At that time, Yu Changle randomly put this letter into his arms and didn't care about it anymore. He almost forgot about this book.

The sound of the book falling woke up Ao Yan who was sleeping on the other bed. He opened his eyes and looked at Yu Changle questioningly.

Yu Changle picked up the book and said, "I brought it out from the Peach Blossom Cave. Do you want to read it together?"

"Okay." Ao Yan paused.He got up and sat next to Yu Changle, his hair still a little messy.

The letter was placed between the two of them, and Yu Changle lit three floating lamp symbols.

"Ge Sheng" on the title page is the pseudonym of Mr. Bailu. The paper page has been yellowed, but it is well preserved.Yu Changle turned to the first page, and there was only one line written in ink on it:

Xiangxi, Chigui Town. The three characters "Red Ghost City" were circled with a red pen.

He paused.Is Red Ghost City a city-state?

A place that can be called a "city" is politically divided.At this time, Yu Changle began to recall Zhang Zihua's foresight, but he recalled it carefully, and there was no such name in the city-states with names and surnames in the world where he was punished for copying.

Yu Changle said: "Do you remember this name?"

"Not at all." Ao Yan said.

Yu Changle doesn't know much about Xiangxi, but he only knows that the culture there is different from that of the Central Plains, that there are alien races inhabiting it, and it is famous for its silver spirits and Gu poison.

There is no aristocratic family in that land boundary, but the ethnic group is used as the representative of power, and the exchange of information with the aristocratic family in the Central Plains is somewhat blocked.It is also normal that some city-states have not been included in the books.

Why did Mr. Bailu record such a place?

Yu Changle continued to scroll down, and a relatively large paragraph of text appeared on the second page.Judging from the format, this seems to be a travel note, the ink is a bit scribbled, maybe it was written down during the trip.

Its content is probably that Mr. Bailu heard the legend that someone in Xiangxi turned into a demon, so he went here to investigate.When I came to a Miao village called "Jiuwanshan", I heard from the locals that the legend originated from Chigui Town.

There are only a few sentences in the travel notes, but Mr. Bailu seems to have found no useful information. He only said that the Red Ghost City was very dangerous, and he didn't go deep.

--Danger?

Yu Changle raised his eyebrows, why would a city be described as "dangerous"?Is the ethnic group inside dangerous?

Move your eyes to the right, and a painting on the third page comes into view.

Mr. Bailu's painting skills are very good, as can be seen from the murals.But the painting in front of him is too abstract. It can only be seen that it is a tree with a bunch of fruits on it.

It is written in black ink that this is the ghost tree in Chigui City that the locals say, and it may be related to the transformation of demons.But no one has seen this tree with their own eyes, only the legend tells what it looks like.

Yu Changle thought in his heart that this is the case, the words are difficult to understand and there are only some specious descriptions, the tree that Mr. Bailu drew is just like this.

However, when he turned another page, he found that the paper was loose.After looking carefully, I found out that it was not. There was a page of paper caught behind the ghost tree, and the paper was very new.

Yu Changle picked up the page and stared at it.

There is also a tree drawn on the paper.The difference is that the tree is drawn in too much detail.

The painting in front of me is all drawn with a dark red vermilion brush. The shape of the tree is beautiful, but the most striking thing is the "fruit" on the tree:

It was a bunch of skeletons.

Numerous skeletons adorn the canopy, which is very gloomy and treacherous. There are vine-like plants twisting and coiling around it like snakes, bringing a strange sense of nausea.

Under the reflection of the faint burning lamp talisman, the skeletons outlined with cinnabar fine brushwork look as if they were painted with blood at first glance, very realistic.Yu Changle and Ao Yan were very close, shoulder to shoulder, even so, he still felt a little chilled.

Most of these skeletons are animal skulls, only a few are vaguely human skulls.Yu Changle has heard that some plants can eat insects and mice in turn, and these skeletons may be the remains of this tree eating.

Moreover, another type of handwriting appeared on this page, which was completely different from Mr. Bailu's, and it was a red comment.Yu Changle turned back and found that the cinnabar was the same as the cinnabar circled with the words "Red Ghost City".

Ao Yan said softly: "It's the one who stole the manuscript."

Yu Changle said: "The people behind the scenes."

The reason why Ge Sheng's handwriting appeared in Peach Blossom Cave was because it was stolen from a secret place.These comments should be left by the black hand behind the scenes.

In the upper right corner of the ghost tree, Zhubi also marked the name of the ghost tree: Skull Magnolia.And a simple introduction: bewitching people's hearts, can stop the soul and indulge in corpses.The only one in the world.

This "skeleton magnolia" should be the nameless sacred tree recorded by Mr. Bailu in the previous article.

The vermilion handwriting is very delicate and neat, and even the small characters are clearly written.If there is such a saying that "handwriting is like a person", the character of the owner of this handwriting should be more serious and self-denying.

This person can draw such a realistic skull magnolia, he must have seen that tree with his own eyes.

The next page of Skull Magnolia is some local customs and customs recorded by Mr. Bailu, highlighting that the local people and monsters get along differently than in the Central Plains, which is very harmonious, and expresses some longing feelings.

Other than that, there are no key clues.The scarlet letter never appeared again.

After the end of the Xiangxi chapter, there will be such short travel notes in the future, and there are many broken pages in it, which are obviously torn out by people.

The key content related to "how to convert" has been covered up, and the only commendable clue is the skeleton magnolia.

"Do you want to take a look?" Ao Yan looked away from the pages of the book and asked while leaning on the bed with his arms folded.

Yu Changle frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Go."

