...............

Elder Wuxiang's rough fingers put away the medicine box, he lowered his eyes and patted the water droplets on his clothes, and stepped into the door.

The smell of medicine was very faint and faint, it came from Pei Yizheng's body, and the Wuxiang elder only sniffed it with his nose slightly, and found something unusual, and looked at Pei Yizheng's gaze with a few more deep meanings.

In the small window to the south, the moonlight shone in through the snow-white window paper, and the shadows were abundant, and the fine dust floated in the air, like shining points of light swimming in the water.

Pei Yizheng flicked his sleeves as if nothing happened, "Elder Lao is still worried about Pei's illness at such a late hour. ”

Seeing Pei Yizheng's vigorous gold pasting on his face, the Wuxiang elder didn't explain anything, and snorted.

Although Pei Yizheng was an excuse for Elder Wuxiang not wanting to get involved in these things, Elder Wuxiang really took a fancy to him in his heart, after all, he had seen a lot of people of all kinds, and when he saw a person with such a tough heart as Pei Yizheng again, he still felt a little rare. If...... can keep Pei Yizheng as his long-term medicine jar, then his heart will be even happier.

The Wuxiang elder gathered his position, stood next to Pei Yizheng, raised his hand and pasted a paper note on Pei Yizheng's head, and began to recite the scriptures in his mouth, and the row of silver needles hidden from his sleeve was directly fixed on Pei Yizheng's hand.

Elder Wuxiang's half-dozing eyes narrowed slightly, seeing that Pei Yizheng didn't have any reaction now, not even a drop of sweat, he stared at Pei Yizheng for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

Wuxiang Changxiang frowned, and solemnly lifted Pei Yizheng's sleeve, and when he opened it, he saw that the skin that was good yesterday was slowly oozing blood again. The pupils of the township chief shrank for a moment, looked at Pei Yizheng quietly, a few deep thoughts flashed in his eyes, he smiled suddenly, and reached out to check the pulse.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yizheng's meridians were chaotic, and the things inside were still chaotic, and he was not a normal person at all. Elder Wuxiang pondered for a while, as if he didn't believe in evil, he poked out from Pei Yizheng's cuffs, ripped Pei Yizheng's clothes, and after a little look, he was still criss-crossed and covered in bruises.

The atmosphere was eased a little, and it was like yesterday's spring breeze in an instant. Elder Wuxiang still didn't seem to think it was incredible, his pupils shrank sharply, and he was terrified for a while.

Elder Wuxiang stood there, almost in a posture of questioning, looking at Pei Yizheng coldly.

Wuxiang Changxiang's face was chaotic, and he took the sword directly to Pei Yizheng's neck and shoulder, the tip of the sword was glowing with a cold chill, blending with the moonlight outside, Wuxiang Changxiang's face was calm, but his eyes were uniquely clear.

The sword of the Elder of the No Country is the natal sword, and it follows him like the shadow of the Elder of the No Country, and it is invisible.

The blood slowly flowed from Pei Yizheng's neck to the collar, and gradually flowed all the way, and the sword drank the blood, which looked even more bewitching and weird.

There was no emotion in the eyes of the Elder Wuxiang, he looked at it coldly, and even he had the illusion that Pei Yizheng's head was cut off at this time, as if it would still grow out, and the dug meat could grow intact, so why couldn't he cut off his head?

Pei Yizheng had no expression on his face.

Pei Yizheng didn't expect that Elder Wuxiang suddenly slashed at him with a knife, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't dodge.

As if just to confirm his thoughts, Elder Wuxiang turned the tip of his sword violently, and suddenly, Pei Yizheng's injured fingertip was separated from the whole hand, and fell to the ground, bleeding from the ground, which made people tremble to watch.

