Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 554 Leng Yan’s tablet!
boom!
click!
Suddenly, a loud thunder sounded in the sky!
As the wind and clouds changed, the whole world became dark.

Only scattered ice and snow remained, reflecting a faint fluorescence.

"There's actually thunder in a place like this?"

Gao Shengzhong's eyes were full of surprise.

It is winter now, the air is cold and dry, and the solar radiation is weak, so convection is not easy to form in the air, so lightning rarely occurs.

Especially in a place like the extremely cold region, thunder should not occur!
"As the old saying goes, thunder in the snow means piles of graves! This is a bad omen!"

Someone said in a deep voice.

"Is it a bad omen?"

Zhang Junmo glanced around.

The houses were all filled with coffins, and inside the coffins were corpses and evil spirits!

Isn't it just a pile of graves? This is no longer an ominous sign, but a real ominous place!
Everyone gathered together, their true essence and supernatural elements were activated, ready to fight at any time!

At this time, Zhang Junmo was observing the entire village through the small map.

He discovered that just a hundred meters away from them, in the middle of the village, there was a place that looked like an ancestral hall!
There are no coffins or evil spirits there, so it seems safer!
"There is an ancestral hall in the village where we can take shelter temporarily!"

Zhang Junmo immediately told everyone about this.

"In that case, let's go over there without further delay!"

Xia Yubing jumped up and waved his hands. Cold currents surged and froze all the surrounding houses.

Although this doesn't mean much, if the ice is broken, it can at least remind everyone that the things inside have escaped.

click!
click!
The sound of thunder and lightning was mixed with the sound of ice crystals breaking.

A series of strange figures twisted their bodies and walked out of the house, mixed with some illusory shadows that kept floating around.

A distance of 100 meters should be reached in the blink of an eye for everyone.

But every step here is thrilling.

With every step you take, many evil spirits may suddenly jump out in front of you.

"Go this way!"

Zhang Junmo could see that those evil spirits were not just waiting in the house for others to enter.

Instead, they were all awakened just now and are now constantly surrounding this group of people.

There were so many evil spirits that Zhang Junmo didn't have time to count them, but he estimated that there were at least three to five hundred.

Based on the perspective of the small map, he saw the distribution and movement trajectory of the evil spirits, and led everyone to move forward by constantly changing directions.

At the same time, he was communicating with others through voice transmission and temporarily took on the role of commander of the operation.

Communication between the souls can be accomplished with just a thought, which is countless times faster than speaking.

Zhang Junmo was able to detect the location of the evil spirits and the layout of the entire village, so no one had any objections to his command.

For a team like theirs that is filled with geniuses, it would be a very foolish move if anyone doubted their comrades during an operation.

Soon, the group arrived smoothly outside a temple.

Zhang Junmo confirmed through the small map that there was no danger here, but to be on the safe side, everyone still checked around.

There are no evil spirits here, so I guess there must be something special about it.

It's just that no one has noticed it yet.

Zhang Junmo glanced at everyone and asked, "Among you, has anyone cultivated the fire attribute, lightning attribute, or light attribute to restrain evil spirits? Next, I will need to rely on your abilities to resist the evil spirits outside!"

These evil spirits seemed to have certain freezing rules, and the talented and powerful people who had been attacked before had experienced this deeply.

As soon as Zhang Junmo finished speaking, more than a dozen people stood up.

Among these people, those with fire attributes are the most numerous, a total of seven.

There are four fire-type mutants and three cultivators who have practiced fire-type techniques.

In addition, there are two users with thunder-related abilities, both of whom have practiced thunder-related techniques, and two formation masters, one of whom has practiced the art of sealing!

The two attributes of fire and lightning can directly restrain evil spirits, but because this is an extremely cold area, the power of fire has been slightly weakened.

But those present were not ordinary people. The flames they cultivated had been tempered by some rare treasures.

Some obtained some special flames, while others used certain elixirs to enhance the power of flames.

Therefore, the flames they released still retained great power.

A formation master can use formations to integrate the power of everyone and form a defense.

And the strong man who has practiced the art of sealing can add a certain sealing blessing to the formation and seal some of the attacking evil spirits.

The others were there to provide support at any time.

