I stared gloomily at the last strand of the fragment disappearing, and my heart was sour and bitter, with mixed tastes.

"Alas, this horrible and difficult old building is ...... The ghosts have finally been wiped out by us! Oh, uncle, why are you here so late? Chang Qing asked Chang Dao Chang on his lips, but his eyes glanced at me with some concern.

"You're embarrassed to say it! If it weren't for your lack of skill, how could you use my old bones to go out in person? Chang Daochang flicked his sleeves, and a few very unnatural looks flashed across his face, "I delayed outside the old building for a while, so I came late." ”

"Delay? Hey, uncle, why are there holes everywhere in your sleeves? What do you keep running into outside? Fire-breathing youkai? Chang Qing looked at his uncle's sleeve in amazement and shouted. When Chang Qing said this, we noticed that the two sleeves of Chang Dao's robe were full of small scorched black holes, as if they had been burned by countless flying sparks.

"Huh? And also?! Ge Hong and Xu Shan couldn't help but exclaim in unison, and then looked at Chang Dao Chang with hopeful eyes, "Dao Chief, have you already eliminated it?" ”

"Nope. …… Oh, I mean it's not a youkai that I ran into outside. The corners of Chang Daochang's mouth had a peculiar wry smile, he seemed to be reluctant to talk about this topic anymore, and with a move of his hand, the colorful glass lamp turned into a white dot and returned to the yellow talisman with cinnabar seal characters, and the yellow talisman slowly returned to the size of his palm, and then slowly rolled up and flew back into Chang Daochang's hand.

"Uncle Chang, who are you bumping into?" Although I thought Chang Daochang's reaction was strange, I couldn't help but want to gossip.

"Ahem, it's an unrelated person. …… Little star, what a dangerous thing you just did! How can you easily believe in those who are not of my race? Chang Michichang quickly changed the subject.

I pursed the corners of my mouth and lowered my head, I was really speechless, the feeling of pain was surging, Teacher Ling's gentle and loving smile and cold and cruel eye waves alternated, half light and half dark, ethereal like smoke, who could tell the truth and falsehood?

"That...... Dao Chief, when are we going out? We've been here long enough, and if we don't leave, I'm going to be fossilized! Ge Hong glanced at me, as if he couldn't bear it, so he cleared his throat and pretended to open the topic easily.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Anyway, it's all ...... that hurts people It's all gone, what are we doing here? Xu Shan also hurriedly agreed.

I was silent, but felt something cold dripping on my hand. I didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing their look of pity, and for fear that they would see the tears flowing freely on my face.

"Who told you that this matter has been settled? The mother and son just now are just two chess pieces, and the mastermind behind instigating and manipulating them hasn't jumped out yet! Chang Daochang's words sounded in our ears like a thunderclap.

"What?"

"Chess pieces?"

"And?"

"Who's behind this?"

We were stunned, and immediately asked, with a surprised tone with great panic, originally thought that it was the end of the play, and the song was dispersed, who expected that there were still important people who did not appear on the stage, this scene is really "twists and turns"!

I suddenly remembered something, Huo Di raised his head, wiped away his tears and rushed to Chang Daochang: "Uncle Chang, is the black hand behind this scene with Ling ...... Is that old building designer related to the missing body? ”

"Yes. It is also related to all the missing corpses in the old building over the years! Chang Daochang looked appreciative and bowed slightly.

"Corpses!" Ge Hong and Xu Shan gasped, their eyes involuntarily looked at Ye Fei and Shao Qing, who were already stiff on the ground not far away, and immediately fell silent.

"Uncle, do you mean that there is someone else who disposed of the corpse?" Chang Qing asked thoughtfully.

"Of course! When have you ever seen a ghost devouring a corpse? Chang Daochang patted Chang Qing's head and said with blame.

"Ah...... It's real, it's too ...... It's horrible! What to do? I'm going out! I don't want to stay here! Teacher Wang, who was almost forgotten by us, suddenly cried and wailed, with a lot of tears and snot.

