Volume 1 Stormy Waves Chapter 135 Weird
After about half an hour, a group of eight people finally arrived at the Baiyue Mountain Range, and Wen Changming said to Ji Liao at this time, "It's coming." β
"Hmm!" Ji Liao responded.
"Senior Brother Ji, when we arrive at the Huang family, if we feel that something is wrong, we will run away immediately. The closer he was to the mission location, the more nervous Wen Changming became, and he gave Ji Liao a word.
Ji Liao didn't bother to pay attention to Wen Changming at this time, but frowned and looked at the ground below him.
Seeing Ji Liao's appearance, Wen Changming asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Senior Brother Ji?"
Ji Liao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "Senior Brother Wen, I don't know if you have noticed, since we stepped into the sphere of influence of the Huang family just now, there has not been a single mortal in the mortal realm below?"
Not long ago, there was nothing abnormal in the mortal realm below, but after Ji Liao passed through the Huang family's sphere of influence of the Immortal Cultivator family, the scenery below suddenly changed, and the most obvious manifestation was that the figure of a mortal could not be seen.
At first, they passed by some small villages, where they were overgrown with weeds, apparently abandoned for many years, Ji Liao thought at first that it might be caused by the battle of mortals in Shendong, but after flying away for a long time, he passed by more than a dozen small villages, and even a small town, still not a single figure could be seen, they were all overgrown with weeds and beasts, and they were obviously completely deserted.
Wen Changming's brows were also furrowed, as if he was reminiscing, and after a while, he said with a solemn expression, "It's really as Senior Brother Ji said, it seems that there hasn't been a living person since just now." β
Ji Liao's expression was solemn, thinking in his mind, according to common sense, this is an impossible situation, although the villages he passed by have been deserted, but he can still see signs of life, if one or two villages are like this, but there is no one in a small town, this is too abnormal, and the places where there is a Xiuxian family are basically a place where mortals gather, because the Xiuxian family will basically shelter the surrounding mortals, in case of drought, the Xiuxian family will cast a spell to rain, in case of floods, the Xiuxian family will cast a spell to block the water, in short, the mortals living near the Xiuxian family, each live in peace and contentment without worrying about food and clothingγ
But now that he is almost in the territory of the Huang family's immortal cultivation family, he can't even see a figure, there must be something hidden in this.
"Could it be the plague?" Wen Changming said with a frown.
Ji Liao shook his head and denied Wen Changming's words, "Impossible, there is a place where the Immortal Cultivation Family is located, and there will be no large-scale plague at all." β
"Then this is..."Wen Changming knew that what Ji Liao said was right, but he couldn't think of anything to hesitate to say.
"This matter is definitely not simple, I'll take a look!" Ji Liao said lightly, and then his mind moved, and the cloud head under him fell.
"Eh, Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Ji, be careful!" Wen Changming saw that Ji Liao suddenly fell into the clouds, and immediately stopped flying and shouted in midair.
At this time they happened to pass a small village, this small village, it seemed that there should have been more than fifty households, the terrain here was flat, not far from the village was a winding stream, and on the other side of the stream a large area of cultivated land had been cultivated, and it was obvious that there was a lot of food and clothing for living here.
Ji Liao fell in a small courtyard overgrown with wild grass, the courtyard was surrounded by a half-human-high earthen wall, and there were three huts in the middle of the courtyard, but the huts were dilapidated at this time, and the ridge of the roof collapsed, falling a thick layer of dust and hanging with cobwebs.
Ji Liao spread out his divine sense and swept towards the hut.
Everything in the room immediately came to his mind.
The hut was the same as normal mortal life, with a table and several chairs neatly arranged around the hall, and there was no scattered chair when fleeing.
The divine sense swept towards the cabin bedroom, and Ji Liao's brows furrowed.
But I saw that on a wooden bed, there were two skeleton shelves, these two skeletons were a man and a woman, and they looked like they should be husband and wife, and at this time, the two skeletons were covered with quilts, revealing two white deep skulls, and the flesh on their bodies was directly rotting in the quilt, which looked extremely disgusting.
At this time, the quilt covered with two skeletons squirmed, and two huge mice came out of the quilt, glanced around with their heads, jumped off the wooden bed and ran away.
"It looks like he should have died in his sleep, could it be poisoning?" Ji Liao whispered, and then his figure flashed and fell into another courtyard adjacent to it.
After the divine sense probed, Ji Liao's brows furrowed even tighter, but this time it was not two skeletons but four, two large and two small should be a couple and a pair of children, they were also covered with quilts, and they obviously died suddenly while sleeping.
"What's going on?" Ji Liaohu wondered.
Several more families were visited, and the situation was exactly the same, and it could be seen that they all died in their sleep.
"This is definitely not the work of mortals, it must be done by cultivators. Ji Liao whispered in his mouth, and then his figure flashed, and the white clouds rose into the air again.
At this time, the rest of the people also discovered Ji Liao's abnormal movements, and they all stopped retreating and looked at Ji Liao suspiciously.
"What did Senior Brother Ji discover?" Seeing Ji Liao coming up, Wen Changming asked anxiously.
