"What are you talking about?" The little boy who led the way turned around and said with a smile, "The Zuixian Tower is coming. By the way, have you brought any money?"

"What money?" Le Yuan asked.It feels like Xiaotong is not referring to Lingshi.

"This one." The little boy held up the two paper copper coins that he had just exchanged from the paper figurine stand, and the onyxy white paper coins were held in his little hands, rustling in the wind, "If you don't have any money to buy, I can share one or two with you." Try a piece of dried meat."

"Thank you, thank you, no need, let's go and have a look."

Even if Zuixianlou really sells dried meat, Le Yuan would not dare to eat any food in this ghost town now.

"Hee hee, big brother doesn't need to be so polite."

Turning the corner of the street, I saw a restaurant with a signboard of "Zuixianlou". It has a wide front and occupies half of the street.

It seems that the store has just opened, and the store is deserted, and there are more waiters than customers.

"I want a pack of dried spirit beast meat." The little boy ran into the door and handed over the two paper copper coins pinched together to the counter.

"Guests wait a moment." After receiving the paper money, the shop waiter shouted at the kitchen, "Small portion of dried meat, fried now—"

"I want a big portion!" said the little boy, "I also brought two big coins. I saw with my own eyes that they are not paper figurines, but living souls!"

The little boy turned around with a smile on his face.At some point, the two people following behind had disappeared.

"It smells so strong." Le Yuan sniffed his nose.

Although it is a restaurant, the restaurant is not a slaughterhouse. This restaurant does not buy raw meat, but slaughters livestock in its own back kitchen.

They went around to the back alley of Zuixian Tower, climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard next door.The house next door is a closed jewelry store, and the backyard is overgrown with weeds, which doesn't look like there are people living there.

Stepping on a short tree, they looked towards the backyard of Zuixianlou.It was an unusual sight, with several large round bamboo baskets on the two stools, in which were pickled vegetables and dried goods to dry, strips of pickled meat hung on wooden racks next to it, and mountains of empty wine jars piled up in the corner.There is an inconspicuous small door on the back wall of the restaurant, leading to the yard.

"I seem to have heard the child say 'two big coins', guess what it means?" Le Yuan whispered.

"You and me." Mu Xuefeng answered concisely.

"Hiss. Although I can see that the brat is not a good stubble..."

So when Xiao Tong came to the land boundary, the two of them ran away as soon as they saw the signboard of Zuixian Tower.

After leaning on the courtyard wall and looking around for a while, I saw a man who looked like a handyman entered the courtyard from the back door of the restaurant, holding a sharp knife in his hand, squatting in the corner of the courtyard sharpening it.

Le Yuan took a closer look, but there was no shadow of this person.

Now, Le Yuan also understands that, just like the legend of "serving the tiger" on the earth, people who are eaten by the tiger demon will become ghosts, work for the tiger demon, and lure passers-by to eat for the tiger; People are all ghosts.

One person was sharpening a knife, and another person drove out the livestock to be slaughtered from the back kitchen.Perhaps the freshest meat is needed for fried jerky, which must be slaughtered on the spot.

The "livestock" was tied up with thick ropes, barely moved a few steps under the driving, staggered and fell to the ground.

hiss.

Le Yuan rounded his eyes.

The cyan Taoist robe with lotus pattern on the corner, and that face—isn't that Yu Mengsong!

I haven't seen it all night, this product is the same as the previous black dragon, mixed into ingredients?

Yu Mengsong struggled to get up amid the curses of the handyman, and his upturned face happened to face their direction.It is estimated that they saw the two people protruding from the wall, and a pair of dim eyes suddenly burst into light.

This light also shocked Le Yuan's heart.

Even if he is a pervert, he can't really... just watch him being slaughtered like a livestock!

I and my owner have been bullied by Qinglian Jianzong. I don't know if Yu Mengsong knows it, and it's hard to say if it's a bitter trick... But Le Yuan's conscience doesn't allow him to just watch and do nothing, and he will definitely do it in the future nightmarish!

Hastily glanced at the owner, Mu Xuefeng looked cold and did not respond.

Well, the owner is not interested in saving people, so I myself...

Le Yuan hesitated for a moment.

He is not good at close combat, and he doesn't know how to deal with this situation, and he doesn't want to drag the owner who doesn't want to get involved in this matter.

As if realizing something, the light of hope in Yu Mengsong's eyes went out, he turned his face away, and didn't look at the courtyard wall again, lest the two ghosts get suspicious.

