Baili Jueming stood far away, Pei Zhen took a step forward, and he took a step back.

"You..." Baili Jueming pointed at him, his fingers trembling slightly, "Brat, tell the truth, are you plotting against me?"

It's too scary, he wanted to find Pei Zhen to be his son-in-law, but he didn't expect to be spotted!He couldn't help but think of the anecdotal stories he had heard in the early years, about how the son-in-law raped the old man, and the old man couldn't stand the son-in-law's excessive demands, so he cried bitterly and reported to the government.The government judged them to be indecent, the old man was punished, and the son-in-law was exiled for three thousand miles.There were tremors on his back, the more he looked at this kid, the more he felt like a beast in clothes.

"Young hero is too worried." Pei Zhen held a green oil-paper umbrella, smiling unchangingly on his face, "I regard Qin Shaoxia as a close friend, and I can't bear the danger of Shaoxia, so I'm here to help you."

Baili Jueming was a little skeptical, "Really?"

"Of course." Pei Zhen's eyes were innocent and sincere, "When the young man first met me, didn't he say that he was congenial to me and would form an indissoluble bond? In fact, I thought so too."

"..." Could it be that this kid was really wrong?That's right, he was a married man, and he also had a dead wife who had been dead for many years. How could he be a broken sleeve?Baili Jueming felt a little embarrassed, coughed a few times to cover up, and turned his eyes to look around. They were standing in an old forest. The sound of rain, the dense rain splashed thousands of silver needle-like lights on the black leaves.

Pei Zhen walked in the direction of Baili Cassia unhurriedly, and the rain fell on his clear and round umbrella.

He asked softly: "It's raining and the road is far away, won't the young hero come in and hide?"

Baili Jueming looked at his tiny umbrella, if they wanted to hide from the rain together, they would be close to him.Baili Jueming took a step back and said, "Forget it, I'll just take a bath. It's okay, I don't need your help, you go back quickly. Huangquan Ghost Country is not a place for jokes, if you take the little one Fate is here, what should Xun Wei do?"

"The master will take good care of Mrs. Xunwei, so you don't have to worry." Pei Zhen took out the compass to identify the direction, "Is that place called 'Yinmu Village'? It's such an eerie name."

Baili Jueming was a little anxious and said in a huff, "Go back quickly, did you hear that?"

"The so-called best friend is to have the same life and death. No matter what, I will never leave the young hero." Pei Zhen found his way, put away the compass, looked back and smiled, "Young hero, hurry up, don't Fall behind."

"..."

Baili Jueming had no choice but to scratch his hair irritably. This kid looked gentle and gentle, but his temper was actually very tyrannical.He made up his mind that the three cows could not be pulled back.That's all, if you want to court death, you can court death, anyway, these people from Xianmen are naturally fond of courting death.Baili Jueming pursed her lips and followed his footsteps.The two walked through the gray-black mountain forest. Pei Zhen put away his umbrella and ran quickly.The wind and rain were turbulent, and Baili Jueming became a drenched chicken dripping with black water. I don't know what kind of magic this kid Pei Zhen used, but he didn't even get a drop of water on his body.

They found the wind talisman engraving on Xie Cenguan, and followed the path stepped by the previous team to see the old village.Sure enough, it was a gloomy black wooden village, and at the first sight, he knew that there was nothing good in it. Baili Jueming set up an arbor with his right hand, and the rainwater poured down on his fingers, and he looked up at it very hard. Zhaizi, said: "Grandma, what do you people look at? How dare you enter this place?"

This village looks extremely gloomy, squatting in the heavy rain mountain forest like a ferocious beast.Baili Jueming did not rush in, but walked around the village first.Apart from the gloomy appearance, nothing special.Back at Pei Zhen's place, the guy was standing under the wall with an umbrella in one hand, and a silk handkerchief in the other, rubbing the mud on the adobe bricks one by one, and sniffing lightly under his nose.

"What do you smell?" Baili Jueming asked.

