Chapter 189: Strange Village
Bai Xiu's heart froze, and he didn't care if he would confront Fang Xuanjian, so he brushed aside the leaves and turned over to the ground.
At this time, Fang Xuanjian sneered: "Where to run!"
Bai Xiu secretly said that it was not good, and when he came out, there was no one outside.
This made Bai Xiu suspicious, this person seemed to know that he was here, and as soon as he saw him rushing out, he fled, obviously not wanting him to know his identity.
He couldn't help but think of something, could it be that this person was also known to him? At the same time, who could it be that he knew Li Chun, Fang Xuanqian and him?
Bai Xiu chased after the direction the two left, but he only had time to see Fang Xuanxi's figure disappear into the deep forest.
The forest here was much denser than before, and his vision was very limited, and he eventually lost track of the two of them.
He was helpless, when suddenly a sound of footsteps came.
Bai Xiu listened attentively, and was slightly surprised in his heart, there seemed to be several people listening to the movement, could it be that besides him, Fang Xuanjian, Fang Xin, and the murderer, there were other people here?
As soon as his thoughts turned, he climbed up to a tall pine tree nearby, and hid in the dense foliage with bated breath, waiting for the men to arrive.
Soon, a group of people walked under the trees in silence.
There were nine of them, each wearing a black cloak, and their faces were hidden deep in the shadow of their hoods, not to mention Bai Xiu squatting on a tree, even if they were face to face, they might not be able to see clearly.
Monsters in the illusion realm? Bai Xiu didn't dare to alarm them, and planned to wait for them to go far away before going to investigate.
However, he stopped after a few steps, and the person who took the lead was the first to speak: "I heard movement here just now, but I didn't see a ghost all the way." ”
"It's no better, we still have to find a way to catch them and go back to the errand. Someone said, "Brother Jiu, why don't we rest here, and then go back when we have enough time." ”
The others echoed one after another, but the leader called Brother Jiu hesitated: "This is not good, if he knows, he will be scolded again." ”
The man who spoke before said, "He can't do anything to us, he can scold if he likes." ”
Brother Jiu finally nodded, and they sat and rested under the tree, taking off their hoods one after another to breathe.
Bai Xiu took a closer look, these nine people were all very young, and the oldest was probably the ninth brother, who was in his early thirties.
However, Bai Xiu was more curious about the origin of these people, listening to their conversations, it seemed that there were more than these nine people in this team.
With such a large number of people, Bai Xiu didn't believe that the Fang family would allow them to break into the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, there was only one explanation, they were sent by the Fang family to guard the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, and it was very likely that they would stay here all the time.
This is a bit strange, Bai Xiu has heard of the dangers of the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, and has also heard of the many treasures of the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, but he doesn't know that there are a large number of people living here.
That's right, it's indeed life, because in the next chat, these people mentioned very little about the Phantom Heart Secret Realm itself, and the most was their life here.
Even from their words, Bai Xiu traced such an outline.
In the basin not far away, there is a large village, and they have been guarding here just like the people of Hongyuan Island.
The only difference is that they haven't been out for generations since they came here.
What makes Bai Xiu feel strange is that these people are not afraid in the face of the dark future, but reveal different expectations.
And in their words, there is a word that appears a lot, Bai Xiu doesn't know which two words it is, but it sounds like yin.
He was thinking about it, and said, "Tomorrow will be thirteen, and it's time to prepare 'Yin Xu' to worship 'Tribulation Heaven'." ”
Catastrophe!
Bai Xiu's heart was shocked, he never expected to hear these three words here.
He also thought that the Fang family's involvement in the robbery of the fragments of the Shengding was a temporary idea, but now it seems that they are afraid that they already know some information.
Even twenty years ago, the fragments of the Raiding Life Tripod were brought out from here by his father!
However, listening to their tone, this calamity does not look like a place, but like a certain god, and this yin Xu should also be called the yin - the yin is the sacrifice used by the ancients to enjoy the gods.
However, Ming Yuchu had said that the Fragment of the Tribulation Tripod was the key to the Heaven of Death, and it was obvious that she was referring to a world or other dimension that was different from the one they were in.
Then what is the Heaven of Birth in this Illusory Heart Secret Realm?
Having said that, this is only the second layer of the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, what are they guarding here for?
Could it be that the Catastrophe?
Another point, Fang Xuanqian is strong, and she got the Phantom Heart Jue, coming in for so long, it stands to reason that it is enough for her to crack several layers of mechanisms, but why is she staying here?
Could it be that the Fang family likes to think backwards, the top level is just a pretense, and they put the most important thing on the second layer? Could it be that the fragments of the Tribulation Ding are also hidden here?
After thinking about it, the nine people had finished resting and planned to return the way they came.
Since they were not monsters in the Illusion Secret Realm, they were just ordinary people, Bai Xiu also put his mind at ease, stayed behind them, and followed from a distance.
They climbed over a hill and came to a relatively flat clearing, where a few large tents were set up, which was supposed to be their makeshift camp.
