Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 119: Ghost Cultivator, Erotic Nightmare

This is a nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons.

If it landed in Yudai City, there would undoubtedly be only one result...

For cultivators below the Jindan stage, I’m afraid they don’t even have time to react.

Even a cultivator in the Jindan stage will be dead if he is within the killing radius.

The moment the nuclear bomb exploded, the siege formation was of no use at all.

Wang Lishan’s idea was very simple, since the demons besieged the city for a blood sacrifice.

Then just kill all the mortals and monks in the city before that... What will we use as the blood sacrifice then?
As for the so-called millions of lives in Jade Belt City, how could they be more important than Lin Chen in the world of high martial arts?
Looking at the special weapon in front of him, Lin Chen fell silent.

He really didn't want to use this thing unless it was absolutely necessary.

Not to mention that every citizen in Yudai City is a living being to him.

The karma generated after the massacre alone was too much for Lin Chen to bear...

"Ah, it seems that the use of this earth-drilling machine... is not as simple as just digging a passage out of the city!"

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

……

Yudai City, inn.

The countdown is reset, and Lin Chen returns to the world of immortal cultivation.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter. Lin Chen had no plans to go out, but stayed in the room to practice.

It was not until the afternoon that he left the inn and walked towards a brothel in the city center.

Don't get me wrong, Lin Chen went to the brothel for serious business!
"According to the current situation, this siege is closely related to the three strange things happening in the city..."

"Well, let's start with the skinning incident..."

Lin Chen walked into the brothel called Tianmufang.

According to his information, the first victim of the skinning incident was Mr. Zheng, the lover of the famous prostitute Nan Lingling.

Walking on the street, there are very few pedestrians.

Nowadays, even the cultivators in Jade Belt City feel insecure, not to mention the mortals.

Passing through the deserted streets, Lin Chen entered Tianmufang.

Compared to the quiet and desolate atmosphere in the city, the business in this brothel is surprisingly good.

Lin Chen was slightly surprised and looked towards the lobby on the first floor.

Many young and beautiful women played the piano and danced.

Dozens of elegantly dressed men were gathered around more than ten tables, drinking and having fun, living a life of drunkenness and dreams...

It makes sense when you think about it.

Right now, Yudai City is in turmoil. Instead of being anxious and scared, it would be better to just sit there and wait for the next few days.

There are always some people who want to have fun and enjoy themselves before they die.

"Hey, sir... please take a seat!"

Several heavily made-up women gathered around and walked towards Lin Chen towards a table in the corner.

Lin Chen did not refuse. He sat down on the wooden table with peace of mind, took out two spirit stones and placed them on the table.

"Bring some good wine and food." Lin Chen said lightly.

When they saw the spirit stone, the welcoming ladies knew Lin Chen's identity.

But they did not refuse. Although there were few monks in the city, some of them occasionally came to the brothel to consume.

However, there are not many people who pay spirit stones directly. It is obvious that Lin Chen is a big fat sheep to them.

"Xiao Cui, tell the kitchen to cook a few more delicious dishes, and bring over that jar of sixty-year-old wine..."

The madam in the building gave an order, then sat down next to Lin Chen and said with a seductive look:
"Which girl in my building does the Immortal want to accompany you? Ruyan or Qingqing..."

Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"I'll eat first..."

Having said that, Lin Chen did not respond and just looked around.

Seeing that Lin Chen remained silent, the madam was afraid of upsetting him, so she left in a hurry.

Lin Chen's heart moved, and his spiritual sense spread out like a tide, covering the entire Tianmufang in the blink of an eye.

In the hall on the first floor, in addition to Lin Chen, there were several cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining stage drinking and having fun.

Enjoying the service of the beautiful maid beside him.

Cultivators are also human beings, and Qi-refining cultivators are still far from reaching the state of abstaining from human desires and keeping the heart of Tao.

In fact, what most monks want is nothing more than to become superior to others and live a better life.

Most of the people in the hall are from wealthy families.

In addition to drinking and having fun, they also get together to chat and gossip.

Speaking of recent events in the city, it is naturally those strange things.

Look, many people in the brothel are talking about it.

With his spiritual consciousness released, Lin Chen's five senses became exceptionally sharp.

Hear clearly the conversation between dozens of people.

