Listening to the countless whispers outside, Li Yi felt a chill.
It is conceivable how many evil souls and ghosts are wandering outside this wall. When he came out of the house, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless world of darkness. He was isolated, isolated, and surrounded by
He was the only living person, and a sense of loss arose spontaneously.
"Sure enough, just as I expected, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the yin energy from the underground rises and fills the whole world. On this day, there will be particularly many ghosts, and they will become more terrifying than usual."
Li Yi took a deep breath at this moment. It looked like he had a hard night tonight.
An evolved person like him can see ghosts, hear many sounds and movements that ordinary people cannot hear, and can also feel the disturbance of Yin energy. The mixture of these things makes him uncomfortable.
It's better to be an ordinary person, just fall asleep and sleep until dawn, seeing nothing and feeling nothing.
etc.
Suddenly.
Li Yi remembered something. He had made such a big noise just now. It was impossible that Rong Niang and Zhao Qian who were sleeping in the inner room didn't hear it at all? Even if they were really asleep, they would be woken up.
.
Although Wufu is not an evolved person, his five senses are stronger than ordinary people.
After realizing something was wrong, Li Yi immediately rushed into the inner room.
Then, his eyes suddenly shrank and he saw a strange scene.
But I saw a ghost standing next to the bedroom that I had never seen before. The ghost was nearly two meters tall, and its limbs were green and black. It was extremely thick, and its head was wrapped in white cloth. On top of the white cloth, it seemed
Written in big black characters: Shou.
At this moment, this tall ghost was holding a hollow bamboo as a straw, stretched the end of the bamboo in front of Rong Niang's face, and then took a deep breath.
In the sight of Li Yi's evolver, a pure white breath emerged from Rong Niang's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and was then sucked into the bamboo.
However, a small section of the originally black and purple bamboo also turned white, as if the breath was stored in the bamboo.
Li Yi then discovered that after losing the white aura, some of Rong Niang's black hair instantly turned white, and even a few fine wrinkles appeared on her face. The whole person seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, but
This change was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, but it could not be hidden from his eyes.
After absorbing Rong Niang's breath, the ghost pointed the bamboo at Zhao Qian who was standing aside, as if it wanted to repeat the same trick and suck her breath as well.
Rong Niang and Zhao Qian, who were sleeping soundly, were unaware of all this.
No.
Even if they were awake, they wouldn't notice it.
Because they are just martial arts practitioners, not evolvers, their eyes cannot see ghosts. Only Li Yi can see them here.
"What the hell are you doing, you beast?"
At this moment, Li Yi's eyes shrank and turned into vertical pupils, shining brightly. At this moment, he was like a fierce tiger rushing toward him. He held a knife and coin in his fist and blasted it out at the head of the ghost.
Although he didn't understand the behavior of the ghost, he could sense that the ghost seemed to be trying to steal something from Rong Niang and Zhao Qian.
The ghost with the word "longevity" written on its face seemed not to have expected that it would be seen by Li Yi. It was a little surprised, and its tall body slowly turned around. However, it was not Li Yi's greeting that greeted it, but the one coming towards it.
One punch.
This punch emitted a strange light in the darkness.
This kind of light is more powerful than the Qi and blood of a skilled practitioner. It can fight against ghosts and gods and kill evil ghosts.
"Bang!"
With the sound of the punch, the ghost's head, which had been unable to be touched, was severely injured and was actually shattered by the punch. However, there was no blood or broken bones after the head was broken. It just turned into a dense and cold aura and collapsed on the spot.
It fell and then merged into this world.
However, the ghost did not fall down after its head was destroyed. Its body could still move, but it was a little inflexible, and it stumbled towards the outside of the house.
Its tall body ignored the obstruction of the door and passed directly through.
"Can't you kill him with one punch?" Li Yi's expression changed, and he immediately chased after him without hesitation.
Since he couldn't be killed with one punch, he wouldn't believe it if he punched it a few more times. He couldn't kill this ghost.
After breaking open the door and window, Li Yi rushed out instantly with a strong figure.
However, as soon as he rushed out, his expression changed.
There are all kinds of people wandering in the yard outside the house. These people have illusory bodies, no corpses, pale faces, and dull eyes. They are actually countless ghosts and ghosts. These ghosts are like people who can be seen everywhere on the street.
Wandering aimlessly throughout Sanyang City.
The ghost whose head was blown to pieces by Li Yi just now was still stumbling towards the outside of the house. All the innocent ghosts and evil ghosts that stood in front of it along the way were knocked away as quickly as possible.
See this scene.
He immediately chased after the ghost, and before the ghost had gone far, Li Yi jumped out of the courtyard wall and killed it directly. This time he not only used the sword, but also used the guidance technique.
