When Xiang Chen and the others rested, it was almost dark.

Xiang Yifei said, "Let's leave the forest quickly and find an inn to rest."

Ye Xuan yawned in agreement, she hadn't woken up yet.

Xiang Chen also nodded, brought the white-scaled horse over, and asked, "What about just three horses?"

Zhang Zijiang said, "I'll hold her", Xiang Yifei hurriedly said, "I'll hold her", Zhang Zijiang nodded in agreement.

Ye Xuan hadn't woken up yet, it didn't matter who held him, he climbed on the horse and fell asleep again.

Xiang Chen laughed when he saw it, he was really a little sleeping worm.

"I'm not a worm," Ye Xuan muttered quietly, and several people laughed.

Coming out of the forest, there were no villages around, Xiang Yifei looked at the map, and said with a bitter face that the nearest village was forty miles away.

Xiang Chen shook his shoulder, "Then hurry up." "

As a heterogeneous horse, the white-scaled horse walks like a fly, and there is naturally no problem for forty miles.

The road was too dark, and there was a lot of delay, and when we arrived at the village, it was already late at night.

There is a willow tree planted in front of the village, there is not a single leaf on the old tree, and the red cloth strips are hung on the branches, fluttering in the wind, which looks unusually demonic, and makes people's scalp numb.

Next to the tree, a stone monument was erected, on which were written Anming Village, four words.

After a bumpy ride, Ye Xuan also woke up.

Ye Xuan said worriedly, "Are we really going to spend the night here?"

Xiang Chen replied, "It's all here, do you think there is still a choice?"

"What are these on the tree?", Ye Xuan said, pointing to the willow tree.

"I guess some naughty kid got it. Xiang Yifei looked at it.

"Ah~" Ye Xuan suddenly pointed at the willow tree and screamed, and several people looked in the direction Ye Xuan pointed to, and saw an old man sitting under the tree, motionless, as if dead.

Xiang Chen said, "You haven't slept so late," "Let's go, let's take a look"

"Ahh Ye Xuan didn't want to go.

"Then you are waiting here", as he spoke, Xiang Chen and the three of them walked slowly.

Ye Xuan stayed where he was, looked around, and said in horror, "Hey, you wait for me", and hurriedly caught up with Xiang Chen and the others.

"Hello old man, is there an inn in this question?"

The old man looked at Xiang Chen and the others with empty eyes, then slowly stood up and walked towards the village.

Xiang Chen and the others nodded at each other, and hurriedly followed.

The old man stopped when he reached an inn, pointed with his finger, and walked out into the darkness.

The plaque above the inn reads "Kishimei Inn", and the four words seem to be shining with blood in the dark.

Ye Xuan said worriedly, "I always feel that something is wrong, why don't we go." "

Xiang Chen looked around and said, "It's okay, let's go in and have a look." "

In the inn, a guy was lying on the table, and the other was making calculations and recording the ledger.

"Is there still a guest room?" asked Xiang Chen to the bookkeeper.

The man nodded and pointed behind Xiang Chen.

The person who slept just now was already standing on the edge of the stairs, guiding Xiang Chen and the others upstairs.

Everything seemed weird, but it seemed calm.

Xiang Chen asked for four rooms and paid a deposit.

After Xiang Chen entered the customer service, he looked around, there was nothing unusual, but he felt that the people he met were really lacking in energy.

Xiang Chen cleaned up, blew out the lamp and went to sleep.

"Ah~Help~", in the middle of the night, Ye Xuan's shout suddenly remembered, and Xiang Chen hurriedly got up.

Pushing the door, I just happened to run into Xiang Yifei and Zhang Zijiang, who were about to rush.

Pushing open the door, Xiang Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

"He, it's him, that old man, he suddenly appeared in my room", Ye Xuan said in horror.

Xiang Yifei yawned and said, "You have a nightmare." "

Ye Xuan was about to cry, and said anxiously, "I don't want to sleep by myself, you accompany me." "

Xiang Chen agreed, "Okay, we're here with you."

Xiang Yifei was about to object, but Xiang Chen said, "I feel that something is wrong here, people here lack spirit. "

Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, "I know, I know, they are all corpse puppets"

"Corpse puppet, what is a corpse puppet?", Xiang Chen was a little puzzled.

"The corpse leader is the one who is removed or taken away from consciousness, and then refined into a puppet, which is a corpse puppet. Ye Xuan explained.

"Are you saying these people are dead?" Xiang Yifei was surprised.

"Not necessarily, it could be that consciousness has been saved. Ye Xuan thought for a while and said.

"So what do we do?"

"We find out who did it, and then kill him, and we can release these consciousnesses," Ye Xuan said.

"You're not scared now?" Xiang Chen said with a smile.

Ye Xuan straightened her nose and said, "It's not a ghost, what are you afraid of?"

Xiang Yifei thought for a while and asked, "Then who is the ghost behind the scenes?"

"It's that old man," Xiang Chen said suddenly.

"Why?"

"Because I felt his conscious presence, but that consciousness felt strange. Xiang Chen thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then we'll go find him. Zhang Zijiang said.

"Where are we looking?" Xiang Yifei asked.

"Willow!" Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise and left, and Xiang Chen and the others hurriedly followed.

Under the willow tree, an old man sits, very idle, but the red cloth strip behind him is extremely weird.

"Say, did you refine them into corpse puppets, where did you get their consciousness?" Ye Xuan shouted.

The old man stood up and said, "The little girl knows a lot, even the corpse puppet knows. A voice came from the old man's mouth, and the sound was terrifying.

As he spoke, the old man raised his hands high, the willow branches swayed, and the strips of red cloth glowed scarlet.

A low roar came from the village.

"He's controlling the corpse puppet, and his consciousness is sealed in a strip of red cloth, so get rid of him. Ye Xuan shouted, and as he spoke, he took the lead.

The petals appear out of thin air, scratch towards the old man, bloom, then wither, and drift away with the wind, which is particularly beautiful.

Xiang Chen and the others were shocked, this move seemed to be fragile, but it was extremely powerful, similar to Xiang Chen's ice and snow pear blossom. Moreover, Ye Xuan's cultivation is obviously around the fifth turn Xuanshi, and he has such cultivation at the age of thirteen, which has to be amazing.

Now I can't allow Xiang Chen and the others to think too much, the corpse puppet is about to arrive, and it will not be easy to deal with this old man when the time comes.

So, Xiang Chen and the others took action one after another, wanting to kill this corpse puppet master.

Although the old man was old, his legs and feet were nimble at this time, and he avoided the attacks one by one.

After a few shots, Xiang Chen found out that the old man did not have any cultivation, but was just a mortal, and he only escaped the attack with his body technique.

"He is also controlled, and only by cutting off his Yuan Shen can he release the control of the corpse puppet," Ye Xuan said.

"Flame Finger" Xiang Chen snorted, pointing at the strong wind, and one finger penetrated the old man's eyebrows.

The old man's pupils showed a glimmer of brilliance, and a relieved look revealed "thank you", as he spoke, two lines of tears were left, and he fell down.

Just when everyone thought it was over, a ball of light flashed.

A voice came out, "Why are you meddling?" "
