Liang Yaochu stood on the steps, looking at Xiao Qi.

Tonight's night is too dark, Xiao Qi's eyebrows and eyes are sharp, and Liang Yao stands above the inn in the darkness, neither walks nor speaks, just looks at him without saying a word.

Holding the sword in his arms, Xiao Qi also stared at Liang Yaochu like an eagle.

He lifted his feet and walked, walking from outside the inn to the steps.

However, when he stepped up the steps step by step, he suddenly stopped.

The closer the distance was, the more he saw Liang Yaochu's eyes looking at him more clearly, which was exactly the same as Lin Qingbai's eyes looking at him at noon.

The eyes are deep, but there is an unspeakable gap, as if he has already seen through him.

This kind of gaze is very different from the gaze they usually look at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi frowned and asked, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Why did you just look at him like this all morning?

Liang Yaochu didn't answer Xiao Qi's words, but turned around and was about to go back to her room.

Xiao Qi stepped forward with two big strides, grabbed Liang Yaochu's wrist, and pulled Liang Yaochu back violently.

The strength in his hand was so strong that it almost crushed Liang Yaochu's arm.

"I ask why you look at me like this?!"

Xiao Qi was made more and more irritable by their attitude, and asked her with a suppressed voice.

Liang Yaochu turned around and looked at Xiao Qi closely.

Looking at it this way, it really is exactly the same as Xi An.

The tyranny of the whole body when angry, the stubbornness of grasping a question and not letting it go, and the cruelty of killing people without getting the answer, the brain is abnormal like a lunatic.

Liang Yaochu has experienced Xi An's madness too many times in the mortal world. If others face Xiao Qi's anger, they may be timid and afraid, but she is used to it.

Liang Yaochu took two deep breaths, calmed down the turbulent emotions in her chest, just like before, when she raised her eyes, her eyes were full of disdain for Xiao Qi, she said with a light smile: "Mr.Do you want to take care of it? Don’t you think you take care of it too much?”

After finishing speaking, Liang Yaochu raised his hand and a ray of purple light hit Xiao Qi on the back of his hand.

Xiao Qi was caught off guard, and suddenly let go of Liang Yaochu's hand, Liang Yaochu turned around and walked quickly towards her room.

Xiao Qi's eyes darkened, and a blood-red killing light condensed between his index fingers. The red light was shaped like a flying knife. Xiao Qi flicked his wrist, and the flying knife flew a red light in the air, directly hitting Liang Yaochu's body.Go away with the heart.

Liang Yaochu froze and turned around to avoid Xiao Qi's blow.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Xiao Qi raised his hand and there was a red light, Liang Yaochu's body swayed, and he was sucked into his palm uncontrollably.

Xiao Qi tightened his five fingers in an instant, grabbed Liang Yaochu's neck, and slammed Liang Yaochu's body against Lin Qingbai's door.

He moved closer and put his thumb against Liang Yaochu's chin, forcing Liang Yaochu to look up at him.

Xiao Qi's eyes were like eagles, sizing up Liang Yaochu's face inch by inch, as if he wanted to see through Liang Yaochu's mind.

He lowered his voice and asked, "You haven't answered me yet.......Why do you look at me like this? Why do you come out of Fu Mu's room at night? What is the relationship between you two?"

While speaking, the strength in Xiao Qi's hands became heavier and heavier, as if threatening Liang Yaochu to answer.

Liang Yaochu's face turned red when Xiao Qi pinched her, and her chest was breathing unevenly. She opened her mouth slightly and gasped softly, but she still didn't have soft eyes. She looked at Xiao Qi with a smile, and said in a difficult voice: "I want toI can see you how I see you......What is the relationship between me and Fu Mu, do you need to ask me......Mr. Xiao has a jade girl in his arms, and I didn't expect that he would take care of our affairs...."

"you!"

Xiao Qi's eyes were burning with anger, and his hands tightened subconsciously.

Liang Yaochu took a deep breath in an instant, her face turned red and purple, she opened her mouth wide, panting with difficulty, the whites of her eyes were also covered with red blood.

The strength of Xiao Qi's palm was not restrained, while Liang Yao

Chu looked at Xiao Qi with a half-backed gaze.

