Autumn

"Doctor, how is my son?"

The doctor shook his head, picked up the medicine box and went out.The old woman suddenly grabbed the hem of the doctor's clothes, knelt on the ground and cried out.

"Doctor, think of a way! Save my son!"

"Ma'am, it's not that I won't help, it's just that there is no way to help." The doctor looked helpless, "Your son's illness is really strange, listen to me, if you ask a Taoist priest or monk to take a look, maybe it will be more useful than me. "

When the old woman heard this, she knew that her son's illness must be caused by evil ways, and she suddenly lost her opinion.While she was in a daze, the doctor got away and fled.The old woman was at a loss looking at her dilapidated small courtyard, where there were many talking neighbors.They were whispering something, the old woman was puzzled but couldn't hear clearly.Judging by their expressions, they must be talking about their son.Bailing Township is the poorest place in the entire Nanyue State, and their family is the poorest family in Bailing Township.My son went out to work with a few young men from the village, and he returned home last month.When he came back, he brought a considerable amount of jewelry and belongings. When he asked him where it came from, he only said that he got it from business.Less than half a month after returning, several people who went with her died one after another for no reason.A few days ago, my son began to lose consciousness. I heard that another person who went with him was also sick, but he was still awake, but he was disturbed by nightmares every night.

"Aunt Wang, I think you might as well go to Qingfeng City."

The person who spoke was old man Li who opened a medicine shop on East Street. He was considered a well-informed person in Bailing Township, and he had to travel here and there in order to buy medicinal materials.

"Breezy City?"

"Yes, Qingfeng City. I heard that there is a Wuwei residence there, the owner's surname is Lu, and it specializes in solving all kinds of strange things."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to Qingfeng City." Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang immediately stood up to pack her luggage, when she suddenly saw her lying son, she turned around and said, "But my son..."

"Go ahead, your son and our neighbors will take care of him."

Seeing what old man Li said, Aunt Wang nodded and immediately went back to her room to pack her luggage.

"I always feel that it's not appropriate for Qing'er to follow that Yin Danlu."

Meng Yue muttered as he cleaned up the dishes.Jinse at the side replied with a smile.

"Then why not? Follow your young master? I think you have a crush on Qing'er, right?"

"I don't. I think it's you who live in nothing. You must have no good intentions."

"Well, I'm really not at ease."

Jinse was still smiling, and Meng Yue said that she had no good intentions, which was the truth.Turning his head to look out the window, his eyes were on Lu Li who was sitting in the yard playing the piano.Today seems to be a homecoming speech, the tone is a little sad, she doesn't like this tone.Jinse thought to herself, especially in this late autumn season.Jinse wrinkled her nose, raised her head and sniffed in the air, it was the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

There is an osmanthus tree at the gate of Wuweiju. Perhaps because this autumn is warmer than previous years, half of the osmanthus flowers on the tree are still exuding a sweet smell.Aunt Wang searched all the way and came under the tree smelling the fragrance.Turning around the thick tree trunk, he stood at the door of Wuweiju.

"My little brother, may I ask where Wuwei lives?"

Although the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was very attractive, Mrs. Wang missed her son, so she just stopped for a while, and then grabbed the young man who had just passed by.

"Here it is."

Looking in the direction of the young man's finger, Aunt Wang saw the plaque hanging on the door lintel, but it was a pity that she could not read.But seeing that the young man didn't look like he was lying, he decided to knock on the door first and ask.

"Little brother, may I ask if there is nothing to live here?"

"That's right, what's the matter with you, ma'am?"

When Aunt Wang heard that there was nothing to do, she let go of the stone in her heart.Seeing the handsome young man in front of him, he expected to be the owner of this place, so he knelt down without even thinking about it.Seeing this posture, Meng Yue suddenly grabbed Aunt Wang, thinking what she was doing today, the aunt would kneel down without saying a few words when she came.But after thinking about it, he guessed that he must be looking for the young master.

"Ma'am, I'd better take you to meet my young master."

When she heard that she wanted to see the son of this family, Aunt Wang became a little suspicious. Could it be that this young man is not the owner of this place?Before she could think about it, Aunt Wang had been dragged into the yard by Meng Yue.

"My lord, this lady is here to look for you."

The sound of the piano ends slowly.

"Meng Yue, go make tea for the auntie."