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the sky is vast and vast, without a trace of darkness, it is not like the world.Ao Yan said, "Who do you think?"

He didn't specifically refer to it, but Yu Changle knew that he was talking about the person who left behind Zhu Zhu.This person or the power of this person is behind the events so far.

In the Peach Blossom Cave, this person exposed the most clues, he can support an entire Peach Blossom Cave, his power support extends to the south of the Yangtze River, and he has received Jinguan under his command in Qingzhou in the north...

Besides Shen, who else can do it?

This conjecture made Yu Changle extremely uncomfortable, and Shen Minghua's smiling face came to mind, giving him a slight sense of guilt.

"If it's the Shen family, then why?" Yu Changle said, "What does he want to get by doing these things?"

Yu Changle said again: "Maybe it's the Taoist A who misled us. He and the behind-the-scenes are invisible to us and hidden in the dark. His identity is also very questionable. What is the motive?"

Ao Yan snuffed out the lamp-burning talisman, and said, "It's just a guess. It's very late, and we're leaving for Xiangxi tomorrow."

"...Where is Master Bai now? Taoist A should be in contact with him now... What if Master Bai was also deceived by him?" Yu Changle lay down, still talking.

Ao Yan: "Yes."

Yu Changle remembered another thing: "My Jianxia wine has just started brewing."

Ao Yan said: "Take it aboard. Go to sleep."

"It will take sixteen days before I can drink." Yu Changle turned over.

Ao Yan looked down at him, his eyes were still shining brightly even in the darkness: "I won't kiss you again."

Yu Changle: "..."

Yu Changle covered his face and said, "I'm asleep!"

Biluo Mountain, Shatang Town.

"Ah... today is a good weather." The proprietress opened the window and took a breath of fresh morning air. She was wearing a light pink skirt today.The begonias in the courtyard have all fallen, and the blue bricks are as clean as washing.

"Ding--"

The doorbell in the flowers rang, and the proprietress looked up, and it was the blue-clothed youth from before.

The young man nodded at her, and the proprietress also nodded with a smile.The young man in blue was still holding on to the door after entering, and turned his head.The proprietress showed a hint of surprise, and saw the young man in white who was held in his arms before walking in.

The long hair of the young man in white was tied up with an indigo ribbon. His appearance had not changed, but his spirit had completely changed.He was wearing a snow-colored round-neck gown with a straight collar, a blue dragon coiled around his shoulders, and long boots with arrow sleeves.

The gloomy and dead air left his brows and eyes, revealing the bright peaches and plums under the ice and snow.

"Miss Boss, please have a bowl of bean curd." The young man's voice was also jumping, and he sat down at the stone table with a smile in his eyes.

The proprietress smiled and replied: "Hey!"

"Are the guests leaving? When will they be back?" The proprietress said casually as she served the bean curd.But she soon realized that she was asking about the guests, and glanced at the young man in white.

The young man in white didn't feel offended, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of things to deal with, and we don't know when we will be able to return. It should take a long time."

At this moment, the proprietress really confirmed that the young man had "lived", and she was inexplicably relieved.She was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know what the guests call it?... When you come back, I will invite you to eat bean curd again."

"The proprietress, just call me... the dragon fisherman." The dragon fisherman paused, turned his head to look at the young man in blue, his eyes flashed a bit narrowly, "This is the little blue dragon."

Dragon Fisherman, Little Blue Dragon, what a strange name.The proprietress laughed.

After the two guests finished their breakfast, they said their goodbyes and left. The proprietress walked into the small courtyard and watched the two people's backs gradually disappear.She walked back to the back room, and the smile on the Buddha's lips in the altar was distant and peaceful.

The proprietress bowed to the Buddha and said silently: "May you have a smooth journey..."

The river sent the boat eastward all the way.

Yu Changle leaned against the window, propped his chin and looked out the window.He has a long sword in his hand, which is the Destroyer Sword, and there is a jar of Jianxia wine at his feet.

The water was emerald green, and the green hills on both sides of the bank faced each other. Yu Changle suddenly saw something and said, "Are we here?"

The boatman outside the cabin replied, "Yes."

The water here is shallow and slow, clear to the bottom, and buildings gradually appear in the mountains and trees on both sides.

The lower end of the building is submerged in the water and is made of fir wood and covered with black tiles.It is a typical stilted building.

It took Yu Changle and the others a lot of effort to get here, the boatman was also a local they found with great difficulty, he was of Miao-Han mixed race, his name was Ah Cheng.If it wasn't for Ah Cheng, they wouldn't be able to find this place so quickly.

When the boat docked, Yu Changle said, "I wonder if there are any taboos here?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Ah Cheng said, he has dark skin and handsome features, "In recent years, we have opened a Han academy in our village, and the Han came to teach. I also know your things."

"There is still an academy?" Yu Changle wondered, "Is it opened by the family?"

Ah Cheng said: "No way. I heard from the gentlemen that they are folk capable people called by a family from outside."

Ao Yan said to Yu Changle: "It's Shen Yan."

Yu Changle paused, and suddenly remembered what had happened.The Shen family is the first family, and Shen Yuanting has actually done a lot of things to benefit the people.

For example, the Lingyu civet cat prince who was at the gate of Jiezi City before, has been set up in many city-states in the past few years, so as to catch many vicious fugitives; another example is the matter of teaching extensively.

Not only poetry etiquette, but also spiritual practice, Shen Yuanting is willing to give alms among the people.But this move was resisted by many aristocratic families. As Ah Cheng said, it was not the children of the aristocratic family who were sent to "teach" at all, but casual cultivators recruited from the people were sent to Xiangxi.