Pei Zhen put the handkerchief to the tip of his nose.what?Baili Jueming felt something was wrong, pinched Pei Zhen's wrist, and carefully sniffed the dirt on his handkerchief.An extremely imperceptible corpse smell, the more you smell it, the clearer it is, it's extremely disgusting.Baili Jueming walked around the base of the wall and smelled several places in a row, all of which had the same smell.

"There are corpses built into this wall?" Baili Jueming patted the wall, "Get out of the way, I'll blow the wall away to have a look."

"Be safe and don't be impatient," Pei Zhen shook his head, "The smell of corpses penetrates deep into the mud cracks of the wall, every brick has it, and the smell is uniform. If every brick has the smell of corpses, even if all the people in Gusu City die, they will die." Death, the dead body can't be done here. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is something wrong with the raw materials they use to fire the masonry." Pei Zhen said.

"Could it be corpse mud?" Baili Jueming picked out a brick and touched it. The black clay brick was washed by rain, and it really looked like the rotten flesh of a corpse.

"That's not the case. The soil used for burning bricks must be pure soil that has been dried in the sun. The mud of corpses is silted, and bricks cannot be burned. The soil they use should be old mud from the cemetery, and the cemetery they choose must be a big family. The graves are buried in a hilltop for generations. The soil has been soaked with corpse gas all year round, which is why it has such a heavy odour." Pei Zhen sighed, "Ghosts can't create things out of thin air. That's it. Burning bricks from graves to build a village, this village was not intended for living people."

"This is not a stockade, it's a big tomb." Baili Jueming said in a low voice, "No wonder those who entered couldn't get out. This stockade is a grave built for the dead. If a dead person enters the grave, how could he be allowed to come out? reason?"

For example, the door god paintings posted on the gate of Yizhuang, ordinary people think that they are used to ward off evil spirits. This is of course one of their functions, but their greater function is to calm the ghosts inside and prevent them from leaving Yizhuang.There must be a door god-like mechanism in this Yinmu village, even if the dead buried inside change violently, they cannot get out of the village.

Roughly sorting out the timeline, it should be built by the village builders for the dead. Later, for some reason, the ghost mother descended to the ghost domain here, and took the entire area together with the Yinmu village away from the human world. There is no trace of Huangquan Ghost Country.Why did the ghost mother choose to descend to the ghost domain here? Is it related to the custom of building a village as a tomb here?

Baili Jueming raised his head, looking at the high wall standing in the rain.

He was whimsical, "I really don't want to go in. Otherwise, let the things inside come out and die. After cleaning up, go in and search for treasures."

Pei Zhen smiled wryly, "Young hero, don't mess around, not to mention whether it will disturb the sleeping ghost mother in the depths of the ghost country, but if all the murderous corpses in the village come out, I'm afraid even we will have difficulty getting out."

"Get away?" Baili Jueming clicked his tongue, "With your skills, you won't be able to get away once you enter the stockade. Pei Zhen, I'll say it again for the last time. Where did you come from? Where did you go back? I don't have time to take care of you, you You're still young, don't fucking put your life in such a ghostly place."

Pei Zhen looked at him quietly for a while, and said: "The young man doesn't regard me as a friend. From the very beginning, the young man was sure that Yinmu Village is very dangerous, so he must know something about it. The young man is willing to entrust Mrs. Xunwei to you Me, but I don’t want to confide in my heart.”

"It's not good for you or Xunwei to know about it," Baili Jueming said.

"How about it," Pei Zhen looked into his eyes, "Young Xia told me the whole story, and I will return to Dicrack immediately to marry Mrs. Xunwei."

"You..." Baili Jueming stared at him, "Are you so curious?"

"It's not curiosity, it's just that I want to know more about Shaoxia. Shaoxia hides a lot of secrets, and even I keep it in the dark. It really makes people...very unhappy."

He spoke the last few words too low, his voice was covered by the sound of the torrential rain, and Baili Jueming asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

Pei Zhen didn't answer, but just smiled lowly, "How? Once I say something, it's hard to chase after me. Doesn't the young man believe me?"

