Zhao Zimai walked out under the gaze of Baotian's "good show", and followed Mu Xiaowu and Mu Cripple to the outside of the courtyard.

Now that the sunset has completely set behind the mountain, the entire Sanping Village is shrouded in darkness and silence, except for the sound of the rushing water of the Yuhe River, there is not a single sound. A gust of wind rushed from the front, blowing the big wind on Zhao Zimai's body up, he felt that the wind was very cold, as if he had felt such a cold wind on the ferry back to China, when the ship drove over an iceberg.

He sighed at the palm of his hand, only to find that Mu Xiaowu was still wearing a single shirt, and there were still a few drops of bright sweat on his forehead, so he swallowed back the apology that had come to his mouth, and without thinking too much, he reached out and touched her forehead, and said two words, "Is it hot?" ”

As soon as he said that, he had already realized that his behavior was not in line with etiquette, at least, it was not in line with Chinese etiquette, so he hurriedly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, the two people on the opposite side were informal, Mu Xiaowu stretched out her hand to wipe away the sweat, and did not answer his question, only talking about her own, "Childe, we walked around this Sanping Village today, trying to find the evil that devoured Gu Yuming's soul." But the evil cult was not found, but we found out something else. ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she was in a hurry, Zhao Zimai also put other things behind for the time being, and hurriedly asked.

"The dragon vein here is broken." Mu Xiaowu's eyes were very bright, like two cold stars in the night sky.

"Dragon vein?"

Mu Xiaowu pointed to the northwest, "Do you see that mountain?" It is called Pagoda Mountain, winding and circling, looking back faintly, such as the dragon looking back, it is the dragon vein of Sanping Village and even the whole Dongchang. However, several months of continuous heavy rain have saturated and loosened the mountain of Baota Mountain, and it has collapsed many times in a row, damaging the dragon vein. ”

Zhao Zimai's heart trembled, "What happens if the dragon vein is broken?" ”

"As soon as the dragon vein is broken, the dragon will become a remnant dragon and a dead dragon, and it will not be able to suppress the things below." Mu lame shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, making a helpless gesture, "I think, that's why that thing can come out, but there is more terrible in the back, don't be scared when you say it." ”

"Don't scare him, just say it." Mu Xiaowu urged him on the side.

Mu lame then cleared his throat, "Childe, there is still a little bit of the dragon vein left, but according to our observation, it won't last long, so"

"You mean, that thing is not fully formed yet, and when the dragon veins all collapse, it will reveal its true face, and it will be a hundred times more fierce than it is now?" Zhao Zimai was suddenly a little glad that it was dark now, otherwise his bloodless face would be seen by Mu Xiaowu again.

Mu Xiaowu nodded, "This is the reason why I spent a lot of effort to embroider Gu Yuming's soul back that day, the soul is not reluctant to return, but he does not dare to return, because he saw the Yin Qi condensed around Sanping Village, and he was afraid." ”

At this, she sneered, and lowered her head to pick at her fingernails, but her eyes were rolling around, as if she was carefully considering what she was going to say.

"Xiao Wu, are you leaving?" Although it was a question, Zhao Zimai's tone was very flat, because he had already guessed her thoughts. Seeing that she didn't answer, he smiled at her, "You don't have to be so entangled, you came here to embroider Gu Yuming's soul, and now that everything you need to do has been done, there is really no need to stay here anymore." ”

"But we're leaving, what should you do, Childe?" Mu Xiaowu finally raised her head and looked directly at him, but the sneering smile on her face had not faded, and her whole face was vivid and interesting.

Zhao Zimai solemnized his face, "Since ancient times, no one has died, and there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Hearing this, Mu Xiaowu and Mu Cripple were shocked at the same time, and one said, "There's no need to put yourself on it, right?" One said, "I can't help it, take the initiative to send him to death, it's not a hero but Luffy." ”

After speaking, seeing a smile on Zhao Zimai's face, Mu Xiaowu knew that he had been deceived, so he folded his arms and shook his head and said, "Childe has already taken a countermeasure, right?" ”

"No," the faint smile on his face disappeared, "but I will persuade Gu Yuyin again, if he listens, it will be good, if he doesn't listen, then he can only bear the consequences." ”

He told the two of them truthfully about seeing Xiaota and going to find Gu Yuyin, and after speaking, he said thoughtfully, "Xiao Wu, you say, is repentance useful?" ”

Mu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows, "Confessor, confess his past sorrows; Those who repent, regret their remorse. It means that the person who has done evil will not repeat his mistakes, and it stands to reason that the mistakes that have already been committed cannot be remedied. However, the old man and I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, but we have seen many evils that have been calmed down by the repentance of those who have done evil. For example, the year before last, there was a butcher's mother who died of illness, but the old lady's soul did not want to leave, and wandered around the house, making the house uneasy, so the butcher asked us to help over. Saying that, she patted Mu Cripple, "The old man played well that day, and he embroidered the old lady's soul at once, but as soon as the old man returned to his soul, he began to scold the butcher, saying that there was no filial son before the sickbed, and that he didn't even change a decent shirt when he left." When the butcher heard this, he knelt down on the spot and kowtowed to his wife, wept bitterly, slapped his ears and scraped them, and swollen both sides of his face. Strange to say, the originally fierce soul gradually quieted down, and I could feel her resentment dissipate, so she was quickly sent away by the old man. ”

Speaking of this, she sneered, "Childe, guess what happened later, when the butcher saw that the old lady's soul was exceeded, he immediately put away his tears, jumped three feet high with joy, and changed his face faster than the sky." After that time, I knew that the most sinister thing in this world was really not the unjust soul, but here. ”

She pointed to her heart, "Some people, here is never good. ”

Hearing these words, Zhao Zimai was silent for a long time, but Mu Xiaowu didn't notice that her attention was attracted by another thing. She turned her face to look at the shadow of Pagoda Mountain not far away, paused for a moment, and muttered, "Not good, dragon vein"

Zhao Zimai and Mu Cripple both followed her gaze, only to hear a loud "boom", the cliff shook a few times, and fell suddenly, splashing a hazy cloud of smoke and dust, like a stormy wave set off by the sea.

At the same time, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps in the grass behind them, which trampled on the brittle yellow grass roots and dry leaves that lay on the ground, and slowly came in their direction.
