If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

"Dead?" Han Xiu was stunned for a moment. "The Hongye we know is an earth-bound spirit. If you have to say she is a dead person, you can say it."

Jiu Tun, who was originally careless, immediately put away the frivolity on his face when he heard Han Xiu's words, and his brows were filled with nervousness: "Where did you see her?"

"Beyond Qingming's house." Under Jiu Tun's menacing gaze, Han Xiu was so nervous that he couldn't say a word, and the words he had originally planned disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"Outside Seimei's house. Outside Seimei's house!" Shuten repeated twice, with an uncontrollable excited expression on his face, "That's where Hongye lost her life!"

The good news that Hongye is still alive in this world dazzled Jiuten, but after the crazy joy passed, Jiuten suddenly remembered what Han Xiu had just said - Hongye was taken away by the ghost-faced man!But why did the ghost-faced man grab the red leaves?How did he find Hongye?

"Why did the ghost-masked man take Hongye away?" Jiu Tun stared at them fiercely with copper bell-like eyes, "You better not lie!"

Shuten finally erupted with a powerful aura, and the surrounding atmosphere froze. Even Ibaraki, who was lazily leaning aside with his arms folded, became excited because of this change in Shuten. At this time, Shuten was completely different from the previous drunkard. Different from each other!

A drop of sweat couldn't help falling from Han Xiu's forehead, and he didn't even dare to wipe it off under the tremendous pressure.After a long time, I finally heard Han Xiu's steady voice: "Because we went to find Hongye specially, and asked her to persuade you."

"What!" Jiu Tun's eyes cracked, "Shu Zi dare you!"

As soon as the words fell, the angry Jiu Tun slashed at Han Xiu with his palm.Even though Han Xiu had been prepared for a long time, he still couldn't dodge the angry blow completely. His shoulder was still swept by Jiu Tun's palm, and he stepped back several steps in a row, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the little deer man's muscles tensed all over his body, the antlers pointed directly at Jiutun, his hooves kept kicking the ground, and there was a rapid panting from his nose, as if he would rush towards Jiutun in the next moment.Jue also clenched his lips and took the mace in his hand that had been resting on his shoulder.Even the weakest firefly grass tightly held the grass in its hand.

A fight seemed imminent.

"My friend, the most important thing now is the whereabouts of the red leaves." Ibaraki quietly appeared next to Jiu Tun, and suppressed Jiu Tun's anger with just one sentence, "Although these people are weak, they are not as good as that ghost face." There are a lot of interactions with people.”

Jiu Tun snorted coldly: "If I remember correctly, the purpose of these people looking for me is to let me help find that ghost-masked man." Having said that, he no longer targeted Han Xiu and others, but he also had no intention of Talking to them, it seems that the next moment they will leave to find the ghost-faced man who took Hongye.

In order to stimulate Jiu Tun to speed up the search for the ghost-masked man, and to warn them not to fall for the ghost-masked man's tricks, Han Xiu quickly summed up the characteristics of the ghost-masked man before they left: " The ghost-faced man can manipulate other people's emotions, and the method should be to find ways to make other people eat the pills he made."

"Are you trying to say that Hongye may have taken that pill?" Jiu Tun snorted coldly, "I remember you said before that the ghost-masked man would amplify other people's negative emotions infinitely."

Although these two sentences basically have the same meaning, but for some reason, Han Xiu suddenly felt a little uneasy: "It is true, those people I have seen have done irreparable things because they could not control their emotions. .If you don't want Hongye to be like this, you'd better find her quickly."

Jiu Tun snorted again with disdain: "You don't know how gentle and strong Hong Ye is, even if she is really tricked, she won't do anything harmful!" Speaking of which, Jiu Tun's light brown face appeared There was a hint of tenderness, but when his peripheral vision turned to Han Xiu and the others beside him, his stern expression returned.

"Hey! Look for me too!" Jiu Tun commanded Han Xiu arrogantly, "If you find it before me, you must come and let me know. Otherwise..." Jiu Tun finished his words here, and then his expression changed, He fiddled with the wine gourd seemingly casually, and the thick tree beside him fell in response.

Han Xiu and the others were overwhelmed by Jiu Tun's strength and were speechless in shock.Jiu Tun didn't care about their reaction, he had already made his words very clear, even if they didn't dare to violate his meaning.Then Jiu Tun jumped up and disappeared in front of their eyes in an instant.

White-haired Ibaraki looked at his friend's disappearing figure and let out low-pitched laughter. Hotarucao and the others standing behind him couldn't see his expression clearly.

"That, that," Yingcao was taken aback by Ibaraki's laughter. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly a wry smile. He walked to Ibaraki to comfort him, "Thank you for speaking for us just now."

When Ibaraki felt someone approaching, he restrained the expression on his face. When Hotaru really approached him, all he saw was a pale and expressionless face.

"I'm not speaking for you," Ibaraki glanced haughtily at the firefly grass that reached his chest, and quickly turned his gaze back to the direction where Jiu Tun left, "I stopped my friend because your existence is very different. ordinary meaning."

