Big brother is as beautiful as scum [Transmigration Book]

I haven't been to Tianshu Pavilion for a long time, but it is still very lively here.

Jing Li avoided the crowded crowd, stood at an inconspicuous position, and looked at the latest task list posted on the wall. After carefully screening, he took off three or four scrolls from the wall, and went to After registering with the steward, he stepped out of the gate of Tianshu Pavilion.

When crossing the threshold, Jing Li couldn't help but look back.

I don't know if it's been a long time since I've been here, but I always feel that the flow of people this time is particularly dense, and it's full of unfamiliar faces at a glance.

But after thinking about it, he laughed at himself for being supercilious. Although he has been in Jiuhuazong for almost two years, there are only a few people he has contacted the most. A giant like Jiuhuazong has many disciples. There are not a few people who don't know each other even if they meet; what's more, after Xuantianzong came out, the suzerain and the elders have to be more cautious, and they will never rashly recruit new disciples at this time.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Jing Li!"

A cheerful voice suddenly sounded from the crowd on one side, and then several figures squeezed out from the crowd. The one who called was afraid that Jing Li would not notice, and waved his hand deliberately.

Jing Li glanced around, and saw Shanglu, Shannai, and Shi Si. They looked slightly tired, but their expressions couldn't hide their excitement. Presumably, this time they went out and received a lot of goods.

He greeted them with a smile, "It's you."

"Yes, Senior Brother Jing Li, when did you guys come back?" Shi Si happily ran over, looked behind Jing Li again, but did not see another familiar figure, and asked curiously, "Huh? Why is it Senior Brother Jing Li?" Alone, where is Eldest Brother?"

Jing Li said with a smile, "Brother is retreating."

Cang Qi was obsessed with demons before, and his inner demons were not eliminated. Unexpectedly, on this trip to Tianlan Secret Realm, he first lost his memory, and then encountered the "Qi" in the thunder pool, but by accident, he eliminated his inner demons.

Not long after he came back that day, Cang Qi felt that the existence of that layer of confinement was gradually loosening, and even closed it.

It is estimated that when he comes out again, his strength should be more refined. According to Mingxuan's speculation, it is unknown that Cang Qi might be able to break through the golden core in one fell swoop. Monk.

Cang Qi's retreat this time will take at least half a month. Usually, the two of them go in and out together, and they are used to being together. Now I am left alone, so I want to take advantage of my practice and come to Tianshu Pavilion to have a look. , is there any task to pick up?

However, considering that he didn't know when Cang Qi would leave the customs, Jing Li intentionally avoided places that were far apart when selecting tasks.

"Oh, that's it." Shi Si nodded, and said why the two senior brothers only saw one, that's why.

Seeing that Jing Li had just come out of the Tianshu Pavilion, holding a scroll in his hand, it seemed that he had received some mission, so he asked casually, "Brother Jing Li, are you going out?"

Jing Li responded, and opened the scroll in his hand to take a look, this scroll was randomly drawn from the ones he picked up just now, without carefully checking which scroll he drew, "Go to Pingqu City. "

"Pingqu City?" Shan Nai suddenly poked his head over and asked, "Could it be that ghost town, Pingqu?"

Jing Li was taken aback, "Ghost town?"

The mission scroll only said to kill a high-level monster near Pingqu City, and did not mention anything else. The reason why Jing Li accepted this mission was that the distance was relatively short, and the journey was within three days. ; On the other hand, that monster has dual attributes of feng shui, and he just wanted such a monster inner alchemy.

"Senior Brother Jing Li, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, it's just those people spreading rumors." Shang Lu lifted Shan Nai off his shoulders, "I heard that many people in Pingqu City have disappeared recently, which made everyone in the city go missing. The people were panicked, so rumors spread, there is no such thing as a ghost town."

"However, we came back this time via Pingqu, and it feels like it's really depressed. There are not many people, and there are torn yarn and cotton everywhere. It's no wonder that some people spread such rumors."

Hearing the two companions talk about it, Shi Si also remembered, "Oh, is that Pingqu that the empty ghost is about to crawl out?"

Jing Li looked at them silently——as monks, don't you see ghosts and monsters often?

What is the origin of that Pingqu "ghost" is worth thinking about by the three of you.

