Don't fall in love with a pig killer!

At the foot of Wuling Mountain, there are countless small black spots densely arranged, which look like clusters of teeny heads when viewed from a distance.

Xie Qiushi squatted on the cliff, frowned and looked at it for a while, and said, "Yan Chicheng, do you know what's going on with them?"

Yan Chicheng looked down, his face was more dignified than that of Master Xie.

"Yan Chicheng?" Xie Qiushi asked again, "And those people from Dongling..."

"Not the same." Yan Chicheng frowned, "They smell more like ghosts."

"Huh?" Xie Qiushi moved the tip of his nose, "It's really ugly—I remember Zhu Bailing said that there is a dead root of the living soul tree in the golden thread clothes, but it has something to do with it?"

Yan Chicheng shook his head slowly: "Impossible."

His words were firm and his voice was decisive. Xie Qiushi suddenly felt a little strange, so he turned his head, stared at him, and looked at him fixedly.

Yan Chicheng said: "What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that when Qin Lingche called you back to the Heavenly Court, you told me that he knew everything and knew your identity and deeds long ago." Xie Qiushi asked slowly, "He ordered people to destroy the ghost way, you as a ghost Immortal, why did he tolerate you so far?"

Yan Chicheng moved his lips, but before he could speak, a loud shout suddenly came from below: "Thank you, Sect Leader!! You are back!"

Xie Qiushi heard the familiar shout, turned around and smiled, "Hey, Xiaofu, what's going on here?"

Fu Qingfeng said anxiously: "Thank you, head, where have you been?"

Xie Qiushi said "Hey", waved his hands and said, "Don't ask me first, what's going on here? There is a huge group of guests."

"Half of it was changed by the people of Dongling." Fu Qingfeng sighed, "The other half came from Linyao, the capital of the emperor—Master, come down with me to have a look, Yan... Immortal Lord Yan also invites you."

The three of them climbed down the clouds, and the further they went down, the more they could taste the stagnant aura hanging above their heads. Xie Qiushi originally followed Fu Qingfeng, but when they reached the foot of the mountain, they unknowingly took the first place.

"Are these... stone statues?" Xie Qiushi looked around in surprise.

From Taoyuan Ferry to the three peaks of Wuling, there are men, old or young, standing all over the place, motionless, standing on the ground, like a dead thing, but there is a faint sound, like a living person, but still like a sculpture, like a stick Like an army of stone sculptures coming from a ghostly place, the coldness accumulated in the shadows.

Xie Qiushi held the handle of the fan with one hand, chose a "human sculpture" at random, and slapped it left and right a few times. The "human sculpture" was still silent, but a burst of dust fell with the fan. Like dry bark.

"Can an old tree become a spirit?" He looked at Yan Chicheng and asked.

Yan Chicheng's eyes flashed, and he said: "After the tree of living soul dies, there will be no new ghosts and ghosts in the world."

Xie Qiushi said "Well", with his hands behind his back, he walked around several "human sculptures" in circles, and looked carefully. Compared with ordinary people, the faces of "human sculptures" were more crowded, with drooping lips and bulging eyebrows, as if A piece of bark tightened inwards grew in the skull, shrinking and pulling the entire human face into a ball.

Headmaster Xie frowned at the ugliness: "Qingfeng, when did this group of things come here? How did they get into Taoyuanjin?"

"It's ashamed to say, but we don't know when they came in." Fu Qingfeng said slightly annoyed, "Brother Cen was distracted by the five sects, so I went to Dongling again, but some disciples of Dai Lan's sect, When I started to practice, I suddenly found that there were a few more 'woods' in front of the martial arts posts. Look carefully, good guy, where are the wooden posts?

Xie Qiushi "tsk tsk" twice: "It's creepy. You went to Dongling, did you find anything?"

Fu Qingfeng nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's very chaotic, it's not just the chaos of Dongling, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the chaos of the world... The patients are walking around the streets like corpses, not crying for their parents, It became like this pair of woodcarvings. Nether believers went around to support women, children and their families, and the government set up a "sick relocation workshop" to isolate the sick. Unexpectedly, the county guard listened to the slander of the star officials, and in order to eradicate the epidemic, thirteen places were wiped out overnight. The sickness workshop was set on fire, and the Nether Sect took advantage of the situation to instigate women and children to rebel, killing many officers and soldiers in Dongling, causing a bloody riot all over the city..."

"Wait, star official?" Xie Qiushi was taken aback.

"A group of immortal cultivators raised by the imperial court." Yan Chicheng explained in a low voice, "for alchemy and medicine, and for fortune-telling purposes."

"At that time, the great star official was named Xie, and his name was Xie Yuanchun." Fu Qingfeng said, "The star officials are not strong-willed, and most of them use the effects of pills and herbs to prolong life and improve magic skills, but most of them will not become immortals. Not long."

While talking, the three of them had already crossed the group of "human sculptures" and walked towards Taoyuan Ferry. They didn't see the ferry, but they heard ghosts crying and shrieking faintly.

"Those in white clothes," Xie Qiushi raised his eyebrows looking at the white shadows in the distance, "Who are they?"

"The star officials sent by the imperial court to deal with the disaster of Dongling," Fu Qingfeng paused, "Headed by Xie Yuanchun."

Xie Qiushi laughed softly: "Why don't you go to Dongling to cure the disaster, but come here instead?"

"Where is Dongling safe here?" Fu Qingfeng sneered, and said again, "These star officials claim to be Taoists in white clothes, but in fact they are neither noble nor moral, and Senior Brother Cen is not a bamboo basket filled with a group of panacea. Prepare to let them in..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly caught sight of something and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?!"

At Taoyuan Ferry, in the depths of the fallen flowers, a terrifying scene gradually emerged—dozens of star officials dressed in white, floating on the smoky river, slowly approaching, if not for the sound of sobbing and wailing coming from the bottom of their feet Come on, they really look like a group of exiled immortals.

Xie Qiushi took a closer look, and saw that Taoyuan Jin had no boats or crossings, and the feet of these dozens of star officials were actually dry and bony palms. Their wrists were tied with horse bridles and tied to the ankles of the star officials At the same time, every time the star official in white stepped on his foot, the owner of the palm let out a thin hum.

Fu Qingfeng's face was ashen, his eyes were frosty, watching the star officials in white triumphantly cross the Taoyuanjin, which is "impenetrable to ordinary people", the "palms" driven by them finally surfaced, and the limbs of men with pale complexions Stiffly climbed up to the river bank, looking at his face, he was really no different from the "human sculptures" all over the ground!

"You are Xie Qiushi, the head of Wuling?" The star official who came on the "Human Sculpture" folded his arms and smiled, with his toes bumping against the gravel at the port, "It is said that the great powers of the Wuling sect are half A talented man who has only stepped into the fairy gate, seeing the appearance of Xie's sect leader... you can't believe the rumors?"

Fu Qingfeng frowned, turned to look at Xie Qiushi, and saw Xie Qiushi's expression was calm, but a smile suddenly broke out on his mouth when he heard the words.

Master Xie didn't even say a word, he waved his folding fan, and with a "plop", the expression of the star official in white changed, before he had time to move, he knelt heavily on the ground.

The star officials said angrily: "Bold!"

"Looking at it this way, it's much more pleasing to the eye." Xie Qiushi walked two steps forward slowly, touched his chin and said with a smile, "You are not allowed to cross the river, and you have to step on others to force it, what's the big deal? Say Say it."
