Chapter 2 The Book of Ghosts Devouring Heaven

The third prince took it and looked at it, it was a wooden card, the whole body was pitch black, I don't know what material it was made of, and two blood-colored words were written on it: ghost devouring.

"What is this?" The first time he saw it, asked strangely.

"My subordinates searched the house just now and saw it on the table. If you guessed correctly...... It should be the legend in the rivers and lakes: the Ghost Devouring Order!"

Seeing that the third prince looked dazed, he paused and said: "This ghost devouring order is extraordinary, if our master and servant come a few hours earlier, I am afraid that they will also lie on this corpse mountain at this moment."

"You mean that the people of the Feng Mansion were the work of this licensed person?"

"There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes: the ghost devours the order, and the ghost asks for his life." Leng Xiao said solemnly.

His face was a little pale and panicked, "No one knows if it's a person or an organization, and no one knows when it's going to show up. For all that were seen were dead, and there was no trace of the dead, and there were no bones. It's just that a piece of this token will be left at the scene, so people know that there is such a terrifying existence. ”

"No bones?" The third prince turned around and looked behind him, the corpse mountain melted and became much smaller again, and there was a chill in his heart, "What kind of means is this?" Why are all the bones melted? ”

"This is the legendary ghost devouring Ling's unique poison, killing people invisibly, turning bones into souls, if this poison accidentally gets on the skin there is no cure, and the whole body slowly festers and dies. It is colorless and tasteless, and if it is eaten, it will start to corrode from the internal organs, and it will turn into blood within a few hours. ”

"Since you left a sign to kill someone, you just want people to know that it was the Ghost Devouring Order, so why do you have to melt the corpse again?"

"My subordinates just heard that the ghost devouring order was issued by a messenger from hell. Ask for people's lives, turn into their physical bodies, and fall into hell forever, so that they will never be reincarnated, and they will never be reborn. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and the whole courtyard seemed even more eerie and terrifying, and a few bird calls came from time to time in the mountains and forests not far away, and it seemed like people whispering when they listened carefully.

Some of the eagles had already smelled the stench of the carcass and gathered to hover in the air, waiting for an opportunity to peck at them.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, the moon is big and full has risen to the middle of the sky, the bright moonlight is white all around, the two of them looked at the stump and broken arm on the corpse mountain, and felt a burst of cold.

"Third son, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to leave as soon as possible. There are hundreds of people in the Feng Mansion, there are many bodyguards in the nursing home, and their martial arts must not be weak, all of them were killed. If there is a case for staying again, it is not a pity for the subordinates, but you can't have anything, the task of our trip cannot be delayed, otherwise it will miss the plan of the second son! Leng Xiao persuaded.

"Hey!" The third prince was moved, thinking of the task of his trip, "Okay!" Let's go! As he spoke, he turned around, planning to withdraw and continue to Yangzhou. When I walked to the gate, I couldn't help but turn around and look, and I saw the landscape painting on the screen and the three words: Yunmeng Mountain.

The third prince suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Got it! ”

Leng Xiao was taken aback.

"Quick, let's go look for it, maybe the Ghost Devouring Order is looking for this, let's look for it too." The third prince said and rushed into the courtyard.

Leng Xiao quickly chased after him, "What are we looking for?" ”

"Wordless Heavenly Book!"

The two searched inside and outside the courtyard, and Leng Xiao couldn't help asking, "Is the third prince talking about the book of the legend of the rivers and lakes?" ”

The third prince was a little frustrated: "Yes, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the heavens feel the chaos of the war in the Central Plains, and the lives are devastated, so the wordless heavenly book of Guiguzi thousands of years ago reappeared in the rivers and lakes." Let the capable people get it, so as to help them dominate the world. ”

"My subordinates seem to have heard this rumor, but they didn't take it seriously. Could it be that Gongzi thinks that this book of heaven is in the Feng Mansion? ”

"I don't dare to say whether the Book of Heaven appears here, but I guessed it when I saw the stone screen at this gate?"

"What's so strange about Shiping?"

"I think it's because Feng Yansi has a lot of respect for Guiguzi, and Yunmeng Mountain is where Guiguzi cultivated back then."

"No wonder! Still Childe understands more. ”

The third prince shook his head and said: "Feng Yansi claims that his ancestor is a disciple of Guiguzi, and his learning is derived from the true biography of Guiguzi. I heard the second brother talk about some things about the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Our lord regards this Feng Yansi as a great talent, but the second brother doesn't seem to be cutting him. ”

"Could it be that others suspect that this book of heaven is in Feng Yansi's hands. That's why you suffered this catastrophe? Even if the Book of Heaven was really in the Feng Mansion, it was taken away by the Ghost Devouring Order. It's not a good place to stay for a long time, so let's go! Leng Xiao urged.

