Hearing the word "ghost army", everyone's face immediately changed...

Yu Miaomiao anxiously wanted to get rid of Wei Jiuxiao and go to the lake to see clearly, but Wei Jiuxiao held her arm tightly.

The three guards climbed ashore, shivering as they got ashore because of the cold water.

"There were a lot of corpses sinking underwater, but the light was too dark to see." The guard said.

"It looks like we'll have to wait until dawn." Mei Ruhua sighed.

Wei Jiuxiao nodded, and was about to open his mouth when he heard the sound of wings flapping.

"It's three thousand back!" Yu Miaomiao shouted.

Three thousand crows flew down from the sky, still clutching something at their feet.

Yu Miaomiao took it and found that it was a wooden mask, and only one eye was exposed on the mask.

"It's a master of Ichimoku!" Yu Miaomiao exclaimed, "Three thousand, have you seen Master Yimoku?" ”

The three thousand crows were all killed on Miao Miao's shoulder, "That strange man is gone." ”

"Why is it gone?" Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that even Sanqian would miss a moment, you must know that the other party is just an ordinary person, and not a ghost and a resentful spirit, how could it be gone.

The three thousand crows shook their wings, "There is a mysterious woman who helped him, it is the woman in white who was assassinated by the ghost army on the way to the Fengta sacrifice last time, and was manipulating behind the scenes." ”

Yu Miaomiao remembered the tragic situation of the last ghost army's assassination.

At that time, the second prince was also in danger of being poisoned, and many people in the team were injured by the ghost army, and in the end they all chose to kill themselves.

Yu Miaomiao looked at Wei Jiuxiao nervously, "Let's go back to the village and come back tomorrow when it's dawn." ”

It's dark everywhere now, and even if they stay here, they can't do anything.

Wei Jiuxiao shook his head, "Let's stay here, and when Ming Ruyan arrives after dawn, he will bring someone to pick you up, and then he will escort you back to the village." ”

"What about you?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

"Of course this king is staying here, if those corpses are not disposed of, it will be troublesome when they become ghost armies."

"If you don't go, then I won't go either." Yu Miao snorted angrily.

She's a coward.

I thought Wei Jiuxiao would be unhappy, but who knew that he just glanced down at her and didn't say anything.

The guards were on their toes. Everyone waited until dawn in Mei Ruhua's magic circle, and Ming Ruyan really brought people over.

At the same time, he also brought a hot breakfast.

Yu Miaomiao was already hungry, she was happy to see this, if she had her previous temperament, she would definitely have to give Xiao Mingming a flying kiss with gratitude.

But before she could kiss her own palm, a large hand covered her face.

Nothing can be seen.

"Wei Jiuxiao, take your hands away!" Yu Miaomiao hated and hated.

"Eat yours honestly." Wei Jiuxiao said in a deep voice.

Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to take back her flying kiss and honestly nibble on her breakfast.

Mei Ruhua once again painted a spell on the guards' bodies. Ming Ruyan also lit a fire on the shore for the guards who would go ashore to keep warm.

Ten guards dived into the water one after another.

In a short time, corpses were brought ashore from the bottom of the water.

Yu Miaomiao counted silently, and their people transported a total of hundreds of corpses.

Mei Ruhua had them piled up on the shore and put rune paper on them.

"These are ghost armies?" Yu Miaomiao asked Mei Ruhua in a low voice, who would have thought that there would be such a terrifying thing hidden in this beautiful place.

"Now they are not really ghost armies, and they can only be used as ghost armies when they have enough ghost things attached to their bodies." Mei Ruhua said. The hand kept moving, and the rune paper stuck to the corpse, and soon the corpse was decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yu Miaomiao stood on the side and watched, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the pile of corpses.

Little Peach!

Xiao Tao's corpse was also mixed in, because the temperature at the bottom of the lake was extremely low, and the corpse remained intact for so many years.

"These are all from the village." Yu Miaomiao asked.

"Hmm." Wei Jiuxiao didn't raise his head, staring at the corpses.

"Aren't all the corpses of the people in the village hidden in the cemetery in the back mountain?" Yu Miaomiao remembered the news she had heard before.