Under the blessing of the guidance technique, the hand holding the sword and coin shone brightly at this moment, and an energy field was bright and eye-catching.
Even ordinary people's eyes can see the light of energy.
Under such circumstances, the tall ghost was punched in the back, and a huge hole was opened in an instant. Then the whole body could no longer maintain its strength, and fell heavily to the ground, and then with a body visible to the naked eye.
The speed dissipates.
"Sure enough, the knife and coin combined with the guidance technique are the nemesis of ghosts and can easily kill the ghosts." Seeing this scene, Li Yi gained some confidence in his heart.
It's a pity that the cosmic energy in this world is not abundant, and the energy field of the knife coin has also become weak. Otherwise, the ghost would have died with the punch just now.
After the tall ghost died, nothing was left, only the black-purple bamboo in its hand was left. One end of the bamboo turned white, and this was only changed after absorbing Rong Niang's breath.
Li Yi originally wanted to pick up the bamboo and go back to study it, but when he saw the scene on the street, he was stunned.
The originally empty streets were now filled with all kinds of innocent ghosts and ghosts. Apart from these ordinary ghosts and ghosts, there were also many ghosts like the one I had just killed. They all looked the same, tall and tall.
He was two meters tall, his face was wrapped in white cloth, and the word "longevity" was written on it.
Such ghosts are constantly walking in various places in Sanyang City. They break into every house unscrupulously. When they come out, the black and purple bamboo in their hands has turned white. It is obvious that they are alive just like before.
Something was stolen from a person.
The strangest thing is that the whole city is completely silent.
No one discovered or resisted, everything seemed to be so natural.
"What is happening in this world?" Li Yi felt a chill in his back at this moment.
He understood that he seemed to have discovered some hidden horrors and secrets in this world, and the people in Sanyang City, whether they were masters of Qiao Qiao practice or ordinary people, knew nothing about it, and everything was kept secret.
Because they can't see ghosts, they don't know what the ghosts who broke into their homes did to them, or what they stole.
Suddenly.
The cry of a living person came from a nearby house. Although the doors and windows of the house were closed and no one went out, Li Yi stood on the high courtyard wall and looked out, but he could vaguely see through an oil lamp.
I saw a shadow moving inside that house, and at the same time there were more and more cries coming from that house.
Li Yi listened carefully and understood immediately.
In the evening, an old man from that family passed away.
And with the death of the old man, a ghost similar to before walked out slowly. The black-purple bamboo in its hand had been dyed white. This white color suddenly appeared.
It reminded Li Yi of the white talisman handed to him by the old man on the ghost street when he was in the ghost street.
The white talisman paper is used to draw signs, and you can sell your lifespan.
And the death of the old man, the loss of a certain breath of living people, ghosts wandering throughout Sanyang City. And finally, Li Yi heard Rong Niang say that people from all over the world do not live long, and they will die around fifty.
This series of things were connected together in Li Yi's mind, and finally he came to a terrible conjecture.
Is it possible that these ghosts are taking away the life span of living people?
The more I think about it, the more likely this is.
Because Li Yi saw with his own eyes that Rong Niang became older instantly after part of her breath was stolen by a ghost.
That part of the breath may be Rong Niang's life span.
It’s just that the lifespan taken away at one time is very small, so it is usually not noticeable, but there are twelve months in a year all over the world. If it is like this every month and every year, how much life will be lost? Even the longest-lived people will not be able to notice it at all.
I can't stand such a harvest.
So, is this the reason why people from all over the world generally have short lives?
Li Yi was shocked by his conjecture. His expression changed uncertainly, but then he had another question.
On the first day of every month, so many ghosts collect their lifespans uniformly. Over the past thousands of years, where have these lifespans gone? They won’t disappear out of thin air.
Moreover, the actions of the ghosts were obviously organized and premeditated, and did not look like a natural phenomenon.
Just when Li Yi was thinking.
Perhaps because he killed a ghost that collects lifespan, a group of official servants appeared on the originally strange street. No, they were not official servants, they were also ghosts, because their figures showed an illusory appearance. No, they were not officials.
It's true, but compared to other ghosts, this team of officials seems to be very fierce. The evil ghosts on the streets where they passed unconsciously gave way to a path.
"Are they coming for me?" Li Yi's eyes flashed, feeling hostility.
The leading official was wearing black clothes at the moment, with a ghost-headed sword hanging from his waist. His face was livid and ferocious, and his empty eye sockets were pitch black, with no eyeballs at all.
"To disturb the longevity of ghosts and gods is considered disrespectful and should be killed."
The ghost was actually conscious and stared at Li Yi as he spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and cold.