"Legend has it that the Book of Heaven records endless treasures and strategies for governing the country. If you can get the Book of Heaven, it will be like a tiger with wings to the great cause! The third prince stomped his feet regretfully, "Let's go!" Since we didn't get the Book of Heaven, I hope we don't go to Yangzhou in vain. ”

********

Yangzhou City.

Early in the morning, the streets are bustling, bustling everywhere, and all kinds of juggling snacks are a lively scene.

There were too many people pushing and pushing on the street, and there was no way to ride horses, so the two of them had to pull and walk slowly.

The third prince was tired and hungry, and asked irritably: "What day is this, why are there so many people?" ”

"Go down and ask if there's a shortcut." Leng Xiao said.

The third prince forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart, he had been depressed since he came out of Feng's mansion last night, and many doubts in his heart could not be solved.

Leng Xiao walked into a small grocery store on the side of the road, stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Uncle is doing well!" So many people early in the morning. ”

The old man in the grocery store was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "There are happy events in the city, so naturally it is lively early in the morning, and this business has been very good in the past two days." Hehe......"

"Dare to ask what is the happy event?"

"Did the little brother just come to Yangzhou today?"

Leng Xiao nodded.

"That's no wonder, it's to celebrate Master Yun's birthday, so it's so lively."

"Master Yun? But Yunbo City? When the third prince heard this name, he couldn't help but interject and ask.

The old man glanced at him with some disgust: "How can Master Yun's name be called!" Every year on his birthday, the Yun family has to break the fast, send silver bags, for three consecutive days, the old man and I will receive two taels of silver! Bold enough, right? ”

looked at Leng Xiao again and said, "Little brother, you came just in time, if you want to get porridge and silver bags, go to Yunfu!" After this day, there will be none. ”

"Whoever goes to receive it? It's going to cost a lot of money! Leng Xiao was a little surprised.

"Of course!" The old man said with an exaggerated expression: "Boxes of white flowers and silver are about to fill the entire street!" The outsiders who had never seen it were all frightened. "Straight to the mouth of the spitting froth.

"Only our Yunda good people in Yangzhou, Master Yun, can do it on his birthday. So at this time of year in Yangzhou, it is very lively! People from all over the country come here, and it is more lively than watching the lanterns during the New Year! The more the old man spoke, the happier he became, and his face was full of admiration.

"That's to hurry up and take a look, dare to ask the old man, how to get to Yunfu? It's just that there are so many people on the street, is there a shortcut to get there faster? ”

When the old man heard this, he became even more excited, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Then you can ask the right person, pass through my backyard, walk along the alley, about a stick of incense, and then turn left to go out, and you can get to the backyard of the Yun family." ”

The third prince just nodded slightly, looking thoughtful, and didn't pay much attention to their conversation.

Leng Xiao hurriedly thanked him, gave the old man a few taels of silver, and asked him to help look at the horse in front of the door.

The two of them walked out through the backyard of the grocery store according to the old man's instructions.

The old man in the back also chased and shouted: "Yunfu is big, you can only go to the backyard, and you have to go around to the main gate to get the silver......"

The third prince was already impatient, and ran away from the backyard to start light work, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Leng Xiao hurriedly followed.

The alley was very quiet, and a few passers-by only saw two black shadows flashing by, and thought they were dazzled.

Sure enough, according to the instructions, after a while, they arrived at the base of the wall of a compound. The high wall and red tiles, looking at the momentum, should be Yunfu.

Leng Xiao looked at it and asked, "Third Prince, there is no door here, do we want to go around to the main gate?" ”

The third prince didn't speak, and as soon as he raised his body, he flew to the top of the tree on the side of the road with a "whoosh".

Looking into the distance, I saw that the vermilion courtyard wall was continuous, and it seemed that I couldn't see the end.

I thought to myself: "I didn't expect this Cloud Mansion to be so big, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to find the main gate, not to mention that there are so many people waiting to receive the wallet." It's definitely hard to squeeze in. I couldn't help frowning.

Looking inside the wall, all you can see is the lush treetops.

After thinking about it in his heart, he made a gesture for Leng Xiao below.

With a lift of his body, he leaned on a tree branch, jumped two vertically, and jumped into the wall.
