Chapter 87: Meeting a Ghost at Night(1/2)

Just as night fell, the camp was silent, and Xueyan quietly flew out of the camp tent and disappeared into the dark night.

She left a note on the table and told Ah Qing that she had something urgent to go out of the city and would take a few days to come back, and told her not to worry.

There are stars in the sky, the moon shadow is hazy, and there is no one around. Xueyan holds the Poxue Sword in her hand, guarding against everything that may arise around her.

Midnight, Lishan, Xueyan knew that this was a trap, but she had to go. She had to find out the evil ghost's affairs and understand the matter of Yang Liu.

Xueyan was thinking, and a group of black shadows flashed not far away. Xueyan was immediately alert. Half of the sword was pulled out, and then a group of crows flew up, wailing, disappearing at the end of the dark night.

Lishan is extremely terrifying in the mouths of the people nearby, but Xueyan should not be so cautious. After all, she is a top immortal in the heavens and has been misunderstood as a monster that harms people. She should not have taken the rumors too much into her heart.

Xueyan shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly. She was so nervous. She was full of weapons. If Ah Qing knew about it, she would definitely laugh at her.

Along the way, the road was rugged and difficult to walk. As we approached midnight, we just walked to the foot of Lishan Mountain. Xueyan looked up and saw the huge mountain towering to the clouds. A strong sense of oppression came to her face. Xueyan took a deep breath and walked up the mountain.

The entire mountain is made up of bare stones. There are no grass growing on the mountain, and there are cliffs everywhere, which are difficult to climb. Xueyan walked along the intermittent mountain road, with steep cliffs on one side and deep valleys on the other. If you step in a wrong step, it will be a deep abyss. Xueyan walked up the mountain, looking for willows or 69 figures.

We will end all this here tonight. If we solve the 69 earlier, we will get rid of the war sooner.

The moonlight is like water, the mountain breeze is cool, and there is a silence around, with no trace of people. The snow-faced walks aimlessly, looking around.

The shadow on the ground seemed to be moving. Xueyan suddenly raised her head. At the end of the mountain road, a huge monster blocked her. The monster was half-squatting, as big as a part of the mountain, hanging her arms, with a hideous face, baring her mouth, revealing her long fangs, staring at her eyes, and a heavy breath was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Xueyan took a few steps back, held the sword tightly, thinking in her heart that this is the evil human-eating ghost mentioned by the people at the foot of the mountain? It is so big?

The monster seemed to be very curious about Xueyan, but just looked at her blankly and had no intention of attacking her. Perhaps no one dared to break into his territory alone for a long time.

Xueyan looked at it for a long time, but no one moved. They were all full of curiosity and wondered what the other person was.

When Xueyan was in the heavenly realm, she heard some rumors about the ghost tribe in the demon world. The so-called ghost should be from the ghost realm of the demon world. It was originally led by the ghost king. Later, because the ghost king was killed by Ye Feng many years ago, Ye Feng was unwilling to succeed the ghost king, and no one was in charge and gradually disappeared.

Xueyan had never contacted the ghost clan, but in the heavenly realm, she heard that they were all monsters with green faces, fangs, cruel tempers, and even the same kind of people ate.

But senior brother Ye Feng also told Xueyan that those terrible evil spirits are not difficult to solve, and the most difficult thing to deal with are those monsters with human face and beast hearts.

"Are you the evil ghost hiding on this mountain?" Xueyan asked loudly, still holding the sword at her waist, not daring to relax at all.

The evil ghost seemed not to listen to Xueyan's speech, and reached out his hand to hold Xueyan. His huge arm stretched over and lifted up dust and sand on the ground.

Xueyan jumped in the air and jumped aside. Although the evil ghost was huge, he was not flexible and his movements were even slower. How could he catch Xueyan?

Seeing that the evil ghost had not hit the attack, he was a little unwilling to accept it. He moved forward and grabbed Xueyan with both hands. Xueyan kept dodging, but the evil ghost could not catch her at all. There was no tree blocking the entire mountain, so Xueyan could only walk through the cliffs.

Seeing that Xueyan was very flexible, he could not touch Xueyan at all, his eyes widened and a little angry. He raised his hands to hit the ground hard. Peng Shi's voice was deafening. The mountain began to shake violently. Huge stones rolled down from the mountain. Xueyan dodged left and right. Seeing this, the evil ghost approached Xueyan again and tried to reach out and grabbed Xueyan. Xueyan was overwhelmed. He quickly pulled out the Poxue Sword from his waist and split the stone that was about to smash. The stones were shattered. Xueyan rushed to dance a few swords and hit the broken stones at the evil ghost's head. The evil ghost retracted his hand to cover it. Xueyan almost escaped the disaster.

If this continues, it will never end. This evil ghost is stupid and should not be able to ask anything. He must avoid it first. Before the evil ghost can react, Xueyan turned around and took a few steps, flashed to the other side of the mountain, and gasped against the wall.

