Qin Qingjian was hot on her waist, as if she was suppressing something, Xia Wushuang was startled, Lan Lu pressed her shoulder and yelled twice.

She just came back to her senses.

Its daybreak.

She left the bloodbathed village, looked for a direction casually, and walked over in a muddle-headed manner.

The village next door was moving when she heard the wind. When she arrived, she was already in a panic, all moving.

Xia Wushuang didn't need to ask to know what it was because of it. From a distance, he had already heard the noisy voices.

"Quickly-the tide of evil spirits is coming!"

"Where is this going to be moved..."

"Return to relatives..."

"..."

...The wave of evil spirits?

Was the one just called the tide of evil spirits?

The wave of evil ghosts began to appear after Xia Wushuang was locked up by Gu Peijiu, so although Xia Wushuang himself felt terrible, he didn't know what it was.

She stood at the entrance of the village and did not move. A man came out carrying a heavy burden. Xia Wushuang took a breath and pretended to know nothing and asked the man, "...What are you doing?"

The man was huge, with a look of flesh and blood, and vicious eyes. When he saw her blocking the way, he said in a vicious voice, "Help people move things!"

It turned out to be shoulder-to-shoulder.

Xia Wushuang led the two deer and smiled, "Oh, then... can I ask you something?"

The man put down the burden on his back, and there was a muffled "bang". It seemed that the contents inside were not light, and he said with a urn, "Ask."

Xia Wushuang was a little surprised, she thought this person wouldn't pay attention to herself.

The man said impatiently: "Are you asking or not?"

"Why are they moving?"

The man looked at her with a mentally retarded look, and his voice was not good, "The village in the east was hit by a wave of evil ghosts, and people can no longer live here. If you don't move, do you want to feed the ghosts?!"

Xia Wushuang hit the snake with the stick, and asked what he wanted to ask: "What is the tide of evil spirits?"

The man looked at her up and down, and suddenly asked, "Are you from overseas?"

This place is far away from Lingxi Peak, but very close to the sea, so it's no wonder that this shoulder will ask this question.

"...That's it."

The man now understands. Although his tone is not good, he doesn’t feel the same kind of ferociousness as he was just now. “No wonder you don’t know anything anymore. This wave of evil spirits appeared a month ago, and no one knows what it is. Things, but wherever they go, they are all pools of blood, and no one will be left alive."

A month ago...?

Xia Wushuang thought of the sights he saw yesterday, and felt a little sick in his stomach.

"It is said that the head of Lingxi Peak made the puppets without authorization. It is against the patriarchal ethics, that this punishment was imposed, and I don't know if it is true or not...:"

A layer of gray was cast on Xia Wushuang's face.

"Everyone said that anyway." The guy said this, a little confused, shook his head, and put the heavy burden on the ground back on his back: "I won't talk to you, and I have to move things away."

Xia Wushuang looked at the man who was leaving, and people left one after another. The villagers' faces were full of wind and frost, and a kind of confusion that they didn't know where they were ahead. No one took care of her.

She led the two blue deer and stood aside in a daze. While not letting herself stand in the way, she was also embarrassed not to know what to do.

...Is Gu Peijiu worried about this before?

The turmoil outside is already like this, why is she not willing to tell herself anything?

Xia Wushuang thought of the old man again. She took out the red talisman from her sleeve and poured spiritual power into it slightly.

In an instant, a brilliant golden pattern appeared on the red talisman, and a harmonious and serene breath came out, with an indescribable feeling of calmness.

As if the soul was comforted.

Xia Wushuang glanced at the red talisman in his hand, then glanced at the people who had been driven out by the evil spirits, and seemed to realize something.

She left the hustle and bustle of the small village and came to a slightly more prosperous town. She found a restaurant and sat down. She did not drink at the restaurant, but ordered a bowl of tea instead.

Xiao Er gave her a weird look when she was in tea. If her clothes were not for the finest silk, Xia Wushuang had no doubt that he would drive her out.

But she didn't care about these things a long time ago. After the tea came, she didn't move, just listened to the people around her.

Although the words of the people around cannot do without Lingxi Peak and the evil ghost tide, there are still some fresh news.

