Being the young master of the dead demon world has a tendency to be masochistic

"How many were killed in total?" Xiao Yunyi asked.

"Total... two in total." Ou Fengsheng's eyes were dodgy, and he didn't dare to linger on Xiao Yunyi's body for a moment.

After finishing speaking, Ou Fengsheng and several Ou's disciples immediately left and disappeared from Xiao Yunyi's sight.

Bai Xiyuan lowered her head slightly, and said sadly, "I'm sorry, I've already told them, but they still don't listen."

Xiao Yunyi was startled, calmed down a little, turned to look at Bai Xiyuan, seeing her talking to him in a low voice, he thought it was his eyesight.

"Forget it, it's none of your business."

Now that what has to be said has been said, they cannot control whether the listener is willing to accept it.Although Xiao Yunyi was still angry, he didn't intend to blame him at all.

After Bai Xiyuan sent the woman back to the house, the crowd who had come to watch dispersed.

That night, the original calm was restored.Xiao Yunyi stayed alone on the street, looking for the traces left by that crazy young man.Of course, there is also that inexplicably daunting shadow that naturally shuns away when seeing it.

When Xiao Yunyi returned to that weird alley again, Mr. Bai left without saying goodbye.His eyes scanned the empty alley, and suddenly stopped on something on the ground.

That thing is the playbook of "The Crazy Young Master Guards Wangyou Mountain".

Xiao Yunyi paused for a moment, then bent down to pick up the things, gently wiped off the dust on the playbook, and put it away in his sleeves.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the gradually fading night, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly, hoping that the worries in his heart would not happen.

Early the next morning, shocking news came from the village.According to what the villagers said, Xiao Yunyi and others learned that an old man and a young man drove west for no reason.The old man was usually in good health, and he did not suffer from any serious diseases before his death.The young man was very lively and talkative on weekdays, he was deeply loved by the folks and elders, and he never offended anyone on weekdays.

For no reason, overnight, the two passed away in vain.

Just after receiving the news, Xiao Yunyi and all the disciples of the Immortal Family went straight to the deceased's house to check the situation.They checked the body and found that the body of the deceased was intact and there was no trace of injury, which shows that they were not subjected to violence before their death.

There was no reason to find out from the deceased, so Xiao Yunyi could only divert his attention temporarily and walk around the village to have a look.

Xiao Yunyi walked aimlessly, and he came to the main river of the Blood River.As in the past, Blood River was still deserted, but this time, he heard the sound of children playing.

Following the sound, Xiao Yunyi saw a few children squatting on the ground, as if they were playing a game.

The children picked up dry branches, drew a circle on the soil with the branches, and wrote "Wu Guo", "Zheng Guo" and "Zhou Guo" in the center of the circles.

The three children put a few equal number of pebbles in their respective cities, namely ten "souls" and ten "people".

One of the fat boys with a round face said: "Who will come first? This round is the Soul Slaughter round."

The girl with double braids raised her hand and said, "I'll come, I'll come!"

The fat boy handed the girl the sieve.The girl put the sieve in the palm of her hand, put her hands together, and shook it vigorously, and said while shaking: "The person who cuts the soul kills one soul, the city loses one soul, and Yin and Yang are at odds."

After finishing speaking, she threw the sieve to the ground, throwing out the number "three".

The fat boy said: "Take three 'soul' stones from your city."

The girl took three "soul" stones from "Zheng Guo" and placed them outside the circle.The fat boy went on to say: "Three souls are missing from your city, and people are about to destroy souls!"

"Hmph, in the massacre game, I will definitely get 'three' points, and then my city will be able to reconcile yin and yang!" The girl pouted and said displeasedly.

Another naive, buck-toothed boy said: "Which one of you didn't say that? But every time you can't throw it."

The girl was even more unconvinced when she heard this, and she secretly vowed that she would definitely get the same number of points.

The two boys took turns tossing the sieve, each scoring different points.

The big fat boy cleared his throat and said, "It's the massacre game now, you come first!" He handed the sieve to the girl, who put it in the palm of her hand and made another movement of swinging up and down.Immediately, she made a hard throw, and unexpectedly, she got a '3'.

The girl couldn't believe her eyes, she hit "3"!When she reconfirmed the points she got, she shouted excitedly and said, "The one who slaughters people, kills one person, ghosts roam the city, and yin and yang are reconciled."

The girl took out the three "person" stones in "Zheng Guo", and now, there are only seven "souls" and seven "people" left in her city.

"This game, I won! I really won! Who said that I wouldn't hit the same number of points." The girl looked at the buck-toothed boy happily, and the buck-toothed boy lowered his head in shame.

The fat boy also sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, you win! Let's play the next round!"

Xiao Yunyi, who was watching from the side, saw that the game was quite interesting, he leaned over, knelt down, and said to the children: "How to play this game? Can you tell brother?"

