Lu An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and lay on the bed and looked out the window for a while. But he couldn't sleep, he didn't alarm them, he went out for a walk, and he took a walk. By the way, take a message from the wind.

The moon is round and the moonlight is good. Shine on people, cool and cool.

Bayi's home is a two-story house with a large yard in front of the house. In the northeast corner of the yard, there was an old locust tree that was very old and green, and Lu An was standing in the shadow. Gently put your hand on the trunk of the old locust tree, close your eyes, and calm your mind. Integrate into this world and establish communication with the old locust tree.

"Do you know any youkai around here?"

"Am I not just a youkai?"

"Uh... That's not what I meant......"

"Heh, I know." The old locust tree chuckled.

Is it fun to tease people? Lu An's brows twitched.

"Yes, and a lot. But they're all low-level monsters, and they can't even transform. ”

"How can there be so many?" It's still a low-level youkai.

"Because, these are not monsters here, they are from something else."

"Where?"

Lu An frowned, elsewhere?

"Mountains and seas."

The voice of the old locust tree was ethereal and dissipated with the wind.

"What?!"

Lu An was shocked, how could it be?

"Thank you."

"No, it's good that someone knows."

Lu An put down his hand and looked into the distance with his eyes intently.

How so? How can the youkai in the mountains and seas escape? Did something go wrong? Looks like it's going to need a good investigation.

The sound of the door being gently closed alarmed Lu An.

Who?

Lu An hid in the shadows of the trees and watched as the man cautiously closed the door. I looked left and right, but I didn't see anyone, so I walked out gently.

Walking out into the courtyard, he was exposed to the moonlight.

That's Bayi!

It's so late, where is he going?

Lu An was puzzled and went up to take a look.

Lu An followed Bayi all the way out of the village and stopped at the mountain crossing.

I saw him whistle, and a snow-white rabbit popped out of the grass next to him. Bayi said to it, "Xiaobai, go back and tell everyone that you don't want to come out during this time." The demon slayer has arrived, and it's quite powerful. Don't come out, it's scary to get caught. So, don't come out. ”

The rabbit nodded the rabbit's head, and ran into the grass to report back to everyone.

Bayi watched it go away, and then cautiously returned to the house.

Lu An looked at Bayi's figure and was puzzled. If he let these monsters avoid them, why did he ask them to get rid of them?

No, it seems that the village chief invited them. Bayi should have been invalid in opposition, so he took advantage of the night to report to the monsters. That means he has a good relationship with the youkai, so why let them live in his own house? Is it for surveillance, it should be anti-surveillance.

I have to say, he is the truth.

However, there are no monsters in the village. Even if the villagers went out to the nearby town, no monsters attacked them. In this way, the village does not need to worry about the yokai harming them. Why do you want to get rid of demons?

Can't figure it out.

Forget it, go back first. I'll go around the village tomorrow and ask about something. Now, let's go back to sleep. After turning around, my mood is really much better.

Early the next morning, Lu An and the four of them divided into two roads. Mu Yan and Ji Yu went to the village to inquire about things, and Li Yang and Lu An went to the mountains outside the village to check. Lu An didn't tell them about last night. He didn't feel like it was an important clue and there was no need to tell them.

Li Yang and Lu An were walking on the mountain road while looking east and west. Hoping to find something, it's too quiet around. Except for the sound they made, there was only the "whoosh" sound of the leaves blown by the wind.

"There shouldn't be anything around here, let's continue to dig deeper." After Li Yang probed, he said.

Lu An nodded, he knew better than Li Yang.

They went deeper and finally found some traces of activity. After looking at it, it's just this one. They were not disappointed and continued to walk deeper.

When they came to the cave where Bayi came yesterday, Li Yang said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

"Hmm." Lu An responded. He also wanted to know if the youkai who ran out of the mountains and seas were hiding here.

They walked in. The front is close to the entrance of the cave, and they can watch the road ahead. The further they went, the darker it became, and they had to turn on their flashlights to light the way.

All the way forward, it is getting darker and darker, and the demonic aura is getting stronger and stronger. It was so dark that there were no fingers, only the light of the flashlight was shining, which looked deep and terrifying.

They are also so bold that they keep walking. Until there was a little light in front of them, their eyes lit up, and they walked quickly. However, the sight that appeared before their eyes stunned them.

This is not the place when they come in. It is also a mountain forest, but it is wider than the place where they entered. And the demonic aura is also stronger than the outside.

They walked in cautiously, stepping on the dead branches, making a "snapping" sound.

Look around.

Compared to the outside, it is full of life. Outside, there was a dead silence. All the animals outside are here, including the yokai.

It's a place full of life, and youkai and ordinary animals live in harmony. If you ignore the demonic aura in the sky, this can be regarded as a pure land.

They walked cautiously, trying to avoid the monsters and probe inside.

Suddenly, Lu An caught a glimpse of a small grass out of the corner of his eye. The expression was stunned, how could this grass be here?

