Hanjia Village, as depicted by Han Lingsha, is almost isolated from the world. Before entering the village, there was a dense forest.

The white expanse is like a canopy, shrouding this road that is not easy to see. That is, because there was too much fog, it was inconvenient for Edgeworth to move forward, and Liu Mengli and Murong Ziying could only walk in step by step.

In order to prevent getting lost, Liu Mengli silently counted in her heart, leaving a guide incense on its trunk every five trees. The trail was winding, and the weeds on the ground were knee-high, and the dark green color added a bit of chill to the place. After walking for a while, Murong Ziying suddenly stopped: "Tomb." ”

Yes, a mound suddenly appeared on both sides of the road where the grass and trees were piled up.

Liu Mengli took a few steps forward and walked to the tomb. The stele can vaguely distinguish the three words "Han Lincang". Seeing the surname "Han", Liu Mengli said thoughtfully: "This soil is very fresh, and it seems that it has only been built for a short time." Not far ahead...... It should be Hanjia Village. When he turned around, he found that behind this mound, there were dozens of new graves. Liu Mengli took a step back, her heart pounding.

"Don't be afraid." Murong Ziying walked up to her side and whispered a word of comfort, and then continued: "You are a woman, you really shouldn't come to this place with me. The slightest self-blame overflowed in his words.

"Why?" Liu Mengli reacted instantly, "I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about the people of Lingsha, so many lives are ...... I don't know whether to comment on God or unfair? ”

Murong Ziying was slightly stunned for a moment, and there were mixed feelings in her heart: "This is not something that can be explained. After a pause, "It's time to go to Hanjia Village by the way." Liu Mengli sighed lightly, then turned around and walked forward first. Murong Ziying's eyes were dark and cold, and she said in her heart: If God is fair, then it will be difficult to escape punishment for doing bad things. But God is too fair, Lingsha did a lot of good things in her lifetime, but in the end it was also fate.

"What's wrong?" Liu Mengli, who was already five steps away from him, turned his head sideways and asked when he saw that he was still standing in place. Murong Ziying shook her head slightly and quickly followed.

After about half an hour, the cramped road suddenly opened up. Nine green peaks proudly point to the sky, and a clear stream is flowing around the village. A discerning person will know at a glance that this is an excellent feng shui treasure.

Looking back at the foggy road she had just walked, Liu Mengli suddenly understood that this place is one yin and one yang, both inside and outside, in order to balance feng shui.

Fu turned back again, she flicked her sideburns and asked, "What are you looking for?" It's very close here, and it's hard to find someone to ask. Murong Ziying looked at the village carefully, and everywhere she saw was thatched adobe houses. The nearest adobe house was surrounded by a fence, and some chickens were kept in captivity inside the fence. When it was time to eat, the smoke was turned into wisps everywhere, drifting from the window to the sky, harmonious and quiet, completely like an ordinary village.

It stands to reason that the people of Hancun make a living by robbing tombs, so how can the place where they live be so desolate and poor?

Liu Mengli said softly on the side: "I used to hear Lingsha say in Bagong Mountain that there are good places with mountains and water. Li'er also read from the book that since ancient times, the royal family has regarded the land of Jiufeng as the place of the dragon vein. I think that the people of Hancun should also choose this place for the blessing of the dragon vein. Besides, this clear stream, the water trickles, does not dry or dry, it is the lifeblood of the whole village. One and nine should also coincide with the meaning of "perfect". Murong Ziying was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I didn't think so. Graves in the woods...... In this regard, there should be an ulterior motive. ”

"This ...... But Li'er didn't know. Liu Mengli raised her hand and stroked her sideburns, her eyes swept over, but she swept to the right back side and something was moving in the grass. Ziying, be careful! ”

As soon as the words fell, ten big men suddenly broke out of the ground, all of them fierce and vicious, their eyes fierce, staring at the two of them.

"Retreat." Liu Mengli muttered.

The ten big men were stunned for a moment and looked at her.

I saw that she was slightly bowed, and her eyes seemed to be sad, but they were faintly shining, and there was no timidity. raised his hand and brushed his hair slightly, and his shocked face suddenly appeared. The big man was stunned, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his heart was rippling. Murong Ziying was slightly embarrassed, and could only cough slightly. The attention of the ten people shifted again, and when they saw the manhood of the blue and white plain clothes, the sword intent around him showed that he was not an idle person, and although a pair of autumn water eyes were on thick vigilance, they only protected the woman by their side, and there was no intention of fighting each other, and suddenly the ten people also relaxed their expressions slightly. One of them asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

"Below, Murong Ziying." Murong Ziying stepped forward for a moment, and then turned sideways, "She is Liu Mengli." I came to visit this time just to save people. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me. ”

Liu Mengli stepped forward with a blessing.