Pingqu City is basically populated by ordinary people, and there are sects of self-cultivation in the territory, and they are also the kind of small and small sects that are not popular. A few people from Shanglu passed by at the time, and they happened to hear about the disappearance of a large number of people in the city at the hotel. , I thought about staying and seeing if I could catch the murderer and save him.

As a result, at night, I saw countless figures appearing on the street, walking slowly on the road with stiff limbs and dull eyes. They were all people in the city, but they all looked like marionettes. And dull.

Although these city dwellers emerged from every corner of the city one after another, they never made a sound, and they all walked in a certain direction in unison.

Shanglu and the others naturally followed up curiously, wanting to see what was going on and who was behind the scenes. Who knew that they almost failed to find themselves after such a follow.

You know, it is almost impossible for a monk to get lost. A monk has sharp ears and eyes, and his memory is far better than ordinary people. Even the city is not huge, even if the roads are criss-crossed, I can't forget it, but the three of them have been turning around on the same road, but they can't get out, it's like a ghost hitting a wall .

Jing Li asked curiously, "How did you get out?"

"We don't know either. They came out at dawn." Shi Si looked at Jing Li blankly, then turned to ask the two companions uncertainly, "Is that so?"

Shang Lu and Shan Nai nodded together, and the former added a follow-up to the matter.

"As soon as the day dawned, we found that all the invisible objects that blocked our way had disappeared, and the three of us stood at the door of the inn."

"And those people, who didn't know where they went at night, have all come back." At this point, Jing Li opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, so he shook his head. He guessed what the other party wanted to say What's the matter, unfortunately, the result is not satisfactory. "After those people went home, it didn't take long before there were clamors all over the city that someone was missing."

Jing Li was puzzled, "Didn't those people all go back?"

Shanglu nodded three times, he was going back, but lost it again.

But this time it really disappeared——

"Shannai and I went to a family's house to see the person. After the person came back, he fell asleep, but after a while, the person disappeared, leaving only an empty quilt."

"You mean, that person disappeared right under your noses?"

Shanglu nodded, logically speaking, this is impossible.

"I went over and lifted the quilt to see. Although the other person is gone, there is still something left where he was lying." He said and handed over a thin long-necked bottle.

Jing Li took it and held it in his hand, uncorked the bottle and glanced at it, then quickly put the cork back on, frowning.

"There is magic."

"At that time, we felt that the situation was not good, so we withdrew first, thinking about going back to the sect first, and telling the elders."

At the same time, they were also a little puzzled. They had heard about the disturbances in the northwest, but no matter how small those sects were, they were all monks anyway. What are you planning--they are so cruel and tyrannical that they have slaughtered the entire city's people, and they have never heard of the demons who came to refine their own evil weapons, but if that is the case, let these people in Pingqu City Wouldn't it be superfluous to come back.

It's a pity that they only followed one person at that time. If they followed up separately, they might get some new clues.

The demons are really gone on the road of being demons forever.

I can see them wherever I go, and I feel that the two words that appear most frequently in my ears are demons.

Jing Li scratched his chin and thought for a while, "When you left, how many people were left in Pingqu City?"

The three of Shanglu looked at each other in blank dismay, this is hard to say.

Almost invisible.

"Probably... less than [-]%." Shang Lu frowned and recalled carefully, "In retrospect, those people who went out at that time, although there were both men and women, they were all young and middle-aged, and there were very few old people and young children."

I still feel that it has something to do with practicing something evil, but I also feel that there is something missing in it.

Thinking that Jing Li was about to go to that ghostly place, he hurriedly said, "Although I don't know whether this matter has anything to do with the mission that Senior Brother Jing Li received, but that place... I hope Senior Brother Jing Li will be careful."

"That's right Senior Brother Jing Li, otherwise, when Senior Senior Brother is out of customs, you can go together."

I always feel uneasy going to that kind of place alone...

Pingqu City...

Jing Li, who originally planned to go down the mountain directly after coming out of Tianshu Pavilion, changed his mind, and planned to take a stroll around Mingxuan before leaving.

Jing Li didn't stop any longer, waved at Shanglu and the others, and rushed back to Xizhao Peak to find his master.

But it shows that Xuan Nande did not retreat, and was sitting in the bamboo grove drinking tea, when he noticed the streamer in the sky with sharp eyes.

Seeing the little apprentice go and come back, Mingxuan was quite puzzled, while drinking tea, he beckoned to the little apprentice.

A gust of wind passed, and there was already an extra person on the empty stone bench beside him.

"Master."
