Chapter Forty-Seven: Soul Locking

In the twilight, the red starfire broke through the white clouds and dogs, leaving a dazzling scratch on the setting sun.

Vaguely visible, there were two figures in the red light, wantonly sprinting above the sky, reversing, reversing again, more like a small roller coaster.

It flew over the town, over the lush hills, and the rushing clear water of the stream, and finally set down outside the barren mountains.

"It's here!"

Zhao Mingyue let out a breath and jumped down from the red sun with a smile.

Chen Ning failed to jump down as dashing as her, but his hands and feet were a little weak, he staggered, and crawled down with his hands and feet.

As soon as he came down, he crouched to the side, his shoulders swaying.

Zhao Mingyue looked at Chen Ning's embarrassed appearance, and instantly smiled, "How do you feel?" Isn't it interesting to be a monk and fly with an artifact? ”

"Yes, interesting......"

Chen Ning's shoulders twitched violently twice, "Lord Zhao, next time, you can, you can slow down...... Vomit! ”

This usually cold and handsome Chen Zhutou lost face in front of Lord Zhao at the moment, and retched several times in succession, as if he was complaining about the other party's dissatisfaction with the flight.

Fortunately, Chen Zhutou is a martial artist with strong self-control, but he retched and didn't really spit it out.

Otherwise, Zhao Mingyue would have laughed even happier.

She may pinch her nose and laugh, but she will definitely laugh out loud.

After a long time, Chen Ning's shoulders finally stopped twitching, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and slowly stood up.

"Do you need to rest for a while? A weak body like you is really a shame for a warrior. ”

Zhao Mingyue probably because she had been deflated since she saw Chen Ning, and finally had an opportunity to fight back, so she grabbed it.

"Thank you Lord Zhao for your concern, no need, I don't have anything to do."

Chen Ning knew that to deal with this situation, she had to not give her the slightest chance to fight back, otherwise, she would grasp this point and nag for a while.

In his previous life, he was also a person who talked about his girlfriend, and he still knew a little bit about women's careful thinking.

Zhao Mingyue suddenly felt bored, and wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose, "Then let's go, it's in front." ”

Chen Ning nodded slightly, held the horizontal knife, kept up with her pace, and walked towards Guangding Mountain.

In fact, the foot of Guangding Mountain is not so desolate, but for some reason, the surrounding flowers and plants are very lush, but there are no tall trees.

The branches and leaves of the bushes stretched out wantonly, and the red and purple berries were dotted like stars in the sky.

The two walked in the dense bushes, Chen Ning picked a few small red berries, wiped them on the placket, and handed them to Zhao Mingyue.

"This thing is called red dots, sweet and sour is delicious, when I was a child, Ma Changsi often picked it up for me, Lord Zhao tasted it?"

Zhao Mingyue didn't take the fruit, but frowned slightly and slapped the fruit off Chen Ning's hand.

"You can't eat this thing." She said in a deep voice.

Chen Ning was stunned, "You can eat it, we used to ...... it when we were young."

"You may be able to eat fruit that grows in other places, but you can't eat anything that grows here."

Zhao Mingyue said solemnly: "It's best, don't touch anything." The things around Huangyang Mountain cannot be said to be ordinary things, they are different. ”

As she spoke, her eyes were solemn and she looked at the bare, swarthy summit of Guangding Mountain.

"Understood, Lord Zhao."

Chen Ning probably knew what she meant, and threw away all the berries in her hand.

Then, both of them seemed to be much more cautious, and made their way through the bushes to a lush field of flowers and plants.

The flowers that grow here are obviously different from the surroundings, they are strange purple-black, and they exude an unpleasant smell, a bit like something stinks.

"This is it."

Zhao Mingyue's eyes were solemn, and she pointed to those purple-black flowers, "This flower is called cannibal bones, and it is a flower that grows specifically on corpses, and often grows on the pile of dead people on the battlefield. ”

After Chen Ning looked at it, he said in a deep voice: "It looks so lush, it should be all those corpses, I'll go and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and took a closer look at the surroundings of the flowers and plants.

