Mei Qing soon arrived in front of a withered mountain.
This mountain was straight and towered into the clouds.
The gurgling poisonous water flowed down from the mountain stream.
In the mountain range, the poisonous barrier filled the air.
Just by getting close, Mei Qing could feel endless resentment roaring inside.
"We have never done evil in our lives..."
"Why did we end up like this?!"
"The heavens are unfair!"
"The immortals and Buddhas are unfair!"
That was the roar of the remnant soul of the great demon that died hundreds of years ago!
For hundreds of years, its resentment had cursed this land.
It made the poisonous water flow and not a single blade of grass grow!
Mei Qing felt the soaring resentment and vicious curse.
She took a deep breath and slowly approached.
When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, two balls of green ghost fire suddenly appeared.
They circled around her and attacked her from the left and right.
Mei Qing was naturally prepared. Her hands suddenly grabbed a handful of talismans.
"Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, the root of all Qi!" She chanted in a deep voice, "Five gods protect the body, control lightning!"
Lightning appeared in the talismans one after another.
The two balls of ghost fire were beaten until their bodies dissipated and they wailed endlessly.
They immediately instinctively fled towards the poisonous barrier in the mountain stream.
Mei Qing did not chase after them!
Her goal was not to kill these evil beings at all.
Because they could not be killed!
They were the remnant souls of the dead, the products of being contaminated and distorted by the evil scripture.
With her strength and cultivation, being able to repel and drive them away was already a blessing from the heavens and because she was sufficiently prepared.
Otherwise, the result would probably be reversed.
"I have to hurry!" She thought and stepped into the poisonous barrier.
At the same time, she lit a joss stick that she carried with her.
No matter what, she had to leave this place before the joss stick burned out.
Otherwise, it would be very easy for her to encounter unpredictable omens.
Mei Qing took a deep breath and then activated the Turtle Breath Technique.
She strode into the poisonous barrier and at the same time, stuck two bright talismans on her eyes.
Within this poisonous barrier, her vision was limited, and ordinary Daoist techniques were useless.
She could only rely on this simple bright talisman to see things in a small area and find the most precious thing in this place.
Just like that place of extreme poison, there must be an antidote within seven steps.
Leopard Head Mountain was the source of poison in Yuhua State.
It was also nurturing a holy item that could remove curses and remove impurities!
These holy creatures were born from the poisonous barrier and fed on resentment.
It could be said to be untainted by dirt!
This was also the reason why even though the Leopard Head Mountain was dangerous, there were still countless people who flocked to it every year.
Mei Qing walked forward quickly from the deserted mountain road.
Suddenly …
Her foot stepped on something.
It seemed to be an artifact?
Mei Qing squatted down and picked it up.
He touched the lines on it.
It was a rusty iron plate.
There are words on it?
Mei Qing closed her eyes?
After sensing it for a moment, Zhang Xuan knew that it was a token.
Written on it were the words' strange and tricky '.
From the looks of it, it was left behind by a small demon who used to patrol the mountain under the gate of a big demon.
The moment he learned of the words on the token.
Mei Qing's eyes became absent-minded.
The poison barrier in front of her seemed to have disappeared.
The green mountains and clear waters were back.
Lush grass at the foot of the mountain?
Tall pines and old cypresses, ancient trees in the mountain, at the foot of the cliff?
Elk in pairs; in front of the cliff, badgers and foxes.
It was indeed a place like a peach blossom garden!
She was absent-minded again. The green mountains, clear waters, and quiet and peaceful?
It had already disappeared.
The poison barrier in front of her?
Resentment soared to the sky.
"Damn it!" Mei Qing cursed, "How could I be distracted?"
Being distracted here was no different from courting death!
She hurriedly looked at the incense?
Fortunately, only about a quarter of it was burned.
She immediately continued forward, but after taking a few steps?
She saw that there seemed to be something standing in the poison barrier in front of her.
Mei Qing immediately turned around and left.
But …
That thing?
