Cultivation, I have a world of high martial arts

This is a nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons.

If it falls in Jade Belt City, there will undoubtedly be only one outcome...

The monks under the pill formation may not even have time to react.

And even the monks in the pill-forming stage are in danger of death within the killing radius.

When the nuclear bomb detonates, the siege formation has no meaning at all.

Wang Lishan's idea is very simple, since the demonic siege is for blood sacrifice.

Then just kill all the mortals and monks in the city before then... What kind of blood sacrifice will be done then?

As for the so-called millions of lives in Jade Belt City, in terms of the world of high martial arts, how can they be compared to Lin Chen?

Looking at the special weapon in front of him, Lin Chen fell silent.

He really didn't want to use this thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

Not to mention that every citizen in Yudai City is a living life to him.

Just the karma generated after the massacre was too much for Lin Chen to bear...

"Alas, it seems that the purpose of this earth drilling machine... is not just as simple as digging out the city passage!"

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

…

Jade belt city, inn.

The countdown was reset and Lin Chen returned to the world of immortality.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and Lin Chen had no intention of going out, but stayed in the room to practice.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he left the inn and walked towards a brothel in the center of the city.

Don’t get me wrong, Lin Chen went to the brothel to do business!

"Based on the current situation, this siege incident is inseparable from the three strange things in the city..."

"Then let's investigate the strange skinning incident first..."

Lin Chen walked into this brothel called Tianmufang.

According to his intelligence, the first victim of the skinning incident was Mr. Zheng, the best friend of the famous brothel prostitute Nan Lingling.

Walking on the street, there are very few pedestrians.

Now in this Jade Belt City, every monk is in danger, let alone the mortals.

Walking through the deserted streets, Lin Chen walked into Tianmufang.

Compared with the coldness of the city, the business in this brothel is actually good.

Lin Chen was slightly surprised and looked towards the lobby on the first floor.

Many young and beautiful women played the piano and danced.

On more than a dozen tables, there were dozens of richly dressed men, drinking, having fun, and living in a state of intoxication...

It makes sense when you think about it.

Nowadays, the people and ghosts in Yudai City are restless. At this moment, it is better to be uneasy, worried and afraid.

There will always be people who want to have fun and enjoy themselves before they die.

"Hey, this young man... take your seat!"

Several women with heavy makeup gathered around and walked towards Lin Chen to a table in the corner.

Lin Chen didn't refuse. He sat down An Xin on the wooden table, took out two spirit stones and slapped them on the table.

"Send some good wine and good food." Lin Chen said calmly.

When they saw the spirit stone, the women who welcomed the guests knew Lin Chen's identity.

But they didn't refuse. Although there were few monks in the city, they occasionally came to the brothel to spend money.

But not many people paid the spirit stones directly. It was obvious that Lin Chen was a big fat sheep to them.

"Xiao Cui, tell the chef to cook some more good dishes, and then get the jar of sixty-year-old good wine..."

The old bustard in the building gave an order, then sat next to Lin Chen and said with a flirtatious look:

"Which girl in my building would you like to be accompanied by the Immortal? Ruyan or Qingqing..."

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"I'll eat first..."

After saying that, Lin Chen stopped responding and looked around.

Seeing that Lin Chen remained silent, the madam was afraid of making him unhappy, so she hurriedly left.

Lin Chen's heart moved, and his consciousness spread out like a tide, covering the entire Tianmufang in the blink of an eye.

In the lobby on the first floor, besides Lin Chen, there were several monks who were new to Qi refining, drinking and having fun.

Enjoying the service of the beautiful maid beside you.

Monks are also human beings, and Qi-refining monks are far from the state of abstaining from human desires and observing the Tao.

In fact, most monks only want to become a master and live a better life.

Most of the people in the hall are kids from rich families.

In addition to drinking and having fun, they also get together to chat and gossip.

Talking about the recent events in the city, it is naturally those strange things.

No, many people in the brothel are talking about it.

With the release of his spiritual consciousness, Lin Chen's five senses were particularly sharp.

Hear the chat contents of dozens of people clearly.

"Brother Liu, have you heard? Another person died last night... skinned to death! Four Qi Refining monks!"

"Tsk, tsk, there's been a lot of evil lately! Don't go out after dark...especially in the south of the city..."

