4. Biyun Town
Following the "unrequited love incident", the annual news of "Big Brother and Mo Chengke Fight" made him quickly popular in the Shui family.
Ye Chu didn't have the consciousness of being an Internet celebrity, he went to the school on time every day to report, and then went around playing soy sauce, and lived a very chic life.
Originally, it was not difficult for Ye Chu to have a good relationship with his classmates, but Bai Jingshen has always been a maverick, and he doesn't get into oil and salt, and Ye Chu can't disturb his purity, so he can only try his best to hook up with a couple of sentences from time to time, but this method is useless, and the hostility value of the protagonist displayed on the character panel is still hovering around 40%.
Passers-by NPCs are not good in all aspects, and it is even more difficult to do something. Ye Chu was lying on the grass, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and his expression was a little gloomy.
Xu Ziqian had just returned from class in Shanwen Hall, and accidentally found Ye Chu lying on the grass with his eyes closed, so he stepped forward and said quietly: "Senior brother, why are you lazy again." You just broke through the seventh layer of Qi cultivation a few days ago, and this is the time when you need to consolidate your cultivation the most. You're ......"
Ye Chu heard that Xu Zi hadn't come out for a long time, so he got up, patted the ashes on his body, and said with a smile as he walked: "How can you be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man who can nag more than my mother." Let's go, how about coming with me to the "Moon Stone Gate"? ”
Xu Ziqian's heart jumped, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes. In the past, he even dragged the senior brother to "invite" there, but in his lifetime, he could hear the senior brother personally propose to go to the Moon Stone Gate, did he finally decide to take a stand?
The Moon Stone Gate is the place where the disciples of the Shui family receive their daily tasks. There is a moon stone wall here, the stone wall is crescent white, it feels excellent to the touch, and it is warm and moist like jade. In the middle of the night, the moon stone wall is the most beautiful, the whole wall exudes a quiet white moonlight, if it happens that the evening breeze blows, blowing the red sandalwood card hanging on the moon stone wall, the dark fragrance is quiet, the wooden card ding, it is the most romantic scenery of the water family.
The wooden plaque hanging on the wall is the mission token. It is necessary to judge the difficulty of the task by Shui Wuyin, the head of the Moonstone Gate, and hang the token on the moonstone wall with different colored silk threads. The disciples of the Shui family can choose the difficulty of the task according to the overall strength of the team. Just take the token and pour it into each team member's spiritual power, which means that these people will complete the task. The white line is the easiest, the black line is the hardest, and the red line is the most difficult.
After the task is successfully completed, it will be converted into spiritual value according to the difficulty of the process, and will be calculated into the personal life card. The spiritual value in the life card can be used to check the mental method, look through historical materials, purchase materials, etc. What makes the disciples even more eager is that they can spend more time to go to the Lingyi Mountain, the blessed land with the most abundant spiritual energy, to meditate and practice their own mental methods.
Ye Chu stepped on the point and came to the Yueshi Gate, but he was not in a hurry to choose a task, but was a little absent-minded, constantly looking around, as if he was a little distracted.
Xu Ziqian was puzzled. I was about to ask the reason, but I suddenly stopped when I reached the end of my mouth.
Not far away, a white figure walked slowly. That person seems to be a natural magnet, although his eyebrows and eyes are as light as autumn water, the whole person is still as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky, and he can steal everyone's attention wherever he goes.
The person who came was Bai Depth of Field.
Ye Chu saw that the protagonist was really coming, and his eyes immediately moved. He secretly thought that even if he lost face today, he must go on a mission with Bai Jingshen.
According to the plot in the book, this mission is extremely tricky, and it will inevitably lead to a bloody disaster. For the sake of insurance, it is more appropriate for him to follow Bai Jingshen.
"Depth of field, come here, it's up to you." Lu Fengyao, the second junior brother not far away, saw Bai Jingshen and hurriedly beckoned.
Ye Chu's figure was stunned, staring at Lu Fengyao, his eyes were as cold as the snow frost of the wax moon.
