Shengshuiyuan

Ming Tsui Building

On a sunny afternoon after the rain, a group of more than a dozen men and women of different looks and heights were talking and laughing while eating in a tavern.A girl with orange hair and two buns tied on her head, about twelve or thirteen years old, put down her chopsticks and stood up, with her hands on her hips puffed up her cheeks, and said indignantly at the crowd

"Can't you believe what I say?"

Instead, the orange-haired girl walked towards the door of the tavern, raised her hand, and pointed to the sky.

"If what I say is true, a handsome guy will fall from the sky in no time!"

Just the second after the girl finished speaking, there was a loud "boom", and the ground of the tavern was suddenly smashed into a deep hole by an object falling from the sky.

The dust dissipated, everyone approached curiously, and unexpectedly saw a man in white clothes with a delicate face, fainted in the deep pit covered in blood.

Raising his eyebrows lightly, looking at the people in the deep pit, Marquis Luno looked at the orange-haired girl who was stupefied and hadn't reacted for a while, and said with a teasing smile

"We believe what you said, and it seems that a handsome guy really fell from the sky."

Instead, Marquis Luno put away his teasing expression and looked at Mino who was beside him. Mino took the order, spread his palms and placed a barrier beside everyone to prevent others from approaching.

Lantiere frowned slightly and raised his head, looked at the sky where the man in white fell, and turned to look at Li Muyan who was helping the unconscious man lying in the deep pit to check his injuries.

"How is his injury?"

Exhaling lightly, Li Muyan eased his frowning brows and stood up.

"The wound is deep and fatal everywhere. It seems that the person who injured him wanted his life."

In turn, Li Muyan hesitated to speak but stopped

"The color of his blood doesn't look human."

The orange-haired girl squatted down and approached the seriously injured man, gently moved her nose and smelled the man's breath.

"Well, the blood is very fragrant. It smells like the pure blood of the royal blood of the ghost clan."

Raising his eyebrows lightly, his eyes full of disbelief, Natsu squatted down and approached the orange-haired girl.

"You can smell it all, are you a dog nose?"

Hearing that Naz actually said that he was a dog, Meteor with orange hair and bun head, was furious and jumped up.Chasing after Natsu who had run away to gloat.

Looking at Meteor and Natsu, who were as naughty as children, Youze exhaled lightly, looked at Babur and said,

"Take him to the guest room first, he is seriously injured, please don't hurt him."

Nodding lightly, Babur squatted down, carefully picked up the seriously injured man in the pit, and walked to the guest room on the left side of the third floor.

When everyone was walking towards the room where the seriously injured man was placed, Lantiyer stopped, and suddenly felt a sinister breath, which was fleeting.Looking at the place where the dangerous aura disappeared, Lantiere not only curled his lips slightly, but his expression became more serious.

The warm sunlight shone on the beautifully carved big bed. On the bed, a man in white clothes with a delicate face suddenly sat up from the bed as if awakened from a nightmare, and looked at the strange room in shock, eyes full of confusion and a little at a loss.

Just when the man's eyes were pale and he hadn't reacted, the door was opened from the outside, and a blond boy in a blue and white dress, holding a bowl of medicinal juice in one hand, walked into the room slowly.

"Although the wound is healed, it is better to rest more because of the excessive blood loss."

Relieved, the man in white looked at the blond boy who handed the medicine bowl to him and said,

"Where am I?"

Putting the medicine bowl on the table, the pale blond boy sat by the bed of the man in white and smiled lightly.

"This is the Mingcui Tower. At noon yesterday, you fell from the sky. I saw that you were seriously injured and saved you."

After listening to the light blond boy's words, the man in white knew that the other party was his savior. Regardless of his weak body, the man in white was about to get out of bed to be grateful, but he held the light blond boy's arm with one hand, helped him back to the bed, and lifted him up. Passed the concoction on the table to the man in white, and said softly

"You are still weak, you should drink this medicine first."

The man in white took the thick concoction from the boy's hand, frowned slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

Watching the man in white drink up the medicine juice in the medicine bowl, the blond boy raised his hand, and a plate of fresh and delicious preserved fruits of various colors appeared in the palm of the boy. The blond boy handed the preserved fruits and said

"The good medicine tastes bitter, come and eat a piece of preserved fruit to neutralize it."

