Back at the inn, it was already the fifth watch, but the sky was still dark and gloomy, and the moonlight was faint.

Zhu Yuanyu was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

When I woke up at dawn, it was already noon.

After eating, I packed up my things and drove out of the city in a carriage.

The next few days were spent in the suburbs, and they were still far from the next town.

Supplies are usually exchanged with the villagers for silver money when passing through some small villages, and this time was no exception.

They arrived at a small and hospitable village, where they were warmly welcomed by the villagers.

At this time, the wound on Zhu Yuanyu's arm was also healed, and Cui'er was willing to let him eat some greasy food - in order to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed, Cui'er resolutely refused to let him eat greasy food, for fear that it would not leave a scar.

Zhu Yuanyu couldn't explain to her the abnormality of his body, so he could only suffer this loss and was wronged for several days.

Although Qi Yi supports Cui'er, he will secretly hide the pastries and give them to Zhu Yuanyu to eat when Cui'er is not paying attention.

At this time, Zhu Yuanyu was really grateful to Qi Yi, and even wanted to catch him and kiss him a few times as a reward.

The small village they arrived at was a very beautiful place, with green mountains and green waters, delicate flowers blooming in the fields, and some children running and playing around the fields with laughter and laughter, very happy.

Zhu Yuanyu fell in love with this small village at a glance.

Entering the village, the curious villagers looked over one after another, without defense, without malice, and completely welcomed Zhu Yuanyu and a few of their visitors.

They were entertained by the village chief's family.

That night, the sumptuous dinner made them full of food, and the rural banquet had a special taste.

Especially the thick chicken soup in the pot, but with fresh mushrooms, it was even more fragrant than the chicken soup he drank before, which made Zhu Yuanyu never forget it before going to bed.

"If you really like to drink, young master, then the slave maid will ask the village chief's daughter-in-law tomorrow for the trick, so that when you return to Beijing, young master, you can drink it from time to time. ”

Cui'er twisted a face towel and handed it to Zhu Yuanyu, she went to the kitchen to help with tonight's banquet, so she knew who was in charge of making the soup.

Zhu Yuanyu shook his head, "No need, it's not that smell anymore." ”

Cui'er didn't understand what he meant, it was all soup made with chicken and fresh mushrooms, so what was the taste?

Although she thought so, she didn't ask, but said, "Young master, do you want to wash your feet?" ”

Zhu Yuanyu waved his hand, "You can rest." ”

Cui'er withdrew with the basin of water, and she slept with the village chief's daughter-in-law and granddaughter tonight.

Qi Yi blew out the candles, and the room instantly fell into darkness, only the bright moon outside the room was still bright, and a trace of silver light sprinkled through the crack in the door.

The only window in this room was open, but there was no moon in sight, and the moon hung high behind the house.

The room was quiet, Zhu Yuanyu opened his eyes in the dark, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Li Zhuangzhuang on the right hand side was already snoring, but Qi Jian on the left hand side did not move at all, as if there had never been a person sleeping there, and the silence made Zhu Yuanyu think that there was no one.

"Qi Yi, have you slept?" Zhu Yuanyu lowered his voice.

Just when he thought it was his illusion that the other party was already asleep, a low male voice sounded softly in his ear-

"Nope. ”

"Oh. ”

The two fell silent.

Half a day.

"Sleep. ”

It's still that deep male voice.

As if hypnotized, Zhu Yuanyu suddenly felt sleepy, his eyelids became heavy, and he slowly fell asleep.

After that, there was also the sound of steady breathing on the left-hand side, which was very regular.

A dreamless night.

The sound of roosters woke Zhu Yuanyu up, and he looked at the sky, and at this time, it was bright, and there was already a sound of walking in the small village.

What a hard-working people!

Zhu Yuanyu said with emotion.

The left and right sides of him were already empty, and Qi Yi and Li Zhuangzhuang got up early every morning to practice martial arts, and they couldn't move.

This perseverance makes someone feel ashamed when they see it, but they don't feel the slightest shame that they have slept until the sun rises.