I just heard that there were evil ghosts in the mountains, but I didn’t hear that the evil ghost went down the mountain to attack people. Since it was staying honestly in this mountain, why not let it go? After all, Xueyan broke into its territory. What’s more, the purpose of this trip was to find Yang Liu, catch 69, and ask about their conspiracy to avoid fighting between the two armies and harming the people. Now I always have to preserve my strength and not engage in unnecessary battles. Xueyan thought to herself, and plundered all the way and threw away the evil ghost.

I searched half of the mountain, but I didn’t see any signs of Yang Liu or 6 Jiu. There were loud noises coming from afar. I guess the evil ghost was also looking for Xueyan.

It seems that Yang Liu just wanted to lead Xueyan to this mountain, conflict with the evil ghosts, and then become its snack. He did not come. Xueyan sat on the stone beside him and rested, preparing to go down the mountain for a while.

The sky was already dark, and the whole mountain was bare, with no trees, flowers, and no birds and animals, and seemed lifeless.

"Who are you?" A weak voice rang.

Xue Yan looked around and there was no one around. How could there be a human-eating evil ghost on this mountain? It must be because he was hallucinating his hearing. When he was confused, the voice sounded again.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Xueyan stood up and walked towards the sound. In the distance, there was a man standing in the shadow of the stone pile. He was a handsome man. He looked weak and thin, pale and thin, as if he was seriously ill. When he approached, Xueyan saw his face clearly. He was a human, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and was handsome, like a weak scholar, but his eyes were sharp as a knife, and his heroic spirit was extraordinary.

The man was stunned for a while at Xueyan, and Xueyan was also very confused. This is Lishan, where everyone stays away from, and even the army has to circumvent the city. How could a sick young man come here rashly?

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you should leave here quickly now. There are evil ghosts who cannibalize people on this mountain. You are so thin, I'm afraid it's not enough for the evil ghost to get stuck in the teeth." Xueyan pointed to the way down the mountain and signaled him. "You can walk all the way from here to the bottom of the mountain. While the evil ghost is still looking for me, run away quickly."

The man did not move, and ignored Xueyan's words. He just looked at Xueyan's face with his eyes, as if he was trapped in a dream.

Xueyan was uncomfortable with his eyes and asked in confusion. "What are you looking at?"

The man ignored her words and still looked at her with a close eye, tentatively calling out softly. "Xueqing?"

The man's eyes were full of expectations, as if he was looking at his long-lost lover.

"You recognized the wrong person, I am not Xue Qing." Xueyan shook her head.

"No, Xueqing, it turns out that you are not dead!" The man walked towards Xueyan excitedly and grabbed Xueyan's arm suddenly, obviously very happy. "It's really great that you are still alive!"

"I'm not Xue Qing, you recognized the wrong person." Xue Yan was startled by his sudden enthusiasm.

The man was still trapped in his own joy and couldn't extricate himself. He looked at Xueyan with a smile, with great joy in his eyes.

"Let go!" Xueyan broke away from his hand vigorously and went to the side. "You really recognized the wrong person."

"How could it be possible if you recognize the wrong person..." The man didn't believe it. "Xueqing, don't you know me anymore?"

"I'm really not Xue Qing, you misunderstood!" Xue Yan explained hard.

When the man heard Xueyan's words, he woke up from his dream and fell into deep loss. "Yes, how could you be her..."

He slowly bent down and stopped talking, obviously very painful. Xueyan was not able to go up to comfort her. She hesitated for a moment and turned around to leave. After walking a few steps, she ran into someone. Xueyan was shocked. It was the sick man just now. Xueyan was very surprised. He looked seriously ill and could be so close to her silently.

"Is there anything else?" Xueyan shouted in order to hide her panic. "I am really not Xue Qing!"

"Who are you? Tell me your name." The man ignored Xue Yan's panic and asked anxiously.

"My name is Xueyan, what's wrong?" Xueyan asked back.

"Xueyan, Xueyan..." The man kept repeating her name.

"What? Do you know me?" Xueyan asked strangely.

"Ha... Xueyan, I understand." The man laughed, his face gradually became cold. He ignored Xueyan's question and turned around and wanted to leave.

This person is young, why is he so arrogant and rude? Xueyan is a little angry and turns her head disdainfully. "You are just a human being, so immersed in the anger for a long time, and your soul is eroded. It must be very painful."

This statement shocked the man, with a slightly surprised face, he stopped and asked with a serious expression. "How do you know?"

Xueyan smiled slightly, and knew the person's physical condition by looking at his face. This is the most basic cultivation of the Medical Immortal, but Xueyan just suppressed his pride and did not care much about it.

"How do I know? It's all written on your face." Xueyan continued. "There are evil ghosts everywhere on this mountain. If you don't leave here, you will be eaten by these evil ghosts before you die of illness."

"You have to care..." The man looked at Xueyan with disdain, his expression faint, and he couldn't tell what was thinking in his heart.

"You..." Xueyan was slightly angry. This person really didn't know what was going on. It was so abominable that he was so sick.

The two stood in confrontation, tense and unyielding, and there seemed to be a sound in the distance.

"Shh--" Xueyan instinctively pulled him up and hid in the crack of the rock, putting his index finger on his lips, signaling him not to speak. The man cooperated very well and did not speak. His hands were as cold as ice. Xueyan quickly let go and waited until the surroundings became quiet before she stood up and looked around, but no evil ghosts appeared.

