Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 153
Zhang Yuqing came to the window suspiciously, lowered his head to the gap, and met those eyes.

"Hello!" Zhang Yuqing greeted, "Do you need help?"

He opened the window, and there was nothing but night outside the window.

Zhang Yuqing stuck his head out curiously, and looked around for a week, but there was no one there.

"Damn it?"

He shook his head and closed the window.

After taking two steps towards the bed, a cold gaze fell on his vest again.

Zhang Yuqing turned her head, and eyes appeared again in the gap of the window.

He impatiently opened the window again, but it was still empty.

Now Zhang Yuqing's six senses are extremely sensitive, if there is really something outside the window, it will definitely not escape his perception.

Zhang Yuqing had no choice but to close the window, then lowered his head and stared at the dark gap.

Sure enough, after a while, those eyes suddenly flashed out, and they looked at Zhang Yuqing coldly.

He stretched out his hand and slammed the window into pieces.

The night wind poured in from the window, and when there was no gap, the eyes disappeared.

When Zhang Yuqing was about to go back to the bed, the cold gaze appeared again.

This time, it was not a line of sight, but several.

He turned his head, and saw pairs of eyes staring at Zhang Yuqing from all directions, whether it was the gap in the cabinet, the darkness under the bed, on the beams, or between the cracks in the door.

These things can avoid Zhang Yuqing's perception, but they don't show up, they just hide in the dark and peep, which makes Zhang Yuqing very annoyed.

Zhang Yuqing lay on the bed for a while, those eyes suddenly disappeared in the darkness and never appeared again.

"Finally gone?"

But Zhang Yuqing sat up from the bed again: "I don't know how those four children are doing?"

Now it is basically certain that there is evil in this wild shop.

But what kind of evil is this that Zhang Yuqing can't find out, Zhang Yuqing still doesn't know.

Zhang Yuqing opened the door and walked out. Outside the door was a dark corridor, with eight guest rooms facing each other on both sides of the corridor.

The four children lived next door. Zhang Yuqing took two steps towards the children's room, but stopped suddenly.

He turned his head and saw a green face suddenly appeared on the wall in the darkness.

It seemed to be a man's face, with only two black holes for his eyes and a wide open mouth.

This face seemed to seep out of the wall, with a distorted and painful expression, and a hoarse and indistinct voice came out from the wide-open mouth:
"Help me save me."

Looking at that face, Zhang Yuqing said:

"I'm busy."

I only heard that face say intermittently:

"I can help you get it"

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a while, then said, "Then let's talk about it in detail."

"Squeak!" There was a sharp sound of the door.

Holding the oil lamp in one hand and the long sword in the other, Ni Wenshan walked out of the house into the corridor in a daze.

Her whole body was already soaked in sweat, and her originally bright red lips had turned white at this moment, and she was constantly trembling.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing quietly in the darkness of the corridor.

The figure was very strange, as if it had been facing the wall, motionless like a sculpture.

"Who?!"

Ni Wenshan trembled uncontrollably, holding up the oil lamp to shine forward.

In the dim light, Zhang Yuqing turned his head slowly.

Ni Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Zhang Yuqing, and her tone of voice was filled with tears from being overly frightened:

"What are you doing standing here alone in the middle of the night? Don't you know that scaring people can scare people to death!"

Zhang Yuqing said calmly, "Don't you think it's strange? There seem to be many people in this wild shop, but they block our perception of the six senses."

Ni Wenshan trembled even more: "You, don't scare me anymore!"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head slightly: "I'll go and see those children, and you should also go and see your classmates."

After speaking, Zhang Yuqing came to the door of the child's room, stretched out his hand and pushed the door latch with great force, and then walked in.

In the dark room, four thin figures were squatting on the bed, they hugged each other and put their heads against each other.

Zhang Yuqing came to the bedside: "Are you all okay?"

"Master?" A surprised voice came out.The four children on the bed raised their heads one after another and looked towards Zhang Yuqing.

I saw that there were four identical blue faces, with bright red blood slowly flowing from their mouths, noses, ears and eyes.

Their smiles were very strange, they only had white eyes but no dark eyes, staring straight at Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing reached out and grabbed them.

