Just when Su Qingmo felt that her breathing was about to stop, she sat up suddenly, her clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, and she looked at the intact rune realm in the carriage in a daze, only to realize that everything just now was a dream.

Just as she slowly exhaled a breath and relaxed her spirit, Qingzhu's somewhat hurried voice came from outside the car, "Princess, Commander Wei has an accident." ”

Su Qingmo hurriedly sat up, got dressed and walked out of the carriage, and was taken by Qingzhu to Wang Po Temple.

Behind the statue in the broken temple, Mu Yuanjing and Yongan stood aside and looked at Wei Xu, who was trapped by the rune realm.

Su Qingmo stepped forward and was surprised to see another familiar face from Wei Xu's face.

The boy who tried to strangle her in the dream.

She looked at Mu Yuanjing, "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”

Because he was in the wild, Mu Yuanjing was more vigilant than usual, so he noticed Wei Xu's movement as soon as he saw it.

"Not long after we stopped, Wei Xu suddenly broke out and injured Yong'an."

Then they left the rune realm, and to their surprise, Wei Xu was trapped inside and couldn't get out.

Su Qingmo noticed Yong'an's bleeding right arm, "Qingzhu will go get the medicine first and treat Yong'an's wound." ”

Yongan thanked him: "I'm tired of the Qingzhu girl." ”

Qingzhu nodded silently and walked to the carriage outside the temple.

Yongan then asked Su Qingmo: "Princess, what should Wei Xu do?" ”

Su Qingmo looked at Wei Xu, who was trapped in the rune realm, and let out a low chuckle, "He must have accidentally touched something, and then he was caught by the boy's ghost." ”

When she said this, Mu Yuanjing and Yongan realized that they didn't notice the strangeness on Wei Xu's face before Su Qingmo came in, and it wasn't until Su Qingmo appeared that they saw a boy's miserable white face on Wei Xu's face.

Wei Xu, who was on the body of the ghost, stopped chuckling when he heard this, and there was a hint of suspicion on his face, "Can you see me?" ”

The words are a childish child's voice.

Su Qingmo ignored his question, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" Why did you entangle him? ”

The boy's face flashed with anger at the problem being ignored, "Why should I tell you?" ”

Realizing that he couldn't know anything from the boy's mouth, Su Qingmo simply gave up and said to Mu Yuanjing on the side: "Lord Wang, let people search the vicinity of the broken temple to find a pair of boy's bones." ”

Yong'an, who had finished treating his wounds, heard that he didn't wait for Mu Yuanjing's instructions, and took out a whistle from his arms and blew it, and after the whistle, several Xuanyi hidden guards appeared in the broken temple.

Mu Yuanjing instructed: "Mobilize the hidden guards around and find the bones of a child." ”

The guards were ordered to leave.

The boy trapped in the rune realm suddenly had a seizure, with a fierce face on his face, "I'm going to kill him." ”

I saw Wei Xu's hands quickly raised and placed on his neck.

Su Qingmo threw out a piece of rune paper the moment he moved, and the rune paper passed through the rune realm and hit Wei Xu's body, Wei Xu's movements stopped and stopped moving.

If Wei Xu was in a sober state, he would be able to find that what was pasted on his body was the talisman he had attached to Ning Xi by the moat.

The boy was controlled by the talisman and could not move or make a sound, and several people outside the talisman quietly waited for news from the hidden guard.

It didn't take long for several guards to return to the ruined temple with a baggage.

One of the guards lowered the package to the ground and unfolded it, revealing a well-preserved young corpse in front of several people.

Yin Wei said: "Lord Yu, the bones were found in the woods behind the temple, and they were not buried deeply. ”

Mu Yuanjing nodded, "Let's go down." ”

The guards were ordered to disappear again and disappear in the shadows.

The boy in the rune realm had looked panicked since the skeleton appeared.

Su Qingmo pinched a soul talisman in his fingertips, his voice was flat, and he said unhurriedly: "If you don't come out of his body immediately, I will no longer be polite, and I will let your soul fly away immediately." ”

The boy had reluctance on his face, but he had seen Su Qingmo's ability, and he was silent for a moment, and finally had to reluctantly float out of Wei Xu's body.

The moment the boy's ghost left his body, Wei Xu was in a trance, and then came to his senses, although he could see and hear when he was put on his body before, the control of his body was not in his hands, and now he has regained the dominance, and he is not ambiguous at the moment, and his hands and feet are neatly out of the rune realm.

Su Qingmo looked at the boy who showed his full form, not as young as in his dream, but eight or nine years old.

"Why do you hurt people?"

