"Looking for ...... The rhythm of gas flow...... Find my own rhythm!"

Xiao Yuchen's eyes were resolute, ignoring the gradually sore arms, the trembling legs, and the sore waist.

After a stick of incense, there were only sporadic spots of water stains on the soles of his feet, which were sweat falling from his forehead.

"Hmph-"

"Whew-"

Gradually, although his body could no longer stop shaking, his every breath became rhythmic and disorderly.

"Boom!"

Xiao Yuchen bent down slightly, the bucket fell to the ground, making two muffled sounds, he wiped his sweat, not only was he not tired, but he was radiant. He felt that his breathing was very different from before, and his breathing at this time was more rhythmic, as if every time he inhaled could incorporate the aura of heaven and earth, and when he exhaled, he could exhale the turbid air in his chest cavity, and after breathing, the whole person was refreshed.

"That's it for today, you can go back and rest. Chen Yundrunk smiled faintly and said with satisfaction, Xiao Yuchen nodded, shook his clothes, and left the lobby.

......

Back in the simple and spacious room, Xiao Yuchen was concentrating on the bed and began to follow today's feelings.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, followed by voices from outside—

"Young Master Xiao, Master Hou ordered to fetch some hot water for you. ”

Xiao Yuchen answered, the man carried a wooden bucket in, and a few people who followed him poured water into it, and before going out, a subordinate put his clothes on the side of the bed and said to Xiao Yuchen: "If the son finishes washing, he will tell me to wait, in addition, this is the clothes arranged by the Hou Ye." ”

As the door closed, Xiao Yuchen took off his clothes and soaked in the hot water of the wooden barrel, this bubble couldn't help but make him let out a long groan of comfort, this is not ordinary hot water, but a medicine soaked in the skin meridians of soothing people, which belongs to the medicinal bath.

I didn't expect Chen Yunzui to bother so much, after this afternoon's training, combined with the medicinal bath, his body will recover faster.

"Continue to breathe rhythmically until it becomes my subconscious action. ”

"Hmph-whew-"

Time gradually passed, Xiao Yuchen soaked two sticks of incense, his mood was as calm as water, his breathing was long, and the injuries in his body were quietly healing in a better situation.

......

The night was shrouded in the quiet princess's mansion, and in the plum garden south of the mansion, Nie Yixin was walking in it, and Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan were walking with lanterns.

After looking at it for a long time, Nie Yixin still felt incredible, and stared at Zi Liangyun in a blink of an eye, "Are these really made by that disciple?"

Zi Liangyun groaned slightly, nodded her head, in fact, she couldn't believe that Xiao Yuchen was obviously such a casual person, and he did such a delicate thing, and it was also gardening, which cultivator would spend a lot of effort on gardening? It was generally an ordinary person's way to make a living.

"Not bad. ”

Nie Yixin smiled slightly, retracted his gaze, and walked around the garden to his heart's content.

"It's so beautiful. ”

She danced from time to time, her posture was graceful and light in the snow, Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and hurriedly followed her.

Tired of jumping, Nie Yixin leaned on a plum tree, gradually moved down, and squatted.

"Sister Zi, Sister Lei, aren't you curious at all why I like to watch plums at night?"

"Curiosity is curiosity, and it's a bit presumptuous to ask. Zi Liangyun said as she hurriedly winked at Lei Yan.

"Ah...... Curious, curious!" Lei Yan reacted and said busily.

Nie Yixin quietly looked at the snow on the ground, and said slowly: "The mother concubine was ...... Just to leave ...... at night."

Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan were inexplicably heavy in their hearts, and they couldn't help but sigh.

This princess looks mischievous, but she uses it to bury the sadness in her heart.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a scream came from outside the house wall.

The three of them all looked at the palace wall, and the people were also attracted by the sound, and in front of everyone's eyes, a bloody hand reached in from outside the wall, and slashed at the wall, scratching out five bloody marks.

Nie Yixin ducked behind the two of them in fear and covered her mouth.

Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan's hearts shook at the same time, and they immediately rushed out, but before they could reach the wall, they heard a strange sound, and they couldn't help but pause.

"Quack...... Quack...... Zizi ...... Zizi ......"

With that strange crisp sound, the bloody hand suddenly let go and fell out, making a heavy thud.

Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan suddenly stepped on the ground and leaped up to the wall, and when they saw something on the other side of the wall, their eyes suddenly widened, and then they vomited and vomited.

Outside the wall, a corpse that could no longer be seen in human form, as if it had been torn by a beast, the flesh and skin were open, the bones were scattered all over the ground, the bloody internal organs and intestines were dragged out for several meters, the snow was dyed scarlet, and the pungent smell hit the human cranial nerves, only the frightened eyes and the wide open mouth could be vaguely seen.

"Gross!"

"Gross!"

The faces of the two of them were pale, until all they vomited was sour water, and it was difficult to stop.

"How...... What's going on......"

Zi Liangyun looked at it in shock, and looked at the dark forest outside the mansion.

The cold night wind whined, and in the darkness, it seemed that something creepy was hidden.

......

"Block the news first! Don't cause panic among the people!" Nie Zou said as he dressed.

He had already learned the news from the princess's mansion. Mu Gu, who was standing on the side, nodded, "Only the subordinates of the princess's mansion and the princess have seen it, and they have all been grounded at this time." ”

Nie Zou straightened his clothes against the bronze mirror, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Let's go!

The two of them left the mansion and rode towards the princess's mansion, followed by a group of yellow-clothed guards.

