Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

As he finished speaking, the thing that was wriggling between his eyebrows finally broke through the skin and was fully revealed - it was an armored silkworm larva that had not yet grown a black shell.

"!!" Zhang Wan couldn't stand such an exciting scene, and went back into the talisman paper to shut herself up.

It's impossible for a person to become like this on his own.

Some people are using them to raise insects.

But who exactly is it...

Shen Qiao flicked her sleeves and turned around. Zhu Yu saw her walking in one direction with a clear goal. After walking about dozens of meters, she finally stopped in front of a tree. Then she used her spiritual power to slap the tree trunk with one palm. There was a sound of tree tendons breaking and tearing, and a corpse with the same posture was revealed inside.

After waiting for a few seconds, another white tapeworm crawled out of the corpse.

"There are at least hundreds of trees like this here."

Hundreds of trees, hundreds of people, and hundreds of armored silkworms.

Zhu Yu looked annoyed, "Xiyuan..."

Shen Qiao looked up at the body trapped in the tree trunk. As he looked, he heard a voice...

"it was all your fault……"

"It's you!"

"Why are you teaching us how to train insects...why!"

So noisy?

Shen Qiao frowned and felt a headache, so he subconsciously raised his hand and hit his head.

Zhu Yu noticed her movements, frowned and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

"When I touched the shadow before, I left a trace of spiritual power on it." Shen Qiao slowly exhaled and seemed to calm down.

"I was thinking... since my spiritual consciousness can't directly contact them, maybe I could use spiritual power to connect with them. Once I find their physical form, it would be convenient for me to perform some magic. But it seems I was too successful. I just had a telepathic connection with the person in front of me."

In order to train her control ability, Wang You taught her many magical skills, and now she can use them with ease.

Zhu Yu frowned silently, "Using spiritual power to connect and communicate with divine consciousness, aren't you afraid that the other party is already an evil spirit and will backfire on you?"

Shen Qiao smiled what he thought was a sincere smile, "Isn't my senior brother here?"

Looking at her fox-like smile, Zhu Yu felt complicated, but finally gave in, "Okay, you do it."

This means I promise to cover her up.

Shen Qiao relaxed, his mind focused, he formed a seal with his left hand, placed two fingers of his right hand on top of his left hand and chanted softly,

"Now, in my immortal body, I ask the wandering soul, hoping that the soul and spirit will be reunited and the body and spirit will be united."

After hearing this mantra, Zhu Yu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Although Yan Zun is omnipotent in all aspects, he is basically a spell practitioner. Because of this, Zhu Yu also learned a lot of spells from him. Unfortunately, he does not have talent in this area. He has only heard Yan Zun perform Shen Qiao's concentration technique.

Now it seems that Shen Qiao has indeed learned a lot from Immortal Master Wang You in the past three years.

Communication in the spiritual realm cannot be seen by outsiders, so Zhu Yu set his sights on these corpse trees.

According to the rules of various sects of immortality, if you see a corpse, you must bury it.

Judging from the time, the others should have encountered those shadows as well. Zhu Yu sent a message to Mu Jiu when the two of them came. Since they were free now anyway, they might as well dig all the corpses out of the trees.

While Zhu Yu was busy burning the tree, Shen Qiao was reasoning with the "ancestor" in front of him who was complaining about everything.

"You also know this evil magic, you are in cahoots with them!"

The person who said this was a rough uncle who looked to be in his thirties. But in fact, judging by appearance alone is not accurate. A person's soul usually appears when he thinks he looks the best. According to Shen Qiao's arithmetic, the man in front of him was in his fifties when he died.

"What you said is ridiculous. I'm so young and I know all that stuff. You're flattering me."

After hearing this, the man looked Shen Qiao up and down with a suspicious look, and finally, he seemed a little unsure and clicked his tongue a few times, "What you said... does make some sense."

"Then why did you recruit me?"

Finally we get to the point.

Shen Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly, "Do you still remember who sealed you here?"

She tried to ask calmly and sincerely. After all, some ghosts did not like to be told about the cause of death.

Fortunately, the man in front of him just scratched his head in dissatisfaction and didn't give up on Shen Qiao. "That happened over thirty years ago... What are you two doing?"

"We are here to look for someone and encountered these things when passing by here, so we wanted to ask if we can help you." Shen Qiao did not directly mention Xiyuan's affairs.

"Oh... I was just passing by." The man's expression eased a little.

"Since you are not in the same group as those people, I can talk to you about it."

Shen Qiao nodded, "Okay, you say."

The man sat down cross-legged, as if trying to calm himself. "We were originally residents living around this Broken Soul Slope. About thirty or forty years ago, there was a flood. The accumulated water soaked all the seedlings in the fields and rotted them. It was too late to plant anything. A group of us were on the verge of starvation."

"It was around... the end of the year when a group of people showed up from nowhere, bringing a ton of food on oxcarts! They also spread the word that if we agreed to one of their demands, every household would receive a portion of food, regardless of age or gender."

The man couldn't help but sigh at this. "These people came at the perfect time. Everyone was starving, so who cared what they were doing? As soon as they heard they could get food, they went there like crazy."

"Wow, a hundred or eighty people, a huge crowd gathered to get food. Not only did they not mind our presence, they were actually happy for us to go. They asked us to line up and gave each of us a bowl of water, saying that as long as we drank the water, we could get five kilograms of flour!"

The man couldn't help smacking his lips. "Five kilograms of white flour per person! How rare was white flour back then? Some of us had never eaten white flour in our entire lives."

Shen Qiao felt a little uncomfortable seeing him looking unsatisfied, "So...what happened next?"

"Later? Didn't everyone starve to death later?" The man said this subconsciously, but after he said it, he realized that he had gone off topic and brought the subject back.

"But a month later, our village suddenly started to be disgraced. First the young people in the village, then the children..."

The man smiled bitterly, his eyes reddened, and said, "My wife also passed away at that time."

Shen Qiao remained silent and did not interrupt.

"I only found out after I was arrested. In fact, the people who arrested us were the ones who released the food. If you ask us who they are and where they came from... it's really hard to say."

"But I remember when they started, someone seemed to say something..."

"'Your Highness.'"
