The bright moon sits on the ground

After Bu Chenyuan disappeared, those living dead also turned into dust, scattered into mud.

In the early morning of the second day, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng bid farewell to the village chief.

The old man personally sent the two of them to the entrance of the village, and solemnly bowed to thank them.

Nie Qiu helped him up, and it wasn't until the village head raised his head that he realized that something was wrong with his expression, and then asked, "Old man, did you know that the disciple of the Divine Cauldron Sect is..."

The village chief gently pushed Nie Qiu, but said, "I don't know."

He shook his head again, and took a few steps back.

"I don't recognize that person." The village chief bowed again, and waved his hands away, "You two young heroes, please leave now."

Seeing his appearance, Nie Qiu had no choice but to say goodbye to him, get on the horse with Fang Qisheng, and walk away.

He rode on a galloping horse and turned his head to look. The skinny old man was standing at the entrance of the village, with a calm stream beside him and his homeland under his feet. Snow-covered mountains.

Thousands of words, finally turned into a leisurely sigh.

The snow-covered mountain range was originally peaceful, but it was shattered by the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

The man in white was in front, and the one in black was behind. The clattering of horseshoes sounded one after the other, and then gradually overlapped, forming a picture with the soft chirping of insects and birds among the treetops. A different picture comes.

The copper bell in Nie Qiu's sleeve shook slightly with the bumps along the way, but the sound did not leak out at all.

The copper bell is quaint and charming, and engraved on it is an evil ghost with an iron fan pinned to his waist and a Chinese character for "bu" in his hand. red.

The sky gradually showed some orange red, like a flame, trying to heat up the cool wind in the mountains.

The red rope tied to the copper bell rubbed against the traces of the three crescent moons reflecting each other, suppressing the burning feeling again.

Nie Qiu looked up, and wherever he looked, the floating clouds that were reflected red were quietly floating on the top of the mountain, not saying a word, but he couldn't see the appearance of the dark clouds last night.

Last night, Bu Chenyuan, who was dressed in red, listened to Bu Chenrong's words relayed by Nie Qiu, thought for a moment in silence, and then said: "I made a mistake, I didn't expect that she would not be able to leave the Bu family's mansion..."

Immediately, she raised her head to look at Nie Qiu, but her eyes were clear, "But Chen Rong said something wrong. It's not that she hasn't found a way to reverse the destiny, on the contrary, she has already found it, but she hasn't realized it yet. That’s all.”

"What is it?" Nie Qiu was taken aback.

"The way to reverse destiny is right in front of me." Bu Chenyuan said slowly, "It's you, Nie Qiu."

Seeing that Nie Qiu didn't understand what she meant, she explained: "I've already set foot on the road to hell, so I can see that you are not an ordinary person."

"You came back to the world from the abyss of death. Isn't rebirth considered a reversal of destiny?"

Bu Chenyuan asked: "Has the punishment of heaven already appeared on you?"

As soon as she said it, Nie Qiu instantly remembered the light-colored imprint on his wrist that had been quiet for a long time, "It hasn't appeared for a day."

But Bu Chenyuan smiled knowingly, "It took hundreds of years for the ancestors of the Bu family to make these copper bells, in order to get rid of the shackles of heaven and escape those unfair punishments. Did you hear the copper bells? , that kind of situation was suppressed?"

Yes, on the night when I first arrived in the village, Sanhuyue had already started to have an attack, but was suppressed by Bu Chenyuan's copper bell—even though the copper bell was full of hostility and killing intent, Nie Qiu He also felt pain in his temples, but he suppressed the burning sensation brought by the three pot moons, which is indeed true.

"There is a cause and an effect, and what has a reward." Bu Chenyuan said, a copper bell with red edges suddenly appeared in her hand, and she wrapped the red thread with the bell around her right wrist a few times , tied the brass bell on it, "Since it is a new life, the punishment of that day's Tao should be far more than that. You should keep in mind the sentence 'Beware of the Heaven's Tao', and be careful of its tricks."

As soon as Bu Chenyuan tied the copper bell, Nie Qiu felt his wrist sink at the same time.

He rolled up his cuffs, but the copper bell, which was exactly the same as Bu Chenyuan's, was tied to his right wrist, and the overlapping red thread barely covered the mark of Sanhuyue.

This copper bell is real and has weight, the copper bell that the Patriarch of the Bu family should hold.

"With this brass bell, even if it doesn't make any sound, it can be completely suppressed." Bu Chenyuan didn't say any more polite words, but raised his hand and made a little gesture to Nie Qiu. The chivalrous man clasped his fists vigorously, "Treat it well."

