Xie Shuci couldn't help being surprised.

The strong wind rolled up the dust on the ground, the branches and leaves danced wildly in the air, and the wind blew on the skin like needles.

The king jumped out of Xie Shuci's arms, and changed back into the form of a red snow wolf, with his front legs bent downwards, assuming an attacking posture.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Shuci worried that it would get lost, so he hurriedly called out.

In front of Xie Shuci's body, King Hu showed a few sharp fangs and looked towards the dark space ahead.

Xie Shuci used spiritual power to resist in front of several people, separating the bleak wind in the air.

Zi Xi crawled out from Xie Shuci's cuff, spit out the letter and looked in the same direction as the king.

At the same time, a figure appeared and disappeared under the shade of the tree, approaching Xie Shuci from far and near.

"Aw!" the Great Dynasty barked wildly in front of it.

"Since you hate monks, why didn't you attack them? The young men you captured were all ordinary people." Xie Shuci's voice seemed broken in the wind.

"call out"

Suddenly, a leaf as sharp as a blade flew towards Xie Shuci.

Xie Shuci reacted quickly and avoided it in time.

"I caught them because I have been alone for hundreds of years, and I want to find a few men who can catch my eye to relieve my boredom."

Xie Shuci was overjoyed, "So, they are still alive?"

In the air, the woman's cold laughter sounded.

"It doesn't matter whether they are still alive, what matters is whether you can get out of here alive."

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly appeared on the big tree above Xie Shuci's head.

Xie Shuci suddenly raised his head and saw a woman sitting lightly on a tree branch.

She was dressed in bright red, and the skirt fluttered in the air, like will-o'-the-wisps. Her two bare feet were frighteningly white, hanging in the air, and there was a blue rope tied around her right ankle.

Xie Shuci stared at this scene abruptly, and was completely frightened. It's like those plots that often appear in horror movies appear in front of Xie Shuci's eyes in a very real way.

Xie Shuci took a deep breath, the blood flowed backwards all over his body, his legs softened, and he almost knelt down directly.

"The monks who came here a few days ago are not half as good-looking as you. Although the little girl doesn't like cultivators, she likes your face very much. Young master, since you are here, please leave the skin."

The woman's voice is clear and sweet, but the words she speaks make people's spine shine.

Xie Shuci's brain is running fast at this moment, and the connection between Zixi and Si Kongxin has been cut off. He should be aware of the abnormality, and he should calm down and delay the time to see if he can pry something out of the female ghost's mouth to save him. down the others.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuci swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down. After all, he is a dead person, and he seems to be able to communicate, so he is no different from a human being!

In addition, even though the female ghost said so, she didn't attack Xie Shuci immediately, and the king and Zi Xi didn't realize that she had murderous intentions in Xie Shuci.

However, at some point, the surrounding things became very dark, the night light in the sky disappeared completely, and couldn't see fingers. The only thing Xie Shuci could see was the female ghost sitting on the branch.

"Sister, you said you hated monks, but you didn't hurt the disciples of the Xu family. In fact, you are very kind-hearted, right?" Xie Shuci said bravely.

Under the weak light, Xie Shuci could only see the woman's bright red skirt hanging down, and a pair of feet as white as the wall.

Since she hadn't communicated with others for hundreds of years, the female ghost was not in a hurry to kill Xie Shuci. After all, the men she met before were either fainted by fright when they saw her, or fainted by fright when they saw her scream. As for those monks, they were too ordinary to be noticed, and she didn't even bother to show up.

"Kindness? Do you know who I was before I was alive? I don't kill them because I don't want to dirty my hands. You monks should be killed by wild dogs! Eat their flesh, drink their blood, and eat your bones!" said At the back, the female ghost's voice became colder and colder.

"Oh?" The king called out in doubt.

Ah, no, the baby is not a dog.

Xie Shuci dry laugh

Said: "Then I am also a monk, you killed me, didn't you also dirty your hands."

The female ghost was silent for a moment, "It makes sense, get lost."

Xie Shuci: "..."

Are you so hasty, sister?

"Sister, can I take the liberty to ask, are all the men you captured alive?"

The female ghost tapped her toes lightly in mid-air, and her body immediately soared into the air, and the thick fog surrounding them gradually dissipated, revealing the bright moonlight in the sky.

