"Familiarity, what kind of familiarity?" Qiu Shu didn't know, when she asked this sentence, a smile had already appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Anyway, this big house, I feel like I've seen it somewhere, and it seems like it was a long time ago, but how is this possible?" muttered Sheng Gray, turning his head again in the direction of the town.

Qiu Shu turned his head and glanced at Lou Yanxin, who nodded.

The smile on the corner of Qiu Shu's mouth was already revealed, she turned her horse's head, and came to the fork in the road again, heading for another road.

The rest of the people followed, only Sheng Gray lingered in front of the gloomy gate of the ghost town for a long time before he followed.

In the afternoon, the team came to the south bank of the Autumn River, which has been rushing for hundreds of years.

Qiushu didn't cross the river, just stood here, looking north of Qiuhe, there is a mountain range, walking sideways, at least seven peaks, for Qiuyin Mountain.

Qiushu kept looking at Qiuyin Mountain, motionless and silent.

Lou Yanxin was behind the side of Qiushu and said, "Your Highness, the hour is not early. ”

Qiu Shu said: "Let Sheng Shen come over." ”

Sheng Shen quickly came to Qiu Shu's side, his mood was not high, and after he came over, he didn't say a word.

When he saw the ghost town before, Qiu Shu had called him over, and he didn't understand why now, and now he called him over again, and asked him if he had any ideas?

But what could he think, this mountain range, at first glance, is extremely unfamiliar, it must be the first time to come.

Qiu Shu didn't think so, pointed ahead, and said: "Sheng Gray, this is Qiuyin Mountain, the second Miao who wants to capture you is the guy with a toad face, and there is also a Miao boss, who is in this mountain range." ”

"Oh?" Sheng Ash didn't expect that Qiu Shu called him this time to tell him this.

That Miao Boss, since he appeared and disappeared inexplicably, has not been seen until now, and Miao Lao Er, when they left Liusheng County, they still looked like they were not stingy, and now they should be on the way to Qiujing City.

And the Scarlet Mercenary Group that was subdued by Qiu Shu, as well as the three guys with some secret methods, were all hired by Miao Boss and Miao Er, so in the list of Sheng Ash's decision to avenge Liu Qiang, this Miao Boss is one of the very important people, but I didn't expect that they were in this mountain range.

"However, Sheng Ash, this palace called you here and told you this, it doesn't make you impulsive, we don't have enough manpower this time, but it doesn't matter, this is the territory of my Qiushui country, as long as you are loyal to this palace, this palace can guarantee that it won't be long before you get what you want." ”

"Get what you want?" Sheng Gray thought to himself, could it be that Qiushu was referring to the matter of avenging Liu Qiang?

If you can do it, that's a good thing.

"Thank you very much. Sheng Shen said.

Qiu Shu waved his hand, glanced at the direction of Qiuyin Mountain again, and turned his horse's head, "Go back to Gaotong Station first, and return to Beijing tomorrow." ”

"Yes. ”

On the evening of the same day, in the Qualcomm Station, in the Qiu study, Qiu Shu sat on the main seat of the hall, Lou Yanxin sat with him, and the two female flame guards stood aside.

Qiu Shu held a few pages of bamboo paper in his hand, and it looked densely written.

Qiu Shu looked very serious, and after reading it once, he didn't know what he remembered, so he lowered his head and read it again.

This time I watched it for a longer time, and after reading it, I handed it to Lou Yanxin.

Lou Yanxin took it with both hands and began to watch carefully, Qiushu asked: "Xiaoshui, why did Shengjia Village develop into the current ghost town, what happened to the ghost pit in that town, why didn't it be written?"

Xiao Shui said: "Your Royal Highness, this matter, the subordinates have inquired about this matter, but in the mouths of several people, there are several different versions, and no one can say it clearly, and the people around the entire Yanggu City are secretive about the ghost town, and it can be said that it has reached the level of talking about the tiger's color change, so the subordinates did not write it on bamboo paper, after all, the subordinates are not sure what version it is." ”

"Oh, just say two. Qiu Shu became interested, took a sip of tea, and said.

"Yes, the first person to ask was a woman named Xin Yue in Liule County, when she was washing clothes by the river, and her subordinates gave her a small pearl. According to her, after the catastrophe in Shengjia Village, it seemed that God could not see such a tragedy, so one day, the heavenly fog-driving spirit god was sent to cover the entire Shengjia Village to cover the light of the sun, and the original villagers of Shengjia Village, after their deaths, can continue to return here and return to their original homes. Thus, the ghost town was formed. As for the ghost pit, what she said was that the abandoned mine pit, in the innermost part, the fog-driving spirit god lived in it, and when he sheltered the souls of the villagers of Shengjia Village, he was also restraining them, and they could not go out and harm the world. ”

"Heh, I can justify myself, but how many people can really see the strange things?"

