On the day the wedding party set out, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the drizzle fell from the height like a silk thread, sprinkling hazy ground.

A few horse-drawn carriages ticked along the dusty road all the way west, and the dust was not yet soaked, and it kicked up a trail of smoke.

The drizzle was still drizzling, and the wind had not stopped, but the carriage in the middle slowly stopped.

Meng Baiyu curled up in the spacious carriage, holding the pendant given by You Yang tightly in his hand, and looked at the curtain hanging down with an expressionless face. After a long time, he straightened up and lifted the curtain in front of him and slowly stepped out of the carriage.

In front of it is Qin Qin's cemetery. Although Qin Qin has been buried for less than a year, the cemetery has become barren. He stood stupidly for a long time before borrowing a sword from Ji Quan, and stepped forward to cut down the weeds in front of the tomb and on the tomb with a sword.

Qin Qin is a very important person to him. He is her benefactor, the lover of her dreams, and her most faithful guardian. And she is his mentor, his friend, and more like his relative.

After cutting down the weeds, Meng Baiyu dug a pit in the ground with his sword, then quietly buried the pendant in his hand into the pit, and finally grabbed a handful of soil and gently added it to Qin Qin's tomb.

"Childe, let's go, the road ahead is still far away, and it's not like I'll never come back." Ji Quanxian only watched from a distance, but finally walked over.

Meng Baiyu stood stupidly for a long time before finally getting into the carriage. The carriage began to gallop, and the four galloping beast-headed horses in front of the carriage were specially trained, and they ran with the same steps, brisk and steady. Qin Qin's mausoleum gradually disappeared behind him.

Three days later, the marriage team arrived in Quanzhen, at this time it was already sunset, looking at the whole Quanzhen is depressed, everywhere is ruined and broken, there are no pedestrians on the spacious streets, a desolation.

Seeing such a scene, Ji Quan muttered: "I wanted to get some food in this town, but it seems that there is no hope now." ”

But it was too late, so I had to spend the night in this dilapidated town. However, the team walked a long way, but did not see a single figure.

"Why don't you see a single figure, could it be that something has happened?" Meng Baiyu thought.

When I walked to the middle of the street, the carriage that opened the road at the front stopped, and at the corner of the street a few zhang away, a pavilion appeared in front of me, and above the gate of the pavilion, there was a plaque horizontally, and the word "magic shop" was particularly conspicuous.

"With such a store name, aren't you afraid of scaring away customers, I'm afraid that this store has a problem with your brain." Meng Baiyu thought to himself.

Although the name of the store is a bit cautious, it seems that it can still live in people. Meng Baiyu then got out of the carriage and motioned for the others to stand by and go to check the situation himself. When he came to the front of the building, he found that the door of the inn was hidden, and when he raised his hand to push the door in, the door suddenly opened, and a bewitching woman walked out: "Does the little brother live in the hotel or hit the tip?" ”

"Hit the point, and live in the hotel." Meng Baiyu said, and glanced at the woman again as he spoke, "But I want to look elsewhere." ”

"Yo, what kind of place do you say, there are inns everywhere for you to stay?" The woman said, and stepped forward to Lamon Bai Yu, "I said little brother, although we don't have everything in this shop, but it is the cleanest, seeing that you are so handsome, you must be a person who loves cleanliness." ”

"Let go of your stinky hands, my son-in-law is still a virgin, and I want to pull the old man." Ji Quan was worried about Meng Baiyu's safety, and had secretly followed.

"Yo, it's really yours, come to my house to stay in the hotel, and make sure you're satisfied." The enchanting woman glanced at Ji Quan with a smile, "But the old lady prefers boys." ”

Although Meng Baiyu said that he wanted to go elsewhere, he knew in his heart that there was no other place to go in this town, otherwise how could this store dare to take such a cautious name, it was really scarce and did not worry about buyers, so he had to be dragged into the store by a woman.

Entering the store, I saw that the spacious living hall was indeed clean and decent, some square tables and stools were neatly arranged, on the counter, several pots of orchids were blooming vigorously, the large cabinet behind the counter was placed with many small shochu bottles, there were two or three large wine jars next to the counter, and there was a staircase to the second floor.