"Do you think I dare not strangle you?" Xiao Qi said in a low voice.

"I know you dare..." Liang Yaochu said hoarsely, "Hurry up and do it..."

Just as the two were talking about you coming and going, when they were in a stalemate, suddenly a sharp silver light cut out from the crack in the door, and there was a "shua" sound, and the cold light flashed, and cut straight between the two of them.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and the voice of arguing stopped immediately.

The mana blade stayed less than one centimeter above Xiao Qi's wrist, and it could cut off Xiao Qi's hand as long as it went down a little.

Xiao Qi's gaze dimmed, and he lowered his eyes, staring at the cold light motionlessly.

He watched the silver light gradually dissipate, and then he slowly raised his head and looked into the room.

The paper on the door was thin, there were no candles lit in the room, it was pitch black, and there was not even a single sound. This light seemed to fall from the sky.

Taking advantage of Xiao Qi's daze, Liang Yaochu turned around and broke free from Xiao Qi's restraint.

It's not the first time that Xiao Qi has threatened her by choking her neck like this. She was imprisoned by Xi An in the dark basement for dozens of days in the mortal world.

At that time, she was pinched by Xi An even harder than now.

Liang Yaochu raised her hand to caress her neck, sneered at Xiao Qi, and cursed in a low voice: "Crazy..."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care if Xiao Qi would still go crazy, or if she would drag her back and strangle her to death, but returned to her door in a flash, walked into the room, and there was a loud bang.closed the door.

Xiao Qi was still standing outside Lin Qingbai's door, the hands that were pinching Liang Yaochu slowly dropped down, staring at the darkness inside the door motionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the woman in black behind him came forward, and just about to call out to the king, she stopped her voice and called out in a low voice, "Brother Xiao Qi."

Xiao Qi froze, lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.

He felt very strange.

Just like what Qiang Man said, she and Fu Mu were in the same room just now, so what does it have to do with him?

He and Fu Mu's group had only known each other for a few days, and they were not even considered friends.

Even if they are lovers, so what?

What's his question?

He never likes to meddle in other people's business, why did he ask just now?

Xiao Qi thought for a while, and felt that Qiang Man's disdainful attitude should have stabbed him just now, that's why he clings to this question and doesn't let it go.

Xiao Qi thought so, but the gaze in his eyes did not slow down.

He raised his hand and pulled Fang Hua behind him to the front, wrapping his arms around Fang Hua's shoulders.

Fanghua's body froze, not knowing what the king meant, she didn't dare to move her hands, for fear of offending.

Xiao Qi hugged her, but turned his face to the door. He didn't even look at her, but asked her softly: "Fanghua, do you like the jade pendant I gave you today?"

Fang Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded with a smile: "I like it, I like everything Brother Xiao Qi gives me."

Xiao Qi laughed and said, "When we get married, I can give you any jade pendant you want."

"Okay." Fang Hua replied with a smile.

After saying these words, for some reason Xiao Qi's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Those stupid questions that I asked myself just now were all saved by these words.

The voice outside the door was very clear.

Sitting in the room, Lin Qingbai heard all these words in his heart.

He looked at the dark door, motionless.

It wasn't until the footsteps outside the house gradually went away that no other voices could be heard anymore, Lin Qingbai lowered his eyes.

He looked around blankly, feeling that the surroundings were empty, dark and cold.

He raised his hand and ignited a mana to ignite the stove in front of him again.

The medicine Liangyao Chu prepared was indeed very useful. After Lin Qingbai drank a bowl of medicine, the mana in his body recovered by about 50%.

It won't be a big move, but it's still possible to swipe a kill light and light a stove.

He just extinguished the fire just now, just to let Liang Yaochu go out of his room with peace of mind, so that he can be alone for a while.

But he didn't think that the silence was okay, and he heard the hurtful words Xiao Qi said again.

I slept for a long time in the afternoon, and now I am not sleepy at all. Lin Qingbai raised his hand and took out a white jade pendant from his skirt.

Just now when heard Xiao Qi mention the jade pendant, thought of the jade pendant he gave him.

The jade pendant had a warm luster under the firelight, and the jade body was cold, but when Lin Qingbai held it in his palm, it was as cold as his palm.

