Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 36 The Mysterious Ice Spring Temple

Qiu Fengqing came to the stone steps in front of the door of the boya room, and suddenly heard bursts of giggling laughter from inside, the laughter was gentle and beautiful, and it touched Qiu Fengqing's heartstrings at once, and his heart instantly stirred, and he immediately ran forward and pushed the door open.

"Who's messing around in my room?" As soon as Qiu Feng Qingfang pushed the door open, he was greeted by a thin and graceful woman, who smiled lightly, and was also looking at him at the moment.

"Oh, Liuzhao-kun, where have you been? Let me and the fifth senior sister wait! Lin Yutang walked over excitedly, pulled Qiu Fengqing, and dragged him in.

"Weiwei," Qiu Fengqing looked at Mu Weizhi, who had become more gentle and lovely, and lost his mind for a moment, admiring in his heart, Mu Weizhi was one of the most beautiful women he had seen, her gentleness and delicateness always made people have an urge to protect, Qiu Fengqing wanted to protect this woman for the rest of her life and not let her be hurt in any way.

"Liuzhao-kun, you're finally out of the customs! Don't leave us again! Mu Weizhi was also very excited to see the autumn breeze, he hadn't seen him for five years, the three of them missed it very much, this night was destined to be a sleepless night, and the three of them stayed up all night and chatted all night.

At dawn, Mu Weizhi couldn't stand it and fell asleep, Qiu Fengqing sent Mu Weizhi back to her dormitory, and Fang told Lin Yutang about going down the mountain, Lin Yutang listened, refused to miss this golden opportunity, and begged Qiu Fengqing to bring him with him, but during the initiate's meeting, without Mo Jiu's instructions, Qiu Fengqing couldn't easily take him away, so he refused him. Lin Yutang could only watch the autumn breeze leave Wudang Mountain before dawn, his heart was like a deer crashing, scratching his heart and liver, and in a hundred turns, Lin Yutang seemed to have made some decision and had a plan in his heart.

Qiu Fengqing left the Hidden Immortal Sect, did not hide, he set off in the direction of Stone City, along the way he met a few traveling hunters, so he inquired about the situation in the lower villages and towns, whether there were evil haunts, and the hunters all said no. The news of the Hidden Immortal Sect said that the evil cult originated in Stone City, and so far, I have not heard that other villages and towns have been affected, presumably, this evil cult is still in Stone City.

Thinking of this, Qiu Fengqing quickened his pace, and within half a day, he came to a city gate, which was engraved with three big characters, "Stone City".

As soon as Fang stepped into this stone town, he was attracted by these houses, Stone Town, as the name suggests, the houses are all built of stone, large and small stones are inlaid together, very solid, and the image is quite elegant. The summer is refreshing and pleasant, but the winter is a little cold, so the people here like to be busy outside in winter, compared to the cold in the stone house, at least there is some sun shining outside, and the heart can be warmer.

It was the morning, and the sun was shining on the snow-white stone tiles, gilding the houses here with a layer of gold, and there was an indescribable sense of mystery. Qiu Fengqing looked at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street, all walking towards a temple at the gate of the city, so he also followed, standing not far away and watching, only to see that everyone was lined up, entering the temple gate in turn, and worshipping sincerely.

The autumn breeze was clear, so he inquired with the passers-by next to him to learn the origin of this temple.

Legend has it that here is the ancestor of the Yu family, because to avoid the war, only to choose this stone city surrounded by mountains, the stone town is like a paradise, the ancestors of the surname Yu were protected by it, so they escaped from the world. However, the place where Stone Town is located is far away from the river, and the geological structure is special, so it is impossible to store water, so the villagers have water, which has become a problem for a time. Fortunately, later the ancestors found that there is an ancient spring well near the city gate, there is a live spring in the ancient spring well, the spring water is murmuring, the river is endless, since then, the villagers have solved the problem of draft, and everyone can go to the ancient spring well every day to draw water. The ancient spring water is cold and biting, so the ancestors named it Ice Spring. The ice spring has nurtured generations of people, and the locals worship it as the fountain of life, so their ancestors built an ice spring temple next to the ice spring, and the people from generation to generation have made daily offerings with incense, which is extremely religious.

Qiu Fengqing looked at everyone's orderly pious worship, and suddenly, a sloppy and crazy middle-aged man ran from the city, did not follow everyone into the seedlings and incense, but crossed the Ice Spring Temple, and ran straight towards the Ice Spring Well not far from the temple gate. I saw the man staggering to the well, poofed, knelt down on the edge of the well, howled and cried, crying and muttering inarticulately, "Yan'er, Yan'er, why do you want to come here, this well eats people, my smoke is eaten by the well!" ”

The villagers who came and went saw it, their faces showed disgust, and then they shook their heads and showed regret, there was a person who seemed to have some friendship with this crazy person, and when he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to help him up, afraid that he would not be able to think of it, and persuaded, "Second Master Yu, what are you doing, Shengyan's nephew has been gone for more than a few years, besides, this well is a moat, how can you eat people, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Yu Er Ye glanced at the man, pushed him away, his face was sad and indignant, "My cigarette fell into this well, I sent someone to find it, there is nothing else in the well except a spring, it was not eaten by the well, so where did my smoke go?" ”

