Chapter 56: The Pact of Life (1)

The Dark Star Array in Wuxia Town had been repaired, and early the next morning, Yun Ling Xiu and the others followed the guidance of the Ember Bead and headed down to the southwest.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Yun Lingxiu stood in front of a pile of weeds and thorns with branches taller than a person, his face full of doubts, "There is no way here. ”

"That's right, it's from here!"

Everyone took out the ember beads, and the five beads instantly floated in the air, forming the shape of a five-pointed star, one of which was especially long, pointing directly in the direction of the pile of weeds.

"......" Yun Lingxiu was helpless, "That'...... Do it! ”

Everyone worked together, and it didn't take long for them to clear the way out of the obstacles in front of them. The five of them walked up the road, and in a short time they came to the end.

There is no road ahead, broken at the head of the cliff.

"......" At this time, even Nan Rongpu Chu was full of black lines, "This ...... This bead can't be broken, right? ”

"Ember beads are no different." Yun Yuan sank.

"That'...... It can only be at the bottom of the cliff. ”

Everyone looked at the bottomless cliff and fell silent.

"There's a path here!" Ning Pheasant brushed away the weeds with his sword, revealing a long, narrow and winding path on the edge of the cliff, which circled the entire mountain.

By the time everyone reached the bottom, it was already completely dark. Twilight is four, and there is silence all around.

"The moon is gone." Nan Rongpu looked at the dark sky at first, and was stunned for a while, "Just now on the mountain road, there is still the ...... of the moon"

"This place is a little weird......"

The night was thicker, and it was covered like splashes of ink, and if it was substantially blocking the view, I couldn't see my fingers.

"This road is so dark, how to walk!" In the dark, Nan Rongpu was tripped by the stone under his feet, his body staggered, and one hand firmly supported his arm, holding him up, so that he could stand firmly.

Nan Rongpu remembered that Yun Ling Xiu was beside him, and immediately thanked him, "Brother Ling Xiu, thank you~"

"Thanks for what?" Yun Lingxiu's voice came from the front.

"Hey, why are you still behind, hurry up." Bai Yu'er's voice also came from a distance. For some reason, Nan Rongpu suddenly felt a chill down his spine at that moment, and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" ”

There was a haze all around, and nothing could be seen.

Xu Shi realized that it was not appropriate to ask such a question, so he immediately said, "Brother Yun Yuan? ”

“……”

"Chu Mo? Ning, Sister Ning Pheasant? ”

No one answered.

The hand holding his arm slowly let go, making a "snapping" sound, as if in response. The wind was gusting beside him, and Nan Rongpu's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to make a sound in a trembling voice.

"Brother Puchu, what's wrong with you?" Yun Lingxiu had already sensed that something was wrong and turned around.

"Huh!" Yun Yuan drew his sword out, and the aura on the body of the sword dispelled a little darkness of the night. Nan Rongpu vaguely saw that beside him, there was a woman in white with a disheveled hair, and the woman was close to his ear, as if she was whispering.

Nan Rongpu was so frightened that he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Surrounded by sword light, the sword qi approached the woman in white, and Yun Yuan raised his sword to stab mercilessly. At this moment, a few bright beams of light came, and the woman's figure dissipated out of thin air.

"There is a village ahead!" Bai Yu'er exclaimed.

Those few beams of light emanated from the village not far ahead, and the quiet village suddenly brightened up, as if awakened from a dream, and the haze had quietly faded at this time.

Yun Lingxiu helped Nan Rongpuchu, who was pale, and said with a smile, "I can see it clearly now." ”

"That'...... The woman has no legs ......" Nan Rong Puchu was obviously frightened and stammered.