After the action plan was determined, Zhang Junmo took the first step.

Career switch, Dark Avenger!
Dark fire instantly burst out from his body!

The dark red flames, as if gushing out from the abyss of hell, along with the chill brought by the freezing rules lingering around, were partially dispelled!

Even though the dark fire is not the power of rules, its violent and terrifying nature can even affect the power of rules!

The flames seemed to have life, and under Zhang Junmo's control, they enveloped the entire ancestral hall.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt that the previous palpitations seemed to have weakened a lot!

"What a terrible flame!"

Xia Yubing's perception is the strongest!

Because he practiced ice-based techniques, even ice-based psychics with S-level psychic abilities had been defeated by him.

He felt that facing Zhang Junmo's flames, his ice essence was actually somewhat stagnant.

This means that if the two sides fight, you will be restrained if you take action!
This is incredible!

In addition to Xia Yubing, the seven talented and powerful people who possessed the power of fire also had a serious expression.

There was a hint of horror in his eyes.

After sensing Zhang Junmo's dark fire, their flames actually sent them a hint of fear and submission.

"What kind of flame is this?"

"The color is dark red, the burning is not fierce, but the aura is violent and the temperature is extremely high!"

"Every kind of power this guy displays seems to be extremely powerful!"

Lu Qingzhao looked for a long time, but couldn't think of any flame that matched the dark fire held by Zhang Junmo.

The dark fire was outside, and for a moment, the evil spirit that first chased to the ancestral hall stopped its actions instantly.

Then he slowly stepped back.

There were originally no evil ghosts in the ancestral hall, perhaps out of respect for the ancestors, or perhaps for other reasons.

When the formation is formed and everyone's strength is gathered, a stable defense line is formed, making it difficult for evil spirits from the outside world to break in.

Coupled with the powerful deterrent of Zhang Junmo's dark fire, no evil spirits will be able to break in within a short period of time.

The scary thing about evil spirits is that they trigger killing patterns after coming into contact with humans.

As long as you don't come into contact with it, the evil ghost will be just that!

It's like a practitioner who has no skills, no understanding of will, and no mysteries.

"Next is this ancestral hall!"

Zhang Junmo discovered that there were two places in the village where there were no evil spirits.

One of them is this ancestral hall.

The other place is a house.

And it is the only house in the entire village!
It is very likely where someone like the village chief lives.

After all, this village has no connection with the outside world, and there are basically no so-called wealthy families.

The only special one is naturally the village chief. Of course, this is just Zhang Junmo's speculation.

The entire ancestral hall is not very big, but it has a front gate, a middle hall, and a back hall.

However, apart from the tablet in the back hall, there was nothing worth noting.

At this time, Zhang Junmo and some people were in the back hall, looking at the tablets in the back hall and observing them carefully.

On the top tablet, it is written "Leng Xuanfeng, the ancestor of the Leng family"

"The surname Leng, it is indeed the village where Brother Leng was born!"

There was nothing special about the tablet, so Zhang Junmo just glanced at it casually.

Just as he was about to look away, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Then he looked at the tablet at the bottom.

Leng Yan!

Those two words deeply attracted Zhang Junmo's attention.

"Look!"

Everyone was attracted by Zhang Junmo's voice.

Then they gathered together.

Then they also saw the name on the tablet!
"what!"

When everyone saw the word "Leng Yan", they were extremely surprised.

Why is there a tablet for Leng Yan here?
Wasn't he living well before?
When he left the village, the villagers had already been slaughtered by the underworld.

After leaving, there should be no one left in the village.

Could it be that Leng Yan set up this tablet for himself?

Then another possibility is that Leng Yan’s tablet was placed here from the very beginning!
But how is this possible?

Why are there tablets for living people in the village ancestral hall?
The memorial tablet for a living person is usually a longevity tablet.

But these things are usually found in temples or Taoist temples. How could they be placed in the ancestral hall together with the ancestral tablets?
"Wow, Jun Mo, that Leng Yan, could he be a ghost? He has been pretending to be alive, but in fact he wants to trick us in so that the ghosts outside can kill us?"

Gao Shengzhong suddenly exclaimed.

Zhang Junmo's face turned dark and he slapped him on the back of the head.

