The 100% natural gas

Chapter 180 Ancient Times! Wild Evil Spirits!

There was a full moon hanging in the sky, shining brightly, making the night as bright as day.

On the east bank of the river, if you look closely, you can see bright lights about three or five miles away.

"Is this a city?" the little white ape asked in surprise.

“There are no city walls. It’s a small town.”

Lin Yan said this in a serious tone.

The little white ape was somewhat puzzled and whispered, "Aren't there only cities in this world besides the pure land?"

"Go and take a look."

Lin Yan held up the knife and said, "Be careful and alert."

The little white ape nodded quickly and replied, "Don't worry, I'm scared to death of this strange place."

It looked ahead carefully, paused, and said, "It seems there is no one? There is no god guarding the city?"

"Walk."

Lin Yan hurried over.

As he approached the outskirts of the town, he slowed down his pace, fixed his eyes, and scanned the surroundings.

The dangerous energy was not noticed.

At a glance, there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the street ahead.

Inside the town, the houses are neatly arranged, with shops on both sides of the street and some stalls selling goods on the edge.

The aroma of wontons spread.

The hot soup is still boiling.

The dough on the chopping board has not been kneaded yet.

The meat filling has been mixed.

Lin Yan held the knife in his hand, walked over, and stopped beside the Chaos stall.

“The meat is very fresh and has just been seasoned…”

He walked forward, his fingertips glowing with golden light, picked up a ball of meat filling, and said slowly: "The wonton stalls in Gaoliu City don't taste this good."

"Why does it taste so good?" The little white ape swallowed.

"I added onions, ginger, garlic, and pepper." Lin Yan said slowly: "In Gaoliu City, you can have meat and noodles... but onions, ginger, garlic, and pepper are not something that small vendors are allowed to use."

"I know that the staple food in the city is mostly one kind, but sometimes foreign businesses will bring some seasonings from Fengcheng to make meals to increase the freshness and remove the fishy smell." The little white ape said: "But these things are basically sent to the inner city, and only high-ranking figures from all parties are qualified to enjoy them..."

"There's something very wrong here."

Lin Yan continued forward and saw a blacksmith shop.

The fire in the stove was burning fiercely.

There were even two pieces of firewood that had just been put into the stove and had not yet been lit.

He hesitated, walked forward, stretched out his hand to grasp a kitchen knife, frowned and said: "This craftsmanship is higher than that of the blacksmiths in Gaoliu City now... The knife in the hands of the night watchman is not as good as this kitchen knife."

Putting down the kitchen knife, he looked at a closed wooden barrel not far away and frowned, "This thing, made of wooden planks..."

He reached out and pressed it, groaning, "It tastes wrong."

The little white ape sniffed and said, "It smells like beeswax, a little bit of coagulated blood, and some gelatinous substances..."

“Is this a wine barrel?”

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Beeswax, animal blood, fish glue and other materials, covering the inside and outside, without leaking a drop of water?"

"What is the master thinking about?" the little white ape couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Lin Yan said slowly, "There are no such things in Gaoliu City... To be precise, the way these things are made is very different from the craftsmanship in Gaoliu City now."

"Is that so?" the little white ape asked in astonishment.

"My second brother often makes these things. His skills are not bad, but the methods are all inherited from our ancestors."

Lin Yan leaped up, took a lantern and took out the candle inside.

The fire flickered, there was no smoke, and there was even a sweet smell.

"This kind of candle is made of beeswax. It is also extremely precious in the Liuzun Temple, but it is hung on the streets."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Something is wrong... Based on my understanding of Qifeng Prefecture, even the prefecture city is not so luxurious."

He frowned, and suddenly thought of something, and whispered: "Back then, the towns in this ancient site had better living conditions than today's Gaoliu City."

He stood on the street, eyes slightly closed, a little dazed.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"This is an era that is better developed than the current Gaoliu City." Lin Yan opened his eyes and exhaled.

"So what?" the little white ape couldn't help but ask.

"Exploring ancient sites seems to reveal many more profound things." Lin Yan pondered, "However, this is not what we should do."

"What should we do?" asked the little white ape.

"Go forward, find Lu Tang and Ji Bochang, and find a way to get the Supreme Guardian Object."

Lin Yan glanced around and thought, "We have obtained the Supreme Guardian Object. This place is a blessed land for the human race... Regarding these things, the craftsmanship is more outstanding than that of today's era. The craftsmen of Gaoliu City can come here to study and learn."

As he walked out of the street, he suddenly found that there was a middle-aged man at the chaotic stall.

"Master, he..." The little white ape said with a dry mouth, "How did he appear? Even with my innate magical powers, I didn't see him!"

"Just ask and you'll understand."

Lin Yan walked forward.

The middle-aged vendor kneaded the dough slowly, seemingly unaware.

Lin Yan came in front of him.

"Give me a bowl of wontons."

