The silver-white crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the brilliance was sprinkled in the mist of the barren mountain, under the peaks, in the mountain stream that could not be illuminated, but it was as black as ink.

Xiao Yuchen held the jade sword and ran for more than ten miles, quietly passed through the forest, and came to the foot of Qinghu Peak. He raised his eyes and looked, and was about to move, but a slight breathing sound sounded in his ears, his body stiffened, turned around suddenly, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Seeing that no one responded, he raised his guard and slowly approached the dense weeds.

Rustling!

Something in the weeds moved quickly, Xiao Yuchen's hand holding the sword suddenly tightened, his dark pupils flashed like a cold edge, he quickly used his sword to remove the weeds, looked in, there was a slight gurgling sound in the darkness, he took out the fire fold from his arms, blew hard, the yellow faint fire reflected on his face, at the same time, his heart moved, behind the weeds, there was a cave.

The entrance to the cave was not big, just enough for one person to climb through, and there were a lot of debris on it, which seemed to have been covered with dirt, which should be to hide people's eyes and ears, and it was as if someone had just passed through the hole, and he lowered his body and shone the hole with a fire fold, and there seemed to be a hole in it, and the sound of water flowing came from it.

Biting the fire fold, he decided to go in and find out, he had a strong feeling that this place seemed to have something to do with the evil spirits of Qinghu Village.

Poking his head into the hole, there was a dense colony of ants burrowing around, it was supposed that these ants had built a nest on the dirt cover, and they had just been scattered, and he blew a few breaths to scare the ants, and then crawled inside. Maybe it's because the shoulders are a little wider, and even lying on the stomach is a little cramped.

After climbing for a while, there was a slight brightness in front of him, he bit the fire fold, and then quickly crawled forward, finally reaching the entrance of the cave.

He didn't rush out, but looked out first, the rugged stone ground was covered with a large amount of moonlight, and the brightness he saw should be the light of the moon, which was a cave with three sides concave, one side exposed under the moonlight, and there were some firewood on the ground that had just been extinguished, exuding red light and burnt smell.

Xiao Yuchen extinguished the fire and jumped out of the passage, his shoulders shook, shaking off a lot of dust on his body, he glanced around, and there was no one.

At this moment, a clear breathing sound made his hair rise, and his right hand immediately swung backwards, grabbing the shovel that was smashed towards his head, and opposite him was a young man with an angry face, dirty, with large and small scars on his face and many bare skin on his body.

Xiao Yuchen snorted, urged the true qi to shake hard, the wooden handle of the shovel exploded instantly, the young man exclaimed, his hand was also shaken away, and he fell backwards, but he got up again, and came over with a simple fist towards Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuchen took a side step, the shovel in his hand flipped rapidly, and the shovel was handed straight to the young man.

The young man's chest rose and fell, and he looked at Xiao Yuchen with resentment, "If I die, I will be a ghost, so that you dog mongrels will not die well!"

"Don't!"

A hoarse voice that had not been stained with water for more than half a month sounded, and then, a person walked out of the darkest part of the cave, at this time, Xiao Yuchen found that there was actually a cave in that dark place, but it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see it.

The leader was a scrawny old man, with a cane in his right hand and a nine-year-old boy in his left hand, walking step by step, and several people behind him were all women, some of whom were still holding a few months old babies in their arms, all of them with haggard faces and bloodless.

The old man walked up to Xiao Yuchen, looked Xiao Yuchen up and down with cloudy eyes for a while, and finally shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Yuchen frowned, threw away the shovel, and looked around at everyone, "Who are you, how could you shrink at the foot of this Qinghu Peak?"

"We are the villagers of Qinghu Village!"

"What?" Xiao Yuchen's expression was shocked, surprised, "But ......"

"Little brother, I know what you're going to say. The old man said hoarsely, glancing at the young man holding his left hand, "Xu'er has already told me, you are the companion of the group of people who were tricked into going up the mountain by Xiaohua today, right?"

Xiao Yuchen nodded, observing the child with blinking black eyes, the child was stained with fresh soil, and it should be the young man who made a movement in the grass.

"We are all poor village husbands, and the big cow was offended a lot just now, I hope you don't mind, little brother. ”

"It's okay, it's a normal human reaction. Xiao Yuchen smiled with relief, and then his voice sank, "If my guess is correct, your village shouldn't have been attacked by any evil ghosts, right?"

At the mention of this, the young man named Da Niu immediately clenched his fists, his eyes were full of hatred, and the others also lowered their heads sadly.

The old man sighed and looked at the moon outside the cave, a memory in his eyes, "Yes and no. ”

"A month ago, a group of bandits came to the village, this group of bandits didn't know what means were used, they could disguise themselves as evil ghosts, frightened the people in the village, they wantonly slaughtered our villagers, and also captured many women in the village, and killed everyone else, fortunately, Xu Er's brother went outside to learn martial arts for a few days, and worked hard with these bandits, so that we survived, and finally hid in this naturally formed cave, fortunately, there is a more secret hiding place in this cave, otherwise, I'm afraid that our people are already dead。 ”

The old man spoke softly, deep wrinkles like cracked old bark, mottled as he spoke, and some of the dozen or so villagers who were left wept.

Xiao Yuchen thought for a while and said, "You mean, these bandits can disguise themselves as real ghosts? Can you be more specific?"

"It's scented!"

