After saying this, Xie Shuci was also dumbfounded.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Xie Shuci laughed dryly, "Then what, what's the matter with you?"

Xie Anxu heard his voice and walked towards him unhurriedly.

The man also smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood fellow Taoist. It's a long story, I wonder if my lord would like to sit down for a while?"

Xie Shuci saw that they didn't look like bad guys, but looked like disciples of some immortal sect, so he nodded hesitantly.

Just in time, Xie An walked over.

"What are you doing?" Xie An asked.

When the man saw Xie An, his eyes lit up, "This fellow Taoist..."

Xie Shuci frowned, stood in front of Xie An, and said, "He's just an ordinary person, don't pay attention to him."

Hearing this, the man noticed that there was no trace of spiritual power in Xie An's body, he sighed regretfully, and said to Xie Shuci, "Please."

Xie Shuci and the two were invited to sit at their table.

The man cupped his fists and said, "Xu Si, I am a disciple of the Xu family in Huai Zhou, and these are my juniors."

Seeing this, Xie Shuci said: "My name is Xie Shuci, and this is my younger brother."

Xu Si nodded and said, "Thank you, fellow daoist, to be honest, we have something that we hope to ask for your help."

Xie Shuci looked at them suspiciously, leaned closer to Xie An, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We were on this trip because we received news that young men frequently disappeared in the mountains. According to nearby villagers, some people heard ghosts screaming in the mountains at night, but any young and good-looking men who entered the mountains would disappear mysteriously. Although We have issued an order to prohibit anyone from approaching the forest, but there are still many men missing in the city at night."

Hearing the word "ghost", Xie Shuci couldn't help shrinking his neck, and leaned against Xie An's shoulder, curious at the same time, "Then what?"

Xu Sidao: "We tried to lure the snake out of the hole, but unfortunately..."

Speaking of this, Xu Si and his juniors looked a little embarrassed.

Xie Shuci asked puzzledly, "What's the pity?"

Xu Si coughed dryly, "Unfortunately, the looks of the few of us don't seem to catch that ghost's eyes."

Hearing this, the corner of Xie Shuci's mouth twitched, and asked in a low voice: "One, not one?"

Xu Si couldn't hold back his face even more, lowered his head and said, "Well, there isn't one."

"..." Xie Shuci suppressed a smile, and comforted him: "Maybe that ghost is the same as Liu Dazhuang, with a different aesthetic from normal people."

Xu Si said again: "We have inquired, and the young men captured by the ghosts are just like you, with good looks and thin bodies,"

Hearing this, Xie Shuci suddenly reacted.

He opened his eyes wide, pointed at himself in disbelief, and said, "You...don't mean to ask me to help you lure the snake out of the hole, right?"

Several people looked at him and blinked.

Xie Shuci: "..."

"Don't talk!"

impossible! Absolutely impossible! Xie Shuci would rather die if he was asked to seduce a ghost in the mountains, a man who is as beautiful as a flower and has no power to bind a chicken.

That's a ghost! Xie Shuci is not afraid of heaven and earth... Although this point is doubtful, there is no doubt that what he fears most is ghosts!

Although in Modern Society. He is a person who believes in science very much, and he often tells himself that things like ghosts do not really exist, but this is the world of cultivating immortals! There are really ghosts!

But Xu Si said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist, I will definitely ensure the safety of Fellow Daoist, and I will ask the Patriarch for instructions to let you become an inner disciple of the Xu family. If there are other conditions, Fellow Daoist will also It can be brought up."

Xie Shuci wrinkled his face and said, "Why do you have to look for me! Didn't that bastard also arrest other people? You can just find someone in the city."

Xu Si said: "Fellow Taoist, most of the people in the city are ordinary people. After all, this matter still has certain risks. Of course, people who practice Taoism are more suitable."

Xie Shuci twisted his face, coming to the world of comprehension

After so long, Xie Shuci is much more courageous than before, at least he is not so afraid of life and death, but the ghost thing is different! The earth ghost in the tomb was so frightened that he only heard the sound. If he really faced the ghost face to face, Xie Shuci was worried that he would pee his pants in fright.

Bah bah bah! impossible!

Seeing the embarrassment of Xie Shuci, one of the men said: "Brother, please don't make things difficult for the young master. The young master is a loose cultivator himself, and he doesn't seem to be from Huai Zhou by his clothes. He doesn't need to take risks for the people of Huaizhou. What's more, if he If something goes wrong, what should this young master do."

