Wuge stood in front of the bun shop and watched the people coming and going on the street, a little stunned.

There was still wet sweat in her hands, but the Koukou, who had been walking with her, seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Not long after, Mo Xingran and Bamboo rushed to Wuge's side.

"Childe, I want to eat steamed buns. Bamboo looked at the chubby buns that had just come out of the oven, and his saliva was almost dripping to the ground.

Mo Xingran turned a deaf ear, stretched out his slender five fingers and shook them in front of Wuge, seeing that she came back to her senses suddenly, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Kou her, gone. ”

A big living person, in broad daylight, disappeared...

Mo Xingran was silent, because he thought of a possibility, 'Smoker'...

Since entering the Crowning Moon Country, he has learned that not all of the people in this array can drive smoke, and those who have this ability are only a small number of royal relatives and nobles.

In other words, it is precisely because these people can drive smoke that they have become 'human beings'.

Other than that, everything here is like the outer continent, a real and rich country.

"Have you ever thought that maybe Kou Ko she... It's not human. Mo Xingran whispered in a deep voice.

Da Jingyuan sent Kou Ko to Wu Ge's side, he observed this thin woman's every move, and he found that Kou Koko's body was not ordinary weak, but he couldn't see any clues with excellent medical skills.

It seems that she was born so sickly.

"What are you kidding, Kou Ko gets along with me day and night, she's not human, I don't think you're human!"

In the past few days, Kou Kou has taken care of her meticulously, and she has regarded Kou Kou as her sister.

"I'm going to look for her. Before the words fell, Wuge instantly disappeared into the crowd on the street.

"Wait, I'm with you. Mo Xingran chased after him, turned his back and shouted: "Zhuzi, you are waiting for the second brother and them here, if we don't return at noon, you take them out of the city first." ”

Bamboo scratched his little head and nodded: "But, but I don't know the way!"

Looking at the past, the two of them could no longer be found in the crowded crowd on the street.

The little face changed to an excited look, turned his head to the boss of the bun shop and shouted: "Boss, I want ten meat buns, first on credit." ”

——————

In the morning, in the Mianyue Palace, the glazed tiles on the building reflect the morning glow, different from the fireworks in the market, there is not even a bird in the sky above the huge palace, and there are only soldiers wearing cold armor on the palace road, and they are in a neat team shuttling and patrolling.

In the Xuanji Palace, the silver glass collapsed, Ji Sheng's silver hair was scattered, his mind was wide open, his head was supported with oblique hands, and his eyes were slightly squinted.

There was a person kneeling down, and he said softly: "National teacher, they are about to leave the city." ”

Hearing this, Ji Sheng slowly opened his eyes, groaned, waved his sleeves, and pushed the man back.

As the doors of the palace closed, he stood up and walked slowly to the bronze mirror, stroking his face in front of it.

Hmph, how many years he has seen this face, but he still never gets tired of looking at it.

The expression on his face suddenly distorted, and his handsome face became evil like a ghost.

With a wave of his wide sleeves, there was a loud bang, and the bronze mirror smashed to the ground, and the mirror was smashed out of a big hole.

The two maids guarding outside the door turned a deaf ear, as if they were not surprised, and always hung their heads and stood quietly.

Ji Sheng in the hall laughed madly, and the laughter turned from thick to faint, and finally turned into a silent sob.

At this moment, his expression was sad and implied with excitement, and his voice was hoarse like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves: "Is it difficult to disobey the destiny of heaven? I want to see how you can still endure me!"

He raised his hand and pointed directly at the beam, and after a while, the expression on his face became indifferent and detached again, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

snapped his fingers, and after a while, a thick cloud of smoke poured in through the crack in the door, and the entire empty Xuanji Hall was wrapped in this thick smoke, and the smoke was filled, and things became unclear.

An empty voice came from all directions: "How?" This voice seemed to come from a distant ancient time, rough and ethereal.

Ji Sheng smiled: "I have tested it, and her blood is indeed 'Yin and Yang Blood'." ”

The thick smoke rushed in the hall in an instant, carrying gusts of wind, lifting the lampstands, tables and chairs in the hall in all directions.

"Don't be too happy, know that if things don't work out, you and I will die. Ji Sheng smiled away, and the expression in his eyes was extremely solemn.

Hearing this, the smoke stopped: "In that case, then why did you still let her go?" The smoke suddenly gathered into a hollow and terrifying giant eye in midair, like a huge black hole, staring deeply at Ji Sheng.

"If she doesn't leave, those who want to kill me won't show their feet, and if they don't find out these people, how can I carry out the 'rain prayer ceremony' with peace of mind? And you, how long can you wait? Swallow the sky..."Ji Sheng said word by word, squinting his eyes and staring at the giant eye in mid-air.

A trace of panic flashed in that giant eye, and in an instant, thick smoke billowed and surged, and it turned into a scarlet gluttonous mouth, and the blood basin opened and closed widely: "If I don't get the 'Yin Yang Blood', it won't be long before I will fall asleep again." ”

The air was still for a moment, and seeing that Ji Sheng didn't react, his dull voice was mixed with anger: "Hmph, why do you think you can become a monster in this ancient 'Soul Sacrifice Great Array', if you don't have me, how can you 'Yan Clan' have a foothold in this world." The cold threat in his tone made the temperature in the Xuanji Hall drop a few points.

The silver-haired man raised his eyebrows imperceptibly: "Ji Sheng must be as soon as possible." He lowered his head, and his words were not without sincerity.

