When she arrived at the entrance of the cave next to the waterfall, Qiao Yan called as before, knowing that the other party would not answer, so she went in directly, but found that the cave was empty, and the bottles and cans she moved over on the ground had also been cleaned up neatly, and the sword that had been placed next to the stone platform also left with the owner at this time, and there was no trace.

Qiao Yan stood in the hole, thinking about all the things she had done with Yu Zhi in recent days, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, in fact, she knew that he was a cold and soft-hearted person, and he would also meditate while listening to her babble about trivial things in front of and behind the mountain, and now a person suddenly left without saying a word, which made Qiao Yan's choreographed parting words rotten in his belly, and there was nowhere to say.

However, loss is loss, this emotion hovered in Qiao Yan's heart for a moment and then slowly faded, and he only regretted in his heart, I am afraid that I will never see a fish as beautiful in the future. Thinking of this, Qiao Yan unconsciously blushed a little, thinking that fortunately Yingying was not here, if Yingying saw her like this, she would definitely laugh at her Sichun.

After being ashamed for a moment, Qiao Yan looked around, don't say Yingying, even the rabbits who love to burrow in the back mountain, they don't see a shadow. Qiao Yan put his mind at ease, sat on the stone where Yu Zhi often meditated, closed his eyes and thought about Yu Zhi's appearance, and said to himself; "If you get married in the future, you will find a husband like Ah Yu, but I hope that my temper will be gentler."

While muttering, Qiao Yan's mind kept appearing Yu Zhi's figure, and he was still a little worried about him, but after thinking about it, he should be a safe person, since he has decided to leave, it also proves that his injuries have been healed, and he has the ability to leave here.

Don't worry much, Qiao Yan straightened up and spit back and forth, remembering what Yu Zhi said, he raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, learned from his father's fire, and began to use the fire control technique.

At first, Qiao Yan only felt a little burning panic around her body, and after holding on for a while, the flame in her palm would attack her whole body with the pain of her heart, Qiao Yan let out a low cry of pain, and quickly withdrew her hand, wondering if there was something wrong with herself, or if there was something wrong with her method of resisting the fire.

But fortunately, Qiao Yan remembered that the second master could also resist fire, but because his father's fire control skills were unmatched, the second master rarely resisted fire in front of the demons, this time she went to find the second master, even if the second master didn't know the secret of the mountain, she could also ask the second master for the ability to resist fire.

After a few breaths, and when the pain of the burning flames subsided, Qiao Yan got up and walked out of the cave.

In a moment, in the green bamboo forest next to the waterfall, the blue white clothes flashed and drifted away.

Even said and begged, and met a fox fighting halfway, Qiao Yan broke through the layers of checkpoints set by the green snake in the forest and went to the outside of the forest.

Qiao Yan remembered that when he was a child, in fact, his father did not allow the demons in the forest to go out privately, for fear of breaking the boundaries of getting along with humans, but since the green snake took real power in this Taihang Mountain, the previous rules were all left behind, Qiao Yan felt that she went back quickly this time, only looking for the second elder to ask the reason for the matter, and never stayed longer, in fact, it was not a bad father's rules, besides, Qiao Yan comforted herself, she just wanted to confirm the secret of Yan Shan, and whether her fire resistance technique was correct. If she pleases the second elder and teaches her to use the real fire resistance technique without being burned herself, then she may become very powerful, and if she becomes stronger, she can protect more animals, and in this way, it is also for the good of this forest.

Walking out of the forest along the mountain road, watching the surrounding trees gradually become less thick and dense, and there were many fewer animals in the mountains, Qiao Yan knew that it was not far from the human village. The eagle that had flown far away had once told Qiao Yan that it was impossible to use demonic power at will when it came out of the forest, and if it was discovered by humans to be a demon, it would be caught and burned alive. For the sake of safety, Qiao Yan began to walk with a stick after a long distance, and the eagle also said that men in human beings obviously like bewitching and beautiful appearances, but often beautiful goblins will not end well, so Qiao Yan was cautious and painted his face with ash. I just met a woodcutter chopping wood on the mountain road, Qiao Yan smiled at the woodcutter, his black face was lined with white teeth, and he almost scared the woodcutter out of the sky, and then the woodcutter eased up and asked Qiao Yan if there was a demon in the village and came out to escape.

Qiao Yan nodded, thinking that in fact, it was not only her and the monkey Yingying who were afraid of demons, but also those who were weak among the human beings, but also those who were afraid of demons, especially the big group under the green snake, not to mention that people were afraid of them, even the demons in the forest were extremely scared when they saw it. Just now, Qiao Yan heard the woodcutter say that there were demons in the nearby village, so he thought that it must be the green snake guys who came out to harm the people and eat people and set fires.

The old man chopping wood was only in his sixties, and Qiao Yan had lived for hundreds of years, but when he saw the old woodcutter, he also called his grandfather sweetly, and asked which nearby village had the most demons.