This is the jade pendant that Lin Qingbai once gave to Xi An, and it is the amulet he begged for Xi An after kneeling in the temple for half a month.

At that time, he also deliberately brought this jade pendant back from the mortal world, and then carried the jade pendant with him from time to time, which can be regarded as missing that person.

And now...

Lin Qingbai suddenly realized that perhaps only he was the only one who took all kinds of things in the mortal world seriously, and only he was the only one who cared.

It is impossible for Xi An to take these things to heart.

Their twelve years were just a stepping stone for a heartless and heartless person like Yan Qiusi.

Lin Qingbai looked at the stove rising slowly in front of him, and slowly raised his clenched hand and put it on the stove. When he let go of his hand, the red thread was tied to his index finger, and the jade wobbled and fell into the brazier.

Jade is like snow and fire like light, shining crystal clear.

Lin Qingbai tilted his head, staring at the stone in front of him without blinking.

Until the fire burned to the silk thread on the edge of the jade, there was a sizzling sound.

Lin Qingbai's body straightened up abruptly, and he suddenly panicked.

The fire had already burned to the edge of the jade, and Lin Qingbai couldn't find any water for a while, so he held the burning jade tightly in his hand.

The sparks were hot, burning Lin Qingbai's tender palm.

A burst of sharp pain hit, Lin Qingbai suddenly woke up, he bit his lower lip in pain, his eyes turned red instantly, but he didn't let go of the hand holding Yushi tightly.

It wasn't until the fire on the jade was extinguished by Lin Qingbai's palm, and the biting pain gradually became numb, that Lin Qingbai let go of his hand little by little.

His fingertips are slender, and although there are thin calluses from holding weapons all year round between his fingers, the palm is white and delicate.

Now the delicate skin of the palm was cracked by the flesh from the fire, and burn blisters were also ignited in some places, which looked very tragic.

Lin Qingbai didn't care about these at all, he stroked the jade pendant with his fingertips, and checked the jade pendant carefully, but found a burn mark on the back of the jade pendant.

The trace was burnt yellow, and burned the corners of the Buddha statue on the jade pendant.

Lin Qingbai froze for a moment, and tapped the scorched spot with trembling fingers, but it didn't work...

Lin Qingbai quickly dipped his tea again, and wiped the imprint on the jade very vigorously.

Finally, he slowly lowered his hand, held the jade in his palm, leaned back, leaned his head against the bed behind him, and stared aimlessly at the ceiling.

He could no longer feel the pain, as if his heart had been drained of flesh and blood, leaving only an empty shell beating.

He suddenly felt that something he said was true.

Seriously.

Those who are sincere will be guilty of their own crimes.

The second day is the wedding day of the princess of the ghost clan, a grand ceremony for the entire ghost clan.

Liang Yaochu and his party got up early in the morning, and were in the inn preparing to go to watch the ceremony.

They were thinking that Lin Qingbai was unwell yesterday, so they didn't intend to call Lin Qingbai.

But unexpectedly, during breakfast, Lin Qingbai pushed open the door and walked out.

Mo Yuluo was still holding half a big bun in his hand. When he saw the door of his master's room open, he paused for a moment, and immediately stuffed the rest of the bun into his mouth.After chewing twice, swallowing two more mouthfuls of soy milk, he ran up to Lin Qingbai and asked, "Master,

Are you feeling better?"

Lin Qingbai stood on the second floor, looking around downstairs indifferently.

Today, 70% of the people in the ghost town are going to attend the wedding ceremony of the princess, so many people have breakfast in the inn.

Just not seeing that person alone.

Lin Qingbai felt relieved and stepped downstairs.

His face was still pale, but it was much better than yesterday.

Lin Qingbai gave a faint acknowledgment, walked down the steps, and walked to the dining table.

Xuanche immediately pushed the untouched breakfast to Lin Qingbai.

Having no appetite in the morning, Lin Qingbai took a bowl of porridge and drank it spoonful by spoonful.

Lin Qingbai's body is still very weak, but he thought that the princess had done him a great favor, and he had to go to the princess' wedding ceremony today.

"Brother, we will go to watch the princess' wedding ceremony later, do you want to go with us?"

Lin Qingbai thanked him again.

