Mr. Dugu closed the folding fan, tapped the palm of his hand and said, "Your Majesty also said that shortly after death, the soul gradually separates from the body before it is born. At this time, the soul is unconscious and easily damaged. No A few days ago, Tianchenzi forcibly activated the formation. If this formation needs to be maintained, it must continuously absorb the power of souls within the range of the formation. As the saying goes, "picking soft persimmons", the formation will definitely absorb the newly dead souls first, and then It is the soul of Miss Douzi who has died for a period of time, and when there are no more souls to absorb on this land, she will start to use the living people..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly lowered his voice, moved his body closer, and said with a light smile in the same clothes, "Sir, you and that Mr. Yanxi are both people with broken souls. If all the dead souls disappear, the first group will It is you who are affected."

Yi Qingchen pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "In other words, because Wuliang died and was very close to the center of the formation, his soul was absorbed by the formation just after he left his body? And Douzi died before the formation was activated. , the soul has its own consciousness, so it's not her turn to sacrifice yet?"

Mr. Dugu nodded, "That's exactly what it means."

Yi Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had gained a lot of knowledge. He used to think that he knew enough, enough to support him to finish his life safely, but now?The longer he has been involved with the Marrow Sect, the more he feels that his so-called experience is ridiculously shallow. Facing the current situation, his eyes are even darkened. If it weren't for the help of Mr. Dugu by his side, he really wouldn't Know how to go on.

After hearing all this, Douzi swayed, and suddenly sat down on the ground, desperately saying, "The great monk, he won't come back anymore?"

Yi Qingchen couldn't give a definite answer, but he had a guess, "If the formation is destroyed, it should be possible to save it..."

Mr. Dugu smiled lightly, "That's right, but before his soul is wiped out by the formation..."

Douzi reluctantly stood up, looked into the depths of Juexian Valley, and murmured, "I'll go find the big sister in black, she's been in the valley for so long, she will know the way... "After that, regardless of Yi Qingchen's obstruction, he went straight through the huge boulder blocking the road and ran straight into Juexian Valley.

Yi Qingchen's right hand froze in the air, and after a long while, he seemed to realize that he couldn't grasp anything at all, and then slowly retracted it.

Due to the huge boulders blocking the road, the Marrow Sect's guard on the entrance has been relaxed a lot compared to before. The ladder was initially built, and the assassins of the family took advantage of it to escape into the valley and quietly removed the entrance. Corpsemen standing guard on patrol.

The entire southward march was divided into two parts, and the team with the larger number obeyed Yu Mu's instructions and forcibly broke into Juesian Valley to open the way.The team with fewer people stayed outside the valley and was responsible for meeting the people in the valley. They waited until they joined the reinforcements heading to the southern border, and then entered the valley.

Lingshan, as a sect famous for its medical skills, was naturally arranged by Yu Mu to stay outside the valley to take care of the wounded. Shen Yi heard about this arrangement, and immediately asked Yu Mu to give an order to let Yi Qingchen stay with him. After thinking about it, Mr. Dugu smiled lightly, "You can give your order, but can you still find someone to take the order?"

Yu Mu immediately looked around, and realized that Yi Qingchen, who was sitting on the rock and resting, had disappeared, and she didn't know where she was hiding at the moment. Seeing this, Shen Yi said anxiously, "Young master, he is acting recklessly, too recklessly! No, I also want to follow up, I want to take care of the young master."

Shen Sheng pressed Shen Yi's shoulders and persuaded, "Don't mess around. With your ability, will you protect the young master or the young master will protect you? If the situation is critical, maybe Ruying will be involved to protect the two of you. Don't worry." Go and add to the chaos. If you are really worried, then I, the senior brother, should follow along. Your medical skills are superior to mine, so you can stay and take care of the wounded." After finishing speaking, he sighed helplessly, Looking at Yu Mu, he asked, "Is this arrangement okay? Shuai Yu."

Yu Mu nodded, withdrew his horse and turned around. Shen Sheng held his sword in his arms and thought for a moment, then turned to the Huazong team. When passing by a person, he said in a low voice, "I'm more reliable than Ayi, I won't drag you down, and I won't interfere with you, even if the situation ten years ago reappears, I won't be heartbroken..."

