、、、、、、、

The night was dark and the wind was high, the lights of thousands of homes were extinguished, the dark clouds on the sky were heavy, there was no moon, only a few remaining stars in the sky, flickering with a faint light.

The night breeze blew from the top of Heyang City, like a wild ghost crying at night, it was really a bit chilly and terrifying, thinking that this place had just experienced a catastrophe, and there was no one in sight on the streets outside the city. On the long street road, there are only a few dead leaves that are occasionally blown off by the wind, in which they roll and rise alone, drifting into the distance.

In this strange night, a black shadow suddenly floated from Heyang City, almost incorporeal like a ghost, and quietly fell outside the city, and swept towards the ancient road south of Heyang City. A moment later, another gray shadow came after him, staring at the black shadow.

These two people are naturally the lich and Shangguan Ce who have been tracking for thousands of miles, from the beginning of Southern Xinjiang to the present deep in Middle-earth, this chase can be regarded as protracted.

Shangguan Ce's Incense Valley's profound magical thaumaturgy, coupled with an unfathomable Nine Cold Ice Condensing Magic Weapon, it is very difficult for the Lich to deal with it, but the strange magic of the Lich is always unexpected, and it is impossible to change a thousand times in a thousand ways, but it also makes Shangguan Ce have a headache, and he wants to capture it again and again, but he repeatedly misses.

If it were an ordinary person, most of them would have given up when they encountered this situation, but Shangguan Ce was under the order of Yun Yilan, the lord of the Incense Valley Valley, and most of the lich demons had a way to unlock the secret of the Heavenly Fire of the Ancient Wu Clan in Southern Xinjiang.

However, such persistence is not all useless, the level of cultivation of the two is there, and it is difficult for the lich to compete with it in a short period of time, but the lich has repeatedly relied on all kinds of strange spells to escape, and has been seen by Shangguan Ce one by one, and gradually knows in his heart, and now, it is becoming more and more difficult for the lich to escape from Shangguan Ce's pursuit again.

Shangguan Ce knew this in his heart, and the lich knew it in his heart, but he had no choice but to understand it, but he really had nothing to do. If there is a way to get rid of this hateful person who is like a cone of bones, he has used it many times for thousands of miles, but Shangguan Ce has enjoyed a great reputation for nearly a hundred years, and he was even more of a popular figure in southern Xinjiang back then, and his Taoism, practice, knowledge, and vision are all superior, far from being comparable to Li Xun and other second-generation disciples of Incense Valley.

Although the lich even cast strange magic thaumaturgy, they were actually seen through it one by one, at most they could hide it for a moment, and they saw that they had escaped for a distance, but after a while, they were finally chased by Shangguan Ce.

In fact, Shangguan Ce, or the reason why Yun Yilan of Incense Valley must capture himself, was already clear to the lich in his heart in several conversations with Shangguan Ce, but for him, he was resolutely unwilling to be captured. This night, seeing Shangguan Ce behind him chasing closer and closer, and when the ancient road in front of him quickly retreated backwards, there was little to block the hilly boundary, but the terrain gradually flattened and opened, and a wilderness appeared in front of him.

Where else can you escape in such a place?

The lich smiled bitterly under the masked black scarf and swept away, but the sound of the wind behind him was tight for a while.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly felt something, as if he had found something, and turned his head to look to the side. His name is called "Lich", as the name suggests, he knows what kind of Taoist magic he is good at, plus his own physique is different from ordinary people, and he is ten times more sensitive to the spirit of ghosts and ghosts than ordinary cultivators.

The lich was overjoyed, his body turned sharply in mid-air, and he twisted abruptly, but it was extremely swift and swept towards the depths of the wilderness, and Shangguan Ce, who was tracking, snorted coldly, his body was like duckweed, floating and swinging, unspeakably free and casual, and easily turned around, and chased after him again.

It's just a slight delay, the lich has pulled away for a while, and the figure is slightly blurred, but Shangguan Ce didn't have much to worry about, this long journey has been tracked all the way, he has touched this mysterious lich's ability, I don't think he can make any tricks, at this moment, his mood is somewhat of a cat and a mouse.

Spending countless efforts, tracking thousands of miles, and laboring hard, this can't be punished well?

Shangguan Ce sneered in his heart, and with the reassurance of the overall situation, he easily chased after it.

Soon, the things that appeared in front of the lich confirmed his suspicions, and this was indeed a place of extreme yin, called Yizhuang in Middle-earth, that is, where the bodies of the deceased who had not yet been buried were parked, but judging by the dilapidated extent of the courtyard hut, it was probably a place that had been abandoned for a long time.

