On the broad Jinliu River, a darkness thicker than night spread like mist, and countless paper lanterns on the river were extinguished in an instant.
Everyone on the shore who saw this scene was horrified.
I don’t know who shouted: “Ghost!”
Everyone reacted and hurriedly screamed and moved away from the river. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
A stampede was about to happen, and the thick darkness had already reached the shore.
When people were swept by this darkness, they suddenly lost consciousness and lay staggering on the ground. The things he was holding were scattered all over the floor.
The darkness continued to spread, filling the streets and liquor stores...until the entire city was enveloped in this darkness.
Everyone fell into a slumber, and the entire Langcheng seemed to have become a dead city.
In the Golden Willow River, a woman slowly rose from the water. Her whole body was wrapped in thick black wet long hair, only a pale face was exposed.
It wasn’t until the next day that Shen Yizhi learned about the strange events that happened in Langcheng.
gan Wu went to Langcheng to deliver goods as usual, but when he arrived at the city gate, he found that the city gate was closed, and there was no one guarding the city wall. There was no sound from the city, which seemed abnormal.
He then used his Qinggong skills to jump up to the wall and take a look.
This look really startled him.
On the city walls and in the streets, people were lying all over the place.
He stepped forward and checked the breath of these people and found that they were not dead. He looked at their bodies and found that they were not injured, but had just fallen asleep.
However, no matter how much he pushed and shouted, these people did not wake up, as if they had died from sleep.
The situation was so weird that he was afraid that he would get caught up in it. After weighing the situation, he decided not to enter the city. Instead, he turned around and left quickly, planning to go back as soon as possible to report the situation to Miss Shen.
At this moment, a man walked out of the city out of thin air.
It is Master Changfeng.
Shen Yizhi was having breakfast with the four little ghosts when Gan Wu and Master Changfeng came in.
“Master Changfeng? Are you ready for dinner?”
Changfeng's eyes moved and landed on the dining table. He smiled slightly and said, "I happen to have an empty stomach, so I'm here to bother Donor Shen."
While eating, Changfeng told her about the strange events that happened in Langcheng.
"The poor monk suspects that there is a ghost at work, but the power of this ghost cannot be underestimated. It can actually make people in a city fall into sleep at the same time. Is Donor Shen interested in going to investigate with the poor monk?"
Last night he was meditating in the temple and suddenly noticed that there was a strong ghost energy in Langcheng, so he went to find out.
However, when he arrived at Langcheng, he was blocked by the ghostly energy that had almost condensed into substance and could not enter.
It was not until morning that the ghostly energy gradually became thinner.
However, when he entered, he only saw a city full of people sleeping on the ground, and found no clues. I happened to find Qian Wu and came to Shen's house with him.
Shen Yizhi put down his chopsticks, nodded and said, "Okay, I will go and see what happens with Master."
Although she has no ambition to help the world and the people, the incident happened in Langcheng, which is dozens of miles away, and there are many acquaintances in the city, so she should go there anyway.
Shen Yizhi made some preparations and gave Zhang Lingche a few words: "Master, Qing Bao and the others will be left to you."
Zhang Lingche rubbed his chin: "Actually, I really want to visit Langcheng..."
Shen Yizhi raised three fingers: "You are allowed to eat three cups of ice cream today."
“I want strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.”
"OK."
Zhang Lingche waved his hand towards her: "Okay, go ahead, leave Qing Bao and the others to me, there will be absolutely no mistakes."
While on the road, Changfeng couldn't help but ask: "What is that ice cream?"
Shen Yizhi took out a glass and asked, "Master, do you want to try it?"
Changfeng took it and said, "That poor monk is disrespectful."
He picked up a small spoon, took one spoonful and put it into his mouth, and then another. Before he knew it, he had finished one cup.
Touching Shen Yizhi's smiling eyes, he coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "This ice cream tastes really good, it's ice cold, and it's quite refreshing. It's perfect to eat at this time. If I could have one cup every day, I would be a poor monk at night. I won’t be able to sleep anymore.”
These words can be said to be a hint of madness.
Shen Yizhi did not disappoint him and directly took out a large bucket, "Master, if you don't mind, please accept it."
Changfeng took it and put it into his storage bag, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."
Tianzhou was very fast, and it reached the sky above Langcheng in just a few words.
Shen Yizhi controlled the sky boat and slowly turned around. There was no sound of people in the whole city. Only cats, dogs, chickens and ducks could be seen occasionally. However, in such a strange and silent atmosphere, these domestic animals also changed. I was so uneasy that I didn't dare to speak out.
Shen Yizhi and Changfeng looked at each other, slowly lowered the sky boat, and flew close to the ground.
Although the weather is still very hot, letting these people lie on the ground is not an option.
Shen Yizhi released several puppets from the space and asked them to move those lying on the ground to the nearest house.
“Master, why don’t we split up and check it out?”
“Also good.”
Finally, the two of them came to the Jinliu River together.
"This place has the strongest ghost spirit." Changfeng looked at the river, formed a "卍" Buddha seal, and printed it towards the river.
However, the closer the Buddha's seal is to the river, the slower it becomes, as if it is bound by an invisible force.
At the same time, a stream of black smoke came up, corroding the Buddha's seal until the golden light dimmed.
When the Buddha's seal came into contact with the river surface, the golden light had been completely corroded and its power was greatly lost.
This ghost is not simple!
Shen Yizhi was secretly shocked.
Although Master Changfeng’s attack just now was just a test, his Dharma is profound. It would be good if ordinary ghosts were not burned by his Buddha’s seal. How could he completely suppress the Buddha’s seal in turn?
“Go away! Otherwise, don’t blame my subordinates for being ruthless and asking all the people in this city to be buried with me!”
The black river was bubbling, and a cold and cruel voice came from the depths.
It is a female ghost.
Shen Yizhi and Chang Feng did not dare to act rashly anymore. After all, the lives of the entire city were indeed in her hands.
Shen Yizhi took Changfeng to the small courtyard he had built in the city.
She hasn't been here for a long time, and the formation she originally set up stopped working because no one was taking care of it. She reinstalled the spiritual stone at the center of the formation to get the formation up and running again.
After a while, the yard inside and outside will become tidy and clean.
It was almost noon, Shen Yizhi took out ready-made food from the space, and the two of them discussed countermeasures while eating.
Changfeng said: "The poor monk observed that although the female ghost was very violent, she was not stained with any wrongdoing."
It is not stained with injustice, that is to say, the female ghost has not harmed anyone's life, which is very rare.
“When a ghost stays in the world, it’s usually because she has an obsession that she can’t let go of. If her obsession can be relieved, she might be willing to be reincarnated.”