"That's just a wisp of soul," Bai Yu'er pouted, "I can't imagine that you are a son of the world, and you have been cultivating immortals for more than ten years, and you are afraid of this lonely soul!" ”

Nan Rongpu didn't raise the bar in a rare way, but just tore off the robe on his body, scratched his back, and frowned, "Why is it so stuffy and itchy...... Brother Ling Xiu, can you help me take a look at my back, what's wrong? ”

Yun Lingxiu looked at the black handprint behind his ear with a heavy face, glanced at Yun Yuan, and did not say anything, only said softly, "You guys turn around!" “

When the three girls turned their backs, they immediately lifted Nan Rong Puchu's clothes. On the smooth back, one burn mark after another appeared, looming, as if attached to it, the burn was deep, and a trace of yin qi was oozing. A little blood oozed from the center of his back, which was exactly scratched by Nan Rongpu at the beginning.

"It's okay," Yun Lingxiu put down his shirt and said lightly, "Maybe the insects have crawled on your back, you have to scratch it lightly, the skin is torn." ”

"Huh? Is the skin broken? Unexpectedly, Nan Rongpu looked puzzled, "Why can't I feel it?" It's hot, it's really hot, aren't you hot? ”

The night breeze is breezy and cool.

The five of them glanced at each other, and Bai Yu'er said strangely, "Isn't the current climate slightly cool?" ”

"Let's go ahead and start the village." Ning Pheasant pointed to the village not far away, "There is a fire over there, there must be someone's family, let's spend the night." ”

The five of them walked towards the village again.

The more they walked towards the village, the more cold Yun Lingxiu and the others felt, the village was silent, not only did there be no chickens and dogs, but even birds and insects chirped. The whole village seemed to be asleep, and it was very quiet.

But Nan Rongpu seemed to be getting hotter and hotter at the beginning, and he had already taken off his robe, and his cheeks were so hot that his cheeks were red.

It is a very simple village with a straight street that runs from east to west, and houses are lined on both sides. A bright red lantern hangs in front of each house, and the candlelight is scorching and jumping, making the whole village brightly lit.

Above the lantern, there is only one word, Mi.

"Huh? Is this the name of the village? Bai Yu'er looked at the words on the lantern and guessed.

Nan Rongpu stood in front of a house and affirmed, "No! ”

"What not?"

"It's not the name of the village!"

"How do you know it's not?"

At this moment, Nan Rongpu was stunned, his hot and red face showed a puzzled look, and muttered, "How do I know? ”

"I don't know, don't be so sure." Bai Yu'er stuck out her tongue at him, wondering, "Why is there no one on this street?" ”

"Someone," Nan Rongpu looked at the empty street in a daze, and pointed not far away, "There are still people selling lanterns there." ”

Bai Yu'er looked over suspiciously, the street was still empty, the night wind was blowing, it was inexplicably cold, and she was about to open her mouth to ask Nan Rong Puchu if he was playing tricks, when he heard him say a little confused, "Ah, it seems that there really isn't." ”

"Hmph...... I knew you wanted to scare me! Bai Yu'er snorted coldly and followed Ning Pheasant.

The five knocked on the door of the house to spend the night, but no one answered.

In desperation, Yun Lingxiu had no choice but to drag Yun Yuan to jump onto the wall together, only to find that although the entire village was brightly lit, it was empty. Candles or oil lamps were lit in every house, and hot meals were set up on the dining table, but the room was lifeless. Such a scene, in the middle of the night, looks particularly weird and terrifying.

There was no movement in the Ember Bead, and even Yun Yuan's Sunset Sword was unusually quiet.

No demonic energy? And no demonic spirit?

What's going on?

Before he could think clearly, he heard Bai Yu'er's crisp voice, "Little sister, are you from this village?" Yun Lingxiu immediately pulled Yun Yuan to jump off the wall, and saw that not far from the street, a thin figure was carrying a small backpack, slowly walking towards the end of the street. The figure was petite and weak, as if it would be blown to the ground by the wind in the next moment, and judging by the figure, it should be an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

Hearing Bai Yu'er's question, the figure slowly turned around, looked at them stunned for a long time, and nodded at them with a sluggish expression.