He laughed, and murmured: "Forget it, I think I am also an elite disciple of Jianzong, and I will capsize in the gutter, and in my next life—"

The voice became louder, and the voice was more hearty: "Let me be the son of the little cat!"

Meow meow meow?

Le Yuan was dumbfounded.

Since learning the magic spell of "Call Dad", the little orange cat has gained many sons, but this is the first time that someone is rushing to be his son!

It might not even be hilarious.If there is no one to rescue him, this guy will be reincarnated soon!

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and Mu Xuefeng's figure turned into a gust of wind, over the courtyard wall, and rushed into the backyard.

First, he snatched the sharpened steel knife from the hand of the handyman who was squatting in the corner sharpening the knife. The light of the knife was like a rainbow, and it cut the handyman's throat; Another handyman's heart was up to the handle.

The handyman subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the handle of the knife, and when he was about to shout, Mu Xuefeng who rushed to him covered his mouth and pulled out the sharp knife stuck in his heart.Blood splattered, and the lifeless body fell limply to the ground.

With a flash of the knife, it was Mu Xuefeng who cut the thick rope that bound Yu Mengsong.

Even if he couldn't mobilize his spiritual power, his skills were still sharp and fierce, far beyond the comparison of untrained ordinary people.In a few breaths, all these actions were completed.

Strength... recovered a little?Clenching the sharp knife that he had taken away, a trace of shock that was not noticed by others flashed across Mu Xuefeng's eyes.

If I kill one person in the city, can I regain some strength?

On the side, Le Yuan was dumbfounded, and Yu Mengsong was also dumbfounded.

...Could it be because I don't want Yu Mengsong to be my son?

When he was still in a state of shock, he heard a roar full of anger from the Zuixian Tower——

Even if Mu Xuefeng didn't make any abnormal noises during the whole process, if the ghost was beheaded, the tiger demon who controlled the ghost would naturally feel it immediately.

"Run!" With a low shout, holding the steel knife, Mu Xuefeng knocked open the backyard door.

Le Yuan also hurriedly jumped off the tree, and rushed out with Yu Mengsong.

Hu, Hu, Hu.

The body that has been strengthened after entering the pulse coagulation period is a bit too much for such high-intensity continuous running.

One hand was grabbed by the owner, and Le Yuan was almost dragged forward.

You can smell the stench of blood coming from behind...

The tiger demon is still chasing behind!

The buildings on both sides of the street were engulfed in the sea of ​​fog, and the shadows could not be seen clearly, except for a few lanterns that were lit.But no one can tell whether there will be a shadowless person standing under the blood-red lantern.

With a burning pain in his throat and burning pain in his chest, Le Yuan almost didn't turn his mind, only knew to move his legs and run non-stop.

At this time, in the middle of the road ahead, there was a man holding a white lantern, waving to them.

Shadow... ah, Le Yuan thought intermittently, the lantern bearer has... a shadow.

It shouldn't be a ghost.

Behind the lantern bearer, there is an open courtyard door, which seems to indicate that the three fleeing desperately can hide in.

The tiger demon's aura was getting closer, and they had no choice. Together with the lantern bearer, they rushed into the courtyard with the open door and slammed the gate heavily.

The closed courtyard door seemed to be some kind of enchantment, which instantly cut off the atmosphere inside and outside the courtyard.

The fishy smell of the tiger demon disappeared immediately.

The dazed people took a breath for a while, seeing that the tiger monster did not break into the door, they were relieved.

Le Yuan looked at the lantern bearer and was about to say thank you.But he saw a white lantern rolling to the ground, and the sharp knife in Mu Xuefeng's hand pierced into the heart of the bearer of the lantern.

The face of the lantern bearer turned pale as paper in an instant, and the corner of his mouth cracked into a sly smile, then he fell back, twitched twice, and never moved again.

Then, the corpse turned into a man made of paper.The chest that was originally white was stained with a large blood red.

"Old, old Mu?"

Mu Xuefeng turned her face and said calmly, "Look around."

Looking around, it was a small courtyard paved with blue bricks.I didn't bother to look at it just now, but when I looked carefully, there was blood-like dirt in the gaps of each blue brick.It didn't flow down from the chest of the lantern bearer. The blood stain was dark red and black, and it had solidified long ago, obviously an old trace.

The entire ground seemed to have been deposited in blood for a long time until it dried up completely.

As soon as the picture came to mind, Le Yuan couldn't help but tremble.

