Sister-in-law Jiang and Ah Xiang soon found the mark left by Yuan Qingmou on the dirt road: it was a "incense" character made from tree branches, which was hung in a prominent position on a tree on the side of the road. Due to the hurry of weaving branches, the word "incense" at each mark is large and small. Ah Xiang smiled deliciously: "This ghost guy really has a lot of eyes." Sister-in-law Jiang also thinks this mark is quite special. can see Ah Xiang's demeanor, it seems that the relationship with the black-clothed masked man is unusual. That's weird! Now that they know, why does the masked man in black refuse to take off his mask? Moreover, listening to Lu Li's words, it seems that the black-clothed masked man is named Yuan Qingmou.

The two followed the instructions of the mark and came to Suicheng all the way. This is a big city in the country of Xu. When you enter the city gate, the street facing the gate is full of shops on the left and right. There are also quite a few vendors on the streets. Sell things for girls. The two forgot about their fatigue and watched. Seeing the items she liked, Ah Xiang got a little carried away and kept playing with them. But Sister-in-law Jiang knew that she had no money in her pocket now.

Suddenly, Sister-in-law Jiang stopped. A shop on the side of the road caught her attention, and the name of the store turned out to be "Witch House". On the wall next to the entrance of the store, there was a small model figure in silk paste, a woman, wearing a black robe, a black top hat, and a walking stick in her hand. Isn't this the same as the image of the master's contempt!

"Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang, come and see!"

Ah Xiang came over and smiled, "How can you imitate your former master!" Pulled Sister-in-law Jiang: "Let's go, go in and have a look!" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang felt a little risky, and grabbed Ah Xiang: "Don't go!" ”

Ah Xiang didn't care, and dragged Sister-in-law Jiang away. Pushing open the door, the room was quite spacious, but empty, with no one but a low stone table at the innermost end, on which were offered fruits, dried fruits, and so on. On either side of the offering table, apparently the door, is tightly closed.

"Anyone?" Ah Xiang shouted in a big way.

There was no answer.

Ah Xiang smiled: "Hey! Isn't this a witch house? Since she is a witch, she should go up to the heavens and go down to the earth. Can you tell me who I am? Say it, and I'll recognize you as a real witch, and I'll give you a lot of publicity, and I'll reward you with money. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang pulled her and didn't want her to talk nonsense. But Ah Xiang broke away and continued: "Don't shrink your neck and pretend to be deaf. Tell you, I'm better than you as a witch! ”

"Really?" A woman's voice came out, very clearly, but it came from nowhere, full of sarcasm. "You call yourself Ah Xiang, and the woman next to you calls herself Jade Core, do you think I don't know the way?"

Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang were both taken aback. Ah Xiang pulled Sister-in-law Jiang and took a step back alertly. Unexpectedly, the door behind him closed with a bang. Ah Xiang pulled Sister-in-law Jiang and slammed the door hard, but she couldn't hit it. The door was made of so thick wood that it might not have been able to be cut through with a knife.

"Don't bother!" It was still the woman's shout.

The doors on either side of the offering table opened, and three men and one woman walked out. The woman was in her twenties, very white and delicate, and her eyes seemed to be trapped in an ancient cave. She was dressed in a white robe, covered with white gauze, and held in her hand a stick identical to that of the one she was holding.

"Let me introduce myself, the little woman's name is Zihe." The woman said, "Ah Xiang, Yuxin, it is impossible for the two of you to run out of the city today." Want to live? The voice was full of contempt.

Ah Xiang pretended to be afraid: "We are terrible to death, very scared!" Can you let us go? I have money, lots and lots of money, and I can give it to you. ”

Zihe sneered: "Don't pretend! You're penniless now, aren't you? If I can come up with the money, not much, ten taels of silver, I will release him immediately. ”

"Talking counts?"

"No deception!"

Ah Xiang turned to Sister-in-law Jiang: "Yuxin, you go and get the money, I'll leave the quality!" ”

Zihe Ha Luha smiled: "Ah Xiang, I have heard about your rogue methods a long time ago. Today, no one wants to get out of here. You have another choice, and that is to be honest. If I can tell the truth, I will release you after three days. If you don't tell the truth, kill it right now. ”

Ah Xiang smiled: "It's really interesting! You're learning spiders, aren't you? Setting up this witch house is equivalent to setting up a net, waiting for the prey to hit the net. Count me Ah Xiang doesn't have long eyes, let's shoot! If you want me Ah Xiang to surrender, go dream! ”

Zihe said: "You think you are amazing? In fact. You're just a little shrimp, but we caught it in easily. Let me tell you the truth, this net we have opened is not waiting for an unknown person like you. I'll show you something new. ”

Purple Lotus clapped her hands. In each of the two doors, five women came out, all in their twenties and thirties, and not too young. Sister-in-law Jiang and Ah Xiang were shocked: ten women, all dressed in magician costumes from the time of the contemptuous practice, holding crutches. They stopped on both sides in unison, their expressions serious.

