"It's just that I'm still young and sometimes I can't control the dead bodies." Yan Yan looked innocent.
The villagers on the river bank heard this and were already planning to pack up and go home.
Soon, there were only a few people left by the river bank, and only the old man was still beside Yan Yan.
"It's okay, old man, I just want to take a look. I'm quite old, so it's my wish to see a dead body before I die."
"Then come with me." Yan Yan said.
If you want to watch it, then watch it as much as you can, but you understand that there is a price to pay for your wishes.
The old man had lived for so many years and was indeed well-informed. When he saw the dead body lying on the ground, there was no fear on his face at all.
"Can it move?" The old man squatted in front of the dead body and even wanted to touch it.
He was only looking at the dead body in front of him and didn't notice that no one behind him answered him. Just when he was about to touch the dead body, he placed something cold in front of his neck.
If he moved even a little further, the cold thing would cut his neck.
"Girl?"
"Guess why you guys live by the Yuan River, but you still don't know anything about Yuanxi." Yan Yan's faint voice sounded behind the old man.
The old man was so excited that he got goosebumps all over his body.
"So you are trying to trick people into pretending to be a dead body. Girl, do it. I'm not afraid of being a dead body." The old man closed his eyes and looked like he was waiting for Yan Yan to touch his neck.
"Old man, you can't make a dead body like this." Qingyu looked at the old man up and down and said seriously: "The bones in your body are not strong enough, your back is still stooped, and most importantly, your ears are not working well, so you'd better be buried in the ground."
Qing Yu has been following Yan Yu for a long time, and even her tone of voice is somewhat similar to hers. Now her views on life and death are almost as open-minded as Yan Yu's.
The old man's expression changed, as if he had eaten a sour orange.
Yan Yan continued Qing Yu's words: "Yes, I only want a tall dead body."
After that, Yan Yan asked a lot about Yuan Xi, but the old man still didn't know anything about it, so he let him go.
"Borrow a boat and we can row to Yuanxi by ourselves." Yan Yu said, "I don't believe that none of the families living by the river have a boat."
Taking advantage of the darkness, Yan Yu checked every house, but there really wasn't a boat.
Not even a bamboo raft.
"Go downstream and have a look." Bai Zhu suggested, "If there is no downstream, then this would be strange."
If that doesn't work, they really have no choice but to use dead bodies to make boats to get to Yuanxi.
As soon as they arrived at a village downstream, they saw officers and soldiers from the town surrounding them.
A woman came out from behind the officers and soldiers. She was Mrs. Zhang who was on the river bank yesterday.
"That's them. Old Li Tou went with them." Mrs. Zhang pointed at them.
Yan Yan raised his eyebrows: "No, that old man went home yesterday and didn't follow us. Do you think there is an old man among us?"
Bai Zhu looked at the circle of officers and soldiers with heavy eyes.
The officers and soldiers ignored Yan Yu's words, only listened to Mrs. Zhang's words, and wanted to escort them away.
The reason is that they killed Lao Li Tou.
Yan Yan searched for a boat all day and night, but he couldn't find one. Now he is being imprisoned in a cell.
Her violent temper could no longer be suppressed.
"There are no witnesses or material evidence. If they say they will imprison us, they will imprison us. Do you think we are easy to bully?" Yan Yan said angrily.
She is a woman, and she is not in the same cell as Bai Zhu and Qing Yu.
At this time, her voice was the only one in the whole cell. The other people in the cell were either lying down or sitting, and they didn't look like the perpetrators at all.
There was only a pile of weeds in the cell, and Yan Zi felt uncomfortable just sitting there.
As soon as she sat down against the wall, she suddenly felt someone looking at her.
There was only one small window in each cell, not much light came in, and candles were lit only in the area guarded by officers and soldiers in the entire cell.
Yan Yan was in the cell where it was dark in front of him and behind him.
But she could still detect where the visitor's gaze came from.
In front of her cell, there was a standing figure, standing in the darkness, and you couldn't even notice it unless you looked carefully.
Yan Yan can recognize the aura of others very clearly, especially those at the enemy level, even if they turn into ashes.
She didn't even need to look at the person standing outside the cell.
"Master Ling Huai?" Yan Yan narrowed his eyes, full of danger, "You are the one who imprisoned us here? You are really quite capable."
