Night without Borders

Chapter 186: Humans, Gods, and Ghosts Appear Together

In the dilapidated courtyard, moss grew on the stone steps and vines were covered on the walls. It was a quiet place, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the town.

Wu Yaozu's eyes were red, and there were tears on his beard, full of reluctance.

"Why are you crying? When you get married, you will forget about your grandma." The old lady said with a smile.

She put a jade pendant carved with a god's image around Xiao Wu's neck and told him not to take it off on the road.

Then she looked at Qin Ming and reminded him, "I don't know the origin of the cloth on you, but it should be something special. Hold it on the road."

Qin Ming immediately understood that there might be "demons" on a certain section of the road, and he had to carry something to "suppress evil" with him.

"Grandma, you have to help me collect the debt later. Those old guys didn't keep their word. They said they didn't have any stakes on them and I'll pay them next time." Wu Yaozu complained.

"Okay, I understand." The old lady nodded.

In the strange town, there are various transactions, among which the buying and selling of information is the most common, followed by the sale of soul medicine and the exchange of skills.

Suddenly, purple clouds rose from the temple, bringing with them rolling thunder. This divine power was so terrifying that even some old guys changed their expressions.

"What happened? Why does it feel like it's coming towards us?"

"Oh no, it's terrible, my soul is about to be pierced!"

……

People and horses were falling to the ground, and the four-tusked white elephant fell to the ground. The blond old man on its back was hit by the purple magic mace, and his body was charred and shaking.

No delusion!

They felt that they had died unjustly. They had not caused any trouble for the temple and had never been inside. So why were they beaten?

"Crack, boom, crackle!"

Above the town, purple air covered the sky, and loud thunders kept falling. Among them, a divine mace flew across the sky and swooped down from time to time.

The stronger a person is, the more targeted that person will be. A group of people will scream in pain and flee in embarrassment.

All I can say is that there is indeed a strong man here, maybe an old senior, who can withstand several hits from the purple divine mace and finally stand up quickly.

"Okay, it's almost done." The man in black robe reminded in the temple.

If you walk in the morning, your body will collapse, and if you walk in the evening, your soul will leave. Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu started their journey at noon, escorted by the old lady herself, and they were already on the road.

Along the way, there was a thick red fog and all kinds of inexplicable sounds came one after another. Sometimes someone was howling, sometimes there was a shrill laugh, and soon someone was crying again.

Moreover, vague shadows were approaching in the blood-colored mist from time to time. If the old lady had not followed them and her body emitting a sacred light to escort them, the two of them would definitely not have been able to get out.

"This is... too scary!" Even Wu Yaozu, a local, felt his scalp tingling.

The smell of blood hit my face, and a big black claw pressed down. Not to mention the main body, even the sharp claw hook that was dripping with blood was several meters long.

However, when it came into contact with the divine light emitted by Grandma Wu, it burst into flames with a crackling sound, and then it quickly went away with a roar.

Qin Ming's face changed. This road was really dangerous. If it were just him and Wu Yaozu, they would definitely not be able to make it.

Accompanied by dampness, heat and a fishy smell, a tongue more than ten meters long appeared, and a huge pale face approached, wanting to lick them.

With a loud bang, it was pierced by the divine light emitted by the old lady and exploded as a whole.

There were all kinds of shadows nearby, densely packed together. The most important thing was that they were all incredibly large, standing like mountains. Any claw that reached out would cover half the sky.

Dark clouds descended, and it turned out to be just an insect wing with a sharp mouthpart that stretched out towards them, and the night sky seemed to be pierced by it.

Boom, boom...

The ground was shaking, and a huge foot was passing by nearby, causing hundreds of pounds of rocks nearby to bounce along with it.

In the bloody fog, it seems like all kinds of ghosts and gods are wandering around, demons are dancing wildly, and it is a doomsday scene. How can ordinary people survive if they encounter it?
The old lady scolded: "You have been dead for so many years, why are you messing with the locals now? You are a bunch of cowards, you were not so tough back then. When the Jedi was drilled through, you all trembled like chickens and were killed."

Qin Ming felt scared when he heard this. Just by looking at their body shapes, one could tell how powerful these monsters were in the past. But when faced with an unknown existence, they turned out to be so weak?
All I can say is that the person who chiseled through the fourth Jedi back then was extremely powerful!
At this moment, the old lady was like a statue of a god, covered in pure yang light, leading the way in front, either repelling or igniting all kinds of tall figures.

Along the way, there were constant demons, howling ghosts and gods, and countless monsters of all shapes and sizes. It was like traveling through hell.

Xiao Wu was frightened. Is this his hometown? What kind of monsters are those predecessors? Are all his ancestors so honorable? As big as mountains, with strange shapes.

Along the way, they rushed out quickly without saying a word, and finally arrived at the edge of the fourth Jedi area.