For example, the King of Chu had already captured the last small country, and he could ascend the throne and become the new emperor on the next day.

Another example is that a girl in red at Lingxi Peak fought with the first puppet under Xia Wu's hands.

"..."

Xia Wu shook his hands, and the water in the tea bowl almost floated out.

The clear tea is really clear tea. There is no root tea in it. She took a sip, put the bowl back, ordered a pot of good wine, and made a table with the person who was talking about it.

She took away the depression in her heart and smiled.

"It is said that when you meet, you are brothers... The little girl is not talented, and you can't be brothers with dear friends, but the wine is worthy of those who deserve to meet."

Xiao Er graciously brought the wine up.

Qianliang's fine wine, Xia Wushuang raised his eyes without blinking.

The people on the table looked like a gangster, with a face full of flesh and blood, but their personality was also refreshing. Seeing Xia Wushuang's slender figure, beautiful eyes and eagerness, the inner secrets are hidden, and he is a hidden master of the inner family. , And the shot was quick and neat, and when I came up, I ordered the most expensive wine in the restaurant, so I didn't have any bad thoughts, and they all said: "There are wine and beauty! Good!"

"Can't afford it, can't afford it." Xia Wushuang smiled, and after sharing the drinks with you, Fang said, "I just heard the brothers talk about Lingxi Peak... I don't know it happened again recently. What disaster?"

"Hey, it's not that Xia Wushuang." A somewhat thin man sighed.

Xia Wushuang is now used to hearing his name from others. She even smiled and asked: "What's wrong with her?"

"I won't talk about this evil spirit wave. It may not have anything to do with her. I don't believe in God's condemnation, but this person has played a good strategy for the King of Chu. After taking the world, it will be puppeted and turned into dead bones. It's really not a thought for anyone to leave!"

Xia Wushuang drank a sip of wine expressionlessly, which really wronged her, she didn't know at first...

Forget it, after all, she shouldn't take out things that are unsure.

Only then...

Thinking of King Chu's personal letter ten years ago, Xia Wushuang shook his head.

If it were King Chu, then she... probably would still do that.

A guy beside him smiled, "A hero comes out of troubled times, and Xia Wushuang is a capable person."

The thin people drank the wine, and sighed: "Really good wine-yes, there are many capable people in this world, but there is only one who dares to be born, and this is the only one in the world."

Another person said nonchalantly: "Heh."

I don’t know if I agree or deny it.

Another person said: "Lingxi Peak has been chaotic these days. I heard that the two people fought the flying sand and lost the world. It is estimated that there is no winner or loser."

Hearing that Xia Wushuang's heart raised up, "The two people are the two you just mentioned..."

"Yes, Gu Peijiu, Xia Wushuang's first puppet, with white clothes, and a little girl in red who are often by her side... I didn't expect that little girl, who is usually unknown, would fight so hard."

"Lingxi Peak is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger..."

"..."

They actually started fighting? Xia Wushuang "rubbed" to stand up, and the stool fell. Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at her, he held the stool up and sat down, "Sorry...I have always admired the one next to Xia Wushuang. Girl Gu Peijiu..."

The man who spoke at the beginning chuckled: "Normal, don't look at it as a puppet, but it's much more famous than everyone else. Gu Peijiu, white clothes and withered bones, who knows no one in this world? Don't mention the princes and nobles of Chang'an, they are just girls like you. , There are a lot of people who like her too."

Xia Wushuang was surprised. Only then did he realize that the other party called Gu Peijiu with the nickname: "Ah...withered bones in white clothes?"

No, Bai Yi can understand what Dry Bones is, it's too weird... No, Gu Peijiu, your beautiful girl, Dry Bones is too inappropriate, isn't it?

"This dry bone is named after her weapon. This girl once used a bone flute to command an army of 30,000 puppets. It is said that the enemy army was **** off overnight... There is also a joke, saying that the lord Xia Wushuang is still there. Sleeping in the bed, with white clothes and withered bones conquering thousands of miles of territory for the Chu army overnight, Xia Wushuang was taken back to the house without waking up, and when he woke up at Lingxi Peak, he thought he had a dream of expedition. What—hahaha, really interesting!"

