Looking at the black coffin under the locust tree, Mu Qingxiao's expression was normal. He walked to the locust tree and gently pushed open the lid, revealing a pale face.
Lying inside was a man. His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the sky, as if he had died with a grievance.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, their legs would have gone weak from fear.
"What dense Yin Qi. There's not a trace of Yang Qi left in the meridians. Has it been sucked dry by something?"
With that, Mu Qingxiao glanced at the top of Mount Bishan and looked at the old Village Chief. "Old Village Chief, can you tell me about Leisure Villa?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Village Chief's body trembled, his eyes filled with fear. "Leisure … Leisure Villa!"
That was decades ago. Mount Bishan used to be as prosperous as other places, not as isolated from the world as it was now.
The Leisure Villa at the top of Mount Bishan was a prestigious family. However, decades ago, all the men, women, and children in the villa were slaughtered.
Speaking of this, the old Village Chief sighed and recalled the past.
"Since then, all the villages around Mount Bishan moved away. Only the residents of Cuiping Village could not bear to leave. They could only build a village at the foot of the mountain. In the end, Mount Bishan became a mass grave and was gradually forgotten."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao was slightly stunned. If that was the case, why did the old Village Chief look so afraid?
"Old Village Chief, have you ever been to the mountain?"
The old Village Chief wanted to say something but hesitated. He had no choice but to reveal the truth.
"When I was young, I went there once and saw something bad. After I left the mountain, I fell seriously ill. Since then, I did not dare to go up and forbade the villagers from going up."
Of course, Mu Qingxiao knew what the old Village Chief was referring to.
Having a general understanding of the situation, Mu Qingxiao smiled and said, "Old Village Chief, don't worry. The village will soon return to how it was before."
"Thank you, Immortal."
Then, the old Village Chief said, "Immortal wants to go up the mountain, right? I'll send someone to lead the way for you. The hunters in the village are very familiar with this forest. "
"Alright."
...
...
"Immortal, the Leisure Manor is right in front of us. The village chief has instructed that we villagers are not allowed to go up, so we can only send you up to here."
Two figures stood on a dark mountain path. The one who spoke was a young man wearing clothes made of animal skin and carrying a long sword on his back. He was the son of a local hunter.
"Alright, you can go back."
The mountain path had long been covered by vegetation and thistles. There was no way to find it. With the hunter's son leading the way, it saved him a lot of time.
After the young man ran down the mountain without stopping, Mu Qingxiao turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.
According to his judgment, the young man who died in the village probably had something to do with the Leisure Villa on the mountain. There were many demons and ghosts there, and it was unusual.
Walking on the mountain path, the lush foliage of the trees made it extremely dark. The sunlight was unable to shine in at all. Moreover, the higher one went, the heavier the Yin Qi became.
Passing through the mountain path, they arrived at the peak of Mount Bishan. This was an extremely large piece of land. The entire mountain seemed to have been flattened by a sword.
Moreover, the entire mountain peak was shrouded in a strange haze.
Standing at the end of the path, what entered their eyes was a faintly discernible, dilapidated house.
The house had been battered by wind and rain. Some of the walls and houses had been washed away. The steps were covered in moss.
"This is …"
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao looked at the moss-covered steps. There were countless footprints on it. Just by glancing at the footprints, he roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
The footprints on the moss were clear. Recently, three men had been here. They matched the three men who died in Cuiping Village.
As for their motive, there was no need to investigate.
Looking around, the tall walls of the dilapidated house and the bare trees looked extremely strange due to the environment.
Retracting his gaze, Mu Qingxiao walked towards the interior of the Leisure Villa.
"Creak —"
The soft sound of the door opening was exceptionally clear in this quiet environment.
Pushing open the door, the courtyard was filled with weeds because no one had lived here for a long time. There was a path paved with stones in the center that led to the living room of the house.
The entire courtyard was filled with a desolate and eerie aura. From the decorations of the house, the Leisure Villa could be considered a wealthy family. It probably had a high status in the secular world.
When Mu Qingxiao walked into the courtyard, the door behind him silently closed.
The instant the door closed, a cold wind blew past. Accompanied by rustling sounds, balls of eerie green light appeared in the weeds in the courtyard.
"Wuuuu …"
Immediately, the entire courtyard was filled with the cawing of a crow. It sounded like crying and sorrow.
"Demons and monsters, you don't know what's good for you."
Mu Qingxiao sneered. He stopped in his tracks and glanced at the weeds. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying sword Qi swept out.
As the sword Qis swept out, the entire shrub was instantly devastated by the sword Qis. Shrill cries of agony rang out from the shrubs.
After killing a few wandering ghosts, Mu Qingxiao walked towards the living room of the courtyard, preparing to look for the female ghost, Ye Chenxiang.
As a child of the pugilistic world, Ye Chenxiang had a straightforward personality and did not care about trifles. At the same time, she was a spoiled young lady. After meeting Jin Lei, she was deeply in love with him. She even restrained her temper for him and became shy and timid.
After experiencing a change of heart and dying with resentment, the fiercest love turned into the most bone-piercing hatred. It lingered in the Leisure Villa.
Because of her great resentment, she could not ascend to heaven even after many years.
Mu Qingxiao was not interested in the female ghost. However, the other half of Yuheng was with the young lady of the Leisure Villa, Ye Chenxiang. If he could find her, he would be able to find Yuheng.
Following the stone path in the courtyard, he pushed open the door and arrived at the living room. A moldy smell immediately hit him in the face.
Standing at the door, he looked around. The decorations were still intact, but there was a thick layer of dust on the floor, tables, and chairs.
"Creak …"
Without hesitation, he stepped into the living room. The door behind him closed again. Mu Qingxiao's gaze focused. He did not know when, but a woman in a red dress had appeared in the corridor a few meters away.
The woman in the red dress was beautiful. Regardless of her dress or makeup, she was a lady of a noble family. The only flaw was her pale face.
Mu Qingxiao did not think that there was a living person here. He glanced at her and said, "Are you Ye Chenxiang?"
"Hahaha …"
The woman in the red dress covered her mouth and laughed softly. She said, "Young Master, am I beautiful?"
"… I'm not interested in female ghosts. Also, put away your Ghost Charm Technique."
As he spoke, a terrifying pressure swept out from his body, enveloping the entire living room, including the corridor.
