These little spirits didn't look very old, they trembled and shrank together when they saw Xie Qian, and their light dimmed a lot. The power of these little spirits is not enough to break through the barrier of Qingqiu Mountain and transmit secret words.

Xie Qian narrowed his eyes, and after scanning the circle of the little spirit, he asked, "Who did you arrest here?" ”

The spirits moved a few times in the direction of the corner, but none of them answered. Looks like I'm scared.

Xie Qian began to worry, thinking that he should convince these spirits that he would not harm them. Thinking of this, she clumsily conjured a rattle with a talisman, shook it twice in her hand and said gently: "Don't be afraid, my sister won't hurt you." ”

The little spirits were children in the end, and their eyes sparkled when they saw the rattles all coming around.

When she got close to them, Xie Qian really saw them clearly, the oldest was about eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

"How long have you been here?" Xie Qian asked casually.

The eldest child immediately said, "Tonight." ”

Was it just now?

Xie Qian simply sat down, spinning the rattle and motioning for them to sit next to him. The children were sure that Xie Qian would not hurt themselves, and sat around her, their eyes still taking their eyes off the rattle.

She conjured several rattles with the talisman and gave them to the children. They played with joy, completely forgetting their fears.

Xie Qian breathed a long sigh of relief and asked the eldest spirit, "Why didn't you go to reincarnation?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the children looked at her with frightened eyes. The eldest spirit was full of vigilance, and said, "We haven't died yet, why should we be reincarnated?" ”

"Your spirits have left your bodies, and you are not dead?" Xie Qian was surprised.

The spirits nodded their heads, and then the eldest child told the story as it was.

These little spirits are all children from nearby villages, the eldest is called Ono, the eldest brother of this group of children, and he will take them to fish or play on weekdays.

There is a very long river outside the city of Qizhou, the river is turbulent, but there are many fish in it. They often catch fish in the water and sometimes swim in competitions.

It was a normal life, but it was broken five days ago.

That day, when they were playing in the river, they saw a lot of beads in the lake. Curious, they picked it up and found that the bead was transparent, with a red liquid flowing in the center, which was not only rare but also beautiful.

A few children thought they had picked up a treasure, and each took one home.

It was also at this time that strange things began.

That night, Ono had a nightmare. In the dream, there was a man sitting by the window crying with his back to him, and when he approached curiously, the man suddenly turned his face, and it turned out to be a fox face!

The fox-faced man sneered twice and said, "Why are you locking me here? With that, he threw himself at him.

When Ono woke up, there was the bead next to his pillow.

Fearing that some monster was living in it, he threw the beads out of the window and went back to sleep. But when he woke up the next morning, the bead was still next to his pillow.

Ono was scared and worried, and called a few friends who had come home with beads to get together and ask about the situation. It turns out that these people all had such dreams after returning home.

They all thought they were definitely monsters, so they all took the beads and threw them back into the river.

But they still had nightmares that night, and when they woke up again, the beads were still next to their pillows, as if they were wrapped around them, and they couldn't throw them away!

They didn't dare to delay much, so they could only secretly go to the Taoist temple to find a Taoist priest to see if there was a solution.

And when the Taoist priest saw those beads, his face changed drastically and he drove them out, and said that he would never be able to deal with these treacherous things.

They didn't know what to do, so they got together during the day today to discuss how to solve the problem. Halfway through the discussion, a gust of wind blew, and they all lost their instincts.

When I woke up again, I had already become like this, appearing in the inn.

At this point, several children hung their heads and wiped tears from their eyes in frustration. Ono also choked up and said, "It's all those beads, and we will never pick things up and go home in the future." ”

"What about the beads?" Xie Qian asked.

The children looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

It turned out that the matter of the blood beads had not been resolved, and it was still involving these mortals to come in.

Xie Qian gritted his teeth and decided to take the child out of the inn first, and then find Mu Chengye to find a way.

As soon as she stood up, the children were screaming and coming together, looking terrified. She wondered how terrible she was to make these children scare like this, but she felt a gust of wind blowing behind her.

Xie Qian secretly screamed in his heart, and subconsciously pulled out the spirit hairpin and blocked it in front of him.

There was a loud "bang", and what impact turned into green smoke on the hairpin and dissipated. And in the midst of the smoke, a black fox mask came into view!

Xie Qian's eyes narrowed, looking at the black fox squatting on the windowsill, his face turned pale.

"I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Xie Qian." The black fox sneered.

Xie Qian pinched the hairpin tightly, and said word by word: "Third son, aren't you locked up, how can you escape?" ”

"It's just that you're stupid." The black fox said this, his eyes full of disdain. He suddenly turned, his cloak in front of him, fending off the cold light that was attacking from behind.

He turned his head to look downstairs, just in time to meet Mu Chengye's surprised eyes. A sneer curled into the corner of his mouth, and then he jumped down from the window, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Mu Chengye strode upstairs a few times, realistically glanced around the house, and finally fixed his gaze on Xie Qian. After making sure that she was not injured, he stepped over with a straight face and said, "Is that person a black fox?" ”

"That's right." Xie Qian calmed himself down, "Are the third sons sure that they are locked up?" ”

Mu Chengye nodded.

Today, when he and Mu Hongjia presented the evidence in front of the fox king and told their speculation, the fox king was furious and locked Mu Yuhua in a small room next to the main hall. In order to prevent him from escaping, several talismans were also attached to the gate.

The power of the talisman is very strong, and it cannot be broken unless the five sons join forces.

And now that he saw the black fox reappear, he couldn't help but wonder if he had caught the wrong person.

The two of them were silent for a while, and then Xie Qian seemed to think of something, squinted his eyes and said, "Are you sure that the third prince is still locked up?" ”

"You mean, he ran away?" Mu Chengye guessed her thoughts, and immediately denied it, "It's impossible, because the talisman can't be opened from the inside." ”

Xie Qian said firmly: "We must go and see." ”