He is so understanding, Xie Shuci is a little embarrassed.

He scratched the back of his head and murmured, "Loose cultivators are also monks. It is the responsibility of all cultivators to protect the people, but..."

Xu Si pondered for a moment, then nodded in understanding, "Junior brother is right, this matter is the responsibility of the Xu family, how can we let fellow Taoists take risks for us? It's just that those young men who were taken away may have returned Alive, I just want to rescue them as soon as possible, alas."

"The ghost is hiding in the mountain. We searched the entire mountain before, but we didn't find any trace of it. I'm afraid that if it doesn't show itself, we will never find it."

"Yeah, I can only stay at the foot of the mountain at night, in case another young man is killed."

Xie Shuci listened to them discussing each other, and seemed to have given up on letting himself help, but Xie Shuci didn't feel relaxed.

He is different from before, he is a cultivator, and he is no longer like A Dong at that time, he was really powerless, and he didn't even realize the horror of this world at all, and he did things according to his own mood.

When was in the second year of middle school, was still clamoring all day long to save the world and become a hero, why now have this opportunity to help others, but still shrink back?

Ghosts are scary, but you are not an ordinary person. To be honest, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Although you may not be able to defeat such ghosts, you must have the ability to protect yourself. Of course, Xie Shuci will not be ruled out. was so frightened that legs went limp.

However, it is not the behavior of a real man to ignore death.

"Go back to the room?"

Seeing him silent for a long time, Xie An spoke up.

Xie Shuci shook his head, "Little blind man, I..."

However, before he could say it, Xie An knew what he meant.

Xie Shuci is really easy to understand.

Back then, he was willing to die for a child whom he had only known for a few days, but now that he has the ability to protect himself, how can he not save him from death.

"Whatever you want." Xie An said lightly.

Xie Shuci shook his hand gratefully, and immediately said to Xu Siji: "I can help you with this."

Xu Si was taken aback, "Really?!"

"Really, but before that, I must ask my two friends."

After all, they had other things to do here, Xie Shuci didn't want to waste the time of Si Kongxin and the two of them, after all, the Longya Secret Realm was extremely dangerous, and it was imminent to find Ban Xiayin.

As soon as Xie Shuci finished speaking, two voices sounded from behind.

"Brother Xie has a heart, but we are naturally obliged to wait for matters that are life-threatening."

"I have no objection."

Xie Shuci turned his head in surprise, and saw Si Kongxin and the two walking towards them slowly.

Miss Zixi turned into a little purple snake, poking her head out from Sikongxin's cuff, spitting out the letter with a "hiss".

"Who are you two?" Xu Si asked doubtfully.

Xie Shuci got up and said to him: "These two are my friends."

Xu Si's eyes flicked around the two of them. Compared with Xie Shuci, the clothes of these two people were even more different, and they were not ordinary people at first glance. The purple snake on the young man's wrist is obviously not a mortal thing, and the ax hanging from the waist of the big man is also floating with spiritual power.

I met a nobleman!

Xu Si was extremely thankful that he stopped Xie Shuci in time, with the help of these fellow Taoists, they would surely be able to catch the ghosts in the mountains.

Xu Si and the others stood up, clasped their fists at Si Kongxin and said, "My servant, Xu Si."

Si Kongxin nodded lazily, "Chengxin."

Liu Dazhuang was about to introduce himself, but when he heard Si Kongxin's scribbled pseudonym, he paused for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "I'm sweating."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Xu Si: "..."

high! Definitely high!

With this scribbled name, I'm afraid that others will not know that this is a pseudonym.

But everyone in Xu Si didn't expose it, and nodded with a dry smile.

Si Kongxin and the two were quite comfortable, they sat in directly, and asked: "Brother Xu, can you explain the matter in more detail, when did the ghost appear, and what strange things happened before and after."

Xie An was sitting on the left of Xie Shuci, and Liu Dazhuang was sitting on the right. Surrounded in the middle, he felt very safe. His curiosity slowly overwhelmed his fear and floated up. He lay on the table, waiting for Xu Si to tell a story.

Xu Si nodded, and said solemnly: "About half a month ago, a man disappeared while walking in the mountains. According to the people nearby, it was also from that day on, every night, there would be gusts of wind on the mountain , the wind is often mixed with the mournful singing of women."

