Stepping onto the white-fronted tiger, our speed suddenly increased by a notch.

The rugged mountain road, overgrown with thorns and bushes, was like walking on the ground at the feet of the tiger, following a wisp of smoke, running over half the mountain, and suddenly stopped.

Qin Yin looked around blankly, "Why did the smoke disperse here?" ”

I said, "Due to its age, the fragility of the tracking charm itself, and the strange energy field in the vicinity, the smoke was dispersed. ”

"But judging from the distance, the person in the portrait should be around here."

Qin Yin hugged the frightened Qin Lan from the tiger's back, "Then let's go separately to find a populated place, whether we find it or not, we will meet every half an hour." ”

"No, you don't."

I pulled out the scimitar stuck in the side of my backpack, and the sweltering mountain forest seemed to have been torn open, and the scene ahead suddenly became clear.

It is really rare to find a patchwork of bamboo houses, bamboo buildings near mountains and rivers, and Pyongyang surrounded by small bridges and flowing water surrounded by mountains.

Because we are standing halfway up the mountain, we can overlook the Miao Village below.

In the huge clearing next to the stream, hundreds of men, women and children dressed in Miao costumes are bowing to a statue.

The strange fluctuations that blocked my spell were created when the crowd bowed.

As for the person carved on the statue, I am even more familiar with it.

The woman on the statue has delicate facial features with a touch of charm, is not tall, and has the iconic seven-star mole under the neck against the collarbone.

Isn't this Murong Changqing, who is alive and well.

Qin Yin also noticed this, and her pretty face was gloomy and her teeth gurgle, "This old woman's hands and feet are all stretched out here!" ”

"Let's go down and have a look."

The three of us walked along the mountain path to the altar.

As an orthodox branch of the Southern Xinjiang lineage, it is not surprising that the inheritor of the Tianshan lineage represented by Murong Changqing appeared in the Hainan region.

And Murong Changqing is an orthodox faction, and as her followers in this village, if I explain my relationship with Murong Changqing, I may be able to get preferential treatment.

Walking into a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, I was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Qin Yin's arm, "The Wuzhai sacrifice can't be interrupted, if you want to ask, you have to wait for them to finish worshipping." ”

Looking at the crowd beating gongs and drums, dancing and chanting incantations, I couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?" ”

"Look at the woman in the center, kneeling on one knee and knocking on the scabbard of the Miao knife, proving that the village has been violated by evil creatures, and she is begging the idol stone to bring strength to drive away the invading monsters."

"Also, she is the only one kneeling on the field, and the rest of the people are kneeling on both knees, plus the woman has a snake pattern on her neck, it can be seen that she is the high priest of the village."

"In addition, the middle-aged man and woman who stood on the periphery of the altar and did not participate in the sacrifice are the owners and couples of the village, so when you talk to them for a while, you should be more respectful."

I couldn't help but feel strange, from the arrogant and lawless Qin Yin's mouth, I could hear the word "respect"?

Qin Yin stared at the altar with a solemn face, "In Miao Village, there are not a few Gu masters who know the evil art of Qimen, so you must be extra careful and definitely not have a conflict with these people." ”

I probably have some judgment on the power of Buddhism, Taoism, and even things in the underworld.

But the strength of witchcraft and Momen mechanism comes from external objects, so I can't tell the difference.

If Qin Yin can be jealous of this, I must also be careful......

The worshippers were so devout that they didn't notice us standing by.

During the worship, my eyebrows suddenly trembled, and I had a bad premonition in my heart.

The special energy fluctuations generated by the worship created a unique playground in which I was enveloped and my five senses were not as sensitive as before.

And Qin Lan, who was standing next to me, turned a little pale with panic. She clutched the corner of my coat, "Master, there's something watching us there!" ”

Following the direction of Qin Lan's finger, I didn't see anything.

But after a few breaths, a gray figure swooped out of the dense bushes, quickly approaching the middle-aged woman standing on the periphery!

Only then did I realize that the gray figure was a naked man!

The strange thing is that the man's skin is blue-gray, fine scales are faintly visible in the sun, and his eyes are triangular, and his vertical pupils are shining with a faint blue light, which is particularly fierce.