"Yes! And my neighbor... I heard that I received a dream from my ancestors and wanted to visit the grave outside the city!"

"..."

Lin Chen got the information he wanted from the gossip.

"In the south of the city...the number of skinning incidents seems to be particularly high?"

Lin Chen thought silently.

He listened for a while and got the information he wanted.

"Tsk, tsk, this skinning incident was originally related to this brothel!" said a young man in Chinese clothes.

"Oh? How do you say this?" The person asking the question seemed to be a businessman from other places.

"There is a famous Liannan Lingling in this brothel. The first person to be skinned was his sweetheart, Mr. Zheng!"

The handsome young man took a sip of wine and said with the strength of the wine:

"That was three years ago! Nan Lingling was a well-known woman in Yanlai at that time!"

"That night, I heard that the young master of the Zheng family spent a lot of money that night to marry Fangze... but Nan Lingling did not sell herself as an artist."

"In the end, the young master of the Zheng family got very drunk and returned home angrily...On the second day, he was found in a skin bag at the door of Zheng's house. His bones and flesh were missing, and blood flowed all over the floor..."

"Tsk, tsk, since then, the Zheng family has invited many immortals to investigate, but no results have been found... In the end, the family moved away from Jade Belt City..."

What the handsome man said was true, and the businessmen on the side were even more frightened after hearing this.

Lin Chen sat in the corner, eating food and listening to the news.

Soon, it was getting dark.

The guests in the hall left one after another and went back to their homes, and in the blink of an eye there were only less than a dozen people left.

Lin Chen still sat where he was and did not get up.

At this time, a woman with heavy makeup came forward and asked:

"Shangxian, are you spending the night in the workshop... or are you going home? It's getting late..."

The woman looked a little anxious.

Ever since the strange incident happened, even places like brothels have not been able to keep overnight guests.

After all, if a customer drinks too much and wants to go home in the middle of the night, and ends up dying tragically on the way... it will bring bad reputation to the brothel.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I know what I know..."

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but still didn't say anything.

After a while, several brothel guards closed the door of Tianmufang.

According to the rules, after closing the door, no guests will be accepted, and guests in the building will not be allowed to leave.

Lin Chen saw that it was almost time, so he stood up.

Upon seeing this, the old bustard hurriedly came forward and said flatteringly: "Chief Immortal, which girl in the building do you like? I will let her tonight..."

Lin Chen nodded and said:

"I just heard them say that Nan Lingling is very beautiful. I wonder if I can kiss her?"

The madam's face changed slightly after hearing this, and she stammered:

"Chief Immortal, how about you find a girl instead? I'll let the top girl in the building, Ruyan, accompany you!"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows after hearing this and asked with a smile:

"Oh? But Nan Lingling is not free tonight? Do you want to entertain other guests?"

"That's not true..." The madam shook her head.

"Since you are free, why can't you accompany me? But you look down on me?" Lin Chen raised his brows, pretending to be angry.

The old bustard panicked when he saw this and quickly told the whole story.

It turns out that Nan Lingling's reputation has plummeted since the death of the Zheng family master.

The title of No. 1 in Yan Lai three years ago has long ceased...

Nowadays, he rarely receives guests, and most of the time he composes and sings songs in the backyard.

Occasionally, there are two visitors from out of town who want to be beautiful for a while, but every time they leave, they become seriously ill and haunted by nightmares.

Although it does not cause death, it is a lot of bad luck.

Over time, Nan Lingling lost her customers and was in a very bad situation. She was even secretly called a witch...

After listening to what the Madam said, Lin Chen became even more curious.

So he took out three more spiritual stones, slapped them on the table, and hummed:

"But you look down on me? Ever since I started practicing Taoism, I still don't know what to be afraid of!"

The madam hesitated for a while after hearing this.

On the one hand, she was envious of those three spirit stones, but on the other hand, she was afraid of making Lin Chen unhappy.

After thinking about it, she still said:

"In that case, then Immortal, please follow me..."

…

Lin Chen followed the old bustard to a small courtyard behind Tianmufang.

There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the yard and there is only one wing.

It looks a little shabby, but neat.

When Lin Chen came to the door, the old bustard didn't want to go in anymore and just said:

"Lingling is in the wing, the immortal can go by himself..."