However, it appeared in the poison barrier in front of her.
"Damn it!" Mei Qing's heart trembled. "I'm afraid I've encountered... an ominous object!"
There were all kinds of ominous and strange things in a place of resentment like the Leopard Head Mountain.
These things were all born of resentment and were conceived by evil scriptures and chaotic methods.
It was the most strange and evil!
Once one encountered it, there was almost no chance of survival!
Even if one was lucky enough to escape, there would be all kinds of disasters and curses that would accompany them for life!
Helpless, Mei Qing could only stop and try the only way to escape -- talk to it.
Based on past examples, these ominous monsters all followed a certain pattern of behavior.
As long as she answered correctly, there was a one in ten thousand chance that she could escape.
Thus, she mustered up her courage and slowly walked forward.
When he saw the thing in the poison barrier, he turned his head around.
"Strange and crafty!" It seemed to regard Mei Qing as the owner of the token. "How many pigs and sheep did you buy?"
Mei Qing's heart trembled!
She knew that she had encountered the most terrifying kind of ominous thing!
It was obsessed with the past, but it existed in the present.
It was reborn from poisonous hatred and was born from self-hatred.
It was born with great magical powers and was crafty and strange.
Mei Qing looked at it, and it also looked at Mei Qing.
Seeing that Mei Qing didn't answer, its body gradually twisted.
"Strange and crafty! Why aren't you answering me? "The resentment in his voice gradually turned cold.
Obviously, Mei Qing knew that if she didn't answer, she might die here.
Mei Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, "I... I didn't buy it!"
"You didn't buy it?" Its voice became normal again. "What's going on? Didn't the king give you enough money? "
"Yes!" Mei Qing could only say, "The money the king gave me isn't enough to buy pigs and sheep!"
"You don't know, but nowadays, pigs and sheep are rising rapidly!"
When she said these words, the feeling of discord in Mei Qing's heart was extremely strong!
This Leopard Head Mountain used to be the residence of a great demon, and now it was even more strange and ominous.
But...
This strange ominous question revealed a piece of information: the great demons and demons of this Leopard Head Mountain actually obeyed the rules and actually paid to buy pigs and sheep?
Shouldn't they rob it when they see it?
Shouldn't they bully men and women?
How could they pay to buy it?
She heard the strange voice in the poison barrier say, "In that case, send the invitation for me!"
It slowly walked over, holding a rotten and broken box in its twisted and withered hand.
It handed the box to Mei Qing. "Hurry up and go!"
"Go to Bamboo Mountain and invite the old king to the mountain to sit in the chief seat!"
"I'll go buy some pigs and sheep!"
As it spoke, the strange turned its head and walked into the depths of the poison barrier.
Mei Qing's hands were trembling, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
Because she knew that she had encountered the most terrifying kind of strange and ominous thing: being entrusted by it!
To the strange, the entrusted matter must be completed!
Otherwise...
In the sky and the earth...
There was nowhere to hide!
At the same time, she was extremely glad in her heart.
Because although this kind of terror was terrifying, it was extremely rare.
Only those ominous monsters could encounter it when they were completely immersed in the past.
Moreover, as long as they completed their commission, they would definitely obtain their goodwill.
In the future, they could even obtain their help.
At least they could obtain their protection.
There was once someone who completed a strange commission and safely went deep into an evil mountain to collect all kinds of holy objects and protect a place!
But...
Once they could not complete the commission, the person who failed to keep the appointment would definitely die without a burial place!
Mei Qing gasped for breath.
The broken and rotten lacquer box in her hand made her feel like she was holding a hot potato.
"Forget it! Forget it! "She thought," I'll give it a try even if I have to risk my life! "
But now, she needed to find the holy object that grew here as soon as possible and bring it back.
Because...
Her master was waiting for the holy object to save his life!
Thinking of her master, she no longer had any scruples.
She was saved by her master. If it weren't for her master's mercy, she would have been put into a steamer long ago.
