hand and hurried away from the side.

"Go, follow, remember, don't disturb them."

Su Yi walked in the direction the boy left.

Yuan Heng was a little puzzled, did the master notice something?

He didn't ask, and followed Su Yi with his head down.

In the darkness of the night, the boy held a hatchet in one hand and his younger sister in the other, and hurried away.

After half an hour.

The boy and his younger sister stood in front of a grassy grave.

The young man nimbly cleaved the weeds with a hatchet, repaired the lonely grave, and then took out incense candles, paper money, and a plate of sugar cakes from the cloth bag at his waist.

The young man lit incense candles, and offered sugar cakes in front of the tomb, then knelt down on his knees and said:

"Mother, my sister and I are here to see you."

Saying that, he pulled at the little girl next to him, "Sister, kowtow to your mother."

Just as the little girl was about to kneel down, she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted in horror, "Brother, ghost—!"

The young man got up in a rush, and in the darkness in the distance, a little bit of green ghost fire fluttered, faintly visible, and a fluttering white clothes flickered and appeared.

"Walk!"

The young man was so shocked that cold sweat broke out down his spine, he grabbed his sister's hand at the first time, turned his head and ran away.

But halfway through, the young man stopped abruptly.

Not far away, a group of wriggling shadows grew like vines, ghostly, with billowing black smoke, rushing towards the boy and the little girl.

The boy's face changed greatly, he suddenly hugged his sister, turned and fled in the other direction.

But soon, in this direction, a swaying white robe appeared, blocking the front.

This time, the young man could see clearly that the white-clothed ghost was a female ghost with disheveled hair, and in the eye sockets without eyeballs, there were a pair of bright ghost fires, with a pale and transparent complexion.

Swish!

The female ghost in white came slaughtered, incredibly fast.

It was too late for the boy and the little girl to dodge.

At this critical moment, the young man gritted his teeth suddenly, stood in front of his sister, and shouted: "Sister, go! Quick!"

As he spoke, he clenched the hatchet in both hands and slashed forward.

Click!

The hatchet shattered, and the boy's figure was suddenly thrown out.

Seeing that the female ghost in white didn't even look at the young man, she rushed straight towards the little girl, and a greedy and evil luster filled her bright eyes.

"Brother—help me—"

The little girl fell to the ground, her body curled up, screaming in horror.

The young man's eyes were split open and his heart was like a knife. Since his parents passed away, his sister was his only relative. Seeing this scene, his eyes turned red with hatred, and he was furious.

But he was too late to help.

Seeing that the little girl was pounced on by the female ghost in white, a cold snort suddenly sounded:

"Little ghost, dare to hurt people and seek death!"

The sound was like the thunder of the sky, full of great power.

Immediately after, a golden light appeared, piercing through the darkness of the night, dazzling incomparably.

boom!

Seeing that the female ghost in white didn't have time to dodge, her figure was like a paper paste, and it suddenly burst into pieces, turning into bursts of blue smoke and dissipating.

The boy and the little girl were dumbfounded.

The brilliant golden light was still there, and in their field of vision, a figure appeared in the field like a god descended from the earth.
