The southern suburbs of Yanling City are not uninhabited, and there are also many deserted villages located between the mountains.

You can see some snake-like mountain roads, scattered with ridges, which are sprinkled with dried grass ash and fertilized.

Some of the barren people wore red tasseled hats, small collared slanted robes or purple shoulders, or barefoot, or white socks and black shoes, and some labored on the ridges, and some also grazed in the mountains.

These people are quite wary of outsiders like Zhai Bufu, although they don't say that they directly reject him, they also often stare at his actions, and it seems that they will rush up and make no move against Zhai if something is wrong.

Zhai couldn't swim in some uninhabited mountains for two days, and when he didn't see the trace of the Bloody Hand Demon Buddha, he knew that this Demon Buddha must be hiding in the cottage of the desolate people.

In the past two days, he has been uncertain here, and he must have attracted the attention of the Demon Buddha, but the other party has not appeared, and he must have some purpose, intending to hide in this desolate cottage all the time.

Zhai couldn't force it, and quietly withdrew from the sight of these desolate people and hid in the mountains.

He had tried to communicate with these desolate people, and even directly controlled a few of them with his psychic power, but to no avail, instead attracting the attention of other vigilant desolate people in the distance.

Rather than force the matter by force, he adopted a roundabout approach.

Sometimes power can solve all problems quickly, but sometimes it backfires when it's too brute.

Because he vaguely felt that there was no shortage of masters in these surrounding cottages, although he did not feel that there was a threat to him, but the unity should not be underestimated.

He retreated into the mountains and observed for another day, and found that these desolate people were faintly wary of rejecting foreigners.

However, he was very welcome to some foreign merchants, and he was not too vigilant, but happily traded some prepared goods with the merchants in exchange for some rare tea bricks, porcelain, or green salt and other items in the barren state.

Seeing this, Zhai Fu had a plan in his heart.

It is not advisable to pretend to be a merchant to get close to the people of the desolate tribe, and it is too inefficient to go down one village after another, and you need to learn some special words of the merchant to fill the goods.

However, it is a good choice to directly hypnotize and control some merchants, and use these merchants to get close to the people of the Desolate Tribe, and obtain useful information.

Zhai couldn't think of it, so he did it and took action.

He followed some merchants and forcibly hypnotized some people, but he didn't do anything about the merchants who joined a certain force and had a brand in their bodies.

But even so, in one day, he successfully controlled five merchants.

These merchants often wander alone in the mountains and wilderness, and even occasionally turn to the business of eating black and black.

However, these people are also the lowest people in the rivers and lakes, and they are not powerful people, otherwise they would not have done such a cheap job as a businessman.

Therefore, even if there is some ability, it is limited and tight, and in the face of Zhai Can't be a master who is enough to be the leader of the small sect, it is naturally not enough to see at all, and he is easily controlled.

Zhai couldn't tell the characteristics of the Demon Buddha, and when he asked the five merchants, the other party had not seen this person in the vicinity, so the Demon Buddha should have been deliberately hidden and hidden deep enough.

Although I don't know why the other party is so deliberately hiding, this can only be determined after finding the other party.

With the help of five merchants, Zhai was unable to successfully begin to communicate with the people of the deserted village.

In the mountains on the southern outskirts of Yanling City, there are no less than a dozen villages.

Five merchants are responsible for two or three villages, which also takes two days.

If the Bloody Hand Demon Buddha deliberately hid it, even if these five people went deep into the village to inquire about the transaction, it would be difficult to detect.

However, since Zhai couldn't control these five people, he naturally put a sub-seal into the body of these five people.

After the five of them entered the village, it was equivalent to finding out the news with Zhai's incarnation.

Zhai can't and can observe every deserted person and building in the village through the perspective and various perceptions of the five people, and with his understanding of the formation and keen spiritual perception, he is confident that he can still find some clues.

And so, another day passed.

Among the first five villages to be investigated, Zhai could not find anything.

The five merchants had basically walked through every household in the village, and the reason was that they had asked if they needed tea bricks, green salt, and other goods, as they had done in the past, and they had not aroused the suspicion and vigilance of the deserters.

The first five villages were basically excluded, and unless the Bloody Hand Demon Buddha was hiding in the ancestral ancestral hall of these villages, or directly hiding in the room of the village leader, he would definitely not be able to escape Zhai's eyes.

The next day, after replenishing the goods, the five merchants continued to explore other villages under Zhai's uncontrollable control.

Unexpectedly, this time, Zhai was really unable to find the traces of the Bloody Hand Demon Buddha.

"Miaohe Cottage ......" Zhai couldn't hide in a cave opened up in the mountain, but at this time, he smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and the smile gradually enlarged on his face, giving birth to a little coldness.

After searching for so long, he finally found the traces of the Bloody Hand Demon Buddha, and he was further sure that it was correct, so he immediately did not test too much, so as not to startle the snake, and controlled the merchants who entered the Miao He cottage to leave the cottage as usual.

Miaohe cottage is located on the slope of a low hill three mountains away from Zhaifu.

Unable to get out of the cave, Zhai flew up to the canopy of a large tree, and could see the wooden houses on the hill covered with tiles or cedar bark, and the buildings crisscrossed the mountains.

All of them are on the slopes of some two- and three-story stairs, and there are stilted buildings, laying floor slabs, and building houses. The stilted building is not inhabited, and it is piled up with miscellaneous items or domestic animals.

His gaze was dark, like that of a wolf observing his prey, and he could observe the state of his prey miles away through the dense branches and foliage of the trees in the mountains.

With a flicker, he swooped down from the canopy and began to prepare for the night's action.

The blue sky and the day are naturally not a good time for the black hand to kill, and it is suitable to do it at night to get a blow away thousands of miles.

In the afternoon, snow began to fall in the air, but it became heavier and heavier, and then it turned into snowflakes, and by the evening it was already goose feather snowflakes.

The moon was buried in the sky by dark clouds and snowflakes, and everything in the heavens and the earth was quiet, even the wild wolves did not want to howl in such a cold night.

The wind was crying, the cold and snow were raging, and Zhai's figure was like a ghost in the mountains sweeping out of the cave and heading towards the Miaohe cottage where every family lit a bonfire to keep warm.

There is a feeling of sharpening knives and huo to pigs and sheep......