"Go back and tell them that I will let them go when I get tired of playing. If you come to the mountains to disturb me again, I will not show mercy."

After finishing speaking, she hummed the tune softly and gradually disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Xie Shuci was dumbfounded, and so was the king.

It just disappeared?

Are ghosts so kind these days? Tired of playing and take the initiative to put people back? However, what exactly is this "play"?

"Aww!"

After the female ghost's breath disappeared, the king leaned down and rubbed Xie Shuci's face.

Zi Xi said: "She has already left, let's go back."

Xie Shuci looked at the place where the female ghost disappeared, and nodded in a daze.

This ghost is not scary at all, it feels no different from ordinary people, and Xie Shuci thinks she is quite pitiful, a person... no, a ghost has been alone for hundreds of years, and it talks about hating monks, but He didn't shoot any monks, it seems that those young men were taken away, and they didn't want their lives.

How did Xie Shuci come and how did he go back? On the way, he met Xu Si and his party who hurried up.

Si Kongxin and Liu Dazhuang walked in front, Xie An and Xu Si followed behind.

"Hiss—" Seeing her master, Zi Xi flew out from Xie Shuci's cuff, and Si Kongxin reached out to take it, and gently patted her head.

Seeing Xie Shuci, Xu Si hurriedly asked: "Xie Daoyou, but what happened in the mountains?"

Xie Shuci sighed, "I saw a female ghost."

"Really?" Xu Si's expression was shocked, and the other three also looked at him.

"Since you saw her, why did you come down safe and sound?" Xu Si couldn't help but wondered.

For these days, the reason no one has seen that ghost is purely because those who have seen her have been taken away, and Xie Shuci is the first person who came back safe and sound after seeing her.

Xie Shuci said in embarrassment: "She told me to get out."

Xu Si: "..."

The two of Si Kongxin: "..."

Seeing their frozen expressions, Xie An hugged the king and rushed to Xie An's side in a few steps.

"Is there something wrong?" Xie An asked.

Xie Shuci nodded, then shook his head again, "She said that she hated cultivators the most in her life, and wanted to peel off my skin, but she told me to get out because she was afraid of getting her hands dirty."

When he said this, Xie Shuci's tone was very calm, and he was a completely different person from before going up the mountain.

Xie An frowned.

"Did you find the whereabouts of the others?" Xu Si asked with a frown.

Xie Shuci said: "She probably didn't kill those people, and said..."

Xie Shuci suddenly faltered.

"What else?" Xu Si asked.

Xie Shuci was still hesitating here, but Si Kongxin had already opened his mouth: "I also told you not to go to the mountains to disturb her, and she will let her back when she gets tired of playing, otherwise, if you go into the mountains again, she will I won't show mercy any more."

Xu Si looked at Xie Shuci suspiciously, and Xie Shuci nodded, "That's what she said."

"Play?" Xie An asked suspiciously.

Xie Shuci was taken aback for a moment, yes, he almost forgot, there was a "pure" underage beside him, Xie Shuci nodded cooperatively, "Just... you know playing games, right?"

Si Kongxin: "..."

"By the way, how do you know what she said?" After reacting, Xie Shuci looked at Si Kongxin in surprise.

The latter stroked the purple snake's head, and said unhurriedly: "She told me."

Si Kongxin said again: "She also discovered something, let's go back to the inn

Go into more detail. "

"Since that's the case, it's getting late, and it's useless to stay here. Go back."

The moment Xie Shuci turned and walked down the mountain, the peach blossom petals on the corner of his clothes flew back to Xie An's waist before everyone noticed.

Not long after, the group returned to the inn.

Because it was late at night, there was no one in the lobby, only the waiter sitting behind the counter dozed off.

The other disciples of the Xu family went back to their rooms to rest for the time being, while Xu Si sat in the lobby with the four of them and continued to discuss.

Xie Shuci was frightened, and after traveling for so long, and the candles in the lobby were dim, he lay down on the table and yawned twice.

Xie An suggested to let him go back to his room to rest, but everyone else was here, he was embarrassed, and really wanted to know what Zi Xi found in the mountains.

After all, at that time, Xie Shuci was only concerned with fear, and didn't pay much attention to observing his surroundings.

The king was probably tired too, lying on the table and sleeping soundly, the noise of everyone's conversation didn't seem to affect him.

