To the southwest of Baoying City, about three or four hundred miles, there is a place called "Ghost Village".

It's called a ghost village because there's no one in the village!

Not only were there no living people, not even dead people, only empty houses that were dilapidated and dilapidated, and empty graves that had been dug open and the bones removed.

What's even more strange is that although many people in the vicinity have heard of the name of this ghost village and various legends, few people have been able to enter it.

I know the exact location of that village, but if I really want to go in, I will finally get lost involuntarily. Around the village, it was as if there was a maze, and the people who went there went around, and in the end, the luckier ones turned out directly, and they were not allowed to enter.

There are also some unlucky people, who obviously went to the ghost village, but overnight, they appeared hundreds of miles away. If someone asks the reason, they can't even tell the people themselves, but they only know that the road under their feet seems to have no end, and they are tired of walking, and they want to stop and rest, and they fall asleep unconsciously. By the time I woke up, I was already hundreds of miles away.

Even, the most unlucky one appeared directly in the capital thousands of miles away, in order to come back, begging all the way, wearing out the soles of his shoes before coming back.

Only a small number of people did not wander outside the village, nor did they appear in strange places inexplicably, presumably by chance, they really entered the ghost village!

But these people, more precisely, should be considered missing, because they went in and never came out!

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and not everyone who has entered the ghost village has ever come out. It's just that the last person who entered the ghost village and came out again, the first thing he said when he came out was "Ghost! There are ghosts!", and then he left the following.

It is said that at that time, the man's clothes were torn into strips of cloth, one eye was pierced blind, and blood flowed. , Even the scalp was torn off with the hair, a piece the size of a baby's palm, half of the face was covered with blood, and there were three very obvious scratches on the other half of the face, and the whole person looked like a blood gourd at first glance!

At that time, the man had strayed into the ghost village, and his family didn't want to beat him and survive, but they were indeed frightened by his miserable appearance. It's just that later, when I brought the person back and asked Lang Zhong to bandage the wound, I was told that the scratches on the person's face were poisonous!

As for what kind of poison it is, Na Langzhong himself has limited knowledge, and he can't say it clearly, let alone detoxify it. Then, after two or three days, the scratched half of the man's face completely turned a strange blue purple, and then began to swell and itch!

Later, I heard that the man couldn't stand the itch, and he scratched half of his face, and even his eyeballs fell out, and then within ten days, he died with a whimper.

During this time, he was crazy, and all he kept muttering about was "there are ghosts" and "don't eat me", and others couldn't get more information about the ghost village from him!

After that, the village that was protected by the maze became a ghost village that people spread by word of mouth.

In summer, the mountains and forests are lush and green, and there is no sound of birdsong all around, and there are no traces of human walking at the foot of the weeds and fallen leaves.

Shen Yixue, with the pink butterfly after all the tribulations, walked in this inaccessible mountain forest.

Before, after touching Shen Yixue's hesitant gaze, Li Zheng was silent for a moment before he looked up at Fan Die'er, who was looking forward to it, and slowly spoke: "You hope we can help you?"

Pink Die'er's eyes lit up: "Are you willing to help me?"

He said that it was "you", not "you", naturally he had already decided in his heart that Shen Yixue was simple and kind, and he would definitely not see "death" and not save him, but he did not immediately agree to come down because of the calamity.

Li Zheng naturally understood the meaning of his words, and was silent for a moment before he said, "I, we, can help you." But—"

He paused: "It's conditional." ”

Although this answer surprised Fan Die'er, it was also within his expectations, because he had seen the delicate relationship between Li Tribulation and Shen Yixue from the beginning, and knew that Li Tribulation would not disobey Shen Yixue's wishes.

It was Shen Yixue who was surprised, so she knew in her heart that from the very beginning, she was unwilling to meddle in the tribulation. When I was at the west gate of Baoying City, I didn't even want to care about the old woman being bullied, let alone Fan Die'er with a complicated purpose!

Therefore, when Li Zheng said the words "can help you" word by word, she even suspected that her ears had heard it wrong.

Li Tribulation first said "I" and then "we", obviously he also heard Fan Die'er's off-string sound, in order to emphasize to Fan Die'er that he and Shen Yixue advance and retreat together, which can be regarded as a kind of subtle warning.

As for the last "conditional", it was even more unexpected for Shen Yixue.

Who is the person who has gone through the tribulations?

Even if he kept saying that he would give up his identity as a protector of the Heavenly Dao, since Shen Yixue reunited with him in the Demon Realm again, where did his various actions seem to be like he really wanted to give up on maintaining the Heavenly Dao?

If he really gave up, I am afraid that it will not be the tribulation that Shen Yixue knows.

He has all the beings of the Six Realms in his heart, is compassionate to the heavens and compassionate, and has great love and selflessness, how can he put forward conditions to others for a trivial matter?

Shen Yixue's eyes widened, and she almost suspected that the man in front of her was still not the one she knew.