In normal times, we must laugh when we see such a funny scene, but here and now, what is spontaneous in everyone's hearts is sadness and helplessness. Who will be behind the scenes? Everyone looked at each other, and even Qi Zhen looked at the still lifeless surroundings seriously, frowning tightly.

"Hey, hey! Yes - me! The strange sound of the urn seemed to come out of the ground, dry and gloomy, and it made the roots of people's teeth itch when they heard it.

"Who?" Chang Daochang and Chang Qing shouted in unison, and we looked around nervously.

Although the surroundings were dim and uncertain, there was no blue-gray fog and water, and it was still possible to tell if anything was appearing as far as the eye could see. No one, no other thing!

"What are you hiding your head and tail for? People and ghosts have come out to show us! Chang Qing sneered.

"Hehe, haven't I always been by your side? Why can't you see me? "We were struck by lightning, and we all stared at the ground not far away.

It was empty, except for the two corpses next to each other! The voice came from the corpses of Ye Fei and Shao Qing! Before they could finish speaking, they both stood up, then stood up straight, and walked slowly towards us. Shao Qing is still a little better, but his face is pale, and his appearance has basically not changed, Ye Fei is terrifying, his face is bleeding, his face is distorted, and the corners of his mouth are crooked, as if he is still laughing. We watched as they approached step by step, and even the sound of horror stuck in our throats.

Could they be the ones behind the scenes? Two dead people?

"The corpse has changed, the corpse is deceitful!" Qi Zhen screamed violently, pounced on me, and hugged me tightly.

My face immediately flushed, and I struggled several times to get rid of it, but his strength was amazing.

"Hey, hey, let go!" I tugged at Qi Zhen's collar and tried to get him to let go.

Just kidding, even if it's really a corpse, is it useful to hold me?

At this time, Chang Daochang, who had been silently observing Ye Fei and Shao Qing, suddenly stomped his feet and said coldly: "Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost, and still don't show me my original form? As he spoke, he flew out of his sleeve with two yellow talismans, which happened to be attached to Ye Fei and Shao Qing's foreheads. Their bodies froze, and then they stopped.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Ge Hong and Xu Shan finally came back to their senses and applauded.

"Uncle, solved? Is it the walking dead? ”

Chang Daochang's face was solemn, he shook his head, and stared at them sharply. I finally tore Qi Zhen's hand away, and was about to take a breath, but I saw them raise their hands stiffly, and actually lifted the yellow charm on their foreheads. As soon as their fingers touched the rune paper, the two runes immediately turned to ashes. I was shocked because I noticed that their hands were strange, jet black, and the skin on their hands was constantly wriggling, and it felt like black worms wrapped in withered vines.

"Uncle Chang, look at their hands!" I reminded loudly.

Chang Daochang nodded, there was no expression of surprise, he retracted his hands into his sleeves, his lips moved, and he was silently reciting something. Suddenly, his right hand stretched out from his sleeve, a yellow light flashed, and there were two more black arms on the ground, and Ye Fei and Shao Qing fell to the ground again. Chang Daochang's right hand held a sword that was extremely sharp but shrouded in yellow light.

"Look, everybody, there's a ...... on your arm Things ......," Ge Hong shouted, pointing to the ground.

“…… It's a black bug! Xu Shan was terrified.

"Not bugs! …… It looks like a dead tree branch or a vine or something! Chang Qing took a step closer and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, it moves! …… Ah! Got into the dirt! Ge Hong shouted in surprise.

Sure enough, those black things that looked like long insects and dead branches quickly left their arms and burrowed into the soil as soon as they landed. The ground was hard, but they walked like fish in the water. And as soon as they burrowed into the ground, it was as if they were going to multiply, and the ground began to have innumerable and bulging packets, crisscrossing and moving rapidly.

Chang Daochang frowned, thought for a moment, and decisively thrust his sword into the largest bulging bag on the ground. The yellow light on the sword was flourishing, and with a muffled "poof", the big bag exploded, and many bright green juices splattered outward with the black and red earth. Green is a vibrant color, but it's not pleasant to see the viscous juice wriggling around the ground in strange shapes.

"It's disgusting! What is this? Ge Hong and Xu Shan hurriedly hid behind Chang Daochang.

