Xuanxia

Chapter 1021 Without delay
When Yuan Chen's men arrived at Fu Qingzhou's convoy, they were stunned by the scene in front of them and sat down on the ground in fear.

However, under the influence of Fu Qingzhou's curse, the man soon had no doubts. After all, this was the rebel army's territory, and so many people had died. He didn't dare to bother to clean up for fear of attracting attention. He could only pull Yuan Chen's body in a carriage and leave this place with Fu Qingzhou to find other teams.

"What?! Sister Qiuchan?!"

Behind the team disguised as the escort team, Tang Jiao's eyes widened and she grabbed Fu Qingzhou's wrist: "Is it really her?!"

"Not sure yet."

Fu Qingzhou frowned and whispered, "There's something fishy about this. More importantly, the ghost gives me a totally wrong feeling... You know the old ghost. Even a powerful being like the old ghost needs to be attached to something. I've also seen Biyun, the old ghost's former apprentice, in the Styx Valley. He also needs something to possess, but..."

He tapped his forehead and said, "How can this ghost who looks like Qiu Chan kill people everywhere without any evidence?"

Tang Jiao frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that some powerful ghost cultivator is manipulating her?"

"I suspected that, too."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "But I have already put the bead condensed from the soul into the Heavenly Eye. Now the soul fire is in my sea of ​​consciousness. I don't feel that it is connected to anything..."

Tang Jiao understood.

If that ghost shadow was controlled by some powerful ghost cultivator, then there must be a connection between the two. If Fu Qingzhou forcibly took it in, he would cut off the connection between the two, but he did not have this feeling.

This shows that this ghost shadow exists independently.

"So, brother, what are you going to do?"

Tang Jiao looked at the masters from noble families who were disguised as escorts and asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to continue this undercover plan?"

"Don't move for now. If there is someone behind this ghost that looks like Qiu Chan, they will definitely find me soon."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "What's more, if this ghost cultivator can find me accurately, then our hiding will be meaningless... Jiaojiao, I came to you to ask if there is anything that can help you among the magic weapons you brought from the mountain?"

"Let me think."

Tang Jiao lowered her head and pondered.

At this moment, the "escort" in front turned around and shouted, "Wangxian Pass is ahead! Let's rest here for a day!"

Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao's conversation was forced to interrupt, and the two looked at each other.

After passing Wangxian Pass, they will reach the border area of ​​Fuhe Province, which is also the front line of confrontation between the rebel army and the Xishuo army. They need to rest here for a while, wait for the people to come to pick them up, and work together to find a way to break through the encirclement of the rebel army.

In order to make their hiding more authentic, they did not say hello to the local righteous army marshal Hong Zhi before hiding. In other words, this time when Fu Qingzhou and others disguised themselves as masters of aristocratic families and entered Fuhe Province, they might really be hunted down by the righteous army during the process...

Fu Qingzhou is skilled enough and can chant the mantra, so he is naturally not afraid. But the other masters of the Xuan League certainly don't have this ability. On their side, they don't just need Fu Qingzhou alone, they need more people to lurk in key positions, and they will never give up on them.

"Brother, let me think about it carefully and we'll talk about it tonight." Tang Jiao whispered.

Fu Qingzhou nodded.

Their disguised escort team approached Wangxian Pass and soon saw a long queue at the city gate. Most of them were caravans and escort vehicles, and there were not many ordinary people. Obviously, ordinary people would not approach here.

The towers were guarded by rebel soldiers.

The inspection process went smoothly. These masters from aristocratic families had already figured out the route and prepared travel passes and expenses. They took Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao into Wangxian Pass. It seemed that it should not be difficult for other teams to come in.

But if you want to go west and leave the city, it would probably be a thousand times more difficult.

"Brother Tian."

An expert from an aristocratic family approached Fu Qingzhou and whispered, "We don't have a base here, so we can only stay in an inn temporarily. However, the rebels here come and go frequently, so we still have to be more careful."

"Well, don't worry, we can save it."

