"Listen to me." I couldn't help but feel empty, and hurriedly said: "This lip print is not just a lip print, but a mark, which was accidentally put on at the beginning. ”

"Sigils?" Miao Miao's face was full of suspicion.

"Really, if you don't believe it, you can try, you can't wipe it off." I hurriedly showed Miao Miao and touched it with my hand.

Miao Miao stretched out her hand, touched it in disbelief, looked at her belly, seemed to think of something, and exclaimed, "Have you been to Rouge Lake?" ”

"You know that place?" I was amazed that the place where I first met Bai Xiangyue was Rouge Lake in Chongqing, and this lip print was also left to me by her.

The fat man said that with this mark, even if I run to the ends of the earth, Bai Xiangyue can find me.

Miao Miao's face became solemn, and she hurriedly said: "During the time I was locked up in solitary confinement, I only knew a rough idea of what happened outside, and you told me what happened as it was." ”

I nodded and said yes, and then I picked out the experience of knowing Bai Xiangyue and all the things related to her in detail.

After Miao Miao digested it for a while, I asked, "Is she human?" ”

"You say she's afraid of thunder?" Miao Miao asked.

"Yes." I nodded, before in Yichang I and the fat man faced the old woman and almost suffered a big loss, it was Bai Xiangyue who rescued us, that night thundered, Bai Xiangyue shrank in my arms and trembled.

From this point of view, she should not be a human being, and it is impossible for such a strong person to be afraid of thunder.

"She's not a human, she's a demon!" Miao Miao Road.

"Demon?"

I raised my eyebrows, among the demons and monsters, I have seen the latter three, but the demon has never seen it, and it should not be counted. At least you have to take on a human form, right?

Demons and ghosts, in addition to demons, are all classified as ghosts and ghosts, and if you add demons, you can also be regarded as a yin thing. But only the demon is different, the demon is essentially a primate, a "person" who cultivates into a human being, such as the legendary fox and weasel cultivating into a human body, they belong to the demon.

"Demons are dying out in this world."

Miao Miao pondered for a moment and slowly explained: "The process of demon cultivation is very difficult, even in ancient times, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, and now humanity is flourishing, and the soil for demon survival has been compressed step by step, almost reaching a limit, and I haven't heard of the trace of the demon for many years; Only some of the inaccessible mountains and forests, or the deepest parts of the sea and desert, may remain. ”

I nodded slowly, in principle, ghosts and ghosts are all yin things, and there are many dead people, or they can be produced in obscure places, but demons take a long time, and they need more chance, and the difficulty of forming them is much higher than that of ghosts and ghosts.

To use an apt analogy, the demon is a mammoth, and the ghost is an ant and a cockroach; The rarity between the two is not at all on the same level.

"And what kind of monster does she belong to?" I hurriedly asked, and my heart said that Bai Xiangyue appeared in Rouge Lake, could it be something in the lake that became a sperm?

But then I thought about it, it didn't seem to be so simple, because Bai Xiangyue obviously had something to do with the Ghost King Palace, and the time to trace the origin was too long; Her presence in Rouge Lake doesn't mean much at all.

Miao Miao shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet, according to what you said, there should be an unknown space in Rouge Lake, you have been allowed to enter it, if you want to find out what she is, a trip to Rouge Lake may be rewarding." ”

I nodded, the first time I saw Bai Xiangyue, there was a small building by the lake, but the strange thing is that every time the small building disappears without a trace during the day, of course, it may not appear at night, sometimes there is, sometimes not.

"But Ah Chun, I don't recommend you to get to the bottom of it." Miao Miao said to me solemnly.

"For ...... Why? "I was strange for a while, I was a little taboo before, although I stayed in Chongqing, I never went back to Rouge Lake, and now Miao Miao reminded me that I was suddenly moved, but I was told that it was not recommended to go.

"You remember one thing, the vast majority of demons are very powerful, if she wants to harm you, there will be no more than ten fingers of people who can save you in this world, from the current point of view, she doesn't seem to be hostile to you, so you'd better not go to the bottom of it, because it doesn't do you any good, but it is easy to anger her." Miao Miao said very seriously.

I listened to the whole body cold, Brother Gua also once told me this, that time was in Wenfoshan, he said that if Bai Xiangyue wants to harm me, the number of people who can save me in this world is no more than ten fingers.

I nodded heavily and made a note of it.

There are too many mysteries in Bai Xiangyue, and one of the most important mysteries is why did she help me repeatedly? And the timing of the first time I met her was also very strange, it was the night I left Hongcun and arrived in Chongqing, the first day.

I even had a feeling that she was waiting for me at Rouge Lake at that time. In other words, she knew I would arrive in Chongqing that night?

If that's the case, things are even more bizarre and ghostly, and Bai Xiangyue seems to be familiar with me since we met.

Thinking of Bai Xiangyue, I thought of another white-faced young man who had a vague connection with her, and Bai Xiangyue had appeared several times where the white-faced youth appeared, although there was no direct evidence that there was a connection between them.

