Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Lost Hearts of the Town

"It's a beautiful view." Several people walked around the path next to the stream in the town for a long time, and Mo Xiaotong looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

On the bank of the willows, the stream is tinkling, the farmhouses are lined up, the smoke from the low smoke pipes on some roofs is slowly wafting out, the birds in the air fly in pairs, and the mandarin ducks on the water surface play in pairs.

The breeze came slowly, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and on the side of Mo Xiaotong's head, it turned out that at the end of the creek was a flower forest, with colorful petals fluttering in the wind.

Mo Xiaotong stretched out her hand, took a light purple petal, the tip of her nose was removed, the sweet aroma filled her nasal cavity, she couldn't help but praise: "It smells so good!" ”

Everything here is perfect, the only fly in the ointment is that there are too few people in the town, and they have been walking for a long time and meeting a person.

"Is it beautiful?" Gu Mo turned his head and looked around in confusion, he didn't think this place was beautiful, but he felt that this place was a little too desolate.

The ground was full of dead leaves, the willows on the side were also bare, the long branches hung down by the lifeless stream, and there was no one here, just standing here and looking straight ahead, it was really indescribably desolate.

Qi You also glanced around suspiciously, and the scene in her eyes was also a dying.

"Of course, if you look at the other side, there's a flower forest." Mo Xiaotong said, she looked at Bai Mu, her eyes flashed, if the time came, she would go there with Bai Mu to have a look.

Bai Mu was also looking at her, and he smiled and said, "Shall we go to the flower forest to have a look?" ”

"Okay!" Mo Xiaotong nodded excitedly.

"Is there a flower forest? Where are the flower forests? Gu Mo looked dazed, he looked at the forest on the other side of the stream that couldn't even see half a leaf, just bare branches, he turned his head to Qiyou and asked, "Have you seen the flower forest?" ”

Qi You shook his head.

"On the other side of the stream," Mo Xiaotong stretched out his hand to the flower forest, and said, "You see that there are many flowers of different colors." ”

Qi You and Gu Mo looked at the place where she pointed out, there was the dead forest, and there were no flowers at all.

"Well, it's beautiful, it's just that there are fewer people here." Qi You retracted his gaze and said to them, "We have been walking for a long time and we haven't seen a single person. ”

"That's right, since we haven't met anyone, we can only knock on the door and ask if we want to find something here." Gu Mo replied.

Mo Xiaotong also turned his eyes, looked at the rows of huts, pointed to one of the small smoky houses and said, "It seems that there should be someone there, should we go and have a look?" ”

Several people nodded in agreement and walked there.

After a while, the four of them were already standing outside the door, and after a short look, except for Mo Xiaotong, the other three were on guard.

Qi You's wrist flipped, the dagger appeared in her hand, and her hands were buried in the cuffs, it was very strange here, there was obviously firewood smoke floating, but she couldn't feel a trace of popularity.

Gu Mo stepped forward and knocked on the door, and asked respectfully, "Is there anyone?" ”

After knocking a few times, no one responded, Gu Mo knocked again, but no one responded.

"Excuse me, anyone? We are passers-by, and we are a little tired from walking, so can we rest our feet in there? Gu Mo said again.

But there was still no response, Gu Mo turned his head and made a look, Bai Mu hurriedly pulled Mo Xiaotong back a few steps, Qi You's head was a little, Gu Mo stretched out three fingers and gestured.

Three, two, one, broken!

He kicked the door at the same time, and at the same time a dark shadow flew past his ears, and the black dagger had already flown into the house.

Gu Mo strode forward, and when he was about to enter the door, Qi You suddenly said, "Wait a minute, there are people inside, only one person, sitting at the table." ”

"What smoke?" Gu Mo asked.

"There's no one in the kitchen." Qi Youyou replied.

"Don't worry, I'll go check it out first." Gu Mo looked at Qi You with a smile and strode into the door.

The next moment, the door began to close rapidly, and it creaked violently against the ground.

Qi You was in a mess, she glanced at Bai Mu and Mo Xiaotong, pursed her lips, and said softly: "I'll go in and have a look, and I'll come out soon." ”

Her figure flashed, through the crack in the door, the door was closed again, and only Mo Xiaotong and Bai Mu stood outside the door, they looked at each other in surprise for a moment, Mo Xiaotong asked, "Then should we go in?" ”

Bai Mu looked at the hut that was still lifeless and motionless, and said, "Wait for a stick of incense, if they don't come out of a stick of incense, let's go and see it first." ”

******

Gu Mo leaned against the corner of the wall, poked his head out slightly, and looked at the person at the table.

There were 'sumptuous' dishes on the table, Gu Mo frowned and held his breath, the rancid taste of this dish was too strong.

As if he didn't notice anything, he was eating alone, and there was a bowl of rice in front of him, but there was no one in his seat.

From time to time, he carried the food to the opposite bowl, while he himself was eating, his movements were very light, and he did not make a sound the whole time.

At this time, Qi You was squatting on the beam, her hands were clenched with the black dagger, her eyes were a little red, this person was indeed moving, but there was no life, like a puppet numbly doing a few repetitive movements.

The kitchen fireplace was getting thicker and thicker, and the fire was splashing on the nearby straw pile, making a hissing sound.

Qi You and Gu Mo's eyes were thinking about the kitchen at the same time, the pile of straw had to be removed, otherwise the sparks were splashing, and it would definitely burn.

