Guanqingzhai

Let’s go back to the people in the ruined temple. After a while, they gathered some firewood and lit the scythe, but the young man was still unconscious. Protected by the elixir, but kept murmuring, only a few words could be heard sporadically: "Thirsty... water, I want to drink water..."

Guo Huan said: "I have to pour some hot water on him, maybe he will get better. There is a small stream on the way here, and he can get water."

Li He shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not right, it's not right, this black light is blind, if there is something good or bad, it's not a joke."

He was the oldest, and when he said that, the Zhou brothers also agreed, but Hu Yue said: "But if you don't get him water, I don't know if I can survive the night."

When he said that, the others also began to hesitate. Hu Yue saw that they were afraid, but they were in a dilemma.How can they not know how powerful this is?But Chu Jue is no longer at this time, Hu Yue is the head of the Guizhou, how can he afford the life of a royal family and nobles?

But Hu Yue couldn't use the earth escape technique in front of Li He. If this notoriously outspoken person knew that he was good at magic skills besides martial arts and hidden elixir, he would say Maybe this little Guanqingzhai of my own was broken through by a group of people of all levels.

When Hu Yue was hesitating, the person behind him seemed to have some signs of awakening. Hu Yue quickly put him down, and he reached out and touched his forehead. As expected, he was still feverish, so he turned and said to him: "How about it, I Go get some water, and watch him."

Guo Huan looked at the people on the ground, and said to Hu Yue, "I'll go with you. It's good to have someone to take care of you."

Hu Yue didn't refuse, and made a rough torch, and the two of them left the ruined temple. At this time, the surroundings were silent and lifeless, Hu Yue frowned, and he whispered: "This is a gathering A place of yin, but why is there such a gathering of yin?"

Guo Huan looked at him and said, "Maybe it was because this was a village in the past, but because of the epidemic, all the dead were buried around, and the living went to other places to seek a living, and those buried here became lonely ghosts. People sacrifice."

Hu Yue said: "Oh, sir, why is it so clear?"

Guo Huan was stunned for a moment, and said, "I know an old man who used to be a resident here."

Hu Yue asked as he walked, "Then why don't you come back to worship your ancestors?"

Guo Huan fell silent, and Hu Yue didn't ask any more questions.The two were silent, and after walking for a while, they heard the sound of running water.

But after walking for a long time, I still only heard the sound of running water, but there was no trace of the stream.

Hu Yue stopped in his tracks, and said, "After walking for so long, I only heard the sound but could not see the stream. There is a mystery here."

Guo Huan stopped and said, "What's the secret?"

Hu Yue said: "It's weird..." After speaking, he took three steps back, and then walked a few steps diagonally to the left.The moment he stopped, he suddenly felt that there was still a person standing beside him. He quickly lit up with a torch, only to find that there was no one at all, just a tombstone standing crookedly.I don't know what year it is or what kind of inscription is left on the tombstone.

Hu Yue squatted down and drew a talisman on the ground. He looked up and saw that there were no stars in the sky, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: That's right.

When he got up again, there was a thick fog around him for some reason.Guo Huan was a little frightened, and tightly grasped the torch in his hand, Hu Yue said: "Don't worry, sir, there may be a ecstasy array here."

Guo Huan frowned and asked, "What is the ecstasy array?"

Hu Yue said: "There are many corpses here, and the Yin Qi gathers. It is the place where those wild monsters like the most. There are some wild monsters here. They confuse passers-by and take their souls away. That's why it's called the Fascinating Array."

Sure enough, Hu Yue stood in the center of the talisman array he was talking about, and then followed it with a torch. He saw the stream in the distance, and said, "It's there. Let's go quickly."

After speaking, he lifted his robes, and quickly took Guo Huan to the direction they had seen. Soon they came to the edge of a stream. , I only know that this water source is extremely cold and cold.Hu Yue untied the kettle and filled it with water.

He turned his head and said, "Do you have a water container, sir? Let's fill it too. Everyone has been thirsty for a long time."

Guo Huan took out his kettle, but a strange thing happened at this moment. Hu Yue found that Guo Huan's kettle was still full of water. He was slightly taken aback, but what was poured out was actually red blood.It looks like blood.

