Sensing the cold aura approaching, Xia Ling did not stop playing the piano.

With the help of the power of the moon, the silver threads of the soul-asking song can be extended to all parts of heaven and earth.

As she expected, the breath of these missing people seemed to be blocked by something, and Wen Lingqu could not trace the whereabouts of their souls.

But... the strange thing is that their breathing was interrupted at one place.

The place the silver thread pointed to was the temple to the east of the capital city.

There must be something wrong with this...

The evil spirits and ghosts gradually gathered around, and Yue Chenzhi and the others became more alert, but they did not forget Xia Ling's instructions and did not act rashly.

Seeing that those lonely ghosts and evil spirits had already entered the courtyard barrier, Xia Ling summoned Xiao Tian and signaled, "Xiao Tian, ​​go help your sister catch all these lonely ghosts."

She didn't have a detailed understanding of Xiao Tian's strength, but with his ability to easily control seventh-level magical beasts, it was definitely more than enough to deal with these wandering ghosts in the world.

"Yeah." Xiao Tian responded and floated out of the bracelet obediently.

As soon as they appeared, those wandering ghosts and even the evil spirits that gathered here were like they had encountered some terrifying devil, and their first reaction was to run away?

Seeing this, Xia Ling plucked the strings of the zither lightly, and a wave of sound spread out.

In an instant, the sound waves turned into an invisible barrier that blocked the escape routes and trapped them in the spiritual sound formation.

And Xiao Tian did not disappoint her. He caught all the wandering ghosts and even evil spirits around him in just a moment, just like catching ants.

He crumpled it into a small ball like a piece of paper, and the black chains transformed from his own strength accurately bound their lifelines.

As if they felt their death was approaching, they began to wail and beg for mercy.

"Woo woo, please spare us."

"Sir, we are wrong. We didn't mean to break in here. We were just attracted by the music."

"Yes, yes. I died a miserable death in life. How miserable it would be if I were to die a miserable death after death as well."

"Lord Disaster, Elf Girl, please spare me!"

"I don't want to die!"

"........."

Xia Ling was given a headache by the noise. There were too many and too many voices, and she couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Not intending to endure it, Xia Ling raised his hand and waved out a stream of spiritual energy, "Shut up, everyone."

Seeing that Xia Ling was in a bad mood, Xiao Tian glared at them with an obvious warning.

As if they were extremely scared of Xiao Tian, ​​the ghosts that were originally making a lot of noise suddenly stopped making noise and became timid.

Xia Ling was not surprised to notice this. Not only ghosts and evil spirits, but even monsters were very afraid of Xiao Tian.

She has not found the reason for this yet. Perhaps she will have to wait until it recovers its memory to solve the mystery.

Xia Ling didn't think about it too much. He stopped what he was doing and said in a calm voice, "If you don't want to be scared to death, then tell me about the unusual movement in the capital. Tell me what you know."

“This…” The hanged man tilted his neck, a trace of fear appeared on his face covered with blood and tears, and his eyes dodged: “We really don’t know! Let us go!”

"Really?" Xia Ling looked at the evil spirit that lingered on it and the resentment of the little girl, and said coldly, "Xiao Tian, ​​swallow it."

This kind of scum who committed so many evil things in his life deserves to not be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"Okay." Xiao Tian nodded slowly and floated in front of the hanged ghost, surrounded by black fog.

The hanged ghost didn't even have time to scream before he was completely swallowed up by Xiao Tian and ceased to exist.

But the crunching sound of chewing was so obvious that it made people shudder.

The ghosts and evil spirits who witnessed this scene became extremely frightened, and some even began to tremble.

Xia Ling sat on a nanmu chair, leaning his elbow on the piano table, his palm supporting one side of his face, and said lazily: "If you don't tell me who will die next, I can't guarantee it, okay?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" A female ghost in white stood up, holding a dead baby in her arms and with a bloody hole in her stomach.

She seemed to be extremely frightened, her whole body was shaking, and her voice was trembling: "If I tell you, can you let my child go?"

child?

It seems that he is a resentful ghost who is unable to enter reincarnation because of his strong obsession.

Xia Ling glanced at the dead baby in her arms, which was not even a ghost, and sighed: "Of course."

The ghost girl lowered her head, suppressing her fear. "I don't know the details about the disappearance of people in the capital. I only know that they will take action on a day with strong yin energy, and take those humans to a temple in the east of the city. It seems... it seems that the next time they decide to take action will be the fifteenth day of the Zhongyuan Festival."

Temple in the east of the city... Ghost Festival.

Xia Ling narrowed his eyes. The place where the silver thread was interrupted just now was the temple in the east of the city. There was indeed something wrong.

As for the Ghost Festival, it has been mentioned several times. It seems that we need to shift the focus here.

Lin Xingfan, who was originally watching, suddenly thought of something after listening to what the ghost girl said. He held his chin and said, "Junior Sister, I heard from those vendors today that the temple fair for the Ghost Festival is held in the temple in the east of the city. It seems that there may be a stronghold there. Why don't we go and take a look?"

Xia Ling thought for a moment and said, "Of course I have to go, but not now."

"Why?" Lin Xingfan's idea was very simple. Since he had found the clue, he had to check it out immediately.

Qi Huai understood Xia Ling's meaning, "Instead of alerting them now, it is better to wait for them to come out of their cave and capture them in one fell swoop."

Lin Xingfan was a little worried: "Does that mean we have to wait until three days later? Will it be too late?"

While they were discussing, the female ghost whispered, "They only come to the capital at specific times... Sometimes they go to other places through magic circles, and there are humans helping them observe the movements of the capital. They probably already know that we are in the capital, and they won't be fooled."

"Magic circle?" Simu Feng's focus was here. "Do you know where the magic circle is located?"

The female ghost shook her head and said, "Half a month ago, they slaughtered us wandering weak ghosts. We barely managed to escape the strangulation... I don't know what happened in the past half a month. I only know that half a month ago, the places they went in and out the most were the temple in the east of the city and the house of a wealthy businessman."

Several people looked at each other. Although they had thought that someone was helping them secretly, they did not expect the scope to be so wide.

Yue Chenzhi took a step forward, still not forgetting to be polite, and raised his hand to greet: "Miss, can you tell me the exact location of this rich businessman's residence?"

The female ghost was obviously a little afraid of them getting close. She took a few steps back and stuttered: "It's on Dongyan Road in the west of the city. The largest one... There are two golden stone lions at the door. That's all I know."

Xia Ling didn't mean to force her, "Okay, wait a moment."

As he said this, he smiled and looked at the other ghosts and evil spirits, "It's your turn now. If you don't speak up now, you may not have another chance?"
