There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 221 Star Banshee
  Although Wang Ping made some explanations when he went out this time, he did not tell anyone the specific road he would take and when he would leave.

He and Yulian secretly walked out of Qianmu Mountain and headed north, preparing to go to the small port of Fuming Prefecture to go to sea. After many years, they walked in the familiar but unfamiliar Yongshan County, which gave him a slight sense of déjà vu.

After leaving Yongshan County, Wang Ping walked straight towards Sanhe Mansion. Perhaps it was because it was the busy farming season in autumn, or perhaps it was the imperial court's order to mobilize troops that caused fewer pedestrians on the road.

When he arrived at Sanhe Mansion, he encountered a group of fifty soldiers. There were two hundred civilians behind them. From the looks of it, they must have received orders to go north. They were led by five generals. While inspecting the military attache's robe, he saw that Wang Ping had specially ordered someone to check his identity. He must have seen Wang Ping dressed as a gangster and wanted to catch a strong man.

When Wang Ping showed the identity card of Daozang Palace, the other party was obviously unhappy, but he did not dare to force anything more. He could only curse some unpleasant words in a low voice. It was nothing more than that they were going to the front line to fight, and crazy people like Wang Ping However, the disciple still wants to continue to enjoy the blessings in the rear, and his words are full of displeasure.

Wang Ping didn't care about it and deliberately waited for them to go far away before taking a small road. Sanhefu was crisscrossed by waterways and there were small roads leading to the north everywhere.

When it got dark, he unexpectedly found this team in a camp outside a village. Wang Ping passed them quietly and continued to the north in the dark until late at night. He came to a ruined temple washed away by a river. There was a fire in it.

"This place is really artistic..." Yu Lian got out of her sleeves after the fire was lit, looked around and said, "This place is similar to the place where the scholar and the female ghost met in the folklore stories."

"Is this the artistic conception you are talking about?"

Wang Ping couldn't laugh or cry.

Yu Lian ignored Wang Ping's complaints and urged: "You should take out a piece of cake and bake it to eat. When you are halfway through eating, a beautiful female ghost will come out."

"... "

Wang Ping was speechless and said, "Are you sure?"

He did have some biscuits and dried meat on him, and they were all packed in the bag he carried with him.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Yu Lian urged.

Wang Ping smiled and followed Yu Lian's suggestion, took out a piece of cake and baked it next to the fire. Soon the aroma of white flour spread.

"Take it up and eat it."

After hearing this, Wang Ping sat on the floor, put an old steel knife on his knees, faced the cold wind blowing from the river at night, picked up the hot bread and tore off a piece, blew it twice against the wind, and then put it in his mouth to chew.

It tasted very dry and very hard. Wang Ping fed it to Yu Lian, and she shook her head firmly.

After finishing a piece of bread and half a jug of water, Wang Ping did not encounter any of the ghosts in the story, but the autumn insects in the surrounding rivers were a bit disturbing.

"You forgot again. Those who work in the world should sleep with a knife in their arms." Yu Lian reminded Wang Ping when she was about to meditate. She seemed to regard this as a fun game.

Wang Ping followed her advice and first added some firewood to the fire. Then he stood up and moved to sit next to the only intact pillar of the ruined temple. He hugged the knife in his hand and closed his eyes.

Of course he was not sleeping, but meditating in a different way.

But the strange thing is that when he closed his eyes, the self-drowsiness that had not appeared for many years suddenly came over him, and Wang Ping couldn't help but thought to himself: Can't he be so unlucky?
  Then he actually fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened by a chill that penetrated his body.

It was still the same dilapidated temple just now. It was already bright outside, the firewood in the middle of the dilapidated temple had been extinguished, and Yulian was still sleeping soundly. While Wang Ping was stunned, there was a slight vibration on the ground under his feet. This sound was very familiar to Wang Ping. It was the sound of troops marching. He walked out of the ruined temple and saw the man he met yesterday at the end of the path outside the ruined temple. A team.

The leading general was riding on his horse with a face full of anger. When he saw Wang Ping from a distance, he immediately raised his whip and ordered the people around him to come up and get the person. Wang Ping frowned and was about to say something, but he found that He couldn't speak, and then he found that there was no spiritual energy in his sea of ​​energy.

"This... is an illusion?"

Wang Ping tried to call Yu Lian, but received no response. He saw two soldiers on the opposite side approaching fiercely. One of them came up and put his hand directly on his shoulder. An overwhelming force hit him and made him kneel down. on the ground.

"Since you are the common people of our Xia Kingdom, now the imperial court issues this notice..."

The military attaché was only halfway speaking when Wang Ping subconsciously stood up to resist. Seeing this, the military attache decisively pulled out the saber from his waist, and then cut it off with the sharp blade. Before Wang Ping could react, he felt a blow on his neck. cold.

Am I dead?

Wang Ping thought this, and then another thought came to his mind: "Is this in a dream?"

"whee…"

A girl's voice sounded, and Wang Ping felt that there was light in the dark world, and then he found himself in the ruined temple again.

Only this time, he saw a nine-tailed fox at the door of the ruined temple.

"How did you feel just now? When you were just a mortal, could you still look down on those lives from above?" The nine-tailed fox spoke human words, "You have to respect every life to gain the respect of others. Do you understand this truth? ?"

Wang Ping's mind flashed quickly. He knew that he might have met a powerful neutral star god, and then the words "Star Banshee" appeared in his mind involuntarily. This boss often used the name of the nine-tailed demon fox. The image appears in people's dreams.

"What the seniors have taught is."

Wang Ping accepted it humbly.

Hearing this, the nine-tailed fox shook the hair on his body, then jumped on the dilapidated threshold with cat steps and took two elegant steps, and said: "Do you know that your destiny has already been entered when you decided to go to the Southeast Islands? Countdown to death, but your fate shouldn’t end like this, what made you decide to go out this time?”

Wang Ping's eyes narrowed, and then he replied: "There are some things I want to find out."

"Well, this is indeed worth a trip. The most important thing in life is to find out something."

The nine-tailed fox stared at Wang Ping and warned: "When I passed by this area, I noticed two chaotic star gods, and you are their next target. Your destiny is very strange. You originally had a future of flying in the nine heavens. But it suddenly stopped here..."

"My interference in reality will cause terrible things to happen, so I can't do anything about those two star gods. You need to solve this yourself... Can you understand what I say?"

"Junior, I understand!" Wang Ping bent down, cupped his fists and performed a Taoist etiquette for juniors.

"That's good…"

When the word 'good' came out of the nine-tailed demon fox's mouth, Wang Ping immediately felt the real touch on his body. He stretched out his fingers and quickly calculated that the dream just now was only a moment in real time.
