Sitting north to south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, a small river that is neither wide nor narrow flows down from the middle of the valley, turns at the mouth of the valley and goes east. The mouth of the valley is located at the southernmost point and is relatively narrow, which protects everything in the valley well, and if it is not too far from the city and is located deep in the mountains, it is definitely an ideal place to live with great popularity.

As soon as they entered the valley, the two of them saw the farmland cultivated on the gentle slopes of the mountains, as well as the villages built on higher ground, several villagers were busy in the fields, and two children about four or five years old were playing on the ridges, helping the adults in the fields from time to time to do what they could.

Standing in the shade of an inconspicuous tree, carefully looking at the situation in the valley, Yu Chen glanced at Li Qingyu suspiciously, and felt that it didn't look like there was a spiritual force here.

Li Qingyu also felt very strange, she obviously knew that this was a spiritual sect residence based on the feedback from those trees, but why did she see such a scene after coming in?

"Could it be covered up by a spirit array, so we can't see it?" She came up with a hypothesis.

Yu Chen thought about it, glanced at the scene in the valley again, and felt that this possibility was not impossible. If he is the head of a small sect, in such an area full of bandit spirituality, if he wants to survive, he will definitely hide the mountain gate tightly, if he accidentally attracts concern, it is not fun.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's go in first, let's pretend to be an ordinary person passing by, if you don't have spiritual practice, just find a random family to stay for the night, anyway, it's not too early, even if you hurry, you can't go far; If there is a devotional, then act according to the previous plan. ”

"Okay, let's do it."

The two immediately changed out of the conspicuous clothes on their bodies, pretending to be ordinary people with slightly better net worth, Yu Chen also deliberately collapsed a burden on his body, these were all prepared when he was in Xiangcheng, after all, it was not the first time for the two of them to pretend to be ordinary people, they were quite experienced, and at first glance there was no flaw.

The two of them walked slowly towards the small village.

The villagers who were busy in the fields soon discovered the two men, and a woman hurriedly called her son to her side and said something, and then saw the child running quickly over the village, and disappeared after a while, probably to call someone, and a man in another field rubbed his mud-stained hands on his body and greeted them.

"Is there anything you need help with?"

The man's accent with local characteristics almost made Li Qingyu not understand what he said, but Yu Chen understood, and hurriedly replied: "My sister and I went to Zhaoyang Mansion to visit relatives, passing by here, I saw a stone tablet engraved with a name outside, and I knew that there were people here, so I came in to take a look." ”

Hearing him say something with a Lucheng accent, Li Qingyu felt weird, and glanced up at him, but after a glance, he returned his gaze to the man in front of him.

"Oh, it turned out to be passing by, but there is no inn in our village, if you want to spend the night, it is recommended to go to Qilin Town, not far to the west, where you can stay in a hotel, and it is too late to rush over." spoke unceremoniously, without the slightest simplicity that a countryman should have, and made it clear that they were not welcome, as if he wished that the two of them would leave quickly.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise and a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

Looks like there's something wrong here.

Yu Chen also said politely: "I know Qilin Town, but we have been on the road for a long time, and my sister is about to be unable to walk, otherwise we wouldn't have come here......"

Li Qingyu comprehended, and immediately put on a bitter gourd face, and stared at the man with a pitiful look, as if he really couldn't walk.

The man didn't notice what the expression on Li Qingyu's face was before, and after following Yu Chen's words, he suddenly froze.

Although the little girl has grown up a lot, but that face is still killed by men, women and children, plus a pitiful appearance deliberately made, unless it is a hard-hearted person, who doesn't have a soft heart?

Although Yu Chen is a boy, because he is a spiritual cultivator, his appearance is younger than his actual age, coupled with the dress of a weak scholar, and the effect of deliberately constricting his aura, it is difficult to make people wary.

The man was silent for a while, then turned his head to look in the direction of the village, and found that two people were coming out of the village and coming in this direction, so he said to them: "Then you can tell our village chief, the village chief has the idea of our village." After speaking, he didn't care what their reaction was, and went straight back to the busy field just now, but when he left, he always glanced back at Li Qingyu from time to time, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Of course, Li Qingyu knew that he was looking at himself, and when he turned his gaze, a chill rose in his heart, but he didn't know, staring at the direction where the village chief was coming.

The two men soon approached, one was an old man who looked old, and the other was probably his grandchild, who looked about the same age as Yu Chen, and supported the old man beside him.

Yu Chen and Li Qingyu glanced at each other again without a trace.