Xia Wushuang: "..."

Is there such a thing? Nonsense!

Seeing the other party's vows, Xia Wushuang subconsciously recalled... a few years ago... a few years ago it seemed to have happened. That time, the King of Chu asked her to help attack a small country called Barbaric. She took Gu Peijiu and The puppet army ran across all the way, as if looking at the enemy's camp from outside, and seeing that the opponent had no plans to attack, he went back to sleep and planned to talk about it tomorrow.

After waking up, I was naturally at Lingxi Peak.

She stupidly asked the person next to her, "Hey, didn't we go to a barbaric war?"

The maid looked at her strangely: "...it's finished."

Xia Wushuang: "...how did you finish the fight?"

The maid pretended to be angry: "The other party is very despicable, and actually attacked at night!"

Xia Wushuang thought, night attack is too normal, night attack...night attack? !

Xia Wushuang was taken aback: "What then?"

The maid said: "I was crying by Chief Gu, and lost a thousand miles of territory. Don't worry, you can continue to sleep for a while, it's still early."

Xia Wushuang: "..."

Although it caused a certain psychological shadow on Xia Wushuang that time, ten years have passed, and there have been more battles, large and small...Of course, most of them were not experienced by her. She prefers to do some puppet research in the rear... Anyway, Xia Wushuang couldn't remember this little thing without thinking about it carefully.

The man saw her thinking hard, and said in amazement: "Have you never heard of this? Although it is a bit early, but it is true. In the past ten years, Xia Wushuang studied the puppets for countless times, and Gu Peijiu played on his behalf."

Xia Wushuang, who remembered what happened, said, "I believe, I believe..."

"But because no one knows what the name of the flute is, it's just a bone, so it was named Baiyi Withered Bones."

Xia Wushuang couldn't help but said, "That flute is called Baigumai."

The guy laughed, and Quan thought she was joking, "The girl is really a good name!"

Xia Wushuang: "..."

It's really called Bone Sorrow.

"I've been talking for a long time, I still don't know your girl's name." The man in Tsing Yi who just said "A hero in troubled times" asked her.

Xia Wushuang said depressed: "I don't have much reputation, you call me Shuang Wuhao."

System: "...Why don't you call Sanwu?"

Xia Wushuang: "That's you."

Knowing what she wanted to know, Xia Wushuang didn't want to waste any more time, she wanted to go back to Lingxi Peak to see the situation.

Su Cang was already at odds with Gu Peijiu. Gu Peijiu locked herself up before, but she wanted to come and caused Su Cang's dissatisfaction a long time ago. Now that Xia Wushuang is helpless when fighting like this, he is not surprised.

"Good name, good name." All the guys all laughed for a while, and Xia Wushuang asked, "I don't know where the brothers are going?"

She was looking for the reason for leaving, which was also casually asked.

"I heard that King Chu is going to ascend the throne in a few days, and we are going to Chang'an..." A man was talking, and the other winked at him, his eyes met, everything was silent, the man paused. With a smile, "Go to Chang'an to join in the fun."

"So...then you have to be careful on the road." Xia Wushuang was thinking about Lingxi Peak. Naturally, he didn't realize that their expressions were different. After being polite, he left the wine and drove away after the checkout.

She led two deer out of the town.

At the gate of the city, an old man in ragged clothes nestled in the corner, looking plain.

Xia Wushuang saw him at a glance. He simply led the two deer and looked at the porcelain bowl with a broken horn in front of the old man and the scattered dimes inside. He couldn't help but said, "Do people outside the world like to pretend to be poor? "

The blind old man said, "Naturally it can't compare to Xia's head in a big deal."

Xia Wushuang said, "I also ask you to go to the restaurant to have a little wine? You just tell me what you know, and don't tell me that all day long."

This old man was the blind old man Xia Wushuang had met before.

The old man shook his head, "The old man doesn't drink."

Xia Wushuang felt helpless, "Yes, then you can take your two deer away? It's not a problem that I always carry them."

