Chapter 152
152 Chapter 50-a storm is coming! [ 2in1 ]
“That little shepherd boy is called Ma Liang. He’s only eleven or twelve years old.”
“Perhaps it’s because I’ve been lonely since I was young, so I’m more mature. However, it’s rather strange that he was able to escape for so many days under the inescapable net of the Yamen and the Imperial court.”
“The last place he appeared in was this Xuling County. The Yamen quickly sealed off the entire County, only allowing people to enter and not exit. We’ve been investigating for three whole days, but we still haven’t found any traces of him.”
When Li Chu followed Chen Huaji to Ling County, it was almost dusk. Chen Huaji stood on a high slope outside the county and told Li Chu about the current situation.
“Many of the ghosts and monsters he drew the other day are now hiding in this County. Who knows when they will cause trouble. Chaotian que is currently doing their best to investigate, and they will kill anyone they find.”
“It’s just that Wufu’s ghosts and monsters seem to have escaped his control.”
Li Chu listened quietly, deep in thought.
“Then where does the shepherd boy live?” he asked after a while.
“A village in Ling County.” what’s wrong? ” Chen Huaiji felt a little strange.
“I want to go and take a look.” Li Chu said.
“Oh, okay.”
In any case, Banshan Village was not far from here, and the two of them were very fast, so they arrived in a short time.
They arrived at Ma Liang’s former residence, a small grass house that had almost collapsed. It could be seen that his life in the past had not been good.
However, on the walls and floor of the thatched house, there were many traces of drawing using charcoal or tree branches. It was quite exquisite. It was indeed a shepherd boy who liked to draw.
Next to the thatched house was a row of cattle fences, which were also empty at this time.
“Where are the cows he raised?” Li Chu asked.
“The main family probably took it away, right?” Chen Huaiji thought for a moment and said. After all, the cows he raised were also the owners “coffins. No, it seems that on the day he went missing, he opened the cattle pen and let the cows run away on their own. I can’t remember clearly, coffins.”
He scratched his head. After all, ordinary people would not pay much attention to this.
The reason why Li Chu asked was because his master had secretly reminded him before he left.
A shepherd boy was brought into a mysterious cave by the old bull in the wind and rain. He obtained a divine brush.
In this story, everyone’s eyes were focused on the shepherd boy and the brush.
Yu Qi ‘an reminded him to find the old bull if he had the chance.
It might even be more precious than the divine brush.
Thinking about it carefully, if the cave was so easy to enter, the shepherd boy would not have had the chance to obtain the brush.
The bull that was able to enter was indeed somewhat mystical.
Unfortunately, he was gone.
In the thatched house, there was another wall that was strangely empty at this time. However, there was still the smell of poor quality ink. When he swept his mind over it, it was also gloomy.
Chen Huaiji explained. At that time, Ma Liang’s main family had heard that he had such a divine brush and wanted to seize it. Ma Liang drew some ghosts on the wall and asked them to deal with the landlord.
Who knew that as soon as those ghosts were born, they seemed to be out of his control and directly slaughtered the landlord’s family, even implicating a few nearby families.
Those ghosts seemed to be able to become stronger by sucking blood, and they were very dangerous.
While they were talking, the two of them had already returned to Xuling County.
In the night, the small county was very quiet.
The Yamen had already reported that there were ghosts and monsters in the city recently. If there was nothing important, don’t go out. Close your Windows at night and be on guard.
As a result, the people in the city were in a state of panic, and not many people dared to go out on the streets even during the day.
Li Chu opened his mind and instantly covered the entire County. He could sense dozens of ghosts and monsters scattered around, but Ma Liang’s existence was no different from that of a mortal. He could not find him.
He opened his eyes and shook his head at Cheng Mingji.
“It’s not possible?” Chen Huaiji was a little disappointed. I don’t know where this kid is hiding. The Yamen has dispatched many people to search every house in the city, but they can’t find him.
Li Chu calmly analyzed,”we can make two assumptions. One is that he has left Ling County through some unknown method.”
“That’s impossible.” However, after a pause, he was a little unconfident. it’s 80% impossible, unless he can turn into a fly, hehe.
if that’s the case, we won’t be able to handle it either. So, we can only stick to the second hypothesis. Li Chu continued.
“He is in Xuling County.”
“Then there are a few other possibilities if they can’t be found. For example, he used some method to change his appearance. He has some special concealment technique. He is hiding in a place where no one can find him.”
“If we think about it this way, there are too many uncertain conditions, and we can’t start at all. Unless Yingluo can find a certain condition.”
