Chapter 21 Heavy mist, nine ghosts

The young man who came out of the shadows did not have the same greenness on his face as Ye Qi, and he looked a few years older than Duanmu Qiu.

The man was a long man, and he was dressed in an inky satin robe with a high collar and gold threads, which accentuated his nobility. Her black hair, long as flowing water, was pitch black and dense, and she looked even softer than a woman's.

The handsome face has eyes that are different from Ye Qiqing's, and his eyes are deep, like a deep pool of eternity, making the whole person look even more unfathomable.

"Elder, don't do it. ”

The man stepped out from behind the old man, came to the side, and commanded. Looking at Duanmu Qiu and Ye Qi, who were still on guard in front of him, he smiled kindly.

"The two, in Xia Su Xuan, this is the shepherd, we have no malicious intentions. ”

I hate little white faces that are more handsome than me!

Looking at Su Xuan's smiling face that was brighter than a flower, Duanmu Qiu couldn't be happy.

Pouting, Duanmu Qiu directly ignored the friendliness in his tone and asked bluntly.

"If you don't have malicious intent, why do you stay behind the shadows all the time, if it weren't for my keen magic probe, maybe you wouldn't be out all the time?"

"Ridiculous, this is my shepherd's place, but you rushed in, what is your intention?

The shepherd who was standing on the side, when he heard Duanmu Qiu say this, the two clusters of eagle eyebrows stood together, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

Fortunately, Su Xuan took a step forward and stepped in front of Mu Lao, blocking his impulse to make a move.

"Two, although the shepherd is a herdsman, but has been outside, after returning today, I found that the clansmen disappeared without traces, and the temper is understandable, please forgive me. ”

"You don't know where the other shepherds have gone?"

Without Su Xuan's indication, Ye Qi could see at a glance that the old man who was the first to come out of the shadows frowned into the word "Chuan", and he was anxious in his heart.

"Do you think that we made the shepherds disappear?"

Duanmu Qiu also reacted at this time, recalling that when Mu Lao first came out, his eyes were almost about to breathe fire, didn't he think that he and Ye Qi were the culprits!

This is really a coincidence, the two groups of people believe that the other party has bad intentions, but no one can tell whether someone is lying.

"Hmph, who can guarantee that it isn't?" Mu Lao was stopped by Su Xuan, his mood gradually stabilized, and his mouth was still unforgiving.

Duanmu Qiu clasped his hands, lowered his head and ignored him, not knowing what he was thinking. The shepherd was worried about the clansmen, so naturally he didn't want to speak.

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

Su Xuan rolled up his sleeve painted with cloud ornaments, stretched out his white and slender right hand, and coughed softly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay, I believe that you are not the masterminds behind the scenes, after all, it is the same fourfold magic formula, and it is not possible for the two of you to complete it silently by making all the shepherds disappear. ”

Su Xuan's words were not polite at all, but at least he was expressing himself to Duanmu Qiu and Ye Qi to convince them.

Seeing that there was no displeasure on the faces of the two, Su Xuan recognized it in his heart, and continued to speak: "Of course, we didn't deliberately hide in the shadows, but we found something, which may be the key to solving the mystery. ”

With that, Su Xuan opened his right hand and showed it in front of everyone.

In the palm of his hand, lying quietly a bug, motionless as if lifeless.

Ye Qi was okay, after all, he had never seen it, he was just curious, but when Duanmu Qiu saw the insect in Su Xuan's hand, his complexion changed greatly, and in an instant, his originally ruddy face turned pale, as if he was greatly frightened.

"This is!" he pointed to the insect in Su Xuan's hand, which seemed to be dead, and his tone was frightened.

It is turquoise, six-winged and eight-legged, oval, and most notably the three pairs of compound eyes on the top of its head, which are as smooth and brilliant as rubies, but they are broken from the center, and the dense cracks destroy the overall beauty.

"Don't worry, all six of its compound eyes have been shattered, and it's too dead to die. Su Xuan saw Duanmu Qiu's gaffe, and he didn't laugh at him, but this thing was too scary, and no one could keep calm after knowing it.

Duanmu Qiu carefully identified it and found that as Su Xuan said, the insect was lying in the palm of his hand, no matter what movement he had, he didn't react, and he couldn't die anymore.

He let out a long sigh of relief, just patting his chest and screaming scary.

Seeing Duanmu Qiu's exaggerated performance, Ye Qi's curiosity was even heavier, and he also preliminarily judged at this time that Su Xuan and the others had no malicious intentions, otherwise they would not have bothered to talk to him, so he stepped forward and said hello.

"In Xia Ye Qi, this is Duanmu Qiu of the Duanmu family, we came to the tomb village to look for the Mu family, mainly for a piece of news. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Duanmu and Brother Ye, and I am fortunate to be happy. Su Xuan saw that Ye Qi took the initiative to show favor, knowing that his sincerity had played a role, and hurriedly returned the salute.

At this time, Duanmu Qiu had already taken out his magic weapon fan and began to study it carefully, and the object of the study was of course the insect in Su Xuan's hands.

While he looked at it, he sighed: "Sure enough, as the book says, the blue color is like jade, the red flame is like a gem, and one corpse has six lives and nine ghosts!"

