Chapter 66 There are ghosts! (two in one)

The girl who claimed to be Qu Ying was obviously a little unhappy when she heard this.

"Qu He, they saved Bai Zhi's life, how can they say that!"

"Young patriarch, you have been in the tribe for many years, but you don't understand the dangers of the outside world."

The young man called Qu He had a concerned look on his face.

After saying that, he turned to look at the two Jiangnan, his expression full of doubts,
"Maybe Bai Zhi suddenly went mad, it was the ghosts of these two people who wanted to get close to the young patriarch and want to do something wrong!"

"Qu He!"

Qu Ying was really angry, her face puffed up: "If you do this again, don't follow me!"

Qu He's expression changed, he snorted and retreated into the crowd.

"Jiangnan, Qu He is like this, don't worry too much, he has no bad intentions."

Qu Ying smiled embarrassedly and apologized to the two.

Jiang Nan shook his head and said it was okay.

"Did you also go to the immortal's tomb?"

Qu Ying asked carelessly, "There are still two or three days to go, why don't we go together?"

Jiang Nan and Wang Chunyun looked at each other and nodded.

"Miss Qu, isn't the number given by the Three Holy Lands only two disciples per faction?"

Wang Chunyun looked at the large group of people behind her, and said with some doubts.

Qu Ying jumped lightly and landed behind the giant elephant Baizhi,
"There are really only two people, just me and Qu He, who is in the same line of sacrifice."

After a pause, she murmured,
"As for the others, my father said that I was stupid, and I was afraid that I would be deceived, so I asked them to take them with me."

"Actually, there is no chance to find it. I don't cultivate foreign objects, and I can't understand those too profound exercises. But my father said that since everyone from the Qijiang tribe has come, we have to come."

Qu Ying was lying on the back of the giant elephant, his two calves were swaying, and he held his cheeks with both hands and said:

"Dad also said that the people of the Qijiang tribe are smart, and we are not so smart, so they are going to do something, we just need to let them do it."

Jiangnan: "..."

The father and daughter both seem to have a deep understanding of themselves.

After chatting a few words, Qu Ying drove a giant elephant named Bai Zhi to return to the queue, and Jiang Nan and the others also followed by a white crane.

Not long after the giant elephants marched, they found a river bank to land.

First, because the night is approaching, the giant elephants who have been running around all night need to eat and rest.

The second is that Qu Ying also has to find out what went wrong with Angelica.

After landing, the Jiuli people quickly pitched their tents and started a fire.

He took out the beasts that he hunted casually in the daytime and roasted it.

Looking at their appearance, the information about the Jiuli tribe that he had seen appeared in Jiangnan's mind.

The Jiuli tribe is located in the sparsely populated southern wasteland, where the land is barren and wild animals are crisscrossed.

Therefore, the human beings in the Southern Wilderness mostly live in tribes and hunt for a living, and most of the cultivators are cultivating body tempering and beast-defense kung fu.

Qu Ying's Angelica is the imperial beast she has been with since childhood.

Another part is specializing in the magic of gu witch, and is very good at curses and poisons.

The Jiuli tribe belonged to the former, and the Qijiang tribe, which Qu Ying said obviously did not deal with them, was the latter.

After years of mutual expedition, these two rivals gradually stood out from many tribes and became one of the top tribes in the Southern Wilderness.

Although the existence of the first product has not yet been born, it is not as powerful as the one country, two temples and three holy places.

But it should not be underestimated.

Beside the roaring bonfire, the Jiuli people were busy, and Jiang Nan and Wang Chunyun sat on the edge.

Only then did Jiangnan have the opportunity to take out the red shadow flying out of the giant elephant's ear and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Brother Wang, this is what flew out of the giant elephant's ear when I stopped it from self-destructing. Can you recognize what kind of bug it is?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Chunyun was not surprised.

Because at that time, he also saw something flying out of the giant elephant's ear and was detained by Jiangnan.

