CHAPTER XIII

White Village.

The twilight was dreary, and the clouds were bleak.

The whole village was surrounded by smoke, and many vultures gathered on the high and low trees. From time to time, a few crows flew by, making miserable calls.

Not far away, there were several people dressed as Taoist priests, one was very old, and most of the rest were in their early twenties, all of them were thin and had fairy bones.

"This fellow Daoist, may I ask what kind of sect you are?" Wakamizu asked.

"Me? Hmph, Qintian Imperial History! The old Taoist priest glanced at Ruoshui angrily, wondering where this pheasant Taoist priest came from, with a woman and a little kid by his side.

Wakasui smiled politely. This Qintian Imperial History is very big, they are a group of strange people recruited by the imperial court, including people who specialize in solving strange things, each with unique skills, not to be underestimated.

But there are also those who fish in troubled waters.

"Dare to ask what kind of Taoist friend is it?" As soon as Lao Dao spoke, his beard floated up, and Bai Youyou looked at it and wanted to take a pair of scissors to cut him off.

"In Lower Kunlun!"

"Kunlun?" Lao Dao seemed to have heard some big joke, "Kunlun, I'm afraid that it is a sect that existed hundreds of years ago, and the poor Dao is really lonely and unheard, and I don't know that Kunlun has successors!" ”

"It's okay, you've heard about it now." Bai Youyou said.

"No matter how powerful Kunlun is, it was more than eight hundred years ago, you ask how many people know Kunlun now!" Lao Tao has a one-eyed and one-sided attitude, and his attitude is very mean.

What an old bastard!

"Don't be angry, the disciple is not wise, and he collided with you." Ruoshui apologized, silently pulled Bai Youyou behind him, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the seniors call them?" ”

"Hmph" Lao Dao spewed out a voice from his nostrils, "Poor Dao's surname is Zuo, his name is Hantian, and the word Bingyang." Everyone calls me Zuo Daochang. ”

After Lao Dao finished the introduction, he immediately put up a shelf.

"Then may I ask why Daoist Zuo came to this Baizhuang?" Ruoshui is respectful.

Since some people like to be flattered by others, why not go with the flow.

"Lao Dao is ordered by the Holy Lord today to solve the matter of Baizhuang."

"Then can Daoist Zuo explain the matter of Baizhuang in detail with the juniors?" Ruoshui smiled, "My disciple was originally from this Baizhuang, and when he heard that this kind of thing happened in his hometown, he wanted to come back and take a look." ”

"You are all immortal cultivators, and you are still involved in such mundane trivial matters, it is really useless!" Zuo Hantian looked down on this line of people more and more. The matter of Baizhuang has not even been solved by some highly skilled Taoists, and everyone in front of them is a stinky boy who has not dried up, isn't this obviously disgusted with his own life to give his life!

"If you don't say it, forget it, we can still solve it!" Bai Youyou couldn't get used to Zuo Hantian's arrogant style, and said categorically.

"Stinky girl, it's really uneducated!"

Bai Youyou was about to refute when Ruoshui grabbed his wrist and couldn't move.

"Please give me advice, and I will listen to you." Ruoshui said humbly.

"Okay." Zuo Hantian saw that Ruoshui was so sincere, and said eloquently, "Baizhuang had an accident half a month ago. Basically all the people in this village died overnight, and the way of death was strange, and the monster's approach was really cruel! ”

"Killing so many people overnight shows that this demonic power is not low." Bai Youyou said, "Aren't there still people alive?" ”

"Someone alive?" Zuo Hantian sneered, "There is a living person who fled to the official mansion and died of bleeding in front of the yamen." ”

Bai Youyou gasped, so everyone died......

There is no one in this world who has any contact with her, although she has no feelings for the Bai family, but she is also a person with a father and mother, and she still has a family. Now she has become a rootless duckweed, where is the return......