Yingcao asked curiously, "What kind of meaning?"

Ibaraki didn't even look at him, and said coldly and cruelly: "The only function of you ants is to stimulate my king to return." Yingcao's head was deeply lowered, her whole body was shaking, as if she was crying.Ibaraki just stood quietly, staring at the direction Shuten left, with long and far-reaching eyes.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound from the leaves above his head, and Shuten appeared in front of everyone again. He clearly saw Ibaraki who was still here, but he went straight past Ibaraki and came to Han Xiu.

"Save this hair." Jiu Tun stood still in front of Han Xiu, and pulled out a fiery red hair from his head, "It will always guide my direction."

Han Xiu took the thick hair in silence and put it away.After Jiu Tun watched him finish all this, he quickly disappeared from their eyes.Only this time his voice came from the air: "Ibaraki is not going fast?"

A heartfelt smile bloomed from the corner of Ibaraki's mouth, "Here we come", a low and magnetic voice also floated in the air, and the white-haired monster disappeared after the sound fell.

Yingcao still bowed his head deeply, and his violently shaking body showed the intense emotions in his heart.The little deer man silently walked to his side, and gently rubbed Yingcao with his furry body: "Don't be sad, although we are relatively weak now, as long as we work hard, we will definitely become stronger!"

Yingcao raised her head abruptly when she heard the little deer man's voice, her big azure blue eyes glistened, there was no trace of tears on her face, and the only thing on her fair face was the blush from excitement: "Well, it will become stronger But why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Yingcao felt very strange about what the little deer man said, but he didn't get too entangled. He waved his hands indifferently, and then excitedly said to the little deer man: "Say it! Tell me! Do you think Ibaraki is very affectionate?!!"

Little Deer Man didn't expect Hotaru to react like this to Ibaraki's words, and he was stunned for a moment.

Yingcao didn't care what the deer boy's reaction was, and kept talking about his feelings: "Isn't he very domineering when he said, 'The only function of you ants is to stimulate my king's return'! Obviously I am a particularly proud But the person who never left was always by Jiu Tun's side, he must have a particularly deep feeling for Jiu Tun!"

The more Yingcao said, the more excited she became: "There's also the 'here' in the last sentence, and, there's that smile when he heard Jiu Tun call him to go together! It's really beautiful!"

"However, Shuten can't respond to Ibaraki's feelings." Hotaru's high-pitched voice suddenly sank, "It would be great if Jiuten loved Ibaraki instead of Hongye!"

Little Deer Man and Han Xiu were so startled by Yingcao's speech that they were speechless. This was the first time they had seen Yingcao's enthusiastic expression.But there seems to be something wrong with the object of his fanaticism, he seems to particularly like other people's love stories?

Jue got used to it, and after Jiuten and Ibaraki left, she relaxed and picked up her mace, and said impatiently to Yingcao: "Enough! Although Ibaraki looks very gay, but It has nothing to do with you!"

Yingcao was not shocked by Jue's cold words at all, but continued excitedly: "Right, right! Xiaojue, you think so too!"

Feeling even more helpless after seeing this, he walked to Yingcao with a cold face and slammed him on the head: "Enough! Hurry up and find the ghost-masked man! The sooner you find it, the better!"

"Well, I got it!" Yingcao pouted, very unhappy, "Xiaojue is so fierce!"

Han Xiu shook the goose bumps on his body. If Yingcao was a girl, there would be no problem with such a tone, but he is not!He is a boy who can only heal and cry!Thinking of this, Han Xiu shuddered quietly again, but at the same time, he also found that the little deer man and Jue didn't have any strange expressions at all, it seemed that he was too surprised.Another chill hit, Han Xiu tried his best to hold back, look, you can do it too, Han Xiu smiled bitterly and mocked himself.

"Jue is right. We have now received the help of Shuten and Ibaraki, but we can't relax. Why don't we think about where the ghost-faced man is most likely to appear."

Everyone thought hard, but they knew so little about the ghost-faced man that they couldn't deduce it at all.The little deer man pondered for a long time, and finally said: "It seems that he will appear wherever we pass."

Han Xiu was speechless, he looked up at the sky and replied helplessly: "It seems to be true."

"Brother! Brother! Hurry up! I've seen them! They're right ahead!" A cheerful voice belonging to a little girl came to everyone's ears and caught their attention.

"Sister, don't worry, first check if there is any danger around them before approaching." A young child's voice also sounded, "Oh, forget it, you stay there, I will lead you there."

"Then brother, why don't you hurry up, Master Qingming is in a hurry!" The little girl replied with some reluctance.

Seimei? !Everyone's hearts tensed up. What urgent matter does Qingming have?

The author has something to say: Statement on the villain’s name being changed from “Man in Gray” to “Ghost-Mask Man”: I think it’s a bit bad if the villain always wears the same clothes or clothes of the same color, but his mask is I wear it all the time, so I will call it the Ghost Mask in the future.
