Hengyang Mall is prosperous, and only the sound of silk and bamboo is heard all year round.

In the evening in Hengyang City, the curfew is much earlier than before, and every household locks the door in advance, and only the rubbing of the sand and stones on the street can be heard without hearing the sound of silk and bamboo. Several figures appeared in the city, avoiding the sight of the night patrol officers and soldiers, easily climbing over the city walls and walking towards the darkness.

The six of them met Huang Julai who was waiting for them in the middle of the path, the night was dark, the moon was shining, the four fields were silent, and only the sound of insects could be heard.

"We will arrive at Lijiatun soon, you should be careful and take care of each other. Huang Julai saw that everyone except Murong Bai was a little nervous, so he comforted and reminded him.

Murong Bai was thoughtful and led the team in front, Wu Qi and Huang Julai took care of the left and right sides of the team at any time, Yu Shiji was arranged at the end of the team, Ji Yan and Fuji were in front of Yu Shiji, and Luo Xingxi was placed in the center.

Several people vigilantly entered the boundary of Lijiatun. Fudge looked at Yu Shiji behind him from time to time, and then trotted a few steps in front of Ji Yan, which was very unnatural. Ji Yan looked at the fat man, curious, followed and asked:

"Fatty, is that Senior Sister Yu terrifying, I feel like you've been avoiding her all the way?"

When Fudge heard this, he hurriedly turned around and saw Yu Shiji looking around, and lowered his voice:

"Shhhhh ”

Fudge looked at Ji Yan up and down like a monster, shook his head and explained:

"This Senior Sister Yu Shiji is recognized as a genius of the Sword Sect, no less than Senior Brother Murong Bai, and she is the first in strength among our young disciples, you are really a frog at the bottom of the well!"

Ji Yan was counted down by Fudge, thinking that he only practiced swords with his master in the mountains on weekdays, and he knew very little about the affairs of the sect, so he blushed and was ashamed for a while, but he was still curious, so he asked:

"I don't think everyone is afraid of her, but you are so afraid of her, why?"

Fudge heard Ji Yan's question, squeaked and changed the subject. They were far away from Yu Shiji but very close to Luo Xingxi, and at this time, Luo Xingxi looked at Fuji with a smile and explained to Ji Yan:

"Little junior brother, you don't know, this dead fat man dared to steal up to Baiyun Peak and peep at the senior sisters taking a bath, but he was found by Senior Sister Yu and cleaned up half to death, do you say he is afraid......?

Fudge glared at Luo Xingxi, looked back at Yu Shiji, didn't dare to attack, didn't say a word, and wanted to get into the cracks in the ground. Ji Yan had never seen Fudge pretend to be dumb, his face tense, and hide his smile.

"Attention, we're in Lijiatun!" Huang Julai said to everyone, reminding everyone to be vigilant.

The crowd stopped and observed the village. Surrounded by loess mud walls, two thick wooden pillars in the middle open a three-person wide door, and a wooden board is attached to two wooden pillars, on which is scribbled: Lijiatun.

When they entered the village, they found the carcasses of domestic animals on the ground, stiff and shriveled. By the light of the moon, you can see that the house is very well appointed, and at first glance it looks like a village that has been suddenly abandoned. Several of them opened the wooden door, and it was dark inside, and they couldn't see their fingers. Luo Xingxi took out a night pearl from the storage ring and walked in front, shining in front of others, but just after taking a few steps, he screamed and the beads rolled down.

"Ahh......hhhhh

Murong Bai stepped forward to support the panicked Luo Xingxi, patted the jade back with his right hand, Ji Yan wanted to be the first to rush out to appease the senior sister, but the room was narrow, and when he saw this scene, his heart was sour, so he picked up the night pearl and looked forward. It turned out to be a hideous-looking, skinny, dry corpse, lying on the bed.

By the faint light, Wu Qi and Ji Yan looked at the corpse, the two looked at each other and nodded, Wu Qi said to everyone:

"It's definitely the work of the Soul Eater Temple, the same expression as the dead villagers in our village. ”

"I think so, let's go separately to check, we will definitely leave clues, and if we find it, we can shout immediately, Senior Brother Murong, what do you think?" After listening to Wu Qi's words, Huang Julai proposed to Murong Bai.

