Ye Gui

Delicate peach blossoms grow continuously from the dead wood-like canes, flying over the cold water as if they were alive.Xiaomo was caught, screamed in pain, and fell into the water in an instant.

Hakuin exclaimed: "Xiaomo!" He shot out at the same time, Lingli, together with the girl and Peach Blossom, went up to the surface of the water and stopped in mid-air.

Two forces, one upward and the other downward, compete with each other.

Pei Zheng said without any fluctuation in tone: "Little uncle, please don't interfere."

Bai Yin said angrily: "Pei Zheng, what are you going to do?" He made a tactic with one hand, and the water immediately froze.Xiaomo was drenched all over, the peach petals stuck to her body and face, fell on the ice and coughed continuously.

Pei Zheng stared at Xiao Mo, wanting to strike again, but Bai Yin's spiritual power was protecting Xiao Mo, the difference in spiritual power between the two was huge, Pei Zheng was no match, and there was a hint of anger in his tone: "Little uncle, I I said please don't interfere."

Lei Yan: "Master, what are you doing?"

Pei Zheng glanced at Lei Yan: "Little General?"

"..." Lei Yan thought to himself, did you just see me?

Pei Zheng didn't pay attention to him, and raised the peach wood cane, and the whole huge peach blossoms gathered on the top of the cane. Bai Yin knew that he was going to kill him, and shouted: "Pei Zheng! Stop! Don't force me to shoot you!"

Pei Zheng didn't intend to stop, as if she wouldn't give up until Xiao Mo was put to death, the peach blossoms gathered suddenly and stabbed at Xiao Mo like a sword.

Bai Yin's emotions were surging at this moment, Pei Zheng used his spiritual power to the extreme, just to take Xiao Mo's life, just at the moment of his hesitation, Xiao Mo broke away from his barrier protection, and ran along the ice like crazy. Jumping towards their boat, the whites of her eyes disappeared, like two black holes, staring at Lei Yan faintly.

Bai Yin was the closest to him, opened the barrier, and Xiao Mo bumped into the barrier, stopped for a moment, then broke through the barrier and rushed towards the little general.

In the blink of an eye, Yegui pierced the silence, Lei Yan turned sideways, grabbed Xiaomo's padded jacket by the back collar with one hand, and held Yegui with the other to block Pei Zheng's attack.

The peach blossoms receded as if consciously, and only now did Pei Zheng seriously examine his nominal disciples.

Xiaomo struggled, turned her head to the back and opened her mouth to bite Lei Yan's hand. Lei Yan pulled the fishing net on the canopy to dry and stuffed it into the girl's mouth.

Wrap Xiaomo tightly with the rest of the fishing net, wrap it properly into a rice dumpling and put it on the bow of the boat: "You sit here obediently, my lord has something to say."

Bai Yin was stunned by his flowing movements, and Pei Zheng's expression was torn apart for a moment.

Although Xiaomo lost consciousness, she was also retched by the fishy smell of the fishing net.

Lei Yan clapped his hands, seeing that they were all looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Yin smiled secretly, and said, "It's nothing." Both he and Pei Zheng relied too much on spiritual power and spells, ignoring the simplest and feasible method.

"Pei Zheng, can you give me an explanation?" Hakuin asked seriously.

Pei Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, his peach wood cane was shortened and held in his left hand, he took off his hood, his long and narrow phoenix eyes showed no emotion, even a little dull, and said two words lightly: "Dead."

Although it is two words without beginning and end, Bai Yin's heart is really trembling.

From the moment he followed Xiaomo to the ferry, he noticed that the girl was no longer alive. He squatted in front of Xiaomo unwillingly. The girl was humming with a fishing net stuffed in her mouth. Suddenly, the black eyes turned back to normal eyes immediately, black and white, teary, even pitiful.

Lei Yan stood aside with his arms folded. Seeing that the girl had returned to normal, he knelt down and asked, "Xiaomo, how are you? Do you still remember brother?"

As soon as he approached, Xiaomo struggled and wanted to pounce on him.

Bai Yin pulled him away and said to Pei Zheng, "Are the other missing persons in Anning County also because of you?"

Pei Zheng didn't deny it, and stood silently at the bow of the boat.

Bai Yin sighed and said, "Follow me back to Anning County and explain why."

Pei Zheng didn't move, and looked down at the black boat under her feet: "Sorry. I can't go."

There are differences in Baishan's honor and inferiority. Bai Yin is not only Pei Zheng's uncle, but also has a higher seniority than him. He is also the master in identity. Faced with Pei Zheng's straightforward rejection, he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why?"

Pei Zheng pointed to the peach blossoms in the water and the hull of the black boat. The hull was made of peach wood. Hakuin immediately understood that the Pei Zheng they were facing here was not Pei Zheng himself, but his phantom clone.

Bai Yin asked, "Is Xiaomo's death related to you?"

Pei Zheng shook her head.

"The other missing people are in the same situation as Xiaomo?"

