Because the beginning of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the body of the yin, as soon as the qi of the yang invades the body, it will have to fight against the qi of the yin, so it falls at the end and leaves the three zhang away.

Wentian Valley has been affected by the extreme yin air for many years, almost no grass grows, only a kind of dwarf shrub with a color of blue and gray is sparse and barely grows, and at the beginning of tomorrow while picking the small red fruits hanging from this unknown dwarf tree.

The crowd walked farther and deeper along the messy and scattered gravel on the ground, and when they came to a roadless cliff, the surroundings were already the color of green and dark, and the light was dim, which looked very strange.

Everyone stopped, Linglong looked under the cliff, stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't see anything in the black goo down there, shouldn't we jump down?"

Red Lotus said: "This is a prohibition, it was issued by Elder Konoha, the forbidden master of the Kongtong Sect back then, in fact, there is no cliff abyss in front of it, everything is an illusion, just to prevent someone from entering by mistake." ”

"Really?" Linglong didn't believe it.

Red Lotus took out a jade seal spirit talisman from her sleeve that she had given her when she was about to leave, and threw it into the abyss.

The rune changes from one to two, two to four, and four to eight······ In the blink of an eye, sixty-four spirit runes were spread out on the "abyss", and the red lotus took the lead in stepping up, stepping on the spirit runes and walking down.

Sui Feng and Xuan Ying followed closely.

Linglong was speechless: "Is this okay?"

The moonlit night pushed her: "Let's go, don't be verbose." ”

A group of six people followed the path paved by the spirit talisman and walked down for more than ten zhang, and it has been implemented.

It was dim and ghostly, and all the stone walls were dark, with interlaced canine teeth and sharp edges and corners.

Honglian put away the spirit talisman and said to Xuan Ying and the others: "The real person once said that when you get here, it is a ghost town, and everything must be extremely careful. ”

Xuan Ying asked, "Master, has the corpse soul of the ghost city not been refined after so many years?"

Red Lotus said: "Corpse souls all have immortal bodies, how easy is it to let them refine on their own? ”

Sui Feng suddenly said: "Teacher, since the Great Dao Patriarch has placed the Qilin Talisman in the ghost town, then it means that he himself or has already sent someone here, and the corpse souls can let him do this, will he have joined forces with him?"

Honglian muttered: "This, I don't think it's possible, the corpse soul is extremely ferocious, and if you don't listen to anyone, the Great Dao Patriarch won't be stupid enough to release them out of the ghost city for drive, that would be tantamount to sleeping with a tiger." ”

Sui Feng said again: "But even if the Great Dao Patriarch will not let the corpse soul out of the valley, he must have an agreement with him, otherwise how can the corpse soul protect the Qilin talisman for him?"

Honglian nodded and said: "What you said also makes sense, no matter what, since we are here, let's do our best, just keep in mind that corpse souls cannot be killed, although they all have Achilles' heels that can be destroyed, but they will soon be reborn, and rebirth is unlimited, in case of conflict and discovering their weaknesses, try to only attack them a little, so that they have no time to use evil magic." ”

Linglong hurriedly said: "Where is their Achilles' heel?"

Red Lotus sighed: "This is the most troublesome, it is said that the fatal point of each corpse soul is different, and it is difficult to control it with one blow. ”

Linglong suddenly had a whim and asked, "Then can Brother Xuanying's dragon fire refine the corpse soul?"

Honglian smiled: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

Xuan Ying said: "Otherwise, when I see the corpse soul, I will try it, maybe there will be an effect, but I don't know." ”

Honglian nodded: "Okay, but try to avoid it if there is no conflict." ”

She swept everyone with her eyes, and suddenly found that Ming Yue, who had been alone, disappeared at some point.

No one found out when she had disappeared, and everyone was shocked.

Honglian said nervously, "Where did she go?"