With the faint light of the fire, the blood-like water flowed into the stream.The stream immediately had a stench.Hu Yue found out that the fish under the stream had white bellies and died in the water near him.

Hu Yue didn't look back, but Guo Huan was standing behind him at this time, his body was stiff and motionless, but his eyes were as cold as a sword.

Hu Yue didn't get up, but still turned his back to Guo Huan, and said with a smile, "Sir, you can't drink this water."

Guo Huan said: "Of course you can't drink it. How can the water of the Santu River be drunk by people in the world?"

Hu Yue was about to stand up, when suddenly Guo Huan took out a dagger from his dark sleeve and shouted, "Don't move."

Hu Yue really didn't move, Guo Huan said: "Since you came here, if you ruin my plan, then I will naturally not let you live."

Hu Yue smiled and said, "What is your purpose?"

Guo Huan smiled ferociously, he bared his teeth and said, "Kill."

When Hu Yue heard this, she paused, and immediately said: "Not good!"

Guo Huan suddenly stabbed at Hu Yue's back.Hu Yue was one step ahead of him, and turned sideways, but then felt weak in all limbs, and fell down by the stream again.He frowned, and Guo Huan sneered and said, "Seeing that you are very good at lightness kung fu during the day, naturally I will not fail to make some preparations. If you are like the other three, I will deal with it on my own. Even seeing that you are so knowledgeable, I may secretly Let you live, but now I can only solve you first."

Hu Yue was stunned to herself, but she had no choice but to roll sideways and onto the grass beside her.

Guo Huan didn't allow him to escape, so she quickly followed, grabbed his neck, and slashed at his neck. Hu Yue felt his neck turn cold, and his eyes turned red.

At this time, Chu Jue, who had finished drinking a cup, suddenly stopped his movements. His whole body was like a cold statue, and all the candles in the hotel were extinguished in an instant.

In the darkness, only a cold snort was heard. The kid in the restaurant didn't know what happened. After a bit of fuss, he found that everything was as usual, but the guest officer who was sitting by the window had disappeared, and there was a piece of broken silver on the table.

The child thought to himself, that man is really generous, how much do these wines and vegetables cost a tael of silver?Just as he reached out to grab the silver, his fingers just touched the countertop, and the whole countertop was shattered into pieces, and the wine glass turned into powder directly.The remaining wine in the jug also turned into ice.

The child was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, now one tael of silver is not enough to pay...

Hu Yue was lying on the ground, unable to call out, clutching his neck, eyes wide open.Guo Huan wiped it and said, "Raise Hu Yue's head." There was a little trance and pity in his eyes.He said: "If you hadn't come here, I might have become friends with you through words in the capital. It's a pity that you can only die in the wilderness."

After finishing speaking, he mercilessly stabbed the dagger into Hu Yue's chest, blood spurted from Hu Yue's mouth, and the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared.The man leaned close to Hu Yue's ear and whispered, "But, you must die."

Hu Yue collapsed to the ground, Guo Huan turned around, picked up his water bottle and walked back.There was no expression in his eyes. In his eyes, such a brutal killing before seemed as natural and natural as lightly drinking thin tea.

But Hu Yue only felt the pain like a knife cut all over his body. This pain seemed like he had died a thousand times or ten thousand times, but he was still conscious, and he was still repeating the pain.He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.The pain made him extremely awake.He closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth.Some pictures that hadn't appeared in the past suddenly appeared in his mind.The clouds in the mountains, the back of a person.He said indifferently: "Sentimental or ruthless, it depends on the destiny. Thousands of calculations are only waiting for the moment of conclusion. Are you ready, sir?"

The man turned around slowly, but Hu Yue couldn't see his face clearly, he pointed to the sky, then pointed to Hu Yue.Hu Yue was still in excruciating pain, he endured such grinding and lingering motionless.

The corners of his closed eyes finally shed tears, and suddenly he felt someone hug him up, he was like a dying fish, unable to resist.

Hu Yue only heard the man whisper: "It's so ugly."

Hu Yue wanted to answer him a few words and win back his face, but he really didn't have the strength.He could only let the man pick him up and walk back.