"Brother Liu, have you heard? Someone died again last night... They were skinned to death! Four Qi-refining monks!"

"Tsk tsk, things are really weird these days! Don't go out after dark...especially in the south of the city..."

"Yes! And my neighbor... I heard that he received a dream from his ancestors and is going to visit the graves outside the city!"

"..."

Lin Chen got the information he wanted from the gossip and chat.

"In the south of the city... the number of skinning incidents seems to be particularly high?"

Lin Chen thought silently.

He listened for a while longer and got the information he wanted.

"Tsk tsk, if we talk about this skinning incident, it was originally related to this brothel!" said a young man in gorgeous clothes.

"Oh? What do you mean?" The person asking the question seemed to be a businessman from outside the area.

"There is a famous brothel named Liannan Lingling. The first person to be skinned alive was his lover, Young Master Zheng!"

The gentleman in fancy clothes took a sip of wine and said under the influence of alcohol:
"That was three years ago! At that time, Nan Lingling was a famous woman in Yanlai!"

"That night, I heard that the young master of the Zheng family spent a fortune to get close to her...but Nan Lingling only sells her art and not her body."

"Finally, the son of the Zheng family got drunk and returned home in anger...but on the second day, he was found in front of the Zheng family's door in a body bag, with his bones and flesh missing and blood all over the floor..."

"Tsk tsk, since then, the Zheng family invited many immortals to investigate, but to no avail... In the end, the whole family moved out of Yudai City..."

What the young man in fancy clothes said was so true that the businessman beside him was trembling with fear after hearing it.

Lin Chen sat in the corner, eating and listening to news.

Soon, it was getting dark.

The guests in the hall left one after another and returned home. In a blink of an eye, there were less than a dozen people left.

Lin Chen still sat there and didn't stand up.

At this time, a heavily made-up woman came forward and asked:

"My Lord, are you going to stay overnight in the market... or go home? It's getting late..."

The woman looked anxious.

Ever since the strange incident, even places like brothels would not keep any guests who did not stay overnight.

After all, if a customer drinks too much and wants to go home in the middle of the night, and ends up dying on the way... it would be bad for the reputation of the brothel.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on..."

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but kept silent.

After a while, several brothel guards closed the door of Tianmufang.

According to the rules, after closing time, no more guests will be admitted and guests in the building will not be allowed to leave.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Chen stood up.

Seeing this, the madam hurried forward and flattered him, "Master, which girl in the building do you like? Tonight I will let her..."

Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Just now I heard them say that Nan Lingling is very beautiful. I wonder if I can have a little kiss with her?"

The old procuress's face changed slightly after hearing this, and she stammered:

"Master, how about you change a girl? I'll let the top girl in the building, Ruyan, accompany you!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile:

"Oh? But Nan Lingling is busy tonight? Do you want to entertain other guests?"

"That's not the case..." The madam shook her head.

"Since you are free, why can't you accompany me? But do you look down on me?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry.

The madam was startled when she saw this and quickly told the whole story.

It turned out that since the death of the young master of the Zheng family, Nan Lingling's reputation had plummeted.

She no longer has the title of the most beautiful girl in Yanlai that she had three years ago...

Nowadays he seldom receives guests and spends most of his time composing music and singing lyrics in the backyard.

Occasionally, there would be two visitors from other places who wanted to see her beauty, but every time they left, they would fall seriously ill and suffer from nightmares.

Although it is not fatal, there are many unlucky things like this.

As time went by, Nan Lingling no longer had any customers and was in a very bad situation. She was even secretly called a witch...

After hearing what the madam said, Lin Chen became even more curious.

Then he took out three more spirit stones and slapped them on the table, humming:

"But you look down on me? Since I started practicing Taoism, I don't know what to be afraid of!"

The madam hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

On the one hand, she was envious of the three spirit stones, but on the other hand, she was afraid of making Lin Chen unhappy.

Thinking about it, she still said:
"In that case, please follow me, Immortal..."

……

Lin Chen followed the madam to a small courtyard behind Tianmufang.

There are two osmanthus trees planted in the yard and only one wing room.

It looks a bit shabby, but very clean.

When Lin Chen reached the door, the madam was unwilling to go in again and just said:
"Lingling is in the side room, please go by yourself..."

