Half a wisp?!

Du Heng hurriedly said: "What about the other half?" ”

Shui Yangbo pondered for a moment and said, "Since you snatched it down with the poison of the phoenix, then the other half should be with the poisoner." ”

"Ge Man?"

Shui Yangbo nodded.

Du Heng's heart, which was about to jump to his throat, was held back again. The ups and downs of emotions make his blood rush, and the mockery of fate makes him want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Du Ruo sighed when he saw Du Heng's depressed appearance, and then patted him on the shoulder.

After a while, Du Heng said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go, it's useless to stay here, don't disturb the old-timers Qingxiu......"

Du Ruo said: "Where are you going?" Looking for Ge Man? ”

Du Heng sneered.

Ge Man's whereabouts are uncertain, and the mountain of wings is completely empty. Finding Kudzu is like capturing a speck of dust in the air, and if he doesn't want you to see him, you can't see him. Look for? Where to find ......

Shui Yangbo saw through Du Heng's mind at a glance, and said, "Hey, young people, don't be so pessimistic, where is your previous sharpness?" ”

Du Heng looked at the water with red eyes and was silent.

"The person you're looking for isn't that hard to find, as long as you follow the map, it will definitely take no effort, and there will even be an accident. Alas, I don't know if this is a joy or a sorrow for you......"

Shui Yangbo realized that he had missed his mouth again, and hurriedly read to the sky: "Ouch, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've broken the vows again, I'll go back and copy "Nine Songs" two thousand times......"

Du Ruo was dissatisfied: "You are a person, why do you always talk halfway?" You ......"

Du Heng stopped Du Ruo and said, "The juniors understand the distress of the seniors not to reveal the secret of the heavens, but it is difficult to find Ge Man's traces, and I hope the seniors can give a hint." ”

"Hint?" Shui Yangbo waved his hand impatiently, "You guys will know when you go out!" Tips everywhere outside......"

The three men looked at each other.

Du Heng arched his hand and said: "Then since the old-timers are in trouble, let's hurry up." In the past few days, I would like to thank the seniors for their hospitality, and the younger generations will say goodbye. ”

A few people were just about to leave, when Shui Yangbo shouted from behind: "Hey! Wait a minute! Sanxiu stays! ”

Sanxiu was stunned, Du Ruo protected Sanxiu behind him, and said, "What are you going to do?" Will you leave Sanxiu as a child daughter-in-law? ”

Shui Yangbo stomped his feet and said, "What child daughter-in-law?" I'm doing this for your own good! Sanxiu, this girl is not ordinary, she has huge potential in her body, and a little carelessness will cause a big disaster. Leave her here for me as an apprentice, and I'll teach her how to use her potential. ”

Sanxiu's eyes lit up, and then immediately showed embarrassment.

Du Heng said to Sanxiu: "The old-timers are willing to accept you as an apprentice, this is a great opportunity." It doesn't really do you much benefit to follow us, so it's better to learn from the old-timers, and maybe you can help me in the future. ”

So, Sanxiu stayed in Chongyin Mountain.

The brother and sister walked down the mountain according to the hint given by Shui Yangbo, and when they turned around and saw the end of the mountain road, Gui Yi was exuding a warm light, and he had been illuminating the way down the mountain for the brother and sister, and he had not left for a long time.

When the two of them reached the bottom of the mountain, they realized what Shui Yangbo meant by "there are hints everywhere outside".

Everything is completely different from when I first left.

As far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of devastation, and the corpses are all over the field, which is shocking. At this time, it was already a harsh winter, three feet of ice, wind and frost, and the farms in the suburbs had long been empty, leaving only a few low walls to stand alone. On the side of the road and in the grass, the corpses of separated limbs were scattered everywhere. The blood had frozen, the broken bones were lying on the outside, and the desperate expressions on several of the heads in different places still maintained before death.

Du Heng used his feet to dig through a few bushes and found that many of those corpses were wearing the same clothes, and it was obvious that they were disciples of the same family.

"I can't imagine that the sectarian dispute has become so fierce."

Du Heng was talking to himself, when he suddenly saw Du Ruo kneeling next to a collapsed house at some point.

"Sectarian disputes?" Du Ruo sneered, "You tell me, which sect would let such a young child come out and kill people?!" ”

Du Heng walked quickly to Du Ruo, only to see a thin corpse lying under the remnant wall. The corpse was so decomposed that it was colorless, but it was still clutching a broken rag doll in its hand.

"You fight and fight, you can't go to a place where there is no one?! Isn't the life of a mortal a mortal a life in your eyes?! Du Ruo's voice was hoarse, and big tears rolled down, "This kid is still so young, maybe he will do a big career in the future......"

Du Heng sighed deeply and took Du Ruo into his arms.

Since the last time the fish-headed demon fetus was killed by Qu Jibai's broken belly, Ah Ruo has never been so emotionally out of control......

The two buried the child's body and drove back to the town where Fan's family was located. They didn't know anyone in the mortal world, and the Fan family was their only connection.

The brother and sister changed into their previous outfits, but the bluegrass between their eyebrows was missing. I don't know how to find Ge Man, so it's better to dress up conspicuously and let others find the door by themselves.

Pressing the clouds, the two almost thought they had misremembered their directions. I saw that the town had completely changed, and the originally lively streets had become very deserted, and only a few businesses were barely maintaining. The pedestrians on the road looked hurried, and when they saw the living people hurriedly evading, it was like seeing a plague god.

Many familiar shops have also changed their facades, and many homes have changed hands. Chen Po, who grinded tofu, was replaced by an old man who beat Shoumu, and Hua Gu, who sold rouge, was also replaced by a thin man who sold paper money. Walking on the street, it is dark, and there is a sense that people are wrong.

