Wei Jiuxiao didn't pay attention to Yu Miao Miao for two days in a row, and the team still stayed in the village, with no intention of leaving.

Yu Miaomiao was a little hairy.

What did he want to do like this?

It's better to scold yourself directly, if you are so muffled, you are going to suffocate people.

But she hasn't been idle in the past few days, and she keeps trying with the peach blossom hairpin she picked up, wanting to see that ghost thing again, little girl.

But she never succeeded, and finally had to find Mei Ruhua again.

"Don't you know, the princess doesn't know, there is a magic circle at the entrance of the village here, and ghosts outside can't enter." Mei Ru said picturesquely.

Yu Miaomiao was surprised, "The soul master they invited?" ”

Mei Ruhua shook her head, "There is a soul master in the village, and the prince has been secretly investigating this matter in the past few days, and the magic circle outside the village looks a little strange, not like an ordinary magic circle, with some evil energy." ”

"Do you have to go outside the village if you want to see Xiao Tao?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

Mei Ruhua nodded.

Yu Miaomiao immediately left the inn with Jing Yijing.

Mei Ruhua also followed them, and when she went downstairs, she happened to see Wei Jiuxiao standing in the courtyard, talking to the head of the guard, Kong Zhen.

Yu Miaomiao looked at him with blank eyes, only to find that Wei Jiuxiao didn't notice her at all.

On the contrary, the guards standing behind Wei Jiuxiao glanced at her one by one, as if they were hinting at something.

Yu Miaomiao was confused.

When she walked past Wei Jiuxiao, she deliberately stopped and wanted to speak, but Wei Jiuxiao turned around directly, and went upstairs without looking at her.

Yu Miaomiao was a little deflated, and shouted at the top of her voice: "What do you want me to do, if you are not happy, just tell me, you don't say how I know what you want me to do, you only know what I should do when you say it"

Wei Jiuxiao's footsteps on the stairs stagnated slightly, but he still didn't stop, and finally he disappeared at the end of the stairs.

The guards sighed repeatedly.

Yu Miaomiao stomped her feet hatefully, "Okay, if you have a kind, you will ignore me for the rest of your life." ”

After saying that, she turned around, "Let's go." ”

Mei Ruhua and Jing Yijing left the inn with her.

They just walked on their front feet. Later, Ming Ruyan hurriedly chased after her, and arranged for five guards to go out to protect Yu Miaomiao.

"The princess is really, she doesn't apologize to the prince when she gets into trouble."

The guards sighed.

"Our princess really has to change her temperament."

Yu Miaomiao didn't know that Wei Jiuxiao secretly sent someone to follow them, and she went straight to the entrance of the village.

Before the entrance of the village, I suddenly saw a few villagers wearing filial piety clothes on the opposite path, carrying a coffin, hurrying in their steps, and also went straight to the entrance of the village.

Yu Miaomiao felt strange.

Although she doesn't know much about the rules of this world, she has seen it when she does white things, and she hasn't been so sneaky.

She took Mei Ruhua and Jing Yijing to follow these people from a distance. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the men laying down their coffins and saluting a man in a robe with a mask on his face.

The masked man first drew intricate patterns on the ground around the coffin, and then took out a few pieces of rune paper from his bosom and pasted them on top of the coffin.

"This person is the soul of the village." Mei Ruhua said.

Yu Miaomiao looked at that person carefully, because he had a mask on his face, so she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

After the masked man drew the circle, he took out a slender wooden nail and opened the coffin by the people wearing filial piety clothes.

Yu Miaomiao watched as the masked man stepped into the coffin.

"What is he going to do here?" Yu Miaomiao was puzzled.

However, the next second, she suddenly understood what she was about to see.

The masked man held up the wooden peg in his hand. Stabbed at the person in the coffin.

I rub it, it's bloody.

You can't just look at it.

Yu Miaomiao wanted to cover her eyes, but she didn't want to miss this strange scene.

Fortunately, there was a coffin in the way, and she couldn't see the tragic situation inside the coffin.

