Generally speaking, if you see a distress sign, Baili Jueming's first reaction is that it was left by a disciple of the immortal sect who entered the ghost kingdom.However, this "help" at the corner of the table is very strange.

They are not Chinese characters, but Masang Yuchong Zhuan.

They walked through many houses, and this time they searched carefully, and found the same distress signs in many places.A Masang man got lost in the cemetery built by himself, wandered around many places helplessly, and left a sign for help every time he went, hoping that rescuers would find him.

Pei Zhen stroked the feather worm seal and said, "This is a child."

He spoke very firmly, Baili Jueming raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"The first mark appears on the corner of the table, the second mark is under the window sill, the third mark is on the drum surface of the cowhide drum, and the fourth mark is on the surface of the brass mirror." Pei Zhen said, "Didn't seniors notice it? These marks have a common denominator.”

Baili Jueming couldn't figure it out, so he said "tch", "Tell me, let's see what tricks you can come up with?"

"If the distress sign is to be found by others, it must be marked in a conspicuous place. If it was a senior, where would you mark it?" Pei Zhen asked.

Baili Jueming casually knocked on the wall, "Here."

"That's right," Pei Zhen gestured at the position of Baili Jueming's finger, "According to the height of an adult, it is indeed the most suitable high place at eye level. However, all the marks we found are in low places. We have to You have to bend over, or even crouch, to spot this person's distress sign."

Pei Zhen looked at the handwriting, each stroke seemed immature and sincere.He said: "He is not very old, at most ten years old."

How could a child enter the ghost country of Huangquan?This child is from Masang, so he must have come earlier than them, the Metaphor family and the Xie family.Before the sect was established in Tiandu Mountain, before the great master discovered the crack in the ground, a child was forgotten here, and I don't know how many years have passed.Do his parents know?How frightening it must be for a little baby less than ten years old to wander here.Baili Jueming sighed.

Today, the child is most likely dead.

No longer thinking about the child, they stared at the opposite room for a long time. This time, both of them cheered up and never fell asleep.However, they seemed to have seen it, and it was as if they hadn't seen it, because the opposite room changed its appearance in the blink of an eye, and neither of them could clearly see how it changed.Pei Zhen changed his method and placed a crescent stool on the threshold.The room changed again, and the opposite half of the crescent stool disappeared out of thin air. They held the remaining half and fell into silence.

"It seems to be a magic technique." Pei Zhen broke the silence, "Senior is well-informed, do you have any clues?"

What he said, if he didn't have a clue, wouldn't he be ignorant?Baili Jueming held back for a long time, looked around in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "Pei Zhen, let's not talk about this, do you think the village is too empty?"

Pei Zhen nodded solemnly, "I agree."

Along the way, they found a very unusual place, that is, most of the rooms in the village were empty.It is very unreasonable to build so many houses, but leave them vacant here, and only a few corpses are sitting in the big house they just entered.

"According to your previous guess, Yinmu Village is for the dead." Baili Jueming said, "It's too big for a few dead people to build such a big place."

Where has everyone gone?

Can't figure it out for a while, Baili Jueming gave up and threw the Lingxi knife to Pei Zhen, "Anyway, the village is almost empty, and the house is always changing, so it doesn't matter if we make noise. Try splitting the roof, I will easily You can't use spells, you chop."

Pei Zhen pulled out the knife according to his words, and slashed at the roof, creating a gap.A few broken planks fell, splashing a thick fog of dust.Pei Zhen quickly hid behind Baili Jueming, covering his mouth and nose, not even a speck of dust on his body.

Baili Jueming wiped his face, and his hands were covered in ashes.There was a choking dusty smell in his mouth, which made him sick.He spit a few mouthfuls and said angrily, "You are clever!"

The two climbed up along the beams and pillars, poked their heads out and saw that they had arrived at another hut.It stands to reason that they were originally on the highest floor of the building, and the next floor should be the roof, but they failed to go out, but entered a new room.Baili Jueming was very discouraged, after tossing and tossing for so long, he had no clue at all.An old bone had to run around with the young man, he felt bitter, dragged his hands and feet to find a place to lie down, and looked at the room.

The furnishings here are very different from other places, the furniture is leaning against the wall, the boxes, tables and chairs are piled high together to block the main entrance, a door-blocking corpse is squeezed in the middle, and the door panel is opened with a gap.You can tell what happened at a glance, there are many footprints on the ground, broken bowls are rolled all over the floor, there are many sword marks on the tables and chairs, all of which are traces of fighting.Fearing that the dead body at the gate would be picked up, Baili Jueming threw it down the hole in the floor.