"Half a month ago..." Xie Shuci frowned, didn't that happen to be the day they left the Flower Building?

Xu Si told the story exactly, and there was nothing terrible in it, because the ghost never appeared from the beginning to the end.

But for Xie Shuci, the sound alone is enough to make him tremble with fear

After hearing the whole story, the only thing that can be called a clue is that there used to be a fairy gate on that mountain, and the whole family moved away about hundreds of years ago.

Later, the people nearby called it Little Immortal Mountain.

After all, this is an Immortal Mountain, the vegetation on it grows densely, and the scenery is very beautiful, so the people in the city will climb the mountain to view the scenery from time to time. But the strange thing is that for so many years, no one has ever seen the old site of the Xianmen in the mountains, and they don't know what the name of the Xianmen is.

Since men disappeared one after another in the mountain, the Xu family sent people to temporarily garrison around Xiaoxian Mountain until the haunting ghost was caught.

It's a pity that the thing came and went without a trace, and it was able to go freely under their garrison, so thought of a way to lure the snake out of the hole, find a monk to lure the ghost to appear, try it out, and find other captured men location.

But they searched for many monks in the door, but none of them could get into the eyes of the ghost. Seeing Xie Shuci today, hope was rekindled.

Speaking of this, Xie Shuci is quite complacent.

In the end, Xie Shuci asked, "Then what should I do?"

Xu Si said: "That ghost is not afraid of people, going in and out of the small Immortal Mountain is like entering the land of no one, if you can attract it, it will naturally appear."

After listening to him talk for a long time, but he still didn't get to the point, Xie Shuci couldn't help asking: "So?"

"So, fellow daoists need to enter the small Immortal Mountain tonight." Xu Si said in a deep voice.

Xie Shuci was speechless, then changed his mind and said again: "Should... I'm not alone?"

Xu Si and several disciples glanced at him.

Xie Shuci let out a dry laugh.

Xu Si avoided answering, saying: "The young men who were taken away are all alone."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Xie Shuci's expression was frozen, and his mouth felt parched.

"In the middle of the night...I want to go alone...to the mountains...to seduce a ghost?"

Saying a word, Xie Shuci's face turned pale.

Just imagining this scene, Xie Shuci felt his scalp go numb.

Liu Dazhuang glanced at him with disdain, and said to Xu Siji: "He can't do it, let me do it!"

Xu Si's face froze, and he forced a smile, "You don't need to bother fellow daoist."

Sikong Xin curled his lips, wondering where this person got such confidence.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go."

As if aware of Xie Shuci's hesitation, Xie An raised his head, his tone was calm and calm, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Hearing this, Xu Si and several disciples immediately looked at Xie Shuci nervously.

Xie Shuci has promised others, how dare you go back now!

But, alone! Go find a ghost!

Si Kongxin glanced at him, and rested his fingers on Purple Snake's head, "Brother Xie, what worries do you have? I'll let Zixi go with you."

Saying that, the purple snake crawled towards Xie Shuci along Si Kongxin's fingers.

"No, no, no, no, no, no!"

When Xie Shuci heard it, he immediately turned his head into a sieve.

Absolutely not! He was terrified of molluscs like snakes. If there was a snake crawling on him, Xie Shuci would probably be too frightened to walk.

"That's right!" At this moment, Xie Shuci had a flash of inspiration and said, "Can I take the king with me? Just a puppy?"

Xu Si nodded, "Yes. At that time, I will leave a Gu on your body. If there is any danger, we will be at the foot of the mountain and we will rush there immediately."

Before Xie Shuci had time to be happy, he asked doubtfully, "Gu?"

Before Xu Si could speak, Xie An said, "Reining the insects."

"Worm..." Xie Shuci's whole body trembled, and his back was pressed tightly against Xie An's shoulder. When he heard this word, he felt his scalp go numb.

Seeing how cowardly he was, Liu Dazhuang sneered and said, "Afraid of insects? Then you catch earthworms with me."

"I drank too much!" Xie Shuci said angrily, "And can Gu worms and earthworms be the same?!"

Xu Si was stunned for a moment, released a six-legged black worm from his sleeve, and said to Xie Shuci: "Don't worry, fellow daoist, they..."

"Fuck! Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!"