The black shadow that had been hidden in Pei Yizheng's sleeve moved, and he couldn't help but protect himself in front of Pei Yizheng, Pei Yizheng's eyes were cold, and he raised his eyebrows, and the black shadow shrank back, not daring to act rashly, but after all, this landless elder injured his own body, and the black shadow was not angry in his heart, and that trace of demonic energy almost leaked out uncontrollably.

This body was already like a rag, and it finally made a little progress, but it fell short. I didn't expect Elder Wuxiang to come so coincidentally tonight, and in a few days, the black shadow would be able to transfer the demonic qi on his body to Pei Yizheng, get a new life, and share the same body with him Pei Yizheng. But it's really a thousand calculations, but it can't be counted as this unexpected situation, this one in case......

"It's too weird!" "Elder Wuxiang muttered to himself, this is the territory of the Ren family, and the township chief is unscrupulous, but he is not afraid of Pei Yizheng's backlash.

During this period of time, it was suddenly stretched infinitely, and in the extreme tension, the Wuxiang Elder looked at Pei Yizheng's fingertips that were still bleeding, and said coolly, "I underestimated you, and said, Who are you?" ”

Seeing that Pei Yizheng didn't react, a sense of gloom arose in his heart, so he directly cut off Pei Yizheng's entire arm at the other end.

Pei Yizheng was stunned, lowered his eyebrows, glanced at his limb separation arm, and the next moment, he laughed coldly.

It's useless.

There is no township and the township is doing useless work.

Without a hand, as long as the aura of this heaven and earth does not dissipate, it will not take much time for them to grow again.

And Pei Yizheng's body has been injured, but it has never healed.

Facing the two people facing each other, the smile in Pei Yizheng's eyes became deeper and deeper, but his voice contained a cold rain like a bleak cold. "Isn't the elder well-informed? ”

Elder Wuxiang is naturally not a person who has a false relationship with Pei Yizheng.

The head of the sect said that he had been injured back then, but he was not healed until now, he was devoured by the demonic energy, and now he has to suffer from the backlash of the demonic qi day and night. Elder Wuxiang looked at Pei Yizheng's injury more like a native demon, the demon relied on raw food to recover himself, Elder Wuxiang, the most hated thing in his life is the demon, at this time, take a look at Pei Yizheng, as if he wants to pollute his eyes, don't overdo it.

As soon as he held the Buddha, he pinched out a pattern and slapped it on the wall at once.

Elder Wuxiang issued an order at such a time, which immediately alarmed several elders of the Ren family.

Hearing the news, everyone rushed up, and the Falling Moon House suddenly seemed crowded, but after everyone stepped into the door, they didn't know what happened, everyone saw the scene in front of them, their pupils shrank, and they were a little frightened, and they looked at it in horror, blindfolded several times, and even pushed it, and didn't dare to step forward.

The blood of Pei Yizheng's broken arm was splashed all around, and the heavy fishy smell lingered.

Seeing that Pei Yizheng was motionless like a dead man, everyone looked at him for a long time, and then they rushed up and subdued Pei Yizheng.

Elder Wuxiang stood aside, holding the arm with muscles and bones, and showed a strange smile on his face, and suddenly he didn't know what he remembered, but he actually sniffed it as if he was enjoying it.

Everyone looked at this scene, and their scalps were a little numb.

Pei Yizheng glanced up lightly, making everyone's hands in front of him tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't until Pei Yizheng was tightly restrained by the soul lock that he was pressed down, so that everyone finally stepped on the ground from the boundless mid-air.

Elder Ignorance was one of the first big people to come, he hesitated for a moment before pushing open the door, brushing over the branches, clothing the remnants of clothes, behind the door, these two heavens and earths, which had long been foreseen in front of him, sat calmly on the side.

...............

After a few children of the Ren family went back, they inevitably had palpitations, although this matter could not be leaked, but everyone was a person who knew the roots, and it was inevitable to discuss it when they got together.

- You said it was fine the other day, why did you ......

