The bright moon sits on the ground

In the middle of the night.

There are no pedestrians on the street, and the air is very quiet. There are occasional noises, but it is just the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

To the southeast, about ten miles away, near mountains and rivers.

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng used lightness kung fu because they were afraid that houses would block their sight. They ran and jumped on the eaves in the direction Xu Lang said.Their movements were very light, and they made no sound when they landed on the tiles.

The distance of ten miles,? It's neither far nor far,? It's neither close nor close.

Not long after, Nie Qiu saw the water and the mountains—the water was Lingyan Lake, and the mountain was a small hill with the lake at its back.

As the distance got closer, one could clearly see an old man with the appearance of a Taoist among the shadows of the trees, holding a jug in his hand, leaning lazily among the treetops, with one leg raised, his eyes slightly closed, Appears to be dozing off.

While the clothes were flying, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng fell to the ground, and walked under the tree in a few steps.

"Coming?" Xu Lang heard the sound, barely raised his eyelids to look at them, and was about to fall down when he got up.

This willow tree is very tall, and Xu Lang is a thin and small old man.

Just hearing "Hey yo", Xu Lang fell to the ground and twisted his foot.

He was gasping for breath in pain, holding on to the tree trunk for a long time, unable to recover.

Even though it was in the dark, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng could still see his face huddled together in pain.

So, how did you get there in the first place?

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng thought at the same time.

The two of them didn't talk for a long time, and for a while, there was only Xu Lang's gasping voice. He didn't feel embarrassed, so he calmed down, stroked his gray messy hair back, and pointed not far away, " Don't just stand there, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lang took the lead and limped towards the foot of the mountain.

Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng looked at each other and followed.

At the foot of the mountain, three sticks of incense were planted in the moist soil, almost burning out, and turned into ashes when the wind blew.

Xu Lang walked over, twisted the incense ash on the ground between his fingertips, and shouted, "Come out quickly! I have something to ask you!"

In the already chilly night, when Xu Lang said these words, the temperature plummeted, almost freezing.

It stands to reason that Nie Qiu should be able to see ghosts, but he only felt that his surroundings had become colder, and he didn't see anything unclean.

It seems that the ghost did not respond to Xu Lang.

Maybe it was because he was afraid of outsiders, so he refused to show up?Nie Qiu speculates

Xu Lang talked to the air for a while, if not for the obvious change in temperature, seeing Nie Qiu's dazed expression, Fang Qisheng almost thought that he was playing tricks again.

In the end, Xu Lang couldn't hold it anymore.He sighed viciously, raised the jug in his hand, and unscrewed the lid. In an instant, an extremely mellow wine smell emanated from the jug, permeating the air—if it wasn't for a short time Not wanting to drink anymore, Nie Qiu really wanted to ask him where he bought this wine, it was so rich and mellow, even more touching than the jar of wine that Zhihuang drank at Nie's house.

"I'll count to three—" Xu Lang tilted the jug slightly, pointing the mouth of the jug to his own mouth, "If you don't come out, I'll drink it!"

In the quiet night, only Xu Lang's countdown voice echoed.

Fortunately, it is still far away from the house, and the watchmen are not nearby, otherwise, there might be some strange rumors coming from somewhere tomorrow...

After waiting for a long time, there was no response, Xu Lang simply didn't care so much, put the mouth of the pot to his lips, and raised his head to drink.

I only heard a few rustling winds, blowing the clothes of the three people up, and then the cold wind swept up and snatched the wine pot from Xu Lang Bansong's hand.The wine jug with the lid removed was suspended upside down in the air, and all the wine in it flowed out, and quickly seeped into the wet soil along with the remaining incense ash on the ground.

At this time, Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng really believed what Xu Lang said.

Nie Qiu was because, when the dark wind appeared, he keenly sensed a filthy aura.

As for Fang Qisheng, it was naturally because he saw the jug move by itself.

Xu Lang let out a "hey", opened the hand that had been clenched all the time towards Huihuan Ying's five fingers, and threw something out.

Nie Qiu took a closer look and realized that it turned out to be a handful of incense ash.

I saw the light gray fine dust sprinkled down one after another, as if it had touched something, and covered its surface lightly, outlining a child-sized figure with bulging cheeks, looking soft. Soft and sticky.

The child-like thing shook its head angrily, poohed a few times, trying to shake off the incense ash on its body, but the soft dust seemed to stick to it, no matter how it moved, not even a grain of it fell off. .

After a while, its anger seemed to subside a little, and then it smacked its lips, as if reminiscing about the taste of the pot of wine.

"Smelly brat, won't you be fine if you come out earlier?" Xu Lang scolded with a smile.

"As a weak and pitiful ghost, of course I can only proceed with caution!"

Surprisingly, the ghost that Xu Lang called "stinky brat" spoke in an unexpectedly mature tone.

On second thought, as a ghost, it may have kept the appearance of a child wandering around the world for many years.

The child-like ghost rolled its eyes and paused on Nie Qiu for a while, "He is a celestial phaser."

Xu Lang said, "This is my apprentice."

"You still have apprentices?" The ghost snorted, "Okay. What do you want to ask?"

It looks like an old god, and its tone is like an adult, which is in stark contrast to its appearance.