The thick skin is also self-exclaiming.

After lying on the bed for a while, Zhu Yuanyu got up slowly.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's just that he's hungry, and vaguely he seems to smell the aroma of food.

After putting on his clothes and shoes, Zhu Yuanyu opened the door and walked out, taking a breath of fresh air by the way, which was not available in the previous world!

In the past, air pollution was already very strict, people had to wear masks when they went out, and almost everyone had an air filter and purifier installed in their homes.

Even in the countryside, the air in this small village is incomparable.

Zhu Yuanyu took a few more breaths of expensive air, and then he was satisfied, as if he had earned it, and his mood was cheerful and bright.

"Young Master, why are you up?"

Look at this, as if he had never gotten up early - Zhu Yuanyu secretly rolled his eyes.

I think when he was studying, he wasn't the first to arrive at school early, and even the squad leader who got the key didn't get up as early as him!

How come you get here and get suspicious when you wake up early?

Zhu Yuanyu's rare good mood was ruined, and he is very unhappy now.

Cui'er, who got up early in the morning, carefully looked at the young master's face, she found that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, otherwise the young master would not suddenly change from smiling to expressionless;

Cui'er had a bitter face, and now she couldn't wait to pry open the young master's skull to take a closer look, lest she never be able to keep up with the rhythm of the young master's face change, it was too fast.

Zhu Yuanyu glanced at her, turned around and went back to the house.

Cui'er was helpless, and walked in with a basin of water as usual.

"Young master, the slave maid has brought you water, you wash it first, and the slave maid will bring you breakfast...... I ate leek buns this morning! Slave maid remember that young master, you love to eat leek buns the most, and the slave maid also has a bun......

Zhu Yuanyuzai wiped his face carefully, and reluctantly said "hmm", but the corners of his mouth rose again.

Cui'er watched quietly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and went out to serve breakfast, it was not easy, the young master's temper was becoming more and more like a child, so he had to be coaxed.

Zhu Yuanyu also felt that he had a tendency to be younger, so he couldn't help but collapse his face, threw the face towel into the basin, and the splash of water almost splashed on his chest.

However, when Cui'er came over with fragrant leek buns, Zhu Yuanyu still ate five faces, and she almost couldn't walk.

Qi Yi, who had come back from martial arts practice, glanced at his bulging stomach a few times worriedly.

After breakfast, the sky officially dawned.

After the villagers saw them off, they drove away in their carriages.

When passing by a tree, Zhu Yuanyu, who was lying by the window and watching the scenery, suddenly felt a little familiar.

Maybe it's a mistake, after all, every tree is the same-Zhu Yuanyu thought.

But when the carriage drove for a while and then went back to the small village just now, Zhu Yuanyu couldn't help frowning, and the strange feeling in his heart lingered.

It's still the same villagers, the same scenery, the same air.

When the curious villagers gathered around and asked why they came back, Zhu Yuanyu didn't know how to explain, so he smiled and continued to let Li Zhuangzhuang drive the carriage away.

Once;

Twice;

Three times.

When the villagers all cast a look of "are they stupid", Zhu Yuanyu had no choice but to ask Li Zhuangzhuang to stop the carriage.

No matter how they go, eventually they will circle back to this small village.

Can't get out?

Is the ghost hitting the wall?

Is it a maze?

Or is it something else?

Zhu Yuanyu couldn't figure it out, so he had to disturb the village chief's house again.

The village chief was not dissatisfied and entertained them very warmly.

What a simple villager, a great man!

Zhu Yuanyu stayed without any burden in his heart, and he stayed for three days.

Three days later, they still couldn't get out of the small village.

The village chief is still the same, and there is no dissatisfaction, but his daughter-in-law has an opinion, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanyu has nothing else, that is, money.

Seeing the silver taels of white flowers, the village chief's daughter-in-law had no opinions, and she didn't say anything about it with a smile, but also planned to let them live forever, and kept it very sincerely.

If Zhu Yuanyu and the others leave, the village chief's daughter-in-law will definitely be the saddest one.