The lich couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, with his original intention, this Yizhuang was extremely yin, and it was an excellent place for him to perform many strange spells, but after a long time of abandonment, the effect was reduced, especially since he had a few magic similar to ghosts, and he could control the corpse, which was quite powerful, and there was no chance to cast it along the way, if he took this opportunity to cast a spell suddenly, it would probably also make Shangguan Ce, the old horseman, suffer a big loss.

It's just that this Yizhuang has been abandoned for a long time, so naturally there will be no corpses that have just passed away lying here.

However, even though there was some disappointment in his heart, in terms of the lich's state of mind, this place can still be said to be a desperate place to survive, and at the moment, without hesitation, the black figure "swished" and swept into the gloomy and black house in Yizhuang.

However, when his figure floated away, there was a little confusion in his mind: this Yizhuang has been abandoned for a long time, but how can this eerie aura be so strong and long-lasting?

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the hut in Yizhuang was even darker, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when you stretched out your hand. However, for cultivators, especially "people" like the Lich, whose physique is different from ordinary people, this darkness is not difficult, and he soon "sees" the general situation in the Yizhuang house. This place has been abandoned for a long time, the surrounding walls are full of holes and dilapidation, and the first desk in front of the house, which was supposed to be a memorial to the dead, has also fallen to the ground, and in the middle of the room, there are several broken coffins lying horizontally and vertically, and some of them have not even closed the coffin lids.

Listening to the sound of the wind outside Yizhuang, it was obvious that Baice was chasing after him, and he was about to catch up, and the lich did not hesitate, but his body trembled, and suddenly there were several strange-shaped nails-like iron tools in his hands, but his whole body was covered with iron, and then he didn't look at it, his fingers bounced like flying, and the sound of "whooshing" was endless, and these monsters instantly disappeared into the darkness and flew into all corners of the hut.

And when every monster disappears into the darkness, a faint blue aura will suddenly emanate from the tail, but it is only a flash, and it will be gone in a blink of an eye. As these monsters penetrated into the darkness of this room, the already piercing yin qi in this room suddenly became ten times stronger, as if it could pierce into the bone marrow.

The lich sneered, and the corner of his eyes swept away, and his whole body suddenly floated up as if it had no weight, and floated straight to a coffin in the corner of the room. The coffin looked unremarkable, the lid was not properly covered, and it was half crooked outside.

The lich slid in silently, a place that ordinary people seemed to avoid but he liked, and as his body slid in, the lid of the coffin, which was tilted and tilted, was also covered by him.

The next moment, the sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and the room was suddenly silent, there was no sound, and Shangguan Ce's figure appeared at the door of this house.

The lich hid in the coffin in the corner, and his heart was determined, just as the coffin was broken, there were a few thin seams on the wooden wall, he saw Shangguan Ce's every move clearly through the gap, and his heart was even more proud, as long as Shangguan Ce didn't notice for a while, and then took two steps to the middle of this room, it would trigger the "Yin Ghost" strange array he set up, with the help of the extremely strong eerie ghost aura here, he would definitely catch Shangguan and the old thief off guard.

He was looking forward to it in his heart, but he seemed to be very cautious, and he didn't rush in to search for the missing lich, but stood at the door, carefully looking into the room, and it seemed that he didn't dare to come in boldly for a while.

The lich was a little disappointed in his heart, and secretly cursed the old thief for being really cunning, and came back to his senses, and then slowly began to pay attention to his place.

Unexpectedly, he took care of it again, but in a moment, he only felt a bang in his head, which almost scared his own soul.

He was in this coffin, and there was still a person!

In fact, with the special nature of the lich, there is no one in this coffin, that is, there is a dead person, and it is ugly, even if it is a skeleton, he will turn a blind eye, and it is hard to guarantee that it will feel a little kind, but in the coffin under him, there is a living person!

And from the time he entered this hut to the moment he slid into this coffin, he was completely unaware of it, and he did not even breathe. The lich was frightened, and his whole body trembled slightly, but finally his barely remaining reason controlled him, and he did not shout loudly or break out of the coffin, but his forehead, back, and palms were already covered with cold sweat.

But the next moment, what surprised him even more was discovered by him, that is, the living person under him was breathless...... A living man without breathing!

In a moment, the lich had already judged clearly that the person in the same coffin under him was indeed a living person, because the two of them were in the same coffin, and there was not much space at all, and with his acumen, he quickly noticed that this person's heart was beating slowly, but for some reason, this person's mouth and nose were motionless. The lich quietly reached over and probed, and after a while, there was no movement, and the man was indeed not breathing.

