"If you don't follow me, it will be dark soon."
Feng Feiyun's voice came from the distance.
"Umm … okay!"
Xiaoxiang initially wanted to run away, but after thinking about Feng Feiyun's insane speed, she obediently followed him.
This was an old town located on the bank of the Jin River with a black mountain behind it.
The streets of this town had existed for who knows how many years. The center of the street was clearly sunken while the roofs on both sides were still slightly protruding. The moment Feng Feiyun entered the town, he felt an unusual atmosphere.
Feng Feiyun suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the street. Flames flashed in his eyes as he activated his Heavenly Gaze to observe the atmosphere of this town. He saw a Yin and Yang current converging above the town in the form of a Yin Yang Fish that enveloped the entire town.
Of course, this was only an invisible phenomenon. Ordinary people simply couldn't see it with their naked eyes.
Only cultivators proficient in this technique would be able to see this magical phenomenon.
This was … a phenomenon created by an Enlightened Being!
It was such an ordinary town, but a Perfected Being had actually come here. Furthermore, he had even set up the Yin Yang Tai Chi Fish phenomenon above the town. Unusual, unusual!
"What are you looking at?"
Xiaoxiang blinked her beautiful eyes. Her long and curved eyelashes were very eye-catching. She looked towards the direction that Feng Feiyun was looking at but didn't see anything.
"Nothing." Feng Feiyun withdrew his gaze and continued to walk along the old street.
The town was shrouded in an unusual atmosphere. The sky was not dark yet but all the residents had closed their doors. Outside of a cocky rooster, there was no other living creature on the street.
The old woman who was worshipping the statue finally returned to the town. After seeing Feng Feiyun and Xiaoxiang, she was very surprised and kept on exclaiming: "Young people are still faster."
Under the old woman's insistence, Feng Feiyun and Xiaoxiang had to stay at her place for the night.
After nightfall, all the lights in the small town were extinguished. Only the old woman's house still had an oil lamp lit.
"The town hasn't been peaceful recently. Why are you two youngsters barging in here?"
The old woman was a little worried. She felt that if the lights were on in the house, it would attract some unclean things.
Feng Feiyun smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm actually a Heavenly Master who can catch ghosts. Why don't you tell me what happened in this town? Maybe I can help you solve your problem."
Feng Feiyun thought that the old woman would be very happy after hearing this, but he didn't expect the old woman to be even more worried, "It's useless!
Even the Buddhist immortals of Biqiu Nunnery never returned. Young man, it's better if you don't take the risk, lest you lose your life for nothing! "
"Oh!
So it's like that!
Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. Then I won't go catch the ghost. "
Feng Feiyun said again, "Auntie, why don't you tell us what happened here so that we can broaden our horizons?"
"Then I'll tell you, but you can't go no matter what." The old woman was still worried.
Feng Feiyun smiled brightly and said, "I definitely won't go."
The old woman calmed down and said, "There is a ghost village in our town. It has existed since the ancient times. Every few hundred years, it will suddenly appear. After a while, it will mysteriously disappear."
"A few days ago, Yang Laoliu came back from the town at night and saw the ghost village on the banks of the Jin River. The ghost village was brightly lit and there were many houses there.
Sisth Brother Yang was so scared that his legs went soft. He returned to town and told everyone about this. The next day, everyone went to the place he mentioned and found that it was only a field of reeds. There was no village at all. Everyone said that he drank too much and was seeing things.
But … but … "
The night was cold with gusts of cold wind blowing by.
Xiaoxiang's face was pale from fear. Her soft body slightly leaned towards Feng Feiyun's side.
Feng Feiyun asked, "But what?"
"The next night, Sisth Brother Yang was screaming in pain at home. He ran around the yard like a madman while shouting, 'Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village, Ghost Village …' His screams were even scarier than ghosts. Everyone in town was scared and couldn't sleep for the entire night.
"It wasn't until dawn that someone found Sisth Brother Yang dead in his yard. His tongue was chewed and swallowed into his stomach." The old woman's voice trembled at this point.
Feng Feiyun asked, "Then what happened next?
The ghost village really appeared? "
The old woman nodded and said, "A few nights later, someone saw the brightly lit ghost village on the bank of the river. It was still in the field of reeds. After they came back, something bad happened and they all died horrible deaths.
