Sword cuts mountains and rivers

There was a sound of "bang bang bang" outside the courtyard door, and the whole village was very quiet, which attracted attention especially.Ye Wanqing clenched the long sword in his hand, and he went to the door. There was a mirror inside the door, and the evil spirit charm outside could show the ghost body in the mirror.

A pale grimace appeared in the mirror. The female ghost was wearing a red dress, her hair almost covered half of her face, her nails were very long, and she stood vacantly outside the door, her facial features could not be seen clearly.

Ye Wanqing was attracted by the female ghost's movement, he made a silent gesture, just now he heard what the little girl seemed to say, but he couldn't hear the female ghost's movement outside.

It's too late to ask now.

Xue Lan leaned over and said a few words to the little girl, but he couldn't hear clearly here, so he glared at Xue Lan and asked Xue Lan to come over quickly.

"You've got the wrong person, I'm not."

There were some fuzzy gray eyes in the little girl's eyes. She stared at Xue Lan for a long time, and said in a low voice, "It's really different. My brother's soul is half missing, and he looks very weak."

Xue Lan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and touched the little girl's head with a gentle voice, "Don't tell anyone else about this, it's a secret between us."

Children like secrets the most, and they are so unspoken, with a sense of mystery.

The little girl nodded.

Ye Wanqing's expression was tense, he was looking at the evil spirit outside through the small mirror, the female ghost seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly raised her face, revealing her facial features that were obscured by her hair.

He saw an extremely distorted face, which seemed to be in front of him, he subconsciously took a small step back, clenched the long sword tightly, and his fingertips became cold.

There were constant knocks on the door, and the temperature came from Ye Wanqing's wrist. Xue Lan touched his fingertips and found that his fingers were very cold, and seemed to laugh slightly.

"Fear?"

It's not that Ye Wanqing has never seen Xie Chong before, but it was a long time ago. Now that he is in close contact with him, his sword aura is unstable, so it is inevitable that he is a bit unfamiliar.

"You can't open the door for her. It's useless to open the door with evil spirit talismans. If you let her in today, evil spirits will be able to come in every day in the future."

Ye Wanqing understood Xue Lan's meaning, avoided Xue Lan's fingertips, and asked, "Shall we go to Yinlin tomorrow?"

Xue Lan hummed, "There is evil here, find out the reason first. Don't think so much today, just rest here first."

The little girl looked at the two of them dubiously, and Xue Lan set up an enchantment in the yard to cover up the sound of the evil knocking on the door outside.

"You two can't live in vain, you must go to deal with evil spirits tomorrow."

"I'm right next door with Grandpa, if you have anything to ask us."

The little girl spoke sternly, and led the two of them to the side room. The house here is very old, and the side room has been tidied up, enough for the two of them to make do for a night.

Ye Wanqing felt in her arms, remembering that the last time Qi Jin hadn't finished eating the candy he gave him, he took out two candies and stuffed them into the little girl's palm.

He accidentally touched the little girl's fingers, the little girl's fingers were cold, and when he touched her, the little girl quickly withdrew her hand, held the candy and said "thank you", and then left.

There were only the two of them left in the side room. The eaves here were very low. Ye Wanqing had to bend over when entering. There was a rotten smell of heavy wood in the room, which was very unpleasant.

Ye Wanqing planned to meditate until dawn, but before he closed his eyes, he felt something was wrong with the back of his hand, and when he looked down, it seemed to be blue.

He saw Xue Lan not knowing what to look at at the edge of the opposite window, and asked, "Are you keeping watch?"

Xue Lan looked outside for a while, then quickly looked away, hummed, looked at him and said, "Did you find anything?"

He didn't know why, but Xue Lan didn't want to say any more, he just paused for a moment and said, "It seems that we should bring more princes out to practice in the future."

Ye Wanqing didn't understand what it meant, he meditated until dawn, and when he opened the door the next morning, there was no movement outside the door.

There were two corpses in the yard, one belonged to an old man and the other belonged to a little girl. Part of the corpses of the two were decomposed, and they seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Ye Wanqing was a little stunned, the little girl was fine yesterday, she was still able to jump and dance, it looked like she was dead for more than two or three days.

He turned to look at Xue Lan, and Xue Lan said to him, "They have been dead for a month, and there is mercury grass on the corpses. This kind of grass can preserve the corpses to a certain extent."

"The little girl you saw yesterday is her soul. She was wearing black clothes yesterday. She tricked us in because she wanted us to help them settle their bones, and to tell us about the evil things going on here."

"Now the last wish is gone, and she is gone."

Ye Wanqing was a little dazed when he heard this, he didn't know about it at all, his fingertip was bruised, and the memory of the day before came to him, and he remembered that when he was giving the little girl candy, he touched the little girl's finger.

It's cold and cold, unlike ordinary people's temperature.

The line on his lips was tight, no wonder Xue Lan asked him if he saw anything, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"If I tell you, I'm afraid you won't want to stay in this yard."

Ye Wanqing was speechless and had nothing to say, the two of them buried the bodies of their grandfather and grandson together, Ye Wanqing found out when she was burying them, the little girl was still holding the candy he gave last night.