The boy's face was still resentful, "I want you to take care of it!" ”

Mu Yuanjing's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, "Answer honestly, otherwise you will be crushed to ashes." ”

The boy's lips trembled, but he didn't choke back again, and said in a muffled voice, "If you want to know anything, I'll just say it." ”

Seeing that the boy gave up resistance, Su Qingmo's voice also softened, "What's your name?" ”

"I don't know, I can't remember."

Su Qingmo sighed in his heart, the boy was still a minor when he died, and it was not uncommon for ghosts not to remember many things after death.

Although she understood it in her heart, she still asked tentatively, "How much do you remember about the events before your death?" ”

The boy's body has been buried in the ground, but it has not been put into reincarnation, and Su Qingmo can guess the reason without thinking about it.

Death!

The boy had long since remembered what had happened before his death, and after thinking about it vigorously, he felt a splitting headache, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and various scars gradually appeared on his exposed skin.

He kept whimpering, "Help... Help me..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Qingmo hurriedly threw out a soul locking talisman to control the boy's mind.

The boy gradually calmed down, and he shrank to the ground, his thin shoulders shaking slightly, and the sharp pain in his body and head made his eyes red.

He looked at the handsome woman dressed as a man not far away, his lips were cowardly a few times, and finally he said softly, "Can you help me?" ”

He wanted to know how he had died, if he had any family, and if they would miss him after he died.

Su Qingmo didn't agree hastily, the purpose of this trip was to investigate the disappearance, so she turned her head to look at Mu Yuanjing.

Mu Yuanjing hid a trace of helplessness and a smile in the depths of his eyes, "Do whatever you think." ”

Knowing that he agreed, Su Qingmo smiled and nodded.

She took out the crimson soul jade from her bag and called softly, "An Lan, Ning Xi." ”

Two puffs of cyan smoke floated out of the soul jade, and the blue smoke turned into a pair of men and women.

Ning Xi nodded at Su Qingmo, and An Lan greeted with a smile: "Qingmo, long time no see." ”

Su Qingmo smiled, "I want to ask you for help with something." ”

The two waited silently.

Su Qingmo pointed in the direction of the Fu Realm, "Can you take this child to live in the soul jade for a while?" ”

An Lan looked in the direction of Su Qingmo's finger and instantly understood.

Although the children in the rune realm were not angry because of the vague memories before their deaths, An Lan could still clearly feel the resentment in him.

She glanced at Ning Xi beside her, and the other party looked back at her with a smile.

An Lan made a decision in his heart, "Qingmo, don't worry, we can take care of him." ”

Seeing An Lan's response, Su Qingmo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, in fact, she could force the boy to enter the soul jade despite An Lan's wishes, but she didn't want to.

Su Qingmo took a few steps forward to withdraw the rune realm, but the boy did not regenerate the mutation, and quietly followed An Lan and Ning Xi back to the soul jade.

Su Qingmo pointed to the bones on the ground, "Qingzhu, put these away carefully, wait for his wishes, and then find a place to settle them properly." ”

Qingzhu put away the burden and tied it to his body.

Mu Yuanjing stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Qingmo's big hand, "How are you going to help him?" ”

Su Qingmo shook his head, "At present, I don't have a clue, let's wait until the disappearance is clear." ”

"Have you ever thought that he has been living in this ruined temple, maybe the disappearance has something to do with him?"

Su Qingmo denied Mu Yuanjing's idea and affirmed: "There is no blood on his body, which proves that he has not killed anyone." ”

At this time, Wei Xu interjected on the side and asked, "Princess, so it has nothing to do with the boy to cover his eyes?" ”

Su Qingmo glanced at him and returned to his usual complexion, "The ghost blindfolded his eyes and did it, but it wasn't for harm, it was just a simple prank." ”

Wei Xu then asked, "Could it really be that Yong'an's ghost blindfolded his eyes?" ”

Hearing this, Mu Yuanjing glanced at him lightly.

That glance with a knife pierced Wei Xu's heart.

Su Qingmo coughed lightly with some embarrassment, "Yong'an's behavior is just a leak of yang energy, so it attracted the attention of that child, but in fact, what really covered his eyes was the strip of cloth tied to the tree, and that child used the strip of cloth you marked as a hint to make you subconsciously think that you were following a repeating path." ”

Wei Xu suddenly realized.

Su Qingmo paused and said: "Actually, he doesn't have a heart, otherwise he wouldn't just lead us to the broken temple, but if he harms people and leads us to the cliff, we won't be able to stand here safely now." ”

Wei Xu nodded approvingly.

