Just do what you say, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan decided to find information by themselves.
After asking around, the two learned the whole story.
It turns out that after the turmoil a few years ago, although Kyoto seemed to have regained its tranquility, in Kinai, the area within a thousand miles around Kyoto, the so-called "Tuyikui" began to erupt frequently.
That is to say, farmers unite several villages to fight against the current regime by means of armed violence, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing taxes or labor.
And the owner of this mansion is also an official military attache in Kyoto. He once led troops to suppress Tu Yikui that happened near Kyoto several times.
Three days ago, Tu Yikui broke out again in a village near Kyoto, and the military officer was ordered to take people to suppress it, but he never returned. By this morning, people discovered that his family living in this mansion The old and the young suddenly died violently.
Some people said that it was because the military officer did not do good deeds, which resulted in being cursed by the gods. Of course, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan would definitely not believe these claims.
They asked the direction of the village from the mouths of these people, and then headed towards the village.
Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan were very fast. Although Jiang Lan rejected Bai Qiuran's decision to take her with Yujian, the two were still much faster than ordinary people relying on their foot strength alone.
Both of them have mastered the skills of space, and every step they take casually is a distance of hundreds of meters.
The village is not very far from the capital, about two hundred miles away, at the foot of a mountain, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan came out of the capital in the afternoon, and when it was getting dark, they had already seen the small village at the foot of the mountain. mountain village.
After coming here, I don't know if it's because of the darkening sky. The atmosphere is much gloomy, and the yin around the whole village is also quite strong, making people feel a chill.
The most weird thing is that when it is time for dinner, there is no smoke or fire in the village. It seems that there is no living person in the village.
"There are footprints on the ground."
Jiang Lan spoke softly, and then pinched a spell that Bai Qiuran had never seen before. She waved her hand and sprinkled a piece of blue light, and then these light spots gathered on the ground, covering the outline of the footprints, making those on the ground The footprints also glowed.
After finishing these, Jiang Lan noticed Bai Qiuran's gaze, and Jiang Lan smiled.
"It's nothing. It's a little trick I figured out by myself. It's used to find those naughty disciples."
"A very good idea."
Bai Qiuran praised her, then looked at the footprints on the ground.
"These should be the military officer and the troops he brought to attack the local villagers Why are there so few? There are only a dozen or twenty people, right?"
"Looking at these footprints, they should all be Ashgaru in Kyoto. Although their armor is not good, at least they are holding regular weapons, which are much better than the villagers in the village who can only fight with farm tools."
After Jiang Lan checked the ground, she said:
"And the number of people in the village should not be too many to suppress a village, or even a few people."
"There doesn't seem to be anyone in the village either."
Bai Qiuran grabbed Jiang Lan's hand.
"Come on, let's go in and have a look."
"Um."
The two entered the village. The village looked better than the village occupied by monsters that Bai Qiuran and the others saw when they first came to Fusang, but it was not much better. The village was full of low huts. , there is a larger longhouse in the middle, which may be the place where the villagers usually discuss their affairs.
The entire village was dead silent, and the footprints of military officers and ashigaru disappeared as soon as they reached the entrance of the village. Both the farmers living here and the military officers who came to crusade were all gone.
"Typical trick."
Bai Qiuran commented.
Having dealt with Xue Ling for so many years, he is also very familiar with the way of ghosts. Orthodox ghosts don't attack humans like monsters, and they even have different thinking and souls from the earth immortals when they seize their homes.
They are the spirits that are born after the complete death of creatures. They are all spiritual bodies that are born with the ability to create hallucinations. They usually use hallucinations to induce and intimidate human beings, slowly destroying the other party's psychological defenses, and letting them go to death.
Of course, there are not ghosts who are powerful enough to devour living souls directly, but even ghosts with such abilities usually choose to use illusions, which seems to be their instinct.
Don't look at Xue Ling's reckless look holding the chain, when facing Bai YuOf course, even though he was going all out, he still used his hallucinations to fight Bai Qiuran.
And this village looks like it should have become a "hunting ground" for a certain ghost.
Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan walked into the village holding hands, and the wind suddenly started to blow on the flat ground. The wind was not strong, but there was a chilling feeling in the wind.
boom!
Suddenly there was a muffled sound next to it, followed by a grunting sound. In the darkness, something the size of a human head rolled out of the shadows, but it was a clay pot.
The two of them took another two steps, and the window of a hut on the other side was blown open with a creak. When Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan followed the sound, they found a white shadow passing by the window.
""
Jiang Lan quietly moved closer to Bai Qiuran, she paused, and then asked softly:
"Qiuran, can you use your spiritual sense to find out where that ghost is hiding?"
She looked a little scared.
Bai Qiuran was a little amused by Jiang Lan's reaction, she was already an ancient immortal whose strength far surpassed that of the past, but Jiang Lan was still afraid of the things made by these little ghosts who were not worth mentioning to her.
That's right, there was no ghost world in the Age of Gods, so there were no ghosts on the earth.
Bai Qiuran answered Jiang Lan's question while thinking:
"I tried to search before I entered the village, but there was no result. Ghosts are souls that absorb grievances, a kind of spiritual body, and they usually hide in places that we can't hide, unexpectedly, so It is more difficult to find. They can even hide in dreams or thoughts, and even Zhixian must have witnessed the main body to find them. But it doesn't matter, I have experience."
Ignoring the weird and supernatural phenomena deliberately created by the ghosts around, Bai Qiuran took Jiang Lan's hand and walked straight to the longhouse in the middle of the village.
As soon as the two of them entered the room with their front feet, there was a gust of wind blowing from their back feet, and the door was closed with a bang.
The longhouse was suddenly plunged into darkness, Bai Qiuran felt Jiang Lan's hand gripping her began to exert force, and at the same time her voice came intermittently, trembling slightly undetectable.
"Qiu Ran, what are you going to do next?"
"The next step is fishing"
Before Bai Qiuran finished speaking, all kinds of debris in the longhouse suddenly flew up out of thin air and fell to the ground again.
"ah!"
Jiang Lan let out a small exclamation, and then her whole body stuck up, tightly hugging Bai Qiuran's arm.
Crack, crack, crack.
Suddenly there was a wet and sticky sound on the ground, as if a barefooted person stepped on the tatami with liquid on his feet. The two looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was something on the ground that appeared out of thin air. A series of bloody footprints.
Click!
Suddenly there was another thunderstorm outside the house. The moment the thunder light illuminated the longhouse, the two saw a woman in a bloody dress with loose long hair standing in the corner of the longhouse.
Jiang Lan's body trembled, and at this moment, a gust of yin wind suddenly caressed the cheeks of the two of them, and Jiang Lan felt a third person standing behind her, lifting her long hair.
Jiang Lan was so frightened that she screamed, and then slapped her backhand. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