Nie Qiu didn't refuse too much, and responded with clasped fists: "Thank you."

According to Bu Chenyuan, she doesn't know how Tiandao will fill the "loophole" of Nie Qiu again, so she can only give a copper bell, and in the future, she can only make him act cautiously and be on guard everywhere. .

Bu Chenyuan shook his head, "The way of heaven is immortal, I can't get over it, anyone in the Bu family would do this."

Brother Lian and his team have already waded to the other bank. On the other side of the bank, the wind is howling, and it seems that they can vaguely see the road paved with bluestone slabs, and the red flowers swaying in the wind, and they are heading to this side Waving, the sound was broken by the sound of water and wind, vaguely, as if urging Bu Chenyuan.

It was the handsome and unrestrained young man who came forward, his eyes full of peace.

He said goodbye to Bu Chenyuan and Nie Qiu. Their figures were somewhat transparent in the night, but they walked towards the opposite bank step by step. For a moment it stopped.

When the two landed on the shore, the others laughed and talked, pushing and shoving, and walked towards the darker place. The outline gradually became shallower, and finally disappeared on the long bluestone bridge.

Bu Chenyuan was the last one to walk.

He had just stepped onto the stone bridge when he suddenly turned his head to look at Nie Qiu on the other side.

"Thank you." Bu Chenyuan thanked again, "I give you the word Honglian."

Bu Chenyuan stood at the bridge and waited for him, but he didn't explain much, turned around and left after saying this.

They followed the footsteps of the person in front, and soon reached the bottom, and then the figures of the two slowly melted into the darkness, and they could no longer be seen.

After a while, the black mist on the other side gradually dissipated.

Strange to say, when Nie Qiu was thinking of this place, he looked up, only to find that the clouds and mists in the mountains had also dispersed.

The door of the black mansion in the middle of the river is already open, and Bu Chenrong is standing there smiling, "Nie Qiu, Fang Qisheng!"

The two of them rode their horses to the edge of the cliff, Nie Qiu got off his horse, and when he got to the middle of the bridge, he happened to be only one step away from Bu Chenrong who came over after seeing them.

The river under the wooden bridge surged, rolling up splashes several feet high.

The disciples of the Bu family asked him to bring not many things, just a thin piece of paper.

After all, it was already midnight at that time, and there was nothing else nearby, and as ordinary ghosts, there were not many real objects they could encounter, so they had to ask Nie Qiu to write a letter for them——

Under Bu Chenrong's curious gaze, he took out the paper from his pocket.

It's a little wrinkled, and the paper is very thin. Because I'm in a hurry, the words on it are crooked.

Nie Qiu handed the paper to Bu Chenrong.

"This is?"

"Here's what they asked me to bring to you."

Because of the close distance, Nie Qiu could clearly see the imperceptible tears flickering in Bu Chenrong's eyes.

"Thank you." She didn't open the letter right away, but carefully put it away. Her left arm was still a little stiff, and the bone she gave Nie Qiu was long after Nie Qiu knocked on those copper bells. It turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

When Nie Qiu raised his hand, Bu Chenrong quickly noticed the copper bell wrapped around his wrist.

She smiled lightly, but didn't ask any more questions about the brass bell, but asked, "Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

After finishing speaking, Bu Chenrong was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, "However, because I have been sleeping for a long time, I didn't clean it... Speaking of which, there seems to be no place to sit down here."

"No need," Nie Qiu looked back at Fang Qisheng who was riding on horseback, "We will be leaving soon."

Bu Chenrong nodded and did not persuade them any more.

Suddenly a strong wind blew up in the mansion behind her, and the fallen leaves were rolled up layer by layer and flew upwards in a whirl.

Nie Qiu saw nearly a hundred ghosts appearing behind Bu Chenrong, standing or sitting, all staring at him, not knowing what plans were going on in their hearts.

Bu Chenrong pointed at the ghosts behind him and asked, "Are there any ghosts selected?"

She spoke easily, as if what she was talking about was not a ghost, but a soft and harmless animal like a rabbit.

Nie Qiu looked at the ghosts behind her one by one, and after carefully looking at them several times, when he was about to start picking, he suddenly remembered the two words Bu Chenyuan said to him, and he was blessed in an instant, and said: "Red Lotus, what is this?"

"Brother Yuan told you?" Bu Chenrong clapped his hands, and a red light and a purple light jumped to her side in an instant, "These two are the 'red' ghost and the 'lotus' ghost."

One is a fierce ghost holding a chain, holding a red-tasseled gun, and stepping on a raging flame.