From then on, no one dared to go out at night anymore. "
"So it's really a ghost village … demanding lives?" Xiaoxiang thought that she wasn't a coward but she still shuddered after hearing this. It was indeed too strange.
Feng Feiyun, on the other hand, was quite interested. A village that disappeared on the bank of the Jin River would appear again at a specific time. Moreover, there were strange things in the village that would cause misfortune to befall anyone who came into contact with them.
This thing was similar to Yama's Decay Blood. Anyone who came in contact with it, even a powerful Giant, would die for no apparent reason.
A village that disappeared in the past, a phenomenon left behind by an Enlightened Being … All of these signs indicated that this village was not simple. Perhaps it was hiding a great secret.
Late at night, the old woman was sleeping soundly.
Feng Feiyun walked out of his room alone without making any noise. He wanted to investigate the ghost village at night. Maybe he would find something amazing.
"Liar." Xiaoxiang was already standing outside as if she had already guessed that Feng Feiyun would go to the ghost village by the river.
Feng Feiyun wasn't surprised at all. After all, her weak cultivation couldn't hide her actions from Feng Feiyun's divine intent.
"You want to go too?" Feng Feiyun whispered.
"If you want to go, why can't I?" She said.
"As long as you don't piss your pants from fear, just follow me … Something is going on!"
Feng Feiyun stared at the sky and saw three white rays descending from the direction of the river. They were three monks wearing white robes with powerful auras. All of them were at Heaven's Mandate.
"Looks like the monks from the convent have also noticed this ghost village." Feng Feiyun murmured.
There was no moon tonight so one couldn't even see their own fingers.
One could hear the sound of the Jin River in the distance and see a small village by the river. It was brightly lit but strangely quiet. It was truly eerie.
The three monks from the convent stood outside of the village and didn't enter. They had all sorts of magical treasures in their hands such as buddhist mirrors, wooden beads, and vajra rods … They would occasionally dig the ground and use the mirrors to look at the village.
Feng Feiyun stood even further away and became restless after seeing the ghost village.
Feng Feiyun placed his ear on the ground and listened carefully. A faint scream came from below before turning into a sinister laughter. It was intermittent and very weak as if this place was a ghost palace.
However, when Feng Feiyun used his divine intent to look down, he found that there was nothing several hundred meters underground. However, as long as he placed his ear on the ground, he would be able to hear the strange noises.
Xiaoxiang also learned from Feng Feiyun's method. She laid down on her soft body and placed her ear on the ground. She also heard the screams and sinister laughter along with other creepy noises.
"Master said that this ghost village appeared once six hundred years ago. Our Faith Convent's predecessors entered and never came out again."
"Not only six hundred years ago, I heard that this Ghost Village appeared once more than a thousand years ago. An Enlightened Master senior happened to pass by this place and used a supreme divine ability to enter the Ghost Village once. After that, that Enlightened Master senior never appeared in the cultivation world again."
"If we can find the path that Enlightened Being senior used to enter the village, maybe we can enter as well."
Among them, one of the monks exclaimed, "I found a trace left behind by that Enlightened Master senior. That senior must have entered from the northeast corner of the ghost village."
"Come, let's go in and take a look!"
The three powerful monks entered from the northeast corner of the ghost village and disappeared into an ancient forest in the village. Rustling footsteps could be heard as well.
Xiaoxiang's eyes were very bright as she whispered: "Should we follow them?"
"Wait a bit longer!" Feng Feiyun shook his head.
Not long after, three blood-curdling screams came from the village. Three beams of bloody light shot up from the ancient forest like three pillars of blood, causing the night sky to become awe-inspiring.
"Come, let's leave this place!"
Feng Feiyun quickly pulled Xiaoxiang and carried her up into the sky without caring whether she agreed or not.
The next morning, after having breakfast at the old woman's place, Feng Feiyun planned to go to the ghost village during the day. Even if the village disappeared during the day, it was impossible for there to be nothing strange underground.
However, the moment Feng Feiyun took one step out of the door, he quickly retreated and hid his aura before gently closing the door.
Earlier, he was surprised to see two familiar people on the street. It was Dongfang Jingshui and Dongfang Jingyue. Why did they come to this remote town?
Feng Feiyun didn't want them to know that he was in this town, especially Jingyue. This woman had very complicated emotions in Feng Feiyun's heart. Each time he saw her, it was as if he was looking at Shui Yueting …
