Meng Zhou, who heard this, immediately fell into great surprise.

I couldn't help but think about it, and the memory of the blood spell book involuntarily came to mind.

"Could it be that the blood spell book was really stuffed to me by this Tan Kaiming?"

"I've always treated him as a pawn, could it be that I'm wrong, but he's actually the one behind the scenes?"

"He approached me twice and three times with his made up reasons, and I have always been confused by the reasons he made up, what Mei Xianglou, what Qian Niang, in fact, they are all pretenses, he just wants to trick me out of the miscellaneous courtyard?"

“……”

All kinds of thoughts appeared in Meng Zhou's heart, and he was completely involuntary.

But he is not a party after all, looking at Zhou Qiang's matter, he always has the alienation and detachment of a third party, and this kind of self-cognitive crack made him finally wake up in time.

A cool, slippery sensation came from the top of his head and went deep into his cerebral cortex.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw that Tan Kaiming's eyes were getting more and more weird, the whites of his eyes were getting more and more, and the pupils were almost invisible. His crooked body was trembling slightly, and a little saliva was oozing with blood foam from the corners of his mouth.

With this zombie-like appearance, it's hard to believe that he's still a living person who acts completely autonomously.

Meng Zhou suddenly realized that since Tan Kaiming appeared, he had fallen into a trap.

And as he suddenly shouted the phrase "return my blood spell book", his mind was stirred, and it was as if a snake of nothingness took advantage of the void and drilled deep into his brain by sticking to the door of his head.

At this moment, how could he still care about Tan Kaiming's situation, and all his energy was concentrated on the depths of his mind where the slippery touch was invading.

With each improvement in cultivation, Meng Zhou could feel that the spirit of nothingness was also condensing little by little, and when his cultivation broke through from the third layer of Qi cultivation to the fourth layer of Qi training, this feeling was especially strong.

But he always lacked a sense of reality, and at this moment, the imminent threat of life and death and the unprecedented extreme concentration in his heart at this life and death juncture made him suddenly enter a strange state.

He saw himself in his soul state again, more condensed than when he encountered the god who forced people to make a wish.

And right in front of him in his soul state, two masses of things were suspended like ruins made of debris.

As he gazed at these two things, a wave of realization naturally rose in his heart.

They are the memories he received from Zhou Qiang and Xia Qing.

Among them, it is not only the memory, but also the remnants of the souls of the two.

In such a state, Meng Zhou finally saw the source of the huge threat to him.

A small black snake was approaching his soul little by little.

However, as he looked more closely, he found that it was more like a headless and mouthless earthworm than a snake, except that from time to time something like a snake letter spat out from one end towards him, and approached him little by little.

In this state, the range of movement of Meng Zhou's soul was already very limited, and if he dodged it several times, the strange thing with no head and no eyes would find his exact location.

Meng Zhou was sure that he must not let this strange thing approach him, once he was approached by it, he would be finished.

In such a desperate situation, he had no time to be nervous, and his thoughts were running fast.

"It must have sensed the exact location of my soul through that snake-like thing!"

Tan Kaiming's sudden roar before must have its special intentions.

He didn't really want to get the blood spell book back, and I was in a bad state at the time, and my mind seemed to be out of control.

…… I understand!

That sentence was an introduction, and he wanted to induce me to recall and think.

Dogs can track through scent, and this trick that can invade the soul may be the precise soul locking of the memories of certain things through the mind. ”

Thinking about this, seeing the two fragments and ruins next to him, Meng Zhou suddenly had a solution in his heart that was not a solution.

"Leave him alone, use a dead horse as a live horse doctor!"

He ran to the ruins of memories that belonged to Zhou Qiang, reached into it, and stirred it up like a child playing in water.

On the other hand, he tried his best to suppress the relevant memories from Zhou Qiang in his heart and sealed them tightly.

"I'm Meng Zhou, what stories you have between you have nothing to do with me, I don't know anything.

The person you are looking for is called Zhou Qiang, he did everything, and I, Meng Zhou, am an innocent passerby! ”

"Go find Zhou Qiang, don't look for me!"

"It's all done by Zhou Qiang, and it has nothing to do with me!"

“……”

Meng Zhou was brainwashed by autosuggestion over and over again, because all this is not lying, and there is no doubt about the authenticity.

He himself felt that this encounter was really innocent, and he was affected by Zhou Qiang's bastard.

Then, a scene that surprised Meng Zhou happened.

The spitting creature, which had been approaching his soul, paused for a moment, and then moved again.

And this time, its target is no longer Meng Zhou, but the ruins of memories that belong to Zhou Qiang.

In a few moments, it approached the ruins of memory.

At the moment of contact between the two, Meng Zhou was surprised to find that the black figure that moved flexibly like a snake instantly turned into a cloud of black liquid, covering the ruins of memory belonging to Zhou Qiang.

Then, a scene that shocked Meng Zhou's heart happened, and the ruins of those memories were rapidly dissolving.

It's like a scoop of hot oil poured on top of a cloud of ice and snow.

Meng Zhou had already withdrawn and looked at this scene in amazement.

