Ximen Chuuxue is not a considerate person, he didn't notice the change in Gu Anning's expression.

In fact, although Gu Anning was very nervous, she seemed to have heard nothing on the surface, without any emotional fluctuations.

Ximen Chuuxue continued, "Those two people seem to have come for Qiu Ding's soul. After I killed Qiu Ding, I couldn't see them anymore."

"Could it be the ghost of impermanence?" Although Lu Xiaofeng was asking Ximen Chuuxue, his eyes were on Gu Anning.

There is probably no one who understands the affairs of the underworld better than Gu Anning.

After seeing Gu Anning's indifferent expression, a sense of disobedience suddenly rose in Lu Xiaofeng's heart.

According to the character of taking care of An Ning, would this be the reaction after hearing such a thing?

He quickly suppressed the speculation in his heart.

Gu Anning is his friend, before there is absolute evidence, Lu Xiaofeng will not doubt any friend.He always has his own rhythm in doing things, and few people can lead his thinking astray.That's why Lu Xiaofeng was able to solve many conspiracies and keep the world in balance.

"Perhaps." Gu Anning said lightly, "The impermanent ghost is indeed responsible for seducing souls."

Ahead was the end of the maple forest, and the three of them stopped to rest for a while.

"People die every day in this world, and sometimes the two gangs clash, and countless people die. But there are only two black and white Wuchang ghost ghosts, don't they have to work day and night?" Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously.

"In addition to the impermanence of black and white, there are naturally other ghosts." After leaving the mission, Gu Anning was no longer affected by the emotions of ghosts, and brought back all the memories and yin energy obtained during the mission.

As a ghost of the underworld, the soul-hunting ghost knows a lot. "Among the top ten underworld commanders, Black and White Wuchang is responsible for seducing souls. Besides these four, Black and White Wuchang also has soul-hunting ghosts under his command."

"Have you seen many ghosts?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Not many." Gu Anning added in her heart: most of them are myself...

Standing in place for a while, the three of them strolled back.

Lu Xiaofeng is always the one who talks the most, "After Nan Wang was arrested, there were also rumors of ghosts. But I also heard a news that before Nan Wang went crazy, on the night of the Ghost Festival, there was a ghost in Ping Nan Wang's mansion." That incident seems to have something to do with Ye Gucheng, and something must have happened to make Ye Gucheng and Nan Wang part ways."

Gu Anning: "It can be seen that your popularity is very good."

If it is said that Ye Gucheng was a little bit short in all the seemingly irrelevant things, then Lu Xiaofeng seemed to know the major events happening in various places as if he had personally experienced them.

He was always running around, from high officials and dignitaries to street vendors, and there were always a few people who were his friends.

"Alas..." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed.

Considering how many times he heard the name "Ye Gucheng" today, both Gu Anning and Ximen Chuuxue knew why he sighed.

A swordsman like Ye Gucheng, once determined to do something, will not give up easily.

They didn't know what Ye Gucheng planned to get in the process of Nan Wang's rebellion, and they were even more uncertain about Ye Gucheng's private actions.

At this time, Ye Gucheng was no longer the peerless swordsman whom Ximen Chuuxue had known for a long time.He is only the master of one side, and he may also be the mastermind behind many events.

After walking around outside, Qiutang prepared the newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine after returning home.Gu Anning was first fed with medicine, and then ordered not to drink alcohol after drinking the medicine, feeling that she was cheated.

He held a glass of white water aggrievedly, and sat opposite Lu Xiaofeng.

Fortunately, Ximen Chuuxue was also drinking boiled water with him, otherwise it would have been too miserable.

Gu Anning asked Lu Xiaofeng, "Has the problem of Ghost Villa been solved?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "Originally, I asked Ximen to hunt me down, and then sneaked into the Ghost Villa. Everything went smoothly, but when I entered the Ghost Villa, I realized that the place was in chaos and out of the master's control."

Gu Anning nodded. Lu Xiaofeng said that there must be ghosts in the ghost villa.

Humans and ghosts co-exist, the daytime is the yang house, and the night is the yin house.Those who live in it will inevitably be affected.

"and after?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Later..."

Ye Lingfeng has a son and two daughters, all four of them are in the ghost villa.It's just that the three children are in the light, and Ye Lingfeng is hiding in the dark.

His son, Ye Guhong, admires Ximen Chuuxue very much, always wears the same white clothes as Ximen Chuuxue, and practices Ximen Chuuxue's sword skills.

His eldest daughter is Ye Xue, who is beautiful, generous, gentle and dignified.The youngest daughter is Ye Ling, she is eccentric and innocent.

But when Lu Xiaofeng lived in the ghost villa for a period of time and met Ye Lingfeng who had died long ago, he realized that Ye Xue was not actually Ye Lingfeng's daughter.

She is the child of the old swordsman, the owner of the Ghost Villa.

