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

Autumn is cool, the autumn wind mixed with the cold has been busy surging coming, Qingzhan is wearing a placket embroidered fairy skirt, and the outside is not too thick cedar, when the cold wind blows, she inevitably shiveres. Qingzhan is the maid of Song Chengcheng, the eldest lady of the Song family, she has been with Song Chengcheng to Renjiayuan for a while, waiting for Song Chengcheng left and right, but she has not come out for a long time, Qingzhan can't hide things in her heart, and her face inevitably shows a little anxiety, but at first Song Chengcheng told her to stand still and not move, and she didn't dare to walk around, so she had to ask someone to inquire.

There were originally twelve girls around Song Chengcheng, and they looked very big and lively. It didn't take long for one of the outstanding-looking girls to commit a big incident, and Song Chengcheng disbanded them all in a fit of rage, leaving only two maids, one is Qingliu, who has always been very pleasing to Song Chengcheng, and the other is her. Qingzhan remembered that day Song Chengcheng pointed a fan on his head, only smiled and said, this girl looks pleasing to the eye, so Qingzhan stayed like this.

The person who went to deliver the news soon returned, followed by Song Chengcheng, who was walking unhurriedly.

Qingzhan saw that the tight string in Song Chengcheng's heart was finally loosened, she stepped forward quickly, and put the cloak she had been holding for a long time on Song Chengcheng's body.

Song Chengcheng glanced at Qingzhan and didn't speak. Still hiding his heart in his heart, Song Chengcheng took two steps, then paused, looked back at the sparsely lit courtyard, and secretly pondered what he said. Ren Yuanyi told her that he didn't like Lu Xi's porcelain, but he just couldn't see Miss Lu die like this.

Song Chengcheng sneered, it's okay to be dead, but I'm afraid that I will come back and continue to harm people. Song Chengcheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qingzhan, no matter how bad Ren Yuanyi is, he is better than ordinary people. If it is his own person after all, help him once, and help him again, so that Ren Yuanyi owes himself a few more favors, and when the time comes, these favors will be stacked, and some of them will be accepted by him, so Song Chengcheng thought about it like this, and calmed down.

Qingzhan saw that Miss Song's face was blue, white, and red, and she wondered in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything, and carefully carried the lamp to light the way for her.

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

After dinner, the elders gathered. Seeing that Hall Master Ren had returned, Elder Changming hooked his lips.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the hall master gathered his sleeves, strode in, and covered the door with his hand.

The candlelight in the room flickered on and off, and in the silence, the head of the house glanced at Hall Master Ren again, paused for a moment, and asked, "Where is Wuxiang?"

The expression on the face of the hall master was not very natural, he lowered his eyebrows, and he didn't look at everyone, but said. "He went to heal Pei Yizheng in the Falling Moon Residence. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they also knew that Elder Wuxiang had picked this time and found an excuse to leave, that is, he made his attitude clear, he didn't want to mix these things, and the head didn't mind, so he smiled clearly.

Everyone has some bottom in their hearts, and they are not surprised.

"Boss. Hall Master Ren lowered his eyes and arched his hand, "What are your plans now?" ”

The head of the sect had already discussed it with them, and at this time, he made a final decision: "Two hands, on the one hand, what is going on with those people in the town, and on the other hand, to investigate the skull in red." ”

After hearing this, Hall Master Ren was inevitably a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "What about Luxi porcelain, don't you have to look for it again." ”

"What's wrong with that?" asked Elder Ignorance with a solemn expression.

"It's no problem, I just feel like it's just a little girl, and it's too much of a fuss. It took a moment for the boss to explain.

Hall Master Ren's eyelashes drooped slightly, but he didn't think so in his heart, but he didn't want to say much, so he shook his head, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

"Has the Ren family sent someone to inspect the town? Hall Master Ren asked.