The lich only felt a tingling in his scalp. This unbelievable change happened in front of him, and the lich wanted to plot against the official strategy, but this time his mind was so confused that he couldn't concentrate on his mind for a while, and his qi and blood were faintly surging. It's just that after all, he is also a person with profound Taoism, and as soon as his mind moved, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly secretly urged him to mobilize the Fa to calm his mind, and after a while, he settled down.

However, just as the lich was contemplating how to deal with the unexpected, an even bigger surprise once again left him dumbfounded and at a loss.

The whole coffin suddenly made a small sound: "Smack!"

It was as if something had been closed, and the sound was so soft that it was almost impossible to hear, but in this hut, to the ears of these deeply cultivated people, it was a completely different matter.

Shangguan Ce was almost at the same time, Huo Ran turned around and stared at this corner.

And the lich was stunned, and instantly only felt that the coffin he was in suddenly emitted a strange demonic power from all directions, like a rope like hemp, and it was actually tightly controlled the space in this coffin.

The lich's soul seems to be scared out of its body. However, as if it was not enough, at this moment, in the dark space inside the coffin, the "living person" under him, who felt that he was a fat man, suddenly opened his eyes as if he had woken up. The eyes of the two men, in mid-air, in this strange atmosphere, looked at each other: and then, the unknown fat man, so silently, smiled at the lich.

Shangguan Ce stared at the corner in the middle of the room, but he didn't immediately go over to check it. Although he didn't have the special physique of a lich, with his high level of Taoism, he could naturally roughly distinguish the scenery in this house, and at the same time, with his knowledge, of course, he also knew what kind of place this was.

But he is not a lich, and Shangguan Ce has never liked this place in Yizhuang, especially for an elderly man, he doesn't like this kind of place even more.

At the same time, with his Taoism, when he first entered this room, he keenly noticed that in this room, the prosperity of yin qi was really extraordinary, far from being comparable to an ordinary Yizhuang. What kind of magic is the lich proficient in, he is more than anyone else, and now this place is obviously the little demon's favorite place, so be careful!

Shangguan Ce sneaked into the true method, protected his whole body, carefully checked the strange hut again, and after confirming that there was indeed nothing suspicious, he slowly took a step.

It's just that his footsteps are only halfway through, and he suddenly retracts again, and at the same time, the cold light in his right hand flashes, and the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns have already appeared in his hand.

The old man always seems to be very careful. He finally took the first step in the direction of the corner. Outside the house, a gust of wind blew, and the "woo" sounded straight, which was creepy.

Shangguan Ce was on full alert, and the slightest change in this hut could not escape his ears and eyes, but there was darkness around him, except for silence and silence, there was not the slightest sound.

He sneered, and suddenly raised his voice: "The old man already knows that you are in this coffin, old friend, if you don't come out again, don't blame me for beating people with coffins and giving you a hard time." ”

There was no answer, and there was silence all around.

Shangguan Ce snorted angrily and said, "Pretend to be a ghost!"

After that, he didn't hesitate and took a step forward, and at the same time, the silver and white cold light of the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns in his hand skyrocketed, and the temperature around him suddenly became cold.

But just as Shangguan Ce was about to attack, a faint blue light suddenly flew out of the other corner of the hut, wrapped in yin qi, and attacked Shangguan Ce's back.

Shangguan Ce was originally on guard with his whole body about the surrounding situation, but this Yin Charm Array set up by the Lich had completely converged its own Yin power, and the whole body could actually absorb the surrounding Yin Qi and wrap it. But at this time, it just became a weakness, and the lich saw this and carried out a sneak attack.

Shangguan Ce didn't feel the abnormality around him, until the yin ghost approached three feet behind him, the wind was steep and urgent, and the yin power was great, he was frightened, and when the lightning was shining, he was undoubtedly full of deep Taoism, and immediately took a big step forward, and opened up a little distance when he couldn't make a mistake, and at the same time, the Nine Cold Ice Spikes instantly floated from his hands to his back. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the silver-white light suddenly illuminated the entire hut, but under this strange atmosphere, the originally very beautiful light looked miserable and white at the moment, which really made people's scalp tingle.

I saw that the silver light emanated from the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small piece of light shield on Shangguan Ce's back, and at the most dangerous moment, the Yin Charm was bounced away.