He Fangling said: "It is said that the princess's wedding will take a long time. If you want to watch it from the beginning, it will probably take two hours. Senior brother, eat more, and you still have to stand in the morning."

Lin Qingbai didn't speak any more.

He Fangleng and Mo Yuluo were discussing the wedding ceremony there.

"Uncle, after I came to the ghost clan, I always heard people mention the faceless elder, saying how powerful he is, but I haven't seen what he looks like until now? Have you ever seen him? Is heReally faceless?"

He Fangleng said: "It's also my first time to come to Guizu. My master once came to Guizu once, but at that time there were no faceless elders. This is also the first time I heard this name.The face... is really strange."

After He Fangling finished his meal, he took out a folding fan from his sleeve, fanned it up and down, and continued with a frown: "However, I'm also very curious as to who is able to hold the king of the ghost clan under him."In his hands, let him keep his own daughter by his side for many years, just to give him as his wife in the end..."

With that said, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

"Uncle, will we be able to see the faceless elder when we go to the wedding ceremony later?"

"His own wedding ceremony, he must attend it. According to me, nearly 80% of the people who went to the wedding ceremony this time went to see the faceless elder, and many people rushed to the wedding ceremony early in the morning.He took a good seat, you see Xiao Qi left this early in the morning, he must have grabbed the front row."

Hearing the word Xiao Qi, Liang Yaochu paused for a moment, silently raising her eyes to observe Lin Qingbai's expression.

Seeing that Lin Qingbai was fine, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Several people finished their breakfast and were ready to go on the road.

The team for this wedding ceremony started directly from the ghost clan's palace, passed through the ghost clan's main street, and reached the cliff above the Moyuan River. The faceless elder and the ghost clan princess held the wedding ceremony in the eyes of everyone.

At that time, everyone can see this grand ceremony, and everyone congratulates.

In the ghost town, the people who watched the wedding ceremony of the ghost princess were divided into two groups.

One group of people went directly to the Moyuan River to grab a good position, and the other group wanted to go around the city with the wedding team.

It is said that when they arrive at the Moyuan River, the ghost king will still deliver precious jewels and belongings like last time, so about 90% of the people are carrying big boxes and bags that can hold things, and some even bring carriages to go there early in the morning.Mo Yuanhe grabbed the front position, wanting to grab more and better treasures.

In contrast, there are many fewer people following the wedding team.

"Brother, should we go to the Moyuan River now or to see the wedding team?" He Fangleng asked.

Lin Qingbai thought for a while and said, "Follow the wedding team."

They didn't care about the treasures that were sprinkled on the Moyuan River, and since there were few people following the wedding team, they might be able to get closer to the princess.

If the princess doesn't want to marry at that time, or if something happens, Lin Qingbai can help, which can be regarded as repaying the princess' kindness.

With Lin Qingbai's words, several people waited on the main road.

There are not many people on the road, only some standing on the road in advance

Ghost soldiers who protect order.

Lin Qingbai and the others easily stood at the front of the road.

This road is the first main road that the wedding team passes through when they enter the ghost town.

According to the plan of the wedding ceremony, the Maoshi wedding team will take the princess to set off from the ghost palace, and when they arrive at this road, it will be Chenshi.

Lin Qingbai and the others didn't come early, they stood where they were and didn't wait for a while before they saw the wedding team approaching from the end of the road.

It was so dark that it floated like a dark cloud.

In that piece of blackness, there is a huge black shadow in the shape of a tall and big flower bud in the middle.

Everyone was taken aback looking at that thing.

The joy that resounded in the air was not suona and gongs and drums, but an extremely weird-sounding guqin.

"This...is this, joy?" He Fanglen frowned and said in a low voice, "Their ghost clan's wedding ceremony is really different, just like going to a funeral..."

Lin Qingbai frowned and said nothing.

As the wedding team gradually approached, everyone also saw the lineup of the wedding team clearly.

The wedding team is black and red, and the accompanying soldiers are riding black horses, wearing black clothes, with a red flower around their necks.

The man in the front was wearing a black cloak and a cloak hat, but under the hat was a pale face mask.

A human face was drawn on the mask, with wide-open eyes and a blood-red mouth grinning almost behind the ears.

