When Bai Zhenzhen saw the woman, she ran over excitedly, hugged the woman's thigh, and said happily: "Mother, I picked up a lot of mushrooms." ”

The woman didn't pay attention to her, but looked at Tang Bai and Xu Xiaosan with some vigilance: "Who are the two of you?

Tang Bai said: "My sister and brother came from Xiaoyue Wolf City, and lived here, my sister occasionally contracted a cold on the road, and met Xiao Zhenzhen in the small hill, so I followed, hoping that my sister-in-law would give a place to stay, and after my sister recovered, we left." After speaking, seeing that the woman looked embarrassed, she said, "Don't worry, the money for food and lodging will not be less than you." ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said: "Little brother, you misunderstood, I don't hide it, my husband went to the mountains to hunt last year, and was bitten to death by the evil tiger in the mountains. After speaking, he groaned for a while, and then said: "There is an abandoned yard on the other side of the old house, and you can still live in it, if your sister and brother don't dislike it, I'll take you there, take the bedding and things from me first, three meals a day, I asked Xiaozhen to help you send it over, what do you think is the arrangement?"

In other words, there is no room for negotiation, not to mention that Tang Bai only needs a place to stay, hidden in this small village to heal and remove evil;

The old house was not very far from Xiaozhen's house, and the four of them were holding broom ash buckets, and they said as they walked, and in less than a pillar of incense, a half-collapsed compound appeared in front of the four people.

The dilapidated courtyard wall is surrounded by wattle vines, the corners of the wall can be seen moss green, the cracks are accompanied by dead grass, and the courtyard gate is only a door frame, and most of it is hollowed out by insects and ants; in the courtyard gate, weeds are everywhere, and rats are running around, and there are two wings on the east side, and two columns support the roof, although it is a little dilapidated, but it looks like it can still live in.

In front of the wing, there was a row of tattered steps, and a young man in a white shirt, handsome, about eleven or twelve years old, was staring intently at the corner.

When Xiao Zhen saw the white-shirted young man, she called 'Brother Xiao Ming', and ran over excitedly, with her hands on her waist, looking like a little adult, and said seriously: "Brother Xiao Ming, why are you here again, if you let the aunt know, I will whip you with a rattan again." ”

The young man didn't move as if he hadn't heard, Tang Bai walked over, followed Xiao Ming's eyes, and saw a team of yellow ants and a team of black ants fighting there for a grain of rice, which was difficult to solve, and both sides were killed and injured.

"The master said, 'Things move their hearts, their hearts move their minds, their intentions are determined to do their actions, and their actions are deadly', this little ant, his life is extremely short, his strength is extremely weak, and his self-preservation is still flawless, but for the sake of food, he still kills each other, fights, breaks his teeth and feet, how much can he live, but in order to survive, who can say whether it is right or wrong!" The young man in white shirt seemed to mutter, and seemed to ask Tang Bai.

Tang Bai was stunned for a while, this little boy spoke amazingly, although his meaning was simple, but it was deeply reasonable; he didn't know how to answer for a while; but Bai Zhenzhen, who was standing on the side, was giggling and said: "If they don't fight or grab, they can eat and drink enough every day, wouldn't they all be lazy and lazy, and my mother said that lazy people are the most hated people in the world." ”

While talking, the woman and Xu Xiaosan also walked over, and the woman said: "Bai Xiaoming, you don't study in the school, what are you doing here?" ”

When Bai Xiaoming saw the woman, he seemed to be a little scared, and hurriedly stood up, his eyes dodged, not daring to look directly at the woman, and then called his aunt, standing aside with some cringe.

But Xu Xiaosan sighed lightly, she felt that Bai Xiaoming's breathing was a little abnormal, sometimes thin and sometimes thick, sometimes long, sometimes short and rough, one exhalation and one inhalation, very regular, it is a clever way to practice spitting.

She reached out and pointed towards Bai Xiaoming, but she didn't want Bai Xiaoming to react very quickly, and wanted to dodge to the right.

Xu Xiaosan's technique changed, Bai Xiaoming didn't react, the slender white fingers had been pointed at his 'Baihui, Dadu, Taichong, Renzhong, Sanyin Jiao Acupoints, Shaoshang, Jiquan' and other acupuncture points, only to feel that the root bone of the young man in front of him was rare for a thousand years, it was the body of the fairy spirit in the legendary practice, and there was a strange energy in his body that seemed to be like a Buddha and a Tao, Xu Xiaosan secretly said in his heart: "The master in his mouth seems to be also a cultivator, hidden in this small mountain village, I don't know what the purpose is." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Bai Xiaoming, can you take us to meet your master." ”

Before Bai Xiaoming could speak, the woman said, "That guy is a strange person, and he doesn't interact with outsiders at all. After speaking, he paused, and said thoughtfully: "However, he seems to have some medical skills, and he may be able to cure your wind and cold, but I don't know if he is in that broken Dao temple now." ”

The woman began to think that Xu Xiaosan wanted to teach Bai Xiaosan a lesson, and she was about to say something, but when she saw that the other party clicked a few times, she didn't pay attention to it.

Bai Xiaoming said honestly: "The master went to collect medicine, and he was not in the view." ”

The woman said, "Do you know when you can come back?"