These two people are spiritual, but the level is very low, and the old man's level can reach the level of the spiritual attraction period, in fact, there are not many spiritual cultivators outside who will treat him as a spiritual cultivator, and he is only at this level when he is old, and his qualifications are really poor enough, and the young man's level is a little higher than that of the old man, but it is only the level of the early stage of spiritual induction, and it is estimated that he can't do anything except the lowest spiritual trick, and Li Qingyu can put him down by hooking his fingers.

In front of such a level of spirituality, the two of them are very confident that they will not be recognized, you must know that in front of the low-level spirituality, unless you want to, it is easy to hide your strength, and it is as simple as pretending to be an ordinary person, but because such a thing is meaningless, under normal circumstances, few spiritual cultivators will deliberately hide their strength.

Walking about three meters in front of the two, the old man stopped, and the young man next to him also stopped, and he never let go of his hands holding the old man.

"Are you two passing by?" The old man spoke very slowly, and the time to finish one sentence was three sentences higher than that of others.

Li Qingyu continued to pretend to be delicate, while Yu Chen took half a step forward, bowed slightly to the old man before speaking, and showed a good tutor: "Yes, the village chief, we are from Hechuan Daocheng and go to Zhaoyang Mansion to visit relatives, and when we came out, because we didn't make much preparations, my sister was tired when she walked here, and she wanted to find a place to rest. ”

The old man squinted at Li Qingyu with indifferent eyes, and didn't know what he saw, so he nodded slightly: "If you stay for one night, we have a spare room in our house, but I hope you don't disturb the rest of our village, this neighborhood is not very peaceful, there are often thieves, and everyone's vigilance is very high, so don't run around casually." ”

"No problem, thank you so much!" Yu Chen's acting did not have a flaw, which made Li Qingyu applaud in his heart, who knew that he turned his head to look at him, and urged, "Why don't you say thank you to the village chief and grandfather." That tone, as if she really regarded herself as a lesson for her ignorant sister, suddenly made her roll her eyes in her heart.

But the white eyes are white, and the one who should be acted has to be acted, so he quickly put a bright smile on his face and said sweetly to the old man: "Thank you, grandpa!" ”

The eyes of the young man beside the old man suddenly straightened, staring at Li Qingyu with a demented look, and the corners of Yu Chen's eyes jumped, and he moved half a step to the side without a trace, blocking his vision.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and met Yu Chen's gaze, and then he was startled by his appearance of being a thief, and instantly realized that he was abrupt, and his face turned red and he didn't dare to look at them again.

The old man seemed to be unaware of this little episode, turned around and walked slowly towards the way he came: "Come with me." ”

Yu Chen and the others hurriedly followed, Li Qingyu did not forget to play the role of sore feet, bared his teeth after taking two steps, and followed Yu Chen aggrievedly, causing the young man next to the old man to turn back from time to time, with a worried face, and it seemed that he wanted to lose his grandfather to carry her immediately, which made Yu Chen cry and laugh.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Dad, Grandpa said they don't seem to be ordinary people."

The man who was called was wrapping his shirt around his waist, picking up an axe to chop wood, a huge axe was as light as nothing in his hand, and every swing would accurately divide the log standing on the ground into two halves, it was still spring, but the shirtless man did not feel cold at all, and he did not sweat when he wielded the big axe.

Hearing his son's words, the axe in the man's hand paused, and then continued to swing: "What your grandfather said is generally right, although I didn't see anything, but it's better to be careful, who knows if it's someone with ulterior motives?" ”

The young man pursed his lips and looked disapproving: "What person with ulterior motives would send a beautiful girl half the size of a year?" I see that they are really passing by. ”

As soon as he heard this, the man's movements really stopped, and he stood on the ground with an axe and smiled: "Beautiful girl? Kid got a crush? ”

The young man's face turned red, and his eyes fluttered around: "Where... Where, she is really beautiful, that's a fact. ”

"What are you shy, go after it when you see it, but you were selected by the spirit master to be an apprentice, and you are afraid that you are not worthy of a beautiful girl?"

The young man was even more panicked: "People are still young, not to mention that his brother is next to him......"

"Hahaha, you really watched it, even the elder brother of the family has paid attention, what are you afraid of when you are young, your mother gave birth to you at the age of fifteen, and now it is just right to marry home." The man began to tease his son, smiling maliciously.

The boy suddenly didn't know what to say, and when he opened his mouth, he found that it didn't seem right to say anything, so he threw down the sentence "I'll go to find grandpa" and was afraid, leaving the man behind him laughing non-stop.
