Bai Jiujiu closed his eyes and choked up, "Can you give me a little more time, I ......"

She couldn't say any more, what if she was given a little more time, she had been thinking about it for months, but nothing had changed, she still wanted to stay here.

Qinghui sighed silently, suddenly raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, and before Bai Jiujiu could react, he suddenly reached out and tapped on her Lingtai acupoint. In an instant, everything around me changed, and the originally bright blue sky was as if it had been covered with a layer of cloth, and the light was dim.

In the small alley where Bai Jiujiu was standing, there was a faint cloud of black gas. She has been in the sect for so long, so she naturally knows that this is yin qi! How can there be such a strong yin qi? Bai Jiujiu was full of doubts.

This is not the end, Qinghui led her out of this alley again, took a turn in the capital, and even came to the highest mountain outside the city, looking down from here, most of the capital is in full view.

The capital, which looks glamorous and prosperous on weekdays, is shrouded in countless yin qi at this moment. The people under the yin qi are moving forward with difficulty.

Bai Jiujiu was shocked by the scene in front of him, and it took a long time to open his mouth and find his voice, "Why is this happening?" ”

Qinghui waved his hand and withdrew the spiritual power he had exerted, "The Midyear Festival is approaching, a hundred ghosts will be dispatched, the yin energy in the yang world will increase greatly, and the alien beasts will also take advantage of the opportunity to move, and even more people from the sect will come to murder your life, little junior sister, it is not safe for you to stay here." ”

Bai Jiujiu's heart was in turmoil, she twisted her hands together, and said hesitantly, "Let me think about it." ”

On the way back, neither of them spoke. Because Qinghui set up an immortal law, although there were people passing by, he couldn't see them. Just as they passed the courtyard of a house, the sound of crying was heard inside. Bai Jiujiu involuntarily stopped.

This is a peasant family, and there is a small courtyard fenced outside, and you can see the inside on tiptoe. A young woman was holding a drooping child crying, and the child was also crying with mourning.

Bai Jiujiu just glanced at it casually, and knew that this family's life was very difficult, so he couldn't help but feel compassion and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The woman came to open the door with red eyes, and when she saw two young men and women standing outside the door, both of them very well alive, she could not help but look puzzled.

"This sister-in-law, my brother and I happened to be passing by here, and we wanted to drink water under an excuse." Bai Jiujiu said politely.

When the woman heard this, she saw that they did not look like bad people, so she turned sideways and let them in. As soon as Bai Jiujiu entered the courtyard, he felt that the depressed and heavy atmosphere was becoming more and more obvious, and he suddenly saw a small white flower on the woman's head.

The custom here is that only when something happens to someone in the family, they will wear white flowers on their heads, and in this family, is there someone who has died?

The woman fetched the water and came over, seeing that Bai Jiujiu didn't pick it up for a long time, but stared at the top of her head in a daze, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, the water scoop was handed forward again, and said timidly, "This girl, you want the water ......."

Bai Jiujiu came to his senses at this time, hurriedly took the water scoop, and after taking a sip, he asked straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, what happened in your family?" ”

Hearing this, the woman's eyes couldn't help but turn red, probably because she was afraid of losing face in front of outsiders, so she held back her tears, lowered her head and said, "My daughter lost it a few days ago, and she hasn't come back yet." ”

"I'm sorry, but the child was lost, why didn't you report it to the official." Bai Jiujiu and Qinghui glanced at each other, and each saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

The woman finally couldn't help it, and cried out with a whimper, "I reported to the official, and after the messengers came to see it, they said that Xiaobao was taken away by a wild beast and could never be found again." ”

"Do you often have wild beasts coming into the village?" Bai Jiujiu's heart suddenly clenched, as if she felt the woman's sadness, and her voice was unconsciously lowered.

"Although there are wild beasts in the back mountain, they have never entered the village for decades."

At this time, the child just now also ran over, hugged the woman's thigh, and the mother and son hugged their heads and cried. Bai Jiujiu couldn't bear to see it, took out all the silver, gave it to the woman, and then pulled Qinghui away.

After leaving the peasant woman's house, Bai Jiujiu was silent for a long time, and it took a while to find his voice back, "I want to go to the back mountain to see." ”

Qinghui glanced at her with complicated eyes, and turned quietly under his feet.

This is a shrubbyd mountain, the surrounding strange rocks are craggy, the further you go in, the deeper it becomes, the forest does not see sunlight all year round, and the fallen leaves in the ground are piled up in a thick layer, and you can't hear a sound when you step on it.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was not even a single bird call, could there be wild beasts in this kind of place? Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but be a little suspicious. The further she went, the more confused she became, and a strong sense of strangeness seized her, something was wrong with this forest.

As if sensing something, she stopped abruptly, and quickly turned her head to look at a bush in front of her, where the leaves shook so violently that something seemed to be hiding behind them.

Bai Jiujiu was about to go over to see what was going on, but Qinghui grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Wait." ”

He smelled a hint of alien beasts in the air.

Qinghui pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, looked around the quiet and unspeakable again, and finally determined the fact, why is this forest so quiet, why is there not even a small animal, just because here, it has been occupied by strange beasts!

And all the living creatures in the forest were eaten by strange beasts. Therefore, the number of strange beasts here should be very large.

"Little junior sister, this is a place temporarily occupied by strange beasts, it is very dangerous, what you see should not be a wild beast, but a foreign beast." Qinghui said slowly.

Bai Jiujiu's eyes widened in surprise, how could they be all foreign beasts. Qinghui didn't say much, his fingers flicked, and a trace of spiritual power was released from his fingertips, and after a while, the movement in the forest became louder, and countless strange beasts rushed over.

The spiritual power of the cultivator is very attractive to the alien beasts, so Qinghui drew a circle with this, introduced the alien beasts into the circle, and then pinched a magic decision, trapped them in it, and then used spiritual power to destroy them one by one.

The strange beasts that fell here were all low-level, and their spiritual power was not very high, so they were easily killed by Qinghui. He released another trace of spiritual power, and after exploring all over the forest for a long time, he was relieved to find that there were no other strange beasts.

It seems that the strange beasts here have been cleaned up.

Bai Jiujiu felt the quiet abnormal forest, the place that had been ravaged by strange beasts, and I was afraid that he would not be able to recover within a few years.