Although there are a lot of strange people and things here, she walks around with two blue deer, which is still very eye-catching. Xia Wushuang always pays attention to low-key life and high-profile work.

The old man said, "I can't control the others, but you have to bring this deer."

Xia Wushuang laughed: "Is this still ruining me?"

The old man shook his head, "I am thinking about the common people."

Xia Wushuang: "...Alright, what is this deer breed? You can always talk about what it can do? I don't raise idle things at Lingxi Peak. Tell me how many catties it can pull?"

The old man was speechless.

But he said with a good temper, "The name of this deer is lost. It can lead the lost soul to the right path, and it can also suppress evil."

Xia Wushuang pointed at herself, unable to say anything, "...Where do I look like a lost soul?"

The old man said: "I can't see."

Xia Wushuang: "..." Okay.

"I know you want to ask me about the evil ghost tide." The old man paused and said, "I can tell you, but you must promise me that you will bring these two deer wherever you are."

Xia Wushuang: "I am a little embarrassed about your condition..."

She can't take two deer everywhere, can she? It's kind of weird to think about it.

The old man stopped talking.

Xia Wushuang, who wanted to ask this old man about the evil ghost tide, had no choice but to compromise: "All right, I promise you."

The old man said, "It is said in the world that the wave of evil spirits is because you, as a cultivator, intervened in the world without permission. Actually, it is not. Although you have been condemned by the heavens, you are not a wave of evil spirits."

Xia Wushuang looked at him confusedly: "...I was condemned by heaven? No, there is really a condemnation?"

Wasn't the scourge just a curse?

The old man said slowly: "Look, you're lost."

Xia Wushuang: "..."

"Although this is not your scourge, but there is still your cause. This should not be a scourge, to be precise, it is your cause and effect." The old man's voice became serious, "...the formation of a wave of evil spirits, you know What is it?"

Xia Wushuang said, "Of course it's a ghost."

The old man said, "It can be said that the tide of evil ghosts suddenly appeared overnight, and it bloodbathed several villages when they came up. It seems that there is no sign. Where are so many evil spirits that are not reincarnation come from this night?"

Xia Wushuang was not stupid. For a moment it seemed to be connected to something, but he was not very sure. His heart jumped slightly, "...Where did it come from?"

"You made those puppets." The old man's voice was faint, "I can tell you, without training, mortals will always be mortals. Therefore, their bodies will perish, and their souls will also die-if they are not reincarnated, so will their souls. To perish."

Xia Wushuang's pupils shrank slightly.

"The puppets you make can carry the soul. This is truly unique." The old man affirmed Xia Wushuang's craftsmanship, "but you overlooked one point. They are mortals."

"..." Xia Wushuang had a vaguely bad premonition, "So what?"

"The reason why people want to reincarnate is precisely because the strength of their souls can't keep them in the mortal world." The old man said, "When the soul has just worn away to the point where it can be reincarnated, it will leave the body and step into the six realms. In, through reincarnation, strengthen the astral power and allow them to continue to reincarnate.... This is why some babies can see ghosts, and they will gradually lose this power when they grow up."

"If the mortal soul stays in the world, everything in the world will continue to consume the power of the soul. Once they lose the best chance of reincarnation, after they cannot reincarnate, they will have two endings."

"The first is the soul flying away. The second is the power to incarnate evil spirits and swallow mortals to live and survive."

The old man said, "You let the souls of the dying person who should go to reincarnation die and come back to life on the puppet, which makes them directly lose the best opportunity of reincarnation."

Xia Wushuang stood there, for the first time, feeling at a loss.

"So, the desire to survive those broken souls turned them into evil spirits, a wave of evil spirits that swallowed human souls."

"...You changed the rules without authorization." The old man slowly patted the dust on his body, "but you have no way to create new rules."

"Think about it carefully, what everyone said is not wrong."

"People can't come back from death. If you do, then this is your damnation."

after a long time.

Xia Wushuang was so embarrassed, his fists in his sleeves were tightened and then loosened, repeated several times, and finally asked, "What should I do?"

The voice was calm, seemingly unwavering.

The old man said: "Are you asking me?"

