Almost everyone heard the scream, and when the group came to Qiuzi, they couldn't even enter the city gate, and when they heard about the evil things in the town, they didn't sleep soundly, and when they heard this terrible sound in a half-dream, they could really frighten people's hearts.

"Princess......" Feng Yan sat up in shock, seeing that Liu Ye and Qing Ling were fine, she patted her chest with palpitations, "You, you guys, did you hear that?" The sound just now ......"

Liu Ye and Qing Ling nodded silently, and looked at Zhao Ziqing and the young man with a tacit understanding, for fear that they would also be frightened. The two children were probably very sleepy after a day's journey, and they slept very deeply, and then turned over and fell asleep again.

"I'll get out of the car and take a look." Qing Ling said softly, tiptoeing up the curtain and jumping out of the carriage.

The medicine gourd was facing the northwest direction, Shi Zhong and Chang Hui stood nervously on his left and right, and Tu Qitang, accompanied by his attendants, leaned on the carriage and looked at it from a distance, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, his sullen expression looked quite tangled.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Qing Ling knew that something must be wrong, so he quietly walked over and concentrated on the northwest peak. The city walls stretched from east to west mountains, especially the western peaks, and the northwest peak was so steep that it seemed to be cut down with a knife, without even a single edge.

After being silent for a long time, the medicine gourd still didn't give an answer, he just watched intently, sometimes sighing softly, sometimes meditating.

Chang Hui didn't have the patience to wait, but he didn't dare to disturb the medicine gourd, and gave Qing Ling a look while he was anxious, hoping that she could act as a bird.

Qingling is a righteous girl, Chang Hui has helped her, she is a friend, and it is nothing to help him. Although Yao Hulu doesn't like to be disturbed, if someone dares to interrupt his train of thought, he will definitely summon a scolding, but she is his granddaughter, even if she is angry, she will not take it to heart.

"Grandfather, did you hear that voice coming from the other mountain?" Qing Ling asked him softly, but the medicine gourd did not respond, apparently her inference was correct.

Qing Ling pursed his lips and continued to ask, "So, what is the matter of the evil sect on the mountain?" ”

Yao Hulu's body trembled, and he turned his head stiffly to look at her, the cold light of the small eyes under the long white eyebrows suddenly appeared, and Qing Ling shrank his head and swallowed his saliva, reflexively trying to escape.

The strange gaze of the medicine gourd swept towards the people behind Qing Ling, knowing that they were all concerned about the same issue, sighed again, shook his head helplessly, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

"It's about the same time, isn't it?" The medicine gourd reached out and rubbed his temples, and said a little tiredly.

"No, it's already a child's time." Shi Zhong corrected.

"Child?" The medicine gourd raised his head and stared at Shi Zhong in horror, "You said it's time now?" It's time so soon? ”

Shi Zhong was a little surprised, but nodded honestly: "Yes, it's the time of the child." ”

The attendant beside Tu Qitang leaned over with his hand, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Yes, I heard someone in the town beating ...... just now."

The medicine gourd glanced over, and the attendant hurriedly shut up and retreated back the way he came.

"Zishi, Zishi, it turned out to be Zishi......" Yaohulu muttered and repeated, as if he was in some kind of demonic way.

Everyone held their breath and stared, and they didn't dare to come out, Feng Yan and Liu Ye in the carriage looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do. In ancient times, Zishi refers to the period from 11 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning, and it is also the time when the Yin and Yang realms are handed over in legends.

Liu Ye has heard this legend in modern times, and other people born in ancient times know this better, that scream should have come from Zishi, look at the restless appearance of the medicine gourd, is there really a demon and monster around?

Tu Qitang cheered up, silently slipped to Liu Ye's carriage, and knocked on the window twice. Liu Ye came out to look and saw that his face was pale, his usual chic appearance was gone, and there was something called fear flashing in his watery eyes.

"Hey, did you hear what he said?" Tu Qitang tried to pretend to be calm, Liu Ye felt funny in his heart, and he didn't pierce his disguise in front of him.

"No, the old gourd didn't say anything." Liu Ye told the truth, seeing that he was looking around with frightened round eyes, and comforted him kindly, "You go back to the car, they are here, it's okay." ”

"I'm not going back." Tu Qitang didn't think about refusing, his ethereal eyes moved to the sky, and he said in an indifferent tone, "Heh, what can be the matter?" I'm not afraid! ”

Liu Ye saw that he was too scared to go back, and told him to face the dark carriage alone, it was better to be with the big guys.

"I didn't say you were afraid, you said it yourself." Liu Ye looked at his drastically changed facial expression, smiled and teased, "Originally, I heard you say that you were not used to seeing that the people of the Qiuzi royal family believed in ghosts and gods, and I felt uncomfortable listening to them talk about them, I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you to be really uncomfortable." Aren't you usually very bold, I'm afraid you won't blink an eye when you kill a few people with your own hands, and the ghosts can still scare you! ”

Liu Ye said this, just to warm up the atmosphere so that he didn't have to be so nervous. Unexpectedly, Tu Qitang's expression was gloomy, as if she was told the central matter.