When she came to the counter, the woman let go and said, "Little brother's room is in the innermost room on the second floor, the door is unlocked, you go up by yourself." ”

"Okay." Meng Baiyu spit out a word, went upstairs, and ignored Ji Quan, who followed. When he walked up the stairs, he turned back and asked the woman, "What do you have to eat?" ”

"You go and see the room first, there is meat and noodles, and I will send it when I have it ready." The woman grinned and showed a snow-white arm.

Meng Baiyu was startled, hurriedly collected his gaze, and hurriedly went upstairs.

Entering the bedroom, the first thing Meng Baiyu did was to tie the door, he was afraid that the woman would suddenly break in, and he had no experience in dealing with it. When he was in the art house, there were also many bewitching women who teased him, but the women in the art hall were different from the women in the shop, they were lively and friendly, and they often teased him as someone close to him, while the bewitching women in this shop were glamorous and profound, which made people shudder. After bolting the door, Meng Baiyu looked at the bedroom, which was a private room, with a large table and a separate bedroom, and the bed and bedding in the bedroom were complete.

After a few days of running, although those beast-headed horses ran steadily, their bodies were still a little tired, and when they saw the neat and clean bedroom, Meng Baiyu's eyes lit up, and they jumped forward to the bed. He clenched his fists, stretched forward, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Between inhales and exhales, Ji Quan has come to knock on the door: "Childe, we will stay around you, you rest first, I will go and call everyone over, and by the way, I will ask the store for some food." ”

"Okay." Meng Baiyu replied, saying goodbye to the past in the morning, and his mood was no longer so low at the moment, "Don't have a misunderstanding with the store, go out, and try to keep a low profile." ”

"Yes." Ji Quan replied and left quietly.

After a while, the marrying team entered the inn one after another, but they didn't dare to disturb Meng Baiyu, so they all entered their own bedrooms.

When he finished eating, Meng Baiyu didn't leave the bedroom, first the bewitching woman sent it, but he refused to open the door, and finally had to send it to Ji Quan.

"Manager Ji, this shop is really a bit weird, I tell everyone to take more precautions at night and not to sleep too deeply." Meng Baiyu commanded while eating.

"That's what Childe said." Ji Quan replied.

"I don't know if there are any other customers in the store." Meng Baiyu said again.

"Naturally, there are, but they are all hiding in their rooms and refusing to come out to move." Ji Quanwei said, "I have secretly investigated, they are all some passing merchants, and there is nothing suspicious." ”

"I still can't be careless, after I get out of the city, I always feel weird behind me, as if something has been staring." Meng Bai Yu said.

"Yes." Ji Quandao.

As he spoke, a spirit butterfly saw the light burning in the room and sneaked in through the open window. It fluttered its delicate wings and pounced on the burning candle on the table, and the candle was extinguished in an instant.

"Hey, butterflies also start fires?" Meng Baiyu was surprised.

Ji Quan was silent, he was already in the palm of his hand, vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him.

The candle lamp was lit again, but I saw that the spirit butterfly was attached to the plate on the table and refused to leave, I don't know whether it was greedy for the deliciousness of the dish or bound by the thick vegetable juice.

When Ji Quan saw it, he raised his hand to pat the spirit butterfly.

"Don't be in charge, I haven't eaten enough, if you want to shoot it, I can only eat a mouthful of butterfly powder." Meng Baiyu stopped, and after speaking, he gently held the spirit butterfly and put it outside the window, and gently closed the window.

Unconsciously, it was late at night, and Ji Quan went back to the room, extinguished the candles and slept in his clothes.

The night suddenly fell silent.

Meng Baiyu didn't lie down, he sat cross-legged on the seat with his eyes closed, quietly listening to the silence of the night outside the house.

At midnight, a wave of drowsiness hit, and in the haze, Meng Baiyu felt something pounding on the window. He opened his eyes and looked out the window, and it turned out that the spirit butterfly he had placed outside the window was flapping its wings against the window, as if it wanted to enter the house. Outside the window, a round of crescent moon quietly climbed up from the other side of the mountain while everyone was asleep, and the faint moonlight weaved a hazy net, covering all the scenery in the net, every grass and tree, every brick and tile, it was no longer as realistic as in the daytime.

Meng Baiyu got up, walked to the window gently, opened the window, and the spirit butterfly gently landed on his shoulder.

When Meng Baiyu turned around and was about to leave the window, he suddenly heard a scream in the distance. He was startled and immediately closed the window. At this moment, another scream was heard, but it was closer than the previous one. After the screams were over, everything was quiet again, and looking out of the window, the hazy streets were empty and unmanned.

