Chapter 55: The Empty Village
Along the way, Bai Luo and Little Bell didn't dare to make a sound, so they followed carefully. The three of them are in such a scene, and it is wrong for the two of them to say anything at this moment.
The traces of the fight in the cave are vivid, and the stench of the corpse of the poisonous python is stinking. Just by looking at the traces of the battle, you can see how dangerous the fight in the cave was at that time.
The three of them quickly found the secret door that Yi Shangyu said, but it was really difficult to put down the poisonous python corpse at the door. Qi Ming sacrificed his spiritual power to dissolve the poisonous python corpse, not only to allow the three of them to walk over, but also to prevent the poisonous python corpse from having unpredictable and terrible effects on the water, soil and even animals on this side.
Behind the secret door, there is a winding cave as when it came, and out of the cave is a valley.
Bai Luo frowned and looked around, judging from the direction, this place was close to Wuping Village. Bai Luo turned around, and when he saw that the little bell was like this, he confirmed his conjecture even more.
The abnormal state of the two attracted Qi Ming's attention, and he looked at the two of them and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Senior brother, do you remember what I told you about Wuping Village? Although this is not in Wuping Village, from the azimuth, this place is very close to Wuping Village. Bai Luo replied.
"It seems that this Wuping Village is not an ordinary cottage, and it may be related to what Shi Chun is doing here. Qi Ming looked at the surrounding bushes and thought deeply. "In this case, let's go to this Wuping Village to have a look. ”
"Senior brother, maybe that's not the case. Perhaps, it's just a coincidence?" Although the little bell was so suspicious in his heart, he still had a fluke. In her heart, Nanting is so cute, how could she have a relationship with someone like Shi Chun.
"Isn't it, just see. It's just that since it's such a distance, it's hard to believe that it doesn't matter. Qi Ming sighed and looked at the little bell. "I know you're worried about your friend, but it's all speculation right now, and you don't need to worry too much. ”
The little bell listened, said no more, and followed Qi Ming and Bai Luo towards Wuping Village. Along the way, I felt uneasy.
In addition to the little bell, there was also Qi Ming, although he said that he wanted to go to Wuping Village to have a look, but he was still worried about the departure from Shi Chun's residence, and when he left, he looked at the entrance of the cave for a long time. Although Bai Luo and Xiao Bell on the side were anxious, they also knew what Qi Ming was thinking, so they didn't dare to urge, they just looked at him blankly, worried about the bond between the three of them. Bai Luo's worries are even worse, in his heart, Qi Ming is the person who wants to take over Qi Yunshan, the emotional tie can only be delayed, and it is still with Yi Shangyu, the woman who is tied is still a member of the demon clan, once this matter is known to the world, it may cause chaos between the two clans, and the consequences are unimaginable.
The three of them soon came to Wuping Village, where they could see the stone bed used for sacrifice from a distance, and they could even smell the residual smell of purple grass after it was burned, and it was impossible to imagine how much purple grass had been burned here to smell the residual smell at such a distance.
After a night of tossing, the sky was hazy at this time, but there was only the sound of chickens and dogs in the village, but there was no one in sight.
"Didn't they all go out to work?" said the little bell softly, probably her last words of self-comfort.
Qi Ming and Bai Luo looked at the little bell and did not make a sound. At this moment, it is the time to get up and groom, but they are all out to work, and no one can believe this statement. After walking around the village, there was still no one to be seen. It's just that the clothes drying in the courtyards are still there, and it seems that it is really a scene of going out to work.
The three of them soon walked outside Nanting's house, and the little bell knocked on the door and shouted but there was no response. The three of them glanced at each other, then pushed the door open and entered the inner room. In the room, neat and tidy, clean and bright, just like the owner went out to do errands, but there was nothing wrong. If there is something wrong with this house, it is three uninvited guests. Qi Ming also thought of this, and felt that it was inappropriate, although it was strange here, although the three of them were not villains, but it was really rude to go to someone else's house without permission like this. So, he pulled the two out of the house quickly.
"Now, what should we do? Although Bai Luo and I have only been here twice, they are both good people, and it is impossible to be all the way with people like Shi Chun. Looking at the scene in front of him, Little Bell was even more worried. What a terrible situation it would be if all the people in Wuping Village were poisoned by Shi Chun.
