So the four of them stopped hurrying, stopped on the spot, and waited intently for the time of the attack of the soul imprint, and were accustomed to the full set of tables, chairs, and tea sets that Su Liang took out from the storage ring, Lin Xiao even skillfully took the teapot and poured water into the tea leaves, put them on the stove to heat up, and by the way, the pastries that Su Liang took out were neatly arranged.

Chu Ci put the storage box given by Tan Yin on the table, and after pressing it, a few strange small things with spiritual light appeared on the table, and said with some embarrassment after picking and choosing: "I don't know if these resentful spirits can be saved, it should be the same as the aura, formless and substantial, but the resentful spirits can't form spirit stones, and they can also affect objects, Chongzhi, Su Liang, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Resentful spirits are afraid of the sun, how about using sunstone to engrave a magic circle that stores the aura type?" Zhou Chongzhi thought about it and said.

"After a long time, it will dissipate directly." Su Liang poured himself a glass of water, "The weak resentful spirit will be directly crushed by the aura, and I am afraid that it will not work with the magic circle and sunstone storage." ”

"So what's the best thing to use?" Chu Ci looked at the material in front of him with a little supporting his face, a little distressed, "It's not easy to encounter a resentful spirit, if you miss it because there is no way to store it, it would be a pity." ”

"Why are you so confident?" Lin Xiao couldn't bear it a little, and exuded an aura of resistance all over his body, "That's a resentful spirit, and it's a resentful spirit who is not afraid of the sun, and has a mind that can make a soul mark, the academy has no research on the soul anymore, what if there is a case?" ”

"Don't worry." Su Liang comforted, "The divine soul can be handed over to me." ”

"Lin Xiao, haven't you always boasted that you have a sword in your hand, and you can go anywhere in the world? What's going on today? Why are you so flustered? It's not like you at all. Chu Ci looked at the past suspiciously, not quite understanding why Lin Xiao was so resistant.

"I—I'm not, I'm not worried about you, I'm naturally not afraid." Lin Xiao's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and his face was expressionless.

"Really?" Chu Ci was a little suspicious, but he didn't dwell on it too much, and continued to headache, "There is too little data, is there any clue about the inheritance of the Xuanjian Sect?" ”

Su Liang recalled carefully and shook his head, "Most of the records of the Xuanjian Sect are how to kill resentful spirits, or eliminate resentful thoughts, and reduce resentful spirits, basically there is no collection of resentful spirits, but it seems that there was once a disciple who met the so-called disciple of the Demon Sect as a disaster, and his weapon seemed to be a face spirit flag, which contained many resentful spirits, and that disciple took a lot of effort to cut it under the sword, and the spirit flag was also destroyed." ”

"Demon Sect?" Zhou Chongzhi pondered for a moment, "The Demon Sect was wiped out by several major immortal sects before the Great Immortal Gate War, it seems that their cultivation methods are too cruel, and most of them are bloodthirsty and brutal. ”

"Huh? Forget it, is there anything else? Chu Ci shook his head, shuddered, and gave up the idea of looking for the ruins of the Demon Sect in the future.

"I don't have a clue for the time being, it's better to solve the resentful spirits first, lest they trick others again, as for whether one can be captured alive, it can only depend on the situation." Zhou Chongzhi patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, "What Lin Xiao said is not unreasonable, this time I met a resentful spirit that none of us have ever seen, so it is better to be careful." ”

"Okay." Chu Ci sighed and nodded a little sadly.

"Here we are." Su Liang stood up suddenly, the petal-shaped marks on his face were bright red like blood, faintly shining, "This way." ”

The others also immediately stood up and hurriedly packed up their things, Su Liang waved his hand to take the things back to the jade ring, and followed the sense of traction in the soul imprint.

As the last rays of the sun faded into the sky, the four stood on a narrow path flanked by tall and steep peaks, branches clinging to each other, almost obscuring the sky even if there were no leaves.

Chu Ci threw the spirit coin into a lantern, and the lantern emitted a warm and bright light, slightly dispelling a little of the cold feeling around him, in front of this deep path in front of him, a thick fog like ink could not be dispersed, Chu Ci smacked his tongue, if it wasn't for Su Liang to guide the way, I am afraid that it would be difficult to find a map.

"It's a weird place." Zhou Chongzhi's eyes shone slightly, "I can't see the direction of the aura clearly." ”

"What's next? I can't see the road clearly. Chu Ci shook the lantern, "Why do I feel colder and colder?" ”

Lin Xiao stood beside him without saying a word, just clenched the sword in his hand.

Su Liang waved his hand and took out the wooden card, the wooden card staggered and floated into the air, fixed in one position, and suddenly a quick spiritual light flashed, the fog dissipated, and the path continued to extend past.

