Lin Qingbai and the others looked at the ghost.

He Fangling next to him opened his mouth, and was about to speak to the ghost: "You..."

Before the words could be spoken, there was a sudden burst of shouting and noise in the distance.

"Someone broke into the palace!!!"

"There it is!"

"I just heard them in the garden!"

"The king has ordered that the princess's wedding will be the day after tomorrow, everyone must ensure the safety of the princess! There must be no mistakes! Hurry up!!!"

These sounds were heard suddenly, and then the light of the torch suddenly lit up from the dark night.

Those fire spots circled around the periphery of the barrier, and they were about to approach them in this direction.

However, looking around at this time removed the barrier, and there was no other place to go.

Xiao Qi's hands slowly condensed the killing light, ready to kill when the soldiers arrive at any time, but at this time the ghost in the distance glanced at them again, turned around and floated forward.

Lin Qingbai frowned looking at the ghost's back, and suddenly a premonition rose from his heart.

This ghost is to take them away from danger.

Lin Qingbai raised his hand to stop Xiao Qi's movement, and said in a deep voice, "Follow him."

Xiao Qi is not a character who trusts people easily. He turned around and looked at Lin Qingbai, and asked, "Why did you follow him? What if he leads us into a trap?"

It is indeed possible.

Lin Qingbai looked up at Xiao Qi and said, "Do you have a better way? No matter what, it's better than causing turmoil in the ghost clan."

Xiao Qi's eyes sank and he had nothing to say.

Even Xiao Qi didn't refute, the others naturally followed the ghost and walked forward.

Ghosts do seem to be leading the way for them.

He led Lin Qingbai and the others straight forward, bypassing a small forest, and took a very remote road.

Xiao Qi really didn't believe in that ghost. Although he followed along all the way, he kept looking at the ghost walking ahead vigilantly, as vigilant as a falcon, with sharp eyes.

Lin Qingbai has no doubts at all, as long as there is any change in the person in front, Xiao Qi will directly raise his palm and slap him out of his wits.

"I used to think that Mr. Fu was vigilant and never trusted others casually. I didn't expect that now he would trust a person from the ghost clan who I only met once, and entrusted everyone's life to him. It really opened my eyes."

Xiao Qi said this in a mocking tone.

Lin Qingbai knew what Xiao Qi meant.

It was nothing more than teasing Lin Qingbai, Xiao Qi had saved him so many times, but Lin Qingbai had never believed him, but now he could trust a ghost clan member for no reason.

Anyone who sees this will inevitably feel upset.

Lin Qingbai didn't respond, and felt that he was really bold.

The ghost didn't say a word, just glanced at them, and Lin Qingbai actually believed him.

Not by intersection, not by words, just because Lin Qingbai thinks he is credible.

In this way, after walking behind the ghost for a short time, the ghost stopped.

Several people looked up again and found that they were still outside the barrier, but they had moved from the front of the princess courtyard to a position slightly to the right.

This place is closer to the princess, and the princess's every move can be seen more clearly from the side.

He Fangling whispered from the side: "Good boy, this is guarding the princess's door every day. Wherever the line of sight is good, you can feel it clearly..."

Xiao Qi has always been impatient, and now he was even more impatient, he stepped forward to stop the ghost, and asked him: "Is this where you brought us?"

The ghost turned around and looked at Xiao Qi with his eyes motionless.

Xiao Qi took a deep breath, raised his hand and condensed a stream of mana to kill the person who dared to lie to him.

At this time, Lin Qingbai said in a cold voice: "The road he led is not wrong, look there."

Several people looked along Lin Qingbai's fingers, and saw

See some abnormalities at the enchantment.

For some reason, the barrier on Lin Qingbai's finger is much thinner than the barriers at other locations.

The other barriers are all black, only here is a thin light gray, as if a layer of soft film has been laid on the hole in the barrier to cover up the fact that a piece is broken here.

