Minglian heard Li Sanqi's shout, put down the task in her hand, raised her head to look at Li Sanqi, and asked, "What task!"

Li Sanqi naturally pulled Minglian's hand up, and Minglian didn't resist, so she let Li Sanqi lead her and walked outside, saying as she walked: "It's a very simple task, let's talk while walking on the road!"

The two went straight out of the city and headed in the direction of Guicun. As soon as the two of them left the city, two people came out from behind and looked at Li Sanqi and them. One of them said, "You go and tell the second son, I'll continue to watch!" and the other nodded and left the place.

As soon as she left the city, Minglian said to Li Sanqi: "Tell me what task you want!"

Li Sanqi said with a smile: "It's an investigation mission. ”

Hearing this, Minglian's face changed, she looked at Li Sanqi with heavy eyes, and asked in a serious tone, "It can't be the Guicun investigation mission, right?"

Li Sanqi tilted his head sideways, sighed, and said in surprise: "You know too?"

Minglian looked at Li Sanqi's reaction, couldn't help patting her forehead, smiled bitterly, stared at Li Sanqi with her eyes and said: "This task is in Tunxi District, but it is very famous, because it is simple, but this task cannot be completed, and there are a few people who lost their lives in vain, causing others to dare not take it, I didn't expect you to be good, the first time you took the task, you took this task." ”

Li Sanqi looked at Minglian, who was very speechless, and said with a slight smile on his face: "It's a very simple task! It's okay, if we can't complete it, we can safely retreat back with our strength." ”

Minglian sighed and reluctantly accepted the decision. only blamed himself for not telling Li Sanqi in advance, which led to his next. Now that the wood has been completed, then the troops will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it! As long as we are careful, we should be fine! Minglian constantly comforts herself, in order to ask God to bless herself.

Minglian's face crossed a trace of helplessness, her mouth was also bitter, and she said weakly: "Let's go! I hope we can rush to Guicun tonight, and we can ask about the situation!"

"Let's go!" Li Sanqi shouted violently and took the lead in speeding up. Minglian also whispered and followed behind Li Sanqi.

Finally, when the sun was setting, the two rushed to Gui Village. The two wiped the sweat from their foreheads and looked at Guicun at the setting sunset. I found that Gui Village was bleak, it was already evening, but there was not much smoke curling.

On either side of the road, there are not many children playing. Occasionally, I saw one or two children playing on the road, and before a while, they were beaten and scolded by their parents and went back. As soon as he entered the house, he slammed the door shut.

On both sides of the road, there are adults who have not returned. Looking up at the sunset, his expression couldn't help but change sharply, his steps also accelerated, and he rushed in the direction of home in a panic.

Li Sanqi stopped one person curiously, but he didn't ask a question. The man left quickly, and there was no chance for Li Sanqi to ask.

Li Sanqi and Minglian glanced at each other a few times. Li Sanqi showed a serious expression on his face and said, "It seems that this matter is not simple!"

Minglian glanced at Li Sanqi angrily and said, "Nonsense, are you blind to me?" The situation in Guicun is in front of me, and I don't know the seriousness of the matter. ”

Li Sanqi nodded and continued to look at Guicun. At this time, most of the sun has already set on the mountain, and the sky is only a little bright under the sunset. However, Gui Village was dark, and only a few people's lights flickered in the air for a while, and then disappeared in the air!

Li Sanqi looked at this time and saw a house brightly lit, like daylight. Li Sanqi's heart moved, and said: "Since we have come here, then we can't sit idly by, let's enter the village and ask about the situation, right?"

"Let's go!" Minglian had no choice but to nod in agreement!

As soon as he stepped into the village, Li Sanqi's heart jumped, and his face was also very suspicious. Minglian noticed Li Sanqi's abnormal expression, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Li Sanqi's eyes widened, and he replied blankly: "I don't know what's wrong, as soon as I stepped into this village, I felt the excitement in my heart, and I wanted to integrate here, as if this place was my home before!"

Minglian lowered her head and said, "Have you been here before?"

Li Sanqi shook his head with certainty and said, "I'm pretty sure I didn't come here, and it's the first time I've come here?" Li Sanqi glanced up, getting closer and closer to the brightly lit room, Li Sanqi said: "Regardless of it, let's investigate the situation!"

Minglian's lips moved, wanting to speak, but she didn't say it, and silently followed behind Li Sanqi.

When Li Sanqi and Minglian came to this house, they found a white-haired old woman sitting at the door, her head tilted to the side, leaning against the wall, her crutches on her legs, her eyes staring into the distance, and she did not speak.