I thought they were going to go on like this, but on the fourth day there was a change.

It's not that you can go out, but someone walks in.

There are four people in total, two men and two women, and they know at a glance that they are not ordinary people.

Have you ever seen an ordinary person carry a long sword with him?

And Zhu Yuanyu always felt that those four people were a little similar to his breath, maybe ......

Because there was no vacancy in the village chief's house, the four people lived in the second adult family in the small village, but Zhu Yuanyu saw it, and the village chief's daughter-in-law looked disappointed, and she didn't know if she was pity for the money that slipped away.

It always felt like she had opened a new door.

That night, Zhu Yuanyu sensed that something was wrong, and the whole small village suddenly became very strange, and the surrounding aura was full of energy, and it kept leaking out like a floodgate.

Zhu Yuanyu sat up from the bed suddenly, but did not wake up the two beside him.

That's not right!

He looked back and saw that the people on his left and right seemed to be asleep, their chests lying together, and the sound of breathing echoed in his ears with a very regular pattern.

"Qi Yi?"

"Strong?"

Can't wake up.

There was no way, Zhu Yuanyu put on his shoes and opened the door and walked out, he planned to inspect the situation.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, someone said quietly behind him: "This Taoist friend Yaxing...... It's so late...... Are you out to enjoy the moonlight?"

Zhu Yuanyu was suddenly shocked, he didn't find anyone standing behind him!

If that man had malicious intentions, I'm afraid he wouldn't be standing here.

However, he couldn't show his timidity, and pretended to be calm: "It's not so late that Daoist friends come out to enjoy the moonlight." He turned around slowly.

It's actually a man among the four!

The man suddenly smiled, "You're so funny. ”

Zhu Yuanyu: "......???"

"Snort. The man smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I won't tease you, you go back, don't come out in the middle of the night." ”

After saying that, he left.

Intuition told Zhu Yuanyu that Qi Yi and Li Zhuangzhuang's slumber was related to him or the remaining three.

It's not that easy to get him away like that! He wants to see what they are going to do that doesn't make sense!

Zhu Yuanyu's temper came up, and he immediately turned the spiritual power of his whole body into operation, and the whole person disappeared in place in an instant.

He quietly followed the man.

Following the other party, Zhu Yuanyu came to the woods behind the small village.

Walk through the woods and stop in a cave,

Just when he felt strange about this cave, the man got in, and Zhu Yuanyu hurriedly followed.

When he heard the voice, he saw three other people.

The man being followed glanced back suspiciously, but found nothing.

"What's wrong?"

One of the women asked, a baby-faced face with a sinister face.

The man shook his head, "Nothing. ”

Zhu Yuanyu breathed a sigh of relief and listened intently to their conversation.

"Are all the people in the village asleep?" asked another man, looking menacing.

"Rest assured, my spells have never failed. The other woman replied confidently.

The person who was being followed pulled the corners of his mouth, probably thinking of Zhu Yuanyu who slipped through the net, but he didn't say it.

These four people don't seem to be as harmonious as they seem to be—Zhu Yuanyu thought secretly.

"When will it come out?" Babyface asked.

The three of them shifted their gaze to the person being followed, only to see him touch his nose and say, "Tomorrow night." ”

"Are you sure?" asked the confident woman.

The man nodded and stopped talking.

In the end, the four of them left one after another, and Zhu Yuanyu waited for a while before slowly walking out of the cave.

What he knew now was: Tomorrow night, something will appear, and it is very likely that it will be something that guides the rapid growth of the spiritual energy of the small village, or a human ...... Maybe the solution to the problem of "can't get out of the small village" is also in it.

Of course, this is just his speculation for the time being, and the truth will not be revealed until tomorrow night.

Now what he has to do is to go back and get a good night's sleep, according to the information revealed by those people, it seems that Qi Yi and Li Zhuangzhuang's deep sleep is not a big deal, and I believe that they will wake up at dawn.

If he doesn't wake up, he'll settle accounts with them!

