When I followed Village Chief Xia and led Ning Er, escorted by Ah Bao and those men with big waists and round waists, left the courtyard of Village Chief Xia's house and rushed towards the entrance of the village, I also paid attention to the village I saw in front of me by the way.

The village was almost entirely full of thatched huts and low, walled yards made of clods.

The gate of the yard is almost completely open during the day, and you can see that the walls of the yard are hung with peppers and garlic, and there are some free-range chickens and ducks leisurely foraging there.

I also saw lanterns hanging in the four corners of the courtyards and at the gates, which was probably a convenient way to find your way home at night.

In the middle of every dirt road in the village, there is a bumpy path paved with animal bones, which can walk about two people side by side.

Each bone also seems to be painted a green color like a leaf, and it is arranged irregularly, a bit like a charm with some special meaning.

Such a road would lead all the way to the door of each house, and then the soldiers would divide into two paths, along the low courtyard wall, and circle the yard in a circle, which is considered to be the whole yard.

I was a little puzzled by this, so I casually asked the village chief Xia beside me what the bone-paved road in the middle of each road was used for, and why it was painted green.

As a result, Village Chief Xia told me that this road, which was paved by the thigh bones of wolves that had died of natural old age, according to a specific arrangement, was actually a small formation, and its main purpose was to deter and intimidate demon beasts.

After all, Heavenly Sword Village is located between the prehistoric forest and the Death Demon Sea, and it is inevitable that sometimes some young and ignorant demon beasts will break into the village to play, and it will be easy to hurt or frighten the elderly, women or children who have no ability to resist.

As for the adult demon beasts, they would not enter the radius of twenty miles from Tianjian Village, because Tianjian Village happened to be located between the Death Demon Sea and the prehistoric forest, and the demon beasts on both sides were hostile to each other, and they had a strong sense of territory, so they deliberately set aside a territory buffer area twenty miles wide.

In the buffer range of this twenty-mile territory, the demon beasts on both sides have reached a consensus - that is, they will never enter easily, otherwise they will be regarded as a challenge by the other side, which will cause unnecessary wars.

Therefore, since ancient times, the ancestors of Tianjian Village deliberately built Tianjian Village within the scope of this twenty-mile territory, and invited the formation masters of the Qingzhu Sect to carefully make this wolf bone path of blessing the formation.

First, such a road is eye-catching, suitable for the elderly with bad eyes to travel and go home, if they encounter severe foggy weather that is difficult to walk, other villagers with good eyes can also rely on this colorful road to return to their own yards.

This wolf bone, which is coated with the sap of the green bamboo pie, glows turquoise at night and has a faint glow even during the day, so it is perfect for guiding the villagers on their way.

Second, when encountering monster cubs passing by on the road, the villagers can stand on this green wolf bone road to avoid being hit by monster cubs.

Because this kind of wolf bone, after being laid in a specific formation, can make the demon beast cubs think that they are surrounded by wolves, so usually when they see this wolf bone road and smell the smell of green juice, they will turn around and run away in fright, without hurting the old people or children standing on the wolf bone road.

After listening to the patient explanation of Village Chief Xia, I also developed a strong interest in the formation of the Xianxia world, thinking that after entering the sect in the future, I must learn the formation method carefully, maybe I can use it when I fight against the demon king in the future.

Because Village Chief Xia had ordered the villagers to rush to the underground secret room at the west end of the village, on the way to the entrance of the village, I saw many villagers supporting the old people and leading the children, walking towards the west in an orderly manner.

From the villagers' unflustered every move and expression, it can be seen that such an action has been rehearsed many times, so everyone is familiar with the road and is carried out in an orderly manner without nervousness.

It can be seen that Village Chief Xia still does a good job in the management of the entire Tianjian Village, and almost puts himself in the shoes of the villagers to think about all the details of life.

"Whew......"

When our group came to the entrance of the village, suddenly a big wolf dog opened its bloody mouth, shouted loudly, rushed out diagonally, and pounced on a few of us.

"Ahh

Ah Bao, who was beside Village Chief Xia, hurriedly took out the sword on his body and protected it in front of Village Chief Xia, and several other men with big shoulders and round waists also hurriedly pulled out their swords one after another, instinctively guarding around me and Ning Er.

But the big wolfdog, which looked taller than a man, did look so frightened that I saw the men's hands trembling, apparently frightened by the sudden attack.

Only after Village Chief Xia glanced thoughtfully at the big wolf dog, he raised his head and looked at the towering tree above our heads.

"Big wolf!

Just as I was about to use the Yang Sword spell to subdue this extremely ferocious wolfdog, a woman's voice came from above us.

When the big wolf dog in front of me heard the woman's voice, he instantly became very docile and fell to the ground obediently.

Then, instinctively, I looked up and saw a young woman dressed in animal skins and dressed in a wild fashion jumping from a large tree nearby.

"Boom......"

"Puff ......"

This woman, who looked like she was extraordinary, landed firmly in front of us after a few beautiful front flips in a row.

