After a night of galloping, at dawn just rushed to the mountains outside Liaojia Village, the early morning mountain fog was filled, a white expanse, and because Liaojia Village was young people walking all year round, the only path into the village was already overgrown with weeds.

Fortunately, there has been little rain in recent days, and not long ago, a traveling merchant happened to enter the village, and finally found the hidden road by relying on the horseshoe prints on the ground and the horse manure that had long been dried.

Leading the horse to walk in the weedy path in the white mist, because the white fog is difficult to distinguish the way ahead, often walking, there is a snake like a vine in front of the road, and the horse will also be tripped and neighed by the dead trees that fall on the ground.

Along the way, Dusk exuded spiritual power to observe the surroundings, while Shen Xishen released his spiritual sense to look for traces of the black soul, and Ayu flew around, busy calming the horse's emotions, and he couldn't run away anymore after buying a lot of money.

The short road into the village was extremely slow, and by the time we reached the entrance of the village, the fog had almost dispersed.

Although Liaojia Village is surrounded by mountains, the central area is flat, and as the main group of the village's name, terraced rice fields are built around the village, and natural mountain spring water is used for irrigation and daily life.

The villagers who sit on the mountains and eat the mountains, every family is a good hunter, although they are not very connected with the outside world, but they live a very comfortable life of self-sufficiency.

"Until now, I haven't found any trace of the black soul, and I still have to go into the village to look for details." Shen Xishen knew that the black soul was used to hiding.

"However, this place is densely forested, and it is a good place with abundant natural aura, if you don't come to find the black soul this time, it is comfortable to practice here for ten days and a half months, but without the black soul, you can't find this place."

After the two of them shared this useless information, it was more practical to settle down in the advanced village.

Could such an ordinary, secluded village really have anything to do with the tragedy in the once rich and famous imperial city?

The sky has been bright, now the autumn harvest has ended, the open space in the village is golden, the villagers are busy threshing and drying millet, seeing Shen Xi Shen and their faces suddenly appear in the village, and they are not dressed as ordinary traveling merchants, so they can't help but talk to each other.

"Grandma, may I ask where Liaojia Village is convenient for us to stay overnight."

Ayu was still curious about what the villagers were talking about, and the twilight here had already raised a kind smile and asked the old woman passing by.

Grandma wanted to answer enthusiastically, but suddenly a big man appeared in front of Grandma, "Auntie, don't talk to these people from other villages, go back quickly, don't go out these days." ”

After persuading Grandma back, the big man turned around and looked at them with a fierce expression, "Where are you all from, what are you all doing in our Liaojia Village, do you still think our village is not chaotic enough?" ”

"Big brother, I misunderstood, we are cultivators, passing by here, I feel that this place is full of spiritual energy, and I want to cultivate here, there is no other meaning, but I just listened to the tone of the eldest brother, has anyone else come to the village recently? If they come to do evil, we are willing to help. ”

Twilight still has that kind expression, and the more calm his attitude is, the more it proves that what he said is true.

Since the twilight is willing to come forward to adjust, Shen Xi is happy to be at ease.

The big man looked at the near dusk, and then at Shen Xishen.

"Shen Xishen, don't be so serious, take it easy!" Ayu looked at his expressionless scourge face now, which didn't look like a suit, and couldn't help but remind.

Shen Xi bent the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a smiling face to show his big white teeth, and met the big man's gaze.

"So?"

"Yes, yes, that's all."

The big man looked at it for a while, and then said in disbelief: "If you are really cultivators, go and find out what that strange person is doing in our village." ”

"Strange people?"

"Yes, yes, the village he entered the day before yesterday, as soon as he came and pulled someone, he asked about the east and west, and we asked him where he came from, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't leave." Nearby villagers also approached and began to discuss.

"The strangest thing is that he meditates there during the day and only comes out in the evening, and on such a dark day, he wanders around the village by himself, so he can't be afraid."

"Not really."

A freak who is nocturnal? After glancing at Shen Xishen, Twilight continued to smile and kindly guide the villagers to describe.

"Do you know what he looks like, and where is he now?"

"He's about the same height as you, and he's dressed in black, but he's wearing a big tall hat, and he's eye-catching, and he should be in the temple on our hill right now."

"The mountain temple is in the north mountain, and you can see the mountain road through the village, just follow the road."

"Thank you, please rest assured, we will go to investigate and investigate now, and we will never let him hurt Liaojia Village!"

The crowd applauded in unison under the impassioned promise of the near twilight.

