I took a deep breath and looked out at the river not far away.

I remembered what Bai Wuchang had just told me, and I knew that it wasn't a dream just now.

Just as I was thinking about what to do next, I suddenly heard a sound coming from behind my tree. I sensed something was wrong, and quickly got up and looked behind the tree.

Qing Yao also woke up at this time, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up and followed me.

When I opened the Celestial Eye, I saw that there was nothing behind the tree.

I wondered, "No, I just felt something unusual, how could there be nothing?" ”

"I felt it just now, but it shouldn't be nothing." Qing Yao frowned and looked around and said.

"Hehe, Wang Chuyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time." A voice rang out from behind me so suddenly.

Qing Yao and I slowly turned around, and then I saw a ghost with an eerie aura appear in front of me. His face was pale, as white as a piece of paper. And he looks about the same age as me, so I don't seem to know such a ghost.

I watched as the ghost slowly opened its mouth and asked, "Who are you?" We don't seem to know each other. ”

"Don't know? How can you not know me? We're old friends, and I'm disappointed when you say that. The ghost looked at me and smiled.

Qing Yao frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Okay, don't let you guess. Let me tell you, I am Zhang Xiu. The ghost looked at me and Qing Yao and said word by word.

When I heard that, I couldn't believe my ears. Zhang Xiu is obviously an old man, even if he is out of his body, he can't become about the same size as me.

"You are talking nonsense, Zhang Xiu can't be like you." Qing Yao shouted directly.

The ghost laughed, "Haha, it's actually impossible. But thanks to the Oni King, I can become as young as you. I am no longer the same person I used to be, and maybe it won't be long before I can get true eternal life. ”

I looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Could it be that you have absorbed those souls on the Huangquan Road?" ”

"Haha, you're still really smart. I actually know what happened on our way to Huangquan, so I guess I told you below. Zhang Xiu looked at me and smiled.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Zhang Xiu, do you really think it's good like this?" You're not a ghost now, and if my guess is right, you're dead now. ”

"Tsk, you know a lot. If it weren't for the fact that you have a grudge against me, I would really like to introduce you to Lord Oni. ”

I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, just stared at Zhang Xiu.

After a while, Zhang Xiu saw that I didn't speak, so she continued: "Wang Chuyan, I know what you are talking about. You're probably here looking for your fat friend. ”

When I heard this, my brain buzzed, and then I looked at Zhang Xiu and shouted, "You took Jiusheng away?" What happened to you guys for a long time? ”

"Hehe, it's really, don't worry, that fat man is still alive, the yang energy on his body is still quite good, we have to squeeze him dry little by little." Zhang Xiu said, an almost crazy smile appeared on his face.

"Where is Jiusheng? Tell me where Jiusheng is? I looked at Zhang Xiu and shouted.

Qing Yao was about to make a move then, and I hurriedly grabbed Qing Yao.

Zhang Xiu looked at my expression and smiled: "Haha...... In a hurry? Yo Yo Yo, I love seeing your expression so much, this feeling is really good. Wang Chuyan, I won't tell you where the fat man is. I'm going to play with you slowly, and we'll have a long time to come.

I want you to feel the feeling of your friends and relatives going away one by one. ”

After saying that, Zhang Xiu directly turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared in place, and I could only watch Zhang Xiu leave like this.

"What are you stopping me for, why don't we do it?" Qing Yao looked at me and asked.

I shook my head and said, "He's not what he used to be, and he's still in their hands for a long time, and it's probably another trap for him." If we do it, our lives will not be guaranteed, and we may also fall into his trap. ”

"So what now?" Qing Yao glanced at me and asked.

I thought for a while and said, "Now I can only find Huayue to understand the situation and see what is going on here." And how could Zhang Xiu appear here, and then find a way to inform Cheng Xiao of them. ”

Qing Yao nodded after hearing this, and then looked in the direction of the village.

"Do you think the people of this village have fled? This embroidery appears here, which means that it is not safe here, and Huayue may also leave with them. Qing Yao said as she looked in the direction of the village.