"No, no, I just happened to be passing by." Ling Huai, the old god, said in a calm voice.
Yan Yan stared at him: "Do we know each other?"
The ghost-suppressing tower has little effect on ordinary evil spirits. Only ghost kings with powerful ghost powers like Yan Yu will be afraid of the ghost-suppressing tower.
Now that I think about it, the original target of this demonic path may not have been Xu Niang, but her.
Ling Huai was silent for a moment, and just when Yan Yan thought the two really knew each other, he said, "No, we have never met."
"Then why are you targeting me?" Yan Yan asked.
Ling Huai was silent again, "I'm not targeting you. Do you really think the stronger the ghost power in you, the better?"
"It's none of your business." Yan Yan frowned.
Ling Huai shrugged: "Yes, it's none of my business, so everything is a coincidence. You don't have to ask me again."
"Then what are you doing here now?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows.
"The Xuanmen Yan family is looking for you."
Taoist Yan Jia...
Yan Yan was confused: "Why are you looking for me?"
She is a ghost king who has been dead for a thousand years and has nothing to do with the Yan family for a long time, although she did not look like the Yan family during her lifetime.
"With the Yan family's virtue, they must want to get some benefits from you." Ling Huai didn't know what he thought of and looked at her displeased, "Why has your ghost power increased again?"
Yan Yan saw that Master Ling Huai seemed to know a lot of things, so he told him what happened in the Wumen Courtyard in Yunze City.
After hearing this, Ling Huai opened his mouth and didn't know what to say to Yan Yan. In the end, he just said: "Everything that both humans and ghosts cannot ask for will happen to fall into your hands."
Whoever falls into the hands of that powerful ghost power will be controlled by the ghost power and become evil spirits with evil thoughts in their hearts. Only when it falls into the hands of Yan Yu, nothing will happen.
Yan Yan didn't bother to get those ghost powers. Her own ghost powers were much stronger than those in Wumen Courtyard.
But the expression on Ling Huai's face made her feel very strange.
It didn't sound like she was jealous, nor did she feel like she was lamenting her excellent luck. She vaguely felt that the demon was feeling pity for her.
mercy?
Why is this word related to her?
"Do you think the Yan family wants to get the ghost power in me?" Yan Yan thought for a moment and hesitated, "You would be so kind to remind me?"
Ling Huai shook his head: "I want the ghost power in you. I wish your ghost power would become stronger."
Yan Yan could understand all these words, but she couldn't figure out the underlying meaning.
What is the purpose of this demon talking so much?
"In short, be careful with the Yan family. You have fallen into the trap once before. Don't tell me that you want to fall into it again this time." Ling Huai suddenly looked at her with disgust, "I will definitely laugh at you then."
"You!" Yan Yan choked.
Master Ling Huai had already left the cell in a swaggering manner.
Yan Yan thought for a moment and finally didn't chase him out.
Speaking of which, the aura of this evil spirit was very similar to someone she knew during her lifetime.
But during her lifetime, that was all a thousand years ago.
That man was not a member of Taoism, nor was he a Taoist priest. He was just a small concierge, and he was quite stupid.
She couldn't even remember that person's name now, but it was just that he was the only person she had ever spent time with during her lifetime, so she couldn't forget his breath.
Except for their breath, the two people couldn't communicate with each other at all.
Yan Yan shook his head.
She probably thought too much.
After Master Ling Huai left, Yan Yu stayed in the cell for a while, but neither Bai Zhu nor Qing Yu came to see her.
She didn't care about the villain and decided to go find those two heartless people.
Before she could open the cell door, several more people came looking for her.
The three of them were wearing cloaks, covering their faces under the cloaks, and stood outside the door of Yan Yan's cell looking at her.
The other prisoners in the cell also looked at them strangely.
"Look, I'm going to charge you money." Yan Yan stood in front of the three of them with his hands on his waist.
"Elder, is she really the person we are looking for?" The person standing behind on the left pulled down the hat on his head, revealing a pretty face.
Although the girl's face was not as good as Yan Yu's, her delicate temperament was in sharp contrast to the cell. Even the dirt on the cell floor looked impressive when she stepped on it.
"Linghua." The man standing on the right warned the girl.
The girl glared at Yan Yan and put her hat back on.
"Are you Yan Yan?"