Yi Qingchen lightly touched the veil to confirm that it didn't fall off. She was a little surprised that Shen Sheng recognized herself through the veil, but she didn't investigate further, just chuckled, "...Thank you, Shen Sheng .”

Shen Sheng patted Yi Qingchen's shoulder and said with a wry smile, "When I was at Shuangjiang Peak, I borrowed money from you to buy a sword. I thought I could pay it off after paying the monthly money a month later. In the past year, the money has been rolled over, the money has been rolled over, and the interest has been paid off, so why should I thank you? My son, you are really too shrewd..."

Yi Qingchen smiled wryly for a while, and looked down at the sword in Shen Sheng's hand. The sword body was broken, and the hilt was still tied with the sword tassel given by Duanyue back then. He was reluctant to change it. Yi Qingchen looked at it for a while , smiled and said, "Now the sword is also broken. If I had known this, you shouldn't have borrowed this money from me."

Shen Sheng sneered, hugged his sword and said, "If I had known this, I would still borrow it."

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief, "To have a brother like you, this life is enough."

Shen Sheng patted Yi Qingchen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Same."

The two looked at each other and smiled, speechless for a long time.

Climbing the ladder and entering the valley, everything is smoother than imagined. The road at the entrance is quiet and humid, quiet and cold. The flowers and plants on the side of the road are all a strange dark green, and the dense vegetation is not very hidden. The obvious graves and torn corpses were blown by the wind, and it was as cold as late autumn.

Right now there is only one road, but once you pass the gourd mouth in front and enter the central area of ​​the circular ring, the road will extend in all directions, and each path corresponds to a different destination, so running around is definitely not acceptable.

Referring to the map of Juexian Valley, Yu Mu divided the team into five parts. The first team was responsible for going to the Lihen Palace where Duanyue Yeluo was located, the second team was responsible for going to the Liberty Palace where Jiang Jiuqu was, and the third team was going to the Changsheng Palace of the National Teacher. The fourth team went to the Palace of Freedom, and the last team led by Yu Mu went straight to the Palace of Wangqing.

Yi Qingchen is very clear that this arrangement will greatly weaken the strength of each team, but it is a last resort. After all, this arrangement can also disperse the pressure of the south march, and let each team hold back their own guardians and defeat them one by one. It's more realistic.Otherwise, if a swarm of swarms rushed into the valley and were directly surrounded by those guardians, the entire army might be wiped out before the Southward Marching Army could make a move.

Sect Master Hua, where Yi Qingchen was, was not suitable for direct confrontation, so he was arranged to go to the prison with Yanzong to save people, and the prison was next to Zizai Palace. It includes the Dugu family where Mr. Dugu lives.

After the arrangements were made, he marched towards the mouth of the gourd. Yi Qingchen was thinking about what he should do later, but he didn't notice that the large army stopped suddenly and bumped into the Huazong disciple in front. Yi Qingchen rubbed his head, and was about to apologize when he saw the people around him making silence gestures to him.

Yi Qingchen didn't know, so the kind Huazong disciple pointed him in the direction of the mouth of the gourd. Yi Qingchen looked up and found that the large army was already very close to the mouth of the gourd, but they were still at the upper and lower ends of the gourd. At the junction, there is a stone wall as a cover, so that the strength of the south marching army will not be exposed to the people at the top of the gourd. Similarly, the people behind the south marching army will not be able to perceive what happened at the top of the gourd, Yi Qingchen thought Thinking, asked softly, "What's going on in front?"

The Huazong disciple who kindly guided the way replied in a weaker voice, "There was a fight just now, Shuai Yu told us to stop and don't leave."

Fighting sound?Yi Qingchen was taken aback, and immediately stretched his neck, but still couldn't see anything, so he simply left the Huazong queue, walked near Yu Mu, stopped beside Shen Sheng, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ?”

Shen Sheng pulled Yi Qingchen to the side, and warned, "Be careful when stretching your head."

Yi Qingchen slightly poked his head out from behind the rock, and saw the two men colliding in mid-air, neither of them was willing to back down, but it could still be seen that the strength of the man in black was inferior to the man in white. The man in white withdrew his sword, and fell back on the cliff after being hit by the man in white.

Yi Qingchen immediately recognized the man in black as the national teacher, and the man in white was Murong Qian.

