Chapter 55 The essence of fog demon
It's late at night.
Zhang San was lying on the bed, listening to the gentle breathing of his wife and children, and he was motionless. He was waiting for the passage of time.
Suddenly, there were dense sounds of wolf howlings and ghosts outside the town. It was the fog demon in the black fog trying to attack, every day and every night.
He immediately sat up silently and jumped down the ground like a raccoon cat. Even in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, he still accurately hung several thick straw curtains on the windows and doors.
Then, he lit the oil lamp.
Looking at this little light, Zhang San was in a trance for a moment. When will such a day end?
To be precise, Zhang San’s ancestor was his great-grandfather, who was once a true cultivator of the Nascent Soul, and was also the 79th generation leader of the Lanshan Sect...
Zhang San actually didn't know the true meaning of these identities. He only knew that since his grandfather's generation, the Zhang family had been a tenant in a small town.
The nominal owner of the Kuangshan Town is the territory of the Marquis' Marquis' Mansion, and the Ma family is also aristocrat of the Holy Crow Kingdom. But in fact, there was never only one real owner of the Kuangshan Town, the temple.
Over the past hundred years, the Zhang family has reproduced for four generations, but so far, there are only 19 people in the family, young and old. Other families either die of strange diseases or encounter monsters, or are attracted by the masters in the temple, and they will never return.
But from beginning to end, at least part of the things left by Zhang San’s grandfather over the past hundred years have remained there.
Silently sighed, Zhang San looked at the bed, the old old wife, the young second wife, the younger wife, the second son and the younger son in the big compartment; the eldest daughter, the younger daughter, the older son in the outer compartment, the older daughter, the older daughter, the younger grandson in the outer compartment.
There are also two adjacent houses outside the room, where his younger brother Zhang Si and Zhang Wu and his family live.
That's all he has.
It's also the whole of the Zhang family.
There were nineteen people in total, but there were still twenty people a few days ago. Because of his youngest son, he was attracted by the temple master, and took him to the temple and never came back.
To stop the sadness in his heart, Zhang San tried his best to calm his emotions and carefully took out a buried wooden box from under the bed. After opening it, it was a small hourglass inside, which was the most important treasure of his Zhang family.
Because his grandfather told his father himself, and his father told him himself.
"Every midnight, the yin and yang of heaven and earth meet and the earth's energy rises. It is the weakest time for that thing, and it is also the time when the innocent and innocent souls in the world who died in vain want to seek justice. At this time, you can take off the amulet on your neck. Remember, it's only two hours, so you must not be wrong."
My father's terrifyingly serious voice continued to echo in Zhang San's mind. He stared at the hourglass until all the black sand on it leaked, which meant that midnight had arrived.
Zhang San quickly turned the hourglass over and quickly took off the protective pendant on his neck that looked like a death talisman. Then he took it off for his three sons, two daughters, a daughter-in-law and a young grandson. The others were no longer concerned.
This is the future of the Zhang family.
After taking it off, Zhang San took out six more pieces of talisman paper and put it on their eyebrows. It is said that this is the talisman inherited from the Zhang family's ancestors, which can effectively remove toxins from the body.
As for whether it works, haha, just look at Zhang San’s three wives.
Anyway, Zhang San doesn't understand it himself, but he knows how to make it.
At that time, Zhang San had six brothers and three sisters, and only he had this talent, so the most dangerous things in the family were his elder brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother. The master in the temple came to choose people, and his brothers and sisters were selected first.
He was well protected.
He even married several wives by Tessan.
But Zhang San was not happy at all. He missed his two honest brothers, missed his sisters who looked very good when they were just a teenager, and missed his younger brother. He missed his family members who died all these years, and missed his six-year-old son a few days ago. Before he was taken away, he thought he was going to eat delicious food, but he kept looking back and calling him father and mother.
The shouting was coming from a distance, and it was heard clearly and echoed all these days.
Zhang San squatted in the corner, biting his arm, and cried silently.
Soon, Zhang San stood up and he had something to do. He only had one hour to meditate every day and made a dispersing talisman in one hour. He didn't know what it was used to, so he could only do everything he could to survive and he could always find hope.
——
The river surface covered by black fog was a little crowded, and there were fog demons everywhere.
Even when Li Si was wearing a black fog cloak and was invisible in the black fog, he was frightened and did not dare to breathe.
It is worth mentioning that when he put on the black fog cloak, he seemed to turn into a fog demon and had a vision similar to a fog demon. In this vision, the standard for seeing things is no longer the light and darkness of light, but life and death.
The living is the beating flame, and the dead is the darkness.
As for the fog demon itself, it is a mass of flowing gray.
In addition, Li Si did not find any evidence whether these fog demons were in the same group as the Evil God Church, nor did he find that these fog demons had IQ or could communicate. The only thing that could be confirmed was that they had an almost instinctive desire for the living.
