It's still woodland, but the vegetation is a little sparse. The plants and trees were dejected and desolate, just like the few of them. Jun Aoyan walked to the side of a mountain wall and looked up, this place is not steep, and there are plants on the hillside that can be helped, but I don't know where to go after crossing the low mountain. She turned her head, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Liu Shenghan bending over and stretching out his hands between two small trees not far away, as if to depict something there.

"Chills? What are you doing? ”

Jun Aoyan asked as he leaned closer to her. The others were also attracted by her abrupt voice, and turned around one after another. Liu Shenghan stretched out a free hand and beckoned to her: "The spiritual power here is not going in the right direction, I probably see some clues." ”

"What's the clue?" Qi Huan asked, "Are you painting?" ”

"It's not a painting...... It is to erase the 'ink' from it. There's a door here. ”

"Door?"

As she spoke, the blank space gradually revealed a different outline. They gathered around Liu Shenghan, and watched as a structure resembling a fence appeared. Liu Shenghan gently pushed, and the fence door opened. She took two tentative steps, and noticed a path beneath her feet, as if she could enter.

Ming Ming curiously walked around to the other side and exclaimed loudly, "What's the matter?" Where have you gone, I can't see you here! ”

"Maybe it's some kind of enchantment, right?" Qi Huan started his spirit, and was amazed, "There should be a hole in this, but outside, you really can't see it at all." ”

Although I don't know where this road leads, in this barren woodland, it is also a breakthrough to make progress. Needless to say, several people entered one after another, and Jun Aoyan, who was the last to come in, also took the door with him. Liu Sheng waited by the door, and added a few strokes there, drawing it into the original ordinary appearance.

When you look up again, the scenery is turned upside down. It was like an ordinary quiet village, and the place where they stopped seemed to be the entrance to the village. When I looked back, I couldn't see the barren forest outside. The neat path seems to have been specially repaired, surrounded by a large bamboo sea, and the forest road can be seen to twist and turn apart 100 meters away, vaguely leading to many small buildings hidden in the bamboo forest. Smoke rises from the swaying bamboo shadows, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes this small village even more strange.

"This ...... What is it? ”

I don't know who asked the doubts in everyone's hearts. Naturally, no one among them could answer. Ming Ming couldn't wait to urge: "Let's go, go into the village and ask someone, don't you know!" ”

With that, he had already jumped up and down and walked in first. The other four followed, without dissent, and walked along the path under their feet towards the woods. On both sides of the trail are verdant bamboos, full of life, and people feel a little more relaxed. Occasionally, you can hear sporadic roosters and dogs barking in the village, conveying the warmth of human fireworks to tired travelers.

After going around the bamboo forest a few times, and before they could get close to the faint people's homes, they suddenly saw someone walking towards them.

The man was empty-handed, visibly watching them, a little guarded, but not hostile. As I got closer, I could see a faint smile on his face, revealing polite detachment from strangers. This kind of normal rustiness is contrary to the enthusiasm with ulterior motives, but it makes their hearts relax a little.

From a distance, the person who came was wearing a white dress with his hands behind his back, but the sleeves were too short, which was a little strange. When they got a little closer, they realized that his hands were naturally hanging at his sides, and that the dress was also long-sleeved, but in the opposite jet black. This person is born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Zhou Zheng is dignified, and his temperament is very elegant, not like an ordinary mountain person.

When a few people stood opposite each other, he politely arched his hand to the group: "It's snowing, I don't know how to call a few people?" ”

They reported their names in turn, and Xue Mo also greeted them one by one, with a calm expression, only when they saw Mingming, a little surprise flashed on their faces. After greetings, he said with some hesitation:

"Our village is a bit remote, and there is an enchantment outside the village. I don't know how many guests got here? ”

"We're not locals." Liu Shenghan said truthfully, "The road is unfamiliar, we lost our way in the mountains, and we reached this place by groping through the spiritual veins. I happened to find a strange spiritual power, and I was curious for a moment, so I pushed the door open, and I asked you not to be surprised. ”

With her words, Xue Mo's expression seemed to relax a little. He said something like, "It's okay, don't worry," and then asked them where they wanted to go, and why they got lost in the mountains—did they know that this was the domain of the bird god Garuda?

Liu Shenghan answered them one by one, using some spring and autumn brushwork, only to tell him that his group didn't know where to go, and they wanted to find a way out, so they would go out first. As for the bird god, they also met, and they didn't talk much about it, and the relationship was a little tense. What's more helpless is that they have something important left on the Divine Bird, and they don't know what to do. I found that there was no cave here, so I tried to come in, and I wanted to find a place to rest and discuss the itinerary.

