On the street where people come and go, everyone who walks by must look at the man and woman more.

The man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face is handsome, but his white hair is really terrifying. He carried a black sword box behind his back, and he had an indifferent temperament around him that no one could enter, which was intimidating to look at.

The woman has a soft temperament and a graceful face, and although she also wears a sword, she smiles and groans. In addition, the skirt on her body swayed like water waves, and it was even more beautiful like a fairy concubine.

The appearance and temperament of the two are too good, not like characters that can be born in such villages and towns. Wherever they walked, ordinary people carrying baskets and pushing wooden carts on the side of the street subconsciously avoided it.

When the woman holding the child saw that the ignorant child was about to reach out and grab the woman's wide sleeve, she hurriedly took his hand back and scolded him in a low voice, for fear of bumping into the nobleman.

"It doesn't matter." Huo Rendong smiled and said good-naturedly.

She wasn't used to being so noticed, but Qi Ci beside her didn't seem to react at all, just looked around as if she was looking for something.

As they passed through the outside of the town, he uncharacteristically said he was going inside. Supposedly, such a small town with no characteristics, he will never stop.

Huo Rongdong lowered his voice: "Childe, is there anything strange?" ”

Qi Ci found a corner and stood with a calm look: "You'll know in a while." ”

Huo Rongdong's face was full of doubts, but after a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a hurried expression stumbling over, and he was greatly relieved to see that the two of them hadn't left.

"Immortal Master, Fairy, my home is not far from Luer Lane, if it is convenient, please come to your home to drink a cup of coarse tea, right?" The middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary farmer, took a deep look, and when he asked, his face was full of apprehension.

Huo Rongdong didn't say anything to refuse, but saw that Qi Ci, who never liked to deal with others, straightened up and took the initiative to say, "Let's go." ”

She:......?

The middle-aged man diligently led the way, respectful and a little afraid.

It's not that the mortal dynasty doesn't have cultivators walking, but the number is very small, and all of them are low-level cultivators. But those third-rate tricks of sprinkling beans into soldiers and calling for wind and rain can also fool them in front of mortals, giving them titles such as "half-immortal" and "master", and getting some gold and silver and false fame.

Some mortals who encounter strange things go to the temple to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, and they will also spend some money to seek the help of the "great immortals".

He obviously regarded Qi Ci and the others as such monks.

The two followed the middle-aged man into his house, and saw that it was a small courtyard, with people living in the east and west rooms, and many golden corn cobs were piled up in the corner.

The man and his wife were busy entertaining, first serving hot tea and then holding preserved fruit snacks.

Huo Rongdong sat down and suddenly felt a gaze.

She turned back and saw a haggard young woman at the door of the West House, hiding behind the door and secretly watching them, her face slightly pale.

According to the folk practice of asking immortals for help, the man reluctantly took out a purse full of broken silver and copper plates, but saw that Qi Ci looked indifferent and didn't even raise his eyelids, and he hesitated for a while if the money was too little.

Qi Ci spoke: "What's wrong with your family?" ”

Hearing this, the man couldn't care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "It's my daughter!" Originally, I was scheduled to get married on the tenth day of the first month of last month, but there was an accident the night before the wedding...... When I woke up again, I couldn't speak. ”

"We also asked the temple to pass through the water and ask the monks of the temple for practice, but we tried all the methods and still didn't get good, and the family affairs were delayed again and again."

Huo Rongdong glanced back at the West House again, and the place where the woman was standing was already empty.

The man's wife's eyes were still red and swollen, and she cried when she heard the words: "Pity my Yu'er for her good years, she was tortured to the point that she is not a ghost, and I want me to say that I should have moved out of this Wanshui Town in the first place, no matter what Rausch doll pro, the child's life is important......"

The two of them were gossiping, and Huo Rendong figured out the whole story.

It turns out that this Wanshui Town looks ordinary, but in fact there are some strange things.

For three years in a row, there were always two or three out of ten accidents among the brides who got married in the town, and each time it was the day before the wedding day. The dowry and wedding wine have been arranged, but the family members woke up early to find the bride unconscious, still wearing a miserable white mourning dress.

It's okay if it's just haunted, but the brides wake up with signs of weakness and some get sick. The man's daughter, Xiaoyu, was so serious that she couldn't speak for more than a month.

Once or twice, the residents of the town felt that this place was unlucky, some families with daughters moved out, and some farmers could not leave, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Afraid of bumping into unclean things, no one dares to do family affairs for a while. But seeing that her daughter was getting older and older, her parents and elders were lucky, thinking that maybe it wouldn't be their daughter who had an accident, so they turned a blind eye to the marriage.

Who would have thought......

The man burst into tears: "The villain saw that the fairy master was extraordinary, and at first glance he had great magical powers, and begged the fairy master to be kind enough to save my daughter!" ”

He pulled his wife and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but before his knees could hit the ground, a gust of wind blew the two of them up and pushed them aside with irresistible force.

Qi Ci stood up and looked at Huo Rendong: "This level is just right for you to practice." ”

The man and his wife still had shock on their faces, and Huo Rongdong also looked inexplicable: "...... I? ”

But she had just entered the first level of Qi refining, and she could only use two or three small spells.

"When I passed by outside the town, I saw something strange inside, it should be a ghost, but look at that extent, the Tao is not strong." Qi Ci turned his head, "Let's go and see your daughter first." ”

"Oh, good! Immortal Master, please—" His wife diligently led the way ahead and led them to open the door of the hut on the west side.

