Zheng Xiu finally understood at this point.

Why did the cotton molt appear here, and why didn't there be a dark tent here, wrapped in ghosts.

The conditions for the formation of the ghost snake are obvious, it is a dead person, and a certain order of magnitude of dead people will make this place extremely close to Changyan, forming the junction of Changshi and Changyan, which is called a ghost snake.

In a short period of time, when a large number of human souls with "Xiang" move towards Changyan, the barrier between the two realms will be opened and the entrance to Changyan will be opened.

Although there are many dead people in the sky burial forest, the area is remote, and most of the people buried here are locals, so it cannot form a certain scale.

Naturally, there are no ghosts.

But at this time, one dies from time to time, and a small number of human souls open up "small passages" that can almost be ignored.

These small passages are as thin as pinholes, Zheng Xiu can't even feel the filth, and normally they won't affect the ordinary world.

However, there is a kind of insect called "cotton molt" in the common man, and its silk can pass through these "needle eye channels", and through these small channels, the cotton molt can absorb human nutrients here again and multiply.

All kinds of clues converged in Zheng Xiu's mind, and he gradually sorted out his thoughts.

The only thing he didn't understand was why the cotton molt appeared once every 100 years, and why, only twenty years after the last appearance, it had a chance to return to the world again.

"I see."

Zheng Xiu remembered the "Cleansing Ceremony" in Jingtang Town, where pregnant women and people were burned to death, and according to local customs, they would also transport their bodies here for a "sky burial". And it is this move that makes these small "needle eye channels" more stable, which in turn promotes cotton molting.

Ruchen obediently stood aside, listening to Zheng Xiu's words, "Don't come over", he made a few complicated gestures curiously at this time, and didn't know what to express, he asked: "Brother Zheng, in front, there is something?" ”

Ruchen was a little scared.

"yes, something."

Zheng Xiu's gaze fell on the hanging cocoon again.

The facial features attached to the cocoon wall unexpectedly showed a bit of fluctuation in a humane way.

It looks like it's crying.

It's like begging for mercy.

"It's just a monster."

Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows, shook his wrist, and in a crisp sound of bones, a long black knife appeared in his hand.

"Broken Moon."

Zheng Xiu swung his knife to cut off the cotton threads.

With each cut, the black shadow in the cocoon twitched, and gradually the worm in the cocoon became weaker and weaker.

Ruchen saw Zheng Xiu waving his knife at the air, and vaguely understood something.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, folded his hands, and was silent.

After cutting off all the cotton silk, the cotton molt was already dying, Zheng Xiu's figure stepped forward, and the only one of the eighteen slashes of the coiling dragon only needed one knife move, and after the derivative change, it swept over the cocoon.

The straight blade glides gently over the cocoon like a thin thread.

Zheng Xiu had already turned around, and the broken moon was horizontal in front of him, inch by inch, slowly entering the sheath.

Click.

Snort!

The sound of the sheath being sheathed rang out at the same time as the sound of the cocoon bursting.

"Speed."

The Broken Moon Knife dissolves and disappears.

All of Zheng Xiu's moves are under the "variables" brought by the [Surprise Cage], and at the same time, they are born from the "Eighteen Slashes of the Coiling Dragon". Zheng Xiu's starting point is the Treasure King, and he is evolving the Treasure King's self-created "Coiling Dragon Eighteen Slashes" into a move that truly belongs to him.

Closing his eyes and mourning for a few seconds for the treasure king Cangyun, who passed away twenty years ago, Zheng Xiu thought silently in his heart.

Thank you, Treasure King, Cangyun!

Ruchen opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and looked at the clearing behind him in amazement, all the trees were broken at the same height, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.

Zheng Xiu cut most of the forest with one knife.

"Brother Zheng, you said that if we go back to town, will we be beaten?"

Stunned Ruchen asked stupidly.

You've ruined someone else's burial forest!

"No, it won't."

Zheng Xiu's tone was not too sure.

Ruchen: "We'll solve it?" ”

Zheng Xiu glanced back, the forest was full of mess, and when he opened the [Spiritual Vision] again, the "spores" in the sky quickly withered, lost their luster, fell into the forest, and dissipated as dry ashes.

All the silk threads from the cotton molt were cut off, and the tiny passage to Changyan was closed at the same time.

Zheng Xiu nodded after confirming: "It should be solved, but there is one more point, which is to warn them not to hold a heavenly funeral in the near future, otherwise there is still a possibility that the entrance to Chang Yan will be opened." Or is it ...... Change places. ”

Hearing this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

The two happily walked back.

