Xianjun nodded, touched the horse's belly with his heel, and the two of them walked away.

It is early summer, the vegetation is flourishing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the sun is shining down, and the beauty is intoxicating.

The two of them had a good time along the way, Mo Wu was very honest, chatted with Xianjun about the mountains and rivers, and the interesting things they had encountered in these years, no one said anything that crossed the line, no one talked about what happened that day, as if What Mo Wu said to Xianjun in the room that day, that half-truth, half-truth, questioning that seemed to be a joke but implied sincerity, had never happened.

Not to mention, Xianjun certainly doesn't know how to say, the two of them had their own thoughts, and the time on the road passed in the blink of an eye.

A few days later, the two arrived in Lingcheng.

Lingcheng is not as big as Shangcheng they came to, and it is also backed by mountains. The population does not seem to be as large as Shangcheng. Mo Wu asked someone to inquire about the Qin Mansion, and after asking for a long time, someone pointed the way.

Mo Wudao thanked him, and when he turned around, he saw Xianjun coming back with a paper bag, without a rope in his hand, and the not-so-spirited horse followed him so docilely, looking very harmonious.

Mo Wu looked at the horse with a complicated expression, "Why is it so obedient?" Then he looked at the rein in his hand and the one beside him that kept kicking, wondering, "Why is there such a big difference between a horse and a horse?" ?!"

The one behind him kicked and gave him a blank look.

"All things have spirits, horses are very human, you can just praise it." Xianjun handed the paper bag forward, "sticky cake."

Mo Wu's eyes lit up, he took it with a smile, threw one into his mouth, looked at Xianjun, and said: "My cousin is so considerate, there must be many Nine Heavens Profound Girls in the fairy world fall in love with you, right?"

Xianjun paused, remembering Changbai chasing Nv Tianxuan to pull the matchmaker back then, smiled lightly, and said, "Eat your sticky cake."

"Sure enough," Mo Wuxin said, curling his lips, "I shouldn't have asked."

Xianjun's mind was full of Changbai's angry appearance back then, and he didn't hear Mo Wu's mumble.The two of them strolled through the market, and arrived outside the Qin Mansion not long after.

The gate is closed, and weeds are overgrown. It seems that it has been deserted for many years.

Mo Wu threw the last sticky cake into his mouth, and sighed with emotion, "It's like this everywhere in the Qin residence. You said that the ancestors of the Qin family were in a panic."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xianjun to speak, he sighed and said: "I don't know if he is worried or not, but I am quite worried anyway."

Xianjun smiled, and didn't care about his unreliable complaint. Someone happened to pass by, so Xianjun asked politely.

"The Qin residence? What? Are you here to visit relatives?" The speaker was an old man leaning on a walking stick, with many wrinkles and a long beard.

"This Qin family, it's really hard to say." The old man said shaking his head, "Most of us in Lingcheng rely on the mountains to eat, and we have residences in the mountains and in the city. Young people go to the deep mountains to dig medicinal materials and treasures, and then return to the mountains. The city is waiting for buyers to buy. Those who are young, and those who are too old and weak like me, will live in the city safely. That Mr. Qin is not a native of Lingcheng, and he seems to have a lot of family background. When he arrived in Lingcheng, he didn't go into the mountains like other young people. Instead, he opened several shops in the city, specializing in these deep mountain things, and made a lot of money. In addition, he was also a good-looking talent. At that time I don't know how many people are jealous!"

Xianjun listened quietly, and said after a while: "What happened next?"

"Later," the old man sighed, and said, "something went wrong. The things brought out from the deep mountains inevitably had some inexplicable things on them. Everyone knows this kind of thing, and it's usually not too troublesome. They all have their own ways of dealing with it. Mr. Qin has opened several shops, and this kind of thing should have happened quite a lot, but one time it got a little serious, and the ghost even broke into the Qin mansion."

"Qin House?" Mo Wu walked over, "Master, is this Qin House special?"