- Yes, I heard that a few days ago, in order to find precious materials for Pei Yizheng's healing, the elders of Wuxiang also went to the Song family to make a trip.

- Maybe it's really weird.

- But I've been here for days, and I haven't seen anything unusual about him.

- Can you still find out about other people's eccentricities?

- Did he do what you said was the latest thing in the past few days?

- But I don't think he has that ability.

- Yes, it was indeed quite badly injured, and even when the elder took a look, he only said that he was not saved.

- Could it be because of this......... So it was on the road of no return.

- Is it really going to put him in a water prison?

- I heard that there are many snakes there, and they use people as fodder.

- No, it can't be true, I've just heard.

I heard that spirit beasts will breathe fire when they are uncontrolled, and if they are touched by spirit beasts, they will not turn to ashes.

- This ......

- But when Pei Yizheng left, thinking about it still makes me feel a little palpitating.

- I ...... too

...............

In the unfathomable heights of the night, darkness unfurls inky velvet that obscures the horizon, and countless stars are radiating bright light, glittering with phosphorus brilliance, weaving into beautiful patterns.

In the blurred place where the earth meets the sky, the silvery moonlight shines on the ground, and only the sound of the wind can be heard blowing in the ears, and the night weaves a soft net that envelops all the scenery.

All the eyes touch is covered with this soft net, not a single grass or tree, it is not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have a vague, empty color, each of which hides its subtleties, and keeps its secrets, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

In the second half of the night, the leader of the Ren family supported his eyelids, adjusted another pair of people and horses, and said quietly. "There are no ordinary people in Changxiang Township who come out at night, they are all their own people. ”

One of them complained in a low voice: "It's been several days, and I haven't seen anyone at night, but something happened again during the day, but how to patrol during the day, it's nothing, it's really embarrassing!"

Someone opened his mouth to answer, but seeing that the leader did not speak, the rest of the people were careful not to talk about it. "It's been five days, and there's still nothing to be found, I'm afraid there's something we can't find." ”

Hall Master Ren, who was mixed in the crowd, smiled. "Isn't there any clue?" he crouched down to himself, rubbing his fingers against the exposed stone steps, lowering his voice. "You smell something different in the air. ”

The head of the Ren family looked up and looked at the ordinary face, and the hall master Ren did not tell him the specific identity, but he looked at the bearing of the hall master Ren, and guessed that the head of the hall master was very big, and when he saw that the hall master opened his mouth, he not only did not squeak to stop it, but let them speak with encouraging eyes.

Someone has been patrolling here for several days, and he really tilted his head, thought for a long time, and asked. "The smell of the earth. ”

The other yawned quietly in the wind, and just covered his mouth, when suddenly his nose moved, and he immediately answered. "It looks like it came from somewhere. ”

Hall Master Ren smiled, "It's okay, it's useless for us to be in a hurry, it will be dawn in a few hours, and there won't be so many people, just disperse some and go back to rest." ”

Everyone thought like this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, and when they saw him say it, everyone looked at Hall Master Ren in a depressed manner, and they couldn't see it, and they felt that Hall Master Ren seemed to feel that this face was a little unfamiliar.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all moved farther away from the hall master. There are quirks.

Hall Master Ren was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect them to behave like this, but after thinking about it, he figured it out, could it be that he suspected that he was a ghost mixed with them?

Hall Master Ren couldn't cry or laugh for a while, if he was really a ghost, it would be better to pinch them to death than to pinch an ant to death, this kind of thought came to mind, and Hall Master Ren couldn't help frowning and was stunned for a moment.

Yes. If there really are demons, why not take action against them?

The hall master rolled up his sleeves, and the figure in the green cloth disappeared into the darkness, and for a while, the entire sky seemed to be quiet.

Hall Master Ren figured this out, so he shook off everyone and walked alone at the end of the deep path with his hands behind his back.

"Bang bang. ”

He seemed to be the only one on the whole road, and only his own shadow could be seen, and the smell in the air was getting closer and closer to him.

