The Tao is far away

In the evening, Wang Chi and his companion arrived at a small town.

The town was bathed in the sunset, and the residents had ended a busy day and were walking lazily on the trails.

"In this remote area, there is actually such a big town." Wang Chi looked at the huge plaque above his head and said to Xu Qianyu who was standing beside him.

"Since you're here, let's take a look. We were mortals once too!" Xu Qianyu looked happy. She had been a fairy for so long that she almost forgot about her mortal life.

Walking on the only street in the town, Xu Qianyu walked slowly with a smile on her face.

"Why are you so happy?" Wang Chi put his hands behind his head and held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

"In the past, after completing a mission, my four brothers would always bring me to town." Xu Qianyu said as she picked up the only candied haws from a vendor's stall.

After hearing this, Wang Chi pinched her nose uncomfortably. Her four brothers died at my hands.

When Xu Qianyu saw that Wang Chi had not caught up, she turned around and found Wang Chi standing there with a guilty look on his face.

Xu Qianyu smiled, walked to Wang Chi, pulled off the dogtail grass on Wang Chi's mouth, held it in her mouth, and said, "I don't blame you. What I mean is that you are the person closest to me."

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Chi gently tapped Xu Qianyu on the face.

……

The two came to an inn, found a seat by the window on the second floor, and ordered a pot of tea.

Looking out the window, the setting sun casts a red glow over the entire town.

Opposite the inn was a carpenter's shop, where an old carpenter was closing his shop after a busy day.

The old carpenter rolled his eyes and gave a half-smile.

"The carpenter's shop... I don't know how Erhu is doing." Wang Chi thought of his playmate in Huangni Village. Before leaving, he placed him in the carpenter's shop in Qingshan Town, Jiangguo. Now, six years have passed, and no one knows how he is doing.

"Time flies so fast. It's been a long time since we last drank together at the same table in Lingyuan." Wang Chi murmured to Xu Qianyu, his tone filled with endless emotion.

Who could have thought at that time that Xu Qianyu would become my Taoist partner?

Xu Qianyu smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a strong spiritual pressure erupted outside, and the whole house shook.

One of the people in the inn was startled by the noise. After the shaking stopped, he trembled and said, "What's going on? Is the earth dragon turning over?"

The others seemed used to it and ignored him, continuing to eat their meals.

Wang Chi and Xu Qianyu looked at each other and understood in their hearts that this was definitely not an earthquake, but a fluctuation of spiritual energy.

There are immortal cultivators nearby!

There are actually immortal cultivators in this mortal town!

Judging from the intensity of the fluctuations, there are definitely cultivators fighting or practicing martial arts.

You must know that the Southern Alliance strictly prohibits fighting in mortal areas, let alone killing mortals.

"Let's leave quickly after eating and leave this town. I feel danger." Xu Qianyu looked at the sky that had already turned dark and sent a message to Wang Chi.

"Danger? What kind of danger could there be?" Wang Chi was puzzled. With the strength of the two of them, not to mention the Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if a Jindan cultivator came, they would be able to protect themselves.

What's more, there is no way there would be any foundation-building cultivators in this remote and poor place. Most of them are just casual Qi-refining cultivators and are nothing to be afraid of.

After listening to Wang Chi's arrogant words, Xu Qianyu wanted to beat him up.

"I am naturally sensitive to spirits. The moment it erupted just now, I felt a strong sense of resentment."

Wang Chi didn't take it seriously and immediately pulled Xu Qianyu out of the inn.

It’s not that Wang Chi also felt the resentment, but he noticed that other people in the inn seemed to be looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

There was fanaticism in his eyes.

Wang Chi secretly scanned them with his spiritual sense, and without exception they were all mortals.

But that look gave him a hint of uneasiness.

"It seems that these people are not alive!" Situ said in Wang Chi's sea of ​​consciousness.

"No, there is a living person, the one in front of you."

"Not a living person? Why didn't you say it earlier!" Wang Chi was shocked.

"How dare you say that? You locked me up as soon as you got intimate with your girlfriend. What the hell should I know?" Situ said with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, let's leave this town quickly. I just checked it out and found that this town is full of resentment. It's obviously a dangerous place!"

Wang Chi leaned close to the man's ear and said, "Brother, get out of here!"

Wang Chi originally wanted to leave, but out of kindness, he still reminded the man.

As for whether to leave or not, that is his own business.

"What did you say?" the man said incoherently with food in his mouth.

Wang Chi ignored her and slowly pulled Xu Qianyu out of the inn.

As soon as he left the inn, Wang Chi found an alley at random, draped the Yinling Veil over the two of them, and flew away on his sword.

Wang Chi was still worried and activated the Zhiyang Bird Talisman.

Just after Wang Chi and the other two left, the people in the inn stopped eating, raised their heads, and looked at the man who was eating with voracious appetite.

"Gulu..."

I don't know who swallowed.

The man eating felt something was wrong

He found that the faces of the people around him were pale, their eyes were white, and they looked at him greedily. The candlelight in the inn also turned green and flickered strangely.

The man shuddered, rolled his eyes, put a piece of silver on the table, and walked towards the first floor with a calm expression.

As he walked up the stairs, the wooden boards made a sound, and a group of people on the first floor were also looking at him.

The man's heart sank to the bottom of the lake.

It really is a ghost!

I should have thought of it earlier. How could there be such a big town in this remote place?

At this moment, the door of the inn slammed shut with a loud bang, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

The man felt hot in his crotch, it was all over!

A cold wind blew against his ears.

The man turned his head tremblingly, and spoke with a shattered face:

"Where are you going?"

At this time, under the inn, a voice came from a blood-red pool, "Go and capture those two monks. Don't waste their foundation-building skills!"

Another female voice suddenly rang out in the air, "Foundation-building cultivators are mostly disciples from large sects. Should we capture them..."

"Humph, you are too soft-hearted. If you die in this remote place, those people from the sect may not come here!"

"Oh, this is the only way!"

The male voice suddenly thought of something and said, "I don't trust those living dead. To be safe, you go in person. The male cultivators are yours, and the female cultivators are mine!"

"Forget it, use the formation to separate them, and we will defeat them one by one."

The female voice chuckled, "I am not at a disadvantage because of the handsomeness of that male cultivator."

……

Wang Chi and the other person were flying at high speed in the air. The more they flew, the more they felt something was wrong. It seemed as if there was some restriction above the town, and their sword-flying speed was greatly reduced.

Wang Chi frowned. This kind of potential danger was the most terrifying. We didn't even know where the enemy was.

At this moment, a white light flashed in front of him, and when Wang Chi opened his eyes again, he appeared at the entrance of the town.

Moreover, the original night turned into day, and at this time, the sun was scorching overhead.

"Qianyu, are you okay?" Wang Chi said to Xu Qianyu.

No one speaks.

"Qianyu!"

Wang Chi Meng turned around and found that there was nothing behind him.

"Old man, what's going on? Where did Qianyu go?" Wang Chi tried his best to keep calm. He knew that the more serious the situation was, the more he couldn't panic.

"This entire town is covered by a spell that confuses perception."

"Your girlfriend should be somewhere in town."

"I think the center of the formation should be that inn!"
