As the night deepened, a lantern shone brightly in the night, slowly moving towards the remote garden, and a young man's face was reflected in the faint light of the lantern.

In fact, there were several times when Shaojie wanted to ask the master if the injuries on this girl's body were healed, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and he thought to himself that the master had his own measure.

Shaojie came to the garden, knocked lightly on the door three times, and said softly, "Miss Mo, I've put the food outside." ”

There was no sound inside, and Shaojie was not surprised, this ink girl had little words, he put the food box outside the door, turned to leave, and when he walked to the door, the door "creaked" open, and a hand stretched out from the dark room and took the food box inside.

Shaojie speculated in his heart, could it be that this girl was ashamed of herself and didn't want to show up, and wouldn't she be afraid to live alone in this secluded garden, Shaojie thought as he walked, Leng Buding bumped into a person around the corner, he touched his aching forehead and looked at the other side, this look frightened Shaojie, and the senior brother Tie Qing looked at him with a face.

"Senior brother, why are you here so late?" Shaojie immediately put down his hand and said respectfully, at this time, he was beating the drum in his heart, how could it be that he met the senior brother by chance.

"I want to ask you, what are you wandering around so late?" Song Qingshan said with a calm face.

"I ...... I can't sleep, come out and breathe. Shaojie told a lie, and he peeked at the face of the senior brother.

"It seems that it is not enough to practice during the day, so that there will be such a good leisure to come out to admire the moon, tomorrow I will go to the bottom of the mountain to pick up ten loads of water and come back, so that you can sleep soundly at night, why are you still here, want to go tonight?" Song Qingshan frowned.

"No, no...... I'll go back to sleep, senior brother, you should rest early, I'll go. Shaojie hurriedly ran away with the lantern, leaving Song Qingshan standing alone, he looked at the back, and there was a deep look in his eyes.

On the second day, when Shaojie went down the mountain to carry water, Song Qingshan came to Feng He, the twelfth junior brother who slept in the same room with Shaojie, by testing his Taoism, Song Qingshan inadvertently asked about Shaojie's situation, saying that Shaojie had been restless recently, whether there was something on his mind, Feng He was a rectum, he scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and said that Shaojie had nothing on his mind, Song Qingshan couldn't ask anything, and took a step to leave, and suddenly heard Feng He say behind him, what can he have on his mind, eat more than him.

Song Qingshan suddenly felt strange, he walked quickly to the back kitchen, and saw Tian Zhong Ji washing vegetables, he asked Tian Zhong Ji, "Does Shaojie often come to the kitchen to get food recently?" ”

Tanaka Ji was asked so that the second monk was confused, he thought about it, said that Shaojie had been here a few times, asked him if he still had leftover food, he also scolded him for not eating enough when he ate, and now he came to eat, Shaojie just smirked hehehe, and didn't justify anything, Tanaka Ji didn't know what the senior brother was asking for, he asked suspiciously, "Senior brother, does this also have something to do with monsters?" ”

Song Qingshan didn't answer Tian Zhongji, he said with a straight face, "I tell you not to tell anyone else that there is a demon in the back mountain, including Master, you must not forget." ”

"Yes, yes, I promise not to tell anyone else, but even Master has to hide it?" Tanaka didn't know what medicine was sold in the big brother's gourd.

"Master's old man has been unwell recently, I don't want him to be bothered by this matter, I will find out about this matter as soon as possible, until then, you don't make a noise, and your nephew also made him keep his mouth shut." Song Qingshan said coldly.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I won't let him talk nonsense." Tanaka patted his chest and said.

Song Qingshan left the back kitchen, he originally planned to go back to the main hall, but after thinking about it, his footsteps walked towards the place where he saw Shaojie yesterday, Song Qingshan stood at the corner of the round arch, his eyes fell on the direction where Shaojie came yesterday, and he was suspicious.

The path leads to the annex of the Autumn Moon Temple, which has been in disrepair for a long time, has been uninhabited, and has been abandoned there for many years, if he hadn't seen Shaojie come from this path, he would have forgotten that there were still individual gardens there.

Song Qingshan walked on this path, the side of this road was already overgrown with weeds, but those grasses obviously had traces of being stepped on recently, the closer Song Qingshan got to the remote hut, the deeper the uneasiness in his heart, as if the secret hidden in the view was about to be revealed.

In front of him is the house that has been abandoned for a long time, revealing a decaying and gloomy atmosphere, even if it is a blue sky and a white day, Song Qingshan feels a chill behind him, Song Qingshan has strengthened himself, thinking that there are a few talismans in his cuffs, and there is a peach wood sword pinned to his waist.

Walking to the door, Song Qingshan listened to the sound in the room, it was as quiet as a grave, but Song Qingshan felt that behind this deathly silence, it was the white-clothed banshee that Tian Zhongji saw that night, the secret that Shaojie had concealed, and perhaps the scar on the master's wrist.

Silently reciting 321 in his heart, Song Qingshan kicked the door open, the rotten wooden door collapsed, stirring up a fine piece of dust, Song Qingshan jumped into the house with a peachwood sword in his hand, his eyes scanned the whole room, but the room was empty, the window was closed, could it be that he was thinking too much, Shaojie really just came out for a walk, and there were no monsters in this courtyard.

