There is a dense forest on the edge of the pasture, which is lush and green, covering the sky and the sun.

Mu Qing chased all the way to the depths of the dense forest until the man in white stopped. The man in white had his back to him, standing less than twenty or thirty paces away in front of him, and judging by his figure, there was no doubt that he was a young woman.

The man in white noticed that there was someone behind him, turned around, and as soon as his eyes met, the two of them exclaimed almost at the same time: "Why are you?" "It turns out that the man in white is Duanmu Huahai.

Duanmu Huahai asked first: "It's obvious that you made an appointment with me, how could you be so surprised to see me?" ”

"Me?" Mu Qing was confused.

Duanmu Huahai walked up to Mu Qing and handed over a note, only to see that it was neatly written: "Temporarily borrow a set of girls' clothes, and wait until tonight, meet in the ebony grassland outside the village, and return the original at that time." "Signed" an admirer. ”

Mu Qing couldn't cry or laugh, and even said that the clothes were not borrowed by himself, and the letters were not written by himself, so the reason why he strayed into this place was just a coincidence. After saying that, he turned to leave, but was stopped.

Duanmu Huahai smiled: "I hope it's you." After a pause, he asked, "Childe left in such a hurry, did he think I was ugly?" ”

Mu Qing was slightly stunned and said, "The beauty of the girl is unparalleled in the world. ”

"Then why did Childe refuse me thousands of miles away?" After that, Duanmu Huahai was about to step forward to provoke Mu Qing.

Mu Qing's face turned red and said, "The girl is a married woman, please respect yourself." ”

"Whether it's a married husband or a married woman, it's just to get greedy for a while, why bother with the three platforms and five constants?" Duanmu Huahai said as he lightly untied his shirt. As the clothes fade away, the posture becomes more and more graceful, intoxicating and uncontrollable. Mu Qing was also confused, his head was confused for a while, his expression was confused, and all he thought of in his eyes was Duanmu Huahai.

Duanmu Huahai smiled proudly, like a winner, but there was a hint of murder in his smile. I don't know when, there was a sharp dagger hidden in her hand behind her back, and she approached Mu Qing step by step, and Mu Qing didn't know all this.

"Boom" suddenly exploded, Mu Qing suddenly sobered up, and when he found out his ugly state, he was ashamed.

This was followed by several rumblings, accompanied by one wail after another, and the sound came from the hanging river ebony.

"Divert the tiger from the mountain" Mu Qing was suspicious of his plan, he was very angry, pushed the Duanmu Flower Sea away heavily, and rushed towards the grassland without looking back.

I don't know when, the grassland actually gave birth to a thick white fog for no reason, which could not be seen through or penetrated, and only light and shadow were left near and far. When Mu Qing was in the distance, there were still many figures in the white mist, and when he got closer, there was only one person left.

Mu Qing entered the white mist, first smelled a strong fragrance, and then saw broken porcelain everywhere, as well as corpses lying horizontally and vertically, each eye was wide open, and the seven orifices were bleeding. Mu Qing was shocked: "I only left for a moment, what happened here?" ”

At this moment, a cold hand held Mu Qing tightly, he looked back, it turned out to be Fei Zishan, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Due to extreme fear, Fei Zishan kept trembling, trembling and pointing to a wooden box behind Mu Qing, and said, "She's here, she's here." ”

Mu Qing asked, "Who?" ”

"It's her, ghost girl, in the wooden box." Fei Zishan turned to the wooden box, clenched his fists, tried his last strength, and shouted: "Disappear quickly, I order you to disappear quickly." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the wooden box shook violently, as if a beast was trapped in it and wanted to break out.

Fei Zishan was so frightened that he forgot to escape, and just stared at it with wide eyes and horror.

Suddenly there was a boom, the wooden box was torn apart, and a puff of black smoke rushed out of the wooden box and rushed straight to Feizi Mountain. Mu Qing flew to the rescue, but it was still too late, black smoke passed through Fei Zishan's body, only to hear a wail, Fei Zishan fell to the ground in response, bleeding from the seven orifices, and his death was the same as others.

The black smoke did not drift away, but coalesced together, forming a pitch-black, impenetrable black fog. After a while, a person slowly walked out of the black fog, it was a woman, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a pretty appearance and gorgeous clothes. Like Mu Qing, there was also a melancholy color between her eyebrows.

