Chapter 378 Fierce Night ([-]) Thanks to the book friend "Salted Fish That Can't Fly" for the reward!

The night finally fell gradually, and what should come still came.

The entire Taiping Town was brightly lit at this time, and everywhere was brightly lit.

Countless torches have been prepared, and braziers are blazing all over the town.

The darkness brought by the night engulfed all the space except the place illuminated by the torches, and all the intersections that could enter Taiping Town were placed with refusal antlers.

These simple antlers are made of strong branches tied together. The sharpened parts of the branches show a blue-yellow color that is different from the blue-gray bark. They reach the front in the sway of the torch, showing a firm belief.

Once the whole town is mobilized, the energy will be enormous.

The thick trees around the town made stag antlers, sharpened branches for spears, and bamboo for bows and arrows.From Dong Tianxiong's house, a lot of weapons and even a few sets of excellent armor were found.

These equipments are already capable of arming most of the strong men in the town.

The old, weak, women and children in the town were gathered in the open space outside the yamen, and the high houses were guarded by guards. Teams of strong men patrolled and monitored every street and alley under the command of the big men in the town.

The grand master's chair in the court was carried to the gate of the yamen, and Jiang Yuan was sitting on it with a sword.

Around him, there are the leaders of the town, such as the county magistrate, real person Yuheng and others.

The three members of Su Wei's family also stayed by Jiang Yuan's side. Only when they are the closest to Jiang Yuan can they get Jiang Yuan's care.

Although the torrential rain last night had stopped, the sky was still terribly gloomy with dark clouds, just like what Jiang Yuan saw back then.

The ground was still muddy after the rain, and the night wind blew through, making the humid air even colder.

A group of old and weak women and children outside the yamen stayed together nervously. Although hot water and food were sometimes brought to them, the fear in their hearts still could not be dispelled.

Everyone's eyes were vigilantly staring at all directions of this cold night, for fear that some terrifying scenes would appear inside.

After all, last night, the scene of ghosts dancing wildly still made people feel uneasy.

"Cousin, drink tea." Su Wei continued to pour tea for Jiang Yuan.

Not far away, the cousin and aunt were quarreling, their quarrel was sharp and piercing, and it seemed that the cause of the quarrel was because of a beautiful woman that the cousin had always brought with him.

Such quarreling sounds are very abrupt, especially when others dare not speak out.

"Tell them to shut up." Jiang Yuan said impatiently.

Su Mo hastily put down the teapot, turned her head and shouted at her parents:

"Cousin told you to stop arguing!"

The quarrel subsided instantly, and the atmosphere became quiet again.

Jiang Yuan continued to drink his tea, but then he raised his head abruptly, staring at the dark cloud-covered night sky.

He suddenly noticed that the ghost energy reappeared in the night sky, shooting towards the four people in all directions, and some of them fell towards Taiping Town and its surroundings.

These ghost auras are extremely subtle, but they are like sowing seeds widely.

As long as the seeds are sown, they are like weeds on the plain, and they can grow vigorously as long as the spring breeze blows.

If it was last night, Jiang Yuan still suspected that someone was playing tricks in this situation.

So at this time, when this scene reappeared, Jiang Yuan could roughly confirm that the appearance of ghost energy was definitely related to the sacrificial field.

"The sacrificial field has existed since ancient times... Could it be that the production of ghosts is related to it?"

Jiang Yuan didn't know whether his guess was correct, but he knew that Wu Ji must know.

History and poetry all originated from witches.

Poetry originates from the incantations, blessings or curses of witches.

In ancient times, people who were engaged in activities such as offering sacrifices to gods and ghosts, and divination were called "witches", and those who were in charge of astronomy, astrology, calendars, and historical records were called "history".However, these positions were often held by one person at first, called "Witch History".

A group of people like witches often control the most profound and obscure secrets in this world.

At this time, suddenly only the sentinel of the high-rise building was heard shouting loudly:
"It's getting foggy!"

Everyone looked towards the mountains and forests around Taiping Town, and saw thick white mist emerging from the darkness, rolling and filling the mountains and forests.

Accompanied by the dense fog, there were bursts of ghost laughter and ghost cries, and some other unknown things wailed, which was creepy.

"Eternal fog..." Jiang Yuan felt the strange fog again, and finally made his own discovery, "A powerful and mysterious spell..."

He already clearly felt that the power of law around him was surging wantonly, forming such a profound spell.

The feeling of this kind of magic is very similar to the feeling when Gu Shendong used the magic weapon to trap himself, Lu Junsheng and his party in a village.

It's just that Jiang Yuan hadn't felt the power of the law at that time, so he didn't understand what was going on.

Now, as Jiang Yuan has a deeper understanding of the power of law, he feels more intuitively and thoroughly about all this.

At this moment, many of the ghost auras descending from the sky were approaching Taiping Town. They swam and landed like tiny black snakes, looking for the living people on the ground.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand, and countless black air shot out from his palm.