She ordered two maids to bring wine and food and put them into the courtyard.

The maid hurriedly left after finishing her work...

Even the maids in the house did not dare to stay in this cold little courtyard for a long time.

"It seems like Kurama is being ignored in front of the door..."

Lin Chen smiled, took a bottle of wine, and knocked on the courtyard door.

Not long after, a woman wearing green clothes and light makeup opened the door.

This woman looked to be in her mid-twenties, with delicate features and unusually fair skin.

Especially those charming eyes, which seem to be able to enchant people...

"As expected of the woman whose name you call Dongyan, she is so beautiful!"

Lin Chen praised.

After hearing this, Nan Lingling showed a hint of shyness, opened the door and said:

"No one has come to the courtyard for a long time... Young Master, please come in!"

Lin Chen entered the room carrying a wine bottle.

The facilities in this room are old and it can be seen that they have not been replaced in some years.

But she applied a lot of rouge and gouache. Nan Lingling seems to love beauty very much.

Even if there are few guests here, she will dress up every day...

Perhaps, this was her only pleasure in this cold little courtyard.

Lin Chen looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Nan Lingling.

"I've heard about Miss Nan for a long time, and today I finally have a beautiful face!"

"It's just a matter of the past... What music do you want to listen to, Master?"

Nan Lingling's eyes seemed a little lonely and she asked in a low voice.

"You're not in a hurry to sing, why not drink two glasses of wine together first?"

Lin Chen shook the old wine in his hand.

So the two drank some wine in the house.

Nan Lingling was so drunk that she became drunk after a few drinks.

So he stood up and bowed, walked to the piano and started playing the piano.

After playing with it a few times, melodious music came, sometimes cheerful, sometimes lonely...

Lin Chen listened with interest, but actually he was observing Nan Lingling.

"There is no slight fluctuation in cultivation level on her body...this woman is indeed a mortal..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

Even with his ninth-level cultivation base, his cultivation level cannot be seen.

There is a high probability that Nan Lingling is a mortal... Of course, the possibility of being an old monster with alchemy cannot be ruled out.

But who would normally live in seclusion in a brothel?

"However, Nan Lingling seems to be a little weak... Is it because she stays in the yard all year round?"

After Lin Chen's spiritual exploration, he still found some clues.

Humans have three souls and seven souls, and the three souls are Fei Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing.

The seven souls are corpse dog, lying arrow, sparrow yin, swallowing thieves, non-poison, removing filth, smelly lungs...

They correspond to different functions of people.

Lin Chen learned the art of reading Qi. Although he was not proficient in it, he could still see the Qi of mortals.

But right now, in his perception, there was something abnormal about Nan Lingling's "corpse dog" soul.

The so-called corpse dog soul is a kind of early warning ability for mortals.

Especially when a person is sleeping, if there is danger, the zombie spirit will become abnormal.

The specific manifestation is that if you mess with dirty things... you will have nightmares!

Lin Chen saw that Nan Lingling's body was clearly over-exhausted.

It seems to be in a state of warning all year round.

"There is indeed something abnormal about Nan Lingling..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, but did not say it directly.

After three drinks, Nan Lingling played a few songs and danced two more times.

Lin Chen then touched his palms and praised:

"Miss Lingling's singing and figure are both unique in this Jade Belt City!"

"I haven't heard the songs just now elsewhere. Could it be that the girl has done them recently?"

"With such talent, it's really strange that the entrance hall is deserted..."

After hearing this, Nan Lingling trembled and managed a smile.

"It's just a piece of music that I do when I have nothing to do..."

"Young Master should have heard about what happened to me... How many people would dare to come and listen to me sing and dance like this?"

After a pause, she said curiously:

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble when you go back?"

Lin Chen shook his head, patted his chest and said with a smile:

"I'm young and full of energy, so ghosts don't dare to pester me!"

Nan Lingling was stunned after hearing this, then noticed Lin Chen's strong figure, and her pretty face turned red.

"Although you are young and full of energy, being wronged by ghosts is not good for your health... Young Master, you should go back early after dawn!"

Nan Lingling said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of hurting Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled after hearing this and joked:

"Other girls are eager for the guests to stay longer and earn more money... Why did Miss Lingling kick me out instead?"

