Zhou Nan's heart tightened, and he frowned: "Mr. Jiuyou is missing? What's going on?"

The ghost butler lowered his head and replied in a panic: "The letter from Yan Qi said that the Nian Cimen suddenly disappeared overnight, and the lady of Jiuyou and all the disciples disappeared, leaving only an empty house... By the way, It is said that the big banyan tree is gone.”

"Gu Lingrong?" Zhou Nan's hanging heart relaxed slightly, and his expression eased, "Fortunately..."

The ancient spiritual banyan tree in the back mountain is the spiritual vein of Nian Cimen, and only the head can control it.If Jiu You disappeared with Gu Lingrong with her, it would prove that she was fine and hid on purpose.

Mu Xi also knew a thing or two about Gu Lingrong, but he still looked at Zhou Nan with some concern: "Mr. Jiuyou probably already knows about the replacement of the soul?"

Zhou Nan nodded, his substitute soul had already been released, Jiuyou must have left with his disciples to protect Nian Cimen.

"It seems that the news has reached the cultivation world."

Those immortal families know that Zhou Feiyang made it for the soul, so they don't necessarily want to make a fuss.

The rain is about to come, and we can't wait any longer.

Mu Xi thought for a while and said: "No matter what, the man in black wants to control Zhou Feiyang, it must be related to Wuji Yinglong, we can start from here."

"That's right, I've asked Yan Qi to keep an eye on Wuji Yinglong. But now there's another question," Zhou Nan turned to him, "Master Mu, did the man in black stay in the painting of Master Li?" What clue?"

Mu Xi began to recall the last few scenes painted by Li Zhilan: "The man in black collected the spiritual cores of many disciples of Nian Cimen, including Mr. Chen. The soul substitute that was refined at the end, and the portrait painted by the artist Exactly the same..." He paused, and passed the picture in his mind again, "Other than that, there are no other clues. But there is one thing I can't figure out..."

Zhou Nan: "What's the matter?"

Mu Xi: "Is this man in black a human or a ghost? Judging from Li's paintings, he doesn't belong to the underworld, but he can freely enter and leave the underworld, and he can easily take Li out... Such a person, Is there no record in the underworld?"

"This is the strange thing." Zhou Nan was also having a headache about this matter. After all, he was the only living person in the underworld who had obtained the badge of the king of Hades and could enter freely. No suspicious signs were found in the entry and exit records. No one knows how he managed to go in and out of the underworld so frequently without being noticed."

The fact that the man in black can cover the sky with one hand and enter and exit the underworld proves that there are loopholes in the defense of the underworld, which makes all the ghosts have lingering fears.If this loophole is not found, sooner or later something big will happen.

Mu Xi suddenly remembered the time when Li Hun entered the underworld by mistake, and wanted to prove something, so he looked at Zhou Nan.

"Eleventh Young Master, how many ways are there in total from the Yang world to the underworld?"

"There are three ghost gates. The east ghost gate is the main gate, and it is not open for non-major festivals. The west ghost gate is a side gate, which is a fast way for ghosts to enter and exit. There is also a new ghost gate, which is opened for new ghosts to enter the ghost. , is the door we walked through this time."

Although there were only these three gates to the underworld, after Zhou Nan finished speaking, he had a vague premonition that the man in black might not leave any of them.

After hearing this, Mu Xi fell into deep thought, and after a while he said thoughtfully, "I seem to have passed the fourth route."

"What? The fourth passage?" Zhou Nan had never heard of a fourth passage in the underworld. Zhou Nan's eyes were full of surprise, and at the same time, there was a glimmer of hope.

"The last time I accidentally left my soul while practicing kung fu, I strayed into the underworld. Later, Qiye found me, and he also went to the gate of ghosts to check, but I didn't come in from there. I vaguely remember that I seemed to walk through a small path, It is definitely not a new ghost gate, but it is impossible for me to pass through other ghost gates..."

Listening, Zhou Nan felt that something was wrong, and asked again: "Then can you still remember the approximate location when you came in? Or, what places did you pass by?"

Mu Xi tried hard to think about it, then shook his head dejectedly: "I can't remember, I didn't have all five senses at the time... But," he is not such a person who is willing to give up, he is now eager to find the man in black, "I Thinking about the ghost town, maybe you can think of something.”

Hearing that he was going to the ghost town, the ghost housekeeper who had been daring not to hum suddenly spoke up: "Haishi has passed, the ghost town has a curfew, it's too cloudy, Mr. Mu is in good health, let's wait until tomorrow before going out..."

Zhou Nan was so busy tonight that he almost forgot about the curfew, so he nodded his head when he was reminded like this.

But Mu Xi insisted: "I'm sorry for the housekeeper's concern. I know my body, and I will be fine in a while." Then he looked at Zhou Nan, "We can't waste any more time, the man in black won't wait."

Because he was a step too late and failed to save Mr. Chen, and let the man in black escape, he felt very guilty. He just wanted to find clues as soon as possible.

Zhou Nan was silent for a moment, weighed in his heart, and then let go.Seeing that he agreed, Mu Xi picked up Jingxue and walked out without saying a word.

Seeing Mu Xi rushing in the background, the ghost housekeeper still wanted to persuade him, but Zhou Nan stopped him: "It's okay, I'm here."

In the ghost town of Haishi, there is loneliness everywhere.

The two walked around in a big circle along the street, but Mu Xi didn't think of anything.

"Eleventh Young Master, is this ghost town so big?"

Zhou Nan walked side by side with him, while observing the changes in his expression without any trace.

"Yes, further ahead is the Ghost Flower Tower."

"Ghost flower building?"

"It's a small restaurant in the underworld. After the curfew, it's the only one that's open for business. Usually, ghost soldiers and generals come here at this hour." Speaking of this, Zhou Nan remembered the stupid things he did when he was hysterical, and suddenly I feel helpless to myself.

Mu Xi stopped in her tracks: "I remembered..."

"What do you remember?" Zhou Nan stopped and looked at him.

"I passed by here last time, and I seem to have heard someone talking about the ghost flower building."

Mu Xi closed his eyes, trying to remember.

There is no moonlight in the underworld, only the cold light of roadside lanterns.The cold candlelight reflected on this face, so white it was unreal.

Looking at Mu Xi at this moment, Zhou Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had seen him in this place the day he haunted Hualou, but at the time he thought it was because of his hysteria... So, wasn't that a hallucination?

No wonder he felt that what he saw that time was different from the past because it was so real.

It's really not as good as man's calculation, until today, he realized that at that time, their trajectories in this life had already intersected.

"Eleventh Young Master," Mu Xi suddenly opened his eyes and pulled his thoughts back, "I have an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"I will close my five senses later, leaving only a little ear consciousness, the same as when I accidentally entered the ghost town last time, so that I may be able to find out the last route."
