Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Is Chapter 357 true?
Lin Jiang watched as Yu Wenyun silently disappeared into the darkness, and a moment later, he saw him break through the darkness again and return.

“As people say, once you step into this place, it is unlikely that you can escape the darkness on foot.” Yu Wenyun chuckled. “But this black mist is not indestructible. Just now, I used a little force and it seemed that I could force my way through.”

As expected of a martial artist of the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, even with his cultivation level restricted, his methods are still so superb.

Lin Jiang also quietly sensed his own coffin. The few that were still usable could be used for teleportation, and the locations he had set for returning to his hometown should be similar.

"Young master, what are your plans next?"

Instead of suggesting destroying the night directly, Yu Wenyun turned to Lin Jiang for advice.

After all, Lin Jiang's parents lived here. Although it was unclear whether they were real or not, their behavior was impeccable.

Humans are all sentimental. In the previous dynasty's Divine City, some people may have cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, but the Great Xing Dynasty has no such method.

It would be perfectly reasonable for Lin Jiang to feel lingering attachment.

“Now… I do have a method that can be used.” After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiang said.

The biggest problem now is that he cannot be sure of the true nature of this place.

If this town is a ghost town, it will be easier for Lin Jiang to deal with.

With Daxing as their backing, there is room for maneuver regardless of whether they are sent to the government or dealt with in any other way.

But he feared that this place was not a ghost town at all.

If this place doesn't actually contain the three souls and seven spirits, but is merely a site created by a deeply hidden calamity, then it's troublesome.

And his method,
That will be enough to determine whether there are ghosts here or not.

"General Yu, Miss Jiang, please wait here for a moment. I will be right back."

"it is good."

Although the two did not understand Lin Jiang's intentions, they believed him when they thought about the skills he possessed.

Lin Jiang took out a pill from his pocket.

Returning to my hometown.

After putting the pill in his mouth, he closed his eyes and conjured up the image of Baishan Town in his mind.

A moment later, his figure vanished like mist, and his consciousness seemed to pass through a thin curtain of water.

When he opened his eyes, he was already on the streets of Baishan Town.

Before he could linger in the county, he urged his Cloud-Treading Chariot to fly out of the town, clouds rising beneath his feet.

In just a short while, Lin Jiang was far away from the town and arrived in a desolate and deserted wilderness.

Then, he once again activated the primordial fog, causing the swirling damp energy to condense into a dense sea of ​​fog around him.

Having completed these arrangements, Lin Jiang began to wield the Great Scripture in the sea of ​​fog.

He had forced it once before, and this time, using it again, it was even easier than before.

He continued this process until the bright moon had slanted halfway down the western sky, and only then did Lin Jiang hear the tinkling sound of flowing water.

coming!

He immediately turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw several lights appearing deep in the fog, followed by a giant ship breaking through the fog and arriving.

On the bow of the ship, King Qi stared intently at Lin Jiang with his wide, round eyes:

"Damn it! Couldn't you have found a better way to inform me? Instead, you keep throwing out your methods in the fog, are you deliberately provoking me? Want to fight?"

Lin Jiang smiled when he saw that it was an acquaintance:
"I wouldn't dare. I really couldn't find a way, so I had to resort to some clumsy methods."

"No wonder he is the third most hated person in my life."

King Qi took out an object from his bosom and tossed it toward Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang caught it, examined it, and it seemed to be a flute made of bone.

"Next time, just blow this in this fog."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang brought it to his lips with great interest and blew on it twice.

The King of Qi's expression once again bordered on collapse:
"How about I get you a new drum?"

"No need, I just like the flute."

"Your uncle's."

King Qi had no other choice but to jump off the boat and glare at Lin Jiang:

"What brings you here today, you brat?"

"We have found a strange place. We don't know if it is a ghost realm. We would like to invite King Qi to come and take a look."

"That's it?"

"That's all."

"What do you take me for?"

"...A useful gadget?"

King Qi: “…”

He pulled two strands of hair to his temples:

"Knowing you is the worst luck I've ever had!"

However, despite this, King Qi did not refuse, but simply waved his hand and asked directly:

Where is the place?

"Please lend me your boat; it will make the journey faster."

After boarding the boat and giving a general idea of ​​the location, the boat was moored outside the town again in just a short while after a thick fog rose up.

Once the town came to a stop, King Qi frowned as he looked at the desolate town before him.

"Is this the place?"

"Exactly."

Lin Jiang pulled Qi Wang into the town. As they entered the town, the surrounding scenery had indeed changed as Lin Jiang had expected.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling town that had vanished reappeared before him and the King of Qi.

Several pedestrians on the street were startled when they suddenly saw the two people appear out of nowhere.

The strange and bizarre appearance of the King of Qi attracted even more attention than that of Lin Jiang.

When King Qi arrived in this town, his brows furrowed noticeably.

"How is it, King Qi?"

Lin Jiang asked in a low voice.

King Qi remained silent, then suddenly grabbed a girl next to him.

Before the girl could react, he lowered his head and fiercely licked the back of her hand. The girl screamed in alarm, slapped him hard across the face, and then fled in panic.

A handprint appeared on the King of Qi's face, but he didn't care. He simply pursed his lips a couple of times and slowly shook his head.

