Fanjiazhai is a large village in the southwest of the Shenzhou mainland, located on a verdant mountain peak hundreds of miles away from Qinghai Lake.

This place is isolated from the world, the people are simple, there are no high-rise buildings, no maglev cars, no hoverboards popular in the city, no hustle and bustle...... Just quiet idyllic scenery.

The entire Fanjiazhai has a population of 6,000, and lives a life of sunrise and ploughing and sunset on this land.

They do not intermarry with outsiders, nor do they yearn for life outside, and live a small life of self-sufficiency among these mountains.

But it is impossible to say that this village has no contact with the outside world at all, but this contact is unilateral, and the people of Fanjiazhai refuse to allow any outsiders to enter their territory without consent, but at the same time they will also take the initiative to learn about the outside information through some means.

Like what...... Computer, Internet!

Yes, there are no TVs or refrigerators in the village, but there are computers and the Internet.

The computer and network cable are installed in the owner's house, and it is the people of Tianfang Company who install these things for him.

With the network, this Fanjiazhai is not closed, and it can also understand the situation outside, but all the information from the outside is transmitted through the owner of the village, which means that the people of Fanjiazhai can only know what the owner of the village wants them to know.

As for why Tianfang Company wants to deal with this semi-closed small village, it is because this village produces a unique herb called "blood velvet flower".

This blood velvet flower has a very magical effect in strengthening qi and blood, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and the demand for such items is very large for martial artists below the grandmaster.

And this blood velvet flower seems to be only cultivated by the people in this Fan family village, and Tianfang Company has not tried to buy the "blood velvet flower" back and plant it by itself, but without exception it has failed.

Zhang Xiaotian's solo mission is related to this Fanjiazhai.

Since a month ago, this village seems to have lost contact with the outside world, and this "outside world", that is, Tianfang Company, has not received any blood velvet flower transaction information from the owner of Fanjiazhai for a month.

In the past, almost every five or six days, an email asking for a trade would be sent, and then Tianfang would send someone to the stockade to barter for blood velvet flowers.

Although the blood velvet flower is not without other herbs with similar functions that can be replaced, but in the same kind of drugs, its effect is the strongest, Tianfang Company is naturally unwilling to give up such a place that can exclusively provide this widely used and powerful herbs, and it also attaches more importance to Fanjiazhai.

But it is obviously impossible to let a behemoth like Tianfang Company mobilize the crowd, so he simply included "Exploring Fanjiazhai" in the task list of the Xinghuo Project, and let the members of Xinghuo do it.

Before Zhang Xiaotian came to Fanjiazhai, the warrior on duty at the gate of the village learned that he was from Tianfang Company and immediately reported the owner of the village.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaotian was warmly welcomed into the village by the owner of the village, and lived in the backyard of the owner of the village that night.

In the early hours of the morning, when Dongfang was slightly pale, Zhang Xiaotian was woken up by his biological clock.

Although he was a little tired from yesterday's battles, years of martial arts practice had already built Zhang Xiaotian's steel-like will, and this bit of sleepiness was nothing at all.

When he pushed away the thin silk futon on his body, he got up cleanly.

Pushing open the window, the light rain of the night had stopped.

The fresh moisture mixed with the scent of earth, trees and wildflowers is overwhelming.

Zhang Xiaotian suddenly felt a clear mind, and his drowsiness was dispelled.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was blue and deep, as if dark and bright, and only the east was white.

As far as the eye can see, the stilted hanging towers built with green bamboo and trees are set against the mountains, and it is a quiet and pale green color.

The stilted crane tower has at least two floors, and it is a unique residential building for the mountain people of Fanjiazhai, some like the buildings of some ethnic minorities in Xishuangbanna, China, in Zhang Xiaotian's previous life. Because of the ruggedness of the mountain, the first floor is a huge wooden pile, and the second floor is the dwelling place of the people.

Walking out of the stilted building where he lived, Zhang Xiaotian started his morning class in the courtyard, and in an instant, the empty courtyard was filled with sword light.

After finishing the merit, a burst of applause came from the courtyard gate, Zhang Xiaotian was not surprised, he had already found out that someone was coming.

"Little Brother Zhang is really good martial arts, and he deserves to be the elite of your company's Spark Plan!"

An old man in a green robe walked in with an appreciative face, this person is the owner of this Fan family village - Fan Weiqing, a martial artist of the fifth-level realm of source power.

The morning sun rose, and the sun was shining.

The mountain fog is not very thick, and it is easily pierced by the sword-like sun.

Fan Weiqing led Zhang Xiaotian to wander around the village, and said with some flattery, "Recently, there have been several incidents of missing people in the village, so the transaction with your company has been delayed, and I am very sorry!" ”

Zhang Xiaotian asked quietly: "Master Fan Zhai, can you tell us more about the disappearance of this person?" ”

"Of course!" Fan Weiqing didn't treat Zhang Xiaotian as an outsider, and he probably still had the idea of letting him help together, so he talked to Zhang Xiaotian in detail.

The incident happened more than a month ago, a family of five disappeared mysteriously in the southeast corner of Fanjiazhai, and someone had seen the family during the day before, but it was only one night, and the family disappeared as if evaporated.

Strangely, there was no sign of a fight at home, as if they had run away from home on their own initiative.

Of course, it is impossible to run away from home, because the soft belongings of the family are well placed and have not been moved, and there are even a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks that are not washed in the sink.

Why did you go out overnight?

But after rummaging through the entire Fanjiazhai and the area near Fanjiazhai, I couldn't find any clues, and it was really like disappearing out of thin air.

Subsequently, on the third night of the family's disappearance, another family disappeared en masse, and in the same situation, there was no trace left in the home.

Then three days later, there was another family, such as every three days in Fanjiazhai, a family disappeared collectively, no matter how vigilant the village was, it could not be stopped.

This caused a great panic in the village, everyone was afraid that the next one would be themselves, and people were panicked, so they naturally couldn't care about the transaction with Tianfang Company.

It was evening again, Zhang Xiaotian carefully pondered the scene in the dream, especially the details, almost frame by frame "playing" the picture.

In the dream, he didn't find anything, on the day he was about to leave, he didn't know that "that thing" that came out of there appeared and was hunted down and killed a day later, and finally died in the hands of "that thing", he was very sure that "that thing" was related to the disappearance of the people in Fanjiazhai now.

Looking at the details of this dream over and over again, suddenly a sentence from a certain Fan family villager in the picture caught his attention, "The Fan family has really fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and the missing families are all blood relatives within five suits of the Fan family......