Wei Jiuxiao sneered, "The cemetery is empty. ”

Yu Miaomiao's eyes widened in shock. "How do you know?"

Wei Jiuxiao was silent.

On the side, Ming Ruyan coughed lightly, and Yu Miaomiao instantly understood.

Dare to love Wang Ye and also play "tomb robbery".

Just when Mei Ruhua was busy disposing of the corpse, a group of villagers came up on the back mountain road.

"Forbidden land in the back mountain, no entry!" The villagers, each with sticks and other objects in their hands, rushed to the edge of the deep lake.

Wei Jiuxiao glanced at them coldly.

Ming Ruyan greeted him, "You came just in time, someone is trying to refine the ghost army here, and they are all using the corpses of people in your village, you all come to identify them, and we will report to the court after our prince disposes of them." ”

The villagers who had rushed to question them just now were all stunned.

"What ghost army?"

Ming Ruyan pointed to the hundreds of corpses on the ground and showed them.

"How is it possible, aren't they all buried in the ancestral grave in the back mountain?"

"Why are they here?"

The villagers were talking.

Yu Miaomiao noticed that Cheng Qi was also in the crowd, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Xiao Tao's corpse.

"Master Ichimoku obviously buried them all with his own hands, how could it be"

"The master you are talking about is really a soul master?" Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!"

"He's been protecting our village for a long time."

"But I don't think he's that old." Yu Miaomiao pondered, "Why do you believe in him so much? ”

The villagers looked at each other, and someone was the first to speak, "In the past, our village was often infested by ghosts, but since Master Ichimoku set up a magic circle for the village, ghosts no longer dare to enter the village. ”

"Who did he learn the Soul Control Technique from?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

People looked at each other, "He doesn't have a master." ”

Mei Ruhua disdainfully, "No master can become a soul master, you really should be good at this business, people who can see ghosts are divided into two kinds, one is born, the other is the acquired practice, and only after having mana can you see ghosts that ordinary people can't see, I don't know which kind of master you are talking about." ”

No one can answer this question.

"You believe in Master Ichimoku so much, but he lied to you." Yu Miaomiao said this to everyone, but her eyes were staring at Cheng Qi, "He knew that Xiao Tao was not alive for a long time, but he has been hiding it from you, do you think this is also to protect you?" ”

Chengqi lowered his head. The neck is swollen and red.

He also concealed the news of Xiao Tao's death, and tried in vain to clear his name and blame others for the matter.

"What did I lie to them?" Just as the villagers were talking, Master Ichimoku appeared behind everyone.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Master Ichimoku with a wooden mask on his face and one eye looking at everyone faintly.

"Master Ichimoku!"

"Master Ichimoku, why are the corpses of the villagers here!" The villagers gathered and asked anxiously.

Master Ichimoku approached the corpse. Look down.

Yu Miaomiao stared at him beside her.

"What are you looking at?" Master Ichimoku noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her.

"I'm looking at your mask." Yu Miaomiao blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

Through the mask, Master Ichimoku looked at her with one of his eyes.

Because of the proximity, Yu Miaomiao could clearly see the red bloodshot under the other party's eyes, and the eyeballs were bursting out, as if they were about to explode.

Wei Jiuxiao stretched out his hand, and Yu Miao Miao pulled him back.

"What a coincidence. Just now our people picked up one of these masks around here. Yu Miaomiao was not afraid of Master Yimu at all, she took out the mask that the three thousand crows had brought back just now, "Oh, look at it, is there a second person in your village who wears this kind of mask?" ”

Seeing the mask in Yu Miaomiao's hand, everyone stopped talking, and all looked at Master Yimu with their eyes.

Who but he will wear such a mask. There is only one eye

Master Yimoku's eyes rolled, and Yu Miaomiao always felt that the thing was more like a marble, and it was not sure when it would pop out of his face and fall to the ground.

"Master Ichimoku, don't you want to explain it to us?" Finally, a villager couldn't help but ask.

"Master Ichimoku, didn't you already know this place?"

