Chapter 46: Coffin Mountain

"Hey, how long are you going to hold me in front of me?"

Phantom Ji squatted silently in front of the two, so frightened that they hurriedly separated, Ling Ning hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, Qian Mei'er turned her head sideways with a slightly red face, her little hands unconsciously playing with the ends of her hair, but she couldn't help but peek at Ling Ning.

"Really...... I can't remember anything in my head, what the hell happened? I can't remember anything after entering the fog...... Did you stinky boy get us out? ”

Ling Ning cleaned up his mood and said angrily: "Who else can there be but me?" ”

Phantom looked him up and down and said, "Do you have the ability?" Why don't I seem to remember anything, Mei'er, do you remember what happened? ”

Qian Mei'er and Ling Ning glanced at each other, and said hesitantly, "I'...... I don't remember either, only that we were swallowed up by the fog......"

"Really?" Phantom Ji stared at her suspiciously, as if judging whether she was telling the truth, "I think you just remember!" I don't believe you've forgotten everything, damn it, did you secretly happen to you while I wasn't there......"

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!" Ling Ning hurriedly stopped her "cranky thoughts".

"If you don't talk nonsense, then you can tell me what happened!"

"I won't tell you! Hee-hee-hee! Qian Mei'er made a grimace with a "proud" look.

"You stinky girl, I'd better teach you how to respect my senior sister!"

"Come on, come on, I won't be afraid of you! Hee-hee! ”

Seeing the two women making a mess in front of him, Ling Ning couldn't help but smile, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot.

At this time, Qian Mei'er seemed to notice something, she took out a glowing exquisite jade from the storage ring, swept the message from it, frowned, and said, "It's the news from Sister Shiqing......"

They hadn't heard from her for a long time since they parted with the seashore, and when they heard this, Ling Ning said happily, "What's the matter with her arraignment?" Ah, I don't know if Ping'an's little girl is okay? ”

Qian Mei'er handed him the Linglong Jade with a strange face, Ling Ning took it and read the message on it with her divine thoughts, and the message was only two words, "Coffin Mountain".

"Coffin Mountain? What is that place? Why did Shiqing pass these two words? ”

Qian Mei'er shook her head and took back the Linglong jade, "I'll send her another message, maybe there are other messages that haven't been sent......"

Phantom Ji stared at them with wide eyes, naturally she didn't know who Xia Shiqing was, so Qian Mei'er had to simply introduce her.

Phantom Ji said: "It turned out to be from Xiangzhu Mansion, but it seems that your relationship is good, which is very rare......"

Phantom Ji seems to have something to say.

Ling Ning was puzzled: "What's so rare about this? ”

Phantom Ji smiled and said, "The relationship between the five major sects in the Immortal Dust Continent is not so good, and it is even full of vendettas...... Of course, there will be a lot less fighting on the mortal continent, and it is also appropriate for you to have a good relationship with each other...... I hope you can be so good when you arrive in the Immortal Dust Continent, but it's really hard to ......."

Qian Mei'er said: "We have experienced so much from birth and death with Sister Shiqing, we will definitely continue to be fine!" ”

Phantom Ji rarely objected, just smiled faintly, she seemed to think of something A trace of sadness crossed her eyes, but this fleeting little emotion was not captured by Qian and Ling.

Phantom Ji took out the map and spread it out on the ground: "Okay, now it's time for us to plan our next trip." ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to a small city closest to them in the Dongyou Empire and said, "I think let's sneak into the city first to find out the news, I believe that many monks who have not left the Grand Canyon have already arrived, and now the city must be the most lively." ”

Ling Ning looked at the map of the Dongyou Empire, and suddenly pointed to a mountain range and said, "Here! This is the 'Coffin Mountain'! ”

Qian Mei'er was also thrilled when she heard it, and she looked down and sure enough, this "coffin mountain" was not far from them, and it would take about two or three days to arrive.

Qian Mei'er guessed: "Sister Shiqing hasn't replied yet, does she mean to tell us to go to Coffin Mountain to meet her?" ”

Ling Ning struggled to recall, "But how did she know that we would come to Dongyou? I want to think about it...... I remember, the last time we met, she said that she was going to Dongyou to find Xin'er......"

Qian Mei'er said: "Yes, Xin'er went to Dongyou one step ahead of her, and Sister Shiqing did say that she was going to meet her." Maybe she knows the news of the birth of the Buddha treasure and knows that we will also go to Dongyou, so she will leave us a message. ”

Ling Ning said: "Why don't we go to Coffin Mountain to have a look, Shiqing may really be waiting for us there." ”

Qian Mei'er cheered: "That's fine! I haven't seen Sister Shiqing for a long time, I really miss her! ”

Qian and Ling both subconsciously looked at Phantom Ji after speaking, and Phantom Ji said helplessly: "What do you see me doing?" Now that you've all decided, do you need to ask for my opinion? I really don't know what I think of as a senior sister......"