Si Kongxin stroked the little snake, and said to the crowd: "Zi Xi said, that female ghost cultivated the Dao of Slaughter before she was alive, and she has already completed it."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a dead silence.

After a while, Liu Dazhuang slammed the table, startling both Xie Shuci and the king.

Xie Shuci shivered with fright, his drowsiness faded instantly, and he sat up straight as if waking up from a dream.

Xie An frowned in displeasure, and glanced at Liu Dazhuang as if there was nothing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Si Kongxin kicked Liu Dazhuang, and reprimanded: "It's late at night, don't be surprised."

But Liu Dazhuang said in disbelief: "Impossible, once Dacheng's killing Taoist cultivator dies, he will be expelled by the Heavenly Dao, so how could she become a ghost?"

Xu Si also said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Liu is right. Ghosts are formed after the resentment of the soul after death. It is impossible for Dacheng monks of the Dao of Slaughter to become ghosts."

Xie Shuci looked confused, "She is cultivating the way of killing? Impossible."

Xie An said: "Perhaps, she is not dead."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Xie An didn't intend to speak again, but Si Kongxin continued his words and began to say: "Yes, she is not dead yet. Zixi is my contract beast, and I have a spiritual connection with her, but just now, I and her The connection was broken."

Liu Dazhuang asked doubtfully, "How do you say that?"

Xie Shuci and the others didn't understand much, so they waited for Si Kongxin to continue.

Si Kongxin said: "Everyone should be clear that monsters are different from us humans. They have very keen sense of smell and intuition. The killing spirit on the monks of Killing Dao will pose a severe threat to them. When you feel that your life is threatened, In order not to implicate the master, they will automatically disconnect. That ghost... no, it should be Dacheng's Dao Slaughter monk, and she is not dead yet. She just used some means to separate her soul from her body."

"By some means, the soul and body are separated?"

Xie Shuci murmured puzzled, "Then she has lived for hundreds of years?"

Si Kongxin said: "That's right, none of the cultivators who have ascended in the past and present have come to Kill Dao, because the cultivators of Killing Dao can't resist the thunder disaster during ascension. No matter how high his cultivation is, once he faces ascension, he will definitely be killed So, a Dacheng monk is already at the highest level in the Dao of Slaughter, and his cultivation base can be compared with the power to soar, so it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years."

Xie Shuci nodded his head half-understood, his impression of Killing Dao was all from Xiao Xun he saw in the book, and he didn't know much about it.

"Then why did she suddenly appear here?" Xu Si asked suspiciously.

Everyone fell silent and listened to what the female ghost said. She has been separated from her soul and body for hundreds of years, why did she appear here after hundreds of years?

Xie Shuci had a faint guess in his heart. He looked at the silent crowd and asked hesitantly, "Is it possible that she came out of the Dragon Tooth Realm?"

Several people frowned and looked at him: "How do you say that?"

Xie Shuci didn't have much confidence, and his tone was a little bit less confident: "Xu Si, you said before that the first missing man was half a month ago. At that time, we just received the news that Longya Secret Realm raised

Before closing, set off from Tianzhu City to Huai Zhou. "

Hearing this, Si Kongxin pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's not impossible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she suddenly appeared after hundreds of years."

Xie Shuci continued: "Besides, when we were in the tomb of the immortals, we found that the layout inside was very strange. The living people could come and go freely, but the souls could not. The senior disciple of the Chu family who went with me said that the tomb was used Those who came to suppress the evil spirits, all those who died inside will be trapped in it together with the soul of the water god. Later, the fairy tomb collapsed, and the water god left the secret realm of dragon teeth, so I think, the earth yin trapped inside The ghost should have come out too."

Xu Si didn't know the inside story, because Huai Zhou was far away from Bian Province, Xu family didn't have any disciples who entered the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm, so he only heard of some.

"So, this ghost is the earth ghost trapped in the fairy tomb?"

Si Kongxin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Most of the Earth Yin ghosts don't have memories of their lives, let alone she didn't die."