He buried the little girl himself, and finally put all the candies in front of the unnamed tablet.

Then they went to check other families, and the rest of the houses were similar, and there was not a single living person in the entire village.

"Why is this so, the enchantment Xiaojunlan gave them doesn't work?"

"The enchantment can prevent evil spirits, but it may not be able to prevent people." Xue Lan said to him with a light voice, "In this way, all our clues will be broken. Where will the prince go next?"

"The arrival of Xiaojunlan in this city means that there is something to check, and it may involve something we shouldn't know."

Xue Lan's eyes were dark and his voice was very soft, "Do you want to continue the investigation?"

"Is it related to Xiaojunlan?" Ye Wanqing was not interested at all, he thought about it in a blink of an eye, and said calmly, "You know a lot."

"How well a city is managed often depends on the outside of the city and the secret areas of the city. As the saying goes, 'The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the roads are frozen to death', it is the same as today's Luoxiao City."

Ye Wanqing turned his head around a little, and understood Xue Lan's meaning a little bit. He remembered what he had heard before, and now the aristocratic clan is very afraid of Xiao Junlan.

Looking at it now, maybe not only the aristocratic family, but also the royal family, Xiao Junlan is really a hater.

"The evil spirits are all in the Yin Forest, we might as well go to the Yin Forest to have a look."

Xue Lan hummed, "Many disciples are in Yinlin now, and I will hide my body and follow Shizi next time."

"Don't worry, let's go around the village again to see if we can find any clues."

Evil spirits will never appear out of nowhere, there must be an opportunity.Ye Wanqing and Xue Lan went door to door looking for clues separately. He searched every house, and when he searched one of the houses, he found a dark room in the family's side courtyard.

He didn't notice it at first, and accidentally touched the mural on the wall, and the door of the dark room on the side slowly opened.

There was no light in the dark room, giving people a very gloomy and cold feeling. At the end of the long corridor was an altar, and there were tributes on the table... Although it was rotten, it was easy to see that the offerings were not good things.

There was blood on the table, there was no altar on the altar, there was only a note in the middle, Ye Wanqing picked up the note, on it were many cold spells that made people feel uncomfortable.

What is written in the middle is a scrawled and crooked font.

: Xiao Junlan, the only son of the Murong family.

Ye Wanqing looked around, there was no sign that anyone had been here, and it was definitely not a good thing for his name to appear on the altar, so he put the paper away and hid it in his sleeve.

As he went out, his thoughts were a little wandering, the only son of the Murong family?This should refer to Xiao Junlan's original identity, he didn't know the current Murong family.

However, there is the Murong family who has fallen. The Murong family was originally a famous martyr. Their family has guarded Kyushu for generations. They are known as the patron saint of Kyushu.

Ye Wanqing saw Xue Lan not far away. He withdrew his thoughts and asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"I found this in a family's home."

Xue Lan handed over a booklet, this kind of book is usually used to practice calligraphy, and there are some pretty handwriting on it, it seems to be used as a diary by its owner.

At the beginning, the records were trivial things, and then one day, people began to record that people died in the village, and the handwriting on the booklet became more and more illegible.

: Every night in the village, someone would knock on the door. If the door is not opened, people will die, and if the door is opened, people will die. This day can not be passed

: I don't know when it will be my turn...

: Maybe it's coming to me tonight, because I found that evil temple in the Yin Lin...

:I did not expect that……

Evil Temple?

Ye Wanqing flipped through the pamphlet, he didn't see the evil temple in Yinlin yesterday.

"It says that the Temple of the Evil God is in the Yin Forest. It seems that we have to go there."

Xue Lan had no objection, and naturally followed him. They wasted some time in the village, and at night they found a temple in the depths of the Yin Forest. I don't know if it was the one written in the pamphlet.

It's dark now, it's not suitable for them to go in again, Ye Wanqing plans to meet up with his disciples the next day and then go to the evil temple together.

That night, he and Xue Lan had to make do in the cave. Xue Lan found a lot of dry firewood outside, and then laid a barrier outside the cave. The dry firewood was piled together and lit, and the firelight reflected half of the wall.

"Find the key to get out of the secret realm, so we can get the key after we find out the truth."

"Secret realms are usually like this."

While adding firewood to the fire, Xue Lan took off his robe and sat down on the floor.

He thought that Xue Lan was very particular, and imitated Xue Lan to take off his coat, but it was a bit cold after taking it off, so he didn't take it off, and moved closer to the firewood pile.

It rained in the dark forest in the middle of the night, and Ye Wanqing hated rainy days. Xue Lan took care of him once, and now she is still very considerate. Finally, she put her robe on him and talked with him all the time.

At the back, he half leaned on Xue Lan's arms. Xue Lan was very warm. He was pale, and he didn't pay attention when the things in his sleeve fell off, until Xue Lan read it in his ear.

"Only use my remnant body to enshrine Xiao Junlan, the only son of the Murong family. I hope the Lord will take pity on me, and I will sacrifice my life for my Lord forever..."

With dark eyes and a gentle voice, Xue Lan whispered in his ear, "Where did you find this?"