Yueye was more anxious than everyone else, and said after a pause: "He and Xuanying's nephew's breath are yin and yang, so he has been lagging behind, and Fang Cai is still coming over, why is it that he disappeared after a few words?"

"Oops!" Linglong cried out, "Could it be captured by the corpse?"

Sui Feng shook his head and said, "Probably not, if the corpse soul appears, how can it be possible to catch her alone?"

The moonlit night was at a loss, and said, "Alas, how is this good? In case something happens at the beginning of January, I ······."

Linglong also said: "Yes, yes, how do you explain to Uncle Yuanhu?"

Red Lotus Qi said: "What does it have to do with Senior Brother Yuanhu?"

Linglong said: "When Uncle Yuanhu was leaving, he told my little aunt to let her take care of the beginning of tomorrow." ”

Honglian's brows furrowed again, she didn't want to care about the relationship between Yuanhu and Mingyue, but right now, as soon as she entered the valley, a person disappeared for no reason, and his life and death were unknown, was it really a bad omen?

Xuan Ying said: "Master, let's look for it first, maybe she was attracted by something before she escaped." ”

Honglian had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's look for it separately, I and Suifeng to the left, and Linglong and Xuanying to the right on a moonlit night, whether we find it or not, we must return here within half an hour." ”

The moonlit night was anxious, and the same Xuanying Linglong hurriedly ran to the right to search.

The terrain here is extremely complex, full of craggy and strange stones, stalagmites and stone pillars are everywhere, it is difficult for people to be found if they are hidden in the middle, and the stones are the same color, it is easy to get lost.

The moonlit night was chaotic and delicate, only Xuan Ying's heart was careful, and he used the magic knife to make obvious marks everywhere he passed, so that it was easy to identify the path when he came back.

There was almost no comparison along the way, and I walked around for a while, and I didn't see the shadow of the beginning of tomorrow at all.

"At the beginning of tomorrow!" Linglong just shouted loudly, but was stopped by Xuan Ying.

"You shouted loudly, what if you brought in the corpse?"

"Oh oh oh!"

Linglong grinned and said, "I know, just be quiet." ”

So she and the two of them called for the beginning of tomorrow in a low voice.

"Moon!"

Turning a stalagmite, as soon as the call of the moonlit night fell, I heard the voice of a woman calling for "the beginning of the month" not far away.

Linglong was busy watching left and right, the moonlit night was beside her, where was the call of another woman?

Xuan Ying had been holding the magic knife in his hand and carefully observing the surrounding situation, he pointed forward and said, "The voice just now came from behind that big stone pillar. ”

Linglong said: "Could it be my aunt?"

Yueye said: "No, if it was the senior sister, she would have come over a long time ago, could it be the beginning of the month?"

Linglong smiled: "No, how can anyone call their own name?"

The moonlit night was full of suspicion, and tried to call again: "At the beginning of the month, is it you?"

This time there was silence, and no one answered.

Yueye said: "Go over and take a look." ”

Xuan Ying hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi be careful, don't be a corpse soul." After speaking, he rushed to the front of the moonlit night and explored the way.

Bypass the stone pillar, you will find that the opposite side is a wall of more than ten zhang high Xuanxi stone rock, there is a black and swarthy hole under the stone rock, it turns out that it is just after the moonlit night called, the sound touched the echo of the stone pillar rebounding into the cave.

Linglong said deflated: "It turned out to be a false alarm. ”

Yueye said: "I see that the cave can allow people to pass through, and it is deep and there is no head and tail, could it be that I entered here at the beginning of the month?"

Xuan Ying estimated the time, half an hour was about to expire, so he said to Yue Ye: "Uncle Shi, the time has come, let's go back, so as not to worry about the master." ”

Yueye hesitated: "But if the beginning of January is really here, wouldn't it be in vain to miss it if you left like this?"