Standing in the middle, he seemed to have a high status, and the person called the elder spoke out.
Yan Yan didn't even think about it and said, "No."
A laugh came from under the cloak, "Then what is your name now?"
"What's your name?" Yan Yan looked at the three of them, "What are the names of you three?"
"The elder is asking you something!" the girl named Linghua said sternly.
"When I ask you what the elder is saying, do you have the right to interrupt?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows.
As an elder, her status is higher than that of his ancestors.
"you!"
"Linghua, don't be rude." The elder said sternly.
The girl snorted coldly and took two steps back, as if she didn't want to end the relationship with Yan Yan anymore.
Yan Yan looked at this girl who looked like a child with amusement.
"I am the eldest elder of the Xuanmen Yan family. I am here to welcome the eldest lady back home." As he said that, the eldest elder lifted up his clothes and knelt down in front of Yan Yan.
The man standing on the right was stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down.
The girl's face was full of shock. They only said they were looking for a girl, but they never expected that it was...the eldest lady of the Yan family?
Didn't the Yan family never keep female children?
"Linghua, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
The great elder's voice was so powerful and full of content that even if the girl didn't want to kneel down, she could only knock her knees heavily to the ground.
"You admitted the wrong person." Yan Yan waved his hand and said.
"I will not fail to recognize the eldest lady's beauty." the elder said.
After speaking for a long time, Yan Yan's voice was not heard, and the three of them knelt in the cell.
Until other prisoners in the cell told them that Yan Yan in front of them had disappeared.
Yan Linghua blushed, gritted her teeth and looked at the empty cell in front of her.
Yan Yan stomped their faces on the ground! Their ugly behavior was all seen by these rotten people in the cell.
"The eldest lady's skills are so terrifying." The man in the cloak said in shock.
The great elder stood up with a stern face. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "How could we invite her if she is of no use?"
"Then she's missing now..." The cloaked man hesitated.
"It's okay, just make sure it's really her." The great elder swept away the non-existent dust on his robe and suddenly waved his hand.
The strong smell of blood instantly emitted from the cell.
Yan Linghua raised the corner of her mouth and looked at the cell behind her. All the prisoners inside had their throats cut and died.
Yan Yan came to another cell and walked around but didn't see Bai Zhu and Qing Yu.
"Okay, run away and leave me in jail." Yan Yan gritted his teeth.
Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers appeared in the cell. Yan Yan flew to the roof and left along the big tree outside without even looking back.
As soon as I jumped onto a tree by the Yuan River, I saw Bai Zhu and Qing Yu also there.
Before she opened her mouth to speak, Qingyu said in surprise: "Ah, you are really here!"
"What?" Yan Yan looked confused.
"Mr. Bai said that we would wait for you here, but I didn't expect that we would actually wait for you."
Yan Yan paused and looked at him with cold eyes, "Since you knew you could wait for me here, why didn't you know I would be looking for you in the cell? You couldn't have taken me with you when you left?"
"I see you are chatting happily with others, how can we disturb you?" Bai Zhu said with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Qing Yu explained to Yan Yu that when they went to look for Yan Yu, they happened to encounter a man standing outside Yan Yu's cell. Seeing that Yan Yu was talking happily, Bai Zhu took him and waited on the bank of the Yuan River.
she.
"The dead body is still there, and it's getting late, so we'll go to Yuanxi with the dead body." Bai Zhu took out the soul-catching bell.
As soon as it got dark, Qingyu dragged the dead body into the Yuan River. Fortunately, the dead body was tall and powerful, so the three of them could stand on it without crowding.
The atmosphere between Bai Zhu and Yan Yan was very cold, so Qingyu had to stand between them.
Bai Zhu stood in front, and Yan Yu sat cross-legged at the back, facing the Yuan River.
The Yuan River is pitch black at night. Looking down, it looks like an abyss, making people want to jump in.
"Ah Yao, why are the Yan family looking for you?" Qingyu asked.
When he and Bai Zhu went to the cell to look for Yan Yan, they happened to be overheard by Qing Yu.
If it were other private matters, Qingyu would definitely not ask. It was just about the Yan family, so he had to ask clearly.
The Yan family has a high status in Xuanmen and is very powerful, but the same rumors are also very bad.