And the old knife handle is very likely to be from Wuzhong, but Lu Xiaofeng can't produce evidence, so he can only wait for him to make the next move.

The action of the old knife handle is stuck here.

The people he took in, without exception, were all well-known people in the Jianghu.

If you want to be famous, you have to prove your strength.During this process, there were not a few fights and killings, and the lives of people involved were not a few.

Who lives and who dies is just a matter of probability. If the boss hadn't rescued them, they would have already become real dead people.

But are all the people brought back by the old knife really alive?

Ye Lingfeng hid for so many years outside the ghost villa, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and allowed his enemies to raise his son and daughter.Will Ye Gucheng not know about ten years of planning?

"I don't think Ye Gucheng is that kind of person." Both Gu Anning and Lu Xiaofeng have seen Ye Gucheng, he doesn't know what Lu Xiaofeng thinks, he thinks that Ye Gucheng may do bad things, but it's not from his sincerity.

If it is said that Ye Gucheng and Ye Lingfeng have always been in contact and planned a big conspiracy, it is not impossible.But if it was because of Ye Lingfeng's personal grievances, Ye Gucheng would definitely not intervene.

"An Ning, you are so sure, those who don't know think you have really seen Ye Gucheng." Lu Xiaofeng changed his posture, still slack, his bones seemed to be soft, he picked up the flagon and filled another glass, "This wine is not bad, not inferior to the cellar of Wanmei Villa."

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him.

Gu Anning realized that he had said the wrong thing, was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Qiutang made the wine herself."

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The pain caused by the yin qi erodes his sanity, and it takes Gu Anning to devote all his energy to not reveal anything strange.Thinking about other things in her heart, Gu Anning's tone of voice changed obviously, which made Lu Xiaofeng startled.

Ximen Chuuxue knew medical skills, and when he looked up, he found that Gu Anning's complexion was really bad.He said lightly, "Stretch out your hand."

Gu Anning didn't know how to explain it, no one knew his body better than him.He didn't refute, he listened to Ximen Chuuxue's words, and put his wrist on the stone table.

Ximen Chuuxue's hands are very beautiful, slender and powerful, as white as jade, and there is a layer of calluses on the fingertips.

He put three fingers on Gu Anning's wrist, and frowned after a while.

"How is it?" Lu Xiaofeng knew that Ximen Chuuxue's medical skills were superb, better than ordinary doctors.For him to put on such an expression, it seems that Gu Anning's physical condition is not good.

"Due to loss of energy and blood." Ximen Chuuxue said.

Lu Xiaofeng, "Nothing else?"

Ximen Chuixue shook his head.

Gu Anning whispered, "It's not a big problem, I'm used to it."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at him with eyes full of disapproval.

Lu Xiaofeng also said, "You just recovered from your illness a few days ago, so you should be more careful. If you faint again, Mr. Gu might just throw me out of the house!"

"Okay." In fact, he felt a little sleepy after eating a full meal. He walked around the maple forest and exercised several times more than before.It is really exhausting to endure the torment of Yin Qi.

After apologizing to Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue, Qiutang sent Gu Anning back to her room.

She saw the movements between Gu An Ning and Ximen Chuuxue, and confirmed that Gu An Ning was fine several times, so she gave up the idea of ​​calling the doctor over.

After lying on the bed, the exhaustion of the limbs swept over him, and he lost his energy all of a sudden.He stretched his eyelids, and his voice was full of laziness and sleepiness.

"I heard that Ximen Chuuxue's medical skills are very good. Compared with our doctor, who is better in medical skills?" He didn't think about it at all. There are very few people who have been treated by Ximen Chuuxue, so Qiutang may not know clearly , How is Ximen Chuuxue's medical skills.

But Qiutang would always give him the answer, she said in a soft voice, "Doctor Zhang used to be an imperial physician in the palace, and he devoted himself to studying medicine for fifty years. No matter how talented Ximen Zhuangzhu is, he is young and has to be distracted." Practicing swords is probably better than our family's doctor."

"Doctor?"

"The Eldest Young Master went to ask for it in person. A few years ago, the Second Young Master was seriously ill. The Eldest Young Master..."

Gu Anning really wanted to hear about this old story, but he was really sleepy. Before he could get up his spirits, the system came out again to make trouble.

【Mission has been updated】

【Task object: Epidemic ghost】

[Task Reward: True Yuan*7]

[It will be transmitted in ten seconds, please be prepared...]

Fine.

Destined not to hear.

Gu Anning stopped struggling, relaxed her body and fell into a lethargic sleep.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he felt light on his body, and his posture changed from lying down to standing up.

He looked down at his right hand, and there was a bright red lantern on it.

Gu Anning looked up and looked around, the light was clear, it was obviously daytime.

It is very strange to carry lanterns in broad daylight.