Mu Qing intuitively knew her, but this memory was hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and for a while, he couldn't figure out who she was.

Mu Qing asked, "Are you a ghost girl?" ”

The woman didn't answer, she didn't say a word, just stared at Mu Qing quietly for a while, her face was reluctant, and then she suddenly turned around to leave.

Mu Qing stopped in front of her, pointed to the corpses lying on the ground, and asked, "They have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm them?" ”

The woman turned a deaf ear, bypassed Mu Qing, and continued to walk forward.

Mu Qing felt that something was wrong, and decided to restrain her, so that he could go back and ask her slowly. He refused to hurt people in his back, so he went around again, put the god and demon ruler in front of him, and said, "Offended." So saying, he attacked it. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, and given that the other party was a woman, he shot very lightly, even so, if it was an ordinary ghost, he couldn't stand it. I didn't think about it, but she avoided it, easily.

Mu Qing was slightly startled, and attacked again, this time the shot was a little heavier than just now, but he still couldn't control her. As a last resort, he had to use all his strength, and he was afraid that he would hurt her, so he shouted before making a move: "You have to be careful." ”

This time, Mu Qing used the Yin Yang Five Elements Sword Technique, and saw several dark blue flames suddenly burst out from the ground, three or four people tall, surrounding the women. Then the flames swirled around the woman, shrinking, until they converged into a large flame, and the woman was trapped in the flames. If it were replaced by other yin ghosts, burned by this flame, she would definitely be in great pain and lose her mana, but on the other hand, the woman, without the slightest painful look on her face, still looked as calm and calm as before, which made Mu Qing really surprised.

Suddenly, the flame that was burning just now froze and turned into ice crystals, crystal clear, sparkling and translucent. I saw the woman touch it lightly with her fingers, and the flames shattered to the ground like glass that had been violently impacted.

This was not Mu Qing's doing, and even he didn't know what was going on. Before he could come back to his senses, he was thrown into the air by a powerful external force and thrown into the icy water of the Ganges.

"Who the hell are you?" Mu Qing roared, his emotions almost out of control.

Looking at the back of the woman who was gradually moving away, the memory that Mu Qing had hidden in the deepest part of his heart finally came to his heart, he remembered her identity, and suddenly burst into tears, and asked repeatedly: "Why, why did you leave me?" ”

The woman was unmoved, and still walked forward quickly.

Mu Qing wanted to chase after him, but his shoulders were firmly pressed and he couldn't move. He hated the person who held him firmly, and he hated the woman who abandoned him ruthlessly.

"Ah" Mu Qing was so angry that he used all his strength to break free, and finally he stood up.

"Brother Qing, are you okay?"

Mu Qing's body was weak and a little unsteady on his feet, so Chu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help. Mu Qing looked around, only to find that he was in the inn, and he muttered, "It turned out to be just a dream." ”

"That must be a terrible nightmare, why can't the three of us hold you down." Chu Yi pointed his hand at Xu Hancai and Fang Liusheng, who were still falling to the ground, and said, "The three of us were thrown out by you. ”

Mu Qing apologized a little and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

"We're all fine, but," Xu Hancai asked, "I'm curious, what did you dream about that would make you so afraid?" I've been with you for so long, and I've never seen you afraid, let alone so scared. ”

Mu Qing sighed lightly and said, "It's been a long time ago, I thought I had forgotten it, but for some reason I suddenly remembered it again. After a pause, he said, "A long time ago, my mother sent me to study art at Master's place, and I haven't seen her since. I still remember the day I said goodbye to her, she left me and left, I begged bitterly, but she didn't even look back, I wanted to chase after her, but I was held down by the master. It's the nightmare that I will never get away with. "Even though it's been a long time, my heart still hurts when I think about it.

Xu Hancai asked, "Didn't you go to her later?" ”

Mu Qing said: "I went, but I was gone." ”

Xu Han was puzzled, and asked again: "After a long time, you may have moved, you can go to your uncle and brother to ask, maybe they will know." ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I used to look for it, but it was all gone, it is said that the nine clans were wiped out, and even a relative is gone." ”

Everyone was silent, and did not continue to ask.

