The scorching summer is coming to an end of the early autumn atmosphere, and this time has come to September. At this time, the Supreme Treasure in Japan also went to Mr. Plum Blossom several times, but there was no news every time, not to talk about life and death, and not to talk about whereabouts. It was really a time to see that the Supreme Treasure was anxious to cry, and Mr. Plum Blossom sighed and said: "Life and death are uncertain, the cycle of cause and effect, there is a great variable in the August fate, it is really not easy to find out - you wait for the mountain to learn the arts, wait!" When it comes to knowing, you will know. ”

I won't say much about the rest.

The Supreme Treasure only said that Mr. Plum Blossom did not want to say, and remembered the words of bitter tea in his heart, but he blindly practiced martial arts desperately, and wanted to wait until he could visit one day.

On September 19, frost fell.

The Supreme Treasure is running laps with the stone lock in the school field, and suddenly heard the sound of Jin Ming coming from the direction of the hall, he has been on the mountain for a long time, and naturally knows that it is the order of the summoning, so he hurriedly put down the stone lock and rushed to the hall, and when he saw in the hall, the disciples have been standing in shifts, and the position that has been vacant for a long time is sitting on the figure of Mr. Plum Blossom!

The mountain rain is coming, and the feeling of the wind is full of buildings!

When everyone arrived, Mr. Plum Blossom looked around and said loudly: "Today, I suddenly got a letter from the Zen master presided over by Hanshan Temple, saying that the White Lotus Sect in the south is now gathering people to make trouble, and the trouble is against the wall, and the matter there is quite tricky, and I want to ask the teacher to go to help." The Hanshan Temple and the old teacher can't shirk it, so I went down the mountain and walked that way. Tomorrow, I will go with Wanzhu and six disciples to help, and everything in the mountains will be handed over to you, Uncle Baihe. ”

Hearing that they could go down the mountain, all the disciples were very excited, completely ignoring the danger of going down the mountain to help the fist, just thinking that they could go out to have a look, and their faces were also happy. When Mr. Na Mei pointed out the names of the six disciples, he said, "Go back and pack your bags immediately, check the talismans, pen and ink, red threads, and money you have prepared, and you must not miss the slightest, and you will go with me early tomorrow morning." ”

And when he had finished speaking, he dispersed all the people.

The six disciples led by Mr. Meihua were all the older ones, and the ones left behind were all teenagers, and the older ones were only two or three people from Miao Feng and the others, plus the hundred cranes, a total of eighteen people, plus some fireworkers and miscellaneous men on the mountain, there were only twenty-four people. They got up early in the morning and lined up on the side of the mountain to watch Mr. Plum Blossom and his party leave, their eyes full of envy.

These eleven or twelve-year-old disciples were not considered disciples of the sect before they passed the Yin Slashing Spell.

When the group had all left the mountain, the hundred cranes called all the disciples together and ordered: "Now that the master has gone to help the fist, the older disciples in the mountains have also gone with a lot, and you have to pay attention to your current cultivation - I have announced to you today three prohibitions: first, everyone must not be lazy and slow to abandon their cultivation, from now on, all the points are in this hall, it is indispensable, and the violator will be punished with ten strokes; Second, no one shall cross the iron chains to the other side without my permission, and the offender shall weigh forty rods; Third, everyone is not allowed to enter the residence of the master and the master, and the master is forbidden to the place, and the violators will be expelled from the master's door, and they will be executed immediately! He slowly brushed his gaze over everyone's faces, and shouted, "Is it clear? ”

The disciples responded in unison: "Clear." ”

Later, Baihe divided the four older disciples, including Miao Feng, into four classes, and took two younger disciples to guard the iron chain bridge every day, which was regarded as settling down the precautions on the mountain. There are often tigers and bears in the mountains, so this arrangement can be regarded as cautious, if ordinary people don't know, who would have guessed that the five short thick men would have such careful thoughts?

Since then, every day the people in the mountains will stay in this square circle of Xu to practice, the Supreme Treasure does not pay attention to others, but he is diligent every day, always hard, whenever he thinks of the situation of the city god temple ghost market, his eyes are a little confused, until the heart is a little settled, but it is a hard practice.

Days passed in a hurry, and the day had come again. A cadre of disciples came to the hall from all over the mountain, lined up in shifts, and when the bell rang for the third time, Miao Feng immediately took out the scroll, and first replied: "There are a total of three people on duty today, disciples Huang Datong, Lu Wen, and Hao Fugui. Baihe nodded slightly: "Order." ”

The Miao Feng was about to get yer, and suddenly heard a commotion outside the hall, and two people rushed in, and they shouted in the hall just now: "Uncle Shi... Uncle Shi is not good..."

Baihe saw that he was an eleven or twelve-year-old disciple in the sect, and he was young and didn't understand the rules, so he only asked the reason: "What's the matter?" All the fuss? He saw that the disciple's face was pale and he knew that something was wrong, but he didn't blame him first.

The young boy said angrily: "Horse... Martha is dead! The hundred cranes were taken aback, and suddenly stood up and shouted, "Dead?!" How did he die? How do you know? "Ma Dadao is a registered disciple, the previous batch of people in the mountain did not pass the Yin cut and then stayed to work, the fire workers in the mountains, the miscellaneous are all like this, it is also a means of making a living, Ma Dadao is the person in charge of the orchard and vegetable garden.

The rest of the disciples immediately looked at each other and whispered.