With a movement of Jinse's figure, she did not know when she had arrived at Aunt Wang's side, and took advantage of the situation to help her sit down.Aunt Wang still hadn't come to her senses, the young man in front of her looked about 20 years old, and she looked as handsome as a girl, but the eyes seemed a little different.And the woman beside her seemed to be about the same age, wearing a crimson dress that made her fair skin, and a pair of black jade-like eyes on her oval face were smiling at her.

"What's the matter with the younger generation, Madam?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Hearing Lu Li calling himself a junior in front of her, Aunt Wang couldn't stand it, "I'm an old country woman, how dare I let the young master call himself a junior."

"Ma'am, you are welcome. In Lu Li's eyes, you are my elder."

"Don't dare, dare not. I really can't bear to be called such a son." Aunt Wang waved her hand as she said, "Your master's surname is Lu?"

"Yes, the surname is Lu, with a single name and one Li."

"Then Mr. Lu, I heard people say that you specialize in solving all kinds of strange things and anecdotes?"

Hearing this, Lu Li was a little surprised, and then showed a wry smile.Jinse on the side raised the corners of her mouth, but did not dare to laugh out loud.

"Auntie, is there any strange news that you want me to solve?"

"To tell you the truth, my son got a strange disease half a month ago, and the doctors couldn't cure it after several visits. They asked me to come to you."

"Can you go into more detail?"

Aunt Wang took the tea from Meng Yue and took a sip impatiently.Then, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, he described in detail what happened to his son when he went out to work and what happened after he came back.Lu Li was silent for a while after listening, and Meng Yue and Jinse who were beside him naturally also heard something strange.

"Master Lu, is there a solution to this matter?"

"Ma'am, this matter is indeed a bit strange, why don't I go to Bailing Township with you tomorrow to have a look."

Bailing Township is in the northernmost part of Nanyue State, and the weather has turned cold since the autumnal equinox.In early winter, heavy snow will wrap the nearby mountains, so it is called Bailing.The most famous thing in Bailing Township is ginseng, but most of the drug dealers are cunning, and the price they buy is not high, but the price they sell is extremely expensive.People in Bailing Township basically make a living by collecting ginseng, and most of the ginseng grows in the deep mountains, where there are many wild animals, which also brings a lot of risks to ginseng mining.What's more, there are not many ginseng that can be sold at high prices, so most of the villagers live in poverty.There are not a few young people who go out to work like Aunt Wang's son.

Standing in front of the bed, Lu Li could feel the breath of the person on the bed was weak, but he was not on the verge of death.There were many people around the yard, they were all whispering, Lu Li was blind, so his ears were particularly sensitive.Among these noisy voices, he vaguely heard another name.

"I wonder if anyone else has gotten sick during this time."

Lu Li suddenly came to the courtyard, and all the whispers gradually disappeared.Their eyes all fell on this slender, handsome young man.After a long time, a voice was heard from the crowd.

"The third child of the Zhang family."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a somewhat wretched appearance. The most noticeable thing was his red bulbous nose.As soon as he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol filled his mouth, which made Meng Yue hide back.

"Uncle, are you talking about the third child of the Zhang family?"

"That's right. They live next door to me, and old man Zhang has only three sons." Uncle Suantou burped, "The eldest son was killed by a wolf while picking ginseng, and the second son worked with a medicinal material dealer the year before last. I went to Dongli Prefecture as an apprentice, leaving only my youngest son by my side."

"I don't know what to call the uncle?"

"My name is Liu Da." Liu Da's eyes were a little blurred, but there was some brilliance, turning back and forth between Lu Li and Jinse, but most of the time he was looking at Jinse, "I heard that the young master is Qingfengcheng Wuwei." The master of the house?"

"It's down."

"So, you can cure Wang Xiang's illness?"

"It's not known yet. I must find the cause."

Liu Da's eyeballs rolled again.

"Cause? I think Wang Xiang and the youngest son of the Zhang family should have the same root cause."

"Oh? Why did Uncle Liu say that?"

"Think about it, there are a lot of young people in Bailing Township who go out to work, but they have never brought a lot of jewelry and property like them when they come back." Liu Da twitched the corners of his mouth and continued, "They have only been out for a few days. Years, how could there be such a harvest?"

"So, Uncle Liu suspects they are stealing or looting?"

"It's hard to say, but seeing how sick and dead they were soon after they came back, it seems that these property came from a wrong place."