Thinking of something, Si Kongxin glanced at the silent Xie An and said, "The key to cultivating the Tao is that the soul is not in the body. Even if her soul and body are separated, she should have a strong murderous aura on her body. However, Zi Xi said She didn't have any killing intent on her body, and she didn't hurt the monks who went up the mountain. The young men who were taken away seemed to have no intention of hurting their lives. Moreover, there was a very gentle spiritual power in her soul, which seemed to be It was this spiritual power that suppressed her killing spirit."

"Aww!" The king woke up at some point, and barked at Sikong Xin a few times.

The baby knows whose spiritual power it is!

"Don't make noise." Xie Shuci patted his dog's head.

"Aw!" The king stood up abruptly, and yelled while lying down on the table, sticking out his tongue as if he was dying.

Xie Shuci stared at it suspiciously for a while, then suddenly realized, "Ban Xiayin?!"

"Aw!" The king nodded excitedly.

Xie Shuci then asked: "Do you know that spiritual power? It's the water god, Ban Xia Yin, right?"

Back then when they were in the fairy tomb, the others were on the verge of death. When the king took Xie Shuci to find the East Yin Chamber, it was Ban Xiayin who led them. The king knew his spiritual power.

"Ban Xiayin?"

Xie Shuci raised his head and said to everyone: "It's the water god! It's the water god who restrained her murderous nature with spiritual power!"

Hearing this, Si Kongxin frowned, "She really came out of the Dragon Fang secret realm."

Liu Dazhuang looked at a few people, "I'm a good boy, so it doesn't take much effort? As long as you catch her, you can find the water god?"

Xu Si listened to their words in a daze, what kind of water god, what Ban Xiayin, for him, these are names that exist in the story.

No way, Xie Shuci had no choice but to tell him roughly what happened in the fairy tomb.

After listening to Xie Shuci's words, Xu Si felt like a lump in his throat. Never would he have imagined that the Banxia Clan, who once flourished and was a symbol of the Dao of Heaven together with the Frightened Feather Bird, died at the hands of a group of mortals? He was even trapped in his own sea of ​​consciousness!

Xu Si was still puzzled: "If that's the case, why did the Water God help a cultivator of the Dao of Slaughter? They should hate killing the most."

Xie Shuci shook his head and said, "Master Water God naturally has his own reasons for what he did. Besides, I don't think that monk is a heinous person, and there may be some hidden secrets in it."

On the side, Si Kongxin also nodded and said: "The bibliography makes sense. Since she is related to the water god and is also in Huai Zhou, she must know the location of the water god. As long as we can dig it out from her mouth, we can save a lot of effort." .”

Hearing this, everyone fell into silence again.

She is a Daoist massacre cultivator, and none of you present is her opponent, and she let go of her cruel words, and she will not show mercy if someone disturbs her. If they go rashly, they may be asking for trouble.

But, is it really necessary to wait until she has had enough fun and let him out?

This must not be done, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger.

As the only living person who had met the female ghost, Xie Shuci still had a little say.

He hesitated for a moment, and said to the crowd: "The monk said that what she hated the most in her life was people who cultivated the Tao. Maybe there is some knot in her heart that has not been untied? Maybe help her untie the knot, and she will not continue to catch her. Go innocent man."

After hearing his words, Si Kongxin hesitated, "Could it be that her knot is related to a male monk?"

Liu Dazhuang didn't like to use his brain. Hearing them gossiping for a long time and still guessing here, he said speechlessly: "Then ask her face to face."

Xie Shuci glanced at him faintly, "I'm going?"

"Otherwise? Others have gone, but she won't come out."

Xie Shuci grabbed a cup and threw it at him, "Get out, she said, whoever goes will die, won't I die if I go!"

"Then I would like to go, but she is blind and doesn't like me." Liu Dazhuang paused for a moment, and was happy again when he thought of something, "Hey, tell me, are all the cultivators of the Killing Dao the same as her? If you can't bear it Living in loneliness, just grab a few ugly men on the street and go back? I don’t know if Xiao Xun is the same... Hiss! Si...Brother Cheng Xin, why are you kicking me again?"

Si Kongxin gritted his teeth with a dark face, and glanced at the face of the boy next to Xie Shuci, thinking that if I didn't kick you, Xiao Xun would assassinate you tonight!

Xie Shuci gave him a blank look, "There are still children here, don't talk nonsense."

"Kids? Who?"

"Oh?" The king tilted his head.

Do you mean baby?

