Chapter 61: Bai Xiu's Conspiracy Theory
Bai Xiu nodded.
Seeing her frowning, he explained: "I thought about it, the Ming family, as one of the three ancient families, suddenly disappeared twenty years ago, it must have something to do with some powerful force, maybe those people are the same group of people who hunted down and killed my parents."
And the Ming family is deeply involved in the land of listening to souls, could it be that force is subordinate to the Ghost King City?
Listening to the Soul Land Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, not to mention the ghost girl Si Yin, it is Zhong Ming that I mentioned to you before, and his strength is also unfathomable. If there are a few more people like this, they can completely wipe out the Ming family overnight. β
Fang Xin nodded thoughtfully.
Bai Xiu said again: "And your uncle, their husband and wife were obviously buried in the sea of fire back then, why did he come back from the dead and appear here twenty years later? Is it possible that the accident back then was caused by the Ghost King City?"
Fang Xin raised his head in surprise, as if he understood something.
She muttered, "If all of this is a conspiracy of the Ghost King City, then could it be that their target is the entire Gu family, or even the entire cultivation world? But why, we and the Land of Soul Listening have always had no river water ...... the well water?"
Bai Xiu shook his head and said, "No one knows...... But now an opportunity to figure out the ins and outs of this is in front of us.
Zhong Ming's strength is definitely above me, but he didn't do it directly, but wanted to get rid of me with the hand of the ghost girl Si Yin, so he must have some scruples.
In that case, why don't we preemptively strike and use this as a flaw to let the truth come out completely?"
Fang Xin pursed his lips, still a little uneasy, and hesitated: "Isn't this too risky, if the ghost king Si Ming is really the mastermind behind the scenes......
Bai Xiu said in a deep voice: "If he is really behind the scenes, then we should find out the truth of the matter." Only in this way can we grasp the last ray of life.
After all, with his power, it is impossible for him not to know that we have come to the land of listening to souls, and with his position, it is even more impossible for him to let us go easily. β
Fang Xin listened in a daze, feeling that things were getting more and more tricky, he didn't expect that the Soul Listening Land and his party would involve so many things.
She involuntarily raised her head.
At this time, the sun was just right, but she didn't get a trace of light and warmth from it, but it was like falling into boundless darkness, and she couldn't help but shiver lightly.
Suddenly, she remembered something, turned her head to look at Bai Xiu, and said softly: "Bai Xiu, did you think of this a long time ago, so you came to Sister Su Nuo with me?"
Because you know that even if we don't do anything and go directly to the exit of the Land of Listening to Souls, we may not be able to leave, so we simply come to the Ghost King City by surprise to disrupt the rhythm of the other party?"
Bai Xiu was about to answer, when a mansion suddenly appeared at the end of the streetβtheir destination had arrived.
Fang Xin forgot to ask him for an answer for a while, and hurriedly looked at the Ghost King's Mansion, where the door was wide open and there was not a single ghost at the door.
She couldn't help but say: "Don't you close the door in the place of listening to the soul, the Ghost King City is like this, and the Ghost King Mansion is also like this......"
Bai Xiu smiled when she heard her complaint, and then observed it carefully.
Soon he discovered a strange phenomenon, there were not a few "people" coming and going around, but they all seemed to be non-existent in the ghost king's mansion.
It's a hard feeling to describe, like a landscape, even if the locals don't see it, someone will always take a second look.
But the eyes of these "people" in front of him gave him the feeling that they didn't seem to be in front of them, but a wall or something.
"Bai Xiu?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Fang Xin couldn't help but call out loud.
Bai Xiu came back to her senses, and when she said this, she also discovered this, and said in surprise: "Can't they see this ghost king's mansion?"
Then she said a little strangely, "How did Mingshu know about its existence?"
Bai Xiu sighed lightly and said meaningfully: "It seems that it is not an ordinary ghost, and your righteous sister is afraid that she also has an extraordinary background...... Anyway, let's go in first, and we'll see you when the time comes. β
Fang Xin nodded and entered the Ghost King's Mansion side by side with him.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she was surprised.
She pointed not far away and said happily, "Could it be that is the Nightmare Spirit Fruit that Mingshu said?"
Bai Xiu raised his eyes and saw an extremely peculiar tree growing in front of the court.
It looks a bit like a banyan tree, with lush foliage and verdant.
However, unlike ordinary trees, its fruit does not grow on branches, but hangs like a cocoon on a whisker that looks like an aerial root pulled from the trunk of the tree.
These fruits are half the size of a fist, green and black, bathed in dazzling sunlight, and there seems to be a faint black mist floating around them.
A gust of wind blew the leaves rattling, and those cocoon-like spirit fruits also swayed gently.
Fang Xin counted, there were more than thirty fruits on this tree, and they hung high and low on it, looking a little weird.
Suddenly, her nose twitched, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and for a while, a fragrance that seemed to have a sweet smell came straight to her nose.
"What the hell is this, it's so fragrant......" Fang Xin looked at those fruits and swallowed involuntarily.
She turned her head to look at Bai Xiu, but saw that the corners of his forehead were full of cold sweat, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
She hurriedly said, "Bai Xiu, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Xiu staggered back a few steps, finally stabilized his figure, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this thing is too ghostly, and it has a significant impact on the ghost eye, so I'll just stand farther away......"