The black air is like countless strands of straight and strangely long steel needles, extending tens of feet, accurately piercing the black snake-like ghost energy descending from the sky, and absorbing all the ghost energy in an instant.

Jiang Yuan's movements were very fast, from jetting out black air to absorbing ghost air, it was only a blink of an eye.

Ordinary people can't notice all this at all, only the real Yuheng on the side looks around in confusion and surprise, and finally focuses his eyes on Jiang Yuan secretly.

Master Yuheng felt something, but the feeling was not real, and he was not sure what happened just now.

After the ghost energy falling from the sky was eaten by Jiang Yuan, there would no longer be ghosts in Taiping Town.

At this time, all the living people in the town need to face are the threats in the thick fog outside the town.

The thick white mist was already rolling closer and closer to the town. Just when people thought that the white mist would pour into the town in an unstoppable manner and completely cover the place, they all stopped.

The wriggling and tumbling white mist all stopped a few feet away from the town. They surrounded the town like a tall fog wall.

"This white mist is so strange," the county magistrate couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is it all around the town and won't come in?"

Such questions are hidden in the bottom of everyone's heart.

Seeing this scene, Master Yuheng seemed to have finally confirmed the worries in his heart, making his face pale:
"This is the eternal fog, that's right... I didn't believe Mr. Jiang said that Taiping Town would face the sacrificial field, but now it seems... we can't get out..."

Hearing that Immortal Yuheng had confirmed the sacrificial site, the county magistrate also began to tremble, facing life and death, not everyone could relax.

At this time, Master Yuheng's eyes lit up again, and he hastily turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan:
"Young Master Jiang knew that there would be a sacrificial field here, but he still stayed here. Could it be that... there is a good way to save people?"

Jiang Yuan was staring at the eternal fog around the town, and something came out of it.

Facing a low growl, several monsters that looked like dogs but not dogs came out of the thick fog and wandered around the Julu antlers at the intersection of the town.

These monsters are the size of a calf. Although they look like dogs, they are skinned dogs, with all the muscles inside exposed.

Their mouths don't bite down like a dog, but from side to side.That way, it was as if the head had been torn open in the middle, and there were circles of fangs inside.

On the two halves of the head split in the middle, there are eight eyes like lychees that have been shelled on each head.And their paws are quite different from dog paws, they look more like human hands.

As these monsters appeared at the entrance of the town, the living people guarding there immediately took action.

Countless feathered arrows shot down at these monsters in an instant, shooting them densely, like hedgehogs.

And this kind of damage can't cause harm to these monsters, I saw them jumping over the antlers with their limbs sensitively, and rushing towards the living people behind.

A row of wooden spears immediately rushed forward, and the first few monsters were immediately pierced.

However, these monsters suffered such severe injuries, but they were completely fine. With great strength, they quickly broke the wooden spears, and immediately bit the living people with their big mouths.

Many living people were instantly torn apart by the monster, and some living people were dragged into the thick fog by the monster.

The strong people guarding the intersection of the town are just some ordinary people. It is already very good that they can persist in the face of these monsters until now.

As soon as the dead saw blood, these living people panicked and broke into an army.They threw down their weapons one after another, screaming in horror and fleeing towards the town, completely daring not to fight the monsters anymore.

The collapse of the defensive force made these dog-like monsters suddenly feel like no one was in the land.They quickly crawled on the walls, or jumped onto the roof, and ferociously charged at the fleeing living people.

Master Yuheng glanced at Jiang Yuan, gritted his teeth and said:
"I'll deal with them!"

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and stopped Master Yuheng:

"These puppies don't need a real person to take action."

With that said, Jiang Yuan took out the gold silk bag from his waist, unplugged it and summoned the ghost inside.

As the black air shot up, Aunt Hong, One Eye, Big Head Ghost, Hanged Ghost, Fatty and One Eye appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.

The five ghosts suddenly Jiang Yuan knelt down and said respectfully:

"Master, what are your orders?"

The appearance of these ghosts immediately startled everyone around them.

The old and weak women and children gathered outside the yamen backed away in horror, women's screams and children's cries continued.

The county magistrate and a group of yamen servants only felt that the surroundings were unbearably cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their legs were trembling, and they were softened into noodles.

Even Daoist Yuheng showed horror on his face, these five ghosts are all extraordinary, and I am afraid they are not inferior to him.Especially that tall eight-headed ghost, whose aura is so ferocious, I'm afraid it has reached a dangerous level.

"Everyone, don't panic!" Jiang Yuan said loudly, "These ghosts are kind by nature, they are inspired by me, and they are here to save you!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, and seeing those ghosts kneeling in front of Jiang Yuan, people felt a little more at ease.

Everyone knows that Jiang Yuan is very powerful and can fly.But no one knows how powerful Jiang Yuan is, after all, no one has seen Jiang Yuan make a move.

But now seeing that even the ghosts surrendered to Jiang Yuan, everyone couldn't help but feel hopeful. It seemed that Jiang Yuan could really help them through this dangerous night.