The white-haired woodcutter stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Wutong Town, saying that it was the most fierce, and he told Qiao Yan not to go, he had children waiting for dinner at home, and he had no choice but to come out to chop wood to make money, if there was no big thing, but he must not go to Wutong Town.

Qiao Yan nodded, thanked the woodcutter for his kindness, put the stick in his hand for most of the day on the woodcutter's burden, and quickly ran towards Wutong Town.

Wutong Town was originally an inconspicuous town at the foot of Taihang Mountain, but the trend of rivers and mountains has come to a halt here, and the mountains and rivers have formed a beautiful place with excellent feng shui.

When Qiao Yan arrived in Wutong Town, he saw that the town was empty, and there were broken walls and ruins of houses everywhere, and some people quietly opened a gap from the closed door, and they seemed to be relieved to see Qiao Yan alone. Qiao Yan was also trembling, because she had heard that some human monks, such as Ah Yu, were also very good at cultivation, and she was alone, and if she met a monk who hunted demons, the end would be very miserable.

Carefully through the entire Wutong Town, Qiao Yan met a lame begging man on a small stone bridge at the east end of Wutong Town, and asked very kindly to know that the monsters came out to harm people, most of them were at night, and the specific days could not be determined, just like the torrential rain that came in June, which caught people off guard and was difficult to parry.

Often as soon as people start talking, the defense line in their hearts is easy to remove, and the lame beggar sees that Qiao Yan is always smiling very kindly, and there are very few people who speak to him so respectfully on weekdays, so he opens his heart and says a few more words. The beggar told Qiao Yan that the reason why the monsters have plagued Wutong Town in recent days is because when the first time the demons were disturbed, the villagers joined forces to set up an ambush in the village, and when the monsters came, they ignited the pine oil buried around and burned one or two brutal monsters.

The monsters in the mountains and forests are bloody and brutal, and when they saw their own kind die in Wutong Town, they kept this account in their hearts, if it weren't for the immortals in the fairy temple in the town who showed their spirits a few times, I am afraid that the people of the entire Wutong Town have been eaten by the monsters.

When Qiao Yan heard the appearance of the fairy, he was frightened and was busy trying to find a place to hide, and the beggar saw that Qiao Yan was afraid, thinking that she was afraid of monsters, so he invited her to his residence very warmly. Qiao Yan felt that this was a good choice, so he quickly thanked the beggar, helped him pick up a broken bowl beside him, and went to the beggar's residence.

When she arrived at the place, Qiao Yan looked around, and felt that although the beggar's residence was a little messy, it was also good, at least the walls did not leak wind, the house did not leak rain, and it was not much worse than the houses she had seen before.

When the beggar saw Qiao Yan looking around, he explained, "Here! It's not my home, the town is very noisy, there are a few good conditions, or the timid, all moved their families to other places, leaving this empty house, it's cheap, we call it Hanako! ”

"We?"

Qiao Yan was puzzled, could it be that she was also like a flower child, this doubt had just arisen, and she heard the sound of fast footsteps in the room, and a childish little girl ran over, with a little sickness on her face, and called to the beggar a few times, "Grandpa, grandpa!" ”

The beggar responded with a smile, pointed to the little girl and introduced to Qiao Yan: "This is my granddaughter Ah Fu, who was scared by monsters eating people a few days ago, got sick, and has not been well. ”

The little girl came over, saw Ah Fu, hid behind the beggar timidly, and called to Ah Fu sensibly, "Hello sister." ”

Qiao Yan laughed a few times, he was a little shy, and asked the beggar, "Here, is it just the two of you here?" ”

"Ugh." The beggar sighed, took out an air-dried bun from his bosom and handed it to his granddaughter Ah Fu beside him, wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a desolate voice: "A year ago, we were still a family of five, Ah Fu's father is a hunter in this nearby village, although the family is not rich, but also safe and happy, but that night there were monsters in our village, Ah Fu's father and brother were eaten by monsters, at that time I, a lame old man and Ah Fu in the cellar to sort out the cabbage for the winter, only to escape. ”

Qiao Yan felt a little sad in his heart, thinking about the people in the town just now, the door was closed, and he asked puzzledly: "Then the other people here, knowing that there are demons, why didn't they run away?" ”

The beggar shook his head, spread out a hand full of cracks, and said helplessly, "Where can I escape?" No one knows where the next haunting place will be! Ah Fu and I, as well as several families in this town, have fled from other villages, but somehow in this world, there are more and more places where demons are haunting, and people are struggling to make a living, and they don't know where to flee! ”

"That'...... That ......" Qiao Yan hesitated for a long time, and he didn't know how to solve the problem at hand.

Speaking of monsters, the beggar thought of his dead family members, and pointed to heaven indignantly: "Look at the old man! Those man-eating monsters will be damned sooner or later! ”