Fang Xin hurriedly supported him, and when he touched his palm, he only felt cold and piercing, and for a while, the six gods said ownerlessly: "Then let's get out of here first......
As she said that, she was about to go to the door, but Bai Xiu shook her head.
He looked at the trees full of Nightmare Spirit Fruits, and said thoughtfully, "I probably know what this thing is...... Ah Xin, have you brought other baggage, right? Go and take them all off. β
Fang Xin listened but didn't follow, and persuaded him: "This thing hurts you so much, we better get as far away from them as possible." If you're curious, we'll come back and take a closer look when the problem with the ghost eye is solved......"
Bai Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm measured...... If my guess is correct, this Nightmare Spirit Fruit may be the innate ghost power condensed by the remnants of those wandering souls after their liberation, and if you can refine them, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Nine Yin Spirits. β
Fang Xin didn't expect that he was thinking about himself, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of honey in his heart.
But seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, she held his hand tightly, and still said: "Even so, we don't need to be in a hurry, anyway, no one will rob us." β
Bai Xiu said patiently: "Mingshu knows the existence of the Nightmare Spirit Fruit, and must be very familiar with this Ghost King's Mansion, but it wants to ask us to get it, I'm afraid it's not just to embarrass us, but has another inside story."
The innate ghost power in this Nightmare Spirit Fruit is so abundant, I am afraid it has an extraordinary significance to the ghosts and souls in the land of listening to souls. We didn't encounter any obstacles this time, and it may not be the next time. β
Fang Xin couldn't help but think about his words, and said slowly: "Also, for such an important thing, maybe there is someone in charge of guarding......"
She slammed down, pointed to the open door of the mansion, and suddenly said, "Is this the case...... This Nightmare Spirit Fruit is usually guarded, but he will leave at a certain time, and Mingshu knows this law, so let's take it at this time?"
Then she shook her head again and said, "If that's the case, why doesn't it take it for herself? After all, isn't it afraid that we will swallow such a precious thing......
I know!
The guard didn't leave on his own, but was led away by some unknown means, and he didn't know how to do it, so he needed our help to get it!"
Bai Xiu didn't refute, only smiled: "The others are not clear, but one thing I am sure of is that all it needs is your help." The spirit fruit is full of ghostly energy, not to mention the ghost eyes, even ordinary people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get close.
And the soul of the Ghost King City can't find the Ghost King Mansion at all, let alone help it. Only if you have the Nine Yin Spirit, which is neither a soul body nor a ghost qi, can you easily take them out. β
He paused, looking at the fruits fluttering in the wind and seemed to hesitate.
In the end, he still said: "I just don't know if it was a temporary idea, or if I have long known that you are the Nine Yin Spirit Physique and will definitely come to Ghost King City, I had this plan from the beginning." β
"Do you doubt Sister Su Nuo?!" Fang Xin finally heard the meaning of his words, immediately shook his head, and said, "Sister Su Nuo will tell me openly if she needs help, instead of choosing this kind of roundabout approach!"
Bai Xiu said helplessly: "I'm not suspicious of your friend, it's just ...... You also know that your Nine Yin Soul physique is not something that anyone can see, unless Mingshu also has the cultivation of the Ghost Maiden Si Yin. β
Fang Xin couldn't help but retort: "But Sister Su Nuo doesn't know that I am the Nine Yin Soul Physique, so how can she tell Ming Shu?"
After hearing this, Bai Xiu immediately smiled apologetically, and said casually: "Maybe I'm too careful...... In any case, it would definitely not hurt for us to accept these spirit fruits first. β
Seeing that there was a bit of bitterness in his words, Fang Xin suddenly regretted it.
Just now, somehow, she suddenly felt that Bai Xiu was a little too conspiracy theory, not at all as calm and breezy as he usually was, so she couldn't help but cross-examine herself.
Her reaction Bai Xiu naturally saw it in her eyes, and she didn't break it, but said disappreciatively: "Ah Xin, I'm waiting for you here, you can go quickly." β
Fang Xin nodded, and walked towards the tree almost as if he was running away.
When she got to the bottom of the tree, she couldn't help but look up.
This time, when she got closer, she realized that the surface of those cocoon-like spirit fruits actually had extremely detailed lines, as if they were carved.
The sweet fragrance became more and more intense, she no longer hesitated, and immediately took out another burden and shook it away, and with a flick of her right hand, she accurately wrapped the thin whiskers hanging the spirit fruit.
Fang Xin's wrist flipped, and a bright light suddenly flashed around the body of the Nightmare Spirit Fruit, and with a slight sound, it fell straight into the baggage.
She subconsciously held her breath and looked around with some apprehension, and finally couldn't help but look back at Bai Xiu.
Seeing him smile comfortingly, her heart settled down a little, and Linglong thought about it and wrapped it around another spirit fruit.
Originally, she thought that something would change, but when she took off a full bag, there was still no reaction around her.
Fang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Linglongsi, and tied the package to his back.
But after glancing at Bai Xiu, she stood there, but she didn't take a step for a long time.