Da Niu said, his teeth chattering, "I remember even if I die, there was a strange fragrance when they appeared, and that kind of fragrance Qingfeng Mountain definitely didn't have!"

"Aroma...... It's like a real illusion......" Xiao Yuchen pondered for a long time, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a bad thought appeared in his heart.

Phantom Flowers!

It is basically recorded in the ancient books of plants, this kind of flower growth environment is very harsh, although it is known on the mainland, but it is very rare to really see it, the fragrance of flowers has a great psychedelic effect, as long as you smell a little flower fragrance, it is enough to produce countless hallucinations, and, if you are a martial artist, you will feel that the qi and blood are not smooth, the true qi can not flow, and you will almost become an ordinary person, if you suck too much, it will lead to confusion, and it is likely to become a fool for the rest of your life.

If it is really this kind of flower, then Yun Qiuchang and they may already be in danger, and, looking at what happened to these villagers, these people are very lustful, and Zi Liangyun may be in even more danger, although Xiao Yuchen admits that he is not right at all for this woman, but in the matter of Licheng, Zi Liangyun's unshirkable spirit of eliminating harm for the people made him admire it in his heart.

In short, this woman also saved Pear, just for Pear's sake, she also had to save her!

What's more, his friend Yun Qiuchang and the others are also in danger, and they must not stay any longer, if they stay a little longer, they may be even more dangerous.

Xiao Yuchen stood up, seeing him like this, the old man shook his head and sighed, "Little brother, you better leave quickly, that bandit leader is much stronger than your breath, and you have no chance of winning." ”

He flipped the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, the eldest husband is a coward in danger and does not move forward, but I am not a coward." ”

"Alas...... But how are you going to deal with that strange smell...... "The old man persuaded again.

"Huh...... That's simpler, although this floral fragrance is deadly, but it is very soluble in water, I just heard that there is a murmuring of water here, presumably there is a green lake outside, right?"

The old man stopped talking, his cloudy eyes were not shocked, and at this time, Da Niu took a step forward, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I misunderstood you just now, I apologize to you, can you take me with you?"

"I'll do it alone, if three stones fall from Qinghu later, then you ...... Let's go back to the village. ”

As soon as his words fell, the villagers who had lowered their heads raised their heads, looking at him with a warm light lingering in their hearts, and the numb and desperate hearts began to gradually recover.

Xiao Yuchen watched everyone finish speaking, then turned around and walked to the edge of the cave, the jade sword in his hand swirled, although it was not unsheathed, it was still sharp, only to see a piece of cloth fall from his body, he wet it, and then covered the lower half of his face, in the eyes of everyone, he jumped to the top of the wall as soon as his body was vertical, and then stepped on the mountain stone on tiptoe, and his body climbed up.

Da Niu and Xu Er both ran to the water's edge, stretched out their heads to look up, and under the moonlight, a figure jumped among the mountains and rocks, like a vigorous night wolf, and soon, disappeared from view.

Looking at this magical scene, Xu'er asked, "Brother Niu, you say, can we really go back to the village?"

Da Niu didn't speak, he turned his head to look at the old man, only to see that the old man had sat down quietly and was quietly looking at the lake. I don't know if it's an illusion, Da Niu saw that the old man's cloudy eyes were a little brighter.

......

Qinghu Peak is not low, he continued to climb with the help of steep rocks, about a quarter of an hour, he finally reached the halfway up the mountain, just about to move, but he heard a sound from above, and his footsteps immediately stopped.

"The woman I caught today is so beautiful, it's a pity, I can only play by the boss alone!"

"Shhh......h You're right, this woman's mouth is watering just by looking at her figure, and that face is even more beautiful. ”

"That is to say, in the past, we could still drink soup, but today the boss wants to marry this woman!"

"Alas, let's go, let's go, go back to drinking, even if we don't have that kind of beauty, don't we still have a little village girl? Let's go find her to vent tonight, hehehehe......"

The voices of the two gradually drifted away, and on the mountain wall, Xiao Yuchen turned over, climbed onto the ground, and immediately hid behind the old locust tree on the side.

He turned his face sideways and glanced at it, the village was brightly lit, especially in the middle of the place, and the people were very loud, so he didn't linger much, and he took the opportunity to sneak into the village.

"Find Bai Xiaohua first, she is likely to know everyone's specific location. ”

He thought in his heart, searching most of the houses, but almost all of them were in the middle yard.

The courtyard was full of people, about thirty of them, it seemed that these bandits had gathered together, although it was a good opportunity to catch them all, but if the opposite side took Zi Liangyun and others as hostages, he would not be able to move an inch, and he could not be impulsive, he took one last look, turned around and was about to continue the search, but saw that not far away, two men were dragging a woman away, Xiao Yuchen would not admit that this woman was the white flower he saw during the day!

"Jie Ji, Xiaohua, we haven't been intimate before, the two of us will love you well tonight, hehehe!"

The two of them savagely dragged Bai Xiaohua, her face was full of tears, and she didn't even beg for mercy anymore, there was only infinite despair in her eyes.

The people who brought them during the day thought that it would be possible to save the village, but they didn't expect that they would be wiped out, which made her fall into an ice cave.

"Hey, you've got something missing. ”

A very light and cold voice sounded from behind the two drunks, the two were stunned, and slowly turned back, "What is it?"

"Life. ”
