Chapter 163 Rivers and Lakes ([-]) Xuangu
Ming Xu lowered her head and said softly "I'm sorry".

Ming Qi wanted to reprimand him again, but seeing that he couldn't say anything like this, he was so angry.

At this time, some subordinates approached, Ming Qi immediately put away his emotions and pretended nothing happened.

"Eldest son, the things have been basically collected, and you can leave at any time."

Ming Qi glanced at his respectful subordinates, and ordered: "Understood, let's go quickly, don't make any noise."

After taking the order, his subordinates immediately withdrew.

Ming Qi turned his head to look at the people on the side, didn't want to say anything more, and reminded before leaving: "Wipe off the blood on your face, it will be troublesome to explain if someone sees it."

The entire family was massacred without a sound, and this group of men in black came and went without a sound, without stopping.

When Ye Chen and the others checked one by one and finally arrived at this house, there was no one alive in this house.

"Why is this happening again? What is the origin of that group of people? What do they want?" Ye Chen looked at the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, feeling angry and helpless.

Chu Ruxue briefly checked the deceased as usual, and said while looking: "Who knows, it feels like they kill people for fun, and I have never seen these families lose anything."

Not for money, not for fame, what is that for?Is it just to add a bit of haunted rumors to the Blood Cloud Strange Scroll?

"How, is there any other abnormality in the corpse?"

Chu Ruxue shook her head, "Same as before, the only abnormality is the time of death. The blood is very fresh, but the body has already started to swell and turn green. The time of the two is not consistent."

Judging from the color of the blood stains, these people died within an hour, but their bodies were already very swollen, and even had blisters in severe cases. This is a change that only occurs one day after death, so the time of the two is not the same.

Ye Chen frowned, and asked, "Is there still no reason?"

"No, the body doesn't show any signs of being processed."

It seems that this trip is fruitless, Ye Chen sighed, looked around the miserable situation, and said angrily: "It's all caused by those people! I've hated guys in black all my life!"

Chu Ruxue was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously looked down at her clothes—well, luckily it wasn't black.

"Forget it, let's quietly reveal the news here, and let's find the next place quickly."

Ye Chen hurriedly prepared to pull Chu Ruxue away, but she suddenly paused and did not follow immediately.

Facing Ye Chen's suspicious gaze, Chu Ruxue opened her mouth, and after a few moments of silence, she asked endlessly, "That's... have you ever thought about it, if..."

What if he was already dead?

"No," Ye Chen interrupted her directly, and said calmly: "There is no if, and this topic is not worth discussing. Are you a little tired? Why don't you find an inn here to rest, and I'll go down first." a location."

"No need," Chu Ruxue shook her head immediately, avoiding the topic, "Let's go, it's not good to stay here for too long."

The two left the house together, stepped into the night, and continued their investigation.

On the other side, when Ming Qi and the others returned to Xuangu, it was already daylight.

The subordinates handed in the harvest of this trip, and briefly reported the situation by the way. The blood cloud scroll was also handed over to the dedicated staff, and prepared to let the next selected family get it by "coincidence".

The task is completed, and the action has temporarily come to an end.

Next is free time, Ming Qi leaves to go back to rest.

An old man suddenly appeared to block his way, with a food box in his hand, he saluted Ming Qi and Ming Xu and said, "My lords, it's time to take medicine today."

The old man seemed to be walking silently, and his breath was steady, which showed that he had great internal strength, and he was no ordinary person.

Ming Qi saw the man's expression changed, he waved his hands and said, "Understood, let's put it over there first."

The old man didn't move, and emphasized in a kind tone: "Please eat quickly, you two, or the owner of the valley will be worried, and I can't explain it."

Then the old man took out the medicine in the food box, lifted it up respectfully and handed it up.

Ming Qi looked at the soup, then at the smiling old man, his expression was not good, but he reached out to take it in the end, and drank it in front of his face.

The old man smiled, then walked over and handed another bowl to Ming Xu, but Ming Xu didn't say anything, just took it and finished it quietly.

After finishing the decoction, the old man took out another plate of elixir from the food box and handed it to Ming Xu, beckoning to eat it together.

Ming Qi glanced at the plate, and asked casually: "How long has it been, will he continue to eat this?"