Pei Zhen wiped off the dust on the ground with a handkerchief, and found many fine marks cut by a very thin weapon.Pei Zhen asked Baili Jueming to sweep the floor, but Baili Jueming refused to get up.Pei Zhen shook his head helplessly, tore off a piece of cloth from his body, walked back and forth on the soles of his feet, and wiped off the dust.After wiping off the dust, the scene on the ground became much clearer, and Pei Zhen found a sword talisman in the corner.

Talismans are the unique marks of Xianmen, and the styles of each family's talisman are different, Xie's family's wind talisman, Yu's family's sword talisman, Yuan's family's gold talisman, Mu's family's thunder talisman, and Jiang's family's water talisman.Brothers Baochenshan Wudu and Baili Jueming used fire talismans, but they were old and rarely went to each house, and few people had seen fire talismans.

The sword talisman showed that Yu Lianhai had been here before, and an octagonal bronze mirror was placed here. It seemed that these bowls and chopsticks were used by Yu Lianhai and his subordinates.They were resting here by lighting a fire, and suddenly something happened, and something came out of the door.This thing is bound to be very vicious, even the suzerain of the Yu family can hardly deal with it.A member of the Yu family blocked the door in awe-inspiring manner, buying time for the others to escape.

But what about the octagonal bronze mirror?Generally speaking, the mirror should be placed at the position indicated by the sword symbol.Pei Zhen rummaged up and down, but didn't see it.I searched around the house, but couldn't find it.Was it taken away?He felt doubts in his heart. There were four groups of people who came here. The first group was the child who strayed into the ghost country. When he came, no one had entered the fairy gate. He couldn't take the bronze mirror.The second group was Yu Lianhai who left behind the mirror, the third group was Mu Zhishen, the sword amulet was covered by dust, this group of people did not find the bronze mirror here, and the fourth group was him and Baili Juming.

Wanting to understand the middle joint, Pei Zhen pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I never imagined that the land of tigers and wolves, the ghost country of Huangquan, would attract so many people to come and follow."

"What do you mean?" Baili Jueming looked over.

"Before we knew it, there was at least another group of people—the fifth group of people came here, and they took away the bronze mirror." Pei Zhen's smile deepened, "We have only seen the village along the way. The corpses of Min and Xianmen disciples, this group of people probably left the ghost country of Huangquan alive."

"That's a good feeling, at least it means there is a way out." Baili Jueming murmured, he was sleepy, his eyelids were twitching.

"The seal on each side of the bronze mirror is different. Only the master and the sect know how to crack it. It is useless for ordinary people to take the bronze mirror, so this person must be from the sect, or have a close relationship with the master." Pei Zhen said. .

Baili Jueming put his hands behind his head, "Using that... oh, Lian Xinsuo, ask Jiang Ruoxu if anyone knows the seal of the bronze mirror, and ask him to make a list. Those who are not in the ghost country on the list, They all caught up and questioned them. To be honest, Pei Zhen, I don’t think there is much hope, Yinmu Village is so big, we haven’t even finished half of it, maybe the guy’s zombie will pop out after a while.”

"Why ask the teacher, who knows the seal of the bronze mirror, I have the list in my heart." Pei Zhen laughed.

"Oh, who?" Baili Jueming yawned.

"I and Zhishen, we are both in the ghost country." Pei Zhen said slowly, "Then there is only one person left, Grandmaster Wudu."

No wonder that guy knows so many secrets of Ghost Country, so he has been here before.Baili Jueming was not surprised at all. The old man loved to wander around when he was full and had nothing to do.

"It's over, he's dead, and Xunwei and I buried it with our own hands. In order to save money for his coffin, Xunwei didn't eat meat for half a month. When he was alive, he struggled to tell me so much, and I just remembered it." Don't eat indiscriminately," Baili Jueming said.

"Yes." Pei Zhen smiled helplessly, "The clue is broken again."

"Unless old man Wudu turns into an evil ghost and follows me all the time, and jumps out with a corpse here to tell us how to get there." Baili Jueming sighed, "But this old man is profound in Taoism, sees through the world of mortals, and is determined to save the world's ghosts .Even if all the common people in the world become evil spirits, he will not become an evil spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound under the floor, as if something was climbing along the beams below.Baili Jueming woke up with a jerk, and when he sat up, he saw a black head protruding from the hole in the floor.It was obviously a murderous corpse, with a dark face, no lips, and white teeth bared outside.He turned his face and made a "ho ho" sound.When Baili Jueming saw him, his mind exploded with a bang, and he flew away sleepily like a dove.

Baili Jueming pointed at him and shouted, "Old man Wudu!"

Pei Zhen was taken aback, but before he could react, Baili Jueming jumped out like a rabbit.The murderous corpse was startled by him, let go of his hand, and fell back to the bottom floor.Baili Jueming jumped down to chase after him, Pei Zhen picked up the lantern and followed quickly.The murderous corpse ran extremely fast, and Baili Juming was also as fast as a tiger or leopard, whizzing like flying, only a series of afterimages could be seen.
