Chapter 8 Revisiting Guantou Town

A group of three people walked into the only room in the middle of the yard. Unlike the bright candlelight shining outside in the daytime, this room was extremely dark, but there were only a half-human standing in the northeast and southwest corners of the room. A tall wooden candlestick with two candles on each.This candle looks like an ordinary candle, but the candlelight is glowing with a strange blue light. Under this faint blue candlelight, the whole room exudes a sense of splendor.And in the center of the room stands a figure...

"It's just a statue." Mo Qu's cat eyes barely had to adapt to see the layout of the room shrouded in darkness, and at a glance he saw that the figure was nothing but a dead thing.Gu Zizhan and Ziqing also reacted, heaved a sigh of relief, and followed Mo Qu. Mo Qu took out a night pearl from his bosom, and the room became much brighter in an instant, but the atmosphere became more and more strange.

"Are you sure it's really a statue?" Gu Zizhan said to Mo leisurely.Under the light of the night pearl, the three of them finally saw the humanoid statue in the house clearly. It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing complicated white clothes, which made her complexion fairer and more translucent. She really deserved it. The words skin is like creamy fat. Although there is a seemingly innocent smile on the face, the arc of the corner of the mouth makes people shudder.

"It's just a wax figure made of high-quality wax oil. Folks use this method to restore the appearance of a person." Mo Qu said, walking around to the front of the wax figure, and saw the "girl" staring intently at her chest. Before, following her line of sight, Mo Qu saw a copper utensil that resembled a funnel, the tip of the utensil was hidden in the sleeve together with the girl's left hand.

Mo Qu couldn't help but want to find out, but he had to lift off the girl's white clothes.While hesitating, Ziqing suddenly stared intently at the back of the girl's neck, and then lifted the girl's clothes.

The beautiful carcass that should have appeared did not appear, and the three of them looked at the scene in front of them, and they were all a little dumbfounded.There may still be a young girl's body under the clothes, but that body seems to be transparent, a circle is drawn with the heart as the center, the closer to the heart, the more transparent.The three of them could clearly see the veins of the "vessels" in the body. The bright red liquid in the veins was more and more obvious under the almost transparent white skin, and the "vessels" stretched all the way to the girl's hand, and That funnel seems to be the end, but also the beginning.

Of course, the most intuitive impact is that the "vessels" of the girl's heart are quite densely distributed. Looking from the back, the pattern on the chest is exactly the red butterfly that has always been flirtatious. The butterfly seems to be frozen in the moment of dancing.Mo Qu was stunned, the butterfly seemed to have a kind of power, his black pupils were momentarily absent-minded.

"Look, is this the snow orchid?" Gu Zizhan pointed to the girl's left shoulder, looked along his hand, and saw a pure white blooming snow flower painted with paint under the butterfly-shaped heart. Orchid, just now their eyes were completely attracted by that weird butterfly, just now they saw this pure snow orchid, only to find that although the snow orchid is located under the butterfly, the curved tentacles of the butterfly are entwined with the thin stamens of this snow orchid Together, it is hard to tell if the red butterfly wants to touch the snow orchid, or the pure white orchid wants to surround the butterfly.

"It seems that this is the pattern that Master saw." Gu Zizhan said.

"Hmm..." Ziqing sighed inexplicably, and forced his eyes away from his back, looking at the copper funnel in the girl's hand.

Mo Qu has been looking at Ziqing. Since he found the butterfly just now, Ziqing seems to have been silent. When he just recovered, he seemed to be addicted to something. The aura around his body was empty, as if he was not here average.Thinking of what he saw just now, Mo Qu's pupils contracted indiscernibly.So Ziqing, what did you see again?

"There are wet blood stains in the funnel." Ziqing's indifferent voice interrupted Mo Qu's conjecture. Mo Qu stepped forward and looked at the red marks in the funnel. Mo Qu sniffled, no Smell the fishy smell of blood, but there is a faint fragrance.

"It's Jasmine..." Ziqing murmured, as if she couldn't believe it.

"You mean it's Jasmine's blood?" Gu Zizhan is a human being who has cultivated immortal bones, and he doesn't know as much about spirits and monsters as Ziqing, but he still knows a little bit, so he wondered: "But it is recorded in the book that plants can be cultivated into immortal bones." In human form, the blood is mostly indigo, not red."

Mo Qu paused when he heard the words, and remembered the bright red that was a bit harsh when Ziqing pinched his palm today.Ziqing is a Xuelan demon, but also, red blood.

Ziqing didn't say anything, but he conjured a sharp dagger out of nowhere and drew a bloodstain on his heart. When Mo Qu and Gu Zizhan realized it, they saw the dazzling red.

