Chapter 556 Fear
Qin Yang and Shen Baishi walked around the street, originally wanting to find someone to ask.
As a result, the people on the street didn't bother to answer them at all. They either walked away or remained silent.
Some people even turned around and walked away when they saw the two of them, as if they had seen some wild beast.
This made Shen Baishi start to feel depressed.
Why are the people here so weird?
"Qin Yang, you must be too big to make people afraid of you."
Shen Baishi muttered.
"It's not necessarily my problem."
"I feel like those people are not afraid of me, but of you."
Qin Yang said.
"How is that possible!"
"Master Tao, I look harmless to humans and animals, how can I make people scared?"
Shen Baishi shook his head and said.
From the outside he doesn't look like a bad guy.
"Then just ask."
Qin Yang said calmly.
Obviously, he was planning to use some means.
After all, it is not an option to waste it like this.
"OK."
"Then let's see whose problem it is."
Shen Baishi said softly.
He wouldn't believe it to his death that it was his problem.
At this time.
Another young scholar happened to be walking in front of him.
The scholar had a handsome appearance, but he looked tired.
When he saw Qin Yang and Shen Baishi, his expression flashed with panic, and he turned around and wanted to leave.
The next moment.
A big hand picked up his neck and pulled him into an alley.
"explain!"
"Why did you run away when you saw us?"
Qin Yang and Shen Baishi blocked the scholar in the alley and asked coldly.
"He is an immortal cultivator. Naturally, I have to stay away!"
The young scholar pointed at Shen Baishi and said in shock.
When Shen Baishi heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
He didn't expect that it was really his problem? !
How unreasonable!
"How do you talk, kid?"
"Did our immortal cultivators provoke you?"
Shen Baishi asked.
"The immortal cultivators went crazy more than ten years ago!"
"Of course I have to stay away from you, otherwise I won't know how I will die."
The young scholar was really afraid of Shen Baishi and actually hid behind Qin Yang.
"The cultivators are all crazy."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Yang couldn't help but ask.
"It's just that they're all crazy!"
"Since more than ten years ago, immortal cultivators have gone crazy. Their personalities will become extremely cruel, and some will even turn into monsters. They will continue to sacrifice and kill us common people."
"I don't know how many people have died at their hands over the years."
The young scholar explained.
After listening to this, Shen Baishi finally understood why this guy was so afraid of him.
He explained aloud: "But I'm not crazy, you don't have to be so afraid of me."
The young scholar shook his head and said, "How do I know whether you are crazy or not? Anyway, when you see a cultivator dressed up, just stay away."
His words left Shen Baishi speechless.
"Okay. He's really not crazy."
"We just want to understand the situation with you."
Qin Yang said seriously.
The scholar glanced at Shen Baishi and felt that he was not crazy, then he said in a deep voice: "Then you'd better come with me first."
Qin Yang and Shen Baishi followed the young man walking on the street, and soon came to a house with bare walls.
On the way, they also learned that the scholar's name was Zhao Luo, a native of Qingsang City.
My parents and brother were all killed by crazy immortal cultivators.
This also made him fearful of those cultivators.
"Life has become increasingly difficult over the years, I hope you two don't mind."
Zhao Luo was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Qin Yang waved his hand and asked: "Zhao Luo, will anyone deal with those crazy immortal cultivators?"
"Yes. In the beginning, the non-crazy immortal cultivators will deal with these crazy immortal cultivators."
"But in recent years, it's rare to see immortal cultivators who haven't gone crazy."
"Especially in the past six months, a demon has come to our city. Every night he arrests people in the city to make elixirs, but no immortal cultivator appears to subjugate him."
"Even the people in the government were slaughtered by this demon."
"So the people in the city live in fear every day, burning incense constantly, hoping to avoid being visited by this demon."
Zhao Luo sighed.
"Then why don't you get out of here?"
Shen Baishi couldn't help but ask when he heard that Qingmulg City was so terrifying.
"Isn't it the same wherever you escape?"
"Is there a difference?"
Zhao Luo smiled bitterly.
This world has long been in chaos and cannot be any more chaotic.
No matter where you go, there will be crazy cultivators.
It's a little better in this big city, at least those immortal cultivators who haven't gone crazy still show up occasionally.
Shen Baishi was speechless.
"Where is the demon?"
Qin Yang asked.
"I didn't know he only showed up at night."
"And he never has any pattern in arresting people. It just depends on who is unlucky."
Zhao Luo said softly.
"Then watch, the Taoist master will surrender this demon tonight!"
Shen Baishi said.
Zhao Luo hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Master, and please forgive me for being rude just now!"
Obviously, he classified Shen Baishi among those cultivators who were not crazy.
"fine."
"Master Tao, I have a very big belly."
Shen Baishi waved his hand.
He and Qin Yang stayed in Zhao Luo's house until dark.
Qingsang City became even more gloomy and terrifying after nightfall.
There were no pedestrians on the street, and the doors and windows of each household were tightly closed. No one dared to make any noise, for fear of being caught by the demon Taoist to make elixirs.
"It's time, let's go out for a walk and see if we can meet that demon Taoist."
Shen Baishi was actually looking forward to what the demon Taoist looked like.
He used magic to conjure a lantern and was about to go out with Qin Yang.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Luo followed him.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shen Baishi asked curiously.
"It's not safe at home, it may be safer to follow you two."
Zhao Luo smiled.
He used to sleep in fear every night.
After Qin Yang and Shen Baishi left, he was the only one left in the house. Zhao Luo, who was originally timid, became even more afraid.
He thought about it and felt that it might be safer to follow Qin Yang.
"You are quite smart."
"It seems that studying is really useful."
"Remember to follow closely, otherwise if you are caught by the demon, don't blame me."
Shen Baishi smiled.
The three of them walked on the street.
It was terribly silent all the way.
On ordinary nights, there are usually some dogs barking and babies crying.
But in the night of Qingsang City, there are no such sounds at all.
It's like a dead city without living people.
Suddenly, Qin Yang narrowed his eyes: "That strange fluctuation appeared."
"I felt it too." Shen Baishi nodded.
"Where is it?" Zhao Luo heard the words, and his heart was terrified.
"It's just a few miles ahead."
After Qin Yang finished speaking, he immediately disappeared on the spot.
And Shen Baishi also grabbed Zhao Luo's arm and smiled: "Boy, get ready!"
As he said, he also used the escape method and disappeared on the spot with Zhao Luo. (End of this chapter)