In this evil world, it wasn't just demons that harmed people and the earth that was poisonous.
Morally corrupt humans, starving people …
It was even more terrifying than demons and freaks!
At least, demons and freaks usually only existed in one place.
As for humans, they could roam the earth and do all kinds of evil!
"Huh?" Mei Qing turned around and saw the place where the strange creature first appeared. A pool of clear water appeared on the spot.
She walked over and saw a few silver-white, palm-sized fish swimming in the clear water.
"Immortal spirit crucian carp!" Mei Qing was overjoyed. She immediately squatted down and grabbed the crucian carp.
Then, she took out a red cloth full of talismans from her body and wrapped the crucian carp.
At the same time, she picked up a gourd and filled it with clear water.
She was overjoyed!
"This immortal spirit crucian carp is a good thing!"
Legend had it that the immortal spirit crucian carp was a fish that could purify resentment.
One could cure a hundred poisons and get rid of a thousand evils. It was the most magical!
And the accompanying spiritual water could make people feel refreshed, nourish the gods in their bodies, and make people not afraid of the invasion of demons!
In the market, these two things were priceless treasures.
After the gourd was filled with clear water, the puddle on the ground disappeared into thin air.
Mei Qing stood up happily.
However, she heard a strange exhortation, "Strange and crafty, go quickly and come back quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the Rake Auction tomorrow cannot be without the old king!"
Mei Qing's entire body trembled!
She understood that the freak was right next to her, watching her from the side.
And this puddle of clear water and the immortal spirit crucian carp in the water were the reward it paid!
It was not immersed in the past!
It knew everything!
Mei Qing quickly replied, "Okay, okay!"
She could only agree!
"Then go quickly!"
"Yes!" Mei Qing ran forward as if she was running for her life.
The incense in her hand burned quickly.
She soon realized that she was not walking on the road out of the mountain.
Instead, she was walking along a strange and rugged mountain road towards another strange and terrifying mountain!
The resentful roar in the mountain was ten times that of Leopard Head Mountain!
"Die!" Mei Qing thought.
She knew that she had become the contact between the two sources of evil poison.
She had become a part of their magic.
Usually, such a person would eventually become a strange omen.
She would become the real 'strange and crafty'.
She would be possessed by its parasites!
But...
She had no choice!
Because her feet were no longer under her control.
Puff!
At a certain moment.
Her body seemed to have broken through a barrier.
Everything in front of her changed in an instant.
And she appeared in another world.
There was no resentment, no poisonous water, and no omen.
There was only fog in front of her!
"What is this place?" Mei Qing asked in confusion.
She lowered her head and looked at the thing in her hand.
The damaged and decaying lacquer box seemed to be undergoing some kind of change in the fog.
The broken lacquer box was slowly healing.
The traces of decay were slowly disappearing.
Its former color and appearance were returning.
A moment later, the lacquer box was overflowing with seven colors.
As for the rusty and tattered token in Mei Qing's hand, it had also been restored.
On the iron-green token, four words could be clearly seen: Strange and crafty.
Mei Qing swallowed her saliva. She knew that she might have been involved in an even more terrifying matter.
… …
Ling Ping'an stretched lazily!
He looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was 11: 30!
"Wuhu!" He twisted his neck and looked at the number of words on the document. There were 2000 words, no more or less.
Very good!
As expected of the sixth white after the Five Whites of the Central Plains!
He gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
"Time to sleep!" He turned off the computer and stood up.
The kitten in the corner of the counter immediately jumped down.
"Eh..." Ling Ping'an looked outside the door. "It's fog again!"
"Could it be that there will be customers coming tonight?" He couldn't help but look forward to it.
In his memory, it seemed that most of his customers came in the middle of the night in the fog.
It should be the fog that forced these customers who returned late to find his bookstore.
Buying books was fake, borrowing a flashlight was real...
However...
Ling Ping'an didn't care.
Who cared what the reason was?
Those who could come in to spend money were the best customers!