The severe pain on Hu Yue's body slowly subsided after almost half an hour. He found himself lying in a cave with a fire burning beside him. He propped himself up, looked at the man's back, and said, "I Said brother, you should take a look at the situation anyway, if it is you now, it is not ugly, but dead ugly."

Xuan Mingzi turned his head, he grabbed a flagon and threw it to Hu Yue, saying, "Why are you here?"

Hu Yue raised her head and drank until there was not a single drop left before throwing the jug back.Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he asked back, "Then why are you here?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "What are you doing? Naturally, you should do what a Taoist should do. Let's subdue demons."

Hu Yue sat cross-legged, and after a few times of breathing, he said: "The Taoist priest, you are really slow, and there are three others who don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Xuan Mingzi frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?"

Hu Yue told Xuan Mingzi the ins and outs of coming to Danlan Mountain and the events of being plotted against by Guo Huan afterwards.Xuan Mingzi interrupted Hu Yue when he heard it, and said, "Well, those three people should have been replaced."

Hu Yue was taken aback for a moment, and he said, "Ghost? But there are no tigers doing evil here."

Xuan Mingzi nodded and said: "Who said it was a ghost? It's just like, but not all... This is a bit weird. Recently, the capital seems to be stable, but some living people have been replaced by evil spirits, but they But it’s very secretive, otherwise I wouldn’t have labored to Daoist me, so naturally you’re still standing there.”

Hu Yue stood up and said, "Then what should Dao brother do now?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "Then maybe it's not about catching one or two next. And the strange thing is that these evil spirits may not kill everyone. As for you...why do they just want to kill you?"

Hu Yue was slightly taken aback, and he said, "Aren't all people ghosts?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "Yes, a large number of them are people, but they are controlled. So you can't tell who is a ghost and who is a human."

Xuan Mingzi looked at the sky and said: "Okay, it's dawn, you'd better go back early to find your lover, Lord Hou. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Hu Yue shook her arms and said, "It didn't matter at first, but now it does."

Xuan Mingzi looked at Hu Yue with an expression on your face, Hu Yue said: "Of course it is to regain face. Now that you have to go back in despair, why don't you talk about it for 50 to [-] years? If you have to Dao Feisheng, wouldn't it be an exaggeration for you to say that I can count for six years?"

Xuan Mingzi waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if you stay with me, but your Lord Hou will let you take such a risk?"

Hu Yue said: "Naturally, I am in charge of my affairs. That allows him to dictate."

Xuan Mingzi pouted, disapproving.But he didn't argue with him, Hu Yue basically recovered, but his face was still pale, and he didn't look like a living person.Under the morning light, her complexion seemed to be so transparent that her complexion looked too fragile, which made Hu Yue lose her past temperament, and instead added a sense of etherealness.

Xuan Mingzi looked at him and sighed, "Sometimes it's not easy to think about you."

Hu Yue didn't know how to respond to what he said, so he asked, "What do you mean, Brother Dao?"

Xuan Mingzi said, "Don't you think it's boring to live like this?"

Hu Yue smiled wryly and said, "Why are you talking about these idiots again?"

Xuan Mingzi shook his head and said: "I don't quite understand. You are obviously tired of this kind of life, but you still make yourself look no different from others. It's better to find a deep mountain and old forest. From then on, you don't know the years in the mountain. Why do you have to disturb the world of mortals? What does the affairs of the mortal world have anything to do with a person like you?"

Hu Yue said: "Maybe I just can't see through it. I'm just a mortal."

Xuan Mingzi sneered a few times, and said: "Ordinary people are like you, why do we need Taoists? This is a mortal, but this serious one is a ghost. I really can't see through this world."

Hu Yue said: "Then take your time to see through it. Anyway, it will take a while to see if you will return home with a crane."

Xuan Ming scolded: "Crow's mouth is just a poor scholar who likes to show off his tongue."

Hu Yue smiled slightly, without denying it.

When the two left the cave, Hu Yue discovered that they had returned to Danlan Mountain, and the location was near the place where the dying boy was found. Hu Yue said: "There is a Danlan plant in this mountain, which is said to be Lanzhong Immortals."