Seeing the unfamiliar Xiao Yunyi, the fat boy not only showed no fear at all, but also said enthusiastically: "This game is divided into two rounds, namely the soul-slaying round and the human-slaying round. In the soul-slaying round, the soul-slaying messenger will come to our city, Kill the 'souls' with the same number of points as the sieve. It is the same in the slaughter game, the ultimate goal of this game is to keep the 'souls' and 'people' in the city equal. Otherwise..."

"What will happen?" Xiao Yunyi asked.

"If one of the 'souls' and 'humans' in the city is more numerous than the other, it will be backlashed by the majority, and our city may fall into a situation where there are all 'humans' or 'souls' ’” the girl continued.

Xiao Yunyi nodded in understanding, and said, "Then the city will be at odds with yin and yang, right?"

The buck-toothed boy nodded frequently and said, "That's right!"

Xiao Yunyi said silently several times in his heart: "The person who kills the soul kills one soul, the city loses one soul, and the yin and yang are out of harmony. The person who slaughters people kills one person to death, ghosts and ghosts roam the city, and the yin and yang are reconciled."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "The one who kills the soul is said to be a living person in the previous sentence, but the latter sentence says that the one who kills people is also a living person? Why not ghosts butcher people?"

"Ghosts can't kill people at all! Besides, the big brother who taught me to play this game before said that the soul killer and the murderer are originally the same person." The big fat boy said patiently.

the same person?

Xiao Yunyi instantly understood what he meant.Taking that girl as an example, she took away the three "souls" first, and then took away the three "people". Therefore, she is a soul beheader and a human butcher.

Therefore, the only one who can control the harmony of the entire city from the beginning to the end is that girl!

If you apply the logic of this game to recent events, it makes sense.

Ou Fengsheng exterminated two ghosts last night, and it just so happened that two people died today for no reason.This village seems to have some kind of power controlling the number of ghosts in the village to achieve a certain balance.If you link this matter with the game, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Once the number of ghosts in the village is reduced, people will die for no reason, maintaining the so-called "harmony of yin and yang".

Although Ou Fengsheng was the one who killed the ghost, he definitely wasn't the one who killed the two villagers who died for no reason this morning.

But that unknown force!That stock is something that kills souls and also kills people.Ou Fengsheng brought bad news to the villagers only because he unintentionally broke the long-standing harmony.

Therefore, in order to keep the number of "souls" and "people" equal, that force killed the living people to fill the gap in the number of ghosts.

The problem to be solved now is to find out the cause of death of the villagers and the force that controls the number of souls in the village.

If the number of ghosts in the village is reduced again and the village loses its balance again, then the thing that restores the village's balance will also surface.

After Xiao Yunyi figured it all out, he went straight back to the village and told everyone the outline of the whole thing.

The three children by the blood river looked blankly at Xiao Yunyi who came and went in a hurry, and then started a new round of games.

After hearing Xiao Yunyi's explanation, the disciples of Xianmen all agreed with it.

"Brother Xiao Yao, we have also gone to investigate the situation near the village these days. The villagers also said that as long as there are Taoist priests coming, people will die for no reason. Brother Xiao Yao's speculation also confirms this." The first person to speak It's Su Ye.

"Yes, it's like a vicious circle. If someone dies, ghosts must be eliminated. Similarly, if souls are eliminated, people will naturally die."

Those villagers didn't know about this matter, so they often performed various large and small rituals to let the Taoist priests destroy the ghosts, but they didn't know that this action would indirectly push themselves into the underworld.

When ordinary Taoist priests came, at most they hurt the ghosts, causing them to enter the villagers' bodies and transfer their pain to the villagers.This will only make the villagers sick for a long time, and it will not threaten their lives.This also explained why the ghosts who followed Xiao Yunyi along the way were either bloody or missing an arm or a leg.

The real troubles are those Taoist priests who are quite cultivated.They cast spells to make the ghosts fly away, which affected the balance of the village, and that force would naturally use killing methods to maintain harmony.

Ji Cheng even supported Xiao Yunyi, saying: "Brother Xiao Yao, what's the plan? I will definitely help."

"There are strategies, but we need everyone's help." Xiao Yunyi said.

In order to greatly reduce the number of ghosts, Xiao Yunyi temporarily subdued the ghosts in the soul-binding net. As long as that force discovered a change in the number of ghosts in the village, he would definitely take action.At this stage, the villagers must stay at home, and Xianmen disciples and casual cultivators must work hard to protect the safety of the villagers at this stage.

The ploy had to be executed flawlessly, for if it was neglected, or if something went wrong in the process, someone would die.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, for the first time since the experience, everyone got rid of the grudges in their hearts and was willing to join hands to protect the villagers.