Xu Lang waved his hand, took two steps to the side, and completely exposed Nie Qiu behind him.

"Here, he has something to ask you."

Nie Qiu gradually approached under the sight of the ghost, and the brass bell in his sleeve shook slightly with his movements. Every time he took a step, the brass bell would vibrate, and the crisp sound could be heard by all of them. , but it seemed to be contained by an invisible barrier, and it didn't spread far away, it just echoed in their ears.

The ghost's eyes also turned cold.

"Lingyan Lake was dug out by people. Did something happen when the earth was dug to fill the lake decades ago?"

They clearly felt the ghost in front of them distort for a moment. The water vapor in the air seemed to freeze into icicles, which made people's cheeks cold and hard.

However, the ghost's hostility was forcibly erased by the sound of the copper bell at the next moment.

"It's really opportunistic to ask me with this kind of thing."

It seemed a little reluctant to answer this question, and frowned.

Nie Qiu took a light breath, "I saw a tiger puppet on Lingyan Lake."

"impossible!"

Before he finished speaking, the ghost retorted: "It was burnt to ashes decades ago—"

Suddenly realizing what he said, it stopped the second half of the sentence.

When Xu Langyi was talking, finish the sentence! "

The ghost glared at Xu Lang viciously, then looked at Nie Qiu again, "How did you see that?"

After listening to Nie Qiu's words, it was unexpectedly silent for a while, not knowing what it was thinking.

"I see." The ghost's tone softened a lot, "Let me answer you, when digging and filling the lake decades ago, many people died, and I was one of them, those water corpses in the water, It is also the resentment after their death."

"I don't care if you are the celestial master of the Bu family or this old man's apprentice, you'd better leave this matter alone."

"As for why I know why my bones can keep people safe, it's because I used to be a celestial aficionado." The child-like ghost showed a trace of resentment on its face, it smiled coldly, and said, "Buddha is reborn, The blue bird is reincarnated, go back and ask your parents to know what the name of the famous genius was before Xiayan City was defeated."

Speaking of which, Nie Qiu seemed to have heard similar words from Nie Chi.

"The genius in Xiayan City is said to be the reincarnation of the Buddha and the reincarnation of the blue bird. It is not inexplicable that there will be no news afterwards, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive." The young Nie Qiu put down the book in his hand and looked out the door. But only Nie Chi's generous back could be seen. He was facing a middle-aged man, and his tone seemed to be arguing, but it didn't seem like he was arguing, "Your Tian family and my Nie family have been close for generations. I respect you, so I respect you." Tell you this. Before you ask me, I will not ask Nie Qiu to learn these things, even if he is suitable for..."

The following words are vaguely inaudible.

The other frowned, twisted his fingers, and seemed to be talking to himself.

Then, he said: "But according to my calculations, Nie Qiu will give it to ナ Jun⑻ Yu Xi Χ Jia Xin Rui Xin."

"There are only a few celestial master families left in this world. The Qing family has declined, and the Bu family has been destroyed. If it wasn't my Tian family, which one would it be..." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "That's all, Since you have already said so, then I don't have to force it. As for Xie Mu, I can tell you with certainty that he is no longer alive, and I haven't figured out where it is."

Nie Qiu murmured and repeated the wild words!

The Buddha was reborn, the blue bird was reincarnated, Xia Yancheng, Xie Mu.

Unexpectedly, this genius who was rarely seen in a hundred years died when Lingyan Lake was completed.

Xie Mu's fleshy face wrinkled, "Leave quickly when you understand, Xiayan City is not a place for you to stay."

"I'm afraid it won't work. I have been entrusted by Tan Rongchong to completely remove the water corpses in Lingyan Lake."

"The Qin family deserves to endure this kind of pain for the rest of their lives."

Xie Mu waved his small hand in the air, and a cold hurricane rose from the ground. The next moment, it exploded like a firecracker, rustling the branches and leaves of the willow tree.

The strong wind quickly spread to the houses not far away, and the tiles on the eaves gradually made harsh sounds, as if they were about to be rolled down. The violent movement woke up the sleeping people in the house, and Nie Qiu could vaguely hear the sound inside. screams.

"Get out of here, or I'll kill you all!" he said angrily.

The wind whimpered, and Xie Mu's voice didn't sound like a human's, but like a bird's song.

Seeing that his mood was unstable, Nie Qiu guessed that there was no need to stay any longer, because Xie Mu didn't seem to be able to continue to communicate with them normally, so he exchanged a glance with Fang Qisheng, and pulled Xu Lang away. left.

The strong wind was still expanding, and the sound of the wind screamed together, breaking the tranquility of the moonlit night.

Covered by the sound of the wind, the sound of hurried footsteps was so low that it could be ignored.

This matter was far from that simple. After going around in circles, Tan Rongchong was involved again.Nie Qiu secretly thought, it seems that the next thing can be stopped for a while, and when Tan Hongchong comes to him with Gu worms, he can make plans.

"Qinggong is not bad!" Xu Lang lay on Nie Qiu's back and suddenly let out a sigh of admiration.

Hearing this, Nie Qiu just smiled, turned his head, and glanced behind him.

There are still three sticks of incense stuck in the soil moistened by wine, crumbling in the wind.

And Xie Mu has disappeared.
