Wei Wuxian said, "Where are the man-eating demons haunting?"

He had heard similar legends at least a thousand times, and he had also removed them hundreds of times, and he couldn't help but be bored. It is said that in the forest ridge, there is a 'man-eating castle', which is inhabited by man-eating monsters. Anyone who mistakenly intrudes will be gnawed by them until there are no bones left, and no corpses can be found. Terrible, right?"

No wonder Jin Ling appeared here, he didn't take down the Soul Eater Heavenly Maiden of Dafan Mountain last time, and this time he must have come for the monsters on the Walking Road Ridge.

Wei Wuxian said, "It's terrible! However, since there are no bones left, and there are no corpses left, how do you know that they have been eaten?"

Lang Zhong was dumbfounded, and after a moment, he said, "Of course someone saw it." ”

Wei Wuxian: "But didn't you say that anyone who mistakenly broke through would be gnawed to the point that there were no bones left, without exception?" Then who spread this rumor, so powerful, that you can still come out alive after seeing this kind of picture?"

"......" Lang Zhong said: "That's how the rumors spread, how do I know." ”

Wei Wuxian: "Do you know how many people were eaten on Xingluling, when were they eaten, how old were they, what are their names, and where do they live?"

Lang Zhong: "I don't know. ”

Wei Wuxian: "Qinghe Bai Xiaosheng?"

Lang Zhong angrily carried the basket: "The rumors have not been spread in the first place!"

Wei Wuxian hurriedly said, "Don't don't, don't go." Let me ask again, that Xingluling is still in the territory of Qinghe, isn't Qinghe the territory of the Nie family? If there are really man-eating monsters haunting Xingluling, they will sit idly by?"

Unexpectedly, this time, Lang Zhong didn't answer "I don't know" again, but showed a little contempt: "Nie family, if it was the Nie family back then, of course it wouldn't sit idly by." The day after this rumor came out, it was inevitable that the place where the evil would come will be raided. But now the head of the Nie family, hehe, isn't he the one who 'doesn't know anything'. ”

Wei Wuxian knew who he was talking about.

The original head of the Qinghe Nie family was Chifeng Zun Nie Mingjue, who took over the Nie family before he reached the weak crown, and his style was upright and tough. He and Zewujun Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao are righteous brothers. After the Shooting Sun Campaign, the Nie family was under his control, and for a period of time, the scenery and majesty were close to the Lanling Jin family. And since his cultivation went mad and died in public, his younger brother Nie Huaisang took over the position of head of the family, and the Qinghe Nie clan has been a thousand miles since then.

Wei Wuxian asked, "Do you call him 'one question and three don't know'?"

Lang Zhong said: "You don't know this allusion? This Nie family master, when people ask him something, he won't say what he doesn't know, and he won't dare to say what he knows." He shook his head again and again, crying and saying, 'I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know!' begging people to let him go. Isn't it a question and a no-brainer?"

Back then, Wei Wuxian was a classmate with Nie Huaisang and knew him well. Nie Huaisang is not bad-hearted, not unintelligent, but he has no intention of learning, and his cleverness is used elsewhere, drawing fans to catch birds and skipping school to fish, and he is really poor in cultivation, and he is barely married □□ years later than the children of other families. Nie Mingjue often hated iron and steel, and disciplined him very strictly, but he still couldn't support the wall. Now that there is no eldest brother to shield from the wind and rain to supervise and mention, everyone mentions Nie Huaisanglai, although he is silent, his face is full of four-word comments: pus waste.

After inquiring about Xingluling, he still took care of Langzhong's business, bought two boxes of rouge, and walked back to Lan Wangji in his arms, who still didn't mean to ask him to return the money bag, and walked in the direction pointed by Na Lang Zhong without saying a word.

There is a large cedar forest on the road ridge, the forest road is open, and the green shade is sassy. The two walked through for a while, but they didn't encounter anything unusual. Fortunately, they listened to the words of the Jianghu Langzhong, and they didn't have any expectations. If there is a terrible rumor in a place, then there is always something to say. The Soul Eater of Dafanshan is a haunter, where the victim's family lives and who his surname is, as soon as he inquires, he will be clear, and he can't even hide the nickname of Ah Yan's fiancé. And if the details of the victim's name are all confused, then it is most likely to be sensational. Take this trip, just in case.

After half an hour, they finally encountered a little twist and turn after a lot of hard work. Seven or eight figures staggered across the side, rolling their eyes, ragged, as if the wind was blowing down, extremely slow, it turned out to be a column of low-level walking corpses that could no longer be lower-level.

This kind of walking corpse is not only oppressed in its kind, but when it meets a slightly stronger living person, one can kick them over a row, and when it meets a child who runs faster, it can be thrown out of the street in an instant. Even if they are unlucky enough to be unlucky anymore and give them two breaths of yang energy, they can't suck people to death. In addition to their ugly appearance and smell, they do not pose a threat at all, so when they encounter them during night hunting, most of them are not killed, but simply ignored. This is the same as hunting only tigers and leopards, not mice.

Wei Wuxian knew it was going to be bad when he saw them coming, and retreated behind Lan Wang's fuselage in a low-key manner. Sure enough, the column of walking corpses staggered to a distance of five or six feet from them, and when they saw Wei Wuxian, they were so frightened that they immediately turned around and retreated, their legs and feet more than two or three times sharper than when they came around. Wei Wuxian rubbed his temples and turned around and said, "Wow! Hanguang-kun, you're so amazing!" As soon as they saw you, they turned around in fright and ran. Huh!"

Lan Wangji was speechless.