After seeing the mask man pierce the wooden nail into the body of the deceased, he scattered several pieces of rune paper inside the coffin.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Mei Ruhua say: "Princess, look there." ”

A black gas gradually rose from the coffin, and the black gas seemed to be forced by some invisible force and torn away from the coffin.

The masked man stepped out of the coffin at this time, and did not bother with the wooden nails pierced in the corpse. Just let those people put the coffin back on.

The men knelt down and kowtowed to the masked man, who stood motionless and received their great salute.

Then the people dressed in filial piety clothes carried the coffin back to the village.

Yu Miaomiao stared intently at the black gas that was forced out of the coffin.

Seeing that the coffin was gone, Hei Qi seemed to want to follow, but it couldn't pass through the entrance of the village, and it could only wander around the village in vain again and again.

"What's going on?" Yu Miaomiao asked Mei Ruhua.

Mei Ruhua twisted her beard, squinted her eyes slightly, and said with disdain, "This is a custom in the village, every deceased must be carried out of the village before the soul is stopped, so that the soul master can disperse the souls that have not yet dispersed in the corpse, and then they can be buried in the cemetery behind the mountain." ”

"Why?" Yu Miaomiao was puzzled.

"Normally, the soul of the deceased will rest after going to Tibet, which is what people usually call entering the earth, but there are also quite a few souls of the deceased who are unwilling and will wander around after entering the earth." Mei Ruhua explained.

"Or follow the enemies they hated when they were alive, or follow the people they loved the most during their lifetime, so they will bring trouble to the living, so the practice in the village is that regardless of whether the souls of the deceased can be reincarnated smoothly, they must be scattered first, so as not to be buried in the back mountain and haunt all day long, which is why the mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the environment is pleasant."

Mei Ruhua looked at the green mountains in the distance and twisted her beard, "There are no ghosts in the village, and all ghosts have been driven out in advance by the soul master in the village." ”

It sounds like a good thing, and the village is safe from ghosts.

But Yu Miaomiao frowned.

She always felt that this way was too ruthless.

She had also existed in the form of a soul, and knew the feeling of helplessness and helplessness.

But fortunately, she still had her own body to Yiping at that time.

If you are kicked out of your body, it is like a gust of wind, and you don't know where it will be blown or where it will stay.

The masked man walked towards them, his gaze falling on Miao Miao's body.

Yu Miaomiao looked back at the other party fearlessly.

The man's face was wearing a wooden mask, which was very rough, and only one eye was exposed, which was a little frightening.

Yu Miaomiao didn't show any frightened expression.

Because she has seen too many "terrible" events a long time ago.

Even the Soul Guide once shared a body with her. What's so scary about these ordinary ghosts.

The masked man came to Yu Miaomiao and looked at her deeply.

"You'd better get out of here as soon as possible." He spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if he had been wounded in the throat, "Guests with ghosts are not welcome here. ”

Yu Miaomiao glanced at him disdainfully, "Who said we carried ghosts." ”

Three thousand crows killed it as a holy thing, and this soul master in the countryside would not even be able to distinguish between a holy object and a ghost thing.

"I'm talking about the man." The masked man said coldly.

Yu Miaomiao was stunned, but quickly realized who the other party was referring to.

He's talking about Wei Jiuxiao?

His ghost hand was restrained by the ghost talisman. But he still can't escape the eyes of the soul master.

"He's not some." Yu Miaomiao said unhappily, "Are you really a soul master, why can't you even tell the difference between the dead and the living, how long do your eyes go?"

The masked man's aura changed suddenly, "Whether it's a dead person or a living person, as long as there is a ghost on his body, sooner or later he will be a dead person, and we don't welcome that kind of person here." You'd better get out of here as soon as possible, lest it end up unpleasant. ”

After speaking, he stepped into the village and ignored Yu Miaomiao and the three of them.

