Chapter 205: Night Visit To Huangsha City
Chapter 205 Exploring Yellow Sand City at Night
The sandstorm is still raging, but it also isolates part of the wind and sand, and the rocky Gobi blocks the scorching sun.
But even so, Huangsha City still has to face the terrifying temperature difference of dozens of degrees between day and night.
It’s just that compared to the hot day, the night is really better. After all, the cold can be relieved by adding clothes.
The two people from the Gobi were wrapped tightly and led the way with the light from the lanterns, heading for the entrance and exit of the Gobi.
The leader was an old man with a Taoist money sword hanging from his waist, and worn gossip ornaments hanging from the scabbard.
The younger Gobi people are mainly responsible for lifting heavy objects, and the sacks on their shoulders are full of corpses.
His mouth kept saying some fanatical and ignorant words, which made the old man frown again and again, and he was about to reprimand.
“Master Shashanzi, do you really want to become an immortal when you say that the child of the sixth brother’s family is lucky enough not to die?”
“Azhuo, it’s not bad to have one immortal among thousands of people. Don’t speculate on things that are unclear.”
Azhuo sighed after hearing this, and said in a low voice: “Liu Chuan is so talented that he died on the road of immortality, it is better to be mediocre like me.”
His expression was a little lonely, feeling like he was envious of the corpse that failed to become immortal.
The accents of the two people are almost the same as those of the residents of Heshan Town, Xiangxiang Township. It can be seen that they should be from the same lineage.
Sha Shanzi was relatively calm, and reached out to touch a dozen corpses in the sack.
They came to the mass grave where the corpses were stacked, and skillfully took the table carved from the rock on the side to prepare for the sacrifice.
The incense made of corpse oil was lit, and it looked very strange in the quiet winter.
The two people meticulously performed the complex sacrifice process, which is very similar to the Taoist rebirth and transcendence, so it can be seen that there is an inheritance.
Sha Shanzi’s original name was Zhang Jun. Because he was an official Taoist priest in Huangsha City, he had a Taoist name, although he was only a Taoist priest who was specially responsible for disposing of corpses.
He began to sing loudly: “The edict of the Supreme Being, surpassing your lonely soul, ghosting everything, and being grateful for all four lives.
He who has a head is overtaken, he who has no head ascends, he kills with a spear and a knife, and he dives and hangs a rope.
Death openly and secretly, injustice and injustice, creditors and enemies, begging sons…”
Sha Shanzi didn’t notice at all that there was a black figure wriggling in the mass grave, and quietly stuck out part of his body to check.
Ren Qing is only attached to the ghost image, unable to use the ability of twin nightmares, and can only observe with blurred vision.
He found that the so-called “Taoist” not far away had no breath of magic at all, just reciting the mantra.
As for this rebirth mantra, Ren Qing also saw it in the books of Wuwei Taoist Temple, and it should have been passed down from ancient Taoism.
According to Tian Daozi’s annotations on the book, his explanation of the usage of the rebirth spell is rather vague, and he may not yet understand the Gobi people.
Ren Qing hesitated slightly.
He is dozens of meters away from Shashanzi. If he rushes past, he will be found and said otherwise, but it is likely to dissipate if he can’t hold on.
But if the priest doesn’t come again in the near future, wouldn’t he miss it because of it.
At this moment, Ah Zhuo picked up the sack and walked to the mass grave.
He looked at a hideous corpse, and with the strange sound from the wind and sand, his expression seemed a little scared.
Azhuo took the corpse out of the sack and carefully placed it on the mass grave: “After death, the Yama Temple will do as you wish, don’t be a human again when you reincarnate, and get to the Taoist Immortal as soon as you climb the clouds…”
The corpses were placed and arranged one after another, their limbs overlapping each other, probably because they were afraid of being hung up by the wind and sand.
He helped the last dwarf boy corpse tidy up his clothes, with a slight look of envy in his eyes.
A Zhuo whispered to himself: “If only I were you, Auntie and Auntie said it well, Zhao Wendao, Xiu can die…”
At this moment, the corpse behind Ah Zhuo suddenly moved, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his legs were weak and his body trembled.
Ren Qing used the sound to strike, and wanted to attach himself to Azhuo’s shadow, but suddenly found several corpses in the sack that seemed to be about to die.
The corpses all looked like children, and their bodies were thin and withered, but they were obviously still alive, and their lips were constantly trembling.
Ren Qing hesitated for a moment.
The purpose of Ghost Shadow is to find out the situation in the Gobi, and when the main body passes through the sandstorm, he can obtain the Dionysian Law as soon as possible.
But ghosts are hidden in the shadows of living people, and their influence is really limited, and wanton activities may be detected by monks, which will startle the snakes.
But these children are on the verge of death, and most of the three spirits and seven spirits have dispersed.
If ghosts are possessed in the Niwan Palace of children, it is more secure, and even at night, they can control themselves, but they are only afraid of dying inexplicably during the day.
The transformation of the sand boat is coming to an end, Ren Qing will go to the Gobi soon, and there must be a harvest in a short time.
If you really can’t do it, get out of your body.
Ren Qing gritted his teeth, and the ghost figure merged into the outermost corpse, which should be Liu Chuan in Azhuo’s mouth.
Liu Chuan’s body is close to death, his body is dehydrated, and there is only one soul and three souls left in the Niwan Palace.
Ren Qing chose to directly station in Niwan Palace and forcibly replaced the soul with a ghost.