It is conceivable that if his soul were covered with such black liquid, he would not only die crisply, but also die cleanly, and there would be no memory residue left.

For today's bizarre crisis, he finally has some understanding.

"The existence behind the scenes is not only to kill Zhou Qiang, but also to completely erase him."

"With the methods of Qingxuanzong, if a miscellaneous servant dies mysteriously in the miscellaneous courtyard, it is normal to use the means of memory soul search to find clues.

And the other party's move is to ensure that Zhou Qiang, an out-of-control factor, dies physically, and at the same time, all clues are cut off from the soul level. ”

Seeing Zhou Qiang's memories that had only accumulated after fifty-one years of life were quickly dissolved into invisible, Meng Zhou's heart felt a chill.

And as the ruins of memories belonging to Zhou Qiang were dissolved, the black liquid turned by the strange thing had disappeared to nothing.

Just when Meng Zhou thought that nothing would be left there, he saw a little glittering void light.

Meng Zhou approached and took a closer look, it looked like a shard of glass, and it looked like the residue of cremation.

"The unfinished residue of the remains is called ashes or relics, but what is the residue of the soul called?"

pondered these thoughts in his heart, and as Meng Zhou scrutinized them carefully, some enlightenment also rose from the bottom of his heart.

Although this fragment is independent of his own soul, this space itself is because of his soul, and he is the master of this place.

As Meng Zhou's thoughts changed, the fragment quickly became smooth and round, like a crystal crystal that was crystal clear, and then it was hollowed out in the center as if it had been pinched into mud, turning into a ring and wearing it on his hand.

The next moment, Meng Zhou's body shook and he saw the real world again.

The grove was breezy and breezy, and Tan Kaiming, who was originally standing on the opposite side, was lying on the ground outside, his eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the white foam mixed with blood foam, and he was clearly dead.

In such a scene, Meng Zhou only felt that the wind was in the bones.

His mind was a mess, but one thing was clear, this place was not a good place to stay long.

The only thing that made him happy was that when choosing the location, Tan Kaiming did not choose a place where people often came and went, but chose this secluded grove, and he was more reluctant than Meng Zhou to be disturbed and interrupted by unrelated people.

Meng Zhou looked left and right, then put the dead Tan Kaiming into his bag, carefully removed some suspicious traces, and then went straight back to his small courtyard without stopping for a moment.

returned home safely, but Meng Zhou's hanging heart did not relax.

After handing over the dusty bag to Chen Cong, he immediately closed the door, and it is not surprising that he has behaved like this all these days.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, and the mana of the Dead Wood Changchun Gong was already working in his body.

These days, although he has devoted his main energy to making talismans, he has been cultivating every day.

Compared to when the cleaning charm was first introduced, there was a lot of improvement.

It was only a matter of the past two days since he broke through to the fifth layer of Qi training, but now he had made up his mind to break through this barrier in one go.

The improvement in strength brought by this breakthrough is secondary, and more importantly, at that time, he could barely act as "Xia Qing".

Today's incident sounded the alarm bell for him, and the crisis that already existed could not be completely avoided by hiding in the courtyard as a turtle with a shrunken head.

Moreover, with the fermentation of time, Tan Kaiming's disappearance will also become a hidden danger.

Although the miscellaneous courtyard does not restrict the entry and exit of the miscellaneous servants, the entry and exit information is automatically recorded by the formation.

Now he only has a record of entering and not leaving, which indicates that the other person is in the miscellaneous courtyard.

But now he is gone, and there is no one alive or dead.

It doesn't matter if it's a day or two, after a long time, someone will inevitably track it down, and it will be a hidden danger to remain in his bag at that time.

Only the true Xia Qing has the ability to quietly eliminate this hidden danger.

So, we can't wait any longer, it's time to let Xia Qing leave.

At the end of a round of cultivation, Meng Zhou checked the panel information while drinking spiritual tea and recovering his state.

……

[Real name: Meng Zhou]

[Title: Zhou Qiang (wearable)]

[Realm: Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer: 96/100]

[Exercise: Dead Wood Changchun Achievement: 63/100]

【Divine Power: Life and Death Together】

【Skills:

Xiaoyun and Rain Technique: 24/100, Yunzhi Technique: 47/100, Golden Mangshu Achievement: 1/100

【Status:Sub-health】

……

The realm was in line with expectations, and it was one step closer to the breakthrough, which did not make Meng Zhou pay too much attention, and what attracted most of his attention was the new wearable [title].

This is the harvest of his picking up the remnants of Zhou Qiang's soul, and its effect is that when he wears the title of [Zhou Qiang], in the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Qiang is the original from body to soul, and before he takes off this title, no one can find out that there is a mismatch between him Meng Zhou and this body.

To put it more simply, he was given a special mask at the soul level.

Meng Zhou tried it out, but he didn't feel anything unusual, so he decided to wear this title in this body in the future.

He couldn't help but look in the direction of the wardrobe and thought to himself, this body needs such a title even more.

True Legend Xia Qing's contact surface far exceeds that of the miscellaneous Zhou Qiang, and without a soul mask, it is impossible for him to be down-to-earth.