"Yes. According to him, the formation of the ghost town is very natural, and it naturally happens when the surrounding people don't know what's going on, that is, the ghost town seems to have been formed overnight, but in fact, no one has lived there for many years, and few people will go because of the taboo around, and when people pay attention to it again, it has become what it is now. As for the ghost pit, the watchman looked scornful, saying that it was just some delusional drunken nonsense. ”

"Is it naturally formed?" This time Qiu Shu did not express an opinion, Xiao Shui secretly glanced at Qiu Shu and found that she was frowning and contemplating.

"Anything else?" After a while, Qiu Shu continued to ask.

"There is one thing, after the subordinates asked the watchman, I originally wanted to hurry up to investigate the matter of Liu Shilan's family, but the watchman said that yesterday evening, there was a handsome child, about seven or eight years old, who also came to ask him questions. The subordinates asked him who that person was, what he looked like, and what he was asking him about, but the watchman couldn't say much, but there was one point, saying that the child was asking not only about the tragedy of Liu Shilan's family, but also about asking why Liu Shilan's family had a troublesome brotherhood. ”

"Sheng Ash?" Qiu Shu was stunned, remembering Sheng Ash's reaction when she heard Ma Ye speak yesterday, and there were still problems, her first reaction was that Sheng Shen went to Liuchuan County, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Lou Yanxin put down the bamboo paper in her hand and said, "It's not very likely that Sheng will be gray. Your Royal Highness, from the Gaotong Post Station to Liuchuan County, even if you ride a fast horse, it is not something that can be reached in one or two hours, after Sheng Shen came back yesterday, he went back to the room directly, and there was no less than one bantam horse outside, otherwise, the guys at the post station would have come to report a long time ago. So, it could be someone else, right?"

"Others?" Qiu Shu knew that what Lou Yanxin said was very reasonable, and since it was not Sheng Gray, she instantly lost interest, and asked instead: "What do you see in these three cases?"

"There is one thing in common. Lou Yanxin said.

"Tell me about it. ”

"It's simple, black mist. In the first case, Niu Bian's words, including the records of other witnesses here, were all talking about a black lion, while in the second case, he was wearing a black robe, or black mist, and could pass through walls and fly, and in the third case, Liu Shilan's old mother was also possessed by black gas. This black mist is the key. ”

"You mentioned the black lion, could it be the one you saw in Gaohu Village that day?" Qiu Shu suddenly asked.

Lou Yanxin said: "This subordinate is not sure, after all, he has not seen it with his own eyes, but what the subordinate wants to say is, Your Highness, do you still remember what happened in Wang Yuan's house when you were in Liusheng County?"

"The ghost fetus?"

"Exactly, at that time, the subordinates remembered very clearly, that baby, in the mouth of that Granny Liu, in the mouth of Wang Yuan, was all said to be full of black gas, what is this black gas? ”

Qiu Shu's face began to become a little solemn, and said: "After you said this, this palace remembered something, do you remember that on the way to Liusheng County, we once encountered a dilapidated ruin, at that time you said that there was no one there, we used to camp there." ”

"Well, what does Your Highness mean?" Lou Yan naturally remembered the ruins, which looked like the ruins of an ancient city, but she didn't understand what Qiu Shu was doing there at this time.

"This palace didn't mention it to you that day, this is because if you hadn't reminded the palace just now, the palace didn't think, what a big deal, in the center of the ruins, there was a huge head, made of stone, very high, more than five zhang, at that time the palace had been on the top of the head, saw a black figure, but it was close to dusk, that person was fleeting, the palace saw that you were all unconscious, plus after we successfully arrived at Liusheng County, I thought, it may be just the illusion of the palace, now I think about it, that figure, but it is a little clear, but also full of black gas。 ”

"Is there such a thing? Can you see that person's appearance clearly?" Lou Yanxin was taken aback, although it had been some time since the incident mentioned by Qiushu happened at this time, Lou Yanxin was still frightened.

"No, in retrospect, the man resembled the man whom the mute servant had seen, with long hair, no face to be seen, and a black robe. Qiu Shu looked at the upper right side of the room and said with a look of remembrance.
