Chapter 4: Young Girl Ling'er

Zhang Xingyu was shocked.

He opened his eyes with a brush.

In his pupils, a young girl who had not yet shed her childishness was sitting on the edge of the altar, constantly shaking a pair of small feet as white as jade.

The girl combed a pair of high sheep-horn braids, her small face was clean and pink, and her eyes were clear and bright, as bright as stars.

"Who are you?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"I am a female ghost." The little girl blinked her watery big eyes and stuck out her pink little tongue at Zhang Xingyu.

Female ghost?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingyu jumped back several meters away with a thud.

Just encountered a Heavenly Demon, and now met a female ghost.

Although he was very bold, known as Zhang the Bold in his previous life, whether in his previous life or this life, he was naturally very afraid of demons and ghosts.

His heart was thumping like a drum, and the clothes on his back that had just dried were soaked with cold sweat again.

"Giggle, giggle..."

A burst of silver bell-like laughter came from the girl's mouth, but it sounded like a life-taking magic sound to Zhang Xingyu's ears.

"Giggle, giggle, little brother, I'm not a ghost, what are you afraid of?"

I believe you, a ghost. Ghosts all love to say they are not ghosts, you little female ghost still want to lie to me.

"Oh, you are really something, I am really not a ghost!"

Zhang Xingyu closed his eyes tightly.

I can't see you, and you can't see me.

He kept hypnotizing himself in his heart using Ah Q's self-victory method.

After a long time, the little girl stopped making a sound.

Self-hypnosis really works.

He once heard a Feng Shui master say that ghosts are just a kind of energy material. As long as human brain waves do not resonate with these energy materials, they should not be able to see them.

After another moment, feeling that it was already stable, Zhang Xingyu dared to look up and secretly look at the altar.

Damn. Why is that little female ghost still sitting there? Didn't I already use the spiritual victory method?

Huh? She seems to have a shadow behind her.

Zhang Xingyu rubbed his eyes with his hands. He looked at the little female ghost again and found that she was dragging a long shadow behind her.

There is a shadow, she shouldn't be a female ghost.

Zhang Xingyu let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Then, he straightened his back and put on a straight face: "Little sister, people scaring people, scaring people to death. This kind of joke cannot be made."

"Hee hee, I didn't scare you!" The little girl laughed.

Zhang Xingyu was speechless.

After a pause, he asked the little girl: "Little sister, this desert is boundless, how did you get here alone?"

"I didn't come alone, oh." The little girl said to Zhang Xingyu with a smile.

Not alone?

Zhang Xingyu looked beside her again. He didn't see anyone else.

"Boy, did you kill this red-clothed woman?"

Suddenly, a cold and old voice sounded behind him.

"Ah!"

Zhang Xingyu turned his head in surprise, just in time to meet a pair of narrow and cold eyes. Those were the eyes of an old man in green clothes, full of biting killing intent.

"No, no." Zhang Xingyu replied subconsciously.

"Then who killed her?" The old man in green clothes asked coldly.

"It was a man in black, no, it was a black energy. The black energy drilled into her forehead, and she died."

"Black energy, could there be a demon?" The old man in green clothes frowned upon hearing this, muttering to himself.

"It's a Heavenly Demon, the red-clothed fairy's senior brother called him a Heavenly Demon." Zhang Xingyu added.

"Senior, please look, this Heavenly Demon not only killed the red-clothed fairy but also turned her senior brother into a statue." Zhang Xingyu steadied his mind and handed out the stone puppet that the white-clothed man had turned into.

"Turning people into stone statues, could it be that a Heavenly Demon has really come into the world." The old man in green clothes was shocked when he heard this.

He took the stone statue, checked it slightly, and then said eagerly to the girl: "Ling'er, this place is very dangerous, let's leave quickly."

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step to the girl's side, grabbed her arm, and ran out.

"Senior, please take me with you." Zhang Xingyu hurriedly grabbed the few things in front of him and hurriedly chased after them.

However, the old man in green clothes ignored Zhang Xingyu's plea at all. He only cared about running fast with the girl.

The girl heard Zhang Xingyu's plea, so she shook the old man's arm and said: "Grandpa, let's take him with us. He is a mortal, left here, if he is not killed by the demon, he will be trapped to death in the desert."

The old man in green clothes couldn't help but frown when he heard the girl's words.

He originally wanted to ignore Zhang Xingyu. He didn't care about the life or death of a mortal at all.

However, because his favorite granddaughter made a request, his footsteps stopped subconsciously.

He saw him take out a copper mirror the size of a palm from his sleeve, aim it at Zhang Xingyu, and recite the incantation lightly: "Mirror of Demon Reflection, reflect demons and monsters, all demons and monsters reveal their original form! Urgent as the law!"

The copper mirror first made a clear sound, and then shot out a dazzling red light, illuminating Zhang Xingyu from top to bottom, inside and out.

Finding nothing unusual about Zhang Xingyu, the old man in green clothes immediately put away the copper mirror, pulled Zhang Xingyu and the girl Ling'er, and left the temple in a hurry.

Leaving the temple for a hundred meters, the old man slapped two God-Walking Talismans on Zhang Xingyu and the girl's legs, and then pulled the two of them to move quickly in the desert.

