It is a great blessing for the "ghost" to climb into bed in the middle of the night.

Wu Xingxue originally wanted to pretend to be weak, but he searched the room in the blink of an eye, but he didn't detect the slightest aura belonging to Tianxiu Shangxian.

Xiao Fuxuan is really not here.

Also, if he was there, it would be impossible for such an ugly thing to appear in the house.

Thinking of this, Wu Xingxue suddenly lost the thought of pretending to be weak.No one is there, so who can pretend to show it to.

The thing lying beside the bed was about to move, but someone moved faster than it - in the blink of an eye, the bed was empty, and Wu Xingxue disappeared.

The pair of dead white eyes blinked, and quickly swept across the bed, to both sides, to the bottom of the bed... and did not find any trace of Wu Xingxue.

The eyeballs moved extremely fast, the eyelids could barely cover them, and the edges were black and blue, as if they were rotten.If it was turned faster, it could almost fall out of the eye socket.

It was about to look up, when a voice sounded softly behind it: "I'm behind you."

It froze suddenly, its white eyes motionless.The next moment, it bowed its fingers and was about to explode!But he felt that the life gate of his neck was being grabbed by someone.

That hand was as cold as ice, colder than a dead man's.

After spinning around for a while, it was dragged and slammed to the ground.The pair of hands holding his life gate had already moved to its throat.

It struggled violently, with such strength that even the floor was smashed and cracked many long holes.

But that white and thin hand just remained motionless.

It felt the killing intent in that hand.

"You're really unlucky. I don't remember anything. All I know now is the ultimate move. You'd better be honest and don't move around." Wu Xingxue said softly.

This was the first time it failed to cause trouble, but was suppressed and couldn't move, and flinched under the threat.

Suddenly, the cold wind raged, and the wooden window was knocked open by the wind with a bang.

Wu Xingxue spoke again in the darkness.He had a faint smile, but what he said made people unable to laugh: "The one lying outside the window, I'm not in a very good temper right now, you'd better get into the room now and turn on the lamp. "

"..."

The person outside the window may never have heard such a request, and was silent.

After a long while, someone finally opened the door tremblingly and touched the table carefully.

***

The oil lamp that had been extinguished for a long time was turned on, and the candlelight clearly illuminated the scene in the room——

The person who lights the lamp is the innkeeper.

Wu Xingxue was half-kneeling on the ground in plain clothes, pinching the thing that climbed the bed in the middle of the night...

To be precise, it is not a thing, but a person.

A man who appears to have been dead for a long time.

His head, face, and neck were a little swollen, not because he was born bloated, but rather as if he had been soaked in some kind of juice for a long, long time, so that the skin and flesh were dead white and spread out.

Wu Xingxue thought of the coffin fluid——

In order to ensure that the corpses of the dead will not rot, some folks often ask Xianmen for some special medicinal juice, which is poured into the coffin.

Wu Xingxue's face suddenly lost expression.

He glanced around and saw that the corpse still had a sword in his waist.

So he let go of the hand pinching the opponent's neck, drew the sword and stood up.

The corpse man was about to take the opportunity to struggle to get up, when the sword tip pressed against his forehead.

"Did I wake you up?" Wu Xingxue asked.

His tone has never had a sense of ferocity, it is always light and delicate, as if he is chatting with someone.But that killing intent never left.So much so that the corpse under the sword didn't dare to move, and neither did the shopkeeper at the table.

"Shopkeeper, pass me the clean cloth towel." Wu Xingxue said.

The shopkeeper stared at him fearfully with drooping bags under his eyes, carefully reached for the cloth towel, and handed it over a step away.

He didn't dare to move or make a sound, just watched Wu Xingxue take the cloth towel and wipe his fingers.

Seeing the other party rubbing against each other, he stopped moving, and quietly looked at his wrist with downcast eyes.

The muscles and bones of the two wrists are evenly lengthened, clean, not stained with any dirt, so there is nothing to see.

The shopkeeper thought to himself.

What's even more frightening is that he frowned as he looked at it. He really had a bad temper.

The shopkeeper shrank back carefully.

Outsiders naturally don't know, it is precisely because both wrists are empty that Wu Xingxue frowned.

Last time at Hua's house, Xiao Fuxuan tied a silk thread and a bell around his wrist when he left his body and went to work alone.

He tugged a few times, and the other party came back.

This time there is not even a bell that can call people, and there is no trace of Xiao Fuxuan in the whole inn.

Where has he gone?

Wu Xingxue threw the cloth towel back on the table and looked up at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's scalp was numb when he saw it, and the cold air rushed from behind.Just as he was about to wave his hand to explain, he heard Wu Xingxue ask him, "Where is Xiao Fuxuan?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and barely heard: "Ah? Who?"

In the blink of an eye just now, many things that Wu Xingxue might ask flashed through his mind——

What happened to this corpse on the ground?Why did you appear in my room in the middle of the night? !And why are you lying by the window?You are like this, what do you want to do?

Anyone who is in danger in the middle of the night always wants to ask these questions, but Wu Xingxue asked the most irrelevant sentence.

"I asked." Wu Xingxue said softly, "Where is the person who came with me, did you see it?"