Dahan pondered for a while and asked, "This Liu girl seems to know Feng Shui very well?" - Who are you going to save? ”

Liu Mengli listened to his words and explained in a daze: "Those are all told by old friends, I don't understand." This time, we want to save our old friend Han Lingsha. ”

"Han—?" The ten people looked at each other, "I have never heard of such a person in the village. ”

Murong Ziying's face was worried: "She ......"

"Actually, we didn't come to save people, we just wanted to visit her." Liu Mengli suddenly interrupted. Murong Ziying looked at her in surprise, only to feel strange. And she said: "Actually, she is not our old friend, but my old friend with this son's ancestor." As a junior, I came to visit today. ”

Murong Ziying was silent. looked at Liu Mengli closely, but saw that a layer of inky halo was faintly emanating from her body.

What is it?

was puzzled, but heard the big man say: "It's rare that the two of you have such filial piety, and it's no wonder that we don't know when we have the 'Han Lingsha' person in the village." Ancestors...... It should be written in the genealogy, so come with me. Then he turned and waved to the nine big men, "The brothers continue to guard." If there is anyone trespassing, report it again! ”

Only then did Murong Ziying understand that there were countless village guards hidden behind the tomb. It's no wonder that I thought the mound was not ordinary. looked sideways at Liu Mengli, only to see that she also turned her head sideways, and asked softly, "Ziying, aren't you leaving?" "On closer inspection, the faint inky halo was gone.

"Well, let's go." Murong Ziying and Liu Mengli were waiting outside the so-called patriarch's house. It is said to be the patriarch's house, but it is actually no different from other ordinary thatched houses.

It had been more than two hours since the big man had been in, but there was no movement. The clouds were slightly drunk, the sky was getting dark, and the whole village was still dead silent.

"Fang Cai ......" Murong Ziying couldn't help but open her mouth after all, wanting to ask about the ink light. But seeing that her face was tired, she couldn't help but change the topic and said: "If you are tired, you can rest there, you don't have to hold on." ”

Liu Mengli sighed and said softly: "No need, I'm fine." But I thought in my heart: Lingsha said that Han Cun was suspicious, why was it so easy to show the family tree to outsiders? Isn't it to prevent us from deliberately deceiving us and letting us keep waiting? His eyes stared at the closed wooden door, and he gradually lost his grip in his heart, and said, "Ziying, that person has been in for so long...... But this small house should have an unobstructed view of the inside. ”

In fact, what she was thinking about was exactly what Murong Ziying was thinking. The whole village was already strange and abnormal, except for the ten big men, they hadn't seen anyone else for two hours. Besides, if the sun hadn't started to dim, the village would have been completely left in an environment where no time had passed, and nothing had changed.

Is it an illusion? No, if there is an illusion, Mengli and I will both notice it. So...... Murong Ziying was suspicious in her heart again and again, and overturned her previous thoughts again and again. A slight sound suddenly came from under the ground, and Liu Mengli also felt a strange movement under her feet, and took a step back slightly, with doubts on her face.

Feeling the sound carefully, I felt that it was not chaotic, but like a person, walking under the ground step by step. Murong Ziying suddenly realized: In order to prevent the immortal demon from harming innocent people during the chaos, the Qionghua faction left a passage under each room. While it can be inhabited, there are some items stored in it in case of emergency. The people of Hancun make a living by robbing tombs, and they are even more cautious. In this way, it is not impossible to dig a few underground passages in the house. The villagers should be living in a real village at the other end of the passage, which is just a trick.

Murong Ziying relaxed, and just wanted to explain a thing or two to Liu Mengli, but the wooden door suddenly opened. The big man from before walked out with a grizzled face, holding a thick book with a blue cover in his hand.

"The two of you have been waiting for a long time. I went to ask the patriarch, and he said that he seemed to have seen the name of the old friend mentioned by the two in the family tree. This is the genealogy. ”

Murong Ziying was a little hesitant, it seemed too unreasonable to take out such a valuable genealogy casually, but when she saw Liu Mengli thank you and take it, she turned around and handed it to him.

I had to turn a few pages casually, but a small piece of cinnabar fell to the ground.

Liu Mengli took a step ahead of him and picked it up, glanced at it, and saw that it read:

Northern Dragon, South Qilin, West Phoenix, East Snow Ginseng. The one who eats the soul will perform the soul possession technique.

"This is ......" Liu Mengli looked at the big man thoughtfully, "I have seen in books that there is a dragon in the north, a unicorn in the south, a phoenix in the west, and a snow ginseng in the east." Among the four things, three are divine beasts and one is an elf. The dragon scales, unicorn horns, colorful phoenix feathers, and snow-capped mountain longevity ginseng all come from themselves, and they have miraculous effects...... "As the words gradually became clearer, Liu Menglifu remembered his own words again, "If you don't really have that recipe, how can you speak?" At that time, a strange light flashed in Han Ling's eyes.