Lu Fengyao's back was cold, and he secretly screamed in his heart. The whole clan knows that Senior Brother has a crush on the Fourth Senior Brother, and Senior Brother Fang Cai has never chosen a task, I'm afraid he is just waiting for the Fourth Senior Brother, when he shouts like this, isn't he giving him a face in public?
Bai Jingshen glanced at Ye Chu and walked towards Lu Fengyao's team.
Ye Chuman's eyes immediately darkened.
Bai Jingshen walked up to Lu Fengyao and stood still, glanced at him, and narrowed his eyes.
Lu Fengyao was riding a tiger and was difficult, and when he saw Bai Jingshen's meaningful gaze, he immediately understood. He coughed a few times sharply, covered his heart and shouted in pain: "Senior brother, I suddenly feel unwell, can you take a trip for me?"
The other two people in the team glanced at the second senior brother inexplicably, aren't they okay, why are they terminally ill in a blink of an eye?
Although Lu Fengyao's acting skills are exaggerated, he is unexpectedly very familiar. Ye Chu smiled slightly, and walked over to take the wooden card of the black line mission. He patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Since my junior brother is suddenly ill, I will go for you." Ziqian, take care of your second senior brother for me. ”
How could Xu Ziqian, who was named in public, not know the series of small actions of the few people just now. He blushed, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he dragged the second senior brother who was "suddenly ill" and fled quickly.
Ye Chu played with the task token in his hand and walked to the team he had just grabbed to look at his teammates. The ninth junior brother is sturdy, heroic and masculine, and full of masculinity. And the little junior sister on the side is also very masculine.
There is no beautiful opposite sex in "The Sky", Ye Chu complained silently, he shouldn't have any expectations for the person "Little Junior Sister". Fortunately, there is a white depth of field to raise the average, otherwise, the average appearance of this squad is too miserable.
After the team members injected spiritual power into the wooden card, Ye Chu smiled and said to Bai Jingshen: "Senior Brother Jingshen, let's go."
Bai Jingshen nodded, and the four of them immediately flew towards the northeast where the mission was located.
Although it was not the first time that Ye Chu had flown with Edgeworth, it was the first time he had left the Shui family to fly outside, and he didn't care about talking to others, he just stared at the scenery speeding by under his feet, and the pleasure in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
The younger brothers and sisters of the same team observed Ye Chu's entire journey with a little surprise. It seems that the rumors are indeed true, the senior brother is really deeply in love with the fourth senior brother, and he can be happy to do a task together, which is really embarrassing for straight men and women like them.
On the other hand, Bai Jingshen's expression was as calm as a quiet lake, and he didn't seem to treat the three of them as living people at all, just as three humanoid balls of air floating around.
After about two hours, the team finally arrived at their destination, Biyun Town, a remote town about 800 miles away from the main city of Qingqiu.
There have been many murders in Biyun Town recently, and five people have died one after another. Before death, they all looked crazy, and after death, the body looked like a deep sleep, and the corpse would not decay even after being parked for more than ten days.
The mayor noticed something was wrong and hurriedly sent a letter asking the Shui family to send someone to help.
When a few people entered Biyun Town, they felt a sinister aura permeating the surroundings. It didn't take long for the mayor of Biyun Town to come out to greet him personally.
Shui Qingyue and the others simply said hello to the mayor and went straight to the point, and the mayor had to swallow the praise of merit and virtue in embarrassment, and led the four of them straight to a hut to stop.
The mayor's expression was like a frightened bird, hiding behind a few people, for fear that something evil would come out and take his life, so he dared to whisper: "This was originally the place where five corpses were parked, but three days ago, all five corpses were stolen overnight."
Bai Jingshen took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the old wooden door, and reached out to tear off the only yellow paper seal on the door.
Bai Jingshen frowned and said, "What is this thing ......?"