Bai Xiu saw that they went directly into the tent, and knew in his heart that they didn't plan to go back now.
So he also found a hidden place, watching the movement over there, while resting against the nearby grass and trees.
An hour later, another group of people slowly approached from the opposite side, also wearing cloaks, but with a full load of things, presumably to deliver supplies.
The people inside heard the movement and rushed out, and Bai Xiu counted the number of people and knew that the nine people were only a small part of them.
They surrounded the team that had just arrived, rummaged directly in their hands, and for a moment the originally silent camp suddenly became lively.
At this moment, Bai Xiu saw another person come out of the tent in the middle, and unlike the others, his cloak was red.
His status should be higher than the others, because as soon as he came out, everyone else stopped making noise and stepped aside with solemn expressions.
A member of the new party walked through the crowd to greet him, saluted respectfully, and then said, "Three chiefs, the high priest has arrived, and the high chief asked me to invite you back." ”
The red cloak nodded silently, turned his head and said, "Ah Jiu, you are in charge of this place for the time being, if there is any mistake, I will ask you." ”
The Ah Jiu he was talking about was the previous Brother Jiu, who received the order with sincere trepidation, watching him and the group walk in the direction they came.
Bai Xiu perked up, looked at their route, and bypassed from the side.
Soon, he followed them.
This group of people actually walked very slowly, and Bai Xiu didn't know if they were pursuing a sense of ritual or if there was something wrong with their body, but it was convenient for him to follow.
It's just that they were silent all the way, and after walking for dozens of minutes, Bai Xiu didn't hear any news.
After a while, a small basin appeared before him, the slope of the hill around him was not steep, and a path winded down to the village of the basin.
Bai Xiu only glanced at it, and was shocked in his heart.
Perhaps many people have guessed that the layout of this village is also an imitation of Baijia Town, the only difference is that its scale is relatively small, but it is just beginning to take shape, if Bai Xiu is not too familiar with this pattern, maybe he can't see it.
Bai Xiu didn't want to delve into its origin, he just suddenly thought of a question, if the setting here is also to condense spiritual power, then what kind of magic circle is it used to assist?
He looked into the middle of the village, which, like Baijia Town, was also a lake.
It's a little smaller than Suring's Lake, and I wonder if there is also an altar and a secret passage leading to some secret place at the bottom of the lake.
Seeing that group of people had entered the village, Bai Xiu did not act rashly, because he noticed that several people who were probing from the village were also wearing cloaks, the difference was that their cloaks were gray.
A few people are in good health, and nine times out of ten they are the guards guarding the village.
Before he knew the strength of these people, he still had to be careful.
After understanding the scope of these people's inspections, he carefully went around to a loosely guarded corner and sneaked in, hiding in a hidden corner with a relatively wide field of vision to observe the situation in the village.
Although it was night, the village was very lively, with many people gathering in the open space of the village to chat and dance.
Although these people did not wear cloaks, they all wore the same style of clothes, and they were dressed in blue cloth, which reminded people of a place like a prison.
Some of them have a different color of clothes than others, which is black.
At first, he thought that these men in black were village administrators or respected people, but after taking a closer look, he changed his mind.
Some of them talked eloquently and were laughed at by the people around them, and some of them stared blankly at the sky and stayed out of the matter, not like the elders who were admired.
And among them, there are young adults like Brother Jiu, and there are also many old people and children, and the only thing they can't see is adult women.
This made Bai Xiu have to wonder if this was not a place that despised women, even at night, they couldn't show their heads outside.
But soon this was also denied by him.
Because there are many little girls of all ages among these people, who laugh and laugh and play tricks on adults with impunity.
Even if they were discovered, the latter would laugh it off, nod their noses lovingly, and offer the candy in their hands.
The little boys stood timidly and waited for the girls to chase away, and then they mustered up the courage to ask for candy, but they were all impatiently pushed aside by the adults.
The favor of adults, the happiness of girls, cannot be faked, and the hearts of men are not so fickle, and they love them so much now, but when they reach adulthood, they are deprived of their freedom and make them accessories of others.
So where did they go? Bai Xiu shuddered inexplicably, this village is really weird.
It wasn't until dawn that the villagers dispersed.
When the sun rose, there was no one in sight in the whole village, not even the gray cloaks of the guards.
Does the people of this village like to go out by day, or is there some secret hidden here?
Soon he knew the reason, because he felt the heat.
You must know that since he has a ghost eye, even if it is a dog day under the lingering yin qi, he will not feel hot, but imagine how high the temperature here will be.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky, but saw that the clouds covered the sun, let alone the sun, and even the shadow of the sun could not be seen.
Terrestrial heat?
Bai Xiu could only think of this possibility.
But now it was convenient to find out, and he did not hesitate any longer, and walked cautiously towards the lake in the middle of the village.
He had also noticed a phenomenon before, there was a large open space in front of the lake, but the villagers who were traveling at night seemed to be a little afraid of it, and they all hid far away.
What is the layout of this village, what is the life of the villagers, and why does the village have such a high temperature during the day?
Maybe all the puzzles can be found there.