Pei Zheng nodded: "Yes."

"Why do they do this?"

Pei Zheng hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer this question: "Possessed."

Hakuin continued to ask: "Possessed by what?"

Pei Zheng shook her head.

Bai Yin thought he didn't know, and was about to ask something else, but he heard him say three words in a low voice: "I can't say it."

He frowned and asked further: "Why can't you say?"

"you know?"

"what exactly is it?"

"What happened to the peach tree in Baijuan Mountain?"

"How could the barrier be broken? Your snow jade has been tampered with, did you do it?"

Pei Zheng was shaken repeatedly by his series of pressing questions, holding the mahogany cane tightly in her hand, as if she was holding back, Lei Yan suddenly felt something was wrong.

He has only met Pei Zheng a few times, and there is no need to talk too much about teaching the spell, so Pei Zheng is like a stranger to him. He is not interested in the spell, and he has never thought about learning about this nominal master.

But at this moment, the person in front of him shook his head violently, as if he wanted to shake off all Hakuin's persuasive questions. This look is like...

He took Bai Yin's arm and motioned him to stop talking, and when Pei Zheng stopped shaking his head, he called softly, "Master."

Pei Zheng looked up at Lei Yan, her face was pale, her phoenix eyes were drooping, and her expression was a little dull in a trance.

Lei Yan said slowly: "Master, do you recognize me?"

Pei Zheng nodded: "Little General."

Lei Yan asked again: "Has Master eaten?"

It's strange that he asked such an insignificant question under such circumstances. Bai Yin didn't understand why he asked such an insignificant question, but Pei Zheng nodded, and replied with a relaxed expression: "Eat."

Lei Yan continued to ask: "What does Master like to eat?"

Pei Zheng swallowed as if thinking of some delicacy, and replied, "Peach Blossom Crisp."

Lei Yan had a bottom line in his mind, Bai Yin was confused, the magic genius in front of him looked like a child who hadn't learned yet!

He suddenly understood, and was startled into a cold sweat. Pei Zheng, who was hailed as a once-in-a-hundred-year magic genius, was given high hopes by his master and elders, and entered the world early, turned out to be a fool! ?

No wonder he never appeared in front of the world, never participated in state affairs!

So why let such a person enter the WTO?Master, what are they thinking?

Did he become like this only recently?

Could it be that the matter of Baijuan Mountain and Anning County was just his unintentional mistake?

Hakuin's doubts piled up more and more, as if there was a big mountain in front of him, and there was a thick fog in front of the mountain. Before he could see the whole picture of the mountain, he was blocked by a dense forest full of thorns.

He asked cautiously, "Pei Zheng, who sent you here?"

Pei Zheng raised her head and looked at him seriously, as if she wanted to look into his soul, her long and narrow phoenix eyes flashed hesitantly.

The moment he opened his mouth, the peach-wood awning boat suddenly backed away, carrying him in the blink of an eye and disappearing into the night and the vast fog.

Lei Yan wanted to chase after him by boat, but was stopped by Bai Yin: "Don't chase, it's his phantom, his real body should still be in Tianlu City."

Lei Yan asked: "What is going on? The water ghost is the master?"

Bai Yin shook his head: "It shouldn't be Pei Zheng, he said that Xiao Mo is possessed, and the water ghost should be something inside Xiao Mo's body."

He knelt down and looked at Xiaomo. The girl lowered her head and sobbed softly. He stretched out his hand to send spiritual power into Xiaomo's body, and when he retracted, his brows were furrowed even tighter: "How could this happen!"

"what happened?"

Reluctantly, Bai Yin probed into her spiritual power again: "There is nothing in her body! There is no evil spirit and no soul!"

Lei Yan looked at the girl in front of her whose eyes were normal and then hollow, and a layer of cold sweat broke out from her back. This is a real empty shell.

Xiaomo looked at Lei Yan with a smile, and Lei Yan pulled out the fishing net in her mouth. The girl smiled shrilly: "Are you looking for me? You can't find it! Wait until he comes to you!"

After speaking, he leaned back without warning, and fell into the bottomless white water with a bang.

"Xiaomo!" Lei Yan hurriedly went to pull the fishing net. The fishing net was very light, but Xiaomo disappeared when the net was pulled up.

Thick fog pervaded the calm water, pure white water seemed to contain everything, swallowed it and disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened, Taohua and Peizheng had never been here, and Xiaomo Still sleeping soundly in the arms of the boat lady... Maybe this is just a dream.

Bai Yin couldn't bear his sadness, took the fishing net in his hand and put it aside, encircled him from behind, held his hands, pure spiritual power gushed out from the converging palms, and rushed to the bottom of the river.

Corpses were wrapped in spiritual power and emerged from the bottom of the water one by one.The white mist gradually dissipated, and the half-circle moon slowly poked its head out, hanging in the deserted high sky, covering the calm water surface with gentle brilliance, floating with waves, singing a sad song for the people in the biting river in a low voice.