Master Ichimoku looked at the corpses on the ground one by one, "This matter has nothing to do with me. ”

Yu Miaomiao pouted secretly: Who believes!

"But I know that there has been a difference in the back mountain lately, and I have been here a few times in the evening, and although I have not seen anyone, I know that the person is hiding in a cave."

"Why didn't Master Ichimoku tell us earlier?" The villagers were anxious, "Let's go and catch him." ”

"Yes, let's help Master Ichimoku to catch that man, there are so many people in our village, we will definitely be able to catch him."

The villagers were filled with indignation, but Yu Miaomiao kept looking at Master Yimo.

This man is quite calm, calm and a little crazy.

And these villagers have great trust in him. In this case, even if they identify the other party as the culprit, these villagers will not believe it.

Master Yimu looked up at Wei Jiuxiao, "If you believe me, I can take you with me." ”

Wei Jiuxiao was silent for a moment and spit out a word: "Okay." ”

Yu Miaomiao took advantage of the unpreparedness and pulled Wei Jiuxiao's sleeve, "Do you really believe him?" ”

Wei Jiuxiao didn't speak, but the look in his eyes told her that he didn't believe it at all.

"Then you are still going to go with him" Yu Miaomiao frowned, she always felt that this master of one eye was a little Shinto.

"Either you stay, and this king will take someone with you." Wei Jiuxiao called over to Ming Ruyan and wanted to arrange for her to go back to the village first.

"I'm the kind of person who is afraid of things." Yu Miao snorted angrily.

The guards were silent.

The princess is by no means a timid person, she is definitely a bold person who is boundless, and she is not afraid of chaos.

Everyone followed Master Ichimoku to the depths of the mountain behind.

The back mountain is not big, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the villagers are used to walking on the mountain road, so they all walk in front.

Wei Jiuxiao led everyone to follow.

After walking through the back mountain for half an hour, Master Ichimoku stopped and pointed to a cave in front of him.

"Right there."

Mei Ruhua twisted her beard and stepped forward to look.

The three thousand crows were killed, standing quietly on Yu Miaomiao's shoulders.

"How's it going, can you feel the ghostly energy?" Yu Miaomiao whispered and asked the three thousand crows to kill.

The three thousand crows were not in high spirits and shook their heads.

Hearing that there was no ghost qi in the cave, Yu Miaomiao was much more relieved.

As long as there are no ghosts, she believes that Wei Jiuxiao can handle other things.

Everyone entered the cave, and Master Ichimoku actually walked in the front.

As we walked deeper into the cave, a cold wind blew in my face.

None of the villagers dared to speak, but their eyes were full of uneasiness.

They had lived in the village all their lives, but they never knew there was such a cave.

The road ahead narrowed, and everyone had to line up to move forward.

Master Yimu and the villagers walked halfway, and Wei Jiuxiao and others moved forward one after another.

On one side is a void hole, you can't see how deep the bottom of the hole is, and you can faintly hear the sound of water.

Yu Miaomiao turned her head sideways, and in addition to the sound of water, she also heard a strange piano sound.

However, when she looked at Wei Jiuxiao and the others, she saw that they did not react.

"Sanqian, can you hear the sound of the piano?" Yu Miaomiao whispered and asked the three thousand crows to kill.

The three thousand crows tilted their heads and looked at her blankly.

Yu Miaomiao knew that it would be futile to ask any more, so she had to continue to move forward.

There was a sudden tremor under his feet, and the ground shook violently.

Earthquake?

Yu Miaomiao quickly prostrated her body on the stone wall on one side.

"Retreat." Wei Jiuxiao's voice came.

The guards in the rear quickly retreated.

Wei Jiuxiao stretched out his hand to grab Yu Miaomiao, but at this moment, the narrow path under their feet suddenly collapsed. The villagers in front of them were the first to fall down like dumplings, and then one after the other.

The three thousand crows flapped their wings and tried to grab Yu Miaomiao's arm, but its strength was too small to support Yu Miaomiao's weight.

Yu Miaomiao's feet were suspended in the air, and the moment she was about to fall, Wei Jiuxiao grabbed her.