"Green ...... Could it be some plant growing underground? Qi Zhen took my hand and asked.

Before I could speak, all the bulging bags on the ground around me exploded. Strangely, there was not a drop of juice spurting out, and Chang Qing hurriedly squatted down to check.

"Be careful!" Chang Dao Chang reminded him as he approached an exploding bag with his sword. Without warning, the place where the explosion exploded suddenly stretched out a thick, long, branch-like thing with countless branches, wrapping around Chang Dao Chang and Chang Qing's legs. In a moment of breath, they climbed up, circled, one by one, and tied Chang Dao Chang and Chang Qing firmly together.

In the exclamation of Ge Hong and Xu Shan, countless hands seemed to have grown in other places on the ground that had been blasted open, and those branch-like strange things stretched out at will, and when they touched the object, they immediately wrapped around it and tied it firmly. The bodies of Ye Fei and Shao Qing who fell to the ground were entangled and covered by these things in the blink of an eye. Ge Hong and Xu Shan screamed and dodged in panic.

However, they didn't seem to dare to approach me, because the spirit stone on my chest still emitted a brilliant white light, and Qi Zhen, who was close to me, was not entangled or chased by those strange things for the time being. Chang Dao Chang hurriedly pulled out with his sword, and the sharp blade cut through the things that bound him at once. As soon as he came out, he immediately brandished his sword to cut through the branch-like things that were tied to Evergreen's body. The yellow light flickered, and the severed things fell to the ground one after another, and Evergreen quickly broke free. It's just that these things don't know how to be afraid, because they are constantly coming out of the ground, stretching, twisting, entwining, binding, showing their teeth and claws, and they are very arrogant.

"Something is wrong! I had a bad premonition. Qi Zhen's tone was rare seriousness and anxiety, and he clenched my hand tightly, his fingers almost sinking into my flesh.

"Of course not! But you're even more wrong! What a 'living treasure'...... You're poking holes in the back of my hand! I rolled my eyes and lowered my voice to scold him.

"You don't believe me? Really, I feel like I'm panicking right now, as if there's something ...... Something tragic is about to happen! Qi Zhen stared deeply into my eyes, his expression was extremely sad, and the black pupils flashed with such deep sadness, making his originally familiar face exude a strange aura.

My heart ached, and an inexplicable panic suddenly overwhelmed me, and something slipped before my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried to see, I could see nothing.

"Well, I believe you. There is a long way, nothing tragic will happen, don't think nonsense! I calmed down and comforted him softly, but I didn't realize that my words were "wrong in the first words."

"Help! Fast...... Save me! An abrupt wail interrupted our conversation, and I turned my head to see that Mr. Wang was entangled in something strange. I saw him waving his hands and feet, while trying his best to tear the "tree vine" (which looked more like), while shouting for help, and his face did not know whether it was sweat or the juice that had just been splashed, slimy, green, with his own hair torn up and messy, quite like a dwarf tree with a bird's nest and a strange shape. At this time, I heard Ge Hong and Xu Shan's screams in my ears again, and they were also entangled.

Chang Daochang gestured to me, signaling Qi Zhen and I to help that Teacher Wang, and then waved the sword in his hand, constantly chopping the "tree vines" that kept winding up, and went to save Ge Hong and Xu Shan with Chang Qing.

I walked towards Teacher Wang, and Qi Zhen followed me with heavy steps, his hand still tightly gripping mine, like a straw clung to by a drowning man. I glanced at him uneasily, and I absurdly felt that his state was more dangerous than that of Mr. Wang. Yes, he has always been very exaggerated and fond of tricks, but I have never seen such deep anxiety and fear on his face, as if he were on a path of no return, and that misery would befall him at any moment; But his eyes were clear and calm, and there was still some kind of expectation in his trance.

I can't help but wonder if my eyes are wrong? Or he...... Nor is it Qi Zhen?

I was taken aback by this thought and instinctively wanted to pull my hand back. Qi Zhen suddenly turned his head, approached me in a low voice, and said, "I'll help him, you wait next to me." You, don't, don't be careful! His tone was very solemn, and reluctant, his eyes looked at me without blinking, that gaze eagerly made my heart hairy, and it wasn't a TV series of life and death, don't be so exaggerated, right?

