Following the direction pointed by the old man with the stick, Shen An and Wei Feihua walked with difficulty on the hillside. The Gobi beach and cultivated land at the foot are barren, which is not at all like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River in the territory of Xianling.

This is indeed not a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, no wonder the people of the Demon Domain abandoned this land so happily back then.

"Do you know the missing Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Zhou?" Because Shen An and Wei Feihua were all in the foundation building period, they could not use the sword to fly, so they could only slowly climb up the hill with their feet. Shen An decided to ask about the two missing monks first.

"Senior Brother Zhou is good, his spells are strong, and Geng Jie is upright, but he is arrogant, or his temperament is too strong...... Wei Feihua smiled bitterly: "Although we immortal cultivators should be clean and self-conscious, and do not seek to be heard, but the times have changed a long time ago, and now it is no longer the era when we can seek the Tao of Flying Immortals by ourselves......"

"So, Senior Brother Zhou, who is not social, was demoted here?" Seeing that Wei Feihua was silent and acquiesced, Shen An nodded and asked, "What about Senior Brother Ma?" ”

Wei Feihua pondered for a moment, as if considering how to speak: "Senior Brother Ma...... He is not a disciple who was selected, he is a distant relative of the Tiebi Ma family, in fact, this time Senior Brother Ma originally came over with another disciple of the acquired period, but because Senior Brother Ma's ability is really poor, he sent Senior Brother Zhou from the foundation building period to come with him. ”

"And ...... Although it is not allowed to gossip about others...... But ......"

"It's just you and me here, but it's okay." Seeing that Wei Feihua hesitated and refused to speak, Shen An urged.

Wei Feihua bit her lip, and seemed to have made up her mind: "Senior Brother Ma, his character is not good, it seems that he was sent to the Su family because he caused trouble in the Ma family......

Seeing that Wei Feihua fell silent again, Shen An frowned and asked, "Isn't everyone in the Ma family going to accept it all these years?" What is it that is so strict that he would push his own disciples out? ”

Wei Feihua's face turned red: "I'm a girl, it's hard to say." ”

It seems that he has caused a romantic affair, Shen Anxin sneered: What kind of rotten wood and waste firewood are sent to the Su family, and the Su family, who is a good hand, is being bullied like this now?

In the previous life, after Su Wuwu became a monk, the Su family was torn apart, like a plate of scattered sand. It's not a strange thing to think about now. A good disciple was sent to this kind of wilderness to spend his life in vain because of his "arrogant temperament". Other people's eight scoundrels are quite diligent. No wonder the Su family is in dilapse so quickly, so disciplining the disciples below, of course, one generation is not as good as the next.

The two chatted about the current situation of the Su family, and before they knew it, they reached the top of the hill. Looking down, on the back side of the mountain, I saw a small grass hut, leaning alone against a dead wooden stake, like a man who shrunk and didn't know how to stand. Because there is no outsider Kuang Zheng, he uses this peculiar posture to leave the world and become independent.

Wei Feihuaxiu frowned, and was secretly shocked in his heart: How can this kind of place live in people?

The two walked slowly down a path. It was so quiet that the only sound of the wind blowing through the dunes was the only sound.

"Is anyone there?" Wei Feihua shouted loudly.

No response.

The two of them walked to the door of the hut - it could not even be called a door, but a dirty curtain hung on the edge of the door. Wei Feihua inspected the surroundings, except for the scattered weeds scattered on the ground, that is, the wooden stakes attached to the grass house were nailed straight to the ground.

"We are disciples of the Su family, the magic hand of the Spirit Immortal Realm. Is Miss Zhao Hu there? ”

Seeing that no one answered the "door", Wei Feihua was still hesitating, but Shen An stepped into the room with one foot.

Inside the room sat a girl, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

When Wei Feihua saw this girl, her first reaction was that she didn't look like a "vixen" at all.

The girl's eyes as she looked at the two of them were not at all seductive vixens, but like frightened rabbits.

