Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 5 Four Halls and Nineteen Rudders
However, despite having such ability, he did not leave immediately. It was obvious that he was afraid of the dirty things lurking in the pine forest and wanted to rush out together with more people.
Others also looked at Tu Feng in surprise, obviously shocked that he was able to get the token so quickly.
"Two quarters of an hour is not too short."
Lai Saburo couldn't help but say.
Judging from his expression, he obviously wanted to stay and wait until dawn.
The same is true for Zheng Guanxi and Xu Youfang.
There are relatively few tombs in Lijiafen, the terrain is open, and there is no chilling dark clouds and fog outside. Compared with the outside world with corpses everywhere, pungent stench , and ghosts, it is much better.
"Do you really think that the people from Xiangling will leave such a big loophole for us to exploit?" Tu Feng said coldly.
"Of course the people from Xiangling will not leave any loopholes. However, looking at the tokens here, there are only ten in total. That is to say, only ten people can pass the test. Picking out ten from six hundred people is already quite harsh. If ghosts come again, how many can survive? That's not a test, that's a massacre." Xu Rui said.
"Brother Xu is right. Since it is a test, we must always leave a glimmer of hope." Wang Qi agreed.
Zheng Guanxi, Lai Sanlang and Xu Youfang also nodded in agreement.
Tu Feng glanced at Xu Rui coldly, ignored everyone, and walked aside to sit cross-legged.
He frowned, this guy is too violent.
I refute you and you get turned upside down. Who do you think you are?
Too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Brothers, what kind of force is this Xiangling? Why have I never heard of it before?" Xu Rui asked .
Perhaps because he pointed out a way out for everyone, Wang Qi, Lai Sanlang and others spoke with a little more enthusiasm.
"Brother, you are not from Sanxiang, right?" Wang Qi said with a smile.
"My ancestors are from Xingcheng, but I've been away for so many years that I've almost forgotten my hometown dialect. I'm really ashamed."
Xu Rui is used to speaking Mandarin, which can easily lead to misunderstandings for outsiders.
"I see."
"Speaking of Xiangling, everyone in our Sanxiang Green Forest Road knows him. He is said to have 100,000 disciples. Even the warlords in Xingcheng dare not provoke him. He is truly awe-inspiring."
Wang Qi's tone was filled with envy.
Lai Saburo took over the conversation.
"It is rumored that Xi Ling is doing a big business, selling opium and smuggling arms, and they are well connected with both the black and white worlds." He lowered his voice deliberately, "And they also make money from the dead."
Zheng Guanxi and Xu Youfang were puzzled.
"It's tomb robbing."
The two of them suddenly realized.
"No wonder they can drive those dirty things."
"It is rumored that there are many secret treasures in Xiangling, which can not only drive away ghosts, but also zombies and monsters." Wang Qi said.
"It would be great if we could join them and master this secret treasure. Then we will be rich and prosperous for the rest of our lives." Xu Youfang's tone was full of envy.
When everyone heard this, they showed anticipation on their faces.
We all eat grains and have our stomachs full of desires. Who doesn’t want a beautiful wife and concubines, wealth and glory?
"Brothers, do you know who is the leader of Xiangling? What gangs are there inside?" Xu Rui asked.
This is what he is most curious about.
Is this Xiang Ling the same Xiang Ling he knows?
After all, the Xi Ling in Ghost Blows Out the Light doesn’t have the ability to ward off ghosts.
"The chief of Xiangling is called Chen Yuntian, and people in the martial arts world call him 'Half Sky Chen Jiuye', which means that in Sanxiang, he, Chen Jiuye, is only half a head shorter than the sky." Wang Qi said with envy in his tone.
He also wants such power to call the shots.
"There are four branches under the Xiangling Sect: Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, and Crane. People in the martial arts world say, 'Tigers are fierce, leopards are sinister, and cranes are cautious; it is better to offend the King of Hell than the Dragon.' No one knows how many people there are in the Xiangling Dragon Branch, or what they look like, because those who know are all dead."
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
Xiang Ling's strength was so overwhelming that everyone was breathless.
too strong.
Wang Qi adjusted his mood.
"In addition to the four halls, Xiangling has 19 branch offices throughout the three Hunan provinces, including Beihu in the north, Xijiang in the east, Yunnan and Guizhou in the west, and Guangnan in the south."
"I didn't expect Xiangling to be so powerful." Zheng Guanxi exclaimed.
"If not, how could the people in the government office cooperate with them and send us here?"
Xu Rui frowned slightly.
He was not sure if this was the world he thought it was. After all, the book did not mention the four major halls and nineteen branch offices of Xiangling.
Of course, the information reflected in a book is definitely not as rich as that in the real world.
But the huge gap in the middle made him quickly give up the idea of using his familiarity with the plot to profit for himself.
correct.
While they were chatting, more people kept coming here to get tokens.
Because they decided to wait until dawn before leaving, Wang Qi and the others did not call anyone over.
After experiencing the ghost, everyone became extremely cautious and no one came up to make friends.
As more and more people came, and the tenth person who came here without a token appeared, Xu Rui suddenly remembered a detail that he had overlooked.
The test that Xiangling brings to them may not only be ghosts, but also human hearts!
In fact, everyone is not stupid. Seeing that more and more people cannot get the token, those who got the token in advance subconsciously became alert.
The key point is that the token is not big, no one would be stupid enough to hold it in their hands, and it was dark. So many latecomers didn't know who had the token.
Therefore, the atmosphere became more and more weird.
Xu Rui and Wang Qi exchanged glances and subconsciously moved closer to each other.
At this time, there is strength in numbers.
Moreover, they all have tokens, so they don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back by the other party.
Time passed by . Nearly a hundred people gathered near the Li Family Tomb. After that, no one came.
Obviously, the previous ghost level directly eliminated more than half of the people, which shows how cruel it is.
The atmosphere at this moment was extremely depressing, but no one stepped forward.
When it comes to a matter of life and death, no one is a fool.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly spread over them.
"Ghost, ghost!"
The panicked shouts instantly made the originally quiet crowd explode, and they all gathered towards the center.
Xu Rui subconsciously turned his head to look.
really.
At the edge of the pine forest, an old man holding a pipe, with a shriveled body and a cold expression, was floating in the air. Even if one could not see clearly, one could clearly feel the greed that penetrated the soul from his deep gaze.
And he's not the only ghost.
More than twenty ghosts surrounded everyone from all directions.
Although the gap between the two ghosts was large, no one dared to escape from it.
