Early the next morning, with Jiu Ge and Yun An, a group of eleven people embarked on the road to Yuanning Village.

Yuanning Village is in the territory of the Northern Underworld Empire, not far away, using spiritual power, it takes less than two hours to walk to the town where the village is located.

What made Lin Yuan strange was that the closer they got to Yuanning Village, a strong sense of oppression spontaneously arose in their hearts. And once the village is mentioned to passers-by, they will talk about it, like avoiding the plague.

After passing through a deserted grove, I came out of Yuanning Village, hidden in a mountain stream, which was really difficult to find.

As soon as they walked outside the village, everyone felt a strange atmosphere.

In the whole village, there is no smoke to be seen, no human voices can be heard, and there is no call of fowl, which is already very strange, and the human figure can rarely be seen.

Occasionally, I ran into one or two villagers, and I hid when I saw them. They were scrawny and had hollow eyes, and if they hadn't been carrying hoes and working in the fields, they would be no different from the wandering corpses they had encountered before.

"It's... What's the situation?"

Looking at the lifeless village, Hu Yun pulled Jiuchen and said in his ear.

"Could it be a natural disaster?" Lingshuang guessed suspiciously.

But it doesn't look like it, the villagers are like they have been sucked out of their souls, not like they are hungry.

After walking into the village for a while, there was the sound of chanting, and the group followed the sound of the scriptures to find a luxurious temple that was very different from the whole village. From the outside of the temple, you can still see that the main hall is enshrined in a female Buddha, they always feel that where have they seen?

"You're from a foreign country, right?"

They were about to go in when an old man grabbed them and asked in an extremely eerie voice.

Lin Yuan and Jiuchen calmed down and replied, "Yes, uncle, may I ask..."

Before he could finish asking, the old man interrupted Jiuchen's words, "Let's go! ”

"Hey, old man, we still have..."

Mu Jue caught up and was about to continue to inquire, more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the temple turned around and stared at him in unison, one by one, their eyes were deep, and they followed the demon, as if they wanted to see through his soul, Mu Jue only felt a chill down his spine.

"Uncle, we're here to find someone. Jiuchen asked politely.

At this time, everyone's faces changed instantly, and their eyes were focused on Xuanyue's body, and the old man who had just grabbed them "snapped" and knelt on the ground, together with the people in the temple, kept kowtowing to Xuanyue, and muttered to himself,

"Mother Goddess Niangniang, Mother Goddess Niangniang...."

Xuanyue looked at Lin Yuan stunned, saying that she didn't know what was going on.

However, if you look closely, the female Buddha in the temple does have some resemblance to Yue'er.

Lin Yuan stepped forward to help the old man and said, "Uncle, do you recognize the wrong person?" ”

"No, no, it's the mother goddess, and she won't admit her mistake. The old man was like a demon, and his mouth was babbling.

"You can't get anything out of his mouth?"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a young male voice came from behind him, thirteen or fourteen years old, when he saw them turn around and see Xuanyue, he was obviously shocked, and then calmed down and said to Lin Yuan, "You come with me!"

Although the other party was only a thirteen or fourteen child, he was more mature in speaking than them, and seeing that the few old people in front of him really couldn't ask extra words, everyone followed the temple where the boy left and entered a small courtyard.

There are also some flowers and plants planted in the yard, which should be the only life in the whole village.

"There's no one you're looking for. The boy said.

Hu Yun looked at him and said, "We didn't say who we were looking for, how do you know if there isn't." ”

The boy carried a kettle and watered the flowers and plants in the yard and said, "How old do you think I am?"

Hu Yun smiled and said, "Are you serious?"

"In this village, there have been no old people who have died in more than 20 years, and no newborns have been born. The boy said as he touched the flowers.

"What do you mean by that?"

The boy looked at the gray sky and said, "It means that the time in this village has not changed for more than twenty years." ”

"How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible, don't you cultivators know that there is a spirit beast that can control time?"

Everyone looked at Xuanyue in unison, in this regard, she still knows better.

In the end, it was Hong'er who took the lead in speaking, "Fine, you can control time and space." ”

Jiuchen looked up at the sky and asked, "Who did it?"

"Zhan Nuo. ”

An extremely familiar name popped out of the boy's mouth.

"You ought to know each other, right?" added the boy.

The nine nodded in unison.

The boy continued, "Yuanning Village is Zhan Nuo's hometown. ”

When the boy said this, he successfully shocked everyone present, Zhan Nuo's hometown?

"More than 40 years ago, it is said that his mother was the most beautiful woman in our village, who fell in love with the son of the village chief, and finally the village chief decided to marry her son, but just a month before the marriage, the villagers found out that she was pregnant. ”

"It's wonderful. Huyun interrupted unexpectedly.

The boy added, "In our village, a woman who was pregnant before marriage was considered ominous, not to mention that this woman still wanted to marry the village chief's son, and she couldn't ask the child's father, so in the end, the people in the village tied her up directly, a bamboo raft, and sacrificed to the river." ”

"And then?"

Later, the woman didn't know what method she used, survived, and lived alone in the ravine behind her, until Zhan Nuo was five years old, when the village was in a great wilderness, and the villagers went up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables to eat, but found their mother and son. ”

Jiu Ge stared at the boy with big eyes and asked, "So they..."

They thought that the great wilderness in the village was brought by their mother and son, and they wanted to sacrifice the mother and son to the sky to appease the wrath of the heavens. ”

"Sacrifice to the heavens, can you do such a frenzied thing?" Jiu Ge shouted in a lost voice.

"Yes, it was mad to do such a thing, but it happened, and the woman was tied to a pillar and burned alive. ”

"And what about his son?"

"That five-year-old son was finally saved by the village chief's son, maybe he still loves women!"

Then the boy was kicked out of the village, and it wasn't until 20 years later that he came back, built the temple, sealed the village, and said it was for the whole village to offer incense to his mother. ”

"Is that the Mother Goddess?" Lingshuang asked.

The boy looked at Xuanyue and said, "You really look like his mother. ”

Zhan Nuo had said the same thing before. Xuanyue said, "So, he hasn't killed me for so many years!"

"Looks like you've crossed paths with him. The boy put down the kettle and said.

"It's more than an intersection. ”

"Then this formation can be cracked?" Jiuchen asked.

The boy looked at Jiuchen in shock and said, "Aren't you afraid of offending Siam City?"

Mu Jue and Hu Yun both laughed, and finally said, "It's not like offending him once or twice." ”