One step ten feet, shrinking the ground into an inch.

The speed of the three was incredibly fast, and in less than an hour, they were already two or three hundred miles away from the temple.

Zhang Xingyu was already shocked and speechless. He didn't expect that one day, his legs could be comparable to high-speed rail. Amazing, my legs!

At this time, it was late, and he couldn't see his fingers in the dark.

The three of them had just stopped to rest for a while when they saw a huge beam of light tearing through the darkness in the distance and shooting into the sky. This beam of light went straight into the sky, and the fiery red light illuminated the desert as if it were daytime.

"Treasure is born!"

The old man exclaimed and pulled the girl Ling'er to run towards the beam of light.

"Wait for me!" Zhang Xingyu hurriedly chased after them.

It's just that the speed of the old man and the girl was too fast, and they disappeared in a while.

A quarter of an hour later, the beam of light disappeared, and the desert became pitch black again.

Zhang Xingyu chased in the dark for a while and couldn't run anymore.

Although the God-Walking Talisman had a good effect, it also consumed a lot of physical strength. Zhang Xingyu did not practice, did not have spiritual energy to nourish his body, and it was difficult to recover quickly after this physical consumption.

He sat on the sand, panting heavily.

The desert was terrifyingly dark, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.

He lay half-lying on the sand dune and sang the "Song of Courage" lightly: "Seeing a cockroach, I'm not afraid, not afraid. My nerves are relatively big, I'm not afraid, not afraid, not afraid. Timidity will only make yourself more haggard, numbness is also a brave performance...".

After singing for a while, his heart, which was thumping, gradually calmed down.

The night gave me black eyes, and I want to use them to find the light.

Without you, I can walk out by myself.

I can, I definitely can.

Zhang Xingyu kept cheering himself up in his heart. After recovering some strength, he climbed up and continued to move forward in the dark, one step deep and one step shallow.

The night was safe and sound.

At dawn, at the end of the field of vision, peaks gathered, and the emerald green color in the distance added infinite vitality to this desolate desert.

Zhang Xingyu stood on the sand dune and shouted loudly: "I'm out, I walked out of the desert..."

Immediately after, he rubbed his red eyes and fell down gorgeously.

Looking close, walking far.

After waking up, Zhang Xingyu spent two full hours walking out of the desert and came to the foot of a lush mountain range.

He sat on the ground, rubbing his sore calves while thinking about how to get out of this mountain range.

Currently, the most urgent thing is to find someone to ask for the way out. Otherwise, even if he gets out of the desert, he will be trapped to death in this desolate mountain.

He rested in place for a while, recovered some strength, and then gritted his teeth and climbed to the top of the mountain with his hands and feet.

The mountain wall was steep and thorny. His clothes were torn, and red blood marks were scratched on the surface of his skin.

The sun was in the sky, the sun was like fire, and he finally reached the top of the mountain after pulling and crawling.

Two people stood in the center of the mountain top, one old and one young, exactly the old man and the girl who parted with him at night.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu, the girl made a face at him with a smile: "Mortal brother, you are really amazing, you actually walked out of the desert alone."

After speaking, she turned her head to the old man in green clothes beside her: "Hee hee, Grandpa, you lost."

The old man in green clothes looked at Zhang Xingyu and nodded: "You can reach here, you can be considered to have some perseverance. The old man will give you a great opportunity."

After speaking, he took out a white pill from his arms and sent it to Zhang Xingyu's front out of thin air.

"This is an Enlightenment Pill, you should take it and try."

Enlightenment Pill?

Zhang Xingyu was suspicious in his heart, but didn't ask much.

Opportunity must not be lost, it will not come again.

He reached out and took the spiritual pill, opened his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth. The spiritual pill entered his mouth and turned into a refreshing air current that rushed to his dantian. This air current circled around his dantian and disappeared in an instant.

No dantian roaring, no sweat like lead and mercury. No strange phenomena at all.

The old man in green clothes shook his head lightly. He turned to the little girl and said: "I said he has no spiritual root and cannot practice, you girl still don't believe it, now you should believe this result."

The little girl was also very disappointed: "Mortal brother, although I really want to help you, it's a pity you have no spiritual root."

Zhang Xingyu was depressed in his heart. In this Xianxia World, how can you not practice?

After thinking about it, he stood up, bowed to the old man: "Thank you, Senior, for the spiritual pill." After a pause, he asked unwillingly: "Senior, can I really not practice?"

The old man in green clothes nodded: "You have no spiritual root, naturally you cannot practice."

"Senior, is it necessary to have a spiritual root to practice?" Zhang Xingyu was still unwilling.

The old man pondered for a moment: "Without a spiritual root, naturally you cannot practice. Unless you are an ancient great power, capable of refining a spiritual root yourself."

Zhang Xingyu was about to ask what an ancient great power was, when his brain suddenly dinged: "Love is connected, service is forever, the God Domain System is dedicated to serving you. Congratulations to the host for gaining 1,000 points of Spiritual Aura, converted into 10 points of God Yuan."

Zhang Xingyu was stunned.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu's dull expression, the girl Ling'er was about to step forward to comfort him.

"Awoo!"

A huge beast roar suddenly came from afar, shaking her eardrums and making them buzz, scaring her into a daze in place. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