Ji Liao groaned slightly, and then spoke, "The people below should have been inhabited, but for some reason these people died in their sleep, and now there are only some white bones left." β
"It's... Is it like this in every village?" Wen Changming hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Yes!" Ji Liao nodded.
At this time, Mo Xiang's eyes in the distance flashed slightly, and he summoned Xue Ling'er nearby, and whispered a few words to Xue Ling'er.
Xue Ling'er nodded, looked at Ji Liao and Wen Changming, and then urged the copper bell and flew towards Ji Liao and them.
Seeing Xue Ling'er flying away, Ji Liao and Wen Changming stopped talking and looked at Xue Ling'er one after another.
Xue Ling'er circled around the two of them, landed in front of Ji Liao, smiled playfully, and asked, "Senior Brother Ji, why did you go there just now?" Did you find something interesting?"
The corners of Ji Liao's mouth raised, "Where, it's nothing more than some abandoned villages, a few bones!"
"Oh, I see you've been exploring the village down there for so long, and you thought you'd found something valuable. The corners of Xue Ling'er's mouth lifted and said playfully.
"Hahaha, what treasures can there be in the place where mortals live, if Senior Sister doesn't believe it, you can go down and investigate one or two by yourself. Ji Liao said with a smile.
Xue Ling'er frowned, "I'm not going, what's so good about the dead." β
Glancing at Ji Liao, the copper bell jingled, and then flew back to Moxiang.
The group flew away towards the Baiyue Mountain Range again.
"According to Senior Brother Ji's meaning, the following things are the work of the immortal cultivators?"
"It should be, without waking up in your sleep, one person can kill all the people in a village, mortals don't have this ability. Ji Liao thought for a while and replied.
"How is this possible, this is the Huang family's Immortal Cultivation Family's sphere of influence, if this happens, the Huang Clan's Immortal Cultivation Family will definitely investigate to the end. β
"I don't know. Ji Liao sighed and replied.
He had a vague foreboding in his heart, that is, the Huang family was guarding and stealing, these mortals were killed by them, but what they killed so many mortals for, Ji Liao couldn't understand.
You must know that the crime of killing mortals privately is not small, especially the immortal cultivators living in the mortal realm, if they do this kind of thing, it is almost tantamount to self-destruction, not only will they be excluded by other immortal cultivators, but they will even attract the extermination of the sect forces.
After all, this is about the reputation of immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivators are not born immortals, they all come from mortals step by step, if they do this, it will cause mortals to be disgusted with immortal cultivators, and their reputation is stinky, so who is willing to cultivate immortals in the future, and how will the sect accept apprentices in the future.
Especially the Xiuxian family, which is closely related to mortals, in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the people of the Xiuxian family generally intermarry within the clan, like the Ji family, there is always a marriage with mortals.
Therefore, no matter whether it is reasonable or reasonable, immortal cultivators are all responsible for killing mortals.
Ji Liao's move attracted the attention of others.
After flying away for a long time, passing over a deserted village, Hu Lai and Fang Lei, who had been at the forefront, also dropped the flying boat at this time and landed in a small courtyard in the mortal world.
After inspecting the village below like Ji Liao, the two of them also flew back with a frown.
The two of them didn't communicate with the others, but after a few words of conversation with each other, they set up their retreat again and galloped towards the Baiyue Mountain Range.
Ji Liao and Wen Changming glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and flew away behind the team unhurriedly.
Then, Mo Xiang and Zheng Tianlong both went to the village below to investigate, and the team stopped and stopped, and the journey of dozens of miles took half an hour.
It didn't take long for the plains to become rugged, and mountain peaks rose from the ground, which was the Baiyue Mountain Range.
"Ahead is the Baiyue Mountain Range!" Wen Changming said.
"En!" Ji Liao secretly clenched his fists and nodded in response.
The range of the Baiyue Mountain Range is only more than 100 miles, and Ji Liao has a distant view and feels that the Baiyue Mountain Range is extremely steep, in which the ravines and valleys are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains are high and low without the slightest regularity.
It didn't take long for the eight of them to reach the edge of the Baiyue Mountain Range, and when they were about to plunge into it, a scolding suddenly came.
"Stop!
Several people looked nervous, and at this moment, two rays of light suddenly flew out between the two mountains.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at it, but saw two young men wearing earth-yellow robes in the light.
The two of them are not very old in appearance, but they are twenty or thirty years old, but they all have the cultivation of seven layers of qi, one of them is sturdy, tall, and has a pair of thick black eyebrows on the big eyes of copper bells, and at a glance it is a man with an extremely rough life, and at his feet is a huge long sword, the long sword is extremely sharp, flashing with a dazzling cold, which makes people dare not look directly.
The other person is seven feet tall and looks quite handsome, but there is a hideous scar from top to bottom on the right side of his face, which destroys the overall image and gives people a sense of fierceness, especially when he steps on a stone tablet magic weapon that looks like a tombstone, this stone tablet magic weapon emits a faint black light, which adds a kind of ruthless meaning to this person.