"What's the filling?" the middle-aged man suddenly asked in a dry voice.

"What filling is the most delicious here?" Lin Yan asked.

"Shrimp meat filling." The middle-aged man said softly.

"Then give me a bowl." Lin Yan said.

"Not enough meat." The middle-aged man laughed.

He raised his head and his face was distorted like a melting wax figure.

His facial features kept falling downwards, looking ferocious and terrifying, and he said grimly: "Use yours?"

boom!
Lin Yan suddenly drew his knife!

Bloody Thunder Blade!

Cut it off!

The whole stall was overturned!
The middle-aged man suddenly disappeared!
The evil energy increases by three!

"That's it?"

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Then I heard the little white ape shout, "Left!"

Lin Yan turned his head and saw a black light suddenly flashing at the end of the street.

He poured his true energy into his feet and rushed forward.

After chasing it, I saw the black light cross two streets and crash into a house.

Lin Yan didn't hesitate and jumped over the courtyard wall.

Then, he saw a man in the yard with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed, standing three steps away, looking at a booklet on the table.

Hearing the noise, the man turned his head and asked in surprise, "Fifth Master?"

This person was actually a general flag bearer of the Heavenly Supervision Division, with the cultivation level at the Refining Essence Realm. I remember his last name was Yuan.

"General Yuan, the flag envoy?"

"Meet Master Wu."

"You are Welcome."

Lin Yan reached into his arms and took out a flag.

Seeing this, General Yuan smiled, put his hand into his bosom, and said, "I don't doubt Fifth Master's identity, why do you doubt me?"

He took a flag and placed it on the table, saying, "Is Master Wu also from the Lai Sui Sect? Why didn't he come with me before?"

"How long have you been here?" Lin Yan asked.

"I came in the morning, but..." General Yuan pointed to the sky and said, "When I came in, the sky was like this, a full moon, and the sun has not risen yet."

"What did you find out?" Lin Yan frowned.

"No news has been obtained." General Yuan shook his head and said, "There are no living people in this town, but... everything seems to be motionless."

"Not moving?"

"It's like time is frozen at this moment."

"Oh?"

"Look at the stove in the corner, there's porridge cooking there." Yuan Zongqi Envoy said, "The rice has just been harvested, the porridge isn't done yet, but the fire is still burning."

"and then?"

"The firewood has not been completely burned." Yuan Zongqi Envoy said, "This pot of porridge has been cooking since I arrived."

"Time stood still..." Lin Yan's heart sank. He never thought that this ancient monument was more evil than he expected.

"I think Master Wu has also discovered that the town in this ancient site is actually more prosperous than Gaoliu City in all aspects." General Yuan said in a low voice: "However, there are only goods, no living people."

"It was like a sudden disaster. Everyone disappeared in an instant." Lin Yan pondered, "But everything that existed has not changed. It was frozen in that moment."

"Something like this."

General Yuan pondered and said, "There is a booklet here. It should record the origin of this disaster, but the description is vague..."

Hearing this, Lin Yan looked solemn. He walked towards the table and opened the booklet.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound!
The cold wind suddenly rises!

It’s freezing cold!

A ray of light rises from behind!

It was a knife, stabbing straight at him, piercing his back!

A crisp sound!
I saw golden light shining on Lin Yan's body!

The knife failed to pierce his back!
"what?"

General Yuan looked astonished.

Then Lin Yan suddenly turned around and slashed at him with a knife!

In an instant, General Yuan's flag was cut in half by him!
However, a light green light came out from behind General Yuan, the flag bearer, before Lin Yan's sword could strike him!

"Catch Him!"

The little white ape flapped its wings and flew up, its pupils constricted, a faint light flashing, and it used its innate magical powers.

In an instant, flames suddenly burst out from the periphery of the light blue light, trapping it inside.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the two pieces of corpse on the ground.

General Yuan, the flag bearer, was still alive, but his pupils were hazy and dilated.

Obviously, before this, although his physical body was not dead, he had already been possessed by an evil spirit.

"What a pity that there is only one person in the human race who is at the Refining Essence Stage!"

Lin Yan walked forward, using his magic to suppress demons, probed through the flames, caught the pale blue light, and said in a deep voice: "What is there to say?"

"I know many of these secrets, please spare me..." the light blue light couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Which force are you from?" Lin Yan asked with a cold face.

"I am the essence of wood, born from between heaven and earth. I was born nearby and have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years." The light green light said in a trembling voice.

"So you are a wild evil spirit nearby?" Lin Yan frowned.

"It's because of the arrival of the ancient relics that they came in through the Suimen Gate." The light blue light said: "It was all the orders of another group of people. They gave us a lot of benefits and asked us to ambush and kill them here... I will tell you where they are going, please spare me..."

"Another group of people?" The little white ape came closer and whispered, "Is it Jie Jin?"