Xuanying thought about it for a while, and said: "Otherwise, you wait here, I will go back to see the master alone, and ask the master to come over to make a decision, if the master finds the beginning of tomorrow, I will come back to pick you up." ”

Moonlit Night nodded in agreement.

Xuan Ying ran out a few steps and then turned back and said, "Uncle Shi, you must take care of this troublemaker, don't let her run around." ”

"Troublemaker?"

Linglong heard that Xuanying was talking about her, and angrily picked up a stone and hit it.

Xuan Ying followed the marks left by herself along the way and returned to the place of departure, and saw that Red Lotus and Suifeng were waiting anxiously there, and they didn't find the beginning of tomorrow when they saw the situation.

Seeing that only Xuan Ying was in a hurry, Honglian's face turned pale after a sigh in her heart, thinking that Yue Ye and Linglong had an accident, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xuan Ying's arm: "What about the two of them?"

Xuan Ying hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, Uncle Shi and Linglong are fine." ”

Honglian breathed a sigh of relief, her hanging heart fell slightly, and said, "Where are they now?"

Xuan Ying said: "We just found a cave, Uncle Shi wants to go in to find it, the disciples are afraid of accidents, and the appointment time has been made, so I persuaded them to wait at the entrance of the cave, and I came to ask the master to go and cut it." ”

Honglian hurriedly said: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The three of them followed the mark to the entrance of the cave again, but unexpectedly, there was no trace of the moonlit night and Linglong.

Xuan Ying was taken aback, looked left and right, and made sure that he was not taking the wrong path.

Red Lotus and Suifeng also panicked, and Red Lotus said to Xuan Ying, "Are you sure it's here?"

Xuan Ying slapped his palm on the stone pillar and said regretfully: "It must be that there is no mistake here, it must be the uncle who was instigated by Linglong, and the two of them went in." ”

At this time, Suifeng pointed to the hole and said, "Teacher, please look, there are traces left by them." ”

The red lotus pointed and looked, and sure enough, the marks on the ground that had been scratched by the sharp weapon led to the depths of the cave.

Xuan Ying calculated the time, and after only a cup of tea, he said to Honglian: "The disciples chased them back." After saying that, he went sideways into the hole.

Red Lotus couldn't stop it.

Sui Feng hurriedly said: "Teacher, let's not go separately anymore, let's go in together." ”

Honglian also had this intention, and the two followed Xuan Ying into the cave.

There is no light in the cave, the red lotus conjures up a golden lotus to illuminate the way, because the surrounding stone walls are dark colored stones, the faint light emitted by the golden lotus is not reflected but absorbed, so the light of the golden lotus can not shine seven feet away at all.

Red Lotus told the Xuan Ying in front of her to be more careful.

Xuan Ying was worried about the two of them in his heart, and the magic knife in his hand used the lotus flower to reflect the light, but the road went farther and faster.

This cave is not straight, twisting and turning like a sheep's intestines, but after walking to the end, it becomes a little more open, and the layout of the cave gradually becomes more complicated, like entering a bee's hive, all kinds of large and small holes are dense.

Xuanying never saw the two of them, and her heart became more and more anxious, and she hurried forward desperately.

Sui Feng felt that the situation was not quite right, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward to stop him.

Xuan Ying thought that there were traces of the two of them, and hurriedly asked, "Did you see them?"

Sui Feng said: "No, but I find the situation here too weird to rush forward." ”

Red Lotus had always known that Sui Feng was thoughtful, and asked, "Did you find something?"

Suifeng pointed to those large and small holes and said, "Teacher, please see what's strange about these holes?"

Honglian took two steps forward, and saw that the four walls of those caves were as smooth as mirrors, and it seemed that there were often things coming in and out of them, and she was surprised: "Could it be that this is the nest of snakes and insects?"

Sui Feng shook his head and said, "In the ghost city, apart from corpse souls, how can there be other living beings?"

Honglian gasped when she heard this, and said movingly: "Could it be that it is the residence of the corpse soul?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