"Liu Da! What nonsense are you talking about! My son is upright, much more upright than you, who drinks all day long and flirts with good women!"

Hearing that Liu Da spoke ill of her son, Aunt Wang angrily picked up the shoulder pole in her hand and beat Liu Da.Seeing this, the neighbors all stepped forward to persuade him, and some pointed at Liu Da and scolded him.But even so, no one said Liu Da was lying.Because the third child of the Zhang family is also very sick.

"Uncle Liu, can you show us the way?"

"Are you going to Zhang's house?"

Lu Li nodded, and Aunt Wang anxiously grabbed Lu Li's sleeve.

"Mr. Lu, don't listen to Liu Da's nonsense, our family Wang Xiang will never do anything against nature and reason."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm just going to Zhang's house to have a look. If I can find out the root cause of the disease, I can treat your son as soon as possible."

Seeing what Lu Li said, Aunt Wang let go of her hand and watched Liu Da lead them to Zhang's house.

When the old man Zhang was young, he was a well-known ginseng picker in Bailing Township. With this skill and his diligence and thrift, the Zhang family was considered well-off in Bailing Township. Somewhat decadent.In order to prevent the other two sons from dying, old man Zhang decided to let the second son become an apprentice with a medicine merchant with a decent character.The youngest son stayed at home to take care of the elders and do farm work.

I don't know who instigated it. A few years ago, the youngest son suddenly went out to work with a group of young people, but when he came back, he brought a lot of jewelry and jade.He fell ill suddenly half a month ago. The illness was so strange that he had nightmares all night long. Later, in order to avoid these nightmares, his son simply didn't sleep.Curled up in the room all day, either in the corner or under the table, or in the corner of the bed.

For this matter, old man Zhang invited doctors and Taoist priests, but it was useless.The old woman sat in front of her son's room crying all day long, but old man Zhang couldn't do anything.One day, he was sitting in his yard and sighing, but he heard a knock on the door.Since my son was ill, no one has been to the family except doctors and Taoist priests.Recently, old man Zhang has also been a little desperate. He has never invited anyone to see his son. He really can't think of who will come to the house at this time.But the knock on the door didn't mean to stop at all, old man Zhang frowned, sighed, stood up and opened the door.

Liu Da led Lu Li to the front of Zhang's house, and slapped the black door a few times, but no one answered.So he took several shots one after another, and finally heard old man Zhang's impatient voice coming from inside.

Old man Zhang opened the door a crack, looked out, and saw Liu Da and his bulbous nose.Some snorted angrily, and were about to close the door, but Liu Da blocked it.

"Old man Zhang, don't close the door."

"Why don't you close the door, it's not going to be a good thing if you come to my house."

"Hey, what do you say." Liu Da still blocked the door, and said with a smile on his face, "Today I brought you a genius doctor, he can cure your son's illness."

Hearing this, old man Zhang loosened his hand to close the door, but when he saw Liu Da's wretched smiling face, his hand became a little stronger.

"Uncle Liu, it seems that you are not very popular."

Meng Yue on the side twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"Little brother, now is not the time to make sarcastic remarks. Your son still has to see a doctor for Wang Xiang."

Hearing Wang Xiang's name, old man Zhang suddenly stopped what he was doing.He did hear that Wang Xiang went out to work with his son, and they came back together.And recently got sick too.He looked at Liu Da suspiciously, and turned his gaze behind him.I saw a young man in plain clothes, a woman in scarlet clothes, and a young man in a moon-white robe.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm going down to Luli, from Qingfeng City."

Seeing that the young man was polite, old man Zhang opened the door half-believingly.

"Master Lu can really cure my son's illness?"

"That's exactly what I'm here for, but I need to see the patient."

"Okay, okay. The young man, please come in."

Old man Zhang sideways let Lu Li into the yard, but blocked Liu Da from the door. After a while of pushing and shoving, Liu Da got a tael of silver from Lu Li, and then left Zhang's house with a smile.Old man Zhang apologized and said some kind words, then led Lu Li into his son's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Li felt the difference here.

"This room is too dark."

"Indeed, there are some in Wang Xiang's room, but they are much better than this."

Jinse looked around cautiously, everything in the room was normal, the only abnormal thing was the young man curled up in the corner.

"Lu Li, the youngest son of the Zhang family is curling up in a corner."

"Lead me there."