The man was also displeased when he was pushed like this, and said angrily, "You are really... Crazy! Then he didn't bother with him, but turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Qiu Fengqing was quite curious, so he took a step closer, caught up with the person, blocked his way, and bowed to Shi Li, "This venerable brother, I just arrived, and I saw that the person was a little crazy, and I was quite curious, can you talk a little bit about it and solve my doubts." ”

The man saw that the autumn breeze was upright, graceful, and quite favorable, so he opened his mouth and said, "You don't know, this jade second master, is a big family in Stone City, his wife died ten years ago, leaving a son, it is this jade smoke, after his wife died, he was greedy for beauty, married three concubines in a row, concubines compete for favor, and the family dog is restless!" Later, I don't know why, Yu Shengyan disappeared, and it didn't take long for this Yu Shengyan's body to appear in the Jade Mansion again, the death was extremely terrifying, I heard that his body was shriveled and shriveled, unrecognizable, hideous and terrifying. ”

When Qiu Fengqing heard this, he felt even more strange, so he led the man into a teahouse, and the man continued to preach, "At that time, the people in the city saw the death of Yu Shengyan, and they were all afraid, and they didn't dare to pass by the door of his house for a long time, but it is strange to say, soon after Yu Shengyan's body suddenly returned, Yu Erye went crazy, the concubines in the house died one after another, and the subordinates also fled with his property, he was crazy alone, and went to the ancient well all day long to cry and mourn, and said that his son died by jumping into the water, He also said that the spring in the well water was a monster who ate his son! It's crazy like this! ”

The man took a sip of tea and felt extremely sorry, "Second Brother, it's a pity, what a happy family it was, just because of his greed, he ruined his son!" If you know today, why bother in the first place! ”

"Brother Venerable, I still have something I want to ask you about, I heard that there have been evil things in the city recently, but is there such a thing?" Qiu Fengqing asked.

"It's true that at this time, there have been people dying in our city one after another recently, and that death is very scary, but it is quite similar to the death of that jade shengyan!" As soon as the man mentioned this, he was worried, "We ordinary people, where can we fight monsters, so I went up the mountain to find the Hidden Immortal Sect, but who knows, the Dao Masters sent have also had accidents one after another!" ”

The man sighed and blamed himself, "I didn't expect to cause them to die, I feel a loss in my heart!" ”

"Brother Venerable doesn't have to blame himself, eliminate harm for the people, this is my duty as a cultivator, I can't hide it, I am the autumn breeze of the Hidden Immortal Sect, and this time I am also here for this matter." The autumn breeze is clear and self-reported.

As soon as the man heard that it was from the Hidden Immortal Sect, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Ah, it turned out to be the Autumn Dao Leader of the Hidden Immortal Sect, I am the city lord of this city, Yufeng Tower, I don't know that the chief is coming, it's rude, it's rude!" ”

"It's okay, the Jade City Lord doesn't need to be polite, I want to take a look at the villagers who were killed first, I don't know if it's convenient or not." Qiu Fengqing has no clues, so he can only look at the victim first, hoping to find some clues.

When the Jade City Lord heard this, he seemed to be very embarrassed, and even his face turned pale, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Because it has been some time since this happened, the villagers who were killed have already been buried, but I can lead you to their homes to have a look, but you have to be mentally prepared, it's very scary!" ”

Qiu Fengqing thought about it, and it could only be like this, so he followed the Jade City Lord to a rather imposing mansion, and before he got close, he faintly smelled a smell of blood, Qiu Fengqing couldn't help frowning slightly, and his face was solemn. When I walked to the front, I saw two golden silk nanmu gates, which were very magnificent, and they must be dignitaries in the city.

The Jade City Lord stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly pushed the door open, only glanced at it, and then couldn't bear to turn his face away. He turned his head and said to Qiu Fengqing, "Chief Qiu Dao, this place is extremely ominous, let's not go in, let's take a look here and leave." ”

Qiu Fengqing ignored the kindness of the Jade City Lord behind him, raised his feet and stepped in, only to see that the ground was full of dried bloodstains, embroidered and dilapidated, presumably the people here were extremely painful before they died, and the smell of blood just now was even stronger at the moment, except for the broken tables and chairs in the house, there was no life.

The lord of the jade city led Qiu Fengqing to walk through the streets and alleys, and successively arrived at three places where he was killed, everywhere he went, they were filled with a strong smell of blood, and the four families who were killed were all big families in the city, and there were groups of wives and concubines and children in the family, all of whom were killed, Qiu Fengqing couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and thought, "How much deep hatred and hatred there is, and it is such a heavy hand!" ”

"Jade City Lord, if there are any clues, please listen to me." Qiu Fengqing tried to collect some clues as much as possible.

"This..."The Jade City Lord thought hard and said, "There are really no other clues, no one has ever seen what this thing was doing, and even the neighbors didn't hear the sound, if it weren't for the blood flowing out of the mansion the next day, no one would have found the dead at all!" ”

The Jade City Lord seemed to think of something again, and said, "It seems that there is a little bit in common, these four families were killed, and they were all killed by a month, and the time of death was the night of the full moon of the month, I wonder if this is a coincidence?" ”

"A full moon night?" The autumn breeze is clear and thoughtful. Suddenly, he spotted a figure passing by.

"Who?" Qiu Fengqing was shocked and immediately chased after it!