Taking a bite of the candied fruit handed over by the boy, the man in white suddenly looked at the blond boy with a solemn expression and said,

"Don't you ask me who I am and why I was injured so badly?"

Before the blond boy could say anything, a refreshing male voice said at the door.

"You are the current ghost king of the ghost clan, Cangming."

Eyes full of surprise, he looked up at the door and walked into the room. The man with white hair and animal ears, the man named Cang Ming said,

"How did you know my identity and name?"

A girl with orange hair and bun head jumped into the room, squinted and smiled innocently, pointed to her nose and said

"Because of my nose, I could smell the blood on your body when you were injured. You belong to the royal family of the ghost clan. Besides, the current second prince of the royal clan of the ghost clan has a vicious and cruel personality, so it must not be you. So, you are the current Ghost King Cangming!"

Exhaling lightly, Cang Ming looked at Lan Tier and said

"Although I know it's rude to say this, after all, you have saved me, can I make a request?"

Nod lightly, Rantiyer said

"Please say."

Stretching out his hand, an emerald green jade flute appeared in his hand, Cang Ming continued:

"Can you help me find the owner who can fit this jade flute?"

Looking at the jade flute that obviously exudes a powerful aura, Lantiere said with eyes full of doubts

"May I ask, who is the owner of this jade flute?"

Caressing the cold jade flute, Cangming suddenly said softly with eyes full of

"The owner of this jade flute is my most important person."

Holding the jade flute tightly, Cangming hesitated to speak

"Moreover, the owner of this jade flute may know the whereabouts of the Kunlun mirror, an artifact that our ghost clan lost hundreds of years ago and has been guarded for generations."

Taking a sip of tea, Li Muyan said with great interest

"Kunlun mirror? It is said that the Kunlun mirror can deal with all monsters and monsters. If a ghost touches it, it will be dissipated. If a monster touches it, it will disappear. Those with evil thoughts will do the opposite and bring disaster to the world."

Slightly frowning, Lantiyer turned to look at Cang Mingdao

"It seems that it is a very dangerous artifact. How did the Kunlun Mirror get lost?"

Sighing lightly, Cangming said regretfully

"Because of a civil strife back then, everyone came to the Kunlun Mirror and the owner of the jade flute disappeared. We searched for a long time and found no information about where he and the Kunlun Mirror went."

Taking the jade flute from Cangming's hand, Lantier slightly pursed his lips, and said with deep eyes

"Since you want to hide it, you will naturally not be found easily."

Clenching his palms tightly, Cangming said firmly

"I believe that he must not have stolen the Kunlun mirror, he is not such a person!"

Shrugging lightly, Natsu, who was leaning against the door, said contemptuously

"Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, who knows if he stole it."

Hearing Naz's impolite words, Rantiyer said coldly

"Natsu!"

Naz was speechless, shut up quickly.

Squinting and smiling with meaningful eyes, Lantier looked at Cang Ming and said

"Then how did you get hurt so badly?"

Shaking his head lightly, he hesitated to speak, Cangming didn't know where to start.

While everyone was chatting in the room, a hasty knock on the door interrupted the originally quiet tavern.

Opening the door, looking at the waiter panting heavily and anxious eyes, Youze frowned lightly and asked

"Second brother, is there something urgent about knocking on our door so urgently?"

Swallowing his saliva lightly, the second brother soothed his turbulent mood, and said anxiously with eyes full

"The guest is not good, come out and take a look! Something big happened!"

Everyone heard what the second brother said, and all the people in the guest room came out of the room.

In the third guest room on the left, a burly and tall spectator shouted

"What happened?"

The little second brother turned around, looked at the burly guest, and said with white eyes

"Last night, the whole city panicked. The Ji Mansion in the west of the city had a family of 130 and five people overnight. None of them were spared and all of them were killed. The death conditions were extremely tragic. When the police arrived, they saw that everyone's bodies had turned into mummified corpses. !"

After listening to the second brother's words, all the guests in the tavern were in an uproar.

