Chapter 143 The Chill That Penetrates Deep into the Bone Marrow

When Lu Bai and Shi Xiangtou arrived at Mr. Bai Shishi's residence, the yard was still empty, with only an old woman standing in the middle of the lobby with a cane.

This is not surprising.

After all, the incense runners under Master Bai Shisi were basically stationed in the charity cemetery outside the city. Including Lu Bai, it was already very good to have three incense runners in total.

Master Bai Shisi could obviously sense how many incense runners there were in the county. When Lu Bai and Shi Xiangtou arrived, he did not wait any longer and directly revealed his true self from the portrait.

Its round face looked very ugly at the moment: "I hope the three of you will rush to Liujia Village right now."

Hearing the words "Liujia Village", Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What happened?" Shi Xiangtou asked with a frown.

"Tao Gui's life fragrance has become very weak."

Master Bai Fourteen turned his head slightly, as if he could see the scene of Liujia Village through the journey of most of the day: "There was no sign before the incident, and Tao Gui did not send me any information.

I'm telling you the truth, this trip will be very dangerous, and if you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Lu Bai asked, "When the incident happened, Mr. Tao was in Liujia Village, right?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from Mr. Bai Shishi, Lu Bai rubbed his face to make sure that he would not laugh unconsciously.

He nodded calmly and said simply, "I'll go."

"Although my strength has declined, I have not forgotten my duties as an incense burner." The wrinkled old woman's expression remained unchanged.

Seeing that both colleagues expressed their willingness to go, Shi Xiangtou said helplessly: "Okay, then I will go with you too."

Seeing the three people's statements, Master Bai Shisi's expression became a little better: "I will always pay attention to the situation over there. If you encounter a difficult situation, don't hesitate to call me at any time."

It paused, then added: "Xiao Lu, you have been to Liujia Village, so you will be the leader of this trip."

After all, it was the order of Mr. Bai Shishi, so even if Shi Xiangtou and the old woman had any objections, they would not show it and just nodded in agreement.

……

At Lu Bai's strong request, Shi Xiangtou brought his two Death Fighter apprentices with him.

After leaving the county town, the group of five hurried and finally got out of the forest before nightfall.

This speed is really not slow.

After all, there was an old lady with a cane in the team.

After leaving the forest, it is only a few kilometers away from Liujia Village.

Returning to the old place, Lu Bai did not feel much emotion.

Looking far away, you can see the night covering the earth and the hazy fog shrouding the village in the distance. Under the influence of the wind, the fog floats, making people feel that the village has a more fluid feeling.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Xiangtou asked tentatively: "How about going to the charity cemetery to rest for a night?"

Even though there are three incense masters in their group, they still need to remain in awe when facing the darkness.

Not to mention they were well aware that something evil was happening in that village.

"I'm afraid Master Tao can't hold out that long."

Lu Bai took out a stick of incense from Shi Xiangtou's bag and lit it: "I'll go over to take a look. If you want to go back to the charity cemetery, be careful on the way."

"I am already half buried in the ground, it is unacceptable to be afraid of death."

After the old woman finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards Liujia Village.

Shi Xiangtou shrugged: "Then let's go together."

The closer you get to Liujia Village, the lower the temperature seems to be, so cold that it gives goose bumps on your arms.

As the cold wind blew, you could faintly hear some strange sobs and mumblings in the wind.

The two apprentices, Aniu and Ama, were pale-faced. They followed behind the three men, their bodies shaking slightly uncontrollably.

On the one hand, it is because of the strong yin energy, and on the other hand, it comes from Lu Bai.

They seriously suspected that Lu Bai insisted on taking the risk late at night just to find an opportunity to kill the two brothers.

Tonight the sky was overcast, the moonlight was dim, and visibility was not high. Not long after Shi Xiangtou walked, he took out two torches from his bag and lit them with a tinderbox.

The sudden rise of fire and heat could not dispel the chill in the air.

He held up one torch and handed the other to Lu Bai.

He whispered, "To be honest, I've never encountered such an exaggerated yin energy. I'm afraid it's at least an evil spirit of Ankan Daoism."

When the old lady walking in front heard this, she didn't even bother to turn her head.

"No matter how deep its cultivation is, if it dares to cause chaos, I will not let it go."

……

Walking quickly, the group soon arrived at the village entrance.

Unlike the mournful cries in the wind, the village was actually very quiet.

The barking of dogs and the chirping of insects all disappeared, and there was no sense of any life at all.

They arrived with torches, but there was still no reaction from the hundreds of households in the village.

The house was pitch black, like a wild beast ready to devour anyone who dared to enter this territory.

A dark shadow was vaguely crawling in the vegetable patch surrounded by a wooden fence. The whole scene was eerie and strange, which made people shudder.

"It seems that all the villagers in Liujia Village have suffered."

Shi Xiangtou's face was tense, and the arm holding the torch became a little stiff.

"Prepare incense to cure the disease."

Lu Bai gave a reminder and then stepped into the village.

The next second, he felt as if he was in an ice cave, and the eerie coldness seemed to penetrate into his bones all at once.

The incense and torch in his hand went out at the same time.

It seems like there is an invisible border. Once you step into the village, you will face unspeakable fear.

Feeling this change, Lu Bai immediately raised his hand and pressed it back, signaling Shi Xiangtou and the others not to come in.

However, the others seemed not to have noticed his gesture and followed in one after another.

"Hiss..." The indiscriminate coldness made Shi Xiangtou subconsciously take a breath of cold air.

Ah Niu couldn't help but shiver: "It's so cold."

If they hadn't been concerned about Lu Bai, the two brothers would probably have turned around and ran away.

Lu Bai frowned slightly. Judging from the behavior of Shi Xiangtou and the others, the vision inside and outside the village should still be distorted.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining.

He looked around warily.

Although I'm not sure what this thing is made of, but since it can cover such a large area, it must not be an easy character to deal with.

The old woman made a prompt decision, lit a stick of incense and prepared to enter a trance.

She could easily tell that this was not an evil spirit that she could handle, so she had to quickly ask Master Bai Shisi to fight this unknown evil spirit.

Unfortunately,
The communication with the gods was not successful.

To be precise, after entering the village, the incense couldn't burn at all due to the bone-chilling cold.

"retreat!"

"I've only been the incense master for a few days. I'm not an expert in exorcising evil spirits."

Lu Bai shook the half-burnt incense stick in his hand and said, "But I don't think this guy will let us go easily."

As if to confirm what he said, the old woman stopped panting, turned around, and was shocked to find that she was actually walking in circles.