Zhu Yuanyu quickly returned to the room, climbed into bed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes the next morning, he saw that both sides were empty, and he finally put his mind at ease.

On this day, he did almost nothing, just absorbed the aura.

When the night came again, because he knew it in advance, Qi Yi and Li Zhuangzhuang's deep sleep did not startle him.

Tonight's aura is even stronger than last night's, as if it is about to reach its peak, which means that there is something treasure coming out of the mountain.

Yes baby.

After a day of thinking, Zhu Yuanyu felt that this should be a sign that the baby was out of the mountain, and those four people came for this baby.

Zhu Yuanyu was heading towards the cave last night, while thinking carefully about countermeasures, he planned to snatch the treasure over, otherwise he would feel sorry for the few days he wasted in the small village.

This is providence, this is God deliberately left him in order to let him get the treasure.

Zhu Yuanyu recognized this truth, and he did not accept any other reason! He did not admit it! Ignore it!

Le Zizi walked to the cave and saw that the four people were earlier than him, Zhu Yuanyu was in a bad mood, he wanted to beat people.

But before he could make a move, the four of them didn't know why they quarreled, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became, and there was a tendency to fight without saying a word.

Zhu Yuanyu is happy to watch the play - the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

It's a pity that he was disappointed in the end, and the people didn't fight, presumably because they knew that the senseless fight was meaningless.

This can make Zhu Yuanyu grit his teeth with hatred, since they don't take the initiative, let him come!

Just thinking about it, the mountain suddenly shook in a flash, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly held on to a big tree beside him.

The four of them were also shocked and suspicious.

Fortunately, it came and went quickly, and the shaking stopped.

"Not good!"

Someone shouted.

When Zhu Yuanyu saw it, he was also anxious, it turned out that when it was shaking, the cave was actually covered.

At this moment, the aura in the air disappeared, and then suddenly burst out again, straight into the sky!

A thunderbolt struck the hole.

Zhu Yuanyu was shocked.

What kind of treasure is this? It actually attracted thunder fire!

The four of them looked surprised, and hurriedly performed their own tricks, removing the rocks and dirt that covered the entrance to the cave little by little.

After a while, the entrance was re-revealed.

The four of them scrambled into the cave, not thinking about whether the earthquake would come again, whether they would be buried, it was really bold.

Zhu Yuanyu was not far behind, he jumped in as soon as he stomped, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as fast as he could.

When he went in, the whole cave was bright, and walking along the front, Zhu Yuanyu finally saw the true face of the treasure - it was a flower composed of transparent petals, the size of a palm, and exuding an attractive fragrance.

Wait a minute!

An enticing aroma?

Zhu Yuanyu hurriedly held his breath, and he finally found that the appearance of the four people who walked in one step earlier than him was a little weird, like ...... Tricked into illusion?

Next, he witnessed a terrible scene with his own eyes-

The four men began to kill each other.

In just a moment, the four people who were originally alive were each brutally killed.

Zhu Yuanyu was stunned, a little unable to come back to his senses.

It wasn't until he smelled the tantalizing aroma again in his nose that he realized that it didn't seem to have any effect on him.

Calming down, Zhu Yuanyu carefully bypassed the four fragmented corpses and stood in front of the little flower that took four lives in an instant.

The closer you go, the more you discover the beauty of the flowers, like frost condensed flowers, pure and immaculate.

But behind it lies deep malice.

Zhu Yuanyu didn't know whether to pick this flower for a while.

After thinking about it, he thought that instead of keeping it to harm others, it would be better for him to sacrifice his life and righteousness and pick the flowers.

His face was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he didn't go to hell and who would go to hell.

Wrapping his right hand with spiritual power, he picked the flowers with a bang, the kind that was uprooted, leaving no way back for the Hua family, and even future generations were exempted.

Although he didn't know what this flower was used for the time being, Zhu Yuanyu still snickered, for his wit and luck.

"Hua'er Hua'er, from now on, you will follow Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben will not treat you badly, you can eat and drink spicy food if you want~"

I don't know if it's an illusion, the weak delicate flower trembled slightly.