Before everyone could recover, there was a heart-piercing scream in front of the tavern door.

Everyone searched for the sound and came to the gate of the tavern. They saw a passerby fall to the ground, pointing forward with trembling fingers, and shouted in horror.

"Walking corpse!! Walking corpse!!!"

Speaking of passers-by, they staggered and ran away before everyone approached like crazy.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by passers-by, and all passers-by and tavern guests turned pale and frightened for a moment.

All the passers-by saw a corpse with a hideous face, a withered body, and obviously twisted hands and feet in the middle of the road, walking slowly on the street.There is still a trace of humanity in the walking corpse. With difficulty opening its dry lips, it suddenly grasped a woman's wrist, and said slowly

"Help... help... help me..."

A passerby on the side of the road plucked up his courage and walked forward, forcefully broke the hand of the walking corpse holding the woman's wrist, and rescued the woman who was frightened and crying.

Suddenly, a fat man with animal ears shouted

"Look at that! Isn't this walking corpse the master of the Ji family!"

With the help of Lantiere, Cang Ming came to the door of the tavern with a full face and a weak face, looked at the bewildered walking corpse on the side of the road, and suddenly said with eyes full of surprise

"He became like this because the Kunlun mirror was demonized, and people were sucked up to become like this!"

Amid everyone's astonishment, the walking corpse of the master of the Ji family finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground without moving.

Seeing that the innocent master of the Ji family also suffered bad luck, Lantiere frowned and said

"It's time to go to Ji's mansion to see tonight."

Chengxi Jifu

The Ji Mansion, which was originally full of vitality, turned into a hellish purgatory overnight after yesterday's misfortune as night fell. There were piles of corpses. Because there were too many dead, the darkness and horror made people tremble instinctively.

Looking at the shriveled corpses piled up all over the ground in the Ji Mansion with solemn eyes, Rantiier's expression became more serious.

Suddenly there was a scream from behind, everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the scream, Meteor raised his eyes full of disgust and accidentally stepped on the footpath of the mummy

"Hey! How disgusting!"

When everyone was walking in the Ji Mansion full of corpses, a hazy figure in the darkness attracted everyone's attention.

The moon emerged from the clouds in the sky, illuminating a man squatting among the corpses.

Everyone saw that the person squatting on the ground was actually a man in red and black clothes.Sensing everyone's gaze, the man turned around, squinting and smiling, revealing his teeth.

After seeing the other party clearly, Cangming opened his eyes wide in surprise, and was speechless for a while.

The man in red and black turned to look at Cang Ming, squinted and smiled happily.

"Hey! Cangming, long time no see!"

The next moment, after the man in red and black finished speaking, a figure quickly approached the man in red and black at an extremely fast speed, and hit him hard against the wall behind him, smashing the wall into a deep hole.

The man in red and black didn't feel angry at Cang Ming's sudden attack on him, he still smiled and said

"Your way of saying hello is very special!"

Cangming watched as he slowly walked down the deep pit, the man in red and black patted the dust on his body, clenched his palms and said angrily.

"During the civil strife, why did you keep silent and disappear with the Kunlun Mirror, and why are you here now?"

Putting away his hippie smile, the man in red and black said seriously

"I said, I didn't steal the Kunlun Mirror. I came here because I felt the breath of the Kunlun Mirror. Would you believe it?"

Looking at Cang Ming who pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, the man in red and black smiled bitterly and said,

"I know, even you are willing to believe me..."

Just as the man in red and black was about to turn around, someone squeezed his hand.

After turning around with eyes full of surprise, he looked at Cang Ming who was holding his hand tightly, and Cang Ming suddenly said softly:

"You know, I said I would always believe in you back then, and until now, I still firmly believe in you, no matter right or wrong."

The man in red and black stretched out his eyes full of emotion, stretched out his hand to caress Cang Ming's hair and said

"Cangming..."

Before everyone could react, more than a dozen shriveled corpses that hadn't reacted suddenly twisted their bodies without warning, and climbed up from the ground strangely.There was a beast-like humming sound from his mouth, and at an extremely fast speed, his withered and dull hands turned into sharp claws, and attacked Lan Tier and the others.