I just didn't know what it was at the time.

At this time, looking at it, his face couldn't help but become weird.

I saw that it was a crimson worm the size of a grain of rice, shaped like a centipede.

Now, it has lost its vitality, and its luster is dim, and it looks like it is going to die.

"This thing should be called Scarlet Cloud Gu. It is the pinnacle of witchcraft. According to legend, it takes hundreds of thousands of Scarlet Cloud Worm larvae to kill each other, and the one that finally survives to adulthood can be called Scarlet Cloud Gu."

"This Gu can only occur once in a lifetime, and it can easily invade the sea of ​​consciousness of humans and beasts, making it a puppet. And there are not many who have the ability to refine this kind of Gu. The Qijiang tribe that Qu Ying mentioned should be one of them. one."

Wang Chunyun's face was solemn, and he said slowly:
"This kind of Gu worm is extremely terrifying. Even if a cultivator of the third or fourth rank is accidentally hit, most of them can only be at the mercy of their controller."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan's face froze.

The giant elephant Angelica, at most, looks like a sixth or seventh rank.

Take a precious one-time consumable like Scarlet Cloud Gu against a mount.

What wise man did this?
Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, this Scarlet Cloud Gu is not used to deal with giant elephants at all, but to harm Qu Ying.

The two looked at each other and both came to this conclusion.

"Brother Jiang, what are we going to do?"

Wang Chunyun took a look at the Scarlet Cloud Gu in Jiangnan's hands and asked.

Jiang Nan pondered for a moment before saying: "Remind that girl, and then leave tomorrow. After all, it's just a chance encounter, and it's inconvenient for us to participate in these conspiracies."

Wang Chunyun nodded in agreement.

Both of them were faintly aware that this Scarlet Cloud Gu was probably related to the open and secret struggle between the Jiuli tribe and the Qijiang tribe.

During the chat, several men of the Jiuli tribe, five big and three thick, came towards them, holding various foods in their hands.

The first one was young, but he was extremely tall, with dark skin and a heroic smile on his face.

"Two brothers, my name is Qu Xiong, Qu Ying's younger brother. If you didn't help today, not only Bai Zhi, but also my sister would be unpredictable."

He led a group of people to sit opposite Jiangnan, "Thank you for the Jiuli tribe, you are the forever brothers of the Jiuli tribe!"

The rough man laughed and said, "Come on, two brothers, eat meat!"

After all, the following clansmen took two steaming thigh meats and presented them to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan's eyes narrowed.

He heard Wang Chunyun say that this Jiuli tribe is particular about eating meat.

Thigh meat is generally eaten only by the elderly, those who have meritorious achievements, or those who lead the way.

Or people they think have to be respected will give each other the fattest leg meat when they eat.

The actions of Jiangnan and the others to rescue Bai Zhi have won the respect of many Jiuli people.

Jiang Nan took it, and then said: "It's just a little effort, Brother Qu, don't mind."

Wang Chunyun asked, "Brother Qu, you have come all the way from Jiuli, have you had conflicts with other people?"

Qu Xiong was stunned for a while before answering:

"No, we wanted to greet other people along the way, but as soon as we got close, they ran faster than rabbits!"

Wang Chunyun nodded, thinking that if you ride dozens of giant elephants to say hello, if you don't run far, there will be ghosts.

He asked again, "Then have you met people from the Qijiang tribe?"

When Qu Xiong heard about the Qijiang tribe, he had a look of disgust.
"No, no! If I really met them, I would have hammered their heads to pieces!"

When the words fell, Jiang Nan and Wang Chunyun looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

Things like Gu worms cannot be manipulated too far away.

Since the people of the Jiuli tribe have not been in contact with other people since their departure...

How did the Scarlet Cloud Gu climb into the giant elephant's ear?

"Hey! Don't talk about those disgusting guys, two brothers, come, come to the bonfire, let's be full of wine and meat!"