Zihe shouted: "Practice! ”

The ten witches at once slowly lifted their crutches and pointed them to the sky, and uttered words that could not be heard clearly, nor were they spoken in contempt, but as if they were singing. As they recited, the room slowly darkened, getting darker and darker. Sister-in-law Jiang noticed that the curtains were closed. The curtain must be connected somewhere behind the wall in the house, because no one can see the curtain drawn in the house.

The room was even darker, almost pitch black. Suddenly, above the two opposite doors, two banners hung down, and the banners shone brightly, and the words on the banners were clearly revealed, which read: "The goddess is coming, the heavens and the earth are clear." "It's the same banner that Ran used at the scene of Ning Hu's arrest.

"The goddess is coming, and the heavens and the earth are clear." Ten witches, chanted neatly.

"Hahaha!" Ah Xiang smiled, "Didn't you learn from that goddess in Wangcheng!" Learn from others, no shame! Don't you blush? ”

Zihe was annoyed, but he didn't say a word, looking at the witches expectantly. The witches' crutches pointed first at the sky, and then slowly fell. Suddenly, as if they had rehearsed in advance, the witches brushed the ground and surrounded Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang, and ten crutches pointed at them together. The content of the recitation in the mouth changed, as if it had been evil, and became passionate and crazy, sonorous and powerful.

"Hahaha!" Although Ah Xiang was surrounded in the middle, she couldn't help but laugh, "What are you messy about?" The old cow is like a broken grinding, squeaking, is there any shame? Wrong, all wrong, the words I read are toad not blind toad, where is it like a witch! ”

Zihe sneered. As if the witches had been instructed, ten crutches suddenly pointed at Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang still wanted to scream, but she smelled a peculiar smell in her mouth and nose, and before she could figure it out, her body was numb for a while, and she immediately became soft, and she slowly fell to the ground. Sister-in-law Jiang shouted, "What are you going to do? Ten crutches immediately pointed at her, and she, like Ah Xiang, was numb and slowly sat down.

Zihe smiled wickedly and approached them: "How is it, the taste is good?" ”

"No...... Okay, really...... No...... Not good. Ah Xiang spoke intermittently.

"If you know that the Tao is not good, you will cooperate with us. I ask you three questions, and if you answer them obediently, I will give you an antidote and set you free. The first question is, who are you supporting, and who is the black-clad and masked man? The second question is, how did you come to Suicheng, others know the way but don't know how you came. The third question is what the witch Qin Wuran is capable of, and how to pronounce her spells. ”

Ah Xiang said with difficulty: "I...... I...... Whole...... Omniscient, but I ...... I...... Just no...... Don't tell you. ”

Zihe said: "Do you think you can survive it?" Dream on! Say, say it! ”

But Ah Xiang and Sister-in-law Jiang didn't say anything important. Zihe lost his patience in the end, and jumped three feet in the fire. She separated Ah Xiang from Sister-in-law Jiang. Sister-in-law Jiang was taken into the house and into a hole in the ground. The cave is actually a rather large room, with beds, and oil lamps are floor-to-ceiling, like a large lotus flower. Sister-in-law Jiang was arranged to sit on the bed, and Zihe sat in front of her and gently persuaded her.

Zihe said: "Yuxin, I will explain the plain when I understand people." I belong to the royal family and call today's Xu Wang Zhangyu as my uncle. What a glorious history our Xu country has had, and what a powerful kingdom it has founded! But now, our territory is getting smaller and smaller, and our national strength is getting weaker and weaker. The states of Song, Wu, and Chu around us are becoming stronger and stronger, and we can only be in the company of small countries like Zhong Wu and Yi. We are in danger of perdition! You are a citizen of the Xu Kingdom, and you have to help us. ”

Only then did Sister-in-law Jiang know what kind of people they were, and why did they have such a great power and get so many witches. Sister-in-law Jiang sighed in her heart: Do you know what nationality I am? I am actually Qi Min, and my family was ruined by the war. I hate that you are fighting like this, and I hate fighting like this, making the people unhappy. I just hope to find a man I love and live a good life. I want to protect my relatives, my relatives are Qin Wuran, and I will not let you harm her.

Sister-in-law Jiang pretended to be scared: "What did you say...... Said ...... What is it? I...... I...... Really, really...... I don't understand. I'm Ah Xiang...... A ...... under Ah Xiang's hand A maiden waits for her. Other...... I don't know anything else. ”

Zihe was very patient and continued to persuade her, which made Sister-in-law Jiang annoyed.

Sister-in-law Jiang didn't let go, didn't confide a word, Zihe was helpless. She leaned around and said, "Why are you so stubborn to the end? You might think that your witch Qin Ran can indeed channel her spirits, right? But we're the same. Without her spells, she can also be spiritual. She shouted outside, "Come on, take them to see how great our supernatural powers really are!" ”

Sister-in-law Jiang was pulled out of the room, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was going to face. But she still understood, they were afraid of the master, and they were anxious to know the spell of the master of the Dao Dao, and they wanted to be able to communicate like the master. That's why they do whatever it takes.

Sister-in-law Jiang was extremely worried. Ah! The master can't get into their trap.