Wei Wuxian pushed him hahaha: "Let's go, let's go down." I don't think there are any other monsters here, and the people in this place can really be passed on, and a few nested walking corpses can be passed on as monsters that eat people and don't spit out bones, and what 'cannibal castle' must also be choreographed, go for nothing!"

Lan Wangji was pushed by him several times, and then he took a step. Before Wei Wuxian could keep up, suddenly, in the distance of the cedar forest, there was a frantic barking sound of dogs.

Wei Wuxian's color changed in horror, and he flashed behind Lan Wang's fuselage in an instant, hugging his waist and squatting down and curled into a ball.

Lan Wangji: "...... It's still far away, what are you hiding? ”

Wei Wuxian said, "First first, first first hide, first hide." Where is it?Where is it?!"

Lan Wangji listened for a moment and said, "It's Jin Ling's black-maned spirit dog." ”

When Wei Wuxian heard this, he stood up, and was forced to squat down by the barking of the dog again, Lan Wangji said, "The spirit dog barks wildly, it must have encountered something." ”

Wei Wuxian complained bitterly and stood up again: "Then that and that go and take a look." Check it out. ”

Lan Wangji didn't move a step, Wei Wuxian said, "Hanguang-jun, you move, move!" He didn't move, and he didn't dare to move.

Lan Wangji was silent for a moment before he said, "You...... Let go first. ”

The two of them tugged and stumbled, followed the barking of dogs, but spared two laps in the cedar forest. The black-maned greyhound's bark also flickered near and far. Wei Wuxian listened to the dog barking for a while, and barely got used to it, so he didn't stutter anymore: "There is a maze here?"

This maze is clearly set up by man, and it was just said that the rumors of Xingluling are all chasing after the wind, but now it is a little interesting.

The formation was not difficult to crack, and after Lan Wangji discovered the mechanism, he immediately walked out. At this time, the black-maned greyhound had already roared for half a pillar of incense, still full of energy, and followed the sound, and after a while, in the cedar forest, the outline of a forest stone castle emerged.

The building is made of gray-white stones, and the surface is covered with green vines and fallen leaves, each of which is built into a strange semicircle, as if several large bowls are buckled to the ground.

There is really a stone fort in Xinglu Ridge, and it seems that the rumors are not groundless. But it's hard to say whether or not it's a "cannibal castle" and what is inside.

Jin Ling's black-maned greyhound was on the periphery of the stone castle group, running around it, sometimes whispering, sometimes barking loudly. Seeing Lan Wangji approaching, although he retreated timidly, he did not flee in the wilderness, but shouted at them even louder, and looked at the stone castle again, and his front paws dug the ground and the dirt flew up, and he was anxious. Wei Wuxian hid behind Lan Wangji and said bitterly, "Why hasn't it left...... What about its owner?Why is it gone?!"

From the time he heard the barking of the dog, until now, he did not hear any sound from Jin Ling, nor did he see his figure. If he was in distress, he didn't hear the cries for help. The black-maned greyhound must have been brought by him, the maze must have been broken, and a living person seemed to disappear like this.

Lan Wangji said: "Go in and have a look." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "How do you get in? ”

It's really no way. The gray-white stone blocks were tightly sealed, leaving no doors or windows. The black-maned spirit dog whined and jumped up, as if it wanted to bite the corner of Lan Wangji's clothes, but when it got closer, he didn't dare, and went around him to bite the hem of Wei Wuxian's clothes, dragging him out.

Wei Wuxian's soul was about to go out of his body: "Lan Zhan...... Blue Blue Blue ...... Blue blue !!"

The black-maned greyhound dragged Wei Wuxian, Wei Wuxian dragged Lan Wangji, and a dog dragged the two of them for a small half circle and circled around the stone castle. There was a man-high hole here. The shape was untidy, and the ground was full of large and small rubble, which had obviously just been split by someone with a violent magic weapon. The entrance to the cave was dark and unclear, and there seemed to be a faint red light. The black-maned greyhound let go of its mouth, barked at a string of inside, and wagged its tail wildly at the two men. Needless to say, it must have been Jin Ling's strong force to break through this stone castle, but after entering, there was an accident.

The dust was automatically unsheathed by half an inch, and the blade of the sword emitted a cold pale blue halo, illuminating the pitch-black road ahead, and Lan Wangji bent down and took the lead in entering it. Wei Wuxian was driven crazy by the dog, and rushed in, nearly colliding with him. Lan Wangji held his hand, not knowing whether it was reproach or helplessness, and shook his head.

The black-maned greyhound looked so clear that it wanted to follow up, and tried to rush in, but it seemed to be blocked by some kind of force, and it couldn't break through the barrier no matter what, so it had to sit down at the entrance of the cave, and its tail wagged more and more wildly. Wei Wuxian was so happy that he almost knelt down for it, withdrew his hand, and took a few steps inside, the cold blue sword light lining the black surroundings into a cold white.

The trees on the ridge are high and the forest is deep, and it is very shady, but the interior of this stone fort is even cooler than it. Wei Wuxian went into battle in light clothes, his cuffs and vest were blowing in the yin wind, and the cold sweat that had just been scared out by the black-maned greyhound was dry. The light at the entrance of the cave had long since disappeared like a candle flame, and the further you went, the wider and darker it became.

The top of the stone castle was round, and Wei Wuxian kicked the gravel at his feet, and a slight echo could be heard.

He finally couldn't help it, stopped, pressed his right hand on his temple, and frowned slightly.

Lan Wangji turned around and said, "How?"

Wei Wuxian said, "...... It's noisy. ”

Inside the stone castle, there was silence, as quiet as a tomb. It was also very much like a tomb.

But in Wei Wuxian's ears, at this moment, they were already in a noisy situation.
