After Yan Hua's cheekiness in the past few days, Bai Yanjun finally sent this uncle away.

At the foot of Luofu Mountain, the road surface became much smoother, and Ling Xiao rented a carriage and planned to go to Qingcheng Mountain.

"Why is it so troublesome? You can get there in one day against the wind, and it takes five or six days to take a carriage, so it's not too troublesome? ”

Yan Hua was the first to get into the carriage and chose a window position in the car early to sit, which aroused the disdain of Xian Kongqing on the side.

Ling Xiao smiled: "It's not bad to see the scenery of the world all the way, stay in the Void Realm all day long, and be a little bored." ”

Yan Hua raised his eyebrows, thinking about it.

Several big men always felt crowded in a small carriage, Xian Kongqing glanced at a white-haired young man beside Yan Hua who was not tall and thin, and when he saw his face, he poked Ling Xiao, who was sitting in the front row and was about to drive, and asked softly: "Who is this person?" ”

"I don't know." Ling Xiao shook his head.

I don't know if you still let him get into the carriage?? Senior brother is really big-hearted!

Xian Kongqing cleared his throat, sat opposite Yan Hua, and asked him, "Hey, who is he?" ”

Yan Hua originally looked out the window and heard his question, first glanced at Xian Kongqing with a slanted gaze, and then slowly spoke: "It's just a child, I kept pestering Kunlun and said that I wanted to come out and have a look, so I brought him over." ”

"Really?"

Xian Kongqing looked Luo Jia up and down, seeing that he was not much younger than himself, but his body was much weaker, with cowardice in his eyes, he sat beside Yan Hua obediently without saying a word.

"Can there be fake? It's no good for me to lie to you. Yan Hua's expression was natural when he replied, and Xian Kongqing was no longer suspicious.

"Drive! ——”

With the sound of a horse, the four of them embarked on the road to Qingcheng Huiwu.

……

After a day's journey, he was bumped by the carriage and felt like he was falling apart, Yan Hua rubbed his neck, and asked Luo Jia, who was sitting on the side, to beat him for him.

Luo Jia let out an "oh" and massaged his legs like an obedient servant.

This......

Xian Kongqing watched from the side, but he could only knead his sour neck by himself, and secretly "cut" it dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the carriage braked suddenly, and the three of them, except for Yan Hua, were almost thrown out by inertia.

Luo Jia was pulled by Yan Hua, recovered from the panic, and opened the curtain again to look outside: "What happened?" ”

Xian Kongqing, who was frightened by the sudden brakes, did not sit still, and at this time he had already fallen into the carriage and ate, which attracted a burst of ridicule from Yan Hua.

He didn't pay attention to Yan Hua, got up and patted the ash on his body and got out of the carriage.

"Senior brother, why did you stop suddenly?"

Outside the carriage, it was already dark, and the white mist under the moonlight shrouded the deep woods behind them, and at this moment, they had reached the outskirts of the woods, and in front of them was a gloomy-looking village.

"Something is wrong with the village." Ling Xiao's voice sounded faintly, "Get out of the car and go into the village to rest for the night." ”

Wrong?

Xian Kongqing's eyes roughly swept the entire village, this place was built along with the deep mountains behind, and the mountains turned from green to black at night, making the whole village feel gloomy and cold.

Several people got out of the car one after another, and it was not until Ling Xiao parked the carriage on the side of the road that it seemed to be uncared for that they stood on the path at the entrance of the village, quietly looking inside.

"What is this place...... Yan Hua, I'm afraid ......" Luo Jia's trembling voice came from his short body, and he hid behind Yan Hua, but the white hair was still eye-catching.

There was indeed an infiltrating atmosphere here, but Yan Hua didn't even smell a trace of demonic or ghostly energy.

I saw him bump Ling Xiao on the side with his shoulder and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ling Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he always felt that this village was weird, but he couldn't tell where it was, so he could only say: "It's just that something is wrong, or you will rest here tonight, you should all be tired, let's go tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xian Kongqing refused, he took Ling Xiao's hand and didn't let go: "Senior brother, this place is too strange, let's hurry up, just get to the town in front, if you can't do it, we will lose the carriage, and we will go by ourselves." ”

Ling Xiao tore his hand away: "Don't try to save trouble all day long, it's not a bad thing to go down the mountain to practice, and getting in touch with more people and things will help you increase your experience." ”

With a pout, Xian Kongqing had nothing to say.

He, the elder brother, looks normal on weekdays, but he is too serious.

Wake up in the morning to exercise, be punctual, and practice......

In short, there are a lot of truths that can be said, oh yes! And the sentence he said the most was: the back must be straight!

Although Xian Kongqing knows that it is understandable to do this, he still feels a little bored when he always whispers it in his ear.

But other than that, he is good at everything, Xian Kongqing likes this senior brother very much, and he is also very willing to stay with him.

Thinking of this, he came back to his senses, and secretly glanced at Yan Hua beside him, he didn't mind staying here for one night, playing with his black and long hair like a nobody, like a woman.

Guttering unhappily, Xian Kongqing could only follow Ling Xiao into the village.

This village is called Zhangguo Village, it is the only way to go to Huibao Town, beyond Zhangguo Village, there is a large area of dark mountains in front of it, the mountain road at night is not easy to walk, and it is completely dark, I think this is also the purpose of Ling Xiao wanting to stay here.

