"And now, is there anyone going now?" she asked thoughtfully.

"Now?"

The passer-by unconsciously trembled, "In the past hundred years, no one has been there for a long time, no matter how high the cultivation is, they don't dare to set foot there." Occasionally, some unbelieving outsiders climbed the mountain and tried to get in, but they were all killed. We lived near the foot of the mountain, and we could even hear the mighty words of rage. ”

So over time, even if they were curious about what was going on with them, they didn't dare to inquire, and that area became a forbidden place for the locals. ”

As if seeing Gu Xiqian's curious gaze, passers-by reminded and emphasized again, "Don't you really go, if you want me to say, Da Neng must have some hidden secrets, he has only stayed in the mountain mansion for a hundred years, but he must not be taken lightly!"

"Yes, thank you for your kindness. ”

It was as he was speaking, the sound of clanging came from afar, like a bell, but the sound was no longer as crisp as a bell, but had a shriveled and cold feeling.

Again and again.

At the same time, they heard what appeared to be a group of people coming this way.

But the strange thing is that it was as if the heels of their shoes were not raised, and it was all the sound of the soles grinding against the sand and gravel on the ground, which was extremely loud.

Liluo and Gu Xiqian subconsciously looked at the corner of the alley, and with the rustling sound, the figure also appeared little by little.

But—

These people turned out to be dead!

She was startled, looking at the dead gray face of the person walking, the stiff limbs, and the white eyeballs, she directly took out the green bamboo branch with her backhand, took a step back, and was vigilant.

Gu Xiqian also pulled her behind him.

At this moment, she saw that the passers-by who were talking were not frightened, but looked at the dead people surging here in the direction of the corner with a rather disdainful expression.

As if sensing her gaze, passers-by waved their hands indifferently.

"Don't be afraid of these dead people, they are all refined, and there is a corpse exorcist behind them, and he is the one who controls these corpses. ”

"What are you doing with these corpses?"

Probably because Gu Xiqian changed his previous curious and relaxed look, he turned solemn, and the passers-by smiled and tried to ease up, "Don't worry, these corpses are equivalent to the magic weapons refined by this corpse exorcist, and they have a lot of help in the battle." ”

"Although there are various immortal cultivation factions in the Yuan Zhou Continent and Ruxian Island, it's just that these methods of cultivating immortals such as refining corpses only exist on the islands of the Cangyun Sea—we decent immortal cultivators don't despise these actions, but in the end, there are still people who do this to disturb those who have passed away. ”

At this point, the sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, and as the passer-by said, a man wearing a gauze hat and black clothes, his whole body was tightly covered, and only a pair of eyes were left to turn around the corner of the alley.

The man glanced at them faintly, and continued to shake the mouth of the bottle in his hand, which looked like porcelain, and drove the corpse past them.

"It's really ......" Liluo's face was quite ugly, and he muttered in a low voice, and brushed the goosebumps on his arms with his hand.

"But don't underestimate it. You must know that although refining corpses is despised, it is not easy to obtain a good corpse that can be used for refining, and this is another science. And that person just now, you see that there are so many corpses in his hands, he must also have some ability. ”

Passers-by shook their heads and smacked their tongues.

After a few pleasantries, he thanked the passer-by, and after a few steps of separation, the rather enthusiastic passer-by rushed back and added.

"I forgot to mention before, if this mountain is considered a forbidden place, outsiders should not easily step outside, and there is another place, you should not go to it. ”

—the small village behind the hill that went in the direction of the sea. ”

"To tell the truth, the people in the village are a little frightened, and we are talking nonsense all day long, and we gradually have less contact with them. ”

"Oh, what is this?" Gu Xiqian questioned.

A hint of disdain flashed in the man's eyes, "You two can take a look, our island can be described as one of the few big islands in the sea of clouds, facing the sea on all sides, rich in materials, and beautiful seascapes in the plain room, which attracts many outsiders to play." ”

"But in the mouths of those people, this is a place like a demon, and they have been screaming from the evil sea, saying that they have something to eat them, and they are afraid every day, which is really annoying. ”

When Gu Xiqian and Changli heard this, they both glanced at each other, and their expressions were complicated.

……

Bidding farewell to passers-by, the two walked towards the village with a tacit understanding.

Perhaps they had found the answer to their place, she thought.

……

The hamlet is nestled in a somewhat cluttered grove of trees.

It's quiet in the middle of a lively island.

The doors of each house were closed, and no one could see it, except the sound of the waves in the distance and the sound of the wind passing through the trees.

The two walked around the bushes, surveying the village.

The muffled collision, and the sound of the rumbling on the ground were very harsh in this quiet environment.

She looked over and saw a small, thin, eleven or twelve-year-old girl, hurrying to hold on to the barrel that had fallen to the ground, and watching them with great vigilance—they had been discovered.

Liluo tried to smile kindly at her.

The girl was startled, hugged the barrel, and quickly turned around and ran into the village, and suddenly there was no one to be seen.

The sun was shining, the insects were chirping, and the whole village was empty, and there was no sound.

……

One by one, they knocked on the doors of each house, but the doors were closed, and they refused to open them, even though there were people inside.

Liluo was a little deflated, but Gu Xiqian politely explained outside the door.

"The two of us are outsiders, and we bother you because we want to inquire about something. ”

"Could you please open the door and come out to solve your doubts?"

However, no one in the village said yes or no, as if they had come to a long-abandoned village, as if the girl from before was delusional.

Liluo thought about it and gritted his teeth, "I heard that everyone is from the evil sea, don't hide it from everyone, the two of us are also from the evil sea, and suddenly come to such a place, quite uneasy, you in the village may give us two advice?"

Gu Xiqian glanced at her quickly, didn't speak, and looked like a request cooperatively.

But, even so

- It's still silent.

The two looked at each other, and they were a little helpless in their eyes, so they had to leave the same way.

But what they didn't know was that the moment they turned around, almost every house had eyes on the cracks and windows of their doors and windows—observing them.