Li Sanqi bent down and looked at the old woman, and what he found in her eyes were all memories and stories. Li Sanqi sighed silently:

As far as the eye can see, there are memories.

Whatever the heart thinks is the past.

Whatever you hear, it's a pity.

The old woman's ears moved unconsciously, her body trembled slightly, her eyes regained some brilliance, and her lips moved!

When these words came out of Li Sanqi's mouth, Li Sanqi's body shook, and the Xuan Qi burst out like nothing and quickly disappeared! Li Sanqi sighed lightly, and was promoted from a one-star low-level Xuanshi to a two-star low-level Xuanshi!

Minglian heard Li Sanqi muttering to herself, and her whole body was shocked, and her eyes were full of disbelief. Minglian swept Li Sanqi's body up and down, wanting to take a serious look from the inside out. In just a few sentences, the rest of the old woman's life is clearly summarized.

Li Sanqi asked softly, "Grandma, it's so late, why don't you go back to rest?"

The old woman's eyes rolled a little, showed a charitable smile, and with a few remaining teeth, she said, "You are old! You don't look like the locals, do you have something to do here?"

Li Sanqi told the old woman all the causes and consequences of coming here.

The old woman stood up tremblingly with her hands, which were as old as branches, and on crutches, and said, "Son, go in and speak, it's windy outside." With that, he turned and walked in.

Li Sanqi was about to help the old woman in, but she didn't expect to be rejected by the old woman. The old woman smiled and said, "Although I am old, my body is still very strong. I don't need your help. Li Sanqi had no choice but to give up, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground was heard in the air from time to time.

Li Sanqi and Minglian had no choice but to follow the old woman and slowly walked into the living room. The old woman sat them down, made a pot of tea for them, and said, "It's a long story, let me tell you slowly!"

The old woman sat in a chair, her hands on crutches, although her eyes were cloudy, her eyes could reach the bottom of her heart, the old woman continued to open the chatterbox, and said: "Anyway, three months ago, the people in the village died suddenly, and he died very strangely, covered with skin and bones, without a trace of flesh and blood, and his body was as light as a feather. Then, one after another, this kind of thing happened! We also invited many strong people, but there was still no clue. As a result, the strong people and some wealthy people in this village have moved out, and only the helpless old people, women and children, and some people who are reluctant to leave here are left here. ”

When the old woman finished speaking, she yawned, got up, and said, "I have said everything that needs to be said, my wife, I am sleepy, and I am going to rest." If you rest here tonight, find an empty house and spend the night!"

After the old woman left, Minglian said: "This thing, why is it so evil, it won't meet ghosts!"

Li Sanqi thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It's not a ghost, it's man-made." I've had the same thing happen before!"

"Oh!" Minglian asked. Li Sanqi told Minglian what happened before. After hearing this, Minglian thought for a long time and said, "You mean, they are a group of people who have practiced evil exercises, and the death in the village is the result of their practice. ”

"If my guess is right, nine times out of ten this is the case!" Li Sanqi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said exactly.

Minglian was furious all of a sudden, and said angrily: "How can there be such an incomparably evil practice in the world, if you touch me, you must break them into thousands of pieces to repay their spirits in the sky." ”

Li Sanqi didn't speak, and quietly watched Minglian getting angry. In fact, he has always had a question in his heart. This Gui Village is just an ordinary village, there are no cultivators at all, why would they devour these ordinary people? A hundred ordinary people are probably not as good as a cultivator. No, there must be a problem here, but why can't I figure it out, what is wrong here?

Li Sanqi rubbed his temples in pain, and his hand kept tapping on the table. Also, why did I come here and feel at home? Why did I feel at home when I saw the land, the buildings, and the people here? What secrets are hidden here?

Minglian, who finished venting, finally calmed down. looked at Li Sanqi, who was thinking and extremely troubled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Sanqi picked up the tea on the table and drank it all. I suppressed all these doubts in my heart, and I don't need to think about them for the time being. said to Minglian: "It's getting late, let's not go find a place to rest!"

After a day's journey, Minglian heard Li Sanqi say this. Suddenly, feeling sleepy, he opened his hands, stretched his waist, and said extremely sleepily: "Sleep, I'm also sleepy, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Well, good night!" Li Sanqi arrived at good night, found a room with Minglian, and fell asleep.

However, Li Sanqi was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. After a long time, Li Sanqi fell asleep groggily, and the snoring sounded!