After smiling and nodding to Village Chief Xia and a few of us, she bent down and touched the head of the big wolf dog, and said to the big wolf dog very affectionately: "Well, big wolf, the volley sneak attack just now is in place, it's not in vain that I have trained you for a year! Go ahead, go find something to eat in the woods, don't you love to eat blue-eyed marmots? ”

"Whew......"

The big wolf dog named Big Wolf licked the woman's hand, looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, then turned his head excitedly and rushed towards the nearby woods.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, Ning'er wants to kill you. Why did it take so long for you to come back to see Ning'er? Woo woo......" After seeing the woman in front of her clearly, Ning'er rushed over in surprise and threw herself into her arms and cried.

"It's all Sister Xiaoxiao's bad, it's scared of you, isn't it?Ning'er, come, don't cry, huh, see what delicious food Sister Xiaoxiao brought you?" The woman who was called Sister Xiaoxiao by Ning'er squatted down, hugged Ning'er and hurriedly comforted.

He took out a bag of things wrapped in oiled paper from the baggage he was carrying and handed it to Ning'er.

Ning'er forgot to cry for a while, took the oiled paper bag, opened it carefully, looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, and shouted: "Ah! It's Ning'er's favorite flower cake! Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao." Hee-hee. ”

"Yes, Sister Xiaoxiao remembered that Ning'er liked to eat this the most, so she made it herself and brought it back for you. Eat it, don't cry. Xiaoxiao also pinched Ning'er's little face dotingly, and said softly.

Subsequently, when Xiaoxiao saw Ning Er concentrating on eating flower cakes, she stood up and said to Village Chief Xia a little apologetically: "Grandpa Xia, I just wanted to surprise you, and by the way, I tested the effect of my training of big wolves in the past year, but I didn't expect to frighten Ning Er." I'm really sorry. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, Ning'er will also want to enter the sect to cultivate immortals like you in the future, and it will be good for her to go through such a test more. By the way, how can I have free time to go back to the village today to see your father? Didn't you say that after entering the sect, you are not allowed to go home to visit your relatives for the first three years?"

Village Chief Xia smiled faintly and replied without the slightest mind.

"Originally, it was impossible to come back to see my father, but because I had made a great contribution to the sect, I made an exception and let me take a week's vacation, and it happened that my family's thatched house should be re-maintained, so I simply decided to come back temporarily. However, to be honest, I've been looking forward to returning to Heavenly Sword Village every day for the past year. After all, I've grown up here, and I'm really not used to being away from home for a year this time. Grandpa Xia, this is ......"

Xiaoxiao replied excitedly, and asked curiously, pointing at me.

"So that's the case, I know that you, the first girl to enter the sect in our village, are not simple, and sure enough, you can make great contributions after only one year, and you have lived up to your father's expectations of you! He has been unconscious since then and just woke up today. ”

Village Chief Xia said with an expression that he had already known this, and briefly introduced me and Xiaoxiao's acquaintance.

"Su Shaoxia, hello. My name is Xiaoxiao, and I am an inner disciple of the Qingzhu Sect, I don't know which sect you are a disciple of the sect who came here to practice? You dare to go to the vicinity of the Death Demon Sea to practice at such a young age, this is something that the disciples of the Great Gate Sect dare not do. Xiaoxiao said to me generously, and asked me with great admiration.

Obviously, when she heard Village Chief Xia call me Su Shaoxia, she thought that I was also a disciple of a certain sect.

"Oh...... My situation is a long story, so I might as well talk about it in detail later, because we still have to rush to investigate a very strange death case, and I am afraid that it will be too late and the clues will be gone. I hesitated for a moment, then replied with some embarrassment.

Because I think that the matter of the six patrol officers turned into black water that Andy said is a top priority, and it is too late to go, and once the black water evaporates and dries, it will be difficult to find clues, so I also have no intention of standing there and chatting with Xiaoxiao about other inconsequential things.

"That's right, Xiaoxiao, I still have a very urgent matter to deal with, why don't you go to the secret room in the west to accompany your father and mother first? ”

Village Chief Xia also said approvingly, and made another suggestion.

"That'...... All right. In this case, I will let the big wolf go with you, and if there is any need, just let the big wolf come back and inform me, and I will rush over to help immediately. Xiaoxiao said reluctantly, as if she wanted to go with us to see what the case was, but she felt that it was also important to go back first to see if her father and mother were safe.

So, we made a suggestion to let the big wolf follow us.

"Okay! Then it's decided! It's enough to have the big wolf with us, you quickly summon the big wolf to go with us, and you can quickly go to the secret room to help settle the villagers." With you, I'm a little more at ease. Village Chief Xia replied briskly.

"Tweet ......"

Then, after a series of strange sounds came out of Xiaoxiao's mouth, I saw the figure of the big wolf appear again in the woods not far away.

After explaining a few words to the big wolf, Xiaoxiao turned around and rushed to the village.

And a few of us walked forward at great speed again under the leadership of Andy and Big Wolf......