Xiao Qi was also taken aback looking at that position.

He raised his hand and used a bit of spiritual power to poke on the soft membrane, and the soft membrane suddenly disappeared for a short time, but when Xiao Qi removed the spiritual power from his hand, the soft membrane on the barrier reappeared instantly.

The location of this place is extremely hidden, and the color of the soft membrane is not much different from other places. If the ghosts did not guide them here, even if they circled the barrier seventy or eighty times, they would not be able to find the place.strange.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Xiao Qi raised his hand to condense a stream of mana, and was about to completely open the soft membrane of the barrier.

However, the moment Xiao Qi waved his hand, the ghost suddenly blocked him.

The sudden change made everyone startled.

However, Xiao Qi's eyes were sharp, and he didn't stop the strength of the attack in his hand. He wanted to pass the magic power directly through the ghost's body, and hit it straight out.

The ghost was left with only a soul, if Xiao Qi swung his palm down, he would turn into smoke.

But what was even more puzzling was that the ghost didn't even hide, but just looked at Xiao Qi, as if willing to bear the shattering blow.

"Xiao Qi!"

Lin Qingbai was startled, raised his hand and swung out a wave of magic power, opening the magic power in Xiao Qi's hand.

That ray of white light hit Xiao Qi's wrist directly, and swung his arm aside, Xiao Qi froze for a moment, then looked down at his wrist.

Lin Qingbai did not attack lightly, and directly punched a bloodstain on Xiao Qi's wrist.

Xiao Qi's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his hands, his sleeves covered his wounds, but his hands were clenched into fists by his side, and he glared at Lin Qingbai.

Lin Qingbai was also angry, looking back at Xiao Qi with sharp eyes.

There was silence all around, only the panting of the crowd.

Lin Qingbai sometimes felt that Xiao Qi was very unreasonable.

It is said that he is cruel and ruthless, and treats human life like nothing, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

In the enchantment, he walked with Lin Qingbai and his party. Although they didn't trust each other and tested each other, he was still willing to rescue them when they were in danger.

But sometimes he is like a sharp knife, full of murderous aura, as if he wants to kill all the people who approach him.

Don't say that he has the common people in his heart, he doesn't even have pity in his heart.

When the ghost clan met for the first time, just because a ghost clan member stole his things, he was about to throw him to death in public.

But now, this ghost didn't offend him at all, and even helped them, but it just blocked the place where his mana was swaying, but he didn't restrain himself in the slightest, and even wanted to slap it to ashes.

Lin Qingbai's chest heaved twice, and he said to Xiao Qi in a hoarse voice: "Young Master Xiao, I hope you can stop in moderation..."

Xiao Qi looked at Lin Qingbai like a sword, and said in a colder voice: "Mr. Fu, what's wrong with me? I don't understand what you said."

Lin Qingbai suddenly felt exhausted.

In fact, he realized more than once that he and Xiao Qi were not the same.

But this time it only made Lin Qingbai realize this more deeply.

The two people's ideas do not agree, saying anything is nothing but increasing disputes, which is meaningless.

Lin Qingbai ignored him, turned around and looked at the ghost.

The ghost couldn't speak, and still stood in front of Xiao Qi, looking at Xiao Qi with motionless eyes, as if he wanted to say something.

Lin Qingbai stepped forward and asked him, "Do you have something to tell us?"

Ghost nodded.

Lin Qingbai thought for a while, raised his fingertips to glow with white light, and drew a slender line, and then the line fell gently, turning into a branch and falling into Lin Qingbai's palm.

That branch is not an ordinary branch, but a psychic branch.

The psychic branch is specially used for communication between people and ghosts.

Ghosts cannot speak, cannot express their thoughts, let alone communicate with humans.

Just put the psychic branch on the ghost's head, and hold the other end in the hand of the person who wants to communicate, and the person can see what the ghost is thinking, and thus know what the ghost wants to say.