She ordered two maids to bring wine and food into the courtyard.

After finishing her work, the maid hurried away...

Even the maids in the workshop dared not stay in this quiet little courtyard for long. "It seems that the place is deserted..."

Lin Chen smiled, picked up a pot of wine and knocked on the gate.

Soon, a woman in blue and light makeup opened the door.

The woman looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with delicate features and unusually fair skin.

Especially those charming eyes, which seemed to be able to seduce people...

"As expected of you, the woman who made your name known to the world. She's so beautiful!"

Lin Chen praised.

Nan Lingling showed a hint of shyness after hearing this, and opened the door and said:
"No one has been in the courtyard for a long time... Please come in, sir!"

Lin Chen entered the room carrying a wine jug.

The facilities in this room are old and you can tell they haven't been replaced in some years.

But there was a lot of rouge and powder, Nan Lingling seemed to be very fond of beauty.

Even though there are few guests here, she will dress up every day...

Perhaps, this is her only pleasure in this cold courtyard.

Lin Chen looked around and finally his eyes fell on Nan Lingling.

"I've heard of Miss Nan's name for a long time, and today I finally see her beauty!"

"It's just a matter of the past... What song would you like to hear, sir?"

Nan Lingling seemed a little lonely and asked in a low voice.

"There's no rush to sing, why don't we drink two glasses of wine together first?"

Lin Chen shook the aged wine in his hand.

So the two of them drank some wine in the house.

Nan Lingling couldn't hold her liquor well, and got a little tipsy after a few drinks.

So he stood up, bowed, walked to the piano and started to pay for it.

After playing it for a few times, a melodious sound came, sometimes cheerful, sometimes lonely...

Lin Chen listened with great interest, but was actually observing Nan Lingling.

"There is not even a trace of fluctuation in her cultivation... This woman is indeed a mortal..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

Even with his ninth foundation building level of cultivation, his cultivation level couldn't be seen.

It is very likely that Nan Lingling is a mortal... Of course, the possibility that she is an old monster at the Jindan stage cannot be ruled out.

But who would be a normal old monster who has reached the Jindan stage and would live in seclusion in a brothel?

"However, Nan Lingling seems to be a little weak... Is it because she stays in the yard all year round?"

After Lin Chen used his spiritual sense to investigate, he still found some clues.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are Taiguang, Shuangling and Youjing.

The seven spirits are Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Bird's Vagina, Swallowing Thief, Non-Poison, Removing Filth, and Stinky Lungs...

They correspond to different functions of human beings.

Lin Chen learned the art of observing qi. Although he was not proficient in it, he could still see the aura of ordinary people.

But now, in his perception, there was something abnormal about Nan Lingling's "corpse dog" soul.

The so-called corpse dog soul is a kind of early warning ability for mortals.

Especially when people are sleeping, if they encounter danger, the dog spirit will become abnormal.

The specific manifestation is that if you provoke dirty things... you will have nightmares!
Lin Chen saw that Nan Lingling's corpse dog soul was obviously over-consumed.

It seems to be in a state of warning all year round.

"There is indeed something abnormal about Nan Lingling..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, but did not say it directly.

After three rounds of drinks, Nan Lingling played a few songs and danced two dances.

Lin Chen clapped his hands and praised:

"Ms. Lingling's singing and her figure are both the best in Jade Belt City!"

"I have never heard of those songs before anywhere else. Could they be something you have composed recently?"

"With such talent, it's really strange that the lobby is so deserted..."

Nan Lingling trembled after hearing this and forced a smile.

"It's just a song I made when I had nothing to do..."

"Young Master, you should have heard what happened to me... How many people would dare to listen to my singing and dancing after such a thing happened?"

After a pause, she asked curiously:

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble when you return?"

Lin Chen shook his head, patted his chest and said jokingly:
"I am young and full of energy, ghosts and monsters dare not bother me!"

Nan Lingling was stunned after hearing this, and then she noticed Lin Chen's muscular figure, and her pretty face blushed.

"Although you are young and energetic, being haunted by ghosts is not good for your health... Young Master, you should go back early after daybreak!"

Nan Lingling said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of implicating Lin Chen.

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said jokingly:
"Other girls would like their customers to stay longer so they can earn more money... Why is it that Miss Lingling is trying to get me to leave?"

