"There is something wrong with this piece of yellow paper," looking at the yellow paper with an ancient fire character written on it in cinnabar, the soul energy hidden in the dantian, there was a sudden commotion.

Then Mo Fan felt that the yellow paper in his hand suddenly became hot, as if it was not a piece of paper, but a piece of burning charcoal.

This is also the reason for his great change.

It looks like an ordinary piece of paper, but there is a hidden energy inside.

With this alone, the ripples in his heart were difficult to calm down.

Not to mention Jiayan and Haolin, who gave him this piece of yellow paper, saw each other at first sight from the day before yesterday, and looked gentle and elegant, with a Confucian spirit.

But from the kind of temperament emanating from the two of them, he could sense that these two scholars were not simple.

Coupled with the intentional or unintentional observation in the past two days, I found that the two of them always haunt those villages where strange phenomena occur.

Whether it's day or night, you can come out of the villages that should be said to have ghosts, and you can come out safely.

From here, the extraordinaryness of the two of them can be reflected, and now that this yellow paper is being added, it is even more in response to his conjecture.

It's just that he can't guess why a scholar has the ability to be afraid of ghosts, as well as this yellow paper, how the energy in it is sealed, and what role it has.

It's all a mystery.

Fortunately, what reassured him was that Jiayan and Haolin, the two scholars, had no ill will towards him.

Picking up the flying thoughts, he looked at the two people who had disappeared into the rain.

It's a pity that the two white clothes are gone, and his eyes are retracted, Mo Fan thought so.

Then he turned and went back to the wing, found a hat to put on, and went out again.

.......

Tick! Tick! Tick!

It's the sound of raindrops hitting the ground along the hat.

Two miles south of the Soul Temple, on the road leading to Crimson Cloud City.

I saw two men riding tall black horses, wearing coats and hats, riding their horses and stopping there, looking at the redwood forest in the southwest through the rain.

"Lao Jiu, find out if the Confucian master brought two students here for the purpose,"

In the drizzling rain, on the puddled road, a thin man with a hat riding a big black horse frowned and asked another man with a strong body on the side.

"There's no news yet," replied the muscular man, shaking his head.

"That'...... What do you mean by those people in the inner city of Scarlet Cloud City," Hearing the strong man in the hat answer, the thin man in the hat pondered for a while and then asked.

"That boy must die." The man with a strong body on the side replied with certainty.

"In that case, then they didn't agree to the conditions we proposed."

"Promised." The man with a strong body said with a look of joy on his face.

"Oh, then kill." Hearing that Scarlet Cloud City agreed to the conditions, a cold light shot out of the thin hat man's eyes, and he said quietly.

"Yes...... Sixth brother, those two scholars seem to be very close to the boy in the past two days. The sturdy man turned his head to look at the thin man beside him, and said with a little worry.

"That's also dead, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to wash our hands, and after killing that young man, those two scholars will really come out, and they will have those people in the inner city of Scarlet Cloud City to help us deal with it." The thin man with a hat replied with a look of foresight in his eyes.

"That makes sense, then I'll arrange for someone to go," after listening to the explanation of the thin and weak hat man, the strong hat man raised his whip and whipped his horse's hips and ran to the east.

And the thin man in the hat hesitated for a while in the rain, and his eyes gradually shifted from the redwood forest in the southwest to the soul temple in the north.

After quietly looking at the time of the incense, he rode towards the northwest of Xixiang Town.

Because it won't be long before the town of Xixiang may become their territory.

......

Woniu Village is located five miles northeast of the Soul Temple, because the village is built in a ditch shaped like a cow, so it is named Woniu Village.

Because of its low-lying terrain, the village is full of puddles like lakes during the summer rainy season.

So the villagers of Woniu Village built their houses on trees.

However, just five days ago, in the sparsely populated Woniu Village, like other nearby villages, a villager suddenly died mysteriously.

This frightened the people in the village, and after discussing with the village chief, they all moved to Xixiang Town the day before yesterday.

Therefore, the current Woniu Village has become an uninhabited deserted village.

But in such a deserted village, at three o'clock in the afternoon, a young man wearing only a hat and wading through the deep water in his calf walked in.

The hat lifted up, and his eyes looked through the rain to the deserted Woniu Village.

Mo Fan's sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

When I passed here seven days ago, I saw people walking around in the houses on several large trees.

Now, in just a few days, I didn't expect it to lose the smell of fireworks and become a deserted village.

You don't have to think about it to know why people are leaving, everyone has fear in their hearts, and everyone is afraid of death.

Originally, Mo Fan's plan today was to go to a village not far from the redwood forest in the west to find the corpse on the second mission of the waist card.

But in the morning, Jiayan and Haolin's reminder said that there were wild beasts roaming in a village five miles northeast of the Soul Temple.

But as far as he knew, there was only one village five miles northeast of the Soul Temple, and that was Woniu Village.

Due to the geographical location of Woniu Village, the houses are built on trees five or six meters high.

Therefore, in the past few decades, even if a wild beast escapes from the deep ditch and old forest, it will not choose to forage in Woniu Village.

This also means that Jiayan and Haolin's words lied to him, and the real reason for not letting him come here is probably that there are ghosts here.

With this in mind, he decided to come here first.

It's just that what he didn't think about was that here......

Forehead......

Looking at the Woniu Village where the puddle was like a lake, Mo Fan regretted a little that he wouldn't have come if he knew it wouldn't have come.

Only now did he enter the entrance of the village, and the stagnant water had not reached his calves, and he would enter the village in a while, and he would not be completely submerged.

Fortunately, his worries were a little unnecessary, and as he walked a few dozen meters inside, the water was still only up to his calves.

At this time, his hanging heart was put down, and if the water was getting deeper and deeper, he could only retreat.

After letting go of the hanging heart, he waded through the water to the center of the village and looked around at the dozen or so houses built on trees.

Suddenly, a dog barked from one of the trees in the house.

Woof......

Hearing a dog barking, Mo Fan frowned, and was about to go to the treehouse to have a look.

However, at this time, only listen to the outside of the village behind him.

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the rain.

Turning around, I saw a line of bandits dressed in robes, wearing hats, and holding bright broadswords.

Rushing to Woniu Village, he galloped here.