"It's not a ghost."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang couldn't help but frown:
"If it's not ghosts, then what is it?"

"It's the primordial fog."

"?"

"I don't know if you know this, but the primordial fog can indeed construct various images that resemble entities. However, most of these are just remnants of memories and the past, and are not real."

Lin Jiang remained silent for a moment.

How could he not know?

That misty town is still in Qingniwa.

Therefore, this place must be a remnant of the past formed by the primordial fog.

It seems that the calamity did indeed sweep through the entire town; yet, for some reason, a primordial fog arose in the town after the calamity.

The people of the old town are all recorded in the thick fog, which is why you can see the deceased here.

However, normally, a town created by the primordial fog should not be shrouded in darkness all the time.

Is it possible...

Are there still remnants of calamity here?

Seeing that Lin Jiang remained silent, King Qi assumed that he had not fully grasped the essence of the primordial fog and continued to explain:
"Sometimes this thick fog will suddenly appear in all directions of the world, and what emerges are some past scenes. The fabricated things in them are almost exactly the same as the person, and people often become addicted to them."

"They look too alike."

Rather than being similar, it's more like being completely copied. Memories, personality, and behavior are perfectly presented according to the past, but the inner soul and physical body are completely different.

Can we still say it's the same person?
"Yes. It's so similar." King Qi sighed deeply, "How many people can guarantee that they won't be held back by their past thoughts?"

He seemed to be thinking of the State of Qi as well.

"King Qi, can you find the source?"

"That's good enough." King Qi looked up at Lin Jiang: "Do you want to eliminate this place?"

“There are some things I need to confirm,” Lin Jiang said. “But I also know a few people in this town, and I need to find them.”

"Then let's go together." Lin Jiang quickly led Prince Qi to where Yu Wenyun and Jiang Jinyue had been. As he expected, the two had not left. When they saw Prince Qi behind Lin Jiang, their expressions changed immediately.

"King Qi?" Jiang Jinyue's face showed understanding, realizing what Lin Jiang meant by "method".

"Your Highness Prince Qi! It's been a long time! I still haven't tasted that pot of wine you said you'd treat me to last time!" Yu Wenyun said with a smile.

Upon seeing Yu Wenyun, King Qi immediately turned to look at Lin Jiang:

"You know him?"

Lin Jiang also asked in return:
"You know him?"

“I once entrusted this man to find Lady Jiang, but who knew he was a treacherous scoundrel.” King Qi’s eyes widened in anger as he sternly rebuked Yu Wenyun: “That jar of wine was payment; you must not drink it.”

Yu Wenyun laughed loudly, but had no intention of discussing the matter with the King of Qi any further.

"Just these people?"

"There are others scattered elsewhere."

"He brought quite a few people with him." King Qi glanced at Yu Wenyun, "and they are all quite capable."

Without delay, Lin Jiang briefly explained the situation to the two people in front of him, and then led everyone to Madam Wang's residence. In a short while, they arrived at the gate of the residence.

Upon arriving at the gate, they were surprised to see Bai Haochang slumped on the steps, standing side by side with two stone lions.

One, two, three were there, patting him on the shoulder to comfort him.

I have no idea what happened.

Lin Jiang was slightly taken aback, and stepped closer, asking in bewilderment:
"Sect Leader Bai, why do you look so distraught?"

Bai Hao glanced weakly at Lin Jiang, his lips moved slightly, but he remained silent, only able to let out a helpless sigh.

One, two, three stand to the side, speaking on their behalf:

"Just now, Master Bai confessed his love to Madam Wang, but she suddenly changed her expression, insisted that she was loyal to her husband, and after sternly rebuking him, she drove him out of the house."

Lin Jiang opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

I really didn't expect there to be such a plot twist.

However, he didn't have time to pity Bai Haochang, and immediately told the others about the current situation of the entire town.

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's words, Bai Haochang's face showed obvious surprise, followed by him shaking his head rapidly, full of disbelief:
"Young master, you mustn't be trying to fool me. This town may be strange in many ways, but how could I not recognize Madam Wang?"

“My parents are here too,” Lin Jiang said in a deep voice. “Besides, what benefit would I gain from lying to you?”

Bai Hao's lips parted slightly, clearly indicating that he still had a lot to say, but in the end, he suppressed it all.

For a moment, I really didn't know what to say.

Lin Jiang hadn't yet figured out how to comfort him.

Will finding a way to keep the town intact solve the problem?

That's probably not the case.

"Alright, enough with the fuss. I have limited time. Come with me now."

King Qi ignored all of this and led the way, with the crowd following closely behind.

Bai Haochang watched the group depart, finally stood up, glanced back one last time at the tightly closed gate of Madam Wang's house, and then turned to follow them.

The group moved forward together, passing through the noisy crowd, heading further and further west.

Finally, the group arrived at the edge of the town.

This place is much quieter than the town center, with only a thick black curtain hanging down in front of it.

When they arrived, Lin Jiang suddenly twitched his nose twice.

His expression turned serious.

Lin Jiang smelled a faint stench.

The stench of calamity.

P.S.: I suggested a few new names, but the editor thought they were inappropriate and rejected them. The name change is on hold, and I need to think about it some more.
