Regardless of the reason for the failure of the stealth technique, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach to find a reason: "We have a friend who is missing, and it is dark, so we found this place by looking for it." ”

The eldest lady didn't seem to think that our reason was far-fetched, but thought deeply: "There are many mountains and trees here, and there are many roads, so it's easy to get lost." It's just that we haven't heard of any lost people in our village coming here today. You'd better look elsewhere. Outsiders are not welcome here. It's good that I saw you, and when our elders saw you, we would be in trouble. Come on. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed me and the white fox with both hands and took them out of the village. The corners of the white fox's mouth twitched anxiously, and he was about to break free from the eldest mother's hand. I broke free first: "Auntie." We couldn't find our way back. Can you spend the night in the village? Leave tomorrow?"

When the eldest lady heard this, she waved her hand vigorously: "No, no." We don't accept outsiders here. ”

"Auntie, it's so dark outside, except for us here, there are jackals, tigers, leopards, mountain forests, beasts or something. We might be dead when we go out. You can take us in for the night. ”

The eldest lady hesitated for the first time: "This 。。。。。 ”

Seeing this, the white fox also joined the ranks of coquettish: "Auntie, you are so kind-hearted, you must take us in." You can't watch a young man like us die in the woods!"

The eldest lady seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Okay." You will live in my house. However, get up at five o'clock tomorrow on time, and leave while no one from the village has appeared. ”

As long as we can stay and look for Ling'er, we don't care about anything else. So, without even thinking about it, the white fox and I promised "Okay, thank you, auntie." ”

The building here is a stilted building, and the beds are mostly made of bamboo. Lying on it is not as soft as a Simmons mattress in the city, but it is not as hard as stone.

The eldest lady very enthusiastically brought us a quilt and spread it underneath: "You look like a student in the city, and you can't get used to sleeping on our bamboo hard bed." This is a quilt made of new cotton this year, spread soft underneath. ”

"Thank you, auntie. ”

The eldest lady looked at the weather outside, and then solemnly told us: "Don't go out at night, otherwise you will definitely be discovered." ”

It's a little strange to hear her say that. Why do you say that you will be discovered as soon as you go out? The white fox has the same question as me: "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

The eldest lady looked left and right, and lowered her voice extremely carefully: "There is a big event in our village today. The patriarch and the elders summoned all the villagers to the center of the village at eleven o'clock in the evening to observe the inauguration ceremony of the Holy Maiden. So..... Speaking of this, the eldest lady did not say any more, but looked at us with a smile: "You guys should rest early." I put the tea on the table. ”

With that, the eldest lady closed the door and walked out.

"Looks like I guessed right, this is the territory of the Wicans. Ling'er was captured by the Wu Clan and returned to serve as a saint. ”

The white fox's worried expression calmed down when he heard this. After all, Ling'er, the representative of the Holy Maiden, was only temporarily trapped and did not encounter a danger to her life. All we have to do is take the opportunity to rescue Ling'er.

The only thing that makes us jealous now is that we don't know how many people with the strength of the Jindan Realm are here. If it is conservatively estimated, the one who abducted Ling'er will be counted as one. There are also their witch clan guardian Gu Spirit Flower Mother-in-law, as well as the animal Gu Guardian Gu Spirit who did not show up, and they are also counted as one.

In the end, there are at least three people equivalent to the Jindan realm. One of the white foxes and I is refining the gods and returning to the void realm, and the other has just reached the realm of refining qi and transforming the gods.

What's more, there are five elders of the Wu Clan, and they must not be at a low level, and the two of us are definitely not their opponents. Therefore, you can only outwit and not fight.

Having made up our minds, the white fox and I locked the door from the house. In one move, take two handfuls of straw from the grass outside, bundle them into two miniature versions of the scarecrow, and then paste two stand-ins on the scarecrow. Pinching the trick and reciting the mantra, soon there were two identical me and the white fox lying on the bed.

Just in case, I picked the green leaves of two identical trees and performed a trick to monitor the sounds in the room. Make sure that if there is an emergency, we will come back immediately, and the eldest lady will not find out that the two of us are strange.

Knowing that this is a village of the Wu Clan, I know the reason why the invisibility spell failed just now. This must have been an enchantment that was used by the master to restrain the concealment spell in order to prevent the enemy from invading. That's why the invisibility spell of me and the white fox will lose its effectiveness as soon as we enter the village. was seen by the eldest lady at a glance.

Because of this trouble, when looking for Ling'er, we must always be wary of the people around us. Because the eldest mother said that there will be an inauguration ceremony for the saint tonight. The inhabitants of the village must be extra vigilant.

The Wu village is different from other mountain villages. is an ordinary person like a mother, and she is also a little cultivated. There will be one or two kinds of Gu magic and witchcraft.

If one is not careful, they will be discovered or even besieged, so they must be careful and careful. With the help of the night, the white fox and I walked very softly, and kept walking against the wall at the back of the stilted building.

If I remember correctly, the eldest lady said that the ceremony was held in the middle of the village. We didn't have to look around, we just went to the middle of the village and waited for the rabbits. Nine times out of ten, Ling'er is there.

It's just that although the distance to the center of the village is only about a kilometer, it is not so easy. There are too many Wicans along the way. Faintly, you can still feel a trace of mana fluctuations. It must be some of the inhabitants who are practicing witchcraft and Gu magic. Therefore, we dare not rashly use spells to rush away. I didn't dare to make a fuss. I can only tiptoe forward. Every once in a while, a few patrolling residents will walk through the building. It makes our hearts pound. Hiding in a corner and not daring to move.

The distance of a thousand meters was like a marathon for us, and it took half an hour to reach the center of the village.

The white fox and I hid in a large tree with dense foliage and branches. Stared at the center of the village for a long time. It is a square with nothing but five stones and two statues.

But I don't think it's an ordinary square. Because of that strong magic circle fluctuation, it has been spread for a long time. It made my heart beat faster and my whole body felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.

Tianyan opened it without hesitation, and immediately saw the two statues clearly. One is a thorn flower with entwined branches and blooming flowers. The spikes all around the body come to life and are ready to come to life. The flowers blooming on the edge of the thorns are gorgeous and dazzling, revealing a sense of strangeness.

The other statue is a golden cicada.