Mu Yuanjing turned around and looked at the moonlight, took Su Qingmo's hand, and led people to the carriage outside the temple, "It's not early, it's been a long time, you should rest." ”

Su Qingmo let him lead him, hesitated and said softly: "The place in the carriage is big enough, you can stay too." ”

Mu Yuanjing stopped, looked back at her deeply, and saw a slight heat rise from her face.

"Okay."

She heard him answer with a smile.

While the two got into the carriage and rested, Qingzhu also returned to the other carriage with his baggage, Wei Xu and Yongan each found a place to sleep, and there was no accident in the second half of the night.

In the early morning, when the sky was faintly bright, Mu Yuanjing was the first to wake up, Su Qingmo obediently shrunk in his arms, he tightened his arms, looked at her sleeping face through the morning light, and a smile unconsciously rose from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at her quietly for a long time, until she slowly opened her eyes.

After Su Qingmo woke up, he found that he was shrinking into Mu Yuanjing's arms.

She had grown accustomed to his arms and his people.

Su Qingmo was helped to sit up, Mu Yuanjing rubbed her stiff body for her, and Qingzhu's voice came from outside the car at the right time, "Lord, princess, the meal has been prepared." ”

The two got out of the carriage and walked into the broken temple, Wei Xu and Yongan were already waiting inside, a few people simply had breakfast, Qingzhu took out a letter and handed it to Su Qingmo.

Su Qingmo took the letter and opened it, and after reading it, there was a trace of joy in his eyes.

Mu Yuanjing was curious about her expression, "Is there anything to be happy about?" ”

A smile spread from the bottom of his eyes, and Su Qingmo replied, "Cousin Pei is coming to me." ”

Mu Yuanjing thought for a moment and remembered who Su Qingmo was talking about.

When she first mentioned this cousin to him, he sent a hidden guard to investigate him.

Su Qingmo's cousin's name is Pei Lin, twenty years old, is the sister-in-law of Su Qingmo's mother's brother's family, he and Su Qingmo studied under the Pure Sky Taoist of Changqingguan, the cousin and sister have had a very good relationship since childhood, and they almost set a baby kiss when they were young.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuanjing's heart felt a trace of unhappiness, and he asked as slowly as he could, "When will it arrive?" ”

Su Qingmo didn't notice his abnormality, "The letter said that he had something to delay his trip and was now living in Qingshui Town." ”

"Qingshui Town is not far from here, if you leave now, you can reach it in the evening." Wei Xu answered on the side.

Mu Yuanjing looked at Wei Xu with a confused expression, and ordered: "Send someone to guard this place secretly, and no one is allowed to come in." ”

After speaking, he moved his gaze to Su Qingmo's face, "Let's go now." ”

Su Qingmo was puzzled: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Clearwater."

When he was really about to leave, Su Qingmo hesitated, "But... There is no clue about the disappearance. ”

Mu Yuanjing said with a smile, "You also said that you have no clue, and there will be no new clues here, let's go to Qingshui Town to pick up your cousin first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Besides, he did have some curiosity about her cousin.

Several people are people who are quick to move, Wei Xu instructed the hidden guards in the shadows, and then turned over and walked in the front, then Yongan drove the two masters to follow behind, and finally Qingzhu drove the last carriage behind.

A group of five people rushed for a whole day, and in order to shorten the time, they even had lunch in the car, and finally entered the town before the city gate of Qingshui Town was closed.

Su Qingmo told Wei Xu the name of the inn where Pei Lin was temporarily staying, and after entering the city, Wei Xu inquired while walking, and it didn't take much time to find his destination.

Su Qingmo was helped out of the carriage, and as soon as he stood still, he heard a familiar voice behind him, "Cousin? ”

Su Qingmo turned around, saw a person who looked like a small guy, and smiled, "Why are you here?" ”

It was the little guy Yun Liang beside Pei Lin who spoke, he glanced at the people around Su Qingmo, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "The villain greets His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan." ”

"No need to be polite."

Yun Liang got up and said to Su Qingmo with a smile on his face: "Cousin girl, the young master was planning to leave tomorrow to find you, but he didn't expect to meet here, if the young master knows, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Su Qingmo was about to open his mouth when he heard Qingzhu behind him say coldly: "You should call the princess." ”

Yun Liang was reminded by Qingzhu, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he said in a regular manner: "The villain is rude, I hope the princess will forgive the sins." ”

Su Qingmo smiled, "It's okay, Cousin Pei lives here?" ”

This time, Yun Liang's reply was a lot more regular, "Back to the princess, the young master is resting here, and the villain will lead you to the young master." ”

Su Qingmo bowed, and several people followed Yun Liang to the second floor of the inn, Yongan fell at the back of the team, and after opening the room with the shopkeeper when he passed by the counter, he ran a few steps to catch up with the team.