Qi Ming sacrificed his spiritual power, released several spirit butterflies, and flew in all directions. "Don't worry about it needlessly, wait until the Spirit Butterfly comes back. With that, Qi Ming released a spirit butterfly again and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
After a while, all the spirit butterflies flew back, but none of them found anyone around. Qi Ming then took Bai Luo and Xiao Ling to enter Nanting's house again to investigate, and since this was the case, there was no politeness. This Nanting and the mysterious grandmother are both the saints of Wuping Village, so there must be some clues about the residence of this saintess.
Entering the house again, the three of them searched carefully, and when they found nothing, Yi Shangyu and Li Fei rushed to converge.
"Scarlet, have you recovered, are you feeling unwell?" Qi Ming saw the two of them come in, and walked quickly to Li Fei and said nervously.
"I'm fine, I'm ......" Before he could finish speaking, a piece of clothing was thrown on Qi Ming's body.
"Yi Shangyu, what are you doing?" Qi Ming asked angrily glaring at Yi Shangyu. Obviously, this dress was thrown by Yi Shangyu to himself, just to interrupt him and leave him.
"What can I do, didn't you let the spirit butterfly collect the breath of Shi Chun? I brought it directly to you, but it's okay?" Yi Shangyu raised his eyebrows and pulled Li Fei to his side.
"You should let Scarlet Er rest more, it's unpredictable here, why do you want to take her here to adventure?" Qi Ming was extremely angry.
"Your spirit butterfly is not doing anything, and it has been hanging around the window of Scarlet for a long time, but I am afraid that even a beginner cultivator has seen it. Yi Shangyu said with disdain. "If it's not your spirit butterfly, how can we be worried. ”
"I care about Scarlet...... ”
"Okay, okay, with the medicine of the little bell and the spiritual power of Big Brother Yi, I have recovered at the moment. I think it's important to get down to business at the moment, and if you quarrel over me again, then none of you will ever see me again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Fei hurriedly came up with a killer weapon and stopped the two.
Without saying a word, the two looked at each other and stopped arguing. Bai Luo and Little Bell on the side looked at Lifei with grateful eyes. If it weren't for the separation, I really don't know when these two people would fight.
Qi Ming threw Shi Chun's clothes on the ground and guided the spirit butterfly to collect the breath, and then, the other spirit butterflies also flew out of the house and entered the houses in the village to collect the breath.
Yi Shangyu helped Li Fei sit down, looked at her gently, and quietly waited for Lingdie's reply.
Qi Ming also sat down.
Suddenly, the room was surprisingly quiet.
"Well, senior brother, should we look for more clues?" the little bell said timidly, breaking the awkward silence.
"There is no need to look for it, the key things must be taken away, and the rest are used in daily life, and we can't find what we want. It's just that the stone bed at the back of the village is suspicious, it is something that can't be transferred if you want to, and the smell on it is extremely strong, and people who want to come to the village are commonly used. Yi Shangyu looked at the little bell and replied.
"The stone bed is the altar, where the people of the village sacrifice, and they sacrifice to see off the deceased, and the smell is left after the purple grass is burned with spiritual power, but we don't know why we burn this purple grass. Bai Luo replied. Finally able to speak well, Bai Luo can't wait to say more.
Yi Shangyu listened, and turned his head to look at the little bell. It was a question with his eyes, how could the apprentice of the Poison Heart Immortal Master not know the intention of doing this.
"I ...... I hadn't studied it before, so I'll have to go back and look it up. The little bell was a little embarrassed by Yi Shangyu, and said with an embarrassed smile.
Yi Shangyu smiled and looked at the door in silence.
In the room, there was a dead silence again.
In a moment, the spirit butterfly flew back. All the breaths, including Shi Chun's, are heading towards the outside of the village, and they are peers. It's just that on the way, everyone's breath disappeared.
"Then should we go to the place where the breath has disappeared?" Bai Luo frowned. As long as it is a place where people walk, it will inevitably leave a breath, and it will only disperse in seven days, but this is less than a day, and all the breath suddenly disappears, which is really weird.
"No need, it seems that the person who saved Shi Chun is a person with high spiritual power, and he can hide the aura of so many people, and it is futile to look for it. Qi Ming stood up and sighed.
As soon as a few people are combined, it is not a way to stay here, and besides, Lifei has just recovered, and he also needs to rest, so he decided that Yi Shangyu will take Lifei back to Yishui Villa, and wait until Qi Ming and the three of them return to Qiyun Mountain to find the information of Zihu Grass and then meet at Yishui Villa.