The shopkeeper shook his head.

Wu Xingxue's face turned cold instantly.

When he was expressionless, the slightly drooping eyes were full of disgust, and the killing intent that had never been suppressed was even stronger.

The shopkeeper was really frightened, his throat slipped, and he swallowed: "I... I really didn't see it."

"Aren't you lying on the window and watching?" Wu Xingxue's voice became softer.

"I, I, I just came up, when I came up, when I came up..." The shopkeeper seemed not sure how to explain, and said incoherently: "Not long after I came up, I heard you say 'I'm behind you', then ...you should know what happened next."

After hearing this, Wu Xingxue's expression became even worse: "Will I believe you when you tell me?"

The shopkeeper was anxious: "It's all the truth! The truth! If there is a lie, I, I will be struck by lightning!"

It's not that Wu Xingxue doesn't believe his words.

In fact, he could have guessed the result before he even asked the question—the shopkeeper would be so cowardly if he frightened him for a while, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to win a Shangxian.

So Xiao Fuxuan's disappearance should have nothing to do with him.

Wu Xingxue could guess.

He just couldn't find anyone, and he was just upset.

"What about you?" He held the sword in his backhand and nailed it down——

The corpse man suddenly closed his eyes, only feeling the sword's edge pass by his scalp, and he could even feel a long and thin gash in his skin.If he was still alive, there must have been gurgling blood oozing continuously from the long mouth.

It won't die, but it can make people cry.

"What are you? When did you come to the room? Where is the other person in the room?" Wu Xingxue squatted down.

The corpse man stared at him with dead white eyes, opened his mouth, and then tightly pressed his lips together.Then shook his head.

But Wu Xingxue frowned.

He pinched both sides of the corpse's cheeks with his thumb and index finger, and exerted all his strength.

Hearing two clicks, the corpse tensed his jaw and loosened a little, and his mouth opened naturally, like an open cave——

He has two rows of fine teeth, but no tongue.

Wu Xingxue pressed it down again, and found a protrusion under his larynx, touched his hand, and it seemed that there was a nail sealed in it.

Tongueless and sealed, I'm afraid that's why I can't speak.

If Xiao Fuxuan was here, there must be a way to make this corpse speak without a tongue.

But he is not there.

Wu Xingxue got even more annoyed, took a cup of tea casually, poured it on the dead man's hand, and said in a low voice, "Write."

The corpse man's fingers were trembling, and he made meaningless and repetitive movements between the traces of tea.

"This thing, he... he can't answer." The shopkeeper couldn't hold back, and added a sentence beside him.

"Then what can you answer?" Wu Xingxue said without raising her head, "Someone said something before..."

Xiao Fuxuan said that this is an illusion, it is best not to make too much noise, so as not to affect the illusion, and I don't know what troubles will happen.

"He said, it's best not to make too much noise here." Wu Xingxue turned to look at the shopkeeper, "He's gone now, and I have no one to ask. What do you mean... what is a big noise? Fighting ?kill?"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, it can't be like this, it can't be like this. I—hey! I said, what I have to say."

The shopkeeper said it was a long story, and he didn't know how to explain it clearly, so he had to start from the beginning.

***

"How many years have I opened this shop in Luohuashan City? A treasured place to gather blessings and energy. Then one day, jade branches grew out of the cracks in the rocks behind my store, although there were only such a small amount..."

He shook his fingers, carefully drew a distance of less than an inch, and said: "I thought to myself, could it be that the treasure land appeared? Then I invited the fairy gate to see it, but they said it was not a good omen, and said that my fortune in this treasure land has been dispersed. From prosperity to decline, from good to bad, and advised me to change a place..."

Naturally, he didn't believe in that evil. He had said before that he had occupied a treasured land, so why did it suddenly become a disaster.So he inquired and asked around, checked countless books, read all the ones he could understand and the ones he couldn't understand, and he never let go of the legends about the beginning of the Dao of Heaven.

In the end, he found a result for himself.

"I think that should be a little jade essence that is rare to see in a hundred years." The shopkeeper said.

Hearing the "Jade Essence" mentioned by Xiao Fuxuan, Wu Xingxue raised his eyes.

"If it's really jade essence, then it's a legendary thing, and it's auspicious. How could it turn from prosperity to decline!" The shopkeeper said: "So I didn't listen to those fairy elders, and I didn't plan to move out of here. As a result... hey, It didn't take long before something happened."

The shopkeeper glanced at Wu Xingxue's face, and said, "There was a guest who stayed and disappeared, and there was no trace of him."

"He came with his daughter. That little girl is young and can't speak well. She cried so much that no one could bear to look at her. Naturally, I had to ask, so I invited the Immortal Gate again. There are many people in Luohuashan City. , fearing that there would be too much noise and cause trouble, those fairy elders stayed here and went to investigate quietly, and it turned out..."

The shopkeeper glanced at Wu Xingxue again, hesitated to speak, as if he didn't dare to continue.

Wu Xingxue stared at him and said, "The result."

The shopkeeper swallowed, closed his eyes and said in resignation: "As a result, those elders searched the entire Luohuashan City, but they couldn't find that guest. He just disappeared out of thin air and never appeared again."