Just thinking about it, Bai Youyou felt his hand being held tighter, and Ruoshui turned his head and glanced at himself lightly.

"So the court sent you to deal with it?" Ruoshui asked.

"Sort of. Baizhuang died so many people overnight, the government thought it was done by bandits at first, and then the government sent a small servant to collect the corpse, but I didn't expect the person who collected the corpse to come and go. Zuo Hantian sighed, "Those family members who came to collect the corpses went to the yamen to make trouble, and then sent people to Baizhuang to investigate, but those people still haven't come back." ”

"Then the government invited some swaggering gods to come, and those who were unlucky died when they were unlucky, and they went crazy when they escaped with good luck." Zuo Hantian continued, "Originally, my junior brother was here to deal with this matter, but I didn't expect him to be seriously injured!" ”

"Then Daoist Zuo, have you found out what kind of monster it is?" Bai Youyou asked.

"I really don't know." Zuo Hantian shook his head helplessly, "He's still in a coma." ”

Ruoshui frowned: "Thank you, Daoist!" ”

"You're still young, so it's better to get out of this place early. As a cultivator, since you have chosen the path of seeking the Tao, you should no longer be nostalgic for the mortal world. Zuo Hantian looked at Bai Youyou.

"Thank you, Chief, we've made up our minds!" Bai Youyou thanked Zuo Hantianzuo, and turned to Ruoshui and said, "Let's go." ”

"Dao Chief, let's take our leave first!" The people said goodbye to the old man and entered the village.

"It's really unteachable!" Zuo Hantian shook his head, "If you don't take the bright road, you just want to go to Huangquan-"

Entering the village, a smell of corpse corrosion came over me. Everyone covered their noses with their sleeves. The further you go, the thicker the fog becomes, and you can't see the road at all.

It was getting dark, and a light rain began to fall.

"Hold on to me, don't get separated!" Ruoshui shouted, "I'm afraid this fog won't disappear for a while." ”

The group went around and around, unable to get out, and was trapped in the fog.

"Master, I can't walk." Wisdom cried and mourned, "The purple kite has gained a lot of weight, it's really heavy!" ”

Before the words fell, the arm of wisdom was scratched by the little fox.

You really deserve it, Bai Youyou thought.

"It's not getting early, so let's rest here first." Ruoshui looked up at the sky, "Maybe the fog will clear after a while." ”

It's night.

The fog dissipated, the puffy clouds cleared, the moon rose, and the smell of rot filled the air, which was disgusting.

"How can there be a moon in this weather?" Bai Youyou looked at Ruoshui and felt very uneasy.

"Master, I'm afraid, I want to go back to Kunlun-" Wisdom hugged Ruoshui's arm, "It's really scary here!" ”

"Wisdom is a big child, don't be afraid!" Ruoshui patted him on the shoulder, "Yoyo, are you scared?" ”

"I'm not afraid!" Bai Youyou said word by word, how old are they!

"Now that the moon is out and the fog has lifted, let's take a look around!"

The crowd began to wander around the village.

The village was very silent, and the vultures were even more dazzling in the moonlight, and the crows crowed from time to time, and the sound echoed throughout the village.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Ruoshui stopped in front of a house and looked at it carefully.

As soon as it was pushed away, a strong corrosive smell hit the sense of smell. Bai Youyou covered his nose with his hands, but he couldn't help but go to the side and vomit; Wisdom spits directly into prostration; Ruoshui slowly took out a handkerchief and covered his nose: "The importance of carrying a handkerchief with you!" ”

After the group was put in order, Bai Youyou carefully pushed open the door-

A woman dressed in tatters, with her hair disheveled and bleeding from her eyes, was eating a corpse, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with blood. Seeing Bai Youyou and his party, a big smile appeared on his face, and he held a hand and asked, "It's delicious, don't you eat it?" ”

Bai Youyou and Wisdom were frightened and stood motionless.