Yu Miaomiao hugged her shoulders and sneered, "Tsk, he really took the village chief as a cadre, who did he think he was, Mei Ruhua, you see if he is really a soul master." is still a charlatan who cheats to eat and drink. ”

Mei Ruhua pulled her beard and muttered for a long time, "Mmmm"

"Did you say something?" Yu Miaomiao said in annoyance, "Hmm" for a long time, as if she couldn't pull it out, annoying herself.

Mei Ruhua nodded, "He is indeed a soul master, although the aura on his body is a little strange." ”

"What's strange?" Yu Miaomiao was interested.

Mei Ruhua first nodded, then shook her head, "It's hard to say." ”

Yu Miaomiao gave him a big white eye.

In my opinion, you are a fake soul master, you can't be happy when you see a corpse, you can eat while dissecting, how strong your nerves are.

The three of them left the entrance of the village and walked towards the small river outside the village.

Yu Miaomiao took out the peach blossom hairpin on her waist, and then looked around.

"Is my sister looking for me?" A playful girl appeared in front of her.

Yu Miaomiao blinked.

She was not mistaken, the girl in front of her was the one she had seen before.

Rolled up your fingers and bit it in your mouth, which was good. It doesn't hurt at all.

"It hurts!" Jing Yijing, who was beside him, exhaled in pain, "Princess, why did you bite me." ”

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts."

"Good, it's not a dream." Yu Miaomiao nodded solemnly.

Jing Yijing looked down at the deep tooth marks left on his fingers, and he was about to bleed.

"Princess, why don't you bite your own finger."

"My teeth are too good to be able to contain them." Yu Miaomiao said easily.

As soon as these words came out, Jing Yijing and Mei Ruhua silently distanced themselves from her.

Princess, this is not good, we are also in a group, you just talk to your own people like this, it is too cold.

Yu Miaomiao didn't have time to pay attention to the grievances of the two of them, and came to the girl, "This is your hairpin?" ”

The girl smiled and nodded.

"Your name is Peach?"

"yes, how does my sister know my name?"

"It was Cheng Qi who told me." Yu Miaomiao lied.

"You know Brother Chengqi!" Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and suddenly dimmed again, "Cheng Qi has been ignoring me for some reason recently, he used to be good to me, but now no matter what I tell him, he ignores me and doesn't look at me, I want to go home, but I can't enter the village"

Yu Miaomiao only felt a slight chill in her heart.

Mei Ruhua said well, Xiao Tao really didn't know that she was dead.

"Chengqi, who are you?" Yu Miaomiao said tentatively.

Xiao Tao's face turned red all of a sudden, "He's me"

Before Xiao Tao finished speaking, a noisy footstep suddenly came from behind Yu Miaomiao.

"Found it, it's her!"

Yu Miaomiao just turned her head, only to see a group of villagers rushing over here, led by a woman in her forties, with red eyes, coming up and pulling Yu Miaomiao.

Fortunately, the guards arranged by Wei Jiuxiao had already been guarding the entrance of the village, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately stepped forward to stop them.

However, there were too many villagers, and they couldn't directly draw their swords to confront each other, so the woman at the head broke free from the guards, rushed over like crazy, and slapped Yu Miaomiao's face.

With a "pop" sound, the peach blossom hairpin in Yu Miaomiao's hand fell to the ground and fell in half.

"My daughter!" The woman knelt down and took the hairpin in both hands, and wept aloud.

Yu Miaomiao covered her face, and it hurt hotly.

It's not a dream, my sister is so beaten!

Looking down at the woman who was crying loudly, she almost lost her breath.

The person who was beaten was me, okay, you cry.

"Where did you get my daughter, where did you catch my little peach, you don't return her. I'm fighting with you! Saying that, the woman cried and got up, and she had to fight with Yu Miaomiao.

Yu Miaomiao was not so honest, standing there waiting for someone to fight.

She quickly backed away behind Mei Ruhua.