“What conditions?” Chen Huaiji still had a confused look on his face.
Li Chu sighed to himself. He did not seem to have been able to match up to his teammates with high intelligence.
“This condition must be necessary for him, such as food and water. However, these things are necessary for everyone, so it’s not easy to distinguish them. If we want to find him, we have to have something that he needs, something that ordinary people don’t need, as a basis for our search.”
Chen Huaiji was dumbfounded.
“Ink,” Li Chu muttered,”he uses a divine brush to draw, so he also needs ink.”
“Oh …” Chen Huaji suddenly realized.
“Xuling isn’t a big County, so there won’t be many scholars in the entire city. The group of people who will buy books and ink is more fixed. Go to The Writing Shop and check the strangers who have bought ink recently. Maybe you will find something.” Li Chu concluded.
“Yeah!” Chen Huaiji punched his left hand with his right fist and laughed.”You make it sound very ordinary and simple, but it’s hard to think about it.”
“It’s not difficult,” Li Chu replied,”it’s just that you didn’t do enough questions. As long as you practice hard, you will be able to master the solution.”
“Diligently practice the clear and tender Lotus? Liu Qinglian?” Cheng zhiji was stunned. are you talking about miss Liu? ”
Li Chu shook his head helplessly.
The poison attacked the heart.
He was hopeless.
……
However …
Li Chu did not think that he would be the first to think of this.
There were many capable people in the Imperial court, so someone must have already taken action. If all of their disciples had the same level of intelligence as Chen Huaiji, then Chaotian que, the twelve celestial sects, would have abdicated long ago.
Perhaps the results would be out tomorrow or the day after.
Tonight’s top priority was to get rid of the ghosts and monsters hiding in the city.
The two of them were just about to move when they heard a humming sound from the north of the city, shaking the vast sky!
Chen Huaji’s expression changed. it’s the cloud piercing arrow of our skyward court. Someone is in danger!
“One cloud piercing arrow, and thousands of soldiers and horses come to meet!”
Li Chu did not have the time to complain about this cliché slogan and followed Chen Huaji.
It was as fast as lightning.
He could see that there were Five Ghosts gathered in that direction!
A xiuzhe presence was surrounded by them.
Boom–
A courtyard wall was smashed through.
A disciple of the heavenly imperial court stepped on a flying sword and rushed out. At his side, over a hundred silver lights flickered and protected him.
Hundred sword scroll!
These sword radiances were all so real that they flew around him.
However, there were a few shadows that were moving at an extremely fast speed. They scurried around and suddenly charged over. A few flying swords pierced through them, but the black shadow did not care.
“Roar!”
Seven or eight flying swords pierced through the black shadow. The black shadow only let out a sharp roar as its body was pierced, but there was no blood, only a few drops of black ink.
Looking at its body, it looked like a giant bat with wings that were more than ten feet wide!
When the bat got close to the xiuzhe’s body, a pair of iron hook-like claws extended, wanting to grab his shoulder.
The two fingers of the heavenly imperial court’s disciple formed a line and he shouted,”Swish!”
Boom–
A blazing fire was pushed out from his hand, blasting the bat ghost a few feet away.
But at the same time, a few other ghosts that looked like wolves, Tigers, and leopards, each with a long pair of wings, broke through the sword formation and pounced over!
The heavenly Imperial Gate disciple complained incessantly.
Originally, he had only discovered the shadow of a ghost today. He was greedy and did not immediately call for his fellow disciples, but chased after it alone.
He didn’t expect that there were Five Ghosts hiding in the courtyard!
Moreover, each of them was much stronger than the ones they had encountered before. The strength of these ghosts had clearly been increasing!
He released the humming arrow and broke through the encirclement. Although his speed was also very fast, he didn’t know if he could hold on until his fellow sect members sent reinforcements.
Life and death could be decided in a flash!
He knew that as long as he moved around in the alleys and houses for a moment, he would be able to hide from these things with the terrain. His chances of survival would be very high.
However, behind the wall that he had just broken through, he heard a child’s cry!
terrible.
Once the people were implicated, they would die a thousand deaths!
With this thought, he gritted his teeth and resolutely turned the tip of his sword, charging toward the other side of the wide street.
Xiu-
However, the wider it was, the harder it was to get rid of those things!
“Roar!”
A Flying Tiger descended from the sky and pounced viciously at its prey. Black Qi swirled around its claws.
He instantly lowered his body and dodged, but was caught off guard by the black gas, and instantly lost a piece of flesh!
Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
Blood splattered everywhere!
Perhaps they were stimulated by the smell of blood, the surrounding ghosts and monsters also roared!
The bat ghost had also returned, as if it had never been injured.
The chaoque disciple’s sword technique was unstable, and he fell from his sword with a plop. A hundred sword lights shuttled back and forth, catching his body. However, that was all they could do. No amount of sword Qi was enough to kill these ghosts.
To hell with it.
He cursed in his heart. Why did these things seem like they couldn’t be killed?
The next second after this thought appeared in his mind.
Li Chu and Chen Huaiji appeared on the street.
Li Chu looked at the injured xiuzhe under his claws and was about to draw his sword to attack.
Suddenly, they heard a loud and clear cry in the air-
It attracted the attention of everyone, including ghosts and monsters.
A huge night owl flashed past, as if it had streaked across a dark cloud under the moon.
Immediately, a black shadow fell from the back of the Night Owl.
Pure black clothes, pure black saber!
A sharp sword, a sharp eye!
Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz!
The moment the figure landed, the two ghosts closest to the injured man were cut in half.
Because it was too fast, it was completely undetectable.
Just what kind of movement had split them apart?
There was only a series of bangs and two balls of ink scattered in the air.
“Roar!”
The other three ghosts let out uneasy roars and retreated.
Fear.
The figure stood up.
His black cape fluttered in the wind, and his body was like a dragon. In his left hand was a black knife that was darker than ink, and in his right hand was a bright white sword that was darker than snow.
The man was armed with a saber and a sword, looking like an Army of thousands!
“Commander Zhan,” the wounded man said excitedly.
“Commander Zhan!” On the street, Chen Huaiji also smiled.
The xiuzhe that had gathered from all directions shouted in unison,”The black-robed guards of the heavenly Palace welcome commander Zhan!”
After a short second of confrontation, the three ghosts finally admitted defeat. They turned around together and ran away madly!
But could Yingying walk?
Boom–
It was as if two dragons were dashing across the long Street, bringing with them a huge sound of wind and clouds.
In the next moment, Zhan liuming had already leaped up and landed lightly on the back of the Nightingale. He stood with his head held high and his eyes were like lightning.
The Night Owl let out a long cry, spread its wings, and flew toward the moon.
A moment later, a pair of sabers and swords returned from the other end of the street and returned to his hands.
As for the three ghosts, they had already turned into ashes.
Li Chu looked up at the Night Owl.
Was this the most popular Zhan liuming in the hang Zhou Prefecture?
It was indeed very cool.
He didn’t even look at the injured fellow disciple on the ground and he had already passed out.
……
A slightly noisy night passed.
It was dawn.
In a small house in Ling County, a knock sounded.
A middle-aged man in a green shirt went out to open the door. He was staggering and as thin as a match. His hair was already white, as if he had suffered for half his life.
The door opened, and a woman in a gorgeous red dress walked in.
This woman was in the prime of her youth. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were crystal clear. For a moment, she was as beautiful as a fairy from a painting.
Standing next to this middle-aged man, he seemed out of place.
However, when she saw the middle-aged man, she immediately held his hand and said, ” “Master.”
“Hey, mo Xian.”
The middle-aged man carefully closed the door, turned around, and said with a bitter smile, ” I told you, just call me Ma Liang. Don’t call me master.
The woman named mo Xian looked at his haggardness and said, ” I’m only able to come to this world because of your creation. If I don’t call you master, do I have to call you father? ”
“Can I?” The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up as if he had thought of something happy.
pfft. the only reply he got was a soft ” pfft.
The middle-aged man walked into the room with a smile and said, ” “You’ve bought mo back?”
“Yes.” Mo Xian nodded.
The middle-aged man then showed a sincere smile. I’ll draw you a bracelet. That day, I saw many girls wearing it on the street. You should have one too.
“Master!”
Mo Xian grabbed his hand with tears in her eyes.”You can’t use that divine brush anymore.”
The middle-aged man touched his hair and said, ” “In any case, it’s already like this, it’s not like it’s lacking a little. The older I get, the harder it is for me to be discovered.”
Mo Xian sobbed. that’s true. How many years can a bangle last? master shouldn’t have wasted his life. He shouldn’t have used the divine brush to create the creature, Lao Ai.
“Now, every day that I live with those ghosts and monsters will be counted on you.”
As she spoke, she took out a sharp knife from her bosom.
“I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to commit suicide here today to reduce master’s burden.”