Mu Qing seemed to remember something, and asked: "I remember that I was in the Hanging River Ebony, fighting with the ghost girl, how did I get here in a blink of an eye, could it be just a dream?" ”

Chu Yi said: "Brother Qing, the matter of the hanging river ebony was three days ago. ”

Mu Qing was taken aback and asked, "What?" ”

Fang Liusheng said: "Yes, you have been in a coma for three days. ”

Mu Qing was taken aback again and asked, "Three days?" ”

Fang Liusheng said: "No, when you were sent back, the seven orifices were bleeding and your expression was terrifying, which frightened us all. Sister Chu Yi was afraid that you would leave like this, and she had been guarding you sleepless for three days, washing her face with tears all day long, we couldn't persuade her, so we had to accompany you together. ”

Sure enough, Chu Yi's face was still stained with tears, and Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said, "Miss Chu, don't worry, I'm all right." ”

"Really?" Chu Yi didn't believe it.

"Only this place doesn't feel good." Mu Qing pointed to his stomach and said, "Hungry." ”

Chu Yi burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Wait, I'll get you something to eat." With that, he trotted away, and in a short time a bowl of hot noodles was served. Mu Qing devoured it, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

After eating, Mu Qing suddenly felt much more comfortable and regained some strength.

Mu Qing asked, "What about the others?" He was referring to the people who had gone with him to catch the ghosts.

Fang Liusheng said: "Those people woke up earlier than you, they were all scared, and they slipped away yesterday." ”

Xu Hancai added: "A person named Fei Zishan has come to see you a few times, and it seems that he is going to leave today." ”

Mu Qing asked, "When?" ”

Xu Hancai asked: "Remember to say that it was the time." ”

Mu Qing looked out the window, the sky was already bright, and it was the time at this time, so he thought about sending Fei Zishan. As soon as he went downstairs, Fei Zishan was about to drive away, and hurriedly called out to him.

When Fei Zishan saw that it was Mu Qing, he was surprised and delighted, and said; "I know that Mu Daxia is a good person, and he will definitely be fine."

Mu Qing asked, "Why are you in a hurry to leave?" ”

"This place is too dangerous to stay, not to stay." Fei Zishan waved his hand again and again, and said: "That ghost girl is as terrifying as I imagined, I don't dare to stay longer for a moment, if it weren't for Mu Daxia, I would have followed them yesterday." ”

Xu Hancai interjected coldly and asked, "What is the ghost girl you saw?" ”

"Human head, snake body, green face, fangs" Fei Zishan only said a few words and then stopped talking, and said: "Don't dare to think about it anymore, don't dare to mention it again." ”

Xu Hancai and Fang Liusheng glanced at each other, their expressions were different, and this scene happened to be seen by Mu Qing.

Mu Qing said a few more words to Fei Zishan, gave him some broken silver, and said goodbye to him reluctantly.

After the others left, Mu Qing turned his head and asked Xu Hancai, "What's going on with the look in your eyes just now?" ”

Xu Hancai pulled Mu Qing back to the room and asked, "Let's talk about it first, what does the ghost girl you see look like?" ”

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's my mother's appearance." ”

Xu Hancai said: "Not only are the ghost girls you see different from Fei Zishan, but even the ghost girls you see are different, all of them are the same. ”

Mu Qing asked, "How do you know this?" ”

Xu Hancai didn't speak, turned his head and gestured to Fang Liusheng, so Fang Liusheng continued: "When you were unconscious, I had nothing to do, and I heard it by chance when I was talking to someone. When I first heard it, I thought it was strange, and because of curiosity, I asked one by one, but I didn't want everyone to see the ghost girl different. ”

Xu Hancai said: "Actually, it's not all different, one thing is exactly the same. ”

Mu Qing asked, "What is it?" ”

Xu Hancai said: "The ghost girl they saw was exactly the same as they imagined, it was no different, and it was the most feared image in their hearts. ”

Mu Qing realized something and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Hancai said: "The ghost girl does not exist, or only exists in their hearts, it is something that illuminates the fear in their hearts. ”

"Porcelain vase, strange fragrance, is it..." Mu Qing seemed to understand a little, paused, and asked, "Who sent me back that night?" ”

Xu Hancai responded: "Ding Dushan Mountain"

Mu Qing was taken aback and said, "Why is he!" ”
