One path deep from Luo Xiaoxiao

15 years later.

Recently, there have been frequent accidents at Qizhang Cliff. In the night, the carriage that was walking on the cliff fell down the cliff inexplicably, and fell to pieces; people passing by under the cliff were crushed to death for no reason. The person who was crushed to death did not know what was crushing him to death. When people found the corpse, they could only see huge wounds on the body, but there was no heavy object, and there was nothing around that could crush a person to death.

For a while, there were all kinds of speculations, and it was rumored that the person who was crushed to death on Qizhang Cliff before his death, because of his deep resentment, turned into a ghost and demanded the lives of people passing by Qizhang Cliff, creating the same death as him. Law.

However, although people have been killed many times on Qizhang Cliff, this road is a traffic fortress connecting the north and the south. If southerners want to transport goods to the north for sale, they must pass this road. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will die, but there is no other way to make a living.

Therefore, the previous accidents all happened at night, so everyone thought about passing by in the daytime, or they could avoid the evil spirits in power.

All of a sudden, everyone was miserable because of this, so they thought that they could ask the disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect of Lishan who was closest to Qizhang Cliff to come and catch the ghosts, so Xu Yi, the most famous merchant, went to Lishan as a representative.

Lishan Immortal Cultivation Sect, master Mo Yao heard what Xu Yi said, and fell into a daze. He didn't know who to send to deal with it. His first disciple, Mo Yu, was traveling abroad. Although his second disciple, Mo Li, was talented and intelligent, compared to other My son, his cultivation is also superb, but he has just passed the ceremony of crowning and has not yet gone down the mountain. If someone with no experience takes the lead, he may not be able to take on this great task.

When Mo Yao was struggling, Mo Li proposed that since he was an adult, it was time to go down the mountain for a trip, and it was a matter of time before he went down the mountain, so it was the same to go to Qizhang Cliff to deal with the disturbance now.

Mo Yao sighed, anyway, what Mo Li said was indeed true, and since Mo Li is his proud disciple, he should let him go down the mountain to make a living, but going to Qizhang Cliff is somewhat dangerous, so Mo Yao sent Mo Zhi, Mo Xing, and Mo Yi, who are about the same age as Mo Li, went forward together to ensure that they could take care of each other when an accident happened.

Therefore, a group of Lishan disciples followed Xu Yi to Qizhang Cliff.

Near Qizhang Cliff, Wanfu Inn, seven or eight Lishan children in blue robes are sitting around a table and discussing enthusiastically.

Among them, Mo Yidao, who looks quite immature, said, "Do you think this Qizhang Cliff is really haunted by ghosts?"

"I think so, the method is so cruel, revealing a lot of resentment, it must be a ghost to kill people." Mo Xingdao, another boy who is also like a boy.

At this time, Mo Zhi, who was relatively older than Mo Yi and Mo Xing, objected: "I don't agree, why is there nothing on the person who was smashed to death? The giant went to smash people to death, and then moved the giant away, after so many twists and turns, it doesn't look like a ghost."

When all the Lishan disciples were arguing endlessly, only Mo Li, who was the senior brother of all the Lishan disciples, was in it, indifferent and speechless.The arguments among the disciples came to nothing, so they looked at the silent Mo Li and asked, "Brother Li, tell me, are you a ghost?"

Hearing this, Mo Li put down the tea on his lips, shook his head, and said calmly: "If it's a ghost, it won't make trouble under the blue sky and white sun."

That's true. Just now everyone was entangled in whether the ghosts are cruel or not, but they ignored that the latest accidents happened during the day. Before that, it was precisely because people thought it was ghosts that were killed only at night, so they all chose daytime. Day travel, but lost his life.Mo Zhi and his disciples instantly understood.

"Senior Brother Li, what is that?" But if it wasn't Li Gui, what would it be?Mo Yi asked curiously.

Mo Li didn't answer directly, but only asked: "Although Qizhang Cliff is steep, the road up the cliff is smooth and smooth. Why did the carriage fall down the cliff for no reason?"

Mo Yi scratched his head, thinking: "Could it be that the driver didn't pay attention to the road at all, and fell down by accident?"

But Mo Zhi shook his head: "It's definitely not that I didn't pay attention. If the carriage fell off the cliff only once, it might be because I didn't pay attention, but it's hard to say that it happened twice, let alone many times?"

"That's right, unless there is a change in the cliff itself, it is impossible to cause the carriage to pass by and fall off the cliff for no reason. Think again why people passing by under the cliff are smashed by something so that they can't distinguish their facial features?" Mo Li took another sip of tea, The guide asked.

"Generally speaking, when passing by the cliff, what else can you do besides encountering a landslide and being stoned to death?" Mo Xing said with a curl of his lips.

"Oh! I got it, I got it, it must be the ghost hiding on the cliff!" Mo Yi said loudly as if he had an epiphany.

In the corner, the man in black wearing a veiled hat sitting at another table couldn't help coughing when he heard this. The girl in red next to him was puzzled, but promptly refilled the man's teacup. Full of tea.

As soon as Mo Yi's words came out, the disciples of Li Shan fell into silence. Mo Yi wondered, "What's the matter? What's the matter? Am I wrong?"

Mo Xing avoided the air from being too embarrassed, and sneered at Mo Yi, "Why did you go back to the ghost again?..."

Realizing his problem, Mo Yi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Okay." Then he asked indifferently: "Then Senior Brother Li, what is it if it's not a ghost?"

"What Mo Xing just said is right. It was the stone that killed the person, but the stone was not an ordinary stone. The stone had become a monster, so it disappeared after the person was crushed to death. On the cliff, the road was smooth, and the carriages were rushing. Falling off the cliff means that the stone monster is hiding in the Qizhang cliff, so it can create such a disturbance." Mo Li said eloquently.

"So that's how it is! That's how it is!" All the disciples suddenly realized.

"Then why did this stone monster smash people to death?" Mo Xing couldn't help being curious.

"Do you still remember that Boss Xu took us to inspect the murdered body?"

"Isn't that corpse all smashed to pieces?" All the children felt disgusted when they recalled the bloody, unrecognizable corpse.

"This is where the stone monster confuses the public. The dead people were all injured by heavy objects. It's not bad that it was caused by the stone monster, but I've seen where the skin on their bodies was intact. The wrinkles are aging." Mo Li said.

All the children looked at each other in blank dismay. When they were inspecting the corpse, they were disgusted by the stench emitted by the corpse. How could they bother to notice such details.

Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Mo Li continued: "Such traces appear on the corpse, which means that the spiritual energy has been sucked out before death. To cover up this, the stone monster smashed people until they couldn't distinguish their facial features, so that people would think that those people were just was crushed to death."

"So those people were killed after being sucked in spiritual energy first?!" The disciples exclaimed.

"That's right, the stone monster's purpose this time is to absorb the aura of living people to consolidate essence. At first, the stone monster was afraid of being discovered, and only targeted people who passed by at night, but later everyone stopped walking at night for safety's sake. , that stone monster couldn't help it, and just took the risk to attack people passing by during the day." Mo Li continued to explain.

After listening, the man in black in the corner smiled under the veil.