Fu Qingzhou responded, "I estimate that the others will be able to arrive tomorrow at the latest. Let's set a time and place to meet and discuss how to get to Fuhe Province."

After deciding the time and place for the meeting tomorrow with the master from the aristocratic family, Fu Qingzhou led Tang Jiao across the street and found a small inn to stay in. There were too many of them in their group and one inn definitely couldn't accommodate them all. Moreover, if too many people lived together, they would easily be caught if they were discovered, so they needed to live separately.

So, after settling down in the small inn, Tang Jiao knocked on Fu Qingzhou's door.

"Brother, I've got it." Her eyes lit up and she closed the door with her backhand. "Among the magic weapons left by Master, there is a jade talisman that is said to be able to calm all disturbances and make people calm as water... If it is really like what you said, that ghost is sometimes mad and sometimes struggling, will the jade talisman be useful to it?"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let's try it first."

He said, "If something goes wrong, stop immediately."

After saying that, he opened his third eye, and the breath of the Styx began to overflow from his third eye. The strong aura of death made Tang Jiao shudder and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Then, the tiny black ink bead that was collected into the Heavenly Eye yesterday flew out and hovered above Fu Qingzhou's palm.

After leaving the "River Styx", it obviously became uneasy again, trembling slightly, and showing signs of losing control.

Tang Jiao's pupils condensed slightly. She took out the Qiankun Ring from her arms and shook it. A jade talisman appeared in her hand.

"Brother, you have a higher level of cultivation, you come."

She handed the jade talisman to Fu Qingzhou: "It's not difficult. Just guide its consciousness to walk along the runes on the jade talisman a few times."

Fu Qingzhou responded and took the jade talisman.

He held a jade talisman in one hand and an ink bead in the other. Green light began to emanate from his body, wrapping the jade talisman and the ink bead together. The green light began to guide the soul consciousness on the ink bead to merge into the jade talisman, and began to accept the powerful soothing and calming meaning of the jade talisman.

Soon, Mozhu gradually calmed down and was no longer agitated.

"It works!" Tang Jiao's eyes lit up: "Brother, can you communicate with it now?"

"Let me try."

Fu Qingzhou closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into the ink bead.

But to his disappointment, the soul fire in the ink bead failed to establish any logical, systematic thinking, and there was no way to communicate at all. There were only strong emotions. At this time, it was affected by the jade talisman, and its emotions were relatively calm, but under the peaceful river there was still huge anger and madness.

"How could this be?"

Fu Qingzhou frowned: "This... this is not a complete soul at all? This is just a part of the soul?"

He opened his eyes, looked at Tang Jiao, and shook his head.

Tang Jiao's shoulders sank and she felt a little discouraged.

"But I do have some ideas."

Fu Qingzhou handed the jade talisman back to Tang Jiao, and put the ink bead back into the Heavenly Eye, muttering: "Perhaps, we need someone who understands ghost magic to know what this is and how to find clues."

"Understand ghost magic..."

Tang Jiao's eyes lit up again: "Brother, that maid you took in Beiyi! She understands!"

Naturally, Fu Qingzhou had already told her about his experiences in Northern Xinjiang.

Hearing this, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ayiguli is practicing the orthodox Styx Nine Transformations Divine Art, which is probably more orthodox than that so-called lord. Now that I have the power of the Styx to help her practice, she should be able to understand it."

"Then?" Tang Jiao realized something: "Brother, are you leaving now?"

"Jiaojiao, I can't wait."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "You know, lurking in the Yuan family can be done without me... But they can use the soul that looks like Qiu Chan to deal with me, they must know something, and they may even imprison her. Now that I know it, I can no longer sit idly by."

"understood."

Tang Jiao didn't say any more nonsense. Her eyes became firm: "Don't worry, big brother, leave the things here to me, you can go ahead."

She didn't ask about Fu Qingzhou's departure, how he lied to the masters of the aristocratic families, or how to break through the encirclement of the rebels... There was no need to let Fu Qingzhou make the decisions on such trivial matters.

Fu Qingzhou stood up, smiled and rubbed Tang Jiao's head gently, then pushed the door open and left.