The two of them made a move, said goodbye to the villagers for a while, and disappeared in front of the villagers with the technique of teleportation.

The two big were definitely deliberately shown, the moment she cast the spell, she saw the reverence in everyone's eyes, and relied on means to gain trust, Ayu expressed disdain for this move, very disdainful!

"What do you think about that weirdo in black?" It is rare for Shen Xi to ask questions at dusk.

"There are no ideas, the good can be kept, and the evil can be eliminated...... Who knows, I'll know when I see it. Twilight didn't seem to think so, he wasn't curious about the stranger's identity, he was curious about what the stranger had heard these days, and sometimes it was good to get something for nothing.

"Indeed, it seems that Liaojia Village is not only interested in us."

Walk along the stone steps of the mountain, you will arrive at the mountain temple in the mouth of the villagers, say that it is a temple, in fact, it is a half-open shack, the center of the house is the statue of the mountain god, the tribute in front of the statue has long been eaten by the animals, only the blackened skeleton remains remain, it can be seen that this mountain temple will only come once a year to worship, and there is no aura in the house.

And the strange man in the mouth of the villagers was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the house, in a place where the sun had not been reached.

With a brisk step, Shen Xishen's peachwood sword was already against the young man's throat, and a fierce aura permeated the shed.

Motionless? Shen Xi frowned.

Twilight stepped forward and shook the boy's upper body, but there was still no reaction, and even his expression did not change, and then his fingers slowly probed under his nose, but there was no breath, no pulse in his neck, and no normal human body temperature, this is not a strange person, this is obviously a dead person.

Shen Xi Shen withdrew his aura, but the sword was not collected, Jindui stood up and looked at the mountain temple carefully, Ayu also stared at the young man's face curiously, sixteen or seventeen years old, black hair and shawl, pale but delicate skin, slender eyes, and a bright red mole at the end of the eye, as if a drop of blood and tears were about to fall, if it weren't for the fact that there was not even a trace of breath, Ayu felt that he was just sleeping.

And those who sleep will always wake up.

"Ahh......h

Standing on the offering table, Twilight broke the mountain god's wooden axe and looked back at Ayu.

Shen Xishen's spiritual power instantly wrapped around the sword body, pressing his neck, and with a single force, he wanted to separate people's heads.

The young man who was originally sitting cross-legged also opened his frightened eyes at this moment, his body was tilted back, and his hands were pressed against the blade of the sword, so that he did not let himself 'die again'.

When Ayu returned to her soul, she suddenly realized two things, the young man in front of her came back from the dead, and she was exposed again.

"Less... Man... Cold... Quiet!! ”

The young man let out a shuddering voice and tried to push the blade away, but the blade of the sword did not move, but the palm of his hand was cut, but no blood was seen flowing out.

"Who are you? Why come to Liaojia Village? Shen Xi let out a deep voice.

"What is your relationship with the Black Soul?" Twilight also added closely.

"My name is Fan Thirty-three, I am a ghost, I came here to handle the case, the Taoist chief has something to say, I don't have any malicious intentions!" The young man had a slumped face, and he spoke very quickly, and he already knew his identity when he saw the two of them dressed, and he didn't hide it.

"How do I prove your identity?" Since Ayu has been exposed, she feels very embarrassed to be scared by the teenager, and she also joins the trial.

"I have a Difu spirit card on my waist, and the Taoist elders can see it at a glance, this cannot be faked." As he spoke, he pointed his finger to his waist.

Near dusk, he tore off the black sign, and only then did he see that the front of the sign was engraved with Yin Cao, and the reverse side was engraved with thirty-three.

After confirming that it was correct, Shen Xi Shen put away his sword.

And the young man who called himself Fan Thirty-three grabbed the mud on the ground, mixed it with spiritual power and rubbed it on his neck and palms, and in a blink of an eye, the injury was smoothed out and restored to the appearance of normal skin. ”

"Child, since I let you go, I still have to make it clear, what kind of case did you send to Liaojia Village to do, and what is going on with your body." Twilight asked, crouching down in front of the boy

"Dao Chief, my body is expensive, we are ghosts, and we come to the world to detain the soul, so they are all soul bodies, and ordinary people can't see them, but this time I have a heavy responsibility, so I borrowed this clay sculpture fake body from the eighth master, as you can see, this fake body can be shaped according to the soul body as long as it has spiritual power, except that there is no temperature, no breathing and heartbeat, it is no different from a real person. In our underworld, this grade of fake body is also our eighth master and Xie Qiye, just now this white-clothed Taoist almost ruined my mud body, but let the eighth master know, I, Fan Thirty-three, don't go back to the underworld, it is easy to disperse the soul directly on the spot. As he spoke, Fan Thirty-three rubbed his palms distressedly.