Nan Lingling shook her head silently and played two more pieces of music.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Chen looked at Nan Lingling and said:

"Miss Lingling, have you always had trouble sleeping and are prone to nightmares at night?"

After hearing Lin Chen's words, she was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "How do you know, Master?"

Nan Lingling obviously didn't know Lin Chen's status as a monk.

So Lin Chen said perfunctorily:

"The ancestral Qi-gazing technique can reveal some faults...I think this girl's nightmare will last for a long time, right?"

Nan Lingling hesitated slightly after hearing this, maybe because she hadn't seen the guests for a long time.

So she gritted her teeth and said:

"I hope the young master will not spread the word about what I said to you today..."

"The problem with my body indeed started three years ago, that is, the day Mr. Zheng died..."

After a pause, Nan Lingling said with a shy face:

"From that day on, every three to five days, I will have dreams... erotic dreams..."

"I couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person in the dream, but it was always the same person. He was with me in the dream... I had also asked a master to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters before, but there was no way."

"It's just that I have had nightmares like this all year round... so I haven't had to worry about it for a few years..."

"But recently, the frequency of this dream has become higher and higher, and the person's methods have become more and more brutal... I can't bear it even in my dream..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's expression gradually became serious.

The art of nightmare!

This Nan Lingling is in a nightmare!

And it’s a very nasty spring nightmare!

The so-called nightmare technique is an evil technique mastered by ghost cultivators (soul cultivators), which is very unpopular.

The evil cultivator himself or summons ghosts to enter the dreamer's dream, thereby accomplishing certain goals.

This dream ghost can be a money-splitting ghost, ruining other people's wealth.

It can also be an unjust ghost, causing people to be filled with resentment and eventually die in depression.

And this Spring Dream Ghost is also one of them...

"So, why did you choose this Nan Lingling? Is the ghost cultivator who cast the spell coveting her beauty and coveting her for a long time?"

Lin Chen thought to himself that he could not rule out this possibility.

This Nan Lingling is indeed extremely beautiful, the most beautiful one Lin Chen has ever seen.

And she is naturally charming, and I feel pity for her...

Not to mention mortals, it is also a great temptation for monks.

"But what does Nan Lingling's nightmare have to do with the strange skinning incident?"

After Lin Chen thought carefully, he had no choice but to focus on Mr. Zheng.

So, Lin Chen asked again:

"Miss Lingling, I heard that the first person who was skinned was Mr. Zheng... I wonder who this Mr. Zheng is?"

"Can you please tell me, girl?"

Nan Lingling sighed when she heard this and said without concealing:

"The Zheng family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Yudai City. They have been operating in Yudai City for three generations, selling jade."

"And Mr. Zheng is a romantic man, but he has a good literary talent..."

Nan Lingling talked a lot about Mr. Zheng and the Zheng family.

After Lin Chen pondered for a moment, he asked, "Is Mr. Zheng a monk?"

"Cultivator?" Nan Lingling shook her head and said, "Probably not, I've never heard him say he went there..."

After that, Lin Chen asked some more questions.

It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that Lin Chen took out a pen and paper and wrote a prescription.

"Miss Lingling, this is my ancestral prescription for calming the nerves. Although it can't drive away nightmares, it can make the girl feel better..."

Nan Lingling took the prescription and nodded:

"Thank you, sir..."

...

After leaving Tianmufang, Lin Chen did not return to the inn.

But went to the south of the city.

The former Zheng Mansion was in the south of the city.

A moment later, he arrived in front of a dilapidated mansion gate.

After the Zheng family encountered strange things, they moved out of Yudai City.

And because of the strange things of Mr. Zheng, the wealthy businessmen in Yudai City did not dare to buy the Zheng Mansion to live in.

A few years later, the former mansion had already been dilapidated, with many weeds growing in the yard and dust in the corners.

Looking at the empty streets around him, Lin Chen jumped lightly and entered the Zheng Mansion.

His spiritual consciousness spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire Zheng Mansion.

Lin Chen observed the layout and details of the Zheng Mansion.

"Well, there is nothing strange... It's just that there seems to be a lot of uncut raw jade in this mansion that has not been taken away..."
