Lord Tianshi, please take your seat

There were only a few torches to light the dark stairs. Dan Qing and Dan Shu led Xia Chuyu all the way up, and soon came to the main city located in this tower.

There are a few lamp holders made of copper bottoms in the hall, and some plain candles are placed on them. Because they have been burning for a long time, the candles are not so bright anymore, and the wax liquid spreads down the lamp handles.

This place looks like a living room, with tables and chairs made of nanmu placed on the main seat, and armchairs for guests are neatly lined up on both sides.

Approaching, Xia Chuyu's gaze locked on the person sitting in the main seat, to be precise, it was the ghost in the main seat.

The one was sideways, wearing a veil, unable to see its real face.Wearing a dress made of blue brocade, the cuffs are embroidered with patterns that look like some kind of flowers, which looks familiar.

Her hair was scattered in front of her body because of her sitting posture, and a pearl and jasper swing was inserted obliquely in her bun, and she was brewing tea in her hand.

Hearing the movement, the person in the main seat turned his face and poured a new cup of tea. Danqing who was at the side quickly stepped forward to take the tea from the woman and put it on the guest seat.

The woman made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Xia Chuyu could sit down.

Xia Chuyu looked at the person in the main seat with some vigilance, with a look of defense.

Le Zhen had already been released by Danqing when he entered the tower. He noticed Xia Chuyu's strangeness, and floated to her side: "Sister Chuyu, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Chuyu pulled Le Zhen behind her, and she looked at the woman in front of her: "Senior asked me to come, why?".

Respectful words, but disrespectful tone, Dan Qing and Dan Shu drew their swords at Xia Chuyu.

Lin Hexiang scolded Dan Qing and Dan Shu who drew their swords: "Don't be rude!"

Hearing this, the two retracted their swords and cupped their fists to apologize to Xia Chuyu.

Seeing the two celestial masters obeying the words of a ghost so much, Xia Chuyu was a little puzzled, and became even more wary of the person sitting on it.

Seeing Xia Chuyu's hesitation, the woman didn't intend to explain: "Miss Xia, don't be restrained, sit down."

The woman spoke softly, and she could feel her kind smile through the veil. Xia Chuyu took Le Zhen to sit down.

"You asked me to come, why?"

The woman was not in a hurry to answer, and took a sip of her tea: "Is this the first time Miss Xia has come to a ghost town?"

Xia Chuyu nodded, unable to understand what kind of medicine was sold in the city lord's gourd: "Yes."

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for someone."

Putting down the tea in his hand, the city lord continued: "Miss Xia, you know why there are so many fierce ghosts in this ghost town, but it has never been reported that the fierce ghosts here go out to cause harm to the world."

In the ghost city, there are countless desperate ghosts. Logically speaking, if a hundred ghosts gather, their energy far exceeds that of the celestial master.

Xia Chuyu really couldn't tell the cause and effect, and the city lord continued, "Because of me."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, and with just one movement of raising her hand, a huge amount of soul power had already been rolled up.But the soul body is pure, not like resentment.

Xia Chuyu and Le Zhen were so blown by the wind that they couldn't open their eyes, they raised their hands to block them.

The city lord put down his hand, and this force dissipated instantly.

Shocked from the bottom of my heart that the city lord had such power, Xia Chuyu said calmly, "Senior, you want to ask me about the crime of beheading those evil spirits."

After all, he is the lord of this ghost city, and he may not be able to escape accountability for killing the evil spirit right under her nose.

The city lord shook his head: "Those evil spirits bully your friends, you reach out to save them, there is no sin."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Chuyu was confused. Since she was innocent, why did she bring her here.

"Miss Xia must not understand what I mean."

Xia Chuyu thought to herself, who would understand what you said was wrong.

"As I said, my responsibility is to suppress the evil spirits in Nanman City, and not leave the city to cause harm to the world."

Xia Chuyu understood what he said.It means that you are an evil spirit, if you come into the ghost town, don't think about going out to harm people, you can only stay here.You can't beat me, and you can't get out.