What's even more frightening is that all the knights beside him are wearing masks, some of which are smiling faces, some are crying faces, and they have all kinds of expressions.

Mo Yuluo trembled in fright, and leaned against Lin Qingbai's back.

Lin Qingbai's eyes were fixed on the approach of the wedding team.

In the whole wedding team, the most conspicuous thing is the black float in the wedding team.

The closer you get, the bigger and more obvious the flower becomes. You need to look up at it, like a lotus flower.

But all the petals are pure black, and the princess is sitting on the pistil, wearing a black red gauze dress, black gold accessories on her head, delicate makeup, but a dull expressionless face.

The team was grand, but Lin Qingbai felt an indescribably weird feeling.

Xuanche looked at the smiling man at the front of the line, and asked He Fangleng, "Uncle, is the person at the front the faceless elder?"

He Fanglen kept staring at that person, thought for a while and said, "According to common sense, the leader of the wedding team must be the groom officer, but..."

"but what?"

"But he was wearing a mask at his wedding ceremony, which is really strange..."

Here He Fangling is still studying the matter of the faceless elder, while Liang Yaochu next to him is staring at the black flower behind him.

She frowned, first looked at the whole wedding team, and then looked up at the flower, the more she looked at it, the more she frowned.

There were not many people around, and most people sighed after seeing such a magnificent battle.

"The wedding pawns of this ghost clan are really different from ours. Today is an eye-opener."

"Yeah, I used to think that the red and gold ones worn at the wedding ceremony were too rustic. Looking at it like this today, this black team looks even more impressive."

"Hahaha, when your wedding ceremony comes, you will also have one, and others will think you have a funeral!"

"Bah! You just went to the funeral!"

A few foreigners in front of you said something and I said it, joking and laughing.

Lin Qingbai and the others listened to other people's discussions, but their expressions became more and more serious.

The wedding team didn't go fast, and they followed the wedding team all the way.

Liang Yaochu didn't know what she was thinking, folded her hands on her chest, put the index finger of her right hand on her chest, tapped her fingertips inconspicuously, and moved her mouth accordingly, as if she was counting things.

She counted very seriously, and He Fanglen, who was next to her, saw her muttering, so he leaned forward and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liang Yaochu ignored him and continued with her actions.

Until the wedding team enters Mo

Resentment River, more and more people on the road.

I saw the wedding team walking along the hillside by the river, under the sound of the joyful piano, slowly landed on the island of the Moyuan River.

Once on the mountain, the rest of the people can no longer follow, the ghost soldiers guarding the mountain stopped those who followed the wedding team.

Everyone could only stand by the Moyuan River to watch the ceremony.

Lin Qingbai and the others also stopped.

Seeing the black flower getting farther and farther away, Liang Yaochu stopped counting and said in a low voice, "That's not right..."

"Why isn't it right?" He Fangleng asked.

Liang Yaochu frowned into Sichuan characters, and said in a low voice: "I once read a secret technique in an ancient book of our Wu clan. Tens of thousands of years ago, when the fairy world was not divided into different clans, there were endless disputes., everyone wants to be the leader of the group, so they fight each other, and there is a ghost clan technique that can quickly increase mana...."

"what way?"

"Put the girl in the black lotus and sacrifice the girl."

"..."

Liang Yaochu's words were like thunder thrown into the ground, shocking everyone's eyes, and they looked at the cliff in the lake one after another.

At this moment, the wedding team walked over the cliff.

The cliff is too high, filled with clouds and mist, and all the scenes need to be transmitted through the clouds in the sky, but even so, the huge black flower can still be seen clearly.

"Could it be...just a coincidence?" He Fanglen frowned and said, "Now that people of all ethnic groups are watching here, how could they do something so insane as a sacrifice?"

Liang Yaochu didn't turn her head, her gaze was still fixed on the black flower on the cliff.

After a while, she said in a heavy voice: "The black lotus recorded in ancient books has twelve petals, each petal has seventy-three folds, and there are fifty-six flower whiskers in the stamen. I just confirmed it.That flower is exactly the black lotus."

"If I'm not mistaken, this grand ceremony is called a wedding ceremony, but it's actually a...festival ceremony."