"Hey, you're not here for real, Tu Qitang, this doesn't look like your style." Liu Ye was also a little scared in her heart, Tu Qitang's expression was so solemn, which made her even more uneasy, "Don't scare me, you have something to say!" ”

Tu Qitang slowly raised his head, and a wry smile rose on his lips: "You won't understand." ”

After saying this, Tu Qitang walked away, pestle beside the medicine gourd, carefully watching his every move. Liu Ye really has never seen such a Tu Qitang, he can shamelessly peek at a woman taking a bath, or he can walk through Yang with an expressionless face, he doesn't care if others are dead or alive, he is clearly an unfathomable master, he wants to pretend to be a prince, he is clearly a ruthless character with a heart of stone, and in a blink of an eye, he has become a coward who is afraid of demons.

The medicine gourd took out the medicinal wine he carried with him, unscrewed the lid, raised his head and drank a few sips, seeing this, Qingling hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Grandfather, no, you can't do it!" ”

The medicine gourd shook off Qingling, rubbed the wine from the corner of his mouth hard, and stared at the northwest direction with a cold gaze: "Go away, I have to pull out that thing with my own hands to see if it dares to do evil." ”

Hearing what he said, Shizhong hurriedly said, "Have you ever seen that thing?" ”

"Hmph, not only have I seen it, but I have also exchanged it! I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and I thought it was dead a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be harming people everywhere! ”

The crowd heard their hairs stand on end, "that thing" doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost, if they find it, will they be able to escape?

"However, you should not use your luck now, so let it go for the time being!" Shizhong tactfully persuaded.

"No, that thing is too hateful to be left in the world, and since Providence has allowed me to meet it, I can't turn a blind eye." The attitude of the medicine gourd was very resolute, he raised his neck, drank the medicine wine completely, and smashed the bottle to smash it casually, "Even if my old man dies, he will have to pull it to see the king of Hades together." ”

"Grandfather, grandfather, don't go......" Qing Ling was so anxious that tears fell, if it was usual, she didn't dare to stop the medicine gourd from doing what he wanted, but the medicine gourd gave her his true bearing in order to save Feng Yan, I don't know how powerful "that thing" is, in case the medicine gourd is not its opponent, she will regret it too late!

Qing Ling desperately grabbed the arm of the medicine gourd and begged bitterly: "Grandfather, if you don't think about Ling'er, you have to think about yourself!" That thing is so evil, you may not be able to cure it, with you, it will not dare to come, but if you force it to be urgent, I am afraid that all of us will suffer......"

"Nonsense, evil is invincible, it has the ability to rush at me, it has nothing to do with you. My old man is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, how can he be afraid to dodge, could it be that I am still afraid of it! "The medicine gourd is stubborn by nature, and he doesn't listen to persuasion at all, Qing Ling cried a lot, and he didn't waver at all.

"Old gourd!" Liu Ye didn't know when she walked into the crowd, she gently picked up Qing Ling, who was sitting on the ground, and said softly to the medicine gourd, "Qing Ling is right, this matter is not trivial, we have to think about it in the long run." ”

The medicine gourd shook his hand impatiently: "Princess, don't come to mix, my old man has the ability to protect you, even if my true qi is gone, I can still deal with it." Oh, don't be long-winded, it's when they are the strongest, and it's really too late to wait! ”

"Yes, we don't know what 'that thing' is, we don't know how to protect ourselves. But you can't just think about yourself and ignore everyone's safety. Liu Ye said unhurriedly.

Yao Hulu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Why don't I care about you?" I'm not ...... for you yet."

"Will you be able to subdue it? Are you 100% sure? In the face of Liu Ye's questioning, the medicine gourd gradually lost its confidence, and said, "Anyway, I can't let it harm people again, I know how to deal with it, if even I can't do it, who else can?" ”

"You know how to deal with it, but we don't! Old gourd, you are not afraid of death, but can you tell us how to deal with it before you desperately, so that even if you die, we will not be helpless. ”

"Princess!" Shi Zhong felt that Liu Ye's statement was too inappropriate, so he couldn't help but remind.

Liu Ye didn't mean to change his words, the face of the medicine gourd was a little embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me tell you, if I don't come back, you can watch it yourself!" ”

"Well, then you can tell us what the origin of that thing is, and how we can get rid of it."

The medicine gourd looked at the mountain peak and said in a deep voice: "That thing is called 'three-eyed leech', it is not a human or a demon, and it is a monster that lives by sucking blood. Originally, they were all people who practiced demonic skills, but they went mad and became monsters. They drink the blood of women and children, and those who have been bitten have only a dead end. To get rid of them, we must rely on the purest yang energy, and the pure yang blood is poison to them. ”

"Pure Yang's blood ......" Liu Ye somewhat understood, "If you can't win by relying on your true qi, are you going to let it drink your blood?" Old gourd, it's not impossible for you, but how can you guarantee that that thing will drink your blood! ”

"Is there any other way? Do we want to let them do their own thing? The medicine gourd was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"Yes, of course." Liu Ye answered him firmly.
