The gurgling sound of the stream echoed crisply. Under the moon, two burly warriors wearing ghostly faces and painted armor were escorting a middle-aged villager to move forward quickly.

The village man accidentally stepped on a raised rock and slid a step, paused slightly, and the ghost-faced warrior immediately came from behind him: "Go away quickly! Don't be too slow!"

"Where are you going to take me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

He was kicked hard at the bend of his leg, and the village man cried out and almost fell to the ground. The two ghost-faced warriors were not polite, and they raised his arms from left to right and dragged him forward.

After dragging the village man forward for a few steps, the two ghost-faced warriors stopped at the same time, because a red talisman with strange fluorescence slowly fell from above and hanged in front of them.

A storm suddenly rose on the flat ground, and a red talisman roared in the wind. A green shadow turned over and fell in the air. The index finger and middle finger of the right hand were put together into a sword shape, and quickly stabbed the two ghost-faced warriors.

"Taishang True Fire, Jin Xie retreats to the demon, hurry up and as fast as the rule!" Accompanied by the sound of the mantra, the red talisman began to burn out from the center in front of Xia Qianyu, and the rotating red flames were emitted from her fingers and swept towards the faces of the two ghost-faced warriors.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two of them decisively let go of the village man who was so scared that his face was pale and dodged on both sides. But Xia Qianyu's Chi Yan seemed to have eyes, and immediately divided into two strands to pursue him.

One of them ran a little slower and was caught up by Chi Yan from behind. In an instant, his whole head was wrapped in the leaping flames. He screamed and then fell to the ground and rolled desperately.

The other man ran away without looking back and plunged into the stream of Blue and White Stream.

"Brother Huang, are you okay?" Xia Qianyu asked the village man who was slumped on the ground.

"No...it's okay."

Xia Qianyu wanted to ask why the two of them forced to take away an ordinary Yuanmeng Village village village village. They waved their hand and wiped out the talisman fire on the man who fell to the ground, walked forward and took off the charred ghost mask that had been burned.

She was suddenly stunned. There was no imagined human face under the mask, but a "head" carved from gold and stone.

"Yanjia Technique..." Xia Qianyu murmured, "These are not real people."

But judging from the performance of the man who escaped just now, the puppets driven by the armor-relieving technique are already very suitable for real humans in various actions. Is this the skillful person who created them, or is there any other reason?

Shaking his head, he didn't think about this for the time being. Xia Qianyu returned to the village man named Huang who had already stood up and said to him: "Brother Huang, go back quickly, everyone in his family is waiting for you."

"Miss Xia, you..."

"I have something to do, come back later." Xia Qianyu said, waved his hand and signaled him to leave quickly.

Looking at him running towards the village downstream of the stream, Xia Qianyu pondered thoughtfully for a while, then took out a talisman and held it in his hand. He turned his head and looked at a big tree not far away with his eyes: "Five gods, falling to the sky, driving away thunder and lightning, demons and evil spirits, urgently..."

"No, no, it's me, Miss Xia."

The treetops shook, and a man jumped down from above and fell in front of Xia Qianyu. After Xia Qianyu saw clearly that it was Yu Shiqi, he put away the talisman and continued to recite the spell.

"Why is the young master here?"

"I'm not very relieved, come and find you."

Xia Qianyu raised her right eyebrows: "Then you just stood by and watched the tree for a long time? Isn't that so worry?"

Yu Shiqi smiled: "I was not very relieved, but after I came, I felt that I was too at ease."

This is the truth. Before chasing him, he was still worried that Xia Qianyu would be a slut, but after seeing her fighting with the two ghost-faced warriors, Yu Shiqi gave up this idea.

"Is this man dead?" He suddenly remembered to check out the ghost-faced warrior who was knocked down by Xia Qianyu with talisman fire. After approaching, he also looked shocked on his face.

"Not a human." Xia Qianyu asked with a thoughtful look at him, "Does the young master know what this is?"

"Use metal and stone carving to form a human form, and the art of tilting armor." Yu Shiqi replied.

"You have a wide range of knowledge." Xia Qianyu smiled happily, and then said to him: "I saw that these Yanjia dolls wanted to take Brother Huang to the upper reaches of the Blue and White River water source before. I don't know if there is any secret there... No, there must be some secrets there. During the few days in Yuanmeng Village, I have heard many warnings about not going to the upper reaches of the Blue and White River stream. I think it must be related to these Yanjia dolls."

Yu Shiqi remained silent. He thought that he had just promised the woman to hide something from Xia Qianyu about King Mengzang, but at this time, he seemed to feel that there was no need for her after seeing her skills, so he was a little confused.

"I plan to go upstream to find out, young master, please go back by yourself." She said as she marched upstream along the stream.

Yu Shiqi followed: "I'll go too."

Xia Qianyu seemed to have no objection, and did not even look back at Yu Shiqi, and continued to move forward on his own.

Yu Shiqi did not take the initiative to talk to her, and remained silent all the way until he came to the strange Sifang Castle that the woman mentioned.

Blue and white stream was cut off by a wall and sluice gate of the castle. At this time, the direction of the sluice gate was making a harsh sound of mechanism chains running. A thick metal gate was lowered, completely blocking the water flow.

It seems that the owner of the castle already knew that his subordinates were being attacked by resistance. Is he planning to cut off the water source in Yuanmeng Village downstream to show punishment? Yu Shiqi frowned and thought.

"It's really outrageous! The water supply of the entire Yuanmeng Village depends on this stream. If the sluice gate is placed here, what should the villagers downstream do..." Xia Qianyu gritted his teeth.

Before Yu Shiqi could make a statement, he saw her quickly approaching the castle.

Lights were lit in the four corners of the castle, and a ghost-faced warrior could be seen vaguely shaking his head. When the two came to the city, they suddenly heard the sound of chains of the mechanisms again, and the closed door in front of them slowly opened.

Xia Qianyu and Yu Shiqi exchanged their gazes and walked towards the open door together.

The moment the two stepped into the castle, the door behind them closed, and the sound made was particularly violent in the quiet night.

The footsteps in front of him sounded, and countless ghost-faced warriors rushed towards them.

"Is this considered asking you to get into the trap?" Yu Shiqi shrugged and pulled out the autumn leaves behind him.

"Young Master, please step back a little." Xia Qianyu stretched out his arm with the talisman and signaled Yu Shiqi to avoid it for the time being.

Guessing that she might have to use the talisman method that was very similar to the secret technique, Yu Shiqi stepped back obediently, and the next moment he saw the golden talisman flying forward, burning it out in the air and emitting thousands of golden lights like sharp arrows.

Under the illumination of the golden light, the ghost-faced warriors who rushed towards them fell in rows like waves.