Qian and Ling looked at each other and smiled, Qian Mei'er put her arms around Phantom Ji's shoulders flatteringly, and said with a smile: "How could we not listen to Senior Sister's orders?" It's just that we happened to 'pass' by this mountain when we went into the city, and we just stopped by to take a stroll. ”

Ling Ning also smiled and said: "That's it, both of us are rookies who have never seen much of the world in the fledgling world, and we also asked Senior Sister to take us to this 'Coffin Mountain' to gain knowledge, and I don't know what kind of mountain this is that it would have such a depressing name." ”

Phantom Ji glanced at them, and she put her hands on her waist and put up the score of the senior sister: "Okay! In that case, I will make an exception and take you to the rise and gain knowledge! ”

Qian and Ling laughed in unison: "Thank you, Senior Sister!" ”

The three of them lost their mounts and could only run through the forest, but fortunately, they still didn't feel tired after a whole day of running with their cultivation and strength. At night, they lit a bonfire in the forest and prepared to spend the night, when Qian Mei'er looked at the exquisite jade in her hand with a sad face and said, "It's really strange, why didn't Sister Shiqing send another message all day?" Did something happen to her? ”

Ling Ning was surprised: "Huh? Did she really not send a message all day? ”

Qian Mei'er nodded and said, "Well, that's why I'm worried about ......."

Ling Ning said: "It seems that Shiqing is likely to be in trouble...... Why don't we rush over overnight? ”

Qian Mei'er said: "It's okay! Then let's ...... right away."

"Wait!" Phantom Ji interrupted the conversation between the two, "This is already the territory of the Nine Shades Evil Sect, and there have been strange movements from the Nine Shades recently, so let's not rush at night." If she encounters any emergency, it may be too late for us to rush over now, so it is better to be careful. ”

Qian and Ling thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, besides, with Xia Shiqing's strength, ordinary monks would not be able to defeat her so easily.

After experiencing the strange fog, Ling Ning was not so confident in his own strength, maybe his cultivation was indeed the top of the Mortal Dust Continent, but it didn't mean that he had no opponents, he really should be careful.

After Qian Meier sent a few more messages to Xia Shiqing, the three of them closed their eyes and recuperated, and set off again the next day. After running all day, we finally came to a small village deep in the mountains before nightfall.

There is a plaque hanging on the archway at the entrance of this small village, which is clearly engraved with the words "Coffin Mountain Village", and the mountain it is against is like a stone tablet that envelops the whole village in black pressure, and it is Coffin Mountain.

The sun is about to set, and the red glow reflects on this small village and looks very lonely. The whole village was silent, there was not a single candlelight to be seen, not even the smoke of the cooking, like a pool of stagnant water.

When the three of them slowly entered the small village, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, and the whole village instantly fell into deathly darkness, except for the sounds of various insects and beasts, and not a single figure could be seen.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Why is this village empty? Qian Mei'er faintly felt that something was not right.

"Not only is it empty, not even a dog, not a chicken, not a living creature." Phantom Ji also frowned.

Ling Ning turned on the "Pupil Technique: True Vision", and his vision suddenly became much brighter, and he could see that there was nothing unusual about the entire village, but there were a few wisps of dark and ominous aura faintly floating above, which seemed to be traces left not long ago.

The mountain wind whistling through brings up a large number of fallen leaves, making a ghost-like sound, which makes people's hearts bristle.

Ling Ning said: "Since Shiqing left the word 'coffin mountain', why can't you see her shadow?" ”

Qian Mei'er proposed, "I think let's take a look around first to see if there's anything unusual." ”

Phantom Ji said: "Let's not separate, lest we encounter the enemy and have no time to rescue." ”

The three of them went deep into the village, only to see that every household opened the gate widely, and could see that the courtyard was full of coffins, paper figures, candles, wreaths, ink fountains and other things.

Qian Mei'er was startled, and couldn't help leaning towards Ling Ning, "This ...... Aren't they afraid of why these people have such bad things in their homes? ”

Phantom Ji smiled, "Do you think they're all you?" But what's so scary about a pile of rotten wood? ”

Qian Mei'er said: "Who said I was scared? I...... I just wonder why no one can see it...... Difficult...... Is it ......?"