I nodded: "It's not impossible, if they leave, I don't think it will be too far." ”

"Anyway, wait and wait, or let's go in and have a look?" Qing Yao leaned over to my side and said.

I thought about it after listening to it, and no one responded to the knock on the door before. I don't know if there's really no one inside, if that's the case, wouldn't we be waiting here for nothing. It's better to go in directly, so that you can figure out the situation.

While thinking so, I nodded at Qing Yao: "Let's go, let's go in." ”

After speaking, Qingyao and I took the horses and walked towards the village. When Qingyao and I walked into the village again, there was still silence all around. Inside the village, there is still no light.

This time, Qingyao and I didn't knock on the door, but found a random house, and I jumped directly over the wall. Qingyao, on the other hand, was waiting for me outside the hospital.

When I entered, there was no sound around. There was no movement in the room, and I walked slowly towards the door.

"Squeak...... "The door sounded as I pushed.

Since the light inside the room was dimmer than the outside, I couldn't see inside clearly. As I walked towards it step by step, I felt as if something was wrong inside, and I always felt as if something was waiting for me inside.

I stood there and hesitated, but finally walked inside.

Just as I was walking in, I suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the door. Before I could turn around, I felt something hit me on the back of my head, and then I was dizzy and didn't know anything.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already getting dark. There are still a lot of people around me, and I saw Qing Yao around me.

"Huayue Dao Chief, the person is awake." Onlookers shouted.

After a while, I saw Hua Yue pass through the people surrounding me and walk towards me: "Chu Yan, are you okay?" You're scared the hell out of me, how do you feel now? ”

I rubbed the back of my head, sat up, looked at Huayue and said, "Huayue? Where am I? What's going on, why do I feel like my head hurts so much? ”

Without waiting for Huayue to speak, Qing Yao said directly angrily: "I wasn't beaten by the villagers, it was arranged by Huayue before, in order to prevent Zhang Xiu and them from coming." ”

Hua Yue looked at me and smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect you to be at this time, and I didn't expect you to be hit." ”

I rubbed my head and said, "Don't say it, it's really a good move." But I want to say, do you think it's useful to embroider those ghosts with sticks and stuff like that? ”

"No, no, no, it's not an ordinary stick, the one holding the stick has a magic charm on it, and black dog blood. It is precisely because of these things that Zhang Xiu did not attack this village. Hua Yue said hurriedly.

I didn't say anything, just sat up from the bed.

"Okay, there's nothing to do, let's go back quickly." Huayue looked at the villagers and said.

When the villagers heard this, they nodded their heads and walked in the direction of the door.

I saw that the villagers had left, so I looked at Huayue and asked, "Huayue, what is going on with Jiusheng?" ”

After hearing this, Hua Yue sighed and said, "I am going to look for clues about the Ghost King around here with Jiusheng, but everything here is normal. We think that the ghost king should not be here. But on the night we were about to leave, I suddenly heard a loud ghost crying all around.

Hisashi and I thought at the time that this must be abnormal. So we were going to check it out, but when we got out of the village, we realized that the sound was coming from two directions, so Hisashi and I had to go separately. Before parting, I agreed with Jiusheng that as long as we found out about the situation, we would go back to the village to meet at the entrance of the village.

But when I got to the place where the sound came from, I found that it was just a lonely ghost howling. Then I returned to the entrance of the village, where I was going to wait for my long life. But I waited for a long, long time, but Jiusheng never appeared.

I couldn't worry about Jiusheng, so I chased in the direction where Jiusheng was arrested. When I arrived, I found a young ghost grabbing Hisashi, who was already unconscious.

At that time, I rushed forward, and I planned to return for a long time. But after some fighting, I realized that I was no match for the ghost. Just when I thought I was going to be caught, the ghost suddenly let me go. And I also learned from him that he was actually Zhang Xiu.

At that time, Zhang Xiu was no longer a person, he had completely become a ghost. And what makes me even more unbelievable is that he looks similar to me.

Then I fled back to the village and gave you a message of flying pigeons. On the villagers' side, I also gave them a lot of ways to deal with ghosts, and that's why we've survived until now. ”