The boy replied, "Teacher... Teacher! We were just backing the book, listening to the bell to pack up the books before leaving, and we fell behind everyone, we were afraid that we would not be able to hurry up and climb over the two courtyard walls, who knew that when we turned the second road, we saw a person lying in the melon orchard. When I went to look, I saw that the horse was lying on the ground..."

Baihe asked rhetorically, "Can you see clearly?" Didn't you fall asleep with a drink? Are there any injuries on your body? The boy waved his hand again and again: "No, no!" Uncle Shi, it should be dead, but there are really no scars. ”

Baihe nodded: "Okay!" I'm going to take a look. Qin Feng, you stay here and continue to order, Zhao Feng accompanies you, Ding Qi, you go with me. Just about to leave, he suddenly shouted again: "Bao'er, you come too." ”

The four older disciples in the mountain, Miao Feng, Ding Qi, Zhao Feng, and Huang Datong are a total of four, Huang Datong stayed in the iron lock crossing, and Miao Feng and Zhao Feng were left in the hall here, and it was expected that there would be no incident, but Baihe was still not very relieved, and he still took the Supreme Treasure with him without knowing what he was doing.

The three of them walked quickly to the courtyard, and as soon as they arrived, they saw that the horse was lying under a clump of fruit trees, with no scars on his body, and his tentacles were still a little warm, and it seemed that he had not been dead for too long. Baihe looked around and said lightly: "After a person dies, it takes two hours for the body to be cold and stiff, and according to this temperature, it will be an hour and a half." This place is secluded and there are few people, if they hadn't climbed over the wall, how could they see the corpse? ”

Baihe didn't know medical skills, but he didn't know what the cause of death was when he saw that there were no scars on this person's body, and he immediately hesitated in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it accurately, and waited for half a ring before saying: "Ding Qi, take off all his clothes for me." ”

All the clothes were taken off and examined, Ma Dadao really had no scars on his body, and there were no bruises, bruises, bruises and blackened places, his face was calm and serene, but it really seemed like he was asleep, if it weren't for the cold body and no breathing, it would be really difficult to distinguish.

Seeing the look of embarrassment on Uncle Shi's face, Ding Qi suddenly said, "Uncle Shi, do you want to summon spirits to ask?" He figured out Baihe's mind and said: "This matter is very strange, if you don't find out, I'm afraid everyone is not at ease, right?" ”

Baihe nodded and said, "I think about it too, it seems that I still have to..." The Supreme Treasure suddenly interjected on the side: "Uncle Shi, it is useless to summon spirits." ”

"Oh?" The two of them were suddenly surprised: "How do you know?" "On weekdays, the Supreme Treasure on the mountain does not speak much, and he has no friends or anything like that, and no one knows that he can see ghosts; Mr. Plum Blossom was careful about this, but the result was not told to the disciples, so no one knew about it.

If it is a weekday to the treasure, he may not show it, but at the moment he can't take care of it, he pointed to the corpse and said: "Senior uncle and senior brother, it is said that after death, the soul will immediately be separated from the skin and overflow, and when it cools down, when all the three souls and seven spirits are separated from the body, they will condense and form next to the corpse - but I have not seen a soul overflowing from the corpse until I got here, let alone condensed and formed now; In addition, the corpse was soft and soft, and there was a yin rush invading from time to time, and there was no sign of soul in the skin! So I guess that Senior Brother Ma should have taken away his soul with a spell, and you can't summon the soul. ”

The deceased is the greatest, and he also respectfully calls him a senior brother, which is much more than those disciples in the mountains.

Yin Chong is the yin energy between heaven and earth, that is, the so-called constancy, after the death of a person, the soul belongs to yin, the body belongs to yang, with the cold yang of the body decay and the soul overflows, to maintain the number of the body's constancy, Yin Chong invasion means that there is no yin in the body, and the yin energy between heaven and earth is needed to make up for the deficiency. Baihe and Ding Qi are all cultivators in the mountains, who have seen so many lives and deaths on weekdays, this section is not ignorant, one is that they can't see the things of the underworld without casting spells, and the other is that they haven't thought of it.

Baihe and Ding Qi glanced at each other, and there was a bit of horror in their eyes, if what the Supreme Treasure said was true, it would be clear that someone had come up to the mountain to kill people and seek revenge - this inference was appalling and incredible, it was really something that had not happened in a hundred years, and it was even more difficult to believe! But if you don't believe it, the Supreme Treasure is conclusive, and the two of them know the situation, so they have to believe it.

The stakes are very important, Baihe didn't dare to be gullible, and hurriedly asked Na Ding Qi to fetch the water. This water is the same as the one that Wang August had mixed at the beginning, the only difference is that the materials selected are better, and the effect is even worse, except for the ghosts, you can especially see the place where the scattered souls and wandering spirits are condensed.

The two of them wiped it on their eyes, and sure enough, it was really like the words of the Supreme Treasure, this matter was absolutely false, it was really soulless!

A strong enemy is coming!

Baihe immediately understood the situation at this moment, and didn't say much, just walked to the cliff and threw the corpse into the valley to prevent someone from borrowing the corpse to cast a spell, and then immediately took the two of them back to the hall.

The disciples were still waiting for Baihe to come back, and when they saw that his face was blue and ugly, and his beard was all open, they didn't dare to speak, and they all waited quietly to speak.

Baihe sat down and sighed, and was about to speak, when suddenly he heard another messy footsteps outside the hall!

He stood up suddenly.