As if receiving a satisfactory answer, in a few breaths, the smoke dispersed, and the Xuanji Hall slowly returned to its usual tranquility.

Seeing Ji Sheng raise his head, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he whispered: "Hmph, even the livestock he raises are so arrogant." ”

He brushed his sleeve robe absently, pushed open the door of the Xuanji Palace, and strode out.

—————

Wu Ge and Mo Xingran shuttled through the crowd of people rushing to the market in the morning, turned a few streets full of people, and as they walked, a dark and narrow alley appeared in front of them.

The two of them walked in by surprise.

At this moment, Wuge leaned against the mottled tile wall, looked up and sighed: "What is the difference between looking for a needle in a haystack like this." ”

After a busy morning, I saw that the sun was already shining, and it was almost noon, and the unique scorching sunlight in the desert made people feel suffocated.

Suddenly, Wuge felt a burst of coolness, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere in the alley.

A creepy voice came from the depths of the alley: "Are you looking for me?"

Behind the wall in the distance, two blurred figures slowly appeared.

Mo Xingran took Wuge's hand and dragged her behind her back: "Be careful." His expression was solemn, and this figure felt somewhat familiar to him.

"Yo, the old man is also there. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Ge reacted when he saw that the person in the dark alley was Jing Yuan.

"You, what happened to Koko?"

There was also a shorter figure beside Jing Yuan, looking at the thin figure, it looked like a coco.

It's just that she walks crookedly at this time, like a doll, and her steps are stiff and unnatural.

"What will I do with her? You see, isn't that good? Jing Yuan's voice was as usual and made people listen to it very differently.

In a few breaths, the two of them walked from the depths of the dark alley to the front of the Singing Ink Star.

"Coco, Coco?" Wuge whispered after seeing it clearly.

Coco didn't react, her eyes were empty, her eyes were wide open, her neck was crooked and expressionless, she looked like a silent 'dead thing'.

Wu Ge panicked, rushed out from Mo Xingran's wide back, shook off his slender hand, walked in front of Jing Yuan in three or two steps, and asked sharply, "What's wrong with her?!"

The expression on her face was extremely cruel, and she didn't allow anyone to hurt the people she valued.

Mo Xingran stepped forward and pressed her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "She's fine, she's just temporarily lost her soul." ”

"You see, it's still your old friend who is well-informed, yes, she's lost her soul. Jing Yuan said unhurriedly, with a bit of sarcasm in his words.

As he spoke, he took something out of his bosom and handed it to the singer.

It was a small, translucent bottle, and when he saw what was inside, Wuge's breathing was a little unsmooth.

It contained a withered little thumb!

Her hand shook and she nearly dropped the bottle to the ground.

Jing Yuan stretched out his big hand and caught it steadily in mid-air: "Holy Maiden, you have to keep this, if this bottle is broken, this Kou Ko Ke will die." ”

He pointed to Koukou beside him, and looked at Wuge for a long time.

Wu Ge's eyes were terrified when he heard this, "What do you mean by this?"

Jing Yuan stared ghostly at Mo Xingran beside her: "I don't need to say it, I think this son can answer you." ”

Wuge turned his head to look at Mo Xingran in a bit of a daze, and saw that his good-looking handsome face had a solemn look.

He raised his hand and pointed to the wall beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Wuge, have you noticed, Coco's shadow is not on the ground, but on the wall." ”

In the scorching sun, the shadows of the three people stretched obliquely on the ground for a long time, but there were four people present, and the figure of one of them was a faint reflection on the mottled wall...

"Yes, she is not the same person as us. Jing Yuan looked at Wuge meaningfully, "Have you ever heard of 'ghost smoke'?"

Without waiting for the two of them to reply, he said: "There are thousands of kinds of 'smoke masters', all of which are refined by living beings, but one of them is very special. He paused, narrowed his eyes at Wuge's stunned expression, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's 'ghost smoke', they are not refined by living beings, but ghosts. ”

Mo Xingran pondered, and in this way, everything made sense.

Since it is a ghost, it must be different from the physical signs of a person, so it is normal for him not to see the clue.

"'Ghost smoke' is a semi-finished product, and it is also a defective product, and they should not exist. In a trance, Jing Yuan's voice became dull, as if he remembered something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"What do you mean by telling us this? Mo Xingran asked coldly, he saw that Wu Ge clenched his fists at this time, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"What's the purpose? I don't mean to, I just want to tell the Holy Maiden that she was killed alive and made into a 'ghost smoke'. Speaking of this, Jing Yuan's facial features became distorted.

His voice was like a sharp blade, cutting Wuge's heart with a blunt knife.

No wonder, no wonder when Kou Kou heard that she was a 'demon', she told her so firmly that she would always accompany her, no song was just a little girl's whim, it turned out that she was empathetic!

Wuge gritted her teeth: "Why was she killed and made into 'ghost smoke'?"

"It's ridiculous to say, because the ability of our 'smoke clan' to drive away smoke is declining, and the national teacher has ordered that those who can find a way out can share the supreme glory in the quicksand universe with him, and jointly rule this huge universe. His voice was a little weak.

Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Koukou's hand, his eyes were full of incomprehensible affection: "Do you know? ”

At noon, the sun is in full bloom.

Outside the dark alley, there was a lot of noise, and in the dark alley, Wu Ge clearly saw that Coco's pale and empty eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears, and the tears rolled down and fell on the man's hand.

"I ate her flesh alive. ”