Xie Shuci suddenly turned around and slipped into Xie An's arms, looking at the things on the back of Xu Si's hands, goosebumps all over his body stood up, and his shrill cry made other guests look sideways. Xie Shuci only took one look, then buried his face in Xie An's chest, his body trembling slightly, looking very pitiful.

Xie An was extremely calm, and put his hands on Xie Shuci's back as usual, comforting him slowly and gently.

Xu Si didn't expect him to react so strongly, and was stunned for a moment.

Si Kongxin felt that he was a person with a head and a face, and was looked at by other people like monkeys. He turned his head expressionlessly, pretending not to know them.

Liu Dazhuang reprimanded directly: "I'm a good boy, are you afraid of such a little thing? Just tell me, what are you not afraid of?"

"This..." Xu Si said awkwardly.

"Put it away!" Xie Shuci roared.

Xie Shuci's scalp looked like ants were crawling, and he didn't dare to look over there again.

Seeing this, Xu Si had no choice but to take the Gu back.

It's not that he has never seen people who are afraid of Gu insects, but most of them are ordinary people. This is the first time he has seen people who used to practice Taoism be afraid of insects.

Several disciples of the Xu family couldn't help laughing and said: "Young master, don't be afraid, Gu worms don't hurt people."

Xie Shuci poked his head out from Xie An's arms, saw that the Gu worm had been taken back, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is not a question of whether it will hurt or not, it is..."

The main reason is that the bugs are so disgusting!

"Anyway, anyway, I don't want to touch this thing!"

"However, if you don't bring the Gu worms with you, we can't guarantee your safety." Xu Siwei wondered.

Sikong said: "Zi Xi and I have a unique way of communicating messages, Brother Xie, why don't you choose one?"

Xie Shuci: "..."

I fucking choose neither!

As night fell, there were fewer pedestrians on the street.

The shopkeeper told the store waiter to go to each room to remind everyone, no matter men or women, try not to go out alone at night.

After midnight, Xie Shuci was fully armed, and the group left the inn in a mighty manner.

Half an hour later, everyone came to the foot of the small Immortal Mountain.

I don't know if it's subconscious, but Xie Shuci feels gloomy everywhere he looks, and he doesn't have the energy to think about other things. He sticks to Xie An's side, eyes wide open, and looks around in fear.

The night wind blew on Xie Shuci's face, and he shivered involuntarily.

"Here, reach out your hand." Si Kongxin said.

Xie Shuci pursed his lips and reluctantly raised his mouth.

Raising his arm, a small snake crawled across the back of Si Kongxin's hand and slowly crawled onto Xie Shuci's hand.

When the cold touch was on the skin, Xie Shuci couldn't help tightening his body. Miss Zixi seemed to know Xie Shuci's fear, and even swept his skin with the letter in a wicked way, scaring Xie Shuci tightly shut dare not move upper eyes.

Afterwards, Zixi coiled around Xie Shuci's right wrist.

"Wait a minute, I have a word with Xie An." Xie Shuci said to the crowd, and then pulled Xie An aside.

"Little blind man, I don't know if I'm going to live or die. If something happens to me, you follow Si Kongxin. Although he looks like a fool, he is actually a good and responsible person."

Si Kongxin who heard these words through Zixi: "..."

Okay, this fool really treats Xiao Xun as an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken, poor man.

Xie An nodded after listening.

Xie Shuci lowered his voice again: "My tokens, treasures, and pills are all hidden under the bed. If I can't come back, remember to take them away."

Xie An listened quietly and nodded again.

Xie Shuci: "..."

Depend on! This person is too heartless, right? Maybe I'm going to die! He didn't respond at all, he really was a white-eyed wolf.

"you……"

Xie Shuci originally wanted to scold him for being heartless, but he was a bit reluctant, in case he really couldn't come back, it's better for the little blind man not to care, so as not to be sad. After all, Xie Shuci is not from this world, maybe he will go back after he dies.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuci couldn't help but look at him with more complicated eyes, and if he didn't say some things, he might never have another chance.

"Xie An, if I don't come back, you can't forget me."

Xie An's long eyelashes trembled, "No."

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Xie Shuci asked.

Xie An lowered his eyes, avoiding Xie Shuci's bright eyes, "You will be fine."

Hearing this, Xie Shuci's eyes dimmed, and he immediately nodded fiercely, "Yes! I'll be fine! I'm a monk anyway, so I'll be fine!"