"Come on...... Help me! That Teacher Wang screamed more and more miserably.

Qi Zhen finally let go of my hand, his face bloomed with a signature smile like a living treasure, and he said loudly to me, "Miss, just stand by and watch!" I'll just do this kind of little thing by myself! As he spoke, he patted his chest again exaggeratedly, and rushed towards the target with his head held high. This is indeed the Qi Zhen I am familiar with, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and what swells up is a strange feeling of gain and loss. I watched in amazement as he struggled to tear at the "vines", but for no apparent reason, the voice and smile of another person came to mind.

"Come on...... Come and help! …… No...... No more! Intermittent wails sounded from his feet, and there were more and more "tree vines", Qi Zhen had no tools, not only could he not save people, but even he was gradually entangled. I looked back at Chang Dao Chang and them, only to see yellow lights flashing, they were trying to get close to Ge Hong and Xu Shan, cutting off those crazy "tree vines", for a while, they couldn't take care of us here.

I didn't have time to think about anything else, so I crouched down to help. The light of the spirit stone was blazing, as if it were a tangible object, and where the white light passed, the "tree vines" broke off and fell to the ground one after another.

"Qi Zhen, give me your hand, I'll pull you up." I stretched out my hand to Qi Zhen, ready to help him get out first, and then save that Teacher Wang. As soon as my fingers touched the back of his hand, his face suddenly changed, and his wide eyes flashed with murderous intent. In a moment's astonishment, he grabbed my wrist with his backhand and slammed me to the side. I didn't have time to react, I was already on the ground so hard that my mouth must have been broken, because the corners of my mouth felt like warm liquid was dripping, and my teeth were like they were about to fall out. I struggled to get up, but I didn't succeed, I don't know if my right hand was dislocated, and the slightest exertion. I didn't believe that Qi Zhen would hurt me, so I turned my head and called him: "Qi ......" was only half called and I froze. A man covered in green was standing in front of me coldly, one of his hands, black and stiff, like a dry and deformed branch, firmly clasping Qi Zhen's neck. It's the teacher Wang who was still on the ground miserably and screaming for help a moment ago!

It turns out that he is the one behind the manipulation of Teacher Ling's mother and son!

As soon as the thought flashed at me, he smiled fiercely at me, and another black, stiff hand had reached into my neck, and with a single force, he could break my neck. A burst of yellow light shot in, and Qi Gen cut off the hand. It's Chang Dao Chang! Seeing that the situation was critical, he flew out of the sword in his hand and saved me in time.

"Huh! The 'Five Thunder Swords' of the Zhengyi faction are nothing more than that! The corners of Mr. Wang's mouth twitched, revealing a weird smile.

"Little ...... Heart! His...... The goal is ......" Qi Zhen stared at me anxiously, spitting out a few words with difficulty, and there was a deep wound on his neck, as if it had been cut by a knife, and blood was gushing out.

I don't know where the strength came from, so I jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, picked up the sword that fell on the side with my left hand, and slashed it at the hand that was holding Qi Zhen's neck. There was a muffled "plop" sound, and the hand was easily cut off by me, and it felt like it was chopping on a rotten piece of wood.

I was stunned, a face full of green slime approached my face, and the green eyes were full of coldness and ridicule, and a bright green "hand" grew out of my severed arm, reached up to my neck, and ripped off the red thread.

Spirit Stone! His goal is the Spirit Stone!

I didn't care about the blood being strangled out of my neck, I raised my sword and wanted to cut off the "hand" again, but a series of "poof" sounds sounded, and countless bright green "hands" actually grew on Mr. Wang's body, and these horizontal and vertical "hands" were drudding with green mucus and grabbed me together.

I hurriedly brandished my sword to fend off these terrible things. But when the sword struck at it, it was like being stuck in a puddle of mud, and it could not be pulled out without cutting it. I resolutely let go of the sword and went to grab the spirit stone. At the same time, Qi Zhen also rushed forward and grabbed the "hand" that was holding the spirit stone.
