Chapter 662: Evil Spirit
When we came out of Youzhu Cave, it was almost dusk.

"Hahahaha, Young Master Fu, look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Rong Yu laughed and said, "They are safe, there is no problem! But, it seems that they don't consider you a friend?"

"Alas..." Fu Qingzhou shook his head and sighed, "It's not like there's no chance. I'll try to persuade you next time."

"Haha, you are really loyal and righteous."

Rong Yu smiled and suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered something. Three years ago, it was you, Young Master Fu, who helped them defeat Elder Nian and my master, right?"

Fu Qingzhou looked at him calmly: "Yes."

"Why were you willing to help them then? Why are you willing to help me now?" Rong Yu asked with a grin.

Fu Qingzhou shrugged: "Knowing the current situation... Elder Nian and Elder Ma were strong at that time, but after my speculation and analysis, I thought that Hua Xiaolan and Elder Yu were actually stronger, so I stood on their side."

"Is that so?" Rong Yu was even happier: "But you still gave my master some advice?"

"After all, Elder Ma has no bad intentions."

Fu Qingzhou smiled calmly: "He could have come up with a better solution at that time...but I didn't succeed either. When things developed to that point, my persuasion was useless."

"I see." Rong Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Young Master Fu, I really admire you more and more!"

"Thank you." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "By the way, Senior Rong, you just said how many you caught..."

"It's getting late today."

Rong Yu suddenly interrupted him and laughed, "Young Master Fu, I'll arrange for someone to take you to rest first! Tomorrow, we'll have a drink and chat happily!"

Fu Qingzhou's pupils narrowed slightly.

What he said just now was that he wanted Rong Yu to take him to see the so-called "captured monster" again, but he was interrupted just as he started.

It was obvious that Rong Yu didn't intend to let him see the evil spirit now.

That being the case...

"Okay." Fu Qingzhou also grinned: "Senior Rong is now in charge of Wandu Mountain and is busy with many things. I will not disturb you. We will talk tomorrow."

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Rong Yu continued to laugh, his smile was sunny and generous.

……

"It shouldn't be."

At night, in the small bamboo house on stilts, Fu Qingzhou stood by the window, looking out the window, and murmured: "Rong Yu should not be unable to see it."

In the Miao village of Wandu Mountain, the lights were sporadic and most people were asleep, so it was quiet.

In the mountains, there is an incessant sound of animals chirping and insects chirping - although it is winter, there is no snow in the south, so it feels more like late autumn than winter.

But at this moment, Fu Qingzhou felt that it was colder here than in the north.

I originally thought that Wan Du Mountain was a familiar place, and that coming here would give me a lot of help, and that I could find Yuan Zhao with the help of a group of old acquaintances.

But now, Hua Xiaolan, Kua Ye, and Elder Yu were all imprisoned in Youzhu Cave...

Compared to what Wu Changfeng's father and senior Wu Yue said, the situation here has obviously become much more serious after a few months.

Moreover, Fu Qingzhou was not sure whether Huijue, Yuanzhao and others were involved in this.

"If Yuanzhao and the others have already appeared, Hua Xiaolan and the others should have found a way to give me hints in Youzhu Cave before."

He thought to himself, "But now it seems that I can only think of a way to deal with Rong Yu first, and then think of a solution."

"He should know that I'm not sincerely on his side."

"Whether it's threats or surveillance, he must have other intentions towards me... Until now, he hasn't said what he wants me to do. Persuade people? I'm afraid he wants to give me a chance to see how Hua Xiaolan and the others are doing, to prevent me from worrying too much and doing something drastic."

“And when entering the mountain, those patrolling disciples pretended to call out to Kua Ye? They didn’t look like they were pretending, so there should be very few people who know that Kua Ye and the others were replaced.” Fu Qingzhou tapped his fingers on the windowsill, his mind constantly sorting out the logic.

He had to figure out what Rong Yu wanted from him before he could figure out what he should do.

The leader of Lingjing Sect, Lin Wangshu, is still at the front line and doesn't know what's happening here. Can I go find him?
Not very good... I don't know him, and I don't know how many honored people there are in the front line of southern Xinjiang.

Acting rashly would only serve to alert the enemy.

"He's afraid I'll overreact, so he's half threatening and half trying to win me over. What's his purpose?"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "To force me to stay here as a mascot?"

He looked out the window and saw a few middle-aged Miao people gathered together on a path in the Miao village not far away, talking and laughing, and smoking water pipes.

But it was already dark at this time, and there would be no enemies in Wandu Mountain. However, they had scimitars on their waists, and some poison sacs used to carry poisons could be seen on their belts, which meant they were fully armed.

Fu Qingzhou knew that they were here to monitor him.

"What's the point of Rong Yu keeping me here?"

He lowered his head and looked at the curse mark on the palm of his right hand: "Old man, if you were still here, would you find something different?"

Returning to his hometown, he inexplicably felt a lot of emotions.

Fu Qingzhou is not a person who likes to reminisce about the past, but for some reason today, he always thinks of a lot of things in the past.

At this moment, the Kuhai Lantern Bell hanging around his neck suddenly trembled slightly and made a very faint sound.

Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

What just happened?
The Kuhai Lantern Bell is ringing?

Shouldn't it? There was no one around, and I had no intention of killing anyone, so why was it making the sound?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the Kuhai Lantern Bell suddenly released an electric current that blasted all over his body!
"Well!"

Fu Qingzhou was struck by lightning, and he fell heavily to the ground, twitching continuously.

But what shocked him even more was that at that moment, he actually heard an extremely strange scream coming from very close behind him!
The electric current passed in an instant, and he quickly suppressed the discomfort, turned up from the ground, and turned his head to look.

Less than a step away from me, I saw something that looked like a little monkey lying on the ground and twitching.

It is no more than two feet in size and its entire body is as black as ink. Its body and limbs are similar to those of a human, but it has four long and thin tails growing on its buttocks. Its facial features are also completely black and cannot be seen clearly. It is also impossible to tell how many eyes and mouths it has.

"This is……"

Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened: "Is it a demon?! It was on me just now?!"

After a brief moment of surprise, he acted without hesitation and quickly caught the monster.

But the next moment, the monster actually reacted. It seemed to have anticipated Fu Qingzhou's attack and turned over to avoid it a moment before the hand could catch it.

Fu Qingzhou missed his grasp and wanted to attack again, but he saw the monster suddenly drill into the ground, like a fish entering the water, it drilled into the solid ground without any hindrance and disappeared.

"what?"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked. He reached out his five fingers to grab the place where the monster disappeared, but his fingertips touched the cold and flat ground.

Without hesitation, he channeled his true energy into his five fingers and forcibly dug open a piece of the ground!
This is a small building on stilts, with an empty space underneath. He dug a palm-sized hole in the ground, and below the hole was the small hill where the building was located.

But when I looked down, there was only darkness and I could only see some grass swaying faintly. How could there be any trace of the monster?

"There's a demon following me..."

Fu Qingzhou murmured, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

"So, he left me here for this?!"
