Next, Mu Wan opened the "Great Qin Mountain Sutra Commentary" and looked for the nearest town. She pondered, the yellow spring in the world is one. The legendary three thousand worlds all have a common intersection, that is, the underworld. Regardless of whether this is the Yanhua Realm or not, after the people here die, they will also return to the Netherworld. After running so far and not even figuring out where she was, maybe she could try to go through the underworld.

It's not like I haven't been to the underworld anyway. Moreover, when you get to the underworld, space can be opened. Xiangxiang they can also come out of the space. Perhaps, the smuggling trail at the bottom of the Lechuan River can still be used.

Well, there's a city god in the space! Doesn't it say that "the world is one family"? You might even get help from a local Chenghuang!

The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. Mu Wan quickly chose an old city called Yanli Castle. According to the map, it is only more than 150 miles away from here, built in the middle of the Great Qin, with a population of more than 10,000. The most important thing is that there is also a well-known Taoist temple in the city, which is built by the mountains and rivers, and is called the Flying Water Temple. According to the book, the incense is quite vigorous, and people in the neighborhood go to watch it and burn incense.

In such a place, there should be a city god.

Mu Wan put away the scrolls, took Gu Bai, set off overnight, and rushed to Yanli City in a hurry.

When Gu Bai heard that he had returned to the sect from the underworld under the Huangquan Dao from the City God Temple, he was so frightened that he raised his throat and eyes. At the same time, I yearn for it - this is a thrilling experience that even the mother has never had.

Ah, Sister Mu is so amazing! A fox squatted on the luggage rack and looked at Mu Wan's back with starry eyes.

Well, the book from more than ninety years ago is a bit unreliable. It was more than 150 miles that was promised, and it was only early the next morning that he arrived at the end of the day. In fact, she walked nearly two hundred miles! Also, there is some deviation in orientation.

In the morning glow, at the mouth of the narrow mountain pass, there stood a tattered wooden city gate, which was even more dilapidated than the city gate of Pingxi City. The gates were open, and there was not even a soldier guarding them.

Forget about the tattered, Mu Wanhu walked over suspiciously, stretched out her hand and tapped a wooden pillar - what do you think of this product. It's only a few decades old!

Centuries-old old town. Is it this virtue?

Taking a deep breath, she asked in a low voice, "Ah Bai, is there anything wrong in the city?" "In terms of physical fitness, the demon race is far stronger than the human race. The same spiritual power was sealed. Gu Bai's five senses were much sharper than hers.

"I'll go up there and take a look." Gu Bai swooped up the tattered city gates.

Sniffed vigorously towards the city. and looked around. After a while, he jumped down from the city gate, raised his head and replied, "Sister Mu." The city is clean and free of demonic spirits. I didn't feel the breath of a monster either. ”

Could it be that I'm thinking too much? Mu Wan was still a little uneasy, and waved his hand to signal Gu Bai to jump back to the luggage rack. She closed her five senses and walked slowly into the city gate.

People in the city wake up late. She walked around the city, and the streets gradually became crowded.

The whole city is dilapidated and small, and it does not look like an old city with a history of hundreds of years. Moreover, she did not find the flying water concept mentioned in the book. Judging by the location of the Formation Breaking Handprint, she also went to several places in the city where the City God Temple was most likely to be built, but found nothing.

Weird...... Mu Wan muttered in her heart.

At this time, she saw a well in front of her. Four or five men were talking and laughing and gathered at the well to wash vegetables and laundry.

After thinking about it, Mu Wan walked over and bowed in front of a middle-aged man with a loyal face: "Uncle, I'm a passerby." Can you borrow your ladle of water and draw some well water to drink? ”

The middle-aged man got up, quickly wiped his hands clean on his body, picked up the gourd water scoop beside him, and offered it with both hands: "Girl, please use it." ”

"Thank you!" Mu Wan also took it with both hands, and took the water ladle to the well to scoop water.

Another fat man who looked like a ball smiled and said, "Yo, what a handsome little girl! Where did you come from? ”

Mu Wan was originally to inquire about the news with them. Yes, she smiled: "Oh, I'm from Pingxi City." ”

"Pingxi City? Where? ”

"I haven't heard of it."

"I guess it's a long way away."

"No wonder you dress up weirdly......"

The rest of the men exchanged heads.

The fat man was quick-talked, and asked, "Girl, where is Pingxi City?" ”

Mu Wan's good-natured answer. After drinking the water, she squatted down to wash the water scoop, returned her hands to the middle-aged man, and thanked her again.

The latter was an honest man, his face flushed, and he said, "The girl is too polite." ”

"Girl, good Sven." The men at the well had a skyrocketing affection for her, and they talked more.

Soon, Mu Wan learned from them that Yanli City was indeed an old city with a history of hundreds of years. That's the old city, though.

The old city was destroyed in the flames of the previous dynasty. Many families fled, and those who remained moved more than 30 miles west to build a new city.