Knowing that the female ghost will not hurt people's lives for the time being, and confirming that she came from the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm and has the spiritual power of the water god, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But they can't sit still and wait for the female ghost to release the person, but it's getting late, the five of them discussed and discussed the woman's identity tomorrow to help her untie her knot.

Xie Shuci drove the journey for half a month, didn't sleep well, didn't eat well, and was pulled away after such a night of tossing after he had just settled down. He was already too sleepy to open his eyes, and he didn't have the energy to think about things. , fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed.

The next day, Xie Shuci slept until close to noon before getting up. When he left the room, he learned that everyone except him and Xie An had already left, and seemed to be going to some rich merchant's house to check the files.

Xie Shuci took Xie An to eat something casually, and then led by the waiter to the rich merchant's mansion.

Along the way, Xie Shuci got some information from Xiaoer Dian.

The wealthy businessman's surname is Song. It is said that his ancestors were monks, but later on, the talent in his family was not as good as that of the previous generation, and in the end they all became ordinary people.

The rich merchant of Song Dynasty was a good man, he was willing to do good, and was loved by the people in the city. Although there were no express regulations, he was the master of all matters in the city.

"Master Song has only one daughter under his knees. Over the past few years, he has been worried about his daughter's marriage. He thought that he could see the continuation of the incense before he was old. It's a pity that this Miss Song has eyes above the top. Many famous families in the city She can't even look down on some young masters, even some disciples of the immortal sect."

Along the way, the waiter in the shop chattered about, shaking off Master Song's family fortune. Xie Shuci looked at him more and more strangely, wondering if he knew exactly how many times Master Song urinated at night .

Not long after, the waiter from the shop sent them to the door of the Song Mansion, explained his identities and intentions to the servant, and left.

As soon as the servant heard that they were friends of Daoist Xu, he hurriedly led them in. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, cultivators have a very high status.

Master Song is a wealthy businessman. There are countless antique vases and famous paintings in his house. The mansion covers a very large area. The servant led them through several winding corridors and several rock gardens before entering In a courtyard.

Xie Shuci and the two were still outside the door, when they heard a vague conversation coming from inside.

"Master Song, it's about the safety of the people in the city, please lend me the files of the clan to check."

Xie Shuci followed the young man through the door and saw Xu Sizheng bowing and cupping his fists, saying to a man in front of him wearing gold and silver with a pot belly.

The man stroked his chubby belly, opened his mouth to reveal his two gold teeth, and said with a smile, "Where is the Taoist chief? As long as the Taoist chief wants to read any other files, so what if I, Song, give it to you? But if you want The dossier I read was left by an ancestor of Song, which records the development history of my Song family, how to get to the present step by step, you say this... isn't this embarrassing me?"

Si Kongxin and Liu Dazhuang were sitting on the side. Liu Dazhuang was a blaster, and if he disagreed with him, he would pull the ax from his waist. At worst, if you grab it, you can change it back! Anyway, no one in the cultivation world knew their identities.

Before he could put his thoughts into action, Si Kongxin stared back at him.

Just as Xie Shuci and the two walked in, Boss Song looked at the two of them when he heard the voice.

After seeing Xie Shuci and Xie Shuci, Boss Song's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Xu Si: "These two... are also disciples of the Xu family?"

Xu Sidao: "These two are fellow Taoists passing through this place. They heard that there are ghosts and ghosts in the city, so they came to help Xu."

"Master Song, I'm thanking Shuci. This is my brother Xie An." Xie Shuci stepped forward and said.

Master Song narrowed his eyes and looked at them, "Okay, okay."

Afterwards, he changed the subject and said: "That file is a secret of my Song family, if you must read it, it's not impossible."

As soon as Xu Si heard that there was hope, he immediately asked, "What are the conditions?"

Master Song stroked his beard with a smile, and his loving eyes moved behind Xie Shuci and Xie An, making Xie Shuci tremble with fear.

"If you want to read the files of our Song family, you must be a member of the Song family."

"how do I say this?"

"Marry my daughter and become the door-to-door son-in-law of my Song family. Not to mention a file, even the entire Song family, I can hand it over."

Hearing this, Liu Dazhuang slapped the table fiercely, "Stop talking, it's a deal! I'll make a sacrifice today!"

Master Song: "..."

no... i didn't mean that...
