The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path

Lin Shu understood what they meant.

According to ancient books, Hu Ji was born after the plague was rampant and thousands of people died.And five years ago, Jiangzhou, not far from here, also happened to have a plague.

After all, ancient medicine was limited. Once a plague was born, if the treatment was not enough, the plague would spread and cause a large area of ​​death.According to Cang Min, the plague five years ago was fortunately survived without any danger.

But Ling Xiao changed the subject quickly, and mentioned the dead people here.

Could it be that he suspected that these dead people had something to do with the plague?

If so many people really died from the plague, it would meet the conditions for Hu Yan to be born.However, if this is the case, how could these corpses come to the bottom of the cliff in the abyss of ghosts?Moreover, this is also inconsistent with Cang Min's "scare but no danger".

Lin Shu looked at Ling Xiao.

I saw Ling Xiao's eyes were cold, sweeping over the mountain of bones, as if he was thinking about something.

Cang Min looked at the ancient book, and said: "The several appearances of the huqian recorded here are all after the great epidemic. It is said that the people who died suddenly had a lot of resentment, blended with the sickness, and gave birth to evil things."

Ling Xiao said: "There must be deception about Jiangzhou's affairs."

Cang Min said: "It would be too bold for the county guard to lie and conceal the epidemic situation. And how did these corpses end up in the Abyss of Thousand Ghosts?"

Ling Xiao said: "I will investigate."

After all, he said, "There is one more thing."

Cang Min: "How?"

Ling Xiao took out the cold jade box that sealed the "Huanyang" lotus, opened it, and said, "Smell the fragrance."

Previously in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the air was too damp and cold, and there were many rancid smells from evil things, so Lin Shu couldn't smell it clearly. Now that he was out of that ghostly place, when Ling Xiao opened the box, Lin Shu immediately Asked about a very light, indistinct aroma.

If the fragrance is a little stronger, it will be very similar to the scent of incense candles in Buddhist halls.

He immediately thought of the necklace pendants hung by the two woodcutter brothers who killed them.

He heard from Ling Xiao that there was a scent for worship on the pendant before, and he wondered if it was some kind of cult organization, but now that he thinks about it—the two brothers could not be the evil things that returned the Yang by relying on "returning the Yang" Bar?

Hu Ji is very powerful, and it will take many years to recover his yang. However, it is still easy for one or two young men with little magic power to return their yang.

Ling Xiao said lightly: "Try it and you will know."

He picked up Lin Shu and jumped up the cliff, and Cang Min followed.

The cat untied the barrier, and the two brothers were still hanging in despair, but they didn't break free. When they saw them coming, they immediately struggled excitedly and said, "Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder, please spare us!"

——Obviously they had malicious intentions before, and they wanted to cooperate with Tieteng Teng to kill them. Before them, they did not know how many people who came to Wanguiyuan successfully killed, but they still asked "forgive us", but everyone has a little No one with self-knowledge would be so delusional.

Therefore, the performance of these two people from the beginning to the end was really a bit exaggerated, which made Lin Shu more sure of his conjecture.

And anyone with an uncomplicated brain circuit like myself can think of it, and my cousin can think of it even more.

Ling Xiao got them up, watched the two brothers struggle and beg for mercy, and opened the cold jade box again.

The moment "Huanyang" emerged from the cold jade box, the two brothers were stunned, their bodies were stiff, their eyes were dull, and they looked at Ling Xiao slowly: "You...you... .”

Ling Xiao said: "How about us?"

The boss suddenly struggled excitedly: "Damn you!"

Cang Min said: "Since you have paid back the yang, you can just live in peace. It is unreasonable to hurt others and say we deserve to die!"

Boss: "Bah!"

Ling Xiao's tone softened at this time: "You stay here, kill people, and nourish Guiyuan, but what are your difficulties?"

The eldest brother and the second child said in unison: "Damn you!"

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "The Jiangzhou plague five years ago, could it be related to this matter?"

The eldest brother and the second child said in unison: "Bah!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand slightly, and a cluster of reddish flames ignited at the fingertips: "If you don't say it, you have to burn your souls for torture."

Boss and second child: "Bah!"

Ling Xiao didn't care how forcefully their "bah" was, and just continued: "If you say it, someone will make decisions for you."

The eldest brother and the second child said in unison: "We don't believe it!"

Lin Shu: "..."

Now that they say they don't believe, it means that someone really needs someone to make decisions for them.These two people were evil creatures with low mana before returning to the sun, and their brains were obviously not working well after returning to the sun.

"The two of you brothers are waiting here. If anyone comes, no matter whether it is a fairy or a mortal, they will be tricked off the cliff and killed. Since you are there, there must be other evil things that will turn into living people. People, lure them here, and let you kill them. Over time, there will be many people." Ling Xiao said: "If it is an immortal, who looks older and seems to have extraordinary cultivation, let him go. How many of us have you seen today? All of them are teenagers, expected to have little magic power, but accidentally capsized the boat, but so?"

The two brothers stared at him, dumbfounded.

Lin Shu felt empathy for their dumbfoundedness.

——Is my cousin's IQ beyond the imagination of mere mortals like us?It is too little to draw inferences from one example, and it is more than enough to draw inferences. As long as there is a clue, the whole thing can be deduced.

After the two people were dumbfounded, it took almost an incense stick of time to slow down.