It was a grass that looked like a leek but had small green flowers, and it was a wishing grass. It grows on Zhaoyao Mountain, the head of the Hainan Mountain, and you can eat it so that you don't feel hungry.

Lu An felt strange and looked around more closely. Sure enough, I found a lot of plants in the mountains and seas. For example, five meters away from where they are. A large tree that has a shape like a structure tree but the grain of the wood is black, and when the flowers bloom, it shines. Wearing its flowers on the body can make people not get lost. There are many more, and he won't say them all.

As they walked on, they saw more of the mountains and seas.

Gradually, however, it happened. They noticed that something was wrong, and it seemed that they had been walking around here since the beginning and had never stepped out.

Lu An looked into the depths where they couldn't go, and there seemed to be an aura that he was familiar with. But he couldn't get in, and he couldn't find out. He had no choice but to give up and said to Li Yang, "Let's go back." ”

"Hmm." Li Yang nodded, he also knew that there would be no progress if he stayed.

So they went back the way they came.

In the village, Ji Yu smiled sweetly. thanked the old man in front of him and walked slowly. He was a little distressed and asked several people, but he didn't ask anything. He looked up at Mu Yan and asked with a pout, "Mu Yan, what should I do?" ”

"Ask everywhere, I really can't ask, so let's go back first." Mu Yan replied calmly. "I'll figure it out with them when the time comes."

"Well, that's all there is to it." Ji Yu pursed his mouth and said.

They asked a few more people one after another, and the result was still the same.

It was getting close to dusk.

"Let's go back." Mu Yan looked at the sky and said.

"Ask one more person, and let's go again." Ji Yu grabbed Mu Yan.

Mu Yan frowned.

"Really, I'm asking someone, and we'll leave after asking." Ji Yu raised three fingers and assured.

"Okay." Mu Yan compromised.

Ji Yu smiled brightly and gave Mu Yan a hug. So he ran to a little girl of about fifteen years old who was playing on the ridge, smiled sweetly and asked, "Little sister, do you have monsters here?" ”

Is it really okay to be so straightforward?

Mu Yan looked at Ji Yu, who was a little stupid, hooked the corners of his lips, and his cold eyebrows and eyes became warm because of this smile.

"Yes." The little girl looked at the beautiful big brother curiously and replied.

"Do you know where it is?" Ji Yu asked happily.

"It's on the hill outside the village." The little girl said innocently. "Big brother, what are you looking for a monster?"

"Of course it's to take him away, otherwise why look for a monster." Ji Yu said a little strangely.

"Big brother, can you not take him away?" The little girl asked him with her big watery eyes.

"Why not?" Ji Yu asked strangely, and Mu Yan also frowned when he heard this.

"Because I saw in the novel that the monster was taken away because he harmed people. But this monster is not harmful, so can you not take him away? The little girl replied innocently.

"This ......" Ji Yu and Mu Yan glanced at each other.

"Yes, if he didn't hurt anyone, we wouldn't take him away." Mu Yan nodded and gave the little girl an affirmative answer. But he also gave her a warning: "But if he hurts someone, we will definitely take him." ”

"Hmm...... I know. The little girl nodded. Instead, he asked, "Big brother, how long are you going to stay here?" ”

"I'm going to leave after I find the youkai." Ji Yu touched her head and replied. "What's wrong?"

"It's the village festival that is about to begin, and if you don't leave, I'd like to invite you to participate." The little girl looked at Ji Yu and said.

"Sacrifice?" Ji Yu was puzzled, and Mu Yan was puzzled. There are still sacrifices, how isolated this village is. Or, how old it is.

"Yes, worship the mountain gods. After the sacrifice, it is the ploughing fire party. The little girl said mysteriously. Legend has it that on the night of the festival, if you confess to your favorite person and succeed, you will be blessed by the mountain god. ”

"Really?" Ji Yu asked.

"Of course it's true, if you want to come. The day after tomorrow, in the middle of the village, the festival begins at noon. The little girl said that her big eyes were full of innocence.

"Okay, I'll go then." Ji Yu said. "Then bye-bye. Little sister, hurry home. ”

"Well, big brother bye." The little girl waved her hand at Ji Yu and Mu Yan.

Ji Yu also waved at her, and the two turned around and left.

Watching them go away, the little girl's waving hand slowly lowered. Continue to play on the ridges, pulling the weeds on the ridges one by one.

It was completely dark.

Ji Yu and Mu Yan returned to Bayi's house and waited for Lu An and Li Yang in the hall. waited until Ji Yu was dozing off, but he still didn't see them come back.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas? Mountain Sutra? The Nanshan Sutra says: "There is grass, its shape is like a leek and Qinghua, its name is called Zhu Yu, and the food is not hungry." There is wood, its shape is like a grain and black reason, its Hua four photos, its name is called a misty grain, and it is not confused. ”
