Although Yan Chongming and Meng Zhen also had guesses, they were still a little surprised.And Jiang Duyun looked clear, presumably he knew a lot of inside information when he and Qu Youchun were in Xiage together.

Qu Youchun continued: "I found that Xiqiu is Henggongyu, although I was surprised, but also strange, we are obviously brothers and sisters, the same parents, why she is Henggongyu, but I am no different from ordinary people."

Qu Youchun smiled miserably: "Do you know what she told me? She said that she was the child of a scorpion and a heartless man! Because our mother is a scorpion, she and my father gave birth to me with the same blood. Very affectionate, but when she was born, my father had changed his mind. Mother drank my father's blood, buried him in a fish pond, and then gave birth to her."

"At that time, when my mother jumped into the fish pond with us in her arms, she passed on the unique blood-eating technique of Henggong fish to her. She was the one who brought me out of Qiji Kingdom. Over the years, she has been thinking about revenge all the time. .Even the fishbone sword in her hand is made of Dad's spine."

Qu Youchun's eyes were empty, before he thought it was his mother's tragic death, and wanted to take care of his only younger sister, but Xiqiu always liked to sneak back when she was mischievous, so he was very angry.Later, Xiqiu died unexpectedly. He blamed himself and felt guilty every day, and only wanted to find her soul as soon as possible.As a result, seeing her today, Xiqiu has changed, she is full of hatred to tell the secrets of those bullies, and she doesn't want to recognize such an incompetent brother like him anymore.

Literally beats the heart.

"There are so many male fish...all of them..." Meng Zhen wanted to ask those men why they all became male fish.

"Those are not real Henggong Yu, they are just Henggong Yu's puppets. Some of them are really heartbroken, but most of them are not." Qu Youchun said.

"If she made those men's bodies into puppets for revenge, then what is she going to do by extracting their souls?" Through the carved wooden door, in Xiage, Meng Zhen saw Qu Xiqiu sucking the blood of those men with his own eyes. After that, the soul was also extracted.

The four of them were silent for a while, temporarily unable to think of the use of the soul.

"Sword Spirit!" Meng Zhen and Yan Chongming suddenly said at the same time.They all thought of some kind of possibility, and their brows became more and more wrinkled, because they thought more about the soul.

At the beginning of the Sword Market in Tiangong, it was the ghost who disappeared in Fengdu during the Zhongyuan Festival who tried to destroy the sword platform.

Later in Cangwu Sea, when Long Yu faced Zhan Ji Wuxing, the city was full of violent and resentful ghosts.Thinking about it now, although His Royal Highness Long Yu was angry at the time, he would not have slaughtered the city, especially since he was still the prince of the Celestial Clan.

Jisi Riverside, the local custom is to put river lanterns on the night of the Yulan Basin to pray for blessings, because the souls of people there will not return to the underworld after death.

On Yangxu Mountain, there were hundreds of ghosts marching in a uniform manner, and a large number of soldiers who fell into the abyss of Congji later in the melee.

All souls are gone!

The sword spirit is collecting souls!

The two looked at each other, and both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

It is necessary to go out of Qiji Kingdom as soon as possible, and go back to the underworld to have a look.

It will be dawn outside, and the temple only accepts the worship of believers at night, and it is not suitable to go now.Yan Chongming forced Jiang Duyun to take care of Qu Youchun, who was in poor condition, and went out with Meng Zhen.

"Yanshan Jun, is there anything else you can do about You Chun's situation?" Meng Zhen asked, Qu Youchun's health looked very bad.

Yan Chongming frowned and thought for a while, and said: "No. Although he is not a male fish, he has a special physique after all, and he has used forbidden techniques. His spiritual power is exhausted and his body is damaged."

While the two were talking, there was a rush of footsteps from the end of the street. It turned out that a group of women with their families were carrying their burdens, leading their children, and pulling the old man forward.This place in the south of the city is remote and there are not many residents.According to the situation, something happened. The further we go, more and more old women, women, and children are running around.

The two of them performed the breath-obstructing technique, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could be seen from a close distance as two slender men, and before the two of them stepped forward to inquire, a woman was holding a child in her hand, quite surprised He said to the two of them, "How dare you walk on the street so clearly!"

"What happened?" Although Meng Zhen was stunned, he hurriedly asked.

"Oh, how long has it been since you guys went out? Monsters are rampant now, and many young men in the city are missing. Who knows if it will be our turn next, we have to go to the temple to take refuge, and you should hide too." After the woman finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled the child along with the crowd and left.

Young man missing?This must have something to do with Qu Xiqiu.Now these old and young women and children are going to the temple to take refuge, and it is daytime, will the gate of the temple be open?But looking at the situation, this temple is very popular among the people in the city, and they feel that it is a safe place at present.

The two decided to go to the temple to find out. In the twilight of the morning, the whole city was full of people walking hurriedly with their burdens on their backs. They supported each other, and sometimes there were babies crying. There were hardly any men in sight.It seems that what happened in the palace last night is not the first time.

As a result, he detoured half of the royal city and was about to go to the north of the city, but on the way, he found that the royal palace that was frozen last night had been unsealed.The two went in and took a look, but there was no one in the mansion.When they left yesterday, it was still frozen into an ice sculpture, and the outside was covered by an enchantment. Now it has returned to its original state, and the enchantment has been withdrawn.

"Someone once summoned souls here." Yan Chongming stood in an empty garden, picking up a piece of residual flower on the ground that hadn't completely turned into ashes.

Seeing this, Meng Zhen hurried over and saw Yan Chongming's hand was a slender red petal, and frowned: "The other shore summons souls!"