But Leng Buding was attracted by the blood stains on the bed, his face was shocked, and he strode over, the blood stains on the bed had dried up, and there was a very long strand of hair on the pillow, Song Qingshan twisted the hair with two fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, a faint fragrance floated, his eyes were round, it was a woman's hair.

Song Qingshan looked around this room carefully, everything was properly placed, his hand caressed the tabletop, there was no trace of dust, it was clear that someone had lived here, but who was she and who was placed here, Song Qingshan's face showed a touch of contemplation.

At this moment, a figure jumped off the eaves with a young girl in his arms, as fast as lightning, and walked quickly into the house, the door closed quietly, as if everything had never happened just now, and after a while, there was a whisper in the quiet room of the master.

Wen Sheng laid the girl in his arms flat on his bed, Mo Fei looked at the solemn expression on Wen Sheng's face, she knew that she was the one who put him in trouble, and at the moment when Wen Sheng picked him up from the bed and jumped out of the window, though

But through the closed window, she could hear the door crashing.

"Someone's found the garden, right?" Murphy asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll arrange everything, you can rest in my room for a few days, no one will come." Wen Sheng comforted Murphy.

"But......" Mo Fei was about to say more, but was interrupted by Wen Sheng, he looked at Mo Fei gently, and said, "Do you believe me?" ”

"Right now, you're the one I trust the most." These were the words of Mo Fei from the bottom of his heart, when Wen Sheng stopped himself in front of his respected senior brother Bai Ruoliang many years ago, she felt that this kind young man was a trustworthy person.

"Then listen to me, take care of your injuries, and talk about other things when your injuries are healed." Wen Sheng covered Mo Fei's body with a futon.

Wen Sheng watched Mo Fei close his eyes, walked out of the back room, sat on the futon, sat cross-legged, thinking about the scene just now, he was still afraid, it seemed that there were already disciples in the sect who noticed it, if he hadn't happened to visit Mo Fei's injury today, he had discovered his attempt when the man's footsteps had just stepped into the other garden, although the man deliberately took a light step, he still noticed it, and quickly picked up Mo Fei and escaped through the window.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, it was Song Qingshan's voice, Wen Sheng glanced at the upper room, it was difficult to see the bed from this angle, he took a deep breath, and said, "Come in." ”

Song Qingshan walked in, he came to report to the master about the preparations for the sacrifice on the fifth day, saying that everything was ready, Wen Sheng nodded and said okay, Song Qingshan did not leave after speaking, he hesitated, and said There is a small matter.

"Shaojie has been a little lazy in his cultivation recently, and he was punished by me to carry water." Song Qingshan looked up at Master's expression as he spoke, but Master's face was calm.

"You are the eldest disciple of the Qingying Sect, and as a teacher, you have handed over the affairs of the entire sect to you, and I believe in your conduct and affairs, but as a teacher, I also have a saying to tell you, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be lost." Wen Sheng looked at Song Qingshan.

After getting along for so many years, Wen Sheng knows the personality of his big disciple, Qingshan is a diligent and knowledgeable person, and the things he has explained are all perfect, but Qingshan is a little bad, not open-minded enough, although Wen Sheng values him, he also wants to pass on the position of head to Qingshan after a hundred years, but if Qingshan has no capacity, it will be difficult to be qualified for the position of head.

"Remember Master's teachings." Song Qingshan saluted Wen Sheng with both hands, although he lowered his head, his eyes scanned around the room, and suddenly the loess on the sole of his master's shoes fell into Song Qingshan's eyes, he was shocked in his heart, and his face still pretended to be calm.

"Alright, you can go down." Hearing what Master said, Song Qingshan withdrew from the room, he slowly closed the door, with an unbelievable expression on his face, he didn't expect that it was Master who harbored an unknown person.

Song Qingshan is a careful person, can pay attention to the places that others have not noticed, the last time he went to the master's room, the soles of the master's shoes were still clean, but today they are stained with loess, as far as he knows, the master has been cultivating in the quiet room, and has never gone out, could it be that the master has been to a desolate and remote place without telling them?

Thinking of this, Song Qingshan's heart became more and more chaotic, and in the dark, he had

A bold guess is that the woman was not only hidden by the master in the other garden, but also that she has some connection with the demon girl that Tanaka saw that night.

In the blink of an eye, the most important festival of the Qingming Mountain, Wula Day, came, on this day, all the disciples of the Qingying Sect bathed and changed their clothes, dressed in clean robes, and went to the Five Elements Altar to pray for blessings.

Li Cheng also followed behind Tian Zhongji, this was the first time he came to the Five Elements Altar, seeing everyone's solemn expressions, he quietly asked Tian Zhongji, "Uncle, what is the Five Wax Day?" ”

Tian Zhongji glanced at Li Cheng and said in a low voice, "The Sanyuan Festival is the day when the Emperor of the Three Officials bestows blessings on He's sins and relieves his misfortunes, and the Wula Day is a good day for the Five Emperors to determine the benefits of the living, and it is a good day for those who learn the Tao and cultivate the truth to survive, fast and bathe, and do the truth." ”

Li Cheng nodded as if he didn't understand, and at this time, from a distance, he saw the head of the house, who had always lived in a simple place, coming over, followed by the eldest disciple Song Qingshan, and all the disciples bowed their heads to the head of the house, with a pious attitude, and said, "The master." ”