"Your uncle's!"

"How many times have I told you not to mention my name when you say 'wocha'!"

After glaring at Gao Shengzhong, Zhang Junmo said, "Can your evil spirit live with a bunch of physical cultivators?"

Are you kidding me?
The physical cultivators are a group of monsters with strong energy and blood. If a ghost really runs into the Qiulong team, those burly men don’t need to do anything to him. The strong energy and blood that fills the world is enough to scare the ghost to death.

What's more, Leng Yan himself possesses extremely powerful fire power!
He is a fierce man who can cultivate his body by coiling in the magma!

Say he is a ghost?

Of course everyone knows that Gao Shengzhong was just speaking casually, but this tablet is indeed very strange.

After discovering Leng Yan's ranking, Zhang Junmo looked at the tablets carefully again.

In theory, the tablets in the ancestral hall have a certain arrangement order.

Left Zhao and right Mu.

Starting from the ancestor, the even-numbered generations are called Zhao and the odd-numbered generations are called Mu.

Then arrange them according to seniority.

This village is said to have existed for hundreds of years, so it must have existed for many generations!

However, the tablets above only represent a few generations, and there are only a few hundred of them.

To be exact, it should be around five hundred!
Is this too little?

The number of evil spirits that Zhang Junmo had observed in the village before was almost three to five hundred.

"and many more!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Junmo suddenly froze in place!
The number of tablets is almost the same as the number of evil spirits!

For a moment, Zhang Junmo came up with a bold idea.

"These tablets...could they correspond to the villagers of this village?"

Zhang Junmo quickly looked through all the tablets and determined that, apart from the ancestor, there were only three generations in this village!

In other words, no offspring have been born in this village!

How could a village without any practitioners survive for hundreds of years without any descendants?

And, since there are no offspring, then...

Leng Yan, what’s going on again?

His age should not be fake. Ever since he was rescued from the Extreme Cold Region, he has been following the strong men of the Qionglong Squad. If he is already a monster of several hundred years old, how could anyone not see it?
And it’s not like he hasn’t grown.

Although he was close to adulthood when he came out, he would still grow up a bit.

"The villagers who were alive turned into evil spirits after they died."

"The tablets in the ancestral hall correspond to the living villagers!"

"This is no coincidence!"

“Perhaps, these tablets have some relationship with the dead villagers turning into evil spirits!”

Due to the lack of key information, Zhang Junmo could only infer this.

"But aren't evil spirits fake ghosts created by ghosts? Just like fake animal spirits and human body modifications in the underworld."

Gao Shengzhong asked in confusion, "Didn't the Hidden Spirit Clan create these things in the first place? It was probably an experiment to study the Marked Seeds, wasn't it?"

"experiment?"

Zhang Junmo grasped the key words.

Luo Xuan once said that the underworld targeted Leng Yan's village, seemingly wanting to use them for some experiments.

Could it be that the underworld caused them to become evil spirits?

Not right either!
These tablets have clearly existed for many years.

It is definitely not just established a few years or more than ten years ago.

Speaking of new...

It seems that Leng Yan’s tablet is the newer one.

But it should be longer than ten years.

But this point made Zhang Junmo have another doubt.

Or rather, speculation!
Leng Yan might be the only villager who was born later in the village!

As for why he was the only one there, Zhang Junmo had no idea.

"In fact, regarding evil spirits, they may not necessarily be born from the Hidden Spirit Clan!"

At this time, Xia Yubing spoke.

“Human beings have spirits.”

"We cultivators draw in qi to temper our bodies, from strengthening our physical bodies to condensing our true essence, and then to refining our spiritual consciousness."

"Giving birth to the Nascent Soul, gathering the Primordial Spirit, and then merging, are all the evolutionary processes of the soul!"

"And the soul, when it leaves the body, isn't it the same as a ghost? Normally, the soul will dissipate quickly after a person dies and enter the unknown realm."

"Some people say it is reincarnation, but since no one has witnessed the world after death, it is not certain."

"But in very rare cases, there are indeed souls that stay in the human world for a short period of time."

"And if these souls, by some chance, obtain a certain amount of energy to ensure that their soul bodies will not dissipate, then they may become so-called ghosts!"
