C59 Ghost cloud town
People's path would not be interrupted, but they would always be tied together. No matter how small a matter it was, no matter how short a time it was, it would not be remembered by Liu He, nor would it be recorded down in the records. The destiny that was decided would not disappear, it would never disappear.
Changmen Niepo always thought so. Because, he had never treated Fourteenth Prince City as a transition station, nor did he regard the place he was headed to as the final destination of the Shu Sect s. If Tea Fragrance Mountain was his starting point, then where was his end point? At this moment, even he did not know where his destination was.
Or to be more precise, from the moment Changmen Niepo stepped out of Tea Fragrance Mountain, he had been searching for the final destination. Perhaps, this sort of ending point was very close to him. However, the end point that was very close to him was ultimately covered by a thin layer of window paper that he could not pierce through. He had no choice but to take detour again and again in order to reach the end point that was only inches away from him.
They were getting closer and closer to the late autumn, as well as the Shu Sect of the country of Longshu. At this moment, a person wearing a big grey cloak was walking towards the small town that was a few kilometers away with seemingly difficult steps.
If one looked carefully, who else could it be other than Changmen Niepo but the person in the big gray cloak? There was only a few kilometers of distance between him and the town in front of him, but to Changmen Niepo, these few kilometers were like a marathon.
In addition, he was running out of spiritual qi. He felt like he was running out of energy. One must know that from the moment he stepped out of the Fourteenth Prince's Palace, Changmen Niepo had never stopped using his own spirit energy.
"Damned broken bracelet!" Changmen Niepo rolled up his sleeves slightly and looked at the bright and beautiful bracelet on his left hand. At first glance, this bracelet was definitely a priceless treasure. But now, Changmen Niepo wished that he could cut it in half and break this seemingly bright and beautiful bracelet.
At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the moment when he was tricked by the Aunt Qing. He was being duped, was he really being duped by the Aunt Qing? Changmen Niepo was not stupid, he did not walk very far while carrying the bracelet, he could naturally understand the benefits of the bracelet.
However, the benefits of this bracelet would definitely come at a price. Most likely, this was the so-called principle of equal exchange.
From the start till now, only two days had passed. Changmen Niepo clearly felt that the intensity of his own spirit energy was much stronger than the previous day's spirit energy. He had never experienced such rapid improvement.
And all of this swift improvement was due to the "damned broken bracelet" that Changmen Niepo had mentioned before!
"Are we going to rest in the town ahead today?" He raised his hand and whispered into it. If anyone else saw this, they would have thought that the person in front of them was just a fool. There was nothing to say to the bracelet.
"Ah, let's have a rest there. If you are willing to continue walking, I have no objections!"
Hearing this, Changmen Niepo curled his lips. He didn't care whether the other person knew what he was thinking or not. He directly said, "Only then will grandpa Gui continue to walk!"
These past two days had only been two days, and the pain they had suffered could be said to be incomparable. Even though the spiritual energy's intensity had improved at an incredible rate, the amount of suffering had increased tremendously.
"Let's go, the sun is already setting in the west, we're only a few kilometers away from the town," At this time, the jade bracelet in his hand was slightly shining, "I heard that this night is not peaceful!" Who else could it be other than Qing Ming?
As for Qing Ming, he had already used a special kind of body escaping technique and entered the jade bracelet. Although there were two of them, in truth, Changmen Niepo was the only one.
At the same time, Qing Ming also told Changmen Niepo that if he wasn't the one who took action to protect Changmen Niepo, he wouldn't attack his at all.
Before their departure, when Changmen Niepo heard this, he seemed to have a faint sense of familiarity with it. It seemed that somewhere, there was such a scene. But at this moment, he couldn't recall it. However, if he couldn't remember, then so be it. It didn't matter.
From Qing Ming's words, Changmen Niepo knew that when she was needed to make a move, that super great BOSS would most likely be the one that he met. It was the type of BOSS that could kill him with a light touch of its fingertip.
"It's not peaceful?" Retracting his thoughts, Changmen Niepo carefully savored Qing Ming's words, "Why is it not so peaceful!"
"If you take off this jade bracelet, you might be able to fight against it!" The meaning of his words was that Changmen Niepo currently had no way of winning against him. Adding to that his spirit energy was almost depleted, he had reached the point where he was about to run out.
That's right, in this kind of situation, if he really met with the unpeace that Aunt Qing said, then it would truly be unpeace.
In just the past two days, Changmen Niepo had not learnt anything else, but this escaping Changmen Niepo was already at the peak of perfection. At the same time, it also has an extremely profound understanding of the phrase "leaving mountains to live on without worrying about burning firewood".
Running away was not shameful at all. Speaking of which, there were still thirty-six strategies left in the military strategy. How could it be shameful?
His footsteps slowed down, and then slowly, and slowly. Changmen Niepo gathered the last of the Spirit Qi in his body under his feet, and immediately increased his pace, which was even faster than before by who knows how many times.
If others were to look on, the whole thing would have seemed like a quick jog.