Phantom Ji said, "What is it? ”

Qian Mei'er said: "Could it be that they have all turned into zombies and are lying in coffins?" Oops, it's horrible! ”

Phantom Ji laughed and said, "What zombies are you afraid of as a monk?" Hehe, even if there is, can it still be our opponent? ”

Qian Mei'er thought about it, but when she thought of those zombies with hideous faces and maybe maggots, she still thought in her heart, "You...... Don't talk about it! Bah, bah, so that there will be no zombies! ”

Ling Ning stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, comforting: "The name of the village is 'Coffin Mountain Village', maybe every household is based on funerals, so they have made so many funeral things, don't you see that there are still a lot of tools and wood on the ground?" ”

Qian Mei'er said, "Yes...... Is that so? This unfortunate village ...... early I wouldn't have come if I had known......"

This can't blame Qian Mei'er for being timid, suddenly seeing so many coffin paper figures in this small village in the deep mountains, and not seeing a single figure, it is really heart-wrenching.

When they walked into the house, they saw that there was no trace of a fight in the house, and even the daily utensils, firewood, rice, oil, salt, gold and silver were all well placed in the cabinets.

Ling Ning smiled bitterly: "Could it be that they are really all lying in coffins?" ”

Qian Mei'er hurriedly said: "You...... Don't talk nonsense! ”

Phantom Ji said: "Why don't you open a few coffins and take a look?" ”

In the face of strong opposition from Qian Mei'er, she gave up the proposal, preferring to believe that these villagers had really prepared so many coffins, paper figures and other objects because they were engaged in funerals.

The three of them probed for a while but found nothing, and Xia Shiqing's shadow was even more nowhere to be seen. After a brief discussion, they decided to spend the night in the village and wait until the next morning.

At midnight, the silver moonlight stained the earth with a layer of hoarfrost, and a group of knights in black shirts galloped in the mountains by moonlight, and the middle-aged man led by him reined in his horse and turned around and said: "Young master, passing through the village in front is the Coffin Mountain, and you can only walk the horse and can't ride anymore." ”

Another good-looking young man nodded and turned over and dismounted, he showed an impatient look and said, "I really don't know what the elder is doing in this ghost place, hmph, if it weren't for my miraculous achievements......

The middle-aged man on the side hurriedly whispered, "Young master! ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that you have so many things, are you still afraid that they will leak it out?"

"Ahem, it's always good for the young master to be careful."

The young master flicked his sleeves and walked into the village quickly, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed him. There were about twenty people in this group, except for the middle-aged man who led the way, all of them were strong teenagers, and all of them were like the wind, obviously cultivated.

After walking for a while, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped and said, "Stop!" There's candlelight up front! There are people in the village! ”

The young master said disapprerovitically: "What is the fuss about a few people in this broken village?" ”

"Young master, you forgot that some time ago we were ordered to ...... the people in the village"

The young master let out an "oh", "Maybe it's a monk from other places, what are you afraid of so many of us?" ”

"It's better to be careful when you're out and about."

"It's really troublesome, a few of you go to explore the truth and reality, maybe it's the little girl that the sect wants to catch, if that's the case, it's really lucky."

……

When several men in black shirts kicked open the door, Ling Ning and the three of them didn't show the slightest panic on their faces, obviously they had already discovered that someone was coming.

Then more than a dozen men with swords surrounded them, even if they put the knife on their necks, they were still calm, and Qian Mei'er even showed a gesture of "I can be regarded as seeing a living person" as if she was relieved.

The moment the young master slowly walked into the hut, he was attracted by Qian Mei'er's graceful figure, but unfortunately she couldn't see the true face with a veil on her face. Then his gaze fell on the sexy Phantom Ji, and he couldn't help but look up and down, but after seeing that she was wearing an eye patch and seemed to be a "one-eyed", he couldn't help but shake his head.

Ling Ning took the lead and said, "Everyone, what does this mean? ”

The young master finally set his eyes on him and said contemptuously, "Who are you? ”

Ling Ning said, "We're just passing monks, what's the problem?" ”

The young master said "oh" and said, "You can't stay here, you guys get out of here." ”

Ling Ning said, "It's okay to go, but it's ......" he said and pointed to the knife on his neck.

The young master waved his hand, and the subordinates around him withdrew their blades, Ling Ning arched his hand and was about to leave, when he heard him say again: "That...... Those two women left me ......"

The middle-aged man on the side turned slightly more and hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Young Master, the elder is still waiting on the mountain...... How can you take two women with you at this time? ”

The young master said, "Who said I was going to take them?" Wouldn't it be better to send three people to stay here and keep an eye on them? Hey, look at the aura on their bodies, they're just low-level disciples, what are you afraid of? ”

"Young Master! Now is the time for the sect to employ people, how can you still be in the mood to play with women......"