After walking for a long time, the hall master stood firmly in front of a courtyard.

It seems to be an ordinary yard.

However, the smell here is the strongest, and the smell of those flowers mixed together makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and the first few times I walked here, I couldn't help but want to avoid it.

.........

Night. The wind was blowing.

Someone is holding a pale yellow oil-paper umbrella, his long hair is scattered, like a person but not a ghost, and the long placket is fluttering with the wind, and the wind pours into the cuffs to look a little empty.

It's the crisp sound of feet stepping on jagged bluestone slabs.

In front of him stood a figure, his figure elongated by the moonlight.

As soon as the hall master was stunned, the hands behind his back began to prepare, showing a tense state.

"Uncle. A voice sighed leisurely, as if in the ears and in the sky, and it was always not very clear.

The figure finally walked towards Hall Master Ren step by step, and the faintly burning face that could not be seen clearly also followed his footsteps, as if in the fog, the familiar face of Hall Master Ren couldn't help but be startled. "Ren Yuanyi?"

Hall Master Ren was furious, and looked Ren Yuanyi up and down in shock, as if he was thinking about whether this person was a human or a ghost.

Is it a human or a ghost, a fantasy or a dream that appears here at such a time, Ren Tang took the initiative to look at him and asked. "Why did you come to me?"

According to the arrangement of the master, the three teams of people investigated in pieces, and the investigation was good, why did Ren Yuanyi suddenly come here.

"I'm human. As if he had already guessed Hall Master Ren's thoughts, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently.

Hall Master Ren still didn't relax his vigilance, raised his hand worriedly, and put it on Ren Yuanyi's forehead, "Warm, alive?"

Ren Yuanyi smiled, "Uncle Master said that there are already clues, send me to find you." ”

Hall Master Ren thought for a while, and frowned secretly, if he left like this at this time, he would be unwilling, so he waved his hand, "Don't care." ”

There are still a few people left on the other side of the Ren family, and the hall master Ren is not worried that something will go wrong over there, the most important thing is the present.

"There's quirkiness here. Hall Master Ren's eyes deepened, and his gaze searched around.

"I think so. Ren Yuanyi's eyes stretched along the endless alley ahead, and Ren Yuanyi glowed faintly, "I suddenly remembered something." ”

"It's familiarity. "Master Ren hit the nail on the head.

Yes, it's a sense of familiarity, and after walking a few laps, I feel a little familiar inexplicably, but the scene in front of me is not ordinary, but it's obviously not the same scene, but it makes people feel inexplicably familiar, as if they have just been here. This is probably an alert to a danger.

"Could it be that there is a formation here, and we have entered the formation?" Ren Yuanyi said again, "But the Ren family is already good at arranging formations, what capable person can make such a big movement under the nose of the Ren family?"

The quiet voice of the hall master interrupted Ren Yuanyi. "It's people. ”

Hall Master Ren didn't know what he remembered, he looked at the void and asked leisurely. "Then tell me in detail how you saw the skull in red that day. ”

"Shadows. Ren Yuanyi tried hard to recall the scene at that time, between the lightning and thunder, his heart couldn't help jumping, he looked down at his long shadow, and the two glanced at each other in unison.

Ren Yuanyi lowered his eyelashes, trembling slightly, and the dark circles under his eyes were deep.

Master Ren muttered to himself: "I'm afraid that when I wait until dawn, it will be too late......"

The hall master Ren muttered to himself, took Ren Yuanyi's umbrella down, and said with a little disgust to Ren Yuanyi, "Why do you hold an umbrella when you go out in the middle of the night." ”

Ren Yuanyi blinked. “......... The Song family, the soul-chasing umbrella. ”

Hall Master Ren couldn't help but glance at Ren Yuanyi, Ren Yuanyi is usually a very particular person, forgive him for being clumsy, he didn't see the clue from this playful umbrella at once, but it seems that the eldest lady of the Song family really loves Ren Yuanyi, and even such treasures can be lent to Ren Yuanyi to use as an umbrella.