"You'd better go down the mountain earlier and go back to the city. There is an evil ghost in this mountain that can eat people." Xueyan said as she gestured to a big grimace, scaring him, wanting him to retreat.

The man was stunned at first, then laughed silently. "Since you can see that I am terminally ill, do you still care about where I will die?"

Xueyan heard the helplessness of this answer. He was also a pitiful person.

Xueyan picked up his hand to test his pulse. The man hurriedly pulled his hand back, but Xueyan pulled it back.

"Don't move!" Xue Yan listened to his pulse in a quiet heart. How could his hands be so cold? His body had no blood, his pulse was weak, and he was almost gone. He should be terminally ill.

Because Xueyan practiced ice and snow spirit skills, she lived in ice and snow peaks all year round, and the cold air invaded her body, but this person was even colder than her, and her body was filled with cold air. Xueyan couldn't help but chill.

"Since you know that you are in poor health, you should bask in the sun more often. You are so cold, do you still have to hide in the shade?" Xueyan said as she pulled him out of the dark shadow, hoping that he would bask in the sun and warm him up.

Unexpectedly, his hand was burned as soon as it touched the sun. He suddenly withdrew his hand and hid in the shadow.

"I'm sorry." Xueyan didn't know what was going on, so she quickly apologized.

He looked just an ordinary human, and he could not touch the sun. Xueyan teared off a gauze and bandaged him the wound, but the wound was still festering and getting worse and worse.

The man's face was pale and haggard, and there was no warmth on his body. He was like a ghost floating in the shadows. On this man, Xueyan could not feel evil spirits, or even had any characteristics of the demon world. Rather than saying that he was from the demon world, Xueyan would rather believe that he was just an ordinary human, but how could an ordinary person be afraid of the sun? How could he run to the territory of the evil ghost alone?

The wound was still festering and was getting worse and worse. Xueyan didn't have time to think about it, so she pulled out a piece of Po Xue Sword and pressed it against his wound with the sword body. The cold air radiated from Po Xue Sword quickly suppressed the spread of the wound.

Obviously, Po Xuejian did not reject him, so he should not be a person in the Demon Realm, Xueyan would be relieved.

"Who are you? How could you be afraid of the sun?" Xueyan asked out the doubts in her heart.

"Who am I? Who am I?" the man said to himself, as if he was thinking and asking himself.

"Do you don't have a name?" Xueyan looked at his expression and was confused. It is said that only evil ghosts in the Demon Realm Ghost Realm are afraid of light, but no matter how you look at this person, they are just an ordinary human, how can they be afraid of light?

"My name? It's been too long and I've forgotten it." The man's face calmed down a little, and he looked into the distance with a faint expression.

"Okay, your name is so precious, I won't ask more." Since he didn't want to say it, Xueyan didn't ask too much and got up to fetch water. "You're waiting here, I'll fetch some water to clean your wounds."

It was noon and the weather was a little hot. The whole mountain was bare and without sunshade. The air was extremely dry. Xueyan walked for a long time and walked to the deep valley at the foot of the mountain. Only then did some clean water appear in the puddles on the ground. A stream in the distance flowed slowly in the deep valley and gathered into a pool in the low-lying area. On both sides of the deep valley were towering cliffs, covering the sky and the sun, making the entire valley floor refreshing and cool, and there were some lush vegetation growing. Xueyan looked for it in the deep valley. They were all wild weeds and there were no medicinal materials to use. Fortunately, there was a little burn medicine on his body. Xueyan did not stay. He drew some clear water and picked some fruits and walked in the direction he came.

"I guess he's anxious." Xueyan walked quickly to the mountain, jumping back and forth between the cliffs from time to time. She didn't meet evil ghosts along the way. Are the ghosts afraid of light? Perhaps the evil ghost I met at night is hiding in a place where there is no sunshine at this time. Could this weak man be afraid of the sunshine after being hit by the ghosts?

Xueyan thought, but her steps did not stop. There was no one in the place where she had just separated from the man. He could not have been taken away by the evil ghost. Xueyan felt a little regretful that he should not have been left alone just now. He was a sick young man with no power to tie a chicken. When he met an evil ghost, he probably didn't even have the strength to escape.

Xueyan searched anxiously, and the entire mountain was clear at a glance. Where would he go?

"What are you looking for?" A voice sounded behind him. Xueyan turned around and the man stood quietly in the stone cave not far behind Xueyan.

"It's nothing, I thought you were taken away by that evil ghost." Xueyan turned around, smiled indifferently, and walked over.

The cave was quite spacious, without sunshine and very cool. Xueyan handed him the picked fruit. "Eat something."

"I won't eat this." The man refused.

"There are only fruits here, just eat a little. You are very weak now. How can you not eat?" Xueyan stuffed the fruit into his hand, leaned down, and raised his hand. The wound was still slowly eroding, which must have hurt. Xueyan was a little soft-hearted. If he hadn't pulled him into the sun by rashly, he wouldn't have been hurt like this.
To be continued...
