Liu Xuzhang took off his cloak and handed it to Jiang Xixi, "It's cold, you put it on first."

Jiang Xixi refused without thinking, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I am not that delicate."

Liu Xuzhang was a little anxious and forced his cloak to her shoulder, "At a young age, he has such a stubborn temper. If you are sick with freezing, Brother Cheng will not ask me."

Jiang Xixi smiled gratefully and no longer refused his kindness. After experiencing what had happened just now, she really needed such warmth to wrap herself tightly. She tied the strap of her cloak tightly and walked quickly towards the top of the mountain with Liu Xuting.

After the three of them sat down in the room, the Nine-Saving Girl ordered the disciple who served the tea to retreat. She looked at Liu Xuzhi and Jiang Xixi curiously, "The two officials suddenly visited my temple. I wonder what the hell is there?"

Jiang Xixi put down the cup in his hand, "Do you know Qin Ding?"

"He is a Taoist fellow with me, but I have never seen him before. I have heard others say, "Sir, what's wrong with him?"

"His nephew said that Qin Ding came to Sansuguan to find you half a month ago, but he has not returned yet, so we want to come here to find you and find out the whole story."

The Nine Sage Girl shook her head gently, "He has never been to Sansu Temple. I have never lived alone in this temple. If you don't believe it, you can ask my disciples for it clearly, but," she paused for a moment, "Half a month ago, the mountain was blocked with heavy snow. The mountain road was very difficult to walk. Will Qin Ding encounter danger on the mountain? Although the mountain is not high, it is very steep and there are many traps. On weekdays, I will give more advice to my disciples. In this way, I will be hurt. If there is heavy snow, it will be dangerous."

"In addition to the steep mountain, are there any other dangerous things on this mountain?" Jiang Xixi asked inadvertently.

"Is it a beast that sir? That's not. The most powerful one is just a roe deer, which can't eat people."

Jiang Xixi and Liu Xutang looked at each other, "Master Taoist, we want to look around in the contemplation, but I wonder if it will disturb Taoist purity?"

The Nine Sage Girl smiled and said, "You can see that the two officials are the ones who are pure and indifferent. What does it have to do with the environment?"

When the last side room was checked, the sun was already west. Liu Xuting and Jiang Xixi looked at the people sitting in the setting sun, and their hearts were also infected by the solemnity and calmness, and became peaceful.

"Sir Liu, what doubts have you found?"

"There is no alchemy furnace or poisonous snake with teeth drawn. There is no similarity to Changle Palace. And you see the nine wise daughters. She is not yet fifteen years ago and was only considered a child a few years ago. So I judge that the matter in Changle Palace has nothing to do with her."

Jiang Xixi nodded, "I also think this person is not suspicious. I just asked her several disciples, and they all knew nothing about Qin Ding's affairs. They also said that he had never visited Sansuguan. It seems that they were not lying. So, Qin Ding must have encountered a monster on the way up the mountain, but where is his body? Could it be that he was swallowed?"

The two walked out of the yard while chatting, and a disciple followed behind to see them out. Jiang Xixi turned around and said goodbye, but was stunned when he saw the man's face.

She had never seen this man before, but his eyes made her feel very panicked, not her eyes or appearance, but something hidden behind her eyes.

Jiang Xixi was dragged out of the yard by Liu Xuzhang, "Do you know that little Taoist priest just now? Why are you staring at people like that?"

"What's his name?"

"The Nine Wise Girls Call him Yuan Qing."

Jiang Xixi shook her head, "I have never seen him, but I feel familiar, very strange." She looked behind her, and the mottled wall of Sansuguan gradually disappeared in the twilight and turned into a dark shadow. Several crows flew from the forest to the wall, making a strange scream.

"Yuanqing, where is the rice placed? Yuanqing, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Zhang shouted several times behind him, but Yuanqing seemed to have not heard it. He stood in front of the stove, holding the knife and lifted his right hand in the air.

Chengzhang walked over, but was frightened by the thing on the chopping board. It was half a finger, which had just been chopped off by Yuan Qing, and was lying in a pool of blood, with a pool of red brightly.

"You are injured, so I won't say anything." Cheng Zhang quickly ran out of the kitchen and worked with several brothers. After a long time, he helped Yuan Qing stop the blood and bandaged the wound. After the matter was done, he helped Yuan Qing back to the room. Along the way, Yuan Qing was speechless, or to say that, from the moment his fingers were chopped off, he didn't say a word, and didn't even shout a pain.

Cheng Zhang mixed Yuan Qing to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Do you have any worries? I have felt that you are absent-minded since the beginning."

Yuan Qing shook his head silently, still saying nothing.

Seeing this, Chengzhang had to stand up and walk outside the house. As soon as he took two steps, he heard Yuan Qing whispering behind him, "What's wrong, what's wrong"

Chengzhang turned back, "What's wrong? Yuan Qing, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Qing suddenly raised his head, the light coming out of his eyes was a little scary. He grabbed Cheng Zhang's cuffs, "I've felt it long ago. From that day on, everything was wrong. I was not interested in anything, too lazy to eat, or move. By the way, I still dreamed all night long. I rarely dreamed. There was a man in my dream. I pushed him into the snow pit, stripped off his clothes, and...and..."

Chengzhang sat down next to him, "Dreams are all fake, don't worry about it, but do you think that day? Which day was that day?"

"Just guard"

The door was gently pushed open, and the expressionless face of the Nine-Shengwoman appeared between the cracks of the door, "They said you were injured, I'll take a look," Her petite body squeezed into the cracks of the door and slowly came to the edge of the bed, "Yuan Qing, are you okay?"

Although he was not next to each other, Cheng Zhang obviously felt Yuan Qing's body trembling. He quickly climbed onto the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt. "Master, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

"It's fine if it's okay," Jiuxianwoman glanced at Cheng Zhang, "Let's go, don't disturb Yuanqing's rest."

Chengzhang responded and followed the Nine Xiannv toward the door. Before leaving the door, he looked back at Yuan Qing and found that he covered his whole body tightly with a quilt, and his body was shaking violently.

That night, the Nine Sage Girl walked out of the back door of Sansuguan alone. After about a quarter of an hour, she stopped, waved the whisk forward, and a small house appeared from the darkness. Under the moonlight, there was a faint green light, like a deserted grave.

She pushed the door and walked in. She saw that her legs had been waiting inside for a long time. The Nine Sage Girl threw the two wooden boxes she brought with her. The boxes opened as soon as they landed on the ground, and the silver notes inside spilled all over the floor.