Xia Chuyu touched her forehead a little irritably, it is not known where Zhong Wanning is at the moment: "Senior, what do you mean is that I can't get out?"

The city lord on the main seat nodded, indicating that was the case.

Xia Chuyu was funny, and it was indeed a doubt in her heart: "Who is senior, and what is the purpose of doing this?"

"I said before, to suppress the evil spirits so that they cannot do harm to the world."

This is a bit exaggerated, but she is indeed doing it.It can't be said that what the city lord did was wrong, but as a soul body, he must have obsessions if he doesn't leave after death, so why do these things again.The two are contradictory, but it is obvious that the city owner is unwilling to say anything, and the answer is irrelevant.

"Senior knows what I mean, so don't play around with me. Suppressing evil spirits can only be said to be something you are doing, so why do you do this? Could it be that you were still a celestial master when you were alive?"

Xia Chuyu was thinking about Zhong Wanning in her heart, but she just said it casually without thinking, but it seemed that she had stepped on it. Hearing Xia Chuyu's words, Dan Qing's hand that held the sword was obviously tight.

Sensitively capturing the changes in Danqing, Xia Chuyu looked up at the city lord: "Are you really a celestial master during your lifetime?"

His eyes glanced at Danqing Danshu standing beside her, and it made sense.

These two celestial masters are protecting their patriarch, even if the patriarch is dead, they never leave.And as a celestial master in his lifetime, even if he is dead, he is still here to suppress evil spirits.

The will is uncontrollable, but the celestial masters are all ashamed of ghosts. In order to prevent their souls from turning into ghosts after death, they will use their last breath to forcibly save themselves with spiritual power before death, that is, to wipe out their souls. To remember, so that I can pass through Naihe smoothly and enter reincarnation.

Looking at the city lord, Xia Chuyu glanced over and over again: "All celestial masters are ashamed to die and turn into ghosts. It's really courageous for seniors to do this."

Half joke, half admiration.

"Evil spirit, shut your mouth!" Dan Qing's temper was obviously more irritable, seeing Xia Chuyu's words against his patriarch, he drew his sword and aimed at Xia Chuyu again.

Everything is just Xia Chuyu's guess, as long as the city lord above categorically denies that there is no way for anyone to prove the truth of the matter, and this Dan Qing wants to jump out and say the last sentence, this confirms Xia Chuyu's conjecture.

The city lord sighed, and cast a reproachful glance at Danqing.

Realizing that he was too impatient, Danqing also withdrew his sword: "Please punish the master."

Waving his hand: "Forget it, since Miss Xia knows, I won't hide it anymore."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and took off her veil: "Miss Xia is not a celestial master, so she probably doesn't know who the celestial master family is. I am the head of the Lin family..."

Before the city lord could finish speaking, Xia Chuyu's exclamation interrupted her: "Lin Hexiang!"

The city lord, that is, Lin Hexiang, was really surprised when he heard Xia Chuyu call out his name.The Lin family was not well-known in the family of celestial masters, and there were very few people who could know it. After I married Mo Buliu, there were only a handful of people who could know the Lin family.Unexpectedly, an evil spirit would know.

"Miss Xia knows me?"

Xia Chuyu had seen Lin Hexiang's face in the coffin in the tomb before, and the body was well protected by Mo Tianchen. At this moment, this face, which overlapped with the one in the coffin, was undoubtedly Mo Tianchen's mother.

Xia Chuyu laughed. If Mo Tianchen knew that his mother, who he had worked so hard to resurrect, had become a ghost, he didn't know what he would think.

After recounting everything Mo Tianchen had done, Lin Hexiang couldn't stop crying after hearing the end.

"I didn't expect this child to become like this. It's all my fault as a mother."

"Senior, don't blame yourself. Mo Tianchen has such a knot in his heart, so he can't blame you." Recalling the conversation between Mo Buliu and Mo Tianchen in the bamboo forest before, Xia Chuyu asked: "Senior, what happened back then, is it true that I can't blame you?" Did it force you to commit suicide?"