And the man sitting at the table eating still did not move, eating his meal seriously.

The sparks hissed louder and louder, and Qi You swallowed his saliva, he had to act, otherwise the back kitchen would be on fire.

When another spark flew towards the straw pile, Qi Youyou spun on tiptoe and jumped forward.

Gu Mo also rushed to the back kitchen at the same time, but as soon as he stepped out of his legs, the whole person froze in place, sweat the size of a bean dot came out from his forehead, and he stretched out his hand to Qi You's figure.

Don't go over, that man is deceiving again!

He didn't shout these words, he gritted his teeth, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and he leaped forward with the sword in his hand.

Qi You suddenly felt a chill behind her, and subconsciously turned around, only to see that the person at the table was turning his head to look at her, and the pair of expressionless but black and white eyes came into her eyes.

Qi You hurriedly turned around and stepped on the wall, directly holding the dagger and slashing at the man.

Her hands trembled slightly, the man was human but not human, his neck was a normal human body, but his head was made of paper.

She had heard that there were spiritual and conscious paper figures in the land of the six suns of the underworld, but she had never heard of this half-paper person in front of her.

The man stood up directly, and the wooden chopsticks in his hand came out of his hand and flew towards Qi You's neck.

The distance between Qiyou and the person was not far, and the wooden chopsticks were already in front of Qiyou, she hurriedly waved her hand, wanting to sweep the chopsticks aside, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the wooden chopsticks had turned into a poisonous needle, and the poisonous needle was still flashing with a faint blue light.

Qi You couldn't hit her, and immediately dodged to the side, and the poisonous needle slashed through her neck and stabbed into the wall.

She gasped, she had seen this trick, it was the transient change of all things of the Four Seasons Sect, the poison on this needle, she also knew that it was the unique venom of the Four Seasons Sect, an idiot dream, this poison was practiced by herself when she was still in the Four Seasons Sect.

Unfortunately, there was no antidote on her, but fortunately, the dose used by the man was not large, and it was not fatal.

Qi You stared at the man's every move in front of her, she knew in her heart that he was indeed a member of the Four Seasons Sect, but he was no longer conscious, he was just fighting by feeling.

She quickly took out a sign from her pocket, stretched out her hand and said loudly: "Junior, Four Seasons Pie, Qi You!" ”

But the man did not fluctuate, and he actually held the dagger in one hand, the blade was already dark blue, and Qi You's face changed, and the dose of this poison was enough to kill.

She stood firm, ignoring the fact that the wound on her neck was blackening, and a dark red flashed in her eyes, she jumped lightly, her hands were already empty, and the two black daggers trembled and flashed countless doppelgangers, aiming at the man's face and slashing at it.

The face tied with paper looks too terrible, so it's better to pierce it first.

Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce into it, the man's head suddenly shrank, turning into tissue paper and lying on his neck, and at the same time, behind Qi You's back, a small hand tied with paper suddenly stretched out, holding a dark blue blade in his hand, and stabbed directly at Qi You's back abdomen.

"Qi You!" Gu Mo rushed into it with a shout, and in a hurry, he grabbed Qi You and dodged the knife.

"Qi You, listen to me, I can see clearly, this person is no longer human, he is gradually becoming a thing of the Nine Shadows of the Underworld." Gu Mo pulled Qi You to dodge a series of hidden weapons and said.

"Nine Shadows? Isn't it Liuyang? ”

"No, the paper man in the land of the six suns will not have such a strong murderous aura, he is obviously too resentful to completely turn into a paper man." Gu Mo pulled Qi You and jumped behind the cupboard, as soon as his feet landed, the formation on the ground was instantaneous, emitting a pale golden light.

Gu Mo said again: "This is the formation I just drawn, you stay inside." ”

As soon as he turned around, he went straight at the monster that was rushing towards them with teeth and claws, wielding his long sword, and for a moment it was difficult to distinguish between the two sides.

Qi You squinted at the two phantoms that were constantly intertwined in front of her, sure enough, this Gu Mo was not cultivating the way of immortal medicine, but it was also strange, since he lied at the time, why didn't he cover it up now, and exposed it so directly in front of her eyes?

Forget it, I don't have time to think about this now, let's fight with him first!

She wiped her fingers lightly against the wound on her neck, and then wiped the blade of the dagger, and the figure flashed directly above the head of the paper tie.

"Help me control his range of motion!" Qi Yougao drank.

Gu Mo was not surprised to see her out of the formation, and cooperated with her seriously, the long sword in his hand turned several times, and one after another icicles shot out, just sealing the paper head.

Seeing this, Qi You's three daggers were sacrificed at the same time, but the original bright red dagger was now also black.

With a finger of her hand, the dagger stabbed straight at the tip of the paper head.

The first one pierced, and the head shattered.

The second pierced in, colluding with the internal organs.

The third pierced and penetrated directly.

Qi You turned over and slowly fell to the ground, ignoring the bloody breath on the dagger, and after picking it up, he stabbed the man's heart again.

The man shook a few times and fell to the ground, still not making a sound.

Qi You stepped forward, squatting next to the corpse and frowning to investigate, Gu Mo was standing next to her.

"How did this man become like this?" Qi You asked.

Gu Mo didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on Qi You's neck, which was originally a small wound, but now that the flesh around the wound had completely rotted, he still couldn't help but reach out and touch Qi You's neck.

"What are you doing?"