He was standing on a muddy path, and the surrounding scenery was a mess after the storm.The rain didn't stop, and it fell to the ground, washing away the soil less and less, exposing the roots of the trees.

The lantern in Gu Anning's hand was not affected by the heavy rain.

The candle inside is firmly placed on the base, dutifully emitting a light that is not conspicuous in the daytime.

Apart from the lantern, there was not a single drop of water on Gu Anning's body.His shoes were as clean as ever, not stained by any mud or water.

If someone looked closely, they would find that although he had feet, he was floating without touching the ground.The rain didn't hit him either, they passed through Gu Anning's body and fell into the soil without hindrance.

After getting familiar with the surrounding environment, Gu Anning accepted the memory of the plague ghost.

It belongs to the same kind of ghost as the malaria ghost, and both exist to spread the disease.The malaria ghost looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, and the plague ghost is an adult. It can be seen from the appearance that the plague ghost is much stronger than the malaria ghost.

At least it is not afraid of popularity and does not need to laugh to spread the disease.

The plague ghost has a fair face, and there are men and women carrying lanterns.Gu Anning's task subject was wearing a long red dress, with no discernible style, and from its memory, he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

But it doesn't have much obsession.

Gu Anning's task is very simple, very similar to that of the ghost.

Its mission is to spread the plague. It has been raining intermittently for half a month. If there is no accident, there will still be no sunny days in the next few days.The most affected by the weather is the farmland. The crops will be drowned, and if there is no harvest for half a year, the village is not far from being destroyed.

Moreover, drought and flood disasters often come together with poverty and plague. Gu Anning's task is to leave the plague seeds in Yong'an County.

Just like the ghost who takes Qiu Ding's soul away, Qiu Ding's death will not be counted on him. After leaving behind the plague, even if his mission is completed, whether the people in the village live or die has nothing to do with him. .

Gu Anning held the lantern and walked towards the village expressionlessly.

The location where he appeared was not so coincidental, it was halfway up the mountain, not too close to the village below.

But the task is simple, Gu Anning has enough time to complete it, and is not in a hurry.

But before he walked out of the mountain, he met a group of people who stood in front of him with knives.

They wore coir raincoats and hats on their heads, and they looked the same.

The flat back of the knife was wet from the rain, and it looked as bright as new, and the blood on it had been washed away.

"Root! Hand over all the valuables!" One of them shouted angrily.

These people are all tall and big, even if they are covered by coir raincoats, it is not difficult to see the strong muscles underneath.The speaker's voice is so loud that it can be heard clearly even in the pouring rain.In comparison, Gu Anning, who is thin and slender, looks much weaker.

Gu Anning lowered his eyes, and suddenly smiled, his voice was soft and soft, sounding as indisputable as his appearance, "I only have this lamp, do you want it?"

"Damn it! Don't fool grandpa!" The other person stepped forward, his foot plate was very stable, and the muddy water splashed under his feet, "Skinned and tender, isn't she a bitch? If you can't get the money, just go Use yourself to pay for it! Our brothers have never done a loss-making business!"

Gu Anning tilted her head, "How?"

He did not deny his gender, and a group of robbers identified him as a girl. The bamboo hat covered their profligate eyes, and only laughter came through the sound of rain.

One person said, "Come here with the uncle, you will know in a while."

Although they said so, the robbers would not really let Gu Anning go by himself.

They circled behind Gu Anning, the heavy rain ruined their interest, but they didn't make a move, they just escorted him along the mountain road towards the mountain.

Gu Anning did not refuse, he held the lantern, as if giving up resistance, followed the robbers' footsteps, and let them take them up the mountain.

Not far away, a young man in brocade clothes appeared with an umbrella. His clothes were stained with muddy water, but he still had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

He is not alone, there is a beautiful girl under the oil-paper umbrella.

The girl was much shorter than him, so she was afraid of being splashed by the rain, so she stood very close to him.

"It seems that someone passed by just now." She said in Mandarin with a strong accent, and the ending sound was drawn out, which sounded a bit coquettish.Her voice is as sweet as her appearance, so even if the official language is not good, it sounds cute and won't make people feel uncomfortable.

"Such a rainy day, could it be that we lost our way in the mountains and forests like us?" Young Master Jin Yi asked.

"How about we catch up and have a look? Maybe it's a caravan. In that case, we can go down the mountain with them."

"it is good."

· "Why does the little lady carry a lantern in broad daylight?"

Gu An Ning showed softness, and the robbers were also willing to give him a good face.

After all, she is a well-proportioned beauty, and she is also a rare beauty who understands current affairs.This face is really imaginative, coupled with Gu Anning's face and gentle temperament, even if he stays in the cottage and marries him as his wife, the robbers are still willing.

Gu Anning raised his hand to touch the lantern, and said softly, "Because this is the only thing I have."