"These villagers all have madness, it seems that they can be cured, but if they are infected, it will be troublesome." While avoiding the woman, she deliberately raised her voice and said to Mei Ruhua, "When we go back, tell the prince that I am afraid that this village will not be able to stay, so it is better to burn it down to save the infection of madness." ”

She has a loud voice. Even though the scene was chaotic, the villagers heard it.

"What Wang, Lord?"

"What madness did she just say"

One by one, the villagers looked puzzled.

The five guards saw a clear slap mark on Yu Miaomiao's face, and their bowels were blue.

I knew it would be so big, so they might as well do it directly.

Now that the princess has been beaten, the prince is not sure what to do with them when he goes back.

The guards drew their swords and pointed them directly at the most troublesome people.

"Hey, I'll kill it later." Yu Miaomiao shouted.

Hearing this, the villagers came back to their senses.

Are you really going to kill them?

"Get on your knees." The guards shouted.

The woman holding the peach hairpin was completely blindfolded.

Why is the scene in front of him different from what Cheng Qi said?

Yu Miaomiao came to the woman and took half of the peach blossom hairpin from her hand.

"Cheng Qi instigated you to come, right?" Yu Miaomiao looked at the broken hairpin, her eyes were full of coldness, "Did he tell you that Xiao Tao was captured by us back then?" ”

The woman looked up at her with resentment in her eyes.

"You traffickers"

"!" Yu Miaomiao waved her hand and smashed half of the hairpin on the woman, "Don't you all have brains, we have nothing to do with the little girl in your village, how old was your daughter when she was caught, look at how old we are, do you have a pig arch in your brains, oh no, you can't insult a pig like this"

The faces of the villagers were contorted.

"What, dissatisfied?" Yu Miaomiao glared at a few unconvinced villagers, "Say that you don't have a long brain and are not convinced, Xiao Tao's soul has been wandering outside your village for so many years, isn't there a soul master in your village, didn't he tell you?" ”

The woman's eyes widened in horror, "You, you mean my little peach is dead?" No, it can't be obvious that you captured her, and you still have her hairpin in your hand."

"I fished the hairpin out of the river." Yu Miaomiao said, "And Xiao Tao's soul is still there, if you don't believe it, I can let her show up." ”

The villagers gasped.

Yu Miaomiao noticed that at this moment, their faces all changed, and the villagers who came to settle accounts with themselves angrily a moment ago, and wanted to save Xiao Tao, all showed frightened expressions when they heard that they could see Xiao Tao's soul.

"Well, I have a soul master here." Yu Miaomiao pointed at Mei Ruhua, "I don't know how his skills compare to the person in your village, I only know that person knows that Xiao Tao's soul is outside the village early on, but he has never told you." ”

The woman shrank back timidly, "No, the little peach won't become a ghost, no"

Yu Miaomiao glanced at Mei Ruhua.

The old man understood, cleared his throat, and took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, "Since you don't believe me, then I will summon Xiao Tao's soul and let her tell you in person." ”

He took half of the peach blossom hairpin and pasted the talisman paper on it.

A shallow shadow appeared in front of people.

"Little Peach?" The expression on the woman's face turned from horror to ecstasy, and she rushed forward in a few steps, as if trying to hug her daughter, when she was pulled by the villagers behind her.

"She's a ghost, don't go over."

The woman's movements froze.

Yes, her daughter was only six years old when she disappeared.

The little peach in front of him still maintains the appearance of the year, how can he be a living person.

The woman began to weep.

"Okay, okay, what are you crying about, I haven't cried yet." Yu Miaomiao said sarcastically, "It just so happens that she is here, you ask her what happened back then, so as not to deduct the basin on someone else's body again, I think that soul master in your village may also be a fake who can only deceive people." ”

"Master Ichimoku doesn't lie." The villagers shouted angrily.

"Master Ichimoku has protected our village, and if it weren't for him, how could our village be so peaceful. No ghost will dare to come close. ”

Master Ichimoku?

Well, that's a fitting name, he really only has one eye on his mask.

Yu Miaomiao slandered in her heart.

Xiao Tao ignorantly told her what happened before, and the villagers all fell silent when they heard it.