Seeing this, the middle-aged man did not panic and only smiled.
He closed his eyes. even if you die, I only need to draw another you. I will remember every single stroke of yours. I guarantee that I will not miss a single one.”
“Why do you have to do this?” mo Xian asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, ” “A while ago, I was still a little shepherd boy with no hope in life. I liked to draw, but I couldn’t afford a brush and ink. He didn’t even dare to talk to the girl he liked. Maybe I should have been like this forever, unable to marry a wife, unable to touch a pen,”
“It’s all thanks to this divine brush that I’m able to witness the most miraculous thing in the world. So far, you’re the one I’m most satisfied with.”
He looked at the woman in front of him affectionately.
“Mo Xian, you’re the one who made me understand what love is.”
The woman’s face turned red and she spat.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
He chuckled and shook his head. “Right now, I can only hope that Chaotian que will quickly clear out those ghosts and monsters and unseal the county. At that time, we can find a place to hide our names and spend the rest of our lives together. It’s worth it even if I have to live a few years less. ”
Mo Xian also seemed to be looking forward to such a scene and was very moved.
For a moment, they were deeply in love.
……
In a shadow that was invisible to the naked eye.
The two ghosts squatted on the ground and covered their heads with their wings, shivering.
With last night’s purge at Chaotian Palace, the ghosts and monsters in Ling County were swept away.
Even many of the evil spirits that were originally living in the county were implicated.
However, there were still two fish that had escaped the net, which was indeed a little strange.
In front of the two ghosts, there were two strange figures.
Both of them were wearing ancient long robes. The White parts of the robes were grey, and the blue parts were green. They were both wearing a strange bronze mask. One was crying while the other was smiling. The edges couldn’t be seen, it was as if it was embedded in the face.
“I know that you can sense the location of the divine brush’s owner.” The crying face said in a strange voice.
“You have to rely on him to survive, but you’re afraid that he’ll find a way to get rid of you, so you’ve been hiding from him.” The smiling man said in a strange voice.
bring us to him. I have a way to get the divine brush and let you live. The sobbing face said.
“No need to doubt, we won’t lie to you. “Because we’re from Wuwu,” the smiling man said proudly.”The neo-demon sect!”
The neo-demon sect?
The two ghosts revealed extremely horrified expressions!
Immediately.
The two of them looked at each other and communicated madly with their eyes.
What was the neo-demon sect?
I didn’t know about it.
I don’t know either.
F * ck, how come you don’t know anything?
How many days have I been born? You’re the one who doesn’t know anything!
You were born a f * cking moment earlier than me!
Then why are you so shocked?
I’m only shocked because you’re shocked.
I’m only shocked because you’re looking at me in shock.
I’m only shocked when I see you and me shocked.
I’m looking at you, I’m looking at you.
Looking at the two silent monsters who were making endless nesting dolls, the crying face seemed a little impatient.
He raised his hand and pointed.
Bang-
Before they could see what had happened, the ghost on the left suddenly exploded!
It splashed ink all over the face of the ghost on the right!
Shocked!
The ghost on the right trembled as it looked at the two masked men.
“Can you take us to the owner of the divine brush now?” the smiling man asked.
The ghost immediately nodded crazily like a beast.
……
South of Jiangnan.
By the South Sea.
It was a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
On one side of the ancient mountain where a clear spring was flowing, there was a huge nest built on the cliff by the sea! Looking at the size, even the world’s largest bird would have more than enough space to live in.
If it was in a place where people could reach, this giant nest would definitely attract thousands of tourists.
It was also only in this secluded place that it was extremely quiet.
When he arrived at the giant nest, the first thing he saw was a Taoist temple.
That’s right, there was actually a Daoist temple here.
A board with the words “mulberry tree temple” was hung at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
There was indeed a big mulberry tree in the temple, but it was unknown how it could grow on this rootless precipice.
A black-faced Daoist priest was sitting cross-legged under the tree.
He had a dark square face, and he didn’t look like a Daoist priest. Instead, he looked like an old farmer who had been working for many years.
He was meditating.
In the time it took to take a breath, two Qi Dragons spiraled over from the ocean.
A hundred birds followed.
In a moment, 7 days had passed.
It was as if not even the White cloud dog could break this quiet scene.
Until this day.
There was a knock on the door.
The black-faced Taoist priest was slightly displeased. He dispersed the two Qi Dragons and asked, ” “Who is it?”
A young man’s gentle and respectful voice came from outside the door.
“Junior Huo Zhuge is here to pay his respects!”
