In the center of the junction between the Ximen family and the Northwest Wilderness, there is a small remote village called "Qingniu Village".

Qingniu Village is not large, only twenty or thirty households, forty or fifty people, but it is the closest human village to the Northwest Wilderness.

And the reason why it is named Qingniu Village comes from the bluestone cow at the entrance of the village.

According to legend, about a hundred years ago, Qingniu Village was just a barren place, and no one thought of building a house here to live there for generations.

But one day, suddenly a behemoth fell from the sky.

People saw it from afar, and they were immediately surprised and delighted, and there were many people who had the idea of "pie in the sky", and followed the direction of the behemoth to find the current location of Qingniu Village.

However, when people saw the behemoth that fell from the sky, it turned out to be just a huge bluestone cow that was more than two feet long and tall, most of them immediately showed disappointment.

They came in spite and returned in disappointment, even if the appearance of the bluestone cow was lifelike, just like the real thing, and they didn't do any more nostalgia.

However, there are still a small number of people who choose to stay.

And that small group of people think that the stone ox falling from the sky is an auspicious omen, so they not only stayed, but also moved their home, brought their parents, wives and children, and lived here from then on.

In this way, the barren land was populated, and stone oxen fell from the sky, and a green cow village descended.

It's a pity that for a hundred years, the auspicious omen has never been fulfilled.

The heavens seem to have played a joke on the people of Qingniu Village, neither bless the villagers here with promotions and wealth, nor bless them with abundant harvests, and even occasionally there will be strange incidents of missing people.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to figure out these questions, people who live on the edge of the Northwest Wilderness, have not been eaten by fierce beasts that suddenly came out of nowhere, and have not been poisoned by some evil things in the entire village, don't you feel lucky, should you be thankful?

Nowadays, more and more villagers want to understand the key to the problem, so more and more people choose to flee Qingniu Village.

And those villagers who continue to stay here are either old and frail and can't walk, or they are lifeless, so there are only forty or fifty people in twenty or thirty households.

But in the past few days, the auspicious omen that the people of Qingniu Village have been waiting for for a hundred years seems to have come.

I saw that the village was lively overnight, and the people who came and went were all masters of cultivation, they came from all over the Central Plains, and they were very surprised from the costumes alone.

Although Qingniu Village is not the only entrance to the Northwest Wilderness, it is the closest Terran village to the Northwest Wilderness.

And it is still on the central axis of the Ximen family and the Northwest Wilderness, and most of the people who want to enter the Northwest Wilderness will pass through here and take a temporary rest to recuperate and recharge, and at the same time to inquire about the news.

So after a few days, Qingniu Village, which originally didn't have many people, was suddenly filled with people. As local residents here, the villagers took this opportunity to sell some dry food and water, and actually made a small fortune.

It's just that once there are more outsiders, naturally everyone has it, not to mention the incompatible good and evil, it is the right way that has some connections, and they often have to compete after meeting.

No, in just a few days, in Qingniu Village and nearby, I don't know how many fights have taken place, some unlucky guys, even before entering the Northwest Wilderness, have inexplicably disappeared, as for whether they are dead, and where they died, only God knows.

……

On the third day of Wudao's departure from Heilong Mountain, unexpectedly, but it was reasonable, he appeared at the entrance of Qingniu Village.

He buttoned his hat to his head, and his whole body was hidden in a wide black robe.

And a dress like him, if it is placed on weekdays, it must be extremely eye-catching, but in today's Qingniu Village, no one will care about him!

You know, some people who don't want to be recognized are dressed up in a much weirder way than him.

Wudao stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the huge bluestone cow in front of him, and the villagers kneeling in front of the bluestone cow to burn incense and worship, sneered, and shook his head.

At this moment, a man with only his left ear and a pockmarked face was walking towards Wudao.

But seeing that the man hadn't approached yet, he couldn't wait to say, "My God, you're here, it's a little later, master...... I can't wait. ”

Wudao looked at the sweaty pockmarks, and said lightly: "I dealt with a small matter on the way, so I was delayed for a day, what's wrong?" ”

Of course, one ear is pockmarked, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The people from Taiqingmen are here." ”

Wudao was shocked, but he didn't do anything drastic, because this matter was within his expectations, so he said disapprovingly: "Taiqingmen, as one of the three major sects of the righteous path, is not uncommon for people to send people here, can you inquire clearly, how many people have they come this time?" ”

Mazi stretched out his left hand, spread his five fingers, and blurted out, "No less than fifty people." ”

Hearing this, Wudao's eyes suddenly froze, and he asked, "Where are they now?" ”

Mazi raised his hand and pointed to the village, and replied, "I just arrived an hour ago, and now I am resting in a ruined temple at the head of the village. ”

There is no way to speak, thoughtful.

However, at this time, I don't know who it is, but it was a man's voice, and he suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow! Look at ......."