Jinse led Lu Li to the young man, but the young man didn't seem to notice them, just muttering to himself.Lu Li listened carefully. Although his voice was weak, he clearly heard something.

"He seemed to say something just now and cut off your hand."

Jinse said suspiciously.Lu Li also heard these words, but he heard more.

"What he said was, 'Don't come to me, they're going to chop off your hands.'"

"They? Could it be those young men who died? Whose hand did they cut off?"

"I thought maybe I'd look at the belongings they brought back."

According to Lu Li's instructions, old man Zhang brought all the jewelry his son had brought back.A package of bright red brocade embroidered with peonies embroidered with gold thread was placed in the center of the table. Jinse carefully opened the package, revealing an astonishing number of jewels and jade objects.

"The yin energy on these things is heavier."

Lu Li didn't even want to touch it.

"There is also a white jade seal here." Jinse picked up the small seal, only the size of a quail egg, and looked at it, "Luoxia Qiushui."

"The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky." Hearing Jinse read the inscription on the seal, Lu Li thought of this poem, "This is where the sunset and autumn water come from, and this world will be on the seal." There is only one person who inscribed these four words on it—Princess Qiuyu."

The only Princess Qiuyu that Jinse can think of is the one from Xiling Prefecture.It is said that this princess is a genius in civil and military affairs, but she has the aura of a woman who does not give way to a man.And this very talented princess is also a beautiful woman in the pen of literati.This beauty died on the battlefield at the age of 26. It is rumored that she fell in love with the enemy's general, but they could not stay together because of the flames of war, and finally both died on the battlefield.The cemetery of Princess Qiuyu is in Qifeng City, south of Xiling Prefecture, so the mountain where the tomb is located was renamed Luoxia Mountain, and the river flowing into the West Sea, one of the four seas, at the foot of the mountain was renamed Qiushui.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know where Mr. Ling goes to work?"

"Xiling Prefecture, I don't know which town it is."

Lu Li nodded, knowing that it was Xiling Prefecture, he was pretty close.

"Then who else went with him?"

"Besides that kid from the Wang family, there are four more, but they all died half a month ago."

"I want to meet their family members, can I ask Mr. Zhang for help?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll help you right away." Hearing what Lu Li said just now, old man Zhang guessed that his son must be doing tomb robbery for a living, which is a shameful thing.Looking back at his son's insane appearance, old man Zhang couldn't help stomping his feet and said, "Do evil, do evil!"

In just one cup of tea, there are already many people sitting in the courtyard of the Zhang family, including Mrs. Wang, exactly six families.Every household brought a parcel, and Jinse checked the parcels carefully.It is found that the fabrics of these packages are all the same material and the same color.If you read correctly, these should be two women's coats. In order to take away these jewels, they tore the two clothes into six pieces of different sizes.

In addition to jewelry and jade, there were some gold cakes in the parcel, and there were even weapons in the parcels of the four deceased young men.Among them was a black longsword with an ornate gold ornament on the scabbard, which was particularly conspicuous.Jinse looked carefully and found that there were engravings on the sword.

"Mufeng."

"Helian Mufeng!"

Lu Li suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone was a little confused about who this Helian Mufeng was.

"Helian Mufeng, a genius general in Beiming Prefecture, was able to lead troops in battle at the age of ten, and he was fearless in front of the battle. Back then, he fought with Princess Qiuyu for hundreds of rounds, and they were indistinguishable." Lu Li remembered. According to the records in the history books, "He should be the one who fell in love with Princess Qiuyu."

"Two battles, and the two sides have been fighting for a long time. So, Princess Qiuyu and this Helian Mufeng should be very admiring of each other's talents, and this gave birth to their feelings for each other?"

"Maybe. Rumor has it that Helian Mufeng found out that he fell in love with Princess Qiuyu, so he hesitated to fight. In the last battle, Helian Mufeng unfortunately died in battle."

Then they found the pair of bracelets among the jewels.

"The pair of bracelets should have been worn on the princess's wrist, so they cut off the princess's hands just to take the pair of bracelets."

"No wonder the third child of the Zhang family kept saying just now that they were going to cut off your hand."

Lu Li was noncommittal, but the melancholy look on his face became darker.Everyone in the courtyard watched them quietly. The conversation between Lu Li and Jinse had revealed the behavior of these six young people, and their family members were already stunned.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, you, can you save my son?"