In the middle of the flowers, there was a noticeable loss, and the soil was turned out, because the heavy rain of the previous two days had washed the pit very deep, and the bottom of the pit was still wet.

"The traces are new, and it's been a few days since the contents were dug up."

Chen Ning lowered his body and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Mingyue said: "Maybe it wasn't dug up, but the things inside were drilled out by themselves." ”

It sounds a little unbelievable, but Chen Ning did not refute it, but agreed very much.

In fact, there is no need to check here, Chen Ning can be ninety percent sure that the ghost in white is Zhou Ruyu.

It's normal for a goblin to revive and crawl out of its grave.

"Let's dig up all the bodies inside and see who they are."

Chen Ning said in a deep voice: "As long as it is determined that the corpses here are Zhou Ruyu's entourage, the identity of the white-clothed ghost can be determined to be Zhou Ruyu, and if you bring these corpses back, you can also ask the guilty Ma family." ”

Asking the guilty Ma family is the main purpose of his coming here!

As long as there is a corpse and Chun Tao's testimony, they can testify against Ma Yusheng.

Even if the Ma family has the ability to reach the sky in Qingxi Town, there is no way to rescue Ma Yusheng and bring him to justice, I believe that it is not only Chen Ning's duty, but also the wish of most of the people in Qingxi Town.

"You do it, be careful, I always feel that the smell of this place is not right."

Zhao Mingyue said in a deep voice, pinching her nose and taking two steps back.

Obviously, as a girl, she is somewhat clean, and she doesn't like to dig up corpses.

"Good!"

Chen Ning didn't have so many scruples, took out a long knife, stuck it in the soil and began to dig.

The torrential rain of the previous two days had watered the land thoroughly, and the soft soil did not have much resistance, and Chen Ning dug out a miserable white hand bone after a few knives.

"Found it!"

Chen Ning turned around, first reported the good news to Zhao Mingyue, and prepared to continue digging.

He didn't see it, and the moment he turned his head, the miserable white hand bones twitched slightly after bathing in the sunset.

Immediately after, a strange circle of purple light rippled from between the bones of the hand, bit by bit, spreading out in a ripple-like shape.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Mingyue's pupils contracted suddenly, the chain in her chest "clanged", and it was untied in an instant, and the big sword Chiyang broke through the air and went straight to Chen Ning's feet!

Snort –

Chiyang slashed at the miserable white hand bone and cut it off in an instant.

However, the hand bones seemed to be alive, struggling to get up, using five fingers together, like a weird insect, and grabbed Chen Ning's ankle.

"Ghosts?"

Chen Ning frowned slightly, but did not panic, retreated a little to avoid the attack of the hand bone, and slashed down with his knife!

The hand bone really didn't have any strength, and it was immediately scattered by the horizontal knife, and it was vulnerable.

"Come here, something isn't right!"

Zhao Mingyue stretched out her hand and held it weakly, calling for the big sword Chiyang to return to her hand, staring cautiously at the grave.

Chen Ning blocked the horizontal knife in front of him, and slowly retreated to Zhao Mingyue's side.

In this short moment, the mound had already had a vision, and the bewitching cannibal bones suddenly began to wither and wither rapidly, and the emerald green branches and leaves had withered and yellowed in the blink of an eye.

The dirt beneath it staggered, as if something was about to come out.

At first a white bone arm broke through the ground, then a second, then a third......

They peeled off the wet dirt, revealing their pale skulls, and struggled to crawl out of the dirt.

It was a corpse with only white skeletons left, some of which still had undecayed flesh and unwashed flesh, a pungent stench, and tattered clothes.

It can be vaguely recognized by the clothes that it is Zhou Ruyu's guard, servant, and maid......

Purple-black flames rose from the eyes of these white-boned ghosts, pulsing, looking a little sluggish, and looking around in confusion.

Some of the white bones will open and close their jaws, making a strange "click" sound, as if they want to say something, but they can't say it.

"What is this?"

Chen Ning's brows tightened, and the hand holding the knife tightened, "Lord Zhao, what is the best way to deal with this kind of ghost?" ”

"It's a Soul Locking Spell."