Huo Rendong stepped in, and saw the couple guarding one person around the head of the bed, Xiaoyu was only fifteen or sixteen years old, looking younger than her, a face was sickly pale, and he saw the living hiding behind his mother in fear.

Qi Ci glanced up and down, and motioned for her to step forward: "Come and see, look at it with your divine sense." ”

Huo Rendong hurriedly discarded distracting thoughts and gathered his heart. Divine consciousness is the release of the spiritual consciousness of an immortal cultivator, and it is a form of transcending the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and mouth to see things, and to see things that are invisible to the eyes.

She probed Xiaoyu's whole body with her divine sense, and said suspiciously: "The meridians are blocked, and the essence cannot pass through the throat, which should be the reason why you can't speak." I tried to channel the aura into her body to break through the stagnation. ”

"And ......"

Qi Ci: "What else?" ”

"Xiao Yu is still wrapped with a very light black gas, like a spider web, what is that?"

Qi Ci's face was expressionless: "Barrier poison." ”

*

They carefully investigated the strange homes that had happened in Wanshui Town in the past three years, and asked the mayor of the town, and finally discovered the truth hidden under the strange things of many brides' marriages.

The mayor of the town was an old man, he shrank his head and pointed to a dead old locust tree at the intersection in front of him: "That's it, the family surnamed Bai you are looking for." Ever since his daughter was burned to death on her wedding day, strange things have started to happen in the town. ”

"The place is here, if it's okay, the fairy master fairy, the villain will retire first. The villain is an ordinary man, but he doesn't have a fairy body......"

Qi Ci waved his hand, and the mayor turned his head and slipped away faster than anyone else.

Huo Rendong looked behind the old locust tree and saw an old mansion that had been burned by the fire and only a black skeleton remained, standing there alone like a huge dead skeleton.

As the years passed, the crevices of the bricks and tiles were overgrown with weeds, and there was no breath of living life at all.

She probed with her divine sense, and found that wisps of black gas lingered in the whole town, especially this abandoned mansion was the most dense, densely packed into the core of a spider web, like a dark cloud pressing on the top.

"Childe, how can this be like this?"

Qi Ci's good-looking brows furrowed, and with his fingers as a sword, he drew a spirit suppression array in the void, trapping this haunted mansion in prison.

"Barrier poison is not uncommon, and in the last hundred years, barrier poison pollution has spread across the continent through the cracks in the Black Domain. In the eyes of mortals, the strange thing that 'disasters from heaven and evil things harm people' is actually disturbed by the poison of obstacles. ”

"The soul of ordinary people after death is ignorant and unconscious, and will only follow the underworld outline and often enter the six realms of reincarnation, and will not harm people. But if there happens to be a crack around it, and it escapes from the barrier poison, and before death, it is humiliated, hated, and betrayed, and it will become a powerful ghost. ”

Huo Rendong looked at the wisps of black qi lingering on the ghost house, and felt shocked: "Here is the same as the old wound on the child's body?" ”

"Exactly."

Her face changed, and she made up her mind: "Childe's magic power is boundless, and he must be able to deal with this kind of powerful ghost." But the obstacle is dangerous, and if the son does it, the injury will inevitably be worse...... I'm willing to deal with the ghosts on my behalf, but my skills are meagre and I need the guidance of my son. ”

Qi Ci was a little surprised, thinking that a little girl of this age would probably cry when she heard the ghost talk.

He smiled and encouraged: "Your Sunset Sword has its own sun righteousness, specializes in overcoming ghosts and evils, and there will be no big incidents." He wanted to say that he would be watching her from behind, but he didn't say anything.

The white-haired young man stood with his hands in his hands: "For the sake of this ghost not hurting people's lives, Lei Fa will be punished, if I make a move, she won't want to be reincarnated." ”

Four words appeared in Huo Rendong's mind: ashes.

The white house burned to ruins was flanked by people, one was empty, and the other was only a blind old man sitting at the door basking in the sun.

Huo Rongdong stepped forward and asked, "Old man, do you know when the Bai family next to you happened?" ”

The blind old man chirped and nodded, "The girl is the right person." I've lived here for thirty years, and no one knows that better than I do. ”

It turned out that there was a scholar surnamed Bai in the town who opened a small private school. The husband and wife are affectionate, and they only have one daughter under their knees, named Cui'e. The daughter was born with a beautiful appearance, familiar with the four books, and is a well-known talented woman in the neighborhood.

But Cui'e was favored by the newly appointed city lord surnamed Liu in the neighboring city and wanted to marry as a continuation. The old city lord is already sixty years old, older than Mr. Bai, and has seven or eight concubines, so the Bai family naturally refuses to obey.

What followed was a drama of forcible seizure and bullying.

Lord Liu smashed the Bai family's private school, drove away many students, and spread rumors in the town to slander the innocence of his daughter's family, forcing Cui'e to marry him.

It's just that on the eve of getting married, a fire broke out in the Bai family's house, and the fire soared to the sky, burning down all three members of the family.

The blind old man slowly recalled: "I was not blind that old man, I still remember, the fire burned at night as bright as the day!" None of the three members of the Bai family escaped, and a happy event turned into a white event. O iniquity! is a good scholarly family, and it ended up with a ruined family. ”

"The fire burned for two days, and then a few boys in the town wanted to collect the bodies of the Bai family, but they couldn't find the bones, so they didn't stop......"

"After a few months, there were no more happy events in the town, and gradually strange things began to happen. People say that the Bai family Cui'e came to collect debts, and it is because of the resentment that the ghost is still lingering. ”

The old man wiped his face, and lowered his voice as if facing everyone shamelessly: "Come to think of it, it is indeed a grudge ......"