He is born with an affinity, has such warm eyes, and such a warm smile, how can he be a bad person?Baili Jueming thinks that he is a good person, and since he has been with him day and night for so long, it is impossible for him to act all the time.Baili Jueming thought for a moment, and finally compromised, "Then it's settled, you have to marry Xun Wei and take care of her for the rest of your life."

"Yeah." Pei Zhen nodded with a smile, "I swear."

Since he is going to be his son-in-law, it doesn't hurt to tell this kid.Baili Jueming said: "'Into the crack of the ground, go three hundred miles to the north, and there is a Yinmu village. The space inside is strange and ever-changing, and it is difficult for those who entered it to return.' This is what the old man Wudu told me, In the past on Baochen Mountain, he liked to tell me these ghost stories when he was free. To pass the time, you know, people get bored if they live too long." He untied his belt and showed Pei Zhen his rotten abdomen , "Didn't you ask me why I took care of Xunwei? Because I am her master, and I am the Baili Cassia that you shouted and killed. If I don't take care of her, who will take care of her? Half a month ago I came from a deep sleep. After waking up, I was in Kunshan as soon as I opened my eyes, and then I met the brothers and sisters of the Yu family and Xunwei."

"It rots so quickly..." Pei Zhen stretched out his finger in a daze, touching his ugly scar.

"Yeah," Baili Jueming smiled helplessly, "It was too fucking fast. Believe it or not, I wasn't the one who cut off Yu Lianhai's head. I'm really not interested in your fairy sect, and I never thought about revenge. It doesn't matter to me to become a lonely ghost who can't touch the world, or to be sealed in the deep valley of memory. I've been wandering between life and death for too long. If there is a way to save me, then I'm very happy Yes." He put on his clothes and said, "That's it, that's it, you can go."

He waved his hands and climbed up the stone wall. When he was walking in a circle, he saw a building with windows on it. He planned to climb up and enter the enclosure from there.Ordinary people would enter through the gate, but he chose not to take the usual way.Halfway through the climb, Pei Zhen, who was wearing a coir raincoat, passed him. He watched helplessly as the kid climbed up unhurriedly, and finally jumped into the window of the building.

"You!" Baili Jueming also jumped into the window, staring at him with wide eyes, "Didn't you fucking say you knew the truth and left?"

Pei Zhen took off his coir raincoat and threw it aside.

"Of course I lied to senior," Pei Zhen teased with a smile, "Senior is really innocent, and it's easier to deceive than imagined."

Baili Jueming was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he was really unbelievable!He seems to be a gentleman, and he doesn't even bat an eye when he tells a lie!

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Baili Jueming bared his teeth to scare him, "I'm a ghost, the kind that eats people!"

He bared his canine teeth vigorously, not vicious at all, but very cute.Pei Zhen tried his best to hold back his laughter, and stretched out his hand to press his head. "Compared to those people's false names, I believe in my own eyes. Senior, don't mess around anymore, and tell me what Grandmaster Wudu said. Otherwise, if I If something happens, senior will lose me."

The little doll is really disobedient now!Baili Jueming slapped his hand away angrily, saying so much because he just wanted to know the secrets of Huangquan Ghost Kingdom.Baili Jueming snorted, and said, "Stinky boy, don't think I'm easy to fool, you must be begging for nothing to follow, you must have ulterior motives. You tell me what you want to do first, and then I'll consider whether I should tell you about Ghost Kingdom or not." thing."

"Senior is really wronged," Pei Zhen's eyes were very sad and lonely, "I treat senior as 'the lotus root body must be broken in the end, and I will give you a heart of ice', and senior even suspects that I have bad intentions."

Baili Jueming blushed when he heard what this guy was talking about, and scolded: "Don't lie to me, don't tell me I'm gone, don't worry about you."

Pei Zhen had no choice but to confess.He looked at the whirling rain line outside the building, and his voice suddenly became very ethereal.

"I want to... collect the body of an old man."
