Chapter 30: Courtyard Horror. During the various
Chen Mei laughed dumbly and said: "Junior Brother Pei, you are thinking too much. The reason why this kind of spiritual wine is expensive is not only the craftsmanship, but also the main reason is that the spiritual fruit required for brewing needs a special place to grow, and it has to be cared for by a dedicated person...
For ordinary people, let alone making wine, it is very difficult to even get a few fruits to taste. Otherwise, who would have trouble with the spirit stone?"
That's right...
Pei Ling's eyes dimmed and he sighed in his heart, this way of making money is not feasible either.
Well, okay, even if it is possible, three months is not enough time to make wine.
At the banquet that day, Pei Ling was given a small cup of spirit wine. The light blue wine had a mellow aroma. He took a sip and felt a long and pungent taste in his throat. Then a flame seemed to rise in his Dantian and quickly burned to his limbs and bones!
Chen Mei beside her reminded softly: "Junior Brother Pei, use your kung fu immediately to absorb the power of the wine to avoid wasting it."
Pei Ling did as he was told, and after practicing for a week, he realized that in just a short moment, his spiritual power had increased a little.
This is still the result of a considerable amount of spiritual wine dissipating before he could grab it due to his limited cultivation.
"Good stuff...really good stuff..." Pei Ling couldn't help but glance at Chen Huan and thought to himself, "No wonder Senior Brother Chen has reached the sixth level of Qi training. Seeing this kind of spiritual wine, he was also happy."
He didn't think much about it. After drinking the spirit wine, he lowered his head to pick up the vegetables.
That night, after the banquet, Pei Ling, Chen Huan and others were arranged by the housekeeper to rest in the guest house.
The guest courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion occupies a garden in the southeast corner alone. The so-called guest rooms are pavilions and pavilions scattered among the rockery and ponds.
The housekeeper obviously arranged accommodation for them according to their level of cultivation, but when it was time to arrange for Pei Ling, Huang Xian suddenly said: "Junior Brother Pei joined the sect not long ago, and he doesn't understand many things. It's better to stay with me and Senior Brother Chen, so that we can give guidance."
he."
Hearing this, the housekeeper was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything: "In that case, Mr. Pei Ling, please stay in the small building between the two residences."
Pei Ling's words to Huang Xian were also a bit strange. After all, Huang Xian could not be said to have completely ignored him along the way, but he was neither cold nor lukewarm. Chen Mei, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic and had endless things to say every day. At this time
If Chen Huan asked Pei Ling to live with him, why would Huang Xian speak?
But then I thought about it, maybe it was because Chen Mei was too enthusiastic about him, and Huang Xian didn't want to be placed near Chen Mei?
Now all he could think about was earning spiritual stones, and he was so happy that he didn't say anything.
Because he couldn't get a good rest in the corpse cloud these days, after entering the room, he dismissed the maid who offered himself a pillow and fell asleep.
However, not long after he fell asleep, a cold breath woke him up from his sleep!
Pei Ling suddenly sat up from the bed. Before his eyes were fully opened, he had already grabbed the Yansheng knife on the bedside.
I looked around cautiously and saw the shadowy furnishings, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, except that the cold aura was getting stronger.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet. Originally, the small building was located among the lush grass and trees. After nightfall, there was a constant buzz of insects. But now, everything was completely silent. He could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.
Pei Ling was startled, and the remaining sleepiness was instantly swept away.
Without thinking too much, he suddenly kicked off and slammed into the window not far away. At the same time, he shouted for help: "Senior Brother Chen! Senior Brother Huang! Help!"
His voice echoed in the empty courtyard, causing waves of whimpering echoes. Pei Ling turned over and landed in the courtyard in front of the small building, but was shocked to find that the surroundings were quiet, as if he was the only one there.
What you see when you enter is not the vibrant garden, but a dilapidated and desolate place.
The floor seemed to have not been cleaned for many years, and thick dust had accumulated.
The originally lush flower bed is now growing a kind of black vine with snarling claws. It looks sinister and makes people subconsciously want to walk around it.
The sparkling water in the pond is now dark, and the koi inside have turned into unknown creatures with dorsal fins quickly cutting through the water. The rapid swimming is full of weirdness and cruelty.
Pei Ling's heart was awe-inspiring, and he slowly pulled out the Yansheng knife and looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, he heard a burst of soft footsteps, walking towards him leisurely. He raised his eyes and saw no one. In the midst of doubt, he lowered his eyes and suddenly took a breath: there was a thick layer of
On the thick dusty bluestone ground, there was a line of footprints, winding towards him!
The footprints were so small and so small, they looked like those of a child. Just by looking at them, they were quite lovable.
However, Pei Ling not only couldn't feel any sympathy, but also felt creepy.
He held the Yansheng knife tightly, watched the footprints coming nearby, and suddenly slashed them with the knife.
"ah!!!!"
The screams of the indistinguishable children echoed throughout the courtyard!
The sound was high and harsh. Not to mention Chen Huan and Huang Xian who lived in the pavilions on the left and right, even Chen Mei and others who were further away should have been alarmed.
But the surrounding houses were still silent, as if no one had ever lived there.
Pei Ling was shocked and confused. He actually didn't feel what Yansheng's knife hit, but the invisible thing obviously suffered a loss. The next moment, the sound of tiny footsteps could be heard from all directions.
Then a scene that made Pei Ling's scalp numb appeared: densely packed children's footprints appeared on the ground in the courtyard.
There were even traces of a baby crawling, rushing towards him like a tide.
"Ghost? Strange thing?" Pei Ling was horrified in his heart. He launched the Blood Demon Sword Technique. As his energy and blood surged, a streak of blood seemed to rise in the dusty courtyard. The Yansheng Sword drew a circle with his body as the center.
A huge arc, a gauze-like blood mist wrapped around the blade of the Yansheng knife, slightly illuminating the scene. This time, he still didn't feel anything, but he could see it.
Where the blood mist passed along with the blade, there were countless translucent children, large and small, all under the age of ten, but their faces did not have the innocence that a child of this age should have at all, but revealed something indescribable.
Evil.
Pairs of eyes looked at Pei Ling, with only the whites of the eyes visible but no eyeballs. Their pale gazes were filled with extreme malice.
It was as if Pei Ling had killed their enemy.
Even when the blood mist passes through it, it disappears without any resistance like ice and snow meeting heat, but the resentful emotion does not decrease but increases.
"Senior Brother Chen! Senior Brother Huang!" Pei Ling shouted loudly while slashing in all directions, "Senior Brother Zhang! Senior Sister Xiao! Senior Sister Chen! Are you here? There is something weird in this City Lord's Mansion!"
The surrounding pavilions were completely silent, but in the courtyard where he lived, there was an endless stream of screams, but there were only a few more children rushing up, and they were rushing forward, fearless of death.
What the hell is going on?!
Pei Ling called for help one after another to no avail. He no longer placed his hope on others for help, but instead thought about getting out of trouble alone.
Why is the guest courtyard in the city lord's mansion where Chongming Sect disciples are in such danger?
Chen Huan and others just paid it back. He saw the Lord of Duanmu City for the first time today, and it could be said that he had no grievances with him.
Could it be that the family members of the three Li Siguang bribed the Lord of Duanmu City?!