Old man Zhang was the first to come to his senses. He knelt down at Lu Li's feet without thinking.Lu Li panicked and went to help him, but he couldn't pull him up.This kneeling seemed to wake up others, and six families knelt down one after another.Although the four people are dead, since they did such a detrimental thing, the four dead souls must not be saved.

"The only way to save your son is to appease the tomb owner's anger. Looks like I have to go to Xiling Prefecture."

From Nanyue Prefecture to Xiling Prefecture, it takes seven days to ride a horse-drawn carriage, and it will naturally be faster if you ride a horse.

"I think you'd better ride a horse with me. In that case, it will only take three days."

Jinse stroked the mane on the horse's head and said with a smile.Lu Li was a little hesitant. Of course he knew that riding a horse was faster, but it was a bit difficult for him to ride with Jinse.

"Don't worry, I won't cheat on you."

Seemingly seeing through Lu Li's thoughts, Jinse said jokingly, putting a hand on his shoulder.Just this simple action made Lu Li blush.In the end, Lu Li got on the horse amid Jinse's triumphant low smile.

As Jin Se said, within three days, they arrived in Xiling Prefecture, and after walking for half a day, they arrived at the foot of Luoxia Mountain.It was already afternoon, the sun was not as dazzling as it was at noon, and the clouds in the sky were gradually dyed a faint red.At the foot of the mountain, the horses were useless.

The three hiked up the mountain, relying on Lu Li's keen senses, they quickly found Princess Qiuyu's tomb.The words "Luoxia Qiushui" are simply engraved on the tombstone of the same height. Those who don't know about it will never think that there is a princess's tomb underneath.Later, Meng Yue found a small pothole less than ten meters away from the tombstone.

"This should be where Wang Xiang and the others entered. Let's go down too."

After going down the pit, there is a wide corridor, with torches every one meter on both sides. These torches have been around for some years, and some of them have rotted.Meng Yue chose a relatively well-preserved torch to light, and the whole corridor instantly brightened.There should be a tomb door at the end of the corridor, but now this door has been knocked down, presumably it was Wang Xiang and the others who broke in when they broke in.Behind the gate of the tomb is an open space, and there is nothing in it. Looking along the central axis of the open space, there is another corridor.Lu Li frowned, and asked Meng Yue and Jinse to throw some stones in different directions on the open land, and all the stones that fell outside the central axis disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that only the central axis is safe." Jinse glanced at the central axis that was so narrow that only one person could pass through, and reached out to hold Lu Li. "Follow me closely. Meng Yue, protect your back."

The moment his hands touched, Lu Li was a little nervous. He frowned, and finally followed Jinse without saying a word.Through the second corridor, they arrived at the first tomb.It is not so much a tomb as it is an army phalanx.At the front are three rows of cavalry, the last three rows are infantry with tall shields and long swords, then four full rows of pistols, and the last five rows are infantry with pistols.All soldiers and horses are in heavy armor and lined up in order.

"Are these soldiers dead or alive?"

Meng Yue swallowed and asked.

"It's not clear, but how did those six young people get through here?"

Jinse asked leisurely.

"I don't think she will attack people," Lu Li said flatly. "Although Princess Qiuyu is a female general, she is not good at fighting. These soldiers and horses should be arranged by her father."

"Then let's go and see."

Jinse was still holding Lu Li's hand, and the three of them walked through the square carefully.Although he was not attacked in any way, when he looked back, he was still dripping with cold sweat.

Behind the phalanx is a space similar to a living room, with a stone table and benches in the middle. After walking around the stone table for a few steps, you can see the main tomb.There are two ear chambers on both sides of the main tomb, the two on the left are for weapons and study rooms, and the two on the right are for musical instruments and jewelry.Now the four ear rooms are in a mess, weapons and belongings are scattered all over the place, it can be seen how crazy the six young people were when they saw these priceless treasures.In the middle of the main tomb chamber is a huge round platform with complex and magnificent patterns painted on it, and a huge coffin in the middle.There were three sets of coffin lids scattered around, obviously carried away by the six young men.

The three of them approached the coffin slowly. It was a three-layer coffin, and on the innermost layer lay a woman without hands.

"My lord, the woman lying here should be Princess Qiuyu, right?"

"It should be." Lu Li has never touched anything from this tomb since he took over the commission from Aunt Wang, but now he reached out to touch Princess Qiuyu's arm, "His hands were cut off as expected. gone."