"That's not it!" It was rare for the uncle to meet two people from other places, and he was very happy to open the chatter box: "Then Mr. Qin, he is a bit crazy to be careful about ghosts and gods, and the neighbors in the neighborhood can't figure out what's going on when they talk about it. I heard that he found three Fengshui masters before buying the house, and after he settled on the house, he found someone to set up an unknown number of formations inside and outside the house. At first, the neighbors thought he wanted to gather wealth for the house. Yes, then the Feng Shui master let it out, and guess what?"

The old man said mysteriously: "It's all a formation to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits!" The old man shook his head, "This person lives in the city, how many ghosts can he encounter? I don't know what Mr. Qin thinks, it's like It’s like he’s afraid that someone will come to him and ask for his life.”

Xian Jun glanced at Mo Wu, and he understood, and said: "That spirit?"

"Ah, look at my memory, I said I forgot!" The old man continued: "The spirit was brought out from the deep mountains attached to medicinal materials. I heard that it was very honest at the beginning and was not discovered by anyone. After entering Mr. Qin's shop, he gradually revealed his true nature and began to toss and make Mr. Qin feel like an enemy. Unexpectedly, the monster was really powerful, and the Taoist priest in the city couldn't subdue it. Rushed to Qin's mansion, and kidnapped Mr. Qin!"

"Abducted?" Mo Wu blinked, what kind of development is this? !

"Oh, that's not it!" The old man sighed, "That monster didn't know what to think, like playing around, wounded a few Taoist priests who stopped him, then rushed to Qin's mansion, tied up Mr. Qin with a rope Once it was bundled, it just resisted and left! Everyone chased after it, but the ghost was like a gust of wind, where could it go? The Taoist priests organized a group of people to go into the deep mountains to find the place where the medicinal material was dug out. There is a clue, but unfortunately nothing was found, the neighbors also organized people to search for it. After half a month of searching, they only found a corner of Mr. Qin's clothes, but there was no sign of him..."

Xianjun said: "Since then, Mr. Qin has disappeared."

"Yeah, it's a pity, he's also a young man with outstanding talents..."

Xianjun thought about it, and said again: "How long has this happened?"

"It's been four or five years." The uncle pointed to the weeds growing at the gate of Qin's house, and said with emotion, "No one has taken care of them for four or five years. Look at how the grass grows."

Abbot Xuyun said that Little Sixth Master hadn't come back to visit the grave for five or six years, it seems that something happened the last time he came back from Shangcheng.

Xianjun lowered his eyes, moved his fingers, and made a simple divination. He looked at Mo Wu, "I have to go to the mountain."

"Enter the mountain?" The old man next to him quickly waved his hand, "You can't do it! You can't enter the mountain casually! The mountain on our side is not a lonely one. If you go deep into the mountains, if you don't have familiar mountain people to guide you, you will never be able to get out again!"

Xianjun said politely: "Master, is there any familiar mountain people who can take us for a ride?"

"Well... there is." The uncle thought for a while, and said: "Half of the people in our city rely on the mountains to eat, and there are many people who go to the mountains every day. Xiao Yang, who lives next door to my house, came back from the mountains a few days ago. The things in the house are all overturned, and I will go into the mountain again tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, the uncle hesitated, and worried: "You really want to go into the mountain? Could it be that you are going to find that Mr. Qin? You can't help it! I haven't found it for so many years. , the person must have disappeared a long time ago, what if you go in and tell yourself what to do inside!"

"It's okay, sir, we're amazing!" Mo Wuhun raised his eyebrows generously, the uncle wanted to persuade him again, but Xianjun explained a few words gently, the old man couldn't say anything more, hesitantly pointed out himself to them The direction of home, and then left with a walking stick shaking his head and sighing.

Mo Wu stepped forward to study the door. Naturally, when the sixth son of Qin was taken away, he didn't have time to lock the door, so the door opened with a slight push.The two entered the house and looked around, only to see overgrown weeds, but the house was not damaged. Although it was far from the grandeur of Qin's house in Shangcheng, the style didn't look much different, and it really felt like a father and son.