One is a fierce ghost with eyes closed tightly, holding a Bingdilian, and covered in lavender.

"They are all fierce ghosts driven by Brother Yuan." Bu Chenrong said, "What you hold is the copper bell of the Patriarch of the Bu family. To drive the 'Lian' ghost on the third floor, just say 'Tongxie' silently, and that's it."

Although the 'Lotus' ghost is the one on the third floor, it should be more dangerous, but the 'Red' ghost is more evil.

Nie Qiu looked at the burning flames under the red ghost's feet, and naturally thought of the burning ruins in the Bu family mansion.

Bu Chenrong seemed to understand that these ghosts are difficult to discipline, and said: "The punishment of heaven to the Bu family is decline and backlash. These ghosts originally made a contract with my Bu family. It should have been ten years later. After the redemption of the family, you can go to reincarnation, but because of the temptation of heaven, they violated the contract, hurt the Bu family, and fled here, and the time limit was extended—so they never dared to do defection again thing."

"If you are worried..." Bu Chenrong raised his hand, and suddenly two thick golden chains appeared around the necks of the two ghosts. With a light flick of her fingers, the other end of the chains came out of her body It was attached to the copper bell tied to Nie Qiu's wrist.

She smiled slightly, "If they want to do something against you, you can drive the copper bell and make them fly away."

The flames under the red ghost's feet went out a lot after she said this, and Lian ghost frowned, wondering if Bu Chenrong had done this to other ghosts before.

Nie Qiu nodded, and the two ghosts turned into light and entered his copper bell with a whoosh.

Bu Chenrong explained: "The ghosts of the Bu family can only recuperate on the low buildings, so they usually stay on the second and third floors, but the owner's copper bell is different, it can accommodate ghosts, and it is similar to the low buildings. It has the same effect on ghosts."

After all, she waved her hand to reject Nie Qiu's thanks.

"I wish you two good luck." Bu Chenrong said, "Since I have something important to do, I won't keep it anymore."

After Nie Fang and Nie Fang said goodbye to her, Nie Qiu got back on his horse and couldn't help opening the letter when he saw Bu Chenrong walking back. Her figure slowly disappeared between the cracks in the door. , the last thing left was a muffled sob.

The sun was fully out when they went down the mountain.

Xiayan City is about the same distance from here as it is from Qingchang Town. It can be reached in the evening after a day's running.

When mentioning Qingchang Town, Nie Qiu thought of Xu Lang. The two kits he gave him at that time have not been used yet, and he does not know what is in them and how to use them.

With this in mind, Nie Qiu took out the two kits from his arms, and threw one to Fang Qisheng.

Fang Qisheng caught it subconsciously, but this time he didn't say that he would return it. He just looked at the kit over and over again on the horse's back, but didn't see any tricks.

He raised his eyebrows and wanted to take apart the kit.

"What if Xu Lang, the old Taoist, gave him an amulet, and it would be useless if he took it apart?" Nie Qiu reminded.

"Do you still need an amulet now?"

Fang Qisheng pointed to the copper bell in Nie Qiu's sleeve.

That's right, after all, the worst ghosts are with him, so there's no need to be afraid of other things.

Nie Qiu couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to watch Fang Qisheng unpack the kit.

After opening the kit, he put his finger in it, and then took out a small piece of white stuff.

"Human bone, human bone again." Fang Qisheng looked at the phalanx in his hand carefully, "It's still a child's bone."

He threw the finger bones back into the kit, hung them on the saddle casually, and concluded: "It seems that Xu Lang is still a fake Taoist priest who likes to kill young children. Next time you meet him, you can just go and smash his stall." .”

Nie Qiu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Asking him to say that he believed in Xu Lang was not considered trust. After all, it was only a one-time relationship. The things in this kit confirmed Fang Qisheng's statement everywhere. .”

They rode their horses and ran for a whole day, and when it was almost evening, they saw Xiayan City.

Fang Qisheng suddenly pulled the rein and looked up, not knowing what he was looking at.

Nie Qiu stopped the horse, but heard the sound of wings flapping, and an eagle landed on Fang Qisheng's wristband.

It should be said that when Fang Qisheng was not talking, he always carried a coldness of repelling people thousands of miles away, but the coldness disappeared when he talked to Nie Qiu.At this time, after he read the note in the small bamboo tube tied to the eagle's claw, the coldness on his body could not be regarded as coldness.

It was a blizzard.

Nie Qiu asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Fang Qisheng tore up the note in his hand expressionlessly, "The most annoying person in the world is now in Xiayan City."

He said: "My junior brother, Huang Sheng."