Xuan Mingzi sneered and said, "Immortal product? If this thing can be called a fairy product, then you can also engrave a card for people to pay homage to the temple."

Hu Yue said: "Do you know this thing?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "I've been checking this mountain for some time, and there are no orchids here at all."

Hu Yue looked at the shade of green trees all around, then at Xuan Mingzi's ashen face, and then said, "How did brother Dao plan to proceed?"

Xuan Mingzi wrapped up his Taoist robe, and then said: "I was just waiting for a rabbit, but I didn't expect to see you, an old monster."

Hu Yue laughed a few times, and suddenly his face was pulled down and he said, "Brother Dao, did you say that a substitute happened here?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "Ah, yes, these should be controlled people. Someone is here to make trouble."

Hu Yue touched her forehead, lowered her head and said to herself, "Could it be that Guo Huan's situation was controlled by someone yesterday? I have to go back first..."

Xuan Mingzi said: "Very well, I finally figured it out, let's go, let's go, don't be next to the Taoist master, I want to subdue demons."

Hu Yue patted Xuan Mingzi on the shoulder and said: "Brother Dao, brother Dao, I just came back from the gate of hell, why don't you give me a ride? Just watch me go back from the wilderness alone Go? Hey, a dizzy person fell into the hands of evil spirits, how can you bear it?"

Xuan Mingzi looked at Hu Yue coughing pretendingly, and said with black lines on his face: "You can't die."

Hu Yue hurriedly said, "If I get stabbed again, I might not be so lucky." After speaking, she showed the hole in her chest and dangled in front of Xuan Mingzi.

Xuan Mingzi lowered his hands and looked at the sky, he said: "If possible, I really hope to go back to the moment before I met you, and then walk back..."

Hu Yue laughed out loud, Xuan Mingzi had no choice but to walk back half coaxed and half deceived by Hu Yue.Although Hu Yue was chatting and joking with Xuan Mingzi all the time, her eyes were fixed on the forest.He spilled something from his sleeve, and then pulled Xuan Mingzi back to the capital.

When the two returned to Guanqingzhai, they were very embarrassed. As soon as they entered the room, they found Chu Jue sitting on the seat.With a chill on his face, he saw Hu Yue followed by Xuan Mingzi, he paused slightly, but then returned to his previous unfriendly expression.

Hu Yue stepped in still with a smile on his face, but Xuan Mingzi behind him felt the oppression and anger, and quickly said: "Heaven and earth conscience, this time it was not my fault, if it wasn't for me, old... Hu Yue will confess In Danlan Mountain."

Chu Jue still pursed his lips and remained silent, while Hu Yue glanced at his mouth and patted the dust off his body.Said to Xuan Mingzi: "Brother Dao, if you want to investigate the matter of Danlan Mountain, you can find one or two directions."

Xuan Mingzi asked, "Which directions?"

Hu Yue took off his coat, took the wine glass in Chu Jue's hand without a sound, took a sip suddenly, and said: "One, the substitute is in one direction, you can check it, but pay attention to the method used, the way the substitute takes soul There are so many methods, but I am worried about the feeling of familiarity among them.”

Xuan Mingzi touched his chin and nodded: "What about the second point?"

Hu Yue squinted her eyes and recalled the previous scene and said: "Naturally, it is the one who told you about this. Don't tell me that you went there because you figured it out by yourself and learned that there was an odd number in Danlan Mountain. "

Xuan Mingzi was thoughtful, and he whispered: "Old monster, what do you mean...the one who lured me there has some ulterior motive?"

Hu Yue smiled and nodded.Xuan Mingzi raised his head suddenly, he subconsciously wiped the sword behind him, then glanced at Hu Yue and said, "Old monster, I will pay you off with one word today for saving you yesterday. Please."

Hu Yue waved his sleeves towards the deserted empty door. At this moment, he felt an iceman standing behind him, chilling to the bone.He finally lost his confidence, and asked a little guilty: "Brother Chu... how long have you been waiting?"

The people behind were still silent, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down on Hu Yue's forehead.

Chu Jue only said one sentence: "Is there anything wrong with him?"