When Lu Li withdrew his hand, he smelled blood.He frowned. A woman who had been dead for nearly a thousand years could still bleed after her hands were cut off.

"There must be something wrong with this corpse. Her body looks like a living person."

Jinse saw the blood on Lu Li's hands, and then turned to look at the corpse. No matter how she looked at it, she felt weird.

"Princess Qiuyu's soul is always there."

"Is she waiting for something?"

"I think it should be Helian Mufeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li felt the wind blowing by his ears.

"You are right, the spirit of the princess is always there."

Jinse stood in front of Lu Li calmly, looking warily at the woman who sat up from the coffin and was dressed in a fancy dress.

"I was indeed waiting for Helian Mufeng, but he was taken away."

The woman's voice was a little ethereal, and Lu Li's black jade-like eyes reflected the figure of the woman.

"After Mu Feng died, his body was cremated according to the custom of Beiming State. And his saber was given to me when we met for the second time."

"Then how did his soul attach to the sword?"

this is the key of the problem.

"I found a master of Taoism and asked him to attach Mu Feng's soul to this saber. The only last wish I made when I was dying was to be buried with his saber. However, those abominable people The young man took him."

Speaking of this, the woman's voice became sharp in vain, black air swirled around her body, and her originally delicate face became distorted and ugly.

"The corpse is possessed."

Lu Li quickly threw out the talisman in his hand, and a golden light radiated from the woman's feet.

"It's not an ordinary species that is possessed. My talisman won't last long, so it's better to quit first."

The three of them immediately retreated the way they used to come and go, and when they retreated to the square formation, they found that there was no way to retreat.The original clay phalanx suddenly came alive. The entire phalanx had already turned its direction, and all the soldiers had raised their weapons.

"It seems that we can't fight anymore."

As soon as Jinse moved, she rushed to the woman, and at some point in her hand, there was a crystal clear long sword.The entire body of the sword sank into the woman's body, but no blood gushed out.The woman showed some pain at first, but soon a pair of blood-red hands grew out from under her empty arms, and they slashed towards Jinse's face with a ferocious expression.Jinse seemed to have noticed it a long time ago, so she avoided it sideways and pulled out her long sword forcefully.After the woman missed, she did not retreat, but pursued Jinse further.Suddenly the woman's movements stopped, as if she was restrained by something.Jinse looked back and saw Meng Yue was guarding the formation set up by Lu Li to slow down the movement of the phalanx, but Lu Li was already standing behind the woman, with a yellow talisman pasted on the top of the woman's head.His hands had also formed curse seals, and as the last word of the curse talisman blurted out, the talisman shone with dazzling golden light, and in just a split second, the woman's figure disappeared.

Looking at the monster that showed its original shape, Jinse couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth and letting out a chuckle.

"It turned out to be a vulture python."

The gray-black eagle python spat out the letter, and its red eyes were fixed on Jinse.

"Qingqiu Nine Tails."

"For you are knowledgeable, you still know me." Jinse glanced at it contemptuously, "Unexpectedly, with your 3000 years of cultivation, you can still fight me for a few rounds."

"Don't meddle in your own business."

"It was originally an idle matter, but Miss Ben just took care of it, so I had no choice but to take care of it to the end. Tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"

"What? There's something Qingqiu Nine Tails doesn't know about?" Jiu Mang said and shifted his gaze to the coffin. "This woman was originally born under the star of Wuqu, so she can still be as good as she was in life after a thousand years of death. If you swallow her soul, you can have 2000 years of Taoism."

"So it is. When this tomb was built, an expert was invited to set up a formation. Unfortunately, it was accidentally hit and destroyed by those six young people, so you were able to enter the tomb."

"That's right, I still have to thank them." Eagle Mang turned his gaze back on Jinse, "In a month or so, I could completely devour her soul, but I didn't expect you to break in."

"I'm sorry for ruining your wishful thinking. However, her soul no longer belongs to you."

"Hmph! That kid did knock her soul out of my body just now, but that doesn't mean I failed."

As soon as the words fell, the eagle python opened its mouth and rushed towards Lu Li.Jinse frowned slightly, and quickly caught up, grabbing the snake's head.

"Unfortunately, you have bad luck today."

While speaking, a gust of wind swept past, and a nine-tailed white fox stood in front of Lu Li, stepping on a vulture python.Jinse, who showed her original shape, her dark eyes instantly turned golden.