The mayor of the town seemed to be particularly afraid of Bai Jingshen, and he said nervously: "A few days ago, a mad Dao chief came, and after he entered the village, he repeatedly chanted the words 'Yin fire does not quench, and the corpse does not die', and he also took out a few charms and pasted them on the wooden door. They thought he was a madman, fearing that he would hurt the townspeople, so they threw him out. Later, a child tore up a few of them out of curiosity, and the body was stolen that night. ”
Ye Chu took the talisman handed by Bai Jingshen and looked at it, and said with a faint smile: "Mayor Town, I'm afraid you're going to be unlucky."
When the mayor heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Why did the Taoist chief say this?"
Ye Chu explained: "This talisman is called 'Soul Fixing', which can block demons and monsters from attacking. These corpses are full of weirdness, presumably a ghost cultivator wants to use the dead to refine the living corpse, but because of this yin and yang grudge, he couldn't enter the house to steal the corpse, and as a result, the talisman was torn apart, and the corpse was naturally stolen. ”
The mayor was shocked and said, "What should I do?"
A few people didn't answer, but just walked around the hut to check. Bai Jingshen found some things in each of the four corners and handed them to Ye Chu and said, "Senior brother, it's the Soul Condensing Array."
Ye Chu showed the things to his junior brothers and sisters in turn, and motioned for Bai Jingshen to explain it to everyone. Bai Jingshen said: "Placing the soul fixing spell in the dry position can effectively isolate the five senses of the living corpse. Then use three cinnabar, three Bodhi seeds, a piece of lightning strike wood, and a soul suppression talisman to form a demon suppression seal with the blood of living creatures, in quadruplicate, and place it around the mansion, which is the highest quality soul condensing formation. ”
Listening to Shiro's speech was a pleasure. The voice is going through a period of voice change, but it is not at all as unpleasant as most teenagers' voices like male ducks, but it is moist mixed with a few traces of hoarseness, and it sounds like being scratched a few times by a cat's claw in the bottom of the heart, which is numb and comfortable.
Ye Chu always felt that it was a pity to put this voice on Bai Jingshen, this person was usually taciturn, and he didn't speak until he had to, and he didn't know how such a withdrawn character was developed.
The mayor of the town came back to his senses and said with a sad face: "Could it be that the ghost cultivator still wants to come to kill people and take the corpse again?" Why are you still not satisfied after stealing five bodies? ”
Ye Chu replied: "Biyun Town-style exchange, there is stagnant water in front of it, and there is Yin Mountain backing in the back, which is a great yin and evil place. People who have lived here for a long time have a strong cathode, a declining anodice, three floating souls, and seven restless spirits. This type of body is an excellent material for refining living corpses, and it is reasonable to be remembered. ”
The mayor's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "But Biyun Town has been here for more than a hundred years, and nothing strange has ever happened."
Ye Chu said clearly: "Because you have long been marked by that ghost cultivator and regarded as a personal item."
Ye Chu saw that his junior brothers and sisters were puzzled, so he explained: "Maybe a hundred years ago, maybe earlier. Somehow, the ghost cultivator had divided this place into his sphere of influence. Ghost cultivators also talk about thieves and Taos, and since they have all been marked with private marks, they can't be touched again. The ghost cultivator probably waited for the townspeople to cultivate their yin and evil bodies, and then refine them all into living corpses for him to drive. ”
The mayor's legs trembled like chaff, and the more he thought about it, the whiter his face became. In the end, he knelt on the ground and cried, begging: "Dao Chief, you must save me!"
Ye Chu was disturbed by his howl, and he still didn't listen to a few words of persuasion, so he had to threaten him: "If you cry again, we will take you to lure that ghost cultivator to show up first."
When the mayor heard this, he immediately didn't dare to cry anymore, so he nodded yes.
The corners of Bai Jingshen's mouth hooked slightly, and his eyes were slightly warmer, but it was fleeting, and he soon returned to his usual coldness, and said, "You can confirm it by going to the back mountain."
The mayor hurriedly led the group towards the entrance of the back mountain.
Ye Chu walked at the end, looking at the protagonist who even seemed to have frozen the back of his head, and was slightly stunned.
This paralyzed face...... Did you just laugh?
At this moment, a rapid beep suddenly exploded in the brain. The soles of Ye Chu's feet were weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
