Chapter 108 Nine Faceless Ghosts
Chapter 108 Nine Faceless Ghosts
Shi Yanqing looked around the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Go back first, and make a long-term plan."
Xiao Rushi felt uneasy, and had no choice but to give up under the obstruction of several people.
After the four masters left, the crowd of onlookers also gradually dispersed, and gossip was bound to happen, but they didn't dare to blatantly ridicule something after what happened just now.
Shi Yanqing and the others discussed going back to Xiao Bai's residence to check again, but they were blocked by someone just after they walked not far.
Yaoguang was dressed in plain color, with no makeup on her face, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she said sincerely, "Let's talk."
Several people looked at each other, and finally Shi Yanqing nodded.
Not far away, Wen Junbai thanked Monk Putuo for asking him to send him back. He looked at the few people who were drifting away, his eyes suddenly turned to an unknown direction, and his face was thoughtful.
A few people went directly to Xiao Bai's residence. There were still shielding formations left on the walls around the place. Shi Yanqing tried to break it, but failed, and now it was just used for a secret conversation.
It's not that they trust Luuguang so much, but what Luuguang said just now can be regarded as speaking out of righteousness. Seeing her like that, maybe they can get some news from her.
Fluctlight, on the other hand, did know something.
Seeing the four people waiting for her to speak, she hesitated for a while before softly saying: "I think, I should know something about the reason."
Xiao Rushi was overjoyed, and the excited expression was shown on her face. She ignored the previous grievances with Yaoguang, and hurriedly said: "You know?! Then you know where senior brother is locked up?"
Wudao pressed her shoulder comfortingly, and said softly: "Don't worry."
Yaoguang shook his head: "I'm not sure about this either."
Shi Yanqing said: "Anyway, please tell us everything you know, Yanqing will be very grateful."
"No need to thank you very much," Yao Guang said, "Xiao Bai was wronged, I was also worried about him, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
She clenched her fingers unconsciously, and continued: "It all started when Bai Xu, the patriarch of Bailu Mountain, discovered his personal disciple Gu Qingyi was a demon cultivator ten years ago and put him to death."
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, but they had no impression of Gu Qingyi.
Shi Yantang said in a muffled voice: "I know him, brother, do you still remember the group of monsters we encountered in Bailu Mountain back then?" , until they met Xiao Bai and Lou Qi.As a result of that battle, Xiao Bai disappeared for a full ten years.
Although Shi Yantang had always been silent and simple-minded, the incident dealt a huge blow to him. He didn't say it, but it didn't mean he didn't remember it. On the contrary, he engraved the incident deeply in his mind, and kept Take this as a warning.
Shi Yanqing said: "You mean that Gu Qingyi? I remember that Bai Xu failed to catch him back then, but let him escape. What does this have to do with Xiao Bai?"
Yaoguang's fingertips turned white, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Bai directly, but after Gu Qingyi escaped, he has been investigating some things."
"Since you have been in Bailu for a while, you should know that at that time Baixiu, Sect Master Bai suddenly changed his mind and chased and killed monsters. As far as I know, Sect Master Bai, his body is exactly the same An elk, an authentic demon cultivator."
"Have you ever thought about what happened to make a person who is tolerant of monsters suddenly kill his own kind?"
Yaoguang didn't wait for their answer, her face was a little dignified, and she continued: "I don't understand the reason, but Gu Qingyi once said a word to me, he said: 'Baixiu is no longer the same as before. Baixiu, all he has left is the skin, and the soul inside has been occupied by monsters." Tsing Yi told me to be careful not to trust anyone, I didn't understand what it meant at that time, so I didn't take it to heart."
"Until later, my master... Yaoyue. Presumably you have also seen my current situation in Yaochi. Su Jinxiu will take my place at any time. I am already in danger in Yaochi."
There was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth: "I grew up next to Yaoyue, and my relationship with her is more suitable as a mother and daughter than a master-student. But suddenly one day, she seemed to have changed into a different person." People, inside and out, are no longer the way I am familiar with."
"No one is more familiar with everything about her than I am, but... her behavior, her habits, and her tone of voice are all like a stranger. I even wondered whether she was taken away by someone for a while. .”