"It's a circle!" Chu Ci was a little excited when he saw this, "Such a big magic circle!" There must be someone in this place, it is impossible for the resentful spirit to use the magic circle, hum, there is indeed a problem. ”

Zhou Chongzhi frowned, if it was just a resentful spirit, it would be good to say, if it was a person who had the ability to lay down this kind of magic array, I am afraid that it would be difficult to deal with today, and then glanced at Su Liang with some worry, and saw that Su Liang's face was flat and stagnant, and then he secretly shook his head and smiled slightly, but he forgot that Su Liang was the least of the four of them to worry about.

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost." Seeing this, Lin Xiao returned to his old appearance, and said with some disdain, "Come to think of it, how can it be so coincidental that we just happened to encounter a resentful spirit, someone must have done something unsightly here." ”

"But the one at noon is indeed a resentful spirit, Chongzhi and Su Liang both confirmed it." Chu Ci immediately said dissatisfied, "You don't always believe in Chongzhi's eyes, right?" ”

Lin Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, he didn't really want to quarrel with Chu at this time.

"Shhhh Zhou Chongzhi grabbed Chu Ci and listened carefully, "It seems to be the sound of drums?" ”

While talking, the four of them finally walked out of the path, and the two sides were no longer mountain peaks and trees, but ordinary fields, and several high and low houses could be seen not far away, and the sound of drums became clearer and clearer.

A group of people happily beat gongs and drums and walked out of the village, and after bumping into a few people head-on, the middle-aged man led by him said quite enthusiastically: "You are finally here, I am the head of this village, oops, thank you for coming to us thousands of miles away." As he spoke, he enthusiastically introduced the village to Zhou Chongzhi, and the villagers behind him also smiled happily and said some words of thanks, surrounded them, and enthusiastically hugged a few people towards the village, with a few children behind them with runny noses and wide eyes looking at a few people curiously.

"Our village is called Yulong Village, it's that dragon, you know, it can fly, the divine beast, just that dragon, once injured and fell in our village, and later thanked the people in the village for helping, so I gave the dragon scales to the village chief at the time, saying that it could protect the village, but in fact, it was useless, and it didn't look good, but after all, it was a dragon scale, and it was received in the ancestral hall." The village chief was quite flattering and took a few people into the village, showing some simple shyness on his face that was a little vicissitudes, and chattered, "The harvest in the village has not been good in the past two years, and the children have not had a full meal for a long time, and I don't know where you got the news, if you want it, take it, we don't want much spirit coins, it is best to exchange them for food." ”

"In the past, the village was well developed, and it was a well-known and wealthy village nearby, and every family in the village could build a new house, and at most there were hundreds of people. Even now, you see, that house, and that land, oh yes, there is a pond here, not to mention anything else, the environment in the village is really good, it is estimated that it is because of this, the dragon only landed here at that time, don't they all say that, dragons, phoenixes, those mythical beasts are very picky. The village chief's face was quite proud, and then he was a little distressed, "But I don't know why in the past two years, suddenly the harvest is not good, and many young people have gone to the town and never come back, alas." ”

Saying that, the village chief led a few people through the village, and came to the innermost place in the village, where a quaint ancestral hall stood alone, the black wooden door creaked and opened automatically, and on the table in front of the dense spiritual seat, a heavy black dragon scale was enshrined on it, exuding a strange aura.

Su Liang didn't move, and the village chief smiled a little innocently, "What, this is a dragon scale, don't look at it badly, but this is definitely a dragon scale, and the ancestors have recorded it!" ”

Zhou Chongzhi was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Village Chief, I can't see clearly when it's far away, what color is this dragon scale?" ”

"Lang Jun, you are really joking, it's far away just a few steps, isn't it bright cyan? Back then, it was a beautiful green dragon, but the dragon scales, after so long, it was indeed a little dusty, but you can rest assured, if you decide to do it, I guarantee that you will wipe it clean! The village chief patted his chest and reassured.

The other villagers also looked at the others with hope.

Even if Chu Ci has always been very interested in the resentful spirit, at this time, looking at the eyes of dozens of black holes around him staring at him, he is also quite creepy, the surroundings are pitch black, and the light from the lantern is reflected on the surrounding villagers, reflecting a twisted and strange shadow, his face is obviously full of smiles, with dark and empty eyes, he can't help but have a sense of gloom.

Look at the village again, all the way is full of dilapidated and burned ruins, there are no plants growing on the dry soil in the rice fields, the water in the pond is turbid, floating green and faint aquatic plants, the water surface is calm and terrifying, all the way, out of the voices of the villagers, no other sound is heard, no one speaks at this time, it seems quiet and terrible, there are dozens of cold resentful spirits around, and the cold breath drills into the body one by one.

Lin Xiao has been expressionless since he saw the villagers, and his walking posture is extremely stiff, and his face is even more pale at this time.

The village chief's voice was still thick and simple, "How? Lang Jun, do you like these dragon scales? ”