Zhao Mingyue's face was not very good-looking, and she was even a little angry, "The Soul Locking Spell is a very vicious spell, and when it is applied to the deceased, their souls cannot be reincarnated, and they can only be trapped in the corpse.

When a certain condition is triggered, the soul will condense into a ghast that manipulates the corpse, and explodes into a desire to eat human flesh and blood, becoming a ghost that can only eat people and drink blood! ”

She paused, and began to walk forward with the Chiyang Broadsword, "There is no good way, only to kill them before they hurt people!" ”

"Don't let them live in peace after death, the spellcaster is really vicious!"

Chen Ning replied coldly, waving the long knife in his hand, making a burst of sound of breaking the air, "Then we will use the knife in our hands to give them a ride!" ”

With that, he tiptoed a little, rushed in front of Zhao Mingyue, and killed the group of white bone skeletons.

"Titicaca......"

Probably sensing the danger, or the desire for flesh and blood, the group of white bones reacted, and the upper and lower jaws collided violently, surrounding Chen Ning.

The knife in Chen Ning's hand flew like a cold-colored butterfly, and wherever the cold light went, the white bones would crumble!

To be honest, the strength of this group of ghosts is really weak, compared to the ordinary Ten Martial Artists, that is, the appearance is terrifying.

In a few tosses, Chen Ning had already solved five white bones.

After those white bones were scattered, the black-purple flames in the eye sockets gradually dissipated, and the bones also turned into black dust, which dissipated with the wind.

Zhao Mingyue was even more neat, although her hands were slower than Chen Ning's, but she came to the top, and the big knife in her hand was vigorous, such as chopping melons and vegetables, and solving ten white bones.

In a matter of moments, the two of them had already dismantled most of the white bones, leaving only a black dust turned into white bones.

There were no bones in front of me, only flowers and plants, and it was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of insects.

In fact, when Chen Ning and the others arrived here, there was not a single insect or bird song nearby, and this place was quiet and scary, which was a little unusual.

"Fifteen ......"

Chen Ning glanced at it, counted both sides, and then said: "Except for Zhou Ruyu's corpse, there should be sixteen corpses in total, why is there one missing?" ”

"One missing?"

Zhao Mingyue muttered: "Impossible, Su Ziyou told me that it was sixteen bodies, and he had seen it from the well, so it could not be wrong." ”

As she spoke, she muttered words in her mouth, and a bright red light rose from her fingers, slowly wiping it over her eyes.

"If you know what you say, you can say what you deserve. Everything is in the heart, and it should be clear! ”

Zhao Mingyue's bright eyes glowed with red light, and they were as dazzling as the sun!

She looked around, her eyes fell on the side of the bushes, and she exclaimed, "It's there!" It's going to run! Don't let it run into the mountains! ”

Zhao Mingyue's words were very anxious, and Chen Ning subconsciously chased in the direction she shouted!

Although Chen Ning's speed was not slow, there was still some distance from the white bones, and he saw that the white bones were rolling and climbing, rushing out of the bushes and climbing towards the mountain body of Guangding Mountain.

Zhao Mingyue's body technique was much faster than Chen Ning's, and Chiyang roared sharply, heading straight for the white bones!

She turned into a flash of red light and swept past Chen Ning, and Chen Ning didn't even see her figure clearly.

Seeing that the Chiyang Broadsword was about to slash that white bone, it was only an inch away!

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

While!

The Chiyang Knife seemed to hit some hard object, and it made a sound of Jin Ge fighting!

In Chen Ning's stunned eyes, a golden light shone out of thin air at the foot of Guangding Mountain, shining brightly, and a huge ripple was spreading.

Where the ripples passed, rows of golden characters were reflected, like dragon chapters and phoenix seals, flying in the air, and like shoveling streams, flowing according to a certain law.

Zhao Mingyue was directly swept out by the golden light, and turned over and landed slightly embarrassed.

"How could the edge of the Great Array be here?!"

Zhao Mingyue's complexion changed suddenly, she stood up with the Chiyang Broadsword, and shouted loudly: "Chen Ning, you go and chase!" Hurry up and chase it! Don't let it go up the mountain! ”