"Thank you, girl, we won't eat it." Ruoshui smiled and gently brought the door to the door.

"It's ..... What is it? Bai Youyou came back to his senses, "It can't be that the whole village is full of these things, right?" ”

"Do you still need to ask? Lonely ghosts! There should be quite a lot of people in the village, after all, so many people died......" Ruoshui sighed, "Have you read the books in the library carefully!" If you don't take it seriously in the future, I'll punish you. ”

Bai Youyou had nothing to say.

The group left the house, and they never dared to push the door at will along the way, who knows what will happen when a door is opened.

"Look, there's a big tree there!" Wisdom shouted.

When everyone looked over, they saw a towering tree with a lot of red satin tied to it, and a little thinner branch with baby clothes on it. The tree was surrounded by red threads, many bells were hung, and many charms were pasted. Next to the tree was a very dilapidated and cramped house, the tiles of which were almost broken.

"I remember here, it's a very old locust tree. I heard from the elders of the village that it was thousands of years old—" Bai Youyou approached and found a white handkerchief tied to the lowest tree, embroidered with an orchid pattern.

"What about this family?"

"Aunt Lan lives here, and she has a daughter named Lan Yin, but unfortunately she is blind. Their mother and daughter depend on each other, and their lives are very hard, I didn't expect this to happen..........." Bai Youyou's eyes were full of complexity, "But the days are so hard, maybe life will be better if you go to another world......."

The poor and lowly people mourn everything.

"Why do they live here?" Ruoshui looked at this old locust tree, with its thick trunk towering into the clouds, it seemed that it was probably thousands of years old.

All things have spirits, and this tree is surrounded like this, and there must be cats in it, Ruoshui thought to himself.

"Don't touch the red line around the old locust tree yet!" As soon as the words of the water fell, wisdom broke into the range surrounded by the red line!

"Master, what should I do now?" Wisdom asked nervously, "I won't ....."

"Shut up!" Bai Youyou looked at him with hatred, he really didn't succeed enough to fail, and he could let him encounter anything.

"Wisdom, don't move yet, let the teacher check it carefully!"

"Yoyo, has this old locust tree had any strange phenomena before?" Ruoshui asked.

"Not really." Bai Youyou recalled.

"Tsk, I can't figure out why this family lives under a locust tree. Don't they know that ghosts are haunted under the locust tree? "If the water is still staring at the old locust tree, the people are generally the most particular about these.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a white orchid handkerchief.

"That's a long story." Bai Youyou sighed, "This Aunt Lan was a leather and meat business when she was young, and later eloped with others, and as a result, she came to Baizhuang and gave birth to Lan Yin. In this village suffered many people to roll their eyes. ”

"Poor."

"Yes, the key is that Lan Yin is still blind and has been bullied a lot......"

"With that said, it's not hard to understand why they live here." Ruoshui glanced at the sparse roof tiles, afraid that if it rained, the dilapidated house would leak, "But there is no one in the village to help their mother and daughter?" ”

"Nope." Bai Youyou shook his head, "Because Lan Yin's behavior is too weird on weekdays, everyone in the village thinks she is a madman." ”

"What's the weird way?"

"I always seem to be talking to this old locust tree...... It's been so long that I've almost forgotten about it. ”

If he didn't come to Baizhuang, Bai Youyou felt that he might never think of Lan Yin again in his life.

"I'd like to see what this old locust tree has to offer!" If the water crosses the red line, gently pull off the white orchid handkerchief tied to the branch.

"Master, I want to figure it out!" Wisdom wailed, not seeing clearly under his feet, and stumbled and grabbed the red line.

Unexpectedly, the red line was broken, and the bell fell to the ground.

And all the hearts of the people were tensed.

There was a strong wind.

The moon turned red.

The fog returned, and this time the crowd was clearly trapped.

"Give me back the handkerchief!" Out of the fog came a man in a dark green robe, and he said coldly with a straight face.