Nan Lingling shook her head without saying anything and played two more songs.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Chen looked at Nan Lingling and said:

"Miss Lingling, have you always had trouble sleeping and are prone to nightmares at night?"

After hearing Lin Chen's words, she was stunned at first, and blurted out: "How did you know, sir?"

Nan Lingling obviously didn't know that Lin Chen was a cultivator.

So Lin Chen said perfunctorily:
"The ancestral technique of observing qi can reveal some problems... I think the girl's nightmare will last for quite a while, right?"

Nan Lingling showed a little hesitation after hearing this, perhaps because she hadn't seen a guest for a long time.

So she gritted her teeth and said:

"I hope you won't spread what I talked about today..."

"My illness did start three years ago, the day Master Zheng died..."

After a pause, Nan Lingling said shyly:

"Since that day, every three to five days, I would have a dream... a wet dream..."

"I can't see the man in the dream clearly, but it's always the same person. He and I... I have also asked a master to exorcise the evil spirits and eliminate disasters before, but there is no way."

"I just had these nightmares all the time... so I didn't care about it anymore..."

"But recently, the frequency of this dream has increased, and the man's methods have become more and more brutal... I can't stand it even in my dreams..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's expression gradually became solemn.

The art of nightmare!

Nan Lingling is suffering from a nightmare!
And it’s a very obscene nightmare ghost!

The so-called nightmare technique is an evil technique mastered by ghost cultivators (soul cultivators), and it is very unpopular.

The evil cultivator himself or summons ghosts to enter the dreamer's dream, so as to achieve certain goals.

This ghost in the dream may be a money-scattering ghost that ruins other people’s fortune.

It can also be a wronged ghost that makes people feel resentful and eventually die in depression.

And this spring dream ghost is one of them...

"So, why did they choose Nan Lingling? Was it because the ghost cultivator who cast the spell coveted her beauty and had been drooling over her for a long time?"

Lin Chen thought to himself that he could not rule out this possibility.

Nan Lingling was indeed extremely beautiful, the most beautiful one Lin Chen had ever seen.

And she is naturally charming, and I feel pity for her...

Not to mention for mortals, it is a great temptation even for monks.

"But how is Nan Lingling's nightmare related to the skinning incident?"

After careful consideration, Lin Chen had no choice but to put the emphasis on Master Zheng.

So, Lin Chen asked again:

"Miss Lingling, I heard that the first person to be skinned alive was Master Zheng... I wonder who this Master Zheng is?"

"Miss, can you tell me?"

Nan Lingling sighed when she heard this, and said without hiding anything:
"The Zheng family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Yudai City. They have been operating in Yudai City for three generations, selling jade."

"And that Master Zheng is naturally romantic and has great literary talent..."

Nan Lingling talked a lot about Master Zheng and the Zheng family.

After Lin Chen pondered for a moment, he asked, "Is Mr. Zheng a cultivator?"

"Cultivator?" Nan Lingling shook her head and said, "Probably not. I've never heard him say he's been there..."

Afterwards, Lin Chen asked some more questions.

It was not until the sky gradually brightened that Lin Chen took out paper and pen and wrote a prescription.

"Miss Lingling, this is a prescription for calming the nerves passed down from my ancestors. Although it can't drive away nightmares, it can make you feel better..."

Nan Lingling took the prescription and nodded:
"Thank you, sir..."

……

After leaving Tianmufang, Lin Chen did not return to the inn.

Instead, he went to the south of the city.

The Zheng Mansion in the past was located in the south of the city.

A moment later, he arrived in front of a dilapidated mansion gate.

After the Zheng family encountered strange things, they moved out of Yudai City.

Because of Mr. Zheng's strange behavior, the wealthy businessmen in Yudai City did not dare to buy the Zheng Mansion and move in.

A few years later, the former mansion had long been dilapidated, with weeds growing in the yard and dust in the corners.

Looking at the empty streets around him, Lin Chen jumped lightly and entered the Zheng Mansion.

The spiritual consciousness spread out like a tide, instantly covering the entire Zheng Mansion.

Lin Chen observed the layout and details of the Zheng Mansion.

"Well, there's nothing strange about it... It's just that there seems to be a lot of uncut raw jade in this mansion that has not been taken away..."