What made Yi Qingchen even more terrified was that Murong Qian was not wearing a mask, although his back was still facing the South Xingjun, but if he turned around, his identity would not be concealed.

Yi Qingchen was thinking about what to do, that guy, the national teacher said, "I don't know what is the intention of His Majesty Bu Mietian's sudden attack?"

Murong Qian said coldly, "You can't stay..."

The national teacher sneered, "We are both Dharma protectors and have worked together for many years. How could you say such cruel words?"

Murong Qian sneered and said, "It's ridiculous, you are a cold-blooded person who has the nerve to say such things? Leaving aside Douzi's death, where are you going to deceive Wuliang now?"

The national teacher said with a serious smile, "Why are you talking about cheating? It's clear that he himself doesn't want to live anymore, and by the way, he deliberately went to the south marching army to delay the time for the sake of the Sorcerer Cultists to escape. If he dies, what does it have to do with me?"

Murong Qiandao, "Sure enough, you tricked me into sending you to my death...... What about others now?"

The national teacher sneered, "I just went to see it, and I was killed by the people marching south."

Before the words fell, Yi Qingchen had already secretly thrown a stone, the stone hit the mountain wall, the sound was not loud, but it was enough to disturb the two people in the conversation, the national teacher immediately discovered the existence of the South Marching Army, and flung his sleeve robe back In the depths of Juexian Valley, Murong Qian turned his back to the crowd, took out the mask from his sleeve, and covered it on his face, then turned around unhurriedly, looked all over the crowd quietly, and finally fixed his gaze on There was a momentary change in the eyes of Yi Qingchen in the crowd, but before Yi Qingchen realized the meaning, he also fled.

It is clear that the two protectors are present, but none of them is willing to take the initiative to deal with the south marching army who sneaked into the Juexian Valley. As far as the conversation between Murong Qian and the national teacher was concerned, Yi Qingchen heard a few news.

First, Wu Liang had the intention of going to death, and choosing to fight the southward march was just to delay the evacuation of the Sorrow Cultists.Second, the degree of discord between the guardians is already visible to the naked eye. Murong Qian is on guard against the national teacher, and the national teacher wants to plot against other guardians. There is no trust in the entire Food Marrow Sect, and the guardians are on their own. Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

This kind of situation is great news for the Southward Marching Army. Everyone is excited about this news. Even Ruying, who has always been very serious, can't help showing a look of joy, but only Yi Qingchen knows The reason why the Marrow Sect has evolved into what it is today is all calculated by Murong Qian and Hua Shenchi.

The South Marching Army still proceeded according to the original plan, Yi Qingchen and Shen Sheng followed Huazong to the Zizai Palace.

As expected, just after arriving at the periphery of the Palace of Freedom, the ghosts suddenly appeared from the shadows. There are as many ghosts as there are shadows cast by the trees. They stand one after another, with strange shapes, and even blink The rhythm is exactly the same as that of tilting the head, just looking at it makes people shudder.

The Hua Sect disciple beside him swallowed, "This...this...do you still fight?"

"Fight!" As soon as the words fell, a group of south marching troops rushed up, fighting with the ghosts.

Hundreds of ghosts can be revived but humans cannot, so the more they fight in the South Xingjun, the more conservative they are. Fortunately, the killers raised by Dugu's family are very sharp. The fragrance of Huazong can replace medicine to a certain extent, and the disciples of Huazong also know something about it. Pharmacology, Yi Qingchen only needs to mention it a little bit, and he has learned the method of using fragrance to corrode the body of the corpse. With such cooperation, it took nearly [-] people's hands to barely deal with these ghosts.

Killing all the way to the prison, the killers of Dugu's family went in and searched around, and found that there was no living person in the prison.

Yi Qingchen stood at the gate of the prison, covering his nose, only to feel that he would spit out yesterday's food if he smelled the rancid smell overflowing from inside, the Huazong disciples' sense of smell was several times sharper than ordinary people's, and they were so As soon as I smoked, I immediately vomited continuously, and I vomited until the sky was dark.

But after all, it was on the battlefield, and there was no extra time for everyone to relax. Even if they vomited sour and had a headache, they had no choice but to carry on with their swords and continue walking.

Since there was no way to save anyone in the prison, everyone went straight to the Zizai Palace, intending to fight to the death with the ghost-faced gentleman.