The second child said, "There are also sleeping ghosts."

Ling Xiao: "Sleeping Ghost?"

"The official collects taxes and can't pay them. He just wants to die, so we brought him here, saying that if he jumps off the cliff, he will live a better life in the next life!" The boss laughed: "There are the most of them, and they are a family when they come."

It turns out that this tax is not sleeping.

"In this way, you have hated the dynasty for a long time." Ling Xiao's voice was very low, as if talking to himself: "Where does this resentment come from? It was probably during the plague in Jiangzhou. Tens of thousands of living people threw themselves into the abyss of ghosts, entwined with resentment and sickness, gave birth to Huji, and Huji raised you..."

The two brothers said in unison again: "Damn you!"

Ling Xiao asked, "How many people did you kill?"

Old Daoist: "There are too many to count."

"How many tax ghosts?"

"I can't count."

"How many medicine seekers?"

"Uncountable!"

"How many immortal cultivators?"

"A dozen or so!"

"How many of you are there?"

"Uncountable!"

Ling Xiao said: "It can be regarded as a big undertaking."

"No!"

A cold light flashed, and there were two "dong" and "dong", two heads fell to the ground, and blood spattered.

Ling Xiao withdrew his knife and said, "Let's go."

Cang Min's face was pale, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, only said "um".

On the way, he asked again: "What about the other evil things that turned into people?"

Ling Xiao said: "I sent a letter to Sister Xiao, and she will mobilize Tulongwei to thoroughly investigate Mr. Youfang and the missing cases in the six nearby states and villages."

Cang Min said: "Yes."

After walking out of the realm of Ten Thousand Ghosts, Ling Xiao reached out and untied Lin Shu's snow fox cloak, put it away, and asked him, "Did I scare you when I killed someone just now?"

Lin Shu shook his head.

Ling Xiao said: "That's good."

Lin Shu thought, those two people were manipulated by Hu Ji to kill mortals and nourish the abyss of ghosts with their lives.

And Hu Ji mostly relied on the living people who were killed to increase his strength, increasing his strength over and over again, while waiting to return Yanghua people, if they were not discovered by them, if they succeed, it must be a big disaster.

It's just that the reason is a bit embarrassing.

In the evening, they settled down at an inn in a small town.

In the middle of the night, Lin Shu was about to go to sleep, but the door was knocked.Opening the door, it was Ling Xiao who came next door.

Cousin said: "I have to go."

Lin Shu couldn't digest the meaning of these words for a moment: "Huh?"

Ling Xiao came in, sat down at the table, poured two cups of tea, and said, "Sister Xiao told me to protect you up to Huandang Mountain, and I feel that I did a good job protecting you."

Naturally good.

It's not just good, it's perfect.

Cousin continued: "Now that the matter here is over, I am in Jianghu, Jiangzhou Chen, so I can't intervene. Sister Cha Xiao is free, and I can come to pick you up soon... I want to Go back to the mountain to practice, you and I will say goodbye."

Lin Shu was a little bit reluctant for a while, and didn't know what to say. After looking at Ling Xiao for a long time, he could only say: "Take care."

The cousin smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched his nose.

Lin Shu: "..."

Second time!

Only my cousin said in a warm voice: "You should also take good care of yourself."

Lin Shu: "Yes."

"I don't know when we will meet again next time, and I don't have anything to give you," Ling Xiao said, "I just went out and bought this outside."

He took out a simple flowing cloud white jade hairpin, put it on the table, and said: "It's not a rare thing, but I think it will look good on you."

He seems to have gotten used to accepting things from the eldest lady, but he is still a little nervous about accepting gifts from his cousin.Lin Shu thought for a while, he had nothing to give back to his cousin, and he could only say: "I don't have anything..."

Cousin smiled and said: "Then you can prepare it later, and send me off when we meet next time."

Lin Shu: "OK."

Ling Xiao looked at him again, and said, "Go to bed early, I'll be leaving in a while, there's no need to see him off."

Lin Shu felt that he had a lot to say, but limited by his language skills, he didn't say anything, so he could only say: "Be careful."

Ling Xiao said: "Naturally."

After that, he went to pet the cat again and said "I'm leaving".

The cat meowed, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Lin Shu looked at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao said: "Take care."

Lin Shu: "Take care."

There was a sound of the door, and the cousin's footsteps gradually moved away in the corridor. Lin Shu looked out through the window, and after seeing Ling Xiao's figure disappeared, there was only a full moon and a few lights outside, which made him feel a little bit in his heart. empty.

It was cold and windy late at night, so he closed the window and lay on the bed.Turned over a few times, couldn't sleep a little bit, thought to myself, the so-called sorrow of parting does exist in the relationship between people.If I have had such a friend in my previous life, I am afraid that I can get more points for ancient poetry appreciation and reading comprehension.

The next morning, he got up to go to dinner, and passed by his cousin's room, feeling a little unreal about last night's farewell.I also thought, after all, it is not easy to walk in the middle of the night, and maybe my cousin is still there, so I knocked on the door.

No one answered, but the latch was loose.

He pushed gently, and the door opened.

In front of the bronze mirror in the room, sat a red-clothed beauty in palace attire, with loose black hair, a pile of bottles and jars in front of her, and she was stroking her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

Lin Shu: "!"

The eldest lady turned her head and smiled sweetly: "You got up very early."

Miss, you came early too.