It's just that before Shangguan Ce could catch his breath, the big step he took just now had already fully touched the Yin Charm Array laid by the Lich Shicai, and suddenly saw blue light flash in several corners of this hut, and several Yin Charms mixed with eerie ghosts shot out, and what was even more strange was that the Yin Charm he bounced off just now drew a semicircle in mid-air, and it was like someone pulling it, and it quietly attacked Shangguan Ce's back again.

Shangguan Ce was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry for a while, but he was not an ordinary person after all, the light of the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns flickered, and the ice light pointed out, and in a moment, this hut seemed to be covered with a faint layer of frost from the roof to the floor.

And under this biting cold, the yin charm that was destroyed by the strange mana also seemed to be greatly resisted, and several flickering yin ghosts slowed down one after another, and at the same time, the yin charm seemed to be iron and non-iron utensils, but in this moment, a thick layer of ice was formed. Although their speed is still very fast, but just like that, it has made Shangguan Ce slow down, and when he landed in the silver and white miserable light, "Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng" several times in a row, several Yin Charms were knocked to the ground by the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns, and when they landed, most of them were poured by the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorns, but when they saw the ice, the Yin Charms that landed were all shattered into several pieces.

Shangguan Ce turned the corner from the extremely dangerous place, broke the witch's ghostly array, couldn't help laughing, and shouted towards the coffin: "Now you can't do it, you can't do it yet, you won't ...... it if you don't come out and tie your hands."

Before the word "capture" could be spoken, suddenly Shangguan Ce's face changed greatly, his face was distorted, and he actually let out a roar of extreme pain, and the whole person flipped upside down, and with a loud bang, he actually hit a big hole in the wall and flew out. Between his figures, he could see the faint pale blue light flashing on his back, but it was the first one just now, and at some point, it completely avoided his ears and eyes, and hit him hard.

In these thrilling battles in the hut, the lich and the mysterious and unknown fat man under him could see clearly through the cracks in the coffin, especially the last one that became hasty, and the above officials were so old that they were still plotting.

In the darkness, the mysterious fat man actually had a little appreciation in his eyes, and suddenly said: "It's rare to be able to control ghosts like ghosts and ghosts after sacrificing them!"

The lich was shocked when he heard this man speak for the first time, but listening to his tone and eyes, it seemed that there was no hostility for the time being, and at this time he himself was also in a mood agitated, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "You are wrong. ”

The fat man was a little surprised, and after a while, he said, "What am I wrong?"

The lich sighed and said, "It's true that I planted these Yin Charm Arrays in the front, but the last Yin Charm is controlled by another master and has nothing to do with me. He said hatefully, "If I really had that kind of practice, I wouldn't be trapped here." ”

The fat man frowned and stopped talking.

The lich glanced at him, and after just a few words, he had already roughly sensed the situation of this fat man, this person seemed to be in a similar situation to him, and he was also trapped in this strange coffin, but unlike the lich, this fat man obviously had a more powerful and strange ramming power, which imprisoned his whole body.

The lich couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, the strength of the prohibition placed on the coffin he was in now, even with the high level of his cultivation, was still enough to imprison him and immobilize, but for this fat man, it seemed that some people were not enough, and still had to lay a terrifying strange spell on his body to trap it.

So if this fat man is not forbidden, wouldn't his Taoism be high and scary?

And if you think about it more deeply, what kind of terrifying character will be able to restrain this fat man?

The lich's mind was in chaos in an instant, and the land of Middle-earth, the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, Shangguan Ce's roar came from outside the hut: "Which master is still here, please show up and see each other, what kind of hero is he plotting behind his back?"

In the hut, the lich and the fat man glanced at each other, obviously Shangguan Ce's eyes were like torches, and he could see at a glance that it was not the lich who had injured him with the plot, but someone else.

At this time, only a pleasant voice like a silver bell came down from the roof of this gloomy ghost, a little sneering, a little pleasant, and said: "Didn't you say that you are pretending to be a ghost, I want you to see who is pretending to be a ghost!"

When the lich saw the mysterious fat man trapped in the coffin, he naturally couldn't see who the woman on the small roof was.

Shangguan Ce stood in the middle of the court, endured the severe pain at this moment, looked up, suddenly gasped, and said in a cold voice: "It's you?"

The woman's voice laughed, "It's not me, or who......?"

The laughter is crisp, with a touching charm, under the night of the forest, but only to see a slender figure sitting alone on the roof, eyebrows are picturesque, eyes are like water, ten thousand styles, peerless elegance, but it is not the nine-tailed sky fox Xiaobai, who is it?