It is also strange to say, the village of Zhangguo at night is incredible, regardless of the simple thatched huts, none of them have oil lamps, and even the insects in the wild can not be heard.

The four of them walked back and forth on the path in the village, and because it was too dark, Yan Hua couldn't help but use his mana to conjure a lantern.

The surroundings lit up instantly.

The path was overgrown with weeds on both sides, as if untended, and the ground was full of standing water, forming multiple puddles.

On both sides of the road, there are several dirt paths connecting the few or so families in the village, and as far as the eye can see, the crude houses are all dark and strangely quiet, as if they are uninhabited.

Luo Jia, who was walking behind Yan Hua, was already timid, and at this time, he was trembling lightly with Yan Hua, and he didn't dare to leave for half a moment.

Suddenly, as if he felt that something was staring at him behind him, Luo Jia seemed to be electrocuted all over his body, and he stopped in his footsteps.

Yan Hua noticed his strange appearance and turned around to look at him: "What's wrong?" ”

"I, I feel like something is watching me."

Seeing him so scared, Yan Hua was helpless, he was also a snake demon, so he was afraid of this?

While thinking so, he raised the lantern in his hand and shone it at the position behind him, but found nothing.

"Nothing, maybe it's an illusion." He whispered.

At this moment, Ling Xiao and Xian Kongqing, who were walking at the forefront, noticed that the two people who had stopped their steps also looked back at the two of them.

"What do you see?" Ling Xiao asked.

Yan Hua: "It's nothing, the child is timid, maybe it's a mouse or something." ”

Just as he was about to continue walking, this time Chang Xian Kongqing stopped moving, only to hear his slightly trembling voice floating.

"No, it's not a rat......"

Xian Kongqing was facing the door of a house, and he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the path in front of the house.

Everyone stared at the direction he was pointing, and vaguely, under the red and yellow light of the lantern, through the moonlight, they could barely see a dark shadow standing straight there.

It was motionless, only half a meter high, like a larger cat.

Seeing this, the four of them did not act rashly, the doubts that rose in their hearts were like a piece of paper pierced by water droplets, the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and their doubts were getting more and more, guessing what it was, Luo Jia's voice came again.

"There's there too."

His slender arm pointed towards the black shadow in the center of the other path, which was the same as the one he had just seen, the same height, size, and even the way he was standing.

Suddenly, Yan Hua only felt uneasy in his heart, he seemed to have guessed something, so he took the lantern and looked in the direction of several other paths.

Sure enough, there was such a black thing on the dirt road in front of every house.

What's that, exactly?

"I'll go take a look." Ling Xiao wanted to take the lead, but was stopped by Yan Hua.

"I'll go."

Unexpectedly, Yan Hua just took a step out, only to realize that Luo Jia had been tugging at his clothes and refused to let go.

"I'll go with you." Luo Jia pouted and whispered.

What can I do? Yan Hua shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Feel free." ”

The two of them went one after the other, Yan Hua's steps were very big, Luo Jia hurried to catch up with him, and Ling Xiao and Xian Kongqing, who were in the same place, both stretched their necks and waited for his news.

The lantern at night looked at from afar, like a ball of light floating in the air, and only this one light source was lit in the whole village, which was very weird.

Yan Hua avoided several puddles on the ground and cautiously came to the vicinity of the black shadow.

When the lantern is lifted, the faint yellow light illuminates the black shadow of the pestle in the middle of the road.

It turned out to be a small figure carved out of wood.

It's just that the wood is reddish, as if it has been soaked in blood.

Yan Hua squatted down and took a closer look, its sunken eyes were like a pair of deep black holes, staring at people's hearts, and its slender mouth grinned, the strange thing is that the openings at the corners of the mouth on both sides extended to the ears, if Gao Qingzhu was at the scene at the moment, she would definitely think of an urban legend in a certain island country - Rift Girl.

The atmosphere was too quiet, and Luo Jia was even more scared.

He could only try his best to hold on to Yan Hua to calm down, but the feeling of being stared at always lingered.

Finally couldn't bear the pressure, he spoke: "Yan Hua, what is this?" Why don't we go quickly, I don't think this village is normal. ”

"No need to go, stay here tonight."

Suddenly, Yan Hua got up calmly and walked towards the dark shadow on the other road, and Luo Jia hurriedly followed.

Yan Hua seemed to want to confirm something, and it wasn't until he saw that the other black shadow was also a small figure carved from wood, that he was sure what these things were.

I saw him in the direction of Ling Xiao and Xian Kongqing, and raised his voice and said, "Hey, go and see, are there villains like this kind of wood carving in front of several other houses?" ”

Woodcarving? Ling Xiao and Xian Kongqing didn't understand, but they did what he said.

After they finished reading it one by one, as Yan Hua said, they were all wooden villains, except for their weird facial expressions and the bright red wood that was not like the usual color, there was nothing unusual about the rest.

"What are these?" Ling Xiao asked.

Yan Hua tilted his head, swept his gaze over one of the humanoid wood carvings, and replied, "They are just some sacrificial dolls, but Zhanggu Village ......"

He paused abruptly, frowning.

Xian Kongqing was anxious in his heart, urging him to speak quickly.

Only then did Yan Hua confide out the second half of the sentence: "If my guess is correct, the entire Zhangguo Village has been sacrificed alive." ”