The branch was glowing with green light, Lin Qingbai's thin white fingers were holding the psychic branch tightly, and was about to put the psychic branch on the ghost's forehead to channel the psychic for him, but the ghost took a step back, hidingOpened the psychic branch in Lin Qingbai's hand.

Lin Qingbai's hands stopped in the air, not understanding what this person meant, and asked, "You don't want to channel spirits?"

The ghost shook his head at Lin Qingbai, then turned to look at Xiao Qi.

That's what it means to be psychic.

Lin Qingbai thought for a while, looked at the ghost's eyes looking at Xiao Qi, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and asked tentatively: "You don't want me to give you a psychic?"

Ghost nodded.

Lin Qingbai pointed at Xiao Qi with the psychic branch in his hand, and asked step by step: "Do you want him to give you a psychic?"

The ghost nodded again.

Lin Qingbai understood, turned around and handed the psychic branch in his hand to Xiao Qi, saying, "He wants you to psychic him."

Xiao Qiyuan is not as easy to talk to as Lin Qingbai, not to mention that he just got upset with Lin Qingbai just now.

Now he is standing under the shadow of the big tree, looking at Lin Qingbai with serious eyes, and said calmly: "Didn't Mr. Fu just want me to stop in moderation? For such a trivial matter as psychic, you can do it yourself..”

"...."

Lin Qingbai took a deep breath and said, "He wants you to come."

Xiao Qi sneered, "It's just a ghost... I don't have as many idle thoughts as Mr. Fu, and I can't control so many people. What does his ghost's wishes have to do with me? Waste of time.”

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he took two steps forward, and was about to swing his mana again to hit the barrier.

I saw the crimson blood in his hand streaking across the night sky. At this moment, Lin Qingbai took advantage of his unpreparedness and raised his hand to ignite a silver light. With both fingers, he fiercely touched the Dingshen point on the back of Xiao Qi's neck.

Xiao Qi was not wary of Lin Qingbai, and just stayed where he was.

"Master..."

"you......."

Along the way, several people almost understood each other's character.

Xiao Qi's character is a bit extreme, if someone else owes me an inch, he will retaliate.

Every penny must be compared.

It's okay to be a companion, but don't mess with him.

But now, Lin Qingbai stopped him without saying a word.

They couldn't imagine how they would react if they waited until Xiao Qi relieved the acupoints.

I'm afraid they will blow up the whole palace despite being in the ghost king's palace now.

Everyone on this side broke into a cold sweat, while Lin Qingbai on the other side had the same expression, as if he just ordered a cat or a dog, without any reaction.

He ignored the rage that wanted to kill him in Xiao Qi's eyes, but put the psychic branch into Xiao Qi's hand that was hanging in the air, and then stepped aside, the ghost floated to Xiao Qi's body actively, andHis head touched the psychic branch in Xiao Qi's hand.

A beam of green light suddenly appeared at the head and tail of the psychic branch.

The ghost slowly closed its eyes, only to see a few beams of green light emerging from the ghost's head like vines, entwined with the ganoderma lucidum, and entering Xiao Qi's palm little by little.

The green light is getting brighter and brighter, and it is going faster and faster.

Xiao Qi's eyes trembled suddenly, and then the anger in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and his eyes gradually closed.

At this time, he had already entered the ghost's consciousness, experiencing what the ghost had experienced, and listening to what the ghost wanted to say to him.

The other people couldn't see what the two of them were communicating, they could only see Xiao Qi frowning a little bit, and the hand holding the psychic branch began to tremble faintly.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and the mana in his body burst out suddenly, and he broke free from Lin Qingbai's Dingshen point.

The crimson light flashed suddenly, and Lin Qingbai who was standing beside him felt a gust of wind blowing, and the flying sand was suddenly rolled up. Everyone raised their hands to cover their eyes and block the wind and sand.