Xia Wushuang nodded seriously, "Yes, I'm asking you, what should I do."

Even honorifics were used.

The old man sighed lightly, "Your existence was originally a mistake."

Xia Wushuang did not speak.

"But you don't have to blame yourself too much." The old man slowly said, "All of this is, in the final analysis, errors derived from mistakes."

Xia Wushuang said: "You mean, shouldn't I exist?"

The voice was flat, and no emotions could be heard.

The old man did not speak, but he was quite approving.

Xia Wushuang laughed instead, "...You said I was guilty, and I admit it, but I cannot agree with this sentence."

"I didn't have a choice when I came here, so I missed the mistake." Xia Wushuang's voice was faint, "It's been more than ten years, you came and told me that everything I did was wrong, and the consequences would be very sinful... It's okay."

"But." Xia Wushuang said, "You can't deny that I exist here."

The old man paused for a while, then smiled slightly, "I think you should ask me."

"I have asked you." Xia Wushuang said, "Because I am a person here, I will have emotions and desires, and I will feel guilty if I do something wrong, so I have to ask you-there is no way for the sins committed. Redeem, but at least I want to know how to make up for it later."

"If you can't even be sure of my existence, then no matter what I do, it's meaningless."

"I, Xia Wushuang, never do anything meaningless."

After listening, the old man remained silent for a long time.

"Never mind..."

"Puff."

Dull voice.

The old man was taken aback.

The man knelt before him.

"Please tell me what to do." Xia Wushuang's voice was faint, "I want to know how to get it back."

"..."

The aggressive girl just turned her face and knelt in front of him, and the old man couldn't react for a while.

"I admit my own existence, so I know the sins I committed." Xia Wushuang said, "The thing you do wrong is to do it wrong. If you say that I don't exist, doesn't it become an excuse for me to escape? ?"

The old man was speechless for a while.

"...Get up, after all, it wasn't your fault at the beginning."

"You tell me what to do." Xia Wushuang couldn't get up.

"...There is no way to solve this completely." The old man sighed, "but it can be suppressed."

"I'll tell you how to do it. As for how to do it, it's up to you..." The old man felt the repressive manic power of Xia Wushuang about to break through the shackles. He paused and said, "Is there any more energy left."

The two stray deer and the power of the soul on the sword are almost unable to suppress the disaster...

This God's condemnation is really terrifying.

Xia Wushuang said, "Speak up, I will definitely do it."

The old man then told her the method.

Xia Wushuang stood up after listening, took the deer, didn't say anything, and finally asked.

"Can I know who you are?"

The old man shook his head, "Old man, I'm just an anonymous priest. Even if you existed more than ten years ago, I swear not to ask about world affairs, so..."

Xia Wushuang knew what he wanted to say.

If this old man had never sworn an oath and was a born priest, she shouldn't have lived comfortably on this continent for more than ten years now.

There will be one more high priest who knows the heavens and the way of reincarnation on this continent, and there will be one less amazing puppet master.

He paused.

"So, now I only tell you what to do, it's not a birth.... After all, I didn't kill you back then, I regret it."

Xia Wushuang said: "That said, I also want to thank you for not killing."

The old priest shook his head, "You don't have to say anymore... If it's not for getting older and you can't do those things, I'll still kill you."

Xia Wushuang said seriously: "Then I have to thank you for not killing twice."

elder:"……"

Farewell to the old man, Xia Wushuang looked at the bright sky, but his mood was unprecedentedly heavy.

Long before she decided to help Chu Shi, she had already thought about facing all the possible consequences.

But I have never thought that these consequences will be so serious.

The scene of the village being hit by a wave of evil spirits is vivid.

Xia Wushuang thought of the old priest guarding at the entrance of the village yesterday, and laughed at himself.

The old priest thought that he would have to suffer a ghost in the village, so he was waiting for her there, for fear that she would just pass by and play the flute to attract her attention.

Now... No matter what you want to do, you must first go back to Lingxi Peak to take a look.

Xia Wushuang touched two deer, trying to show a kind smile, but couldn't laugh at all, and finally sighed, "Little dears, follow me home."