Yaoguang's tone didn't fluctuate much, and he looked calm, but what he said made people break into a cold sweat.
She looked at the four of them, her eyes were dark, and said slowly: "I don't know about Kunlun and Putuo. As Kunlun disciples, you must be able to perceive something."
"Are you sure that the so-called Canghaisheng is really your gentle and loving head?!"
The four of them were startled, a chill suddenly rose from their backs, and their hairs were about to stand on end.
It seemed after a long time before Shi Yanqing said: "The matter of Bailu Mountain...how did you know?"
Yaoguang's eyes softened a little, and he said: "Ten years ago, Gu Qingyi was hunted down, and I saved him."
What she didn't say was that since then, she has been taking Gu Qingyi in and has formed a Taoist partner with him behind everyone's back.
Yaoguang originally wanted to tell Xiao Bai these things to make him be careful when he met him on the boat, but it was too mysterious, Xiao Bai might not believe her when she said it, and she hesitated for a long time before giving up.If she had known that this would be the result, she would have told Xiao Bai what to do at that time, and she would not be so regretful now.
This seems unbelievable and full of doubts, but the Shi family brothers think more. They have seen the scene of the faceless ghost peeling off the human skin and getting into it to become a living person in Bailu Mountain, and Kunlun has also appeared The faceless ghost group, the more they thought about it, the more creepy they felt.
Are the four masters really taken away?What is their purpose, where did they come from, why did they attack Xiao Bai...these few people don't know anything.
The atmosphere was deadly silent for a while.
Xiao Rushi gritted his teeth, squeezed his hands green and white, and said: "We must quickly rescue the senior brother." Wudao took her hand silently.
Shi Yanqing looked at Yaoguang sincerely and said: "Thank you, the four of us are very grateful." He paused, and continued: "If Ling Nu gets any news, please let us know."
Yaoguang nodded: "Of course, I also hope that Xiao Bai is fine."
She and Gu Qingyi are doomed not to declare their relationship openly and aboveboard. He has been pursuing these things, and she is worried.During this trip, Yaoguang originally planned to repay Yaoyue's kindness and quit Yaochi, and Gu Qingyi also promised her to hide in the mountains with her once the matter was over.
She didn't know what love was like when she was young, she had seen and heard the life-and-death relationship between Xiao Bai and Lou Qi, and she was deeply envious.Later she met Gu Qingyi and fell in love from then on, like moths to a flame, unable to escape.
But now, from the moment she wanted to save Xiao Bai, it showed that... she and Gu Qingyi were going to get involved in the vicissitudes of the world of cultivating immortals again, and they couldn't be alone.
-
Dark, still dark.
Drops of water dripped from the eaves and formed a small pool of water stains.Xiao Bai smelled the smell of decay, his nose moved, his broken hair stuck to his forehead, and his whole body felt a rusty dullness.
He tried to open his eyes, and a gleam of light slowly appeared in front of his eyes. After his eyes got used to it, Xiao Bai could see clearly the environment he was in.
This is a prison, closed everywhere, damp and smelly, he seems to be locked in a cage.Xiao Bai wasn't sure if he was still in the water, he could only tell from the water seeping down from the top of his head that this place should be a water prison.
Xiao Bai's head was still a little dizzy, his limbs were not tied up, and he could move freely in this prison.It's just that his whole body is weak now, and there is not even a trace of spiritual energy in his body.To be precise, the spiritual power was blocked by a barrier.
Xiao Bai gave up after trying a few times.
He called the system a few more times, but there was still no response in the sea of consciousness, Xiao Bai had a headache.
The door in the distance was opened with a "squeak" and someone came in.
Xiao Bai didn't move, he sat on the ground, his blue clothes turned gray, he didn't care about the mess on the ground, his eyes were calm and silent.
"Xiao, Bai." The visitor paused every word, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, with a big tongue, and his tone was very weird, which was extremely harsh to the ears.
Xiao Bai looked at the man's face, his expression unchanged: "Jiang Shudao."
Jiang Shudao grinned, his back arched slightly, and the black air rolling in his body rushed out excitedly.
He said, "I want your skin."