When Meng Baiyu was feeling uneasy, a strong wind swept in, and a figure had already floated to the middle of the street, followed by countless figures floating down from the house across the street, surrounding the inn. The shadow who floated first waved his hand, and the figure behind him suddenly lit a torch in his hand, illuminating the entire street clearly, and when he looked at it, except for him in a black robe, everyone else was dressed in green clothes, holding a long sword in his hand, with a green face and fangs, which was terrifying.

Meng Baiyu was shocked again, the black robe was not a person, but an empty shell, which he had seen in Menggu Mountain

"The monster in the house, the mechanism of your almsgiving has been broken, and you don't come out quickly to die." The empty shell spoke, his voice hoarse and dark, as if from hell.

Everyone in the inn was frightened by this sudden scene, and they all got up and gathered in the hall on the first floor, although they didn't dare to make a sound, but they were all ready to flee for their lives. Meng Baiyu's marriage team drew their weapons in case of accidents.

Seeing that there was no response in the house, the empty shell was unhappy, but it didn't seem to dare to approach, so he said angrily: "Fire attack, burn them." ”

As soon as the sound fell, countless torches flew towards the inn.

Meng Baiyu saw that the people who came indiscriminately launched an attack, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and was about to summon Ji Quan to attack, when a white light broke out from Ji's body.

The empty shell was startled, jumped back, waved his hand, and the white light that flew in front of him was scattered, but the people behind were not so lucky, some of them were hit by light arrows and fell to the ground injured. Seeing this, the empty shell immediately rose into the air, waving a black smoke screen, which flew down from the air like a curtain of water, cutting out the white light that shot out, and resolving the killing of his subordinates, and then, he pulled out his long sword and swung it, and the dark sword light rushed straight towards the inn. When everyone saw this, they were horrified, but they had no time to escape, and they only felt that they were going to die here. Just as the sword was about to approach the inn, a colored light shot out from the house, the colored light and the sword touched a square, and the "pop" burst out, the brilliance was like a brilliant multicolored fireworks, the glow shone brightly, and like the lightning falling from the sky, a spiritual wave hit all sides, and the people inside and outside the house fell to the ground after a few steps back. The empty shell also seemed to be impacted, falling from the sky, falling into a, and after a while, it got up.

Meng Baiyu also got up, but his eyes were black and he couldn't see anything. He fell to the ground without feeling pain, but when he stood up, he found that he was injured, and it took him a moment before he regained his sight.

"If you want to live, you will rush out for me." Meng Baiyu shouted and rushed out first. He is so reckless, people who don't know think he is a master, but in fact, only he knows how many pounds and taels he has. He sprinted like this, firstly, knowing that there was a Ji Quan by his side, and Ji Quan would definitely protect him, and secondly, he must boost everyone's spirits and not be frightened by the other party's momentum, otherwise he can only be slaughtered by others.

At this time, everyone who was in a trance came to their senses and rushed out one after another.

Seeing that someone rushed out, the empty shell immediately took a stance, and a light black smoke in his palm gradually condensed into a fog, and the fog gradually became dark as the size changed. When the fog was as big as the moon in the sky, the empty shell pushed the fog toward the white feather. When the fog was about to touch Meng Baiyu's body, Meng Baiyu's body suddenly emitted a faint blue light, and the dark black fog was bounced back, and the empty shell was shocked, and he dodged to the side in a panic, but he couldn't dodge, and was hit by the fog and crumbling.

Meng Baiyu was shocked and flew out, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fainted to the ground.

"Withdraw." After the empty shell was established, he gave an order and jumped on the roof, and the other people in Tsing Yi who were not injured also jumped on the roof and disappeared into the busy night sky. And the man in Tsing Yi, who was injured and fell to the ground, bleed from the corners of his mouth, kicked his feet, and died. The corpses sizzled, and as a puff of smoke vanished, nothing but ashes were left on the ground.

Ji Quan was about to step forward to check Meng Baiyu's injury, when a figure suddenly appeared from a high place, quickly grabbed Meng Baiyu's back coat, and disappeared into the busy night sky, leaving only a long string of words: "Ji Quan'er, you are not effective in protecting the master, this kid and old man borrowed it first, and returned it to you in Ziyun Villa in three months, if this kid doesn't live to that time, you can kill yourself." ”