Bai Xiaoming shook his head and said, "Half a month when it's fast, half a month when it's slow, Shizun's whereabouts are impermanent, and I often can't see him." ”

The woman said: "Forget it! Forget it! If you don't have it, you won't be there, a little wind and cold, hold on for a while, and it will be fine; let's clean up the side room first, don't look at the sky is still early, but this time passes in the blink of an eye, and we can't do much in a day." After saying that, he led into the wing, rolled up his sleeves, and cleaned up.

The room is cleaner than expected, and when you clean it up, in addition to some musty smell, you can also live in it.

Tang Bai took out some silver money from the purple gold ring and bought some daily necessities from the village, because of his generosity, the villagers were very enthusiastic and came to help, and at the end of the day, even the weeds in the courtyard were cleared.

The wing room was smoked with Cordyceps repellent for a long time, and wooden beds, quilts, tables and chairs, oil lamps were added, and on the side of the wing room, a simple stove room was built, and some daily necessities, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, noodles, wine, meat, pots and pans were not lacking, and it looked like a simple home.

After dark, the villagers prepared a meal for them, and then they all went home, Tang Bai and Xu Xiaosan each lived in a side room, and they were in different moods.

Xu Xiaosan grew up in the Dayan Sect since he was a child, there is no shortage of life, there is a way in his heart, he only seeks to achieve success in cultivation, rarely pays attention to these trivial matters of life, and has little contact with secular people, but at the end of this day, he sees that the villagers are simple and kind, hospitable, and people in the practice are wary everywhere, and they are completely opposite, and for a while, they only feel that the whole body is indescribably relaxed, and the mind is quieter and more peaceful than ever, and when meditating on the wooden bed cross-legged, the thoughts are extremely pure. However, Tang Bai was in a state of confusion, feeling homesick for a while, thinking back to Liancheng, and feeling sweet and dense, and feeling even more sour, wanting to go back to Liancheng, but not knowing the way home; only felt that his chest was dull, like being pressed on a big stone, and it was extremely uncomfortable; he was lying cross-legged on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed, but all kinds of pictures appeared in his mind, chaotic, difficult to settle, and he was in danger of going crazy; he couldn't help but sigh lightly, opened his eyes, got off the wooden bed, opened the door, sat on the broken steps, looked at the sparse stars in the sky, and the whole person melted into the darkness.

At about two o'clock, the stars disappeared, the night was as cold as water, the heavens and the earth became darker, and the surroundings were even more silent, as if the whole world was still.

Suddenly there was a thunderclap, a silver light flashed in the sky, and the wind and rain were coming, and there was a sense of slaughter around him.

Tang Bai woke up from his contemplation, and there was a sense of nervousness in his heart for no reason, and with the flash of lightning, he couldn't help but look up at Baijia Village, and found that there was a small piece of black mist in the sky above the village at some point, and a palpitating dead air emanated from the black mist.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with lightning, the darkness around him was gone, the black mist was like glass, and the scene inside was in full view; he saw a feminine man, floating in the air, holding a long black banner in his hand, on which some strange patterns were drawn, constantly waving; some faint figures, like puppets, flew up from all directions, and kept pouring into the black flag.

"Oh no, something happened!"

Tang Bai stood up from the steps, his heart became angry, a murderous aura filled his body, the killing intent was like a tide, spreading to the surroundings, his heart moved, the kitchen knife was in his hand, and he wanted to run towards the black clouds in the village. But he heard a 'squeak', the door opened, Xu Xiaosan walked out of the wing, looked at Tang Bai by the light of the oil lamp and asked, "What happened? ”

"There is a devil entering the village, and the villagers are in danger. When the words fell, Tang Bai had already leaped out of the wreckage, and rushed straight into the black mist not far away, as soon as he approached, a cold aura rushed to his face, but he didn't think about it at all, and a move 'Dao Divides Yin and Yang' went straight towards the feminine man in the black mist.

Unexpectedly, the knife is like lightning, this knife he is already very familiar with, after the Qingqiu Mountain Range has realized the changes of yin and yang, he has long been not confined to the previous moves, but the power is more than before, and it is impermanent.

The feminine man didn't want to break out of the way halfway, he made a light 'huh', hurriedly met the knife with one finger, and the black mist around him gathered sharply on his fingertips, forming a thick 'black wall', which resisted the knife and stalemate with each other for a while, Tang Bai's indestructible knife suddenly disappeared without a trace like a cow in a quagmire.

The feminine man was stunned for a moment, and then a sarcastic smile fell on his face, and said: "I thought it was a Jindan powerhouse, but a real little monk dared to stand in the way, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”

After speaking, the black mist dispersed, and a cold and biting cold air instantly poured into Tang Bai's body, making his whole person as if he was frozen, unable to move his limbs;

At the moment of crisis, Tang Bai hurriedly ran the Nine Mind Changing Technique from the Fire Movement, a stream of heat from the dantian filled the whole body, and when there was no time to delay, his body dodged to the left, and then waved his hand, from the bottom to the top, straight towards the opponent's forearm.

This knife was unexpected, extremely fast, and the position was tricky, Xiao is feminine man reacted very quickly, and he was also cut by a long wound with a kitchen knife, and blood flowed on his arm.