But Xiao Qi seemed to have been hit by some kind of violent shock. He threw himself forward, half-kneeling on the ground, propped up with one hand, his chest was heaving and gasping for breath, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Everyone froze in place, not knowing what happened, let alone what Xiao Qi saw.

Why would there be such a reaction just by looking at the ghost's consciousness?

You must know that during the days when they met Xiao Qi, even if Xiao Qi was in danger, everyone would panic, but he wouldn't.

But now, what exactly did he see in his spiritual consciousness, he was so shocked that he would break free from the fixed body point that Lin Qingbai had set for him.

At this time, the ghost slowly opened its eyes.

Although his eyes had no pupils, they also contained countless pains. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi who was lying in front of him. He took a step back and bent down to help Xiao Qi, but his hands wereWhen touching Xiao Qi's shoulder, he suddenly passed through him.

He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and looked at his illusory hands slowly, feeling a little helpless suddenly.

He is like fog now.

Can't touch anything, can't speak anything...

Want to express, want to speak, but still need someone to point the psychic stick to his head.

Finally, with both hands hanging by his side, the ghost actually knelt on one knee and knelt in front of Xiao Qi, making a gesture of bowing his hands and saluting.

This gesture is usually a respect for asking for help, and it is also the etiquette for soldiers to salute their superiors.

Everyone thought that the action of the ghost was the first case, so they didn't think much about it, but instead focused their eyes on Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and calmed down after a while.

He stood up slowly, looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Get up."

The ghost stood up, looking directly at Xiao Qi with a pair of stern eyes.

Holding the psychic branch tightly in his hand, Xiao Qi raised it in front of him and asked, "Do you want her to see it?"

Ghost nodded.

Xiao Qi asked again: "What if she doesn't forgive?"

The ghost's eyes were in a daze for a moment, but it was only for a moment, but he still looked at Xiao Qi fixedly, his eyes stubborn and motionless.

Knowing his answer, Xiao Qi raised his hand habitually to pat him on the shoulder, but his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Xiao Qi paused, but still pretended to be the same as usual, patted the air twice, and said, "I see."

The ghost moved away from Xiao Qi's body, and Xiao Qi opened the barrier without hindrance this time.

Seeing a ray of red light, the membrane of the barrier disappeared briefly, and several people walked into the barrier one by one.

But the ghost just stood outside the barrier, watching them walk in, motionless.

After Xiao Qi struggled away from Lin Qingbai's acupuncture, he unexpectedly didn't care about Lin Qingbai's acupuncture, or maybe he didn't have the heart to care about it.

His face was even colder than before, as if covered with a layer of frost.

Even though everyone was curious about what Xiao Qi saw during the psychic channeling, no one dared to step forward and ask him.

"Isn't he coming in?"

Mo Yuluo was standing a little far away from Xiao Qi. He didn't see the frosty expression on Xiao Qi's face, so he subconsciously asked.

"He won't come in." Xiao Qi said.

"Why?"

Xiao Qi suddenly stopped in his tracks, the chill on his body seemed to be a few layers heavier, Lin Qingbai stood beside him, and immediately became vigilant, staring at his side face, beware of any sudden injury from him.People's affairs come.

Xiao Qi just turned his head, looking at Mo Yuluo with dark eyes.

Mo Yuluo's age is actually not much younger than Xiao Qi's, but when the two of them looked at each other, Mo Yuluo was still like a child. When he saw Xiao Qi's sharp eyes, he immediately shrank his neck in fright.dare to talk more

up.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi responded to Mo Yuluo, and he said in a deep voice: "He is a ghost, and he will be lost when he enters the barrier."

Mo Yuluo lowered his head, said hello, and followed behind Lin Qingbai without speaking.

Xiao Qi glanced at Lin Qingbai again, then turned around and continued walking forward.

When several people walked into the courtyard, the princess had already seen them.