The head of the house hung down his sleeve and said, "I am also thinking about these things, the Ren family goes to patrol every day, and uses them together with those magic weapons of the Song family Zhang Luo, but I have not found any problems, think about it, this is the biggest problem." ”

Elder Changming had a serious face and took the initiative to ask, "Why don't I mix in with the patrolling disciples and discuss it in person." ”

Hall Master Ren glanced at Elder Changming silently and took over the matter. "Senior brother, I'd better go. ”

The head felt that there was no opinion, and everyone didn't say anything.

It's night.........

The hall master Ren originally followed the disciples on patrol, seeing that everyone's faces were relaxed and not in a good state, thinking that he was really a little abrupt mixed in, he beckoned to the leader and whispered a few words, and after the leader listened, he looked at his ordinary face at this time, his eyes were surprised for a moment, and then turned to everyone and said to the people to act separately.

When the hall master thinks like this, he also has some scruples. When everyone gets together, they may not find anything, but maybe they can find clues when they are separated. But he didn't dare to disperse too much, so it became a fixed range, patrolling in pairs and twos, and exchanging territory at the time.

The most important thing is everyone's safety, so he turned his head and instructed the leader, who instructed that his own safety should be the most important thing.

The hall master walked slowly on the dark street with his hands behind his back, hunched his back. He lowered his eyes, pondered, and killed people in dreams, the target was just an ordinary person, what was it for, so how far could that thing trigger dreams from one person to another? Or did it only have the ability to make a family addicted to it, and could not be used on a large scale.

Thinking along this line of thought, Hall Master Ren felt a little numb in his scalp, and even felt a little faintly uneasy, in case he ...... It's clumsy, and it's far more lethal than everyone sees, so it has an unknown purpose.

If so...... If you can enclose the people in a dream, how terrible the person's consciousness must be.........

After his mind turned, the hall master's pupils shrank sharply, his heart was cold, and his heart was turbulent, but he couldn't see it on his face.

For the Dream Weaver, the hall master really doesn't understand. The Ren family now has the last killer weapon in their hands - the Elder of the Countryside.

Elder Wuxiang had been in the exorcism for such a long time, and he would know more about these things than ordinary people, and even faintly had some skills that a dream weaver would know.

The matter of exorcism and crying has always been a knot in the heart of the elders of Wuxiang. Besides, as a dream weaver, you must use yourself as bait in order to urge people to fall asleep and control that thing, which is very dangerous in itself. If it really reaches that point, this opening should be opened by him no matter what.

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

The night was dark, and the killing came as scheduled.

There was a wind blowing, swinging the wide red hem of the skull, Lu Xici half-knelt in a pool of blood, listening to the sharp voice that was completely different from the stiff expression of the skull, the skull smiled, startling countless jackdaws perched on the dead branches.

The skull waved his hand without changing its color, and countless things seemed to turn into ashes, falling down one after another.

As far as the naked eye can see, more and more people are gathering here, and the skull has begun to disdain to do it himself.

Lu Xi porcelain was frightened and creepy.

The skull wants to use killing as a game to entertain himself and enjoy it.

The ground was red and white, and there was blood and brains.

A heavy fishy sweet smell lingered, and the entire air was filled with layers of shadows.

The skull put its hand on the skulls of those people, and without mercy, the viscous liquid dripped through the fingers of the white bones of the skull, all the way down the fingers, and the palm lay on the ground. Lu Xici was cold, only to find that he had lost his temperature and was trembling.

Lu Xici looked at "himself" standing on the side, calmly watching, with a docile posture with his head lowered, he saw a few red shadows of blood splashing out and falling on this clean red-sleeved robe, which was shocking.

The skull beckoned at her, Lu Xi's porcelain teeth clenched, her dilated pupils were full of terror, and the soul floating in mid-air saw the dog's expression when she showed her drooping tail.

Lu Xici was terrified for a while, feeling like his heart was falling into ice water, his brain was like a bucket of paste, and that uncontrollable feeling came again, and he was going to ...... Did you tell yourself to do something?

