Although this sounded a bit wrong, Lu Zhengyi was also serious in surprise.
There were more than a dozen scholars missing from the town at one time, no matter how you looked at them, most of them should have died.
Noriko was also missing for four days, and it stands to reason that there is little chance of surviving.
but……
Now that he is alive, Lu Zheng doesn't mind meddling with his own business. After all, he just kidnapped some scholars in a remote town, at most some little demons and little ghosts.
"It's about a dozen miles to the west of the north of town, where is it?" Lu Zheng turned to the innkeeper.
When the shopkeeper with a mustache heard the words, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, "A dozen miles to the west of the north of town?"
"Yes!" Lu Zheng nodded, "What, is there a problem?"
The shopkeeper swallowed, "That's Lijiabao... It's been abandoned for decades..."
It is probably a section of a wealthy family in Xiahe Town a hundred years ago, and then gradually declined, and finally the descendants scattered and the family land fell.
"It is said that seventy years ago, the last dozen or so people who lived in Lijiabao suddenly disappeared, and then because of the remote terrain, no one has ever been there again. People who have been there occasionally come back and say that the place is terrifying. Kindly..."
"Okay, I know." Lu Zheng nodded.
It didn't run away, it is estimated that it was not a ghost from outside who found that this feng shui treasure land was occupied, or that the ghosts of the Li family had successfully come out of the mountain.
"Let's go and have a look!"
The four of them said goodbye to the shopkeeper and immediately left the town, heading north.
...
"Where did the ghost come from, how dare you rob the old lady for a man!" Hu Cainiang pouted, she also left her own breath on Ji Zizhen, and it is reasonable to say that ordinary foreign objects can be seen.
"Wait a minute, Qingyan, don't take any action, let me see how good that ghost is!" Hu Cainiang said confidently.
"Okay..." Liu Qingyan agreed, but didn't insist.
However, as soon as a few people arrived at a col, they saw a group of people walking out of a ruin not far away.
"Master You? Sister Du?"
The two leaders turned out to be You Che and Du Huanzhen from Yisi, Yizhou Town.
Behind them, there were four or five pale and frail scholars, all of whom were swinging at their feet, and Noriko was really among them.
"Master Lu?"
Du Huanzhen's eyes lit up, he greeted him with a smile, glanced at the three girls beside him ambiguous, and then winked at Lu Zheng, "Why are you here?"
"Cai Niang?"
When Ji Zizhen saw Hu Cainiang, tears welled up in her eyes, she wanted to rush up, but she almost fell after taking a step.
Hu Cainiang shook her head helplessly and stepped forward to support him.
"Huh?" Du Huanzhen looked at Hu Cainiang and Ji Zizhen, then looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng first took Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying to meet the two, and then made a long story short, probably clarifying the relationship between Hu Cainiang and Ji Zizhen, and then asked, "A ghost of a hundred years, how can you labor, sister, you and Lord You shot together. ?"
"It was a misunderstanding." Du Huanzhen shook his head, "We thought it was from the Southern Border Goddess Cult."
"what?"
"The southern border has been restless recently, and many sects have sneaked into the Central Plains to cause disaster, among them the goddess sect." Du Huanzhen said, "The behavior of this ghost is a bit similar to the goddess sect. We thought that the goddess sect had sneaked into the ritual. The state is over, so we came here together, but I didn't expect it to be."
"Oh!" Lu Zheng nodded.
If it is the invasion of the Southern Border forces, then it makes sense.
The family's base is not in Jingchao, so they can play nonsense without any scruples. Don't you see Yuan Shengjiao came to find a substitute for the saint at that time, and the troubled Zhenyi Division made a big move.
Yuan Sheng Sect is looking for a substitute for a saint, and Goddess Sect is looking for a man to **** yang. Why do they all rely on foreign objects?
"It's just a hundred-year-old ghost who killed more than a dozen scholars and was killed by us. These are the leftovers. Yuanyang has also lost most of it, and it won't recover in a year and a half. I thought about it."
Du Huanzhen looked at Hu Cainiang and Ji Zizhen as if pointing.
...
After all, Hu Cainiang and Ji Zizhen still have a day of dewy love, so let's send Ji Zizhen away first.
Lu Zheng and Du Huanzhen sent the scholars to Xiahe Town before they left together.
"There is Yuansheng Sect in the front, and Goddess Sect in the back. Do the sects in Southern Xinjiang often sneak into the big scene?" Lu Zheng asked with some doubts.
"Generally, they are active in the south, and rarely go deep into the Central Plains, unless they are not planning to go back, or there are extremely important things, such as the last time to find the body of the saint."
Du Huanzhen introduced, "Although the southern border is relatively chaotic, and most of them are at odds with our dynasty, the competition and hatred between them are not small at all, so the pressure on us is much less than the northern border.
It's just that the southern border is a place of smog, and the land is dangerous and sparse. Whether it is the barbarians in the mountains or the evil ways of various roads, the threat to the mortal people is not small. "
You Che suddenly said, "There seems to be a change in the southern border a few years ago. Many big people died or fell into silence, but they have recovered over the years."
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]
Lu Zheng blinked, "Dajingchao has no spies in the southern border?"
Du Huanzhen said with a smile, "Have you read too many picture books? The leaders of the major sects in southern Xinjiang are all people who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years. Who can detect what happened between them?
You must know that Even if we are the master of the Zhenyi Division in Zhongjing, we would not dare to go deep into the southern border. "
Lu Zheng couldn't help but be speechless. Well, he's going to Menglang, but he doesn't care. After all, what does the matter between the big forces have to do with his little layman?
In addition, Lu Zheng's eyes flickered, a big man who has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, is this the upper limit of this world?
There are still many doubts in Lu Zheng's heart.
When did the way of cultivation in this world begin?
Are there any people or demons who first started cultivating?
Why is this world so similar to China's ancient times, and there is still Buddhism and Taoism?
Do characters from myths and legends exist? Where is it if it exists?
These problems are actually not problems in modern times, because modern times are a technological society.
In this world alone, it's not really a big problem, isn't it the first ancestor of cultivation.
But in Lu Zheng's eyes, the problem is very big.
Although there are still many puzzles, Lu Zheng almost subconsciously noticed that there is a higher existence above the earth and this world.
so……
The corner of Lu Zheng's mouth raised a smile, looking at it for a long time, it doesn't seem to be a dream?
In terms of vision, he may have seen farther than many experts in this world.
What's more, he's a genius!
after all……
"Yuyin, when my brother is stronger, I will take you to see the scenery with higher knowledge and see if there is any Pantianyin in this world, and then touch it to see who is the strongest between you and Fantianyin!"
Yuyin, "..."