After arriving here, the old lady stopped. She couldn't go out. It seemed that she was imprisoned by a force and couldn't escape the shackles of the Jedi.

Blurredly, one could see that there seemed to be a chain connected to his back, which was stretched straight and had reached its limit.

"Grandma!" Wu Yaozu burst into tears immediately after seeing this scene.

"Silly child, I'm fine. It's not bad like this. I have something to worry about and a home to return to. That's the way I came here. I won't get lost." The old lady comforted.

Finally, she wiped away Xiao Wu's tears, looked at Qin Ming, and said, "Child, help me take care of Xiao Wu for two months. He has a strong ability to adapt and will be fine once he gets used to the outside world."

Qin Ming nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry."

Finally, the old lady planned a route for them and attached a map, telling the two not to go the wrong way because the area outside the Jedi was not very peaceful.

"Even if there are twists and turns, it's not a big problem. You two can go forward boldly and don't scare yourself!" The old lady waved her hand.

After Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu took a step forward, the whole world became different. They suddenly felt less oppressive. The ghosts and gods that were howling a moment ago, as well as the huge figures as big as mountains, all disappeared. It was extremely quiet here, and the sound of insects could be heard in the distance.

The two looked back. The night wind blew, making rustling sounds in the woods, and in the distance there were mountains.

They walked back and entered the forest, which was not the way they came. The fourth Jedi just disappeared out of thin air.

Qin Ming said: "All the unknowns and mysteries are because we are not strong enough and our practice is not good enough. We just need to work hard to practice."

"Yes!" Wu Yaozu nodded and swore to himself that when he was strong enough in the future, he would definitely bring his wife back to see his grandmother.

Afterwards, he shaved off his beard, and his physical appearance changed. His sturdy figure became taller, and his black hair fell out quickly, leaving only short golden hair.

This is his true appearance. He is very strong, with bright eyes, strong facial lines and sharp edges. He is not handsome, but very heroic.

In Strange Town, no one reveals their true face.

"What are your plans for the future?" Qin Ming asked him.

Wu Yaozu said: "I will go to Kunling City with you. My grandmother said that we can't go all the way to the end of the rainbow transformation path. It's a problem to regard the physical body as a cage. I want to visit various major Taoist temples and schools."

Qin Ming said, "I've wanted to say this for a long time. The moon in the fourth Jedi is probably not real. It may not be a good thing for you to turn into a rainbow and go there." Wu Yaozu nodded and said, "Well, I know that the method of carrying rainbow light in the flesh was first passed down from that moon. It comes from where it came from and it will return to where it will go in the end."

At this time, Qin Ming's body was glowing slightly and burning hot. His eighth rebirth was in progress. In the dilapidated courtyard, he began to drink the Tianguang Liquid.

Now, he took out the five-color bottle and took another big sip. Suddenly, it was as if thunder was interweaving in his flesh and blood, and his whole body was bathed in brilliant light.

Wu Yaozu's face twitched slightly as he watched, and he said, "My grandmother said that this is used to refine spiritual tools and rare treasures. Can it really work if you drink it like this?"

"It tastes great!" Qin Ming's face was full of smiles. Although his stomach felt like it was burning and it was painful, the feeling of being able to clearly feel his physical fitness improving and getting stronger was really wonderful!
He was genuinely happy and excited.

"Tianguang Liquid... is a priceless medicine to me." Qin Ming said.

The liquid in the five-colored bottle not only contained spiritual substances that could allow him to be reborn for the eighth time, but it could also push his newly-cultivated Heavenly Light Energy to perfection.

The mother plants of the three-colored spiritual flowers, five-colored spiritual branches, and fallen fruits absorb some of the light from the sky. After being filtered once, the spiritual energy is severely lost and can only be used to enhance the light from the sky and to integrate power.

Whether it is in the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Hall, in the huge skylight pit of Luofu Fairy Mountain, or in the five-colored bottle in front of you, they are all real otherworldly skylights and are considered "strong medicines."

Qin Ming was "digesting" the Tianguang Liquid while on his way. His internal organs were burning, every inch of his flesh and blood was being purified, his strength was increasing, and he was getting stronger and stronger.

"Hiss!" Soon, the two men's expressions changed slightly. They followed the road planned by Grandma Wu. There were many ruins along the way, and there were actually many ghosts.

Next, the two began to run as fast as they could, but soon they heard a shrill scream, their heads began to ache, and the scenery became somewhat distorted.

With a bang, the jade pendant worn by Wu Yaozu glowed, and the carved statue turned out to be Grandma Wu herself, which made Qin Ming's eyes widen.

All around, large swathes of black shadows were being burned and ignited, letting out cries of pain.

However, this area was filled with resentment. Every time he passed by a village, it would be filled with ghosts and monsters, howling and rushing towards him.

Qin Ming also took out the piece of cloth woven with strange gold and infused it with the power of heavenly light. Suddenly, a huge sun appeared, shining in all directions, burning the place so hard that ghosts cried and gods howled.