Yan Chongming was also a little puzzled, Meng Zhen took the remaining petal of the flower, looked at it carefully, and said: "It's the Bianhua flower, but it's not Xuanyin Jun's Bianan Evocation."

Xuanyin's soul-calling on the other side used his natal celestial weapon, the red flower on the other side, which was formed by hard work.And the other side flower in front of me is just a normal flower growing on the bank of Wangchuan River.Giving this common flower spiritual power also has the effect of evoking souls.

"This person must have been to the underworld." Meng Zhen said in a deep voice.This kind of flower is only found in the underworld, and it was brought here by people.

"But why did this person come here to summon souls?" Qu Xiqiu took away the souls of those people, and it seemed that he had reached an agreement with the sword spirit.

"It should be to save the people in this city." Yan Chongming said.

"Could it be the priest of the temple?" Meng Zhen still remembered that Jiang Duyun said earlier that the priests of the temple were very worshiped by the people here.

"We'll find out tonight."

The two left the palace and headed north all the way, finally saw a towering mountain peak outside the city, surrounded by mist, and a temple could be vaguely seen on the top of the mountain, which seemed not small.That should be the temple that the people here believe in.

On the stretching mountain road, there are stone steps all over the place, and you can climb up the steps to reach the top of the mountain.At this time, the mountain road was full of people who had come to seek refuge. There were ordinary people, and there were also nobles from the city who could be seen from their clothes. At this time, they all had a devout attitude, bowed step by step, and went to the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there are still people who just arrived, and I don't know if the temple can accommodate them.After discussing with Meng Zhen, Yan Chongming decided not to take the stone steps, but changed direction, riding the wind from the foot of the mountain, and reached the top of the mountain in a short while.

This is the back mountain, the birds chirping in the mountains are quiet, and when we reach the top of the mountain, we find that the whole mountain is covered by a barrier.On the top of the mountain, there are grand and solemn palaces, and the clean buildings look more solemn among the clouds and mist.

The view is an empty flat land, and there is a side hall every few miles on the flat land.Climbing up the steps from the flat ground is the main hall. The whole main hall is in quiet white, especially there are two dark blue deer sculptures standing on both sides of the hall gate, which are lifelike.

Deer and fish carvings can be seen almost everywhere in Qiji Country.

At this time, the temple was brightly lit, but there was no one walking around, the gate leading to the bottom of the mountain was closed, and the crowd waiting outside the gate could still be vaguely seen.

There were multiple layers of restrictions above the temple, and Yan Chongming just stood in the air and glanced down, but did not enter.There is no abnormality here, the rule of the temple is not to open the mountain gate during the day, and you can come in to pray for blessings at night.

"Should we go in?" Meng Zhen looked at the restrictions on the temple. Although there were several layers, they couldn't stop him and Yan Chongming.At this time, there is no one in the temple, so it is okay to go in and have a look.

Yan Chongming took Meng Zhen to find a big whirling tree in the mountains and sat down. The view here is wide, and you can see the crowd in front of the mountain gate, and you can also see the movement inside the temple.

"Wait until night before going in."

Sitting on the tree branch, Meng Zhen felt that Yan Chongming really knew how to choose a place, and the view from this place was really good.The shadows of the trees are whirling, the branches are thick and thick, there is nothing left and right now, so it is better to rest here.

Yan Chongming was in a good mood at this time, and he said to Meng Zhen with a smile on his face, "Let me tell you a story."

"No!" Meng Zhen quickly refused.Then he said, "Are you going to turn me into a pile of bones?"

Yan Chongming saw Meng Zhenna's disgusted face, and then saw that they were sitting on the tree again, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.He still hadn't forgotten the time when Meng Zhen met Baigui Yexing in the Cangwu Sea, lying on a bone tree branch and heard that Shuling told a story all night, and then almost fell into the snake's nest.No wonder he always had a deep aversion to storytelling.

"Sit over and don't fall." Yan Chongming stretched out his hand and pulled Meng Zhen closer to him.

Yan Chongming simply put his hands behind his head and lay directly on the tree trunk. He had slender limbs and wrapped his black clothes. He just lay down casually like this, and there was an indescribable sense of freedom out of thin air.

At this moment, with a smile on his face, he looked at Meng Zhen and said, "It's still early, do you want to lie down?"

Meng Zhen was sitting next to him, and after listening to his words, his back straightened even more, he turned his eyes away and tried not to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "No need."

Yan Chongming saw that Meng Zhen's upright posture was a little funny, so he closed his eyes.

Meng Zhen didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw Yan Chongming close his eyes.Yanshan Jun is no longer the indifferent and alienated Yanshan Jun he used to be, or he hasn't changed, the indifference is still there, but it's gone temporarily.

During the time they spent together, he could always be seen smiling.Meng Zhen still remembered the first time he saw him smile on the street in Cangwuzhihai, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his twinkling eyes, and he was almost dazzled.In fact, no matter how many times he watched it, he always thought Yan Chongming looked really good when he smiled.

But this is like a dream, and sooner or later he will wake up.All his memories of Yan Chongming have always been that his face was indifferent, his behavior was alienated, and sometimes he would even reprimand him coldly. He was as cold as a moon, with a noble heart, so good that no one would feel jealous, and he just wanted to worship.No matter which one, there is no such smiling face.

It is true that Lord Yanshan grew up in the Heavenly Palace when he was young, and later lived in seclusion in the Jingling Palace outside the Jiuchongtian, probably because he rarely had the opportunity to travel around. Now he walks around like this, and often even runs around like a mortal.Perhaps invisibly contaminated with human touch.