He is ruthless and can even kill himself as long as there is benefit.
The whole Xuanmen is very afraid of the Yan family.
"I don't know. I really have nothing to do with the Yan family. I just happen to have the surname Yan." Yan Yan lowered his head and stared at the bottom of the river.
"Then Ah Yao should stay away from the Yan family. They are looking for you because they must want to get something from you." Qingyu said in a deep voice, "If you get involved with the Yan family, you won't end up with a good end."
Yan Yan nodded indifferently.
She knows the virtues of the Yan family better than anyone else.
If she hadn't been blessed with great fortune, she would have been killed countless times by the Yan family.
"Is there gold in the water?" Bai Zhu said coldly.
Qingyu also noticed that Yan Yan had been looking at the river, as if he was trying to open a path in the river.
"Yes." Yan Yan turned to look at the two of them, "Shall we go down and fish for it?"
"You have to go on your own." Bai Zhu's expression was cold.
"Exactly." Yan Yan sneered coldly and told Qingyu to pay attention to her safety on the river. She jumped into the river with a sudden movement.
When she came to the Yuan River, she noticed something under the water, but she didn't feel any evil, so she didn't care.
But as we got to the middle of the river, we felt that there were more and more things under the water.
When she took a brief look at the river, she felt like there were countless pairs of eyes looking up at her from under the water.
When she first jumped into the river, Yan Yan didn't have time to open her eyes. After she adapted, she suddenly opened her eyes under the water and suddenly felt her scalp numb.
Under the dark river water, corpses stood one after another, with soaked gray skin and wide-open eyes.
Especially underwater, the body is floating like a piece of paper.
Yan Yan also knew why there were no boats in the village, and those boats were all at the feet of the corpses.
The body could not float, and the boat below sank.
Yan Yao shuttled between the floating corpses and observed them carefully.
They are all real corpses, this is not an illusion that Yan Yu suffered.
Seeing that the body couldn't float, Yan Yan bent down and swam underneath.
An iron chain was tied to the feet of the corpse, and an iron ball was tied under the iron chain. The iron ball hit the wooden boat, smashing several holes in the wooden boat.
No wonder these corpses look like they are standing under water.
The appearance of these corpses is almost the same as in life. It seems that they were thrown into the Yuan River recently.
They had seen graves in the village by the Yuan River, but they were not in the village. Since they were not in the village, they were only in Yuanxi.
Are these Yuanxi people?
Yan Yan swam around the corpses, and some of the floating corpses almost came face to face with her.
She couldn't see any difference between these Yuanxi people and others, but she just felt that there were too many corpses under the river.
They all die at about the same time, and too many people die at the same time.
Yan Yan remembered what she saw in the book of Yin and Yang.
I couldn't help but compare the corpses under the water with the dead people in the Yin and Yang Book.
It turned out that those people all died in the Yuan River.
Since there is a body...
Yan Yan wondered if he should take a look at the revolving door of corpses.
But there were too many corpses, and the revolving lantern shadows overlapped one another, so she might not be able to see them clearly.
…
Qingyu stood on the dead body, waiting for Yan Yan to come back, but she never came up.
The water of the Yuan River was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything when he looked into the water.
Suddenly, a ghostly force appeared in the water.
This familiar ghost power was immediately known to belong to Yan Yu. Qing Yu was worried about whether something had happened to Yan Yu when she heard Bai Zhu say: "You don't have to worry about her, no one in this world can hurt her."
Bai Zhu's words were very irresponsible, but after hearing this, Qingyu not only didn't want to refute, but even calmed down her worries.
It seems that even if something happens to Yan Jie, Bai Zhu will still be there.
This made Qingyu once again doubt that the man in front of him was not the Barbarian Saint Son who only made him feel dangerous.
Yan Yan was still curious, and the revolving door of these corpses was only in Yuanhe.
A phantom appeared on these corpses. At first, there were no corpses in the phantom.
Suddenly, a corpse jumped down from above, followed by a second and a third, falling into the Yuan River like dumplings.
But if you look carefully, you can see that they didn't jump down, but fell down from the chains on their feet.
When they fell, the people were already dead.
Yan Yan raised his head and looked at the water in surprise.
When the bodies were thrown down, there was a shadow of a wooden boat overhead, and she thought someone was throwing them off the wooden boat.