Liu Dazhuang didn't know when he ran to the two of them, put his arm around Xie Shuci's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You can have a shit! You don't know what Zixi is from? Brother Sikong's contracted beast, with her around you can What's the matter?"

Xie Shuci: "..."

Yes! Zixi can transform into form and has been cultivated for at least hundreds of years. Could it be that he still can't deal with a small ghost?

Xie Shuci, Xie Shuci, you really don't have a brain! Besides, there is still a king here!

No matter what the king said, he was also a little monster born with an inner core. How could ordinary ghosts be its opponents.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuci straightened his face, supported Xie An's shoulders, and said solemnly: "Forget the idiot thing I said just now."

Xie An: "..."

So, accompanied by the king and Zi Xi, Xie Shuci walked into the mountain alone.

The shade of the surrounding trees is low, and the moonlight is sparsely sprinkled on the ground, barely illuminating the road under our feet.

Xie Shuci thought that he would still tremble with fear like the first time, but in fact, he was not very scared, but he was very sensitive to the wind and grass around him.

The king lay quietly in his arms, looking around with round eyes.

Zi Xi coiled between his wrists and remained motionless, probably liking the smell of Xie Shuci's body, closing his eyes, feeling like he was about to fall asleep.

A bird flew over the branch suddenly, its wings collided with the branches and leaves, making a "squeaky" sound, which was very clear in the quiet mountain where only the sound of the wind was heard.

Xie Shuci was taken aback, and immediately looked up vigilantly. A bird was flying in mid-air and landed on the branch of another tree.

The night wind blew the branches faintly swaying, reflecting the shadow of a monster with its teeth and claws on the ground.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at him in a dark corner.

Xie Shuci couldn't help but lighten his steps, leaned against a big tree, and took a heavy breath.

Xie Shuci was under too much psychological pressure. Although nothing happened, his body was already

Sweating.

Xie Shuci took a deep breath, he had already arrived anyway, he had to lure the ghost out no matter what!

The missing men, whose bodies have not yet been seen, are most likely still alive, and the sooner they are found, the better the hope.

After resting enough, Xie Shuci continued to grit his teeth and move forward.

The wind blew the surrounding trees rustling, making hoarse and weird noises one after another.

Xie Shuci didn't notice that a piece of peach blossom petals had been stained on the corner of his clothes at some point, emitting a faint red luster in the darkness.

As we went up the mountain, the wind eased down, and the surrounding area became quieter.

The night sky was almost completely blocked by the shade of the trees. Fortunately, Xie Shuci is not an ordinary person now, and he has cultivated the sea of ​​consciousness, so he can see everything around him clearly.

"call……"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, as if someone was hiding in the darkness, and blew a breath of sticky wind behind Xie Shuci's ear.

Xie Shuci's heart tightened, he suddenly turned around, and there was nothing behind him.

He rubbed the base of his ears, and after comforting himself repeatedly in his heart, Xie Shuci continued to walk forward.

He had been walking for an unknown amount of time, and he was getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain. He didn't dare to speak, so he put his hand on the king's stomach, feeling the rise and fall of the king's breathing, to make himself feel at ease.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed from the corner of the eye.

Xie Shuci looked over vigilantly, "Who?"

The king also noticed the abnormality, straightened up from Xie Shuci's arms, faced one direction, and grinned.

A woman's ethereal laughter suddenly sounded in the air.

The laughter seemed to come from the void, blending with the gloomy environment in the mountains, making it even more frightening.

Xie Shuci swallowed his saliva, looked in the direction where the shadow flashed, and didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

"hiss"

Zi Xi also woke up, and leaned out half of his body from Xie Shuci's cuff.

"The young master came to the mountain in the middle of the night, but he came for the little girl?"

The woman's voice was like a bell, clear and sweet, but somehow it made people's backs run cold.

"Aw!" the king yelled anxiously.

At the same time, the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the strange wind and came towards Xie Shuci.

"Be careful!" Zi Xi's voice sounded in his mind.

Xie Shuci was stunned, and quickly used his spiritual power to block in front of him, resisting the leaves flying towards him.

"Friar? Are you a monk?"

The woman's voice suddenly became extremely cold.

"What I hate the most in my life is monks!"

There was a strong wind blowing around, and Xie Shuci was blinded by the wind.

Zixi's voice continued to ring in his mind:

"I lost contact with the master, she is not an ordinary ghost, be careful."