Azhuo was lying on the pile of dead people and couldn’t help shouting: “Taoist, there are demons!”
Sha Shanzi frowned, but he still held back his dislike to finish reciting the rebirth mantra, bowed respectfully and walked quickly towards Ah Zhuo.
“Suddenly, you can’t become an official Taoist priest like this.”
“really have……”
Before Azhuo finished speaking, Ren Qing controlled his body and moved slightly, and even Sha Shanzi couldn’t help showing surprise.
“Uh.”
Ren Qing continued to speak to attract attention.
Sha Shanzi hesitated for a moment, then approached Liu Chuan’s body and put his hand on his neck. As a result, he could really sense a weak pulse.
The rest of the children’s bodies have long been unresponsive, leaving some vitality in the Niwan Palace.
Azhuo saw this and asked, “What should I do, Daoist Shashanzi?”
Sha Shanzi hesitantly took out the water bag from his arms, and then poured a little bit on Ren Qing’s mouth, who swallowed hungrily into his throat.
Ren Qing therefore found that the Gobi people’s absorption of water is extremely exaggerated, almost every drop is not wasted, and it is locked in the body.
More water is poured into the child’s mouth, and the skin becomes plump.
Sha Shanzi is very puzzled, how can anyone still survive in such a state, usually, the water will be lost as soon as possible and become a Zeren.
Ren Qing continued to pretend to be in a coma.
Sha Shanzi said hesitantly: “Take it back to the Taoist temple, it’s best to find his parents, if not, return it to the government, maybe he can continue on the road to immortality.”
He picked up Ren Qing and carried him on his back, and hurriedly walked in the direction of Huangsha City.
Azhuo hurriedly followed behind. When he heard Chengxian Road, he couldn’t help but look in the direction of the ladder, not knowing what he was yearning for.
Ren Qing took the opportunity to narrow his eyes, this body’s vision is much better than ghosts.
There are yellow sands all over the place, and occasionally mummified corpses can be seen hanging on the pillars, which shows that not everyone is eligible for the mass graves.
Shashanzi soon came to Huangshan City, and there was no city wall at all.
In the open space outside the city, there are more than a dozen half-meter-sized glazed hoods, all of which are trapped with thin and thin Gobi people, with extremely desperate expressions.
Ren Qing quickly reacted.
The glass cover is clearly used to collect water. When the sun shines on it, the inside will become hot like a warm shed.
The water in the Gobi body will be distilled out.
Even if you die, the most valuable resources must be stripped away.
But looking at Ah Zhuo’s contemptuous look, the glass hood should be a criminal who commits a crime.
Ren Qing didn’t know why a child like Liu Chuan who died because of his immortality would be dehydrated.
The town is still very lively, especially when the day and night alternate.
All kinds of vendors are placed on both sides of the street, and the things they sell are very rough. Except for some stone utensils, they are all meat.
Ren Qing found that it was not human flesh, the flesh was white and rich in fat.
There are too many Taoist priests among the residents of Huangsha City. Three or four out of ten are Taoists, and many of them are familiar with Shashanzi.
Some of them held jars the size of a palm in their hands. These Taoists were most revered by the Gobi people, and even Shashanzi would deliberately get out of the way.
Taoist decorations are everywhere on the streets.
The most obvious one is the ladder to the sky, where several Gobi people can be seen climbing up, reinforcing the ladder with white bones.
However, Ren Qing found that the ladder seems to have reached a certain height, and the Gobi people are now starting to build platforms on the ladder.
He was stunned for a moment. This distance is indeed not much different from the clear and empty view of the clouds. Could it really be possible to climb into it through the ladder?
What does Sha Shanzi mean by becoming an immortal?
Ren Qing felt that even if this body was controlled by himself, it was likely to die inexplicably in a certain daytime.
Sha Shanzi brought the two of them to a simple stone house. There were stone statues of three Taoist ancestors in the lobby, and they were offering incense.
They were just about to rest for a while, when Ren Qing pretended to wake up, and to be on the safe side, another ghost figure was separated and hidden in the statue.
However, to control Liu Chuan requires at least two to three tenths of the ghost image, and the remaining wisp can barely last a long time without dissipating.
At this time, the sun will rise, and there is not much time left.
Sha Shanzi asked in relief, “Liu Chuan, are you alright?”
Ren Qing shook his head, stared at the stone sculpture of the Taoist ancestor, and said strangely: “Shashanzi, I want to become an immortal.”
Sha Shanzi’s back is cold, how can a child say the voice that only adults have, and the eyes that are revealed can’t be seen at all.
He suppressed his distracting thoughts, thinking that he was overthinking: “I wanted to send you back to my parents, but since you asked for that…”
“Then I’ll ask you again.”
“Becoming an immortal in the three realms is by no means easy. Just eating yourself is not something ordinary people can do. Are you sure you want to become immortal?”
“Sure.”
After Ren Qing finished speaking, his expression became dull, the outside of the house was already bright, and without the control of ghosts, Liu Chuan was like a corpse.
Sha Shanzi stepped forward to check, and his face suddenly turned blue.
Although Liu Chuan was beating and breathing in front of him, he didn’t respond. According to his understanding, this was a sign that his soul had completely dissipated.
So who exactly was communicating with you just now?
Azhuo couldn’t help but interjected: “Taoist, when will you send Liu Chuan to the government?”
“immediately.”