It turned out that Xiao Tao went to the back mountain with Cheng Qi, originally it was a forbidden place in the village, who knew that Cheng Qi had to go there to catch fish, the two entered the back mountain Cheng Qi fell into the water, Xiao Tao went to rescue, I don't want her to be alone. After helping Chengqi climb ashore, he had no strength.

After Cheng Qi came back, he didn't dare to tell others, and lied that Xiao Tao was arrested by a group of unknown people.

Who knew that the real little peach had already turned into a ghost and wandered outside the village.

When the woman heard this, she wept incessantly.

Yu Miaomiao frowned.

She obviously picked up the hairpin in the river outside the village, if Xiao Tao was drowned behind the mountain, how did the hairpin fall into the river outside the village.

"The small river outside the village is connected to the water source of the back mountain?" Yu Miaomiao asked the villagers.

"The water in the back mountain can't flow down the mountain, and there is a deep lake there, which will not be full even if it rains heavily, and it will not dry up even if it is dry."

It sounded like some Shinto, but Yu Miaomiao was even more confused.

Could it be that who secretly went to the back mountain and caught this hairpin in the lake?

No, if it's a person from the village, if you catch a hairpin, you will definitely tell Xiao Tao's mother about it, and it's impossible to hide it.

Yu Miaomiao had a question mark in her stomach, but she finally solved her "hell" matter, and she stopped caring about the villagers, and took Mei Ruhua and them back to the village.

"Princess, your face," one of the guards couldn't help but say.

Yu Miaomiao touched her face, the woman's strength was really not small, and the beating was still a little painful.

"When I go back, the prince will ask." The guards grimaced one by one.

"Okay, I know, I'll just say I did it myself, okay."

Everyone looked at each other, "King, princess, we didn't mean that." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not a princess in the first place, and those people didn't mean it. I can't let you really cut people down, it's just a misunderstanding. ”

This slap can only be regarded as her self-admitting bad luck.

I wanted to sneak back and put a cold compress on my face and it would be fine.

But when she returned to the inn, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she immediately felt countless eyes: the guards were all staring at her, and their eyes were like searchlights.

The princess's little face is called white, and the red marks on her face are called clear.

It's like it's painted on it.

Yu Miaomiao glared back at them fiercely.

It's all idle and nothing to do, right, see what I do! I think my eyes are in the way, right?

She quickened her pace and went upstairs, but the door to the second floor opened, so she didn't want to die, and the person she least wanted to see walked out head-on.

Wei Jiuxiao!

Quickly bowed his head, and when he passed by him, Yu Miaomiao's knees bent rarely, made a gesture of greeting, and called: "Lord Wang." ”

Wei Jiuxiao's lips pursed.

This scene was so weird that even Ming Ruyan, who was standing behind, was shocked.

When did their princess, the princess of the red carp, learn such rules!

"Stop." Wei Jiuxiao coldly called Yu Miaomiao, who was about to enter the next room.

Yu Miaomiao stood still.

"What's wrong with your face?" Wei Jiuxiao directly grabbed her jaw and forced her to raise her head.

The red marks on the face are clearly visible.

I ignored her for several days, but I didn't expect the first sentence he took the initiative to speak because of this.

For no reason, Yu Miaomiao's eyes turned red.

"You don't care what's wrong with my face, you're ignoring me anyway," she turned to remove her jaw from the other's hand.

When she said this, she was obviously lacking in confidence, her voice was like a mosquito calling, and she was aggrieved.

The dark light in Wei Jiuxiao's eyes dimmed, and he reached out and grabbed her into his arms.

"It's still hard-mouthed, if you stay honest, how can you cause so many things." If it weren't for the fire cloud beads in her body, she would have been stewed into fish soup long ago.

"I think I'm too busy, so I'll stay in the fish tank from now on."

"That's not going to work." Wei Jiuxiao raised one side of her eyebrows, "This king has to make a fish tank with a cage to be able to prevent it." ”