And Dahan also explained a little: "This one...... It seems to be a prescription, but I don't know much about it. But when the successive patriarchs passed the throne to the new patriarch, the new patriarch would copy the paper again and put it in the family tree. ”

After getting the answer, Liu Mengli raised her hand to stroke her hair, and said in her heart: Yes, there is really a remedy for soul rejuvenation in the world. Lingsha should know, but I'm afraid that those four things are difficult to find, so they didn't tell us the truth. But what is a Soul Eater? I've never heard of it.

At this time, Murong Ziying closed the book in his hand, handed it back to the big man, and said, "Thank you." He asked again, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, how many clansmen are there in Hanjia Village now?" The big man looked ashamed and said: "Since the two of you can find the entrance to Hanjia Village, and you can come in without messing up, I think there are also people to point out, so it's not interesting for me to talk nonsense here." There are not many people in Hanjia Village, less than 100. Murong Ziying sighed in her heart, probably understanding why they took out the genealogy so rashly. A hundred years have passed, and the fate of the people of Hanjia Village may be more bumpy than before, and there is no need to avoid outsiders everywhere. "A hundred years of foundation, although our way of living will be despised by the world, but after all, we have sincerely repented in the past few decades and no longer robbed tombs, but the life span of the people of Hancun is still short......" Dahan sighed. Murong Ziying turned to face Liu Mengli, and when she saw her holding the prescription, she asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"I ...... Perhaps. Liu Mengli pursed her lips.

"Why don't you find out?"

“…… Well, I'm with you. ”

Seeing the two of them talking one by one, the big man was stunned, and suddenly scratched his head with his hand, and said in a daze: "Could it be that I'm too stupid?" Or are the two of them playing a pantomime? Liu Mengli "poofed" and covered her mouth and smiled. Murong Ziying also had a slight smile on her face, and said in her heart: It's just that I'm used to talking to her briefly, but I never thought that only the two of us would understand and others wouldn't know. It was at this time that Murong Ziying came to her senses and realized that only Liu Mengli was by her side. In addition, the two who laughed constantly seemed to be absent for a long time.

It also seems that this is the first time since they met, she is the only one by her side.

Murong Ziying lowered her head slightly, and her eyebrows were dyed with a little sadness. As he grew older, the scenes that he had imagined in his mind again and again when he was young were now a reality, he was a little at a loss.

"Ziying?" Liu Mengli called softly. Seeing that he was thinking, he stepped forward again to give a blessing to the big man and said, "Today is tired, and it is inconvenient for us to disturb it any longer, so we will leave first." ”

"Wait, Miss Liu—" The big man stopped her, but there was a hint of sternness on his rugged face, "Although it may not take long for Hanjia Village to disappear completely, please don't tell anyone outside the village about the affairs in the village." ”

"Well, please rest assured about this." Liu Mengli responded. When she turned her head again, she found that Murong Ziying's gaze was falling on her, and the sadness that was inadvertently revealed made her feel a palpitation. "Ziying, shall we go?" She raised her hand slightly, shaking it in front of his eyes.

"......" Murong Ziying gradually came back to her senses and opened her mouth, but suddenly her voice was dumb and she couldn't say anything. He stood for a long time before he waved his sword.

As soon as he stepped on the sword, he felt a sinking behind him.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Liu Mengli following him.

She tugged at him and smiled.

An unfamiliar sensation swirls and envelops the body. She was smiling, and it was clearly hers. But his eyes were cloudy, a deep ink color of no business.

From the Shouyang Liu Mansion, Murong Ziying had already vaguely noticed that she was acting a little strange from time to time - not like the Liu Mengli he knew before. In the past, she would not act so disorderly, let alone talk to him, and scheming to coax others. However, in just a few days, she is really too abnormal.

So, who is taking her body?

Murong Ziying lifted his sword, and an invisible and colorless sword qi swung it tentatively. Unbeknownst to him, as soon as the sword qi touched Liu Mengli's body, it rebounded directly and slashed into the trunk of a tree behind him that was as thick as a bowl. There was a crisp "click", and the trunk was broken in half.

And Liu Mengli's eyes suddenly returned to clarity.

"I ......" Liu Mengli shook her head slightly and raised her hand to brush her hair. Seeing that he and Murong Ziying were standing on the same sword, his face immediately turned red subconsciously. After a pause, he wanted to go down with his skirt. Thinking that she was possessed by an unknown monster twice, Murong Ziying was a little annoyed, and reached out to grab her and ask for an explanation. Unexpectedly, the fingertips slid over the fabric, unexpectedly covering her palm. At the moment when her fingertips touched her skin, Liu Mengli made a panicked backhand in order to hide something. But he still saw the ink lines in his palm.

"......" glanced at the stunned big man, Murong Ziying's heart moved, said goodbye, and instantly took Liu Mengli's sword away.