"Alright, alright! that one-eyed dragon! Can't I just keep a woman? ”

Phantom Hime's face froze, and then she pointed to her nose and said, "Me? Does the one-eyed dragon mean me? ”

The young master snorted and said, "Who else is it not you?" The figure is good, but it's a pity...... Hey...... You also roll for the master, and be careful later, I'll strip you naked and throw you into the mountains! Hahaha! ”

The entourage also laughed when they saw him say this, but Phantom Ji didn't laugh angrily, she slowly walked up to the young master. Everyone knew that their young master was cultivating in order to get it, so he just watched the excitement with a lewd smile on his face and did not stop it, but the middle-aged man stepped forward to block him.

Although Phantom Ji still had a smile on her face, her tone was already very displeased: "Dare to say that I am a one-eyed dragon, you are still the first...... Well, I'll show you my eyes......"

She tore off the blindfold of her right eye, and saw that the middle-aged man was instantly shocked like a lightning strike, and the young master was the same, but he seemed to be more "fragile" and instantly bleed. Although Qian and Ling were very curious about what the scene was under her blindfold, they couldn't see it with their backs to her, thinking that this must be her housekeeping method.

The entourage was stunned, and then hurriedly grabbed it to pull away Phantom Ji, but Qian and Ling had already drawn their respective blades, and there was almost no scream, everyone's throats were cut between the lightning and flint, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and even the people who didn't come in outside the house were slaughtered by Qian and Ling one by one.

Whether it is Qian Mei'er, Ling Ning, or Phantom Ji, they are not people who love to kill, but in this world of cultivating immortals, they seem to have become accustomed to leaving no living mouth for the enemy, whether it is the person who is killed, or the person who kills, maybe they are ready to be killed in their hearts, so there is nothing to sympathize with, let alone be soft.

When they returned to the hut, Phantom put on their blindfolds again, and the master and servant were bruised and their faces were full of horror, apparently frightened to death.

Qian Mei'er put away her blade and said curiously, "What did you do?" What secret is hidden in that eye of yours? ”

Phantom Ji smiled and said, "You want to see it?" ”

Qian Mei'er said: "I won't be like them, right?" ”

Phantom Ji said: "Then I can't guarantee it! ”

Qian Mei'er put on an indifferent look: "Then forget it, my curiosity is not so heavy." ”

Every monk has his own secrets, and what should not be asked should not be asked, which is the consensus of almost all monks. The more secrets you hear, the more people you'll be targeted.

Ling Ning said: "Okay, okay, these people seem to be going up the mountain, it seems that there is a bustle on the mountain tonight, let's go over and take a look." I started too fast just now, and I didn't leave a single living mouth...... I thought you weren't going to kill them. ”

Phantom Ji said: "Anyone who sees my eyes is already dead, but it's not that I don't leave my mouth alive!" ”

Qian Mei'er searched for a token from the young master's body with the words "Nine Shadows" written on it, obviously these people were all disciples of the Nine Shadows Evil Sect, but they didn't know what his identity was.

The three dragged the body into the hut and then climbed the coffin hill by moonlight, and the villagers often went up the mountain to cut trees, so a wide mountain road had already been carved out. The three of them walked along the main road and didn't find anything abnormal, the coffin mountain occupies a large area, and they didn't know where to go for a while, Xia Shiqing never replied, just when they wanted to give up, the starting point suddenly lit up in the distance, and the light was obviously generated by many people lighting torches.

The three of them hurriedly put on their cloaks and ran towards the firelight, after passing through the layers of woods, the light was already near, they climbed a towering tree, condescendingly with the help of the moonlight, they could clearly see that there was a group of people not far away who were holding torches around to collect branches, they stacked the branches in front of a cave, and there were seven or eight corpses lying in the dark cave, it can be seen that the people in the cave are very tricky, they want to set fire to the cave to force the people in the cave to come out.

Ling Ning silently counted in his heart, there were about thirty of these people, judging from the black shirts on their bodies, they were the same as the young master and his party when they met, they should be the disciples of the Nine Evil Sect. In the center sat a burly fat man, his eyes closed, his fat face and bald head full of oil, which were particularly eye-catching in the moonlight.

What's even more remarkable is the big knife he pestled on the ground with a pitch-black body like ink, this big knife Qian and Ling are both very familiar, the two of them thought for a moment and recalled at the same time, isn't this Su Jiu's big knife? Could it be that something happened to Su Jiu?

Qian and Ling both looked at each other, and a bad feeling surged in their hearts, and at this moment, the fat man suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light gushed out from his little eyes!