Murong Bai looked around, made sure that there was no danger, nodded in agreement, and told everyone:

"Everyone should only move around the village, be cautious, and shout immediately if you find something suspicious. ”

Everyone nodded, dispersed, and disappeared into the darkness one by one. The night was silent, and the houses, like creeping beasts, opened their mouths wide, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to come to the door.

Luo Xingxi has been cared for by Luo Qiushui and Shizun since he was a child, how can he see a sinister ghost, thinking back to the terrifying corpse just now, and then looking around, occasionally crows chirp, and his heart is nervous. Holding the "Chengying" fairy sword tightly with both hands, sweat in his hands, he slowly walked into a house and looked around with the night pearl. A thrilling blood-red mark on the wall, under the miserable white light, Luo Xingxi held the Night Pearl in his right hand, held the sword in his left hand, slightly protected in front of him, and moved to the inner room step by step, as if each step would take a lifetime to take.

"Squeak" An unusually bizarre sound sounded.

Luo Xingxi paused, lifted his toes lightly, and looked down hard and stiffly. She stepped on the arm of a child, the body had been dried for a long time, but her step directly shattered the arm. The hideous-looking child stared at Luo Xingxi with staring eyes. The two looked at each other like this, and suddenly the corpse smiled......

"Ah......" Luo Xingxi couldn't bear it anymore, the hairs on his body suddenly rose, and he ran out in a cold sweat. She covered her face with her hands and cried, feeling how helpless she was at the moment, and someone patted her on the shoulder. Luo Xingxi's body trembled slightly, the pear blossoms brought rain, and he turned around and shouted:

"Senior Brother Murong ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned by a cloud of black mist. Before she closed her eyes, she saw a scarlet but incomparably long tongue on a miserable white face......

Soon everyone heard the sound and felt that Ji Yan was looking for the whereabouts of her senior sister in a panic, but there was no trace.

"What about Senior Brother Huang, why didn't he come over?" Murong Bai found that there was one person missing, frowned, and asked everyone.

"Good boy, is it really haunted? I just felt like someone was following me all the time, and there was a gust of wind behind me, so they wouldn't have made any mistakes, right?" Fudge said in a low voice, shrinking his head.

"It must be him, it was Senior Brother Huang who snatched away Senior Sister!" Ji Yan suddenly shouted loudly, his eyes anxious, but there was a look of self-blame.

"Senior Brother Ji, can't you suspect the same door if you don't figure it out?" Murong Bai knew that Ji Yan was impatient in his heart, and he spoke freely, and he spoke comfortingly.

"I was suspicious when he proposed to separate and check, he must have ulterior motives to separate in an unknown place!" Ji Yan was not excited and complained about Huang Julai, it turned out that he had doubts for a long time, and at this time he said everything in his heart.

"This matter was discussed by all of us, and it is also efficient to find clues separately......"

Just when Murong Bai was stabilizing people's hearts, he suddenly heard Yu Shiji's voice "Hugh go!" and found that Yu Shiji's sword was chasing a black shadow in front of him. Needless to say, Ji Yan took the lead in sacrificing Qingping and followed, and the rest of the people followed.

In a wooded field, they saw the falling rain Shiji. There were two people tied to the trunks of the two big trees in front, it was Luo Xingxi and Huang Julai, Luo Xingxi was still unconscious at this time, Huang Julai had already woken up, and when he saw everyone coming, he reminded in a panic:

"Be careful, everyone, they deliberately lured you and ambushed you here!"

After saying that, I saw several black-robed ghost-faced people surround everyone, and three people flashed out of them. The person in the middle is dressed in white, wearing a white hat more than a foot high with sharp horns, a miserable white smiling mask, a long scarlet tongue hanging, a wicked smile and a cold smile, holding a white ghost whip in his hand, and he is dressed in impermanence;

"Hee-hee...... I have finally coaxed you over, and the souls of mere mortals are not as precious as the souls of your Heavenly Sword Sect disciples. Bai Wuchang smiled through the mask, but the scene was creepy at this time, he waved his hand and said ruthlessly:

"Kill them, and then drain the soul!"