Seeing the fierce battle between a dozen walking corpses and the others around Lantiere, dozens of walking corpses got up from the ground one after another. The man in red and black squatted down and approached a body in a fine dress on the ground. The next moment, the brown eyes of the man in red and black suddenly turned blood red and he slightly raised his lips, smiling evilly.

"It's time to wake up."

Turn to look at the large corpse walk behind

"Destroy them."

The next moment, the corpse on the ground twisted and stood up under the words of the man in red and black.The walking corpse that stood up took the lead, roared, and quickly attacked the other walking corpses.

Standing up, looking at Cangming beside him, the man in red and black said:

"During the civil turmoil, I was suddenly attacked and fainted. When I woke up, I found that the Kunlun mirror was gone. I searched for so many years but couldn't find the Kunlun mirror, so I didn't go back."

After listening to the words of the man in red and black, Lantiyer slightly raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, eyes full of interest.

Fairview Villa

In the garden, Lantiyer looked at the man in red and black and smiled lightly.

"Don't know your name yet?"

Picking up a pear on the table and taking a big bite, the man in red and black clothes mumbled in his mouth

"My name is Ji Fei..."

Cang Minghei with a sullen face, slapped the man in red and black on the back of the head and said,

"Eat before talking."

Quickly swallowing his mouth full of pear meat, the man in red and black solemnly introduced himself

"My name is Gale."

Instead, Lantiyer looked at Cang Ming and asked

"I haven't had time to ask the reason this morning. If it's convenient, can you tell us the reason for your injury?"

Hearing that Cangming was injured, the man who claimed to be Haifeng was full of nervousness, and he held Cangming's hand tightly.

"You're hurt, tell me, who did it!"

Withdrawing his clenched hand, Cangming said indifferently

"This time I wanted to come to Ning'an to investigate the Kunlun mirror, but I was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown people on the way. That's why I got injured."

Frowning slightly, Li Muyan said

"Do you know who hurt you?"

Shaking his head lightly, Cang Ming said with a sad face

"I don't know who attacked me."

The moment Cangming finished speaking, in the pool in the middle of the garden, a leopard-body, one-horned, and eagle-beaked strange beast suddenly appeared on the water surface. The strange beast saluted Cangming lightly with eyes full of respect, and said nervously.

"My lord, something is wrong. I don't know who is causing the trouble. It's just hearsay. It actually said that you and Master Haifeng conspired to steal the Kunlun Mirror back then. The purpose is to disturb the peace of the mainland. I don't know where the so-called Witnesses, physical evidence. Two days later, you will be interrogated by the five parties of the ghost clan, and if the evidence is convincing..."

After Yi Beast finished speaking, his head was suddenly dripping with cold sweat, and he stopped talking, not knowing how to continue to say the following words.

Cangming's face was serious, he frowned and looked at the strange beast and asked

"What will happen if the evidence is conclusive?"

Swallowing his saliva lightly, the beast continued

"I will punish my lord...by cutting off the horns and removing the name of the clan to drive out the ghost clan!"

Looking at Cang Ming who clenched his palms tightly and his face was pale, Gai Feng clenched Cang Ming's hands tightly and said with horror in his eyes

"Cangming, you can't go, it's obviously someone else's conspiracy. You can't fall into the trap of the other party!"

Waved to let the beast leave, the expression on Cang Ming's face was a bit deeper.

Lantiere frowned slightly at night, put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Behind him, Li Muyan sipped his tea lightly

"The five-party trial is the trial of the ghost clan against the high-ranking royal family. All the high-ranking elders of the ghost clan will appear in the trial, and all the dignified people of the ghost clan will participate in the trial. There are hundreds of people from the royal family and important ministers present. The dragon clan is the same, the ghost clan has always been proud, and the face of the royal family is more important than anything else. When this happens, there are so-called witnesses, and the physical evidence is already very difficult. Moreover, no one argues for the ghost king."

Li Muyan, stood up and looked at Lan Tierdao in front of the window.

"Rantier, what do you think about this matter, is there a solution?"

Before Lantiere said anything, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Cang Ming stood at the door.Lan Thiel looked at the person who came, and slightly curled his lips into a wicked smile.