"There are no ghosts. These are just resentment, evil spirits, and illusions. We don't need to pay attention to them. Just charge forward."

Rubble, ashes, and broken walls were everywhere. These were all villages and towns on the edge of the Fourth Jedi, which had been destroyed in the past.

By the end, the two were very tired because the things they encountered were becoming more and more weird. They said there were no ghosts, but only resentment, evil spirits, and remnants of the past.

As a result, later, when they were resting on the road, they found a woman in a black dress hanging on an ancient tree, floating back and forth, emitting a mental force field that gave them a splitting headache and they almost fainted.

Afterwards, everything they saw along the way was very strange. When they passed a mountain temple, the two of them actually lost consciousness and fought a fierce battle with the monsters lurking there. They were exhausted and almost in danger, and finally they burned down the ancient temple.

This was the safest route planned by Grandma Wu. If they didn't take this route, what would they encounter? Both of them were terrified.

They were sure that they had not yet completely escaped the edge area of ​​the Fourth Jedi and it was still very dangerous, so they had to get out as soon as possible.

The sky was as dark as ink, and the wild grass was overgrown with wormwood. From time to time, skulls and remains could be seen, half-buried in the earth filled with gloomy air.

Wu Yaozu asked, "Brother Ming, is there something on my back? Why do I feel like someone jumped on me, but I can't touch it?"

Qin Ming didn't see anything, but through emotional resonance, he discovered a ball of black light with strong resentment. Without saying a word, he pressed forward with the force of the sun. With a crackling sound, the flames jumped, and accompanied by a shrill scream, the black shadow dissipated.

The next moment, his neck tightened and he felt like he was suffocating.

"Brother Ming, your neck is black!" Wu Yaozu came to help, and the rainbow light in his body rose and swept forward.

"This old guy is powerful. We are going to have another tough battle!" Qin Ming said. He saw an old man with black smoke coming out of his body and an iron chain wrapped around his neck.

When they cut the black iron chain, both of their spiritual consciousness were pulled out of their bodies.

Fortunately, Wu Yaozu was good at this, and rainbow light came out of his body, while Qin Ming followed with all the skylight power, and was able to use the skylight to carry his consciousness to travel in his mind. The two of them fought to the death with the old guy.

With a bang, the old man's dark remaining consciousness was finally blasted away by the two men.

"Xiao Wu, could there be any of your ancestors among these resentments and evil things?" Qin Ming sat on the ground and gasped for breath. This journey was really not easy.

Wu Yaozu even lay on the ground, his chest heaving, exhausted, and said, "Stop talking. Now I don't see any ancestors anymore, they are all demons and monsters!"

The two of them hurried on their way again. A paper boat was floating slowly across the night sky, leaving the two of them unable to breathe.

Because there was a woman with disheveled hair on the boat, she was full of resentment that was terrifying, and the remaining light of her consciousness was like a black sun, which made people's flesh and blood unbearable, and they felt that they would decay if they were exposed to the sun any longer.

The woman glanced at them and noticed the jade token that Xiao Wu was wearing. She said, "Descendants of the old friends, forget it."

The paper boat carried her away.

"The world outside is too scary, I want to go home!" said Wu Yaozu.

Qin Ming corrected him and said, "This is not the outside world. This is the town where your ancestors lived. It is still on the edge of your Fourth Jedi. You haven't walked out yet!"

They ran quickly, wishing they could get away from this area immediately.

Suddenly, there was a sound of cheerful musical instruments in the front, as if someone was seeing off a bride.

The two men froze in an instant. Based on their experience, the stranger the situation, the more dangerous it was.

"The auspicious time has arrived, but the groom suddenly passed away on the way. What should we do?" A crying voice was heard in the distance.

Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu looked at each other, turned around and ran.

Because, in the red sedan in the distance, the bride was emitting not black light, nor golden light, but cold silver light, stronger than ever before.

Even though they were far apart, the two of them couldn't stand it anymore.

Unfortunately, this time they encountered an unpredictable existence. A slender white hand reached out and pointed at them, and then the two of them began to fly backwards.

"Grandma, open your eyes!" Wu Yaozu quickly took out the jade pendant hanging on his chest.

Then he shouted to the bride: "Grandfather, we are family. Look at this sign. Do you recognize it?"

Qin Ming was shocked. This team was so huge and so densely packed that he couldn't see the end of it.

As he was about to fly towards the red sedan chair, Wu Yaozu became anxious and shouted, "We are close relatives. I can't be the bridegroom. I am a member of the Wu family!"

With a thud, he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Qin Ming was dumbfounded and shouted, "I am one of us, I am also a Jedi!"

"We are from the First Jedi and are passing by you." An old man spoke.

"Why do you have a token on you?" a woman's voice came from the red sedan.

"I didn't!" Qin Ming was anxious because he fell towards the red sedan!