However, the panic in the girl's eyes flashed, and her expression immediately became cold and silent.

The girl doesn't look like a seductive vixen either. She looked like she was about thirteen or fourteen, her skin was yellow and hungry, her hair was unkempt, her clothes were open several times and she didn't sew them, and the skin under the plain cloth was greatly exposed.

No, there was no one to sew for her, and no one to teach her to sew.

The girl looked straight ahead, but did not look at Shen An and Wei Feihua, and quietly complained about her uneasiness with a slightly stiff body.

Looking at the girl in front of her, Wei Feihua thought of her sister in the Wei family, and her heart ached.

"You are Zhao Hu?" Shen An asked.

The girl's eyes glanced at him and nodded sly.

Shen An leaned forward slightly, and the girl suddenly shrank back from the bed like a frightened bird.

Shen An paused, and suddenly said, "Senior Sister Wei, you can talk to her, I'll wait for you outside." ”

Without waiting for Wei Feihua to speak, Shen An lifted the door cloth and walked out. The moment before stepping out of the house, he suddenly turned to Zhao Hu and said, "By the way, the boy of the An family, a child named An Puyu, you saw him five days ago." ”

The girl looked up at him with a look of surprise on her face, stunned for a moment, and nodded her head lightly.

Shen An continued: "He started having a high fever five days ago, but don't worry, I'll cure him. ”

================================================================================

Outside the house, Shen An squatted on the ground and examined the "wooden stakes" - or "tombstones", bowing his head and thinking secretly.

I was in a hurry just now, but I didn't realize that there was a "tombstone" made of wooden stakes in front of me. This should be the monument of the old man Zhao who took care of Zhao Hu.

After death, if a person has an obsession and is unwilling to devote himself to reincarnation, even if the three souls and six spirits are taken away by the bull's head and horse face, there will always be some thoughts that will be connected to the physical body and cannot be eliminated. Even if the body is completely corrupted in the future, it will possess other spiritual creatures. After thousands of years, if you are lucky, you may be able to cultivate a new lonely soul and wild ghost.

Shen An probed the wooden stake intently, and there was not the slightest anger inside, which is why Shen An didn't realize that this was a tombstone just now.

There is no trace of the three souls and seven spirits, and it seems that they are walking quite chicly.

Old man Zhao is so relieved that Zhao Hu lives alone in the world without any concern?

Shen An frowned: Senior Brother Zhou, who has a crazy temperament, Senior Brother Ma, who was relegated to the border because of the peach-colored scandal, villagers who keep disappearing, a frightened girl, and Su Wuwu, who has not found out the truth for a long time......

and the miasma-filled forests in the distance......

Shen An already had a puzzle piece faintly in his mind.

However, he lacks evidence.

Shen An was thinking about how to move next, Wei Feihua walked out of the grass hut, and a small vest was missing, which should have been taken off and given to Zhao Hu's child to wear.

"Did she say anything to you?" Shen An stepped forward and hurriedly asked.

"She said she didn't know where the missing people had gone." Wei Feihua's face turned pale: "There are still ...... She said...... She hopes that everyone else in the village except for An's mother and son will die......"

Wei Feihua sighed: "No matter how I ask next, she doesn't want to speak......"

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Feihua said again: "Senior Brother Shen, I heard that you can 'contemplate the mind and discern'?" Can you use this method to find out what the child is thinking? ”

"Even if I use 'contemplative discernment,' I can't see anything." Shen An smiled softly: "Because to her, I am an enemy." She wouldn't even speak to me, and her consciousness wouldn't open up to me. ”

"Senior Brother Shen, did you bring me out because I was a woman?" Wei Feihua's face was full of concern and unbearable: "Because that child seems to be ......"

"I brought you here because you are careful and serious." Thinking of Zhu Feizhen, who was not serious from beginning to end, Shen An said with a solemn face: "The problem we are facing now is not how to 'solve'...... It's how to 'deal with it'. ”