Although his speed had increased, Chang Meniepo could feel the Qi in his body draining faster and faster.
"This bracelet..." Changmen Niepo was speechless, "It's already strange for a boy to bring a jade bracelet," under such a helpless situation, Changmen Niepo felt that he was extremely speechless, "Furthermore, what's even more abnormal about this jade bracelet is that every time Changmen Niepo wants to strengthen the spiritual energy in his body, the energy that he absorbs from the jade bracelet will also be lost even more, and it would even be multiplied by several times.
The Soul Sealing Soul Bracelet, that was the name of the jade bracelet that Changmen Niepo was holding in his hand. In other words, this Soul Sealing Bracelet had an extremely strong power to suppress souls. Once the soul was suppressed, the spiritual energy produced by relying on the soul would accordingly weaken.
To be more accurate, the soul was the source of spirit energy. Once the source of spirit energy decreased, it would be strange if the spirit energy didn't decrease. From the looks of it, Changmen Niepo only had the strength of the middle stage of the Body Forging Sixth Grade, and was only at the early stage of the third stage of the Body Tempering realm.
It was only a bracelet, but it was a total of three grades lower. Especially on the first day, Changmen Niepo was extremely uncomfortable.
Of course, the strength of one's talent was indeed the strength of one's talent. Only one day had passed, and up to this day, which is the second day, Changmen Niepo had already begun to get used to it. With such adaptability, in Qing Ming's opinion, it was still rare.
At dusk, the setting sun, with its last afterglow, creates this eternal absence, remaining in the memory of the people on the road, forming an unforgettable memory of beauty. Changmen Niepo was no exception. No matter how many times he looked at the setting sun, he still felt that it was that fresh and there was no sense of repetition.
It was as if the endless black ink had been smeared across the horizon. At this moment, when he raised his head, even the stars had been covered by the thick ink. Not even a trace of light could be seen.
But, coincidentally, Changmen Niepo had already reached the town and was standing under the arch.
On the memorial archway, three large words were written in a flamboyant manner: Ghost Cloud Town!
"Ghost Cloud Town?" Wearing a huge grey cloak, he raised his head and looked at the three flamboyant calligraphy on the arch, "What the hell is this thing!"
For a stately country like the Longshu Country to give a town like this such an eccentric name … From a distance, this Ghost Cloud Town really did look like there was a ghost word in front of its name. It had only just become night. He shouldn't be so lonely these days, right?
"The heck, it's one thing to transcend over, but you want to transcend over to the Silent Hills?"
With just a single glance, he could tell that there was something f * cking silent about this place.
"Aunt Qing, can you explain this?" Changmen Niepo was a little puzzled. Just by looking at the small town, it shouldn't have been so dark at night, right? The ancient people wouldn't do it like this when the sun was setting and the sun was rising, right? At this time, the teahouse at the foot of the mountain wouldn't be like the Ghost Cloud Town where there were only a few people.
Furthermore, looking at those few passersby, Changmen Niepo could tell with a glance that all of them were travelling in a straight line, as if they were hurrying on their way. Rather than calling it hurrying, it would be more accurate to call it hurrying to avoid certain things. Could this have something to do with the "unrest" Aunt Qing had mentioned before?
Even after he had asked for half a day, Changmen Niepo still did not hear what the Aunt Qing had to say. He couldn't help but feel helpless, did this Aunt Qing go to bed?
Fine, fine. Let's go to bed. Right now, he had to find an inn. After walking for two days straight, Changmen Niepo's hands and feet were truly weak. Furthermore, in the past two days, Changmen Niepo had been relying on spirit energy to sustain the needs of his body.
Therefore, he had to fill his stomach when resting. He had yet to reach the stage called Fasting. To truly start training, he would need to be at least a fourth grade Soul Refining cultivator. As for the best Pangu's Qi, it would be best if it could reach the level of Immortal cultivation.
In terms of the current situation, Changmen Niepo completely relying on the spirit energy for two days to sustain his body's energy was already not bad. Furthermore, he was wearing the Soul Sealing Bracelet on his left hand. The amount of spirit energy being suppressed was simply incomparable.
They had already reached the Ghost Cloud Town, and Changmen Niepo could not help but slow down. Although this Ghost Cloud Town was not what Changmen Niepo thought, once night fell, there would be no one at all. However, after nightfall, the people coming in twos and threes made people feel like this was really a small town?
Even if it was a small town, this town was at least twice as big as Tea Fragrance Town at the foot of Tea Fragrance Mountain. Although there weren't many people at Tea Fragrance Town at night, at least it was rather lively, especially in those bright red and green lands.
However, Changmen Niepo had already walked for more than twenty minutes in Ghost Cloud Town, but he did not see even half a cape of captivating red wine.
Furthermore, Changmen Niepo could faintly feel that this Ghost Cloud Town was emitting a trace of a strange aura. When he was under the arch, he hadn't felt anything, but the moment he walked in, the aura became even stronger.
At the entrance of a small street, Changmen Niepo stopped his footsteps and muttered, "I'll stay here for today."