Yu Miaomiao was hung in the air, swinging one after another.

"Let it go." She looked up and shouted.

If there was water underneath, she wouldn't be in danger.

But Wei Jiuxiao had no intention of letting go. And the stone slab under his feet also collapsed.

Wei Jiuxiao also fell, but the guards behind him grabbed him.

In this way, people fell one after another, and everyone was caught by the people behind them, and finally none of them fell.

When the last person also fell, Yu Miaomiao stepped on the ground first.

The guards caught the people who fell from it one after another, and finally did not suffer major damage.

There was water all under his feet, but it wasn't so deep that it barely reached his knees.

The guards took out the fire folds and lit them.

Yu Miaomiao took the opportunity to look around.

The villagers who fell earlier were not as lucky as them, they had no kung fu and no cooperation with each other, so everyone was injured when they fell.

"Where's Master Ichimoku?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

Only then did people realize that Master Ichimoku had not fallen.

"Liar." Yu Miaomiao scolded, "What kind of master is it, I think he is the one who refines the ghost army, you people are still counting money for others after being sold by him." ”

The villagers looked at each other, and it was too late to say anything, they were all trapped here, some of them hurt their legs, some of them injured their arms, and they didn't know if they would get out of here alive.

Wei Jiuxiao was unusually calm, and ordered his subordinates: "Find the exit first." ”

The guards dripped, looking for an exit at the bottom of the cave.

"Three thousand, you can help too." Yu Miaomiao poked the feathers on the neck of the three thousand crows.

"What do you want me to help with?" Three thousand crows kill the lazy and don't like to move.

Yu Miaomiao frowned.

Without love and killing here, the three thousand crows are really not diligent at all, and they are either motionless as an umbrella all day long, or they fall where they catch the dust, and there is no majesty of "holy relics" at all.

The guards searched for a long time at the bottom of the cave but could not find a way out.

"Lord Wang, the only way is where we just fell." The guard said, "You have to climb up the same way." ”

The walls of the cave are wet and slippery, and it is harder to climb up than to climb to the sky.

"If you have ropes, you can bring three thousand ropes to it." Yu Miaomiao proposed.

"But it can't hold the rope in place." Ming Ruyan said helplessly.

Everyone expressed their opinions, but unfortunately in the end, they couldn't come up with any ideas.

"Why don't we let Sanqian go back and deliver the letter?" Yu Miao said.

They still have men in the village, and if they get the letter, they will be able to come quickly.

Come to think of it, this is the only way to do it.

Mei Ruhua took out a piece of rune paper, Ming Ruyan took a fire fold to illuminate it, and Wei Jiuxiao wrote a note.

However, when the three thousand crows were about to fly out with Wei Jiuxiao's note, they found that the surroundings seemed to have been cast by someone, and they couldn't leave the same way at all.

A few of the villagers couldn't support it anymore and fell, and gradually a faint black gas filled the air.

"Wraith!" Three thousand crows were killed, and the first one cried out.

"Didn't you say there was no ghost feeling here?" Yu Miaomiao quickly moved closer to Wei Jiuxiao's side.

"Not really." The three thousand crows hung their heads in frustration, "Because Xiaolian is not here, my strength cannot be exerted." ”

Only then did Yu Miaomiao know that it was not that Sanqian was unwilling to contribute, but that it was unable to exert its full strength because it had lost the person who controlled it.

Mei Ruhua threw the rune paper out, but she couldn't stop the resentful spirit from approaching.

"By the way, Sanqian, can't you walk through the world in the umbrella at will?" Yu Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "You take us and escape together." ”

"Xiaolian is not here, my strength is not enough to open the umbrella." The three thousand crows said helplessly, "And the world in the umbrella is even more terrifying than you think, if you get lost, you may never find the real exit." ”

"But if we stay here, we can only wait to die, we might as well try." Yu Miaomiao relied on herself to enter the umbrella several times, so she was not afraid.

She grabbed the neck of the three thousand crows.

Three thousand crows were killed and turned into black umbrellas.

Yu Miaomiao holds an umbrella with one hand.

She had tried it once before. But she failed, but this time she managed to open the umbrella.