"The third son is not in good health, he should eat more."

"I think he has been in good health in recent years."

The old man was still smiling, and finally said slowly: "This is what the owner of the valley wants."

Ming Qi immediately kept silent, looked away, and ignored this side.

After watching Ming Xu eat all the medicine, the old man bowed to the two of them again, and said respectfully, "You two, rest early." Then he left slowly with the food box.

Seeing the person walking away, Ming Qi suddenly turned around and asked, "How much did you eat?"

Ming Xu spit out the pill that was secretly hidden in his mouth just now, and replied: "Two."

Two means that only one was missing, but there is really no way, you can't hide much from that guy, or it will be even worse if you are discovered.

"Forget it, let's keep two, if you can eat one less, it's one, if it's a good thing, there will be ghosts..." Ming Qi reminded by the way: "Remember to hide it immediately, so that the old fox won't find it. "

"it is good."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Ming Qi was inexplicably a little upset, so he raised his voice and said, "Don't answer so lightly, you took this medicine, be more concerned, do you want to die or live?"

As soon as this question was asked, Ming Xu was stunned for a while, until he noticed that the expression of the person in front of him was getting colder and colder, he quickly replied: "I want to live."

The phrase "want to live" can be stunned for so long, is this really a fake want to live?

Ming Qi was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he couldn't say anything, so he turned around and walked away at last, "I don't care about you!"

Ming Xu watched him walk away angrily, and didn't know what to feel.

Want to die or want to live, no one should want to die, but why should they live?for what?There must always be a reason. Living without a reason is too exhausting.

After Ming Qi's anger dissipated, he wanted to come out to find someone, and finally found Ming Xu in a village near Xuangu without accident.

He was sitting under a tree by the river, looking at the school on the other side from afar.

In summer, the sky is cloudless, and the sun shines through the layers of leaves to form beams of light on Mingxu. The sun is mottled, and the breeze blows the branches and leaves swaying, and the light patterns sway accordingly. Bewildered eyes.

The mottled sunlight, sparkling water waves, and the sound of students reading from the other side, reminds people of the word "time is quiet".

Thinking of this, Ming Qi suddenly laughed at himself—people like them don't deserve a quiet life.

"You seem to like this place very much, do you like children?" Ming Qi walked to Ming Xu's side, looked at the school together and said casually.

The students in the school on the other side are not particularly old. The children hold the books and read like adults. They really look cute.

Ming Xu thought for a while, and replied earnestly, "I like the sound of their reading."

"The sound of reading?"

This answer was a bit unexpected, Ming Qi listened carefully for a while, and was about to ask, when suddenly familiar footsteps came from behind, interrupting the topic, and the two immediately fell silent.

Xuan Gu's attendant came slowly, stood still and saluted and said: "Young masters, the owner of the valley is back, please go."

Hearing the news, Ming Qi and Ming Xu looked at each other, both of them looked unhappy—Old Xuan didn't come back often, but as long as he came back, nothing good would happen.

However, the order had to be obeyed, and the two returned to Xuangu together with the attendants.

The road was quiet and silent, Xuangu was dark all year round, even in summer it was very cold, and outsiders regarded this place as an unknown place.

Ming Qi was very annoyed by Elder Xuan's summoning this time, and wanted to remind Ming Xu secretly, but when he turned his head, he found that he didn't know where he had gone.

Ming Qi frowned slightly, turned to look back and found that this person had stopped not far away at some point, staring at a place lost in thought.

When he walked over to find out why he was lost in thought, Ming Qi frowned, pulled him away, and said in a low voice: "Why are you staring at this place again? It's a forbidden area, stay away, or you will be punished." .”

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Ming Xu paused, subconsciously trying to explain: "I..."

"Don't tell me that you heard someone calling you there again. Only you can hear it. I wonder if the medicine will damage your brain. Go away."

Ming Xu didn't reply any more, she put away her thoughts and left together.

The forbidden area is located in a huge crevice in the Xuan Valley, and the deep and narrow roads stretch all the way down. No one knows what it looks like underneath.

It's just that when Ming Xu passes by, he can always hear some voices coming from inside, which seem to be very close at a distance, like someone calling his name but not at all.

Strange, indistinct, familiar voices, he was the only one who could hear them...
