"Don't be surprised by the virtuous nephew, Nu Xiong is a very principled witch, and he insists that I ask you about this, and he is afraid that you will mind his presence, so he can only hide aside. Mr. Bai explained awkwardly.

"Mr. Bai is a very worthy person, so I don't want him to get involved in anything uncontrollable. Nuxiong said as he walked, his tone not at all like an explanation, but more like a chase.

"What else do you want to ask?" Listening to Nu Xiong's tone, Gongsun Shengyan also hardened, since you Nu Xiong secretly used tricks to lure me to speak first, then don't blame me for being rude.

"I didn't ask anything, I just wanted to take a closer look. Nu Xiong may feel a little embarrassed after speaking, so he changed his tone and joked, "The breath is not small, and the natural temper is not small." Rare and precious, rare and precious. ”

Gongsun Shengyan didn't get up, took off all his shirts directly in front of the dinner table, sat up straight, and said two words: "Look." His face was still cold, and he didn't take the ladder that Nu Xiong handed over just now to ease the conversation.

Nu Xiong turned behind Gongsun Shengyan, and after looking at it for a while, he retreated with an uncomfortable expression and sat opposite Gongsun Shengyan, with beads of sweat dripping down his head.

"Do you still see it?" Seeing Nu Xiong's appearance, Gongsun Shengyan felt a little proud in his heart, and asked him provocatively.

"How did you get this pattern on your back?" Nuxiong asked after a pause.

"I don't know. ”

"I really don't know?"

"I may lie to you, but I won't lie to Mr. Bai. "Gongsun Shengyan really doesn't know, if he says that a dream will grow a pattern on the back shoulder, no one can believe it.

When Mr. Bai heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of imperceptible approval, Nu Xiong's face was a little unbearable, and he held back for a while before continuing: "This pattern behind you is the seed left after being beaten into the remnant soul, the owner of this remnant soul has an extraordinary spiritual sense, it should be a person who is against the sky, at this time, the seed is constantly releasing soul power on your back, but there is always a time when it is released, if it is according to what you just said, then it should be at some point, it will be recuperated by itself." ”

"So there will be those mandrill corpses chasing me, right?" Gongsun Shengyan couldn't help but take it seriously when he saw that what Nu Xiong said was the same as the old way.

"No, although the soul power behind you is majestic, but the remnant soul is exhausted, and it can't be guided, only the seed is breathing on itself, causing the soul power to disperse but not gather, strong but not pure, how to say it, it should be said that now this soul power is like a flood, and I will be safe and sound if I am a little farther away from you, because it can't deliberately target me. This kind of soul power will impact Gu worms, spirit bodies, and practitioners with slightly inferior spiritual sense, not only can they not be used, but they will damage the spirit platform, presumably the person who left the remnant soul seed behind you also expected that you might be in danger of being fleshed by some Dao mermaids, so they deliberately did it. Unless ......"

"Unless the old way deliberately drives it. Gongsun Shengyan listened to Nu Xiong's explanation, instantly understood, and made up the latter sentence by himself.

"Yes. Nu Xiong nodded heavily, "My natal Gu has coexisted with me for more than forty years, even so, if you get too close, it will still be irritable, and even I need to try my best to suppress it to appease." The living mandrill corpses you mentioned should be avoided by you. ”

"Mr. Nuxiong, can you see the trick that old Tao is doing behind my back?" Gongsun Shengyan began to worry.

"I don't know much about spells, besides, there are many cultivators in the world, and there are many variations in spells, so it's somewhat difficult for me to read spells as a big witch. ”

"Oh. Gongsun Shengyan became sad.

"But Su Gongzi, you can rest assured, if that old Taoist wants to harm you, you don't have to make such a big detour. You now look round and smooth, and you don't feel anything foreign on your body except for this pattern. There will be no danger of life for the time being. ”

"For the time being. Gongsun Shengyan emphasized these two words, and suddenly felt that fate had played a big joke on him, and he laughed out loud under mixed tastes.

"Master Su, did you come to Mr. Bai's house because of this matter?"

"No, but for real reasons, I can't tell you, sorry. Gongsun Shengyan stopped laughing, and his face turned cold.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, let's put our hearts down for the time being, come and come, drink tea and drink tea. Mr. Bai saw that Gongsun Shengyan explained the reason, and felt that the atmosphere was awkward, so he began to play a round.

"Young man, for Mr. Bai's sake, I'll say one more thing," Nu Xiong picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, looked at Gongsun Shengyan with a serious expression and said, "You will have a very tortuous road to go, and it is doomed." ”

"Thank you. Gongsun Shengyan replied unsurprised.

According to the map given by Gongsun Shengqiu, Gongsun Shenghua packed up the things to be prepared for going out, and the next day he took the horse and brought a capable subordinate, and went out as soon as the sky was bright. Jiyin Mountain is located in the north, covering an area of about the same size as Luoma Mountain, but it is higher and more dangerous than Luoma Mountain, the mountain is steep in many places, even the monkey can not climb up, so there are large areas of mountains and forests are shrouded in the shade of the mountain, and the sun is not sufficient.

This matter is not difficult to do, the name of the Gongsun family is well known in the entire Jiangnan region, Gongsun Shenghua found the local bureaucracy and said his purpose straight to the point. Jiyin Mountain was originally barren, uncultivated and rarely inhabited, but hunters and medicine farmers often entered the mountain. When the bureaucrat saw Gongsun Shenghua solemnly running in front of him, spreading out the map and saying that he wanted to buy a mountain, he was naturally secretly happy in his heart, this barren mountain and wild ridge that had not been paid attention to for thousands of years was now about to turn into heavy snowflake silver, how could he not be happy, he only needed to draw the title deed and wait for the money to be collected. So Gongsun Shenghua was received with a smile throughout the whole process, and the dinner was treated with good wine and meat, and finally arranged to a good inn, and the other party left after a greeting.