She sat up a little bit by the window, didn't call anyone, just frowned slightly and stared intently at the visitor.

Lin Qingbai thought for a while, and said to the people behind him: "Qiang Man and I go to the courtyard together, and the rest of the people stand here and are not allowed to enter."

He Fangleng also wanted to follow up, but as soon as he called out to his brother, he was beaten back by Lin Qingbai's sharp eyes.

The reason why Lin Qingbai asked Liang Yaochu to follow was very simple. The princess was alone in the boudoir, so it was inappropriate for a group of men to go there rashly, for fear of scaring people.

And taking Liang Yaochu to go, it is easier for women to let go of their guard and communicate better.

So the three of them walked together to the princess's palace, until they reached the princess's window.

The princess leaned on the window sill with one hand, looked at the uninvited guests, and asked without panic, "Who are you?"

Liang Yaochu bowed to the princess, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, my lord Qiangman, this is Fu Mu, this is Xiao Qi, we have something important to look for the princess today, and we entered the princess' palace without waiting for the notification.Princess forgive me."

The princess raised her head, her almond eyes slowly swept over everyone.

Even if a stranger entered the palace room, she didn't panic at all, and said, "Then what?"

Liang Yaochu has always been a straightforward person, but this is the first time she has met a ghost princess.

Whether they can have a good relationship with the ghost princess is related to whether they can get clues about the ghost volcano from the princess.

So it was rare for her to seriously think about how to say the next sentence. At this time, Xiao Qi directly handed the psychic branch in front of the princess, and said directly: "Hold it."

The princess looked down at the branch, and lightly tapped the window sill with her finger. She looked at it for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Qi.

The eyes, which were supposed to be flowing with aura, were as motionless as a puddle of stagnant water.

She asked softly, "What is this?"

Xiao Qi didn't explain too much, just said: "Hold it, you can see the person you want to see the most."

The princess paused for a moment, then she laughed, as if she had heard a joke, looked up at Xiao Qi and said, "Do you know what I want to see?"

Xiao Qi said to her, "I know."

Xiao Qi's gaze was so determined that the princess was in a daze when looking into his dark eyes, and then smiled again.

She looks good when she smiles, but she is like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water. Although she is beautiful, her smile does not catch the eye. She always feels sadder than crying.

The princess looked at the psychic branch, without any further hesitation, she held the psychic branch with her hand and closed her eyes.

The green light on the psychic branch rose again, spreading and winding along the branch, until it reached the princess' palm.

The princess also saw the scene in the psychic branch, and there was no smile on her face for a moment, and she held the psychic branch forcefully with her hand, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it away, her knuckles turned white and her wrist trembled.

After a long time, the light on the psychic branch gradually faded until it finally disappeared completely.

The princess did not open her eyes for a long time.

"Princess..." Liang Yaochu called her softly.

The princess opened her eyes as if waking up from a dream, but still looked down at the psychic branch in Xiao Qi's hand. She was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled with red eyes, raised her head and looked at Xiao Qi with smiling teary eyes and said: "Young Master Xiao, this is not a good memory for me..."

"..."

The princess asked again: "...where is he?"

Xiao Qi pointed in the direction of the ghost in the distance.

The Lord looked along the position of Xiao Qi's finger, and saw a person standing far away.

In fact, he can't even be called a human being, but just a ghost of the lowest level in their ghost clan, without even a physical body.

But even so, he still stood upright, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and when he looked at her, it seemed that there were still thousands of troops standing behind him, and he was still the young man wearing a battle armor and fresh clothes and angry horses.

The princess just glanced twice, then lowered her eyes, raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Please tell him, I'm fine now, and he doesn't need to worry about it."

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "He couldn't help himself at the time."

"Involuntary..."

The princess repeated this sentence in a low voice, and said with a smile: "Who can't help themselves......"

"...."

"I understand that he couldn't help himself. He just approached with the purpose of betrayal from the very beginning. No matter how the process is, no matter what the result is, it is destined to be wrong."