And the white-clothed Taoist chief Shen Xi in his mouth looked impatient: "A bunch of nonsense, and then nonsense, I will definitely let you have no return, and definitely save you the trouble of the prefecture." ”

"Who is the eighth master!! There is such a good baby, is it also from the underworld? If only I could have a body. "Ayu saw the ghost for the first time, the immortal underground, shaking the jade spike a little excited.

"Eighth master! That is a well-known figure in the underworld, presumably the two Taoist masters must also know that he is the black impermanence in the black and white impermanence of the underworld, fan, none, blame! And I am the thirty-third ghost under the eighth master, Fan thirty-three! Thirty-three felt the favorable object against his neck again, and when he looked up, Shen Xishen's eyes were full of fire.

"Talk about it, talk about it!!"

"Dao Ye, I came to Liaojia Village this time because there was an unsolved case in the underworld, alas, in fact, there was nothing to do with me, this is not handed over to the judge by Lord Hades, and the judge was assigned to our eighth master, and the eighth master was originally handed over to Brother Fan Twelve, but Brother Twelfth had something to do and handed it over to Brother Twentie, but Brother Twentieth also has a big matter, so what should I do, I can only hand it over to Brother Twenty-five, but unfortunately, Twenty-five ......"

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......" Looking at Shen Xishen's darkening face, Jin Du couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but remind this kid loudly.

"Oh...... In the end, it was handed over to me, what kind of unsolved case is it, it is also very simple, that is, a group of people died, one of the corpses of the ghost almost did not hold the soul, and after coming back to report, it was a check, it was terrible, these people had not finished their life, and what was even more strange was that the life of the missing soul was suddenly broken half a year ago, and it was blank until it died, Lord Hades ordered a thorough investigation, and I came, this missing soul is the son of the head of Liaojia Village, Liao Jiafu, that's all, I'm done. ”

After thirty-three finished speaking, he covered his mouth, and Yu Guang glanced at Shen Xishen, glad that he had been in the underworld for a long time, and he had grown his eyesight to see it, otherwise...... Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it

Shen Xishen and Jindui looked at the child in front of them and had a headache, the identity of this black soul has just been confirmed to be Tong Er, and this is another case of missing souls, this strange thing has come together, if you want to say that there is no connection, they don't believe it, it is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave of monstrous waves.

"Kid, we came to Liaojia Village to look for people, why don't you share the clues you got in the past few days." Twilight smiled.

"Yes, I've been in the village for two days, and the people in the village are so strange, they all avoid me, obviously I'm so handsome, but I still found out some news, but I don't know if it's useful......"

Thirty-three said as if he suddenly thought of something, and slumped to the ground, "It's over, I forgot that Brother Thirty-one told me not to tell anyone about my case, I leaked the secret, Brother Thirty-one, Brother Twenty-five,...... Eighth Master, Lord Judge, if Lord Hades knows...... Forget it, I'd better scatter my soul on the spot, my most beloved eighth master, the little one can no longer serve him, and the little one should let your clay sculpture fake body be chopped to pieces, and you can't divulge the secrets of the underworld, the little one woo woo woo ......."

Suddenly, the thirty-three who were crying sat up on their knees, bowed to the person in front of him, and pleaded: "The two Taoist masters still save the little one, don't tell this matter, and when you find the soul, the little one must thank the two Taoist masters." ”

Ayu was a little confused by the twists and turns of this little ghost's thinking, but if she wasn't stupid, it was obviously Shen Xishen who asked for him, but now, Thirty-three has become a favor that he owes Shen Xishen, and the top doesn't let him say that it shouldn't be because of confidentiality, but more because he doesn't want to expose this layer of assignment, alas, this unsolved case can be his turn, it may have been a long time ago.

"Help each other, we will help you find the soul, we should not know the rest, and you will also help us find the ghost, how about it?" Shen Xishen was also impressed by Thirty-Three's thinking, reflecting that he shouldn't be more serious with such a simple person, and his tone was no longer so blunt.

Twilight just laughed and nodded in agreement.

Hearing the answer, Thirty-three seemed to have a new life, "Woo woo, thank you Daoye, but I don't know the two of you, Miss Yu Pei, what to call the little one." ”

"Shen Xi Shen"

"You can just call me near twilight"

"My name is Ayu, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Thirty-Three."