Within half a pillar of incense, Nie Zou felt the princess's mansion.

As soon as he stepped in, he asked, "Where is Yixin?"

"Back to Your Highness, in the lobby. A subordinate bowed and replied.

Nie Zou patted Mu Gu on the shoulder, "Go check the forest behind that corpse and be careful." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured. Mugu arched.

Nie Zou nodded, and hurried to the lobby, and Mu Gu was not too late to stay, and immediately rushed to the place where the body was found.

As soon as he walked into the lobby, Nie Zou saw Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan with bloodless faces, Nie Yixin stood aside in a daze, and when she saw Nie Zou coming in, she hurriedly called: "Third brother!"

"Are you alright?"

Nie Zou looked Nie Yixin up and down, and saw that she seemed to be fine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after worrying for a long time.

"I'm fine, but the two sisters ......" Nie Yixin looked at Zi Liangyun and the others worriedly, "What is there outside the wall, why doesn't Sister Zi want to tell me?"

"I've seen Your Highness. Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan's lips were pale, and they bowed weakly, and the sour water they had just vomited had already come out, and their faces were sallow at this time.

Nie Zou nodded, and said to Nie Yixin again: "Go back to sleep, you don't care about the things there." ”

"I ......"

Nie Yixin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nie Zou's quick words, "You two send the princess back." ”

"Yes. ”

The two of them took Nie Yixin away with their support.

Nie Zou breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes gradually became gloomy, and he turned around and walked towards the place where the body was found.

"Your Highness. ”

Passing by all the subordinates visited one after another, Nie Zou turned a deaf ear, and walked quickly to the plum garden in the south, where the five blood marks on the wall of the mansion were clearly visible, and under the light of the torches, it looked particularly hideous.

Nie Zou jumped onto the wall, looked down, and saw the scarlet broken corpse on the ground, no, to be precise, it should be a rotten corpse. Each piece of flesh and blood was connected by a silk thread, as if it had been torn by a wild beast, and the bones on the ground were even more terrifying.

Nie Zou jumped down, walked to the side, and asked while observing, "Where is Mu Gu?"

The yellow-clothed guard holding the torch hurriedly replied, "Master Mu has already gone to the forest to investigate. ”

Nie Zou raised his head, his gaze extending all the way along the bloodstain, falling on the dark forest.

"How can there be a barren forest here?"

"Someone has been sent to investigate!"

Nie Zou took the torch from the hand of the yellow-clothed guard, and took a picture towards the forest, the dark green leaves were stained with dark blood, and as he slowly walked in, there were still fine bones on the ground, like a beast spitting bones on the ground while walking.

Just looking at it is enough to make people's scalps tingle, no wonder Zi Liangyun and Lei Yan will react like that, this is a scene that ordinary people can bear.

"Boom"

Suddenly, there was movement in the dense forest ahead.

Nie Zou's steps were in the intention of retreating, and the torch shone at the dense bushes that were one person high, and he could see nothing but blood.

Even the yellow-clothed guards who had been trained for many years tightly held the saber at their waists, Nie Zou's eyes gradually narrowed, and his heart gradually lifted.

"Wow!"

The bushes were pushed away, and a face was suddenly revealed.

Nie Zou's expression tightened, and then he stretched out again, and said, "Mu Gu." ”

Everyone's hearts trembled suddenly, only to hear a few sneers, and the yellow-clothed guards almost pulled out their knives, thinking that something was going to come out, but it was a false alarm.

Mu Gu's eyes were extremely solemn, he did not walk through the bushes, but said, "Your Highness, please come with me!"

Nie Zou hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Hurry up and find out where this barren forest belongs." In addition, guard the princess's mansion and don't let the princess leave. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

A yellow-clothed guard received the order.

"Hmm. ”

Mu Gu pushed the bushes away, and Nie Zou stepped into the bushes, and his clothes were immediately stained with blood on the leaves.

After the sound of the rubble, as the bushes shook, the figures of the two disappeared into the dark bushes.

————————————————

In the depths of the palace, lurking a dark palace, above it, a plaque horizontally, in the moonlight, revealing a cold and pale inscription: Temple of Nothingness.

As the name suggests, except for the poor moonlight, the hall is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers, like a pool of black stagnant water, filled with abyss-like darkness.

In the dead silence, suddenly, a weak voice sounded—

"You say...... cough cough cough ...... You...... Can you help me get rid of my body...... Ahem...... Disease...... Disease?"

The voice was extremely weak, coughing from time to time, but there was a hint of desperate hope in the trembling tone.

"Hehe......" At this time, another voice pierced through the darkness, revealing a touch of playfulness, "Of course, I can not only help you get rid of tuberculosis in that body, I can also help you...... Ascend to the throne. ”

"What...... cough cough cough ...... What?" The weak voice coughed violently in disbelief.

"I never say the same thing a second time. The voice was a little colder.

"You...... Why...... Want to help me?"

"Do you remember why you became a tuberculosis ghost?"

"Of course I remember......! Be...... Chen Yun's drunken wife, that ...... Bitch, that ...... Slut!"

"Huh...... Chen Yundrunk slaughtered my whole family, I can feel all the loneliness in your darkness, so ...... I'm here to help you, leprosper...... I ask you, don't you want revenge?"

"Yes, of course I do! I ...... cough cough cough ...... I think about it all the time!"

"Huh...... Hahahaha!"

In the dark hall, the sound of arrogant laughter echoed for a long time, making the hall even more eerie.