Mo Qu was a little anxious, he rushed up almost immediately and grabbed the wrist of Ziqing's injured hand, trying to activate the healing technique.Ziqing seemed to be in pain from being scratched, and Mo Qu let go of that slender wrist with a soft snort.

"Ziqing, what are you doing?" Gu Zizhan was a little flustered at first, and then he realized: "Why is your blood also red?"

Ziqing didn't answer, but walked up to the funnel and dripped her own blood into it. The blood vessels of the "girl" seemed to come to life in an instant, and the blood flowed slowly in it. The funnel seemed to be sucking, blood was poured into it drop by drop, the girl's lips became more and more red, the blue light of the two candles became more and more intense, flickering lights and shadows suddenly appeared on the wall, and Ziqing's face became paler and paler... …

Mo Qu and Gu Zizhan wanted to stop them, but they didn't know how to stop them. The scene in front of them was indescribably strange, and Ziqing's weak but firm appearance made it hard for people to take a step.

Mo Qu looked at Ziqing's crumbling body, and when he wanted to go to Ziqing's side to help him, he suddenly fell into a dazed darkness.He is not afraid of the dark, because he can see everything in the dark night, but he is afraid of nothingness, he tries to see everything clearly in the dark, but there is still only darkness in the dark.

He wouldn't suspect that something was wrong with his eyesight, so it could only be that there was nothing in the darkness.He forced himself to settle down, and called out to the nothingness, "Ziqing...".

"There's nothing there, it's so interesting..." There was a sneer and a little indifferent voice from nowhere.

Mo Qu calmed down completely. Although he didn't know what kind of species the speaker was, he still had a voice. He thought of what happened just now. Ziqing and Gu Zizhan stayed with him in the ancestral hall. There were no other people in Guantou Town. Living things, the current situation must be something triggered by Ziqing's blood.

"Who are you?" Mo Qu asked, he had to try his best to find a solution, or ask for more information, Ziqing seemed to know something, and Mo Qu thought for a moment, thinking that Ziqing did this more for the sake of Peep into the secrets of Guantou Town.

"Why, why, why there is still nothing... Hahahaha..." The voice became crazy.

"Right!" A voice came to Mo Qu's mind, and Mo Qu rushed to the right at that moment.

"You actually know where I am...you actually know." This time, the voice sounded in Mo Qu's ear, with some confusion...

Mo Qu tried to recite a tactic, but found that the spells in his body seemed to be sealed, so he punched in that direction, and it hit the air without accident.

At this time, Mo Qu smelled a vague fragrance, and he quickly settled down. This smell was exactly the same as the fragrance of Jasmine just now. It was Ziqing's blood. Ziqing... He bit it hard On the tip of his tongue, the unique bloody smell of animals spread between his lips and teeth. He froze for a moment, and then ran over to hug the fainted Ziqing in his arms.

The wound on Ziqing's palm was still bleeding, and Mo Qu could only heal his wound, but he couldn't make up for the blood he lost. The strange light of the "girl" wax figure was dissipating. Gu Zizhan staggered towards the two of them as if he had finally woken up from a big dream. He took out a small medicine bottle, took out a pill and fed it into Ziqing's mouth.

Mo Qu glanced at it, but without saying a word, he stood up gently holding Ziqing in his arms, and strode out. It was already dark outside, and the flickering candles in the yard were as bright as stars at night. But it couldn't stir up any more ripples.

Gu Zizhan kept up with Mo Qu's pace, and no one saw the empty eyes behind them when the two of them flew over...

In the largest book collection pavilion in Langqi Peak, Bandit Sisi led two other guys to browse through ancient books. During this time, Bai Ran fell asleep lying on a pile of books, revealing her little white belly. Occasionally, when she woke up, she would climb onto Ge Tan's body. Scratching him, Ge Tan looked at the book very seriously, even though he read it very slowly, except for occasionally fighting back...Gui Sisi glanced at ten lines, and wiped out the mountain of books in front of her one by one.

It was already late at night, and Ge Tan finally couldn't sit still. Why did the three of them go for so long? Could it be that something interesting happened, and Ge Tan complained... But Bie Sisi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found it!

"The ghost island is the emptiness of illusion. The ghost is also the one who cannot be tolerated by the world. The three souls are scattered, but the thoughts are still there, and there is no god and form, so they are born... The accumulation of sorrow and resentment will bring disaster to the three worlds, and the world will be chaotic. between……"

Seeing this, Ge Tan became even more mournful, why he couldn't find anything after searching for so long.Thinking about it, he put down the book he had finished reading in his hand, and took out another one from the few books.

This is a book of folk tales that is not widely circulated, and it specifically talks about some unbelievable things.The first one is the story of a folk monster catcher. Ge Tan read it with great interest, page after page...