However, their bodies seemed to have no substance, allowing Zhang Yuqing's hands to pass through their bodies, like air.

On those four identical faces, the weird smiles became brighter and brighter.

Zhang Yuqing thought for a while, and then suddenly flames burst out from his palm.

There was only a sound of "嗞嗞!", and the four people on the bed disappeared quickly like a canvas being torn apart.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhang Yuqing's mouth: "Interesting."

At this time, there was a rustling sound from the bottom of the bed, followed by a hand stretched out, and then quickly retracted.

Zhang Yuqing squatted down, tilted her head and looked under the bed.

Under the bed, four children Chen Yin, Li Siyan, Qian Luo and Ding Ze were hiding in terror.

"It's me." Zhang Yuqing illuminated his face with the torch in his hand.

"It's really a master!" The four children exclaimed.

Then they got out from under the bed one after another, surrounded Zhang Yuqing and almost cried in fright: "Master, someone was watching us just now, they have been hiding in the dark and watching us, we are so scared!"

Zhang Yuqing patted their heads:
"Don't be afraid if the master is here, come with me."

He took the four children out the door and was about to walk downstairs when he stopped suddenly.

"Blood smell?"

He stopped in his tracks and turned his head, the dark corridor looked deep and cold.

Zhang Yuqing came to a guest room along the corridor. The door of the guest room was closed and it was dark.

He stretched out his hand and pushed towards the door, but then his hand passed directly through the door, as if the door had no substance.

Flame sprang from the hand again, and the door was like a film screen that was ignited, quickly dissipating around the flame.

As the door disappears, bright light shines from the room.

I saw several oil lamps lit in the room, and the door of the guest room was still there, but it was opened towards both sides.

A male disciple of Guan Qingzong was sitting in front of the bed. His two fingers had already pierced his eye sockets, and blood continued to flow down his fingers.

And Ni Wenshan was opening her mouth in horror in front of him, as if she was shouting, but no sound came out.

Then I saw Ni Wenshan took out a handkerchief and medicine, and panickedly stopped the bleeding of the male disciple who was in pain.

Everything in the house was happening, and it was supposed to break the silence of the night, but strangely, there was no sound.

It was like... watching a silent movie.

Zhang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then stepped across the threshold.

In an instant, Ni Wenshan's cries and the male disciple's screams entered Zhang Yuqing's ears clearly in an instant.

Ni Wenshan seemed to notice Zhang Yuqing now, she turned her head and cried:
"I don't know why he did this. He's so scared, and so am I!"

Zhang Yuqing didn't care about them, he turned his head, the corridor was empty, and the four children following him disappeared.

So Zhang Yuqing came to the corridor again, and the four children appeared around him again.

"I see. Sight and sound can be separated and blocked by some kind of force. It can even create illusions. At present, only the sense of smell is reliable."

Zhang Yuqing smiled and stopped caring about Ni Wenshan and that male disciple.

Now he is more concerned about the coachman. If the coachman is gone, who will drive?
So Zhang Yuqing came to the coachman's door, opened the door and walked in.But he saw the coachman lying on the bed, reeking of alcohol and snoring profusely.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't help but feel helpless. During the meal, the gang of old Jianghu who belonged to Qingzong refrained from drinking alcohol because of their vigilance.

But the coachman, seeing that the shopkeeper was dead, didn't know whether he was out of fear or thought he would be able to drink free wine. He took out the fine wine that the shopkeeper had treasured during his lifetime and drank it all in one go, and ended up getting as drunk as a puddle of mud.

It was his inadvertent approach that allowed him to sleep peacefully until now.

Zhang Yuqing scooped up a ladle of water from the bucket in the room, and splashed it on the driver's face.

The coachman shuddered and sat up suddenly.After seeing that it was Zhang Yuqing, he asked suspiciously: "Guest officer, is it dawn?"

Zhang Yuqing was too lazy to explain to him, so he grabbed his collar and pulled it out.

In the corridor, Ni Wenshan also helped the blind male disciple out. When she saw Zhang Yuqing, she cried helplessly:
"Eldest senior brother committed suicide, second senior brother also gouged out his own eyes, how could this happen?"