The white-faced youth is even more weird, he first appeared in Qinglong Town, and the old paper man ghost often goes to his white shop to buy yin paper. The last time he appeared was in Linshui Town, and he sent me and the fat man into the Great Demon City using the method of moving mountains with five ghosts.

"Remember that white-faced youth?" I hurriedly asked, "It's the one who used to open a white shop in Qinglong Town." ”

"What's wrong with him?" Miao Miao said strangely.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and picked up the things about the white-faced young man, Miao Miao's face changed, and said, "Originally, I wasn't very sure, but now, he should be a ghost slave." ”

"Ghost slave?! Is he a ghost? "I felt a chill in my heart, but soon I denied this answer, when I was in Qinglong Town, I saw him appear during the day, and he was not afraid of the sun, ghosts can't do this." Ghost slaves don't have to be ghosts. Miao Miao explained: "People and ghosts can be slaves to each other, people can be slaves of ghosts, ghosts can be slaves of people, and even ghosts can be slaves of another ghost, except for people and people." ”

Suddenly, I said, "You mean, he became a slave of the ghost?" ”

"It should be."

Miao Miao nodded and said slowly: "I noticed him when I first went to Qinglong Town, he was surrounded by ghosts, and at first glance I knew that I often dealt with ghosts, and later found out that he was doing business with paper ghosts, so I went to see him alone once to find out his details; As a result, before I could speak, he said that he was only stationed in Qinglong Town to inquire about the news, and had no intention of interfering and interfering in anything in Qinglong Town. ”

"Then who will he be stationed in Qinglong Town? What is the purpose? Could it be the mysterious Ghost King Palace? I hurriedly asked.

"At the moment, there aren't too many clues, and there is a possibility."

Miao Miao nodded, and looked at me very seriously after speaking: "Ah Chun, you have to remember one thing, the matter of Hongcun is not over yet, it has just been transferred, when the family sent me to Hongcun, everything was originally carried out by me independently, but it turned out that Hongcun, which was just an ordinary small mountain village on the surface, had an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, and the truth of some things was shocking, and it was precisely because of this that Aunt Hong went over to help me." ”

My heart was beating when I heard it, I actually felt this a long time ago, but after Miao Miao's confirmation, I still felt a chill down my spine.

I was in the center of the whirlpool, and I actually survived in the end, the biggest reason was that Miao Miao opened the umbrella for me, but I must admit that there was also some luck, after all, some things have exceeded the control of Miao Miao and Aunt Hong. The Hongcun incident is mixed with too many inexplicable factors, and the Naked Mansion and the Ghost King Palace are enough to make people shocked.

For example, the underworld is involved, on the surface, only the old and small paper ghosts, Ji Ye, Niu Tou and Niu are in charge.

But the little paper ghost was overtaken but started to be an impermanent ghost in the underworld, and it drank Meng Po soup but still remembered me, which is absolutely unusual, and the extent of the underworld's participation in the Hongcun incident seems to be far deeper than I imagined.

There is also the Night Wanderer God that I encountered later, which vaguely seemed to be involved in the events in Hongcun, but it never appeared, or no one discovered its existence.

As for the Ghost King Palace, it is even more obvious, the underground palace under Hongcun is completely a product of the ancient Shu civilization, and so is the Great Demon City, and even there are ghost kings and ghost rays in Hongcun, which are from the same ancient Shu civilization as the Great Demon City.

Even the demon king Zhang Xianzhong once worshipped ghosts as teachers, and the ghost he worshipped was the ghost king of the Ghost King Palace.

Because I can't think of anyone other than the Ghost King who is qualified to be Zhang Xianzhong's master?! Or, in other words, apart from the ghost king, who can train such a powerful demon king?

The factors in this are intertwined in everything, and it is a mess.

But I can vaguely feel that this is a chess game that spans an unknown number of years, and Hongcun may be just a small corner of this chess game map.

It's like a corner of the cross on the board of Go.

"Ah Chun, this time I was released from solitary confinement by the Council of Elders, and I want to start investigating someone again." Miao Miao Road.

"Who?" I asked, instinctively thinking of the white-faced youth.

Miao Miao pondered for a moment and said, "The ancestor of the Hong family." ”

"Him?"

I was surprised and said, "The ancestor of the Hong family has been completely annihilated, how can I investigate?" ”

At the beginning, I used the dragon tooth arrow to destroy the old woman of the Hong family who was in a stalemate with the remnant soul of the demon king, but they have completely disappeared and will never reappear.

Miao Miao groaned: "It's a little difficult, but it's not completely impossible, those ancient families, especially those that have been handed down since the end of the Ming Dynasty, must have the information of the ancestors of the Hong family." At that time, the demon king tried to unify the East Tuqi Gate, during which it was bloody and bloody, and I don't know how many families were broken and destroyed in that turmoil; The ancestor of the Hong family, as the right and left hand of the demon king, is a big man in the key records. ”