The new city is nowhere near as convenient as the old one. Because of this, the city of Iwali has fallen, and it has long ceased to be prosperous. Moreover, in the new city, every household believes in the Buddha. They don't know the Yellow Spring, they only know the Western Elysium. Take these men at the well as an example, they all believe that when they are alive, they should accumulate a lot of good deeds, so that they can go to the Western Polar World after death. And those who do evil will fall into the hell of Abi after death, and will never be able to turn over.

Ah, the Dao is ruined! Mu Wan was frightened when she heard this, said goodbye to the men, and rushed to the old city.

Decades have passed, but the old city is not even scum!

What Mu Wan saw was a valley with dense forests. Pulling out the weeds more than one person high, she found the post road of the year.

Is there still Huangquan Road? Mu Wan used the handprint of breaking the formation to calculate quickly. In the end, she worked out two possible directions.

However, after rummaging through those two places, she did not see any remnants of the Huangquan Well.

Even Huangquan Dao no longer exists, no wonder the people here only know about the Western Elysium! Mu Wan tried hard to recall what she saw along the way, and couldn't help but worry: along the way, she really hadn't seen a City God Temple!

How so! She settled down, opened the "Commentary on the Great Qin Mountain Sutra", and chose a larger town-Yong'an Mansion.

Yong'an Mansion is southeast of Yanli City, more than 90 miles away from here. According to the map, the Great Qin Dynasty set up a prefecture and county here, under the jurisdiction of five cities, and Yanli Town is one of them.

If even Yong'an Mansion can't find Huangquan Dao, then it means that after the war, Dong'an's Taoism has been lost. She's in a worrying situation.

Mu Wan shook her fists, took Gu Baixian back to Xincheng, bought two new clothes in a ready-to-wear shop, and then went to Yong'an Mansion - she was dressed as a Taoist priest. However, the men at the well whispered about her, dressed strangely. In order not to attract attention, she decided to follow the local customs, change her outfit, and dress up as a passing businessman.

In the evening, Mu Wan was dressed in the sunset and rushed to Yong'an Mansion.

Seeing the quaint blue brick city gate, she breathed a sigh of relief and read happily: "Thank God." ”

At the door was a group of young sergeants with halberds. Compared with Pingxi Mansion, they are obviously much more dedicated, and all ox carts and horse-drawn carts entering and leaving are all stopped, and they will only be released after inspection. And for those on foot, it is significantly looser.

Mu Wan hid in the small forest outside the city and watched from a distance for more than half an hour. During this time, the sergeants stopped only one person who was dressed differently. However, after cross-examination, he was quickly released.

Mu Wan secretly rejoiced: Thanks to me for changing my outfit.

Ordering Gu Bai to hide in the Li wooden frame, she straightened her clothes, walked out of the grove quickly, and blended in with the crowd entering the city.

As she passed the city gates, the eyes of the sergeants swept over her.

So, Mu Wan entered the city smoothly.

However, when she saw the situation in front of her, her heart immediately turned cold - in the city, almost all the buildings were hung with small colorful cloth flags. In the evening, the wind rose. They flutter in the wind and make a "whooshing" sound.

In her previous life, she had been to the temple and knew what these little colorful flags were. Colorful prayer flags! Believers are convinced that the wind blowing prayer flags and making a rattling sound is as effective as chanting the sutras, and it can also ward off disasters and keep families safe.

Did the people of the city believe in the Buddha? Mu Wan found a secluded place and instructed Gu Bai to check if there were any foreign objects in the city. At the same time, cast the Formation Breaking Handprint to find a cold place.

Gu Bai jumped on a tall tree, took a serious look, and came back to report: there is nothing wrong.

And Mu Wan has already deduced three places that may build a city god.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not too late, she took Gu Bai to hurriedly go over to inspect.

In two of the three places, there are houses with colorful prayer flags, and one is planted with an ancient tree that can only be hugged by several people.

At this time, night falls, and a full moon climbs into the night sky

As in the Great Zhou, there was a curfew in the city. There was not a single pedestrian on the road. Heavily armed sergeants patrol the city in teams of five.

Mu Wan was also tired, so she jumped up to the treetops and hid in the thick canopy.

The city is lit up in the night, and it is silent.

Gu Bai squatted beside her worriedly, lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Mu, this place is also disconnected from Huangquan Dao, right?" ”

The temples on both sides ached faintly, Mu Wan sighed, took out the wolf skin water bladder, raised his head and poured a large mouthful of water, and responded: "Hmm." It seems that we still have to go to the three mountains to the east. Now, although she is unwilling, she has to admit this cruel reality: the extinction of the Dao system here. It is completely impossible to take the Yellow Springs route!

Gu Bai muttered: "Obviously, the previous dynasty still took Taoism as the state religion, and it has only been a few decades, how can Taoism be completely broken here?" It's so weird......"

At this moment, Mu Wan saw that in front of her, there were two black shadows cautiously walking towards this side in the dark.

"Shh She motioned for Gu Bai to silence.

One person and one fox were condescending, staring at the two black shadows that were gradually moving away.

That's an old and a young. The old man was a gray-haired man, with a slight back, and looked to be seventy or eighty years old; He was supported by a young woman, in her early twenties, in good health. She carried a small burden in her other hand and looked around alertly.

Soon, the two stood still in front of the ancient tree.