Zhang Yuqing said calmly, "Go to the first floor first."

He led a group of people down the stairs to the downstairs hall.

But it was dark in the hall, and the night wind was blowing leaves and pouring in from the open door.

"Master!" Ni Wenshan couldn't help calling out.

However, in the darkness, no one responded.

Zhang Yuqing took out the fire folder and lit a leeward oil lamp, the soft light made the surroundings clear.

As the light spread, Mu Feiran's figure also emerged from the darkness.

His hair was disheveled, and he sat alone on a bench with his head bowed, with a sharp sword across his knees.

Zhang Yuqing closed the open door to prevent Night Breeze from intruding.

Then he came to Mu Feiran and squatted down, patted Mu Feiran's shoulder:

"Master Mu, are you alright?"

Mu Feiran trembled all over, then slowly raised his head.

His eyes were full of bright red blood, and he looked haggard and tired.His voice was also hoarse:
"I know Zhang Shaoxia. What's going on with all this?"

Mu Feiran murmured: "Those are all enemies I killed in the rivers and lakes. Now they have turned into ghosts and come back to seek revenge on me!"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head disapprovingly: "Calm down, Sect Master Mu."

At this time, Ni Wenshan helped the male disciple who had gouged out his eyes to Mu Feiran, and cried, "Master! Eldest brother hanged himself in the room. Second senior brother gouged out his own eyes, and I didn't have time to stop it."

Mu Feiran let out a long sigh: "Retribution. This is retribution!"

Zhang Yuqing didn't have time to listen to Mu Feiran's retribution, he killed so many people, and he didn't see anyone turn into a ghost to take revenge.

He walked around the house, and finally came to the coachman: "Coachman, has something similar happened in this wild store before?"

The coachman also figured out the situation now. He is a local and knows a lot about the situation here. He immediately shook his head and said:
"We haven't heard of any evil spirits in the official road of Erquan Town for several years. If there really are, then who would dare to open a shop here?"

Zhang Yuqing nodded, and continued wandering around the store, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, Mu Feiran let out another terrifying scream.

He was terrified, pointing at a certain place in the hall and yelling hysterically: "Don't come here! Don't come to seek revenge on me! I had no choice but to!"

Zhang Yuqing looked at the place he pointed, and saw that in the shadow under a square table, there were three blue faces staring at Mu Feiran coldly.

Everyone was startled by these terrifying faces, and they all moved away from the square table.

But soon, except for Mu Feiran, everyone else started screaming in terror.

Wherever the flames could not be found, no matter in the corners, crevices or roofs, blue faces began to appear, staring at everyone.

The eyes of everyone in the hall were quickly attracted by the faces they were familiar with.

Ni Wenshan cried out with a fat face: "Aren't you already dead? I killed you because you wanted to bully me! Why did you come here?"

The coachman also collapsed to the ground in fright, staring at the two pale faces with unbearable fear:
"Father, mother! I was wrong! I shouldn't have listened to that bastard girl back then, I should have been filial to you! I was wrong! You don't look for me again, okay?"

Even the four children seem to have familiar faces: "Mom! Why did you sell me? There are so many brothers and sisters, why did you sell me?"

"Sister! Why don't you persuade your parents? Brother! Why don't you persuade them? I don't want to leave you! I really don't want to!"

An indescribable sense of panic pervaded the hall in an instant.

Zhang Yuqing stared at these crazy people, and he felt something unusual.

These people are not just frightened by those terrifying faces, but their fear seems to be strongly stimulated and continuously expanded, making them completely lost the ability to think, and can only immerse themselves in fear and cannot extricate themselves.

"What kind of evil is this? In addition to creating illusions, it also has the ability to amplify people's negative emotions."

Zhang Yuqing looked at the faces emerging from the dark place one by one, looked around, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Strange, how come I don't know anyone—huh? Damn!"

Zhang Yuqing finally found a familiar face, and the strangest thing was that it was his own!
At this time, it was the little girl Qianluo who was staring at the face that was exactly the same as her own and appeared in a slightly opened cabinet.