Pink Die'er's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, but she said almost immediately: "Okay." ”

He replied so happily that it surprised Li Zheng a little: "You don't ask what the conditions are, just agree directly." ”

Fan Die'er looked at him, with a hint of cunning in her eyes: "You and Miss Shen are not ordinary people, so naturally you can't embarrass me as an ordinary person." So even if I put forward conditions, it must be within my ability, right?"

He bit the word "ordinary person" very hard, and the meaning of his words was naturally self-evident, but it made the face of the tribulation once again difficult to see!

Shen Yixue can also understand the mood of the tribulation, that is, she doesn't want ordinary people to know too much about other realms, so when Fan Die'er asked about the "Six Realms" before, she would rather offend the other party and keep silent.

Even before, in order to avoid the chasing soldiers in Baoying City, he and Shen Yixue flew in mid-air with Pink Butterfly, and at this moment they were pointed out so straightforwardly, for a while, they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

However, this time, after all, he did not refute it, but after being silent for a long time, he looked at Fan Die'er with a very solemn look: "You are very smart, and what you said is very right." But before we can help you, we're going to go somewhere first. ”

The "we" he said naturally refers to him and Shen Yixue, and the "place to go" he said is the Moshan Village in Shen Yixue's mouth.

At the beginning, Fan Die'er didn't know what the "Moshan Village" that Li Tribulation and Shen Yixue were going to was, but after walking for a while, his face changed.

He stopped and looked at the tribulation: "Are you sure that the direction you are going in is the Moshan Village you are looking for?"

The tribulation was silent, although time had passed, but he was confident that he still remembered the place where this girl had lived for sixteen years, and there would be no mistakes.

What's more, even if he made a mistake himself, he didn't think that Shen Yixue beside him would remember this place wrongly.

However, in fact, Shen Yixue really didn't have too much impress. First, in her previous life, she lived in Moshan Village since she was a child, and almost never left before she was secretly sold by Yuan Ming's mother, Xia.

Second, it was late at night when she was taken away by the two Ya Women, and she was also cold and hungry for two days and three nights.

What's more, for Shen Yixue, that memory was not pleasant, it was a past event that she would rather be dusty forever than remember. Coupled with the reincarnation of two lives, the memory is confused, and it is normal to remember clearly.

Hearing Fan Die'er's question, Shen Yixue also paused: "Is there something wrong?"

Pink Die'er's expression was a little solemn, she carefully observed the surroundings, and muttered: "Although I have never been here, I have heard that there is a very mysterious ghost village hundreds of miles south of Baoying City......

He told some of the information about the ghost village that he had heard, but Li Zheng and Shen Yixue were confused when they heard it.

From Fan Die'er's narrative, we can know that the location of the so-called "ghost village" is actually the village where Shen Yixue lived for 16 years in her previous life, that is, Moshan Village.

Because of the remnant souls of the two Xuanyuan Swords of Shen Yi Xue He Yuanming, the villagers of Moshan Village were first taken away by Wei Mingjie of the Sword Sect of the Xiuzhen Realm with a Qiankun bag, and then they were rescued back to the human realm by the catastrophe, but they immediately evacuated everywhere and never returned to this place.

Therefore, it is understandable to say that Moshan Village is an empty village. It's just that where did the maze come from, there was not even a person in the village, and where did the ghost come from?

There is another point, that is, Shen Yixue and Li Zheng don't know. That is, although all the villagers of Moshan Village who were rescued from the original tribulation were evacuated, after Shen Yixue entered the cultivation realm through the Qilin Peak of Moshan, there were still villagers who had found it.

Of course, this part of the people returned to Moshan Village not to come back and settle down, but for the graves of those ancestors!

After the catastrophe evacuated the living, he didn't think that those villagers had already passed away and buried their ancestors at the foot of Moshan Village. Therefore, there are so many filial sons and grandsons, in order to facilitate the memorial, of course, there may be other reasons, return to Moshan Village again, and the graves of their ancestors are also migrated.

Therefore, not only were the living evacuated in Moshan Village and became an empty village, but even the dead were relocated, leaving many empty graves. Therefore, after someone strayed into Moshan Village and saw those empty graves, they had all kinds of conjectures, which invisibly spread the name of "Ghost Village".

As for why the villagers of Moshan Village were able to enter smoothly when they returned to move the graves, and then they were able to leave smoothly, and when did Moshan Village start to appear in a maze around it, making people unable to enter and exit, even Fan Die'er couldn't say.

After all, these legends are also hearsay when he walked in the rivers and lakes.

There is another thing that Shen Yixue and Li Zheng don't know yet, that is, the person who chased him out of Baoying City, although he lost the trace of the three people for a while, he did not give up, but started a large-scale search.

It was only after finally determining the direction of their departure, which was the ghost village full of horror legends, that they did not continue to catch up, but began to deploy people within the safe range around the ghost village!