After the princess finished speaking, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Xiao Qi, and asked softly, "Am I right, Mr. Xiao?"

The princess's words faded into the misty, but like a boulder thrown into the lake, it suddenly caused huge waves.

Xiao Qi was taken aback, even Lin Qingbai's pupils constricted, his voice was dry, and he froze.

yes.

No matter what kind of involuntary, no matter how involuntary, cheating is cheating, betrayal is betrayal.

From the beginning, approaching with the purpose of betrayal, no matter how the process is, no matter what the result is, it is destined to be wrong...

It's all wrong...

Lin Qingbai's Adam's apple rolled, and he clenched his sleeves tightly.

The princess's words were clearly not talking about him, but they made him penetrate into the situation, as if every word came from his heart, so that his whole body was cold, and his heart began to ache again.

Xiao Qi didn't answer the princess' question, but turned around suddenly and left.

He walked so fast that he didn't even take the psychic branch in the princess's hand.

The wind blew the hem of his clothes lightly. He Fangleng and the others saw that he was gone, and immediately walked up to him, asking some questions, but he ignored them, without even pausing, the tall figure graduallyhid in darkness.

Xiao Qi's character has always been like this, he comes as he comes, and goes as he goes, never giving anyone any room for maneuver.

Lin Qingbai got used to it, and Liang Yaochu got used to it too.

It was just right for him to leave, Lin Qingbai didn't need to hide anything.

So Lin Qingbai collected himself and asked the princess directly: "Princess, Fu has something else to ask."

"Say it."

"Princess, do you know where the ghost volcano of the ghost tribe is?"

The princess was not at all surprised when she heard this question, and said softly, "I'm just the most humble princess among the ghost clan, and I don't deserve to know."

When Lin Qingbai heard these words, her heart sank involuntarily.

Time is running out, if the entire ghost clan can't get news from the princess, it's really impossible.

Lin Qingbai didn't say anything more, and was about to say goodbye to the princess, but she heard another sentence from the princess: "But one person may know."

Lin Qingbai immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"In the painting boat on the easternmost side of the ghost town, I'm looking for a painter who has lost his left hand. He is the know-it-all of our ghost clan. Not to mention the affairs of the fairy world, he knows everything even in the three realms."

The princess's words seemed to ignite sparks in the dark night, Lin Qingbai cupped his hands and thanked the princess: "Thank you princess for your guidance."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank him. It's hard to get him to speak. He can't answer everyone's questions."

"How about that?"

The princess raised her hand unhurriedly, opened the drawer of the table in front of her with her white fingertips, and took out a jade stone glowing blue from it.

The piece of jade was clean and flawless, as smooth as a pebble, without any engraved patterns.

The princess put this piece of jade in Lin Qingbai's palm and said, "Give this to him, and he will answer your question."

Lin Qingbai

He took the jade and thanked the princess again.

But the princess waved her hand, and handed Lin Qingbai the psychic branch that she had been holding tightly in her hand.

Lin Qingbai said: "If the princess is still reluctant to part with the things in the psychic branch, I can give the psychic branch to the princess, and the princess can always remember."

"Reminiscing from time to time? I want to reminisce from time to time..." The princess seemed a little tired, and said, "Take it away... even the best memories are just memories, and keeping them will onlyIt just adds to the sadness."

Lin Qingbai loosened his clenched hands, took the psychic branch, and after bidding farewell to the princess with Liang Yaochu, he turned and left.

However, after they took two steps, the princess suddenly stopped him again.

"Fu Mu."

Lin Qingbai turned around and looked at the princess.

The princess's face was reflected in the warm candlelight on the table, and the corners of her eyes were still red, she looked at him and said, "I forgot to tell you, my token can only be used once, and you can only ask one question."

"...."

"Remember, you only have one chance to ask the most important question in your heart."