"Wei Jiuxiao, come with me." Yu Miaomiao greeted him.

The breath of the resentful spirit was getting stronger and thicker at this time, faintly, and the sound of the piano was mixed in with it.

Wei Jiuxiao only hesitated for a moment, and then held Yu Miaomiao's hand.

"Everyone, hurry up, don't let go." Yu Miaomiao reminded loudly and put the umbrella on her head.

Yu Miaomiao was the first to disappear into the shadow of the umbrella. Then Wei Jiuxiao, Ming Ruyan, and everyone followed one by one, and they all entered the umbrella.

Filled with resentment, the villagers struggled, gradually corrupted by resentment, and their eyes glazed over.

"It should all be settled." Master Ichimoku appeared at the cliff above at some point, looking down.

The shadow of a woman stood beside him, slender as a girl, her face covered with a white veil, and her figure was illusory, like a phantom that could disappear at any moment.

"Master, you can rest assured now." Master Ichimoku said respectfully to the woman.

The woman's illusory shadow stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.

"You can't be careless, that person is the king of Youyou, and he is already stained with ghosts, he has held the emperor hostage over the years, and he has done whatever he wants in Fengguo, and your move can be called to eliminate harm for the people."

Master Ichimoku bowed his head respectfully, "It is my heart's wish to exorcise ghosts. ”

The woman nodded slightly, "You did a good job, but it's a pity that those corpses are dirty, otherwise using them to absorb ghost qi can keep your village safe for decades." ”

Master Ichimoku said in disappointment, "But now that those corpses are all destroyed, what should I do?" ”

"The village inn still has the remaining manpower of the King of You. As long as you kill them, use their corpses as well. ”

Master Ichimoku hesitated for a moment, "There are no people among them who have been tainted by the ghost. ”

"They are all subordinates of the King of You, willing to work for ghosts, you don't need to show mercy, isn't it just that I give you mana to make you a soul master and get rid of all the ghosts in the world?"

"Yes, the apprentice knows." Master Ichimoku bowed his head, "Thank you Master for your teachings." ”

The woman's figure was vain, as if she was going to disappear at any moment.

"The Soul Separation Technique is too draining, so I won't be here tonight, and you can deal with those people yourself." After the woman finished speaking, her figure disappeared like a light smoke.

Meanwhile.

Three thousand crows killed in the umbrella.

Yu Miaomiao led everyone through the strange space.

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were full of surprise, but he tightly wrapped around Yu Miaomiao's waist and never relaxed for a moment.

Ming Ruyan and the others were all shocked by the strange world in front of them.

If it weren't for Yu Miaomiao's reminder, they would have wanted to reach out and touch all kinds of strange things floating around them several times.

"Do you really know the exit?" Wei Jiuxiao asked Yu Miaomiao in a deep voice.

"I guess I can find it." Yu Miaomiao said confidently, she has been here many times, even if she doesn't have Xiaolian to lead the way, she can find an exit with her memory.

A white light suddenly flashed in front of him.

"This is it!" Yu Miaomiao struggled to step towards the white light.

In the shadow of the black umbrella, Yu Miaomiao was the first to come out and exhale a puff of white smoke.

Wei Jiuxiao and others also followed in turn.

"It's so cold"

"Ahh The guards all shrunk back.

Yu Miaomiao stood there in a daze, looking at the endless snowfield in front of her

A classic commentary comes to mind: autumn has passed, the land has entered winter, and a lonely Alaskan fox walks on the ice field

Yu Miaomiao was not afraid of the cold, but Wei Jiuxiao and the others were narrowly blown into popsicles by the wind.

"Stupid fish, this is outside the village?" Frost instantly hung on Wei Jiuxiao's lips, and all the breath he exhaled turned into ice.

Mei Ruhua sneezed several times in a row.

The guards were young and could hold on, but the north wind blew, and the snowflakes raised raised by them lifted their heads and faces, and it didn't take long to bury them all.

"Wrong, wrong." Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly propped up the umbrella, "Come in, we're going the wrong way." ”

The crowd once again entered the umbrella of the three thousand crows.