They want to live.
For example, the reason why so many fog monsters appeared on this river is entirely because a small town with a population of about 3,000 people appeared on the east bank of the river.
Those beating flames became the targets of a large number of fog monsters.
As for the deserted village where the Fuyun Sect is located, it looks about a hundred miles away, because Li Si felt that he had rowed for at least five hours.
"It's pretty good. If you can destroy an evil god statue here, you will definitely be able to open up the situation."
Thinking of this, Li Si carefully rowed the boat, occasionally jumping into the water and dragging the boat forward, because the fog demons around him were too dense, and he didn't know where they were hiding during the day.
"These fog demons are not like the minions of the evil god, but are more like derivatives produced by the invasion of the evil god. They look like ghosts but not ghosts, like monsters but not monsters, but they are extremely eager for a living life. The only way to attack is to absorb longevity, tsk tsk!"
At this time, Li Si finally squeezed to the bank of the river and sank the boat directly into the mud at the bottom of the water, without worrying about losing it. At that time, he can find it with a curse of searching for traces and destroying traces.
Besides, he felt that he might not have used a boat next time. There were smart people in the Evil God Church, and he would definitely find that he made two moves along the river.
Wearing a black fog cloak, Li Si quickly interspersed among the many fog demons and soon arrived at the front, where all the fog demons were stopped.
Huge stone tablets are erected here, engraved with various runes. At this moment, under the fog demon's vision, you can see these runes emit a hot light, burning the fog demon who dared to approach, and the fog demon was constantly burned to death.
"Hey, this is still the method of the cultivator, which is ironic enough."
Li Si did not dare to get too close, because his black fog cloak was also restrained by the runes on the stone tablet.
But this did not delay him wandering around to get cheap. After the fog demon was burned to death, as long as he approached in time, even if he didn't take action, he would get black luck and firewood. It was a bit random, ranging from dozens of servings to a few servings.
For a moment, Li Si was having a lot of fun here.
In less than half an hour, he had accumulated 598 black firewood by picking up such cheapness alone, which was equivalent to killing the six-headed foggy demon.
Comfortable.
However, he also noticed something was wrong. As time gradually approached midnight, the fog demons became more and more excited and restless, and even seemed to remember some memories of the past. Some fog demons could even shout a few words.
This made Li Si unable to help but have a bold idea. If a mantra of clearing the heart is thrown out at this time, will they wake up?
However, this place is not the time to experiment. He intuitively felt that he would discover some secrets next.
At this time, as the fog demon began to wake up, at first, only a few fog demons dared to rush forward, and later they rushed upward with more than a dozen or dozens of heads.
At this time, the flame runes on the stone tablet could not be taken into account. In just a few minutes, the runes on the stone tablet finally dimmed, so all the fog demons were restless and rushed in frantically through this gap.
Like a torrent.
This situation really surprised Li Si, but he still did not dare to act rashly. He just picked up the bargain while following him. He wanted to know how the evil god statue in this small town attacked the invading fog demon.
If you can't stop these fog demons, believe it or not, the town will become a dead place overnight.
Obviously, that's impossible.
Sure enough, a familiar fluctuation of power soon appeared, and Li Si instantly felt a little shock in his heart, which was the statue of the evil god watching.
But the intensity is not high, which is about one percent of what he experienced before, and it is not fatal enough. Even because this force is not a cluster state, but a divergence expansion, covering the entire town, the pollution caused by the individual cannot even be as low as possible.
If an ordinary person stands here at this moment, maybe he will have an accumulation of 1% alienation pollution after an hour.
But such a small dose has a great restraining effect on the fog demons.
It's like it's an instinct imprinted in the bones. Even if it turns into a ghost, its knees have never been straightened.
Alas, these fog monsters are really ghosts, people can change under the influence of the power of evil gods. There is no reason why ghosts will not change.
"These fog demons are still too cowardly."
Li Si quickly made a judgment because at this time most of the fog demons stopped at a place only one mile away from the town, and then stood there, howling with all their hearts. If they ignored that terrifying tone, they could compare horizontally with the night of the lotus pond and the croaker of the night frog in the middle of the night.
In addition, there are also fog demons rushing in. They are often stronger and the ones who have recovered the most rationality at this time. They can even communicate briefly and inspire other fog demons to rush together...
But in the end, there were only sporadic ones, three or five, two or three or four, but they were soon destroyed by the black armored warriors on the walls of the outside town.
It turns out that this is the truth.
"What are you waiting for? Don't you dare to fight your life when you are alive, and don't you dare to die?"
Suddenly, an extremely clear voice sounded, which was the most logical fog demon that Li Si had ever heard. With its sound, the fog demon around it seemed to be starting to move, but at this moment, a black light flew out from the town wall, but it was a flying chain and shackles. The fog demon was dragged into the darkness.