Du Heng came to the door of Fan's Mansion and looked at the plaque on the lintel, as if he was in another world. The gate of Fan's Mansion was closed, and a thick layer of dust fell from the copper handle on the door.

He lifted his hand and knocked on the door, and in a moment the door creaked open, and a drooping old man poked his head out.

"Who is this son looking for?"

Du Heng looked at the little old man in front of him who was almost crumpled, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Why didn't we go for a long time, the Fan family was dilapidated like this, and even the new people were old men of such an age.

"I'm looking for Master Fan, is he at home?"

"Looking for Master Fan?"

The little old man frowned, he grabbed Du Heng's arm, tried to stand on tiptoe, and brought an old face in front of Du Heng's eyes.

Du Heng tried to be polite, but he still leaned back unconsciously.

Who knows, the little old man suddenly opened his drooping eyelids and said happily: "Brother Amu?!" Is it really you?! ”

Du Ruo stretched out half of his body and said, "Huh? How did you meet him? ”

The little old man was so shocked that the wrinkles on his face were stretched: "Sweet peach?!" You guys, why haven't you changed at all?? ”

"You ......"

The little old man took Du Heng's hand affectionately, and his words were almost full of crying, and said, "I'm Xiaodouzi...... You're back...... I knew you weren't ordinary people...... You are all immortals......"

"Little beans? Little beans in the kitchen? ”

"Yes! Do you remember? Little Douzi pulled the brother and sister into the door, and then carefully closed the door.

Du Heng suddenly remembered that before Zhang Fugui came to find fault that day, Xiaodouzi stammered to please himself, saying that when he developed in the future, he should not forget his benefits.

However, isn't Xiaodouzi only sixteen years old......

The two were dragged into the house.

The house is desolate, and the white walls and tiles are covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. Most of the bonsai in the courtyard are gone, replaced by many shelves for drying bacon. The bacon was black and swarthy, and hung pitifully on the shelf.

Xiaodouzi beckoned the two of them to sit down in the main hall, and boiled a pot of tea root water and poured it into the two tea bowls.

"The old man died of illness twenty years ago......" Xiaodouzi sighed.

He sat down beside the two of them, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, "Have you gone to the Chongyin Mountain to find the immortals?" Why didn't Miss come back together? ”

Du Heng said: "Miss was accepted as an apprentice by the old immortal, so she didn't come down with us." ”

Xiaodouzi rubbed his two dry old hands, smacked his tongue and said: "Oh, it's really amazing, it seems that the goddess is right, when the young lady meets someone who is destined, her life will be completely different." However, Brother Amu, are you willing to let such a beautiful wife be alone in the mountains? ”

"Wife?" Du Heng was a little confused.

Du Ruo said: "Oh, they didn't get married, your eldest brother Amu has his own wife!" ”

"Oh...... Didn't get married...... I didn't ......get married," Xiaodouzi continued to rub his hands thoughtfully, "Also, Brother Amu is a fairy, Miss is a mortal, where can the gods look down on us mortals......"

Du Ruo couldn't help but want to laugh, and whispered: "Your big brother Amu really likes mortals......"

Du Heng glanced at Du Ruo with disgust, and said, "How long have we been gone?" ”

"You don't know?" Xiao Douzi's eyes widened, and he counted with his fingers, "Thirty...... Fifty...... This year marks the 60th anniversary. People say, 'One day in the sky, one year on earth', did you just stay on that fairy mountain for a few hours? No wonder the gods have not changed for many years, even the time is different from us mortals. ”

Du Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "Why did the town become like this?" I remember when we left, it was still very lively, why is it that the streets are now full of dead people's business? ”

Xiaodouzi let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, Brother Amu, you don't know, in the third year after you left, we had a female devil here. The female devil's face is really handsome, but her heart is vicious. Turn good people into sisters-in-law. And ah, that thing is like an epidemic, and if you touch it, you will be unlucky. ”

Du Heng and Du Ruo glanced at each other.

Gloomy.

Xiaodouzi continued: "At first, everyone was scared, and some of them ran away as fast as they could. Later, after being discovered by the female devil, whoever runs away again will have bad luck for the whole family, so everyone can only stay at home and be a turtle with a shrunken head. Maybe the female devil still depends on us to feed, and then she kills anyone she doesn't see when she sees them, just picking some handsome young men. Later, she thought it was boring to pick herself, so she insisted that we pay her a tribute every once in a while, and we had to hold a wedding for her. Every time there is a wedding, the whole town has to go to it, and whoever doesn't attend will kill the whole family. How many villages and towns within a radius of hundreds of miles have to take turns to pay tribute to her. ”

Du Ruo said: "What does she want the young man to do?" ”

Xiaodouzi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but those young men never came back." They all said that they were eaten by the female devil......"

Du Heng said: "Then which town will it be the next tribute?" ”

Xiaodouzi sighed again and again, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, it's our town, I heard that the grandson of the old blacksmith in Zhenxi was chosen." The person hasn't sent it yet, and even the mound has been made. Well, what do you mean by that......"

Du Ruo squeezed his eyes at Du Heng and said, "Hey, your chance has come!" ”

Xiao Douzi raised her eyes and looked at the two people in a daze.

Du Heng said: "Xiaodouzi, you go to Zhenxi in a while and tell the old blacksmith that he doesn't have to take his grandson to death." ”

Xiaodouzi said: "If you don't send it, the old blacksmith's family will be finished, what can you do if you don't send it?" ”

Du Heng smiled: "I mean, you don't have to send him there, I'll go for him." ”