"You...what do you want to do?"

The eagle python did not expect Jinse to show its original shape at this time, it struggled to escape, but Jinse would never let the food slip from its mouth, so it swallowed the eagle python unceremoniously.While she was licking her tongue contentedly, one hand was stroking her snow-white hair.Jinse turned her head and saw Lu Li was groping her body with both hands, with a curious expression on her face.

When the eagle python showed its original shape, the phalanx stopped moving half a step. Meng Yue took a long, deep breath. When he turned around, what he saw was Jinse in its original shape.

"It turns out that your original shape is like this."

His exclamation startled both Jinse and Lu Li.

"Otherwise what do you think it is? Hey! Don't touch it!"

Jinse avoided Meng Yue's outstretched palm.

"Young master has already touched it, and I want to touch it too."

Lu Li on the side blushed immediately.Jinse was even more at a loss, so she had to quickly return to her human form.

"We still have important things to do."

"Meng Yue, bring Helian Mufeng's saber."

Lu Li ordered calmly, and Meng Yue, with a bored face, had to take off the sword on his back.

"Princess Qiuyu, please show up."

Holding the sword in both hands, Lu Li stood upright in front of the coffin, his loud voice hovering in the tomb.Meng Yue looked around nervously over and over again, until Jinse tugged at his sleeve, then fixed his eyes on the phalanx.

The small phalanx was still the same, but a woman's figure appeared in front of the phalanx, and her appearance gradually became clear.It was a woman with a handsome appearance and a heroic look between her brows.She was wearing crimson armor, and a black long sword with golden patterns hung from her waist.A pair of almond eyes were looking directly at Lu Li.

"Back then, the master who had attained the Tao helped me to attach Mu Feng's soul to this long sword. At the same time, he also told me that Mu Feng and I had killed too many people and had too much blood. If we want to be reborn, only one person can help us do it, and this When people appear, depends on when my doom comes."

Lu Li guessed that the catastrophe that Princess Qiuyu spoke of meant tomb robbers and eagle pythons.

"Princess means..."

"I wonder if this man is Mr.

"I don't know who is the master of Taoism that the princess mentioned?"

Lu Li already had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

"His name is Sang Yu."

The name was spit out from Princess Qiuyu's mouth, but it dispelled the last trace of suspicion in Lu Li's heart.Sang Yu is Lu Li's master and the one who raised him.Counting with my fingers, it has been 16 years since I followed Sang Yu when I was young.Three years ago, his master suddenly disappeared, and Lu Li never saw him again.

"Sure enough, it's the style of a tutor."

Lu Li laughed.

"But those young men destroyed the formation and took Mu Feng away. I was confused for a while, and the eagle python took advantage of it. Now the killing karma is even heavier."

Princess Qiuyu frowned worriedly.

"If the princess can trust me, you might as well let me try."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Does the princess have anything close to her?"

"I didn't like jewelry and jade since I was a child, but this saber is my favorite." Princess Qiuyu gently stroked the saber at her waist, "Sir, I want to put my soul into this saber too." ?”

Lu Li nodded.

"The princess and General Helian are both people who go to battle to kill the enemy. Although it is for the country and the people, after all, killing is killing. I, Lu Li, cannot resolve such heavy killing karma. Only the Buddha can. How about the princess's death?" The soul is placed in the sword, and sent to the Buddhist temple together with General Helian's sword."

"Everything is up to the master."

After hearing this, Princess Qiuyu finally eased her tangled brows, and raised her hand to salute Lu Li.

"My lord, what about Wang Xiang and the youngest of the Zhang family?"

"Don't worry, their illnesses were originally caused by digging up Princess Qiuyu's tomb and being disturbed by the princess's grievances, and the vulture python was causing trouble. Now the vulture python has been exterminated, and the princess and The soul of General Helian has also been sent to Banruo Temple, so there should be no serious problems now."

Meng Yue looked back at the mountain gate of Banruo Temple in doubt. The abbot who sent them away was still standing at the gate with his hands folded.

"My lord, what exactly is that vulture python?"

Meng Yue asked loudly while driving the carriage.

"It's a monster from the wilderness, but compared to those ancient monsters, it's nothing more than insects and ants."

Before Lu Kai could speak, Jinse said suddenly.

"Unexpectedly, even a monster like the eagle python can survive the four seasons.