Qin Yin subconsciously protected Qin Lan behind him, and said with a vigilant expression: "I finally know why this group of people are here to pray for blessings and disasters. ”

"Near Miao Village, there are many half-human and half-snake monsters hidden, these guys are extremely fast, and their strength is several times that of ordinary people!"

"Let's stay farther away, lest we touch the mold."

The half-human, half-snake monster appeared, and the sacrificial crowd was in chaos, and the middle-aged man who was the owner of the village angrily pulled out the Miao knife on his waist and made a gesture to cut it.

But the male snake demon was extremely fast, picked up the plump middle-aged woman, and rushed to my place at a strange speed.

Qin Yin hurriedly shouted to me, "You occupy its way to escape, get out of the way!" ”

But I didn't retreat, but just stood straight.

The male snake demon had a woman, so he didn't mean to entangle me, and when he was about to collide, he suddenly changed direction and wanted to burrow into the nearby woods.

I took a thin bamboo branch in my mouth, rolled it in the center with my tongue, and blew it gently when the male snake demon turned his back to me.

But anything that touches my body can ward off all evils, even the most ordinary saliva.

The moment I was pierced by the bamboo branch, the male snake demon let out a terrible howl, and a stumbling fell to the ground, and the plump woman just threw it in front of me.

The effect of saliva is not strong, and if it were a bamboo branch stained with my blood piercing the body of the male snake demon, it would be gone.

But when I first arrived, I didn't just have any grievances between the male snake demon and the village, so I didn't want to do much.

The woman in my arms took off her hand, and the male snake demon subconsciously wanted to come to me to rob someone.

"You dare!"

I drank angrily, with a rhyme in it.

The male snake demon subconsciously retreated in fright, and when he saw that the people from the village behind him had caught up, he glared at me resentfully, gave up the woman and turned around and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Qin Yin exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability!" ”

I said calmly: "Anything related to the underworld, touching me is looking for death." ”

At this time, I noticed that Qin Lan had been standing beside me, looking unusually calm.

I asked, "Aren't you afraid of the monster just now?" ”

Qin Lan shook his head, "I know, he can't hurt you and your mother." ”

As an existence close to the soul immortal, Qin Lan's intuition and prediction ability are much more accurate than my calculations.

The basilisk can't hurt me, that's normal.

But Qin Yin didn't have the slightest defense just now, and she couldn't summon Gu worms to resist the enemy in a short period of time, why did Qin Lan say that the snake demon couldn't hurt her either?

Don't...... Qin Yin still has powerful hole cards that I don't know?

Just when I was stunned, hundreds of people in the stockade hula came up.

The frightened woman, whose skin had been touched by the snake demon was blue and purple, was being smeared with special herbs by the woman who had just presided over the sacrifice.

I stared at the high priest for a long time, and felt that between her eyebrows and eyes, she was very similar to Qin Yin, except that her body was plump, and between her eyebrows and eyes she looked more mature.

And the breath of the two is also very similar.

At this time, the owner of the village excitedly held my hand and said something with spittle.

He spoke in the local dialect, and I couldn't understand a word, but I could only see gratitude and kindness in his eyes.

The owner of the village is of medium stature, he should be forty-two years old from the face, his body is covered with all kinds of silver ornaments, and his clothes are a little more fancy than ordinary people.

Qin Yin on the side translated: "His name is Menghen, and he is the owner of Tagou Village, thank you very much for your help." He also said that you are a hero, a distinguished guest of the village, and his benefactor. ”

The woman who had been anointed with herbs, still recovering from her fright, bowed down to me, as if muttering words of thanks.

What I didn't expect was that the plump priestess also knew Mandarin, "Our lady of the village owner, thank you very much for your rescue, I hope you can appreciate the light, go to the village to live for two people, let us do our best to the friendship of the landlord." ”

Right now, we can't afford to delay a single day.

Taking advantage of this time, I helped the owner of the village to save a life and gain their gratitude, so I simply took out the bronze medal from my backpack, "If you really want to be grateful, can you help me investigate the whereabouts of this thing?" ”

The moment I took out the bronze medal, everyone in Tagou Village was stunned.