The next day, the official took Gongsun Shenghua and his subordinates to ride a horse to Jiyin Mountain to take a closer look, don't look at Yang Fang just drew a box on the map that was less than the size of a palm, and the three of them walked down, so they really knew what it meant to run a dead horse in Wangshan. The official was so idle that he panicked, and asked Gongsun Shenghua what the use of this mountain was bought. Gongsun Shenghua was asked, it is said that if it is to be used to grow tea, there are hills that are better than this Jiyin Mountain, easy to pick and full of sunshine, why bother to run into this lofty mountain. He casually found a reason to prevaricate the official errand, and filled his stomach full of questions.

The three of them walked in the forest for about an hour, and they were completely out of the road, with leaves covering the sky and the sun overhead, and in front of them were all kinds of shrubs and wild grasses, as well as vines and plants that were densely intertwined like nets. The official took out the map again, pointed to it and told Gongsun Shenghua the current location, Gongsun Shenghua looked down and saw that there was still a small and half distance from the center of the box, and he couldn't help but be discouraged, and dispelled the idea of going inside, seeing that there was no one living in it, so he simply went home. The three of them tossed again, and after going back, Gongsun Shenghua received the price quoted by the other party, and he was worried about the birds at home, so he rushed home non-stop.

At noon, it had just finished a pouring rain, and when it was dark and the road was slippery, Gongsun Shenghua's master and servant entered a small forest and carefully slowed down. At this time, he began to regret a little in his heart, he should have rested in the inn before going out, at this rate, it seems that he will not be able to return home until Yin. And although this forest is not big, but in the dark night you can't see your fingers, the more you go, the more drumming your heart becomes. Although Gongsun Shenghua has also been in contact with family affairs for many years, he is always half-hearted, and his energy is focused on women and raising birds. Seeing that most of the woods were over, suddenly there was a gurgling sound in his ears, like laughing and crying, and he heard that the hair of their master and servant was upside down, and Gongsun Shenghua couldn't hold it, and he slammed the horsewhip with a strange scream, wanting to rush out quickly. The gurgling sound became more and more frequent, mixed with what seemed to be a woman's crying, and a white shadow flashed quickly in front of Gongsun Shenghua's eyes, and then the soles of the horse's feet under Gongsun Shenghua's crotch slipped, and both people and horses rolled diagonally on the road.

"Young Master Gongsun......" The subordinates behind him exclaimed, and then they also fell down with the horses, but fortunately, the horses recognized the master, and after getting up with a loud nose, they did not go far, but stood on the side.

"Giggle cluck......" The strange sound came from the top of his head again, Gongsun Shenghua was already so frightened that he was about to fart, and his whole body trembled and looked up, and the white shadow that had just floated over fell from the sky, clearly a plain white body, with a cloak and a three-foot-long tongue.

"Young Master Gongsun, I'm ...... I'm afraid!" the subordinate began to shout like a frightened child.

"Giggles...... "Bai Wuchang held a mourning stick in his hand, and floated towards Gongsun Shenghua without touching his feet.

"Mom!" Gongsun Shenghua felt that his brain was hit by something, and he fainted with a shout.

Where is the subordinate on the side still in the mood to care about the life and death of Gongsun Shenghua, he doesn't dare to continue to look at the impermanence in front of him, and he is afraid that if he doesn't star, he will be taken for his life if he doesn't pay attention, so he can only open his mouth and scream, and retreat backwards on his back in the mud like a worm with his eyes closed. After not taking three or four steps back, a short, thin shadow came out behind him, raised the stick in his hand and struck the back of the subordinate's head, and the subordinate fell to the ground as softly as a boiled noodle.

As the two of them fainted, the impermanence of the ghost shouting and jumping before also stopped moving, and the shadow behind the next person bent down and took it out in the arms of the master and servant, Gongsun Shenghua came out with a lot of silver taels this time, and the figure in the dark checked Gongsun Shenghua's money bag with his hand, and seemed to be very satisfied.

"Sixth brother, how is it?" a hoarse female voice came from the forest beside the road.

"Not good, you go and collect the stumbling horse in the back. The short and thin shadow replied, and the voice was actually Xu Laoliu, who escaped from the city that day.

"I heard one person shouting what the other person called Childe, it shouldn't be too bad. The woman came out of her hiding place and asked unwillingly.

"Money money money, money is money all day long, Lao Tzu touches you twice and you are like being stung by a wasp. Xu Lao Liu's evil fire suddenly came up.

When the woman heard Xu Lao Liu say this, she threw down the half-collected stumbling rope and kicked him hard in the back.

"So much silver!" the woman's voice became as sharp as before.

"You damn it, dare to kick Lao Tzu. Xu Lao Liu fumbled with the scattered silver taels on the ground while cursing the woman.

The woman took out a dagger from behind her, grabbed Gongsun Shenghua's collar and was about to pierce her neck.

"What are you doing!" Xu Lao Liu hurriedly rushed over and grabbed her hand and asked sharply.

"If you lose so much silver, you will definitely report to the official and kill these two fat pigs first, so as not to leave trouble. ”

"This person can't be killed. Xu Lao Liu said loudly.

"Why?"

"If you can't kill, you can't kill. Xu Laoliu snatched the dagger over, groped in Gongsun Shenghua's arms for a while, and actually found the map of Jiyin Mountain and the official family's reply letter to Gongsun Shenghua, and he couldn't see it clearly in the dark, so he simply put it in his bag.

"Go, or they'll wake up in a moment." Xu Laoliu handed the silver two to the woman, quickly cleaned up the scene, pulled her sleeve and disappeared into the night.