The sound of regular footsteps came from outside, Lu Xici's heart beat fast, and with the beating of her heart, she felt her body rise straight up, as if she was about to float into the air.

Be...... Is anyone coming?

Lu Xici looked at the dark coat with sad eyes.

Footsteps are getting closer.

Lu Xi's porcelain pupils shrank sharply, a little impatient, the wind blew her soul up, looking at the skull as if watching the excitement, holding her hands on her chest and pacing step by step.

Outside......

There were patrolling people passing by, however, their eyes stopped on it for a while, but they turned away as if they were nothing.

Lu Xici was so shocked that he was like pouring cold water on his body, and he almost collapsed on the ground. Looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of them in a daze, can't they see or hear?

I haven't seen ...... Lu Xici blinked, and suddenly thought, in the dark night, how many nights have such a scene demonstrated here?

The skull seemed to know Lu Xici's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth showed an eerie smile, and in an instant, even the wind and clouds of heaven and earth became even colder.

It seemed that seeing Lu Xi's disappointment, the skull smiled even more happily, and the laughter was as if he was spitting something.

Lu Xici didn't have time to think deeply, and looked up to see those people lying on the ground, smiling, and the souls of the shattered people slowly floating in the air like themselves.

Lu Xici's heart was beating non-stop, frightened and frightened, looking at his body, and at himself floating in the middle of his soul, for a while, he was a little unbelievable, his heart seemed to be filled with something, pressed, hooped, and he couldn't even breathe.

Don't...... Are you already dead?

Lu Xici watched as those souls twisted together uncontrollably, and finally collapsed in the palm of the skull.

Lu Xici looked at herself as if she had been subjected to a major gravitational pull, and she also wanted to float close to the skull, she clenched her teeth and froze in place, clinging to her body.

Devouring dreams, controlling the body, imprisoning the soul, and sinful manifestation. Lu Xici doesn't think that anyone can decide a person's life and death casually.

Lu Xici looked at the faces of those living souls before their deaths, silently gloomy.

Lu Xici is different from them, although she is a soul, she is conscious. This is also her ...... It's a coincidence.

At this moment, the skull twisted those souls into a hair ornament, and the silver, transparent and shiny hair ornament like a soul, hung in the air, more like a magic weapon. Lu Xici hid behind him and poked his head out, wanting to take a closer look. At this moment, the skull looked up and glanced coldly at the void.

Lu Xici panicked like a cicada and lost his voice.

The wind blew, containing a sad cold word.

The skull held the hairpin condensed by the soul, and then glanced at the original hairpin in his hand, and let out a long sigh, Lu Xici's eyes looked at the skull uncontrollably, and at that moment, she seemed to taste a little different, but she couldn't tell what it felt.

Lu Xici looked at the skull with fear, for fear that the skull would find out that he had slipped through the net.

However, the cold wind blew miserably, but there was no movement for a long time, and when she forced herself to calm down, she racked her brains to guess the skull's thoughts.

One reason after another was overturned by her.

A bold idea came to my heart, could it be...... With a skull, she couldn't see herself at all.

Why can't a skull see itself?

But Lu Xici didn't dare to gamble, let alone float on the edge of the skull to test.

Fear enveloped her, Lu Xici's face was as pale as earth, her tongue froze, and her voice was suffocated.

The skull played with the beautiful hairpin by himself, squatted on the eaves, looked back at the cascading skirt, and then, the skull helplessly put together the broken limbs little by little, sometimes reaching out to help it, and the fingertips were wrapped around a black gas, and the limbs that had just been pieced together by the skull were restored to the original.

Those who had been pieced together by the skull stood up straight at the skull's command, as if there was no difference when they came, and they were stunned, as if they had some kind of consciousness, and walked back along the same path.

This night, Lu Xici forgot how many people came and how many people left.