Beside the courtyard wall, there were still some black iron utensils that looked like instruments of torture. They were stained and stained with blood, and Le Yuan also saw a few scraps of paper sticking to them.

What happened in this yard?

Mu Xuefeng squatted down again, found two keys from the dead paper figurine, took one for herself, and handed one to Le Yuan, saying, "It's safe here, you stay here, I'll go out and find a way .”

"Huh? I'm with you—"

The words that blurted out were stopped by Mu Xuefeng's eyes.In his eyes, there is an unprecedented resoluteness and decisiveness, with an unquestionable attitude.

"Yuanyuan, good boy, there is always someone to watch the house. My skills are good enough to deal with the situation in the city."

He looked at Yu Mengsong again, and his gentle voice just now suddenly became cold: "I can't trust Qinglian Sword Sect, and I can't trust you either. Even if I want to keep you here, I can't stay like this."

Mu Xuefeng picked up a bloody rope piled up in the yard.

"Wait, Fellow Daoist Mu, did we have some misunderstanding?" Yu Mengsong looked blank, "I'm about to cut into slices and put in the frying pan. Do you think I'm an insider?"

Ah this.

When Mu Xuefeng tied Yu Mengsong firmly with rope again, Le Yuan took a little time to tell him about the doubts about the elder of Qinglian Sword Sect.About why they entered this ghost town after the crash.

After listening, Yu Mengsong nodded: "That said, it's a bit suspicious. Well, let's tie it up for the time being, I'm too... I admit it too. Let me go after I can prove my innocence."

His face was full of confusion. After all, he was not an ordinary Jianzong disciple, but a respected elder.

"You Qinglian Sword Sect's Bigu Pill, I'm afraid it contains the poison of Sangong, so please take another one." Without further ado, Mu Xuefeng stuffed another yellow pill into his mouth, And gave the porcelain bottle to Leyuan.

"Stay here, just eat the small dried fish you brought with you, and just feed him this bottle of Bigu Pill, lest he starve to death."

"Meow." Le Yuan responded subconsciously, "What about you? I'll share half of the dried fish with you!"

"No, at least I have the Golden Core Realm, so I won't starve to death."

"No, no, no!"

Seeing that Mu Xuefeng turned around and was about to go out, Le Yuan quickly grabbed him, forcibly separated more than half of the dried fish in the paper bag, and stuffed it into his arms.

"Also, should we make a code? When you come back, knock on the door with the code, and I'll know it's you!"

"I have the key."

"What if I lose it?"

"...That's fine. If you knock on the door three times in a row, pause for a breath, and then knock twice, you'll know I'm back."

"Remember! Be careful when you go out." Le Yuan let go of his hand reluctantly.

He always felt that the owner should not be let out alone.But I also understand that it is not a problem to stay in this small courtyard all the time, it may become waiting for death... After losing spiritual power, I am not good at fists, feet or weapons, and will only become a burden to the owner when I am outside.

Waves of worry came to my mind uncontrollably.

"You must come back!"

Abandoning a cat is a great sin, understand?

"it is good."

Opening the gate of the courtyard a little, and sensing for a moment that the tiger demon that was chasing them was not lingering nearby, Mu Xuefeng stepped out.

Behind him, the courtyard door closed.

Mu Xuefeng clenched the sharp knife in his hand.Now his spiritual power is stagnant, and he can't control the Longyuan Sword and the Dragon Sparrow Knife at will, but this bone-eviscerating knife he snatched is unexpectedly smooth.

Perhaps it was because the blade was stained with a lot of blood.

Seeing the silhouettes of passersby hurrying past in the dense fog, Mu Xuefeng's eyes were as cold as ice.

Although the yard behind him was full of blood and looked miserable, it may not be the crime of the lantern bearer.

But he doesn't care.

In this ghost town, if every time someone kills, one point of strength can be recovered, then everyone except Yuanyuan can become the soul of the dead under his sword.

In Mu Xuefeng's heart, a hint of enlightenment rose.

This game was intended to kill him, or drive him crazy.

There is a hidden power in his body, which is possessed by the former self that he has forgotten.Whenever there is a desperate situation, it will explode.The consequence was that every time he erupted with that kind of power, he was getting closer and closer to the nightmare that lingered in his ears.

He was so close that when he closed his eyes, he could see countless ghosts demanding his life.

I may no longer be able to afford to kill indiscriminately.

But I was even more unwilling to become so weak that I couldn't even hold a knife!