A group of people rushed over with an eerie aura. Wu Qizuo looked forward to the arrival of this day, sacrificed Long Yuan, and cast the Demon Peak Peerless "Righteous Qi Demon Sword", the sword was blue, and there was a great qi stirring, and all ghosts were injured when they touched it. Wu Qi is highly qualified in the door, and he uses his sword skills to be fierce and upright, and with Long Yuan, there is a faint dragon that appears to protect himself and defeat the enemy. Seeing that the minions couldn't parry, they shook the "Netherworld White Bone Claw" in their hands and greeted it, and they couldn't open the glue.

Murong Bai saw that there were many ghosts and ghosts on the opposite side, and he thought that he would capture the thief and capture the king first, and he was also a master of the arts. Impermanence opened his hands, borrowing the strength of the sword, his body turned back, opening up the space, Murong Bai withdrew the sword with one hand, a whirl in the air, standing in the middle of the field, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and performing the "splitting the sky and opening the mountain" style from top to bottom, the sword body trembled slightly, and a fire luan rushed out and pounced on impermanence.

Impermanence chuckled, flicked his robe, and countless ghosts rushed out, turning into "ghost fire doves" in the air to meet the fire luan, and there was a mess in the collision, when the dust settled, I saw Murong Bai holding a sword and pressing on Bai Wuchang's body, Bai Wuchang knelt on one knee, and used the ghost whip against the sword body, feeling the heat on the sword body.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm, and I saw Yu Shiji stepping on the seven stars, and using the unsheathed fairy sword to attract the power of heaven and earth.

"Brilliant Tianwei, destroy the evil spirit. ”

The heavenly thunder as thick as a python fell from the sky, smashing directly into the disciples of the Soul Devouring Palace, and the charm of the enemy against Yu Shiji bore the brunt, and a mouthful of blood flew out.

The disciples in the field also suffered countless casualties, Ji Yan and Fu Ji rescued Luo Xingxi and Huang Julai in the hands of ghosts, and Xiao Huang also injured several ghosts.

However, Wu Qi and Wei were still fighting, but seeing that Wu Qi sometimes stabbed the door with a sword, and there was a Canglong attack, Wei was also overwhelmed and showed defeat.

Bai Wuchang gasped and smiled, and said helplessly: "I thought I had caught a few lowly disciples, but I didn't want to run into a thorn in the head, 'Zhanlu' Divine Sword Murong Bai, and a woman who would make the 'Zixiao Tianwei Imperial Thunder Sword Technique', defeated, what should I do?"

I saw that the lower part of Bai Wuchang's mask was opened, and a puff of black smoke came out of his mouth, and everyone only felt that their noses were piercing, and they wanted to cry. When the smoke cleared, a few people were fine, but everyone in the Soul Eater Hall disappeared.

Murong Bai saw that everyone was safe and sound, and let go of his hanging heart. After asking Luo Xingxi and Huang Julai, I learned that they were indeed calculated by the Soul Devouring Palace, and they were brought here to catch them all.

Ji Yan secretly observed Huang Julai, was it an illusion? Now that the ghosts had retreated, the Soul Devouring Bead still had an urge to suck the ghost power, and Qingping trembled in his descendants. But there are no ghosts nearby, huh?

Seeing that there would be no clues after the investigation, they decided to return to Hengyang City.

"Senior Brother Murong, I have something important to report when I return to the inn. Huang Julai caught up with Murong Bai in front of him and said, looking anxious.

......

In the dark village, there is a deathly silence.

In the shadows, the miserable white hand held a fist-sized, scarlet and bewitching bead, but the other hand was hidden in the sleeve robe, looking at a dried corpse lying at his feet, and muttered to himself:

"The fourth 'Blood Soul Bead' has been completed, and these more than 400 people have not died in vain. ”

"Why don't you tell me to kill them, I worked hard, but I changed my mind and let them go, I want a reason!" a figure slowly appeared from the darkness behind, but the tone was cold and merciless.

"Don't worry, this trip must be foolproof, and you have to rely on their righteous help. The man with the Blood Soul Bead in his hand said gloomily.

"Oh?!What do you mean?" The person behind him was also very interested, wanting to hear the man's plan.

"Huh...... Since ancient times, it has been the snipe and the clam that have competed with each other for the fisherman's profit, yes or no, junior brother?"