Qu Xiong didn't doubt Wang Chunyun's reason for asking these words at all, he stood up and invited the two to come over.

The two of Jiangnan did not refuse and walked towards the center of the bonfire.
.
Beside the bonfire, the heroic Jiuli people drank in big bowls, ate meat, and the rough noise lingered in their ears.

The two of Jiangnan sat aside, but they didn't feel noisy.

This group of young men said that one is one, and there is no city.

If possible, Jiangnan would rather hang out with these guys than deal with those scheming guys.

At this time, Qu Ying came outside.

When everyone set up camp, she had been by the riverside, communicating with the giant elephant Baizhi.

Looking at her face now, it is estimated that there is nothing to gain.

The problem was not resolved, and Qu Ying was not in the mood to make trouble with the clansmen. He sat down beside the Jiangnan two, resting his cheeks with both hands, and sighed.

To her, Angelica is not a mount, but more like a friend who accompanied her from childhood to adulthood.

Now Bai Zhi is out of control for unknown reasons and almost blew herself up.

Qu Ying's mood naturally couldn't get better.

Jiang Nan handed her a piece of meat and asked, "Miss Qu, do you have any eyebrows?"

Qu Ying shook her head in frustration: "No, Bai Zhi can't remember what happened when she lost control and went mad."

Sure enough.

Jiang Nan secretly said in his heart.

The reason why Scarlet Cloud Gu is insidious is because when it controls the host, the host's consciousness will completely fall into a coma, and he can't remember everything he did while being controlled.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Nan took out the Scarlet Cloud Gu from his sleeve,
"Miss Qu, you should recognize this, right? After Bai Zhi went mad, this one flew out of her ear."

Qu Ying was stunned for a moment, and after seeing what Jiang Nan was holding, her pretty little face was full of anger.

"Scarlet Cloud Gu... Qijiang Tribe..."

The Qijiang tribe is one of the few tribes that can refine Scarlet Cloud Gu, and it has been with the Jiuli tribe for generations.

Seeing Scarlet Cloud Gu's first glance, Qu Ying realized it.

Although her mind is slow, she is not stupid.

It must be the Qijiang tribe!

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Nan sighed slightly - this girl hated the Qijiang tribe with all her heart.

She didn't seem to have thought that after they came out of Jiuli, they had never contacted the people of the Qijiang tribe.

But even so, Scarlet Cloud Gu still appeared in Bai Zhi's ears.

Only one thing can be explained.

- There are ghosts!
.
When there was a lot of excitement around the bonfire, in a tent near the edge, Qu He's face was extremely ugly.

However, everyone was not surprised by his absence.

Qu He is a descendant of the Jiuli tribe. Their body shape is different from the rough Jiuli men, and they are also important positions in holding the sacrificial utensils and worshipping the gods. Naturally, they will not mess around with them.

At this moment, a light blue halo enveloped the entire tent space, and the noise outside was completely isolated.

Naturally, the sound inside the tent was also blocked from leaking out.

Qu He sat cross-legged, facing an ancient bronze mirror on the ground.

He put his hand on it, and the bronze mirror slowly emitted a halo, like rippling water.

Soon, a figure emerged from the bronze mirror.

The light was very dim, and the face could not be seen clearly, but it could be vaguely identified as a man.

The man in the bronze mirror made a voice: "Qu Zhuji, is it done?"

His voice was vaguely expectant.

Qu He looked ugly and shook his head: "No, I failed."

The voice of the man in the mirror sank, "Failure? How could it fail?"

"How can you fail that Scarlet Cloud Gu that the lord took a lot of effort to exchange?"

"Isn't the plan perfect? ​​You controlled Qu Ying's mount to self-destruct with Scarlet Cloud Gu, causing her to die."

"Then you won the inheritance of the patriarch and sold the Wushan mining rights to us."

"Even if the Scarlet Cloud Gu is exposed, it will only make the Qijiang tribe who are good at Gu cultivation take the blame."

