Speaking of the task, Mu Qingxin and Ren Mowen also quieted down and listened in silence with a serious face.

Tuchen told the six disciples of the Demon Exploration Hall who were killed and the conjectures of the six elders about the matter from beginning to end. Then he took a deep breath: "The cause of death of these six disciples is strange, the demon clan is only one of the possibilities, it is not excluded that it is the so-called human or demon clan, I thought about it for a long time, and I think it is most appropriate to send the three of you forward." ”

"The three of us?" the clever ghost scratched the back of his head: "But the three of us are all new disciples, logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be handed over to the uncles to investigate and deal with?"

Tuchen nodded: "Although the degree of danger of this mission is unknown, your skills are flexible and react quickly, Mu Qingxin is calm and calm, although Ren Mowen is a little more angry when he looks at the book, but the exercises and cultivation are above the two of you, so it is most appropriate to let the three of you go." What do you think?"

The clever ghost was very simple: "Anyway, I am idle in the valley, and it is very boring to practice those single exercises every day, it is a good thing to go out and practice, I have no opinion." ”

Mu Qingxin thought for a few seconds and shook her head slightly: "I have no opinion." ”

Seeing that Mu Qingxin agreed, Ren Mowen naturally smiled from ear to ear, and quietly gave a thumbs up to Tuchen as a thank you, and nodded again and again: "I have no opinion, I have no opinion!"

"Okay, in that case, you go back and pack up, and leave early tomorrow morning. Go to the ascetic forest next to Xiangyang City to investigate, and send me the news immediately if there is any situation. Although he said this, Tuchen was still a little uneasy: "The three of you must take care of each other, unite and cooperate, and try not to separate if you can be together." ”

"Xiangyang City...... Ascetic Forest ......"

Mu Qingxin's face became slightly ugly after hearing this, she frowned and pondered for a moment and became relieved, as if she had suddenly figured it out again.

The three of them took the task, turned around and left one after another, and agreed to meet at the exit of Linggu in the early morning of the next day.

Seeing the three of them leave, Tuchen sighed again, knowing that three more friends were about to leave Linggu......

The next day, Tuchen waited early at the exit of Linggu, and after a while, three people appeared on time.

Before leaving, Tuchen repeatedly advised: "Remember, the purpose of going this time is to find out who the murderer of the six fellow murderers is, not to arrest the murderer." Put your own safety first in everything and never act recklessly!"

The three of them answered, and left the Spirit Valley along more than 100 steps.

Tuchen looked at their backs and whispered, "I hope you can kill two birds with one stone this time, and you can return safely......"

The clever ghosts, Mu Qingxin and Ren Mowen, after the three of them left the Spirit Valley, they hurried non-stop, and at noon the next day, they came to the ascetic forest where the six disciples had accidents.

This is a not-so-ordinary forest, and the reason why it is called the 'ascetic forest' is because this forest is full of medicinal herbs. This kind of grass leaves are white and red, and it cannot be used as medicine to cure diseases, but the smell is bitter and astringent, making people smell as if they have just drunk a big bowl of extremely bitter decoction!

Passers-by who shuttled through it, because they couldn't stand the bad smell, would speed up their progress and walk briskly whenever they arrived here, and after a long time, they came to have the strange name 'Ascetic'.

As a disciple of the Demon Exploration Palace, the clever ghost practiced reconnaissance and exploration, so he came to the edge of the ascetic forest and prepared to take the brunt of the first to explore the way.

Ren Mowen looked at Mu Qingxin beside him, but he always wanted to behave, so he grabbed the clever ghost and rushed to the front line with his head held high.

Walking into the forest, he looked left and right and found that there was no danger, turned around and opened his mouth and was about to beckon the two behind him to follow, when the unpleasant bitter smell of the herb entered his throat, and he couldn't help but start coughing before he could say anything.

Mu Qingxin and the clever ghost also covered their noses and frowned after getting closer, they didn't expect that the smell of the forest would be so strong, and ordinary people suddenly entered it, and even breathing was a problem.

Covering his nose and retreating to the periphery of the ascetic forest, Ren Mowen was already coughing and tearful, and he took several deep breaths in a row before he spoke: "This ...... This grass ...... It's too bitter too...... I've never smelled so bitter!!"

The clever ghost walked up to the front and sniffed it gently, then leaned over and folded a section of herbs in his hand, looked at it for a while, and put it directly into his mouth!

Ren Mowen frowned when he saw it, couldn't help coughing again, and then asked, "Clever ghost, ...... What are you doing? This grass smells so bitter that you won't die if you eat it!"

The ghost's expression did not change, and he swallowed all the herbs in his mouth: "This kind of grass is bitter, but it has no taste when eaten. But it can help us get used to the taste faster, and you can eat some too, and then you won't feel so choked when you go into the woods. ”

Mu Qingxin didn't hesitate at all after hearing this, she also folded a piece of medicinal herbs and swallowed it in her mouth, and then walked straight to the forest.

Even Mu Qingxin ate it, even if the taste was bitter, Ren Mowen was embarrassed to say anything, and immediately gritted his teeth and stuffed it into his mouth.

The clever ghost is right, although the herbs smell like they seem to be bitter, they taste no different from ordinary grass, and the taste is astringent, with a slight sour taste.

However, Ren Mowen ate a little too much, and after swallowing it all, he spoke with a bitter taste, so that the clever ghost and Mu Qingxin had to keep their distance from him.

Stepping into the ascetic forest again, the bitter taste in the air has really faded a lot, although it is still very bad, but it has not reached the level of choking.

Perhaps because of the unpleasant smell of the herbs, there were almost no creatures in the ascetic forest, neither birds nor animals, nor insects, so the vegetation grew very vigorously, and the height of some large trees even exceeded 30 meters, and the dense branches and foliage were like a large net to block the sky tightly, and the forest became dark.

The clever ghost stared at each other and moved forward cautiously, vigilantly perceiving any strange movements around him.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Ren Mowen opened his mouth to stop the two, and said with a little embarrassment: "You guys rest first, it's convenient for me to go, and I'll come back immediately......" After speaking, he turned around and walked into the grass next to him, who knew that he had just stepped in and stepped on something with one foot, and made a 'rattle' sound.

Ren Mowen was taken aback, subconsciously took a few steps back, raised his hand to push away the high grass and looked carefully, and was taken aback.

I saw two corpses lying side by side in the grass, their whole bodies charred as charcoal, not to mention their appearance, even men and women could no longer distinguish between men and women.

Hearing this, the clever ghost immediately came closer, and after a careful investigation, he tightened his brows: "Tuchen said that when the six fellow disciples in the Exorcism Hall were transported back to Linggu, their bodies were as black as charcoal, and their faces were unrecognizable. The two bodies were not far from his description, and it seemed that the murderer had killed more than one person. ”

Mu Qingxin was also full of suspicion: "However, the souls of these two people were not forcibly sucked away, what was the murderer killing them in such a cruel way?"