However, Hall Master Ren remembered another matter, and glanced at him thoughtfully, "Why, are you so sure that someone died tonight?"

"Yes......... Heavy ...... Dead air. Ren Yuanyi lowered his eyelashes and looked slightly.

Hall Master Ren looked at the mansion in front of him involuntarily. He raised his head and stared at the dust floating in the moonlight for a long time. Yes, dead air.

Tonight, there is a living soul who has passed away......

........................

The moonlight shone on the dilapidated courtyard, and the ground seemed to be paved with a layer of frost and snow, but it was paved with layers of dark red, and the crows in the trees stopped making noise and fell asleep. It was late at night, and the cold autumn dew quietly wet the osmanthus in the garden. The courtyard is full of flowers, the faint yellow, the delicate small, the grains of dots, the stars are dotted between the green leaves, the breeze blows, the whole old alley and street are filled with a faint fragrance, as if there is nothing but penetrates the bone marrow, diffuses between the ethereal and the reality, and drifts away with the wind.

Lu Xi's porcelain expression was wilted, and the wind fell on her clothes, waist and abdomen, skirt, and wet clothes along the eaves, outlining a slender waist, and she looked thrillingly thin.

Lu Xici looked in a very bad state, his face was as white as a ghost, but his eyes were like cold fire.

They......... Finally I found it.

Lu Xici looked forward to them coming, and hoped that they would not come.

Lu Xici's almost transparent soul stayed in mid-air with a sway.

Obviously separated by a wall, Lu Xici could hear their voices and see them, but they were separated by two worlds.

This made Lu Xici's hands in front of him tremble uncontrollably. But at this moment, she didn't want to show fear. She clenched her fingers hard, her eyes involuntarily following the skull's figure.

The skull seemed to have found something interesting, quietly looked at the two people across the wall, and seemed to feel that the two people were not the same as the people patrolling outside, and had a trace or two of interest, and then the skull fixed its eyes on Ren Yuanyi.

With a click, the skull bit off the bone in its arm again, and then slowly spliced it back together.

Creepy voice. As the wind blew, one by one as if beating on the heart, the skull was tired, and in the second half of the night, it was already ...... No one came back for the time being.

And the fishy sweet smell in this courtyard soon drifted away with the fragrance of flowers all over the ground.

Lu Xici didn't seem to have any strength at all, she leaned on her body weakly, her fingers trembled, and she passed through her body again at once.

......

The wind howls,

Lu Xici raised his eyes to look, but suddenly he couldn't hear their voices anymore, and frowned slightly.

Lu Xici restrained his somewhat trembling body, and saw the skull turn its head to stare at him. A black gas from the skull protruding from his bony hand was tightly wrapped around Lu Xici's wrist like a snake.

Lu Xici looked at her body and her face became more and more black, as if she could feel the discomfort of her body, she held her hand fiercely, and fine goosebumps rose in her neck.

Finally, are you going to make a move on her?

A trace of pain flashed in Lu Xi's eyes, what would happen to her without her body. Will she wander the world like the lonely ghosts out there?

Or is it ...... Will be reincarnated.

In the next moment, the skull flew out directly, and the Ren family across the same wall confronted each other.

At the same time, the skull suddenly burst out of anger in his heart, looking at Lu Xi porcelain's eyes as if looking at the people who had just come to die, the skull was surrounded by endless white black gas, rotating at high speed, wrapping Lu Xi porcelain in an airtight air.

Lu Xici was stunned, but the next moment he laughed.

However, I don't know why I was smiling and laughing, and a sour feeling welled up in my heart, and all the tears that I had suppressed and endured in my eyes fell down, and they rolled down.

She probably died worse than they did.........