Lin Hexiang shook her head: "I voluntarily."

Back then, the Mo family obviously had the strongest spiritual power in the world of celestial masters, but just because they majored in defense, their role in battle was negligible, and they were excluded by all celestial masters.

And the Lin family can only be regarded as a small sect in the celestial master world, and the two families have been bullied by the celestial master family.He is young and energetic, but he wants to study and develop an attack formation, and he is proud.

However, Mo Buliu's father, who was the head of the Mo family at the time, did not support Mo Buliu's doing so.The father and son disagreed, and Mobuliuben never went to see his father, and stayed at home all day long to study formations.

By chance, he got acquainted with Zhong Dangu at that time. The Zhong family's mountain protection formation is a formation that is worshiped by all celestial masters. The two always study together and discuss their experiences.

Mo Buliu discovered that Zhong Dangu's mountain protection formation was formed using forbidden techniques, and it was Zhong Dangu's own Yangshou who operated the formation.So he used this method in his own plan.

At first, he also wanted to use Yangshou to change his formation, but to no avail.The principle of creating an array is different from changing an array, this method didn't work for him, so he thought of another method, using living souls to sacrifice the array.

But how can the living soul be obtained easily? The purpose of the celestial master is to save the undead, not to kill the living.

But people's hearts will eventually be defeated by desire. He wants to kill people and change his formation.

This plan was discovered by Lin Hexiang. To stop him, he would not listen to persuasion, so Lin Hexiang used his own life to do the experiment.

Because of the need for a living soul, Lin Hexiang didn't save herself, and went directly into the formation to sacrifice to the formation.

The result must have been a failure, otherwise Lin Hexiang would have died long ago, and would not have become the current city lord.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyu suddenly realized: "So did Bubuliu not succeed?"

"No, he succeeded." Lin Hexiang shook her head and continued.

The grief of losing his wife changed his state of mind greatly. The reason why the Mo family's formation is powerful is because of the pure state of mind.Mo Buliu can never go back to the previous state, and the formation that belongs to him has begun to form, which is exactly the attack formation he wants. Use is limited.

Speaking of this, Xia Chuyu also understood that Mo Buliu didn't use all his strength when encountering the corpse before, which must be the reason.

"His crimes are so serious that a hundred deaths cannot redeem him. So I came to this ghost city to suppress all ghosts, and I should give him atonement." He said, looking at the Danqing Danshu beside him: "These two people, originally My son of the Lin family came to this ghost town because of me."

Xia Chuyu was dumbfounded: "Do the father and son know about you?"

Lin Hexiang shook her head: "Of course they don't know. The way I am now, they might as well let them think that I have lost my soul."

"Is it worth it?"

"There is no value or not, only whether you want to do it or not."

Suddenly, a huge light outside the window interrupted their conversation.

Xia Chuyu ran to the top of the city tower to look, and not far outside the city, a dazzling golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, and even drove away the dark clouds in the sky.

Because of this huge spiritual power, all the ghosts in the city began to move around.

Lin Hexiang was also standing on the tower at the moment, her eyes were shocked: "This is...the Heavenly Master seal has appeared..."

Xia Chuyu looked sideways: "What is the seal of the Celestial Master?"

"The seal of the celestial master is the mark that appears on the forehead when the celestial master comprehends the way of heaven in the process of cultivation. Anyone who can understand the seal of the celestial master will have a higher level of cultivation and spiritual power, and be invincible in the world. This celestial master's knot Yin has disappeared for a hundred years, and no one in the world has seen it before, but now someone has realized it."

Xia Chuyu listened to Lin Hexiang's words, and looked at the beam of light not far away: "Senior, I need to go out of the city."

"To find this person?"

Xia Chuyu nodded, and said to Le Zhen who was beside her, "You stay here with senior, it's safer."

After finishing speaking, he turned into smoke and left.