Ruchen felt like he had done a good deed, and he was in a happy mood.

Zheng Xiu walked for a while with his eyes closed, took a small nap, and played as he walked.

It's a new skill he inadvertently unlocked - Sleep Walk.

Return to Jingtang Town.

Zheng Xiu, who was "sleeping" and napping in a daze, opened his eyes suddenly.

There were bursts of wailing and cries from the town.

The streets were still empty, and eight corpses were neatly placed in the open space where the "cleansing ceremony" had been held.

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and from the bulges on the chest and abdomen, it appeared to be a pregnant woman in Jingtang Town.

Zheng Xiu's heart sank.

A bright smile froze on his face.

"What's going on? Didn't we solve the cotton molt? Ruchen panicked, the clouds in front of him were like waterfalls, listening to the cries of the people, Ruchen pulled Zheng Xiu's sleeve at a loss, and asked with a sad face.

Zheng Xiu's face sank like water, and he pushed away the crowd and stepped forward to check.

The people who were pushed away were full of grief and anger at the moment, and they were about to scold, but when they looked up, they saw that it was a fierce man who had punched and kicked in the town not long ago, and they were so frightened that Chrysanthemum shrank and was silent.

Zheng Xiu lifted the white cloth on one of the corpses, only to see that the pregnant woman's eyes were bulging, and the mildew spots on her skin were peeling into fine chips, apparently dead for a long time.

All pregnant women die in the same way.

The people gathered in a circle, their expressions complicated.

Anger, fear, resentment, sadness.

Everyone looked at the macho man with this complicated gaze.

Zheng Xiu looked at the eight corpses and was silent, but Ruchen stepped forward and explained loudly: "Brother Zheng solved the cotton molt for the guys, and the cotton molt died!" ”

"Fart!" A man with red eyes and bloodshot pointed at Zheng Xiu in the center: "He killed my mother-in-law!" ”

"If he hadn't intervened and used the Purification Ceremony, they wouldn't have died so miserably!"

"Murderer!"

"Bastard!"

"Son of a bitch!"

"Get out of the pond!"

"Alien get out of the mirror!"

The dead are confident, and the emotions of the crowd surrounding the corpses in the open space are becoming more and more turbulent.

Ruchen was anxious, and her red face sprayed back: "You are the fart!" Will you not burn them alive too? Why did we kill them? Fart, fart, fart, fart! You're the fart! ”

The crowd shouted even more.

The sound shook the sky.

Someone was bold enough to throw a clay bowl at the macho man.

With a bang, the pottery bowl smashed on the head of the macho man who did not dodge or dodge, the pottery bowl shattered, and the macho man's head was intact.

Someone reminded that the people suddenly woke up and found a new way to vent their anger, so they frantically threw many hard objects at the macho man.

"Stop! What's the matter with us! We're here to save people! What's the matter with us! ”

The situation in front of him was beyond Ruchen's expectations, and he desperately explained to the people of Jingtang Town.

Ruchen's face became more and more distorted, and the green tendons on his forehead were revealed. Suddenly, Ruchen's five fingers were hooked into claws, making a clicking sound, and the pupils of his eyes shrank like beasts, and he raised his five claws towards one of the men who scolded him the hardest—his wife lay not far from Ruchen.

"Still want to kill? You have the ability to kill us all! ”

"Yes, yes, you have the ability to do it!"

Ruchen suddenly let out a strange cry: "It's your own request, Lao Tzu has never heard such a ridiculous request!" Then kill! Kill them all! ”

With that, the figure of the dust rushed forward like lightning.

Boom!

Zheng Xiu was as fast as dust, and smashed a fist on the back of Ruchen's head.

Ruchen rolled his eyes and fell face to the ground.

Zheng Xiu knew that Ruchen had a ghost on his head, which was very strong, and this punch used fifty percent of his strength. So much so that the sound made by Zheng Xiu when he hammered his head like dust was like knocking on a bronze bell, which was deafening.

When Ruchen fell to the ground, his face fell down, and the floor cracked, smashing out a "face pit".

The angry people were dumbfounded and gasped.

It was as if they had been doused with ice water and suddenly woke up.

The monk is an honest man and is easy to bully. But the macho man is not easy to bully, look at him so fierce that he even kills his own people.

After the macho man rang the bell, the crowd around the macho man and the monk was dead silent and stalemate for a while.

Then.

There was another commotion in another street, and a man with a scythe ran towards him with a look of anger on his face, shouting as he ran.

"Come here, everybody! The people of the Cuihua family are still alive! The people of the Cuihua family are still fucking alive! ”