Mo Wu came out of the house, "Planting willows at the door, hanging five emperors' money in the house, there are probably more Zhong Kui statues than people in the house, plus so many Feng Shui arrays—I saw five from the door— ——This little Sixth Young Master is really careful."

Xianjun said: "After all, Miss Qin killed more than fifty members of the Qin family overnight, and the sixth son was just a child at that time, so it is understandable to be afraid."

"Have you always been so gentle with others?" Mo Wu glanced at him, "It's easy to be bullied like this."

After a pause, Xianjun listened to Mo Wu and said again: "But it's okay, at least when you are in the mortal world, I can guarantee that no one will dare to bully you."

These words sounded a bit strange, but his expression was very serious, like a five-year-old doll who wanted to protect a child.

Xianjun smiled and shook his head, a little helpless, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bent.

"What did the hexagram calculate just now?" Mo Wudao.

"I don't have mana right now, so I can't calculate much," Xianjun said, "I can only see that the person is still in the mortal world, but I can't tell the exact location."

Mo Wu said "Yes", "Then go to the mountain tomorrow and see."

The two walked around the market again, looked at some rare things in the deep mountains, and then followed the direction to find Xiao Yang's house that the old man said.The old man called the man Xiao Yang. In fact, the man was over 40 years old, because the old man had greeted him first, and he was not surprised to see them. He warmly led them to his home and arranged two guest rooms. .The two thanked each other, rested for the night, and went to the mountain early the next morning with the eldest brother surnamed Yang and the people who went into the mountain to hunt for treasure.

These people are all mountain people, simple and enthusiastic. I heard that the two of them came to look for Mr. Qin who disappeared a few years ago. Talking about this mountain again, the eldest brother surnamed Yang was very proud: "Our ancestors have been raised on this mountain for generations. There is everything in the mountain. If you are lucky, you can dig up some valuable rare grasses, enough for the whole family. Eat it for half a year! This mountain is deep, and it is said that the more you go in, the more treasures there are, but the inside is too dangerous. Even if we followed our elders to the mountain since we were young, we only dare to walk seven or eight miles, and we will never go ten miles away. in."

Mo Wudao: "What? Have you lost many people?"

"That's not it!" Brother Yang said: "We all know there are good things in it, but no one takes them, who doesn't care about them? But you have to have that life to get them, right?" Brother Yang shook his head and sighed, "every year There are young men who don’t believe in evil and dare to walk into the mountains, and then they never come back. Some old people say that there are terrible things in the mountains, and they will die if they touch them, and they will eat people!”

"Cannibalism?" Mo Wu didn't doubt it, and said, "Do you know what is that cannibal thing in the mountain?"

Brother Yang shook his head, "Then I don't know. No one who saw it came back, and the body couldn't be found, so everyone guessed that it was eaten, but no one knew what it was."

Xianjun said: "There is a lot of miasma in the mountains, there are countless snakes, insects and beasts, and there are many spirits and monsters. If you are not fully prepared, it is indeed very dangerous to enter the deep mountains rashly."

Mo Wu nodded and said nothing.

A group of people walked from morning to night, and it was only halfway.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the clouds were very thick, completely covering the moon and stars in the sky, and there was no light at all.Several mountain people found a space and set up a small fire, and took a rest at night, and several people took turns to watch the night.

At the ugly time of the day when the yin energy is at its strongest, Brother Yang and Xianjun happened to be on duty at night.

The two sat beside the fire, without speaking, and the surroundings were very quiet, only the crackling of the burning wood in the fire, and the soft cries of someone behind them.

Suddenly a gust of dark wind blew by, blowing the flames of the fire into chaos.Immediately afterwards, a heavy sound came from a distance. It was the sound of heavy iron chains being dragged on the ground. The penetrating coldness penetrates directly into the bones of people.

Brother Yang suddenly changed his expression, his pupils shrank, and the blood in his body became cold.He widened his eyes in horror, stood up suddenly after a while, stepped on the fire with his feet, and said to the people behind him who were awakened by the sound: "...It's an accident!"