She went from horror to numbness, looking through the black fog at the eaves of the town.

How many people are still alive and how many are like puppets in this peaceful Changxiang town.

The black light of the skull flashed from time to time, and some monks who claimed to be extraordinary were still visiting.

But he walked by without seeing it.

I have never seen this dark night.

Lu Xici couldn't know who died in this town, the faces she saw today were some familiar, some were unfamiliar, she wanted to try to remember one or two faces, but found that her mind was a mess.

And who are the so-called dead people in the town? Is it a trap set by the skull?

If those people are gone, where will they go?

So...... Herself, is she still alive, or is she really dead a long time ago?

If so, from the beginning, she Lu Xici was not a normal person, a living person, so what is she? and why does she exist?

Why don't others notice this?

Lu Xici tried hard to recall that something was wrong with him before, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became, and the more panicked he became.

It seems that there have been rumors in the town for a long time, and she seems to have a strange path. Almost instantly, Lu Xici remembered the night of fire that he dreamed of in Zhang Er's shop, the thing that was not a ghost or a ghost, and the face that looked exactly like himself.

So......

What about those whose souls have been devoured by skulls, where have their souls gone?

In other words, if she could be separated from her own soul from the beginning, then can it be said that she is the most "safe" person in this long township?

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

That night, the wind was calm, and the elder of the elder village seemed to be in a bad mood, frowned, and slowly came to the "Falling Moon Residence" with his medicine box.

The weather in the "Falling Moon Residence" was gloomy, because the entire courtyard was in the formation, and when people came in, they entered the formation. Whether it's a person or a ghost, it's clear at first sight.

Sensing that someone was coming, the black shadow seemed to be stunned, looking at the sky outside, and secretly wondering, someone would come at such a time, didn't he see that there was something wrong with Pei Yizheng, and came to kill people.

The black shadow didn't dare to move, Pei Yizheng looked at him so nervously, felt a little ridiculous, and laughed carelessly.

Although Pei Yizheng's body is not good, his divine sense is strong, and he knows a little bit about the people who come.

"I dare to come here, no matter how bad the ending is, I expected it. Pei Yizheng didn't care a little.

Seeing Pei Yizheng's appearance like this, the black shadow faintly had a kind of hatred in his heart, but when he heard the footsteps in his ears getting closer and closer, he didn't have time to say anything, and it turned into a black gas that poured into Pei Yizheng's cuffs.

Elder Wuxiang pushed the door open, and the moonlight outside trickled in, and his shadow was half cast on the doorframe and half on the ground.

The person lying on the collapse leaned on the back end of the cloud collapse, and the moonlight shone into Pei Yizheng's eyebrows, but there was a special thrill, his long eyebrows were indifferent, his eyes were quiet, and he only looked at it quietly.

Pei Yizheng only glanced at it, and fell on the things that the Wuxiang elders were holding in their hands, and he had a plan in his heart.

Elder Wuxiang was silent for a moment, seeing that Pei Yizheng had not fallen asleep at such a time, and he was not surprised, to be precise, Elder Wuxiang was not unfamiliar with many things.

"I'll examine your wounds. Elder Wuxiang also felt that it was a bit abrupt for him to come like this, and he gave a rare explanation.

Pei Yizheng pulled his sleeves, and when he casually lowered his eyes, he saw a few red shadows of blood splashed on this clean one-sleeved robe, which was shocking, Pei Yizheng quietly tightened his cuffs and hid the wound exposed outside.

Elder Wuxiang glanced at Pei Yizheng indifferently, and when he saw that he only lowered his hand backwards, he couldn't help frowning.

The black shadow was hidden in it, so he could glimpse the gaze of the Elder of the Lesser Township, and seeing the direction of the gaze of the Elder of the Wanderer, he suddenly raised his throat and eyes for a while, and then thought that he Pei Yizheng was not in a hurry, he was very anxious.