The men didn't notice that the candles inside were still burning, otherwise they would feel incredible, and then they would find more strange things about Gu Anning.

The pouring rain made their realization blurred. The mountain road was not easy to walk. The robbers focused more on their feet. No one noticed that Gu Anning was neat and tidy, and no one thought that he obviously did not hold an umbrella. , was dressed in red but was as dry as usual, and there was not a single drop of rain on her hair.

It's just that the rainwater is of course impossible to achieve this level, and Gu Anning even used a small blindfold.

"The only thing?" One person asked, "How could it be a lantern?"

Gu Anning said, "Because nothing else belongs to me, all I have is this lamp."

The robbers looked at each other, thinking that the girl was good-looking, but she was probably out of her mind.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that there was something wrong with Gu Anning's mind.

Where would an ordinary girl run around on a rainy day?And still carried a lantern and came to the mountains alone?

Judging by her temperament and attire, she doesn't look like she was born in an ordinary family at all, and she certainly didn't come from a small broken village at the foot of the mountain.She was probably the daughter of a wealthy family in the town, shut up in the backyard, and raised with rich clothes and fine food.

The robbers are not afraid of offending people at all, they are all desperadoes, they can live every day, and being happy is enough, how can they control so much!

A man squeezed to Gu Anning's side, afraid of scaring him, he thought he was gentle and considerate and lowered his voice, "My name is Wang Siye, I don't know the lady's name?"

Gu Anning still kept a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Plague ghost."

"Yigui? The name is really a mouthful." He read aloud, "Brothers, is there anyone with the surname Yi near us?"

"Where is this surname? Do you believe what she says? Be fascinated by beauty!" The others laughed at him.

Wang Siye shook his body, and a lot of rain fell off his coir raincoat, "Why do you always laugh? Are you not afraid of being caught by us?"

Gu Anning: "Why are you afraid?"

"We are not good people. You will feel better in the village!" Thinking of Gu Anning's fate, Wang Siye's eyes showed sympathy, but this sympathy was too little to cover up his inner desire, "If you If you want, I can intercede with my elder brother and ask him to let you go."

He was looking forward to Gu Anning's answer.

Gu Anning didn't react at all, with a smile on his lips, he looked at the lamp in his hand tenderly, as if there was nothing in this world that could compare to this lamp, even the big living man next to him who could run and laugh Nothing compares.

Wang Siye tore off his lamp, threw it on the muddy ground, and crushed the woven bamboo shell with his feet, "I...dammit talking to you!"

Gu Anning stopped in his tracks, and also restrained his smile, staring blankly at the lamp under his feet.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"The fourth brother made the little girl angry!"

The rest of the people made gloating voices, "Could it be because they have taken a fancy to him?"

"Don't talk nonsense, why don't you join in the fun! Hurry up and hurry! You don't think you've got enough water!" Wang Siye said.

The bandits continued to move forward, Wang Siye pushed Gu Anning, "Let's go!"

Gu Anning raised his head, his eye sockets turned red, a flash of sternness flashed past, he lowered his eyes, and smiled again.

Wang Siye said, "Why don't you just be my wife! I promise you won't be hungry! As long as you agree, I'll immediately plead with my elder brother and ask my brothers to let you go."

Gu Anning said softly, "But you broke my lantern."

"Isn't it just a broken lantern? When you get back to the village, you can have as many as you want!"

Gu Anning didn't speak any more.

Wang Siye continued talking non-stop.

Someone next to him elbowed him, "Fourth brother, this girl doesn't know how to be afraid, she probably has a problem with her brain, do you really plan to marry her as the fourth sister-in-law? You won't be serving her by then? It's enough to be happy. , When the time comes, wipe your neck and throw it to the back mountain, there will be no trouble at all! Don't worry."

Wang Siye snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The bandits walked slowly up the mountain. If they turned their heads, it would not be difficult to see a man and a woman following not far behind.

The girl frowned, "It looks like she's neither a villager nor a caravan. That sister in red was probably taken away. Fortunately, we followed!"

Young Master Jinyi said, "That's right."

The girl said, "Why don't you save that sister now?"

Young Master Jin Yi said leisurely, "Because we have been wandering around the mountains all afternoon, our stomachs are empty, and it is time to eat. The dry food on our bodies has long been softened by the rain, and it is difficult to live in the heavy rain in the mountains. You little food god, no matter what, you have to have a full meal."

"So you came up with this idea!" The little girl covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes rolled around, "Maybe you can find a few jars of wine from the bandits to appease the wine bug in your stomach! "

"You know me so well."

The two of them followed the bandit unhurriedly, and when they arrived at the place where the bandit stopped just now, the little girl picked up the squashed lantern in the dirt, "This one seems to belong to sister in red, she kept holding it Looking at this lamp, I should like it very much. How sad it must be to be stepped on like this now."
