Chapter 235 Downhill

"Thank you, thank you, Heqing-kun." After receiving an affirmative answer, Hinata Fukaha thanked excitedly.

"But before that, we need to thoroughly investigate the Youzhi Palace to find out what is using your dream to put the lure here into a box." Yu, looking at her pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through the deepest secret of the heart, said seriously.

"...En." Chu Xiao Shenyu was silent - although she was indeed more anxious to find her mother now, but since Qin Heqing said so for her own affairs and safety, she couldn't object to anything.

What's more, she is really curious about who is inducing her.

So I didn't hesitate too much, and after thinking for a while, I nodded and agreed.

Immediately, the group of three people and one elf stopped staying in the underground palace, and moved to the main hall above along the original road...

But he didn't go far, and was attacked by the wraiths in the Palace of the Nether again.

And this time, the vengeful spirit is not a witch, but a priest wearing a red robe, which is one level higher than Qin Heqing, the priest. launched an attack.

"A ghost of the fire element... Then it seems that the lanterns in the main hall are all maintained by him. No wonder they can burn forever, even if no one takes care of them, there will be no damage or loss." Because they maintain enough advantages , Qin Heqing, who was more and more indifferent to the battle, still had a leisurely daydream.

Not surprisingly, the resentful spirit of the priest was suppressed and collected under the attack of Yue'er, who practiced various application skills of Wanye Feihualiu, and became one of Rishangshan's gains.

"continue."

Then Qin Heqing and others continued to move. And because Hinako Fukaha had been rescued, he began to take the time to observe the details of the passing rooms, looking for any abnormalities that might exist.

Not to mention, they really found a lot.

For example, an old and damaged notebook left by someone...

And there are more than one book, so that Qin Heqing, Yue'er, and Ayukawa, who met together later, learned a lot about the legends in Rishang Mountain.

For example, the so-called eternal flowers are not real flowers, but women who are immersed in the night spring and serve as pillars. Because of the influence of a certain ritual, they were able to rely on the power of Yequan to keep their bodies immortal. As long as their spirits don't collapse, they can exist forever...

It is simply an alternative method of longevity!

Even if the price paid for it is unacceptable to anyone.

But what if the time comes when it is absolutely necessary?

It is also a way to save life.

There is also the book of Yequan Ru.

At this point, Qin Heqing and the others finally figured out what the black muddy liquid was stained on the wraiths in Rishang Mountain——

It turned out to be the water of the night spring!

And just like the legend, the water of the Night Spring has the ability to corrupt human beings and transform them into ghostly creatures.

So Yue'er was right in not letting Qin Heqing touch Yequanshui!

It is also a very correct choice.

Then there is part of the content about Rishangshan enchantment——

It's not an orthodox enchantment built in the form of objects and false shapes according to the shape of the mountain, the surface of physics, burying clean stones, engraving divine paintings, and drawing runes. It's a spiritual barrier that uses people as the pillar, the pillar as the heart, and water as the cycle to connect!

That's why there is a black box, and that's why there is a girl in the box.

Combined with the seemingly nonsense words of the old lady Kawabe...

A clear context about Ri Shangshan appeared in the minds of Qin Heqing and Yue'er.

"Do you use people as storage batteries..." Qin Heqing couldn't help but look at Chu Xiao Shen Yu with sympathetic eyes.

Because if he's not mistaken, Hinako Fukahae was the victim of this ritual, chosen to be the girl of the pillar.

It's no wonder that she behaved so abnormally when she went up the mountain in the daytime, and she even had a restless night. She was lured to the mountain on the first day and put into a box...

In this way, Qin Heqing became more and more sure that there was a black hand behind the scenes.

"What's the matter?" Chibi Shenyu, who noticed Qin Heqing's gaze, asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something." Qin Heqing shook his head, not expressing his speculation.

What is the use? Apart from increasing the pressure on Chuan Fukayu, it didn't help the next action, so I didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly greeted Chuan Fufuyu to walk out of the palace.

The places that can be explored have been explored, and it's time to help Chibi Fukaha find her mother.

"Let's go."

"Oh." Chibi Shenyu responded lightly, and followed up.

But this time, there were no accidents or resentful spirits blocking the way, the group of three people, one elf and half ghost returned to the main hall smoothly, and arrived at the gate of Youzhi Palace.

"What to do next?" Qin Heqing asked.

Chu Xiao Shen Yu didn't make a sound, but turned her head and looked at Fang Xili who didn't come.

As a searcher trained by Kurosawa Mika herself, she must know how to use Jixiang.

"Can you give me the fragrance?" Fang Xili, who was not coming, was a little nervous, she calmed herself down secretly, and then said softly to the chick Fukaba who was full of similarities to her.

"The photo is at the hotel." Hina Fukaha said awkwardly.

Because she also suddenly remembered that her mother's photo was not on her body.

After all, her trip to the mountain was inexplicable, so she would not bring such important things with her.

So everyone can't act indiscriminately anymore, and decided to go down the mountain to rest first, and wait until the physical strength and spirit are restored, and then go up the mountain with the incense to find Chibi Fukayu's mother.

Immediately, without further ado, everyone embarked on the journey down the mountain.

...

After about half an hour, everyone returned to the village at the foot of the mountain smoothly. They first sent Fang Xili back to the antique coffee shop, and then quietly returned to the borrowed house.

"Go take a hot bath first, so as not to catch a cold." Qin Heqing said to Chu Xiao Shenyu, who was dressed in wet clothes.

"kindness."

"Ayukawa, take care of her. If what happened tonight happens again, stop her."

"good."

Then Qin and Qing separated from the two and took Yue'er back to their room.

"What do you think of today's events?" Qin Heqing sat on the bed and asked solemnly while looking at Yue'er opposite.

"It's very troublesome. If we fail, what we have to face is not only the wraiths in the mountains, but also the night spring that may erupt at any time." Yue'er said in a solemn voice.

"How to say?" Qin Heqing asked unexpectedly.

He didn't expect that things would be so troublesome.

"Do you still remember the box that imprisoned Fukaha? Although I don't know the requirements for the 'pillar' on Higami Mountain, and the specific details of the ceremony, but the box that can be placed in that kind of palace, The task of the women who are used to make the pillars inside it will definitely not be simple! Not the most critical big pillar, but also a node-like existence! Now because of our intervention ceremony has been destroyed. That is to say, the barrier appears If there is a loophole, if the pillar problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, the barrier will probably lose its effectiveness, causing the suppressed Yequan to erupt and affect the entire mountain range and surrounding villages." Yue'er said solemnly.