"Such a thing that kills three birds with one stone is very thorough, how could you fail? How dare you fail?"

The voice of the man in the mirror was low, as if suppressing great anger.

Qu He's face also turned cold, and he said coldly:
"How do I know? The problem is probably your Scarlet Cloud Gu? You always said that the Scarlet Cloud Gu is mysterious and unpredictable, but now you are easily detained, causing me to lose all my achievements!"

"Impossible, there will be no problem with Scarlet Cloud Gu. Although the old guys from Tongbao Pavilion have a big appetite, they will never sell fakes to smash their own signs."

The person in the mirror asked again: "You said that the Chiyun Gu was detained? Who? Are there still people in your Jiuli tribe who cultivate Gu?"

Qu He's eyes showed a cold look: "Not from the Jiuli tribe, but from two cultivators from Daxia."

"Da Xia Cultivator?"

The person in the mirror frowned and paused for a while before saying, "Do they have the ability to detain the Scarlet Cloud Gu? This is a bit difficult..."

After a pause, he said again: "I still have a Scarlet Cloud Gu, but only if you can get rid of those two people, otherwise if they really have the ability to detain the Scarlet Cloud Gu, it will be in vain to try again."

Qu He also calmed down at this time, and said slowly:

"There should be no problem. Although the two are of the sixth rank, they came with an ordinary white crane. The origin should not be large, and the background should not be deep."

"I'll kill them tonight."
.
On the other side, in the center of Chu, outside the immortal tomb.

The towering attic with carved beams and paintings lingers with divine light is located.

It looks like a new building, with the signboard of "Tongbao Pavilion" hanging on it.

Tongbao Pavilion, one of the largest commercial organizations in the Shangyuan world, is said to have the shadow of six major forces behind it.

They not only sell and acquire all kinds of rare treasures, Taoist magic powers.

"Tongbaoling Tickets" were also issued as currency flows between practitioners.

Cultivating Taoism and fighting methods naturally requires spiritual stones mined in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.

There is a large amount of spirit stones, and even if there is a mustard seed Naxumi's instrument, it is inconvenient to carry around.

Therefore, the "Tongbao Spirit Ticket" came into being. Its function is equivalent to the silver ticket in the secular world.

After a long period of circulation, among the cultivators, the "Tongbao Spirit Ticket" has also become a currency in circulation, which has further stabilized the status of the Tongbao Pavilion.

And this attic where the tomb of the immortal was located was not there a month ago.

After the birth of the immortal tomb, the great power of Tongbao Pavilion built the earth with great supernatural powers, decorated it with ornaments, and built it.

There are dozens of attics like this around, and the function is for the cultivators who come here to rest and cultivate.

Of course, the price is not cheap.

At this moment, in the tallest attic, in a room filled with spiritual energy.

A young man wearing a Taoist robe sat cross-legged, his eyes were slightly closed, and there was a faint Tao around his body, which was extremely mysterious.

There was a knock on the door.

The man in the Taoist robe opened his eyes, and a mighty power overflowed from the opening and closing of his eyes.

A figure walked in from outside the door. If Qu He was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the person in the mirror.

The man in the mirror respectfully saluted the man in the Taoist robe, and slowly repeated the conversation with Qu He.

After listening to the Taoist robe man, he frowned slightly and said nothing.

Slowly, the suffocating pressure permeated the entire room, making the person in the mirror tremble and sweat dripping!
After a long time, the young man said,

"Qu He may not be able to get rid of the two sixth-rankers, you take them with you."

After that, he took out a small bronze bell from his arms and handed it to the person in the mirror.

The small bell is simple in shape and has an ancient atmosphere.

Although it is only the size of a fist, it is as heavy as a mountain.

The person in the mirror held it as a treasure, took it with both hands, bowed and saluted, and slowly exited the room.

The young man's voice of joy and anger came from his ears again,

"If you lose your hand again, the consequences...you know."

Suddenly, the person in the mirror seemed to remember something terrible and trembled.