The atmosphere that was completely different from the outside world made everyone feel a little relieved, but Bai Ya was still staring at Xue Mo vigilantly. The latter didn't mind, he nodded frequently as he listened to Liu Shenghan's words, and finally groaned.

"In that case, come with me. My home is quite big enough for a few of you to spend the night together. He smiled tolerantly at Bai Ya, "Of course, you can also turn back the way you came and find a place to live on your own." However, the night in the mountains is somewhat dangerous, so you should pay more attention to safety. ”

Bai Ya looked away and didn't say anything. Liu Shenghan tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"You are willing to give us a place to stay temporarily, and we are naturally grateful. You're here to show the way. ”

"Well, you're welcome."

Xuemo led them through the bamboo forest, giving them a brief introduction to the village. According to him, this village is called Bamboo Village. This village is also worthy of its name, not only is there bamboo planted everywhere, but even the small buildings hidden in the forest are originally covered with bamboo. Or, rather, the buildings are made of bamboo. They are very different from ordinary village houses, more like small buildings in the southwest of their hometown, with a few bamboo pillars at the bottom of the house propping up in the air. Looking at the bamboo forest, the huts seem to be floating in the air.

There are a few villagers busy next to each small building, some are cleaning up the debris piled up under the house, and some people have fenced around and raised chickens under the house, which are being fed at this time. They also saw an older woman, with her waist crossed and shouting in a long tone at the door, listening to the contents, probably because the child was naughty and did not know where to run.

To their surprise, almost everyone would temporarily stop what they were doing when they saw them and greet Xue Mo loudly, with kindness in their tones. Perhaps because Xuemo is quite popular, although the eyes of the villagers looking at these outsiders are unfamiliar, they are frank and pure, without the slightest malice.

"Here it is...... Paradise? Qi Huan muttered, and at the end corrected himself, "No, the world's outer bamboo source?" ”

Xue Mo glanced at him with a smile.

"Not really. If you have to say, it's about the Pure Land of troubled times. ”

His home was in the depths of the village, a hanging tower more magnificent than what they had seen on the road. It's just that there seems to be no trace of other people's lives in this house, only Xue Mo alone beckoned them into the door and sat around in the hall.

"You have traveled a long way, and it is also hard. There are some things that I don't want to tire you to answer me when you stand on the road outside the village. ”

"You treat us so kindly, if you have any questions, we will answer."

"Since you say so, I'm relieved. Miss Liu, you seem to be quite apprehensive when answering the question. Could you please tell me more about what happened to you? Where did you come from, why did you come here, and what important items were missing? Besides......" he paused briefly, "what contradiction do you have with the bird god?" It's not polite to chase away guests, but as the guardian of this village, if I can't figure out where you came from, and can't be sure that you're safe with us, I'll have to ask you to leave. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"Guardians?"

To everyone's surprise, Bai Ya suddenly became difficult. He looked at Xue Mo with a strained face, even if it wasn't for the sake of malice, but he was completely vigilant.

"Or a Patronus, or something? Whatever it is, you're not a guardian. ”

He bit the word "human" very hard.

Jun Aoyan was stunned: "Are you ...... How can you see it? You really are ......."

"Bai Shaoxia is right." Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Xuemo generously admitted, "I am indeed not human. But don't be alarmed. You should see it for yourselves along the way. These villagers are indeed real human beings. ”

It was Bai Ya who asked. He nodded, in agreement.

"They look like they're being oppressed and bullied?"

"How can I be." Ming Ming interjected, "They look much happier than the people in our village." And I like you very much. ”

Xue Mo smiled at the child.

"So, you can also see that the territory under the rule of Takemura and the bird god is not very different, and I don't think the same as the other demons here. When you come here, you should also know the rules of the bird god outside, and it is logical that you are angry. But Takemura and I are not like those demons and things, you don't have to be angry with me. ”

Bai Ya exhaled and relaxed his expression slightly.

"We'll tell you where we're going. But correspondingly, I also want to...... Learn more about you. ”

"Of course, that's fair."

Bai Ya roughly explained the origins and intentions of several people, and also revealed to him how much the friction with the Divine Bird Lord was revealed. Xuemo kept his promise and happily introduced his origins to them. From the conversation, they learned that he was indeed not human, but a rare monster.

"Iron-eating beasts?" Liu Sheng's cold face was surprised.

"Yes, iron-eaters—I understand, our people are not common...... Presumably, there are still many of my people alive in the world. It's just that in this Nine Heavens, we are already scarce. Up to now, there is only this small bamboo forest left in this entire mountainous area. I'm the only iron-eating beast left here. ”

Xue Mo seemed to say lightly, and her tone was somewhat stunned. After all, he hadn't mentioned his past for a long time.
