C139 Haunted?
"Haunted?" Xia Ling couldn't help but chuckle. At his level, demons, monsters, gods, ghosts, and gods had long since become a laughingstock. Now that she heard Liu Xiaolai's words, she couldn't help but find it funny.
"It's true." In the end, Liu Xiaolai was only a little girl and couldn't help but retort, "At that time, people from the Wei Family were dying for several days straight. At that time, even Pingxin City had sent people to investigate together, but there was no result."
Xia Ling couldn't help but raise his interest a little and said, "Go on."
With Xia Ling's permission, Liu Xiaolai became more and more interested in talking, "It's said that it was very strange at that time. Evil winds blew in the middle of the night, and the crying sounds are intermittent. Even the almighty cultivators at the Congealing Void level, who are guarding the Wei Family Big House at night, have let their people die! "
"... At that time, the rumors were very bizarre. What white robed ghost shadow? What fishy sea of blood. They forced the Wei Family Village to raise funds and invited people to exterminate the demons. Even precious Peerless Weapon were used as compensation. Over half of Pingxing City, all the cultivators with the ability have been attracted over! "
Liu Xiaolai then added with certainty, "That's why I remember that the heroine wanted to go there too."
Xia Ling asked: "Then half a year has passed since then, has the matter of Wei Family Village and ghosts been swept away?"
"Of course, it was swept away long ago." Liu Xiaolai answered. It was said that at that time, very capable cultivators came from the Middle North, and after a few moves, they had already wiped out all the ghosts. It was said that the reason was that a few generations ago, Wei Family had a concubine who died due to injustice. So the resentment is too great, and it has been accumulated for decades to get back at us. "
So it was like this. Xia Ling nodded as if he had thought of something. Yin Qi after death was indeed a strong material energy. If there was a huge obsession before death, it could increase the accumulation of this energy. Therefore, it was not strange for some strange things to happen there.
However, there seemed to be a problem. He frowned. If it was just an ordinary concubine, a girl without cultivation. With her yin energy, how could she hide from Congealing Void rank cultivators? If it was a normal Congealing Void rank cultivator, even if it was an elementary rank. The Qi around his body shone so brightly that ordinary ghosts could not hide themselves.
Xia Ling sighed. It seemed he still had to check it out. Even if there were no problems, he would need to find out where Xia Yanning had gone to after that.
Thinking about this, Xia Ling waved his hand and told Liu Xiaolai to get closer, "Help me prepare some things. And a horse. "
As he spoke, he took out a tea-cup sized gem from his sleeve. It was dazzling. He threw it directly at Liu Xiaolai.
"Just take this and pay up. The rest is all yours." Xia Ling said with a smile.
"Huh?" Liu Xiaolai couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. She stared at the huge gem in shock. Even though she was a child of a poor family, she did not have any concept of price for this luxury item. But after working in Jiangtong Building for a while, her horizons had greatly improved.
This gem was more than enough to buy a horse, much less a team!
Xia Ling didn't spend too much time at Jiangtong Tower. With his current skill level, he only needed a few minutes to fully recover from his long distance travel.
However, considering that this trip to Middle North was too far, he still bought a horse.
After resting, Xia Ling did not stop and went straight for the Wei Family Village outside the city.
According to the information Liu Xiaolai had given him, the "haunted event" of Wei Family Village had already been completely resolved several months ago. However, when Xia Ling got closer to the village, he felt something was wrong.
Maybe normal Vein Refining Middle Rank cultivator wouldn't be able to sense this kind of aura, but Xia Ling's perception had always been different from ordinary people. He seemed to be able to catch the trace of Yin Qi in the air.
That's a problem. If it was only the normal so-called "haunted" time, the yin aura would not have been able to exist in an open area for months.
Xia Ling's mouth curved into a faint smile. Very good, very interesting.
Liu Xiaolai said that the development of Wei Family Village in recent years was not bad, and from the looks of it, it was indeed so.
It was different from the outskirts of the city. There were no bumpy dirt roads, winding mountain slopes, or lopsided trees. Xia Ling's original home was in the suburbs as well. In Ningnan City, the city known as the largest Southern Region, even the suburbs couldn't compare to it.
When he got closer, he saw a series of houses. It was even more obvious how wealthy the people here were.
The houses were tall and neat with clean white powder and red brick and green tiles at the front. In the center of the village, there was a huge courtyard house. From afar, the clan encampment that was not even inferior to the Xia Family!
Of course, the Xia Family had already been passed down for a thousand years. The whole family had a little bit of history behind them. On the other hand, the courtyard houses here appeared to be brand-new. It was clear that they had just been recently built.
Logically speaking, in such an environment, it should be able to give people a rich and prosperous atmosphere.
But no.
His entire Wei Family Village seemed to be enveloped in a layer of faint greyness, and even the temperature seemed to be a little lower than Pingxing City. The branches were dry, ferocious, and lifeless. Even the tiny sprouts of early spring on the roadside could not be seen. It was as if it was still in the middle of winter. Silence and coldness.0
Xia Ling also saw the occasional passerby on both sides of the road. These people had their hands in their sleeves, and their faces were stiff and cold. In Xia Ling's mind, these people were also normal people. However, he had lived in the yin energy for a long time. Inevitably eroded.
Right now, there were only a few problems with their bodies. If they continued for too long, the corrosion would spread to their minds. Perhaps even the Great Firmament Golden Immortal would find it hard to save him.
This was not something that could be explained simply by spontaneously forming Yin Qi from ghosts. If a woman dying from injustice was enough to create such a strange phenomenon, then it was better for martial artists to not practice. It was better to carefully study yin and yang.
Xia Ling was almost certain that the strange phenomenon here, the so-called "haunted", was created by someone else!
However, the person who created all of this was also very rough. In the 30,000 years since Xia Ling was once active, there were also demonic cultivators who were proficient in this path and were good at using "haunted" and Yin Qi to achieve their own goals. However, their movements were extremely quick and covert. Let alone a Vein Refining rank cultivator, even if a Supreme Elder from the Essencial Core Rank passed by here, as long as they did not go through an extremely detailed examination. It was also hard to find their heads.
How could he be like this? He was acting in broad daylight and not concealing anything at all.
However, if it was man-made … Xia Ling frowned again. He didn't know whether Xia Yanning would be in danger or not.