With this sudden exclamation, Qingniu Village, which originally seemed to be quite calm, suddenly became agitated.

The villagers kneeling in front of the bluestone cow statue looked up at the sky one by one, and some people nearby also raised their eyes curiously.

Wudao didn't look back, and he was the only one present who was indifferent, because he knew what the reason was.

On the other hand, Mazi turned around and looked up at the sky for the first time.

However, I saw that in the sky above Qingniu Village, a purple light shot out. Immediately after that, the purple light slowly fell, revealing a purple-clothed figure.

The person who came was the purple spirit who had followed the Wudao all the way to this point, her graceful posture, extremely beautiful appearance, coupled with her graceful demeanor, caused a lot of exclamation and admiration.

"Wow!"

Mazi opened her mouth wide, her eyes widened, and she sighed: "There is such a beautiful woman again, I shouldn't be dreaming!" ”

When Wudao heard the word "again", he frowned and turned his head to look at Mazi.

However, inadvertently, there may also be involuntary ingredients in it, he glanced at it, and then glanced at the purple clothes not far away.

"Idiot!" Wudao scolded in a low voice. "Don't you really think of yourself as a peerless beauty? Nowadays, I don't know how to cover up a little bit in this kind of place. ”

After that, Wudao glared at Mazi fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Take me to find a safe place and rest." ”

There was no response, Mazi didn't seem to hear what Wu Dao said at all, and his eyes and mind were all focused on Zi Ling.

Wudao was stunned for a moment, and then coughed lightly, but Mazi still didn't react.

So Wudao's face sank, and he raised his right foot with lightning speed, and kicked Mazi's ass.

"Bang!"

"Oops, hey!"

After a muffled sound, it was Mazi's bitter wail.

I saw that Mazi was kicked and staggered, and rushed forward four or five steps before he stabilized his figure.

"You ......"

Mazi turned around and pointed angrily at Wudao, but as soon as the words came out, it stopped abruptly, and he was startled when he saw Wudao's gloomy face and angry eyes.

"How?" Wudao said coldly.

Mazi suddenly became excited, and the corners of his eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to say more.

Wudao snorted, and then replied, "Immediately find me a safe place where no one disturbs." ”

Mazi didn't express his position immediately, and his mind quickly thought about the places that met the requirements of Wudao, but the current Qingniu Village was full of righteous people, and it was not easy to find a safe and uninhabited place.

Wudao saw the difficulty of Mazi, and also knew the current situation, his requirements seemed to be a little difficult, and he said: "Just stay away from the Taiqing disciples, and they won't be noticed." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mazi hurriedly nodded yes, he had a goal in his heart, and he was about to lead the way, but before leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at Zi Ling.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after taking another look, Mazi seems to have thought of something.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Mazi suddenly shouted to stop without a way.

"What's wrong?" Wudao was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.

Mazi walked a few steps to catch up with Wudao, and he should have thought of something, with a thoughtful expression, he asked: "This woman in purple, where do I seem to have seen it, do you feel this way?" ”

Wudao said without thinking: "Yes! ”

When Mazi heard this, she was overjoyed, so she asked again, "Then do you know who she is?" I can't remember. ”

Wudao looked at Mazi, his face was calm, and he asked lightly, "Do you really want to know?" ”

"Of course!"

Mazi nodded nondeniably, her joy overflowing.

And Mazi, whose full name is "Zheng Yingjun", is actually not handsome at all, and even has nothing to do with the word "handsome", especially now that he still has one ear, and when he laughs, seriously, it's a little disgusting.

Wudao didn't want his eyes to be affected, so he quickly looked away from Mazi's face, and then said word by word: "Her name is Zi Ling." ”

"Purple Spirit, Purple Spirit, Purple Spirit." Mazi muttered a few times to herself, and couldn't help but praise: "This is really a good name!" Just ...... with her."

However, before he finished speaking, the smile on Mazi's face suddenly froze, and he said in horror: "That Purple Spirit Elder from Taiqing Sect? ”

He nodded his head noncommittally.

Mazi was shocked, shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm Di Niang!" ”

Saying that, he didn't dare to look back again, so he ran away, and the soles of his shoes seemed to be smeared with oil, and they were gone in a blink of an eye.

Wudao only felt a strong wind blowing beside him, and when he saw Mazi fleeing, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

At this moment, Wudao's right eyelid suddenly jumped, and he felt a chill. He immediately looked back, but where was the figure of Zi Ling in the same place?

However, this does not matter, and it does not prevent Wudao from discovering Zi Ling's movements, because a stunning and peerless woman like Zi Ling, once she appears in the crowd, there is no shortage of followers wherever she goes.

Wudao looked in the direction of the flow of people, and sure enough, he saw Zi Ling, but it was this glance that surprised him.

"How could it be him?" Wudao frowned and muttered.