"Brother Duanmu has also heard of this?"

Duanmu Qiu couldn't show it at this time, but just grinned bitterly: "I saw it in books, but it's all legendary things, just like ordinary people don't see flying immortals, I have never taken it seriously!"

"But it just appeared. When Su Xuan said this, he only smiled bitterly, hid his chin in the high round neck, and shook his head imperceptibly.

Ye Qi looked at the two of them, saying the words "legend" and "impossible" to each other, and he didn't know what dumb riddle he was playing, so he couldn't help but interrupt the two of them.

"Wait a minute, you mean to say that this bug, the Nine Shadow Moths, is a legendary bug, so how did it end up here?"

"Nine ghosts, one corpse and six lives!" The old man, who was originally worried, began to become heavy as he spoke.

"Its six compound eyes represent the ability to take the lives of six people, and when the six compound eyes are exhausted and shattered, it will also die. That's how one corpse and six lives come from!"

Could it be that the Nine Shadow Moths are related to the disappearance of the shepherd family?

Ye Qi looked at the turquoise insect lying quietly in Su Xuan's hand, and couldn't connect it with the horror.

It seems that not only people cannot be disguised, but also insects cannot be disguised.

"This is what we found from the house, but it's too shocking, so ......" The latter words, Su Xuan didn't say that Ye Qi also knew, but just one Nine Shadow Moths can't be said to be shocked, right?

Duanmu Qiu's fright, somewhat because he saw something impossible to see, calmed down and thought about it, a Nine Shadows Moth took the lives of six people at most, and it was not shocking.

Don't?!

Ye Qi raised his head in disbelief, and didn't care about anything else, he pushed open the door with a lot of doubts, and because he pushed hard, a lot of dust fell on the roof.

Inside the house, there was a sea of turquoise, dotted with a lot of red, and there was a feeling of a little red from the green, but the four of them were not in the mood to appreciate it, looking at the layers of nine ghost moths, Ye Qi felt a layer of white sweat behind him.

Forcibly holding back the nausea and nausea discomfort, Ye Qi turned around and closed the door again.

Now he was finally able to understand why Su Xuan was shocked. The scene inside the house is indeed too terrifying.

"In every house?"

"There's something in every house!"

Hearing Su Xuan's affirmative and dignified answer, Duanmu Qiu also put down the one he was studying, and regained his footing as if relieved.

"The Nine Shadows Moth is so mysterious that in my analysis, it is just a simple spiritual attack, and it is not fatal to people who have cultivated to a high level. ”

"Moreover, I have heard in my family that the cultivation of the Mu family is in the tomb, and the higher the cultivation, the thicker and more difficult the tomb will be. I can't do anything if I'm afraid of the Nine Shadow Moths, right?"

Su Xuan heard Duanmu Qiu's analysis and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, I was going to explain to the old man that the Nine Shadow Moths didn't seem to be as terrifying as the legends suggested, or they were just the descendants of the real Nine Shadow Moths, and they could only deal with most ordinary herdsman monks. ”

When the old man heard Su Xuan and Duanmu Qiu's words, hope rekindled in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Then let's go now, the cemetery where the Mu family cultivates, maybe the elders are in the grave and have avoided a catastrophe!"

Ye Qi saw that they were discussing fiercely, and he couldn't understand it for a while, and when he saw that the three of them had set the direction, he opened his mouth to explain his opinion.

"Your focus is on the Nine Shadow Moths and whether there are survivors in the Mu family. But I'm more focused on wanting to know who it is, and what is the purpose of using such means against the herdsman?"

Ye Qi's words were like a basin of cold water, which woke up everyone, and also completely woke up the chaotic pastor.

I saw that his eyes suddenly widened and he screamed.

The key is the means used by the herdsman to control the Xuanfetus beads. These are sinful things, and they are a fatal temptation for the ambitious!"

The shepherd, apparently thinking of something, suddenly became agitated.

"The Xuan Fetus Bead can control the corpse, although the Mu family follows the ancestral teachings and has always only used the corpse of the alien beast as the basis, but in the same way, human beings are also a kind of animal, and they can also be controlled by the Xuan Fetal Bead after death!"

"If you use the Xuan Fetus Bead to control the monks, the consequences will ......"

Ye Qi, Duanmu Qiu and Su Xuan chose to be silent at the same time.

Needless to say, none of them are stupid people, if they use the Xuan Fetus Bead to control the monks, they can become dead monks at the worst, not to mention the monks with higher cultivation, and even the leaders of a faction.

Think about that scheming black cat, if it is under the control of people, what kind of horror will happen?

"Where is the control method of the Xuanfetus Bead!" In Ye Qi's bones, he still retained the justice he had identified when he was on Shiwei Mountain.

The thought of such a method of control falling into the hands of ill-intentioned people is bound to cause great turmoil. He couldn't sit still any longer and asked first.

The old man's cloudy eyes were even more cloudy at the moment.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, there is no point in strictly guarding the secret of the Mu family.

"Also in the cemetery, it has been the patriarchs of the generations, preserved in the graves. Follow me!"

With a wave of his wizened arm, he motioned for everyone to follow.
